the above title, from the pen of the late Miss Landon, whose
deplorable death must be deep in the regretful memories of the
thousands who admired her genius and her worth. The last
prose production of this gifted writer, " Ethel Churchill," was
universally admitted to be one of the very fi st books of its
class, and was hailed with delight as the precursor of a series
of works which would place L. E. L. at the head of tht novelists
of her day. ller untimely fate yreVented the fulfilment of this
well 'founded expectation ; but in the
"re' of " Lady Annr
Uranard" we are naturally induced to look for still greater
manifestations of that luxuriant imagination, deep pathos, and
sparkling wit, which made " Ethel Churchill" one of the most

AFARMING FIRE.—DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON
FACTORY.—On Monday evening
the neighbourhood of Shore-
ditch presented an extraordinary degree of excitement, in
consequence of a most destructive-fire, breaking out on the
extensive cotton factory belonging to Mr. Yorke, situated in
the densely populated part of London, known at French-alley,
within a short distance of Shoreditch church. We are sorry to
say that not a vestige of either the building or its contents could
be saved. How the fire originated no one could tell. Zy
the calamity upwards of one hundred hands will be thrown out
of employment.
A clockmaker of Chalons, M. Rabiet, has taken out
a patent for a new clock which winds itself up in the act of
striking. The mechanism is said to be so simple that these new
clocks can be sold at a low price.

mercantile and working - classes will pay a double
quota, in spite of therriselves, in that way. Every
business transaction into which they enter is profit-
able to the Exchequer, however ruinous to themselves.
But, perhaps, no class. of tax-payers, included in Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S project, would deserve to be
more the objects Of a generous commiseration than
. those with incomes amounting to,or. little exceeding) 501.
a year, earned in the counting- house or at the writing-
desk. With no sustenance for sickness, no provision
for old age, but the pittance which they can contrive by
the most frugal and self-denying economy to save
out of their hard-earned income, those persons are
deprived of every hope of escaping the workhouse by
the operation of the income tax. Nor is this to
them the keenest suffering. Their habits of prudent
economy, and strict integrity in their dealings, enable
them, for the sake of their families, to. assume an ap-
pearance of wealth which they .do not possess, and
the first operation of an income tax is to expose their
honest poverty to the unmitigated scorn and contempt
of their richer neighbours. Let it not be said this
is an evil, where moral worth, even among rela-
tions by blood, is rated by wealth. We must not
forget that in England a respectable family means a
rich one ; and that the consolations of a good con-
science to the man whose family is ruined, are an offer
of Heaven which human Governments have no right
to presume to make. The laws of society are laws
for the direction of human legislation.
Among the communications addressed to us of a.
really important character, is one from a gentleman
of great experience in financial affairs, which takes
Cor its basis the principle laid down in The Sun of yes-
terday, that an income tax, if established at all, ought
only to affect the surpitiS income over and above
1491. 19s. 114 d. a year. We think the rate of tax
which he proposes too high to begin with ; but were
:he scale to graduate properly, we have litCe doubt
that a larger amount of taxes would be raised by his
clan than by the project of the Government. Our
L:orrespondent says,—
According to the proposed tax the circumstances of
he individual are imperfectly considered, and regard
s had merely to the absolute value of the income.
Eiut the true relative value of an income must ob-
iously be its possible capability of accumulation,
tnd it is only on this principle that incomes under
[5O/. per annum can be fairly exempted from the ope-
ration of the tax, it being presumed that persons pos-
;essing this income are not able to lay by any surplus
seyond what may be necessary to meet unforeseen
lomestic exigencies. It would be more equitable to
rate the tax on the amount of income, first deducting
1501. as a part free from taxation. Taking the rate
of five per cent. upon this plan, the taxes would be
as follow :

terms. He should first address himself to the motion in ar-
rest of judgment, because if that was successful the other
ould be unnecessary. There were a large humoer of
persons indicted and: the charges were of a very general
nature, and the natural result was, that in the obscurity
in which the facts of the case were involved, the Jury
found a verdict against the defendant Powell, without a
tittle of 'evidence of conspiracy against him. The four-
teenth want charged the defendant and others with con
spiring to procure the election. of Gibbs to the office of
Bridgemaster by improper and illegal means, but
did not set out any of these means, or any overt
act of the defendant. Now the object of the defendants
was not in itself criminal or unlawful—it was to secure
the election of an individual, and when that was the case
it was necessary to set out the means. - The case of the
King v. Peck and others, 9th Adolphus and Ellis, 666,
was decisive on that point. The Learned Counsel having
referred to that and two or three other oases, submitted
that the judgment must be arrested.
The COURT was of opinion that the objection must
prevail, and:meantime the prisoners wore remanded.

