The . news from Calcutta is , that the bill for substituting an income tax for the license tax on trades and professions "had been severely criticised by the legal members of the Council , and the clause exempting civil and military officers from the payment of this 4 ax had been rejected , and they are to pay 3 per cent , on their incomes . The Government of Bengal lias ratified the commutation of the land tax . The trill taxing trades and professions passed its sec 6 nd reading , and was referred to a select committee . ! The Chamber of Commerce and other bodies have petitioned . against it . The Governor-General will proceed on a tour through the North * west Provinces and the Punjaub juext month , and , in consequence , an Act has been passed enabling him to leave Calcutta for the North-• west , retaining full powers , for seven months .

There Are Rumours Afloat To The Effect T...
There are rumours afloat to the effect that the question of the Duchies will possibly be settled by the Prince de Carigtian , cousin to the King of Piedmont , becoming sovereign of those provinces which have voted the annexation . The prince is very popular . It "will be remembered that Eugene Sue , whose socialism rendered him obnoxious to the French Government , sought a refuge at Nice , in which city he died . Alphonse Karr , one of the most popular French authors . of the day , has chosen the capital of Savoy for his residence but not on political grounds . Parifrom Biarritz
Paris , Thursday , 6 p . m . A good deal of attention has been directed Of late to "Lord Cowley ' s movements . It was asserted a fortnight ago that he had gone to Biarritz , but it now appears that this news was premature , and that the British ambassador ' s visit to the Emperor did not actually take place until within the last few days . The combined action of England and France against the Chinese is now decided upon , and the latter power is fitting out a formidable expedition to join her ally in the chastisement of the celestials .
Lord Cowley returned to s on Sunday morning , and has gone to his seat at Chantilly . Count Walewski had left a few days earlier . Since the departure of the King of the Belgians it has been asserted that his Majesty ' s visit to the Emperor was principally in reference to the loan of £ 2 , 000 , 000 sterling , granted by France to Belgium , the immediate payment of which was rather peremptorily claimed by the former power . The demolitions advance rapidly , arid especially in the quarter of the schools . The students , who will soon return to Paris , as the holidays have nearly expired , will be surprised to witness the transformation which the Quartier Latin has
undergone . An " English square * as to be formed in the Marche des Innocents , and will , when completed , present a most attractive feature in the densely populated and not over salubrious quarter of the Halles . Near the column of Victories , which has lately been removed to a position of greater advantage , several Indian cane trees have been planted , and are flourishing in great luxuriance even beneath an October sky . A notable project now on foot is the demolition of the great opera in the Rue Lepelletier , the spot celebrated for Orsini ' s attempt on the life of the Emperor . It is intended to reconstruct the Opera-house in another and more advantageous position , not far from its present locale . _
Some very skilfully-forged Algerian bank notes are in circulation . Investigations are being pursued with the view of detecting the authors of the forgery , of whom no trace can as yet be found . The Monte de Piete has also lately been imposed upon by an individual presenting and obtaining loans upon several ingots apparently of silver , but which , upon being tested , turned out to be composed of base metal . These ingots were valued at £ 40 , but the actual value is only two shillings . The weather , still continues very warm for the season : occasionally there are showers of rain , and a few days ago we were visited again bv an electric storm .
The death of Mr . Mason , the American ambassador here , is , of course , known in , London . His . obsequies were celebrated in the American chapel in the Rue do Bercy , in the presence of a numerous congregation . A detachment of 250 troops of the line were in attendance to pay the funereal honours . A meeting of the American residents in Paris is convoked with a view to render the last homage to their distinguished fellow countryman , Mr . Mason was very much esteemed , both in his private character arid as a diplomatist . His intimates speak highly of his oratorical gifts , and pronounce him to have been one of the clearest and naogt effective speakers ever heard .
A writer in the Univera of the 11 th inst ., signed ' Havierde Fontaines , " makes much of the fact that an English fleet is on the look out to protect Gibraltar . He evidently wishes that a collision may take place between Great Britain and Spain , and that France may aid her ally of Trafalgar . The . concluding words of his article are * - " Formerly the sovereigns of Europe formed an alliance called holy against France . Is it more difficult to form n league for the fmblic good against that people whose power resides n these two words . —Division 1 Revolution ! " It is not likely that France will allow Spain to occupy territory in Morocco , although less Interested in the matter than England » for , ' as tbe London newspapers have observed , a Spanish fortress in front of Gibraltar would be a standing menace to our coveted possessions . -

They Contributed To Put Down This Agitat...
