Inucr Disrn.Lation.—Despite the unwearied efforts of the revenue officers, the distiliation of illicit whiskey still gocs on, and may, for aught that is known, continue. Every method is taken and every pretence made use of to evade the payment of the duty, and when this cannot be avoided into the system is occasionaliy resorted to of giving in false returns. A few distilleries have been recontly seized by the officers, and a considerably larger nomber, it is understood, are under their sur eillance. In ca-es Where no dity is paid, or wh re tho duly is manifestly incommensurate with the amount of stulf pat out, the illicit whiskey is taken off by carters in the dead of night, the casks being skil ully pack d so as to present any appearance oth r than their own; and, as a matter of cours. the process is m ch facnituied from the fact that the men engaged in the conveyance of the whickey are paid at avery immoderat rate, Two dis- tilleries recently seized are under the oye of officers, but ther product bas not yet been removed. In one four thousund gallons have been assessed at two dollars: per }alon.

Tve unfortanats people had, & appears, ben living und r difficulties, owing to the eformons demand for house room and tie conse- queut exorbitant rate of rents. Unfortonate as it may be for individuals or individual families, the measnre which drove these people from their homes is one that cond not be avoided—the ground on which the tene- ments stood being required, along with a considerable spac) adjacent, for commercial purposes.
