LONDON, BRIGHTON, and SOUTH-COAST
RAI LIWA Y.—NOTICE.
In consequence of the Directors of the South• Eastern Railway
Company having this day placed an obstruction on the ibis of rails
between Hastings and the St. Leonard's Station, the Trains of this
Company will not be able to ran, as advertised, to or from the new
station at Hastings. To prevent disappointment to the public, a four-
horse Omnibus will leave the Hastings Station, in the Priory, at the
times advertised for this Company's Trains to leave that Station, and
arrive at the St. Leonard's Station at the hours advertised for leav-
ing there. An Omnibus will also leave the St. Leonard's station for
Hastings on the arrival of the several Down Trains. There will be
no alteration in the times of arrival in London.

be allowed for the future ; the tax may be 20, aye 50
per. cent. on the valuation, but that signifies nothing;
it must be satisfied, so long as a single human being
finds a shelter within the dilapidated walls, or under
the crazy and broken roof. If any substitute should
be provided (and we totally deny the necessity), why
should not the principle of taxation—why should
not the system of taxation, in proportion to the valua-
tion, whatever it might be for the time being, be fully
carried out ?

A new class, too, that have hitherto been ex-
empted, are to be included in the new arrangement.
The occupiers of houses exceeding the value of 20/.
per annum, but which have not hitherto been subject
to the window duty, are to pay a certain sum-12s.
per annum each. It is calculated that this will pro-
duce the magnificent sum of 18,0001. per annum ;
and for that paltry sum, not worth taking into con-
sideration when there is nominally 1,000,000/. ster-
ling—but really 2,ooo,oool.—devoted to the reduc-
tion of the national debt, Sir CHARLES WOOD is wil-
ling to encounter the well-founded complaints of
thirty thousand new tax-payers, and to create a new
impost.

But we ask, if there is to be an income-tax, why
should the owners of house property be compelled to
pay eight per cent., while the proprietor
of broad acres of arable and pasture lands, or
the still more fortunate fundholder, who receives his
dividends to the day, aye, to the hour, who has not
to provide for the repairs of his property, or to make
allowances for unoccupied houses, or levanting tenants,
is allowed to escape with 3 per cent. only ? Is it so
desirable to prevent the erection of comfortable re-
sidences, or the employment of the builder, and to
drive capitalists to seek other modes of investment?
The employment of bricklayers, masons, carpenters,
joiners, slaters, &c., with their ordinary followers,
must appear to our worthy Chancellor of the Exche-
quer to be a matter especially impolitic, and to be de-
precated and averted by every possible expedient.
In our ignorance, we should have thought
that the man who gave employment to the working
classes was a national benefactor. Sir CHARLES
WOOD is desirous of making him more so, by making
him contribute more than three times as much, in
proportion to his means, as the fundholder or owner
of arable or pasture lands; and that although the
owner of house property is subject to every one of
the special burdens on real estate, of which his agri-
cultural brethren so loudly complain. So much for
that portion of the Budget which relates to the pre-
tended remission of the window-tax, the gross and
transparent humbug with which it is intended to
hoodwink the taxpayers of the country, who are
not, however, quite so gullible as our amiable friend
Sir CHARLES appears to fancy. We shall on a future
occasion see what is the real tendency of the other
quasi boons contained in his financial " SCHEME."
We thank you, Sir CHARLES, for the term, it is the
only one suitable to your Budget.

PROBABLE DEFEAT or THE MINISTERS ON THE
PAPAL AGGEESSIoN BILL—We can state with confidence
that an understanding is now in the course of being come to,
between the Conservatives and the Roman Catholic Mem-
bers, in terms of which, the parties to the combination feel
assured, that they will be able to throw out the Papal Ag-
gression Bill. The Conservatives are to oppose the measure,
on the ground that it does not go far enough ; while the
Roman Catholic Members are to resist it, on the ground that
Lord John Russell ought not to have brought forward any
such measure at all. This strange confederacy will be re-
inforced by a goodly number of the independent Liberals.
Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hume, with several other Members of
similar political opinions, will vote against the measure. The
precise course which Mr. Cobden, Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr.
Bright, and some others will adopt is not known, but it is
certain they will not vote with Ministers. It is thought that
some, if not all, of the Manchester school will abstain from
voting altogether. —Advertiser.

