A TAX ON LOSSES.

We cannot tell how it may be in future years,
(though prospects at present are gloomy enough), but
of the payments made on the transactions of 1841,
much more will be "hush-money" to the tax-gatherer
than profits of trade made by the merchant or
tradesman.

The merchants or shipowners of the port of Liver-
pool will, no doubt, be expected to pay a large
sum towards the income tax out of the profits of last
year. Many of them probably will pay pretty
handsomely rather than submit to have their affairs
looked into; but it will be out of their capital rea-
lized in former years, not out of the profits of the
last. The losses on cotton in Liverpool during the
last year are understood to have amounted to a mil-
lion sterling ; on timber there has been a deprecia-
tion of between forty and fifty per cent. on the
heaviest stocks ever held ; on iron the 'fall has been
ruinous ; Brazilian and other free sugars and cof-
fees have been a mere drug on the market ; sheep's
wool and dye wares have fallen greatly ; colonial
shipping has been unsaleable at any price, and British
shipping has lost, at least for the present, one-third of
its value ; yet all these articles will be expected to
contribute their quota to the income tax, and any
one concerned in them who returns his income
at nothing (as thousands may with truth),
or who returns less than the commissioners expect,
will not only be liable to be examined on oath, but
will be actually examined and compelled to disclose
all the details of his business. Precisely the same
state of things exist amongst the manufacturers
of Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Leeds, Notting-
ham, and Leicester, i and amongst the importers
of produce in London and the other out-ports o!'
the kingdom, as well as Liverpool ; but all
this is nothing to the tax-gatherer and his master.
"An income he wants, and an income he'll have,"
and those whose pockets and consciences refuse to
contribute will have to buy exemption at the risk of
ruin. The shopkeeper will be treated precisely in
the same manner. He will have to pay or plead his
poverty, and he, like the merchant, will in a vast
number of cases find it better to make a false return
of profits and to pay the penalty than to allow the
*grid to know his real circumstances. The univer-
sal prosure of the times will thus add unspeakably to
the injustice And tyranny of a tax which can
never be otherwise, than unjust and tyrannical.—

A Bill has passed the House of Delegates of Mary-
land Legislature, which provides that any free negro or
mulatto, who shall come into the State after the passage
of the Act, may be arrested by any person, and shall
be adjudged to be his slave. And any free negro, who
shall leave the State and return to it, -shall be liable to
the same penalty; unless, in both cases, they are tra-
velling as servants of a white person. The fact that
they are in the State, to be prima fade evidence that
they have come into it contrary to law. The rest of the
Bill, which contains 35 sections, is in the same liberal
spirit. Every delegate from Baltimore voted against it.
It passed, however, and is now before the Senate.
On the 15th inst., says a letter from Madrid, one
of the 15 brigands who have infested the country near
Meutrida, was arrested at that place. He was found con-
cealed in a dry well, from which he discharged his
musket and killed the officer commanding the detach-
ment 0f troops which arrested him. Before he w 0,114
surrender it was found necessary to throw burning brim-
, stone into the well to driN a him out.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST Tab

YARMOUTIL—The proposition of Sir R° bent
to inflict upon the people of England art Income ion,
has been received here with mingled feeling' °f 51,01

such a scheme is pregnant to the intins.r.l,o,
and indignation at the inquisitorial systavi
must be the necessary accompaniment of °toraa

is likely to be summoned, to memorialize be11„704
