LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1830. ADVERTISEMENT DUTY. (From the Scotsman Of Wedneiday) TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE HENRY GOUL BURN, CHANCELLOR OF HIS MAJESTY'S EXCIIEQUEII. Six,—About eighteen months ago, I addressed you on the subject of the taxes affecting Newspapers; but observ ing that you are about to revise the laws relating to the Stamp Duties, I hope you will not deem it an intrusion, if I again take the liberty respectfully. to solicit your atten tion to a few faets . regarding one branch of these duties, the tax on Advertisements, which is felt to be a great grievance in its present form, and a grievance for which there is the less excuse, as the tax easil}• admits of-being placed upon a footing, which, without causing any sacri fice of revenue, would remove the heavy obstruction which it now throws in the way of the internal trade of the king dom. I feel grateful to you for what you have just done in lightening the burdens of the country, and only solicit your attention to what I have now to propose, on the ground that my suggestions, if carried into effect,: will not take one shilling from the tr.•asury, and that if they are calculated to confer some advantage on the newspaper - press, they are certain to benefit the genekal industry of the country in a ten times higher degree. Tlie bad effects of the present advertisement duty are rendered palpable, by ,a -comparison of the cement and the p r i ce o f a dv er ti s ing—in Britain, where it is subject to this duty, and in the United States, where it is entirely untaxed. • In order to get correct information, I caused a friend to write to a gentleman in New York, explaining my object, and requesting him to send me such specimens of the New York press as would exhibit the average amount of ad vertising. He sent me eight papers, all dated the 26th of March, 1828, and stated that I might take these as fair specimens of the twelve daily papers published in that city. These eight papers were transmitted by me to your office, in October, 1828, that you might verify my state ments by examination. anvEnnsEmENTR. The eight New York papers of the 26th March contain 3,117 Average number in each 389 From these data the number of advertisements published by the twelve papers in a day, a week, a month, and a year, may be easily calculated. Advertisements published by Twelve Daily Papers in New York. In one day 8 In one week 2/5,008 In one month (26 day,) 121,368 In one year 1,456,416 (There are at least sixteen or eighteen other papers in New York, published once, twice, or thrice a week, which must be equivalent to four daily papers more, and must raise the annual number of advertisements to nearly 2,000,000 ; but as I have no precise data respecting these, I pass them over.) Now, it appears from the Finance Accounts that the gross produce of the advertisement duty, on an average of the years 11 26, 1827, 1828, in Britain and Ireland, was, In Britain .£153;709 In Ireland In the United Kingdom £168,919 From which, by a very simple calculation, I find the number of advertisements published annually to be as under Advertisements published by 400 Papers in Britain and _ . they do not; and for this they are entitled to ins . eit 312 advertisements in the tear. , Such is the price of advertising in New York, let us now see what :it is in London. I have before me the rate of charge in one of the.most respectahle. Morning Papers, as announced in irs own columns in 1824 ; and I believe it has Since undergone no change. It stands thus— " Eight lines in Nonpariel type, seven shillings; all above eight lines, sixpence each line." Prom these data it is easy to compute the charge fOr any number of insertions in a London Paper and a Nim York Paper. An advertisement of 20 lines inserted once, costs=-- In a London Paper In a New York Paper The second insertion of such an advertisement costs-- In a London Paper l3s. Od. In a New York Paper " 2 2 The third, and every additional insertion, costs— 'ln a London Paper l3s Od. In a New York Paper 0 6 , /, The insertion of such an advertisement every day for one week costs-- . In a London Paper In a New York Paper 0 7 7 The insertion of sue!' an advertisement every day for one year ensts--- In a London Paper £2o2 16 0 In a New York Paper (:12 dollars) 6 18 8 Thus for advertisements inserted more than twice, the charge in London is to the charge in New York, as ttOitty-ftiiir to one! Even on advertisements not repeated, it will be as eight or ten to one. ' A small part of 'the difference may be ascribed to the stamp duty in this country; but it is evident that nine, tenths of it result 'from the tax on advertisements. A very great proportion, probably 19 out of 20 of all the adver tisements which appear, are under 20 lines. On each of these the publisher of the journal is subjected to a tax of 3a. 6d. ; he has this tax to pay every three mouths, while the advertiser only pays him once a-year ; and he has the duty to pay on these - advertisements for which, owing to bankruptcies or other causes, be never receives a farthing. Indeed, every one connected with the Press knows and feels, that ris. for eight lines in London, and 6s. Gd. in Edinburgh, is no more than an adequate re muneration. It is needless to say how different the situa tion of the American Journalist is in all these respects. Nor will any person who reflects on these facts be sur prised to discover, that there is twenty times as much ad vertising in America as in England, where the expense is twenty times les s . I think it may 1:e fairly concluded, from the details I have given, that the present ditty of Se. 6.1. suppresses nine advertisements out of ten, or more probably nineteen out of twenty, which would otherwise go to the newspapers ; and I submit to you, that a tax operating so mis chievously, and yielding only 160,000/. per annum, has less title to be considered as a source of revenue, than as an engine for extinguishing the business of advertising, and for obstructing and depressing all those branches of trade which require its aid. I doubt if another instance can be found in the whole circle of our revenue, where the sum yielded to the Exchequer is so small compared with the injury inflicted by - the tax on the industry of the country. There are two special objections to the existing law.