RELIEF FROM INCOME TAX.

THE Board of Management of the Provident
Clerks' Association call the attention of the public to the 54th
section of this A et, which allows an abatement of the Tax in respect
of Premiums on Life Assurance, and in addition thereto this Asso•
dation offers the following important advantages :
All Policies may be made absolutely payable to the WIDOW,
WIDOWEIt, or CHILDREN of the Assured, by which the Expense
of LEGACY and PROBATE DUTY is SAVED, and the Assurance under
any circumstances SECURED to the person or persons for whom it was
effected.

The COST Of POLICY STAMPS is PAID by the AssocuatoN, so that
the Premium is the only charge to which Assurers are subjected.
NINE-TENTHS of the PROFITS are divided every five years amongst
the Assured of three years' standing, and the Association has already
appropriated upwards of 15,000/. in Reversionary l' onuses.
Loans are granted to the full extent of the value of the Policy.
All Policies flee indisputable, except in cases of absolute fraud.
Clerks Assuring with this Association have the option of being
Members of the Benevolent Fund, from which they may, in case of
need, derive very great advantages.
By order of the Board.

The shipping returns of the Board of Trade for the
month ending the sth of August continue to show a very

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The demand has not been quite so active for
British Plantation, and prices have scarcely been main-
tained at the previous range. Still holders have not gene-
rally pressed sales. Demarara at auction brought 34s to
40s for low to fine crystallised. East India.—Mauritius pri-
vately has not been much dealt in. The brown and common
sorts have been scarcely so high. Good and fine yellow
went at Us 6d to 375, low to mid at 33s to 355, and mid
to brown at 30s 6d to 33s by auction. Bengal publicly brought
38s to 39s for good and very good white Benares, and 34s
to 36s 6d for mid to good yellow. Penang realised 30s to 31s.
The grocery and white Bengal descriptions have been in re-
quest. Foreign.—There has been an inquiry for cargoes
afloat. At auction Cuba realised 31s 6d to 38s for
low brown to good yellow. Pernambuco sold publicly at
31s Gd to 33s for ord to good brown. Porto Rico realised
PlantationT he latest sales went
haveat 548 6d to 61s for fine
been
36s 6d to 41s for mid grey to fine bright grocery. Ha.
vannah partly sold at 34a to 36s 6d for mid brown to mid
yellow.
COFFEE.—The market has been very active, and again
at advancing prices. Native Ceylon has been sold at
47sord to 6 lowato
64s 6d for f fine ord, small to good mid bold colory up to
70s and 71s Gd for peaberry. Triage, 48s to 545. Mocha,
mid to good clean garbled, brought 66s 6d ; triage, 48s to
55s ; and black, 32s to 36s Gd. Foreign is wanted, and
is scarce. in strong SPlCES.—Pimento has been
demand
and
prices
have been hardening. White pepper has been firm, choice
has been sold at 2s 9d to 2s lid for ord pale, and Jamaica
ginger at 42s to 55s for ord to mid.
RreE.—There has been less doing. Moulmein 10,228
bags was taken in at high prices, mid to good Arracan kind
10s Gd to Us, Ben gal has been taken in at 14s.
COTTOL—There*has been rather a firmer market and
with more doing.
TEA.—This article has been flat, and has not improved
since the public sales.
SALTPETRE.—BengaI 5 per cent. refraction has been
taken at 28s.
TALLOW. P.Y.C. is firm at 52s on the spot.
GREEN FRIIIT.—A livelier character exists in the mar-
ket ; some parcels of Grapes, per "Tagus" steamer, sold
by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, realised prices pro-
portionate to quality. No improvement in the lemon
trade, the cold weather having checked the sale. Barcelona
nuts have advanced to 45s per bag, the new crop of which
will be short ; and the disease in Spanish and Lisbon
grapes is further confirmed by the last packet.

THE CHOLERA.—Between 20 and 30 cases of Asiatic
cholera have occurred in Newcastle and the immediate
neighbourhood within the last few days, all terminating
fatally. It appears to have broken out a place called
Bill Quay, on the south bank of the Tyne, towards
Shields, the first case reported being that of a woman
residing there, who was seized Oh Thursday, and died
the day following. Since then, five more cases have
occurred at Bill Quay. Diarrhoea is very prevalent in
this district.

