" BERLIN, JAN. 23.--We receive frequent nett'''

sl'°Pkeepers, who are obliged to have public con-
spicuous situations, high-rents, and many win-
(l°ws, it would be an aggravation of 'their dim-
culties---oot a relief. The whole of the Assessed
4%es as they now stand Produce about six Mil-
liuns a-year. It is not to be supposed that tripling

though it could not be evaded for this ..year by

b
L a deficit from inability, and the twO new

therefore, that there is any serious idea of such

S'ilititute.• It may be thrown out to try the
puige of the Public, with a reserve, that if the
substitute shall not be granted, they May ha-ve an
!'`cuse for coming back to the Income' Tax itself."
Allowing a little for the party venom in wording
the above, it contains some sensible remarks. We
coincide with every item Of it but that which sup-
poses that the idea of augmenting the Assessed
T4xes is thrown as a 'mere ruse-de -guerre. The
learned Editor published a statementlait week, de-
.
tionstrating that the ordinary Taxes would barely
Pay the interest of the National Debt, and since lie
has found out that none of the odious War Taxes
ahould be cantinued, to finish paying the expellees
°l' the War, it would be but bind and patriotic iit
Hint to suggest the
,means by which the na-
ti,,n.
expenditure is to be met. It is vonsense
ttf agailist Income, and Malt, and Assessed

Knowing the interest - taken, not only by the
military world, but by..the Public in general, on
the above subject, ve thought it worth while to
stop the press at three o'clock yesterday; and com-
municate the following notice through the.me-
dium of the remainder of our daily impression

" Sun-Office, Thrce o'Cloc4.

"We stop the press to say, that CoIoneI.PALNIER
fought Colonel QtJENTIN at Parrs, o❑ Friday last,
and after receiving his Adversary's fire, whicdi, we
rejoice to say, failed to take eirect,. discharged his
pistol •in the air. Col.. QUFNTIN'S Second (his
Brother-in-law) then declared he was satisfied.—
Further particulars to-tnorr.ow."

COlO4 PALMER had been at Bourdeaux, and on
his return to 'Paris on Thursday last, found that
Mr. LAWRELL (Col. QUENTIN'S brother-in-law)
had left a'card repeatedly at his Hotel during his
ahsettc, in consequence of which he immediately
signified his arrival to thht Gentleman. Mr. LA W-
RELL soon after. waited upon him with a Chal-
lenge from Col. QUENTIN, which Col. PALM F,ll
immediately accepted, though strenuouly advised
by his nunterou„s friends not to go out on this
occasion.

Every preliminary being arranged, the parties
met as we have stated, Colonel QUENTIN acconi-
panied by his relative, and Colonel PALMER by
Mr. T. THOMPSON, the AleMber for Midlittrst.
The distance measured was twelve paces, and the
Challenger, thinking himself aggrieved, having
-given his fire, Colonel PALMER, whose object
throughout this business seems to have been to de-
monstrate that he had no private pique, and-was
only actuated by a sense of public duty, though
his honourable Spirit would not permit him to
refuse the meeting', sheweil that it was no per-
sonal motive which influenced his conduct, by in-
stantly diScharging his pistol in. the air. Mr.
LAWRELL and Colonel QUENTIN. having there-
upon, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. THOMP-
so;I, declared themselves perfectly satisfied, the
affair terminated, and the parties returned to

Surgeons were upon the ground.

At a late Quart;r-Sessioni in a maritime coun-
ty, a Whig Magistra7e, Neel' known for his stern
administration of: justice, loudly rebuked from the
bench the Chaplain to the gaol, for professionally
presuming to plead- for mercy to a, poor female
culprit, who had stolen a plumb-pudding at
Christmas. Humbled by the bruiu tone of the re-
buke; the Preacher to the Gentiles sat down,
and only lowly exclaimed, Tit Brute.," A Pro-
vincial Editor of a weekly vehicle of intelligence
took upon bum to record the reply, and to trans-
late it •for the benefit of Country Gentlemen. .But
in the display of his learning, ha made a mistake,
not very unlike that of an.lrish Editor (who mis-
named the Doge of 'Venice, the Dog of, Venice),
by litertilly turning the apostrophe in Latin into
an English word of similar sound ; and by whkh
the worthy Magistrate is unluckily distinguished.
As a proof that the amusement of Grim Con.
is not confined to the warmer regions of the
South, the Lady olColonel -- made a small
el3penrent,,a • few. days ago, with a Captain of
artillery. The husband of the Lady, perhaps
putting his hand to leis side, found that leis rib, was
4013 e, and immediately ordering a post-chaise,
pursced the fugitises to Beverley, in Yorkshire,
where haring Overtak,...n them, he has reclaimed the.
Lade, and findi4that,siPtple locks would not do,
he Las got a patent one, and turned the key upon
her. The Lady, we regret to soy, has a family,
of which, some Gentlemen in the' aeighbourhood.
are now takiug the care. •
COURT OF S E SSW Ist .---/MpOrta /2 t
of WEMYs v. WELSH and others.—A`deeisionhas:
taken place in. the First Division of 'the Court Cif
Session on this important question. The late
Duke of QUEENSBURY was in the Inactiee of let-
ting his lands upon his estate of March for gra- s-
sums ; and. the principal question that occurred
was, whether :the proprietor of an entailed estate,
where he was not prohibited by the entail, could
let his -lands on such terms The Court found,
that the practice, was illegal ; and therefore, re-
duced the leases.

FRAUD AND rthIGERY.—A respectable young
man having caused an advertisement to be .put in
a Morning Paper, a few days since, offering a
handsome dotteenr in lieu of being provided with
an adequate permanent situation in one -of the
Public Offices, he was shortly favoured with a
reply from a person holding chambers in the
neighbourhood of Sherborne-lane, in the
A meeting .was proposed,• and a situation offered
to. the Gentleman iii Sornersct-house, which was.
to be rendered permanent and secure: The pro-
posal was instantly accepted, and the stain
minded as a compensation, six hundred pounds,
as instantly paid. Certain documents ‘vere then
exoangetl, two of which, drawn up on parchment,
were signed by certain individuals. 1,4 e after-
wards discovered that the whole was a. gross ini-
ToSition, the vernier of places a ciizet, and, the
