Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innoxious in itself. The high pace which it has hitherto been sold has pres ented its general use ; to obviate this obstacle to its universal apnlication as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Bur,iett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Cheatists and Ship: inc Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at Is. 6d. each ; in pints, Is. ; half pints, 6d. each ; and in larger ves,els at 6s. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution nd use. Conce• trated Chloride of Zinc in use may be dilated with 200 times its quantity of water. Orders executed by the sole Agents, Messrs. Drew, Heyward, and Barron, Bush-lane, Cannon street. Manufactured at H. G. GRAY'S, Commercial Wharf, Mile End, London. "Gentlemen,—The Lords Commissioners of her Ma jesty's Treasury having determined that all Exchequer bills issued under the authority of the acts of the 15th of Victoria, c. 10, and the 16th of Victoria, c. 25, shall, on and after the 11th of October inst., bear an interest at the rate of 2d. per centum per diem, I am commanded by their lordships to request that you will make this determination known at the Stock Exchange, and my lords will forthwith take the necessary steps for carrying it into effect.—l have the honour, &c., " JAMES WILSON." The resolution of the Chancellor of the Exche quer to advance the rate of interest on Exchequer bills has been expected for some days, and much satisfaction is expressed that he has avoided the mistake committed on some previous occasions of allowing the nature of these securities to be da maged by lettin g them remain for any lengthened time at a discount. In deciding upon the reduc• tion to one penny per day in February last, he fol lowed the sound course of obtaining money for the public on the lowest practicable conditions, and was thus enabled to demonstrate that at periods of ease in the Money-market the obligations of the British Treasu!y will circulate at a rate of interest unknown in any other country. Until recently, the premium they still maintained was quite as high as is desirable, if they are to be divested of a specula tive character, and, although this would not have been the case if the quantity in circulation had not been diminished by a large amount being sent in for payment, the intentions of the measure were in every respect realised, inasmuch as the Govern ment had a heavy balance at the Bank, which it was expedient should be employed for the national benefit, instead of being suffered to lie idle or to be used only for the advantage of a private corpora tion. At the same time, while the Chancellor re solved that the interest on these securities should henceforth be conformable to the real position of the money-market at the time of their issue, it being no part of the functions of a Minister to act on his own fancies as to whether the stock-market for the future will rise or fall, he, of course, held himself prepared to increase the rate whenever a change of circumstances might render that step necessary. Since February a deficient harvest, not only in Eng land, but throughout the greater part of Europe ; a convulsion in the Chinese empire, which has ren dered it necessary for us to make all our payments in that country in the precious metals, and which has caused our exportations of specie to the East to amount, by the last two steamers alone to 1,000,0001. sterling ; a dispute with Russia of so imminent a nature that we scarcely know whether we are or are not already at war ; and a sudden change from apathy as regards shipments to Australia to a state of excitement, which has caused, probably, ten millions' worth of the combined produce of labour and raw material to be sent away on an eight months' credit, are the events which have since oc curred to affect the relations of capital, and any one of which would usually be regarded as sufficient to upset all previous calculations. That theyhave all happened together without producing the slightest shadow of discredit in the commercial world fur nishes the strongest possible proof of the soundness of the buoyant view which, judging from facts as they then stood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is believed to have entertained at the opening of the year ; while of course, if he were to pretend to have foreseen then, he would rank only as a charlatan, Even, moreover, if they had been within the pro vince of conjecture, it was not his business to turn speculator upon the strength of any such opinions. His duty was simply to obtain money for the public at a penny a-day, or even a farthing a-day, as long as it might be possible to do so, and to be ready to pay twopence or threepence, or any higher amount, whenever the alteration should be requisite. By following this course, and thus assuring the mer cantile community that, although the interest on Exchequer-bills will always, both for the sake of economy and the dignity of the national credit, be kept at the lowest possible rate, they will never be permitted to remain for many weeks at a discount, he will cause the security to be what it ought to be—one of the most reliable and least speculative that can be selected. Meanwhile, the public, for whose interests alone the Chancellor thus far appears to have acted, will be glad to observe that the measure now adopted seems to indicate a certainty that all his arrange ments for meeting the claims to fall due in January next in connexion with the conversion of the South Sea and other annuities will be completed without difficulty. The last quotation of Exche quer-bills to-day was far below what has usually been the case when they have borne the advanced rate of interest now announced, and the reason for this consists in the anticipation that an amount equal to that withdrawn during the past six months will be re-issued to supply the wants of the Treasury at the period in question, the available surplus re venue being used as far as it will go for the re mainder. , Under these circumstances, public ob ligations bearing 3 per cent. in perpetuityi will be paid off partly by cash in hand and partly by secu rities carrying interest at the rate of 3/. Os. 10d. per annum that will admit of being reduced when ever the money-market may be favourable for such an operation.