London-40, Cannon-street, E.C. (temporary) Lisbon-4, P. Rua Boa Vista This Company—formed for the purpose of establishing a line of steam service between England, Portugal, and the Brazils, and completing the essentiul link of communication between Milford Haven, the seaport of the Great Western and South Wales Railways, and Santos, Bahia, and Pernam buco, the seaports of the three important railways of the Brazils, has been incorporated by a Royal Charter from his M..jesty the King of Portugal. Thecommercial transactions between Great Britain, Portu gal, and the Brazilian Empire are of immense and increasing importance, as is shown by the annual trade returns. From 1850 to 1857 our exports of British manufactured goods to the Brazils increased from £2,544,937 to £5,447,566; and the pas senger traffic between Portugal and that empire, which is very great, is constantly and largely increasing, and walrilelabdeyvery much urthcr developed by the railways now in course of construction. The Brazilian ports send coffee, dye-wood, drugs, diamonds, silver, and other valuable products, t f o ee th ff i e s e a co n u n n u t a ry liy. ever year ; the Brazils, in exchange two thirds of which may be furnished by while we import 60,000,000 s. o for British manufactures.

In sanctioning the formation an d assuming the o t ffi t c h ia e l picoisnig tion of " Protector" of the Comp an y , his Mai y of Portugal fully recognis exists importance of the extensive and increasing trade that upon the line the have adopted. His Royal Hi chness the Duke of Oporto, his Majesty's brother , by accep tin g the President's chair, also gave expression to his opinion as to the importance of the undertaking. The statutes under which the Company has been incor porated give its vessels special advantages over those of other nations, and the Directors are assured that their ships sailing* under the Portuguese flag will be able to command a very large share of the passenger traffic existing . between Great Britain, Portugal, and the Brazils. The Directors have entered into a contract with the Por tuguese Government for a subsidy for the carriage of their mails to the Brazils, by which a payment is secured to the Company equal to about £15,000 per annum of our money. A contract has also been entered into with her Majesty's Post master-General, on highly favourable terms, for the convey ance of the British mails from this country to Portugal and the Br azils , and a subsidy will also be received from the Bra in 'Government for the conveyance of their mails , eq ual to about £15,000 a year. In addition to these contracts aready concluded, the Company have negotiations in progress which the Directors confidently anticipate will terminate satisfac torily, and in that case the Company will be in receipt of a gross sum of £85,000 a.year for postal service. The line was opened on the 3d of October last. The following is an extract from the Report of the Direc tors of the South Wales Railway to their Shareholders on the 20th Feb., 1800 : "The arrangements for through booking with the A. nglo- Luso-Brazilian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, which were adverted to at the last half-yearly meeting, have been brought into operation. One of the ships of the Com pany arrives at, and departs from, Milford Haven in each month. " Tne traffic in connexion with them has already become of material importance to this Company, and from information which the Directors have received, they believe that the undertaking itself bids fair to be a profitable one to its pro moters, and of permanent advantage to the South Wales Railway."

Horner, R.N., was yesterday appointed Additional Lieut. to the Fisgard, for surveying sery ice. which these foreign supplies will be directed—the one spot where the foreigner can come in absolutely free ; and when it is remembered, also, the immense area from which they draw their supplies of material, the c ffect in raising the continental price, so long as these prOhibitory laws exist, must be comparatively slight, w hil e th e e ff ec t o f an E ur op ean su pply of , paper directed upon England alone must press with 1 more than ordinary severity on the British maker have . --a process not ver y lik e l y t o rev i v if y th ose rura l mills which th e Ch ance ll or so poet i ca ll y describedas olie of l v the aims ofhis Budget. I fun reluctant to t res p ass f urt h er on your space,bit I ieanother point to get bring under your notice, exemplifying still further the pecttliarly happy position in which the English papermaker will be placed. The Americans are in as bad if not in a worse position than ourselves as regards the material for p ipermaking. They, like ourselves, have a demand out of proportion to the supply, and they are there fore very large buyers of material wherever they are permitted to purchase, and in their desire to obtain a supply they do not neglect freetrading England. The Americans are always buyers to some extent in this country. The high prices which have ranged in England for two or three years past have to some extent lessened their pur chases compared with some years past, but even now, at prices which were never higher, they are shipping rags from this country to America; and