The Opinione of Turin quotes a letter from Rome,
mentioning a rumour that General GEMEAU was
about to quit the French service, and enter that of
the POPE as Commander-in-Chief of the Papal army.
The reasons adduced in support of this rumour are,
Ist, his well-known attachment to the POPE, and,
2dly, his advanced age. As generals of division are
pensioned off at the age of 64, General GEMEAU, who
is still strong and healthy, might, by changing mas-
ters, avoid that fate ; while the Pork: would be glad
to have such an experienced officer for his army. It
is added, however, that Austria is opposed to such a
course. _ _

The POPE held a secret Consistory, on the 27th, at
the Palace of the Vatican. After his allocution his
HOLINESS conferred on Cardinal Louca AMAT, Bishop
of Palestrina, the offices of Vice-Chancellor of the
Holy Roman Church, and of Semmiste of the Apos-
tolical letters, and assigned him the Commendam of
S. Lorenzo-in-Domazo.

The Oaservatore Triestino recounts the following
awful tragedy which occurred at Colomea, on the
231 ult., when, it being the day of Expiation, and
the Jewish community being assembled in the Syna-
gogue, a sudden cry of " fire" was heard, and caused
a universal rush to the doors, particularly in the
upper gallery, reserved for the ladies, where the fire
was said to have broken out. Here the crowd was
so dense, that thirty• three ladies, a boy of eight years
old, and two little girls, of from three to four years
of age, were suffocated. Physicianq, functionaries,
and gendarmes, were soon on the spot, but too late to
give effectual succour. The cry of fire turned out to
be a false alarm.

The King of the Two SICILIEB, by a recent de-
cree, removes the prohibition to import foreign horses
into the kingdom, and allows all such horses to be
imported, with the exception of a peculiar sort from
Dalmatia. The decree fixes the duties which are to
be paid on importation.
The Opinione of Turin of the sth gives the fol-
lowing from Asti :—A house in the quarter of San
Giuseppe, at present inhabited by a few veteran
officers and a vivandiere, had an open communication
with the adjoining convent of Theresians. A few
days agog at a very early hour, one of the officers
saw two friars retire into the convent through the
said communication ; and the direction whence they
came forcibly reminded the observer of the fact that
the fair Divandisire had her apartment exactly on
that side. The matter being reported to the Colonel
of the corps, the latter ordered the communication to
be walled up. But while the masons were at work,
a whole bevy of friars came swarming about them,
and expostulated so strongly with them on what
they were about, that the workmen desisted and went
away, whereupon the friars pulled down what they
had been building. The Colonel, however, watched
his time, and got the door walled up while the
friars were out walking, and thus put an end to all
discussion.

ACCIDENT TO A STEAMER AT LIVERPOOL..--Yes-
terday morning, the Bangor steam-boat Prince of Wales was
lying at anchor in the Mersey, when she was struck by a
heavy swell, which forced her into collision with another
vessel, lying at anchor. The concussion was so violent that
the funnel of the Prince of Wales was cut clean away by the
boards, and it was found necessary to tow her immediately
into dock. No personal injury was sustained.

A GOOD DAY'S SPORT.—On Monday, at eleven in
the morning, the Earl of Strathmore and party, consisting
of six guns, repaired to his Lordship's extensive and well-
stocked rabbit-warren, in the immediate vicinity of Glam-

killed 227 rabbits, 20 hares, 8 partridges, and 1 woodcock.
YACHT MATCH —A sailing match comes off this
day (Saturday) at Portsmouth, between the celebrated
America and a new yacht built in Sweden, named the
Sverige. The latter vessel is of abeautiful build, very much
resembling the America, but possessing more power. The
last few days she has been on White's slip at Portsmouth,
having a new keel put on, and her bottom cleaned.
The match, which excites the greatest interest at Ports-
mouth, is for 400/. The challenge was offered by the
Swede.

TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.-O❑ Tuesday afternoon
a meeting was held in the Court-house, Leeds, to form a
society for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge. A letter
was read from Mr. Baines, expressing his adhesion to the
movement, and a committee was formed, with power to add
to their number. On Tuesday evening a public meeting was
held at the Mechanics' Institution, Wakefield, to hear a lec-
ture on the taxes on knowledge. After the lecture a
committee was appointed to conduct the agitation of the
question.

