COUNT NESSELRODE'S CIRCULAR. ( Front ate Tiin,eS of this da'y. ) The .circular despatch of Count : Nesselrode to the di plomatic agents of Russia abroad is the most important declaration _we- have yet received of the views of the Russian Cabinet with reference. to the negotiations at Vienna, for it states the policy of the new reign in rela tion to the,present conjuncture of affairs. In addressing his own subjects, the Emperor Alekauder had thought fit to declare that he hoped to accomplish in his own person the policy of Peter,, Catherine, Alexan der, and Nicholas ; in addressing- the - other Courts of Europe the- Emperor speaks of nothing; beyond the defence of the honour and integrity of Russia and the accomplishment of the work ,of peace. He renews his declarations of fidelity to the- obligations of treaties, his desire Olive in good harinriny with all the Powers, his allies and friends,, his respect for the in violability of other States, and his firm resolution to maintain the rights and national honour of his own coun try. If this language be sincere, - we find no reason to complain of it, fer it - is entirely at variance with the policy purSued by the late Emperor in the'las - t two years of his,reign. The war . in: which we are en ;ages! was not begun in order to 'assail the rights or to conquer _the territories of Russia. It, was undertaken solely to en- Aree the obligations of public law, and to protect the territories of another Power. It 'is thererole not to be lost sight of that, when these obligations of public law are plazeed,en a secure basis, and when the territories of the Ottoman empire are secured from aggression, the original and primary objects of the war are accomplished. ' This being the spirit which the Russian- Pleni potentiaries have been " inetructed to display at the Conferences of Vienna, .we . are not surprised to learn that these meetings -- have thus fir proceetlel smoothly and. successfully. A protocol containing the arrangement proposed with reference to the Danubian Principalities; which forms the first point in the negotiation, has already beeu_. draWn up antOsigned, -or at feat initialled. A second arrangement onthe free navigation of the Danube has also been agreed to, and may be considtred to be settled in conformity with the views of Austria and the Western Powers. It is pro bable, therefore, that the discussions .which ern to take piece in the ensuing week will bring the Pleaipetentiariee to the third and fourth, points, on which the main diffi culty rests—namely, the diminution of the ,preponder ance of Russia in the Bleck Sea, together with the revi sion of the Convention of 1841, and the eetablishment of the rights of the Christian subjects of the Porte on a footing of freedom and equality. These are questions of incalculably-greater difficulty than those which have al ready been disposed of, for they involve the existence of the maritime power of Russia in the East end the - internal condition of the Ottoman empire. The Russian Mini-' .stars showed their tact and-judgment in passing lightly over the first articles, when others of so much greater consequence lay behind ; and nothing whatever can be inferred from the progress hitherto made until the ques tions really in dispute are brought under the considera tion of the Congress. Another motive may, however, be assiened for the facility and promptitude with which the Russians have yielded on the subject of the Principalities and the navi gation of the Danube. Those are the two points which most reedy concern the interests of Austria., and, by surrendering them, Russia no doubt hopes to lessen the firmness with which Austria adheres to the collec tive determination of the Allied Powers. We cenriot suppose, however, that the Cabinet of Vienna will be the dupe of so palpable an artifice, which would lead to an act of great injustice and had faith. It may be true that these two points concern Austria more than the Western Powers, because the Danube intersects her terrtory, and the lower provinceesurreund the Austrian. frontier. The abolition of the separate treaties placing those provinces under a Russian protectorate and the opening of the mouths of the river are an immense boon to Austria. But how has she obtained it ? She has ob tained these advantages by the arms of the Western Powers, and by her own resolution to support their po licy. These two points form a portion of a joint and identical arrangement, of which one part may be more acceptable to one State and another to another, _but which, in reality, owes its strength and its success to their union. It would be wholly inconsistent with the spirit of the Notes of the Bth of August and of the Treaty of the 2d of December to separate the four pro positions, which form one indivisible whole ; and, in exchange for the support they have given to the terms mainly affecting Austria, France and England are en titled to expect from Austria the same support to all the conditions - treinanded of Russia. The Austrian Mi nisters in the Conference have hitherto shown a firm disposition to adhere to the cause of the Western Powers, which is also that of peace. Austria knows that no solid peace can be restored so long as Russia retains her absolute preponderance over the Black Sea, and as long a 3 the relations of the Christian populations of the East to their Sovereign are unsettled ; and, although her military honour is not engaged, like