Direct taxation for the necessities of the Federal
Government is a thing unknown to living Ameri-
cans. The other and indirect sources of revenue
have hitherto proved sufficient for the moderate
wants.of a Government endowed with no municipal
powers, and with none of the varied functions here
vested in the several States, but elsewhere in the
national Sovereignty. The mode of levying such
taxes, and all the machinery for collecting them,
must be created out of chaos by the Government.
It is supposed in New York that the Government
will not attempt the task until the regular time for
the assembing of Congress. It may not, however,
be uninteresting to Englishmen to know how suc-
cessful such a tax will be when attempted. I
believe that the taxable property of the loyal
States, taken at the ordinary reduced valuation,
may be sot down at about 7,000,000,000 dols.
One per cent. upon this would yield the pretty
little sum of 70,000,000 dole. and, for reasons
stated in former letters, I apprehend that the
Government will be forced in self-defence to
resort in the end to this sort of revenue.
A nation that is not willing to make a sacri-
fice in the present generation, that evades direct
taxation by shifting the entire burden of war upon
future generations in the shape of loans, must lose
its own self-respect and the esteem of the world.
The North are not disposed to make that mistake.
The holders of property understand perfectly that
without money the Government cannot sustain its
enormous efforts to maintain its integrity, and un-
less I greatly mistake the popular feeling they will
respond to any reasonable eall that may be made
upon them without more than the average amount
of grumbling.
If, however, the Government decide, as I think
they will, to defer the call until a more convenient
season, there are other springs of revenue entirely
untouched, from which the tap of the Secretary's
rod may bring forth abundant streams of supplies.
Tea and coffee, for instance, have been for nearly
20 years upon the free list of this country. The
annual consumption of tea is (I believe, but I write
without the figures before me) about 32,000,0001 b.,
of which the greater part is consumed in the Free
States. Assuming that the consumption in the
loyal States is about 28,000,0001b,—an assumption
probably below the truth—and putting upon this
consumption a duty of 15e. per lb. (not quite one-
half the British duty), we have an aggregate of
4,200,000 dols. from this article alone. The con-
sumption of coffee in the United States in 1860 was
177,530,6231 b., being about 25,000,000 less than
1859 and 74,000,000 less than in 1858. Assuming
the war consumption in the Free States to be
150,000,0001 b., we find that a duty of sc. a-pound
would yield 7,500,nn0. I think that coffee would
bear this amount of duty. Large stocks are on hand
in this market awaiting the expected rise following
a duty, and I should not be surprised to see such a
duty followed by a steadiness in price, owing to
the increase in supply that the dealers in that
article think would take place. ,sugar is another
article which would bear a large increase of
duty. The consumption of sugar in 1860 in
the United States was 423,281 tons, of which
119,046 tons were of domestic production, 304,235
tons of foreign production. Those who are best
acquainted with the markets for this article esti-
mate that with a graduated duty ranging from 29e.
to 4c. per pound, according to the quality of the
article, there would be a consumption in the Free
States of not less than 330,000 tons, yielding the
Government a revenue of 17,000,000 dols., and that
by putting a corresponding scale of duties upon
molasses the Government would receive 3,500,000
dole. additional. Thus, by a judicious system of
customs' duties upon these several necessary arti-
cles, a revenue of 32,200,000 dols. might be raised,
and it is thought in New York that the Secretary
of the Treasury will, in some form or other, propose
to avail himself of these manifest resources. It is,
however, in the opinion of the best judges, unsafe
to look for more than 60,000,000 dols. from the
customs during the war, even with these increased
taxes upon the necessaries of life. This would not
yield quite enough to meet the ordinary current
expenses of the country, and the interest upon the
debt that must be contracted for the extraordinary
war expenses, for the total expenses of the Govern-
ment, conducting war upon so gigantic a scale, can-
not reach less than 300,000,000 dols. a year.

