REAL PROPERTT.—A return has been obtained by
order of Parliament, on the motion of Mr. Villiers, showing
the total annual value of real property in each county of
England and Wales assessed to the property and income-tax
for the year ending April, 1843, distinguishing that on land,
houses, tithes, manors, fines, quarries, mines, ironworks,
fisheries, canals, railways, &c. It hence appears that in
England and Wales alone the grand total annual value of
real assessed property amounts to the enormous sum of
85,802,735/, thus sub-divided, viz. :—Lands, 40,167,088/.
(or nearly one-half) ; houses, 35,556,399/. ; tithes, 1,960,330/. ;
manors, 152,216/. ; fines, 319,140/. ; quarries, 207,009/. ;
mines, 1,903,794/. ; iron works, 412,022/. ; fisheries, 11,104/. ;
canals, 1,229,202/. ; and railways, 2,417,609/. ' • other property,
not comprised in the foregoing, 1,466,8151. A similar return
as to Scotland gives a grand total of 9,481,7621., viz. :
Lands 5,586,527/. ; houses, 2,919,3381. ; fines, 901/. ; quarries,
33,471/. ; mines, 177,592/. ; iron works, 147,412/. ; fisheries,
47,809/. ; canals, 77,891/. ; and railways, 181,3331. Tke other

master-General that the opportunities of forwarding mails
between Madeira and the Azore Islands are of very unfrequent
occurrence, whilst there is a constant communication between
those islands and Lisbon ; letters, &c., addressed to the Azore
Islands, will be forwarded to Lisbon by each dispatch of the
Peninsular packet, unless specially marked to be sent by any
other channel." The postage at present charged on letters to
Lisbon, viz., Is. 9d. when not exceeding half an ounce, and
so on, must be paid on letters addressed to the Azore Islands
forwarded by the route of Lisbon.
