The improvement in the assessment under Schedule A in
Scotland for 1858-9, over that for the year 1857-8, amounts
to £76,000, and in Ireland the increase under the same
schedule is £32,000.
The assessments for the year 1858-9 under Schedule D
exhibit a very slight increase over those for the year 1857-8.
The profits on trade on which income tax was charged in
each year was a follows :-

Total.. 81,721,000 81,811,000 .. . 87,000

If we are to judge from the cases which occasionally come
under our notice, the amount of evasion of the duty undrr
Schedule D must be very considerable. We may remind
your lordships of one instance which we had occasion to
mention in a report during the last year, the magnitude of
which appeared very remarkable; the returns of the persons
liable for the profits of their partnerships having been for
many years about £6,500, and the amount really charge-
able, and on which duty was ultimately paid, being about
£32,000 per annum. In this case, too, there was no room
for the excuse which is often made, that the acquiescence of
the detected persons in an enormously increased chaige was
extorted from them on account of their reluctance to ex-,
hibit their accounts to the coramissiopiers, the actual prate

BOURSE, Sept. 6.—The market continues heavy,
with the smallest amount of business doing, and
the arrival of the English funds with lower quota-

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very scanty supply of English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds
was heavy in the extreme, and prices were almost nominal.
To have effected sales, a decline of 2s per quarter upon
Monday's rates must have been submitted to by the factors.
We were well supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat.
Millers showed no disposition to purchase, and prices were
nominally the same as last reported.
In floating cargoes of grain next to nothing was doing/
on former terms.

Good and fine barley commanded very full prices, but low
qualities were a dull inquiry.
Most kinds of malt changed hands steadily, at "17 full

prices.
There was a fair demand for oats. In the quotations n°
change took place.

LIVERPOOL AND HOLYHEAD TELEGRAPH LINE.
—At the meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board
held yesterday a report was read from Mr. Gisborne, the
engineer to the Liverpool and Holyhead line of telegraph,
in which that gentlemen stated that the last supporting pole
of the telegraph between Holyhead and Point Lynas had
been erecte on Wednesday, and is now ready to receive the
wires. He expected that the telegraphic communication
would be completely established between the extreme points
of the line by Thursday next. The report also stated that
the principal portion of the line has been working for a con-
siderable time, the only damage which it has sustained
having been caused near Abergele by the gale of the 2,5 th
of August last. That has been repaired, and the whole is
now in good order.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the short exchange on London ,
25.15 per sterling. On comparing these rates with the
English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold,- it appears that gold is about 1-10th per
cent. dearer in Paris than in' London. By advices from
Hamburg the price of gold is 425 i per mark, and the short
exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. Standard gold
at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is 110 per cent.,
when compared with the Mint

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
- -

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which

their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

NAPLES. -
A communication from Naples of the Ist says

" There are four camps of insurgents in Calabria,
and 1 am told that Garibaldi has already 40,000
men at his disposal. Desertions continue at Naples,
whole piekets leaving their posts and disappearing.
There are hundreds of houses ready to conceal
them. Among the persons known to hide these
runaways is a woman called Giovannara, quite a
hero in petticoats, brave to excess, and a Garibal-
dian to her very heart's core. When less pressed
I will give you a sketch of her life. Two evenings
ago, 200 men deserted from Capna with a captain,
three officers, and several non-commissioned offi-
cers, all belonging to the Bth regiment of the
line. It is said that the young Prince Don
Alphonso, the King's brother, is going off with
the troops; that Campagna, Sala, and even Aquila
are in revolt; that Castrovillari has disarmed its
gendarmes ; that Garibaldi was at Piszo on the
28th. The Iride brings us singular news from the
Bassilicata. The province is now under the com-
mand of Colonel Boldoni, who has published orders
to the effect that whoever without giving him due
notice shall organise bands, whether armed or not,
and all who join them, shall be punished with death.
He has issued one most curious order, being a set of
military instructions for the insurgents. Rumours
of reactionist conspiracies are rife here. Not fewer
than 40,000 copies of a paper addressed to the King
were found in a printing office since closed. Sire,'
says this document, when the country is in
danger the people have a right to call upon the
King to defend it, because the King is made for the
people, and not the people for the King.' The
writer then goes on to relate the expedition of
the adventurer who has entered the kingdom to
decatholicise (scattolicarci), and to establish a re-
pubtic.an Government under the dictatorship of
Mazzini, aided by the treason of some few wretches,
and the connivance of a still more miserable diplo-
macy. Sire, save your people ! The country in
danger demands four things, as follows :-1. Your
whole Ministry is betraying you, which is proved
by its acts, and its relations with the Pilates and
Judases. Let your ministers, therefore, be dis-
missed, and replaced by honest men, devoted to
your crown, your people, and the constitution. 2.
Many foreigners are conspiring against your throne
and our nationality. Let these foreigners be ex-
pelled from the kingdom. 3. Numerous depots of
arms exist in your capital; let a general disarming
be decreed. 4. The police is wholly devoted to
your enemies ; let it be disbanded and replaced by
an honest and faithful body of men.' "

