The Plaintiffs are
_prop►ietors of very extensi)vt
topper concerns, and the Defeudant is an;lnspee.•
for of the Duties on Income in the City of hilt:l
don. The action was brought for wilful 'and
vexatious surcharge. It appeared, howevel-, that
one of the additional Commissioners (Mr. James
Dixon), who is now dead, had advised the Defen.
dant to make the surcharge, which, in 'the opi.
'lion of the Court, removed from him the impute-.
thin of having made it vexatiously, and the Plain.
tiffs were notv.suited. It was, notwithstanding,
distinc;ly understood, that a surcharge made
without any ground besides an Inspector's own
presumption, is unwarrantable, and would be
deemed vexatious.

It is settled that the renewal of the east India
Company's Charter is not to be .brought forward
this Session.
The profits of Mr. Gittnieit, the A potheciry-
General, as far as can tie juged from utliCial do-
cuments, are nearly. 12,0001. a year. • Now can

servant for hi5.14.4011m. than ht thed.ocribteli
done, 'viz. by a powtdege in. t peke of do arti.
ilea consunied in such service? It le tigast
of a Junta so connected, to •wartis life Wide*
wanted, So as to make the* Bourse, and, is 11.104,
to raise their price by any other means. all hi
very often done by a monopoly, attid other eon.'
trivances which the public can bare no.cooceptiott
of. I)oes thit part of our system want reform or
not ? Ought Tellers and Comptrollers of the E.
chequer to receive double the income. when the
Nation is in additional distress ? Can it he said
such a nation is composed of rational creatures, if
their Governoroare allowed to do such things ?
• Among the provisions of the Bill fur Amending

It is computed that the Austrian Monarchy,
by the loss of The quicksilver mine of Istria, the
lead mines of Bleyberg, the, customs at .Trieste,
the salt-works at tiallein, Saltzburgh, and Wie.
tiers in•Gallicle, with the customs of the ceded
countries, will sustain au annual deficiency in her
retenuolor there than 40 millions.
So great is the scarcity of hay and, straw its
the South of Germany, occasioned by the con.
sitmptiott during the late War, that the greater part
of the farmers, for 'want of fodder, are obliged to
kill their cattle, and sell the careaies at one half
the real value.,
Several commercial houses have stopped pity.)