that of France and England, in the attack on Sebastopol, the results of that enterprise are not less important to the policy of Austria than to that of the Western Powers. We are not in tie condition at this moment to form any definite or decided opinion , on the momentous question -which the Plenipotentiaries now as sembled at Vienna will be called upon within a few days to consider and to solve, for the facts on which their judgment must be formed are still very imperfectly known, even to the members of the Conference, and we cannot weigh without extreme hesitation and anxiety en alternative of such fatal consequence to the public and private interests of mankind. It would be culpable to throw a'A ay an honest chance of peace upon any punc tilious or hasty motive; but'it would be not less culpable to attempt to terminate these hostilities before the end for which they were commenced is attained. We have never shared, and we do not now share, the views put forward by the more eater of our contemporaries, who . seem to think the territorial dismemberment of t he Rus sian empire a very simple undertaking. Before any such territorial questions arise at all, they must be preceded by actual conquest or occupation ; but, although we have invaded the Crimea, the alied armies cannot be said to hold any part of that peninsula beyond their own entrenched camps ; and before we can reasonably call on Russia to surrender a werst of her dominions we must at least have male ourselves masters of it. • As matters now stand, upon the simple ground of uti possi detis no territorial question can be said to exist, and it forms no part of our alliances with France or Austria to attempt to make any such acquisitions at the present stage of this war. Indeed, If any conquests' had been made, we should be embarrassed how to dispose of them, and they certainly would not have fallen to this country. But, though the territorial objects which have some times been pointed out as the prizss for which we are contending would not, in our opinion, • justify a prolongation of hostilities if peace cell be obtained with out them, vet for this very reason we adhere the more inflexibly to those results which concern our rights and soiuerizehdonsoeubar.stoOptu)lr forces , not t have so much invaded fro nithe ß n is e i o sia, a necessity ty itd of bede stroying that place, as from a conviction that the destruc tion of Sebastopol would most effectually conduce to the future peace of the East. If the results of the last cam paign have fallen shirt of our just expectetions, the greater is our motive to persevere, until we have restored our military renown and our political influence to the highest point at which they can be placed, for it is more consistent with the true interests of this country to pro long the war at all hazards, and by far greater sacrifices than we have yet male, than to submit to a peace pur chased by the smallest diminution of our national cha racter. The British empire, extending over millions of human beings in every part of the globe, is supported not so much by the actual force we maintain on any given point, as by the knowledge and belief that the resources and the will of the people of England are equal to any emesgency. That is the principle for which our forefathers struggled and died in perils and against, difficulties immeasurably greater than any which are now before us. That principle it devolves upon us to defend. With it we are invincible—without it we should be on the brink of disgrace and decay. We can take shelter under no compromise with the enemy, and, though we are ready to grant a peace on the terms al ready agreed to, perhaps the highest interests of the nation will be more effectually promoted by the vigor ous prosecution of the war. THE VIENNA CONGRESS. (Prom, the Morning Post of this day.) It is generally understood that the Congress of Vienna is now approaching a most critical point of the negotia tions, and therefore of its existence. We pointed - out some days ago that, in considering the Four Points seriatim, the Congress might either enter upon the conbideration, and complete the deter mination, of one point after another, or before entering into details it might pass general resolutions in sue. cession upon each point, leaving details fur future ela boration. We believe that the latter of these courses has been adopted. Indeed, had the Congress, fur instance, en tered fully on the first point, involving a revision of many treaties, and the framing of a new ,Constitution for the Danubian Principalities, a month or six weeks might have been lost in the necessary labours and diseussiens, and we should have presented the strange spectacle of parties arranging details before being agreed upon gene ral principles. We think we are not wrong in supposing the Congress to have given a general assent to the propositions founded upon tie first Two Points ; but here we must warn our readers not to think that therefore these points are settled. It is all very welt for the Plenipotentiaries to agree that the Moldo-Wallachian provinces shall receive a new protectorate - and a new constitution, and that the navi gation of the Danube shall be free and shall be overlooked by authorities not exclusively Russian ; but when these matters come to be carried out in detail, then it is that difficulties will arise. In fact, on such points as these, the difficulty lies almost solely in the