Application was yesterday made to a Merchant In the City

lax, a written promise to pay for a book, to be entitled, when

'tile statement is untrue :—The copyright of the " Post Office Di-

qty property in it. The purpose of the misrepresentation
any statement is suffi-

FREDERIC KELLY,

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Prel2ll.llM
Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climate!.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates 01 Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made
of into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fluty per ce the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

EPSOM RACES.—The Brighton Railway directory have
issued a prospectus of their arrangements for the race
week; it provides accommodation for all classes, and
now that their new station is completed, will prevent
much of the crowding and inconvenience complained of
at former meetings. The "million" will be tempted
with trains running every morning from five to seven
o'clock at Is. 6d., and from seven till nine at 2s. 6d.,
after that hour the usual fares will be charged. A
clerk will attend at Tattersall's on the Saturday and
Monday before the races, to sell return tickets, with
which we strongly recommend the subscribers, for their
own comfort, to provide themselves. The public will
also be enabled to procure tickets at the various book-
ing offices named in the advertisements from the 15th
_just to the 23d inst. From the vastly improved charac-
ter of the stakes to be run for each day a most brilliant
meeting is anticipated.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
WOOL TRADE, LOICDON, MAY B.—The imports of wool
since this day week have been very large, and if all can be got
ready for the ensuing series, the aggregate sales will be large.
The total arrivals are 20,554 bales, including 8,940 from Po
rt
Phillip, 3,630 from Sydney, 5,547 from Via Diemen's L,
1,392 from South Australia, 945 from the Cape of Good
Hope, and the rest from Mogadore and Bums Ayres.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, May 9. —There is not any change to
report this week. Sales continue to a moderate extent to supply
the current wants of the manufacturers. Prices are firm and
stationary.
Livestroot Nroor., BlaY B.—Fine wools.are very dull and
unsaleable. For blanket and other low kinds there is rather
more inquiry. Imports the past week are-4,615 Peruvian
and Alpaca ; 2 from Shark's Bay ; 164 Alexandria ; 6 Buenos
Ayres ; 91 Bombay.
TRADE or LEEDS.—We have no alteration to report in the
state of trade at our cloth markets, the transactions being about
the same as for some weeks past, but the deliveries to direct
order tend to keep down the stocks in 4e manufacturers'
hands. Prices, in consequence, remain firm. Business has
been rather better in the warehouses this week, more of the
wholesale buyers having been down than for several weeks past.
The foreign houses are also getting busier.
BRADFORD, MAY B.—Wool The wool market during the
week, has presented no feature of increased cheerfulness which
will enable us to vary the late monotonous tone of our reports.
Yarn—The yarn trade has been without any alteration, the
demand and price being about the same as at the beginning
of April. The attempt to obtain an advance for the May con-
tracts has generally failed, and until a more active demand
springs up, either for the Continent or for Lancashire, there
is little chance of the spinners' position being improved.
Pieces—The piece market has experienced no alteration
worthy of note ; stocks are accumulating, and are in some
hands very heavy.
TRADE OF MANCIIESTER, MAY B.—fhe market opened
rather firmer, and more disposition to purchase was mani-
fested, but as the day advanced it relapsed into its previous
state of depression. There was rather more doing in yarns.
There was no material alteration in pieces. The sales that
were effected were merely to supply immediate and pressing
wants. The want of confidence in prices thtt we have before
noticed continue to impede business. With the exception of
domestics and maddapollamas, which are rather plentiful,
stocks continue light.

HE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851.
How few of thevislors of the Great Industrial Exhibition
will consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to
produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now
grace the Crystal Palace ; and, besides those triumphs of mankind,
how many thousands of men, equally deserving of success, have,
from as many different causes, altogether failed to complete the
works upon which their whole energies have been expended for
months perhaps ' their whole means exhausted ! Crystal
Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry The ;
but the
wonders there accumulated are also the results of cares and anxieties.
unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce
Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Art,
science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would
progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see
at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering
care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi-
tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may
be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be
achieved. lie who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It
was this consideration that induced MeSers. E. MOSES and SON to
enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun-
dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only
eanyloy tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under
the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself mi
clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON
can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But
they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can
use, and the less profit they eme4the 1:11piC they can patroalse the
industry of -the country, thipig thin eOliAtint work and instant
payment for their:labour, nage' by these means they produce an
article atneariy halt the usual, and far better at that price, than has
ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a
large capital and numbers of people does not end:in the mere fact of
low prices ; for these very low prices for good clothing enable thou-
sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices
prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON echeapstablishedclothing ; their
system of trading it was impossible to obtain good
now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strong and good
clothing accorttin.4' to their circumstances. All classes can dress
sveli—all classes ought to dress well. It is worth the consideration
of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their
own dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor-
tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES
and SON invite all classes to see their enormous S
te atTOCK of
when they,
appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no mr,
have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent of a stock and
an establishment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do
"justice by description.

