It was part of an aggressive movement, and they had to deal with a vast body of persons scattered over the world, banded together under a common head, organised as ao ether body ever was organised in this world, with a priesthood eminent for their skill, for 0114 ahiity, and he would add for their piety and learning, and with the whole weight of the Roman catholic body abroad directing and urging on this attack. (Hear, hear.) Having said thus much with regard to the nature of the attack and the charm'. ruf those who bed made it, he would now allude to toe causes which might have operated. (fie ir, hear.) Asa public man 'dandle -et before his constituents he should not shriek from expressing his opinion on that point. (Cunt...) There could be no doubt that many of the pciati -al acts both of the late and of the present government had tended to (hie r. suit. Cardinal Wiseman bad in his manifesto expresaly told them that that was so, and they could not pretend to kseuw better then lie did what were the actual causes which had led to the taking of thin step. (Hear, heel%) But there could he no dcubt that attention had else been directed to the dineiens amongst protests:lts, and more especially to that great relegious movement which had for the last fifteen years or more been proing on in theirchurch. (Rear, hear.) They could not abut their eyes to the fact that a certain Pete( principles end opinions had been set ft rib in coosidered works, in periodicals, in nursery tales, in novels, fa short (if he might use sisch on expression) in eve ry mode by which rich thugs cold: be crammed down their throve. (Hear, hen.) This had been going on ler • neat many I year said it was quite impossible teat three things sheatld not bin hal their effect. ( tine, hear)) Coupled with this was the fact that a—(Cries of "The lliehop ut (lxiorel") that a great dtaire had existed for the reso nant of many of our ancient buildings.

REPEAL OF IHE DUTY ON PAPER. MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN. Last night a numerously attended meeting was held at the L ndon Tay. ro, for the purpose of anopting measures to obtain the abolition of the tax on paper, Mr. COWAN. M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that it was with elms little reluc tance he consented to preside at that meeting, hems* It might naturally be supposed that • person who had a peen piety in erect et who was supposed to have such an interest. had a private interest in the repeal of the tax on paper . There were these, however, whe thought that they had an In the maintenance of the tax, and that it would be injurious to them to have it removed. (No, no.) That was their opinion not his. But the pecuniary consideration mascot the only point involved. He himself wished to be feud from the restrictions imposed on the paper manufacturers, bat if the trade was a monopoly the sooner it was got rid of the better for the country at large. (Hear, hear.) He would leave it to ethers to *adieu them on the injury which the tax did to literature, and would confine himself to givlog a few illustrations of the enormous amount of most useless labour which the manufacturers of paper were celled on to perform, and tne superfluous waste of time to which they wore subject from the detention of the manufactured article in the mill. At the beg!aning of the century thew were terenty.seven exciseable articles, of which there remained but six or seven at the present time. Of these there was bat one article which bore on the face of it peseta facie evidence of the duty having bean charged by means of the fesetned on it. That article was paper. The absence of this label subjected the mann facturer to a tax of 101. ; it used to be 1401. There was but one article subject to detention for a single moment after the duty bad been charged. That article was paper. Yet one would think that itshould be the other way, in consequence of paper hearing the label on the face of it. But the cone teary was the fact, for the exiles obliged the manufacturer to keep his paper 24 hours boors he could seed it out; end this time was calculated from the period when the officer visited his work. The process of charging the paper was also a peculior one, for the paper label which was panted on must be dry before the duty was charged. When Mae had to be done with r. gard to every description of paper end on every ream ; and when, moreover, it had to be weielsed and wrapped up by the officer it imposed an amount of labour and consumed a quantity of time, which was very singular in this so called free trade country. If no much time was uselessly expended in the manufacture of any other articles—such as gloves for instance—it would not be allowed to continue a wes k, tor the voice of the country would be instantly raised ',meanie it. (Hear, beer.) It was because the met manufacturers were &small body scattered over the country, and were not coucentra•ed in • par: ivilar locality like the manufacturers of Birmingham and Sheffield, that these unfair restrictions ware allowed to continue. (Hear, hear.) He wished to exhibit to them a specimen of paper which had been manufactured some time ego in the county of Gloucester. The cost of the raw article was 2s. a cwt. or 21. • ton. It was made in fact from wheat straw, a fact for which he could vouch. But hear it—all agricultural protectionists and squires—the duty was 14.. 91 on an article which cost in its raw state but 2a. (Hear, hear.) The article which he had shown them was deemed paper by the excise, because water was mixed up in its preparation. It was reduced in bulk and became paper or millbeard. Here Was another article which was not celled paper, because it was manufactured in a dry state: it was not formed into a state of pulp, and, ecuseeqsawly, it superseded the enormously taxed article which WWI formed with water. ' The duty was 700 or 800 per cent. on the original value of the article. The duty on cotton wool wan repealed by Sir R. Peel in consequence of the rrong representations made by the manufacturers of England, although the duty was only Eve-rixteenths of • Id. per lb. ; he did ant object to that, because he thought the tax was unjust. But the raw materials of their London journals came from the sweep. logs of the mil!e, and to lead it with a tax of lid. per lb., together with the restrictions he before alluded to, was a stigma on a country that prided itself on ita freedom. (Hear) One of the *out features of the tax was that it was • t.: on labour.