Minister would do something great for the trading
interests ; the agriculturists were not yet alienated;
and toe country at large was somewhat wearied of
political contests, and mu.:h more disposed than is
wont to suffer passively, an experiment from new
rulers. In addition to these considerations there was
the highly-important one, that the income-tax was
proposed as a temporary measure. Its operation was
to be severe but speedy, and however painfully it
might be felt, there was the consolation that in three
years it would be at an end.
Under such circumstances the income-tax became
law with far less difficulty than might have been
expected, but its grievous hardship and injustice have
realised the worst anticipations of its opponents. A
proposal to renew this tax in its present form for an
indefinite period, or for even three years longer, would
be as unpopular a measure as any that could be
brought forward. It is not possible, however, to sur-
rende:r an
income of five millions a year, and there-
fore it is important to observe the nature and bearing
of the two wholly dissimilar taxes which, under the
general head of property-tax, or income-tax, yield
that amount of revenue. This distinction was exhi-
bited very clearly in the last number of the West-
minster Review, by a writer whose facts and reason-
ings are well worthy of attention :
" Sir Robert Peel," says the reviewer, " when he
came into office, imposed two new taxes—a tax upon
property, correctly so called, just and equitable in
principle; and an income-tax, ur a tax upon the
wages of labour and the profits of trade, however
precarious the source from which they might be
derived—a tax at once oppressive and inquisitorial.
" Oppressive, because the annual payment of 91.
to a clerk dependent for the support of himself and
family upon a salary of 3001. is a burden dispropor-
tioned to his means; and unjust, because a burden
greatly exceeding the tax imposed upon the rich man,
although nominally the same in amount.
" For example : 3001. per annum arising from
capital invested in the Three per Cents., are at the
present moment worth 10,000/. The income of a
clerk is unsaleable; it depends upon personal services,
for which he may be incapacitated at any moment;
and if he die, his family are beggars. Yet the clerk
is called upon to contribute the same amount to the
revenue as a rich man with 10,000/. in the funds !"
It is this tax upon incomes gained in trade and by
personal exertion which produces five-sixths of the
hardship and annoyance associated in the public mind
with the whole system. It is this which gives rise to
the inquisitorial examination into the circumstances
of every trader. It is this which exposes the poverty
which so often lies concealed beneath an exterior of
professional respectability. It is this which presses,
with unrelenting severity, on that portion of the mid-
dle classes with whom the struggle to make out life is
most difficult, and who are least able to bear such a
burden. But as the Westminster reviewer observes,
the same objections do not apply to the tax upon
landed and funded property, or, in other words, to
that which is really the "property-tax." It is col-
lected with ease, certainty, and YeFy little expense.
It does not involve vexatious inquisition into private
affairs, and if it stood alone, it would provoke as small
a share of popular dislike as any other form of direct
taxation. Keeping in view, then, the broad distinction

CALEDONIAN SOCIETY.
The anniversary dinner of this excellent institution
took place last evening at the London Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street. It was attended by a numerous
and very respectable,assemblage, who evinced a warm
interest in the admirable objects for which the society
was established, namely—contributing in various
forms to the support and protection of the less fortu-
nate members of the Scottish nation resident in
London. The appearance of the assembly was ren-
dered peculiarly brilliant and interesting by the pre-
sence of a large number of the fair sex, and the
picturesque garb of several gentleman who attended
the dinner in full Highland costume. At half-past
six o'clock about 130 sat down to dinner, which wr.s
provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breache in that supe-
rior manner that characterises their establishment.
James Wylie, Esq., in the chair.
The usual loyal and national preliminary toasts
having been given,
Mr. BOUCHER said that the object of the Caledonian
Society was to co-operate with other benevolent asso-
ciations in London which had for their object the
benefit and advantage of poor natives of Scotland and
their children, and amongst the most valuable of those
institutions he might name the Caledonian Asylum,
the Scottish Hospital, and the Highland School
Society. Those associations had conferred the great-
est possible advantages upon hundreds of their fellow-
countrymen and their offspring, and it ought to be
the desire of every friend of Scotland to support them.
—(Hear, hear.) The object of this society was to
co-operate with all those institutions, by subscriptions
and otherwise ; and there could not be a greater ser-
vice rendered to their less fortunate countrymen.
Many an unfortunate son of Scotland had been relieved
in the hour of his distress by these institutions:; and
many a child of Scottish parents had been brought
up at their schools in such a manner as not only
to enable them to provide for themselves in life, but
to reflect honour upon the name of Scotland.--(Loud
cheers.) The purpose of the present meeting was
rather to assemble in a social and festive spirit ; but
he could not avoid taking that opportunity of briefly
adverting to the nature and purpose of the Caledonian
Society. As he said that its object was co-operation
with other benevolent institutions, he could not do
anything more in accordance with the views of its
members than to propose the health of the gentlemen
from those other societies who had that night honoured
them with their presence.
The toast was drunk with much applause.
The next toast was " The Caledonian Society,"
which was drunk with Highland honours.
Several other national toasts were proposed and
drunk, amongst which was "The Memory of Burns,"
given in a touching and eloquent manner by the
Chairman, and responded to by the a! sembly with
much feeling.
Various Scottish songs were sung during the even
ing, and the company separated at a late hour.

