THE PRUSSIAN NOTE OF OCTOBER. was precisely the fundamental thought which induced his Majesty to contract the alliance of the 20th April. " His Majesty, however, thinks he must hesitate in considering that plan as assured, because the Diet would pronounce after accomplished facts without its concur rence, and without knowing the exact bearing thereof, decisions, the practical signification of which for Ger many is not sufficiently demonstrated either as regards the objects to be attained or as regards the means which their execution would render necessary. " We think there is a.calmness which is not a sign of weakness, but which is, on the contrary, a sign of un shaken strength, and we have the confidence that if it is claimed by the interests and the really endangered rights of the common country, that strength will show itself with unanimity and fidelity. "The preceding observations will show, in a sufficing manner, to the Imperial Court how we ap preciate the attitude which its last communication announces. With sincere regret, we cannot conceal the fast that there exist differences in the views taken by the two Cabinets ; but we think we io not decAve ourselves, and the Austrian despatch seems to express the same opinion, when we think that these differences arise lessfrom adiflerent interpretation of the treaty of the 20th of April itself than from the fact that without our concurrence and that of the Confederation Austria has taken resolutions which may have a decisive hearing for the Empire, without having such for the other parties who signed the treaty of alliance. This does not appear to us the proper means of making the alliance serve all eientualities which may arise in the course of events, nor a method conformable to the important ob ject with a view to which it was concluded. "As far as we are concerned, we are resolved to ad here firmly to the allianCe, and especially to the second article of the treaty, without allowing ourselves to be deterred by .:reproaches or by insinuations, which we prefer leaving . wianswered. If others demand that modifications should be nude, we will conscientiouilly examine the propositions in that sense that may be ad dressed to us ; and in doing so, we will take account as well of our own interests as of those of Germany, and, at the same time, of the high importance we attach to ;se the position of Austria assured, and also to see the rest of Germany as closely united to her as possible. In presence of the demands formulated by Austria in so precise a manner towards the German Governments, we think we may abstain from all initiative in the ques tion as to whether Austria will in future make her pre position's, or whether, perhaps, the replies of the allies, conformable to our wish, will provide the substance and the form of the declarations to be made in common by the two Cabinets. We think, on the contrary, that we ought to reserve our ulterior decision on the subject of the propositions which might be made in this sense.. "As I have already said, you will leave a copy of this despatch with Count Buol. (Signed) "Du MANTECIFFEL. "To his Excellency Count Arnim, Minister of the King at Vienna." The following is a translation of the Prussian despatch of the 13th October, in reply to the Aus trian despatch of the 30th September : • " Berlin, Oct. 13, 1854. " On the evening of the 4th October Count Ebterhs.zy made a very extensive communication to site in the name of the Austrian Cat,inet. It consists of two de epatehes addressed to him by Count Buol, under date of 30th September, and of two circulars dated let October, destined to bring► those despatches to the knowledge of he German Governments. I annex copies of those documeete, although the first of those despatches is already known to you, it having appeared in a Vienna journal a new hours after it was in my power to present it to the King. " You will understand that the examination of his Majesty, and of his Government, was directed, not to , hat isolated despatch, but to the ensemile of the last skusti inn communication. " lye appreciate the frankness with which the Aus trian Cabinet characterises the minimum of the preten sions which, in the actual position of affairs, that is to say under reserve of ulterior more extended propositions, the Austrian Government thinks fit to raise towards the German Governments ; and as Austria has addressed expressly to the latter the question to ascertain whe ther at the Diet they will pronounce themselves