tion. And if the Premier should in this matter dis-
appoint the nation's hopes and wishes, he may rest
assured that when that high office may again become
vacant, the community will never more ask for re-
Peel !

" The news from China and India is already highly
gratifying, and coming at the present juncture, when
trade in every quarter is drooping and depressed, it is
well calculated to inspirit the British people, and to
induce them to anticipate brighter and better days ;
but if the repeal of the Income-tax result from this
arrangement, the gratification of the country will be
greatly enhanced."
The Caledonian Mercury speaks thus :—" When
Sir Robert Peel introduced the Income-tax, he esti-
mated the deficiency in the year ending sth April,
1843, at 2,569,0001. to which there fell to be added
a sum of 700,0001., or 800,0001., on account of the
Chinese war, over and above the 500,0001. already
assigned for that purpose; then there was the defi-
ciency on the last five years. ending sth April, 1842,
of 7,200,0001., making for the six years, ending sth
April, 1843, a deficiency of about 10,000,0001. The
total produce of the Income Tax was calculated at
3,771,0001., and the additional Irish duties at 410,0001.

"While the estimated deficiency in the current ex-
penditure was to be made good in the shape of addi-
tional taxation, of course the debt of the by-gone few
years was not to be redeemed all at once. Well, then,
in what shape is the country to receive the benefit of
the 5,000,0001. to be paid by China ? Had the
Chinese question been settled on the present terms
previous to March, 1842, when the Income-tax was
announced, Sir Robert Peel would never have ven-
tured on such a scheme. And because this unlooked-
for and prosperous contingency arises when that tax
is adjusted and in the course of being imposed—and
simultaneous with the announcement of the final vic-
tories in India, which contest was another ground for
the imposition of that grievous tax—is the country
still to be kept under so odious and galling a yoke ?
There must be a mitigation more or less when Par-
liament meets, or Sir R. Peel will be hurled from
power."
At a meeting of the Glasgow Town Council, on
Thursday last, Mr. Bell gave notice of the following
motion :—" That this Council, in consequence of the
happy adjustment of our differences with China, and
the prospect of the speedy termination of the war in
Affghanistan, memorialise her Majesty's Government,
praying that Government may submit to Parliament,
as early as possible, a measure to repeal the Income
and Property-tax."—Glasgow Chronicle.

Lord Stanley left town last evening. The Judi-
cial Committee of the Privy Council sat this morning
to adjudicate on an appeal respecting a vessel, the
Guiana—the cargo and ship itself having been con-
demned for being concerned in the slave trade.
METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—There is reason
to believe that it is proposed by the Government to
appoint a Commission, the services on which will be
gratuitously rendered, for the purpose of consider-
ing, on comprehensive principles, the various plans
which have been suggested for the improvement of
the metropolis. The Commission will not, ofcourse, have
authority to undertake plans of improvement, or to enter
into engagements with respect to them—but they will
be enabled to investigate the merits of the various
proposals that have been under consideration—to es-
timate the charge of effecting each improvement—
to compare that charge with the probable revenue to
be derived from it—and to consider the bearing of
each detached scheme, not only upon the immediate
vicinity, but upon the general convenience and health
of the metropolis, and the means offacilitating commu-
nication between the various parts of it. A letter
has been addressed by Sir Robert Peel to each of the
following noblemen and gentlemen, and each has con-
sented to be a member of the Commission of Metro-
politan Improvement :—The Lord Mayor, the Earl of
Lincoln, Alexander Milne, Esq., Hon. Charles A.
Gore, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Colborne, the Right
Hon. J. C. Herries, Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., M.P.,
Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., Sir Robert Smirke,
Henry T. Hope, Esq., H. Gaily Knight, Esq., M.P.,
and Charles Barry, Esq.
THE INCOME-TAX.—The labours of the Commis-
sioners are rapidly drawing to a conclusion, in as far
as the eastern district, of the city of London is con-
cerned. They met on Saturday, at ten o'clock (the
Commissioners present being Aldermen Wilson, Gibbs,
and Musgrave, Mr. Deputy Blackett, Messrs. Pea-
cock, R. L. Jones, Sampson, and Melville), but they
adjourned at eleven o'clock, having no business before
( them. The sitting was resumed at a later hour, but
all the business was finished before two o'clock. Yes-
terday there were 132 numbers taken out, the greater
portion of which were satisfactorily disposed of. In
one case only—and that a very bad one—was the ap-
pellant sent back to amend his return. We understand
that the Commissioners, finding that their leniency
has been abused, are now leaning to a more strict in-
terpretation of the Act ; but this only in cases when
the attempt at evasion is palpable. The Commission-
ers attending yesterday were the same as on Saturday,
with the addition of Alderman Musgrave and Messrs.
Carter, King, and Mr. Deputy Allen.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 28.

