TilE PAST RACING OF THE WEEK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE.
'lR:—Tlie miming of the last three cr four days has
acme peculiarities attached to it which require notice,
more er less affecting what is yet to come.
The Taunton Stakes at Taunton on Monday were
coeclusion, it was thought, for Madame
tiv!tWharton or Sleeping Partner ; consequence was
,a4t Air. G. Drew 's Odtham was the only one sent to
laecnettb,,i,3 couple, the test being frightened away. He
a purpo,;e, for, after a good. race, he won very
of 'er'Y iiii,)tber specimen of the glorious uncertainty
tart cart lutieN.
kr the racing at Radcliffe the running of Exact is a
!kinlinent feature; on the first day winning the Two
__()tlEras,olldo Sugtahkes easily by two lengths, beating, among
eld not live thu)en—the horse of dubious pedigrce—w
Purse ai pace. Yesterday she won
ftrhoemßAu Bury
fllittle , most as easily as the preceding race,
ti:;:nly difference being that the race was drawn
a netak,Monday Little Davie wins the Wilton Cup by
the beating, among others, Lerrywhent. Yesterday
"st-named animal wins the ;Manchester.
fo;verlY, beating Mary Nobbler (who beat him in the
thnler race) ea(ily; Mary Nobbler running sr d
flat Wilton and third in the Manchester Cup. This.
thiurnalf of Osborne's (Little Davie) will be a very useful
hia .g or ,cuie of the small autumnal handicaps; but as
bet race for the Wilton Cup, when there was only a neckn
theween him and Mary Nobbler, and the same betwee
Vie Little 8 6at, it is evident that Lerrywhent is three or
" Pounds better than Little Davie.
Baedhlusc races seem to have been the order of the day at
e;"ff,, Lough Bawn having had great difficulty in
11,-1:dillIg the Stewards' Cup from Barbata, and only by a
th4Rtiduhon. previous to his defeat by Exact, had won
by ta:°rl Park Stakes with the most luxurious ease

ROYAL IRISH AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION

IN KILLARNEY.

We have often referred with admiration to the perse•
vering and successful exertions of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society, and of the R >yal Dublin Society also,
during all the distress and difficulties of the past eight
years. Their annual exhibitions—latterly fully equal
to any similar displays in England or Scotland—have
given a decided impulse to agricultural enterprise. The
recent exhibition in Galway, under the auspices of the
former society, afforded most gratifyicg evidence of
steady improvement in Connaught, which had been
not very long since in a state of utter prostration.
We are happy in being enabled to announce that the
next annual exhibition of the Agricultural Society
will take place in Killarney. and that we can con-
gratulate cur friends in Kerry and the adjoining
counties upon an arrangement calculated to confer so
much advantage upon that part of the country. The
necessary preliminary steps fur effecting that object were
taken, before the close of the Galway Exhibition, by
Mr. Pierse Mahuny, with the earnest co-operation of
that sterling friend of Ireland, Mr. William Dugan, who
has generously volunteered to give the necessary indem-
nity to the society, on his own account for 5001. But we
are confident that the gentlemen of Kerry will gratefully
and thankfully decline his offer, which, however, has se-
cured the holding of the Cattle Show for 1853 in Kil-
larney. We have learned that Mr. St. John Jeffreys,
of Blarney Castle, although he has not an acre in Kerry,
has joined Mahony in tendering his subscription to-
wards the indemnity fund of 5001.1 n short, the matter
is settled, and it only now remains to adopt all needful
measures for rendering it completely successful. We
have some reason to believe that the Queen and Royal
Family contemplate a visit to this city during the Great
Exhibition of 1853, which owes its origin to the public
spirit and munificent enterprise of Mr. Dargan.
From the Irish capital her Majesty and her illustrious
consort might proceed, by the railway constructed by
him, to visit the far-famed scenery of Killarney, at the
opportune period of the Cattle Show. This would in-
deed be a royal progress, the very anticipation of which

Irish
and danecvloEterdigsliusbhjeYeatschint
contribute to the usefulness and glory of the event by
having their Regattas for 1853 at Bantry P
—Ay and at the
Kenmore River. This is a subject in which our hopes
and feelings are deeply engaged; and, because we see the
prospect of great advantages for the country, we ear-
nestly urge the necessity and duty of prompt and cordial
co-operation, on the part of all who have the means of
promoting the grand object we seek to accomplish.
When our gracious Sovereign paid her first visit to
Ireland, the country was but struggling out of the diffi-
culties of a terrible famine. That period of disaster has
passed away ; and with the brighter prospects that now
open upon us, we would hail with joy the second advent
of our beloved Queen, to receive renewed pledges
of affectionate loyalty from her Irish subjects.—Dublin

