T HE WORKS of WILLIAM HOGARTH, from the ORIGINAL PLATES, purchased by the present Proprietors of the late Alderman Boydell, and now fully restored by eminent engravers ; with the addition of many subjects which were not in that Collection. To which are prefixed, A BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY of the GENIUS and PRO DUCTIONS of HOGARTH, and Explanations of the Subjects of the Plates. By JOHN NICHOLS, Esq., F. S.A. The Proprietors being desirous of placing Genuine Prints of Hogarth in the hands of all his admirers, have determined to pub lish this Edition at less than half the price of the former, and yet more complete, as Additional Plates will be given. The Publishers pledge themselves that the impressions of the Plates shall be clear and perfect ; as they are determined not to print more copies than can be produced in good order, however large the demand may be for this Edition : but as the very low terms may induce a large subscription, the earliest names received will not only secure copies of the Work, but will of course also have the best impressions. The subscription must be closed, and the public shall have due notice of it, when the limited impression now printing is exhausted. After this Edition it can hardly be expected that another will ever be pub lished from the Plates engraved by the great Painter himself. The subscriptions will be numbered as received, and the impressions de livered accordingly. wir The Publishers recommend gentlemen to forward their names through their respective booksellers as soon as they deter mine to subscribe, that they may be placed on the London List without delay, and secure an early number. • • A Portfolio constructed on a new plan, is preparing, to preserve the Numbers in the course of publication, at a moderate price to Subscribers.

Mr. GoDsoN made application that certain attorneys of that Court, whose names he would not then mention, should appear to make answer to an affidavit which he held, and which charged them with wrongfully withholding the writ of the possession of a house of which their own client (Lord) was the owner. They had been employed by Lord, who resided occasionally at Brighton, to issue an ejectment on the tenant ; and, after doing so, they had endeavoured to keep the writ of possession in their own custody ; their mo tive for such proceeding being that they were not only the attorneys of Lord, but of his tenant and his tenant's as signees, he having become bankrupt, thus acting at one and the same time in a threefold and contrary capacity. Rule granted to refer the case to the Prothonotary of the Court. LRILIE V. GUTHRIE. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS appeared to support the demur rer, which had been pleaded in this case, and Sir W. FoL LETT for the replication. This was an action brought by the assignees of a ship owner, of the name of Cumberlege, to recover the sum of 2,3841., being the freightage of the ship Neptune, trading between London and the East Indies, which freightage had been assigned over to the defendant by Cumberlege, as a security for a debt of upwards of 2001. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS contended that the future earn ings of a vessel could not constitute a valid and legal as signment. Sir WILLIAM FOLLITT contended, on the other side, that the assignment was perfectly just and equitable, and that under all the circumstances, the action was not main tainable. The COURT this morning gave judgment in this case in favour of the defendant. If the freightage had amounted to more than the sum originally du• to the plaintiff, plaintiff might have maintained an action for the recovery of the surplus. AMERICAN THEATRICALS.—Sheridan Knowles, had a splendid benefit at the Park Theatre. A committee of gentlemen had previously been formed to conduct the ar rangements, and the balance handed over to Mr. Knowles, after paying all expenses, amounted to the large sum of 3,054 dollars, being nearly 7001. sterling. The committee passed a number of resolutions before separating, complimentary to Mr. Knowles, and requesting . the honour of his company to a public dinner previous to his departure for England. Mr. Power had returned from New Orleans to New York, and wes about to re-appear in the latter city.. —New York Paper, April 14. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1835. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

May 12, and 28, at MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of last evening.) SUGAR.—There is no new feature in the Sugar market this week. The few arrivals of the new crop have gone off with much briskness at very full market rates, and the supply is still quite inadequate to the extensive demand and likely to con tinue so, as in place of the extensive arrivals at this season last year, we shall not have the usual supplies for two or three weeks to come. The estimated sales of West India Sugar for this week are about 2,000 hhds. and trs. at a general advance of 6d. per cwt. since this day week. In the Refined trade there have been extensive buyers, particularly of Crashed. The sales are 6d. higher, fine quality 345. and at the long price 755. The quantity of goods this afternoon is still more limited than formerly, there are considerable buyers at market but they can not be supplied, and there are no prospects of a better sup ply for several weeks to come, the contracts for forward de livery continue to be offered freely. MAURITIUS.