—Times (..ity Article. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE GREAT WA:STERN RAILWAY. On Saturday afternoon an accident of a most alarm ing character, and which, we regret to say, was the cause of one person being killed on the spot, and which, it is feared, will prove fatal to several others, occurred at Kensal-green. - It appears that Messrs. Lock and Nesham, the well known contractors, were erecting for the Great Wes tern Railway Company at Sensal-green a new locomo tive factory, which, with the exception of the covering of the roof, was to be composed of iron, after the prin ciple of the Crystal Palace. The building was 400 feet long by 70 broad, the sides of which consisted of iron columns, and the roof was to be supported by what are technically called iron principals or rafters, constructed triangularly, .so as to give a full fall for the light. These principals were raised on the top of the columns by means of a " derrick," a perpendicular pole, w hi c h was s upported by four " guys" (rop es to give it a proper bearing). Nine of the principals had already been erected, and, at the time of the accident, a large number of the workmen were in the act of raising the tenth, which they had nearly got up to the top, when, from some cause which is at present unexplained, the "guys" gave way, and the "derrick" toppled over, thereby causing the "principal" the men were lifting to strike the others, and •the consequence was that the whole mass fell to the ground with a fearful crash, burying under it all the men who were engaged in the . Itance was immediately procured, and as STOCKS AT HOME AN_ _ work. _ssis•._ - - . ..-., w--- HE soon as the principals (each of them weighs about 15 cwt.) could be removed it was found that nearly 20 very uncertain state of the Money Market injured more or less severely.

THE EASTBRN QUESTION. (From, the Times.) After all the forbearance which political wisdom could suggest, and all the suspense which diplo matic negotiations unavoidably involve, the Turkish question has been brought to a point of practical decision. The Czar has now learnt the terms from which the Western Powers will not swerve, and which they are prepared, even at the cost of war, to maintain. It will be satisfactory to the whole country to understand that these resolutions have been taken with perfect unanimity by the Cabinet, and that between the British and French Govern ments there prevails so entire an accord upon every point of their joint duties that the manoeuvres of Russia to dissolve or impair the affiance have utterly failed. France and England have announced their de termination to support Turkey, if necessary, by force of arms, in resisting the demands preferred by Russia. They have agreed, in point of fact, to abide by those conditions of settlement which the Four Power conceived themselves to be expressing ' in their Vienna Note, but which they failed to con vey with any accuracy of language. The modifica tions suggested by the Porte are substantially adopted by the Western Powers as the basis of their terms, and the Emperor Nicholas has not been indulged in his desires respecting the point of form. At Olmfitz, as our readers are aware, the Czar professed his readiness \ to concede the prin ciple of the Turkish modifications, provided only that the recognition were effcted by means of an explanatory "eclaration," an4elle original Vienna Note still retained as the - regiilating instrument between the parties. In this particular, however, France and England declined to yield ; and they have required that the assent of the Czar to condi tions which he already admits in substance shall be expressed and recorded in some document unda maged by a previous false interpretation. A Note which Russia has already publicly declared to mean exactly what the Western Powers think it should not mean can never represent a satisfactory settle ment between the Western Powers and Russia. suspended, and so grudgingly resumed. But it was a novelty to announce the subject of Privy Council deliberations to the public, and to atone for a fussy reserve towards Parliament by a frank violation of the confidence of the Crown. The Cabinet has a new theory on the subject of " Honour," as we suggested last Saturday ; so we let this pass ; for their position —we say it in no odious sense—is comparatively a contemptible topic in face of the contingencies menacing Europe. The magnates of the Turkish empire have recom mended war—or rather, we should say, they have recommended retaliation (for war commenced with the passage of the Pruth by the Russians) ; and retaliation will in natural course ensue if our Cabi net acts with its usual alacrity, and negotiates again with its former success. To all but those who entertain positive desires that the liberal States of the West should be brought into decisive collision with the absolute States of the East at the earliest moment, and on the first pretence, we think these resolutions must appear sufficient. The delays hitherto attending the nego tiations have occurred in the interests of peace alone. At no moment have they been occasioned, on the part of the Western Powers, by any dis position to give way to Russia. The terms now categorically preferred are the identical terms which have been required from the begulmng, and are none other indeed than the very conditions to which France and England believed themselves to be adhering when they assented to the Vienna Note. The