detail. ' The Third Point'is different ; about it there is no de. tail. It points to one great fact —the limitation of Rus sian preponderance in the Black Sea. To this end there are but two means—ono, the establishment in the Mack Sea of French and English fleet' and stations erplivalei t to those of Rus6ia ; the otitcr, the reduction of toe elan power, The fast of these weans is as impossible as anything that „is possible can be; and, though set down as an alternative, .is really out of the question. The second.is virtually the one means ; and, therefore, the Congress having arrived at this vital point, the This sian-Plenipotentiaries will have to accept or refuse,that which directly involves the humiliatio , i of Russia. We 'are afraid • that nothing • has yet occurred Which can give rise to- any hope that Russia will subscribe to our terms. The late Emperor, cou'd he have bent his will to the unpleasnt taSk, had at any rate the power to Make peace. The present Emperor, on the contrary, we fear, having the will, lacks the power. Lord John Russell, it is most probable, will be able to return to Englarid in some 10 days,. bringing, as the Ronan Ambassador of old, peace or war in the folds of his mantle. For now it is to be decided at Vienna whether Russia shall be bound within her own terri tories, and effectual barriers opposed .ta..her aggresion by land or sea ; or whether the, war is to proceed on a larger or more terrible scale than ever.,-.-whether, in one word, we are Row to secure a permanent peace, or whe ther it has yet to.be conquered.. • • THE DISMANTLING OF SEB iSTOPOL. (From the Daily News of this day.) ,It was whispered on. Friday—it was confidently as serted" on Saturday—that the Allies no longer intend to insist upon the dismantling of Sebastopol.' It was said that Au-trig refused to support such a demand on the part of the Western powers ; that the English Ministers, aftsr a brief demur, gave up the point; and that, la-tiy, the Emperor of the French consented to-a complete eva cuation of the Crimea, Sebast Tel beicg left standing. The rciklit - given -to these statements, by monetary po tentates, was vouched for by their Lrge operations in the" French and English Funds. For our own part, we confess that we cannot believe the report, with the words used by the English Plenipotentia r y at Vi enna , w h en he pointed to Sebastopol, last June. as a permanent me nace to Constantinople, fresh in 'OW memory, and with the knowledge or'how mach the heart of. the French Empeior is set upon the capture of that fortress, and what a deep stake he has in the successful issue of the attempt. Our faith in the weakness' and inconsequence of statesmen is tolerably strong, but the call to believe that the French and English Governments will leave Sebastopol standing, lifter all that has' been said and done, tries it rather too severely.. • . Mr. Disraeli's e , pec:al ergan - in the press has put forth a laboured piece of special pleading to prove that there would he no danger in sparing Sehastopel. Sufficient Iguarantees for the stability of the Ottoman Empire, the free navigation of the Euxine, and the peace and inde pendence of Europe, may be had, according to the Dis raeli organ, without , the dismantling of Sebastopol. "An armed port is in itself only defelisiVe." "Sebas topol is menacing only when it shelters a powerful fleet." " Russia without a fleet in. thel Black .Sea is as much deprived of aggresive pewer as if Sebastopol did not exist as an armed port." "Russia will limit her navy in the Black Sea to a certain number of ships, and will allow the construction of a fortress on the Asiatic shore of the Black Sea to counterbalance the fortress of Se , -bastopol." This is the sum and substance of what the - Di-raelites have to say in support of the proposal to leave Sebastopol intact in the hands of the Czar. It deserves attention as an . indication of the terms upon which a Derby-Disraeli Cabinet would be ready to make peace with,Russia. • For no other reason do these arguments deserve a second thought. It is admitted that Sebastopol, with a powerful- fleet sheltered in its recesses, would gravely menace the free navigation of the Black Sea nod the se curity of Corntentinople. And how long can Europe be certain that it will not shelter such a fleet whilst 'its crags bristle with bastions and artillery ! " Russia will limit her navy in the Black Sea." That is, Russia will yield to the pressure of the moment, and promise to do so; but she will immediately set to Work to build ships in anticipation of the moment when any dissensions be tween the Western Powers may admit of her producing them in the Euxine with better prospects of success. At Nicolaieff—where the Russian men-of-war for the Euxine are built—no consuls of foreign powers are al lowed to establish themselves. Its arsenals and dock yards are closed against the inspection of strangers. A more numerous fleet than Russia has ever yet had in the.Euxine may be prepared there, and not a whisper of the matter be heard in Europe. From Nicolaieff to the sea the river is tortuous in its course, and full of shalloWs and sand-banks ; the ships of war, when built, have to be floated down` by the aid of what are called "camels." The i.e.'s.. es ske was protected by forts and batteries. The new onus would be inaccessible in its dockyards, even though its existence were discovered ; and Sebastopol —strengthened as it doubtless will