Sir George Arthur is to be the Governor of Bombay,
in succession to the late Sir Wm. H. M`Naghten.
THE TORY INCOME TAx.—A Morning Contemporary
justifies this impost on the score of its being at variance
with common sense ; and adds " for ourseives, we never
thought that any taxation was likely to become agreeable
from its conformity with the common-sense conclusions
of mankind." According to this reasoning, a tax, to
" become agreeable," must have nonsense for its basis ;
and viewed in this light, the income tax certainly bids
fair to become a very " agreeable" and popidar
, impo- t, for never was there one that so boldly
, set at defiance everything in the shape of jus-
tice and sagacity. Our Contemporary's contempt for
common sense is perfectly natural, seeing that his own
diurnal lucubrations are notoriously devoid of this quality.
In another passage of the same article, he intreats the
people to dismiss their foolish prejudices against the in-
come tax, because the. tax-gatherer, " instead of sweeping
away half a man's income, only asks sevenpence in the
pound !"—Only asks sevenpence ! Modest creature !
Who can be base enough to resist so moderate a demand ?
BALM IN GILEAD, OR COMFORT FOR THE BISHOP OF
EXETER.—It must be very comforting to the Bishop of
Exeter—who, it may be remembered, nearly broke his
pious heart for the loss of the rich living of Stanhope—
to know that he is no longer in possession of that fat,
snug rectory, for he thereby avoids the heavy income
tax that he would otherwise have had to pay on it !
TORY EARS.—In alluding to the income tax last night
in the House of Commons, Mr. Curteis requested that
" gentlemen in the agricultural interest would lend him
their ears for a few minutes."—We are surprised at
the Hon. Member's anxiety to borrow Tory ears. Surely,
he must be well aware of. their inordinate and embar-
rassing length !
SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SAUCE.—In an advertisement,
so headed, in the Morning Chronicle, a Mr. Carstairs of
Edinburgh states that he is the inventor and proprietor
of " the above much-admired sauce which has on the
reverse of the label, a fac-simile of the Right Hon.
Baronet's letter of approval." We take for granted that
Mr. Carstairs has invented this sauce, for the patriotic"
purpose of enabling the country to digest Sir Robert
Peel's income tax !
Her Majesty's Royal Maundy was distributed at two
o'clock this afternoon, in Whitehall Chapel, to the aged
poor recipients of the Royal bounty.

Mr. White, one of her Majesty's messengers, was
seized this morning with a fit while walking in King-
street, St. James, which deprived him of consciousness,
and he fell on his face. He was quicldy recognized,
and was taken by the police to St. James's Palace. Me-
dical aassistanco was procured, and the sufferer was bled.
