THAMES.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A TAX COLLECTOTL—MT. Wil-
liams, a respectable tradesman, waited upon Mr. Yardley,
to complain of the improper behaviour of a tax collector in
the district. The applicant said he was called upon on
Wednesday evening last, after six o'clock, by the collector
of the district, who demanded 3s. 10d. for income-tax
and the house-tax. The collector was told it had been
paid, on which he demanded the receipt. It could not be
found, on which the collector, who brought a broker with
him, said he should distrain for the amount. Rather than
be inconvenienced by the removal of his goods the amount
was paid under protest. A receipt for one of the taxes, to
the amount of 10s. lOd., had since been found, and it
was taken to the collector, who offered him the
money, but detained the receipt. The income-
tax was never paid without the house-tax, or
the house-tax without the income-tax, and his (Mr. Wil-
liams') wife was certain she paid both together in October
last. The collector was asked to refund the whole of the
£1 3s. 10d. paid a second time, but he refused to do so.

Mr. Yardley—Does the collector still detain the receipt ?
Mr. Williams—Yes, "sir.

Mr. Yardley recommended the applicant to write imme-

diately to the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes at Somer-
set-house, and if they did not express strong disapprobation
of the collector's conduct he (Mr. Yardley) should be very
much astonished. It was an atrocious piece of carelessness
on the part of the collector to call for taxes already paid, a
second time. He would give no opinion whatever of the
subsequent conduct of the collector in this transaction. He
directed Smith, an officer of the court, No. 415 K, to wait
upon the collector, and call upon him to do Mr. Williams
that justice which he deserved.

A telegram has been received, dated Calcutta,
Feb 12, announcing the close of the Five-and-a-half per
Cent. Loan on that day. The advices by letter are to the
Bth of February, and at that date the price both of the
Five-and-a-half and Five per Cent. paper had advanced to
a point which, at the existing rate of exchange, would
leave a loss on the shipment of either to England.
A banking correspondent, who has lived for 24
years in the midst of a busy manufacturing population of
120,000, states that he has never known an expression of
approval more unanimous than that which in his district
has greeted the new Bankruptcy Bill of the Attorney-
General.

THE Two STRANDED OUTWARD-BOUND SHIPS
IN TILE CIIA.NNEL.-FOLKESTONE, Saturday.-All efforts
have failed to get off the two outward-bound ips Wagoola,
for China, and Wcodcote, for Adelaide, which went ashore
between this port and Dungeness during the snow storm on
Saturday night. A large quantity of their cargo has been
got out, apparently uninjured, and sent on by rail to Lon-
don. Captain Russell has been sent down by the under-
writers to superintend the operations, and it is believed that
the larger portion of the property will be saved. It is also
thought that the ship may be Ranted next spring tide, but
by some this is considered some what doubtful.

About an average time-of-year supply of foreign stook
was on offer to•day, and the trade ruled heavy on easier
terms.

The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were moderately good, anl in somewhat improved
condition. Owing to the large supplies of dead meat now
on offer in Newgate and Leadenhall the beef trade was in a
sluggish state, and in some instances prices gave way 2d
per Blbs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d
per Blbs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,500 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England 350 various breeds ; from Scotland 200
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 180 oxen.
We were seasonably well supplied with nearly all breeds
of sheep, except the best Downs. Long-woolled sheep
sold heavily at 2d per Sibs less money, but the value of
Downs and half-breds was supported.
There was rather an improved inquiry for lambs, at from
5s 8d to 6s 8d per 8119 s.

Although tho supply of calves was limited Oa veal_
trade was heavy, at 4d to 6d per Blbs Oenes.th last non-
day's prices.

Pigs were in moderate supply, and iwavy request, at
barely stationary prices.

RUSSIA.

The following letter has been received from St.
Petersburg, dated March 8 :—" I have frequently
spoken to you of the abnormal situation of the
Russian empire with respect to her finances. The
complete stagnation of trade—the general dearness
of produce—the complete absence of gold or silver
coin; and this situation, far from improving, is
becoming worse every day. The dullness of trade
is the principal cause of this financial crisis.
It is calculated that silver coin to the
amount of 175,000,000 roubles was exported be-
tween the Ist of January, 1854, and the let of
January, 1860. The total amount of the gold
and silver coin current at present in Russia
does not exceed 220,000,000 roubles. The paper
money in circulation increased on the Ist
January, 1859, to 735,000,000 roubles. The
financial condition of the country is becoming
worse, in consequence of the continued stagna-
tion in our foreign trade, which has been in a most
deplorable condition during the last threo years.
There is but one opinion among our official finan-
ciers, and that is, that our Government must con-
tract a foreign loan on any terms, and that the
amount cannot be less than 40,000,000 roubles. The
circulation of such a sum in the interior of the coun-
try exclusively can alone facilitate the operations of
the Minister of Finance, and relieve from paying
the interest of the national debt in gold. The
Government is about to make an appeal to private
speculators to work the gold mines, discovered in
the districts lately ceded by the Emperor of China
to the Emperor of Russia. The Government will
offer advantageous terms, not so much on account
of the quantity of gold to be obtained as to en-
courage emigration to that fertile country, which
is now a complete desert."