( Hear.)T hey were in the habit of riaicuting theChineee beams* they were in the habit of confining the female foot within the smallest possible limits. But did not they follow a somewhat similar course la this matter when they culthed the labour of that clam within the smallest possible boueds ? He had been told that 30,000 females found employment in ' Peril in the manufacture of paper boxes, and that when ladies mode purchase. their goods were not handed to them in whitybrown parcels, hut in tastefully made paper boxes. These hoses came into this country at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent, whilst there was • tax of 1001. or 2001 per cent. ou the raw material if manufactured at home. (Hear.) He ko sw that paper of various descriptions came into British ports, and was mist into British colonies free from duty to the displacement of that which was manufictured in tt.ie country, and carrying those beautiful excise hieroglyphics which made them puss off as a real British article. Ile had said that 30,000 temaln I. and employment in Paris, in the manufoeture of paper byes; and in the prts,nt day when ' they read of such and nod deplorable details of female wretchedoeu in this country, owing to the want of employ ment, was it right or itiet to that suffering portion of the community to decoarage • branch of industry ethical would give employment to females is the construction of useful articles, but from which they were now debarred by this vile and moostrous law. (Hear ) Another elate of sufferees from t'.is law were the letter ?rem printers. He knew that they suffered great private ma at times both in Ella I burgh and in London, and that they bore their I trial. with unexampled patience. (Hear, hear.) Bat he hoped the day was not far distant Wart the press Of this country would be made really free, and liberated from those trammels which now confined it. (Cheers) They bad great encouragement. 17p to 1839 the government had the monopoly of printing the Holy Scriptures in Seorlend. But after the monopoly was abolished, there was an mew. mous demand for the Holy Scriptures, and they sold to three times the extent they did put ot.ly. (Hear, bear.) rhe monopoly still existed in England, and although they professed to make it free from any tax. individuals were enabled to acquire spacious demesnes, in consequence of the monopoly being kept up. (Him, bear.) The time for this movement was well chosen. A half century of groat chonge end ex raordinary progress had just closed, and he rtjeiced that the commencement of the present half century was marked by a movement for the repeal of the texts on knowledge. (Hear, hear.) The peony postage—a work which retitled Mr. Rowland Hill to be considered one of the b. octet ors of the world—(cheer.)—come into opera tion in the last half century. The design of the beauti ul palace in Hyde Park had been conceived, and all honour was due to the illustrious prince who originated it. ("Hear, beer," "No, ao," end t•issis.) Redid not wish to excite diecuesiou en that point. Ha would only say that the continuance of the tax on paper was unjust, and he rejoiced that it woi,ll be no longer necessary for them to go to prime minister. or shancellors of the exchequer, from whom they might get hut • shilling reception, but to the people. (Hear, hear.) HP was gl•d the venue was changed from Downiog street to the House of Commons, and he hoped his hon. friead, Mr. GiMon, would renew u'xt union his motion for the moan eipation of the country from the trammels by which it was so unjustly crippled. (Cheers.) The SECRETARY read the following letters from Mr. Hume, M.P.: " Burnley Hall, Norfolk, Dec 26, 1860. " Sir,—l have this day received your letter requesting that I will allow my name to be on the committee of the Amteiation fir the Total Repeal of the Excise Doty on Paper; and I request you will assure the committee that I comet entirely in the policy of that repeal, and am reedy to afford every emirates in my power toward. that meet important object. Before the receipt of your letter, I had written privately to Sir Charles Whd, calling his attention to the window tax and the tax on raper, as the two hest tales that ought to be removed ; but I have not had any answer hots biro as yet. In addition to the remota assigned in the resolutions of the 21st inst., for the repeal of the paper tax, i have sated to the Chancellor of the Exchequer thou importance of the repeal to the cause of education end anti - And instruction, towards which the total repeal of ex .is laws oe paper auuld be moat important. Whilst the onus' deem of the weill-iaformed persons in the country is now directed to remove ignorance, to Irwin crone, end to raise the moral and social condition of the masses of the people, by edgesti fa • and whilst the parliament is voting annuary 300,00d1. from the taxes towards the education and improvement of the people, it is an error and inconsistency, quite unpardonahle, to retain upon paper the heavy too now levieri, and thus to counteract the very object which the wisest policy of parliament has declared it necessary for tits public welfare, dc., to be f lowed. That reason alone ought to induce the House of Commons to repeal the tax upon paper; but, when all the other reasons stated in your resolutions, and also in a pamphlet this day published by Charles Knight, entitled the Case of the Authors as regards the Paper Duty,' are brought forward, lam sanguine of summa. If the committee shall be of opinion that my name as • committeeman would be useful to forward the obja t, I very willingly agree to their request; but as I cannot attend to the proceediegs of the committee, I do not with to incur coy responsibility as to expenses. I shall not be in London till the first week la February; but, when in London, shell cadially cooperate with the committee for the total repeal. " I remain, your obedient servant, JOSEPH Erma. "Yr. George Hu/gait, Secretary, rite." "Darnley Hall, Norfolk, Mb December, IMO. ft Sir,—l request you will state my regret that engage meets preclude my being in London to attend the meeting on Thuredey neat but that I entirely concur in the pro• pricy, the policy, and justice, of removing the excise duly tram paper, and giving that branch of nernulacture, and ell the others that are affected by the tax, the chance of fair competitition with the world. The entire repeal must be chit ined ; and the necessary publicity must be given to the eviis resulting to society from the tax, to assist as in prin. meat la demanding the repeal. "I remain, your obedient servant, " Jotting iirsta. "Mr. George Haggett, Beere:ary, ac.," Mr. .1. CLSSELL moved the first resolution, as follows : " That in the opinion of this meeting the duty on pacer le emphatically a Mx upon skill and industry, as it itICIWell the cost of so article of general consumption, and limits the field of production, thus interfering with the employment of the capital and labour engaged in a great va•isty of trades and occupations, slid affecting ler directly but most inju riously the interests of the public at large ; and that in its effects it is vexatious and netqual, necessarily creating de lays and difficulties is the way, both of the mannfarurer and the consumer."
