TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUS,
SELL, FIRST LORD OF THE THEA-

SURY, &c. &c.
My Lord,—Permit me, with the greatest deference,
to suggest a mode of dealing simultaneously with the
property and income tax—and with the franchise;
which, on examination, will be found, I believe, prac-
tical, simple, and effective.
It has now come to be admitted by, I believe,
almost all classes of politicians, that the payment of
rates and taxes should confer the right of seeing to
its disbursement.
Then let the income-tax and franchise go together;
let the income-tax be extended to all persons having
an income of say .50/.—or, if you will, 401. or 301. a
year ; and let the payment of the tax confer the pri-
vilege of a vote for a Member of the Legislature—
the ratio or per tentage of the tax to be by a gra-
duated scale.
The same machinery which collects the tax now
would do it then ; the revenue would be increased,
enabling the Minister to remit such imposts as pressed
must heavily upon industry, and all classes would be
benefited.
There might, also, be added to the qualification, the
obligation that each voter (with certain exceptions)
should be a householder of a certain duration, and
rated to the poor; also that he should have belonged
for a given number of months to some institute, or
have a certain sum standing in his name fur a specific
period in a savings'-bank.!
But these individual conditions I do not press, as,
It will occur to your Lordship, there are grave con-
siderations pro and con., which may be urged on both
sides.
The mode proposed would give a substantial class
of electors, and would, in respect of the franchise,
satisfy, in all probability, the must liberal advocates of
political extension.
I will not here refer to other points of political
reform which agitate the public mind at the present
time, soy simple object being to lay before your Lord-
ship a plan for the extension of the franchise, which,
I believe, would be found effective and satisfactory.
Trusting it may be deemed worthy of your Lord-
ehip's consideration, I have the honour to remain,
my, Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
E. WARD JACKSON.

A FAIR DAY'S WAGES FOR A FAIR
DAYS W 011,1;..

TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUV
Sie,—As you kindly indulged me with space for a
letter upon the subject of " the cheap lost" I hope to
be similarly indulged upon the subject of "a fair
day's wages for a fair day's work."
To labour, as I stated in my letter upon the cheap
loaf, we should look fur a measure of value ; this is, I
believe, admitted by our best authorities upon the
science of political economy. Adam Smith does, if
I remember rightly, complain of authorities who
admit such truth, but who lose sight of it as they pro-
ceed with their subject, regarding, at last, the precious
metals only as measures of value and as wealth. 1
have not yet lost my wits, nor am I likely so to do,
in the glitter of gold and silver. To labour, then, I
hold for a measure of value, and wealth I recognise
in very many otlit-r products of industry besides
gold end silver ; I am even so vulgar as to prefer
butter or cheese to tinsel.
Labour being assumed as the measure of value, and
food a function of labour, being essential to its sup.
port ; for if the animal man be nut fed he cannot
work. Now, to express labour in terms of food is
what I propose to do.
To illustrate the proposition I will take the case of
a husbandman, one of the " unskilled," but, neverthe-
less, a most useful member of the community, as by
his labour we are provided with the first necessary
of life—food. The wages of a husbandman, of ordi-
nary strength, should, to maintain him in good work-
ing condition, be four-thirds peck (that is a peck
and a third of a peck) of wheat, of medium quality,
for a day's work of ten hours' duration. This ex-
pressed in terms of the expanded currency of the
State, which I and very many others confidently hope
to see, would bs thirty pence, the average price of
wheat being sixty shillings per quarter. If wheat
should rise to sixty-two shillings per quarter the
day's wages in money would be thirty -one pence; if
wheat should decline to fifty-eight, shillings per
quarter the day's wages would be twenty-nine pence ;
two shillings variation in the price of the quarter of
wheat making exactly one penny difference in the
day's wages—the wages in each case being the worth
of four-thirds peck of wheat. Piece-work to he paid
fur in proportion, affected, as it should be, by the
ability of the workman ; work over time to be paid
tor at the rate of threepence per hour : these are
matters of detail.
It should be understood, that as the labourer
would be paid in money he would be quite at liberty
to purchase with it any sort of food, or any other
necessary of life ; it is not insisted upon that he should
be fed upon bread only, a portion of animal food is
required by most labourers to support their strength,
so that they may do justice to their employer by
giving in return for a fair day's wages a fair day's
work.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.