be if lett in the possession of Russia— would afford the ft et a secure asylum as soon as an opportunity was obtained of get ting it safely into the waters of the Black Sea. Sebas topol is of no use to Russia except as a ground Of vant age wherei she may at any moment assail Con§tantino mpleen;t andciin clings e to o b i t s s t i p n a o Ly e s w s o t wi th which shows t that u t s h s e ia d n e s G i g o n v s e r o n f - Peter u and, Catherine against Turkey are not yet extraordinaryrelin rtelatestothe "set-off '' which part of this pre cious Russia is represented as willing to concede to the Allies. aemn most Russia "will, allow the construction of a fortress on the oishs relin quished. a; gu B m n e t n the Asiatic shore of the Black Sea to counterbalance the fortress of Sebastopol." We have heard of this before, and we believe that Russia would rejoice to see such a fortress reared and garrisoned by the Western Powers --because it would be the first decided step towards the partition of Turkey. The trap is too obvious to de ceive any but a statesman of the Fakreddin school. There can be no security for the free navigation of the Black Sea, and the development of the commerce of the surrounding regions, so long as Russia is left in posses sion of the Crimea. The position of the Muscovite Go- vernment in Sebastopol is exactly analogous to that of the Highland caterans of the first half of last century among the natural festnesies around Loch Katrine. Until practicable roads were carried through that re gion —after the rebellion of '45 —the marauders who oc cupied these strongholds were a perpetual thorn in the sides of the industrious lowlanders. They watched the moment for a successful foray, and levied black-mail with impunity, confident that even if a force greater than they could resist were brought against them they could fall back upon the inaccessible regions behind until the storni blew over. In like manner, so long as Russia can exclude foreigners from the Crimea and adjoining steppes, she can intermit the levying of black mail in the Euxine, and her forays in the lands of the Sultan when Europe rises in arms to supprees them, and resume her spolia tions when peace is restored. The forts which crown the crags and cover the windings and creeks of the harbour of Sebastopol must be dismantled, and the Crimea ren dered accessible to the nations of Europe, or there will be no lasting security for peaceable traders in the Black Sea. While such weighty reasons can be adduced for the dismantling of Sebastopol, as a sine qux non of peace, we cannot believe that it i s i n t h e contemplation of the Western Powers to desist fro m i ns i sting on that condi tion. The report that they are so disposed has possibly had its origin in an imp er f ec t account of an opinion, at tribured to the Emperor of the French, that Sebastopol is t )o strong to be taken by assault ;_ and that its reduc tion must be accomplished, after the Russian armies have been driven out of the Crimea, by the more tedious process of a strict blockade. THE NEWSPAPER DOCTORS. (Front the Examiner. Fortune still favours the Manchester assault upon the Newspaper Stamp, from which M r. B r i ght, its ablest , The and sew most Chancellorpertinacious spokesman, heE x Exchequer, ind ee d considers expects "v as t resu lts." such expectations to be quite erroneous, and "does nob expect that a great number of new newspapers will be ' established &the stamp duty should be removed :" but he nevertheless gives way to the opinion of Mr. Biight and his friends, and consents to abolish what they de clare to be a tax upon knowledge. This it is to be constituted, malgre lui, Physician to Newspapers. In obedience to a demand a s prompt and urgent as that which cauxel H. Sganarell e t o consent to the blistering of other men's backs that he might be save] from the bruising of his own, Sir Cor newall Lewis advances to Mr. Bright's rescue. Our Chancellor of the Exchequer came into office, as we all know, fresh from the Edinburgh .Reiiew, a journal which is supp eee d ; justly or unjustly, to possess still some influence, Wh a t use bad he made of that influence, in regard to this p ar ticular question ! Why, under his editorshi p, the Edinburgh Review laughed at the whole thing. Y ea, at the fallacy involved in denouncing the newspaper stamp as a tax on knowledge, Sir Cernewall Lewis'sßeview went so far out of its usual way as even to make merry. It called the cry for repeal .a Tadpole cry. The false reasoning of the predominating party in the committee of the house, and the onesidedness of the witnesses, were by the same grave authority exposed ; and public opinion wee directed strongly against interference with a system which had every consideration of right and good policy on its side. We are not recalling all this to charee the Chancellor of the Exchqeuer with any grievous incon sistency. The simple fact is, that having no r ea l in terest whatever in the subject, he has manifestly never thought about it seriously. He is quite as s a ti s fi e d , therefore, to take his opinions in the first place f rom a contributor to his Review, as, in the next p l ace, when the matter presses in that direction, from Messrs. Bright and Cobden. It is remarkable, too, that this measure, which pro- poses—at any rate—a most serious interference with a large commercial interest, is taken up thus at sight not by Sir Cornewall Lewis