SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edinburgh. Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ball. London, &c., &c. AI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on V j_ the various disorders uP the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known tonxodern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist. once secret Causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous DebafitY, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri , Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely ne cessary that all men should know that there a re principles of perso nal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scien aacannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment - of these delicate corn.: plaints, and s the only legally quali fi ed Physician who, regardless of the taunts an d envy o f th e hypocritical and mock - modest , has had the confidence, through the medium of the pu blic p ress, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It 13 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MEET should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF - PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine'years f ha•Peexperienced the eflicadrof this Maeittllrfnedleine. I had long previously been attlicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me groat relict; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Front, 229, Strand, London.

(From the Morning Herald.) The question of stamp duties upon newspapers has just re-appeared, the Chancellor of the Exche quer having laid on the table of the House of Com mons his maturely-considered plan in the following terms : That from and after the sth day of July, 1853, in lieu of tho stamp duties now payable on newspap ers, the fol lowing stamp duties shall be payable thereon (that is to say, From every sheet or piece of paper whereon any newspaper shall be printed, containing on ono side thereof a superficies not exceeding 1,630 inches, a duty of £0 0 1 For one supplement to such newspaper, and printed as such, containing on one side a su perficiea not exceeding, 765 inches Provided always, that it shall be lawful to print any such newspaper and supplement in sizes different from those hereinbefore apportioned or in a single sheet, provided that such two sheets or such single sheet shall not contain in the aggregate a greater superficies than 2295 inches. For any further additional supplement, and printed as such, containing a superficies not exceeding 1,148 inches, a duty of 0 0 0 Provided also, that any two such additional supplements, which shall contain in the ag gregate a superficies not exceeding 2,295 inches, shall, notwithstanding that one of them may exceed a superficies of 1,148 inches, be chargeable each with a duty of 0 0 0 And for any other sheet or piece of paper on which any newspaper or supplement shall be printed other than in manner aforesaid, a duty of Free. 0 0 1 newspaper to contain intelligence. When Mr. Gladstone first proposed to abolish the stamp on supplements, the boon was accompanied with the condition that the supplements to bemade thus free of the stamp should not contain a single line of intelligence, but should consist exclusively of advertisements. It was felt by every news paper in the country, save one, that this would de stroy the value of the contemplated favour to news paper proprietors, because, in the existing state of newspaper property, whether in the metropolis or in the provinces, the condition with which it was clogged would put it out of the power of newspaper proprietors to avail themselves of it. - The - provincial journalists, therefore, lost no time in p ointing ' out to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, both in personal interviews and by means of written representations, the manner in which his proposed plan, so far as regarded supplements, ,would operate on newspaper property. , To the ' representations, and remonstrances thus ad dressed to him, both orally and in writing, - the right honourable gentleman not only. gave all due attention -at the time, but the result of h o sta smhb e i h ili t nni i i )gg s l i weighing carefully all that had been submitted to him, and of his more mature consideration of the matter in all its aspects, has been, that he has de termined to depart from his original intention 'of abolishing the stamp duty only on such supplements as consist exclusively of advertisements. News-, paper proprietors will be, under the right lion. gentleman's " amended " resolutions, at liberty to i publish supplements, if they shall feel so dispOsed, without a single advertisement, and yet be. exempt from