Of late we have been unable to give that at- tention to editorial duties which we would wish to do;--and this we the more regret, that there are several subjects which demand some little

notice.

harge will be made upon the Poor. Our arks were certainly written more with res to what was the feeling in England when the income tax was imposed there and where books and accounts could be called for, than from an examination of the new ordinance. By paying thirty per cent upon the rent, this apterference with private business is avoided, and as rents in Macao are comparatively low the tax is not so oppressive as it would be in Hongkong. With all allowances however it is heavy and can only be justified by the neces As Macao still retains a con- sity of the case. siderable trade in rice, Straits Produce, &c., which cannot fail to be benefitted by the repeal of the custom-house duties; we hope Governor Amaral, will be soon enable to reduce the precentage considerably, and at the same time. by omitting all reference to incoine, remove the principal objections to a measure which though the most judicious means of raising a revenue, will be at all times unpopular with the rate- payers.--Hongkong Register, August 11,

We do not see that we are at cross pur- poses" at all. Our opinion as to the decree was clear from the first-it is an attempt to raias revenue, the burden of which will fall upon Foreigners who may venture to reside in Macao. At the modified rate, the tax will be simply 40 per cent on the house rent-but there is no security for even this limitation. We confess we did not understand what opinion the Register had formed, as it appeared difficult to reconcile such an enormous tax, with the li. berality which was held up as a pattern for the Government of Hongkong; but as the re- marks referred to, it now appears, were penn- ed before the write: had seen the document, we may suppose that the he had no very clear notions upon the subject.

The Register defers to the opinion of a Friend," who states that the houses of the poor will not be assessed. As the property of the Church is also exempt, the burden will therefore fall upon a very small number of the native population.-

(From the Boletim do Governo.) The Governor of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor, in Council determines as follows. -

I hold it fit, in virtue of the law of 2nd May, 1845. to determine that Foreigners be pernaitted to buy or bulk anuses, and possess any ground in Mueno, paging to the public Treasury a quit-rent of half a cent for each square cavid Portuguese of all the ground they possess, The authorities to whom the cbymisance of this belongs, have thus agreed and enacted,

Joao MARTA FERREIRA DO AMARAL,

The Governor of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor, in Council determines as follows-

Considering that the duty of five uace per Ton which the vessels anchored in the Typa have paid is excessive, it is judged proper to enact as follows! 1. Native and Forign vessels which heretofore were obliged to pay five mace poc ton in the aneh r. age of Typn, aball from this date pay one mace

per ton.