only. Mr. Gladstone also com plained the other night that his introduction of the bill bad not been voluntary. He, too, was a medicin malgre lui. " It was rather," he said upon this point of doe toriog the newspapers, " in deference to the 'strong and unanimous opinion of the house that the Government gave way, and not because they thought that the pro position was a wise and prudent one. But the strong opinion of the house was one thing, and the strong opinion of Mr. Bright another. The house had affirmed only, in view of the confusion caused by prosecutions arising from an imperfect legal definition of a newspaper , that the existing law, being ill defined and unequal in operation. ealed for the early attenti o n of Parliament . • What alone the h ouse w a s pledged to by its decimation, , was to get rid of - the difficulties and coninsicn in certain acts of Parliament, which, by their blundering, had on -settled some portions of the press. But this would not satisfy Mr. Bright. His support was to be oUlined by no- Cling short of tumbling over the whole existing system. Newspaper proprietors were to be involved in all kinds of confusion ,and difficulty, they were to have acts of Parliament arranging - tie matter even more intricate Wan those complained of, and nothing was to be done that was not done in such a way as to reduce the effi ciency, if not the profits, of the leading established news_ pap -r4. This was the price of Mr. Bright's support and it is to be "'aid accordingly. It meet surely be re_ gard,A us a public benefit, when it is thus at any cost to be secured. But, by way of re-assurance apiast being thus thing as sops into the jaws of any Cerberos, any three gentle men of Maochest,r representing the people of England, we are told that other advantages are in preparation for us ; we are to be made sound and whole ; we are to be saved from a great many m a tt ers o f complaint. "I for one," says Mr. Gladstone, "am determined to do all in my_ power completely to set free the press." The " burdens on the press" are to be removed by the State doctors. The press all the while is in the posi_ tion of M. Pourcea'ognac, who stoutly declares to the whole army of physicians that ho wants no physic. " What cla you want of me ?" he asks—" To cure you," answer his kind friends ; " to cure you, according to the order that Las been7given us."--" Cure me ! but, gentle- I am not ailing."—" Bad sign," say his tormen tors, " when a patient ne sent pas son ;gal."—" I tell you," cries the victim, " that I am in most excellent condition."—" We know better than you what your condition is," say th.se inexorable sons of Galen. "We are physicians, w1:0 can see down to the bottom of your constitution." One is obliged to have recourse to the most extrama pot absurdities of Moliere fur a parallel to the pro posel interference with the constitution of the 'news paper pres's, Morally, Ale only "revolution" possible ,- - - 71 f -we look at the - argument - of the revolutionists—is the creation of a mass of indifferent literature at the expense of that which is good ; the establishment of petty local newspapers ; and an obstruction to the working of the most essential clement in the useful ness of the exist ng system, a wide diffusion and free interchange of opinion between town a town, pro vince and province. Commercially the only revolution poFslb!e will be the mulcting in some sene of every prosperous newspaper establishment, which now sup ports what with truth is called " law and order," for the sal e •if justice—in order to beget a large mrin of unprosperous establishments set on foot by the lowest elms ofspeculator3, who will he willing to suppm t what any Mini-ter for the time being may call " law and order," f.r. the cake of hire. We may, or may not be hewn in the possibility of such a result following the pro posed changes, but if, as their warmest supp,rters say, there are indeed to be " vast results," this will be their character. '1 he whole measure, in short, is full of irjustico and confusion. The only decent thing to be said of it is that there zre tot hom.l)te3 tot sententice as to the effect it will have. Toe press, it is said, does riot know its own busi ness, a! ,d has unnecessary fears ; yet, an: _mg those who affect to understand the management of its business, there is not the least particle of agree ment. One promoter of the new act looks for a revolution, and another for no consequence whatever, from the measure which they equally support. None of the doctors can foretel what result will be obtained by the remedies they are going to administer. The pub lic is to be amused with a case of legislation in the dark, of which it can only be affirmed that when we open our eyes we shall see what we shall see. And all this for nothing more imperative than the removal of a technical difficulty which had annoyed the lawyers of the Crown. Tile bear strikes to remove the fly, and the skull is broken on which the fly had settled. THE NEWSPAPER STAMP. (Prom the Daily News of this day.) One would suppose, from the language of our contem poraries of the London daily press, that a fierce perse cution was about to be directed against them. All, without exception, Free Traders and Anti-Free Traders, concur in opposing the Newspaper Stamp Bill ; and yet if this bill becomes law, its immediate effect upon all existing newspapers cannot be otherwise than highly beneficial. Its secondary effect, by - lication of -cheap n ews n ee, existence cornma into s, is little to be dreaded. -- however, their cheaper rivals have any deteriorating influence en the commercial prospects of existing newspapers, no free-trader has any right to ob ject to the bill on that ground. The principle upon which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has acted in framing the bill is precisely that which ought to he adopted, viz. :—That news is not in itself a proper sub ject for taxation ; but that there is no reason for dis turbing the, present postal scale for the conveyance of newspapers.. Stamping, therefore, is to be no longer compulsory. Any one is to be a t liberty to publish a newspaper untaxed, unregistered, and altogether un fettered. If, however, the present postal facilities are desired, they may be obtained on the same conditions as at present, viz., registration, and the giving of securi ties, &c.—and to any extent demanded. In short, the whole or part of any issue :may pass through the post on the same terms as at present. Unstamped copies (by sec. xi.) are to be charged letter rates of postage. This charge, we think, must have been accidentally imposed, and we hope the section will be amended. Unstamped periodicals ought to pass at book•postage rates. The bill proposes no other alterations in the law than the above. Can the existing newspapers complain of the immediate effect of these enactments ? In no wise. But they may complain, and the Times does so, of omissions. That journal says that whereas it has frequently to pay three halfpence per copy, it ought only to pay one penny, as there should be no restriction on the size of a newspaper. It complains that other newspapers being smaller go through the post for one penny ; that, therefore, the law is to remain unchanged in this respect simply for the purpose of injuring the Times, and that the reason why the Times is so chosen for extra taxation is because it administers to the public good. " Why," says the big journal, "why, in the name of justice, should we be visited with a penalty for administering to the public good without in jury to any one, though at some cost to ourselves ?" Now it strikes us that the reason why the Times ought to pay more for being carried through the post is because it is heavier and larger. As it is, the Post-office gains little by newspapers ; and were its charges diminished, it would positively lose. With much more justice might we say, " Why should our little evenieg edition, the Ex press, pay as much for postage as the big papers ?" Tile Times, out of pure benevolence, sometimes gives the public eight additional pages. Unfortunately, in this heavily-taxed country, the benevolent man who :pelvis 2001. in goods for the poor pays twice as much to the Government as he who only gives away 100/.'s worth. It is the penalty of greatness. Our contemporary must pay it as such. By the bye, in the Times of Thursday we find the following :—" What compels us to require more than a certain number of inches ? The pressure of intelligence and the number of our advertisements, the former cause being the principal." On the a tine day the Times consisted of 72 columns, of which 26 contained news and comments on it, while 40 were made up of advertisement=. Each of the other papers, the Daily News among them, had 36 columns of news and com ments. The arguments of the Times are simply and ludicrously absurd, and the tone of its articles on this subject is childish. With regard to the 1001. which the Times occasionally loses on its daily issue we would remark that the propri e t ors are very foolish to incar such a loss, unless they find that the loss of 1001. twice a week may be regarded as an outlay by which they insure a proportionate gain on each of the four othe - r days. Professor Holloway says that he finds his profits always increase in a greater proportion than the sums he lays out in advertising. So much for the immediate effect of the bill on the existing news papers. As to its remote effect in calling into existence cheap rivals ; to that, whether injurious or not, we will submit we hope with a good grace. Profoundly convinced as we are of the soundness of the free-trade doctrines, we dare not, whatever course self-interest may suggest, op pose any measure which removes artificial causes of monopoly. Superiority may and must cause monopoly ; monopoly never creates superiority. In the cheap dif fusion of news and information the public are concerned more than ourselves. They have decided that it will be for their benefit ; we agree with them in this opinion. , . It is unfortunate that the chief organs through which their wishes can become known are precisely those to which this public benefit may be supposed to be injuri ous—viz., the existing newspapers. We hope, and we think, that we should support, as we always have done, the removal of the newspaper stamp, even if we felt that it would work some injury to ourselves. But we do not feel so. We have not space at present to give our rea sons ; but, as the Daily News ha's been a cheap daily stamped London newspaper, and as it is but a young and very successful paper established at considerable cost, and as we have at present a cheap evening edition, it is, perhaps, not going too far to say that cur infor mation must be considerable on this subject, and to claim the merit of disinterestedness. Whatever experience any stamped newspaper--cheap, dear, big, or