STITuTioN OF -HOU 1 110
POSED BY THE Y7,IIES.

TO THE EDITOR OF TfiE SUN.
Sia,—l read a ith much pleasure your observations
upon the neces,ity of' exarting ounailvas, if we desire
the unconditional repeal of this odious tax. and the
artiale in the Times convinces me that the Chancellor
of t'oeExchequt,r is about to try another of Us dodges,
in which he will be !picked by that finscrupwowth
organ of anything, and of everything which supports
the aristorracy at the expense of the middle class.
Neither the public or the press should ever forget
that Sir Charlea Wood is the only Chancellor of the
Exchequer who has ever shown such a contempt for
the audience he was addressing as to introduce a
Bill, with the ostensible object of reducing taxation,
in reality enormously increasing it. In this nefa-
rious attempt he was only beaten by the press—the
press made him abandon No. 1 Stamp Bill, No. 3
Stamp Bill, and forced him to adopt No. 3 Stamp
Bill, almost the identical measure it bad previously
told him was the only honest one.
Such conduct clearly proves that the leading, in-
deed, the only principle which Sir Charles Wood
recognises as Chancellor of the Exchequer is to get
money, honestly if he can, but ail' to get money,
and, like the Times, is never without some red her-
ring to draw the attention of the public. In the pre.-
sent case these Siamese Twins say houses are pro-
perty, and therefore a fit subject for taxation.
So is Sir Charles Wood's estate at Hickleton and
his brother-in-law's at Howick property, and property
far more valuable than that of houses worth thirty
years' purchase, whereas houses seldom bring twenty ;
yet how does Sir Charles Wood propose to tax the
more valuable property of himself and his brother-in-
law, and my property, of far inferior value—in other
words, how does he and the editor of the Times pro-
pose to tax the property of the aristocracy and that
of the middle class ? Look at these columns :
Taxation of Sir Charles Wood's Proposed Taxation on my
on Property. Property.
Property-tax 3 per cent. Property-tax ... 3 per cent.
Legacy-tax Nil. Legacy-tax, from 2to 10 perct.
House-tax
get.
And this is the budget patronised by the Times,
and patronised for reasons well worthy so base an
object. The reason, at least the only one given by
the Times, is a falsehood. It is, that the surplus is
not sufficient to reduce the window-tax. Now this is
simply a direct falsehood, and the more wicked, be-
cause the writer must have known that he was stating
a falsehood for the purpose of deceiving the public.
Not a week has elapsed since the Times published a
statement, signed by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, statirg that the surplus revenue was above
3,400,000/. The window -tax produces 1,800,000/. ;
if, therefore, the tax were unconditionally repealed,
there would still be a surplus revenue of 1,600,0001.
Will the Times explain why it endeavoured to palm
a falsehood upon the public ? I wait its answer before
I give the window-tax another push.
I remain your most obedient servant,
A HOUSE. OWNER.

LADY FLORA HASTINGS.

TO THE ADITOR OE THE SUN.

Sin,—Tney are singular, and yct very mailmen. errors
which a large portion of the spot ling public fall into
respecting the characteristics of race-courses and die
tanees, when they imagine that because one horse beats
another over a flat he should be capable of aceornpli,h-
Mg the same feat over a hilly course, or even one that h,as
comparatively but slight deviations from a level; and
again, because one possesses a turn of speed suitable for
a mile, and beats another cleverly in a spin for
that distance, he should be thought qualified to
manage the trick in a mile and a half or two
milee' spurt 'against the same antagonist. Now it
does not stand to reason for a moment that such could
be the case, although in some instances we find a horse
that no course comes amiss to—that is suited to every
inequality or length; but this is a very rare circum-
stance; on the other hand, there is nearly always some
particular kind of ground or distance that is more agree-
able than others to every individual member of the
equine world; some take a hill with case, others shut
up at the sight of it; some run the Beacon Course with-
out turning a hair, and are as fresh at the end as at
the commencement, others have done their best
and finished at half a mile ; some skim o'er
a mile on the flat at great speed, while others
have not got the steam up until they've mounted
the Derby-hill, or passed Tattenham-corner. Such are
a few of the inconsistencies of horse-flesh; consequently,
it is very clear no general rule can be applied to these
particular points. Full one-third of the science of the
turf depends on the subjects I have been treating of;
therefore, thus early in the year ("for to be forewarned,
is to be forewarned"), I have determined upon laying be •
fore you an accurate table of the distances and peeuliar
uatures of the various courses at Newmarket; the cor-
rectness of which I have ascertained at no little trouble
to myself by personal investigation and measurement:—
" Therefore there needs no more be said here,
I unto it refer my reader;
For brevity is very good,
When we're, or are not, understood."
NAME OF COURSE—DISTANCE—DESCRIPTION.