Should the war unexpectedly be prolonged be-
yond the twelvemonth, the Government would pro-
bably find its credit anything but good for the next
year's loan, without a resort to some other sources
of taxation to meet current war expenditure. Seve-
ral such sources axe open to it. First, it may levy
excise duties which would be little felt, and would
yield large returns. An excise duty on malt and
spirituous liquors at the rate of the English excise
on similar articles would probably yield 50,000,000
dole. on the Northern consumption alone. Would
it, then, be too much for a Secretary to the Treasury
to assume to " realise" 35,000,000 dols. from this
sourse ? An excise duty might also be put upon
tobacco, of which. the annual consumption in the

loyal states is about 50,000,0001 b., upon which an
excise duty of sc. would yield 2,500,000 dols. Malt
and spirituous liquors and tobacco are luxuries
which might well be put under contribution when
tea and coffee are made to pay tribute. Other
articles and trades might be brought under contri-
bution in the same way, making an aggregate of
about 100,000,000 dols. of revenue, before the ap-
peal is made to direct taxation.

With such great and pure sources of revenue, a
Secretary of the Treasury ought not to go wrong in
making up his budget. He will undoubtedly have
to make immediate calls for money before any of
these sources can be made available, and to rely

Government to carry on a great war, and are as
determined to maintain their independence as the
loyal States are to restore them to their allegiance,
there is, indeed, a long and a bloody struggle before
us. The sources of revenue which. I have indicated
must be unfailing, and must supply this Government
with the necessaries of war, and with ample credit
for whatever campaign it chooses to embark in. It
is not believed here that the Confederate States have
any similar means to rely upon. Cotton is at once
their king and their slave, their taxable property
and their circulating medium, and cotton is for the

The story of the attempts of the Governments of
the two sections at a compromise turns out to be, as
I supposed it would, a mistake. There are no ele-
ments of compromise in this quarrel as it now
stands, and no desire kr a compromise—at least, on
this side. The Nortinrn will is unmistakably ex-
pressed for a prosecution of the war till rebellion is
conquered. For this Nect only, the loyal States
have under arms 250,0(0 of their citizens, and for
it they are preparing to make a great forward
movement, whenever tie military gentlemen in
command shall give the word. The word " com-
promise" is not listened to to-day; nor will it be
when Congress comes together. Not until the
approaching battle is fought, certainly—and pro-
bably not until others hive been fought after it—
will any terms of settlement be listened to short of
subjection on one side or iadependence on the other.
General Scott has now over 60,000 troops in and
round Washington, including a column of some
3,000 or 4,000 men under ()colonel Stone, who are
thrown up the Potomac as !ar as Point of Rocks as
a corps of observation, and he troops in Baltimore
under General Banks. This great force lies upon
both sides of the Potomin, near Washington—
about 31,000 on the Virginia side, and about 28,000
on the Maryland side. Thy troops on the Maryland
side are mostly about Washington, or so distributed
through the well-reconnoitredcountry at the north
of it as to prevent any surprise from that quarter.
The force on the Virginia side is distributed along
a line of some 10 or 12 miles, from below Alexandria
to Little Falls, above Georgetc%n. A glance at the
map will show you that this disposition makes an
attack upon Washington, ezeept by a vastly
superior force, a certain failure. The columns of
General Patterson and of General Cadwallader,
numbering together about 20000, of which 1,000
are regulars, have not materially changed position
since my last letter. General Johnston, of the rebel
army, with an inferior force, has managed to keep
them in check by moving back upon Winchester,
and has apparently thus far out-generaled them,
General M'Clelland, however, is gradually making
his way through the West by way of the Kanawa
towards the same point, and must inevitably force
General Johnston to fall back upon Manassas Gap.
General M'Clelland is (to speak in plain terms) a
man of different calibre from either of the other
Federal generals operating on General Johnston's
lines, and will not be held in check by an inferior
force. Whenever he reaches the scene of action
General Johnston will probably be unable to main-
tain himself longer.
It appears to be the opinion of the New York
press that General Scott is preparing for an imme-
diate advance. I that be true, it is a changed
policy. I have urderstood from the beginning that
Gen. Johnston was to be driven back before the
advance was made from Washington. The three
columns are moving upon Winchester for that pur-
pose only. When they have done their work the
coast will be clear for Gen. Scott's advance. Until
that is done I doubt whether there will be any ad-
vance from Washington. Nor do I believe it will be
made (I speak without information on this subject)
until Gen. Scott is able to push forward a column
of at least 50,000 men, and until he is fully supplied
with waggons, ambulances, and means of transport,
in all which the army is at present deficient.
The Federal Government have at last taken come
plete possession of Baltimore, and effectually put
down the treasonable element in that town. The
military commander of Fort M'Henry has deposed
the Chief of Police and all his commissioners, and
brought them within the walls of the fort as pri-
soners charged with treason ; and he has organised
a local force in the place of the disaffected force,
and assumed, on the part of the general Govern-
ment, the administration of the police of Baltimore.
Thus the ultimate destruction of the Secession ele-
ment in Maryland and the triumph of the Union
element, which gave several thousand majority at
the late election, is rendered more certain ; and the
possibility of an attack in the rear after the advance
from Washington is guarded against.
As I am writing, the news of Gen. Patterson's
advance across the Potomac and renewed occupa-
tion of Harper's Ferry is received.