it is to this point, with reference to its effects upon us in the future, that I wish to direct your special attention. It has been said that the effect of a free import of foreign paper would be to equalise the price of material as between this country and the Con - iinent ; and no doubt the tendency would be in this direction, though I have shown that from the immense area from which foreign supplies of mate rial are drawn, supplemented by the present pro hibitory laws, the result must always be greatly in favour of the foreign maker; but there is no doubt that, as I before said, the natural tendency would be in that direction. But a new difficulty stares us in the face. If foreign supplies of paper come into England, and take the place of home-made paper, we might expect that as Englishproduction was curtailed our material would accumulate, and the price would rapidly recede ; and so it would if we were the only consumers; but the Americans are ready to take whatever we cannot use. They are buying now; and is it not fair to suppose that, as the price re cedes from the effect of a lessened consumption in England, our cousins will purchase all the more readily ? Thus we have to meet the whole brunt of a foreign competition with regard to paper, and to share our already insufficient supply of ma terial with the Americans. I have not as yet fulfilled my promise, partly; per haps, because in the present phase of the duty question I preferred to look before I leaped. " Voila tout !" As I have given my facts, I must dissent from the " Proprietor's" theory as to the supply of paper making material, as I am satisfied that this is prae tinily inexhaustible, and so soon as the incubus of the duty ceases to exist an abundant supply will come forward, and if I am not very much mistaken rags five years hence will be 20 per cent. elrcalKT than at present. The paper manufacturers must, however, march - with the times, and learn some thing more of the chemistry of their business than they know at present, as obviously nervous, strong, and virgin fibres will require a totally dissimilar method of treatment from that employed for an effete material like rags.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, B URROWS AND CO Wholesale Wine Mer chants, LIVERPOOL.

He was then prosecuted for bigamy, and imprisoned for the offence. Consequently enmity arose between the parties, and on the 23d December last, as the old man was returning home from his work about six o'clock in the evening, he was way laid by the prisoner, who knocked him down, and cut his throat. The old man got :up, but his assailant agaiu beat him on the head, and then left him. Prosecutor crawled back to his master's, and surgical assistance being promptly at hand, his life was saved. The wounds inflicted were on parts of the neck that might have caused death, but they were not cut deep enough to reach the main arteries or windpipe. Prisoner was apprehended at his 'own lodgings the same evening. He had met the old man's daughter after the attack, and had spoken to her. He was found guilty of the assault with intent to murder, and his lordship ordered sentence of death to be recorded.

CONTENTS. CLERKENWELL.—WiIIiam Bell, aged 40, described on the charge sheet as an engraver, re siding at North-hill, Highgate, was charged befoie Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and damaging a statue at the Belvidere Tavern, Pentonville, the pro perty of Mr. Joseph Briton, licensed victualler, and also with assaulting police constables Ryan, 514 N, and Groves, 441 A, in the execution of their duty. _ " Oh," then it is said, " when the duty is off, you will look out for some new material, some new fibres." To this I reply that scarcity and high prices have ever been accounted the incentives to discovery and invention, and, according to this rule, these new materials ought to have been here now, for w 9 have been suffering from scarcity and paying higher prices for some years than I ever experienced; and though you, by the reward which you offered for such a discovery some years ago, put the whole fibrous world into a fever, nothing has yet come of it, exceptint the intro duction of straw, and this is used only as a mat ter of necessity and from the high price of other materials. How, then, it can be expected that, with a foreign supply of paper and a corresponding depi ession of our material, these new materials will coine in passes my comprehension. If it means anything, it means that, whereas they did not come in at a high price, they will prefer to come in at a lower one; and it is not a little amusing to see men spouting at public meetings, telling us that they are ready to supply 10,000 tons of material, and that we persist in refusing it ; it is, in effect, saying that a hungry man refuses to eat when the food is placed before him. The question is not whether there are materials from which paper can be made which are not now used for the purpose, but whether they can be used to pay the maker ; and the fact of their not being used is conclusive on this point. All that I have written will be set down as a part of the old rag of protection—the old tale—" free trade except when it affects its own interest." To those who ride off on