R. COBDIN, ESQ., M.P., TO R. DALGLTRYI, ESQ., M.P.
Algiers, Feb. 16, 1861.
My dear Sir,—The newspapers which have just
reached me contain a circular issued by a committee
in Glasgow bearing your signature as convener,
inviting subscriptions to a testimonial fund in
acknowledgment of my " recent eminent services."
Whilst I appreciate most cordially the friendly
motives which must have prompted the gentlemen
whose name; appear on the committee to take this
step without my consent or knowledge, I must beg
them to allow me very respectfully to decline their
proffered kindness. I drew upon the government
for my expenses during the time I was in Paris,
and have therefore incurred no pecuniary sacrifice
for which lam entitled to reimbursement. As for
the services which I rendered in connexion with
the Treaty, they were a labour of love for which it
would be painful to me to accept compensation in
any form, or from any quarter. Reiterating my
thanks for your kind intentions,
Believe me, yours very truly,
Ric. COPDLN.
Robt. Dalglish, Esq.. M.P.

We read in the Mafia Times of the 14th :—" Our
readers will be glad to learn that Ruggiero Settimo, Prince
of Fetal* at present residing amongst us, the noblest, per.
hapa, of all the men who have ever suffered for the Italian
came, hes been called by the King to the chair of President
GI the Upper House of the Italian Parliament. The ap-
pointment, however, it is feared, is purely nominal ; as it
is not likely that the good old man, from his great age and
infirmities, will be able to avail himself either of his nomi-
nation or of the means of conveyance—a Sardinian frigate—
which has been placed at his disposal. It is well, however,
that even in his last place of refuge Ruggiero Settimo
should live and die the titular head of the first Italian
Parliament."

THE GOVERNMENT DEFEAT LAST NIGHT.

This is the first blood drawn this session. Up to
this moment there has been nothing dune that midst not
have been done by ministers and their departments, without
parliament ever meeting. There has been nothing to tell,
not a bit of parliamentary gossip worth seeding to your
friend at the antipodes. The mast striking feature of the
session has been the want of its usual features, and we
could only notice what there was not. Here, however, is
a salient point ; • crag of hard granite thrusting itself
up out of the soil. Think, of all men in the
world, of the quiet ex-governor of the Bank
knocking over the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and striking a fatal blow at the principle of the income tax !
The new principle adranoed by Mr. Hubbard, un the antho-
rity at Mr. James Wilson, is to assess income in proportion
as it is available for immediate expenditure. A lawyer or
a physician, for example, It may be said, must in common
prodence put by every year a third of his income, in-
asmuch as he is fast exhausting the sources of it.
Call the remaining two-thirds his real income, tad
tax it. That is Mr. Habbard's principle, to which we
give as much plane as the house gave last night—a right to
be coosidemd. The income tax does demoralise the tax-
payer in more ways than one. Besides putting him on his
mettle to meet wrong with wrong, it assumes and instils the
dangerous notion that all his anneal earning is redly
disposable income. It makes him not only dishonest
but improvident. It immunises him to forget what
itself utterly ignores—that his brain is but • very
poor capital to draw upon. For our own part, we
have ever defended the income tea as • means of
raising mooey, when money WY wanted, without needleedy
disturbing the operations of commerce and trade. We
have held that such • defence was Mapplimble to a imma-
nent retention of the tax. Bat, between Mr. Gladstone
sad Mr. Hubbard, the principle et the tax and its effect
on the national morality will now receive all the
ties we ems desire. Perhaps we shall go as paying the
whole tax, but we shall know better the reams why, and
shall feel ourselves addressed as resaleable beim', not
merely leered at the discretion of the Chancellor of the
larshequer.—Tiams.

issue of more than a per ventage upon the demand. This
circumstance having led to the franduleot publication of
execrable copies, as libellous upon the illustrious individuals
represented as discreditable to the art of photography, the
appearance of • new series of originals will be very
generally welcomed.

The directors of the Clarendon Mining Company
of Jamaica have ie.twal their report to be presented

giving the reports from the mine, the directors
observe as follous :
The opinion of 3fr. Trystoning, consulting engineer to the
company, so frequently expressed with regard to the im-
provement of the mine in depth, appears to be fully borne
out by the mining reports in question. In the report of the
geological survey of Jamaica (now being carried on under
the auspices of government) is the following passage in re-
ference to the mineral wealth of the island -" The
important fact is established by clear evidence that the
copper mines of Jamaica are in deposits of a much younger
site than those which contain the same in the north of
Europe, but as we know that the rich mines in Cuba, and a
part of Tuscauy, occur in rocks of the like age, which hays
been perforated by certain eruptive rocks, there it good
(11111012 to hope that the mines in Jamaica may ago prove
to be highly remunerative, if worked with taleat sea per-
severance. Thus the mining reports are Costumed by the
facts shove stated. In order, therefore, to tally prove the
mine in depth, your directors have made avail of b. 6d. per
share, payable on or before the 10th April next. The
accounts for the past year have been made out and audited.