intervening difficulties originated in circumstances both evident and notorious. As soon as ever the proceedings, and even the intentions of Russia were known in the country, and before the arrogance of her demands upon Turkey had been consummated by the actual invasion of the Danubian Principalities, the combined fleets were despatched to their Eastern anchorage. Immedi ately afterwards a Conference assembled at Vienna to impose terms of moderation Dn Russia. Had the work of these diplomatists been properly con ducted, the question would have been brought three months ago to the point it has just now reached, and Russia would have received the telti matuni of Europe. But the Conference blundered —there is no disguising the fact. They so expressed their intentions that their expressions were mis construed both by Turkey on one side and Russia on the other, and, as their Note was thus vitiated by its inherent ambiguities, the whole affair had to be commenced anew under greater difficulties than before. Originally the Czar had no standing ground whatever, but, having accepted the terms of the European arbitrators in the form in which they were offered to him, he became possessed of some species of case. He has not, however, been allowed the benefit of the doubt thus created. The Western Powers have declared their own Note void by the Czar's interpretation, and now insist upon a fresh instrument, containing a plainer ex position of their terms. What justifies them conclusively in these resolu tions is the absolutely indefensible position which Russia has been all along maintaining. Her armed occupation of the Danubian Principalities is a stand ing and perpetual offence against public law—an offence which would have warranted, on the part of Turkey, a declaration of war at the moment of its commission. Russia had no title whatever to enforce her demands upon the Porte. So far as we can judge, she was even without any admissible reasons for preferring these demands at all, for the Greek Christians iu Turkey, though kept, as they have always been, in a s t a t e o f d egra d a ti on an d oppression, had not been exposed to any recent alarms, or induced to make application for extrinsic protection. But, however this may be, there was unquestionably no ground for the exercise of vio lence ; and, although we are not directly bound to guarantee Turkey in her territorial rights, and still less to uphold the dominion of Mussulmans over Christians, we were call e d upon i n self-defence, and in European interests, to oppose this act of vio lence on the part of a Power whose encroaching policy is the subject of common alarm. Our object is, and has been, to procure the withdrawal by Russia of those demands upon Turkey which would invest the Czar with an in definite authority in the dominions of the Sultan, and thus enable him to prosecute clandestinely any designs directed against the security of the Ottoman Empire. It seems that the Conference failed to express this object distinctly in the first propositions of adjustment, but we have, at any rate, expressed it now, and in terms satisfactory even to the natu ra l susp i c i ons o f th e Porte. After this it only remains to be seen whether the Emperor of Russia will persist in his aggres sion or yield to reason. We hope and trust that the latter result may occur . T o all the former evidence against his proceedings the Czar • has now added the con c l us i ve test i mony o f his own confession. By accepting in substance the terms pressed by the Western Pow ers , h e has acknow ledged the justice of the principles on which those terms are based. By undertaking to give, though in form of his own ch oos i ng, th e guaran tees they require, he has practically admitted that those guarantees are reasonably demanded, and the ques tion of his own dignity ought to sink by the side of facts like these. By his own acknowledgments, no less than by the opinion of Europe, he stands con victed of having endeavoured to enforce, by unlaw ful invasion, demands which he now consents to retract. This, by his own showing, is the case against him, for his reiterated assurances of desiring nothing beyond what the Western Powers profess to permit supply conclusive evidence against those proceedings which provoked the intervention. We yet trust this protracted dispute may b e terminated without war, and that an Emperor who parleys may be found like a fortress under the same circumstances, less disposed to fight than capitulate. That the alternative of war must be accepted, if necessary, we have repeatedly observed; but as the acceptance will at once precipitate us into all those countless and incalculable perils which the modern policy of Europe has been framed to avert, we may well hope to be saved from the extremity. If any reliance, however, has been placed by foreign Go vernments on that insurmountable affection for - Further negotiations are, indeed, announced, under new, and it is hoped better, conditions. The apparent energy which at last commissioned the oombined fleets to the waters of Constantinople has ' been accompanied by (it would shock too abruptly the MusCovite predilections of Lord Aberdeen to say it has induced) certain overtures on the part of the Czar. The reputed organ of one of the Minis ters has told us in a jaunty air, which betrays its inspiration, that " the fleets did not sail for Besika Bay for a summer's cruise, nor have Admirals Dun das and Hamelin passed the Dardanelles with their whole force for the benefit of change of air." This information, which reassured the British pub lic, has been considerately mitigated to Russian ears, if Lord Westmoreland, as is stated, told the Czar at Olmutz that " his. Government would par ticularly guard against making any pledge of mate rial support to the Sultan in case he should declare war against Russia." But the fleets were, at all events, present, if not with