the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability,
and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored
elasticity of the Skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic
nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, ROWLAND'S
RALYDOR pleasingly eradicates freckles, sunburn, tan, spots,
pimples, flushes, and discolorations, imparting a delicate smoothness

m- One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield him,elf under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity.
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.
....

The usual weekly meeting of this board on Saturday
last was attended by an average number of members,
whose attention, however, appeared to be more engaged
in sotto rocs discussions upon the prospects of the im-
pending electioneering contest than upon the transaction
of the ordinary parish business.
Mr. Stanford was called to the chair.
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE COUNTY AND POLICE RATES.
The f. llowing report was presented:—
`• At the committee appointed to consider the increase
of the rentals in the various parishes of the county, as
set forth in the communication recently forwarded to the
vestry by her Majesty's Sustices of the Peace for the
county of Middlesex, and particularly to ascertain the
effect of the proposed iscreabe upon the rentals of the
parish of St. Marylebone in the police and county-rates
paid by this parish. as well as to test the accuracy of the
basis upon which the magistrates' calculations have been
founded. Present—Mr. G. Daniell, in the chair ; Mr.
H. U. Wilson, Mr. Jo.eph, Mr. Curteiss, Mr. Armson,
and Mr. Nisbet.

" Yuur committee report that, in the exercise of the
powers intrusted to them by the vestry, they have bad
interviews with the Police Commissioners and with the
Middlesex magistrates ; that the Commissioners of the
Metropolitan Police have informed your committee that
they contemplate providing: for their exigencies alone,
and not to levy the presenteightpence police rate on the
increased rental • and with reference to this intention
your committee beg to age that they consider it as a
prudent resolve, more particularly as the present amount
levied is the maximum rate, and which was assumed
when the police measure passed into a law would be of
rare occurrence, and it should be remembered that each
new building ,when rated provides an additional source
of income to the Police Commissioners to the extent of
eightpence in the pound on its rental. Then as regards
the county magistrates, they also state that the wants of
the county alone will regulate the amount of the
county rates levied, and that the alteration made
on the rentals was with a view to a more equalised
assessment, and allowed that St. Marylebone had for
• a long period paid more than its comparatively fair share
to the county rates, and that to prevent such a recur-
rence they intended proceeding to levy the county
rates o.* a more equitable adjustment, according to the
following basis:--The income-tax assessment is taken
as an important element, but not absolutely as their
guide, the magistrates having added thereto what they
deemed as omitted, but really belonging to the parish,
such as railways where the whole length of the line is
levied on its terminus, and deducting therefrom what
they deemed not rateable to the poor, such as churches
and chapels, hospitals, dispensaries, schools, and lite-
rary institutions, also deducting for empty houses, and
finally deducting from such reduccd amount of rental
not less than 10 per cent. for repairs and insurance.
Assuming the position that your committe have no right
to doubt, from the high standing of the various parties
as public functionaries, that this statement will be car-
ried out in good faith, it is evident to your committee
that by the new rentals the parish of St. Maryleboue
will be a gainer to the extent of 5 per cent. on the an•
nual outgoing for the police and county rates, for while
Mary leborie is assessed at 17k per cent. increase, the
whole county is assessed at 22f per cent. average in-
crease, making a saving to this parish on the general
assessment for police and county purposes of upwards of
1,5001. per annum.
" The_ parish of St. James, Westminster, offers an
illustrative example of this view in an inverse ratio, that
parish having been formerly assessed on only 240,9561.,
but now on 427,8521., being an increase of 186,8961, or
77 per cent., involving an additional charge to that
parish for police and county purposes of 7,0001. per
annum. Your committee have now ascertained the prin-
ciple on which the magistrates have acted, and in con-
clusion recommend that the accuracy of these calcula-
tions be tested, and that for such purpose application be
made to her Majesty's Commissioners of Land-tax for
leave to inspect the income.
books, which inspection
will also be ecessary for the purpose of assimilating the
rentals of the poor rate books
which are set forth by the
magistrates in their recent communications with this
board, and the rentals assessed to the poor-rates and to
the police and county rates ought unquestionably to be
tax
•
me same.

" G. DANIELL, Chairman."
Mr. G. DANIELL, in rising to move the adoption of the
report, obs,•rved that it .as one of the most important
matters that had come before the vestry for some time
In the last interview with the Middlesex magistrates
those gentlemen had admitted tnat arylebone had long
been wronged by the system of assessment. The parish
would not alone effect a saving by the new at range-
went of 1.5001. a year, but would be paying, as it ought,
a fair share of the rates, instead of, as had been the case-
in St. George's, paying 30 per cent, less. The adoption
of the report having been seconded was agreeo to unani-
nuusly.
The committee was re-appointed upon the motion of
Mr. DANIELL.

THE RETIREMENT OF MR. D. W. HARVEY'
Mr. MIcHIE rose to as,li a question of considerable im-
portance to the borough, of their representative Sir B.
Hall. There was a report going about that Mr. llarvey
had received a consideration for his withdrawal.—(Cries
of " Oh, oh," and laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN said he could not allow any question
which related to politics to be asked.
Mr. Micunt, however, persisted, and asked the Hon.
Member whether he knew anything about any conside-
ration having been paid. He asked the question because
the lion. Member was being libelled, and he thought
the point ought to be cleared up--(Contusion.)
Sir B. HALL said he would answer the question if it
was properly put.
The CHAIRMAN said a question could only be put
through the chair,
and while be occupied that position
he would not put any such question.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir B. HALL—I know nothing whatever about it.
The matter then dropped.
No other business of public importance was agitated,
and the board shortly after broke up.

FIRE NEAR BRIANSTON-SQUARE.-011 Saturday
morning, shortly before three o'clock, an alarming fire
broke out on the premises belonging to Mr. J. B. Hudson,
coachmaker, situate at 36, Wyndham-street, Bryanston-