report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Eng
land.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—nutting
together 700/., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding. •
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,950 i. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
1 741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,991/. 15s. lid.

THE INCOME-TAX.
(From the Times.)
The labours of the Committee upon the income-tax can
have but one object. It will be their duty to ascertain whe-
ther or no the element of direct taxation is to remain per-
manently incorporated with our fiscal system. Hitherto an
impost of this nature has been the creature of emergency—a
makeshift—an expedient. The subject has never received
so much careful consideration as any single article of the
tariff. lies there been a question of laying a differential
duty upon coffee, upon sugar, upon timber- of relaxing the
Customs' rate chargeable upon tea or tobacco—and straight-
way blue books are compiled, and Chancellors of the Exche-
quer approach the solemn theme in a comprehensive and
philosophical spirit; the-nicest-machinery- is adjusted; the
most anxisue discriminatien exercised every best's-,
every lath, every grain, should be affected with its appro-
priate. charge, and no more. Nos, despite of the occasional
complaints of importers and copsignees, have the arrange-
ments at the Custom-house failed in their object. Occa-
sional injustice may, no doubt, have been done. Defec-
tive systems of discrimination may for a time have pre-
vailed, but, on the whole, much ingenuity has been
brought to bear upon the subject, and with mani-
fest success. But when we turn to the chapter of
direct taxation we find that the very opposite course
has been pursued. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say, that
had the Customs been levied upon all imported articles,
simply by reference to their weight, the system could not
have been more wild or unsatisfactory than the present method
of exacting a per centage deduction from all incomes without
reference to their sources or their drawbacks. It could
scarcely sound like the proposition of a reasonable being if
any Minister should propose to throw the diamonds from
Brazil and the tubs of sugar from the Antilles into the self-
same scale, and impose upon them an entrance duty accord-
ing to the bare suggestion of the register. It is more rational
to compel the British subjects of the Queen to return to the
assessor the precise amount of the money they can scrape to-
gether in the course of a current twelvemonth, no matter
how acquired, and to deduct like proportions from all their
incomes? Yet this is actually the course which has been
pursued in a country which, upon all commercial and fiscal
questions at least, affects to stand in the very vanward of
civilization, and in the middle of the nineteenth century,
when all economical problems might fairly be supposed to
have received their solution. Yes, so it is, the bare
ukase of the Finance Minister has been accepted
in place of bestowing any consideration upon
the true difficulties of the case. The result is
a reductio ad absui dum. If this is the best that can be made
of the matter, the obvious inference is, not that we are to
acquiesce in the monstrous inconsistencies of direct taxation
as at present practised in this country, but that we must do
without it altogether. Unless we can smooth down its in-
equalities we must cast from us for ever that soft pillow on
which Chancellors of Exchequer love to doze throughout a
financial year and to dream of a surplus. We must toll them
as we tell careless and extravagant young men, that they
must for the future depend upon their own resources, for the
patience and sympathy of their friends are fairly at an end.
We start, then, with this proposition, that the application
of the theory of direct taxation has never been officially
investigated. The knowledge and experience of men versed
in such matters have never been invited to the subject ; nor
can we readily admit that there are any insuperable diffi-
culties inherent in the subject. The daily routine of an in-
surance office offers many more striking problems than can
possibly be involved in an approximation to something like
justice in the assessment of incomes for the purpose of taxa-
tion. The truth is, that the difficulty of levying an equitable
income-tax upon the country consists in ascertaining the
means of those persons who are disposed to baffle inquiry,
not in the framing of four or five categories of liability. The
difficulty named is in no degree lightened, it is, on the con-
trary, considerably enhanced by the present system of indis-
criminate levy. It is a great thing to give a man who is
already predisposed to play fast and loose with the assessor
a just and undeniable ground of complaint against the sys-