Yearling, 2 fur. 47 yds.—A slight descent all the way.
Chesterfield Stakes, 4 fur. 44 yds.—Starts on a level,
ends on a rise of 18 feet in a furlong and a half.
New Two years old, 5 fur. 136 yds.—Starts on a rise of
7 feet in a quarter of a mile, flat in the centre, ends

down bill.
Two years old, 5 fur. 186 yds.—Almost flat, with a slight
fall in the centre of about 2 feet.
Criterion or Turn of the Lands In, 5 far. 184 yds.—All
on the rise, 16 feet in the first three furlongs, and
14 feet i❑ the last two.
Ditch Mile, 7 fur. 178 yds.—A rise of 8 feet in the first
furlong, nearly flat in the centre, with a rise of 5
feet in the last 250 yards.
Abingdon Mile, 7 fur. 200 yds.—Starts on the flat, falls
gently in the middle, rises 5 feet in the sixth fur-
long, falls at the bushes, and ends on a rise.
Bunbury Mile, 7 fur. 208 yds.—Has a rise of 11 feet in
the first furlong, 5 in the second, and 4 in the third,
falls slightly in the fifth, and rises 18 feet in the
last furlong and a half. (Nicknamed Bunbury's

cruel mile.)
Rowley Mile, 1 m. 1 yd.—Starts on the flat, falls gently
in the middle, rises 5 feet in the fifth furlong, falls
at the bushes, and rises 101 fee t in the last 250 yards.
(The 2,000 Guineas, end many of the spring stakes
are run on this course.)
Cambridgeshire, 1 in. 1 fur. 8 yds.—ls quite straight, flat
at starting, a gentle rise for two furlongs, with a
steady rise of 32 feet in the last five furlongs.
Across the Flat, 1 m. 2 fur. 24 yds.—A rise of eight feet
in the first furlong, nearly flat in the centre, a rise
of five feet in the seventh furlong, falls at the
beetles, and rises 10i feet in the last 250 yards.
Suffolk Stakes, l:m. 4 fur.—Starts on a rise, then falls
28 feet in three furlongs, rises 11 feet in the fourth
furlong, 11 feet in the fifth, sixth, and seventh; next
two furlongs level, falls in the tenth furlong, and
rises 18 feet in the last furlong and a half.
Clermont, 1 m. 6 fur. 20 yds.—Starts on the flat and ends
on the Cambridgeshire course at the Duke's Stand,
a rise of 17 feet in the last three furlongs.
Audley End, 1 in. 7 fur. 55 yds.—Starts on the flat and
ends on the Cambridgeshire course.
Two Middle Mika, Ira. 7 fur. 127 yds.—Starts on a gentle
rise, falls 25 feetin the second, third, and fourth
furlongs; rises 11 feet in the fifth, then nearly fist
to the last furlong, in which there is a rise of 5 feet.
Ditch-in, 2m. 0 fur. 97 yds.—Starts on the flat at the
A. F. starting post, and ends on the Cam. course.
Cesarewitch, 2 m. 1 fur. 215 yds.—Starts at the T. M. M.
starting post, over the whole of that course, and
ends on the last furlong of the A. F. course.
Beacon, 4 m. 1 fur. 138,,yds.—Falls 42 feet in the first
half mile, 15 feet in the second, and 20 feet in the
third half; 8 feet on the next three furlongs, then
rises 19 feet in two furlongs and forty-one yards,
thence over the whole of the D. T. course.
It will be seen by the foregoing table that the Ches-
terfield, Criterion, Bunbury Mile, Cambridgeshire, Suf-
folk, and Beacon courses are the severest, requiring a
fair share of gameness in the horse to ensure victory en
them, while the courses on the Flat only require a speedy
animal. I shall return to this subject at some future
period, end show the levels of the Epsom and other
courses.
In order to render my analytical scheme on the races
of the spring complete, and so meet the views of the
sporting public in this particular, I shall not overlook
