The rigorous inforcemetit of the Income Tax, drives
many industrious individuals to extreme distress.
To avoid such extreme rigour, why dßes not the
ChatiteLuton of the EXCHEQUER call in the over

chants are suffered to rebond. The Minister should
not be so severe in collecting the Income Tax from
the distressed, and so indiscreetly partial to' those
that are wealthy. The docks cannot contain the
constant supplies brought to them, and the money
that is kept from Qovcrnment is immense; which
money is, in fact, lent to the merchant to speculate

A melancholy account of aq interestitg female,
who had been seduced, and basely abandoned, and
who had been secreted by an elderly man, who
offered to -protect and convey her to her friends at
Twizienliam, which lately appeared in this paper.
It has been since asserted that she was an iniposter,.l
and had defrauded several inhabitants of Ellackil
friars'-road, Surrey, of money, which they had
been induced, by her pitiable tale, to contribute
to her relief. It appears, however, from a letter
addressed by Mr—Fox, the Churchwarden of the
parish of Christchurch, to Mr. PKTERS, the person
who first communicated the affecting narrative to
the Public, that he had been from house to huu'e
in Blackfriars'-road, in order to ascertain the.
truth of this alleged imposition, but.that .he could
not find that any such person as thefemale in ques.
tion bad been relieved by the inhabitants of that
place. The whole affair therefore remains in the
sync mysterious state, and the place. where the
female is concealed has not been discovered.