— First, it falls with a ruinous weight on short advertise ments, which comprise nineteen-twentieths of the whole; and secondly, as the duty constitutes neatly half the price of these, it completely precludes the Journalist from making any abatement on advertisements often repeated. Now every bookseller knows, that a single insertion is of little avail, and that the whole virtue of advertising lies in frequent repetition. In America, the third and all additional insertions cost only one-sixth part of the price of the first. The effect of the nresent law evidently is, to make the cost of advertising extravagantly high, to keep the profits derived from it small on the whole, and to divide them most unequally—to enrich a very few journals and starve the rest. The evil may easily be rectified without the loss of a single shilling to the revenue. A duty graduated according to the length of the advertisement should be introduced. The objection to this has hitherto been, that a legion of clerks would berequired to ascertain the charge, by count ing the lines; but the difficulty is easily obviated. Let the duty be charged at so much for every inch in the length of the column which the advertisement occupies. The difference in the breadth of the column, which only amounts to one-third in the extreme cases (ranging from 21 1 ,- to 3 inches) is of so little consequence that it might be entirely disregarded, or if necessary the rate might vary with the breadth. The mode of computation would be much more simple for the Stamp-officers than at present ; for as the length of the column in each paper is a known and fixed quantity, it would only be necessary to count thz number of columns, and add their product in inches toge ther. It would be a farther advantage that all disputes would be at an end as to whether an advertisement embracing many distinct articles (such as a book seller or broker's) should pay duty as one advertise ment or several. I am confident, that were a duty of sixpence or eightpence an inch imposed as a substitute for the present preposterous duty of 3s. 6d. upon every advertisement (v;heher it consists of three lines or three hundred), the price of advertising would be reduced three fourths, the quantity augmented in a still greater propor tion, and no loss would be sustained by the Treasury. At eightpence per inch, an advertisement of three or four lines, which now pays 3s. 6d. would pay only 3d. or 4d. of duty. Short announcements of books or reviews published this (lay," coaches to start, or steam-boats or packets to sail, of exhibitions opened, and of a thousand other things requiring many repeated insertions, might then be put in ibr a fifth or a sixth part of the sum now charged. To Booksellers, to Shipping Companies, to Agents, Salesmen, and Auctioneers, to all who find it ne- .cessary to advertise frequently, the''cliange would be in estimably advantageous. Large sums are paid to keep up a post establishment, that one merchant may be enabled to correspond easily with another in a distant quarter, and is it not worth an effort to relieve advertising from the fetters that destroy its utility; and to place it on a footing which would render it a universal medium of correspondence for enabling all the persons in the kingdom who make or im port commodities, to communicate with all the persons who consume them ? A penny, I think, might he taken from the stamp duty with an equal certainty that Ihe revenue would lose nothing by the change. In cousequence of the tax of 4d., the price of a paper, which was only 4: 1 ,d. at the commence ment of the last war, has been raised to 7d. The annual charge for every one of the six daily papers published in Boston, is only eight dollars. In London, for a daily paper not containing more type, the charge is nine guineas ! The effect of our stamp and advertisement duty together, therefore, is to make us pay sevenpence for what costs less than three halfpence in America—to enhance the price of newspapers five-fold! On the evils of the stamp duty, however, I shall not enlarge, as they would require a more ample discussion than I have room for. My great object, I am confident, will be gained, if his Majesty's Ministers will only take the trouble to inquire into the effects of the present advertisement duty, the evils attending which appear to me so flagrant, and the expe diency and advantage of a change so clear, that even a slight investigation must, I am certain, dissipate every doubt. Ample means of information may easily be found. There are American Coneuls in some of our ports, many American merchants in London, and files of New York and Boston papers may be procured at some of the colL,e -houses.--I am Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant, THE EDITOR OF THE SCOTSMAN.