PRUSSIA

---
The Spener Gazette has the following from
Hirschberg in Silesia, dated the Ist :—" This
morning the King consented to receive, at Ermans-
dorf, an address of devotedness from the Municipal
Council. After the address had been read, the
King said :
" Gentlemen, I had intended not to receive you
again. In 1846, I had consented only on the most
pressing prayers to pardon the town for its offences
towards me. I was, however, weak enough to do
so, and every one c.nows what requital I got in
1848. You who are here before me have not varied
in your sentiments of fidelity, but of the town in
general I can say with truth that I was deceived. That
is the reason why I had resolved not to be again so
weak. For several years the authorities have been ar-
denty soliciting me, but I have hitherto persisted in
my resolution. However, I consent now to act once
as if nothing had passed at Hirschberg, and I will once
more include it among the towns which are near my
heart. I admit that it is with little hope that I enter in
this
new phase, and I declare to you that it is the last
shall Look
not
again
occur therefore, ;
and
that
hope
thatwh what
you,has

THE BRICKLAYERS' STRIKE.--The men in the em-
ploy of Myers and Lucas are still on strike. On Wed-
nesday night au aggregate meeting of the trade was
held in the Druid-ball, Skinner-street, Snow-hill, at
which it was unanimously resolved to support all strikes
in the metropolis, until the advance of 6d. per day was
permanently recognised.
THE WIGAN COLLIERS.—Since Christmas it is said
that the colliers at Wigan have had three advances of
wages, equal to 15 per cent. each time, or 45 in the
aggregate. We now learn that they have made a further
demand for 15 per cent., making a total advance of 60,
and have given notice of a strike on the 14th inst. if the
demand be not complied with. The coal owners, the
largest of whom are the Bad of Balcarres and the Ince-
hall Company, are fettered a good deal by their contracts
in the large towns ; but we are told that two of the
largest consumers, the gas companies at Manchester and
Liverpool, have promised to aid them all in their power,
so that there is a disposition this time to resist the
demand. There was to be a meeting of masters yester-
day on the subject.

LAND TAX REDEMPTION ACT AMENDMENT.—An act
passed on the 20th ult. (16 and 17 Vict., cap. 117), re-
stricts the redemption and purchase of the land-tax in
Great Britain to persons having an estate, or interest in
the lauds whereon such tax is charged. The land tax
redeemed is to merge in the estate.

ITALY.

A. letter from Romeof the 29th ult., in the
Augsburg Gazette, says :—‘, The excursion of the
Pope to Castelgandolfo has been postponed. This
postponement is attributed to the arrests lately
made, particularly as several of the persons so ar-
rested are personally known to his Holiness. It is
said that the number of persons arrested amounts
to 200, several of them having been previously
under the surveillance of the police, as suspected of
to secret societies. It is said also that
was no intention to get up an insurrec-
tionthere
belonging
at present, but that the exiles who had lately
returned were merely preparing measures for the
future. One of them, named Catanacci, already
condemned to 25 years' imprisonment, was arrested
almost the moment he arrived ; and in order to
obtain the remission of his punishment, he de-
nounced his accomplices. In the palace of Poli a
clandestine press was found, and on adjoining pre.

law, and the stronger will enforce their own in-
terpretation of it. It is grossly inconsistent of
course with all that is noble, all that future
Americans will be proud of in their constitution.
Judges are unconsciously influenced by the tone
of public feeling in the country when they inter-
pret the laws, especially
where public feeling is
virtually law. No help can the fugitive WASH-
INGTONS expect from laws and constitutions.
Changes of commerce which shall /ender slaves
valueless, political movements of an entirely unfore-
seen character, the improving moral sense of the
community, the inevitable reaction, at some time,
of conscience against the most awful crime of
Christendom, and, as this Austrian affair suggests
to us, the closer contact of America with countries
where personal slavery is unknown—these are the
chief vistas of hope for the philanthropist, and the
chief chances for the oppressed slave.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE

Sole Lea Fee and Manager, Mr. Wi I ain Cooke.

