Looking to all the circumstances of probable legis-
lation in the present Parliament, I do not expect any
early revision approaching to the foregoing, in the
taxation and expenditure of the country ; but I be-
lieve the prevailing and growing opinions of the whole
people to be far more favourable to such financial re-
form, than the public sentiment was in favour of re-
pealing the Corn and Navigation Laws, when I gave
my testimony in favour f the free-trade measures
carried out by Sir Robert Nel, and against the Navi-
gation Laws repealed by the present Government.
I have, gentlemen, the honour to he your faithful
servant and representative, J. MACGREGOR.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.
COUNTERS.-VERTICAL SPACE.

The following is a copy of the answer sent to those
persons who have applied to the executive committee in
reference to counters or vertical space:—
"In answer to numerous inquiries which have been
made respecting the extent to which any counters will
be furnished to exhibitors by the Commissioners, the
vxecutive committee have to state as follows:

" In all those saes where an exhibitor does not care
either to exercise his own taste in displaying his articles,
or to use the power of regulating the amount of vacant
space immediately surrounding them, as he might do by
building up steps or shelves, affixing brackets, &c., but
is content to have his articles laid out on a plain deal
counter of some uniform width and height, the executive
committee will be prepared to furnish such a uniform
plain deal counter.

"It must be obvious that it will be impossible to deter-
mine what sort of counters will be thus adopted for each
class, or the actual position of them, until the executive
committee are made acquainted with the extent to which
exhibitors purpose to avail themselves of the privilege
of gratifying their own taste, and arranging their
articles in their own ways. The principle which will
guide the executive committee is, first, to leave every
one to please himself, subject to general control, and
then to act on behalf of those who are indifferent, unable,
or decline to act.

" It has bean a'ready explained that vertical wall or
partition space may be obtained by suspending fabrics
over lines, &c.; by hanging draperies from the
girders. In all cases where the executive committee are
called upon to provide vertical space, &c., and where
these means will suffice, they will be adopted; bat until
the articles are seen and actually deposited in the build-
ing, the executive committee will not be able to define
to what extent they will provide more substantial modes
of obtaining vertical space.
" Some misapprehension has existed that an exhibitor
having an allotment of vertical space, is thereby neces-
sarily entitled to some indefinite amount of horizontal
space.

sistently with justice to those exhibitors who have allot-
ments of floor or counter space; but the extent to which
this may be possible cannot be defined until it is seen
how far exhibitors having vertical space, and exhibitors
having horizontal space in the same class, are disposed
mutually to acoommodate she another. When all ex-
hibitors who desire to have their own way and wo;kw...

THE DAUGHTER OF NIGHT
A STORY OF THE PRESENT TIME.

By. S. W. FLLLOYI, Esq.

" One of the most remarkable works of fiction the season has pro-
ducA. Scenes are delineated with a power perfectly appaling.
There are dark and terrible portions ; and on the ether hand, strength
of diction, and great powers of description "—Dispatch.
" The situations are conceived and described with striking power.
There is a touch of humour, a strain of pathos, a mastery over the
deeper feelings of our nature, which shows a wide range of accom-
plishment."—Weekly News.
