Penitentiary, and held it to Pimlico-pier. White came up,
and rowed them oar and oar to the New Railway Works ;
White then fell astern, and after a desperate race with the

conceive.

Let the tax-paying public bear in mind—let
every man when he pays the GLADSTONE FOUR-
PENCE next Michaelmas remember—that real
property, the property of all the landlords of
England, the property of our aristocracy, of our
House of Lords, of our county members—that real
property pays no probate duty. Personal property
of all kinds pays it, real property pays none. We
are now to pay fourpence extra in the pound, be-
cause for so long a time the landlord class has
escaped without paying probate duty. The poor
widow of the blacksmith and the shoemaker must
pay it, but the neighbouring squire, whose hunters
the blacksmith shod, and whose own feet the shoe-
maker did his best to equip for the stirrup—he
paid not one penny probate duty for the splendid
estate on which the humble dwellings of the village
tradesmen stand ! Is this English equity ?

But perhaps the GLADSTONE succession duty
atones for it. Our Chancellor of filo Exchequer
has received endless praise for having subjected
this class to a succession duty, and the praise has
not surely been for nothing. No, not for nothing,
but for very little, for even less than had been
hoped. Here are two illustrations—actual facts—
the records of which are in the books of the Trea-
sury. Mr. BRIGHT'S views of the Crimean war
did him at least one little service. A stranger,
being enamoured of him, left him, as a legacy, a
small estate, worth £1,450. On this he would have
had to pay, had it been money at the bankers or in
the funds, £l4O, or ten per cent. To his surprise
he found that he had but £5O to pay ! According
to the GLADSTONE arrangement for the landlord
class, the Somerset House people take account of
the age of the legatee, and charge him duty, as they
would in an insurance office, less in proportion to
the time he can have enjoyment of the property.
We will not dispute the fairness of the plan. But
surely, what is fair to the class succeeding to real
property, is fair to the class receiving personal pro-
perty. Why should a squire, to whom an estate is
left, pay less the older he is, because he will sooner
part with his possession, and our blacksmith and
shoemaker pay less also, in proportion to their ages,
when they receive a legacy of personal property
from a parent, or from a friend who respects them.
It is to be remembered, too, that the squire paid
no probate duty, while the blacksmith and shoe-
maker did. Mr. BRIGHT referred to a second case
of a friend, in which the legatee saved thousands
instead
of hundreds. The estate left him by a
stranger
was worth, in this instance, £32,000; had
it been personal property he must have paid
£3,200, besides more than £6OO for probate duty;
but the landlord sliding scale came in, and he got
off withhen onlyto
When this is added the confessed injustice of
Schedule D, we believe that no feudal times can be
much worse. We will not dwell on this just now,
but we present one consideration. It is said the
professional man or tradesman can put his family
on a level with the proprietor of an estate by in_

DISEMBODIED MILITIA.

Mr. S. HERBERT moved that the following members
constitute a select, committee to prepare estimates of the
charge of the diseMbodied militia of Great Britain and Ire-
land for the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1860
Mr. Sidney Herbert, • General Peel, the Judge Advocate,
Sir G. Lewis, Mr. Ellice, Sir J. Ramsden, Mr. Geo. Clive/
Colonel Kingscote, Colonel Wilson Patten, Colonel Smyth/
Colonel Pinney, Colonel North, and all colohels of militia;
five to be the quorum.
Mr. VINCENT SCULLY complained that Irish mem-
ber. were excluded from this as well as from most other
committees. There was not a single Irishman in the Cabi-
net, and it seemed therefore to be forgotten that there Was
an Irish member in the house. A committee was also about
to be appointed to inquire into the state of the Thames ;
but, as usual, it was to comprise no Irishmen probably be-
cause it was supposed that Irish members had not as sensi-
tive olfactories as their English brethren. (A laugh.) Se
gave notice that he should bring this subject forward early
next session and divide the house upon it.
Mr. S. HERBERT thought the assertion of the exclu-
sion of Irishmen rather unjust. The head of the Cabinet
was an Irishman, and there were several Irishmen on this
committee—among whom he might mention Mr. Sidney
Herbert I (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Mr. V. SCULLY had never heard the fact just stated ;
he was glad to salute the noble lord (Palmerston) and the
Secretary at War as brother Irishmen. (Laughter.)
The committee was then appointed. -
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES.
Sir G. LEWIS moved for leave to bring in a bill to place
Roman Catholic charities on the same footing as other
charities. At the present time charities forßoman Catholics
were void as against the statute of charitable uses. He now'
proposed to alter this, making the charities, however, sub-
Net to the Statute of Mortmain .
Mr. KINNAIRD rejoiced that the Government had at
length dealt with this subject. Ample time ought however
to be given for the house to consider its provisions.
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
MANUFACTURES (IRELAND).
Mr. CARDWELL obtained leave to bring in a bill en
this subject.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL

Sir C. NAPIER rose to call attention to the manage.
ment of Greenwich Hospital ; his object was to show that
a different system of. treatment was observed towards the
sailors to that which was practised with reference' to the
officers. Any pensions received by the officers for wounds
were retained, whilst those of the men were given up from
the moment they entered the hospital. From a return which
he held in his hand, it appeared that the officers received
£25,593 in salaries, while the charge for the men was
£33,163, the latter being obliged to give up pay and pension
and to accept a shilling a week in addition to their board,
lodging, and clothing in the hospital. The salary of the
governor was £2,759, lieutenant governor £1,345, senior
captain £740, and so on, all handsome incomes, whilst
the poor sailors were kept on the barest pittance. Another
complaint he had to make was, that neither the go-
vernor nor lieutenant-governor had any power, all
authority being confided to three commissioners, who
were retained at handsome salaries out of the funds of the
hospital. Raving recited one or two minor csuses of complaint
the gallant admiral concluded by moving that a humble
address be presented to her Majesty for a commission to in-
quire into the management of Greenwich Hospital.
'The SPEAKER informed the hen, and gallant member

that his motien could not be put, there being one amend-
ment already before the chair. The amendment alluded to
was put and negatived.
Sir C. NAPIER asked if he could then put his motion?
The SPEAKER answered in the negative and the mo-
tion fell to the ground.

THE INCOME-TAX.

The following letter describes the mode and pro-
portions in which the increased income-tax will be
levied during the next-half-year :

" Sir,—Considerable misapprehension appears to exist
with reference to the proposed addition to the income and
property-tax; and, as I have been favoured with some ex-
planations by a gentleman connected with the Department
of Inland Revenue, I venture to send the following infor-
mation, believing it will prove useful to your readers :
A net sum of 4d. in the pound is to be levied in one pay-
ment upon every yearly income exceeding £l5O, in addition
to the existing tax of sd. in the pound, making a total tax
of 9d. in the pound upon the yearly income.
" The existing tax is payable half-yearly, in September
and March. With the moiety of this tax which will fall
duo in September there will be require to be paid, in addi-
tion, 4d. in the pound on the whole income, making the
September payment equal to 61d. in the pound on the whole
income. In cases, however, where the Government deduct
the tax—such as dividends on stock—they will deduct
ls. ld. in the pound on the amount then paid ; because the
payment being of only a half, and not a whole year's in-
come, they must add Bd. instead of 4d. to the original tax,
Bd. in the pound on half the income being, of course, equal
to 4d. in the pound on the whole income.
"When this additional tax shall have been paid by a
tenant mortgagor, &c., he will be entitled to deduct from
his landlord or mortgagee upon payment of the rent or in-
terest then next to accrue due, as follows:
" If a year's rent or interest, 9d. out of each pound he
has to pay. If half a year's rent or interest, is. ld. out of
each pound he has to pay • and, if a quarter of a year's
rent or interest, ls. 9d. out of each pound he has to pay.
"The tax is generally collected about Christmas, so that
these observations will generally apply to the paytnewts
falling due at the Christmas quarter and not earlier,
yotir obedient servant,

On the motion for the consideration of the Lords' amend•
ments to the Llangollen Railway Bill,
Mr. WHALLEY said that he had introduced bills into
Parliament with reference to this railway in order to pro-
tect his interest, the undertaking proposing to traverse
a portion of his park. However, he deferred with submis-
sion to the wishes of the house, but as an important altera-
tion had been introduced in the Lords, by which powers
were given to the company to make a deviation which was
not necessary for the purposes of the railway, he con-
cluded by moving an addition to the clause to which he
alluded, which was to the effect that the company should
not be empowered to take more land than was originally
agreed to except by the consent of the Board of Trade.
After some discussion the house divided.

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.

perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-

Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-

Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived.
The semi-official ,Correspondancia Autografa has
the following :—" At Gibraltar the English are
mounting batteries, not only as has been stated in
the forts, but even in the midst of the streets. The
day on which the sentinel of the Straits shall light
his first match, this place will be transformed into
a volcano of gunpowder and ball. Our forts of
Santa Barbara and San Feline, destroyed by the
English in the War of Independence, under the
pretext that the French troops might take posses-
sion of them, are now only heaps of i uins, and the
bronze artillery with which they were armed is
still in the hands of the English. The English
will not allow these fortifications to be restored,
and yet we permit them to encroach every day, by
constructing barracks on neutral ground, and by
taking the stone destined for their walls in the
quarries of San Roque." The journals announce
that new arrests had been made at Seville, also at
Badajoz and Olivanza.