The Court having disposed of the special paper
proceeded to hear cases on the new trial paper.

HALL V. FEARNLEY.

This was an action brought to recover damages
for the injuries alleged to have been sustained by the
plaintiff in consequence of the cart of the defendant
haying been driven over the plaintiff's leg and broken
it. The defendant had pleaded not guilty, and at the
trial it had been attempted to be proved that the
plaintiff had accidently slipped off the curb-stone
and fallen underneath the wheel of the cart, which
was passing at the time. Mr. Justice Wightman,
who tried the cause, told the Jury that if they were
of opinion that the injury the plaintiff had sustained
was the result of unavoidable accident, they must
find for the defendant. The Jury being of that
opinion, returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr.
Crowder subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new
trial, on the ground of misdirection, alleging that as
the defendant had not put a plea of justification on
the record, it was not competent for him to raise the
question of accident at the trial.
Mr. KNOWLES, to-day, showed cause against the
rule.

The COURT ordered the rule fora new trial to be
made absolute.

VERTET V. RUSSELL.

This was an action brought by a physician to re-
cover a sum of money
.alleged to be due from the
defendant, a lady, for plaintiff's medical attendance
on her brother. At the trial it had been admitted
that a physician could not recover his fees by ac-
tion, but it was alleged, that in the present instance,
there had been a special contract, in proof of which
several letters were put in in evidence. the Jury re-
turned a verdict for defendant. The Attorney-Gene-
ral subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a new trial,
on the ground that the verdict was against evidence.
The COURT, having heard Mr. Thesiger, Mr. War-
ren, and Mr. Bovill against the rule ; and the At
torney• General and Mr. Peacock in support of it, or-
dered the rule to be discharged.
In the cases of Hayes v. Gufield, the Queen v.
Binney, and Johnson v. Wood, rules nisi for new
trials were granted ; and in Johnson v. Wood, and
Drake v. Harmer, no rules were granted.

BAIL COURT, Nov. 28.
GREENSILL V. JCNES.

The plaintiffs in this action are lamp manu-
facturers, and the defendant is a gas-fitter. It ap-
peared that the defendant had a contract for the ar-
rangement of the gas apparatus of Drury-lane theatre,
under the London Gas Company, but not being reacy
upon the opening; of the theatre after last Christmas,
he came to the plaintiffs and asked them to send some
lamps for the saloon of Drury-lane, to which Mr.
Greensil replied that he did not like to have anything
to do with theatres. Upon an observation, however,
made by Mr. Jones, the lamps were sent and put up,
and for the hire of them the present action was
brought. The damages were laid at 1221. 4s. 6d.
Witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff,
who proved that the defendant ordered the lamps, and
upon the plaintiff saying he did not wish to have any-
thing to do with theatres, the defendant said he would
pay for them himself; or in case that the managers of
the theatre did not pay for them that he (the defend-
ant) would then do so.
It was denied on the part of the defendant that
Mr. Jones said he would pay for the hire of the lamps,
and that Mr. Macready or the London Gas Company
ought to have been sued.

The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS', Nov. 28.
DITCHAIAN V. MONTEFIORE, KNT., AID OTHERS.
This was an action against the Sheriffs of Middle-
sax for refusing to levy against the goods of one
James Pett.

Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. White were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Bompas for the Sheriffs.
In the year 1834, James Pett, a builder at llamp-
stead, wit,hing to compound with his 'creditors, bor-
rowed the sum of 4001. from the plaintiff in this action,
a gentleman of fortune, for that purpose. Subse-
quently to this, the plaintiff being unable to obtain his
money, brought an action against Pett for the recovery
of the amount, and obtained a verdict. Judgment
was entered; but, in the meantime, a fiat in bank-
ruptcy had been issued against Pett, and, therefore,
the Sheriffs declined to levy his goods, on the ground
that they were the property of his assignees. The
plaintiff had, therefore, commenced an action against
the Sheriffs in 1837, which had remained over till the
present time, and now came on for trial. The ground
upon which the action was brought was, that there
was no good petitioning creditor's debt. It was alleged
on the part of the plaintiff that the petitioning credi-
tor against Pett had issued the fiat merely for the
purpose of getting rid of the plaintiff's claim. Evi-

Bence was attempted to be shown that the petitioning
creditor, Mr. Walton, a timber-merchant, had ad-
vised the other creditors to take a composition of
6s. 9d. in the poundin the year 1834, and that the
claim under the bankruptcy was part of that corn-
pounding. This evidence was, however, considered
not legal, and it was, therefore, not admitted.
Mr. James Pett was called, and a long argument
took place as to whether he could be admitted as a
witness against his own bankruptcy. Mr. Justice
Cresswell held that he could. He was about to be
sworn, when he addressed his Lordship, and said he
wished to know how he was to be paid for his
attendance.

Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he supposed he would
be paid in the usual way, and whatever was proper.
The attorney said he would see him paid.
Mr. Pett said he had attended last term seven days,
and then he could not get a farthing from the
solicitor, and he did not know why he should trust
him again. He should decline being sworn until he
had been paid.

Mr. Justice CRESSWELL consulted with the officer
of the Court, and ordered the witness to be paid 30s.
for his two days' attendance. He was then sworn.
His evidence merely went to show that his debt to
the petitioning creditor was more than 1001.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he thought there was
no case for the Jury. The case was one of great
difficulty. The allegations on the part of the plaintiff
were extremely difficult of proof, and out of which
many complicated points of law would arise. As the
matter at present stood no case had been made out
by the plaintiff, and his (allegations were entirely
without proof. A verdict must therefore be taken
for the defendants.

The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants.

CORONER'S INQUES r.

Yesterday afternoon a very lengthened iuvestiga-
tion into the circumstances attending the death of
Helen Derrik, alias Dewey, was entered into before
Mr. Higgs, at the Bull's Head, York-street, West-
minster.

From the evidence of three most respectable wit-
nesses, in York-street, it appeared that on Friday
afternoon, about half.past one o'clock, William
Dewey, the deceased, and another female were
observed coming up the above street, the deceased
being very tipsy, and the others, who were sober,
supporting her, on either side. When about half way
up the street deceased slipped down, in a sitting po-
sition, and Dewey kicked her severely in the thigh,
then stooping, he lifted her up and threw her down
again with great violence ,her head coming in contact
with the kerb-stone, and, bleeding freely, the
blow rendered her insensible, but again he lifted her
and threw her down in the same manner. A man
who ran out of a shop, near, and remonstrated with
him, was told "to go to h—, it was no business of
his." She was then carried across the road, to
Smith's-rents, and laid down for some short time
upon the street, although she,was still insensible, and
it was raining heavily at the time ; finally, she was
removed home, but remained insensible. and died next
morning. Alice Woods, the female who was in com-
pany with the party at the time of the violence sworn
to, said that deceased slipped down only once ; that
Dewey did not kick her, and that no unnecessary vio-
lence had been exercised while she was present. (She
was rigorously cross-examined by Mr. Higgs and the
Jury, anti varied greatly in her statements.)
John Wright, M.D., 3, Storey's-gate,Westminster,
said that he had made la post mortem examination of
the body, and found an external bruise upon the left
side of the head ; upon turning back the scalp found
a quantity of extravasated blood beneath, and on re-
moving the skull found a clot of blood weighing more
than two ounces, and covering a surface of eight or
nine inches, pressing down the brain in such a
manner that death was unavoidable. Had no hesi-
tation in saying that the wound in the head was the
result of violence, either by a blow or a fall upon
some hard substance.

The Jury, after a long debate as to whether the
verdict should be wilful murder or manslaughter,
decided upon returning the latter, and Dewey, whb
is now remanded from Queen-square police-court,
will to-morrow be committed to take his trial.

The prisoner had been a soldier, but was discharged
as out-pensioner from Chelsea Hospital, and the de-
ceased, who had been married to a man in the same
regiment, had lived with him for about ten years
or more.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.YESTERDAY.

Although the betting on the Derby extended over
more than the usual number of horses, and was brisk on
some of the outsiders ; it failed to produce any very
striking alterations. The three favourites were steady
at last week's averages, and were backed for about 100 L
each, Winesour being most in demand. Aristides, who
is still in the land of the living (the accident having oc-
curred to a yearling colt, named Zanoni, belonging to
the Earl of Eglinton), had two or three friends at the
advance on the average, previous to the report that he
had broken his back. Sir Gilbert Heathcote's horses
were frequently mentioned, and one of them, Amorino,
backed freely ; an increase is observable in the odds
against the lot. The prices named against the l3rocard
colt (sold to a Mr. Gray), Chesterfield, St. Valentine,
Lhcette colt, Languish colt, Oxygen colt, Pastille colt,.
&c., were in almost every case taken several times, and
afterwards offered.