little—has, that also have we : whatever any stamped newspaper will suffer from the passing of this bill into law, that also shall we suffer. To establish a journal like the Lon don morning newspapers requires many things besides capital sufficient fur the Stamp-office and securities ' for good conduct ; such papers must always be few. Smaller, cheaper, or merely local papers can never be ' come the rivals of our London contemporaries. Nor can we see how the non-necessity of stamping such news papers as do not pass through the post, and the conse quent creation of cheap local newspapers, will lower, the tone of the press generally. Such papers can only hope to drive the London papers out of their locality by being themselves as good as possille ; and the present illegal unstainned press can only hope to prevent the establish• went of new cheap papers by the same means. Before concluding these remaiks, we must say one word as to the only ground upon which the present bill may with some apfarent justice, and on which it pro• bably will, ho opposed. We refer to its fiscal bearings. It is said that of the 400,0001. row arising from news paper sia,ftpß, only 150000/. will to~ rec'Aved, and that the revenue, now so little able to boar any dituieution, will suffer a loss of 250,0001, We believe this fear to be 7,4,./ _....,-- ._-....,,...- Z 6‘c-t.e.-- rpßicE SD. quite unfounded. It is highly Probable that at least one-bah` of the copies of the present newspapers will con tinue to fit' stamped, and in the course of_ a year new papers w ill go far to make up the deficiency io stamps alone. But in addition to this, the receipts from the paper duty will be so consid e rably increased that the revenue arising from newspapers may be positively in creased. As to tco assertion that the promoters of an unstamped press will attempt the repeal of the paper duty, and thus cut off that means of keeping the revenue up, we may defrer the consideration of that measure until it is proposed. ( t e , ---/ ) 37 ' (From, the Sunday Tintes.) If the Chancellor of the Exchequer should persevere in pressing on his Newspaper Stamp Duty Bill, he will entitle himnself to the singular merit of having sacrificed 250,0001. or 300,0001. a year, at a time when the re sources of taxation are being strained to the uttermost ; and that, too, 'by an operation about which the pub lic is utterly indifferent, and to which all whom it affects are strongly opposed. It is net from fear of any anticipated competition, consequent upon the aboli tion of the compulsory stamp, that newspaper proprietors are averse to the change, for it is manifest that the diffe rence of a penny in the cost of publication, which will extend to them, as well as to any new proprietors that may start up, cannot place them at a disadvantage in the race of competition. That is not the ground of our dislike to the measure,. therefore. In a pecuniary sense the present newspapers will not lose ; but the inconvc vitnee, and trouble, and confusion that will be produced, not only.iri the newspaper offices, but throughout the trade, ere boyond all calculation. The ne..vsvendors, who - met on TOursda,y evening in St. Martin's-hall, slowed clearly wough to what an extent, and how pre jud:cialy, they, wit: he affected by the measure. The proprietor of the Sussex Herald has put the measure •in a light which may interest newspaper purchasers" more we can say of newspaper vendors ; than anything "It may be said that the circulation of the Sussex Express depends solely upon the post for the transmission of its copies. Now, all this va,luable business of trans mil=lion is accomplished by the pest, by the means of the newspaper paying for stamp?, to the amount cf only 18/. 63. 4d., whereas, with the greatest ingenuity and strictest economy, if I were compelled to distribute my journal by other means, I could net do it, and ensure expedition, at a less stun than 521. 18s. 4d., so that my subscribers gain by the newspaper stamp, 321. 19s. weekly, or 1,7991. 4s. annually, and also the advantage of res-transmitting their papers to their distant friends, without iurthercharge, an advantage of incalculable bene fit, aed used to an enormous extent. In fact, I have little doubt that after the 4,000 copies of my journal have been read by the subscribers, 3,500 of them are re-transreitted by pest to distant countries ; and if the cost is estimated to each reader, I have no hesitation in saying that it is far less than id. each, much below the cheapest paper in America, taking quantity and quality into consi deration." (Front the Weekly Dispatch.) If we were to regard merely our own individual Neon ven;ence and profit we might accept as some advantage the small difference made by Sir G. C. Lewis in Mr. Gladstone's Newspaper Stamp Bill. We are more and more fortified in the conviction that the entire movement is a combination of knavery and dupery, and that an ig norance more presumptuous than ordinary patronises the change. Are the people, those who can judge (and we give the utmost latitude to the qualification), dissatisfied with the press as it is ? They have confessedly the best in the world. No other gives information so speedily or so completely. No other gives half the encouragement to talent for the specific pur pose of judging aright and enforcing judgmen • ably. If there be as able writers connected with some of the French and one or two of the German papers, they