Last Night of the present Season.
The increasing popularity of the National Spectacle of the Battle of
Waterloo, which has n,w complated its 75th night, has by far ex-
ceeded the most san mine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the puolic taste, has incr,ased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle by a Splendid 31ilitavy Brass nand. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for One Night nnre (when it
must be withdrawn to make rosin for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Dr,m i of Life on the Turf, which has
arrived at its 104th night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he ;s only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
flock to this poaular Establishment to witness their represent--
tion. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each week. The return of Miss
EMILY C001(1,1 from her Continental Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-
ance every evening. N.B. —Due Notice will be given of the
First Appearance ia London of Miss KATE C9Ol-CE. The long-
promised Classical Burlesque will be produced on SATURDAY,
the 10th inst.

THIS EVENING, SEPT. 9,
And during the week, excepting Saturday, will Le presented the
BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

LETTERS FOR AUSTRALIA.

Sir De L. EVANS wished to know if the Govern-
ment could supply the public with any information as to
the letters which had been received from the Australian
and forwarded on to their destination ? (Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. WILSON said, in reply to the gallant officer,
he had to state that the only letters which were da-
maged by being on board the Australian were in a bag
for Melbourne. The bag was brought back to London,
and after the letters had been sorted and dried they
were packed in boxes and sent on by the overland
mail. The directions of all the letters were made
out, with the exception of seventy, which were
so much damaged that their directions were quite
unintelligible, and they were, therefore, d.positsd
in the Dead Letter Office. (Hear.) Of these
seventy letters, twenty-two had been since returned, and
the remaining fifty were open to the inspection of those
persons who might be anxious to ascertain if they were
their own. (Hear, hear.)

ITALY.

Executions continue in Lombardy, with fresh
confiscations of the property of persons emigrating.
We read in the Opinions of Turin of the Ist :
" The Gazetta del Popolo has published a decree of
the Emperor of Austria, ordering the sequestration
of the property of all emigrants, even when sub-
jects of other States. We did not think it expe-
dient to reproduce this document owing to the
contradictory rumours which accompanied it. We
now learn from Milan that such a decree does exist,
but that its application has been provisionally sus-
pended on account of the serious international dif-
ficulties which might arise_ with respect to the
emigrants who are subjects of other States."
The. Parlamento of Turin of the Ist announces
that the Piedmontese Cabinet and the .Parliamen-
tary Committee have come to an agreement on the
question of the Sardinian Church. The island is
to pay 2,111,40 Cf. per annum for the support of its
clergy. The Chamber of Deputies has closed the
general discussion of the bill, and rejected all the
amendments to the first article.
The new loan for Piedmont, 2,000,000 at three
per cent., has been concluded with Messrs. Roths-
child Brothers. The terms are 69f. at six months.
A letter from Tuscany of the 23rd uli., in the
Mediterraneo of Genoa, states that the Tuscan Go-
vernment has signed the sanitary convention con-
cluded last year in Paris, and that the treaty of
commerce with France is concluded for 30 ye ars
with the reciprocal right of giving it up at the end
of 10 or 20 years.
A letter from San Marino of the 18th ult., states
that the Republic has organised its army, which
amounts to 1,356 men ;—a formidable force for a
little state of 22 square miles, and 7,600 inhabi-
tants.

HULL ELECTION.

Mr. LABOUCHERE reported that the Hull election
committee had determined that Mr. James Clay and
Viscount Goderich were not duly elected for Hull at the
last election. They had also come to the following reso-
lution :—That Mr. James Clay and Viscount Goderich
were guilty by their agents of bribery and treating, but it
was not proved with their knowledge or consent ; also, that
corrupt practices had prevailed to a considerable extent
at the last election; and further that there had existed
at the last, and at many former elections, a system of
bribing poor voters by the payment of 30s. a-head. On
the motion of the hon. member the evidence was ordered
to be laid on the table. The hon. member also gave
notice that to-morrow he would move that no writ for
the borough be issued before the 12th April.