a stamp duty. . Thus far the Chancellor -of the' - Exchequer has done well. The alteration from his original plan will give unmixed satisfaction to newspaper Jiro- . prietors,—since he had determined on meddling . with the stamp duties at all. Our opinions on this point are well known. We have always maintained that, as the right hon. gentleman was subject to no pressure from without in con nection with this matter, it would have been much better not to disturb existing arrangements. We adopted this view, in a great measure, because, owing to circumstances, we felt that a great levi athan establishment would almost alone profit by the alteration. Now, however, that Mr. Gladstone is not to prohibit the insertion of any amount of intelligence we may think fit to give in our -un stamped supplements, and seeing that on double supplements a duty will still be imposed, we have not the same objections to the measure which we impression The ienGeco stoov allow ft e saotnn o fa f yenity,d ii the 1 i i npt e d because press, eeurunc idtscllyai oy. en,- tsTt aishceki yrsexcessivelywillipge hsoh please, pbol shows ost s son. gentleman originally had. will M psiiie r b n . j cupidity, the insatiable avarice of our contemporary. It will not satisfy him that he may, if he thinks fit, publish a single supplement every day in the year without paying one farthing in the shape of stamp duty ; he is sulky and savage because he will not be permitted to escape scot free with his huge, double supplements also. On that lie confi dently calculated. He never seems to have ima gined the possibility of his being interfered with by the authorities at Somerset House, however colossal might be the dimensions of his supplemen- tary sheets. No wonder, then, that he should so fiercely . assail the Chancellor of the Exchequer as he did in his impression of yesterday. that the readers of the Morning Advertiser may rely on receiving the full benefit of the concession With regard to ourselves, we shall simply saY, which the right lion. gentleman has thought proper to make. We shall be in a position, ere long, to give a practical proof to the public of our apprecia tion of that brilliant patronage which they have accorded to us since the enlargement of our paper, and which is increasing in so marked a manner with every succeeding day. There is only one drawback in &inflection with the abolition of the stamp duty on newspaper supple ments. We allude to the intention of the right hon. gentleman, as far as is yet known, to persist in the retention of a sixpence duty on advertisements. We do hope Mr. Gladstone will be induced to re- 1 linquish the advertisement duty altogether. All t n iuh r e b o o f g ri t r ui the revenue that lie can derive from the exaction of a sixpence duty, cannot be a matter of import ance to him. It is almost undignified on the part of a great country, with a revenue exceeding 53,000,0001. per annum, to insist on the retention of a sixpence duty on notifications which, in a very large proportion, are made by servants out of place, and other parties, who can ill afford even to pay the amount which goes into the pockets of the newspaper proprietors. It will, besides, add very greatly to the boon of the remission of the stamp duty on the supplement, if Mr. Gladstone will repeal the duty on advertise ments entirely—because in that way he will give, a great stimulus to the practice of advertising, and thereby assist in rendering the supplement commer cially advantageous to the proprietors. It would be much to be regretted, for the right hon. gentle man's own sake, as well as for the sake of the com mercial interests affected, were he, .by persisting in the duty of sixpence on advertisements, to neutra lise to a great extent the bon which he intends alike' for them and the public, by the remission of the tax on supplements; . . . , • BAILW.4Y INTELLIGENCE. The adjourned half-yearly meeting - of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. G. Thompson in the chair. The CHAIRMAN exp'ained, that it would be neces sary to adjourn , the meeting to another day, in con sequence of the judges of the Court of Exchequer having appointed the 6th of July to deliver their judgment on the validity of the company's agree ment with the Great Northern Company. It was proposed to adjourn the meeting to the 19th of July, to be held at the same place, and he hoped they would then be in a position to declare their usual dividend, which would of course depend upon the decision of the judges. He concluded by moving a resolution to the died, that the meeting be adjourned to the, 19th of July, which was seconded and carried unanimously.

LONDON AND MID-WESTERN. Mr. T.