in a sense favourable to those pretensions, eves should Prussia not accede to suck a proposition in that sense, we have paid consideration to our preceding cortiumai cations, which cannot have left any doubt, as far as concerns the manner in which the question is interpreted by us, and guided by the desire to avoid even the ap pearance of wishing to prejudice the free resolutions of our allies, by giving them a new expo:6 -of our views— we have, I say, thought it more consistent with the dignity of the Confederation and our own, consequently more suitable, not to exercise any influence on those decisions by a declaration on our pert. Even the extra ordinary precocious publication of the despatch above alluded to could not induce as te renounce this expectant silence. On the other hand, we attach great value to that circumstance, as a great number of our German allies hays not only asked us, bet, full of confidence, have expressed the desire to be informed if, and how, we should reply to the last Austrian communications, and what position we propose to assume in consequence. " Conformably to the orders of his Majesty the King, I have the honour to address the following obser vations to you, which I request you will communicate to Count Buol, leaving him a copy of this despatch, of which we also forward a copy confidentially to our other German allies. "The object of my communication, dated the 21st ult., was to ask of the Austrian Government seine mili tary and political explanations en the subject of the in fluence she would exercise in the principalities after the occupation. We deemed such explanations necessary ; and now that we have received them we are in a position to appreciate how far we can pronounce ourselves at the Diet in the sense desired by Austria—that is te say, to recognise that all the eventualities connected with the occupation of the principalities by Austrian troops, come under the second article of the treaty of the 20th of April, and of the Rodent eeolution of the 24th of July. " We were far from supposing that the Austrian Cabi net would denaturalise its relatiOns with Turkey and with the allies of that power ; but we wished to be enlightened upon the question, to know how ♦ustria understands those relations, what rights and what Ob ligations she attributes to herself in virtue of her treaty with Turkey, a treaty concluded without our concurrence, and without that of the Confederation ; and what mili tary arrangements might have been agreed upon to give Austria alone the protection of the principalities against the eventuality of another entrance of the Russia' troops—au eventuality which the 'declarations of Russia must make us consiler as far distant. " The surprise expressed is the despatch of Count Buol, that we should have attached an importance to the exclusive action et Austria, surprised us in our turn. We were ignorant that a special claim (titre) was neces sary to express the hope that Austria, even should its interests in the principalities not be always identical with those of the Confederation, should endeavour the ,:tore to uphold German interests in proportion as its influence was greater. " We shalt not allow this confidence of ours to be shaken by Count Buol's observation, as long as it is not in contradiction with the facts. On the other hand, we can no longer doubt that the question to knew if, and in what manner, the principalities shall again lbecome the theatre of hestilitits, depend■ upon military nice• sures, for the execution of which the guarantee of the German interests would in no way be taken into ac count, and that we cannot consider the consequences th e reof a s forming part of the provisions of the 2u Article of the treaty of alliance. " This view is by no means, as the Austrian despatch seemingly indicates, in contradiction with our anterior declarations ; conformable to the spirit and to the lotto' of the Federal legislatios, as also to the first article of the treaty of ailience, the only object of those declaration■ was the case of an unprovoked attack upon the Austrian ADVANT_ALGEOUS OFFER.—The Advertiser, who finds himself in immediate `want Two Hundred Pounds for nun , mooth', is anxious to borrow from a private 111 , 1 - v duel, up,n the security et' the lease of his I)l , s:epees, some years est:o,llslle I. the above stun at five per cent Any frimtleman cvnlng forward promptly will r•e offered the use of a flnt-r Ate ■addle-horse, free of Any charge, until the loan he repaid.

