present year is taken as a set-off to the expenditure of
the last and the beginning of the present century.
We quite agree that, to ho exact, the incomes in diffe-
rent prutcssiors should he vauid on diff2rent bases; but
we are quite satisfied with a rule which we can demon-

trate—brings us t;fice.•-as near perfect accuracy—as the
sp:teta now in operation, and has a solid intelligible
prieciple for the basis of its operations—in use by the
Government in the sale c f life annuities and the 'galas-
.

tion of legscies—in us by all insurance-offiees--in use
among thousands of friendly societies.
All who are in favour of free trade and the extension
of its principles are boun.d to support a system of direct
taxation. And the best support to give it is to make it
just—as fair and equitable as is practical. Every person
of common sense I meet knows perfectly well that the
income from trade is worth less than an equivalent in-
come from money or land; and feels that the man with
a life interest ought to be taxed loss.
I have the helium to be, Sir, yours, &c..

IRISH IMMIGRATION.

On Thursday —an inquest was held by. Mr. W.
Baker, at the Green Gate, City-road, on view of the
body of Patrick O'Hearn, 10 years old, who died on his
return with his mother to the parish of St. Luke, Old-
street, from Ireland, where they had been sent under an
order of removal. Sumo of the guardians end other
parochial officers were present. Patrick O'Hearn, of 9,
Elizabeth-court, Whitecross-street, said that the mother
of the deceased came to him about two o'clock that
morning. with deceased in her arms, and stated that
he had been dead some hours. She had an-
other child with her, five years old. She and
her husband were sent to Ireland by the parish
about a year ago. His brother had since died. Mary
Leary, about twenty years of age, said that she accom-
panied the mother of the deceased on her journey from
Ireland. They left Cork last Friday week in a sailing
vessel, and arrived at Newport, in Wales, on the follow-
ing Wednesday. The deceased was in good health
when he started, us was also the other child. They
walked the whole distance from Newport to London.
Witness carried deceased on her back nearly all the way,
and his mother carried the other child. On Tuesday de-
ceased was very sink, and had great looseness in his bowels.
The last day, Wednesday, they started at five o'cclock in
the morning and walked nearly forty miles. When
they arrived at Kensington they went into a chemist's
shop to get some medicine for deceased, when they were
told the child was too far gone, and that nothing could
be done for its relief ;
at Hyde-park-corner they found
deceased dead. Some ladies and gentlemen gave them
halfpence. On one night they slept in a union workhouse.
Every other night they slept in a barn or,stable. A young
girl who came with them was left at Maidenhead, as she
was exhausted, having been seized in the same way that
deceased was. Eleanor O'Hearn, deceased's mother,
stated that her husband died soon after her arrival in Ire-
lend, upon her removal by the parish officers of St.
Luke. She must have starved with her two chilAren,
at Cork, where she was not known. She left be-
cause she thought she could maintain her children
in London, when she spoke to the clergyman who
paid her pftss3ge to Newport. She cams to England at
the age of 13 yeara. She married when she was 17, and
she bad livid 27 years in the parish of St. Luke's, part
of which time she had paid rates, and her family are
buried there. Fourteen months ago her husband
was taken ill, when they all went into the workhouse.
They were soon after removed to Ireland. The Coroner
observed that no one could blame the clergyman for as-
sisting the mother of the deceased, nor could they blame
her for returning after having been 27 years in the
parish. Mr. John Courtensy, surgeon to the workhouse,
said that the child died from exhaustion, consequent on
the vomiting and purging, together with the absence of
proper food. Had the deceased received
proper atten-
tion it might have been then alive. Deceased was much
emaciated. Verdict—" That the deceased died: from
exhaustion, brought on by neglected diarrheee.

part of France towards England, hopeless and o (?n the

temporary stated the other day that the monument of
the Duke d'Enghien had, at midnight, by the hands of
soldiers, been removed from the ohapel Where
it was erected, for the purpose of effacing an
object which continually reminded men of a passage
in the life of the Emperor, better forgotten. And
in order to make the meaning of this charge quite
unequivocal, we would ask our readers, if they be in
doubt, to look again at our contemporary's article,
where they will find a menacing peroration to the effect
that there is no blotting out the remembrance of events
like this, and that the hearts of men were its monuments.
Now, what says our contemporary? It acknowledges
that the monument is still in the chapel, bat in another
part of the chapel. The fact is that the simple change
effected was purely and entirely an architectural arrange-
ment. And in this consisted the felon act, the base and
heartless vindictiveness towards the very ashes of the
dead, respecting which our contemporary can afford to
be so eloquent! We may spare our commentary. Mis-

defeat themselves.—Herald.

ALARMING EXPLOSION AND LOSS
OF LIFE.

Yesterday an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on
the body of Charles Noble Farebrother, aged thirty,
mathematical instrument maker, who lost his life by
an explosion on the premises of Mr. Darker, of No. 9,
Paradise-street Lambeth walk. Henry Sexton, of No.
10, John-street, Lambeth, a brass-finisher, stated that
ho had known the deceased about three years, and had
worked with him in the service of Mr. Darker.
On Thursday afternoon last, deceased had charge of
a wrought-iron boiler, which was intended for en
hydro-electric machine, ordered for the University
College, Cambridge, which they were fitting up ac-
cording to the original plan. The deceased was at the
foe go about three o'clock in the afternoon, and bad
charged the boiler (which was only nine inches in dia-
meter) with the usual quantity of water. for the pur-
pose of testing it, when witness said, " Charley, how is
the steam?" when the deceased replied, " Oh, just up."
Witness left the forge to go to the vice, when Mr. Darker
entered the shop, and in about a minute afterwards a
loud explosion took place. Witness ran towards the
forge, but the smoke and dust were so thick he could not
see them for a few minutes. The forge was blown down,
and a portion of the roof had been carried away. Wituees
heard the deceased calling for help, and exolaim " Drag
me out." Witness then discovered the deceased nearly
covered with bricks and rubbish, and with diffi-
culty got him out into the yard. He groaned, and