SOUTH-EASTERN (CANTERBURY AND WHITSTABLE Ptits CHASE ARRANGEMENT). • • • Lord HOTHAM reported from the committee on this bill that the additional amount authorised to be raised for the objects of the bill, and the general purposes of the South-Eastern Railway Company, by the creation of new shares or by borrowing, or partly by bc,th of those means, is 500,0001., subject to a provision that the com pany shall not borrow more than one-third of their capital. The objects of the bill are to dissolve the Can terbury and Whitstable Railway Company, and to vest in the South-Eastern Railway Company the under taking of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam packet Company, and also to enable the South-Eastern Railway Company to establish steam communication between the ports of Folkestone or Dover, and Calais or Boulogne. The committee, having fully considered the question of the expediency of permitting the South-Eastern Railway Company to acquire and use steam-vessels, and having heard counsel on both sides, are of opinion that the convenience and advantage of the public will be better secured by the concession of such powers to the extent limited by the bill. In pursuance of the instruction of the House of the 13th of May, the committee have thought fit to insert - in the'bill the pro visions with respect to giving notices by candidates for the,office of director or auditor, which were annexed to he petition for additional provisions in the bill. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION, BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY, AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAYS. Sir F. BARING reported from the committee that the principal objects of the bill, as amended by them, are to enable the Great Western Company to purchase lands at Birmingham for the purpose of providing addi tional station accommodation there in connection with the Birmi,nghain and Oxford Junction Railway, to em power the Great Western Railway Company, and the holders of securities in the Birmingham and Oxford and Birmingham and Dudley Railways, to make arrange ments for an extension of time for the payment to such persons of the moneys due in respect of their securities ; to make further provision with respect to the construc tion, maintenance, and use of the joint station at Wol verhampton, authorised by "the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Deviation Act, 1848," and to authorise the Great Western Company to use certain portions of the Oxford and Wolverhampton Railway. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON. Sir F. BARING reported from the committee that the objects of this bill, as submitted to the committee, were to extend the time limited for. the completion of the Wolverhampton station, to he jointly construeSed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, the Great Western, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies, and also the time limited for the compulsory purchase of land required for such station. The com mittee had amended the preamble'by altering the para graph relating to the management of the joint station, which they struck out of the and had found the same as amended to be true. NORTH AND. SOUTH-WESTERN, HAMYSTEA.D, AND CITY JUNCTION. . - LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, to consider a bill now before Parliament to enable the company to enlarge their station a t London-bridge and their goods station at Brighton ; and to make a branch railway to the Crystal Palace ; and for converting the debenture debt of the company into stock or shares; Mr. S. Laing, M.P., in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of the bill, in the pream ble of Which all the former acts relating to the company were recited. Power is given in the bill to enable the company to collect in one sum the fare by the railway and the admission to the Crystal Palace. The works authorised by the bill are to be completed in four years from the passing of the act. Power is given to convert the debenture debt of the company into a preference stock, entitled to a dividend not exceeding 31 per cent. per annum, or to grant perpetual annuities in lieu of the mortgage debt. The CHAIRMAN said he believed it was hardly neces sary to detain them one minute with any observations on the bill, as the whole matter had been fully discussed at former meetings. In compliance with the resolutions of Mr. Cardwell's committee, all the clauses relating to leases and other arrangements with branch lines were withdrawn from the bill. In doing so the di rectors had no wish to prejudice the claims of persons relying on those leases and agreements being carried out. The clauses were postponed for the present, in compliance with Mr. Cardwell's resolutions, but not from any change in respect of them by the board. The directors now held the same opinion respecting the leases, &c., as they did when they first submitted them to the proprieters. He had no doubt that those claims would be brought forward again and submit ted to Parliament, and that the latter would the n, pro bably, be prepared