The Qaseen and the Prince Consort, immediately atter keeping the birthday of the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle, who completes her 14th year on the 21st Nov., will procresi with the royal family, as usual at this tin e et the year, to the Isle of Wight. The Court will remain at ()Aherne until about the middle of Dec. Here, at her Majesty's marine residence, and about this period, the Emperor and Empress of the French, it is expected, will pay their first visit to the 13ritieh Court. On the arrival of the illustrious visitors her Majesty and hie Royal Highness will accompany them to Windsor Castle, where a series of banquets, balls, concerts, &c., on a scale of magnificence, liberality, and splendour un equalled ia the present reign will be given. During the stay of the Imperial visitors at the Castle, which it is expected will be about six or eight days, the Eiaperor will- be.inetalled a Knight of the Garter, with all the porip and'eeremonies incidental on the admission of a foreign potentate into this most ancient and honourable fraternity. The three knights who have also been nominated to fill the vacanciee occasioned by the demise of the Marquis of Anglesea, the Marquis of Londonderry, and the Duke of Beaufort, namely, the Earls of Carlisle, Ellesmere, and Eglinton, will also be inetalled at the same time. Should the weather admit, there will be a review of the Royal Horse Guards aid other troop' in the neighbourhood of Win&or. but in the absence of eo many regiments which have gone to the East, and the lateness of the season, there will be no attempt at any grand military display. We under stand that the portion of the Castle occupied by the King of Prussia, when that Sovereign last visited Eng land, will be fitted up not only magnificently, but with every attention to comfort, for the express me of the Emperor and Empress and suite during their stay at Windsor. The insignia of the Emperor of Russia as a Knight Companion of this most noble and ancient order, con sisting of the banner, sword, mantle, and helmet, re• tains its position over one of the . stalls in the Chapel Royal of St. George ; but it will no doubt be removed before the Emperor of the French is installed it Knight Companion of this order. Whether Sir Charles Young, a' Garter King at Arias, will quietly remove the dis loyal knight's insignia, or whether, according to ancient cuatoin as described by Ashmole, they will be thrown into the aisle and surpod from the chapel by the choris ters front heymed the precincts of the castle, is not yet decided, ; but we believe it has been deterraiued to re move the insignia of the recreaat knight to make way for those of her Majesty's illustrious ally the Emperor Napoleon 111. territory. " We cannot regard a s actuall y founded the fear e; such an attack ; and when the Austrian circular on this subject alludes to the starch of the Russi an Guaris towards Poland, we will submit to the impartial jade ment of the very powers at war with Russia the ques tion, whether front the fact that Russia. in presence of hostile forces, partly on her territory a nd p artly threat ening her, has ordered her troops to h er frontiers, the conclusion can be drawn that she wishes to leave the defensive position which she has taken to assume the offensive " We do not the less acknowledge the gravity of the situation ; and his Majesty the King understands to their full extent the ditties which the care of the safety of Ger many on the eastern side imposes upon him against all eventualities. " As regards the four known points which were to form the basis of future peace, the position taken in re spect to them by the Government of the King has fie-often orteo been falsely and unkindly interpreted. We s u pp them :At St. Petersburg, although, as indicated in my circular of the 3d September, we did not fully under stand, in consequence of their general and indefinite character, hew they would prove of practical service to the interests of Germany. " We did so, bec:suee we thought they contained the seed of future negotiations of peace, having for object the durable tranquillity of Europe. Even after Russia had refused the bases, rather, perhaps, from rea sons et form than substance, and without allowing ourselves to be deterred by the susceptibility shown by Russia at our first support, we declared repeatedly that we could but regret the refusal, as we considered the four point s, not, it is true, as the sole pessible basis of peace, but as con taining elements which, sooner or later, would prevail. " We confidentially commu n i ca t e d that step to the Cabinets of London and Paris, a n d we added there to the declaration, that if the other po we rs desire it we could express ourselves in that sense in a new protocol, but with the express reserve that, no more than in the sig nature of the precinling proto co l s , we could not recog nise the contracted obligation o f a mi litary co-operation against Russia. Such are the ove r tures of the 6 th of last month, of whieli the Aust r i an desp a tch speak' as if the y " We totally rject th ose i ns i nua ti oe s ; were in contradiction with th e attitude taken be fore b y us at the Fed..ral Assembly. the objections which, in a German point o f v i ew , a ppear to ue suf f i c i n g not to recommend their obli ga to r y a d o ption by the D iet, must not, from the ver y cause o f the elasticity of their dispositiou dwelt up on b y A us t r i a , prevent us , in a European point of view, from giving them our moral suppert in every c: se that presents itself, and under con ditions to be stipulated by ourselves. " We attach the more va l ue t o the statement that w e were ready to decla re i n a f orma l manner that an errone ous opinion prev a il e d, not only in the public , but even in the cabinets, whi c h can on ly be explained by a volun tary false interpr e t a ti on , th a t Prussia prevented the meeting of the conference at Vienna. The European Powers precisely often reproach us with our German view of things in a manner which leads to the supposi tion that, because Prussia upholds that view, she is wanting in her quality of a great European power. We voluntarily avoided a diecnssion on this subject. " We perfectly