EXHIBITION ON THE SERPENTINE.
Since Wednesday the departure of articles of vertu
and of ingenuity from the Crystal Palace, have been
varied and multifarious ; locomotives have been tugged
away by teams of horses, because there were no rails
upon which they could leave ; ecerial machines have
been quietly packed up and carted away because the
breezes were not propitious for wafting them and
their ingenious projectors to their havens ; and the ma-
jority of inventions exhibited have returned to the
possession of their owners untested, though perhaps
stamped with the imprimatur of jurors, and their ac-
credited excellences acknowledged by honorary
medals. All, however, is not gold that glitters, and
inventions which may appear very feasible in models,
or on paper, often prove inefficient when put really to
the test. The recent loss of multitudes of valuable
lives in the Orion and other vessels having invested the
subject of escape from shipwreck and drowning with
intense interest, every appliance for preventing, in
future, such sacrifices of life, requires that its effi-
ciency should be tested before it is entitled to the
confidence of the public. The most irecent patent
in connexion with this important subject is that of
W. R. Lawrie, Esq., of Glasgow, whose licensees are
the Messrs. W. S. Silver. and Co., of Cornhill, who
exhibited a variety of ingenious appliances for this
purpose in the British naval department, in the
south-east transept gallery of the Exhibition. The in-
ventions referred to, consisting of articles of deck
and cabin furniture, such as mattresses, pillows,
ottomans, boat and deck cushions, life belts,
buoys, boat floats, &c , were removed on Saturday
afternoon from the building to the Serpentine.
A model of a life-boat, designed and executed
by W. R. Lawrie, and T. and W. Forrest,
of Limehouse, was first exhibited ; and,
although it bad become somewhat leaky by
several months' exposure to the sun, on being filled
and turned bottom uppermost, it righted itself in less
than a minute. Several boatmen dressed in Gurn-
seys, duck trousers, &c., and wearing the patentees'
life belts, then proceeded to capsize a boat, rigged
with duck floats, which prevented its sinking,
although one of the men, after righting, got into her
to bail her out. The pillows, mattresses, &c., having
been thrown overboard, the men, who found they could
not sink with the life-belts on, got astride of the float-
ing articles, or reposed themselves at full length,
cracking jokes wiih the lookers-on who were on the
banks of the Serpentine. One of mattresses formed a
boat, into which one of the men entered, who was not
only quite at ease in his buoyant barque, but who
crossed and re-crossed the Serpentine with great ra-
pidity. The smallest mattress was capable of sup-
porting six persons, and the largest would in an
emergency keep twenty persons above water for an in-
definite period of time, without that liability to col-
lapse which attends all artificially inflated appliances.
The boatmen, who are old icemen of the Humane
Society, were surprised and delighted with the buoy-
ancy of these requisites of deck and cabin furniture,
and declared, as regarded the belts, that they had
never before worn such powerful preventives of sink-
ing, accompanied by a convenience of formation
which allowed them free exercise of their limbs.

