ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SHIP-BUILDING.-THE
SHIP COUNTESS or SEAFIELD.—The public journals have
been filled during the past month or six weeks with the feats
of the Oriental, American ship, of 1,060 tons, which, in her
last run, carrying a cargo of about 1,100 tons, made the pas-
sage from Canton to London in 98 days. At the time of her
arrival her voyage was contrasted with that of the Reindeer,
an American clipper, of 328 tons, which. sailed from China
about the same time, which, with her copper hanging lose
about her, and carrying 500 tons of cargo, was only beaten
five days in the passage from Anjer ; and al.o with that of
the John Bunyan, another Aberdeen ship. which, in the pre-
vious spring, when perhaps more favourably situated as re-
gards the monsoons, made the voyage from Shanghae--three
days' soil farther than Canton—in 99 days, and which,
though registering only 470 tons, brought about 720 tons of
cargo. We havejust learned of another voyage made by an
Aberdeen built ship, which, at all evens, equals, if it does
not surpass, that of this same celebrated Oriental. The
Countess of Seafield—built by an Aberdeen firm, and com-
manded by Captain Leask, an Aberdeen captain—left Woo-
sung, about 1,000 miles farther up the country than Canton,
on the Bth of October last, and arrived in the London Docks
on Monday afternoon, the 20th instant—thus making the
voyage in 102 days from port to port. The Countess of Sea-
field, which belongs to our enterprising townsman, Bailie
Adamson, registers 520 tons, and brings a cargo of over
700 tons of tea and silk.—Aberdeen Journal.

ROBBING THE LAWYERS.—During the holding of
the late borough sessions one of the barristers had his gown
stolen out of the robing-room; and the deputy recorder had
his hat taken out of the same place, so that when the court
broke up, at eleven o'clock on Friday night, he had to send
to Mr. Bissington'e, in Briggate, for a new one, before he
could leave the Court-house.—Leeds Mercury.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—IS CONSIIMPTION, BRONCHITIS,
ASTIIMA, &c., Cult. !—A Report of some of the most formidable
forms of Disease of the Throat, Lungs, Heart, and Stomach, is just pub-
lished for the Committee, by Dr. Cronin, M.D., Physician to the Lei-
cester-square Dispensary for ConsumPtlon,&c.—" The success fo Dr.
Cr onin's peculiar treatment in the cure of t hose affections which
have hitherto generally baffled every attempt at cure, although the
first talent had been applied to, sad the most consummate skill had
been exerted for that purpose, is most satisfactorily shown in this re-
port."—Preface.—Wertheira and Ce., Paternoster-row ; Hughes, st.

Last evening a monster public meeting of the
ratepayers of the extensive parish of St. Pancras,
took place at the spacious Vestry-hall, King's-road,
Camden-town, for the purpose of Petitioning the
Legislature, and taking such other measures as might
he deemed advisable to secure " a total and immediate
abotition of the window duties."
Mr. Churchwarden Fraser presided. There were
large deputations present from all the metropolitan
parishes, and among the gentlemen present were Lord
Dudley Stuart, 11LP., Mr. Bell, M.P. Mr. Church-
warden Baker, Mr. Nicholay, and some leading mem-
bers of the St. Pancras and Marylebone vestries The
spacious room, calculated to hold at least 2,000 per-
sol., was densely crowded.
A letter was read from Sir B. Hall, apologising
for his absence, and promising to vote for the entire
and unconditional repeal of the window-tsx. The
Hon. Baronet also expressed his willingness to oppose
the imposition of a house-tax in its place.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, explained
that the reason the parish of St. Pancras, second to
none in the metropolis, had not previously convened a
public meeting, was that it was felt advisable to wait
until the verge of the opening of Parliament, when
the subject was being agitated all over the kingdom.
As a medical man he was opposed to the continuance
of the tax upon social and sanitary grounds.—(Hear,
hear.) Darkness and dirt, ignorance, sickness, and
crime certainly went hand in hand, and nothing so
contributed to this and to the physical depression of
the poor portion of the people as the window-tax. If
he wished to show the oppressive character of the
window duties, he need only refer to the case of the
MetrOpolitan Buildings, within a short distance of that
place. In that institution there were 108 different

sets of ap irtments, varying in price from 3s. 6d,
to 65. 6d. per week, and yet they had to pay 7f,i.
per week for each set of rooms for window•tax.—

(Shame, shame.) He took this statement from the
report of the Metropolitan Associstioa for Improv-
ing the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes, and, as
a proof the injustice and partiality of the tax, it said,
It is the case, too, that sets of rooms in the
inns of court, or the Albany, in Piccadilly, having as
many windows, and being parts of larger houses,
would pay only to the extent of lid. per week out of
a rental of from 801. to 100/. per annum, while the
tenants of the Metropolitan Buildings pay 7kd. per
week out of a rent of from 13/. to 161. per annum."—
(Shame, shame.) After entering his protest against
any attempt to introduce a house-tax in lieu of a
window-tax, the Chairman called on

----- Mr. BEETTINGIIAM, who mored- the first resolu•
tion
" That light and air being necessary to existence, and
the free gitt of God to man, it is the opinion of this
meeting that to tax these essentials is in opposition to
every principle of morality; that, in the language of our
forefathers, it is a badge of slavery, and a reproach to a
people boasting of their freedom. That this meeting,
therefore, calls upon the Commons' House of Parliament
to abolish for ever, without any substitute or modifica-
tion, the impious, odious, and tyrannical tax on win-
dows, and that a petition be presented to Parliament to
this effect."
Mr. HEALEr seconded the resolution.

