At a Public Meeting of Gentlemen, interested In the ABOLITION of the EXCISE DUTY on PAPER, held at the King's Arms, Palace-yard, on Wednesday, January the 29th instant— T. B. CROMPTON, Esq., in the ChOr— the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Moved by Mr. WILLIAM CHAMBERS, of Edinburgh, and seconded b; Mr. CHARLES 11NIGIIT : "That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the Excise Duty on Paper acts as a grievous impediment to the progress of sound popular Instruction, inasmuch as it bears with a ruinously unequal pressure upon those cheap and useful publicat , ons, which form the best medium for the communlcatbn of elementary and general know ledge." sloved by Mr. JOHN CASSELL, and seconded by Mr. SAMUEL CARTER HALL : " That this duty, originally imposed as a war tax, is based upon grounds d rectly opposed to all the acknowledged principles of sound fiscal legislation, because, amounting as it does, in frequent in stances, to a tax of 300 per cent. upon the raw material, a material totally worthless for any other purpose, but worked up into an article of indispensable utility by the application of industry, it falls with almost its entire weight directly upon the employment of labour, thus destroying at its very source the first and most impor tant element of national wealth." Moved by Mr. HOLDEN, of Manchester, and seconded by Mr. Cot __ LING, of Ulasgow : " That in the manufacture of paper not men only, but large num. hers of women and children, are employed, in a manner highly con sistent with all that appertains to health and morality, not only iu the neighbourhood of large and populous towns, but also and chiefly in the rural districts, where employment is scarce and poor rates high, and that the impetus which must be given to the trade by a repeal of this duty would theref.re incalculably benefit the agricul tural population, as well by the consumption of a material produced by their own industry, as by the beneficial employment of their surplus labour." Moved by Mr. Jamas BetnwlN, of Birmingham, and seconded by P. Boazuwlcx, Esq. : " That the uses to which paper is already applied are so many and varlcus as to render its cheapness one of the first requisites of a people daily advancing in commerce and civilization, and that the purposes to the effecting of which its use might and would still be e , tended, but for the high price created by the tax, are almost ir fl, ite both in number and importance to the progress of science and art." Moved by Mr. Slam, of Bingley, and seconded by Mr. E.Woomaa, of Exeter: "That the kollowing resoltitionsareprodigiously strengthened by the three follbWing considerations, namely : " let, That thig. . taxis ehorheoualy chaproporttoued to-the - . natio-of the raw material, so as to prudent an inducement to fraud almost too strong for human Integrity to resist: and, at the same time, that the mode of collecting it is such as to render fraud ea•iy and inviting. The fair trader is thus continually exposed to unprincipled compe '• 2d. That the oppressive injustice of this tax has successfully di rected the skill and ingenuity of manufacturers to its evasion, by the fabrication of many articles, so precisely the same in their completed state with paper itself, as to be substituted for it in use, an i yet so adroitly varied in the process of manufacture as to ren der it impossible for the Board of Excise to claim the duty —an advantage which tends to the utter ruin of the licensed paper manu facturer. "And 3dly. That the continuance of this tax is not more mani festly unjust in itself, and injurious to the gcueral interests of the community, than it is absurdly inconsistent with precedent. For while the raw material of cotton has been relieved from a burden of not mere than from 5 to a per cent, it is monstrous that the re f use of that very same raw material, used for the manufacture of paper, should bear the unheard-ofimpoit of 300 per cent." Moved by Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN, and seconded by Mr. PHILIP PERMANENT ENLARGEMENT OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. On and after the 4th February, the MORNING ADVERTISER will be permanently enlarged to A DOUBLE SHEET, of the same size as the " Times," to which journal it is now the next in circulation among the daily papers. The Proprietors of the MORNING ADVERTISER have made the most liberal and comprehensive arrangements, both at home and abroad, for rendering their journal as complete as possible in its va rious departments. They have appointed able and active correspon dents in all parts of the Continent, in America, and in the leading towns of, Great Britain and Ireland. A great accession of talent has also been secured for the Editorial columns of the paper ; while every attention will be paid to the Lite rature of the day. The Sporting department will be comilded to "Yates," - confessedly the most eminent Sporting writer of the age. With regard to general Intelligence, the arrangements which hive been 'made will, the Proprietors feel assured, render their journal all that can be desired.

REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. DECLARATION OF VISCOUNT DUNCAN. An aggregate meeting of representatives of the several parishes comprised in the City and Liberty of Westminster took place last evening.at the Vestry room of St. James's, Piccadilly, for the purpose of adopting measures for procuring " the total and im mediate repeal of the window duties, without the substitution of any other tax." The attendance was numerous, comprising churchwardens, overseers, ves trymen, and others, from the following parishes : St. James's, St. Paul's, Covent-garden, St. A nne ' s , Soho, and St. Mary-le-Strand. Mr. Was. GEESIN, senior churchwarden of St. James's, presided, and urged on the assembled repre sentatives the importance of putting their shoulders to the wheel. There were several claimants for the Chancellor of the Exchequer's surplus, but none had a stronger claim than the opponents of the window tax—a war tax, and one which ought to have been repealed long ago. This most unjust and unsanitary tax had been the means of taking sixty three millions from the pockets of those who paid it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Its repeal was most important as a stimulus to various kinds of la bour—carpenters, glaziers, painters, sash-frame makers, and oth e r s . I n reference to this tax Minis ters had not kept faith with the people , and they should beware, lest their bad example was followed by the people in reference to the national debt—the legacy of the " Beaven-born Minister"—who had proved one of the greatest curses this country ever suffered.—(Hear, hear.) With a due pressure on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he must give way on this tax. Let its repeal be obtained, and he would then go for the repeal of the paper duties, soap duties, 1 and other imp os t s . S t ill , t h e great evil was the state I of the representation in the House of Commons, where there sat 86 Members representing an aggre gate number smaller by 247, than the constituency of the Tower Hamlets.—(Hear, hear.) This should be reformed altogether, and then many minor evils would be got rid of. Mr. W. J. NEWTON, of Brewer•street, the hono rary secretary, read letters which he had received from the representatives of various parishes, amongst others from Mr. Freeth, of Marylebone, who stated that the petition of that parish had received 20,000 signatures.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. WeextesoN, churchwarden of St. Paul's, stated that a memorial addressed to Francis Smedley, Esq., the high-bailiff of Westminster, requesting him to call a public meeting on the subject, had been nume rously signed in his parish. The CHAIRMAN stated that similar requisitions had been signed in the other parishes, and would be pre sented without delay. Mr. MILEY, of St. James's, suggested that an in quiry should be u n d e rt a k en by going through all the small houses in the parish, to show the injurious effect of the tax in a sanitary point of view. A conversation ensued as to the steps to be taken preliminary to a public meeting. The CHAIRMAN suggested that it would he desir able to obtain a large number of petitions, with few signatures, rather than one large petition, even if it had 50,000 signatures. This plan had been acted on in Islington, where Mr. Harris, the secretary of the Reform Association, was getting up about 3,000 peti tions, each signed by one individual. This would have a far greater effect on the House, as the Hon. Member who presented those petitions would be able to occupyan houror, two.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He thought it would be a good plan, on th© day of the meeting of Parliament, to have a number of men stationed in Palace-yard, bearing large placards, in scribed " No Window-tax—No House-tax."—(llear, hear.) This would at once show Hon. Members what was wonted, and convince them of the strength of the agitation. Ile would have a small army of these men, so as to impede the way to the House ; and then there could he no mistake as to what the people wanted.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was resolved that a deputation should be ap pointed to wait on the churchwardens of the parishes not represented at the meeting. Lord DUNCAN, who entered the meeting at this stage of the proceedings, was loudly cheered. lie said—l have no hesitation in answering at once the question which has been put to me by my friend Mr. Geesin. I think it is now some eight or ten years since he and I first undertook this question.—(llear, hear.) We had then great difficulties to contend with. Fortunately, we have proceeded so far pretty well ; and the difficulties we had to contend with have been annually diminishing.—(Hear, hear.) It is quite unnecessary for me to trouble you with any arguments for the repeal of this tax. In the days of Sir John Hobhouse and others it had been denounced, both in St. James's and in other of the metropolitan parishes. The course I intend to pursue on this question is open and straightforward; I shall certainly renew my motion for the repeal of the window-tax at as early a day as I can.—(Cheers.) It is my intention to bring forward a motion for the total, immediate, and come plete repeal of this obnoxious tax.