BROOKES V. M'LEOD,
The COURT gave judgment in t his case, which was an
action for goos sold and delivered. The defendant had
purchased several pieces of cloth at the plaintiff's ware-
house. Some of the pieces did not answer the description
purchased,and were refused on the ground that having been
sent in eight days after the order, they had come tett) late.
The whole question turned upon the nature of the bar-
gain between the parties, and that would be best under-
stood from the evidence at the trial. The Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff for the value of all the pieces, but
the Court thought that verdict could not stand. There
might be something in the nature of a compromise be-
tween the parties, but their opinion was that the rule for
a new trial must be made absolute.

We have now pointed out some of. the falso assm
tions and the erroneous data on which Colone I Torn ens
has built his arguments, which all fall with tli e founda-
tion into the general Limbo of vanity, and are %quite
worthy of further notice. It argues little, we di ink, for
the critical acumen of our Liberdl Contemporarit s, that
they have troubled themselves to discuss arguments which.
have nothing. to rest on.
Colonel Torrens, in truth, is one of a large class of
writers, who reason correctly enough from the prep rises
they assume, but who assume premises which have no•
foundation in actual existence. Ricardo, Mill, avd
others, belonged to this school; and all readen, before *3.-
lowing themselves to be entrained by their deductions,
should subject their principles to a rigid licru tin v. Con-
cede to Mr. Mill or Mr. Ricardo the accuracy of liis•.defini-
tions the propriety of his first principles, and you are.
puzzled to find a broken link in the long chain tast,.mecl
on to the worthless bolt. Of all books, perhaps, such
long trains of deduction from false assumptions make ti'ko
most worthless. They are neither warmed by imagina--
, tion, enlivened by fancy, • nor made instructive by me-
mory, and when the worthless bolt is drawn, they fall to•
pieces a shapeless mass of jumbled ruins.
Such writers, however, and their disciples, are as mis-
chlevous as they are erroneous. They all demand, it; the
spirit of their masters, some positive results, and Loa: ut
every ('eduction as incomplete, unless it end in some
enactment. Natural laws arc for them no laws at all, till
sthetys-ih n theiraver ketli.iv,ired the Royal assent. Their craft con-
isdge of the deductions of these teachers,
from false premises, Imd their application of thee. Hence
they invariably require other•writers to incorporate every
political truth into an Act of Parliathent, and they re-
gard all mere doctrine which dote not end in a law as of
no value. This is one source of the jlislike expressed by
some quasi Liberal writers to the confet-ences of ministers,
to such animated orators as Mr.G. Thompson, and to the
" thorough paced declamatory" writers and speakers
against the Corn-laws. When public soniiment is rec-
tified. and the public mind informed, without any refe-
rence to some new enactment, their craft is endangered,
and they become even bitterer enemies of tte Liberal
cause than the most bigoted Tories.

kJILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the areal-
Ration of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chem,cal process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedraetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng an acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board,

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others • the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of sits New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

Leeds, Dec. 28, 1842.

TIIE SMOKE NUISANCE.—On Monday next a new
era will commence in the town of Leeds. There will
be a fine atmosphere (so far as smoke is concerned)
floating over it, or a fine levied on all who obscure it
by outpourings from their tall chimneys. A special
clause in the Leeds Improvement Act provides summary
process in behalf of this most desirable change; and we
ought to have had an equally beneficial clause in the
Liverpool Act. And we now think it only fair to in-
form those amongst us who may persevere in the manu-
facture of coal-black clouds, that as soon as the bustle of
proceedings at Leeds (if such should occur) shall have
been got over, a. legal functionary will visit this town,
and prefer indictments against them fur the nuisance.
Of this we have received a strong personal declaration,
and we believe the intention will be resolutely acted
upon. Obstinate parties may, therefore, "look out
for squalls."—Liverpool Mercury/.
A Correspondent writes from Naples : "The house
of Rothschild, in concert' with that of Minucci, has
engaged, from the beginning of 1843, for the entire
monopoly of the tobacco of Naples, but not including
Sicily. Minucci had this contract before in partner-
ship with the banking house of Torlonia at Rome."
AN INFERENCE.—A schoolmistress was advocating
temperance, when a little boy inquired, " Did you
ever get drunk and fall into the river ?" "Why, no,
my child," she replied, with some astonishment, " how
came you to think of such a thing ?" "Because my
grandfather did, and that was what made him a cold
water man..

A letter has been received at Berlin from Warsaw,
according to which some violent Measures had been
put in force against the Jews of that city. The
reason for this rigour is supposed to be the part which
several took in the great bank frauds. No other in-
formation has been received.

A meeting of the Mcmbei s of the 'Metropolitan

The parish church at Ipswich has been cleared of
all its pews, by command of the Bishop of Norwich,
preparatory to its being fitted up with open benches:
on the principle that in "the House ofGod all are equal.
At Coventry, also, the Bishop of Worcester and the
Archdeacon of the former place have stated that the
parish church (Trinity) is equally the property of all
the parishioners. The poor man's Church, it is re-
marked, cannot afford to pay for drawing-rooms in