this hobby, and are, as usual,,alisposed to side it .to death, I would say, let them show the least similarity between the material of papermakers and any other raw pro duce as regards the laws of production, supply, and demand, and I will acknowledge myself worsted. Between the producer and consumer of all other raw materials there is a principle operating that will never fail. So long as the consumer bill pay a price that will give a profit on the production, the producer has every motive to furnish what is required. Hence demand creates supply. Is there a creature in existence who has any sym pathy with, or feels an interest in, the production of the material for papermakers ? Will the cot ton or flax spinner produce any more waste or refuse from his manufacture because we want it, or in consequence of any price we can offer for it ? Will the people throw off their garments any sooner because the paper mill gives . 2d. instead of id. per lb. ? Is it not manifest that the material we use is a refuse—that no one is interested in pro ducing it, but, on the contrary, all who do produce it do so involuntarily, against their will, and that their interest consists in, and their efforts ' are directed to, lessening rather than increasing the quantity ? And yet this refuse is by the abstract theorist placed in the category of raw materials along with cotton, corn, sugar, coffee, and all other articles which are reproducible to any extent with profit to the producer, as an article to which the free-trade theory is applicable, and subject to the influence of the laws of supply and demand. This, I think, is a fallacy. Now what the papermaker requires is not pro tection. We do not object to the repeal of the paper duty, nor to a free import of-paper ; but we want free access to the :. material of our foreig n compe titors, and we say, further, that to admit free paper from countries that prohibit access to their material is to subject us to a ruinous contest, which can only result in supplying this country with foreign paper and sending our material to supply the wants of the Americans. I will now sum up my case shortly. eotluh. consequencein t r i es where o fthey this The p per duty is to be repealed with the view of cheapeningTne import paper, duty b o u f t i w d e. per r e bn.o ist to to be be allowedrepealed, the price and where the drawback prohibit niroiodc:hlepii bboart pape r ihee o ae n sdemymx s sa t pit o tteoe c tmr k er tdi s :. aonfl o fr n ei tesah: h rela a fiysr n r h d mmt . ahalectf ice of our own material. The defendant, on 'Wednesday, was the worse for liquor, and entered the grounds of the above tavern, and before he could be removed he wilfully broke one of the statues in the gardens. The defendant did not pay the damage and was given into custody when he became very violent and kicked and knocked the constables about in a shameful manner, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was got to the station. Both constables said that the defendant, although drunk, kicked them purposely, and without provocation. The defendant also threw police-constable Groves on the pavement. The defendant did not deny the charge, and pleaded drunkenness as an excuse. Mr. Tyrwhitt could not allow such an excuse, and he ordered the defendant to pay 15s. damage, or fourteen days' imprisonment, and a fine of 10s. for assaulting each of the constables, or a months imprisonment. The defendant paid the money. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Beard, the solicitor, applied to Mr D'Eyncoui t for permission to mention a very painful matter with a view of legitimately obtaining the assistance of the newspaper press in reference to it. A young man, named Joseph Minett, 21 years of age, for some years in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway, had suddenly disappeared from his home and employment. His conduct was blame less, and, being a most estimable son, the parents were in tha most deepest anguish of mind respect ing his fate. Advertisements and bills offering a reward for any information respecting him had been unattended with the slightest success, and it was under these distressing circumstances that his father instructed him, Mr. Beard, to make the pre sent application to the court that the magistrate's concurrence might be obtained to its being inserted among the police matter, should the editors of ;the press kindly afford their acquiescence. Mr. TYF,yncourt expressed his regret at the de privation mentioned by Mr. Beard, and observed that it was a matter lying entirely at the present stage with the reporters—the invaluable aid of the press must be understood by all. Mr. Beard thanked the magistrate, and handed in a printed bill, in which the missing young man was mentioned as being 5 feet 6 or 7 inches in height, with a scar on his nose, fair complexion, wearing a double-breasted brown beaver overcoat with velvet collar, dark trousers, side spring high shoes, white and lavender woollen scarf hat, silver watch and chain, his linen was marked T. M., and he was last seen in Shoreditch on the 24th of February. SIGHT ANT) HE ARTNG.—SPECTACLES.— POWERFUL TELESCOPES. —OPERA, RACE, and PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. Messrs. S. and B.