REPEAL OF THE INCOME-TAX.
At one of the stated meetings of the Merchant
Company of Edinburgh, held yesterday at their Hall
in Hunter-square,
Mr. ROBERT CADELL begged to submit a motion
for an early meeting of the Company to con-
sider of a petition to Parliament for the repeal
of the Income-tax, not three years hence, but
6n the close of the first year, on next sth of
April. Every one was aware of the glorious
news of the last few days; they had removed
every reason given by Sir Robert Peel for the imposi-
tion of this abominable tax. The fears from collision
with the United States were at an end ; the Chinese
war, one of the principal reasons for the impost, is
closed ; the Affghan war, one other reason for it, may
be said to have ceased ; but, above all, nearly five
millions of money is to be paid, which will meet
half the declared deficiency of the revenue, one main
cause of the tax ; a saving on the Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. will bring in one million more ; and there
is the grinding of the drain on our incomes for the,
di&rence. During the war, which many here must
recollect, the severity of ten per cent. was less felt be-
cause every man's hand was full—prices high—money
yielding a high interest—and we had, as a nation, the
monopoly of the trade of the world. The tax was not
felt by those Sir Robert Peel meant to feel it—he thought
to relieve those who had some one hundred and
fifty pounds a year, while, in fact, he had placed it on
the lower or working classes. The rich cut down
their establishments; the middle classes save it by
ecenomy ; every trader feels the effect, of all this ;
and the poor man-servant or maid-servant is turned
adrift—they are the real sufferers. Now is the
time to make a movement. The greatest politi-
cal blunder of our time was made by Lord John
Russell, in not protesting against this tax, as one
only to be levied in peace, on the day its was tabled
by Sir Robert Peel, Let that eminent nobleman go
forthwith to the Guildhall of London, and lead a cru-
sade against this tax, and he will be responded to from
one end of Great Britain to the other, and let him
give forth, that longer than the sth April, 1843, it
shall not last. _ .

The meeting received this proposal with one burst
of approbation, and appointed a meeting to be held in
their Hall, on Friday the 2d December, to take the
subject into consideration.—Scotsman. [This example
should be universally followed.]

A Honx.—A Mesmeriser has been enlightening
the citizens of Frederick, Md., during the past week;
but it takes a cunning fellow to trick the people of
that city. It seems that they agreed to give the boy
upon whom the Mesmeriser operated, fifty dollars, if
in the midst of the experiment he would get up and
declare the whole to be a humbug. Accordingly "at
the appointed signal the boy awoke, rubbed his eyes,
and pronounced it an imposture."—New York Journal.
Mrs. Fitzwilliam has relinquished her engagement
at the Haymarket Theatre, in consequence of the un-
favourable position in which she found her pieces

undue tyranny at another establishment.

GATION.
On Thursday, Mr. Lees delivered a lecture on
steam navigation, with a particular reference tothe
exposition of a principle proposed to be applied to
that purpose by Mr. Ruthven of this city, and for
which he has taken out a patent. The lecturer gave.
a succinct statement of the history and progress of
steam navigation, and remarked, that the great ob-
stacle to its extension was the imperfect nature of the
paddle wheels. It was to obviate this imperfection
that Mr. Ruthven had turned his attention,and his
plan was sufficiently simple. It was to apply
to the
propulsion of the vessel the principle which was known
as that adopted in "Barker's Mill." It consists of t
tube, horizontal or upright, into the extremity of
which another tube, crossing it at right angles, vias
fitted, and open at both ends. When water was in-
troduced into the first tube, it naturally made its
escape at the two ends of- the angular tube, but
its escape it caused this tube to revolve;
the
in
water, as it escaped, sending the tube forward
an opposite direction to that by which it escaped, ai.
this with a force proportioned to the pressure of t'.7.
water. The principle, in fact, is precisely the saw:
as that which causes the recoil in a gun when it
discharged. It had been attempted to be applied to
steam-navigation before, but had always failed—be
cause, in the lecturer's estimation, the water was
ways discharged below the surface, which impeded its
power of action. He illustrated this by experim,en.hts;
which certainly showed that the discharge 0' `l,
water, below the surface of other water, was not near:`?
so efficient as when it was discharged into the au__
The mode of its application' to the propulsion of vin
sels, was, as we understood, by making apertu `eaterl
the bows of the ship, through which the to
would flow into pipes, and thus would be conducted
re
the place where the steam-engine was situated. Theo,
the water would escape by a large pipe running
_,ac,,rres
the vessel and open at both ends, but with the ape.'":"l,
directed towards the stern, which, upon the pyincifbe
referred to, would have the effect of sending A,
vessel forward. If it was wished to back the 'Jess,
the apertures could be turned in the contrary dire:
tion ; and if to stop her, they had only to be tury.fle
directly down towards the bottom, while the eal2„d.
never ceased working. In this case, we understate
e
the use of the engine would be to discharr of
water out at the two apertures with a high degreeoro.