acknowledged hostile intent ; and the Czar has offered terms, though not under acknowledged pressure. Of the respective movements of the Porte for war and of the Czar for peace, both may be sincere, and yet at this stage war may be imminent. If, on the other hand, the Czar's predisposition for an ar rangement is avowed in the same sense as his ac ceptance of the Vienna note, war must not only be imminent but unavoidable. If, again, the Czar is sincerely desirous for peace, he can only attain it by withdrawing from his position. Prince Mena chikoff's explanation of the grounds of his refusal of the modifications of the Vienna note required by the Porte has placed his Majesty in this humiliat ing alternative—either he must consent to receive a declaration of the meaning of the Vienna note entirely contradictory to his own interpretations and that of the Porte, or he must submit to accept a fresh document framed studiously to exclude the protectorate which he claimed over the subjects of the Porte through the medium of Prince Menschi koff. In either event he must submit to the humi- liation of a withdrawal from the terms defined by his diplomatic agent, and must admit peace as a personal confutation and reproach. 'rho inference from this is not only patent but conclusive as to the policy which our own Cabinet has pursued. If the Czar recedes in the face of a threatened resolve, and recedes under the lash of shame and vexation, he would not have advanced had that resolve been notified at an earlier date, with English candour, English consistency, or Eng lish courage. The first defeat which Lord Aberdeen sustained in his own Cabinet is said to have been its resolve to empower Lord Stratford to summon the English fleet as soon as he thought proper. If this be true, his first defeat has been the means of his first and only, though as yet contingent, success. If the peace of Europe is still to be preserved, it is only maintainable in derision of feminine tremors which invited for a time the Cossack's threats ; and thus Lord Aberdeen may obtain a respite, to his country's and his own benefit, though in spite of himself. His organs may be premature in offering any re flections upon this possible issue. But at all events the " moral" which they venture to deduce from this compromising story is designedly remote. The peace of Europe imperilled—the Funds at 90—the operations of commerce paralysed—the balance of power vibrating spasmodically—the approximation of hostile armies, and the threatened. resurrection of revolutionary impulses in the interests of peace —all these coincidents—this complexity of hazards, requires some account, and the explanation is found solely in the ambition of the Czar. The encour agements to his ambition are studiously ignpred ; but, as divided councils produce opposite explana tions, we are told in that organ of one of the Ministers which we have already quoted, that " the truth is that, believing that France and England would not act together or firmly in opposition, the Emperor of Russia seized upon what he imagined to be a good opportunity for gratifying his ambition ;" and we add to this naive admission, which accords with the repre sentations of our party chiefs in Parliament, that distracted councils and despairing timidity have improved this impression to the confusion which prevails. For the " moral" of this conjuncture we have no occasion to travel so far as the Ministerial 2Esop. It lies at our own door, and is not to be relegated by a stroke of the pen to Siberian latitudes. A. combination of administrators, some of them states men, has been founded on the abeyance of party principles ; particular views have met their contra dictories, and the issue of the whole is a compro mised activity. The capacity of the individuals when not controlled by unnatural alliances, may be clear and admitted, but a vicious influence subdues each conviction, and deadens every spontaneous impulse. The result is necessarily a political Coma. The personal weakness of Lord Aberdeen may adapt him for democratic or other pressure, but a medium is required to reduce him to imbecility, and this medium is found in the constitution of his Cabinet. peace which has recently been attributed, as a national sentiment, to the British people, the mis conception may now be easily rectified. We do not, indeed, believe that war could, even for a mo ment, be really popular with a country so generally enlightened as to its consequences, but it is clear that there is pugnacity enough abroad to make a prudent and pacific policy decidedly more difficult to a Ministry than a policy which should appeal to the foibles of a people or the passions of a moment. England can always go to war soon enough. Of this there can be very little doubt, and we trust the obvious conviction may produce its due effect in quarters where more temperate proceedings have hitherto been of little avail. (Front the Press.) Our readers may remember that in our last week's number we stated precisely the pitch of complexity which the Eastern question had reached, and an nounced that Lord Aberdeen would call a Cabinet Council during the week which is now ending. The Cabinet Council met yesterday ; but, as a preliminary to this phenomenon, certain of its principal councillors had a private rehearsal, which they thought fit to announce in the Times of Tues day last. If it was not pure hypothesis on the part of their organ, they enabled it to communicate " the intelligence which was the immediate occasion of their meeting—that on the 26th ult. the Grand 1 Council, a body consisting of about one hundred and forty magnates of the Turkish empire, had re commended the Sultan to make a declaration of war." Phis intelligence was, of course, sufficient ' occasion for the Cabinet to meet ; and, in any event, it was natural that they should prepare themselves for the formal duties they had so long - --~..

