so many years of suffering and depression, we are e
posed at any time to a violent reaction. Some curiesio
is felt to learn what Sir Robert Peel will propose
ting,
regard to the income-tax, when the term for its conaf
ante expires. The Commissioners for the Reduction t
the Debt will again have a surplus for daily invest vibe
but whether the greater part will be appropriated to tse
redemption of Exchequer Bills, or of the The

curities, is not yet ascertained. The forlio
bearing the highest rate of interest, are Is
greatest burden on the country, but then it is 111%:1

so now the desire for railroad speculation is so greti:
to leave a tolerable amount of Government floating sec
rities in circulation.
We learn from Bremen tl at there were never beffer
so large a number of emigrants waiting in that port °

The following notice of the death of Mr. W. 51..
Boyd, Political Commissioner in Guzerat, and the Ver
dent at the Court of Baroda, is from the Bombay jd
datum's Gazette. Mr. Boyd has, we fear, fallen a;710
to that which kills more than one-half our other
—" one year too long in India :"—" It is with feeAeotll
of sincere and unfeigned regret that we record the ‘..oer
of Mr. William Sprot Boyd, late Political Coninlissioble
in Guzerat, and Resident at Baroda. This lamentot.
event occurred at Surat, on Tuesday, the 13th illsyjouf
The deceased gentleman had for some time Predeval
been unwell, and had stopped at Surat, on his way hoe
to Bombay. Had he lived it was his intention t° „ gbe
proceeded to England by a steamer which leaves e2ith instant. The intellectual powers of the late eat°
Boyd were of a superior order, and his acquirer fie
very extensive. He was well read, and intinistqeve
quainted with the political state of India ; and his 3'olll
ledge of the habits and customs of the natives gerlesito
so excellent, that he frequently brought it to hear 10
such facility and effect, that it surpasses description., ja
his public character he was prompt and decisive:o'oW
whatever capacity he was serving the Governs'
whether as Collector, Commissioner, Secretary, or 0;
dent, he was beloved by all his inferiors, and the ri2t
Boyd was never spoken of by them but with resPeeß,
admiration. In his private character he was frae,oble;
right, and full of honourable feeling ; generouiy ,°;„,sJl
and unostentatious, he was universally esteemed pee'
who had the honour of his acquaintance. His Tempe':
will be held in veneration while Bombay is in el's.,—,lool
In him, we may most truly say, the Government h°,rigbi
atalented and considerate protector, and society a
and distinguished ornament."