LONDON, MONDAY

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Coles Child, coal merchant, of King's-cross,
Mr-2110watt, the secretary to the Great Northern
Railway Company, and George Wright, the carman,
were summoned before Alderman Wilson, for de-
livering three tons of coal with four unjust 561 b.
weights ; one was 6oz. short, another 150 z., a third
llb., and the other as much as 11b. 3Fez. deficient, and
none of them were stamped.
M. Child, in answer to the summons, stated that the
Great Northern Railway Company found carts and
weights, and put in a contract between them and a
Mr. Williams to the following effect :
" The contractor to provide proper weighing machines
and weights (as required by the Act 1 and 2 Victoria,
cap. 104) for transmission with the coal waggons and
carts—viz., four weights of 581bs. each and sufficient
small weights to weigh the sack, to adjust and keep the
same in a correct state, and to be responsible for any
fines or legal expenses which may arise from their not
being so."
So that if the weights were deficient he would plead
guilty, and whatever fine the alderman imposed he
would look to Mr. Williams (the party with whom
the above contract was entered into by the company)
for. He' was informed that owing to the increased
pace at which, the carts now travelled the weights
had lost by continually rubbing together, so that the
deficiency could only be attributed to fair wear and
tear.
The inspector produced the weights. In two of
them the adjusting lead was all gone, and none of
them were stamped.
Mr. Child said the weights were all new in June
last, and bore the Guildhall stamp.
Alderman WiLsoN said he could not believe that a
561 b. weight could fairly lose lib. 3oz in a few
months' wear. He did not suppose that Mr. Child
was cognizant of the deficiency, but the law had very
properly made the seller together with the owner of
the cart and the carman equally answerable, in order
that the public should have honest weight in their
coals. He could only presume that the lead had
been stolen, but that did not signify, for there was no
excuse for false weight. This was the worst case of
the kind he bad seen for a long while, and considered
the carman as much to blame as any one in taking
out such weights. It was true that the secretary's
name was on the cart, but that, so far from excusing
' him, only rendered him legally liable with the rest.
It may be supposed he had trusted to others to see
that proper weights were sent out, still it would be
necessary to infl;ct a small fine upon him, to let every-
body know that the great companies must comply with
the full provisioee of the law. Mr. Child had been
fined on a former occasion 203., and he (Alderman
Wilson) would hava thought that ought to have made
him extra careful. It did not matter if the weights
were new in June; if they were found short they
should be replaced, daily if necessary, but certainly
they should have a daily inspection, if the wear and
tear could be anything like what Mr. Child had stated
it to be.
Mr. Child said he would mike the contractor pay
the fine, according to the conditions cf the bond ; but,
at the same time, he would take care it should not
OMIT again.
The carman was then called, who said he had no-
thing to do with the weights.
Alderman WILSON slid he (defendant) should be
taught that he hail everything to do with them, and
that he was liable to 101. penalty for taking out false
weights. He would fine Mr. Child 20,., the carman
205., and the secretary 55., as a caution or warning
to look to the weights in future. The Alderman said
he bad not done this to throw any obstacle in the way
of the sale of inland coals. He thought they were a
great public benefit; but he must take care that the
buyers bad their proper weight
Mr. Child said the demand was so great that he
bad more orders on his hands than the pits could
supply for the next six weeks, and that the company
would be unable to meet the demand for sometime.
Alderman WinsoN said he was not at all surprised
to hear it. The Silkstone coals
.were the coals he
brought into public notice in the year 1839, when he
was Lord Mayor, and they were then only known as
" Lord Mayor's coals," and may failed because the
demand was a thousand times greater than the supply.
During the year he was iu the 2ansion-house he paid
but 225. per ton for these coals, while the public were
paying the enormous price of 31s. and 38s. for Lord
Londonderry's. That nobleman addressed a letter to
him (Alderman Wilson), endeavouring to show that
no Wall's-end coals could be brought into the mar-
ket to pay the owner at less than 335. per ton. Yet
he had since that had his Lordship's coals delivered at
his house in St. Paul's Churchyard at 225. per ton.
He believed the Yorkshire (Silkstone) coals equal to
any Newcastle coals that came to the market, but he
would caution those who wished to buy them to make
sure they were " Silkstone," or it would be just what
it was in 1839. lie took credit to himself in having
broken up the combination first amongst the coal-
factors, and next between the pitowners, and hence
the reduction in the price of coals. He would also
tell the public that all Yorkshire coals were not
equally good ; but let them encourage the inland
coals (there were many excellent coals besides the
Yorkshire), and they would still continue to have a
gradual reduction.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Argent, a tall portly man, was charged with
the following scandalous outrage :
It appeared from the statement of the complainant,
' a little girl named Anne Humphreys, only 12 years
of age, that having been sent out by her parents upon
an errand at seven o'clock on the preceding evening,
she was returning to their house in Garden-row,
Bethnal-green, when, upon reaching the corner of a
street called Pollard's-row, she was stopped by the
prisoner, who asked her if she would carry a small
parcel for him to a house in the neighbourhood, and
he promised to give her a shilling for her trouble. She
consented to do so, and, after taking her a short dis-
tance, the prisoner led her into a public-house or beer-
shop, where he called for something to drink, and
pressed her to take part of it ; she, however, refused
to do so, and the prisoner then walked on with her
until she found herself in the London Fields, Hack-
ney, across the greater portion of which he took
her, until they came to a part which Was very lonely,
when, upon her objecting to go any further, he
took her up in his arms, and carried her
a short distance; but she was so terrified,
that she began to scream loudly, and the pri-
soner to stop her cries thrust something like a pitch
plaister all over her mouth and face. he then flung
her down upon the ground, and was proceeding to
acts of the grossest description when she contrived to
push the plaister off her mouth, and again screamed
as loud as she could. The prisoner, notwithstanding
persisted in his infamous conduct, and, after threat-
ening her with a knife which he told her ho had in
his pocket, pulled out some instrument and swore
that he would job out her eyes with it if she did not
keep quiet. This, however, only had the effect of
increasing the girl's fears, and she screamed so
loudly that the prisoner, upon hearing footsteps ad-
vancing rapidly towards them, became alarmed for
his own satety, relinquished his grasp of her, and hur-
ried off in an opposite direction.
Mr. Frederick Ricketts, a clerk in a mercantile
house in the City, stated that while crossing the
fields at the time in question to reach his own resi-
dence, he heard loud shrieks in a child's voice, and
while hastening off in the direction in which they ap-
peared to proceed, the little girl rushed towards him
in a state of extreme terror, and asked him to save
her from some man who had grossly ill-used her.
He questioned the child as to the conduct that had
been pursued towards her, and on learning the par-
ticulars hurried with her across the fields in pursuit
of the prisoner, whom they at length caught sight of,
and, the little girl having at once identified him as the
man who had so assailed her, he followed behind him,
and kept him in sight until a constable made his ap-
pearance, when he immediately apprised the officer of
what the prisoner had been guilty of, and gave him
into custody.
The prisoner earnestly declared that the whole of
the girl's story was a pure fabrication ; but
Mr. D'EYNCOUBT ordered him to be committed
until that day week for the completion of the deposi-
tions:

LAMBETH.
John Mason, alias Barrett, alias Farr, alias Blind
Johnny, an active member of a notorious gang of
begging-letter impostors, was charged with obtaining
a Post-offioe order for 4/. 19s. .sd. from the Countess
of Shaftesbury by false pretences.
Luke Reaney, an officer belonging to the Mendicity
Society, deposed, that in consequence of a letter re-
ceived from the superintendent of police at South-
ampton, stating that a gang of begging-letter writers
were engaged in forwarding letters to the nobility
and gentry, dated " Priory-lodge, Southampton,"
and written as if by the Rev. William John Butler,
he, from this and other information, on that morning
attended at the post-office in Mount-street, Lambeth.
He had not been thero very long when the prisoner
made his appearance, and presented a Post-office order
for 41. 19s. sd. for payment. The keeper of the post-
office asked him if ho was the Rev. Mr. Butler, the
person to whom it was made payable, and he said he
was. Witness then made his appearance, when the
prisoner repeated that he was the Rev. Mr. Butler,
but he told him it was of no use his assuming such
airs with him, for he knew him too well as a

A philosopher stepped on board a ferry-boat to cross a
stream. On the passage he inquired of the ferryman if
he understood arithmetic? The mau looked astonished.
" Arithmetic! No, sir."
" I am very sorry, for one quarter of your life is gone."
A few minutes after he asksd—
" Do you understand mathematics?"
The boatman smiled and replied—" No."
" Well, then," said the philosopher, " another quarter

pitched for sale. Prices were from 40s. to riSs. per cwt. The