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great efli - 2acy of this medicine : "157, Vew Bond-street, Londo , ., Octoher 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln icquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GP 'CT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro• littred the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th•se who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time Dt procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity he pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have Instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of manic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf .ered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS s towards Its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many Mends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."

Such efforts will be vain. The time is gone by when they could succeed ' • and the clear-sighted commercial men of England will be quick to perceive that not only are they indebted to the noble earl for this boon, but that also to the promptitude and ability of Sir Charles Hotham it is owing that its attainment was not frustrated by Lord Aberdeen and Lord Clarendon as " hopeless." While indignant at the thought of what this small-souled caution might have shut them out from, they will do well to reflect that one of the most signal achievements of commercial diplomacy in modern times had well nigh failed from a beggarly but characteristic cal culation of its " expensiveness." THE QUARTERS REVENUE. (From the Observer.) The Revenue returns for the quarter will be made up to-morrow, the 10th of October, in the usual tabular form, and published on Tuesday morning. Until the actual figures are added up to the latest day, it is, of course, impossible to be precise in the comparison of the year and quarter just ended with the corresponding period of 1852. Enough, however, is already known to enable us to state that the result of the comparison will be in every respect eminently satisfactory. In spite of large reductions—or, as it would now almost seem, in consequence of these reductions, all those sources of revenue, in particular, that are moved by the springs of industry and trade, seem to becom e more land more elastic and enlarged by every successive removal of restrictions. It is precisely in those departments of the public revenue where the largest reductions have been made that the greatest increase is to be found. Even the abolition of whole items of taxation—such as the soap tax—seems to be met with an increased con sumption of other exciseable articles on the part of the population most affected by the repeal, who are thus enabled to increase their comforts in every way, and still to contribute their due share to the public burdens. The continuous success of the improved commercial policy of late years is the best test of its wisdom, and the highest encourage ment to proceed further boldly on the same path. The revenue for the year ending the 10th of October will exhibit a considerable increase over the year ending 10th of October, 1852. This im provement in the year will show a large increase upon the sum total—whilst almost every particu lar item of taxation will contribute its share to the general result. The income of the quarter, too, notwithstanding the reductions which have been in full force during the last three months, will exhibit an increase upon the corresponding quarter of last year. The in crease, if not so large as the somewhat exaggerated statements that have been prematurely put forth in unauthorised quarters, is certainly not to be over looked. It will be all the more gratifying, as at one time a contrary result was looked upon as the natural effect of the very large reductions of the last session. Both on the year and on the quarter the bulk of the increase will be found to proceed from the departments of the Customs and the Excise. There will be a small—probably a merely nominal decrease in the assessed taxes ; but if so, it will be owing rather to the accidental state of the collec tion than to other causes. Some old stamp duties repealed, and waiting for the new reductions to come into operation to-morrow (this day), have no doubt lessened the receipts from that source in the last quarter. The total abolition of the soap duties, which produced 1,200,0001., a year, the repeal of the advertisement duty upon newspapers, the reductions in posting and carriage duties and other items, have to be taken into account, in estimating the receipts of the Inland Revenue department. In the teeth of these losses it is most gratifying to see the Excise exhibit a decided increase. Nothing can more clearly demonstrate the satisfactory condition of trade, and the enjoyment of comforts, and even luxu ries, by the great bulk of the industrious popu lation. The increase in the Customs, too, is most satisfactory, when we take into account the numerous reductions made in the very last session alone, in addition to those that were made before, during the last ten or dozen years. The next ses sion will probably see the smaller items that still remain struck off altogether. The revenue has not suffered in anything like the estimated amount by the reduction in tea and sugar duties, which have given such