Lord and Lady Blantyre passed through Inver-
ness on Tues,iay, en route h 63 from Dunrobin

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

ABERDEEN, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Prince Albert has just arrived, bringing no
accounts of Sir Joh❑ Franklin. She wintered in
Baffin's Bay, searched Prince Regent's Inlet, disco-
vered a channel on the west of North Somerset,
traversed it with sledges, and round by Port Leo-
pold, but found no traces of the missing expedition.
The Prince Albert got as far north as Beechy
Head.

On the 19th of August last she fell in with the
North Star. The expeditions had passed up Wel-
lington Channel early in the season. The channel
was open, and quite free from ice.

The Prince Albert left the ice on the 23d of Au-
gust, and brings dispatches from the North Star.
The officers and crew were all well.

The Davis' Straits fishery wa3 a failure. Up to
August only six fish had been taken between all the
ship. The Regalia, of Kirkcaldy, had been lost ;
also an American whaler.

The following are fuller particulars of this expe-
dition :

The Prince Albert left Aberdeen on the 221 of
May last year, the search being under the direction of
William Kennedy, Esq., who had long been connected
with the Hudson Bay Company. The main object
of the expedition was to get if possible on the track
of Sir John Franklin, assuming that he had fol-
lowed out his instructions to seek a passage going
south-west by Cape Walker. The Prince Albert
made the ice on the 22d of June, and crossed to
the west side in 72.30 north latitude ; got to
Ponds Bay on the 24th of August, and there saw
four natives, but found that they had heard nothing of
Sir John Franklin. They then proceeded up Lan-
caster Sound, where they encountered heavy gales of
east wind, and by the time they reached Barrow
Straits, on September 4, the ice had barred the pas-
sage. They then made for Port Leopold for shelter,
and here Mr. Kennedy landed in a boat with six men,
and was proceeding to make inquiries, when a
barrier of ice got between the ship and the
land, and the weather being still bad, with a strong
current, the vessel was carried up Prince Regent's
Inlet as far as Batty Bay, leaving Mr. Kennedy and
his boat's crew on shore. Unable to return
to Port Leopold, Captain Leask tried to reach Fury
Point, but did not succeed, and getting into Batty
Bay came to anchor there, where M. Bellot, the
French gentleman who accompanied Mr. Ken-
nedy, left the ship with four men for Port Leopold
on the 17th of October. Here Mr. Kennedy and
his men had remained in a state of great anxiety for
six weeks, but getting at the provisions which were
left by Sir John Ross they enjoyed excellent
health. Returning with M. Ballot to Batty Bay the
ship was housed for the winter, and preparations
made for searching during the time she would be
fast. They started with sledges on the 24th of
February, with a party of 14 men, stopped a short
time at Fury Point, then crossed Melville Bay, got as
far west as Brentford Bay, and here discovered a
channel, about two miles broad, leading westward,
and opening up a bay by the northern coast of
North Somerset. A fatigue party of six men pushed
up this new channel, walking and sledging it, in
72 deg. north latitude and 100 deg. west longitude,
while eight men returned to the ship from Brentford
Bay. Mr. Kennedy and M. Bellot were of the
advanced party, traversing the north coast of
Somerset, round by Port Leopold, and arriving
at the ship on the 30th of May. This wa
a most difficult and trying journey, the
weather being thick and stormy. The di-
rect distance from the ship to this channel would
be 600 miles; the distance traversed was fully 1,200
miles. But in all this search, which included also a
search of Cape Walker, no new traces were found of
Sir John Franklin. During the time that Mr. Ken-
nedy was out, Dr. Cowie, with a party of four men,
crossed Cresswell Bay to the water on the west side of
North Somerset, but was alike unsuccessful.