what may seem trivial (but what in reality is not so),
but begin in as perspicuous a manner as possible with an
outline or abstract of the engagements of the Derby
favourites in the
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
On the Monday,Runnymede and Midas are engaged in
a R.M. Sweepstakes of 50 soya, each. Should the former
be beaten he will disappear like an aerolito from the
Derby mat ken and be seen there no more; but according
to public running he ought to win, in which case he most
probably will rise some points. On the Tuesday, in the
Eighteenth Riddlesworth, Hernandez is almost "alone
in his glory," his principal opponents being Hookum
Snivey and the Black Sea. Same day there is also a
Sweepstakes of 100 soya. each, over the Ab. M.,
in a hich Ariosto, Sat 31b, figures in opposition to
Brother to Drakelow, Bst 31b, Minos and Phlege-
then. Bst lib each; the Italian post must win
this or withdraw, otherwise his Derby chance is " small,
demined small." On the Wednesday, in a Sweepstakes
of 200 sous. each, over the D.M., Sir J. Hawley will
have to maintain the position of Teddington by sending
him past the post first, or else leave The Ben to fight it
out with Midas and Coticula. Of the 26 nominations to
the Column Stakes, three are dead, and seven out of
training; out of the remaining 16, Payment and Aricsto,
with allov,ances of 31b each, look the most formidable;
among the opposition Merry Peal, Bst llb; Coticula,
Bst Bib, and Col. Peel's Black Sea, Bst 71b, and Palmyra
filly, Bst 41b, will be found. On the Thursday, Storm,
Bst 71b, and IL- a minster, Bst 41b, in opposition to Jug-
gernaut, Bst 71b, Ariosto, Bst 41b, and Catalpa, Bst 41b,
are matched in the 100 soya D.M. Sweepstakes; Storm,
I fancy, will nut show in this meeting; should he do so,
he wit:es of course, as in his absence (if seat) will New-
minster ; Anisette will be drawn, and Catalpa may be
second.
In a D.M. Sweepstakes of 100 soya. each, on the Fri-
tifse , the Squire's Mountain Sylph colt must dispose of
Midas or kblegra, or farewell to his Derby chance.

On the Monday, in the
NEW MARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING,
Balsamo's pretensions will be tested in the 50 Soya.
Stakes, A .F.; and on the Tuesday we arrive at the day
appointed for the decision of the key to the Derby—
THE TWO-THOUSAND GUINEA STAKES;
for which, out of 31 nominations, only four are out of
training, viz.-2Eolns, Amima colt, Julia, and Emerald
colt; of the remaining 27, eleven are "dark," including
Oleander, Primitious, Balsamo, Ipsus, 800, Boabdil,
Lamartine, and Newminster; but of this division only.
three are likely runners, an two of them, 800 and Bal-
sam°, have no attractions for me, being of but little use
against Newminster, my chosen representative of the
dark lot. This leaves sixteen public performers, nine of
whom may be discarded as the hopeless lot, viz.:—
Breba, Buckhound, Cnseini, Exeter, Grosvenor, Glen-
hawk, Harpsichord, Olympian and Phlegethon; and
from the residue I must extract the winner I Sir
J. Hawley's Confession, so far as I can judge from
appearances, stands an equal chance with his Balsaroo,
which is not saying much in the Confessor's favour.
The same remarks will apply to Lord H. Lennox's Her-
nandez and 800. Hippolytus seems to be Lord Eglin-
ton's hope for this stake, as Midas is Lord Exeter's, but
both are much too slow to have a chance of competing
successfully with Greoian, Newminster, and Co., over
the Rowley Mile. _ _