to entertain the question. The principal matters in the bill he had to submit for their approval were arrangements with the trustees of St. Thomas's Hospital and the Commissioners of Streets, by which certain pieces of land were taken from the hospital for additions to the station, and other pieces of land given by the company to the hospital in lieu thereof, which could not be done without the permission of Parliament. They had also power to construct cer tain works and to convert the debenture debt into 31 per cent. stock. But this could not be done g the present moment, as the state of the money-market was not favourable, but these powers would enable the com pany at a future period to avail itself of a favourable state of the market for raising money at a low rate of interest. He concluded by moving a resolution ap proving of the bill. Mr. SCHUSTER seconded the motion. A Proprietor suggested that it would be better to convert the mortgage debt of the company into ordinary stock than to create preference shares. The CHAIRMAN said, the existing acts of the company would enable them to do so if the proprietors thought it advisable, but he thought they had better have the alternative of creating a debenture stock at a low rate of interest, should it be deemed more advantageous for the company. At all events nothino . could be done in that way without consulting the shareholders. Mr. HEM APATH thought it would not be objectionable to do as suggested, if they could not borrow money at less than 41' per cent., but, as it was probable that they would be able to borrow money at some future time at 31 per cent., or less, it was necessary they should have the power to do so, should the opportunity occur of reducing the am ount paid in interest on the debenture debt. It was by re ducing the rate of intere s t on bor rowed money that the London and North-Western and other companies were shares. enabled to increase the dividend on the ordinary The lower the rate at which the company could borrow money, the better it would be for the original shareholders. (Hear, bear.) H e wished to know whether any alteration had been made in the arrangement with the Crystal Palace Company since it had been approved of by the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said, the only alteration in the original agreement was, that in place of guaranteeing a cer t a i n re turn on 75,0001., they had enlarged their operations, and extended the amount to 150,0001. The plans relating to the Crystal Palace had gradually become Mr. MARSHALL reported from the committee on this bill that the proposedcapital of the company is 250,0001. and the amount of loan 83,3331. The length of the main line is 6 miles 16 chains, and that of the branch is 4 furlongs 7 chains. There is ,one tunnel proposed, of which the length is 1,220 yards, the breadth 23 feet 6 inches, and the height 25 feet. The steepest gradient is 1 in 100, and the smallest radius of a curve 15 chains. It is intended to cross one road on a level, The estimated cost of the railway is 250,000/., and the quantity of land required is 72 acres. Mr. Stephen. son and Mr. Berkeley were the engineers examined in support of the bill, and no engineer was examined in opposition to it. 16 petitions from various persons were presented against the bill, but on 13 of them no appearanc es were entered.. The majority of the petitions alleged that the land of the petitioners was intended to be laid out for building, and the property would be in jured by the railway passing through it. The commit tee were satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of view,' of the proposed railway, and had inserted in the bill provisions for securing its completion. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN (ST. ALBAN'S, &C.). Mr. EGERTON reported from the committee that the proposed line is to be executed out of funds which the company is at present authorised to raise. The length of the line is 7 miles 3 furlongs, the steepest gradient being 1 in 76, and the smallest radius of a curve 4 fur longs. It is intended to cross on the level five public roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 70,0001., and the quantity of land required is 85,1- acres. Mr. 11. Wood house and Mr. W. Baker were the engineers examined in support of the bill ; and Mr. Adie, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Gregory in opposition to the Amersham branch contemplated by the bill, but afterwards struck out by the committee. The committee were satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN (SHREWSBURY AND NEWTOWN). Colonel BOLDERO reported from the committee that they had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK, YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND AND LEEDS NORTHERN (AMALGAMATION). Mr. BAILLIE reported from the committee that the bill, as passed by them, was confined to the re-issue by the York and North Midland Railway Company of the 1 Hull and Selby purchase shares, and provisions conse- Tient thereupon. ---_ Ocr 4 Crir r , e 4o od :)" Ofr Qa, ~~,. 0 3 oOr' LIS t op, 1 auo l ' O.

