(corn.)
Stamps and Taxes, London, 20th April, 1843.
SIK,-1 have laid before the board your further letter of
the tith instant, with reference to the letter of Messrs. A,
and B.; and, in reply, I am directed to state that the Pro-
perty Tax Act, schedule D, imposes the duty of 7d. in the
pound " upon the annual profits or gains arising or accruing
to any person whatever, whether a subject of her majesty or
not, although not resident within Great Britain. from any
profession, trade, employment, or vocation exercised within
Great Britain." It appears, by the statement contained in
your former letter of the 25th ult., that Messrs. A. and B.
carry on business under that firm; that Mr. A. resides at
Manchester, and Mr. B. at Hamburg; and that their busi-
ness consists in buying goods at Manchester, and exporting
them to Hamburg, where they are sold.
This, then, is the business of merchants exercised in Great
Britain, and chargeable as such under the paragraph above
quoted from schedule D • and it is quite immaterial where
the partners composing the firm reside ; or whether the buy-
ing, or the selling only, or both, be transacted in this king-
dom. _ . .

A pretty song, very suitable for the drawing-room and
private party ; there is much feeling in the words and melody
in the music. We recommend this song also to notice.

THE NEW OPERA OF MARINETTE

(From a Correspondent.)

At a time like the present when music is so much sought
after, when its professors receive such distinguished en-
couragement, when in every house a piano-forte, at least, is'
to be found, we welcomed with more than common pleasure
the announcement that an opera was in the course of prepa-
ration at the Theatre Royal, the production of a talented
townsman, who for many years has maintained for himself
an estimable position in the opinions of men of musical taste.
It was to be expected, at least, that no inconsiderable curi-
osity would be exhibited to witness so novel an undertaking ;
but it has been matter of no small surprise that the public
has been quite apathetic on the subject. It is not with taste
that we have to deal, but with the merits of the work. The
drama we will first mention ; the plot is simple, and the
situations towards the latter part are effective ; but it is quite
evident that the author has thrown all his heart into the
songs, and neglected to give that strength to the dialogue
that he ought to hare done : this has arisen perhaps with a
feeling that by giving too great an interest to the plot the,
music would not stand out so prominently. The words of
the songs are really very charming compositions, and taken
altogether, the drama has many claims to praise, and it is not -
justice to test it by too stern a criticism. If it is only an
agreeable vehicle to introduce the music with appropriate
effect, the end of the dramatist is gained. Of the music we
can give the most unqualified commendation, and we fear-
lessly assert—and we are borne out in our opinion by many
musical amateurs with whom we have conversed—that its
merits are of no common order, that it exhibits a fertile and
graceful imagination, as well as the skill of a master. The 2
opening chorus is a spirited composition, and has a capital
effect : in mentioning this chorus we may also draw atten-
tion to the opening trio and chorus in the third act, which
may be admired for its vivacity and playfulness, but which
did not go off with full effect in consequence of the tenor
olos not suiting the voices of the singers to whom it was
entrusted. Miss Gardner's song of "There's a Charm in
the Woods" is an agreeable and flowing melody. The duet
of " Good Night" is treated in a manner which evidently
;ave much pleasure to the audience. One of the gems of the
opera is a song sung extremely well by Mr. Shriven, in praise
of " Woman ." there is also another " sparkling brilliant"—
" My Home is a Sweet Little Cot," sung also by Mr. Shri-
vall ; either of these may rank with any of the best ballads
of the day. Of a higher order of composition is the song
'' Love bath Crept," allotted to the Count. " The Welcome
Chorus" is a sweet little bit of composition the dance is
however made ineffective by a worn-out quadrille figure being
arranged to it. The concerted pieces are very effective, and
to the ear of the musician impart the fact that the composer
takes a rank far above that of a mere ballad-writer. Mr. Shri-
ven and Miss Gardner have raised themselves greatly in pub-
ic estimation. Mr. Shrivall gave all his songs with a taste
and feeling we have seldom heard him exhibit, and Mist
Gardner not only looked and dressed her part well, but pre-
Ilsented strong evidence of a wish and an ability to make a
pleasing impression upon her auditors. In the finale she .
quite surprised us. Mr. Hammond, as Paul Novel, was
rather too florid, but he cansed much amusement. The
opera was well got up, and is highly creditable to all parties,
and will sonic day be properly appreciated by the public at
large, and the subject cannot be dismissed without bestowing
our thanks to those who have endeavoured to add to the stock
of public amusement. We perceive the composer and author
take their benefit on Friday next.
The following is one of the songs from the se
opera :

It appears that Mr. A. contends that "all the profit ac-
crues from the sale of the goods, and that none can be said to
be made here ;" but I am to observe, that the profit accrues
from the purchase of the goods in this country at a cheaper
rate than they can be bought elsewhere ; that the business
carried on here is the source from which the profit arises;
and that, as to the place where it is realized, that is perfectly
immaterial.