they contributed to put down this agitation . Long before any attempt at resistance to ; the movement was made by the authorities I foretold , as some of your readers may perchance recollect , the lame conclusion that the movement would haye . It originated in national conceit , not in a positive want ; and if the bubble had been left to itself , it would have exploded unperceived and harmless , notwithstanding the unanimity and spasmodic activity of the people in extending its dimensions . All interest had ceased in it two or three weeks ago , nor should we have heard anything more about it but for the vain interference of the authorities .: The people are now , in fact , tired and ashamed of the affair , and there is
October . 12 th , 1869 . —3 STow that the unity , and reform agitation has , according to all appearance , utterh spent itself , and sunk into a deathlike swoon , the princes or the clever gentlemen who perform their diplomatic business for them , and exerting themselves to the utmost to make the world believe that they , and they alone , have overcome the insurrectionary reform movement in mortal combat—the coup de grace beinc as they seem to fancy , the refusal of the Post-debit ^ -i . e circulation by the Post Office of those journals which have lent their countenance to the programme of Eisenach . Attentive observers , however , cannot allow them this glory . For neither by their childish protests and threats , nor their persecution of tradesmen , who with » innocent patriotism , signed declarations , have
no need whatever of princely warwhooping and flourishing of tomahawks . We shall , however , very probably hear more of the matter if the Government of Hanover and Hessia persist in the course of persecution which they have commenced . On the Gth inst . a prosecution was instituted atj Darmstadt against a Counsellor Metz for having taken a part in forming the national association . Two Prussian subjects have also beentaken into custody upon suspicion of being concerned in the same affair . It need hardly be observed that these proceedings can only tend to stir up the passion of the people . It is likewise a question whether the Prussian Government will tamely allow Prussian subjects to be treated as criminals for such a cause .
The great events of the past two weeks have been the opening of the Rhine Bridge at Cologne , and the speech made by the Regent on the occasion : secondly , the letter of M . Von Sclileinitz upon the dispatch of Count Rechberg ; thirdly , a letter said to have been written by the Duke of Saxe CoboUfg ,. in reply to Reehberg ; fourthly ,, the termination of the sittings of the Congress of political economists at Frankfort . The labours of this Congress have tended to convince every patriot that , before the princes can be fairly called upon to make sacrifices , the host of guild tradesmen must first make a sacrifice of their selfishness , and allow Germany to be thrown open to all Germans . As things at present stand , France—the asserted natural foe of Germany—offers a fairer field to the German
workingman than does his own country . At the opening of the Rhine Bridge , as well as at the banquet which succeeded , the Regent expressed his regret that the King was unable to behold tJie work which he had commenced crowned with success . The Prince then spoke of the grief his brother ' s continued illness caused him , and the difficulties of his position as Regent at this eventful period . He touched upon the circumstance of his having been obliged to call out the military force of the country , and acknowledged the readiness with which the people submitted to the sacrifice demanded of them . He dilated upon the military power of Prussia , and the weight it carried in the councils of the nations around . In pence and in war they might rely upon it Prussia would maintain her position in the world . He expressed the hope of a to winch tne
peaceful development of the country , structure now connecting the two banks of the most beautiful river of Germany , if not of Europe , would undoubtedly contribute . There existed no longer a right bank and a left bank—they were one , and inaepaiv able . He proposed as a toast , " The City of Cologne , " with the wish that the new bridge might provoa benefit , not only to Cologne and the Rhine province , but to the whole tend , and to all the tribes that dwelt therein , be their distinguishing appellations what they might . These are fine words ; but , as I have already stated ,, patriots are at this moment being persecuted for striving to give effect to similar sentiments . The letter of JW . Von Schleinitz and the reply of the Duke of Saxe Cqburg were regarded ns doubtful lost week . Even now it is rumoured that no lotter has been written by the Duke , and that the nnawor to Rechbferg ' s note by the Duke * s Charge d'Affairea at Dresden differs materinllv from that which has boon made public . Tho letter
of Schleinitz has , however , beon published . Though somewhat stole j it may possibly not bo unwelcome to those of our readers who follow attentively the course ot German affairs . These docum < ent « aro of more importance for the future than for the present . They nre , moreover , rather curiosities in their way , with their diplomatic rigmarole and mouthing nm Dignity . The Prussian minister writes to the following effect : — "The Imperial Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs Has been led to address a dispatch to tho representatives of the Imperial Government at Dresden , in consequence of an answer given uy His Highness the Duke of Sax Cobourg to an address presented to him by the town of Gotha . Your Excel- * fency will find enclosed a copy of said dispatch , whicn hoe heon communicated Jri confidence to tho uaDinei of Berlin . In a dispatch annexed , which snld Imperial Charge" d'AffWres read merely to Count Pcrponoher my predecessor , the Austrian minister refers in Ben ?* ' " terms to the German Reform movement , and expresses » strong desire to ascertain tho wntimonts of the Cownei of Berlin upon the question . At tho request ot Coun *