Scurvy now unfortunately appeared among the
men, and they had a sickly time of it from May to
July, but a party getting down then to Port Leo.
pold, Mr. Kennedy was able to procure anti-scor-
butic medicines and food, and the crew then gradually
got better.
On the 6th of August last summer they got out of
Batty Bay, and proceeded northward, intending to
go to Griffith's Island. They reached Beechy Is-
land on the 19th of August, and falling in with the
North Star, stationed with provisions for the use of
the Franklin Expedition, and learning that the
other vessels had passed up Wellington Channel,
Mr. Kennedy deemed it useless to proceed further
north and concluded to return home. At the time
he left Beechy Island, Wellington Channel was
open and free from ice as far as the telescope
could command a view, and it is the opinion of Mr.
Kennedy, as well as of the officers of the North
Star, that from the remarkable openness of the season,
the searching squadron would occupy a more ad-
vanced position than any of the previous expeditions
could reach. Describing the state of this channel to
Captain Penny, who is at present in Aberdeen, that
gentleman expressed his firm conviction that if the
steamers are pushed forward with energy they might
get through at Behring's Straits.
The crew of the Prince Albert are all in good
health and spirits. Mr. Kennedy has brought
dispatches for the Admiralty from the North Star, and
proceeds with them to-morrow morning by first train
for London. The expedition it will be remembered
was fitted out entirely at the expense of Lady Frank-
lin, and, although it has not been successful in the
main object of its search, the discovery of this new
channel and the search of Prince Regent's Inlet and
North Somerset will tend to concentrate efforts now
entirely on Wellington Channel as. the only hope of
discovering Sir John Franklin.

DAVIS'S STRAITS FISHERY.

The accounts brought by the Prince Albert are of
a very discouraging character. The Regalia, of
Kirkcaldy, and the American ship M'Leland were
wrecked ; crews saved. The True Love, of Hull,
had three fish ; the Ann, of Hull, two. The ships
did not get to the westward, and were fishing in
Cumberland Straits.

_
A heavy snow storm has fallen in the north of
Scotland. On Thursday the mountains on Dee-side
were covered with snow, and winter appeared to have
set in thus early.
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

The following information has been received at
Lloyd's :
" Aberdeen, Oct. 7.

" The Prince Albert, Kennedy, arrived here to-
day from the Arctic Regions, has heard nothing of
Sir John Franklin. She spoke the North Star
steamer in Erebus Bay sth Sept. The Prince Al-
bert had been beset i❑ Batty Bey eleven months pre-
vious to 6th August. Her crew are all on board,
but some are in a weakly state. She has brought a
report of the whalers early in the season. The
fishing appears to have been unfavourable up to Ist
July. The Regalia, of Kirkcaldy, and M'Lellan
(American) are said to have been lost."

STAMPS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—The Lord
Chancellor is empowered by the 15th and 16th of Victoria,
c. 87, to order fees not to be received in money, but by
means of stamps. The Commissioners of Inland Revenue
are to provide stamps, and, after order made, no document
is to be received or used in the Court of Chancery unless
stamped.
SOJOURN OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT AT DON-
CASTER.—We understand that her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, mother of her Gracious Majesty the
Queen, will arrive in Doncaster from Balmoral
Iby the ex-
press train at 5.10 P.M. on Wednesday, the 3th
from whence she will proceed to the house of Mr. Pye, Royal
Hotel, where she will sojourn for the night. Her Royal
Highness will be accompanied by her daughter, the Princess
Hohenlohe (by her first husband, the Prince of Leiningen),
Princess Ada, Princess Feedore, Prince Heiman, Lady
Augusta Bruce, Colonel Sir George Couper, Miss Jung,
governess of the young Princess, and her usual retinue. On
Thurs..ay, the august visitors will take their departure by
the 11.20 A.M. train. Sir George Couper, comptroller of the
household and chief equerry, arrived in Doncaster by the
express train, on W ednesday, in order to make arrangements
with Mr. Pye for the reception of the illustrious party. It is
almost unnecessary to ssy that there will be no demonstra-
tion of a public character.—Doncaster Chronicle.
THE PLANET OF AUGUST 22, 1851.—Mr. Hnd,
the discoverer of this planet, has given it tk, name of
FOLD,