' With regard to cases in which some or all of the partners
are foreigners, it is only necessary to advert to the terms in
which the duty is imposed by the act—namely, "upon the
profits or gains arising or accruing to any person whatever,
whether a subject of her majesty or not, although not resi-
dent in Grrat Britain," from any trade, &c. exercised in
this part of the United Kingdom.
. .

The board are of opinion, that, under this enactment, it
:annot admit of a doubt, that, in the case of Messrs. A. and
3., as well as in all similar cases, whether any of the part-
lers of the firm be foreigners or British subjects, and whe-
her resident in this kingdom or abroad, the firm must be
Lssessed for the whole of the profits of the business, and par
he duty thereon accordingly.—l am, sir, your obedient ger-
'ant, CHAS. PRIMLY.

BILLS OF MORTALITY.—The general bill of mortality, in
the parish of Liverpool and its vicinity, for the year 1842,
was delivered to the commissioners at the annual vestry, on
Tuesday last. From it we learn that the number of bap-
tisms, during the year, was—males, 5337 ; femals, 5090;
otal, 10,427. Tlie number of burials was—males, 2789;
females, 2539 ; total, 5328. The total number of marriagesl
was 3018: of these, 722 took place at St. Peter's Church,
and 731 at St. Nicholas's. Of the baptisms, 5648 took place
it St. Peter's Church, whist 269 only took place at St. Ni-
cholas's. Of the Marriages, 2585 were solemnized at
Churches of England, whilst at Dissenting and Roman Ca-
tholic and the Superintendent Registrar's Office,
mly 433 were solemnized. During the month of November,
he number of males and females born was exactly equal,
namely 397. The increase in the baptisms over the preceed-
ing year was 204 ; the decrease in burials 30 ' • and the de-
crease in marriages (occasioned, no doubt, by the distressed
state of the country) was 365. The number of deaths under
2 years was 2095; between 2 and 5, 682; 5 and 10. 206; 10

vicinity of Liverpool, including Toxteth-Park, Everton,

Males, 550; females, 493; total, 1043. The number of
burials was—males, 1529 ; females, 1533 ; total, 3122. Mar-
riages, 593 ; of these, 25 were solemnized at St. Patrick's
Chapel. The population of Liverpool and its vicinity was,
in 1821, 118,972 ; in 1831, 205,981 ; in 1841, 295,962. The
total number of burials at St. James's Cemetery, was 1076;
at the Necropolis, 1714.

On Saturday Mr. Wilkins, barrister-at-law, appeared be-
fore the magistrates, at the police-court, as counsel for Signor
Hillier, manager of the Royal Amphitheatre, against whom
an information had been laid, under the new local act, at the
instance of the proprietors of the Theatre-Royal.
Mr. Garnett, clerk to Messrs. Foster, Lloyd, and Waln,
solicitors to the proprietors, stated that he appeared on be-
half of those proprietors to substantiate a complaint against
Signor Hilliar. Mr. Garnett set oat by alleging that the
proceeding emanated solely from the proprietors, and not
from the present lessee of the Theatre-Royal, which he
mentioned, because Signor Hilliar had put forth a notice to
the contrary effect. Mr. Garnett next proceeded to explain
that he had waited upon Signor Ht ar, who said that he would
withhold the entertainments objected to, if they were con-
sidered entertainments of the stage. lie wished some-person
to attend the Amphitheatre to see whether the entertainments
came within the law. The proprietors hereupon requested
:qr. Clarke to attend, as, from his experience, he was con-
sidered well qualified to form an opinion. He (Mr. Garnett)
understood that the objection was, that there were horses in
the drama in question, but he apprehended that the play was
the genus, and that it might be equestrian or musical, as the
case might be.

LORD HoNTINGTOWE theMUSEMS---Mr. Ford, who
has petitioned to annul fist against his lordship, in the
course of his examination before the Court of Review, said,
" I used frequently to visit his lordship at Keaton, and re-
member that, in the course of 1810, the numberof horses
there was increasing. from two to sixteen or eighteen, from
his lordship commencing to keep post horses. Lord Hunt-
keepere had told him that he did so in order to ruin the inn-
of Bromley, with whom he had quarrelled, and that
to effect that purpose he posted at the rate of 3d. a mile less
than the usual price, and gave postboys ss. for every pair,
;and 7s. for ev ht to him. Knew

Lord Huntingtower to have as many as thirteen donkeys
kept in clothing like race-horses for his own

the whole of the donkeys passed in front where their sessions
were held, with Lord Huntingtower's coachman dressed fan.