Bury, Lancashire, March 6. Sir,—A letter from " One of the Proprietors of I:averham Mills" having appeared in your impres sion of to-day, in which my name is called in ques tion, I rely on your known impartiality to insert my reply to the facts therein stated. I must premise that a cipher has been erroneously added to the quantity of raw material I stated at St. Martin's-hall I was in a position to offer to the trade. The figures should be 10,000 not 100,000 tons. • I have nothing to do with the peculiar qualifica tions that fitted the " Proprietor" for his post as " referee," or with the conclusicn at which he arrived. Tredgold, the eminent engineer, re marked that "an ounce of fact was worth a ton of theory." It is a fact that for many months past I have turned out some tons of printing paper weekly made entirely from the " Spanish grass" which the " Proprietor" condemns as " worthless." Not only is this paper made, but as readily sold, costing less than a similar paper from rags, and yielding a good profit. It is also an accepted fact that small and desultory experiments are not calculated to obtain a successful result in any branch of manu facture, even if " costly," and that one man may succeed where many others have completely failed. The logic of the " Proprietor', also is peculiar ; because I not executed his order for "half stuff," crgo, I am unable to supply the trade with raw material. _ The story of the half-ton is simply and family told. Some time ago I supp li e d t h e fi rm at Taverham with some of this fibre in the raw state ; they could not make anything of it. In fact, after their costly experiments, they " pro nounced it worthless." 41 One of the Proprietors," THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1860. . - CONTRACT FOR BALTIC HEMP.

A DOG'3 TALE.—The following interesting trait of sagacity in the canine race has been given us from an authentic source--A brother of Mr. Esler, of the Johnson Reef, a short time since left the district, and went over land to Adelaide, taking with him a dog belonging t ease, to his brother. On arriving there , the dog appeared he determined to see whether he would return, and accord ingly wrote a letter to his brother, and enclosing it in a handkerchief, tied it to the neck of the deg, which then started. A letter was then posted tothe brother here, with the somewhat laconic contents of—" Dear Brother, — Ar rived here safely. For further particulars see dog." This was was, of course, perfectly unintelligible to Mr. Esler till the day after receiving the letter per post the four-footed messenger arrived with his "further particulars" round his neck. After his lonely journey of 600 miles, he did not ap pear much fatigued, but seemed overjoyed at regaining his own, toymagaia.—Bouligo Advertiser, 211. E NAVY, LAUNCH OF = THE HOWE. The • launch of the Howe was most successfully effected from No. 2 shed at Pembroke dockyard on Wednesda:y last. Froth an early hour in the morn ing the sightseers poured in from the surrounding country. At•a few minutes before six o'clock Miss Ramsay, daughter of Gen. Ramsay, niece to Capt. George Ramsay,. C. 8., Captain-Superintendent of Pembroke dockyard, came forward, and, taking the gaily 'decorated bottle that hung at the vessel's bow, 'dashed it against the stem, and the christen ing of the Howe was an accomplished fact. At 10 minutes past six o'clock p.m. just three minutes from the time the dogshores had been knocked away, the Howe moved off, and, gliding grandly down the greased ways, gathering speed as she went, reached the water amid enthusiastic cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, while the dockyard band played " Rule Britannia." As soon as she had gained a sufficient offing she was brought up , and the largest line-of-battle ship in her Majesty's navy swung to her anchor for the first time. The Howe was designed by Rear-Admiral' Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.B. Controller of the Navy. She was laid down in IVlarch, 1856, and, owing to the press of work in all the royal dockyards at that period, consequent on the. Russian war, she was partly framed by superannuated shipwrights, re employed for the occasion. She is a very beauti ful model, and has been completed under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Henry Cradock, the present Master-Shipwriglit. Her figurehead is a three-quarter length figure of Admiral Lord Howe, in the old naval' uniform, and is about 15 feet_high. Her principallimensions are as follows : Length over all, 301 ft. lin. ' • length between per pendiculars, 260 ft..; length of keel for tonnage, 220 ft.; breadth, extreme, 61ft. ; breadth for. ton nage, 60ft. 2in. ; breadth, moulded, 59ft. 4in. ; depth of hold, 26ft. 4in.; depth from taffrail to under side of keel. 65ft. 9in.; depth from top of figure-head to keel, 61ft. 9in.; burden in tons of ship, 3,594; bur den in tons of engine-room, 1,842; burden in tons of builder's measurement, 4,236; load draught of water when ready for sea, afore 24ft. 9in. ; ditto, abaft, about 251 t. Bin. ; weight of hull wnen launched, about 3,500 tons. Her armament will be as under : Lower deck 32 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., 9ft. long. Middle 30 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., Oft. long. Main 32 32-pounders, 68 cwt., 9ft. 6in. long. Upper 26 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 9ft. long. Ditto 1 6S-pounder pivot, 95 cwt., 10 ft. long. T0ta1..., 121 Her complement of officers and men will be 1,130. Her engines are of 1,000 horse power, and are made by Messrs. Penn and Son, of Greenwich. Her Majesty's Royal paddle yacht Osborne, Master-Commander Bower, has been taken into the steam basin at Portsmouth for the purpose of hav ing her old boilers ,taken out, and receiving new ones fitted with superheating steam apparatus. The crew of the Euryalus, 51, screw, Captain