write for their party, not for the press itself or on behalf of the public. Compare the best papers sold in Eng land, price and all, with any and all others, and they are the cheapest. Do the advocates of change say that they can do something better ? No ; they only pretend to establish low-priced journals, depending for all that is good in them upon piracy. Suppose, for instance, in the matter of news, that England had none but half penny or penny newspapers. The news, collected now a complete Rem, would not and could not be gathered, even in an imperfect one, for days and weeks after the present ordinary course of publicity. We repeat, then, that now avemy n Tv• LLa r...11..b measure and with the shortest interval from the occur rence, all that can be known and narrated ; and that i a"cheap" press were utterly to supplant a fairly priced one, the reader must wait a long and uncertain time for the most imperfect, partial, and shallow report. We will say nothing of the leading articles which, in imi tation of Mr. Toots, John Bright declares to be, of " no consequence, thank yon," but which he isfascinated to read through in spite of himself; we are quite sure that any fall ing off in their staple would be the most serious detriment British literatureand politics could sustain. Where there is. little or nothing to amend and every thing to spoil, we cannot but indulge an irrepressible contempt for the rashness that pr,)vokes, and the cowardice that acquiesces in,, alteration, or for that still lower and more baneful mean ness that would fain sap the power of too effectual a censor. We cannot, however, suppose that the fiscal aspect of the question will escape accurate criticism in these times. We cannot imagine that John Bright's ar gument, that because the House of Commons is voting away millions nightly, therefore it ought to give up half or quarter millions of means, can appeal to any braies unaffected with sheer lunacy. Is John Bright himself in the habit of purposely cutting down his profits to meet increased expenses ? If a workman asked for higher wages on that principle, is he prepared immediately to assent, as feeling the logic irresistible t We are told, however, that there are considerations beyond those of revenue, that the diffusion of knowledge must not be stopped for want of money, that when the improvement of the uneducated people, their elevation in the scale of humanity, is in question, pounds, shillings, and pence are mere dross. We have shown that the people will not be bettered ; but let that pass. We will give the Chan cellor of the Exchequer the full use of the appeal, which, as the Edinburgh Review philosopher, he is naturally so prone to parade. But we confess that we do like con sistency in morals—that we cannot put faith in any morals that are not consistent, but rather class them as expedient hypocrisy and Pharisaical humbug. NATAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. A Malta correspondent, in his letter of the 17th inst., says : " The Osiris (French) due two days ago, only arrived to day from Alexandria ; and the Austrian boat, also three days overdue, has arrived. " The screw steam-ship Tencriffe has arrived from Alexandria.

Some of the French officers who have arrived to-day wish to make known the high sense they entertain of the very warm reception given them by the British officers in garrison there, and the great hospitality they exhibited. It is their wish to express publicly the grateful remem brance of their welcome, and their hopes one day of re quiting it.

The straps proceeding front the centre, instead of the sides of the pack, allow of greater freedom to the arms. MILITIA. The Hampshire Artillery Militia stationed in the gar rison at Woolwich, assembled on the Artillery parade ground on Saturday to allow the men to volunteer, when 13 stepped forward for the Royal Artillery. The Oxford Militia have volunteered for service f any of the colonies. The recruiting to complete the Royal Glamorgan Militia Regiment is going on rapidly. Daring the past week 27 volunteers have been enrolled, and the present strength of the corps is 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant-colonel„1 major, 7 captains, 12 subalterns, 26 sergeants, 18 cor porals, 10 buglers, and 479 privates, exclusive of , ab sentees.

On Thursday the Dowager Marchioness of London derry presented the North Durham Regiment of Militia of which her eldest son, Earl Vane, is Lieutenant-Colo nel, with colours. They assembled on the parade-ground in the city of Durham, and after Archdeacon Thorp had read the service prepared for the occasion, the Marchioness advanced to the front of the plat; e North non-com missioned Durhani form and said --" Lieut enant -Colonel Lord Vane, officers, . t officers, and privates o f feel ings of interest th a t I think toafllthtisimeresgiituanwt,itwh hic mended by my son, owes its ori g i n t o my beloved husband, i s corn-. and raised in the county in: which I h ave b een born and bred.

Ensigns Bowling and Trotter then received. the colours from her ladyship. Earl Vane trade a, suitable reply. The men were afterwards enter tained with dinner in the New Market. The coal-owners at Wigan have determined on giving notice to their colliers, there is reason to believe, of a reduction of wages, in consequence of the decreased demand for coal, amounting to 10 per cent., and a re duction of empl oyment to 4 d ays p er week.