—The Mauritius Sugars lately brought to market including last Friday, amounting to above 20,000 bags have gone off with much animation on account of the scarcity of West India Sugars at prices 6d. to Is. per cwt. dearer. By public sale this day 4158 bags Mauritius Sugar all sold with great briskness, fully Is. per cwt. higher than the last public sale, grey 535. a 575., yellow 545. a 58s. 6d. EAST INDIA.—The sales of East India Sugars are confined to small parcels of Java which went off rather lower. By public sale this day 100 bags 354 baskets and other packages Java sold heavily about former rates. FOREIGN.—By public sale 320 boxes Havannah were brought forward and sold at full market prices, whites good quality, mid. to very good 335. a 345. 6d., mid. to fine yellow 28s. a 295. The sales by private contract are, mid. yellow at 285., and whites 335. a 345. Correa.-We stated that the East India and Foreign de scriptions were rather higher, and held with much firmness, the following are the sales of this week, which are at a considerable improvement in the prices, 150 bags coloury Brazil at 565. ; a cargo of St. Domingo, 2,800 bags deliverable at Leghorn, 535. ; 500 bags ord. to fine ord., even Batavia, 52e. a 575. ; 488 bags common Sumatra, 396. 6d. a 41s. ; 111 bags Ceylon, 555. 6d. a 565. 6d. Parcels of the new crop of the British Welt India Plantations have been brought to market, the prices are Ss. a ss. per cwt. higher, but it is for the pre sent scarcely a fair criterion of the market, as the purchases were for the urgent demand for the home consumption. Ja maica good ord. to mid. sorts, 90s. a 1075., the finer taken in, 110 s. a 120 s. ; fine ord. to mid. Berbice, 98s. 6d. a 100 s. ; good mid. Demerara, 105 s. 6d. a 106 s. By public sale this day, 867 bags East India sold 2s. a 3s. per cwt. higher; Su matra taken for home consumption, 425. 6d. a 445. 6d. ; Ba tavia, 58s. 6d. ; damaged Ceylon, but of fine quality, 58s. a 595. ; also, 34 casks Jamaica, mid. to good mid., 101 s. a 110 s., the latter rather lower. _ _ COCOA.—By public sale this day, 217 bags Brazil Cocoa, 275. 6d. a 28s. 6d. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-...The Rum market con tinues firm on account of the small stock compared with last year's supply, and the few parcels left in the importers' hands there are some purchases reported for export, particularly for Africa at 2s. 2d. under proofs on board. Brandy is heavy, notwithstanding the repeated reports respecting the damage done to the vines by the frost. Geneva is neglected, pale still about 2s. TALLovr.—There is a complete change in the Tallow market, the great Russian houses are not only the holders of the greater proportion of the Tallow here, but they continue buyers for arrival to any extent, but there are now no sellers for arrival at 395. or 395. 6d., the nominal price for parcels on the spot is 385., but as nearly all the stock is held by the Rus sians, who will not Pell under 425., no great quantity could be purchased under that rate, the prices may therefore be stated nominal and uncertain. TEA.—The Tea trade continues in the same convulsed state which we have lately reported, the few parcels resold by pri vate contract of the late India House sales are at a great dis count, but such is the depression of the market, that the buyers purchase on their own terms, but they generally prefer the Teas of the new import, being of as good quality and much lower in price. NITRATE or SODA.—In Nitrate of Soda there are no sales reported. Sricss.—The sales of Cassia Lignea about 1,700 packages have gone off heavily 61s. a 635., Pepper a shade lower for the black, the white rather higher 11fd. a 151 d. This day's public sale 796 chests Cassia went off heavily 510 s. a 625. 6d. Rics.—Rice is nearly unsaleable. COTTON.—The Sales are considerable, the late advance is fully maintained, the purchases are 2010 Surat ord. to fine 7d. a 9d. ; 40 Madras fair to fine fid. a 94d.i 120 Boweds mid. good to mid. good fair 104 d. a 11d. ; 50 Paras fair 12d. SILK.—The market is steady. Some of the recent im portations from China of Tsatlee Silk have been sold at 19s. a 19s. 6d. WooL.—There is little alteration in Wool since the sales. Large arrivals are reported from New South Wales this week. SALTPETRE.—The sales early in the week, 2 3 361 bags sold 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower ; good quality, 7-4- refraction, 265. ; good rough common Madras, 15} to 161 refraction, 245. a 245. 6d. By public sale this day, 1,210 bags Saltpetre, 7i to 9 refraction, taken in 255. a 255. 6d. ; not refracted, 255. 6d. a 275. INDlGo.—There are rather more inquiries for Indigo, and the reports are—there are considerable orders in town, but they are so limited as to price, that they cannot be at present executed, as the offers are 2d. per lb. under the present prices. We are not aware of any actual sales. FRUIT.—At the public sale of Currants this week, damaged Patras sold 645. a 655. ; sound taken in, 665. ; damaged Zante sold At 635. ; sound taken in at 645.