tem of taxation to which he is subjected. The affair is
simply reduced to a contest of sharp wits. The Finance
Minister says, " I will take all I can get." The taxpayer
replies, " You shall have no help from me." Deception, if
not hallowed, is at least excused. The Treasury is not re-
plenished and the country is demoralised. The final result,
we most fully believe, is that the tax is not so productive as
it would be did anything like equity prevail in the
method of its assessment. Worse than this, the
minds of the people are kept in a perpetual
condition of discontent and uneasiness. Now o'
days very little sympathy is entertained for the
troubles of a Minister or the embarrassments of a party. We
are therefore at any moment exposed to the inconvenience
of a ho 'tile vote upon a point on which the maintenance of
our public credit depends. 'We have from time to time ventured
to express a very strong opinion upon the eonnd policy of tens-
pOrary—it may be even of permanent- submission to a cer-
tain amount of direct taxation in order that we may reap all
the benefits of a reformed tariff We are fully sensible that
the time had arrived when amended measures had become a
necessity, and direct taxation was the inevitable expedient.
But here we part company with Sir Charles Wood and his
colleagues. Every argument which tells in favour of direct
taxation at the present period of our political and fiscal his-
tory bears with double force against its unjust assessment.
To say that it should be maintained, is in other words to
enunciate the necessity of an equitable levy. Maintained it
will not be unless some fairer scheme can be devised by the
Committee than the one which actually obtains. The train
of consequences we are most anxious to avoid will then natu-
rally follow as effect follows cause. In arguing the case, we have
hitherto mainly relied upon that feature in it which is the
most revolting to common sense and to the ordinary feeling
of justice. When a man gravely affirms that the owner in
fee-simple of landed property to the value of 1,0001. per
annum, and the professional man who realises a similar cum
during a few precarious years of health and life, should be
equally taxed, there is an end of all argument. You might
as well reason with a Buddhist priest or a Japannese
Jum-
maboo upon their peculiar theories of belief. Some of them
base the propriety of the foul assessment upon the extent of
moral evil already in the world. Because there is so much
injustice, there ought to b a little more. Others affirm that
all incomes should be taxed alike, because here is question of
an income-tax. It is again affirmed, and with somewhat
more discretion, that even admitting the inequality of the
pressure upon precarious incomes, still incomes of a more
permanent nature are subject to a variety of burdens
from which they are free. Over-weighting on both
sides is the only method of obtaining final equi-
librium. Now, this is the argument of all others against
which we would most earnestly protest, because it proceeds
upon a certain show of reason. We protest against the
clumsy and unphilosophical idea of perpetuating one injus-
tice by the introduction of another. If any bodies of
under
our
fellow subjects are really aggrieved by undue pressure
our present fiscal system, by all means let their grievances
be remedied. The time has at length arrived when there
must be an end of arrogant assumption on the part of Minis-
ters and of the vague declamation of partisans on ques-
tions of finance. The attention of the most practical and ex-
perienced men in a nation of men of business has for many
years past been solely occupied in reviewing the duties upon
imports. The point may be said to be disposed of as far as
questions of principle are concerned, and we must now turn
our attention elsewhere. If the landowner, the fundowner,
the annuitant, are oppressed with any peculiar burden, now
is the time to put in their claims and to argue its removal
upon its own especial ground. We must hare done for ever
with the miserable mae-shift of over-taxing all classes in
turn. Upon the result of the labours of the present Com-
mittee much will depend. If they perform their duty con-
scientiously, we have good hope that at length the general
fiscal system of the country may be fairly reviewed and
justice done to all classes of her Majesty's subjects.
What has been called the harmonious injustice of the in-
come-tax has just been broken into, and one of its notes is
now out of tune. For nine years the Greeks besieged Troy
v,,
and for nine years five schedules of enemies have waged- sr
against the income-tax, with scarcely a hope off ucceeeisn
the
the tenth year Troy was taken. The wooden lorson
which
present instance is the surrender of the princip
to the tenant-farmers are assessed to the tax. NiThethreer OW:I to

