ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.

We were much pleased, on visiting the Adelaide
Gallery yesterday, with a lecture on Atmospheric Rail-
ways, delivered by Mr. W. J. Hay. This gentleman
not only possesses a vast fund of information on the sub-
ject himself, but he also possesses the power of commu-
nicating that information in a clear and understandable
Form to others. The lecture is illustrated by a model of
•.1 railway, on which the carriages are propelled on at-
mospheric principle. On this model a small carriage
drags a load of half a hundred weight up an incline of
1 in 6, with the greatest ease, and without any apparent
loss of speed. Several gentlemen present put questions
to the lecturer as to the principle of atmospheric propul-
sion, and as to the advantages which it possessed over
the system at present in general use, all of which were
answered satisfactorily—indeed, Mr. Hay throughout
courted the fullest inquiry. During the present mania
for railway speculations, this lecture cannot fail to prove
attractive.

NEW SETTLEMENT BILL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The Tories, for electioneering purposes, made the
first new Poor.law Act the stalking hobby—the " howl and
Skilly" horse—upon which to ride. Mark their political
vill—y ! Ever since they regained what they wanted—
power, and to " landholder legislate as, for years, they had
done—directly we had additional new poor-laws ! Not con-
tent with this, the Tory Government are now actually hatch-
ing a further poor-law, the effect of which will be to remove
every chargeable poor person to their place of birth ! The
Bill I have perused most attentively, and the more I reflect
upon it the more the blood runs cold within my veins. Good
God! every chargeable poor person to be removed to his
birth-place I Surely, for the sake of humanity—for the sake
of Christian feeling—this Bill will not pass into law. I hope
every honest Member in Parliament will oppose its progress
obstruct," as the Tories did any good measure of the
Whigs—obstruct its progress in the Commons ; and if they
see it is creeping its ugly length along continue to obstruct
and retard, as much as possible, so as to afford the public
an opportunity of petitioning against it. Shoidd 'this out-
rageous Bill become a law it is impossible to foresee its con-
sequences. I am, Sir,

DEATH or SIR T. F. BUXTON, BART.—We regret
to state that letters have been received in town this morn-
ing, announcing the death of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton,
Bart., on the 19th inst., at his seat, Northrepps, Norfolk,
after a lingering illness, which for the last fortnight had con-
fined him to his bed. This distinguished man first became
known to his country by his exertions to diminish the suf-
ferings of those at home, whether confined in gaols or strug-
gling in deepest poverty, as the Spitalfields manufacturers a
quarter ofa century ago. Entering Parliament, he commenced
that career of enlarged and comprehensive usefulness which
will always associate his name with the abolition of slavery
in the West Indies, and with the most active endeavours to
confirm and improve the measures for the abolition of the
slave-trade; and not less with the admirable, though not
equally successful, efforts for the benefit of the African race
in their own vast continent. The comparative failure of the
Niger expeditton preyed, there was reason to fear, on his
spirits and on his health ; though he never ceased to feel, that
every measure which wisdom and zeal, combined in the Go-
vernment which directed that expedition, could effect to in•
sure its success, had been faithfully employed; but it pleased

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 21.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall.)
BOWLES V. MILLBOURNE.

This was an action brought a!;ainst the defendant as a stakeholder.
The plaintiff and another person agreed to trot their horses, one
against the other, for 501. There was an agreement drawn up be-
tween the uarties that in case one of the parties made default the
bet should be paid to the other. The money having been lodged with
the defendant, the plaintiff, the day before the race was to be run,
demanded back his money, but it was refused.
There was no dispute as to the facts of the case ; but Mr. Lee, on
the part of the plaintiff, submitted that, as this was a bet on a trotting
match for more than 10/., it came within the statute of Queen Aline. On
the part of the defendant, it was contended„by Mr. Hill, that, as the
bets had been deposited, as it was, under contract, the plaintiff was
not entitled to recover.—Verdict for the defendant, with liberty to
move.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

We bad anticipated great things from Miss •Ciishman's
Lady Macbeth, and we have not been disappointed. She
appeared in this character last evening, and, since the days
of Mrs. Siddons, the British stage has seen no Lady Macbeth
who can for one moment be compared to her. From the first
scene to the last she was perfect. It was a Shaksperian re"-
presentation in the highest sense of the word. Never has
•' the power of thought, the magic of the mind"—never has
the despotic power which the strong will exercises over the
weak one, been more powerfully developed than it was by
Miss .Cushman, in those scenes of the play in which Lady
Macbeth screws the courage of her husband up to "the
sticking place." There was something perfectly sublime
in her manner of giving the words " Leave the
rest to me." In the banquet scene, too, she was
truly magnificent. ller manner of giving the words,
" Are you a man ?" was perfeqly. thrilling, and
contrasted most forcibly with the dignified condescen-
sion of her manner to her guests. The last scene was a
-triumph of art. The audience shuddered at the " out
damned spot ;" and in witnessing the closing agonies of that
ambitious spirit, one was almost inclined to adopt the creed
of those theologians who .issert that the real hell is the hell
of conscience. It were useless to particularise further. Were
we to point out all the beauties of her perfqrmance, we should
have to transcribe the part, and to write opposite each line
" beautiful," " perfect." Mr. Forrest was the Macbeth.
Beautiful in parts—the dagger soliloquy, for. instance—it
was as a whole most uneven. This gentleman seeks to
produce effect by strong contrasts, but he, exaggerates
too much ; his repose sometimes sinks into tame-
ness (at times he was quite inaudible), and his
energy occasionally degenerates into rant. Still he possesses
great power; but it wants regulation. Last night, however,
can hardly be considered as a fair test of his abilities. At the
very beginning of the evening there was a most' ungenerous
attempt made to crush him, and the very fact of knowing that
a portion of his audience is unfriendly to him is sufficient to de-
prive any actor of that perfect command over his powers,
which it is absolutely necessary he should have, to enable him
to do full justice to his author and to himself. Graham's
Macduff was a very careful and praiseworthy performance.
Graham and Miss Cushman were called for at the fall of the
curtain, and enthusiastically applatided. The house was
crowded.