understand our rights and our duties as a great European power, and not only will we fulfil the latter, but we will defend the former against every encroachment. Yet we entertain too high an opinion of the task of Germany, Closely united to her two great powers, to regard it as a prejudice against our position as a European power that we consider it one of our first duties to defend the interests of Germany in the political complications of the day. "The Austrian Cabinet, dividing now the four points, and only reeommending the adoption of two of them to the German Governments, thereby recognises that the interests of which the German Diet is the organ do not require the four points as an ensemble, each as was for mulated ley the exchange of the notes of the Bth of Aug. No German Government will deny that the free naviga tion of the Danube is a German interest, nor that the question of the preceding protectorate of the Danubian principalities might receive a solution mere favourable to the interests of Germany. It can therefore only be conformable to the views and intentions of Prussia that it should be expressed in a saitable form at the Federal Diet if Austria and our allies think it advisable. " When, on the other hand, Count Buol, in his con fidential circular, supposes that the dignity of the Con federation demands that it should alumnae at once a de termined attitude with regard to this European question and make a declaration which Linde it, so as not to allow its central organ to be accesed of complete apathy and inaction, it is only under reserve that we can join such a view. On more titan one occasion his Majesty the King has shown that he intones to assure tethe German Contederation a high influence amongst European States. " More than once the efforts made in this sense have been combated and have f ailed, and recentl y a g a inst t he almost which unanimous tionof th E an ur t u h p e Europe i n as a ter n ques tion question interestedGeropoi nearer Germany taken in its primiti ve limits.

A very little trouble and a very slight exertion of intellect would arable Govern meet to obtain regular information of any military movement in the Crimea, in 9 days at the outside. We say " would enable the Government," for the Austrian functionaries of the electric telegraph often refuse to re ceive and transmit the messages of English journals. It is now the 25th .of "October, and, for aught the public. know, Government has no news from the Crimea of a more recent date than the 3d of the month. 1 promise was given some time ago by the War Department that the news from the seat of war would be regulary com municated to the public without loss of time. Has Government really no intelligence from the Crimea of a later date than the 3d of October. when the public jour nals have received letters up to the Bth ? What is the date of the despatches brought by Lieut. Kirby on the night of Sunday last 1 We urge these questions not for the sake of what will superciliously be called a mere idle craving for tb y e latest news, but in the interest of truth, fair-dealing, and the great cause for which the country is now at war.

I have seen the guns described, and as I differ in opinion with your correspondent as to the cause of their bursting, I take the liberty of addressing a f“.• lines t. you, And enclosing an account of come experiment., which I recently tried on different rifle and c,rabine bullets, from which it appears that the results obtained, nearly 100 years ago, by Mr. Hutton, are very nearly accurate, .and that the mornentnm of a ball projected from a cannon or gun may be increased indefinitely, by simply increasing either the weight of the ball or th e length of the cannon ; but a practical limit is set t this increase of momentum by the strength of the cannon. It the weight of the ball be increased beyond a cer tain limit the cannon will burst rather than project the ball ; and it is to the fact that bullets of too great weigh , have been used, and not to a supposed tendency of tlst ball to a rotat my movement, that the bur Ain; of the gun is to be attributed. The theory of rifled bullets is simply as follows : A. rotation of the bullet round any axis, except one coinciding with the trajectory, will cause a deviation in a horizontal and ♦ertical plane, owing to the resist once of the air. _ _ In ordinary rifles a rotation is communicated to the ball round an axis coinciding; with the axis of the gnn or trajectory. In cannon balls this is impossible, owing to the great weight of the ball, which will destroy the groove of the cannon or the projections of thy ball. _ _ _ The next best thing has been proposed, and, I be lieve, accomplished by Lancaster's guns, which are only a 'modification of the egg-shaped ball proposed Sy But- ton—viz., to prevent the ball acquiring a rotatioi round any axis. This is effected by making the ship, of the gun and shell elliptical, so as to prevent any ro tation occurring in the discharge. danger, however, arises here ; if tho ball be too heavy the cannon will burst. In fact, I have proved, is a published paper (which I enclose) that the momentum of the ball varies as the square root of the weight of the powder, as 020 square root of the length of the gun, and as the square root o the weight of tke bullet jointly ; so that, to obtain r double momentum, with the same gun and same charg , of powder, we must use a ball of four times the weight This fact, established by experiment, proves that th, limit of weight necessary to burst the cannon must b, speedily reached. This, I believe, to be the case witl Lancaster's guns, and to be the great defect of this at tempt to produce an effect in cannon shot and shell equivalent to that produced in musket balls by rifling the bore. I would, therefore, suggest as a certain improvement of the success of which I entertain no doubt, that instea , of increasing the weight of the ba ll in the Lancaster gun. we should increase the length of the gun. Tke gut', which I saw at Woolwich did not appear to have th, requisite length for the very great diameter of the her and great weight of the hall. Requesting the irvertioi of the foregoing, as my mite towards the destruction o the Russian bugbear, I am, &0..

THREE COLO:MOLES VACANT.—By the death of Lieu, General Evrart, which took place on the 23d instant the colonelcy of the 67th Regiment has become vacant There are now three regiment , of infantry without 3, colonel, viz., the Bth, 50th, and 87th. We learn from good authority that the Viennese statements respecting Hartmann are false. Hartmann is safe is Constantinople, but suffering from illness. dington, Berwick, Linlithgow, and Peebles Militia Artil lery will shortly commence. The corps will be under the command of Colonel Hay, of Dunne Castle. —Edin burgh Courant. EXTRAORDINARY ORDERS //ROM AUSTRALIA. --It is gratifying to know that, while trade is comparatively dull in Carlisle, we have been favoured with several ex tensive orders from Australia. By the last overlai -, mail, Mr.Wilham Slater, steam-biscuit and bread inanu facturer, &c., of this city, received four orders, two re them of a very extensive character, and such as would do credit to any manufacturer in the kingdom. Last night we had the pleasure of seeing one of these order,- , made up. It consists of 90 very large cases, in which are enclosed about 6,500 boxes, containing an quantity of biscuits, nearly all of which are of the fines , and most expensive description. The gross weight is about 17 tons ; the cubic contents about 50 tons, or as ranch as could be carried by an ordinary sloop. Thi order will be despatched to Liverpool to-day (Friday) and forwarded to Australia with all possible speed. II is for an English house in the golden colony. The other large order is for a Scotch house. The former ha-- been executed in less than 10 deys, while the regular busines of the establishment has not been interfered with. Such an extensive trade is an honour to Carlisle. and could not fall into more deserving hands than those of our enterprising friend, Mr. Slater.—Carlisle paper. M. de Mercey, commissioner charged with the care of all matters connected with the Exhibition of th, Fine Arts at Paris for 1855, has given notice to the foreign committees that they should make known. as quickly as possible, what space the artists of their respective countries may require. The ques tion having been sent in as to artists being allowed to affix to their works the price of each, a negative answer has been given ; but a register will be kept ir which the prices will lie inserted. Both French and fo reign works of art will be received from January 16 to March 15 until midnight. The committees are to send in their notice of space, number of works, &a., before November 15. The supply of money yesterday was again more abun dant, and the prospect of a permanent increase of ease in the discount market seems greater than at any recent period. The rapid rise in wheat, however, will produce some effect in lessening the remittances of specie from the United States, while it will increase the amounts likely to be forwarded from this country to the Conti nent. According to the &deices received yesterday from America, although there was some business going OF in flour and grain for export, thi supply was greater than the demand ; and, if this was the ease under the prices which prevailed on this side a -month back, an active shipment may be looked for immediately the new' of our present rates shall have arrived out. The move ment will also be facilitated both from the United States and Canada by the decline in freight, which has been going on for some time. With regard to the Continent, it is understood that orders have been sent to Spain, where there is a large available surplus, while the pre sumption may else be entertained that Denmark, whence, for the past two or three years, we have been accustomed to receive nearly one-third as mush as from Russia, will still contribute a good quantity.—Tines. LONDON Tnonouonnenne.—Nothing short of a second route to the Bank of England, parallel with Cheap side and the Strand from Holborn, will be effec tive.

THE NEW STAMP ACT. The following is from Mr. Grain, a London notary. enclo,,ing a series of inquiries addressed to the Inland ReTenue•offiice, respecting various points of importance in the working of the new stamp Act, and the answer re• ceived : Change-alley, Oct. 24. Sir,—l beg to forward you the enclosed correspondence for the information of the public, and would call particu lar attention to the opinion held by the Board of Inland Revenue, that, "as regards the duty on bills drawn abroad in sets, payable in this country, each part of the bill is liable to the duty on an inland bill." As respects such bills, the understanding is certainly general in the city that, provided one part of a set bear a s t a mp equivalent to the duty payable on an inland bill, the holder is not bound to put any stamp on any of the parts which he may annex thereto. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. GRAIN. QUESTIONS REGARDING THE STAMP ACT, 17 AND 18 OF VICTORIA., CHAP. 83. Tho I.At clause, repealed' from and after the 10th of Oc tober, 1834, the laws then in force imposing certain stamp duties payable in Great Britain and Ireland in respect of inland bills of exchange and prerniesory-notes, and new duties are imposed in lieu thereof. t thi n Therespaece e b n i e o e f o e n x t c o b i a m n p ge os , e for drawn awn the first time, a s outof theundinto,tyt t K r i , n a g e d: b t t r i 0 , a b d u , t b n u o t pay referenceableoirs negotiated made to P w r iTi i n as tf l eOn ° i t ted ,Koimngindgeimui.thAinrtehseucohpeprraottnioinssoorfyt-hneotneaswto be act, t a r n este at t h l e a r s ef t o o re t wholly exempt from duty? The 4th clause throwE a protection over an innocent holder of a bill of exchange, which, though purporting be drawn Abroad, may have been act:n:llly drawn within the LTnited Kingdom, provided the new duty shall be paid by the party taking the same. Will this protection be ex tended to a promissory-note in the case of its purporting, though incorrectly, to have been made abroad, but the colder whereof shall, on its coming to his hand, have forth with annexed and duly cancelled an adhesive bill of ex , ,;hange stamp, of value to cover a bill of exchange of the .ante amount as such promissory-note? The sth clause requires the holder of a bill of exchange, drawn out of the united kingdom, and not having a proper adhesive stamp affixed thereon, to fix an adhesive stamp o h n i ts t p f r r o e i c n l u t ( h l n c e o r u c n h t a r n y t sa 'withbr o tp a ha d ep f ed r r o u, m t d nid r n a dn vr ioc i t n a t g bey b d previously to presenting suc h bill f or pa y men t, & c .

Will it, then, be sufficient, u the case of a bill, for example, for 3001., drawn, or pur porting to be drawn, in a set of three from a foreign coun ,ry, and paphle abroad, if the hohler, who hss received only two of the par• • of which such bill consi b:, put tie .. , ihesive stamp of Is. on each of such two parts, if he trans fer both, or on one only, if he transfer but one, the other emaining in his hands? This is important, as it frequently happens that the first is sent to the drawee abroad fur acceptance, and never ,ernes into :his country, and the second or second and .bird are negotiated here. Is the Gth clause to be construed as having exclusive reference to bills drawn within the 'United Kingdom? Clause 10 allows draughts to be drawn on adhesive re ceipt stamps. Would a banker be warranted in paying a Iraught " to order" drawn on a receipt-stamp, the amount sf duty being impressed on the paper, and not indicated ay an adhesive receipt stamp ? Must the weeds "on demand" be expressed in draughts irawn on the penny draught stamp ? Attention is called to this point, as draughts payable on the amount being de manded are frequently expressed to be drawn " at sight" ui " presentation," or in foreign languages in words corre 4pondin with these terms ;" or an order is simply given thus—" Pay A. 8., o r order. If the duty on a bill of exchange drawn from abroad le paid by means of two or more stamps of the proper de oomitation, and taken together of suffieient amount, in .tead,t of one only, will that be considered a compliance with the act ? If a bill of exchange dated from abroad, and payable in this country, be drawn in a set, must tho duty be paid by . nse or more stamps on one part of the set, or ma se y parate stamps be put on the several parts, provided the aggregate iuty thus paid be equal to or exceed the single stamp pay tide on an inland bill of the same amount ? The undernientioned penny stamps have been issued : An adhesive stamp, bearing the words "Dranght stamp ; one penny." A die stamp, with the words "Draught on demand." Au adhesive receipt stamp. A receipt stamp impressed by a die. A bill or note stamped impressed by die. A bill stamp impressed by a die, and bearing the words, '' Foreign bills in sets, one penny." "An adhesive foreign bid stamp bearing the words, •‘ Foreign bill drawn out of the United Kingdom." Would not the purposes of the revenue be answered and be public convenience consulted by the issue of two stamps only of a penny each—one being impressed by a ..tie, aid the other adhesive ; abolishing all the above anti aerated distinctions, and making the stamps alike applia -able to bills of exchange, promissory-notes, cheques, kraughts, orders for the payment of money; or receipts? " luland Revenue, Somerset-house, London, Oct. 21st, IS-5.1. Sir,—The Board of Inland Revenue have had before hem your letter of the 12th inet., submitting a paper con ainiug several questions relative to the operation of the stamp Oct, 17th and 18th Victoria, c. 83. 'I am directed o state that promissory-notes, if drawn out of the liuited tin jiom, are not subject to any duty. The fourth sec ion of the act does nit extend to promissory-notes, but .uly refers to bills of exchange. With regard to your inquiries relative to the fifth 'sc ion, I have to state that, rot only ailbeeive stamps can be need ur deneting the duty on bills drawn out of the United 'iingilorn, merchants Abroad cannot draw their bills on tamped forms. The holder iu this country of bills drawn .broad in sets should put the adhesive stamp on each part his possession, and, if not drawn in sets, the foreign 'ill stamp of the saute amount as the duty on an ielaud bill of exchange. " Thu 6th section refers exclusively to bills drawn within ho United Kingdom payable abroad. The 10th section, relative to the use of receipt stamps to ;enoto the duty of one penny on draughts payable to the fearer or to enter on demand, or the use of draught stamps er receipts, refers entirely to adhesive stamps, and there 'ere a draught cannot legally be drawn on paper with an • mpressed receipt stamp. I may obs..rve that the words " on demand" ought to be -xpreesed in draughts drawa on the penny stamp, but a ,ill at sight, or on presentation, is liable to the ordinary •uty on a bill of exchange. With regard to affixing two or more adhesive stamps on pills drawn abroad, it is held that it would roe be contrary so law to do so, but the safer course is to nsa one stamp only to denote the duty payable. As regards the duty on bills drawn abroad in sets, pay- Able in this country, I have to state that. each part of the bill is liable to the duty on an inland bill of exchange. With reference to your concluding inquiry, as to whether one stamp impressed to denote the duty of a penny and an adhesive stamp of the like amount could not be used to denote indiscriminately the duty of that amount payable in receipts, bills, promissory notes, or draughts, I have to state that your proposal would be inconsistent with the objects for which the present stamps are provided. The receipt stamps are both impressed and adhesive, be cause it tiny happen that persons could not immediately procure, when wanted, the former description of stamps, but they can be always provided with the latter. The impressed stamps are, however, generally preferred by porsuns with the stamps, and are then saved the trouble if affixing and cancelling them on each occasion of their use. The two descriptions of stamps, therefore, promote :he public convenience, and facilitate the means of cern plying with the law. The use of an adhesive draught stamp for a receipt, and of a n adhesive receipt stamp for a draught, is permitted by a provision introduced into the last act of Parliament, with a yiew to the public convenience; but a single stamp is now in preparation to be used for either of theeo purposes. signed i f t , i ) t r pLe ne ( 1, 1 ills draw ls in n o ~r ec i , g , un n b t ri l v ls tn in e s h i it de i; not intended th at adhesive stamps d .be applied. It is necessary, also, that there should be an adhesive stamp for bills drawn out of this country liable to the same *mount of duty. I have, perhaps, nnneceeearily entered into this detailed ~xplanatiou, showing the necessity for the different kinds of stamps ; but it may be more satisfactory to you to know he grounds on which they are provided.