of assuming the farmer's profit to be
p und in respect of his oc-
him threepence-halfpenny tilt- has always been thought
cupation. Till now, we reptea
of the bargain. In average
that the farmer had the beea
doubted that a tenant who
times it could
‘,ll,ard_ hardly by
ear to an ordinary landlord was
paid a rent of -apt-
about as well off as a surgeon or a clergyman with
his profession ; but the former paid
250/. a year from
no income-tax, and the latter about 71. ss. 10d. By
same rule, a tenant whose rent was 1,0001. a year, met
twhheo very probably kept hunters and carriages, paid only as
h income-tax as the man who cleared 5001. from his
much
profession, and who could not possibly keep more than one
horse and one humble 'vehicle on such an income. With all
their proverbial addition to grumbling, we must do tenant-
farmers the justice to admit that they have not complained
audibly of the income-tax till the last year or two. The ar-
rangement being in the nature of a composition, and prcceed-
ng upon an assumed average, had a dark side as well as a
ight side, and when the dark side began to show itself com-
plaints were soots heard from Schedule B. Those complaints
were repeated with increasing force till they formed the sub-
ject of various notices in the Commons ; and last night Sir
Charles Wood, frightened apparently by the restriction of the
income-tax to one year, by the approaching Committee of
inquiry, and by Mr. Disraeli's intimation that the case of the
tenant-farmer should not he included in the twelve-months'
truce, proposed and carried a clause releasing the farmer
from the terms of the compromise, now that they seem to go
against him. To tax a man for his profits, when
he has notoriously lost by the transactions of the
year, is, of course, ridiculously unjust, and, therefore,
little can be said against Sir Charles's concession; but
the concession cannot possibly stop here, for the tax
bears far more hardly on other classes than on the farrneori

eschew the original provisions of the Act and avail himself
the new clause. The tradesman will hardly tolerate that
the tenant-farmer, who is only another sort of, tandem:Lan,
shall have the advantage_ Dyer_ him. The likrter having,
succeeded in removing his grievance, another clams of suf-
ferers will soon make itself heard. There is an inequality
far greater than that of the tenant-farmer or the tradesman,
who paid the same whether he had lost or gained. It is
that of the man who only en,icays......hia_ income for life, or as
long as he is willing and able to work for it. We shall have
all these pressing in at the tail of the tenant-farmer, to whom
Sir Charles has shown the single piece of generosity to be
found in the history of the income-tax. How long the tiss,
will stand the universal outcry for amendment la more than.
we can say ; but, that outcry once raised, it is not HWY.':
to abate until the tax itself is abandoned. There is some-1
thing ominous in the very first innovation on the Income-taxi
Act, always supposed too] fragile for the.. touch of .the im-
prover.' We have now had it three times three yearaniint
with the present year, one-year more. How much longer a? 1, ,
the grateful contributors to the tax continue their
? It is said that a large body of the local commisP:r
sioners under the-Act are so painfully conscious of thiiaikale-
cealinents and evasions practised by psrsous liable ender
chedule 1), that they have ...only connived unOMN
the ideti that a temporary tax did not call for a very rigorotto
discharke of their duties.. But should the tax become per=
manent, or threaten a much -longer duration, they are re-
ported to have made up their minds to call for-- books- and
papers, and institute a much closer scrutiny. Till such a
course is talopteh we have no doubt whatever that the pre-
sent. tax is quite as much a tax upon conscience as it
,is upon
hearty ; and that many now return the whole or the half of
their, income, quite at discretion. Should such a scrutiny,
however,e
b instituted, a rather dangerous amonnt disaf-
fection would be generated. The extent to which the serew
is to be applied for the future is one of the questionameerved
for next year, which mayrbe safely predicted to he 'a crisis
in British finance. The year '1852 romises to be' if still
more important cpdch than 184'2, now celebrated for -the
commencement of the'free-trade policy, to which the income-
tax, first laid on in that year, served as a temporary. seat=

has been completed; and it certainly noes present itself' as a
very reasonable question how far the scaffolding is io Stand,