The Stewards of the Paragon Benefit Society, held at the Coach and Horses, Noble -street, attended before Al dermen KELLY and LAlNsolg, to answer the complaint of T. Warren., the keeper of a beer-shop, for excluding him without ,just cause. Mr. Humphreys stated the case for the complainant. The Stewards, in justification, alleged that the com plainant had infringed the rules by working at his calling while he was receiving the sick allowance of 18s. per week. In proof of this two witnesses were called, who, at the desire of the Stewards, had called in at the beer-shop, and asked for some bread and cheese and beer. The wife cut the bread and cheese and drew the beer, but the husband (the complainant) handed it from the bar to the table, and took the money. The Stewards said they paid him the sick money that he might rest and recover his health, and not to assist in his business. Mr. Humphreys said he was not doing any thing likely to retard his recovery, and called a witness to show that he was not pursuing his ordinary calling, which was that of collecting money. He was generally so employed four days a week, at 4s. a day. Mr. Alderman KELLY asked how long he bad belonged to the Society P---The complainant said 16 years. The MAGISTRATES concurred in opinion that he was not following his calling, and ordered that be should be rein stated. The Stewards said they should resist the order, as the society had excluded another beer-shop keeper on the same grounds. Mr. Miller, the overseer's assistant for so much of St. Sepulchre's parish as lies within the city, applied to pass a young woman with an infant, to that part of the parish which lies in Middlesex. Mr. Miller said he was put to the expense of removing, and giving 21 days' notice, &c., frivolously and vexatiously by the overseers of the out-part, who, though the young woman's settlement was unques tionable, her husband having died in the workhouse, and she having received regular weekly relief, yet required that she should be formally passed to them. Mr. Alderman KELLY said the folly of some parish officers was to be lamented, but they could not be indicted for being foolish. The pass was signed. PRICE 7D. BOW-STREET. Thursday Robert Oliver, a very genteelly-dressed young man, was finally examined on the charge of embezzling and secreting a letter containing a sovereign, addressed to Miss Mary Anne Spong, 13, Bryanstone-street, Bryanstone square, he being at the time a letter-carrier in the General Post-office of Great Britain. Mr. Frederick Spong, the father of Miss Spong, is a nurseryman at Kilkenny, and on the 15th of February wrote a letter to his daughter, in which he enclosed a sove reign. His wife wrote a letter at the same time, in which witness's letter was inclosed, and the two were put into a third letter written by a friend, and addressed to a gentle man named Magrath, in London. Witness inclosed the whole packet in an envelope, addressed to the Marquis of Ormond, and delivered the packet to his son, now present. Mr. Spong, jun., received the packet from his father, and, after calling at an apothecary's shop to get it weighed, put it in at the Post-office in the same state in which he had received it. Sir F. ROE—Did it weigh an ounce ? Witness-.—Not quite, but very near. Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-office, should have thought that three letters, an envelope, and a sovereign would have weighed more than one ounce. It must have been a narrow escape from the payment of postage for the packet, and Mr. Spong was lucky.—(Laughter.) The prisoner said nothing more than upon his former examination, and was fully committed for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Elizabeth Rouse and Margaret Donovan, well -looking girls, about 18 years of age, and John Egan, aged 19, were brought before Mr. LAING for final exami nation, charged by Thomas Griffiths, a Welchman, the two former with having robbed him of 1271. in notes and sove reigns, a suit of clothes, a hat, and a silver watch, chain, and seals ; and the latter with having received the property, knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor stated that he was a cattle-dealer. On the 10th of April he arrived in London, having saved 1271. at his business, in Carmarthenshire, with which ha intended purchasing a milk-walk, &c. At about 11 o'clock at night he was passing along High-street, St. Giles's, when he was accosted by the female prisoners, who induced him to ac company them to a lodging-house in Church -street, St. Giles's, where he undressed himself and went to bed. At about one o'clock in the morning he awoke, and found him self alone, and the prisoners had robbed him of his watch, the whole of his clothes, and money. He made an alarm, and police-constable Clements took him to the station house, where he