J. W. Tarleton, C. 8., were paid down in the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and granted 14 days' leave ashore. The Nelson, 91, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has again been placed under the steam crane to complete receiving her machinery. Orders have been received at Chatham for the steam floating - battery Trusty, 14, which was so severely injured from the spherical shots from the Armstrong guns during the recent experiments, to be taken into dock to be thoroughly repaired and her defects made good. Several of her plates, which are of immense thickness, were completely riddled by the shots, some of which went com pletely through the sides of the vessel, the wrought iron plates being fractured wherever they were struck by a shot. In consequence of the compara tively little resistance presented by these iron plated floating batteries, no more vessels of that class are to be constructed. Her Majesty's paddlewheel transport Dee, Master-Commander Thomas Pullen, was yesterday hauled out of the steam basin at Woolwich, and proceeded to Portsmouth, laden with a heavy cargo, consisting of boilers for the Prince of Wales, steam machinery for the Nelson, Victoria, Sutlej, Vulcan, and some small gear for the Royal yacht the Vic toria and Albert. The Torch steam gun-vessel, built by Messrs. Green for the Admiralty, has been taken into the fourth dock at Chatham to be surveyed. The line-of-battle screw steamer Atlas, 91, build ing at Chatham, has several hundred shipwrights employed on her, in order that she may be brought forward for launching. The whole of the caulkers of the establishment are engaged caulking her. The sister vessel Bulwark, 91, is also making great progress. The gunboat Biter, tender to the coast-guardship Blenheim, 60, Capt. F. Scott, C,8., at Portland, ar rived on Tuesday at Plymouth. She is to be docked and repaired. The screw steamship- Conqueror, 101, Captain Sotheby, C. 8., sailed from Plymouth on Tuesday to join the squadron. The screw steam-sloop Mutine, 17, Commander William Graham, from Portland, arrived in Ply mouth Sound on Wednesday evening. John Williams (1), belonging to her Majesty' s ship Trafalgar, was tried by court-martial at Ply mouth on Wedn es d ay f or re f us ing on the Ist o f March to obey th e or d ers o f J o hn Fawkes, addi tional boatswain, an d f or s t r iki ng William Ray field, leading seaman, a n d G eorge G re en, captain of the foretop. The prison er pl ea d e d g uilty, and was sen tenced to receive 48 l as h es , b e imprisoned twelve months, and be - dismi sse d f ro m her Majesty's ser vice. On Monday last the master discovered that some evil-disposed person had injured a quantity of new rope on board the screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. A. P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., now under repair in the basin at ICeyham steam yard, Devonport. The in jured rope, which is valued at over £3OO, included a sheet or stream cable, which is hacked in several places, in one of which two strands are cut through, and a hawser (of about two or three inches), which has been out in a similar way. An axe was found near. The ship is for the present in the hands of the dockyard artisans, who are at work on board in all directions. The rope is on the orlop deck, where candles are used. It is coiled within some square wooden railwork, on the port side forward. There is just ,space enough between the rails and the side of the ship for people to pass, and, as very little daylight can reach the place, it affords great facility for the perpetration of such a mischievous act. Ex cepting the possible detention of the ship, there appears no imaginary motive for its commission. Up to Wednesday evening there was no clue to the discovery of the offender. Port-Admiral Sir B. Reynolds has been on board and examined the damaged rope. It is expected that the Nile will be ready for sea by the sth of April, and it is at pre sent arranged that she shall be at the Island of Bermuda by the 10th of May, to meet the Emerald, and receive Rear-Admiral Sir Alex. Milne, K.C.8., who will go in her to Halifax, where she will re main a few days, and then proceed to Quebec, to be in attendance on his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales during his visit to Canada. Commander Mackenzie, of the Nile, whose leg was broken some time since at Devonport dockyard when rendering voluntary assistance to his boat's crew, continues in the Royal Naval Hospital, Stone house. He is gradually recovering, and will, it is expected, be well enough to join his ship before she sails for her station. For the future all vessels employed for the con veyance of troops from port to port in the United Kingdom or Ireland are to be furnished with boats fitted with Clifford's or Kynaston's loi.ering ap paratus. The tide at high water yesterday at Portsmouth did not reach the average height of ordinary spring tides, and was considerably less than the tide of the previous night. This was, no doubt, owing to the wind, it having blown excessively hard the greater part of the morning from N.N.E. to N.N.W. The day previous it blew a hard gale from N.E., and both these causes combined must have greatly checked the flow of the tide into Portsmouth har bour. Each tide has, however, run off extremely low, a considerable portion of " Hamilton's Bank" being uncovered at low water. From the position and force of the wind it must have produced a groat rise of tide al ong the coast of France in the Chan nel, as well as upon our own northern coasts. On the 7th the barometer stood, at ,9 a.m., 30.10; at 5.30 p.m., 30.35; blowing a heavy gale the whole day from the N.E., the air intensely cold. Yester day the barometer noted, at 9 a.m., 30.36 5.30 p.m., 30.28 ; a s t rong N .N.E. to N.N.W. breeze, but not blowing so hard, nor the air so cold, as the day previous (the 7th).

