THE INCOME TAx.-A very strong feeling of dissatis-
faction is becoming prevalent amongst the numerous
class of persons in receipt of only 1001. per year, whose
incomes have been trenched upon to the extent of 3 per
cent, income tax by the budget of Mr: Gladstone.
When the proposition was made, it was not oppos-
ed by the class referred to, in consequence of the
inducements held out that all the necessaries of

life would be so reduced by the ameliorations in
the commercial tariff, as to be more than com-
mensurate with the tax imposed. But now that every
staple article of subsistence has so much advanced—as
to make what last year 801. would purchase, which now
upwards of 1001. is inadequate to do-7.a feeling of dis-

content is showing itself, and which is likely tole more
strongly developed as the winter advances, and the
collection is enforced.

DEATH FROM CHOLERA IN MILLBANK PRISON,

Tuesday Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held
an inquest in Millbank Prison, on the body of a female
convict named Sarah Howard, aged 48. The deceased
was received in Millbank Prison, on the 24th November,
1851, under sentence of transportation for ten years.
Mr. John G. Paine, the resident surgeon of the prison,
deposed that he was called to attend the deceased on the
17th inst., when she complained of looseness of the
bowels. She was also seen by Dr. Baly, the superin-
tendent. On the 18th she was attacked with cramps
and vomiting, and from that time got rapidly worse, and
was by order of Dr. Baly removed into a room apart from
the other patients in the infirmary. She, however, gra-
dually sunk into a state of collapse cholera, and died on
Saturday last. It was a decided case of Asiatic cholera.
After some further evidence the jury returned a verdict
of " Died from Asiatic cholera."
A MAN KILLED BY A RAILWAY TRAlL—Yesterday
morning Mr. W. Payne received information of the
death of Henry Conybear, aged 30, who was employed
at Messrs. Myers' works, Crystal Palace, Sydenham.
The deceased was crossing the railway for the purpose
of returning to London, when he was knocked down
by one of the trains, and crushed to death almost in-
stantaneously. He was conveyed to the accident ward,
Guy's Hospital, but life was extinct.
AUDACITY OF PERSIAN THlEVES.—Accounts from the
camp of the Persian army state that the audacity of the
thieves shows that there exists no system of police what-
ever. The sword of the commander-in-chief had been
carried away from under his pillow. It was a present
from the Shah, and was richly mounted with diamonds.
One of the ministers had his inkstand, seals, and hand-
kerchief taken out of his hand while sleeping ; and an-
other chief, high in office, had the gold buttons of his
uniform cut off ; and the Prime Minister, who was dozing
in the afternoon in a chair in his tent, next to that of
the Shah, had his gold spectacles taken off his nose.
BALmoRAL.—The Queen's residence at Balmoral, con-
cerning which we are often asked, is making considerable
progress, and promises, without great pretensions, to be
a piece of solid and real construction. The south and

east sides have been roofed in, and will speedily be
made fit for occupation. The building is wholly faced
with dressed granite, the mouldings and ornamental
portions being carved on the spot. A correspondent
comments on the circumstance, that the Highlanders
seem to have a contempt for scaffolding, ropes,
or windlass. He says that every block of granite—
from 2to 3 feet long—is transported singly on a
Highlander's shoulders, up a narrow platform of boards
and tressels, to the place where it is to be set, and with
considerable celerity ; larger blocks are conveyed by
four Highlanders, on a couple of poles. Primitive, cer-
tainly. The castle will have two towers when completed.
Modern agremens will not be omitted ; two fountains are
in course of formation ; pipes, to carry water sixty feet
high, by means of a steam engine, are already fixed.
The Builder.
NEW YORK RAILWATS.—The New York Herald of
the 11th of October, received by the last steamer, con-
tains a paragraph to the effect that the General Railroad
Act of that State has been declared unconstitutional by
the Court of Appeals, and that the various acceptances
and bonds issued by some of the principal companies are
consequently to be regardedasbaseisdnoners