Mr. Howard's ch. c. Grecian, by Epirus, out of Jenny
Jumps, the only horse who bas been supported to any
extent for this race, made his debut at Stockbridge by
winning the Ten Sovereigns Stakes in a common canter,
beatir g Heart of Oak, and four others ; he afterwards
ran at Newmarket, where be won the July Stakes,
easily, after a dead heat with Aphrodite. These are
his -only performances; he is doing a fair amount of
work, looks well, and will be difficult to beat for the
Guineas.
Storm requires no consideration at the present mo-
ment, as I understand ho will nut be Scott's horse on
the day.
Mr. Nicholl's b. c. Newminster, by Touchstone
out of Beeswing, is an improvement on the Nunnykirk
breed; looks and goes well, but I am afraid is scarcely
fast enough for the Rowley Mile spurt; however, it not
the winner, he will be immediately in his rear. More
anon.
Mr. Osbaldeston's b. c. by Touchstone, out of Moun-
tain
has appeared in public twice, the first time
Ariosto, and nine others cleverly by
over; the colt is well
babeeetikdij,i'gpgothCs'soenstshfe r
secondeesssao walkingairishturnof speed, is certain to be
one of the first three in the race (if well on the day),
and, us the Squire declares, is in first-rate fettle. It no
urifereseen cireurnstatee occurs
.to dislocate my present
arrangements, 1 anticipate seeing a beautiful race be-
tween Grecian, New miuster, aud the Sylph colt, with a
close finish; and as Grecian is rather riecedier than the
other two, perchance with him the winner by a nob,
although, I must confess, I base a strong penchant for
New tninster.
On the Thursday the principal feature cn the card
will be
'IRE ONE THOUSAND GUINEA STAKES,

for which, out of thirty-three nominaticns, six are out of
training, and three sold without their engagements,
leaving twenty-four to contest the stake. Out of these,
the. odd four in Sir J. Hawley's name, contain a couple

PEPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX

T.Ast, A v, ry notnerov: tot of tI;F, i-,-
;;3,7t.:-.tits of Si. Gic.s end St. Gtorv,
convened by the Parochial Association, 1. id ar
the Music fldl, Store-street, to adopt f:.easures
obtaining the tw.:ll vnd iminedir,te n-pt al of the v.i7.-
dovv-tr.x. Dq,utaliocs from St. l'..laryiebonc, S.
Pane ^z,, Islington, St. Je.mee, and oche i- pai..-,1-2,cs at-
tended the meeting.
BIiNJ.kAIIN BOND CAI3DELL, Eeq., M.P. (th''
chairman), said that he did not intend to make any
more remarks on this important subject than to say
that nothing was more unjust than to deprive the
people of light and air. It was impossible that good
sanitary measures could be adopted so long as the
window-tax existed.—(Hear, hear.) He, therefore,
most cordially approved of the present movement.
Letters were read from Mr. C. Luthington.
Mr. W. Williams, M.P., General Sir De L. Evans,
M.P., Lord'D. Stuart, M.P., Sir B. Hall, M.P., and
Sir J. Duke, M.P., expressive of their regret at not
being able to be present, but declaring their deter-
mination to do all in their power to get rid of the
•
window-tax.