general relief. Some portion of the quarter's increase, to be sure, may be attributed to the increased importation of grain, which assists the Customs revenue to some extent, even at the nominal impost of is. per quarter. Upon the whole it may be confidently stated that all branches of the revenue are understood to be in a most prosperous condition ; and that on a balance of receipt and expenditure a very considerable surplus will remain, in spite of all reductions of taxation, and in the face of the not inconsiderable, but essential, additions made to our expenditure for the necessary purpose of perfecting our national defences. THE NEW PENNY STAMP FOR _RECEIPTS AND DRAFTS ON DEMAND. (From the Economist. ) We have several letters before us, raising a number of points in relation to the application of the new penny stamp, which for convenience we will thus classify :- 1. Does the new act render it imperative to give and take receipts for all payments of 2/. and upwards ? 2. Whether a stamp receipt is required for a payment made in money when an immediate exchange of the goods and money take place, or when goods are bought over the counter ; and if this be so how far the rule would extend to transactions of a more continuous na ture, such, for instance, as an hotel bill discharged on leaving, or the immediate payment of th e l ast of any (From the Press.) series of deliveries included in one purchase !

But there is a special class of cases (to which this ex• eniption of payment of money to bankers does not apply, whatever form of receipt be adopted. It is specially stated "not to extend to receipts or acknowledgments for sums paid or deposited for or upon letters of allot ment of shares, or in respect of calls upon any scrip or shares of or in any joint stock or other company, or proposed or intended company;"—and it is further enacted that such receipts or acknowledgements, by whomsoever given (whether by the secretary of the company or the bankers) shall be liable to the stamp duty. So that in the case of payments of deposits on letters of allotment or "calls " of any kind, the receipt must be stamped. Fourth—We are not aware of any good reason wby a receipt for a payment into a banker's by a customer, in the manner already described, should not be exempt from stamp duty, simply because it names a time for the repayment of the money, or defines some specific notice to be given before the deposit shall again be demanded. We are aware that similar instruments given by private persons, such as I 0 U's for money borrowed, which specified a given day on which repayment was to be made, had been held by some to come within the Stamp Act as promissory notes. But in the case of a banker's deposits a special exemption from stamp duty is made, and no exception to the exemption is stated on account of the receipt bearing upon it a note of the time when it is to be repaid. But this is a point upon which we shall think it needful to take further advice. Fifth—Much discussion has taken place upon the state of the law under the new act in relation to stamped cheques drawn "to order" and "on demand," and in relation to bills of exchange. What we have formerly stated in respect thereto is strictly in accordance with the law, but the scope and effect of our observations seem to have been misunderstood. In the first place, the new instrument of a cheque or draft drawn "to order " and "on demand" on a penny stamp, is in every respect subject to the same laws fas bills of exchange, except as regards the exemption of bankers from the duty of ascertaining the genuineness of the indorsement. Now, it is quite true, as we have before stated, that a receipt for the payment of a bill of exchange at maturity, when the money is paid, may be given upon the bill itself, without any further stamp. But if, at the time of taking the bill, a receipt is given as a discharge for the debt which it re presents—for example, if the invoice or account b e thus receipted : "Received this day by bill at three months "—such receipt, though only for a bill, must be upon a stamp ; and the party paying a bill, or giving an acceptance in disch arge o f a debt, has a right to de mand a stamped receipt for it, the same as if the claim were discharged by money . Of cour se, i f the party giving suc h bill or acceptance is willing to dispense with any receipt for it, he is quite at liberty to do so and in many cases, perhaps in most cases, the bill itself when paid at maturity might be so identified with the claim that it was intended to discharge, as to be in his hands a sufficiently valid receipt, and one on which he might safely rely. Thus dispensing with any receipt for the bill at the time it is given, the final receipt by in dorsement upon it at ma t ur i ty, and when paid, may be convertedinto a receipt without a further stamp. But by the way of trying the distinction for which we are contending, suppose the same bill of exchange, as is frequently the case, t o b e used to discharge numerous debts, by indorsement from o ne person to another, the only person to whom it would finally serve as a receipt would be the first acceptor, when it returned into his hands. None of the intermediate h olders, who had dis charged claims with the same instrument, would have any receipt, unless they were taken separately