A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,

says :
" England, in making known to France that she
was disposed to take part in the deliberations of a
European congress is said to have added to her
communication, a formal proposition for a general

acceptable to Farnce that the initiative for such a
measure is reported to have emanated from the
Emperor Napoleon. His Majesty, in a conversa-
tion with Lord Cowley, offered, it is rumoured, to
set the example of a reduction in the military ex-
penses which all the countries of Europe are now
imposing 'in themselves from a feeling of mutual
mistrust. Hence the friendly language towards the

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived.
The semi-official Correspondancia Autografa has
the following :—" At Gibraltar the English are
mounting batteries, not only as has been stated in
the forts, but even in the midst of the streets. The
day on which the sentinel of the Straits shall light
his first match, this place will be transformed into
a volcano of gunpowder and ball. Our forts of
Santa Barbara and San Feline, destroyed by the
English in the War of Independence, under the
pretext that the French troops might take posses-
sion of them, are now only heaps of twins, and the
bronze artillery with which they were armed is
still in the hands of the English. The English
will not allow these fortifications to be restored,
and yet we permit them to encroach every day, by
constructing barracks on neutral ground, and by
taking the stone destined for their walls in the
quarries of San Roque." The journals announce
that new arrests had been made at Seville, also at
Badajoz and Olivanza.

A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,

says :

" England, in making known to France that she
was disposed to take part in the deliberations of a

l'European congress is said to have added to her
communication, a formal proposition for a general
disarming. This proposition would be the more
acceptable to Farnce that the initiative for such a
measure is reported to have emanated from the
Emperor Napoleon. His Majesty, in a conversa-
tion with Lord Cowley, offered, it is rumoured, to
set the example of a reduction in the military ex-
penses which all the countries of Europe are now
imposing themselves from a feeling of mutual
mistrust. Hence the friendly language towards the
French Sovereign used by Lord John Russell and
Lord Palmerston during the discussion on the budget
in the House of Commons ; hence, also, the eager-
ness shown by the English Cabinet to enter into the

views of its ally. The visit of Count de Persigny
to Paris is connected with these negotiations."

The Piedmontese papers, and especially the
Piedmontese Gazette, continue to give accounts of
the movement of public opinion in the Duchies.
At Kodena, the Royal Governor, M. Farini, has
been an object of ovation; the municipalities of
the country are voting funds for the raising of
troops, and the people raise subscriptions. An ad-
dress to the King has been voted at Reggio, in
which the following words occur :—" Sire, you
will not permit your representatives to abandon
us." The province of Guastalla declares in a pro-
test that should it be attempted to replace it under
a detested Government, it would repulse the latter
" with the arms of despair." The municipality of
Parma has voted an address, in which it says :
" Sire, we are with you, and for you ; we shall ever
be so, with the same resolution and the same confi-
dence."

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they nn';-ht be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
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.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was seasonably
good, and the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at fully
Monday's quotations. We were well supplied with sheep,
which moved off slowly at late rates. Lambs—the supply
of which was large—were very inactive ; nevertheless,
Monday's prices were supported. There was a moderate
inquiry for calves, at late quotations. Pigs were in im-
proved request, but milch cows ruled heavy.

MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICID

On Tuesday morning a fearful crime was perpe-
trated at Jarrow. A man, named John Shafto
Wilthew, murdered his wife by cutting her throat
with a razor, and afterwards made a similar
attempt on his own life Wilthew and his wife
occupied two small rooms in Drewett's-buildings,
near the Railway Station, for which they paid a
rent of 3s. per week. Residing with them were
three of their children, namely, a girl, 17 years of
age, and two boys, one 12 and the other 13
years of age ; and a brother of the deceased named
George Charlton. About four o'clock on Tuesday
morning, Charlton, who slept in the kitchen, was
greatly alarmed on seeing his sister enter from the
other room in her night-dress, holding her hand to
her throat, from which the blood was flowing pro-
fusely. She was unable to speak, and presented a
most fearful spectacle. He instantly jumped out of
bed, when she caught hold of his right arm, and
made signs that she had received a severe wound
on her throat. Presently her husband, having
only his tronsers on, came running into the kit-
chen, and passed quickly through into the yard. In
a few moments he returned, when Charlton, sus-
pecting from his appearance that he had done or
meant to do himself some injury, left his sister for
a moment, and followed him into the other room,
where he found him lying on his face in a pool of
blood. He returned to the kitchen to attend to his
sister, who was sitting on the floor, with her head
resting on a stool. Blood was flowing very fast
from her. By this time several of the neighbours
entered the house. Dr. Saunders was sent for, and
on his arrival he immediately attended to the de-
ceased, who was considered to be in the more dan-
gerous condition. He found that she had received
a severe wound in the throat. On Dr. Saunders
commencing to dress the deceased's throat, she
looked imploringly to him, and gasped rather than
spoke the words, " Oh, Doctor Saunders, I didn't
deserve this !" She was getting weaker, and a few
minutes after the doctor had stitched and bound up
the wound, she expired. The attention of Dr. Saun-
ders was then directed to the husband, who was
lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom. It was,
found that while in the yard he had inflicted a
wound on his throat between three and four inches
in length. He had cut through to the windpipe,
but fortunately the windpipe was not injured,
although the external jugular vein was cut. His
wounds having been dressed, he was placed in bed.
-We understand that he voluntarily confessed to
having cut his wife's throat. He afterwards spoke
of the fearful occurrence in a cool and collected
manner, and even sat up in bed and smoked his
pipe. He is fully expected to recover.—Manekester
Guardian:

COUNTRY MARKETS.

MELTON MOWBRAY-JULY 19.

There was a middling supply of wheat, and a fair attend-
ance of farmers—white samples realising 46s to 48s; red,
44s per 36 stone. There was nothing doing in barley. Oats
were a small show, and last week's quotations were main-
tained, namely, 30s to 34s per 24 stone. Beans scarce, and
at extreme rates-50s to 54s per 38 stone.

TO THE EDITOR OP TILE SUN.

think in your report on the fire which so rapidly
destroyed the house next to mine, you have omitted to do
full justice to the striking instance of dexterity and courage
exhibited by George Lowe, who had charge of the Cheap-
side fire escape. Within five minutes of his receiving
notice of the imminent danger of those in the burning house
he effected lie rescue of the first of the fourteen who un-
doubtedly owe their lives to him. Nothing could be more
noble than the fearless way which, at great risk to him-
self, he repeatedly ascended the machine and brought down
one by one the whole fourteen safe to the ground. The
progress of the fire was so rapid, from the peculiar
construction of the house, that escape both above
and below was impossible at the time the flames
were discovered. The fury of the burning mass was appal-
ling, and the shrieks of the inmates, I am told, were heard
far down Cornhill. At one time ten persons were to be
seen clinging round the front windows, in momentary ex-
pectation of a dreadful death; and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the women were prevented from precipitating
themselves into the street, from the third story, a height
of fifty feet. The rapid approach of the escapes alone in-
duced them to remain in their awful position. Surely the
public will recognise, in some way, the zeal and intrepidity
of Lowe, through his constantly exposing himself to similar
peril for the poor remuneration of One Pound a week.
Yours respectfully,

JOHN BENNETT.

P.S. The conduct of the Fire Brigade and of the Police
cannot be too highly commended, and it is but right to state
that Mr. Roberts, one of the proprietors of the Anchor,
nobly refused to save himself till every other person had
descended in safety.

THE MILITIA.

The First Warwickshire Militia, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Colonel Commandant I. M. Boult-
bee, have received orders to assemble at Warwick
on 20th September for the usual three weeks' train-
ing. The West Kent Light Infawry Militia, after
having completed its 21 days' drill, was disbanded
on Tuesday afternoon. During the time of drill
the regiment was inspected by the lord-lieutenant
of the county, Viscount Sydney, who complimented
the officers and men on the efficient manner in
which they had conducted themselves as well as on
the excellent conduct of the men. -

CITADEL DEFENCES.
The fortifications of the citadel of Dover are
about to be enlarged, and the estimated cost of the
works is £150,000. The walls round the ramparts
inside and outside will be raised many feet, the
ditches will be considerably lowered, while on the
sea front will be erected a large bastion for officers'
quarters, on the top of which will be a very strong
battery, heavily mounted, with first class ordnance.
In the centre of the citadel will be a signal tower,
while lower and over the reservoir will be all the
necessary building required for such a place, be-
tween which and the guns facing outwards will be
a covered way to protect the military passing to
and fro. The improvements will extend from the
Citadel to the drop, at which places and at the
head of the Military-road will be constructed new
drawbridges of great strength.--South Eastern

THAMES.

A MOST ARTFUL ROBBERY BY A HYPOCRITICAL
THIEF.—Mary Ann Sutton, a married woman, aged 31,
and, up to the time of her apprehension, dwelling with her
husband at No. 1, Mary-place, Bromley, was brought up,
on remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged \with stealing a poc-
ket containing 50s. from the person of a little girl named
Rosa Soames.
The girl on whom the robbery was committed is the
daughter of a green-grocer in Crisp-street, Bromley, and
is in the practice of attending upon her father's customers