Mr. ROGERS then came forward to move the first
resolution, which was as follows :—"That the window-
tax is unjust in principle, oppressive in operation, and
injurious to the health and morals of the poor inha-
bitants of London and other large towns, and its
abolition being indispensible in carrying out the ur-
gent objects of social and sanitary reform, this meeting
pledges itself collectively and individually to resort to
-very constitutional means for obtaining its immediate
and unconditional repeal." He denied that this was
a mere question of money. It was, in truth, one of
justice and humanity.—(Cheers.)
Mr. SAVAGE, in seconding the motion, said that
this tax ought to have been repealed thirty-five years
ago. They knew that it had been imposed by Pitt,
to support the war. The war ceased in 1815, and
the tax ought not to have been continued after that
time.—(Hear.) It was a disgrace to the Government
that continued it so long, and to the people who per-
mitted it.—(Hear.) The tax was objectionable on
philanthropic, sanitary, and social grounds, but it was
objectionable on political grounds also. This tax,
which yielded 1,500,0001. a year, was paid by 480,000
persons, although there were 3,000,000 houses in the
country,—(Rear, hear.) It thus appeared, that during
the last thirty-five years, that number of persons paid
50,000,0001. more to the revenue than they ought to
have contributed.—(Here Mr. Wakley, M.P., en-
tered, and was received with applause.) It was quite
clear that the window-tax wad doomed, and that the
effort of the Minister would be to throw the burden
on houses. If this were attempted, he trusted the
people would be up and stirring, and that they would
show such a front as would deter the Minister from
pursuing this suggested course.
Mr. BELL, the new Member for St. Alban's, sup•
ported the resolution. It was not necessary to add
to the arguments urged against the wizn on
the ground of its injustice and of the prejudice which
it was to the morals and the health of the people.
Having referred to a case, which illustrated very for-
cibly the inconvenience and hardship of the window-
tax, he suggested that the practical mode of securing
the abolition of the window-tax would be to get pe-
titions to Parliament against the tax, written on fools-
cap, and that one of these petitions should be left with
some one inhabitant of each street in the metropolis,
whose duty it would be to get the householders in
these streets to sign these petitions, and if
there was to be found a street in which a
man was to be met with who would not undertake
the duty suggested, then the street in which that man
lived ought to be left in darkness.—(Laughter and
hear.) Well, when these petitions had been signed
he would suggest that thirty of these petitions should
be presented the first night by one Member after
another; the next night forty petitions ; the next
eight fifty, and so on.—(Hear.) They might depend
upon it that the Minister would get up and say, " We
have got enough of it."—(Hear, and laughter.) It
was not necessary that he should say anything more
on the question. He would only add that he would
support the abolition of the window-tax most strenu-
ously.

After a few words from Mr. GEORGE and Mr.
NICHOLAY,

The resolution was put to the meeting and agreed
0.

Mr. COOPER then moved that a petition be adopted
and presented to the House of Commons by Mr.
Wakley, and that each of the Members for the bo-
rough be requested to support its prayer, and in the
:vent of this tax not being repealed to vote against the
supplies being granted.—(Hear, hear.)
The petition was then read. It was an echo of the
first resolution.

Mr. MOORE, in seconding the resolution, announced
that Mr. Duncombe would at all risks to himself be
present to vote against the continuance of the window,
tax should it be persevered in.—(Hear.)
Mr. FREETII, of Marylebone, supported the re-
solution.

The resolution was then put to the meeting and
agreed to.