from all the schedules be in 1844 in the same proportion to
those above 150/., as in 1801 (and there is no reason that
they should not), then the total income of Great Britain in
18-04 should amount to 257,787,3751. We consider that of
this amount 200,000,000/. may be estimated as the rents and
profits of all realised property—viz., the rents and profits on
all lands, tenements, houses, and constructions, including
factories, warehouses, docks, ship-yards, railways, canals,
public funds, Bank oiEngland Stock, East India and South
Sea Stock, and the stock and shares of all Companies whose
stocks and shares are bought and sold in the market.

EXPORT DUTIES Oli COAL.

Mr. HODSON HINDE wished to put—a
question to the
Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer),
on the subject of the export duty on coals, very similar to that
just put by the Hon. Member for Gateshead. Whilst it was
probable that the duty would be taken off, persons who had
coal to ship for abroad were unwilling to pay the duty. He
wished to ask when it was intended the duty should be taken
off, in the event of Parliament agreeing with the repeal?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could only
give the same answer as to the former question, that the duty
would cease from the day when the resolution should have been
agreed to in Committee.—( Hear, hear,)

CUSTOMS' DUTIES.
M. M. MINES wished also to put a question to his Right
Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was aware
of the wish of his Right Hon. Friend to act with every consi-
deration towards vested capital ; and as there were several ar-
ticles included in the proposed Customs' reductions, which
would seriously affect vested capital, he (Mr. Milnes) wished
to ask whether Members would be at liberty to discuss the pro-
priety of the reduction in the case of each article by itself ?
Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
question put by the Hon. Member could be as well answered
by any other Hon. Gentleman as by himself. Each item
would be put by the Chairman, and any Hon. Member who
thought proper to object to any one in particular might do so.
In answer to a question from Mr. HAWES,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that
the remission of duty would take place from the date of the
passing of the resolution except where a particular date was
specified.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
LEGISLATION.
The following are the suggestions contained in the docu-
ment prepared by an eminent commercial authority, portions
of which have been published :
Pro forma View of equalizing the Annual Revenue and
Expenditure, presuming that the Excise and Assessed
Taxes, and the Stamps on Marine and Fire Assurances,
and also the Duties of Customs (except eight) should be
abolished, and adding Distilled Spirits and Malt, now
under the Excise, to the Customs, and Excise Licences to
the Stamps : abolishing all other of the Assessed Taxes,
and the whole Excise establishment.
First. Assuming the total annual expenditure
not to exceed
Revenue necessary to meet this expendi-
ture, to be raised as follows
1. From duties on (1) Tea • (2) Sugar and
Molasses • (3) Coffee and Cocoa ; (4) To-
bacco; (%) Distilled Spirits; (6) Wines;
(7) Dried Fruits; (8) 5pice5...£21,500,0001

ther made at 10,000,000 31,500,000

abr0ad..........
3. Stamps, leaving out Marine and Fire In-
surances, and including licenses now under 7,500,000
the Excise
4. Unredeemed Land-tax
Deficit

£50,000,000

1,200,000
9,800,000

£50,000,000
This deficit is to be levied, not by doubling, or rather more
than doubling, the present income-tax, but by the less in-
quisitorial and more direct and equitable plan of an annual
assessment in the pound upon the annual value of all realised
property. And surely 11,000,0001., includingithe unredeemed
laud-tax, out of 50,000,000/. of total taxation, forms but a
small proportion of the total sum to be levied directly.
The reason that we include only eight articles in the Cue-
toms duties, is on the sound principle that if an article is to
be taxed when consumed, it should be so taxed without any
difference being made as to the place where produced ; the
consumer always paying the full market price of the article
he consumes, including every tax upon it.
There is no manufactured article which yields a revenue of
any consequence except silks • which, being an article of
luxury, though not included above, we have less objection to
its being taxed than any other. The duty might be modi-
fied so as to produce 250,000/. a year. Gloves yield 28,000/. ;
woollen manufactures about 17,000/.
If Parliament, however, should determine not to abolish
the window and other assessed taxes, except the unredeemed
land-tax, then our pro forma view of financial revenue would
stand as follows :
I £21,500,000
I. Customs
11. Malt and home- distilled .£31,500,000
spirits 10,000.000
111. Stamps, excluding Marine and Fire In-
surances
IV, Assessed Taxes
V. Deficit to be levied on all realised pro-
perty

THE TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERSTofrintihtye
Romani
THROUGH THE POST-OFFICE.
Lord CAMPBELL was glad to see the Noble Lord the
Postmaster-General in his place, and he would therefore move
at once for the return of which he had given notice yester-
day. The subject was one on which there was great anxiety,
and on which there had been many complaints. Indeed he
had understood that the Prime Minister himself had com-
plained that his newspapers had not been regularly trans-
mitted to him. He knew that the transmission of news-
papers through the Post-office must occasion a great
deal of inconvenience to the Postmaster-General,
and that the Post-office derived no direct advantage from that
transmission ; hut still it must be recollected thet newspapers

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without Aame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom•
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.