The New York Times publishes the usual yearly
summary of the traffic at this port :

This shows a decrease of imports as compared
with the return of the previous year, including
specie, of 70,834,000 dols., and an increase of ex-
ports, including specie, of 10,775,000 dols.
Mr. Wilson, the Treasurer of the New York Cen-
tral Railroad Company, died yesterday of the in-
juries received by throwing himself, in a moment
of derangement, from a window. The public are
assured that there is nothing in his relations with
the company calling for any suspicion. He was a
gentleman whose reputation for integrity was un-
questioned.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Money continued very cheap for call loans, but in the
absence of even a fair business in commercial circles, and a
consequent demand for business purposes, there were more
lenders than borrowers :--Loans on call, Stock Securities,

[ADvErars EmENT.]—liolloway'sOintment.—Measles,
Scarlatina.—These are the first great trials after birth to
which our children are obnoxious. Both diseases are very
infectious, and both require judicious management. In one
the chest, in the other the throat, is most likely to suffer ;
but the mother or nurse will find in Holloway's Ointment
a sovereign balm for these distressing symptoms. When
rubbed upon the throat, chest, and back it is absorbed ; the
respiration becomes more tranquil, the cough less trouble-
some, the lips grow less livid, the eye brightens, and the
countenance loses that anxious gaze always the forerunner
of a sei ions assault on the constitution and nervous system.
This invaluable ointment not only cures the urgent
symptoms, but dispels all dangerous sequels.

Mr. Durkin, superintendent of the F division,
stated that both the gentlemen were in custody.
There was a police officer in attendance on each.
Mr. Corrie—No doubt care will be taken that
neither of the persons, if both are spared, will
escape a full examination here. At present the
affair is wholly inexplicable.
In answer to inquiries at the Charing-cross Hos-
pital last evening, it was stated that the condition
of Mr. Roberts is neither better nor worse than it
was on Saturday last. It has been ascertained, how-
ever, that no portion of his fractured skull presses
upon the brain, and he is therefore conscious, but
the severe beating he received has rendered him so
weak as to leave him unfit to make a deposition,
and indeed he exhibits no inclination to do so. The
medical men in charge of the unfortunate man seem
very hopeful that they will bo able to save his life,
but of course at present they are doubtful on that
point. Major Murray is doing well, and bids fair
soon to recover ; no wound, however, is so treache
rous in its character as that inflicted by a shot, and
hence the surgeons are always prepared, even when
the case seems to be progressing most favourably,
for a change for the worse. Existing circumstances
seem, however, to indicate that such is not likely to
be the case with respect to Major Murray.