ATTACHED.—Lieut.-Colonel Davies, who (lied on the 11th
inst., aged 75 years, entered the army in 1799. In 1806 he

sieges of Cadiz, Tarragona, and Tarifa. On the 31st Decem-
ber, 1811, he commanded three companies of his regiment,

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wore es-

taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales
comprised 5,000 American, 150 Penne) and .41„,iiiinhatn,

sd. to sid.; and 20 Sea lalauslcitt:-Is.`ld. per lb. There
was no change, PX;Fept in low Americans, which were ;Id.
per lb. lower.—Railway Shares were dull, at rather lower
rates.
The six,, weeks' official average price of Wheat is
375. 11d, per quarter.
The probability of • an alteration in the United States
tariff during the present session is not so great, we learn
from private sources, as the statements in the papers
might induce many: to believe. Great exertions are
making by the variouSinterests which expect to be bene-
fited by protection, but 'the country at large is too pros-
perous to allow of any 'rash changes to suit classes and
not the masses. The accounts from Washington report
that—
" All the parties concerned, "insiders and outsiders, have
been, for the last week, indOtriously employed at Wash-
ington upon the tariff question°. The cotton-spinners—the
weavers of plain muslins—the calico printers—the manu-
facturers of woollens, worsteds, and cassinets, all have
their agents at the capitol, among the, outside delegations.
Pennsylvania, also, appears to be largely represented among
the lobby members, in regard to her coal mines, anthracite
and bituminous, and her iron interests, bloomeries, furnaces,
forges, and foundries.
" The Pennsylvanians seem to be taking the lead in the
House, while, from the report of the Finance Committee of
the Senate, it is manifest that dry goods have the precedence
in that body. Pennsylvania gives a very important vote in
the Presidential election. The result in the coal and iron
counties in 1848, for-Taylor and Fillmore, is a warning to all
free-trade candidates. Hence we are not surprised to learn
that General Cass is of the opinion that something ought to
be done for coal and iron. No doubt of it. Forty, fifty, sixty,'
or seventy per cent. on a home valuation would be exactly
the thing for coal and iron. Other interests might suffer;
but it is a pretty safe rule to attend to one thing at a time.
" The difficulty is in coming to an agreement. The Penn-
sylvanian delegation is in a minority in the House, or the
question would be speedily settled. They cannot strike an
adjustment or compromise between calico and cold iron, plain
mnslins for shirts, and Lehigh coal. Instead of aiding
each other, these domestic interests appear to be working
against each other—each jealous that the other will get the
advantage in the modifications to be made of the Act of 1846."
The establishment of Tribunals of Commerce we
have before alluded to under this head as a necessity of
the times, and the highly-respectable meeting held yes-
terday, at the Hall of Commerce, besides the immense
list of first-class signatures, shows the interest which
the mercantile community take in the matter. At
the same time there is much to be done, and all
traders, large or small, are bound to co-operate. A
highly-influential committee has been formed, and we
should strongly recommend the example of those who
brought about a reform in the bankruptcy laws as an
instance of what quiet but steady perseverance will ac-
complish. We trust the Liberal Members of the Legis-
lature will promptly come forward.
The termination of the inquiry into the alleged frauds
at the London Docks is satisfactory as regards the mer-
cantile honour of that company, but the evidence is con-
sidered to have justified the inquiry set on foot by the
Customs, as there has been a want of regularity on the
part of some of the dock officers.
Accounts of December 22, from the Cape of Good
Hope, state that some of the Gaiha tribe were likely to
support Sandilla in his resistance to the Governor, bui
that the energy of the latter would probably soon put
an end to the contest.
Later intelligence has again been received from Port
Natal, and we extract the following from the Natal In-
dependent of Dec. 5, and the Natal Witness of Dec.
6:—" Wheat had been grown both near D'Urban and
near Pietermaritzburg. The Government had laid out a
new village on the Upper Umganie, and 23 acre lots had
been sold by public sale, at prices varying from 101. to
20/. per lot. The main street was on the road to the
Sovereignty. A number of householders bad peti-
tioned the resident magistrate at D'Urban to convene a
public meeting for the purpose of forming a municipa-
lity, and the 18th December had been appointed accord.
inqly. Arrangements had been made for affording faci-
lities to cotton growers. Ginning and packing would be
done not only at D'Urban but also at the new villages of
Verulam, Richmond, and Pinetown, and eventually,
also, at Pietermaritzburg. The last of Mr. Byrne's emi-
grants (per Emily and per Devonian) were settling on
an estate called " Harmony," on the Illovo. The new
village of Pinetown was proceeding very favourably, and
the price for sections of 132 feet by 264 feet each, which
had been selling at 20/., payable at periods extending to
five years, had been fixed at 20/., payable in cash, six
months and twelve months. Harbour regulations had
been issued by the Government. Complaints are made
that too many unmarried males had arrived, and it was
urged that attention should be paid to this at home, with
a view to equalise the proportions.
The Bank of England has not made any advance in
its rate of discount.