received some temporary apparel. He positively identified the female prisoners. Inspector Oakley, of E division, stated that he received a description of the women, and, on information, he pro ceeded with Ford and Clements to No. 8, Church -court, Westminster, where they apprehended the whole of the prisoners, who were dressed in new clothes. Egan made an attempt to escape, but he was secured. They found nine sovereigns in his possession ; and five sovereigns on Rouse, who confessed that they had committed the robbery, and the clothes which they had on were bought with the " Welchman's" money. Their old clothes were found in Egan's room, where they all lived together. The prisoners said nothing, and they were fully com mitted for trial. Q UEEN- SQ UARE. A very gentlemanly-looking middle-aged man, who gave his name James Mathews, was charged with an assault on John Constable, a policeman of the L division, No. 43. The police-constable stated that on Thursday evening, about half-past nine o'clock, he was on duty in the West minster-road, and observed the defendant, who was greatly intoxicated, staggering towards the bridge, with several young thieves around him. Seeing that he was a respect able man, wearing a watch and seals, witness went up to his protection to prevent his being robbed, and offered to see him over the bridge, but lie instantly turned round, and seizing bold of witness's collar, ejaculated, " I'll rid the country of all such vagabonds as you," and struck him a violent blow in the face. Witness expostulated with him, but he became more turbulent, and seizing hold of his coat-skirts, tore his coat right up the middle. Another constable came up, and he was then, after a great resist ance, taken to the station-house. Mr. WHITE--I see you are a very respectable man, Mr. Mathews. What have you to say ? Mr. Mathews— I am sure your Worships will not doubt my respectability for a moment. I reside at— But what have you to say to the charge, Sir ?—Why, I don't see what I can say, after what the policeman has stated. I admit being in liquor ; but as to any thing fur ther, I know nothing of it. Mr. WHITE, after consulting with his colleague, Mr. BURRELL, said, " Well, Sir, we will be as lenient as pos sible. You must pay a fine of 205., besides the damage done to the policeman's coat, and that we shall put as low as 2s. 6d. Mr. Mathews—l am satisfied, your Worships ; there's the money—(handing 1/. 2s. 6d. to the , clerk.) The defendant was then allowed to depart. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A young man, named Thomas Edmead, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT, charged by Captain Benja min Francis Dalton Wilson, of the 35th Regiment, with robbing him of a purse, containing four 5/. notes, four sove reigns, and a half-sovereign. The Captain stated that yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, he was walking along Pall-mall, in company with another gentleman, when he suddenly felt a twitch of his coat-pocket, and on turning round immediately he saw the prisoner close to him with his purse, containing the above property in his hand. He immediately laid hold of him, and he said he hoped he would let him go. . A gentleman who was in company with Captain Wilson corroborated his statement. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say re plied, that he should reserve his defence until another oc casion. He was then fully committed to Newgate for trial. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, a man named Roger:, dressed like a working mechanic, was brought before Mr. JEREMY, charged with stripping the lead off the front part of an uninhabited house, on Chester-terrace. James Keen, a master shoemaker in Blackfriars-road, stated that, having the care of a house, at present unte nanted, he was informed that morning that a man in a working dress was busily engaged in stripping the lead off the fascia over the shop. He immediately repaired to Chester-terrace, and there saw the prisoner standing on a ladder pl ace d aga i ns t the front of the house, and empoyed in cutting away the whole of the lead over the shop front. ii ...deposited Itity , !akiCtutefi . i'vliSr from the - . d .j. ; same part of the premises. When the prieoner was ques tioned as to by whom he was employed to sitipijke houso of the lead, he said that a Mr. Monk, of WeitrnitisteMbaa set him to work, but he subsequently admitted thlif be coin- 74. mitted the offence from necessity ; and further.s4l,t)iat /1 had procured the wheelbarrow and the ladder to\getAit-tts / lead by stealth, from some premises in the neighlkurhAed: The complainant, who used several high flown terms in giving his statement of the robbery, summed up his aocount with the following figures of speech, which created much laughter in the office :—" It was (said