THE 'Tar INCOME-TAX.—We are credibly in-
funned that our insatiable and dominant legislators, not
content with crippling the exertions of the industrial
middle classes by the infliction of the above abominably
impost, have appointed persons for the express purpose
of making the most rigid scrutiny into the returns of
those in trad.', and others, whose inenmes bring thew
under its noxious influence. What will the Tories do
next ?—Dcronport Indfpendent.
DuKr or tinoronn.--Lord John Russell
has been occupying his leisure, consequent on free-
dom from the cares of office, by preparing for publi-
caion the correspondence of John, fourth Duke of
'Bedford, from originals at Woburn Abbey. This is
Junius's Duke of Bedford; and it is, therefore, not
altogether improbglile that some curious new proofs
or confirmations may be given to conjectures 115 to the
authorship of Junius.—Sunday
