On this Tab e the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums. without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon; or the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society.

Capital-500,0 , 01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each ci mss of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elem !nts on which to proportion Premium to risk in lasuraace against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu ranee Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted ~ n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as s, , curity against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant atialvsis of its own experience, from time to tie - e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investiga ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pr aperty on moderate f erms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

C 0., CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTR 1-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURT FL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanzl„ and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/. —making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1949, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proosals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,93/. 2s. of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125 6 1. 6s. 6d.: Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 39. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the c nnmencemt of the Company to the letf June last, assurarres were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 123 Gd., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and 'ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Arehbish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Evecine de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances; but In An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chaifman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

MEETING AT 111 E LONDON TAVERN. Last eight a nutnereu-ly ationdel reereng wee he 1.1 at the Lendon Tavern, for the purpose of a loteine Beres to obtain the aefeiti. n of the tax on p.per, Mr. Cowan, 3LY., i I the chair. The CHU:MAN seid that it we; with some little re luctance he consented to preside at that mee,ieg. because it might naturally be suppfee I that a parson wits, had a peceniery int( rest, or who e! .1 supposed to lave such an interest, had a private interest in the repeal of the tax en paper. There wcre those, ho sever, who thought that they had an interest in the maintenance of the tax, and that it would be injurious to them to hive it removed.— (No, no.) That wits their opinion, not hie But the pe cuniary consideration was not the only point involved. He himself wished to be freed from the restrictions im pesed on the paper manufacturers, but if the trade was a monopoly, the sooner it was got rid of the better for the country at large.—(Rear, hear.) He would leave it to others to address them on the injury which the tax did to literature, and would confine himself to giving a few illustrations of the enormous amount of most useless labour which the manufacturers of paper were called on to perform, and the superfluous waste of time to which they were subject from the detention of the manufactured article in the mill. At the beginning of the century there were twenty-seven exciseable articles, of which there remained but six or sewn at the present time. Of these there was but one article which bore on the face of it prima facie evidence of the duty having been charged by means of the label fastened on it. That article was paper. The absence of this labsl subjected the manufacturer to a tax of 10/ ; it used to be 1001. There was but one article subject to detention for a sin gle moment after the duty had been charged. That ar ticle was paper. Yet one would think that it should be the other way, in consequence of paper bearing the labsl on the face of it. But the contrary was the fact, fur the Excise obliged the manufacturer to keep his paper 24 hours :before he could send it out; and this time was calculated from the period when the officer visited his work. The process of charging the paper Ni as also a peculiar one, for the paper label which was pasted on must be dry before the duty was charged. When this had to be done with regard to every description cf paper and on every ream ; and when, moreover, it had to be weighed and wrapped up by the officer it imposed an amount of labour and consumed a quan tity of time, which was very singular in this so-called free trade country. If so much time was uselessly expended in the manufacture of any other articles—such as gloves, for instance—it would not be allowed to continue a week, for the voice of the country would be instantly raised against it.—(Hear, hear.) It was because the paper manufacturers were a small body scattered over the country, and were not concentrated in a particular locality like the manufacturers of Bir mingham and Sheffield, that these unfair restrictions were allowed to continue.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to exhibit to them a specimen of paper which had :been manufactured some time ago in the county of Gloucester. The cost of the raw article was 2s. a cwt., or 21. a ton. It was made, in fact, from wheat straw, a fact !or which he could vouch. But hear it—all agricultural Protec tionists and squires—the duty was 14s. 93. on an ar ticle which cost in its raw state but 2.e—(Hear, hear.) The article which he had shown them was deemed paper by the Excise because water was mixed up in its prepa ration. It was reduced in bulk, and became paper or millboard. Here was another article, which was not called paper, because it was manufactured in a dry state; it was not formed into a state of pulp, and, consequently, it superseded the enormously-taxed article, which was formed with water. The duty was 700 or 800 per cent. on the original value of the article. The duty on cotton wool was repealed by Sir Robert Peel in cones pence of the strong representations made by the manufacturers of England, although the duty was only five-sixteenths of a Id, per lb.; he did not object to that, because he thought the tax was unjust. But the raw materials of their London journals came from the sweepings of the mills, and to load it with a tax of lit. her lb., together with the restrictions he before alluded to, was a stigma on a country that prided itself on its freedom. —(Hear.) One of the worst features of the tax was that it was a tax on labour.—(Hoar.) They were in the habit of ridiculing the Chinese because they were in the habit of confining the female foot within the smallest limits. But did nut they follow a somewhat similar course in this matter when they c intint d the la blur of that class within the smallest pus,ibfc b , and -? lie had been told that 30,000 females found 1 CIL p. yinent in Paris in the manufacture of pap, r be xes, and that when ladies made purchases their goods ee re not hand. d to them in whity-brown tercels, but in tastefully made paper boxes. These boxes came into this country at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent., whilst there was a tax ef 1001. or 2001. per cent. on the raw material if manu factured at home.—(hear.) He knew that paper of various descriptions came into British !loos, and was sent into British colonies free f eel' duty to the dis placement of that which was manufactured in this coon try, and carrying those beautiful E xeise hieregly plaice which no. eztle them pass off as a real British article. hid said that 30,000 tenrales found employment in Puri:, in the manufacturiof paper box- a; and in the present day, when they read of such sad and deplorable details of female wretchedness in this country, owing to the want of em ployment, was it right or just to that suffering portion of the community to discourage a branch of industry which would give employment to females in the construction of useful articles, but from which they were now de barred by this vile and monstrous law?—(Hear, hear.) Another class of sufferers from this law were the letter press printers. He knew that they suflered great pri vations at times both in Edinburgh and iu London, and that they bore their trials with unexampled pate nce.— (Hear, hear.) But he hoped the day was not far distant when the press of this country would be made really free, and liberated from those trammels which now con• 'fined it.—(Cheers.) They had great encouragement. Up to 1839 the Government had the monopoly of print ing the Holy Scriptures in Scotland. But after the monopoly was abolished there was an enormous demand for the Holy Scriptures, and they sold to three times the extent they did previously.—(Hear, bear.) The mono poly still existed in England, and although they pro fessed tr make it free from any tax, individuals were enabled to acquire spacious demesnes, in consequence of the monopoly being kept up.—(Hear, hear.) The time for this movement was well chosen. A half century of great change and extraordinary progress had just closed, and he rejoiced that the commencement of the present half century was marked by a movement for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) The penny postage—a work which entitled Mr. Rowland Hill to be considered one of the benefactors of the world—(Loud cheers)—came into operation in the last half century. The design of the beautiful palace in Hyde park had been conceived, and all honour was duo to the illustrious Prince who originated it.— (-' Hear, hear," " No, no," and hisses.) lie did not wish to excite discussion on that point. He would only say that the continuance of the tax on paper was unjust, and he rejoiced that it would be no longer necessary for them to go to Prime Ministers or Chancellors of the Exchequer, from whom they might get but a chilling reception, but to the people.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad the venue was changed from Downing-street to the House of Commons, and he hoped his Hon. Friend Mr. Gibson would renew next session his motion for the emancipation of the country from the trammels by which it was so unjustly crippled.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY read the following letters from Mr. Hume, M.P.:— " Burnley Hall, Nerfolle, Dec. 26, 1850. " Sir,—l have this day received your letter request ing that I will allow my name to be on the committee of the Association for the Total Repeal of the Excise Duty on Paper; and I request that you will assure the committee that I concur entirely in the policy of that repeal, and am ready to afford every assistance in my power towards that most important object. More the receipt of your letter, I had wiitten pri vately to Sir Charles Wood, calling his fete! Con to the window tax and the tax on paper, as the two first taxes that ought to be removed; but I have not had any answer from him as yet. In addition to the reasons as signed in the resolutions of the 21st inst. fur the repeal of the paper tax, I have stated to the Chancellor of the Exchequer the importance of the repeal to the cause of education and national instruction, towards which the total repeal of excise laws on paper would be most im portant. 'Whilst the general desire of the well-informed persons in the country is now directed to remove igno rance, to lessen crime, and to raise the moral and social condition of the masses of the people, by education; and whilst the Parliament is voting annually 300,0001. from the taxes towards the education and improvement of the people, it is an error and inconsistency, quite unpardon able, to retain upon paper the heavy tax now levied, and thus to counteract the very object which the wisest policy of Parliament has declared it necessary for the public welfare, &c., to be followed. That reason alone ought to induce the House of Commons to repeal the tax upon paper; but, when all the other reasons stated in your resolutions, ard also in a pamphlet this day pub lished by Charles Knight, eetitted the 'Case of the Authors as regards the Paper Deny,' are brought for ward, I am sanguine of success. If the committee shall be of opinion that my name es a committeeman would be useful to forward the object, I very willingly agree to their request; but as I cannot attend to the proceedings of the committee, I do not wish to incur any r eponi bility as to expenses. I shall not be in Londobnhii Ii tii hc first week in February, but, when io London, • 11 ~. cor dially co-operate with the committee f or the total repeal " I remain, your obedien t , s , e f os y s ant r , li " Mr. George Huggett, Secretary, ezc. " Burnley Hall, Norfolk, I) . c. 23, 1350. " Sir,—l request you will state my regret that en gagements preclude my being in London to attend the entirelytastticle of re concur in meeting on Thursda p y ol n i c e y x , t, , a b n u d t t removing the the propriety, the 'excise duty from paper, and giving that branch of ma nufacture, and all the others that are effected by the tax, the chance of fair competition with the world. The en tire repeal must be obtained; and the necessary publicity they new stood on she geoulid:?fper, tad h e a1 , F „0 6 ,1 uli from Doing.etreet to the aster of Dueuing-street public.—(llear.) lie would call their attentiets to the nature and ration of this tea. There was a . - etTereuce in the operation of a tax upuu the value of the article. In the case of gold and silver manufactueem, for instance, the tax would bear principally upon the article itself; but in paper the tax was upon refuse, disused, and discarded matter, which, by the application of la bour, the papermaker converted into useful and elegant productions. To what other purpose could rags be turned? None. But the art of the papermaker trans forced the refuse of the dung-heaps into the elaborate ornaments of the writing-table. In the case of cotton the Government properly repealed the tax, for the raw material could not live with the burden. In this case 300 per cent, lay upon the labour of the conversion of the worthless raw material into articles of value and utility, and could it be conceived that such an amount of tax should press upon worthl.-F.4 rngs through the pro- C7SS of nr tnutaCture, to the Oingiiiticebt papier machi ornaments ahtch adomei t tiv habitations of the wualt try.

Paper carried thought from mind t• mind, and was the medium through which knowledge passed from one class to the other. hooker had said that a man should live wisely and virtuously, but that he must first find the means to live. Every tax that pressed upon human food detracted from knowledge. Suppose a man had not to pay 2s, 2id. win a pound of tea, be would buy a Dickens's Household Words, or perhaps would buy a newspaper. Then there was the tax upon the newspapers which must come off, but as they were met to consider only the repeal of the duty on paper, he would not pursue that subject. Every other tax might be considered at other times and places, but it must be remembered that a penny tax ou newspapers only pressed upon one class of knowledge—(No, no) must be given to the evils resulting to society from the tax, t) assist us in Parliament in demanding the repeal. " I remade your obedient servant, " JOSEPH HUME. " Mr. George Huggett, Secretary, &c." Mr. J. CASSELL moved the liret resolution, as fol io,. : —" Toat in the opinion of this meeting the duty on paper is pinplianicAlly a tax upon and industry, is it inert area the cost of an article of general con intppft n, and limits the lief 1 of pro:lnc:ion, thus inter tering with the ereployment of the clpital and labour ing,gal in a great variety of trades and occupations, and istr le,s directly hut mot injuriously the in terests of the puhite et large; arid th a t in i t s e ff e cts it IS vexatious and incept:l, necessarily creating riela.ys and difliculti,s in the wcty, tenth of the manufac tun r and the consumer." The object they had in view Tr as identified, not only with the commercial trosi,erity of the country, but with its moral and intellectual wai f /le, and as such was deserving of the c;-operation of all wino were intcrest ,, d in the national weal.—(lloar, heir.) It was a Tiestion, also, in which the labour of the people was invOlvt d, a; it threw thousands Out of em ployment, who but for this tax would be occupied. In these opinions he fully concurred, but ho supported the movement, on the ground also that it would he in ac cordance with sound policy to effect the removal of this tax. If paper was dug in reams out of a (parry, this tax would be unjust, considering the purposes to which it was applied.—(Hear, hear.) When they recollected that the beautiful fabric on which they entered their correspondence, and upon which the volumes and the newspapers they read were printed, was made from a material which was valueless in itself, being, in fact, the very refuse of their workshops, and that it was by labour alone that it acquired its value, it could not be denied that this tax was unjust and illegiti mate, and he did net know how a Government pro fessing to be the disciples of economic science, and really desiring to free labour from the trammels by which it was beset, could support the continuance of such a tax. (Hear, hear.) If the British public only understood the question - in it. commercial bearings, in dependent of it. effect upon knowledge, he did not be lieve they would endure the continuance of the tax for another day. It was not the individual engaged in the manufacture of the article who alone suffered; every branch of industry in which paper was employed was affected likewise.—(Hear, bear.) It entered most ex tensively into other branches of trade, even to the manu facture of button moulds and hooks and eyes. He had seen an extract in a Birmingham paper in which it was stated that 30,0001. had been paid in duty in manufac turing what cost only 9,6001, and that one merchant alone paid 600/. for the paper in which the goods which he sent out to America were wrapped up.—(Loud cheers.) He believed that if the tax were taken off the consumption of paper would be doubled, and he be lieved there,were not less than 160,000 persons engaged in its manufacture. See how unjustly this tax affected the publisher. He used a certain quantity of paper, but suppose only half the impression was disposed of he got no drawback on the half that remained unsold.— (Hear.) He was in the habit of publishing a great many almanacs, and to a very great extent; but, sup pose that some thousands of them remained unsold he got no consideration whatever. The tax to the manu facturer was lkd. per lb., and 5 per cent. added; but the tax to the public was higher, because it was a tax upon a tax. Mr. Cassell then referred to the amount of ca pital employed in the manufacture of paper by the makers of tha article, after whom came the wholesale stationer, who required a large amount of capital to put him in a position to transact his business with the mauu facturers, and thus, in the aggregate, a great amount of capital was invested in this department of our manu factures, Those engaged in it must have not only a pro fit upon the material they used, but upon the amount of tax they paid. The wholesale stationers had often bad debts upon their books, and half of those debts they had paid to the Government in taxation, for the Go veremant had no bad debts, and no risks; they took good care of that, and consequently the public must bear them.—(Hear.) Therefore, as far as regarded the public it was not merely a tax of 20 per cent , upon pap er , b u t a t ax upon a ll concerne d with it. He devoted himself to this cause because he looktd upon paper as the means of communicating knowledge to the people. On that ground he took his stand, and he should rejoice if the movement was sue cessful in knocking off one of the trammels which en thralled the press, and he hoped the day was not far oft when the press of England would be entirely free.— (Hear ; hear.) It had been said that the working classes were not interested in the repeal of the tax, and that the repeal would not affect them much; but he coatkded that the working classes Mt very much the oppressive bearing of this and the other taxes upon knowledge.— (Hear, hear.) If it were not for this tax, the people of England would be suLplied with the higher class of fi•erature, at prices wi hin their moans of buying. Ff,r himself he was only an amateur printer, kno - s i:rg little of details, but using the printing press as the means et diffusing inform ition throughout the kingdom. 1F felt that this tax crippled his efF);.ts in this respect. lle was publishing a history of England f tr the working cllsses, which was brought out in sixpr nay volumes ; and when the work was cAnpleted the tax paid to the Government would not be It as than 200/. Ti the tax were repelled it would eneble the publishers of cheap literature to employ toed pay the first authors of the day, and to is sue their pubincritiorir in a neat and hanuseine garb that would ad nil the shelties of the working classes. lie could tell them that there was nearly 3001. of taxation upon every impression of the Working illan's Friend. It had been alleged that if the tax were taken off the country would be flooded with the vilest publications; but his opinion was pre cisely the reverse, for he believed if the tax were taken off that the people of England would not be bamboozled with cant and balderdash; they would demand good and sound literature—(Hear, hear)—and if it acre given to them they would understand it- As it was they would prefer the translation of French literature to our 'own bad and trashy writing. In his own case he had given iu the Working Man's Friend an opportunity . to the working classes to write in that periodical for themselves, and the result had been that 596 articles had been furnished by the working men of England in the course of ten mouths.—(Hear, hear.) Ile had not been able to insert the whole of those articles, but he had printed and published 130 of them, all of . which had been contributed by blacksmiths, colliers, and almost all sorts of working men. To those mon he had awarded prizes and 130 books in payment of their w; iting, and 130 volumes had been given away. In no case had he been called upon in the distribution for a low class of literature, but on the contrary for the very highest that could be com manded. It was evident, therefore, that if the working classes possessed a cheap and healthy literature they would buy their magazine or newspaper to read at home instead of going into all sorts of places to spend their money. Ile could not but feel anxious for this move ment, and could not see why it should not be successful; for how c uld a Government resist such an appeal? The Government had taken off the duty on various inanfae tures—for instance, from leather, glass, and bricks, and from foreign wood to be made into furniture—and had even taken off the duty of 5 -16ths of ld. upon raw cotton. Therefore, looking to these circumstances, and to the purposes to which paper was applied, he thought the Government could not resist this appeal. In 1834 the amount of paper paying duty was 70,589,0001 b., and in 1946, after the duty had been reduced, the quantity upon which duv was paid was 127 millions, so that the con sumption had increased upwards of 80 per teat. If the duty were totally repealed the consumption would be doubled only in the way of education. He appealed to all who were interested in the moral elevation of the people to unite in th© object of that meeting. The Go ,vernment might wish to retain this and all other taxes impeding education, but if they resisted this appeal they would stand forward convicted of hypocrisy. They voted 100,000/. for education, but they took 300,000/. from that which should communicate education to the people. He appealed to the mechanibs' institutes to support this movement, and locked even to the mi nisters of the gospel for sanction and co-operation. He should do all in his power to help the movement, not only as one pledged to free trade, but as one who wished to see the elevation of that class from which he himself had sprang.—(Cheers.) Mr. PETER BonTuwack seconded the resolution. In this time of largely diffused knowledge, and consequently of widely differing opinions, there were points in the wide field of political science upon 1 7 f. G h tun l io r ri s rvs h i enocr t ron h un if e inr to rtmyl :ownhi opi nions could not exist. The question they had met a consider seemed to him to be one of those polle n (Hear, hear.) The object was to decide whether lon peal should be made to her Majesty 's working classes ensuing session, as their first duty to the . ° tee reported. That honour they had in to the commerce and manufactures o . whe ther they meant to pay the debt of h the Th mostaThat Commit tee urgent curred when Sir H. Parnell 's Consort Committee sat for the purpose of inquiring h of all the excise duties the people third was paper.—(Hear, first was glass, claim repartee p u o p r o t e n d t the h r e G e o Government r a n toh m s e s ° e t : e for reief. duties — the Government of that day, like certain thought that there was nothing like h th e e ar. s ) econ T d he leh wise persons, thou,. a c c , c n o a r , d .in in n gly thteheyGboevgearnnmewnitt,h because leather. lieleathedri.l annodt that was after all a very good beginning. The Govern ment ne xt repealed the duty on glass, and all would re member the clovent speech of the late Sir R. Peel on that occasion; and the Premier had referred to the Crystal Palace now eree t e d in Hyde-park---(Some expres sions of (11314-L10—up on which there appeared to be some difference of opinion in the meeting—(Hear, hear) —but here was,certainly a "great fact," that a glorious build• log had beets made of glass, and assuming the object of that building to be approved of, ho appealed to them whether when the duty was on they could have a palace erected of glass? It would have been impossible unless that duty had been rep aled.—(Elear, hear.) From this might be seen what advantage arose from the repeal, which had enabled a large mass of labour to be employed upon an object which a former age had not foreseen. But all the arguments applicable in favour of the repeal of the duties on leather and glass applied with tenfold force to the case of paper. No wonder the Govern ment had begun at the wrong end in the repeal of those taxes, for that was always the way with Governments. They were tolerably sure to begin at the wrong end, and so they had in the cases of leather ,, glass, and paper. But —while the paper tax was a burden upon all. Ile was told by Mr. Crompton, the paper manufacturer, that a meeting bad been held in Manchester for the repeal of the tax, and that 2001. hail been collected to carry out the movement. He hoped they would all unite to effect the repeal of the obnoxious tax. Let them direct their energies upon this object alone, and when it was abo lished the other taxes on knowledge would soon give way.—(Hear.) It was stated by Mr. Crompton that the paper was detained in the mill by the Excise longer than it took him to buy the raw material and manufacture it into paper.—(Hear.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. PEDDER moved the next resolution r—" That this meeting is further of opinion that the duty en paper, by adding to the cost, and consequently in creasing the price of books, newspapers, and periodi cals, impedes the progress of knowledge, and education of the people." He regretted that there were any per sons amongst the paper trade and wholesale stationers who opro,ed this motion, as it appeared from the open. ing observations of the cheireaan that some of them did. But any class interest of that kind would give way before the perseverance] of the people.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution which he proposed referred particularly to the injury done by the tax on paper to the dissemination of knowledge. There was no doubt it had such an effect, and it was en that ground he opposed the tax. The injury of the tax to labour, im portant as it was, sunk into insignificance as compared with the injury of the tax as it affected knowledge. Let but the people get access to knowledge of a sound kind, and they would then be able to take care that no taxes should seriously interfere with their comforts.—(Hear.) A higher class of literature would be presided tor the people, and the vile class of literature on which they now fed would be pushed from its place.—(Hear, hear.) At present but few respectable writers would run the risk of the responsibility of entering upon the field of cheap literature. But do away with this tax, and the higher class of writers would then be induced to cater for the letter tastes of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Pedder concluded by reading an extract from Mr. C Knight's recent pamphlet, showing the evils of the tax on paper as it affected the spread of knowledge amongst the working c lams. Mr. Leestersr, p: op ieleor of the Illustrated London News, seconded the resolution. He considered that the evils'of the taxes on paper had been much understated. Oilethe re e luCon being put, Mr. lloraoa.xx rote to inure the following addition by way of amendment:—" That this meeting is further of opinion that the stamp duty on newspapers and the advertisement duty, by adding to the cult, and cones quen•ly increasing the price and deteriorating the qua lity:of books, newspa2ere, and periodical., impedes the progress of knowledge cud- education a the people." !Ills was au addition rather than amendment, and he hoped it would rot be considered us being offered for the urpose of opposition. lie was reedy to endorse every thing that had been said with regard to the tax on paper, but evry word that had been umied applied with grosser lurce to the two Nxes name I in the amendment than to the tax which was alone referred to in the reso lution.—(hear, ar.) The resolutioi , , with lie amend ment Et iched, was mut e likely to enlist the eneral smptiiihy of the people. (Ili•ar, hear.) It vrinild prertiv, this from being consul-red a class Inorsinelit, and wi utd lerce it to the dignity of one reposing on public prit.cipl , >.—(llear, hear.) He be ll( red that those ho otiginut , the resolution meant well to the working ela‘ses.: but, as Dr. Johnson said, then the more they ifaca.it the better.—({tear, hear, and laught,r.) Ot Iste . years the public interest bad suf fered from there being too many parties.—(llear, hear.) He wanted that this question should not suffer from there being too many parties. There was no necessity for forming a separate party to carry this question in its larger aspect, for the people of this country were al ready on one aide.—(Cheers.) He believed that the stamp on newspapers not only kept knowledge from the people, but it caused their political terms to be imported from France. There was no room for the free growth of their genuine national language. Some gentlemen said that this measure would give the people employ ment, but the fact was that the people had too much work to do.—(Bear, hear.) It they looked well at the question it would be found that by proper com bination less work might be done for the same payment, arid then the surplus might fairly fall to the share of the unemployed. There were certainly good cheap publications —as the Household Words— but what the people wanted was the political knowledge which would save them from depredation.—(Cheers.) They were not refused their rights, because they bad not read the Penny Cy'opeedia or Chanibers's .Journal but because they had not the necessary politi cal information for legislation. They ought, therefore. to be given information in connexion with the events of the day and hour.—(Hear, hear.) The gentlemen ou the platform well knew that the poor man could not now obtain a newspaper. Only the rich man could have a newspaper, and was the working man, when he was condemned to feed upon garbage., to be blamed for the depravity of his taste ?—(Cheers.) Mr. Milner Gibson would put the whole question before the Government and the House of Commons, and it would be shown pre sently there was a chance of all three of these proposi tions being carried. He deprecated confining -the move -meut to the repeal of the paper duty alone, and advo cated the inclusion of the repeal of the other two duties in their demand, because it would make the question more general and natural. Mr. COLLET seconded the ame a i n d d( min re t e , r f i o n, r g. t ) he H r sa s b o e n . that a tax was laid on the working man by the opera tion of these duties. The working classes of this eeun try would meddle with politics.—(Cheers.) Rightly or wrongly, wisely or foolishly, usefully or mischievously , they would have something more to d t o hoen w y it wr h anoaadr t l h ldi e almni l t a eert, than to obey them.—(Cheering.) At the risk even . of their interests , and even of their lives, fere with matters of law and go ve r nm ent , de pended upon the Government, whether that interference should be for goou or r efo evil,- a p r l u e t ms udigli7 ditiot listen to charlatans some (-t remarks upon the unstamped i f i o a r r e t they e a y i c th ou m ld r. n c o h t that if the people had a perfectly and rtuaeka.freeApftreersss,othey would a paper called the Free • holder, and shoning prev, and giving the y the st what an enormous amount of duty holder, would be due from those to the Government were it en forced, he qu estioned whether it was wise to appeal f o r an a b r ogation o f th e paper duty only, without including or e with it an application for the repeal of all the taxes on knowledge. The CHAIRMAN said that he believed all concurred in the opinion that the proposition of Mr. Holyoake was rather an addition than an amendment. As he and the meeting generally approved of the object it had in view, there would be no objection to its forming part of the resolution.—(Cheers.) Mr. AIILNER Ginsoze, M.P.,.said he had been called on to explain his presence at that meeting in support of the movement for the repeal of the simple duty on paper. whilst in his place in Parliament he had appended to and united with that object the repeal of the newspaper stamp, the advertisement duty, and the duty on the im port of foreign books. He wished to state that he was guided in his conduct by what he believed to beabe best course to be adopted in reference to what the eouatil required for its welfare—the repeal of all the taxell s on a knowledge. He brought forward the question whole because he saw something like a principle,_m i w posinon of a tax (Hear, hear.) He did not put it as a que.siiou ef s urplus and that, there lrepdlgu e s ; w b a u 3 t n l n ie t a s o ai t l a th i a n t t p h o e licy, ° oi l knowledge fore, whether there was a surplus or no surplus, ft was the duty of those who had the conduct of public affairs to make such financial a rrangements as would enable Parliament to dispense with a description of taxes which were unfit to remain a permanent source of revenue (Hier, hear.) lie knew from experience, also, that it %as a good pl a n to ask for all you want, but to take without givin g a release in full.— what tgbytoeu can (Laughter.) Le ewould not refuse an instalment, but he would not in consequence forego the right at all times to demand payment of the whole debt. Those three questions—the paper duty, the newspaper-stamp d u ty, and the advertisement duty—had usually been more or less linked together.—(Hear, hear.) When Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer brought the question before Par liament, though not intending then to (include the paper duty, he moved generally to the effect that the taxes on knowledge were injurious to the public interests. If he succeeded in that motion, he would afterwards have to move resolutions referring to each apecifically.—(ilear. hear.) He (Mr. Gibson) pursued nearly the same course, as that whioh was most likely to enlist the . - 1 00 --5 0 0 - - 1 0 0 ANAC FOR 1851. !HRON( ..