-Mr. NV-muter here presented himself, and expressed
his satisfaction at seeing ladies present. It was an
augury of success.—(Hear, hear.) He accepted the
mission which they had assigned to him, but he would
not promise what his Hon. Colleague promised—he
would not attend the House of Commons at the risk
of his life, but nothing short of danger to his life
should prevent him from attending and voting against
the tax.—(Hear, hear.) In 1849 he not only spoke
against the tax, but he suggested that unless the tax
was given up, the supplies ought to be stopped.—
(Cheers.) The late Sir Robert Peel said that his
speech was a violent one. Much had been said about
Ministers not doing their duty by the people, but he
must say that the people had exhibited a very culpable
degree of indifference on this question.—(Hear.)
So long as a Minister found a people willing to suffer
the burden of taxation—just as the donkey was treated
—(A laugh)—the more the load was increased.—
(Rear.) Lord Duncan deserved great credit for the
manner in which he persevered on this question of
the window-tax—(Hear, hear)—but had the inha-
bitants of the metropolis even now done their duty on
this question ? There had been as yet no meetings
in the city of London—none in the Tower Hamlets,
nor any, he believed, in Southwark, and only one or
two in Finsbury.—(Hear, hear.) If they wanted
their grievances redressed, they must demand that
they should be so.—(Hear, hear.) John Buil could
get all he wanted if he only showed determination en
the subject. In every petition against the window-
tax they ought also to protest against the house-tax.
They would then oppose a tax in anticipation.—
(Hear, hear.) If they wanted to keep a Minister
right they must keep him without money.—(Hear,
hear, and laughter.) But the fact was, the whole
system of taxation must be changed.—(Hear, hear.)
Property must be pressed upon before industry was
touched at all.—(Loud cheers.) They had two
‘l.embers of Parliament present, the Honourable
Chairman and the Honourable Member for St. Al-
ban's, but he was a Bell yet to be sounded in the
House of Commons.—(A laugh.) He had made a sug-
gestion. It might be very well for the Hon. Gentle-
man to do so, but there were many practical difficul-
ties to the presentation in the order recommended,
which his Hon. Friend in the chair was acquainted
with. Sometimes the mill turned the horse, instead
of the horse turning the mill.—(A laugh.) A man
once went to take a bear, but it was the bear took
the man.—(Laughter.) But this was clear, that un-
less the people out of doors spoke out, it was impos-
sible for Members to be of the slightest avail in the
House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He would sug-
gest that it would be very desirable that a motion
should be made at this, and such like meetings, re-
questing Lord Duncan to bring on his motion against
the window-tax at the earliest possible moment next
session.—(Hear.) The tax in question was the vilest
thing possible, and it was hardly possible to think
that there could have existed a wretch that could
have devised it.—(Hear, bear.) It was a premium
upon immorality, and " all the ills that flesh is heir
to." In conclusion, he would only add that he would
do his duty at some risk, and would oppose the sup-
plies being voted, if the Government did not consent
to give up the tax.—(Cheers.)
Mr. D. COOPER said that he had been called upon,
in accordance with the recommendation of Mr. Wak-
ley, to move a resolution of thanks to Lord Duncan,
and to express a hope that he would bring on his
motion against the window-tax at the earliest possible
moment next session.—(Hear.)
Mr. GEESIN, churchwarden of St. James's, se-
conded the motion, which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. JOHN TYRRELL moved the fourth resolution.
It was as follows :—" That a deputation be appointed
to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in con-
junction with the deputations from the other metropo-
litan parishes; and that the parochial associations be
requested to adopt such other measures as may be
deemed advisable to carry out the object of this
meeting."
Tne resolution having been seconded, it was
adopted ; after which the thanks of the meeting
were given to the Chairman, and the meeting sepa-
rated.

SENDING PAUPER CHILDREN TO BERMUDA.—The
Poor-law Board having applied to the directors of the poor
of St. Pancras, requesting information as to the alleged
sending out of pAuper children to Bermuda from that
I,arish, a letter from the directors was transmitted yesterd33-
to the board, admitting the fact of forty children having
been so sent out, and it adds :—" Every necessary care wt.:,
taken, and strict inquiry made by the directors from per-
sons well acquainted with Bermuda, previous to the children
being sent. A woman was engaged to take charge of the
girls before they were sent on board the vessel. They were
kept entirely separate from the boys, and the master of the
workhouse and directors saw that the arrangements and
provisions on board the ship were unexceptionable. Good
situations with respectable persons at Bermuda were pro-
vided for the children previous to their leaving England,
and most satisfactory accounts have been received of and
them."

JAMAICA.
Our dates from this island are to the 28th of
December.

