The ENGLISH INCOME TAx-There are some
very interesting facts and suggestions contained
in q parliamentary return recently published,
income tax in England Scotland and Wales
during the year ending 9Th Of April, 1857. The
rate Of tax is, we believe, three and a half per
cent and all persons are liable for ii whose an
nual incomes reach fifty pounds (s2SO) or
upwards. Well, il seems that of the entire popu-
lation OF Great Misunderstanding Ireland-the
number of persons who were assessed under the
income tax law was only 25s,sS0. Taking the
population at twenty two millions, and assuming
an average of five persons 70 family, IL would
follow that only one head Of family out Of
every seventeen is liable to the payment Of
income tax; or, In other words, has an annual
income Of $3.50, or five dollars week There
Ia no means Of getting at similar statistics In
this country; but il Ia evident that COMPARE
son Of the relative means Of the people Of
Great Britain and the United States would be
much in favor Of the latter.
Ii Is also worthy Of notice. in connection
with these figures, that Of the whole number OF
assessed on incomes Of from hundred to a
hundred and fifty pounds $500 to $500; and
that those on the next list-from hundred and
fifty to two hundred pounds-fall to below one
third Of that number (i0,Os6), and diminish
in regular proportion till they come TO in
comes Of from nine hundred TO a thousand
pounds. Between these figures there are only
eight hundred and sixteen contributors, while
between one and two thousand pounds there arc
five thousand four hundred and twenty-three
OF persons whose incomes are quarter million
Of dollars and upwards there are forty six;
while some wealthy banking firms, like the
Rotbschilds, that cannot readily give an &C
count Of their prodigious wealth, compound for
the payment Of . certain fixed annual sum.
The real point Of interest, however, In these
tables In the fact that half Of all the contribu.
tors to the English income tax are persons
in the middle walk Of life, with moderate in.
comes Of from Eve hundred to seven hundred
and fifty dollars and that other fact that only
one out Of seventeen heads Of families Is In the
receipt OF over two hundred and fifty dollars

Mn ENGLISH oS THE ESGLIsH Built ap-

that il amounts to nothing. And II Mr.
English does not understand 'the true in

like to know who does. The result Of the late
election In Kansas could leave no doubt in any

The WA1EsNG PLACEs-WMpING UP OF THE
SEAsoS,-We have lying by us a large batch OF
watering place correspondence, for which,
owing to the pressure Of advertisements, we
are unable to find space. Pleasure in this case,
as in most others, must give pace t, business,
and our correspondents must console themselves
with the reflection that we have given them
thus far full latitude for their lucubrations.
We feel the less regret at being compelled to
close our columns to them, from the fact
that the arrivals in town show that the
season is virtually at its close. From fair
review Of the results stated in these COM
munications, il would seem that many in
terests have this year been benefited at the
expense of a few. Experience has shown that
il is no longer possible to concentrate and keep
any large number Of summer tourists in par
ticular spot. The era of fashionable watering
places and of mammoth hotels has gone by, to
give place to more rational modes of enjoying
the pleasures Of the country. Instead of con.
gregating in two or three over-crowded and in
convenient localities, our summer tourists now
spread themselves over every part of the Union.
They are to be found in the quiet sea shore
hooks, the lake villages and the distant
mountain retreats, which offer the fresh
and healthful attractions OF which the
overtaxed energies OF our hard working
citizens have need. Owing to the peculiar
abolition sentiment Of the North. the Southern
ers no longer contribute by their presence and
their money, to the prosperity of fashionable
watering places like Saratoga and Newport.
These are the places, consequently, which have
suffered most, and which are likely TO be per-
manently injured by this revolution in the public
taste. OF the benefits which the change will
confer on the public health and morals, IL is un-
necessary for us to speak. Those familiar with
our fashionable resorts will readily understand
why the temptations to which people are cx-
posed there are good neither for soul or body.
On the whole, then, although few monopo-
lists may have suffered this season, il may be
calculated that the great body Of hotel keepers
all over the country have been largely bene-
fitted by the scattering tendency Of these new
ideas The money formerly spent in the ex-
travagances Of dress and Of the table. has been
more proftably expended in the pursuit of
health and intellectual improvement; and thus
two great ends have been accomplished
more equal distribution of our social wealth
and the removal Of the temptations to vicious
habits
