a return we. published of the number of defalcations
which have occurred on the pert of the parochial oolleobors
of taxes in Great Britain within the last 20 years, the
different sums so lost, and the number of cues in which
the Treasury did and did not compel the
parishes concerned to be re-assessed. The nuke-
polls, on both sides of the Thames, seems to have
been particularly unfortunate. In the county of Middle-
sex there were 37 a•es ; and in the county of Surrey 29 ;

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, APRIL 20.

The impeachment trial was resumed to-day. The
court refused to receive the testimony of Secretary
Welles and others, offered by the counsel for the
defence, to prove that the cabinet, including Mr.
Stanton, advised President Johnson to veto the
Tenure of Oltlos Bill, and that the cabinet had
since agreed that the act was inapplicable to the
case of Mr. Stanton.

The evidence for the defence was concluded,
and the managers of the prosecution will argue in
reply thereto on Wednesday next.
