IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS.

New Fork, September 7th, 1833.
DIU It Sin,--I think it would be well if it were better under-
stood on your side, respecting persons coming out to. this
country, say destined for Upper Canada, or elsewhere west-
ward, that they have to pay duties on little articles which they
commonly have,—say articles of goods beyond their wearing
apparel, such as linen not made up, tools, when the individuals
are not mechanios, and the tools not in use, books, &c. &c.
There is no drawback, you know, on goods going out of this
country, when the duties are over fifty dollars, or in any case
when they go out by inland navigation, so that our Upper
Canada friends (and they are not a few) complain that this is
not sufficiently known in Great Britain, in which case they
would have sent these matters out by way of Quebec, save in
the winter season. I wish very much our people could have
this done for them, as this is certainly. the best route, both .for
expedition, safety, awl comfort; besides, this is a port which
is open all the year round; but, as it is at present, it would
be Wt.ll, I respectfully suggest, to inform the emigrating public,
that there is a custom-house in New York, and a tariff of
duties, and that, however kindly disposed the officers in this de-
partment of the government are in dealing with such cases,
the duties must be collected.
You might show this to the Government Agent for Settlers in
your town, and
I have the honour to remain,
Dear sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. C. BUCHANAN,
British Vice-Consul and Agent of the Canada Ladd
Company.

WHIG MINISTERIAL JUGGLING,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STA.YDARD.

Sta,—l cannot otherwise better designate the manner in
which I am now annoyed by "the powers that be, " under the
licensing system, than as above.
It appears that Supervisors of Excise have access to the as-
sessments to ascertain the amount charged therein for inhabited
house duty, and the duty on licenses is regulated by that data.
Ministers have made much boast of the mighty reductions
they
.were about to make for the relief of the country; and not
only their organs of the press have loudly re-echoed the empty
sound, but our church-walls yesterday were bespattered with a
notice to the effect " that one entire moiety of the duties
charged on the rent of houses of persons duly licensed to sell
therein beer, ale, wine, or other liquors by retail, are reduced
and repealed from and after the sth of April, 1833." Still it
appears, this is all a humbug in reality, for during the last and
many previous years my house was assessed at something under
420,,pr annum,- and consequently my spirit licence was only.
£4 45.; but the assessment this year being advanced to nearly
double the former assessment, my licenses are advanced to
£ll lls., and this a branch of taxation upon which an act of
parliament has actually been passed for the reduction " of one
entire moiety." However, it appears, I may console myself,
by the prospect of hearing some time hence from the tax-col-
lector that the commissioners, in obedience to the before alluded
to act of parliament, will mitigate the exorbitant duty their
officer had previously charged me with—and of which, by the bye,
I have had no notice of appeal—nineteen shillings, or therea-
bouts !

I believe there are numbers of widows in this town, like my-
self, with a family to rear, who suffer by this act of ,injustice,
and I crave your indulgence for the insertion of the foregoing,
hoping it may induce some more capable of elucidating this
subject, to treat it in the manner it deserves in your next pub.
lication.—Yours, &c.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY

COUNTY KILKENNY.—The number (officially reported) of
insurrectionary outrages committed in this county, for the.
month of July, amounted to 16; for August, 26; and for the
month of September, 3.5 ; being an increase of nine over the
latter month, and of 19 as compared with the month of July.
The following is the copy of an illegal notice posted on the
chapel of Mullinaharrigle, in the parish of Listerlin and Ba-
rony of Ida, on Sunday last :
" All such land jobbers as gave up the around and began to
till it again will be sorry ; it will happen them more than Ma-
rum or Joyce. We will neither hough cattle or burn houses,
to destroy the country as we did before. No—sheet iron inside
the doors will not prevent us, .but we will go and drop them oa
the spot. Phelan, Philip Malone, Tracey, Forestal, and Ker-
wan, so prepare, the long nights are coming. Let the parish
see we are neither afraid of informers or pointers. Such as
will visit you will have no informers or pointers.—'There is a
great deal that we did not mention that will suffer as well as
the rest."

A farmer, named James M'Evoy, residing in the parish of
Eirke, Barony of Galmoy, was killed on" Sunday night by a
party of Whitefeet, who, it is supposed, came from the Queen's
County for the purpose of murdering him. We have not heard
any cause assigned for the perpetration of the foul deed. The
matter is, at present, undergoing an investigation before Col.
Osborne, R. M., and Mr. Fordo, C. C..
An armed party of nocturnal legislators attacked the dwel-
ling-house of a man named Larrissy, living on the lands of
Drimurrin, in the Barony of Gowran, on Sunday night, and
after obtaining an entrance, beat him severely, and ordered
him, on pain of death, to surrender his farm on the following
day.—Kilkentry Moderator.
The Rev. Edward Nash, for several years the worthy curate
of Bally M'Elligott, county Kerry, has been presented by the
Bishop of Limerick to the living of Ballycahane, in the diocese
of Limerick, vacant by the death of the Rev2John Cousins.
On learning the death of the Rev. John Cousins, the lord
bishop, unsolicited, immediately ordered a donation of £5O to
be presented to his disconsolate widow and children.
The living of Killarney has been tendered by the Earl Ken-
mare to the Rev. Arthur Herbert.