The following letters have been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir, —I am not " one of those who are called growers of hops," neither am I a cutter of corks, but I belong nevertheless to one of those " alarmed and timorous interests" upon which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has seized in the pursuit of " high ideals," and which he seems determined to sacrifice, not so much for the benefit of the country, as to have it believed that his Budget was conceived under the influence of inspired truth. I am a papermaker, and, though as a trade we may not rank among the great interests of the country, yet in an humble way we have subserved a useful purpose ; and, though under extreme cir cumstances it might be, justifiable to annihilate a part for the benefit of the whole, the necessity for such an extreme course should be made apparent, and before this is clear I claim to be heard. For a great many years, in addition to the duties incident to our trade, we have had the duty im posed upon us of collecting a portion of the national revenue. From the time of Queen Anne to the present day the papermaker has been made the medium of col lecting from the public an Excise duty on paper, sometimes different in amount, but for many years past lid. per lb., and since the Russian war lid. and 5 per cent., has been the duty charged upon every pound of paper, and the amount now realised from this source is about one million and a quarter. This duty is now to be abolished, and, as it was put on without our consent, and from motives of public policy, if from motives of public policy-it is thought right to decree its extinction, we have nothing to say by way of objection, and indivi dually I have no desire to do so, having for many years advocated its removal; but, though, we may not question the expediency of the act itself, I think we are entitled to ask that it should be done ou principles of justice, and that the change should be effected with as little injury to us as possible. We say that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, having taken the honey, has no right to kick the hive over and destroy the bees ; and my object is to show that in the course he is adopting he is inflicting a most gratuitous wrong, such as can be defended on no principle but that of— "The good old plan, That he should take who has the power,' And he should keep who can." Mr. Gladstone has informed us that after a cer tain day in July the Excise duty on paper shall cease, but he tells us at the same time that he will not allow us any drawbacks upon our stocks on hand. Anybody who has ever been in one of the ware houses of a London wholesale stationer will be able to form some idea of the magnitude of the stocks which are required to conduct a business of any extent, but he will not be able to form the remotest notion of the variety of weights, size, colour, and quality of which that stock consists, all neces sary to meet the ever-varying and contingent wants of the consumer. Upon every pound of this stock 13d. and 5 per cent. has been paid in Excise duty, and the propor tion which the duty bears to the whole value of the stock, taking all qualities into account, will be 25 per pent. ; so that a papermaker or stationer hold• ing £20,000 of stock will be made to pay a penalty of £5,000. It is of no use to say that the future price or paper will not be reduced to this extent. Sooner or later it must be so ; otherwise what becomes of the policy which proposes to sacrifice so large an amount of revenue? If this be not the result, what be comes of those eloquent invectives which have been hurled at this impost as obstructive of everything that is good, by impeding the cause of education, cramping the energies of a rising cheap press, and ruining deserving publishers, who are intent upon the benevolent object of educating the masses ? If I am able to understand my own language, the reeduction of the price of paper has been the one end and aim of Mr. Milner Gibson, and those who have been associated with him, in their efforts to obtain the removal of this " last of the taxes on knowledge." Whether in its incidence it will have all the effect Mr. Gibson prognosticates upon the moral condition of the people—whether they will obtain their literature any cheaper, is a question I cannot answer, but it is clear to my mind that the papermaker will not be allowed to put .the duty into his pocket. Such being the case, I ask any man endowed with ordinary perception of right and wrong if such a proceeding as that