irt Wnow-Tax.—The proposition of the CL!in-
cellor of the Exchequer, for the purpose of increasing the as•
sessed taxes, has caused much anxiety among several persons as
to the effect of the statute 4 and 5 William IV., c. 54, so far as
the window-tax is a subject of that act. The object of the
statute was to continue for five years, from the sth of April,
1835, compositions for the assessed taxes, made by virtue of
several previous acts, the contracts for which compositions ex-
pired on the sth of April. 1835, subject to certain terms, condi-
tions, and exceptions. On Mr. Bernal asking the Chancellor
of the Exchequer last Vriday whether it was his intention to
proceed with the increased tax of 10 per cent. in the case of
windows which had been opened on the confidence of former
transactions, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that the
provisions of the 4th and sth William IV. on this subject would
be " religiously observed, and that there was no intention to
repeal it." The act has, in fact, already expired, the five years
for which it was to continue baving ended on the sth of last
April ; but from the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
the intention must be to levy that tax merely on the existing
rate, and not on the additional windows, if the force of these
provisions in the cited act is to be revived.
DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION BY A FISH-
BONE.—On Tuesday an inquest was held on view of the body
of a female child, of about one year and nine months old, named
Dolman, at the house of her parents. It appeared that on the
afternoon of Monday the deceased was standing in a chair when
she suddenly became black in the face. She was immediately
taken to a druggist in the neighbourhood, and afterwards to the
Northern Hospital, but died in about a quarter of an hour
afterwards. The deceased had eaten a little ray fish at her
breakfast in the morning, and had potatoes and gravy for her
dinner. On a post nv-,rtem examination by Dr. Arnot, who
had previously attempted to restore animation without avail—a
fish-bone was found sticking in the upper part of the windpipe,
which was the cause of death. Verdict accordingly.—Ltver-
pool Chronicle.
NAPOLEONS REM A INS.—lmmediately after
the rejection by the Chamber of Deputies of the recommenda-
tion of the Committee on the Bill for the translation of the
remains of Napoleon to grant another million of francs, sub-
scriptions were opened towards the completion f the required
sums at the offices of the Siecle, Capitole, Courrier Francais,
and C,,mneree. These journals have new published the sub-
scription lists of two days, amounting for the three lists to a
total of rather more than 9,000 f. Siecle, 4,840 f. ; Courrier,
2,394 f. ; Capitols, I,Bllf. In the list of the Sleds we find
the proprietors of the journal for 1,000 f., 111. Las Cases, sen.,
and members of his family, for 2,000 f., with an engagement
to quadruple that sum if the subscriptions should not ex-
ceed a million. The second day's list of the Siecle con-
tains about 200 names, and the amount is 1,146 f. In the
list of the Courrier, we find that journal down foi 500 f. ; 30
members of the family of M. Boulay de la Meurthe for 505 f. ;
M. Vatry, the Deputy, for 500 f. ; and Count Eugene Ney for
40f. The Capitole list contains the name of Colonel Vaudrey,
who was implicated in the affairs of Strasburg, for 50f. ; that
of M. Parquin for 30f. ,• the Viscountess de Querelles nee
Beauhainais for 25f. ; and the proprietors of the Capitole for
600 f. The Constitutionnel says, on the subject of this demon-
stration—“ A committee is about to be formed which is to ma-
nage the national subscription for the translation of the remains
of Napoleon. It will be composed of persons devoted to the
institutions of the monarchy ; so that this grand national act
may not, in any degree, assume the character of a demonstra-
tion of party. It is reported that Marshal Gerard has accepted
the presidency." The Capitole states that N. Las Cases, sen.,
is likely to be the vice-president.