and a gorgeous procession has been arranged for the
occasion ; but the raia is and has been since daylight
pouring in such torrents that it is quite impossible
that any outdoor display can be attempted. Mon-
treal is sure to be wild with disappointment at this,
and it has been suggested that if the Prince does
disembark to-day he should do so privately, return-
ing again on board to land in State to-morrow.
To-morrow, however, like every day of the tour,
has its own special business. He opens the Cana-
dian Exhibition at 11, and the Victoria-bridge at 2.
Each of these events would well be worth long
letters, but I must summarize their interest to the
utmost, for on Monday fresh events will again
demand attention.

6 O'CLOCK, P.M.
The landing ceremonial has been postponed till
to-morrow, at 9 a.m. The weather is still wretchedly
unfavourable, though it seems not to exercise any
influence on the Montreal excitement, which is still
at fever heat. The whole city is a perfect blossom
of wreaths, evergreens, flags, and banners, and it is
all but impossible to get accommodation even of
the humblest kind and at the most exorbitant rates.
To-morrow the landing, the grand procession, the
receipt and answer of addresses, opening the Exhi-
bition, opening the bridge, and a banquet in the
evening, have all to be got through somehow. Who
wouldn't go on a Royal progress ? It is now all
but certain that, after leaving Niagara, the Prince
will go by rail to Detroit and Chicago, thence
down part of the Mississippi and up the Ohio to
Cincinnati, and so on by rail to Washington, New
York, and Boston.

WE INCOME TAX.

We are requested to publish the following cor- I
respondence between Mr. Garnett, M.P. for Lan•
caster, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
" March 2, 1860.
" Sir,—l have given notice of my intention to move in
Committee of Ways and Means that the abatement of in-
come tax allowed to incomes under £l6O a year be extended
to incomes under £5OO.
If the income tax is to be made a permanent source of
revenue—and who can doubt it, especially with a Reform
Parliament ' looming in the future ?'—l hope I may be par-
doned for suggesting, by the proposed extension, a plan—
very imperfect I admit—by which the sense of injustice in
taxing permanent and precarious incomes alike would, I
think, to some extent be diminished.
" The return laid before Parliament last July (No. 119,
secs. 2), stating the amount of income tax charged under
schedules D and E, and dividing the persons so charged
into classes of incomes of £lOO, £l5O, £2OO, and so on, gives
very valuable information on the subject ; but, taken alone,
it is clearly incomplete, and therefore I shall feel obliged if
you can inform me whether it is possible, at no great cost of
time or money, to lay before Parliament a similar return
embracing all the schedules ?
" I have tho honour to remain, sir,
"Your very faithful servant,
" WILLIAM J. GARNETT.
" To the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer."

" 11, Downing-street, Whitehall, March 7.
"My dear sir,—From the manner in which the income
tax has been levied since it was remodelled in the time of
Mr. Pitt, we are not able to give for schedules A and C the
returns which have been presented to Parliament for sche -
dule D. Schedules A and C lay the tax off property, and
take no account of the owner except in cases of application
for exemption.
" Neither can we estimate with precision the effect which
the adoption of your suggestion would produce. But it
would probably be little short of £lOO,OOO a year for each
penny of income tax. An additional establishment would
also be requisite, to the extent of £2,000 or £3,000 a year.
"I remain, thf
faithfully yGLAours,
" W. E. DSTONE.

PARLIAMENTARY COMIMITTEEB.

(THIS DAY.)

THE SERPEN TINE.

The committee re-assembled this morning in room 16.
The first witness called was
11r. Greaves, civil engineer to the East London Water
Works, who said—l am familiar with the operations for
the filtering of water.
The Chairman—Do you think that filtration through
sand would bs an effectual mode of getting rid of floating
weeds and other impurities ?
Witness—Certainly. It would get rid of any floating
substance. I have invariably found that weeds causes
more danger than mud. There would be no difficulty in
filtering the water of the Serpentine, but I don't think
there would be any great result.
Chairman--Then the passing the whole of that water
daily through sand would not make it clear.
Witness—lt would greatly depend on the season, but the
chances are you would not get any very effectual result. I
don't think you would ever get it perfectly clear.
The Chairman—you state you are familiar with filter
beds—what is the shortest time you have ever known filter
beds to become choked ?
Witness—l have known filter beds to become choked in
three days. There was a small amount of mud arising
from clay. The greater part of the obstruction was caused
by weeds.
The Chairman—Was that an unusual circumstance ?
Witness—Yes, certainly." It was in the hot weather.
After May, June, July, and August, the growth of weeds
goes considerably off.
The Chairman—What is the size of the inter beds you
speak of ?

