PREVALENCE OF DISTRESS.— INABILITY
TO PAY THE RATES.—On the 25th of November last, 31
order was made by the Board of Guardians of the Cher'i
ton Union on the overseers of Gorton, Flixton, an
Urmston, for the contributions of their respective 0°,11;
ships towards the Poor-rate. Not being able to re's- '
what was necessary to meet the demand, they were suui;
moned to the Petit Sessions; and on Thursday the matte'
came on before P. M. James and Shakspeare
Esqrs. The Gorton overseers having been called on, i':"
Latham, clerk to the Chorhon Union, stated that there
was an order made on them, on the 25th of November;
for 3231. They. had since paid 501., and a balance el-
-273/. still remained due. " Mr. Buckley, the assistat4
overseer of the township of Gorton, stated that the
rates rates altogether amounted to 6401., 1081. of which
been paid. There was a great deal of empty propertYlir
the township, which was included in the rate. A te',
rated to produce 881. 6s. 1 id. and cottage property„
';';
produce 5.51. were empty. Besides these, there were,
great many of the people so poor that it was impossP!it
to collect the rates from them. Mr. James—That is
very well, when addressed to the Board of Guardians':
but the Magistrates cannot take that into considcra.-
Lion ; the .1 ustices have no power to prevent o'7
issue of a warrant or distress, if the money is
not raised.—Mr. Buckley said, the overseers
done everything in their power to collect the rate;
butrzthey, _.could not get it. lie also complained, till 61„
the rates had been unnecessarily augmented. me,",
1826, the county rate only amounted to 96/. for
whole year ; while, in the last quarter, it considerably
exceeded 100/. This was owing to the great exPell
incurred by the constabulary force. They were of esiti
use whatever to the neighbourhood, though they cost`'
the township 48/. 19s. 6d. for the last quarter. A warms
rant of distress was then ordered to be issued. The over'
~
seers of Flixton were next called on, but did not aPPelt,"
The service of the summonses was proved ; and it v—'
stated, that the sum due by them was 83/. A warrant.
of distress was granted. The overseers of Urmst°t*
having been called, Mr..Latham stated that they be
made arrangements with the Board of Guardians for the''.'
payment of the rate. Mr. Latham then applied for, 1,07,'
obtained, a summons for the overseers of Didsbury,
show cause why they have not paid their contribution WI
the Poor-rate.—Manchester Guardian.
We have received from Venice," says that!
Moniteur Earisien, "the following details of the
roads which are about to spread life and spirw,
through that country. The first proposed line was ta
pass by . Triviglio, but the more recent design Ray
to take the direction of Bergamo. The Govern
ment has decided in favour of the former to the disc;
.
tisfaction of the richest and most influential bankers. •`_
is thought th:.t their discontent will lead them to refuse
their aid to the Austrian Government in the executio',
of the great road it has undertaken, and which is to trtt:
verse the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The works on O;
part of the railroad which is to run between Venice all
Padua, and for the construction of the bridge across the
Lagune, are in progress. It is hoped that, by the sprili:.;.
the road between Padua and Mestre will be open
and one-half of the bridge finished. Here there
will be a landing-place and communication
Venice by means of a steam-boat. A French
Company ibas
.undertaken to light Venice with Wls... ,
The gasometer is building, and it is expected that, '4';
June, St. Mark's-square and other places will
lighted from it."
e
DUNDEE TRADE.—We have no change in the
„
state of our markets to report. Flax flax tows,
cedilla continue firm, and not much doing ; and as "4,
supplies may now be considered ended for the season,
is not likely that prices will be lower here before ,l
arrival of the fresh supplies in spring. Linens and Yarn-r.
move off steadily at former rates, and there are at prese°-
no stocks of either.—Dundee Paper.
of DISTANT COUSINS.—The present King -r
Prussia and Queen Victoria are great-grand-children (),-
the same maternal parent, inasmuch as the mother
the late Queen Charlotte (the consort of George Jai
was the grandmother of the late Queen of Prussia Or
mother of the present King), and consequentl gr,111:
grandmother both to Queen Victoria and Fyrederic7
William IV. Queen Charlotte was of course the On'
of the late Queen of Prussia, and great-aunt to the pre"
sent Sovereign. 4
DISCOVERY OF A BODY.—On Saturday morn"
ing police constable 136 D, who had been for some time:
previously assisted by others in the using of drags, drew
out of the Junction Canal the body of a young;
named Smith, footman to Mr. Budd, 15 Norfolk-cres'
cent, Edgware-road, The deceased was missed on Thurs.' •
day night last, and it is supposed that as he was proceed'
ing along the towing-path, to Kensall-green, whew
his wife and family resided, he. accidentally slipped into
the water.

PROPERTY TAX.—We have jest learned tW
the Chancellor of the Exchequer is busily engaged iii
prosecuting a series of inquiries, which tend to show
that Ministers have it seriously in contemplation to ow-
pose a property tax for the purpose of improving the
revenue. We believe 5 per cent. is the sum now under
consideration.--Carlisle Journal.