Trees by the road side are full of there incisions made by travellers, who appease both their hunger and thirst with the milk. RUM FO RD MA II KET.—March 21. F. ti. to s. d. a. d. a. d; Reef.

THE DR AWING Ireland In Britain 875,337 In Ireland . 121,683 1,000,010 or in round rumbers, there are cne million of advertise. ments published annually in Britain and Ireland. These, if equally divided among 400 newspapers, putting forth 580 publications weekly, or 30,000 in the year, would allow 33 to each; but for the press generally, the number will not exceed 20, when the extra share of a few leading Journals is deducted. From this statement, we arrive at the following extraordinary result :—" There are nearly a half snore advertisements published in the 12 Daily Papers of New York, than in all the 400 Papers of Britain , and Ireland, including the 16 daily Journals of London !" According to an article copied from an American Jour nal, which appeared in The Sun in January last, there are above SOO Newspapers (827) in the United States, of which 50 at least are Daily Papers ; and from files of many of these which have passed through my hands, I consider myself entitled to submit the following as a fair estimate of the advertisements they contain : Advertisements published in a Year by the American Press. ADYERTISEMENTs. 12 Daily Papers in New York, with 339 advertisements in each 1,455,000 33 ditto in other towns, with half the number, or 195 advertisements in each 750 Papers published once, twice, or thrice a.week, with 130 advertisements in each 6,34,4,000 Total in one year 10,105,000 Advertisements in the same period published by all the - Papers in the British Isles 1,000,000 Thus we find that in Britain the number of advertise tisements published annually is only one-tenth of what are published in America. Now Britain has twice the popu lation of America, anti more than twice the amount of business, and ought, therefore, to have twice the quantity of advertising. It follows that, whether we compute by business or population, the quantity of advertising in Ame rica is to that in Britain as twen'y to one ! But even this statement does not show the disproportion in its full extent. We must remember that there are two millions of negroes in America who neither read papers nor advertise—that nearly the whole advertising in every coun try proceeds from the inhabitants of towns, and that since three-fourths of the population of America live by agricul ture, and two-thirds of that of Britain by arts, commerce, and manufactures, the town population of the British Isles is to that of America as four to one at least. The adver tising, therefore, in Britain, instead of being one-tenth of what it is in America, ought to be four times as great ; and hence when the conditions of the question are properly stated, it would be no exaggeration to say, that the amount of advertising in America is to that in the British Iles as forty to one. I hive " Bowen's Picture of Boston," published in 1829, now before me, from which I find that there are 34 newspapers published in that city, of which six are daily, four thrice a week, eight twice a week, and sixteen once a week. These, therefore, put forth eighty publica tions weekly. At the moderate rate of 200 advertise ments in each, these 34 papers must publish 830,000 in the year, or more than are published in all England, London included ! Boston has only 70,000 inhabitant+, and, besides the 34 papers published in it, there are 44 pub lished in other towns of Massachusetts ! From a gentleman connected with the Press in Liver pool, I find that the number of advertisements which ap pear in one week in the eight papers published in that town, is about '760. The comparison, therefore, stands thus : Advertisements published weekly in Bost;At 15,000 Advertisements published weekly in Liverpool 760 Now, Liverpool has twice as many inhabitants as Boston, and at least three times as much business. Observe, then, the marvellous contrast : Liverpool, whirls ought to have thrice as much advertising as Boston, has only one twentieth part of the quantity, and the true proportion, in the advertising, when business and population ere taken into account, is as fifty or sixty to one in favour of the American town ! Scotland has 36 newspapers, which in 1828 published 108,200 advertisements, as c.ppears front the duty paid, amounting to 18,939/. On an average a single New York daily paper publishes 120,300 ! On a first view it will appear scarcely credible tkat a tax apparently trifling, which yields only 160,000/. per annum to the Treasury, should so completely annihilate the business of advertising; but the difficulty wid vanish when it is seen how this tax, small as it seems, affects the price. I have before me a scale of the charges for advertising agreed upon by a joint resolution of the publishers of the New York daily papers in 1821, and inserted in each journal. It is as follows :—lt may be necessary to ex plain that a square means a portion of a column in length equal to its breadth, which in the Americans papers gene rally contains 20 lives. Charge in the New York Daily Papers for an Advertise ment not exceeding 20 lines, or one square. American English money. money. Once! 75 cents. 3s. 3d.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL S. The opening premised a very dull day's work ; nor was the promise broken, as far as the amount went. A few engagements, however, of considerable interest, gave a somewhat-diffiirent feature to it. The Exeter party backed Mahmoud for both stakes, to some hundreds, and although they did not succeed in giving him nor aerials improve ment for the Derby, he made a decided &dvatete for the other, and at the finish was in high force ; they also took the odds freely about another horse kern the same stable (the colt out of Augustus). The four Derby favourites were pretty quiet till just before closing the room, when a staunch friend of Cressida took Its to 2 to 2001. ; and to the same sum at 8 to 1, about Mummer ; Mouse continues in state 4no—they neither take or bet the odds: Bruns- wicker, however, dropprAl off a point, and Tat Tyler went right to the back gro'md. Cressida is a shade better for the lliddleiworth. The betting terminated between six and seven o'clock, at the following prices : • RIDDLESIVORTth 7 to 4 agst Mr. Chifney's Cressida colt (taken) 5 to 1 agst Lord Sefton's Sal colt 5 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Mahmoud (taken) 10 to 1 agst Duke of.

IRISH ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ENNISKILLEN, MAicir W. SEDUCTION.—WLOUGULAN V. CROZIER. This was an action to recover damages for tl seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, a woman of no very prepossessing appearance, about thirty years of age. The intimacy between her and the defendant first took place in a field ; it had continued for four years, at the end of which, and not till then, did she become pregnant. He was her suitor in order to obtain her hand in marriage. The first intercourse, she deposed, took place against her consent. Her father never saw the defendant take liberties with her. He looked upon the defendant as her future husband. The defendant's father possessed about eight acres of land. F. Barton, Esq. was examined as to the moral character of the plaintiff's family. Cross-examined—Was chiefly in France ; attends the Assizes as a Grand Juror ; he does not take his standard of morality from the French beauties; he cannot, although an occasional visitant of France, speak as to the morality of the fair-haired hazel eyed French lasses; when a young man, perhaps he could say more concerning his own countrywomen. Judge VANDELEUR submitted the case to the Jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, :35/. There was a meeting of the London Literary Union Club on Wednesday week, at which Thomas CAMPBELL, Esq. presided. In the names already entered OR the list are to be found—CAurnKLL, Score, ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, and CROLY, amongst Poets; NEWTON, PICKEUSGILL, and WISTMACOTT, amongst artists ; and the authors of Pelham, Sydenham, Tre e i P ::c? tse TheA of n : fl e a n a in s ° li Hn u g l il tr an t h o e v7e n 'al a ils m etss e ; s A o n i r' O nia ' n C ls o t I N 'oe N T E4 hI I.