The cholera was still extending its ravages over the
island, but its virulence was greater at the north side,
and more especially at Montego Bay and Falmouth.
It was decimating alike all classes without exception,
as we find that, besides a great number of the pea-
santry, many persons of respectability had fallen
under iti baneful influence. It was abating at the
south side, after having victimised thousands of the
inhabitant,. We are glad to learn of its almost en-
tire disappearance from Kingston, there being, up to
the close of our correspondence, only two or three
cases daily. The agricultural portion of the island
had suffered most severely. Several properties had
lost nearly all their labourers, and the whole agricul-
tural interests of the island must inevitably suffer
materially, unless speedy aid is rendered them by
the British Government, in the way of immigration.
We have it from undoubted authority that the
few remaining labourers have positively refused
to work, and the present crops which promised
largely, it is feared, cannot be taken off through
want of labour. There is scarcely an estate in the
island that does not come within the pale of these ob-
servations. The Council and Assembly of the island
had resolved on memorialising her Majesty on the
subject. The pestilence had almost entirely disap-
peared from Spanish Town and Port Royal, and
though it has somewhat abated in several of the dis-
tricts on the south side, still no parish can boast of its
entire disappearance. The boards of health of the
several parishes were exerting themselves to mitigate
the severity, and to prevent the further spread of the
disease, and also to relieve, as far as lay in their
power, the distresses of those who are unfortunately
afflicted. Numerous children had fallen victims on
the north side.

The local Legislature had been adjourned to the
14th of January, when they will re-assemble far the
dispatch of the business of the island. There was no
political news of any consequence.
Notwithstanding the melancholy state of the public
mind the Christmas holidays were ushered in with
joy and spent in conviviality and amusement, and
without any of the ancient demoralising and barba-
rous customs.

To 11:E ElGirr LuN. Lorp JuiiN LUSSLT I

:t w days the iu-ucture de-
bi.gned to receive tht-J conttibuticns of tilt. world'i, in-
dliostry completed. The quFstion now aries,
w, to the ;code of sl.2rAission of woiid's twople.
A::ci it is upon this important subject ',bat 1 now
ekim the libert.:.• of addre sing you.
kdinibsion be ',fixed by payment ; it
be free ?

Each mode has its difficulties; but, cuter an
anxious consult-ration of the matter, it is my convic-
tion that free entry will be at once more simply prac-
ticable, and more in harmony with the large 'and en-
lightened purpose of the Exhibition.
There are no less than 7,000 exhibitors. Surely
no tax should be levied upon them or their families
for the right of visiting an exhibition to the staple of
which they have themselves contributed. And lam
further confirmed in my belief of the practicability
and wisdom of free entrance—to be modified as
shall hereafter propose—by the unanimous and hearty
opinion of very many of the most influential members
of the city of London.
The Royal Commissioners have incurred a large debt
—a debt that must be liquidated. And it is to be
feared that a too anxious sense of this obligation may
induce the levying of a rate of entry that shall, to the
million, amount to prohibition.
I have therefore to propose that, for the first fort-
night of the Exhibition, admission shall be, in every
case, by payment. And further, that one day in the
week (and for many reasons I should select Wednes-
day) shall, for the whole term of exhibition, be re-
serv'd for the higher classes of all nations who may
prefer :c pay for the exclusive privilege of admission
rather than encounter the inconvenience of a crowd.
With these exceptions that the entrance shall be en-
tirely free.
The sum taken during the first fortpight, and on
the one day in each week, would, no doubt, be very
considerable ; nevertheless a large deficit would re-
main onerous upon the Royal Commissioners. This
deficit lam emboldened to solicit your Lordship to
meet by a Parliamentary grant. And this solicita-
tion I make the more readily, from the belief that from
the very fact of the Exhibition a large addition will
accrue to the revenue of the country ; an addition—
it is calculated upon trustworthy authority—of up-
wards of two millions. Now, of these two millions
how small the item required ,to throw open the
doors of the world's Exhibition to the world's citizens.
When the subject of the Exhibition was brought
before Parliament last year it was very properly dealt
with ; for, as everything was then in a state of un-
certainty as to the future, bad Government interfered
the whole matter must have passed into their own hands.
The case at present is entirely altered ; the building
is nearly finished, and will shortly be ready for the
reception of the world's wares, and the great difficulty
at this moment is to find space for the vast quantity
of articles likely to be sent.
We have invited all the nations of the earth to a
friendly competition of skill ; to this invitation many
have heartily responded. We have also invited the
whole family of man to come and participate in the
first banquet the world has ever dedicated to peaceful
industry and to intellectual triumphs. An event so
pregnant with high and humanizing good to all man-
kind should be informed with the most liberal—with
a purely cosmopolitan spirit. If it be otherwise—if
at the very threshold of the building dedicated to this
industrial banquet a tax be laid upon those who would
partake of its beneficial influence; a banquet, more-
()vex, to which thousands of payers have contributed
—the whole purpose of the Exhibition will forego a
grace which otherwise would endow it with a crown-
ing lustre.
Several foreign Governments have voted consider-
able sums to aid their people in the object of the Ex-
hibition, and I know that already in France and Ger-
many the idea of payment (for foreigners are espe-
cially accustomed •to gratuitous entry into all na-
tional buildings) has been canvassed in a spirit which,
as an Euglishman, I feel to be a reproach to my
country. It is this reproach, my Lord, that I beg
of you, by the consent of Parliament, to put away
from us.

