PILOT BOAT RUN DOWN AND FIVE MEN
DROWNED.—On Monday night, about seven o'clock,
the Clarence (pilot boat), the property of William
Adams, deep sea pilot, was run down, near to the Cum -
brae Heads, by the American ship Olive Branch, Ha_
gerdon, from Greenock to Savannah. There were six
individuals on board the pilot boat, five of whom were
drowned, via., John Miller, William Daw, and Robert
M'Neil, pilots ; and John M'lntosh, and Donald Craw
ford,.„ seamen, belonging to the pilot boat. Daniel
Kerr, pilot, was saved by getting into the punt.— Glasgow
Courier.
ASSESSED TAXES.—Now that Sir Robert has got
a surplus revenue, he may readily vary the assessed
taxes. Instead of eight windows being subjected to
duty, let the scale be no lower than twenty ; repeal the
duty upon trade horses, carriages, horses and dogs of
earners, carriages let to hire, and horse dealers' duty.
Lighten these burdens, and add to the following luxuries
—they are luxuries, and the parties can and ought to
pay for them :—General game certificates, instead of
41. Os. lod., make them 51. ; gamekeepers, instead of
11.75. 6d., 2/. ; greyhounds, instead of 11.28., 21.; pointers,
instead of 15s. 5d., 1/. ; and mind, also,' that the
e shabby-genteel " gentlemen are reached for their
4.4 Tom-sad-Jerry " gigs,—From a Correspondent.