It may assist the public, who will no doubt
eagerly peruse the above report, if we append such
facts as have transpired since the publication of our
latest notice on the subject.
Roberts, who remains very ill, has after close
questioning volunteered a statement in reference to
the occurrence. He admits that he had never before
Friday last spoken to Major Murray, and adds that
his conversation with that gentleman was com-
menced by himself in Hungerford-market, and that
it bore reference to a loan which was required for
a hotel company, which he was anxious to arrange
on behalf a client. When questioned as to the
identity of his client Roberts gave the name of a
gentleman named Anstruther, whom he described
as anxious to advance the money. He admits hav-
ing invited Major Murray to his chambers, and
states that on his arrival there the major first shot
himself in the back of his neck, and then attacked
him with the tongs. On being asked whether any
altercation had occurred previously to Major Mur-
ray "shooting himself," Roberts says distinctly
" No." This is all that has been elicited from
Roberts, but from papers found upon his person,
taken in connection with documents discovered in
his chambers, no doubt whatever is entertained by
the police authorities that a clue to the whole affair
has been ascertained. The documents referred to
do not in any way compromise Major Murray, and
a strong Impression prevails that when the facts
are known the object of the attack will be made
perfectly clear and intelligible.
It is not expected that Major Murray will be able
to appear at the police-court before the close of the
week.

THE KING'SWOOD MURDER.

REIGATE, MONDAY EVENING.

This morning Johann Carl Franz, charged with
being concerned in the murder of Martha Halliday,
at Kingswood Rectory, on the night of the 10th of
June last, was again placed at the bar before Mr.
Sherrard, chairman, Mr. W. Street, Mr. Phillips,
and Mr. Hack block, at the Town-hall, which, as
on the previous occasions, was crowded to excess.
Besides the magistrates there were present on the
bench Mr. Alcock, M.P., the Rev. S. B. Taylor, in-
cumbent of Kingswood, and Mrs. Taylor (at whose
house the murder was committed); Capt. Hastings,
chief constable of Surrey, and many of the leading
inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
The prisoner was brought up from Horsemonger-
lane Gaol handcuffed. He listened with marked
interest to every portion of the evidence. Mr. Grece,
solicitor, of Red-hill, again acted as interpreter.
Inspector Whicher (who has charge of the case)
informed the bench that since the last examination
of the prisoner, a reply had been received at the
Foreign-office from the British Consul at Dresden,
who had been requested by Lord John Russell to
make inquiries as to the antecedents of the prisoner.
It appeared from information thus obtained, that the
prisoner left Konigstein in April last, where he had
been working on a railway, and had wm ked his way
by water to Hamburg, in the employ of Mr. Bremer,
a raftsman. He then came to Hull by steamer. The
prisoner had borne a very indifferent character in
Germany, and had suffered two years and eight
months' imprisonment there for felony. He had
left a wife and two or three children at Shandau, in
Saxony, of which place he was a native.
A number of witnesses were examined, including
Mdlle. Tietjens, with a view to prove the identity
of the prisoner, but no new facts were proved.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was then
committed to the assizes for trial, and the witnesses
were bound over to prosecute.
Mr. Colquhoun, Secretary of the Embassy of
Saxony, attended the inquiry, and towards its close
had a brief conversation with the prisoner. What
transpired it is not necessary to state, but for the
first time since his apprehension he seemed to realise
the full extent of his position, and shed tears for
several minutes.

The chairman before leaving the bench begged to
express the thanks of the magistrates to Mr. Grece,
the interpreter, for the assistance he had rendered
during the inquiry, and also to Inspector Whicher
and Sergeant Robinson, whose services had been
productive of the most beneficial results.

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.--It cost £5,709 to
light the houses and approaches in the year ending the
31st of March last. The expenditure upon the building and
furnishing, lighting and ventilating of the Houses since
the commencement of last year has been £35,769 ; this is
in addition to the current expenses of maintenance and re-
pairs, lighting, and ventilating, and it does not include the
cost of decoration with fresco paintings and statuary. Per-
haps the next generation may be fortunate enough to see
the Houses really finished, and know the annual expense of
maintaining them.