Witness—At the East London Waterworks I have 12
acres of sand, through which 17,000,000 gallons of water
passes daily. The space is divided into 13 portions. The
whole quantity of water I have mentioned passes through
those beds in 24 hours.
Chairman—What is the average time before the beds get
choked ?

Witness—About three weeks.
Chairman—What are the expenses of cleansing the filter
beds ?

-- •
Witness—lt cost last year £lO per acre. That included
the whole expense without putting a value on the water
filtered.

Chairman—How do you divide the charge of £lO per acre
for cleansing P
Witness—l set down £4 for washing the sand, £4 for
re-sanding, and new materials, and £2 for wages.
In answer to further questions the witness said there was
no disagreeable smell arising from the chocked beds. There
was no bad odour from the surface of the sand, but when
it was cut down for the purpose of washing the sand was
of a darker colour, and then there was a some-
what pungent. smell. There certainly was no
vary great number of persons residing in the vicinity of the
works of the East London Water Works. The green stuff
taken from the water inprocess of filtration, was carted away
and put upon garden ground as manure. Had never known
complaints to have been made of the stench arising from this
vegetation, as no persons resided near the place it was
carted to. The filtration of the 30th part of the Serpentine
daily would not produce any visible result in cleansing the
water.

its appearance--indeed it did not come up to the mark of

other part of the road is progressing satisfactorily. It is
expected to be opened for traffic about the Ist of August.

FRENCH VERSUS ENGLISH OFFICERS. The
French army have another and a groat contrast to ours.
Their officers are soldiers by profession, and ours too fre-
frequently enter the service for amusement and temporary
occupation. Many of the former have risen from the ranks,
and there are but a few who have any means besides their
pay ; their hopes in this world are in promotion and glory;
when they lose their pay as officers, they become waiters at
hotels and cab-drivers. Whereas our officers have generally
some private means, and either can or do purchase some, if
not all, of their commissions. 'With their private fortunes,
and the value of their commissions to fall back upon, they
will not face a diappointment in promotion, or a bad climate
or even a disagreeable quarter. On the breaking out of
hostilities, the first impulse of every officer is to

MONTE VIDEO.

The latest commercial and political advices from
Montevideo describe a favourable turn in the rela-
tions of that and the other States of the Argentine
Confederation with Brazil. The excitement, as the
period approaches for the election of the new Pre-
sident of the Republic, is not so great as in most
countries. No addition to the list I advised it my
last has been made public. The leading journal is
writing most damnatory articles against Berro, the
most respectable candidate of the four. It is not
impossible that at the last moment another candi-
date may start up suddenly and be elected. Not
one of the candidates publicly solicits support, nor
puts forth any principles by which, if he were
elected, his government would be administered.
Perhaps their opinions of themselves are so high
that they imagine the public cannot think other-
wise of them. At all events, their silence possesses
the merit of keeping them uncompromised. They
may possibly think an appeal to the public unne-
cessary, when they will owe their election exclu-
sively to the Deputies and Senators. Nothing
further has been done in regard to the Anglo-
French claims. It is said the British and French
diplomatists are waiting new instructions from
their Governments. Brazil is reducing the strength
of her naval force in these waters, and, it is said, is
about to adopt an entirely new policy in her inter-
course with the River Plate Republics. She has a
. considerable army on the frontiers, but no reason-
able man thinks she wishes to provoke a war.
Peace is equally essential to her as to these coun-
tries. Considerable shipments of produce from this
port are being made to Europe and America, and
there is great activity among the Saladeristas. The
cattle are in good condition. A good deal of rain
has fallen to the north, but in this neighbourhood
we are suffering from drought, and the scarcity of
water in the town is a serious deprivation to the
poor. About £120,000 has been drawn on Europe
for remittance by this packet. Bills on England
opened at 44d., and have since been negotioted at
420. Interest on money, 11 to 11 per cent. per
month.—Thites' ('RJJ Article. •

A WORD IN SEASON.—The French army of half
a million is available to-morrow, and a conscription would
give the pick of as many men as might be required to re-
cruit it. When the Emperor declares war, he will not give
us time to organise new regiments or to call out the re •
mainder of the militia. There is no doubt but that the 20
miles of sea is as good as an army of 200,000 men at least ;
but suppose the Channel once crossed by an enemy, what
have we to oppose him ? It is asserted we can only bring
into the field, on a point between London and the south
coast, an army of 20,000 mon, part of which must be com-
posed of militia. That is all,—Once a Week,.