he) the most bold faced and impudent robbery imaginable, and everything seemed as if they dropped down from the clouds to propi tiate the circumstances." _ _ _ The prisoner, who did not deny the offence before tho Magistrate, was fully committed. Win. Griffin, one of those beggars who infest the neigh bourhood of the theatres, was charged under the following circumstances : A Mr. Preston stated that on leaving the Surrey Theatre on the preceding night he was followed up by the prisoner, who importuned him for charity, keeping close up alongside of him as he went on. The complainant tried to get rid of him, but nothing would shake off the fellow, who finding that he had no cance of getting alms, then attempted to pick his pocket. Mr. Preston then used his stick, when two other fellows, who, no doubt, were in league with the prisoner, came up to take his part, but seeing a policeman approach, they took to their heels. The prisoner was secured. The prisoner was committed for a month to the treadmill. The drivers of several omnibuses and hackney-coaches, who were summoned at the instance of the L division of police were fined for obstructing the road in front of Astley's Theatre. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, a very numerous and respectable deputation, headed by Dr. Birkbeek, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing street, with a view to the repeal of the Stamp-duty upon Newspapers. There were present Dr. Southwood Smith, Dr. Fellowes, George Grote, Esq., Dr. Bowring, Mr. Charle,s Knight, Mr. Hume, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Joseph Travers, Mr. Place, Messrs. Matthew Hill, Rowland Hill, Hickson, Craik,Wil son, Wood, and several other gentlemen. Dr. BIRKBECK stated the object of the deputation, and dwelt at considerable length on the necessity and impor tance of diffusing informatian among the people. The newspaper, he said, was the great instrument of civilization. It had been asserted by high ecclesiastical authority, that the people had nothing to do with the laws but to obey them. Upon that principle, avowedly, in 1796 the four penny stamp was laid upon newspapers. In the present day there were few who would maintain such an opinion ; yet what was the fact ?—while upwards of two hundred and eighty Acts of Parliament were sometimes passed in a single session, the great body of the people were ex cluded from all knowledge of the proceedings of the Legis lature. No account of the manner in which the laws are administered, no police intelligence, no information re specting passing events, could be published in a form accessible to a poor man, without a -violation of the laws. This state of things had called into existence a class of men who were practically engaged in destroying that re spect for legislative authority which the people might other wise have retained. Hetherington was originally a quiet industrious man, who had never actively interfered upon any political question. His present influence with the working classes was created by the stamp-laws. And what an argument was he allowed to urge against the conduct of Government, when he could state, at the head of the Poor Man's Guardian, that after five hundred persons had suf fered imprisonment for vending this publication, it was at last decided to be legal by the Court of King's Bench ? Dr. Birkbeek concluded by reading a memorial, in which the various taxes affecting literature were enumerated, and the argument for their abolition strongly enforced. Mr. HUME narrated the steps which had been taken to procure the repeal of the newspaper stamp duty during the last Session of Parliament. The strongest assurances had then been held out by Lord Althorp that the stamp duty should be removed. Nothing but cheap newspapers circu lated in the country districts could arouse a large portion of the population from the torpor of that ignorance which too generally prevailed among the agricultural classes. Dr. BOWRING related several instances of ignorance, which he should have treated as incredible, if he had not met with them himself during his late visit to Devonshire. Many farmers he had seen were believers in witchcraft, and no absurdities were too gross for them to credit. Some of the electors had been told that an alliance had been formed between Mr. O'Connell and the Pope, and the majority of the House of Commons, and (it really appeared) gave full credit to the statement. How could it be otherwise where newspapers were rarely or ever seen ? Those who had not access to the fullest means of political information could not be expected to vote as if they understood the bearings of every political question. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he was desirous of narrowing as much as possible the subject of discussion. He would, therefore, admit at once his entire accordance with the principles laid down by Dr. Birkbeek. The alarm which had been raised in the minds of many persons that a free and unstamped press would be abused to evil purposes he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) he. lieved to be groundless. Error would no doubt sometimes be disseminated, but it was paying a poor compliment to truth not to suppose that where it bad fair play, it was not more than a match for falsehood. There was but one ques tion to be considered. The Stamp-duty now produced 450,0001. Could the amount, if remitted in one form, be replaced to the revenue in any other ? Supposing there were already a surplus to that amount, he believed the House of Commons would not permit him to apply the whole of that surplus to this one object. A strong feeling was entertained on the subject of the Glass-duty, and he had already a number of applications for the reduction or abolition of other taxes. Mr. ROWLAND HILL stated that from various calcula tions he had made, and in which he had carefully endea voured not to exaggerate the effect of the abolition of the stamp duty, he believed that the revenue would gain rather than lose by the adoption of the measure. The increase of newspapers, supposing it to be only five-fold (although, from the circulation of newspapers in Guernsey and Jersey, there was no doubt it would be tenfold), would alone pro duce a large sum in paper duty. The duty upon advertise ments would also, it was probable, be equally productive ; and the deficiency, if there were any, might be supplied by a halfpenny or penny postage upon all newspapers, pam phlets, and other publications, weighing less than four ounces. The present duties produced to Government upon one hundred papers 11. 15s. 4d. He fully believed that with the stamp duty abolished, the remaining duties would be so much improved, that one hundred papers would then produce to the revenue 11. 15s. 6d. Mr. HICKSON stated, that out of thirty-five millions of newspapers, published annually in the United Kingdom, about twenty-four millions, or two-thirds of the whole, pass through the Post-office. The number of London news papers circulated by post was thirteen millions. It was not proposed to make the charge of a halfpenny or penny postage compulsory upon those who had any cheaper means of conveyance ; but it is yet certain, that if newspapers here should be as numerous as in the United States, the number passing through the Post-office, even at a charge of one penny, could not be less than at present. Twenty four millions of newspapers, circulated by post, at a charge of one penny, would produce 100,0001. A similar sum, it was likely, might be raised by the postage of Price Cur rents, prospectuses, trade circulars, pamphlets, and'maga zines. The paper duty now produces 1,0001. upon every million of newspapers. Were the number increased ten fold, the additional revenue to Government, from this source, would be 350,0001. Even if the paper duty were reduced one-half (a most desirable measure), the increased revenue would still be 175,000/. A long conversation ensued, chiefly upon the financial difficulties connected with the removal of the stamp-duty. The Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed his desire to be furnished with the fullest information respecting the manner in which it would affect the revenue ; and having again signified his assent to the principle of the proposed measure, the deputation took their leave. The conference lasted two hours. MEMORIAL OF CERTAIN INHABITANTS OF THE CITY OF LONDON, AND OTHERS. To THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, ON THE EXPEDIENCY OF REMOVING THE EXISTING IMPEDIMENTS TO THE DIFFUSION OF KNOW LEDGE, AND MORE ESPECIALLY OF ABOLISHING THE STAMP DUTY UPON NEWSPAPERS.—May 6,1835. The Memorialists believe the prosperity of every com munity is invariably commensurate with the progress of knowledge, and that a people trained in habits of reading and reflection will possess more resources for the creation of wealth, mid the promotion of their own happiness, than it would be impossible for them to command while in a state of ignorance. That it is therefore the first duty of a State to remove every obstacle to the diffusion of knowledge, and to give the greatest facilities for the circulation of all known facts, and the free discussion of all opinions. That among all the instruments hitherto invented for the accomplishment of these objects, the newspaper is by far the most efficient. That the stamp duty at present levied upon this instrument obstructs the working of it to a most pernicious extent, and is especially attended with the fol lowing evil results It places beyond the reach of the poor man that kind of information which is the most calculated to interest his mind,