The following curious narrative of the escape of
two convicts from Millbank Penitentiary on Sun-
day night and their recapture within three hours
afterwards by the officers, who were instantly
sent on their track, is such a striking proof of
the efficiency and vigilance of the police as to
well deserve recording. It is very seldom indeed
that any escape ever takes place from the great
prisons where convicts undergo the first instal--
anent of their sentences to penal servitude. As
a matter of course, among such hardened inmates
half of whom are skilled in housebreaking, and all
are more or less proficient in "dodges" of every
kind, attempts to break their bounds are fre-
quent. But long experience of these ventures aids
the restrictive measures of the prison authorities
to such a degree that, as a rule, they are always
equal to their task, and a successful or unsuccess-
ful attempt to escape becomes a mere question of
superior strategy and cunning on both sides.
The immense strength of Newgate, Dartmoor, and
other new prisons, renders efforts to escape from
them almost utterly hopeless. Not so, however,
with the Penitentiary, which, intended for a bar-
rack, was built of brick, and was afterwards with
difficulty converted into a prison, and, probably,
now holds within its walls more desperate cha-
racters than could be found in the same circum-
ference in any other part of the globe. The clas-
sification of these, therefore, is important to the
warders, who soon see the men who are likely to
endeavour to get away, and who at once take mea-
sures not only to frustrate their attempts, but also
to capture them again If successful. Thus the
haunt of every felon likely to break his bounds is as
well known as the man himself. The esesr.: of
Sunday was planned by three convicts, and two
succeeded. From the way in which it was effected
it must have been an affair carried on for many
weeks. The three men were confined in one of the
basement cells, from which an iron ventilator in the
wall communicated with a cellar beyond. At a
quarter to nine the hammocks in the cells are let
down, and by nine all the convicts are in bed, and
an open grating in the door of each cell allows the
sentry to see that every man is sleeping, while once
or twice in each night the cells themselves are
entered and examined. The first care, therefore, of
the three convicts was to make a perfect dummy
with a regular nightcap, which was put in the
hammock in place of the one at work. The next
move was to get out the bricks round the ventilator.
This must have been a long opeption, for their
tools were bad and the walls very thick, and, what
was more, in order to enable the sentries to detect
all attempts of the kind the bricks were white-
washed. But the convicts imitated this whitewash,
and when they replaced the inner wall of bricks
each morning made a composition to resemble mor-
tar and whitened it all over with the whitening
they are supplied with for cleaning their tins, so
that the most careful scrutiny in the day failed to
detect the aperture. With such exquisite nicety
was this done that even after the men were gone
and everyone was marvelling how they could have
escaped the opening was not discovered. As soon
as the cellar beyond was gained the men only
worked from one in the morning till about four.
In this cellar was another ventilator leading out
into the prison grounds, though still within the
walls. The convict working at removing the
bricks round this ventilator had a string
fastened to his waist, the other end of which
was held by his companions in the cell.
Whenever they heard anything unusual, or
thought the sentry was coming to enter
the cells, they pulled the string and the convict at
work instantly returned through the narrow hole
in the wall, replaced the ventilator and piece of
brickwork, and was in his hammock again in a
minute. At last all was ready for getting through
the walls. The three men being employed during
the day in making up soldiers' greatcoats for the
Government had contrived, by little and little, to
get together a great quantity of string, which they
platted into a long rope ladder, and hid in the cel-
lar. They also managed, though how no one knows,
to get three of the soldiers' greatcoats there also,
and Sunday night last was fixed for the attempt.
The time chosen was between half-past 8 and 9,
when the men are sent to their cells for the night.
After 9 sentries are posted all round the outer walls,
so that the men knew they must be away before
that hour or not at all. They accordingly went to
their cell, let down the hammocks, and two of them
put in their dummies with nightcaps on under the
clothes. But at this point the heart of the third,
who had only a three years' sentence, failed him,
and he refused to ge!). Of the other two one was a
very desperate character, who had been transported
