The whole of the front page, and a part of the
second, of the Constitutionnel are taken up with an-
other article of M. Veron on the finances. This
gentleman has undertaken to show, in a series of ar-
tieles, how the Government may improve the
revenue without imposing a single new tax.
He recommends a more rigid application of the
existing laws of taxation with a greater degree
of equity to all parties, and in the present ar-
ticle attempts to prove that the proceeds from
the stamp tax imposed on printed bills, and circulars
would yield a much larger sum than it does now, if
the Government would keep a sharper eye upon in-
fractions, and propose new legislation for the correc-
tion of abuses. These two branches of taxation, how-
ever, if the proceeds were doubled, would not give
a very large amount to the revenue, for the stamp-
tax on printed bills yields, for the whole of
France, only 700,000 f. per annum, and yet it is a
tax which, even in its present state, gives great dissa-
tisfaction. It is difficult to conceive how M. Vtron
could make it more productive, without at the same
time rendering it more obnoxious. The article con-
cludes with a notice of a rumour that it bas been
proposed to levy a tax on the advertisements in jour-
nals. 111. Veron expresses a hope that this idea will
be abandoned, if it has ever been entertained by the
Government. It wouln, he says, be ruinous to the
newspapers, which are already heavily taxed, and
would at the same time be very injurious to the in-
terests of commerce.
Some gentlemen who are taking the waters at
Bagueres went a few days ago (says the Moniteur)
to make an excursion amongst the mountains.
Having ascended some height the guide separated
some distance from them, and to his surprise disco.
vered the dead body of a man, partially covered with
snow. He communicated theo
tdhisecospveort,y
ntoottwhietmh..,
and they insisted on going
Otanding, from the i
state of t
the snow and the ab-
ruptness of the precipice, it was dangerous so to do.
To their horror, they notonly found the body seen
but removing snow discovered
nine on the d'scovered
nine other bodies. All the deceased were covered
with bruises and cuts, and had near them sticks like
those used in mountainous ascents. It was evident
that they had fallen from some height, and rolled
from rock to rock. They were all about thirty ars
of age. They were conveyed to the bottom of the
mountain and buried.

PRUSSIA AND POLAND.
The cholera, accompanied by typhus fever, is pre-
valent in several places in Upper Silesia. The last
account states that within eight days, in the town of
Lsndsburg, out of a population of 800 there have
been 60 deaths, while PO were then suffering from
the disease. In the neighbouring village of Krzisan- ,
zowitz, out of a population of 300 there had been
from the appearance of the disease from six to ten
deaths daily. In both places many houses are empty,
the inhabitants having fled. The number of fatal
cases is increased by the insufficiency of medical aid
and the extreme poverty of the people of the district,
of which the description, by a local authority, is ap•
palling. It says—
Tee destitution of the people in the present year
has been increased by the unfavourable harvest of last
autumn. Many have been starved, notwithstanding the
increased contributions for their aid and a general re-
course to mendicancy. Even in the spring of the pre-
sent year the people were compelled to resort to food
unfit for cattle. The frozen and half-rotten potatoes
lett in the field were gathered, dried and eaten, or boiled
with the gram-like shoots of green vegetables into a
filthy breath; the rainy winter bad even at that time
produced a great amount of disease."
In the report, the number of deaths from typhus
is not distinguished frcm those by cholera. The
district is on the Polish frontier, within which the
claol'ora is also spreading, but no official reports of
the number of cases or their proportion to the popu-
lation has been made. In Warsaw the police autho-
rities publish the returns, of which the last are to the
11th and 12th August; on th 6 first date 479 persons
had been attacked, of whom 175 had died and 199
had recovered. There remained 1,279 in the hospi-
tals under treatment. On the 12th the number
attacked was 48.5, deaths 170, recovered 245 ; under
treatment 1,319. A committee had been formed
to relieve the miserably destitute part of the popula-
tion as far as possible ; it distributes every morn-
ing 2,470 portions of tea, with bread, and an equal
number of more solid food at noon. The Jewish
Congregation also distributes every morning 9,000
portions of tea, without any regard to distinction of
creed, and 600 meals at noon to the destitute of their
own faith. The progress of the disease in the eastern
province of Prussia is watched naturally with con-
siderable anxiety, but it is hoped that so much of the
mortality that can be directly, attributed to low and
bad diet, or positive want of food, will be checked as
soon as the present abundant harvest can be drawn on
for suppl ies.