:SI IRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TiTIS DAY.
TIMF,S —ln oue of the Western States of,Ame-
rice, before civilization bed entirely conquered nature,
coneiderable annoyance wes experienced from the
multitude and ferocity of the indigenous bears, and
to such a pitch did the evil arise that it was taken
under the immediate cognizance of the local Govern-
ment. With the view of accelerating the extinction
of this troublesome tribe, these authorities recurred
to the ingenious and highly popular machinery of
" bounties"—that i 3 to say, they promised to pay from
the common treasury a certain sum for every bear's
head that was produced. To be sure, it was already
the interest of every man to lend his best aid to the
extirpation of a plague from which he, es well as all
the rest, was suffering; and, if the work properly
pertained to the people, it could hardly be requisite to
pay the people for doing it. However, the terms
were published, and the coffers of the State were
pledged to a fixed premium upon slaughtered bears.
The new pursuit thus opened was followed with ala-
crity by a good many woodsmen, but to none did it
appear so profitable as to a certain citizen, highly dis-
tinguished for his intelligence, but not hitherto re-
markable for excellence in sportsmanship. At last
the steady and increasing supply of bears' heads
from this quarter attracted some close inquiry, when
it was discovered that the producer had been privately
breeding the animals to a very large extent. The
" bounty" awarded by the State was sufficient to
render bears a profitable agricultural stock, and was
accordingly made instrumental in perpetuating the
identical race it was designed to extinguish. On the
practice being denounced as unlawful, and the pre-
miums being withdrawn from this home manufacture,
it is said, at once turned his whole the proprietor,
stock into the woods, and thus supplied the neighbour-
hood with rather more bears, upon the whole, than
they bad enjoyed before the first experiment of
" bounties." Whether this story is either very true
or only very well imagined we are not much con-
cerned to decide, but if any reader is inclined to dis-
miss the former supposition as intrinsically unlikely,
we can help him to a fact of the present day which is
v cry little behind the American anecdote. The
French Government pays a " bounty" upon the cap-
ture of herrings, not, indeed, with a desire to sweep
the sea of these savoury little creatures, but with
the " higher aim," as it is termed, of fostering a
hardy school of mariners. It appears that these
prize scholars repair to the British shores to fish
but, as the work comes by no means so naturally to
them as it does to us, they are in the habit of pur-
chasing herrings from our Scarborough and Yar-
mouth sailors, and presenting them for payment as
their own proper and original produce. So noto-
rious has the practice become, that overseers are now
appointed to secure the Government in fair play ; and
at this very moment a fine French steamer of war,
with a couple of tenders, is stationed off Shields—not
to protect, as Mr. Webster would express it, " the
hook and line, bob and sinker" of these honest fisher-
men, but to keep a watch over their doings, and see
that they perform the part for which they are paid.
On the whole bargain, therefore, the French Govern-
ment first pays a gratuitous " bounty" on the take of
fish, which are not taken by the alleged takers; next,
provides an encouragement extraordinary for the very
rivals which it is aiming to surpass; and, finally, in
order to stop the cheat, is obliged to find men-of-war
to prevent its own traders from defrauding its own
exchequer. A more delightful illustration of Pro-
tection it would be hard to find. This is
the species of favour for which our North Ame-
rican colonies have recently been petitioning.
It is said that their fishermen ought to have " boun-
ties ;" that is to say, that, over and above the natural
inducements to take fish for sale, there should be a
special premium on every cod's head and shoulders,
payable by the State. Nothing less, it is declared,
will put the colonists on a level with the Americans,
and maintain that " hardy school of mariners" to
which we must resort in the contingency of war.
Now, it should he understood—if, indeed, there can
be any misconceptions after the fate discussion of the
subject—that the fisheries lie off our own coasts, and
not off the coasts of our neighbours ; that three miles'
space, measured from the shore, is secured to us ab •
solutely : and that to the more distant grounds of the
north we are many leagues nearer than the Ameri-
cans. The consequence of these advantages is that
our fishermen can employ a smaller class of vessels
than their rivals, and thereby start with a less expen-
sive outfit. The best fishing grounds lie at their
very doors, and they can use light manageable
nets with great effect. It was urged, too, by Mr.
Everett, in his note to Lord Aberdeen, that all the
rough materials of the trade—such as timber
and iron, canvass and cordage, hooks and lines—were
cheaper in the colonies than the-States, and that the
former were notoriously favoured in all facilities
for salting and curing. It was in consideration, in-
deed, of the superiority thus enjoyed by the colonists
that the protective duties of the States were instituted
—an arrangement by which the Americans are sad-
dled with a halfpenny a pound on all the fish they
consume for the satisfaction of going out to fetch it
themselves instead of having it brought to their doors.
Now, with the view of the Unitedtntes Gorcrnmont
in this respect we will not at present concern our-
selves. They have made it a duty not only to purvey
fish, but to create fishermen, and fishermen have been
forthcoming. On the other hand our colonies, it is said,
are being fast excluded from their natural avocations
under the operations of the system thus artificially
maintained, and it is proposed accordingly to set them
on their feet again by taking a leaf out of the Ameri-
can book, and protecting our seamen as well as theirs.
But, we ask, where is this competition to stop? We
may describe the whole rivalry as a race for the
working of the fisheries. The fish require men to
take them, and there is a struggle between two States
which shall supply these men. The British colonies
have the precedence of natural superiority, which the
Americans encounter by artificial encouragements
on the other side. These encouragements it is
proposed again to counterbalance by colonial
their own protection or retire from
t alternative, so that the only discernible result

