the 29th u lt. Two remittances of bills for duties
had reached him from the agents in Vera Cruz,
amounting to 54,216 dols., and making the deposit
in the capital 726,143 dols. The packet brings 11,794

it is termed I, on all funds that shall be sent bY a
condueta, vhich it was proposed to despatch to
Puente Nfteional, on the road to Vera Cruz,
early in thu present month. Mr. Whitehead had
ascertained from the Minister of Finance that this
8 per cent. N you'd be exacted on the dollars of the
dividend fund on being sent away, and was receiv-
ing every •support from her Majesty's Charge
d'Affaires, !Ur. Mathew, in his endeavours to con-
tend again* .t this illegality, with what result re-
mains to be seen. The President, who had returned
to the capital on the 7th April, was to leave it again
en the 30tH to collect forces and take the command
agianst Gen. Uraga, a Constitutionalist general,
Who had defeated the Government troops under
Gem. de la. Vega, and taken possession of San Luis
Potosi, which was considered a terrible and most
unexpected blow to the Conservatives.''
The tranßactions in the Railway Share Market

In the Foreign Markets dealings of importance

Some parties on the Continent seem to be again
negotiating fraudulent bills, accepted, and purportirig to be
payable at some% of the London joint-stock banks. One of
this description was lately presented. at the Commercial
Bank. It was drawn by S. Collen on Herbert Lang and
Co. Great Lion-street, E.C., London, an entirely fictitious
address. It had also a number of fictitious endorsements,
and had been negotiated at Brussels.
Owing to the numerous cases in which the injus-
tice of the income tax is aggravatedby the attempts to en-
force it where it has no equitable application, a correspon-
dent suggests that attention should be especially called to a
recent appeal in the Exchequer Court, the result of which
may induce persons not to submit too freely to the inter-
pretation of Government officials regarding the bearing of
articular imposts. ' A partner in a New York firm, resi-
ett at Nottingham, and acting as their agent, was re-
tret to wiy income tax not only on his own share, but on
enr're nrofits of the house, which consists of seven
otherpartners, am. conducts its business in America like any
foreign tini. Ile refused to pay more than his indi-
vidual share, and 'he Attorney-General proceeded against him
and got a verdict, On an appeal, however, the whole of
.the judges pronounced the exaction to be illegal, the Lord
ZulseafliJkustice citing illustrations to show that the claim
a
unjust, absurd, and injurious, and that the plea
of the eCrown would operate to
proceeding that could effect the most impolitic
be adopted in a commercial country—
that of " taxing those who come to us. as our customers!

A new wheel for railway carriages has been in-
troduced to obviate the possibility of those breakages of tire
from which a large proportion of the worst accidents have
recently arisen. The tire in this case is solid throughout,
having no holes for bolts or rivets in any part, and it is so
Connected with the wheel that if one part were to break the
remainder would still be held firmly in pesition. The
system has been tested on the Brighton line for some
months, and the results are said to have bmonstrated its
safety and economy.