—(Hear, hear.) And when I regard the state of the national finances, lam happy to say that I perceive they are now in such a state that I can no longer be met with the only objection that was ever brought forward—the impos• sibility of repealing it under the peculiar circum stances of the revenue; for as we have so large a surplus, I do not think there is anything to which that surplus could be applied with more satisfaction to the public than to the repeal of the window-tax.—(Hear, hear.) I must be permitted to take this opportunity of making a few observations with respect to certain words which have fallen from other Hon. Mem bers of the House of Commons. Very lately, at a meeting at Bradford, my friend Mr. Cobden stated that in his opinion the window-tax was not the first tax on the list that ought to be repealed, and he expressed his belief that it fell m iddle only and exclusively upon the higher and words must classes of the community. I think those r w h o as r have fallen from my Hon. Friend rathteuoitytoilf.Y (Hear, hear.) If he will take the o pt? In vestigating the subject he will b t e only upon the fallinclinedP with me that the tax does noressesm ost unequally higher and middling, but also i p y, !I t ar, and that all would upon all classes of the commu ni ty, hear.) This very be benefited by its repeal.—(htol walk as far as the Crystal day I took the trouble. this metropolis. Now the to ask in my place in Par liament is w h e th s e h r ou t l l d ia l t ik C e- rystal Palace is to be sub jected to the window-tax.—(Hear, hear.) If it is, I really should like to know bow much they will have to pay for it.—(Applause.) If it is not, I should then l i k e this question ti nswered—whether other persons ma y not he permitted to b u ild crystal palaces as well a s the Royal Com missioners. —(Cheers.) I am well aware that in the manufacturing districits a great number of persons are exempted .from this TOM this tax. Now, I never could understand why, if it is to be imposed at all, the manufacturers should not pay equally with other persons ; nor why, if it is to be maintained, it should not be placed on the shoulders of every man in the community.— (Hear.) It is the numerous exemptions which have been made from time to time in favour of large in terests that have caused the tax to press so unequally on different classes.—(Cheers.) I have repeatedly brought forward this subjeet in the House of Com mons, and have never received any answer at all sa- l;t Nr:11- tisfactory why the tax should not be repealed, except the finan c i a l diffi cu l t i es . Th ose h ave f ortunately ceased and I do not think there can be a more auspicious mo ment for agitating the question than the present. It gives me the greatest satisfaction, having only arrived in this country yesterday from the continent, to find the inhabitants of the metropolis so actively engaged. I have received communications front many other parts of the kingdom, and I am happy to say that the agitation on this subject is not confined to the metropolis alone. If you gentlemen out of doors will exert yourselves, and press this question on the attention of your representativ e s, I am quite convinced that when I bring it forward,, whoever may be in the Government, or however I msty be opposed, I shall not be opposed successfully. I run certain that the matter is entirely in your hands. Cod willing, I shall make the motion, and I trust X shall have to make it this year for the last time. —(,q pplause.) But rest assured that if I do not carry it this year, so con vinced am I of the justice of the cos e, that I shall bring it forward again snd again until I see it finally successful.—(Cheers.) I have no doubt you are all convinced of the benefit that will re suit from its repeal. We have nothing to do with ti .e taxes t o b e imposed ; we have only to do with th is single tax, and considering its inequality, and the impossibility of carrying out sanitary measures while it exists, I d o not think that, with any semblance o. r justice, ou r demands upon this subject can be successfully refused. Mr. ANLEY stated that if the window-tax was re pealed he should reduce his rents on those houses for which he paid the taxes.—(Hear, hear.) .. He was certain this example would be generally followed. The CHAIRMAN stated that the Members for Fins bury, Lambeth, Westminster, and other metropolitan boroughs, were pledged to stop the supplies if the window-tax was not repealed.—(Cheets.) Mr. NELSON stated that of the 1,800,0001. pro duced by the window-tax, only 300,0001. - was paid by the upper classes—a proof that it pressed unjustly on the middle and lower. There was an annual addition of 5,000 houses to the metropolis, which did not pay the window-tax, the majority of which were unfit for human habitation. He moved the thanks of the meet ing to Lord Viscount Duncan for his attendance. Mr. WILKINSON seconded the motion, which was carried amidst great applause. Viscount Duricerr briefly acknowledged the vote, and in a highly complimentary speech to the chalk. man, moved a vote of thanks to that gentlemait. The meeting then adjourned. SPRING CIRCUITS, 1851.

NEW LINE OF STEAM COMMUNICATION.—On Se turday afternoon the fine scr ew s t ea m er European left Lance • field-quay for the Thames, on her first trip in connexion with a regul ar sea commun i ca ti on w ith London, which it is proposed to establish.

Whichever way is chosen, the distance to be traversed must be more than 800 miles. The direct railroad route is only about 400.
