IRELAND AND SCOTLAND.

Dr.. CHALMERS has recommended a direct pop
erty tax for the relief of Ireland and Scotland
upon all values over fifty pounds. lie says Par
lament shodld clay no tax on any income below
ESQ, and then tax all above this, not laying the
on the whole income, but only on tho
excess above ESQ. Thus yearly tax of five
per cent. would amount to ten shillings on all
who had eco year; to twenty shllings on all
who had 60 a year."
The produce of such tax, if wisely admins
tered, might transform both Ireland and the High
lands into prosperous countries in the course oil
avery few years.
He says, too, and powerfully for the temper.

TERRIBLE COLLISION.

About two o'clock on the morning of the 10th
inst, the steamer Chesapeake, coming, and the
schooner John Porter, going down the lake, met
off Conncaut about four miles, and the concus-
sion was so great as TO the schooner to sink
in few moments-the hands escaping to the
Chcsapeake-and the Chesapeake also sunk in
forty feet water shortly alter--lhe upper deck re-
naming cut of water. Some passengers got into
the boat and on reaching the shore wentto Con-
neaut and sent the steamer Gen. Harrison 10 their
assistance, and she saved number clinging TO
the upper deck, as well as some floating. The
wind was blowing hard AT the time. There were
about lory-liye passengers on board. How ma
ny escaped in safety 10 the shore, was not known.
The following are known 10 have persisted, viz:
Mrs. Honk Waertown, New York; G.. Van Do
zen, Sandusky, Ohio; E. Coon, Beevile, Ohio;
S. York, Tillin, Ohio. OF the crew, r. Suther-
land, chief engineer; Orson Ware, Cd Porter;
r. McNab, deck hand. Others it is feared are
lost-and much properly. A large amount Of
goods were on board, and about $4,000 in mon
ey, with trunks and other baggage, all lost. A
card is published returning thanks 10 Captain
Parker, Of the steamer General Harrison, 10
whose assistance they attribute the saving of
each of the signcrs of the card, thirty'Ihree in
number.-OhiO Repository.

The DEATH of the Lord Lieutenant Of ireland,
Earl of Beesborough, (PoAsonby) had excited
deep regret through all parts of Great Brjtain.-
Lord Boesorough was, we believe, the Viscoun
Duncannon of the Greys and Durham admins
traron, that carried the reform bill in 1882, and
was distinguished alike in the annals of politics
and gallantry. He died at the age of Sc, and
was Vicounl Melbourno's brother-in-law; his sis

The financial prospect Of the country are more

The Bank Of England has shown both the
ability and disposition to discount with more
freedom, and the consequence was greater buoy

THE BETRAYERs OF Freedom. Many OF the
Wing papers have published, surrounded by black
lines, the names CT those Northern members of
Congress who voted against the Wilmot proviso,
and with lines OF still deeper black those who
first voted for it and then in obedience TO
tive influence changed their votes, aid have
headed The list with the title, Betrayers ofFree
DOM" We have several times been asked why we
do not follow the example. We really cannot see
the justice or the proprety OF it. man cannot
be said to betray cause, unless he is bound TO
some allegiance tot. Santa Anna could not by
any means betray the United States, and General
Taylsr could not possibly betrdy Mexico. Now,
these Loo ofoco members OF Congress never owed
any allegiance to freedom and how could they
betrdy il? Their allegiance is only 10 party. Ii
at can be shown that they have at any time allow
ed conscience or duty to stand between them and
the advancement OF the Locofoco party, they may
be fairly charged with treason, but not otherwise.
If they have ever preferred the sight to party
pediency, if they have ever suffered sense of
justice qGsSaa rtion Of truth 10 stop them in the
executi6fr5f.s party mandate they may be called
traitors, but if they have gone straightforward 10
every work o! iniquity.t to which they have been
called if they kept single eye to the party, with
no thought of the country, they have only done
what they were called to do aud expected TO, aud
they deserve commentator rather than blame,
from those whose authority they acknowledge.
We have watched the course OF the democratic
members OF the last Congress with some interest,
and we can safely say, that we have not known
them, in any instance, to shrink from any task,
however vile, however dishonorabie, which has
been assigned to them In every case they have
manifested the most ahect subserviency to their
Southern masters, ard ii, in moment OF thought
less independence, OF impeled by desire to sat-
isiy some unreasonable constituents at home, they
have suffered some rebelous expressions to escape
their lips, they have never embodied them in ac-
ton, and have always eaten their words, with a
most commendabe avidity and without any signs
of disgust Unless the Southern members should
make some arrangement by which their own
slaves might represent them in Congress, we do
not how they could find better instruments for
their purposes than are afforded in the Northern
Locofocos. Prou Journal.