of with holding the drawback on stocks on hand can b e defended. Is it not, I ask, confiscation —down right Why are le a w the r n i e g h fa t eltwho robbery in collecting this duty, now that it is d eemed right to put an end to it on grounds of public policy— why are we to have a forced contribution levied upon us? If the change is for the public advan tage, who so fit to pay for it as those for whose benefit the change is made ? And as though this were not sufficient to make us remember Mr. Gladstone in our prayers, he pro poses to abolish the import duty of ld. per lb. on foreign paper, although by the action of the prohi bitory laws over almost the whole of Europe the material from which this paper is made is nearly half the price of that of the English papermaker. Mr. Gladstone has had it pointed out to him that German paper is now coming into this country pay ing ld. import duty, mad at a price low er t han it can be made for in this country ; and in the face of this fact he proposes to remit this id. in favour of the foreigner, who, by prohibitory laws as regards the export of the material, and a comparatively small demand arising out of the restrictions on the press, enjoys the e xclusive possession of material, and in such abundance as to enable him to pur chase it at something. like half the cost of our own. But it will be said this state of things can only be temporary; the effect of an English demand for p a per will have the effect of raising the price on the Continent and depressing it in England. Naturally this is the effect to be anticipated; but when it is remembered that England is the one country to me. read a arsday Lts and 'ere in wheat oration rather doing. rers to -2s ad •eadily, s to Us s to 43s to 41s met a , 415 to to 40s ; s to 345 s to 405 . : —Red rley 163 supply.

A cold-blooded murder was perpetrated at a place called Walkeringham, about f A our miles from Gainsborough, on Tuesday nig ht. d es ot ea l t v tl a e lk jo e b ri b n e g r . , named Charles Spencer, who r es ides h an am d , left had Walkerithbe e n t o Ferry,Gainsborough crossing the Tthraotntd,aoyn, his way home, at twenty m inutes to eleven p.m. He had been stopping fora a s horttime at the Ferry house, Walkerith, and it and washa t h ere ihtniilset possession ‘N t, • io time i i e t h notes, e a payment thatbee n he e a paid d £ i 1 n 0 considerably alldd largerto took 0 oakmo place,un t. t w A o t individuals, named Joh s n h il F oe e s e n l t n on, blac ksmith and landlord. of the Three and James Fenton, labourer, Wa n lierh a igh e a r m m tno re: l h ation, however, to John Fenton) were in the public house. In crossing the Trent the murdered man was accompanied by the two individuals named and another individual, a Mr. Anderson. As soon as the boat reached the Notts side of the river, the two Fentons walked on towards Walkeringham, about one mile distant, leaving Spencer talking with Mr. Anderson, who lives near the banks of the river. Nothing more can be ascertained as to what took place; but the body of Mr. Spencer was found next mornidg in a dyke, only about 40 yards from his own residence. The body presented a truly horrible spectacle ; the head was almost com pletely severed from the body, there being two ter rible gashes on each side of the neck, only a little of the flesh in front and a little behind remaining. A pool of blood was discovered on the road adjoining the dyke, beside which two discharged pistols were found. It is very evident, from the whole of the circumstances we have been able to gather, that the murderer had been lying in wait for his in tended victim. It appears as if he had taken up his position against the old barn which the de ceased, to reach home, would have to pass. Before deceased made his appearance, it would seem as if the pistols were fired, the report of which alarmed the village schoolmaster, who immediately,rGo d 's got up and looked out of the window , at which time, it is said, he heard some one exclaim , "For what are you going to do ?" The moon was shining splendidly at the time, but he saw nobody in the road, and therefore did not think it necessary to take any further notice of the matter. The shots failed, it would appear, t o take thei r intended effect, and the murderer then seems . ceeded to attack his victim with some t° weapon, with which he made formidable e id p ab ro ce have h d:e s sc b r e ib en ed, cutting muffler rou nd deceasedtahkaedn.right the fearful thrnug gashes a t h i w ek e Fen ton committing the horrible Were fou n upond caps t his neck.