Lord D. STUART said that they were all agreed that
the window-tax must be abolished, and uncondition-
ally.—(Cheers.) This duty having been imposed
200 years ego, having been altered and increased
many times since, and having been borne so long, he
must say that it was high time it should be done
away with, and for ever.—(Cheers.) He thought
they might consider themselves pretty safe as far as
the window-tax was concerned, but if they did not
show a determined front, and crowd the table of the
House of Commons with petitions, and block up
Downing-street with deputations, they might rely
upon it that a house tax would be substituted for the
window tax, and, if that were allowed, they would be
very little better off than they were at present. What
they wanted was more economy and less expense.
There was at this moment a large surplus in the Ex-
chequer, and it was estimated that the Great Exhibi-
tion of this year would increase that surplus by an
additional 2,000,0001. If there ever was a time when
it was incumbent upon Government to repeal taxes,
that time was the present, and of all taxes, certainly
the window-tax had the tirat claim to be repealed.
Mr. BELL, M P., was loudly cheered. He thought
that there never had been a subject upon which the
people of England had been so unanimous as the one
now under consideration, for all private and political
le.ling was merged in the strong opposition to this
tax. He, in common with almost every other person,
felt confident that this impost would have been re-
pealed last year ; but, in their confidence they
neglected to agitate the question. How did the Go-
vernment serve them ? Why, they added insult to
injury ; for, instead of taking the duty off light, they
actually took the tax off bricks, which were employed
to block out the light.—(Cheers and laughter.) The
Hon. Gentleman concluded by recommending an or-
ganiz,d system of petitioning.
Mr. Nlc OLAY, of Marylebone, said that to call
the present a Government desirous of sanitary reform
was ridiculous while they persevered in continuing
this tax, which was the greatest impediment to sani-
tary improvement.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Churchwarden BAKER having offered a few
observations against the tax, on medical grounds, the
resolution was put and carried unanimously, amid
loud cheers. _ _

Other gentlemen then addressed the assembly, and,
after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting,
which was most enthusiastic throughout the proceed-
ings, separated.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the
united parishes of St. Andrew-above-Bars and St.
George-the-Martyr, for the unconditional repeal of
the window-tax, was also held yesterday evening in
the hall of the workhouse, Gray's Inn-lane. It was
tolerably well attended. Mr. M'Christie took the
chair, and the proceedings commenced by reading
letters of excuse for non-attendance from Lord
Dudley Stuart, Mr. Wyld, Mr. Williams, Mr. Joseph
Hume, and Mr. Thomas Duncombe.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that no doubt
this meeting was aware that this tax was instituted
to pay the expenses of a ruinous war, and that in-
stead of its being repealed at the peace which fol-
lowed, every successive Minister had continued it.
(Mr. Wakley here came on the platform, and was
received with loud cheers.) He differed from Mr.
Wakley, who had stated at another meeting that the
fault lay with the people. He was of opinion that
the Members were the persons to be blamed. Lord
Duncan would have succeeded in his motion last
session if Mr. Wakley and Mr. Duncombe had at-
tended in their places. The very small majority by
which it was negatived would not have existed if their
Members had done their duty. But he trusted that
the time had come for the repeal of this tax, even
without the assistance of Finsbury. He admitted that
taxation was necessary, but it must be equal, and he
doubted if this would be effected with the present re-
presentation. Mr. M'Christie continued at some
length in this strain, until interrupted by cries of
" Question," " Time," " Order."

During the confusion Mr. WARLEY rose'and said,
he trusted that the meeting would allow the chairman
to proceed.

The CHAIRMAN concluded by observing that if he
had time he could show them the great supineness of
their representatives.

Mr. AOGESS rose to move the first resolution, and
said that he was thoroughly opposed to the tax, but
he agreed with Mr, Wakley, and his firm conviction
was that the fault lay with the people. He complained
of the tax on various grounds, and concluded by read-
ing the resolution condemnatory of it, on the ground
of its inequality and general injurious tendency.
After some discussion the resolution was carried.

Mr. EVANS next moved a resolution deprecatory
of the tax on sanitary grounds. He condemned its
partial bearing, and illustrated this by the statement
that farmers paying a rent of less than 2001. per
annum were exempt from the tax. Members of Par-
liament, who were generally landholders, took care of
their own tenants. He strongly recommended re-
ductions in the expenditure to meet the exigencies o f
the case.
motion, and insisted
Mr. T. STEEL seconded the
that Mr. Wakley deserved the approbation of the
meeting. He thought that if they did not Press the
Ministers to redeem their pledge by doing away with
the income-tax, they could hardly refuse them this

boon.
was then carried.
a IDI r t i °n
moved a resolution to the effect, that
as ilhretwaPrset:°u temporary tax, it ought to have been before
repealed,
, and that, as the finances were now pros-
perous, was no longer any ground for its con-
tinuance.
Mr. HALL seconded the motion, which was also
carried.

Mr. WHITE moved, and Mr. DIXON seconded,
That a petition be founded on the foregoing resolu-
tions,.and he presented by one of the Members tor Fins-
bury to the 'louse of Commons."
Mr. `VARLET rose and sai i, that certain accusa-
tions had been made agaiost him, and, further, that
they had come from the chairman. He would not now
reply to them by appealing to his conduct for the last
20 years in Parliament; but if the chairman would
convene a special meeting, and then repeat his state-
ments, he would attend, at any inconvenience or any