brought up the rear of the procession. The magistrates sent
for witness and informed him that such proceedings on the
part of his lordship was very offensive. and, if repeated, they
would commit him to gaol. The offence was not repeated.
Witness usually stayed at Penton three or four daps, a
full opportunity of observing his lordship's habits...ndthad
to drive a four in hand, frequently using different sets of
a larger number of horses. His lordship

Mr. Clarke, the former lessee of the Theatre-Royal,
stated that he was not in any way connected with that es-
tablishment now. He went to the Amphitheatre on Monday
last, and paid half-a-crown for admittance. He saw a piece
called The Horse of the Rialto. It was a play, consisting
of dialogue and action. The introduction of horses did not
divest it of that character, as horses bad been introduced
into regular dramas acted at the great theatres of London ;
into the Cataract of the Ganges, Timour the Tartar, and
other dramas.

Mr. Garnett himself proved that Signor Hilliar had ad-
mitted that he was manager of the Amphitheatre.
Mr. Wilkins cross-examined Mr. Garnett at some length.
In the course of this cross-examination,
Mr. Rushton explained that an application was made to
him to authorize the head constable to go in and take all the
parties into custody under the Local Act. He (Mr. Rush-
ton) replied, that the proper way would be to proceed against
the parties.

Mr. Garnett also explained, that he told Signnr:Hilliar
that the proprietors did not consider it fair that Mrs. Steb-
bing, who, it appeared, had let the theatre for equestrian
performances only ' should be made responsible for his acts.
He was aware that Mrs. Stebbing had got authority from the
late mayor, and that authority was produced at the time of
the application. He said by the 253 d section of the Improve-
ment Act, a penal"). of 1.:20 was imposed on any person using,
for the representation of stage plays, a tenement not duly li•
ceased.

The authority of the late mayor was put in and read. The
authority, granted Bth November, 1842, gave the privilege,
for one year, of acting certain pantomimes, ballets, &c., not
such pieces as would infringe on patent rights, or incur a
penalty under the acts of parliament. The document, Mr.
Garnett said' gave authority to act such pieces as did not in-
terfere with the 10th George 11., section 3d., which rendered
parties acting plays, without authority, liable to a penalty of
£3O. The mayor expressly excluded such pieces as would
render the parties liable under that section.
Mr. Wilkins, after some general remarks on what he
deemed the unwise course of the proprietors in taking these
proceedings, and comments on the effect which they would
have on public opinion, contended, that, as they had the
Mayor's authority to act ballets, and as dancing had been, in
the case of Rex v. Handy, recognised as an entertainment of
the stage, the words in the authority, which gave a still more
extensive permission, applied to all such entertainments as
were usually produced at theatres of this description, other-
wise the authority itself was a mere farce. The intention of
the police act was evidently to enable the authorities to put a
stop to penny theatres and other places of that description,
which had been the resort of thieves and the productio❑ of
much evil and demoralization.

the act of George 11., so as to give power to the crown to
grant a patent to Liverpool. As the law now stood, much
as he coincided in many of the statements which had fallen
from Mr. Wilkins, he was compelled to decide against the
defendant. He thought, however, the ends of justice would
be satisfied by a mere nominal penalty, and he sincerely hoped
some satisfactory arrangement would be shortly come to
amongst the parties. The 348th section of the act gave him
power to mitigate, and he thought every purpose would be
answered, if he imposed a penalty of 20s. and costs.
Mr. Clarke wished it to be understood, that he had bean
,appealed to merely as an arbitrator, and to give his opinion
lin court as to the character of the performance. Mr. Rush-
ton and 111 r. Wilkins spoke in very handsome terms of Mr.
Clarke's integrity and motives.
Mr. Wilkins said Signor frilliar was very desirous of
knowing what he would be permitted to present to the pub-
lic. _

This led to a conversation of great length, Mr. Garnett
saying that many theatres had recently been open, and that
the proprietors were desirous of protecting their property.
Mr. Wilkins made some remarks on the many different
opinions which had been given, even before a Committee of
the House of Commons, as to what constituted the regular
drama, and called upon Mr. Clarke to favour them with a
definition of the term.

Mr. Clarke said be would refer Mr. Wilkins to Dr.
Johnson, who said, " Play : a drama, tragedy, a comedy, or
anything in which characters are represented by dialogue
and action."
At length Mr. Rushton recommended that both Parties
should refer the case to the decision of Mr. Clarke, a gentle-
man of integrity and experience in the profession.
Mr. Wilkins said he had the highest opinion both of the
integrity and capability of Mr. Clarke, but Mr. Hilliar was,
meanwhile, at a loss how to proceed.
Mr. Rushton again expressed his anxious desire that some
arrangement could be effected, as the present proceedings
were merely initiative, and the litigation would, probably,
e extremely tedious and expensive.
