THE INCOME-TAX.—We have now before us the,
letter of a Correspondent who appeared to aPPea'
against a surcharge of 1001. which, honestly and to
the best of his belief, he declares to have been nil"
justly added to his return of his income. In proof of
his assertion he offered to produce the pocket-book in
which alone be kept his memorandums, but the Cour
missioners replied—" They had nothing to do with,
that," for they had " information and other means °`
computing." The Government must have put the
spy system very efficiently into force if the Commis'
stoners are enabled to boast of information as to $
man's affairs better than that which he is himself able
to give ; and .we should be glad to know what
are the " other means of computing," which are t°
be preferred to an individual's-own memorandums of
the amount of his own income. It is bad enough to
drive a person to the production of his private ac-
counts before a parcel of Commissioners ; but there .
s
something mysteriously annoying in the assertioo,_
that other means of computing' are in the hands ,
the Government. The inquisition must be complete
indeed, if a man's circumstances are ascertainable by
something beyond even his own private accounts, an.
a
we can have no hesitation in say involvingthe the betrayal
of confidence, with its usual accompaniment, of false-
hood and villainy.—Evening Paper.

EAST INDIA HOUSE, DEC. 14, 1842. • •
THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST
INDIAJL COMPANY do hereby give notice,

That a Proprietor of East India Stock has further postponed,
until the QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the said
GONIPANY, appointed to be held at their House in Leaden-
hall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 21st instant, the motion of
which he had previously given notice, viz.:—
" That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors an Es-
timate of the Expense incurred by the War in Affghanistan, to
he 31st December, 1841."
"6 That there be laid before the Court of Proprietors a
Statement of the Amount of any Loan or Loans raised in India,
with the rates of Interest at which such Loan or Loans may
havebeen raised since the commencement of the Affghan War."
" That the protest of Mr. Tucker, or of any other individual
Director, or Directors, against the Affg,han War, be laid before
the Court of Proprietors."
The said Court of Directors do also give notice—
That another Proprietor has postponed until the said Quar-
terly General Court his proposed motion—
" To call the attention of the Court to the Papers which
have recently been printed, and laid before the Proprietors, in
relation to the Commission of Inquiry, held at Sattara on the
Raja of Sattara, in October, 1836, and the conduct of the
Commissioners who sat on that Inquiry."
The said Court of Directors do further give notice—
That the same Proprietor has stated his intention to submit
the following motion at the said Quarterly General Court,
viz. :

" That it is not competent to any Proprietor, after a motion
has been read, to move an adjournment of the Court before
such motion has been moved and seconded. That such a prac-
tice is objectionable on principle and contrary to all usage, and,
if permitted, would be subversive of the independence and
utility of the Court as acomponent part of the Indian Govern-
ment."

The said Court of Directors do likewise give notice—
That another Proprietor has notified his intention to submit
the following motion at the said Quarterly General Court,
viz.:—
" That, in the opinion of this Court, the substitution to a
greater extent of the Agency of Natives of India for that of
Europeans, in the Civil Administration of their own Country,
is a measure which is equally called for by considerations of
justice, economy, and sound policy. That it is desirable to
give full effect to sec. 87, cap. 85, of 3d and 4th William 4th,
which enacts, ' That no native of the said territories, nor any
natural born subject of his Majesty, resident therein, shall, by
reason only of his religion, place of birth, descent, colour, or any
of them, be disabled from holding any place, office, or employ-
ment, under the said Company.' And that the Directors be
recommended, in furtherance of this object, to instruct the Go-
vernments of India to appoint Natives to all Offices in the Civil
Administration under the different Presidencies for which they
may be dull qualified."
JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.