ELECTION COMMITTEES-(TIIIS DAY.)

DERBY.

The committee sat at twelve o'clock.

Mr. Taylor, the landlord of the County Tavern, was
recalled, and, in answer to the committee, said, that he
sent Morgan's card to Cox's by a messenger named
North. He had no communication with Morgan on his
return.

Henry Sharrack, a journeyman butcher, examined—l
have a vote for the borough of Derby. I promised it to
Bass and Heyworth. My master had promised to vote
for the other side. I was in a hay field on the polling-
day, where a man named Cyrus Babb came up to me,
and said to me, " Come along, Harry, there is a pig for
you." I went down to the Northern Star, where I met
a man named Clarke, who asked me what I wanted for
my vote. I said I didn't know. He said he would give
me 21., that was the farthest extent. I was to vote for
Horsfall. I said very well. I went down to the com-
mittee-room for a ticket. There I found Mr. Ackermann,
who gave me a ticket to go to the polling booth. I then
went to the polling booth, and voted for Mr. Horsfall.
I then went to the Northern Star, and had some porter.
Babb was with me. He left me; telling me I must wait
till a stoutish man came to fetch me to go for the money.
After a while a stoutish man did come for me. I should
know him again. His name is William Savage.
Savage was called in and identified by the witness.
Examination resumed— Savage and I then went down
to the County Tavern. We went into the stable yard,
and up a flight of stairs. There was a man on the
stairs ; he let Savage pass, but stopped me. Savage
went in, and after a few minutes came out again. He
took me to the door, laid hold of my shoulders, and
turned me round with my back to the door. I put my
hand behind me, and two sovereigns were put into it.
I then went down stairs again with Savage. My num-
ber on the register is 1,053.
Morgan's little book, in which he entered the sums
he paid, and which, it will be remembered, was found
on the table before him at the time of ,his apprehension,
was handed in, and in it appeared an entry of 21. paid
to No. 1,053.
This witness was under examination when our re-
porter left.

CHATHAM.
The committee at their sitting this morning proceeded
to hear the arguments of counsel on the legal bearing of
the evidence, which were not concluded when our report
left.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT,

Mr. WHITESIDE wished to ask the Chief Secretary
of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, what are the inten-
tions of her Majesty's Government with respect to the
continuance of the Encumbered Estates Court ?

Sir J. YOUNG said the question was still under the
consideration of the Lord-Lieutenant.
SILVER COINAGE.

Mr. BASS wished to ask the right hon. gentleman
the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Government
intended to take any steps to increase the supply of
silver, which had been found very scarce of late ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
demand for gold was so extremely pressing at• pre-
sent that there was no chance of the Govern-
ment being able to increase the production of
silver coinage for some time to come. At present the
Mint was coining half a million sovereigns a week, just
twice as much as the maximum supply for which arrange-
ments had been made. With regard to silver coinage,
some time ago 92,0001. worth were struck off, and the
Mint had been given to understand that the pressure
was not now so bad that the public could not wait until
the demand for gold had decreased.

Mr. fIUME wished to know if there was any inten-
tion to establish a mint in Australia ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the subject bad been under the anxious considera-
tion of the Government. The mind, however, of
the Government was made up on the subject, and their
views only remained to be put into shape before being
brought before Parliament.

DERBY.

Several voters who had been promised 21. each to vote
for Mr. Horsfall were examined. They described the
manner in which, after polling for Mr. Horsfall, they
were taken to the County Tavern upstairs to the door of
the room in which Mr. Morgan was, at the door of
which they were placed with their backs turned so as
not to be able to see anything in the room. Two sove-
reigns were then mysteriously dropped into their hands,
which they had been told to place behind them. They
were then led down stairs without seeing anybody. The
process was always the same, and in each case
the entry was found in Morgan's book of the name or
numher on the register of each vote, with the sum paid
to him placed against it.

Mr. Flewker was recalled and examined as to an
attempt which he said had been made on Friday even-
ing last, after the conclusion of his examination-in-chief