THE CROOM POACHING:AFFRAY
VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST
TWO OF THE POACHERS.
WORCESTER, JAN. 7.—The jury, impannelled be-
fore the Coroner of this city (J. B. Hyde, Esq.), to
inquire into the cause of the death of Thomas Staite,
who died in the Worcester Infirmary on the 24th
ult., met this day by appointment to resume their
inquiry, which, it will be recollected, was adjourned
from the 27th of December to this day. In the mean-
time, as has already been stated in this paper, several
parties have been apprehended on suspicion of having
been concerned in this murderous outrage ; and two
of them (Francis Dingley and Joseph Turvey) are
now in the Worcester county prison, whither they
have been committed by two county magistrates, who
however thought proper to exclude the press from
reporting the evidence of the witnesses examined.
But the Coroner, as usual, threw open his court to
the public. The facts of the case have been already
given in this journal.
When the whole of the witnesses had been exa-
mined,
The CORONER commented on and explained the
evidence, and after a short deliberation, the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Joseph
'Purvey and Francis Dingley, and some other persons
to the jury unknown."
At the termination of the inquiry one of the jurors
addressed to the Coroner and his brother jurymen
some observations on the subject of the preservation
of life, which is so intimately connected with this in-
quiry. He observed that the horrid spectacle which
they had witnessed at the commencement of 'their
proceedings, in the mangled corpse of the murdered
gamekeeper, and the horrifying picture which must
have been drawn before their minds' eyes from the
details of the several witnesses, could not fail to have
excited in them feelings of sorrow and disgust; and
although he was aware that, strictly, their duties as
jurors, were limited to an inquiry as to how the ill-
fated man Thomas Staite had come to his death, still
they could not overlook the cause which had led to so
dreadful a result ; and he thought that an expression
of their feelings on that subject would not be out of
place. He, therefore, proposed that they should ap-
pend to their verdict a declaration of their sentiments
in the following terms :
" That the jury cannot but deplore the continuance
of laws so immoral in their tendency, so fruitful in
crime, and so destructive to human life, as the game-
laws have proved, after long experience, throughout
the lengthand breadth of the country; and that they
strongly recommend their abrogation.
Several jurymen expressed their concurrence in
these sentiments.
The CORONER said, that whatever might be )43 feel-
ings on the subject, he could not attach such a de-
claration as the above to their verdict, for that such a
step would most probably lead to a reprimand on him
from the judge for introducing extraneous matter.

regular importer, if it does not inculcate any new
lesson, gives additional weight to formerly, we should
say, already toi dearly purchased experience, and
affords a very severe warning not to place too much
confidence in estimates of crops, as the increased
energy and activity which all advance in price gives
to the planter to secure all he possibly can, tend to
make an otherwise short crop, as we have seen this
year, into a full average one. Estimates of crops,
even when made with honest intentions, it should be
borne in mind, are mere guess work, and may be ren-
dered erroneous from a variety of causes it is quite
impossible at the moment to foresee.
Notwithstanding the short crop, we have had at
one period of the year, viz., the week ending 12th
July, the largest stock of cotton ever before held in
port ; it reached the enormous amount of 998,400
bag.% It has since materially diminished, but we
have still a considerable excess of stock over last
year. The long prevalence of easterly winds
during this month have kept back the sup-
plies, so that as yet we have received com-
paratively little of the new crop, although it
is said to have been an earlier one by some weeks than
the last. The change of wind, which seems now
about to set in, will bring in the large supply now on
the way, so that we shall, in all probability, see a
constant addition made to the stock for a long period.
During the past month the prospect of an increasing
demand for goods and yarn at the turn of the year,
has induced many consumers to purchase largely, so
that on the whole a very ample supply is now held
by the trade, about on a par, it is supposed, with the
quantity they had on hand at the close of last year.
The increase of consumption, although considerable,
is not so large as might have been anticipated from
the additional quanity of machinery brought into
operation ; this is supposed to arise chiefly from the
inducement offered for an increased production of the
lighter fabrics; whilst the manufacture of heavier
descriptions of goods, requiring a greater weight of
cotton, had been attended with less benefit.
We think we may with safety congratulate our
friends on the prospects for the future, as we do not
recollect a period when the year commenced under
more favourable auspices; there seems to be nothing
in the distance but what is cheering and encouraging
to skill and industry. The quantity of cotton al-
ready gathered of the lest crop, is sufficient
security against high prices for a long period
to come. The value of cotton is, from the
latest accounts, declining in the United States,
and seems likely to be purchased there on terms
that will induce the importer to bring it at once
on the market. The export from America exceeds
already 150,000 bales, the greater part of which is
still to arrive; so that if we continue to be blessed by
Providence with abundant harvests, cheap cotton, and
cheap food—the chief elements of prosperity to this
country--must give an additional stimulus to trade,
and whilst it affords increased comforts to all at home,
must render also essential benefit to those distant na-
tions whose products are exchanged for our manu-
factures.

He would, however, if the jury wished it, forward
their declaration to the Secretary of State.
This suggestion was adopted, and the whule of the
jurors signed the paper, one of them, at the same
time, remarking that our gaols were half filled with
offenders against the game-laws.
Before separating, the jurors directed their fees to be
handed over to the widow of the murdered man ; and
a hope was expressed that the trustees of the Earl of
Coventry (now an infant) would secure her and her
family from want.