The SECRETARY rout the following report :
"The accounts, which have been duly examined and
verified by the auditors, show that, after the payment of

all expenses, charges, salaries, Ice., and one-fifth of the

directors recommend the payment of interest to the share-
, bolder. at the rate of 5 per cent. upon the paid•up capital
of the company."
The enensuen congratulated the shareholders upon the
state of prosperity in which they stood. Owing to the se-
verity of the weatherlast yearend the beginning of this, there
bed been many disasters which had affected their capital to
some extent; still they were in • flourishing condition. 'Their
risks, which had stool in the aggregate at 7,000,0001., were
now under 2,000.0001., and would be speedily re-
duced to something under 1,500,0001. by the return
of vessels of which they had advice*. Their business was
very much increasing, and was of the best character, and he
had every hope that next year they would be able to pay 7;
per cent, or perhaps more. He moved the adoption of
the report, which Mr. DANIELL, the deputy-chairman,
seconded ; sad, alter • few remarks from shueholders
generally of a sstnlatory obamoter, the motion was ans.

THE POLICE COURTS.

SOUTHWt.LEF.

A singular application was mach) by a woman mbar re-
spectably dressed, who said that she was in peat distr.'s,
owing to her having been informed that her husband was
buried under the ruins of the fire. He had worked for
many years in the warehouses, and was seen to fall, and
was immediately buried under the ruins.
Mr. Burnham asked her what she wanted from him.
Applicant said she wanted to know whether th ought
not to find his remains as well as those of Mr. Braidwood.

Mr. Burnham told her that no doubt they would as WOO
MI the firemen and others could get at that portion of the
ruins.

Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, asked her if she had recently
lived with her husband.

She replied that they had not lived together for three
years.
Mr. Edwin said be believed she was living with another
man ; therefore it could not much matter to her about her
husband. If the latter was dead she could now marry her
paramour.
Mr. Burcham told the applicant he could do nothing for
her. No doubt her husband's remains would soon be found.

She then hurriedly left the court.
Mr. Burcham was occupied in investigating a large number
of charges against costermongers and others for baying se-
rval hundredweight of tallow in their possession which
had flowed from the wharves in Tooleyatreet.
The constables said that the prisoners were driving away
cart-loods from the vicinity of the fire, and, on being ques-
tioned, they told the police they had purchased it of the
men who had collected it in the sewers. _ _

Mr. W. Edwin, who attended for two of the prisoners,
who had near a ton weight in their permission, said that
they. purchased the tallow of persons who collected it, and
considered that they were justified in doing so.
Mr. Burcham inid that the tallow in question was • pei.
tion of that lately stowed away in the warehouses which WA
been destroyed by the late calamitous flie, and it must
be the property of some one. He should suppose
the insurance offices would be the proper claimants. It was
clear that at present the prisoners were not entitled to it,
neither were the persons who collected it, but as soon ma the
proper owners could be found, no doubt they would be re-
munerated for their trouble. He should discharge all the
and the tallow must to detained in the hands of
Clemppolice. if not claimed by the owners within a reasonable
period it would be returned to the parties in whose pos-
mignon it was found. He should recommend the police to
weigh it and take the parties' name, so that it might be
returned to them if not °weed.

been to art. The prises will be books, instead of pictures.
The first prize will be a library of the value of 3(10 guineas ;
the second prize will be a library of the value of 100
guineas ; and the rest of the prizes • ill consist of libraries
of smaller value. A general priced catalogue of books will
be needed to every pnzeholder, from which he may select
to the veins of his prize, or he may select from any cata-
logues within his reach. The large proportion of prizes will
be live guises libraries. It is the object of the promoters
of the Book Unice to spread their libraries mums the work-
ing classes. It has been resolved, with the view of adapting
the machinery of the Bo* Union to the means of the work-
ing-clams, to receive the subscriptions of one guinea, in 21
shilling instalments, payable within the year, at the sub-
scriber's convenience. Every rubscriber will receive a copy
of a new or standard work of the value of one guinea. The
subscription list will class on the 14 of May in every year,
and the drawing of prizes will take pia,* within a month of
this date. The work for 1862, that will bo given to each
subscriber, will be an edition of the works of Shakspeare.

John Lowther and NVm. Pugh, a " hugger." or carrier of

A deosstly dressed woman applied to Mr. Norios for
advics under these circumstances :—flhe said that about
sues years ago she was married to a person who she believed
was rupee:table, but who tuned wet to be a notorious burglar.
Elis years ago he dimappeared, sad eke had heard nothing of
him till the previous deer. when she happened to meet him
in the street. He gave no reason for leaving her, and no
account of what he had bets doing, but he wanted applicant
to go and live with him, and threAtened in the mat violent
language to cut her threat if she did not. This was very
awkward, for she was upon the point of being married to
some one else, and she wanted advice as to what she
could do.

Mr. Norton told her it was lucky ship bad not married
again while her husband was alive. He would grant a sum-
moos against her husband for the threats he Lad made