REGINA V. THE PUBLISHEE rEOPEIETOR OF THE
"MORNING HYRALD."
In this case the Court had granted a rule,
publisher and proprietor of the Morning Herald
eallingtocina htoirr •
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against them for a libel published in that journal respecting
Don Pacifico.
Sir F. THESIGEI: said he now appeared on the part of the
defendants, and wished to informahe Court that the articld
in question, which was a letter from the correspondent of
the Morning Herald in Greece, had been received on the eve
of the publication of the second edition of the paper, and had
been inserted without due consideration. He also wished to
state that every facility had been given by Don Pacifico for
the fullest investigation into the matters referred to in the
letter, and that the parties were now satisfied that, as to a
considerable portion of the article, there was no foundation
for the imputations which it conveyed against Don Pa-
citico. They were, therefore, anxious to express their dis-
approbation of them and their regret that they should have
inserted anything which occasioned him pain. They trusted
that, having made this acknowledgment, the Learned At-
torney-General would be willing to consent that the rule
should be discharged on the payment of the costs by the

Zr. 4. itsl9hyai:Olg

defendants.
The Ar ronsvr-GetzEnah said, the only point in the
Learned Counsel's statement which he felt it necessary to
remark upon was, that he seemed to limit his ackowledg-
ment to a considerable portion only of toe article. He knew
that the article contained a good deal of comment on the
political conduct of the prosecutor, of which, of course, lie
could not complain.
Sir F. TIIESIGER said, what he meant was to 'withdraw,all
which affected Don Pacifico's personal character, and to say
that he was satisfied that the imputations were without
foundation ; but he certainly meant to exclude the political
matters.

fendants were perfectly satisfied. He also added that the
defendants had acted with perfect propriety in the. matter.
Lord CAMPBELL said, the course adopted was honourable
to both the parties. The rule would be discharged on the
payment of the costs by the defendants.
MURRAY V. BOHN.
This case came before the Court upon a demurrer. The
parties are well-known publishers, and 'the action was
brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to recover
damages for the infringement of the plaintiff's copyright in
certain works of Washington Irving, the well-known Ameri-
can writer. It appeared on the record that these works were
originally published in England by the plaintiff, who had
purchased the copyright of the author; and the substantial
question now raised was, whether an English publisher, who
purchased the copyright of a work of a foreign author, and
published the work in this country, could maintain an ac-
tion for an infringement of his copyright ; or, in other words,
whether he had any copyright.. In the case of " Cocks r.
Purday" the Court- of Common Pleas had decided in ac-
cordance with the plaintiff's claim ' - and this Court, in the
case of " Boosey v. Davidson," had at about the same time
come to a similar conclusion; but both these decisions had
since been overruled by the Court 01 Exchequer, in the case
of " Boosey v. Purday."
Sir F. KELLY, in support of the demurrer, after reviewing
the history of the law of copyright and the decided cases,
said, that as the law of England afforded protection to the
lives, liberties, property, and even character of foreigners, he
was utterly unable to comprehend upon what principle it
was that they were net to be protected in the property
which they had in these fruits of their intellect. It was
said by the Court of Exchequer that it must be presumed
that the Legislature intended to protect the property of Bri-
tish aathors only in their writings, but there was nott4og in
any of the statutes which tended to support that presump-
tion. On the contrary, the object of those statutes was de-
clared to be the encouragement of learning, which would be
promoted as much by the protection of the works of
foreigners published in this country as by the protection of
the works of British subjects. He admitted that if the works
had been first published abroad they would not be entitled
to protection here.
Mn WILLES, who appeared in support of the defendant's
plea, :aid he understood that the fact was that several, if not
all of the works now in question, had been published in the
first in,tance in America. He wished, therefore, to be allowed
to mend his plea, in order that the defend Ant's case might be
placed on the record.
Sir F. KELLY said, of course he could not make any op-
position to that application.
Lord CaatrnEtL said, if the Learned Counsel applied for
leave to amend, he could do so on the usual-terms (payment
of costs).
Mr. I,Yrraxs said he would amend accordingly,

This address was signed by upwards of 100 practising bar-
risters, members of the society.
Sir J. ROMILLY replied in these terms : —Gentlemenr-At
any time, and on any occasion, such an address as this would
give me very high satisfaction ; but that value is augmented
to the greatest possible extent when I consider that it ,is pre-
sented to me by such a body of gentlemen as those whom I
see around me on the present occasion, when I recollect that'
we are all bound together by one common tie, in being mf:
