Itis new ascertained that England had enter- tained ambitious designs upon, and contemplated seizing, the fine Island Tigre, commanding the Gulf of Fonseca or Canchanja, and controlling, also, all the States of Central America, and the whole Pacific coast from Panama to Mazatlan and San Francisco. If our readers will look at the map, they will see at once that this bay, of which Tigre island is the key, is, with the excep- tion of San Francisco, the finest on the Pacific coast, and is in such a position as would enable the pation in possession of it to intercept every- thing which might pass by Cape Hora, across the Isthmus of Panama, or by the proposed ship canal through Nicaragua. In fact, it 18 the most important point on the whole Pacific coast, and bearsalmost the same relation to that side of the continent, a8 the island of Cuba does to this. England having determined upon possessing her- self of that island, concluded recently upon seiz- ing it, as indemnity for e alleged debts owing ty Honduras, and despatched some of her vessels of war to take it. Previous, however, to consum- mating this aggression, Mr. Squier, the American Charge to ental America, concluded a treaty be- tween the United States and Honduras, by which the government of that State ceded to us that island; and when the Britishships of war that were to seize it, arrived there, as they have uadoubted- ly dene before this, they found it possessed by the United States, and the American flag foating over it. What course Englind will think proper to pursue in this matter, we do not kaow; but it is very likely that a controversy will grow out of it But this is not all. Itis now ascertained thet Epgland has not confined her intrigues to Nicare- gvaand Honduras. Costa Rica and Guatemala are believed to be completely under her influence, tor it hasl evked out recently that the former State has made important cessions to that power, in re- | tura for whatis ce'led British protection. There is doubi, however, of those cessions being con- fimed; tor, nowwithsianding that Brituush gold has been liberally expended, the people of Costa Rica are indignant at the proceedings of their govern- ment, and will revolt if they are carried into efiect— if, indeed, they have not done so already. By the last accounts which we have received from ther the government of Costa Rica eatert arevola this eecount, and had banished a oa ined tears of | some of the leaders of the opposition, amoag whom | is Bonelle, late General-iv-chie! While on the subject of Briush intrgue and ag- preesioa on the American continent, we may as well exnove the trickery resorted to by that power towards the State of Nie by giving a his- tory of their proceedings, condensed from corre! pondence which has been in our possession for | son i, and copies of which, we believe, are now deposited re State Department @; | Washington.

The regular report of the Comptroller of this city has been placed before the public, and has beea commented upon a great deal, by all who have taken the trouble to investigeie its details. Toe most promment feature of 1is coatestsi s the séari- ling fact, that the taxation of the last year was at the rate of one hwndred and ten cents on the one the conduct which hundred dollars, and this year it will amount to one | hundred and eighteen, making a difference of erght cents on every one hundred dollars. ‘The following is the estimate for the year 1819:— For general expenditure of the city goverr- ment, other than “police,” “lamps and gas,” and for cleaning and repairing streets... 00 For police. ; 00 For lamps and gas. 00 : 00 00 00 “Common schools, (say)... .. 00 Deficiency of interest on city ‘debi? . . 000 00 Deficiency of tax of 1848. « 187175 00 State tax, (e@y).. +. 127,100 00 State Luvatic Asylum at Utica. for sup- im and clothing of one patient, and neral expenses Of two patients...... 143 73 Institution of Deaf and Dumb, for support, clothing, aud tuition of 33 pupils... .... 2,420 00 Institution for blind, aud. clothing of 8 pupils. . * Will vary sc cording to valuation. Since the report was made out, it has been ascer- tained that the item for commoa shools amounts 10 $307,852 22, instead of $250,000, and the State tax to $128,108 MM, instead ot $127,100, making the sum total $3,046,788 49. This is the largest tax- ation that the people of New York have ever been suljected to; but the systea by which it is assessed is by no means uniform or reliable. This document of the Comptroller was submitted to the Committee on Annual Taxes, together with the Assessor's books for 1849, and last eveniug they reported to the Board of Supervisors, who adopted their report, ordering that the Assesors’ rolls be corfirmed, and warrants issued to collect ‘pe taxes. The commitiee account for the increase of taxes this year, as compared with the last, by the fact that the tax of 1848 was deficient to the amount of $157,175; whereas the deficiency of the tax of the previous year amounted to buat $90,000. Then there are also the following items of increase : Redemption of Washington square iron railing For deficiency of last year, ‘on sane account The committee also observe that, by a decision of the Supreme Court, more than $4,000,000 of per sonal esiate belonging to insurance companies, is pot lable to taa-ton, aud wherefre excluded trom the essessment roils. The decrease in persona estate, for the present year, is nearly $3,000,000.

That fear has kept back thousands who were secretly in favor of Canadian mndepen- dence and apnexation to the United States, from Joining the movement, or from expressing. their opirioas on ibe subject. They look upon evil war es the greatest ot all calamities; and rather than do avyching tbat would tend to bring about a rupture ‘248 849,227 48 | a decrease instead pated Will come off om Thursday next, over the t and Johnson's between the provinces and the mother country, they would willingly continue to wear the yoke of colonial servitude, and to suffer on, as they have suffered, under the burdens imposed upoa then. ‘This class of persons includes a large propoiiion of the people possessing influence and rank throagh- oat the Uwe provinces, whoze weight, if throwa inio the scale, would cecide the issue in a veiy short me. They have beea holding back—aeither i2voring the annexation sentiment, nor opposing it, but quietly waiting the time, come when it might, when the English governmeat would say to the Curadian people, that if they desired to effeet a chance in their political relations with the mother couniry, they might do so in their own way, end without opposition. If the sentiments on this subject, which have re- cently appeared in some of the leading London journals, are entitled to ay weight in the matie*, or have emanated from persons in office, we should say, that if a majority of the people of Canada really desire annexation, they can procure it without any armed opposition from the British government. We infer so from what has appeared in the London Tvnes, and other Eng, lish papers, received by the last steamship. In fact, the matter 1s treated as one of profit and loss, end national dignity and honor, and all that sort of | hing, are thrown overboard in discussing the sub- ect. Now, if this is the case, there 1s nothing to prevent those timid people whom we have referred | to, from coming out and giving in their adhesion at | once to the annexation movement; and we have no | doubt they will do so. If they feel confident that a conflict between the Canadians and the Dritish troops would not result from their joining the ranks of the annexationists, they will do so, and thus swell the ranks of that party. Now that there appears to be a clear field opened for the struggle, we shall watch with a good deaj | of interest the progress of this movement towards annexation. The struggle between the remaining loyalists and the annexationists will be spirited, | and, unless great care and caution are used, a vio- | lent ovtbreak, ending in a civil war, may be the result. The project of separation from Eagland | will, of course, be opposed by the provincial go- vernment, and by those who are in office, as wely as by those who have a foolish and undefined dread | of republicanism and republican institutions. In | this category may be included the great army of | | reured Liitish navy and military officers, whose | loyalty and attachment to the British crown are of | aromantic character, and who fear that,in the | | event of annexation, they would become mere cyphers in society. In fact, the struggle will be between republicanism and monarchy, on a small | seule; and it needs no very great prophetic wisdom | to tell in which way it Will be decided All the annexationists have to do 1s to sink local questions, and in every election, great and | small, make the question of annexation the prinei pal issue. Let them support no candidate who is not in favor of the measure, and, although they may fail once, twice, or three times, yet in the ead they are certain of succeeding. As soon as they shall have a majority in the Provincial Parliament, they can pass a resolution dissolving ail political | | connection with Great Britain, and the matter will | be over.

It would s that the robber, or robbers, understood the way of the house. ‘The entrance was effected by the basement, the window adjoining the door having been broken, and the hand putin and the key turned. ‘This, however, done. would not have been sufficient, as there was a boit beneath ; but it enabled the bury lars to force opem the door, Finding a chopper in the went, they brought it up to the parlor, one door of which had the key turned in it outeide. They used the chopper in uorcrewing the screws which fastened the belt-catch of the lock of a press.
