LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 14.
We have to report a good demand to-day again, the sales
amounting to 5,000 bags, including 1,200 American taken
on Erculation. Prices are higher this week id. to id. per
lb. Exporters are still at work, taking pretty freely.
HoP INTELLIGENCE.—CANTERBURY.—There
was a great deal of business done in our market on Saturday
in Hops. The prices varied from 4/. to 61. One growth
of a celebrated ground realized 61.65. The demand of the
ale brewers for their choice samples having been found so
general. that the merchants could no longer with safety hold
off, and the East Kent growers have consequently nearly
obtained the high prices originally demanded, where the
quality of their samples presented superior colour, com-
bined with equal superiority of flavour. Not less than 2,000
to 2,500 bags and pockets were taken out of the planters'
hands at the prices stated above. to be delivered at Canter-
bury, to which freight and other e.harges are to be added.—

The following observations expliin so well the ad-
vantages of the 'measure that all further comment is
unnecessary :
" But what is the law of which the 'County gentlemen
so loudly complain, and which, with a singular disregard
of probability as well as truth, some of them deaotni-
nate a Ministerial job ? The land tax and assessed taxes
ate, or rather we should say were collected in each county
by an officer chosen by the Commissioners of Supply—
that is, by the landed proprietors, whose estates amount to,
or exceed, one hundred pounds of old valuation. The
choice has, commonly been a matter of much and keen
canvass ; and not unfrequently it has been jobbed, in the
strictest sense of the word. The county collector keeps
ai; office in the county town ; and -he is in the habit of
going to the other principal towns -iifice a year, where he
remains for a du, ate most, in Order to facilitate his col-
lections. Whoever, i:pm any accident, is unable to at-
tend the collector, on the set apart for these district
payments, must bring or send his quota of taxes, at all
cost, to the- county town-, or run the risk .?.f a prosecution.
The collectiop of the land tax and assessed ta.Zes, separate
fromother brancleS of the revenue, caused a sep,;:ate set
of accounts, separate remittances, separate clerks, separtZte
offices ; it was cumbrous and expensive, as respected the
Government, and exceedingly inconvenient as respected
the public.
" The Government haire,,by the Act in question, vested
the collection of these taxes in the distributors of stamps.
The head' distributor, ewe need not say, resides and has an
office in the chief town of his district ; and there is a resi-
dent sub-distributor in each town of the smallest note. The
,town payments will . be-made as they are at present ; the
only change is the change of the, person to whom they must
be made.;_ the country payments will be made to the sub-
distributors, with this: difference, that the tax-payer, instead
of being limited to one day, will have a month or more in
which to effect payment. The remittances will be one, the
accounts one, the officer and office one, as is the Treasury
for whom they exist. No new place is created ; almost no
additional expense is incurred in the stamp departmat ; and
the annual saving in the various collectorships, in Seoilazid
alone, will not, it is mbable, fall short of twelve or fifteen
thousand pounds. The duty will be performed with much
more simplicity and regularity, aid it will cost a great deal
less. What reasonable ground, then, is there for complaint?"
