The potatoes are totally destroyed Dy the Dilght;
and the distress Of the people is in no respect less
than that which is reported to prevail in Ire
land Last year was considered calamitous season.
1t was, however, one of abundance compared with
the present None save those who are compelled
to witness them can adequately estimate the terrible
sunferings which, from this combination of the
scourges Of food, fire, and famine await the innu-
merabe families during the approaching winter.
We have most disastrous and melancholy &c
counts Of the consequences ofa food which had oc-
cured in the Loire, the waters Of which have sud-
denly risen to height exceeding anything known
for century back An extraordinary fall of rain,
which continued for two days necessarily produced
this effect The Loire and its tributaries have been
equally the theatres of this phenomenon, and have
produced foundations unknown within the memory
of any one living throughout the departments Of La
Loire, Alier, Loir Cher, and of the Loret In a
single night the waters of the Loire itself rose twen-
ty French feet The celebrated levees Of that river
have been broken through in several places, and
extensive places have been inundated to the level OF
the roofs Of the houses. The disaster has been
most calamitous at Orleans. The route from Tours
is entirely intercepted by the inundation. The
couriers for Tours Anglers, and Nantes, have ceased
to arrive at Orleans. A considerable extent Of the
railway between Orleans and Tours is submerged
by the waters of the Loire The rivers Yonne and
Durance have also overhowed their banks.
The French government, justly alarmed at the
failure Of the late harvest appears to have lost no
time in obviatng the consequences. More thar
900 vessels laden with grain were in the hsrbors
of Naples, Genoa, and Lcghorn, ready to sail for
France. ....

A letter from Hong Kong, dated August %, says
"The late riot at Canton has led to long correspon.
dence between the consul and the British merchants
The merchants claim, as right established by trea-
ty that one Of her maesty's vessels should be per-
manently stationed off the factories, to be at hand
in the event Of any outbreak; but the consul MAIN
tains that, according TO the treaty, which provides
for a vesse-of-war at each of the five ports Wham
poa is its proper anchorage, which, though ten miles
off, he, in common with the Chinese, holds to be the
port Of Canton. The British community having NO
assurance that they will be protected by their own
government have resolved to do everything possible
to defend themselves, have formed into three regi-
ments OF volunteers, which met regularly for, 1t must
be admitted, rather irregular drill. '.
They have sent to England for 300 muskets and
accoutrements, and will then only require drill

Accounts from Canton state, that, owing to the
late disturbance having caused great want of con-
hdence and TO the continued scarcity of money the
market for both imports and exports had been in an
extremely depressed state. Large shipments were
being made to Bombay, and a few ships loaded with
sugar for England. With the exception Of these
operations, the stagnation in the market amounted
to a complete suspension Of business.

Now then, in order to show the aS,u'

hanks and other property, have obtained

o;i,r The amount for corporation purPos-.
ss for State and school house purposes, Is
h.sed upon last years assessment, as the
amount for the preesnt year has.not been
f1ed. the corporation tax will probably
be half a. mill less, and that OF the state
probably half mill more, making the ag'
gregate the same. IN,
State tax, 7 mills on the dollar:
County tax for all purposes, 81 mills on
the dollar. ,u
Township tax, ri, mills on the dollar:
CORPORATION tax, Al mills on the dollar.
School house tax, l mill on the dollar.
Making in all twenty mills Of taxation on
tho dollar, to be paid by the citizens OF Cir
cleville, for the coming year. While,then,
the bankers of Circleville will only pay
four mills and two tenths of mill, other
individuals will pay twenty mills Again
permi, the inquiry, is this right, isit' equal,
isit Just?
Let ,is extend the inquiry q little further,
and then see what will be the result. Mr..
l;ov. Bebb, Mr.. Auditor Woods, ct id omne
genus. all affirm that banks now pay more
tax on their capital than other kinds of
property; and by the foregoing statement,
taken from the Auditors books, we see that
other kinds property in the town of Circle
vile will pay twenty mills on the dollar.
And we know that the banks pay only six
pet cent. upon their profits, (the bank oi
Circleyille only fve.) How much profit
then; must the banker make upon his capi
tal. in order to make his tax equal to TWEEN
tv mills upon the dollar? For fear Gov
Bebb and Auditor Woods will not take th'
trouble to work out this question, | have
done so myself, and the answer is, th'
banks must make 33A per cent. upon thei
capital, year afser year, in order to maxi
their tax equal to the tax on other kinds o
property. Are our whig friends willing te
admit that the bankers are doubling theil
capital every three years! But in order te
make my calculation unexceptlonable'
will 50 far change it as to make it comPor'
with the present system of taxation. Mer-
chants capital and other personal property
are only taxed at ore half their value this
year: therefore make the average Of tax on
the citizens of Circleville only ter mills on
the dollar, which will be t,oe'siy mills on
holf the value of their property, and taking
a period of nine years, and the bankers OF
Circleville will only pay four tenths as much
upon their bank capital, as other citizens
pay upon their property.
Task, then, are we not justified, upon eve
~ consideration of policy, in condemning
the present tax law? | may, Mr.. Editor,
upon some future occasion, examine some
other features ofthis unjust, unequal and
iniquitous law. nao, o,n,