BALLP TAY INTELLIGENCE•

SCOT' TISH NORTH-EASTERN.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the rave nue for the half-year endino. the 31st
of Jan. last a mounted to £104,307, and the expendi-
ture to .£47;122, leaving a balance of £57,184, of
which £4O; 029 belongs to the Aberdeen revenue
account and £17,155 to the Scottish Midland re-
venue ac count. Deducting interest on debentures
and other preferable charges, the balance available
for dividend on the Aberdeen capital stock was
£18,977. From this sum was deducted £1,924, the
deficie7acy on guaranteed dividends:of last half-year,
leaving £17,053. Out of this sum was deducted
£1,2`30 for dividend on the 31 percent stock, £8,300
for dividend on the 6 per cent. stock, and £5,250 on
the 7 per cent. stock, leaving a balance of £2,223 for
the next account. The balance available for dividend
en the Scottish Midland capital stock was £13,370,
out of which the directors proposed. to pay a divi-
dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, leaving
£1,616 for the next account. The directors were
anxious that the proprietors of original stock should
begin as early as possible to participate in a divi-
dend, however small ; but as the past half year was
more productive than the current, and the dividend
upon the 31 per cent. stock, No. 2, having com-
menced to accrue on the Ist of February last, they
had resolved that the balance should not in the
meantime be paid away in dividend, but be laid
amide as a reserve until the result of the working
of the present half-year was ascertained. The direc-
tors congratulated the shareholders upon the satis-
factory position of the company's affairs. The
increase in the z evenue amounted to upwards of
£4,000, while the expenditure had been kept very
low. The directors had found it necessary to ex-
pend £650 from revenue during the half-year in
repairing and strengthening the timber viaducts on
the line. The working expenses were now reduced
to 411 per cent. on the revenue, and, as compared
with the corresponding period of last year, they
showed a decrease of more than 3 per cent. The
average rate of interest on the debenture debt was
now a little under 41 per cent. All that now re-
mained unadjusted in regard to the Perth station
was the expense of the Caledonian engine, which
had been workinc, the traffic over the disputed
piece of line, and the maintenance of the general
station since 1852. The directors acknowledged
the valuable services rendered by Lord Chaudos in
relation to the framing of the Perth station agree-
ment, which had the effect of saving much trouble
and expense to all the companies concerned. The
consolidated capital of tho company amounted to
£1,979,264, and the debentures to £742,167—t0ta1,
£2,721,431. The amount of capital expended on
the Aberdeen Railway amounted to £1,924,118, on
the Scottish Midland to £690,491, and on joint
account to £l73,BBo—total, £2,788,489.

The linseed market continues very firm, at the extreme
rates of last week. Rapeseed has realised a further improve-
ment, and rather a large business has been transacted in it.
Tares are ix moderato request, at full prices; but all other
seeds are a slow inquiry. Cakes are less active, and the
late advance in the quotations is with difficulty maintained.

spoken to you of the abnormal situation of the
Russian empire with respect to her finances. The
complete stagnation of trade—the general dearness
of produce—the complete absence of gold or silver
coin ; and this situation, far from improving, is
becoming worse every day. The dullness of trade
is the principal cause of this financial crisis.
It is calculated that silver coin to the
amount of 175,000,000 roubles Was exported be-
tween the Ist of January, 1854, and the Ist of
January, 1860. The total amount of the gold
and silver coin current at present in Russia
does not exceed 220,000,000 roubles. The paper
money in circulation increased on the Ist
January, 1859, to 735,000,000 roubles. The
financial condition of the country is becoming
worse, in consequence of the continued stagna-
tion in our foreign trade, which has been in a most
deplorable condition during the last threo years.
There is but one opinion among our official finan-
ciers, and that is, that our Government must con-
tract a foreign loan on any terms, and that the
amount cannot be less than 40,000,000 roubles. The
circulation of such a sum in the interior of the coun-
try exclusively can alone facilitate the operations of
the Minister of Finance, and relieve from paying
the interest of the national debt in gold. The
Government is about to make an appeal to private
speculators to work the gold mines, discovered in
the districts lately ceded by the Emperor of China
to the Emperor of Russia. The Government will
offer advantageous terms, not so much on account
of the quantity of gold to be obtained as to en-
courage emigration to that fertile country, which
is now a complete desert."

THE STEAMERS IMFERADOR AND IMPERATRIZ.
—These vessels, the property of Messrs. Nevvall and Co.,
the electric cable contractors, have completed the laying of
the Red Sea cable, and the Imperador returns to England
at once. The Imperatria had been offered a charter to
convey troops to China.—London and China Telegraph.
SINGAPQRE AND BATAVIA CABLE.—The break
in the Singapore and Batavia cable, reported in our last,
has not been repaired, and no further detailed intelligence
has reached us, except that the injury is supposed to be
about 20 miles from Batavia.—London and China Tele•
