POST. —Att ablurd rumour, to the effect that Sir Robert
Catalogue. Is. Pt-el had been Shot la', caused the funds to decline 4 per cent.
HENRY HOWARD, 11, A., Secretary. Although it never eas generally believed, and, after inquiries
promptly made, almost immediately contradicted, still the mar-
ket had not recovered from the effect at the close of business.
Collection of the income-tax at the present
moment being an all-absorbing subject, every information to be
gleaned respecting tire mode in which it is to be carried on is
of course of general interest. To-motrow the dividends are
payable to the public, arid hence the following no:ice has been
issued by tha Bank of England to those whose income is such
as to exclude them from the operation of the tax :
" Bank of England, July 6, 1842.
TO RECEIVERS PE DIVIDENDS WHOSE TOTAL INCOME IS
UNDER 150/.
" If your total income is less than 150/. per annum, your
claim for a return of the tax must be made to the Commissioners
of the district in which you reside.
" The assessor of your parish will supply you with the ne-
cessary forms."
As a gnat many questions have arisen as to whether a sove-
reign placed on the balance ought to turn it it is important to
know that the Bank of England to-day decided that all sove-
reigns presented at their counters which shall be on the balanee
shall be taken as leg .1 weight. The new silver coinage will be
issued to the public to-morrow, and it is understood that the
Bank vaults, both yesterday and the day before, received large
supplies from the Mint.
'1 he dealings in the English Stocks to-day were to a certain
extent unfavourable to the 'maintenance of that firmness which
hi.s within the last day or two been exhibited in this market,
and the cause oflite decline visible in the quoted prices at the
close of the business*fejlleged to be the re-action which gene-
rally follows a rise in values brought about more by speculation
than real and bonajide bargains. '1 here was also some little tight-
ness experieneeti in respect to money, but the borrowers, only
in a few instances, paid increased rates, the supply of tomor-
row being expected considerably to increase by the payment of
the dividends.
Our letters from Amsterdam contain some particulars rela-
tive to the capitalization-contract between the Dutch Govern-
:went and the ‘• Handelmaatschappy," which was lately ratified
by the Second Chamber of the States-General. By the ori-
ginal contract made is the reign of William 1., which is dated
July, 1840, it was provided that the Government should pay
yearly to the " Handelmaatschappy" the sum of 5,000,000
gunners, so that the 39,000,0.10 due by the Government, to-
gether with 5 per cent. interest, would be paid off in 1849.
When report had made some of the members of the Second
Chamber acquainted with this contract, which was very oner-
ous to the Treasury, they ir.sisted so much on the necessity of
changing its conditions, that the Government resolved to pre-
vail on the " Han.lelmaatschappy" to alter them. The conse-
quence was that a new contract was made in March 1841, ac-
cording to w Inch the interest after that year was to be only 44
per cent., while the reimbursements of the principal
would be so diminished, that in 1850 there would still remain
a sum of about 10 500,0(10 guilders. The object of the altera-
tion seeing to have been that the state should not be deprived
of 5,060,000 guilders of its income in the first years. It ap-
pears by the same letters that the holders of " United States
bank" bonds, issued by Messrs. Hope and Co., are displeased
that that firm exchrmged the Louisiana bonds, which were given
as a special pledge by the bank, for those of Pennsylvania.
Even at the time the exchange was made the Pennsylvania
were quoted in London at a less price than the Louisiana, and
they continue to be of less value now.
As many persons may be uneasy at not receiving answers to
their letters sent to India via Falmouth on the 31st of March,
it may be a relief for them to know, that by a Post-office notice

SUN.—The shock the market sustained at the commencement
of business was not recovered during the day, and Consols left off
nominally a quarter per cent. below the prices of yesterday,
although the sales were to the most limited extent. The present
account is most decidedly against the " bear " party, and as a
large amount of money must necessarily be thrown upon the
market in the course of a few days, and in all probability will be
employed only in the purchase of Stock, no opportunity will be

present time ; and however individuals may differ upon particu-
lar points, they all appear to agree that our own Funds, and
undertakings based upon tangible property within our own
control, are the only legitimate sources of employment ;
hence, in the absence of speculation either in produce or
the bonds of non-paying States, and the repudiation
of American Securities in this and continereal cities,
the national funds, or railroads, only offer themselves.
Under these circumstances the speculators for a fall, discovering
that they have been acting improperly, are endeavouring as
much as possible to lower prices, and retrieve their losses pre-
viously to the 15th inst.

