PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MRS. GLOVER —On
Thursday last the above popular actress attained the
anniversary of the sixty-sixth year of her age, on which
occasion all the members of the Haymarket company
assembled, by Mr. Webster's request, in the green-roam
of the theatre, for the purpose of drinking a glass of wine
to the health of the " Mother of the Stage." Mr. Web-
ster then proposed the lady's health in an appropriate
and feeling terms, alluding to her long and honourable
career on the stage, and pointing to her as an example
of artistic excellence worthy of being imitated by the
younger members of the profession in their struggles
for theatrical fame. At the conclusion of his address a
very handsome silver tankard was produced, which Mr.
Webster presented to Mrs. Glover, with renewed wishes
for her health and prosperity, in which he was heartily
joined by every individual present. The recipient of the
unexpected gift, being taken by surprise, was much over-
come by her feelings ; she, however, expressed her
thanks briefly, but warmly ; after which the tankard
was filled and sent round for inspection and examina-
tion of its workmanship and contents. The following
inscription was engraven upon the tankard :—" Pre-
sented to Mrs. Glover, the Mother of the Stage, on her
attaining her 66th year, Bth January, 1846, by her de-
voted admirer, Benjamin Webster, lessee of the Hay-
market Theatre."
INCOME TAX.—The utmost annoyance has been
experienced by sharebrokers and other parties in this town,
during the last fortnight, in having to appear before the Pro-
perty-tax Commissioners, and spend a great deal of time in
replying to the surcharges of the officials. We understand the
sharebrokers are grossly overrated, some being set down as hav-
ing incomes of 20,0001. a year, and similar exaggerations arid
calculations are made in reference to other tradesmen. In
nearly every case where these monstrous overcharges have been
made, the party appealing has maintained his ground. The
odiousness of the income-tax has been strikingly exhibited
within the last few weeks by the arbitrary exactions attempted
to be made. Overcharges have been made by wholesale without
any reason whatever; and the parties overcharged have been
exposed to an inquisition of their whole concerns.— 6
