COAL AND SALT DITTIES.

MR. EDIToR,—To put an end to the interested
clamour which is raised against the repeal of the
Duties on Coals and S.-.lt, and without imposing
on the lower orders of Society any additional
burthens, 1 beg leave to submit, through your
impartial Paper, the propriety of giving to the
Government something more than an equivalent
for the repeal of these Duties—by the imposition
of a Tax on PROPERTY, double their annual
amount. Ido not mean a Tax on Income, but a
Tax on Property. It can be collected without any
additional expellee to the Country or trouble to
the People, and may be estimated on the present
rental of Lands and ?louses, and of Monies in the
Funds. To enumerate the advantages to the
Nation by the adoption of this suggestion, both
as to the repeal of the Coal and Salt Duties, and
by the imposition of a Tax on PROPERTY, cannot
be'necessary, as they must be self-evident to the
meanest capacity, and to the most superficial
observer.

In the House of Commons last -night, in an-
swer to a question of Mr. MARTIN, Mr. WVeL•
LESLEY PoLE stated the gratifying fact, that in
the cow se of a few days the Bank would be sup-
plied with at least 30,0001. a week, till the circu-
lation was thought sufficiently increased ; and if
even a larger supply were called for, the demand
would be satisfied.

Yesterday the .Cabinet Ministers dined with
Air. \WELLESLEY POLE, at his house i❑ Saville-
row.

Advices from Madrid state, that the vigorous
measures adopted for the suppression of the nu-
merous banditti, in various i parts of the king-
dom, had been productive of the most decisive
good effects, and that they had all been nearly
subdued.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was hell at the
East India -House, when Capt. G. TENNANT was

signed to China direct.
The Election of a Member for the County of
Edinburgh, in the room of Sir GEORGE CLERK,
now a Lord of the Admiralty, takes place in the
County-hall here, on Monday, the 15th current.—>
(Edinburgh Courant, March 3.)
Tue following is an extract of a letLr" from
Liverpool, dated March 8 : Th;-e•triiip-carpen-
ters at this port struck their his day for an,
advance of wages ; they have htiherto conducted
themselves iptietly, and without any disposition
to riot ; and I doubt not but the business will soon
be settled between them and their employers. The
agent. for the Spanish Government has succeeded
in engaging two vessels at this port as transports,
for conveying troops to South America—the Chi-
rence, of 316 tons ; and the Wellington, of 365
tons, It is understood they pay three months in
advance."

JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.-,—At the adjourned
Sessions for the County of Surrey, just terminated,
two youthful depredators, Catherine Mooney and
Anne Land, neither of them more than ten years
of age, were convicted of Felony, and iii conse-
quence of their being old offenders, having each
been tried several times before, were sentenced to
seven years transportation. The worthy Chairman,
Mr. HAttalsoN, has, however, by his humane in-
terference, obtained a_ comtnutation of their pu-
nishment, to that of imprisonment 3 in furtherance
of which, they were this morning removed from
the Jail in Horsemonger-lane to the Penitentiary
at Milibank.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..--YeSterday Barthote-
, men, Broughton, a Naval Officer, who already has
undergone several examinations 00 snspicion of
having robbed the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane,
and the Swan with two Necks, Lad-lane, where
he had slept at different times, was brought
up before the Sitting Magistrate at Guildhall,
Mr. Alderman WAITU MAN, for what was con-
sidered a final hearing, it being understood
that one of the bank-notes, stolen from the White
Horse Inn, had been traced to his possession. On
his enteting the office, his countenance betrayed
great indisposition, which was supposed to be the
result of mental agitation; subsequently lie com-
plained to Leadbeat er,,the Maishalman, who had
• him in custody, that he was very ill, and at
length confessed that he had taken laudanum.—
Medical assistance was immediately sent for; and
the prisoner taken into the Magistrate's; par-
lour ; an emetic was administered, but 'with-
out dicer, and subsequently another. Its this
state he was placed at the bar, in a- chair,
when the worthy Alderman, considering him not
in a fit state to undergo his examination, re-
mantled him till Friday next .; and he was ac-
cordingly conveyed to the Infirmary of the Comp.
'ter, with instructions to the ofliccrs to scud for
the medical attendant immediately.