But not alone for the stranger do I ask for free
admission. I ask it for the large body of our own
working classes, for those men whose skill, whose in-
dustry, will, I doubt not, be triumphantly represented
at the forthcoming congress of labour. Thousands
of these men—the sinews of the land—are at this hour
depriving themselves of many little household comforts
to enable them to visit London ; and the inevitable
cost of such a visit should not be increased by a further
tax. Therefore, I ask for the working men of Eng-
land a free entry into the structure dedicated to the
world's industry—free as the light that pervades it.
Again, such will be the magnitude of the Exhibi-
tion, that no one, two, or three visits will suffice to
the knowledge of its manifold objects. This will be
made sufficiently obvious, when it is known that to
make merely the circuit of the tables will be to make
a journey of no less than twenty miles. Hence, with
paid admission, the visitor will be tempted to spend a
day, when otherwise he would at various visits occupy
but a few hours. There would, in the gratuitous ad-
! mission, be a flowing stream of people, if I may use
I the figure ; whereas, with exacted payment, visitors
will become fixtures from morning till night.
I might, my Lord, dilate upon this subject; but I
hope that I have said sufficient to obtain of your
Lordship a patriotic consideration of the question—
Shall the Exhibition of the World's Industry be free
to those whom England invites to meet in generous
rivalry ? or shall we send forth invitations, and then
tax our guests ?—I have the honour to remain your
Lordship's obedient humble servant,

JOSEPH PAXTON.

CUSTOMS' REVENUE OF THE CLYDE PORTS.—It iS
gratifying to state that, notwithstanding the remission of
duties, the Clyde ports show an increase for the year 1850,
and now present a total of more than 1,000,000 L sterling per
annum. The return is as follows :
Receipts at Glasgow in 1849
1850

Increase at Glasgow ...
Receipts at Greenock in 1849 ...

... 645,669

... £5,101
... £371,992
... 383,487

Increase at Greenock ... £11,495
These are irrespective of the receipts at Port Glasgo.w, of
which we have not yet received a return. The rapid rise of
the Customs' Revenue at Glasgow is, we believe, unpa-
ralleled in the kingdom. In 1812 the Customs' revenue was
only 3,124/. ; in 1820, it was 11,600/. ; in 18s0,
it was 59,013/. ;
in 1840, it was 468,974/. ; while in the year just closed it
was 645,669/.
THE SCOTCII IRON TRADR._We understand that
Monday, in the George Hotel, George-square. The a very influential meeting of the iron trade was held on
ob-
ject of the meeting was to consider what means might be
deemed desirable to remove a strong prejudice found to
exist in England against the use of Scottish iron. An
effective committee was appointed fed. that purpose. These
gentlemen are to report to a subsequent general meet-
ing of the trade. The subject is of the highest impor-
tsnce to a standard branch of our national industry; and
we have every confidence in the steps taken by the com-
mittee being satisfactory in their results. Glasgow Daily

We have much pleasure in announcing that the
Order of the Garter has been conferred upon the Marquis of