They which event the Americans must

in y
are not very likely to adopt the lat-
teris a race of folly which would end in making a
dish of salt fish about as costly as haunch of New
Forest venison—a joint estimated, we believe, all
forest charges included, at the value of 130 guineas,
or thereabouts. But the experience of commerce is
now sufficient to prove that these artificial arrange-
ments are never desirable. If our colonies, with all
their inalienable advantages of situation and produce,
cannot find encouragement enough in the ordinary
way of trade to practise fishing, the conclusion is, not
that fishing should be made still more attractive by
pecuniary bounties, but that some other calling must
supersede it. We need hardly say, however, that
such an event is utterly improbable. No doubt the
colonists would be glad of a bounty, but they are
not likely to fail for want of it. The Yarmouth
boatmen would still be the best herring fishers, even
if Holland or Denmark
gave a premium of a shilling
on every fish.
HERALD.—" There is no doubt," says the Times
of yesterday, " that the correct principle of taxation
is, that every one should contribute to the yearly ex-
penditure of the country in a fixed proportion to the
amount of property in his possession during that
year ;" and he informs us that he is supported in this
opinion by Mr. Farr, in his evidence before the Select
Committee of the House of Commons. We take
leave to differ from these high authorities, and shall
briefly state our reasons for so doing. A mart may,
possess property in land, houses, shipping, or rail-
ways, and yet the produce of such property forms
the incomes of many individuals besides himself; and,
therefore, to tax him because he is the possessor, and
allow all these others to escape taxation, would simply
be a gross injustice. " Let the tax, ' says our contem-
porary, " he levied on the value: of the property, no
matter what they may be, the land in fee, a post in
Somerset House, the Treasury, skill in healing human
disorders, or in playing on the fiddle." We ask what
is the property " in possession" of the man whose income
is derived from " playing on the fiddle," or from his
" skill in healing human disorders?" What is the pro-
perty "in possession" of a man with an income of
1,0001. a year in Consols ? and what the property in
possession" of another who "has the reversion:of rents
of 1,0001. a year after the death of another party?"
Again, how are we to ascertain the "capitalised value
of industrial incomes, called inherent property," when
these incomes may become doubled in real value,
although their nominal amount in pounds sterling re-
mains the same ? How repeatedly have we been told
possessed e
purchasing power now to vehat

by the Times that the pound
_sterliitng has double th

on
such subjects, the
years ago? And another alleged High
Economist,autnority

some short time back that an income of 8001. a year
now was equal to more than 1000/. a year in 1820 •

and in this we perfectly agree. Icompel, theere labouring g

accordingly,
would there not be good reason to com-
plain of injustice and fraud, greater even
than can befal any class under the existing
system, bad as it may be ? The really true and
equitable principle of taxation is, that every member
of a community should contribute to the public ex-
penditure of the country in proportion to the amount
of national produce or income annually received by
bum. The Times has altogether failed to fathom the
depths of this most important subject, and to enable
us to reach the bottom we must first ascertain the
source of all incomes;
and if we admit this to be the
soil of this country and its dependencies,and the in-
