THE CHARLESTON HOTEL.-A change -which has been for a long time contemplated in the proprietor? ship of this , old and popular hotel, was finally consummated yesterday, and Mr. J. P. Horbach, who has so ?well acted the part of superintendent since the death of Mr. White, is now the managing proprietor. Tho Charleston Hotel is an old institution of this city, and indeed of this State, for who of the many visitors from the interior does not regard its massive pile, stately colonnade, handsome drawing-rooms, abundant table and luxurious chambers as forming at least one-half of the city of Charles? ton? Mr, C. A. Miller, so well and favorably known to the traveling public, continues to preside over its finances.-Charleston Mercury. The English are groaning over an increase of a penny in the pound in the income tax, caused by the Abys? sinian war. This makes the aggre? gate five pence in the pound, equi? valent to a Little over two per cent, income tax; ours in five. The tax in England is imposed on the average income for three years, and all in? comes on ?100 or $500 are exempt. With ns the exemption applies to all under Si,OOO. But our income tax is more than twice as heavy as the English, to say nothing of the taxes on manufactures and various articles of common consumption, in whioh they are more than four times as high._ S$900,000 has lately been paid for e iron works at Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