THE INCOME TAX.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—One of your carresp.mderi;s, " it. C.," 1:e.
correctly asserted some time back that the `6actuarl6
and the " economists" are at issue on fundament'
principles ; this is perfectly true, but it must aloe',
remembered, that while on the one hand all the 0`
tuaries agree amongst themselves as to princiPl
(differing, as might be expected, only in details)(
the other leend the econtanis•s severally propoll
schemes which are wholly at variance and antagoals
to each other.
One of these schemes may be considered as sire!
disposed of; in your leading article of to-day Y,`
have most ably discussed this much-vexed questle'
and have, is to he both hoped and believed, for et
set at rest Mr. Babbage's absurd proposition to It
equally the received incomes of each year, witlw
reference either to their source or to their duratioa.
Another fallacy, however, still more subtle
obscure, remains yet to be disposed of. I allude'
that propounded by Mr. Warburton in his evide
before the committee; and as Mr. Warburton's r
potation stands high as a first class University set
and as he, moreover, carries with him all the weiF
of an ex-M.P., I will venture, with your perrnisei6
very briefly to recapitulate his views and to exP
their utter absurdity. It is quite true that Mr.W" ,
burton has been already replied to by some of
actuaries who were examined, but as their letter,
Mr. Hume was necessarily very technical, I imse
that your non-mathematical readers will be beta
pleased to have the subject discussed in some '6
learned form.
Mr. Warburton's reasoning, stripped of atl i
pl
technicalities, would seem to amount to this—if
1.
income-tax be i
intended as a temporary impost mete
the present mode of levying it is unsound and uaill;
but if it be placed as a permanent burden on
country, it is in such case both fair and just to tail
an equal rate a temporary and a perpetual incaol
and, he would seem to argue, for this reasonr',
proprietor of a perpetual income will pay a perpet",
tax, while the proprietor of a temporary income 11,
pay only a temporary tax, and thus they will 10;
contribute equally to the necessities of the counts,
This is plausible enough ; and will, I doubt P;,
pass current with many people, but it is uar°:
tunately also untrue. The confusion in the minds,
Mr. Warburton and his followers would seem
have arisen from the use, or rather, I should i
from the abuse, of the word " income." It mai.
received as an axiom, that real income is a profit P'`
duced by, and not out of, capital apparent inell
on the other hand, is partly made up of real
el:
come, and partly made up of capital, each pay1:13,,,
contains within itself a payment of interest or J;
income, and a repayment of a portion of the caillt:
which produces it. It is obvious that land will I),
duce rent for ever, without diminishing the valae;
the estate ; therefore such rent is real income. .A.1°13
in the funds will produce interest for ever witbo
diminishing or exhausting the capital which prod
it; therefore interest is real income. But a tee'l)c
rary profit, whether it take the shape of an enact,
certain for a term of years or of any other form, i 5
real income, as each payment is made up partly of to
income and partly of a return of capital, so that
real capital, which at the outset of the term rePO
seated the value of the apparent income, Bt',
dually disappears year by year from the original
vestment, and, as it were, as gradually re-aPPe
year by year in some other and new investo3e v
Now, when Mr, Warburton compares a perpetual
come with one, say, for ten years only, he argues to
because the temporary profit is only taxed ten tai,
while the perpetual profit is taxed a perpetuity of tae;
you are treating their proprietors with evenhav
justice ; he forgets, however, that you are not °;
taxing the ten temporary real inccomes, but t.
you are, at the same time, taxing the capital dutlio;
the process of its reproduction, which capital iscei
be again taxed in perpetuity when reprodU,o
If, indeed, this unfortunate capital (which
to
been thus taxed in full, while its more fortatloil
brother, which took a perpetual form, has been avb i;!
untouched) could be rendered for the future wh°ol
exempt from taxation, there would then be ecl4i
justice in the reasoning Mr. Warburton has
down ; but as, in truth, this forms no portion 0
scheme, and would be impracticable if it dik Iv
reasoning which seemed so impregnable, and on WPict
oi,
so much stress has been laid, and which so gladde„s,
the hearts of the opponents to an adjusted income'
must, I fear, be pronounced unsound.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient sergli°l

ANOTHER BETTING-LIST TRAGEDY.-.—OH
day night Mr. Brett held an inquest at the Twyford
Bemmerton-street, Islington, on the body of C. Cooke, 3e'e
z 5, who was most respectably connected. It appeared t
deceased, who had lately arrived from Plymouth, where Ii)
family resided, supported a highly excellent character tl'og
within the past few months, when he commenced visitive
betting-houses, where he lost several wagers, which dr° 0
him to drink. On Sunday night he retired to his bed '4lO
very low, dejected state. Not making his appearence
usual hour the following morning, his bed-room door_irlif
burst open, when he was found a lifeless corpse in bed. Neer
him was a recently emptied laudanum bottle, also a let
directed to his father, in which he confesssed that he recetLite
led a wild life, betted largely, and drank heavily. 11° 105
ther said that he resolved upon suicide in order not to bet/
disgrace upon his family, and thus concluded the epist,eo
" Here goes in half a minute!" It was proved that dello
was produced by laudanum, and the jury returned all ('p to
verdict, stating that there was no evidence to prove the 5t
of his mind when he destroyed himself.