hat guarantee have we that the' prosperity' of manufactures,
created by this transference of distress from one district to an-
other, would be of a different character, or productive of other
iltimate results, than was the prosperity' of 1838 ? Would
not the history of the past be repeated—would not the produc-
tion of cotton fabrics once more outstrip consumption, and
the means of subsisting the labour engaged in their pro-
duction—would not the 'home migration' process be renewed
—would nut new batches of cotton lords and new stacks of
cotton chimneys start up—would not goods be made faster than
corn can be grown—would not over-production be again the
order of the day—and the world's market be reglutted with our
goods ? That such would be the case we have the authority of
no less a person than Mr. Cobden himself."

The Commission for the County of Clare Assizes, was opened
at Ennis on Saturday, when Baron Richards delivered his
charge to the Grand Jury, relative to the provision riots, and
the homicides connected therewith, in which thirty-eight
policemen and two officers are implicated. The Jury have,
by the last news, entered on investigation of the case.
FINE ARTS.
The intended sale of the Cardinal Fesch's rich collection of
pictures shortly to take place at Rome, will, it is expected,
' attract thither a crowd of the most eminent amateurs from all
parts of Europe.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
The process of saturating wood with metallic solutions, such
as oxide of iron, has of late been found to render it perfectly
inflammable. Pieces of Canadian fir, thus impregnated, are
no.v placed on a fierce coke fire, and become only hot, and
scarcely charred.
A human skull has lately been found in a stone coffin near
the " standing stones at Lundin,"at Sunny Braes, in Scotlar.d.
The latter are believed to have been put up f, t. memorials of
Scottish or Danish nobles slain in the battle between Habba,
brother to the King of Denmark, and Constantine 11., in the
year 874. The skull is supposed to be one of these heroes.

On Saturday last a fire broke ont in one of the trucks of the
goods train on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, while
passing through Defford and Eckington. As the velocity in-
creased the fire spread to four other trucks, and property to the
amount of about 700/. was burnt. The trucks belonged to the
Grand Junction Company, and were laden with Manchester
goods. A spark fallihg from the chimney is supposed to have
caused the fire, which was extinguished by water at Eckington.

CHURCH-RATES.
UNSEEMLY CONDUCT OF THE ARCHDEACON
OF HALIFAX'.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
The past week has been signalised in Halifax by one of those
contents, no less disgraceful to the Church than injurious to
its interests—the attempt to enforce a Church-rate.
last year the Church party carried a rate of 'Ad. in the
pound without opposition. Encouraged by this success, they
have this year waxed bold enough to attempt to levy a rate, out
of which various adornments of the Church were intended to
be defrayed—such as covering the oak-painted doors with critn,
son cloth, &c. The rate was refused by a large majority at
the meeting of rate-payers, when a poll was demanded
_by :LieChurch party, which has been kept open three da
Arch-
deacon himself being present in the poll-r -in nearly all the
time—a fact of which the intending voters were made duly
aware, yet this strange e crA xere of the influence of the Vicar was
not enough. He even interfered hy asking the anti-rate voters
various questions, and in sumo cases threatened them with a
citation into the EcOesiastinal Court, which threat he has
since publicly declared it his intention to carry into effect. The
result of the poll declared on Alunday gives a majority of 1,020
against the rate, surely the " greatest enemies of the Church
are those of her own house."

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE
RIVE I3ENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kinglont, but throughout the civilised
world, that any encomium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of h If
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Alanufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, anti the ecnsequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
whieh Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's." by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
of
Ef_evv:rry,
genuine
later is• prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legiti t ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
.Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratif)ing is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the litabit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured nith an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's
I.emonade is an elegant preparation of mere reeetit intro,..
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive ieputation• It is an effervescing
&e., nor is it less draught of most agreeable flavour, arid made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and re&lical men

7.11: PERFECT SUBSTI'I UTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albat.a Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. it is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from whief it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. • Fiddle Threaded King's