f rom the hill, and if so taken, for example in this for m , " Settled by A.B 's draft upon C.D.," the receipt must in every case be upon a stamp. The same rule precisely applies to stamped cheques payable to order and on demand. The party dis charging a debt by such an instrument has a right to require a receipt for it, and such receipt must be stamped ; though the receipt for the money, when obtained from the banker's upon whom it is drawn, may be endorsed upon the back of such cheque without any further stamp. But if, as in the case of a bill of exchange, the party paying the stamped cheque is willing to dispense with any receipt for the same, and is satisfied to rely upon the endorsement of the person in whose favour it is drawn, and the possession of the cheque after it has been paid, as a legal proof of the dis charge of any particular claim, it is quite competent fur him to do so, and there is nothing illegal in the mode of doing it. Legally and technically the receipt written by endorsement upon such cheque is an acknowledgment to the banker for the money that it represents, and not a discharge for the debt for which such cheque was given ; but it may be without much difficulty converted into a collateral evidence of the discharge of such claim, and especially if the cheque bears upon its face any note of the account for which it is drawn. For example, in pay ing a tradesman's account, if the stamped cheque is drawn :—" Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., pay to A. B. or order, for bill to Christmas, 1852," and it is indorsed as being received by A. 8., such paid cheque in the hands of the person giving it, would furnish a sufficient proof of payment. In all cases in which payments are made by means of such cheques direct into the hands of the parties in whose favour they are drawn, such an en dorsement can be obtained at once, and any further re ceipt may be the easier dispensed with ; but in cases where accounts are collected by clerks, the endorsement could only be made afterwards, and no doubt, if genuine, would be equally efficacious as if made at the time ; but in such cases the person making the payment would possess no evidence that he had paid the cheque at all, if it were subsequently lost or stolen, and the endorsement forged. What we want to point out is the technical distinction between the stamp which authorises such a cheque to be drawn " to order," and the stamp which serves as a legal discharge for a claim. But practically, however, it is plain that, in a great majority of cases, a stamped cheque, by being endorsed by the person in whose favour it is drawn, will serve all the purposes of a legal proof of the discharge of a debt. But let it be borne in mind that if any acknow ledgment is made of the payment by the cheque, separately from the cheque itself— if the person making the pay ment requires a receipt when he parts with the receipt in discharge of a debt, which he is entitled to do, all such receipts must be upon stamped paper, whether the cheque be stamped and drawn "to order," or unstamped and drawn " to bearer." The case has been put very popularly and clearly in the following paper from a correspondent, which is per fectly consistent with the statements made in the former articles in the Economist on the subject :-- A receipt for a debt requires a stamp of id. A draft payable to order on demand requires a stamp for id., and on the back of this draft the payee may give a valid discharge, either by a simple indorsement or by prefacing his signature by "R ece i ve d t h e within.'" Now, if an individual pays his tailor by a d ra ft, pay abletake takes to a receipt, order, this tbi s requiresust alsoa pennybeon a stamp ; if he then penny n n y stamp. But it is clear that b o th t h ese documents, oteaperhaebteieinagily a legal discharge, are not required, and will be used. If th e d e b tor takes a re ceipt duly st am p e d, h e does not wa n t ano th er stamped document, and may pay by a cheque to "bearer" which requires no stamp. Or if he prefers to pay by a cheque to order, as the creditor mu s t i n d orse i t, and thus acknowledge the receipt of the sum mentioned in the cheque, the debtor does not require a further receipt. The indorsement, though not in terms a receipt for the tailor's bill, is expressly a receipt for the amount named in the draft. Therefore, the case will stand thus ; The debtor has in his possession his tailor's bill, say for 25/. 10s. He draws a draft payable to the tailor's order for 251. 108., and will have in his possession this draft duly receipted by the tailor, acknowledging, there fore, that he has received the 25/. 10s., and this is as perfect a receipt for the tailor's bill as if it were on a separate penny stamp. Sixth—lt was not intended that receipts given to the PostmaAer-General for money orders for 2/. and upwards should be subject to stamp duty ; as the person receiving such orders pay the Post-office a commission for the same ; and again, as in most cases, the persons receiving the orders must give a legal receipt to the persons send ing them to discharge the claims they represent. But as some doubt has been raised on the subject, it is under stood that the Treasury will issue an order to the Post office to authorise the Postmaster-General to dispense with such receipts.