before, and was then under sentence of 15 years'
penal servitude. The ether, though not so bad, was
bad enough, for he also was a returned tranaport,
and was again convicted last autmn, and sentenced
to 15 years'. These two therefore were determined
to risk everything to escape, and they accordingly
got through the wall into the cellar, where they put
on their soldiers' greatcoats. With the aid of their
twine ladder they quickly scaled the inner high
prison wall, then the outer, and running across the
grass enclosure near Vauxhall-bridge, climbed the
railings, and ran away. Just, however, as they
cleared the railings a gentleman saw them and re-
cognised their partly convict dress as they made off.
He at once gave information at the gate of the pri-
son. An alarm was sounded, the cells were searched,
and dummies found in the hammocks of the two
runaways. Instantly the case was put into the
hands of four -warders most skilful in tracing con•
victs. An examination of their previous notes about
the men showed conclusively that there were two
thieves' haunts to one of which they were certain to
go, and with this to guide them, they started in
pursuit. Inquiries in the neighbourhood of the pri-
soon ascertained that the fugitives had taken a
Hansom cab, telling the driver to go as fast as he
could, as their sister had met with an accident, and
been taken to an hospital at the east end of the town.
This direction quite corroborated the conjectures at
the warders and they accordingly started in a cab
to the first of the two places the convicts were likely
to make for. Here distributing themselves, a series
of observations and cautious "Inspector Bucket"
like inquiries were made, the general result of which
soon convinced them that the fugitives were not
there. Two warders, however, remained to lounge
about and watch, while the other two proceeded to
draw the next thieves' covert in the purlieus of St.
Luke's. Ten minutes sufficed to convince these ex-
perienced runners that the men were thereabouts.
As, however, the neighbourhood was a very bad
one, and the convicts were not likely to return for
the asking, the warders got the assistance of four
constables of the G division in plain clothes. With
this accession to their strength and detective sagacity
the track was quickly and cautiously followed up,
and the runaways traced to a public, house. A few
careless inquiries and a little lounging in and out
and the police felt certain that the men had been
there, and that, though they were not there then,
they had, nevertheless, not been seen to leave.
This enigma was at once understood by the detec-
tives. The convicts had been there, changed their
clothes, and gone away without being recognised
again, and this proved actually to be the case.
With this slight clue to show them that they must no
longer attempt to follow their track by their dress,
another way was tried, and the fugitives' steps so
closely followed that at last the detectives got posi-
tive information that both the convicts, very respect-
ably dressed in their new clothes, would pass down
Britannia-street at 11 o'clock. Here, accordingly, the
six pursuers concealed themselves, and waited. But
11 o'clock came, and five and ten minutes, and then
a quarter past, but still no convicts. At last the
-warders and police issued out to try back upon the
tracks, and, as they were in the act of turning: he
corner of Britannia-street, came full upon the two
n
men, who, a little behind their time, were walking
quickly arm-in•arm, thinking
recapture. There was an instant recognition, and
as anything butwa theirdg
as instantly a desperate struggle,
which taxed the
strength and determination ofthe warders and
police, for the men fought, kicked, and bit feroci-
ously. One, indeed, was so near getting off that a
policeman had to use his staff. As soon as they
were fairly overpowered cabs were brought up be-
fore an alarm could spread or a rescue be attempted,
and i
before 12 o'clock both men were ironed and
back in their cells at Milbank. Thus they made
their escape at 9, before half-past 9 the warders
and detectives were in pursuit of them ; an hour
afterwards the police were on a certain track, and
soon after 11, in spite of all disguise, the men were
retaken, and before midnightwere restored to their
prison again. Fouche's annals contain nothing
more cleverly managed on both sides than this escape
and quick recapture.

THE LATE TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION AT
HACKNEY WlCK.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. John Hum-
phreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquest at
the London Hospital respecting the death of Andrew Luck-
man, aged 29, who lost his life by the explosion on the pre-
mises of Mrs. Landon, a bone button manufacturer, at
Hackney Wick, on Wednesday morning last. The jury
returned a verdict of accidental death.