THE MONTH OF MIDSUMMER.- This month every one thinks of enjoyment and relaxation, and numerous inducements are presented to excursionists. On the one hand, by the cheap and convenient modes of travelling. and, on the other, by extraordinary attractions which may gratify every taste, for a journey to France or the Continent, orfor a trip to •hobham to sec the Encampment, or for an excursion to witness the operations of Nature and Art at a greater distance, the first and most essential preparation is a supply of SUMMER ATTIRE from the ESTABLISHMENT of E. MOSEA and SON. Amplification may be dispensed with, since it is universally known that the DRESS made 1,J3 , E. MOSES and SON is far more suitable for the SUMMER SEASON, or for any Season, than the Goods obtained elsewhere. The materials are proof against Sunbeams, Dust, and Showers. The styles are the most celebrated which have been pro duced, and are not only the first links in the chain of fashion, but the most comfortable designs ever introduced, either for juveniles or adults, for sportsmen or for every business, profession, and occupa tion. Elegance, Novelty, Durability, Fashion, and Comfort is com bined with every novel description of ATTIRE, to Measure or Ready made, at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The greatest distinction in Quality and Style, and the same rates of Prices are observed in the HAT and CAP department, in the GENERAL HOSIERY section, and In the Dress Department for Ladies and Children. The most extensive Stock of BOOTS and SHOES, of peerless quality, and every article charged considerably lower prices than at any other Establishment in the world. EMIGRATION TO THE COLONIES. Emigrants will not leave England before they have selected their Outfits, and purchased the Clothing necessary for their voyage and their pursuits in a different climate. The facilities possessed by E. MOSES and SON in Outfitting are, like those of their other branches of business, perfectly unrivalled, both in the quality, suitability, and price of the Goods. It is now well known throughout this country and the Colonies that B. MOSES and SON'S Clothing and Outfits for Emigrants are the cheapest and best investments The gigantic Wholesale De partment offers the greatest advantages ' to Merchants, Shippers, and Emigrants to all parts of the world. Si sip sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentremen, may be had on appli cation, or post free to any part of the kit igdom. CAUTION.—E.

The effect, of false principle in commercial legis lation has been seldom. better illustrated than on the subject of Newspaper Stamps. .W 0 have al ready explained in detail what must _before have been understood generally—that we ourselves have been heavy sufferers by the operation of the existing law. On this point, however, the Times is nothing to the public. Whether any particular journal loses or gains under any particular scheme of taxes is no matter of public concern. The question turns exclusively on the principles by which the system is regulated, and on the influence which those principles can be shown to exert upon the fair pro gress of trade and the interests of the whole community. If the reader will divest himself of the idea that the subject is unpopular or intricate, we undertake that in five minutes he shall be in a position to form as good an opinion upon it as. any financial economist. The law selected by Mr. Gladstone for amend ment provides that a newspaper shall be taxed in proportion to its excellence, •not according to its market price, in the sense in which ad vatorem duties are imposed, but according to its intrinsic goodness, the price remaining the same. The value of a newspaper consists in the accuracy and extent of information on all current topics,n the fulness and.faithfuhisss of its reports,,,a94onally, in the variety of its communications respecting the mutual wants of its readers. But all these conditions of value are inevitably conditions of bulk or space, whereas superficial space is exactly the thing selected for taxation. The Times costs sd.—neither more nor less ; the tax upon it may be ld., did., or 2d. It is, of course, our interest to pay - as little duty as possible, but we could only do this by efforts directly opposed to the interests' of the Go vernment, the Exchequer, and the public. The public wants the largest possible amount of in structive matter, but the larger we make this amount the more heavily we are taxed. Yester day we reported the debate on the Ballot at a length of 13 columns, besides 5 columns of debate on other subjects. These reports absorbed no less than three-eighths of the entire space allowed us by Law under a single duty, and obliged us to purchase fresh space by paying the duty over again. Had we mutilated or garbled or condensed the debates, or had we omitted intelligence of interest from other quarters, we might have kept the tax down to 1-id. and saved our money ; but we preferred to tell the public all it desired to know, and were fined 2d. for our choice. For givin g the country a good newspaper instead of a bad one, we were taxed a halfpenny on every copy of that day's im pression ; had we published a bad newspaper in stead of a good one, we should have saved exactly that sum. Again, inasmuch as Government—that is to say, the national Exchequer—derives a contri bution from every copy of the Times struck off, from every advertisement it contains, and from every ream of paper consumed in the day's im pression, it is manifestly the interest of Government that the impressip should be as large and the advertisements as numerous as possible. Adver tisers, or in other words the public generally, have precisely the same interest, for the greater number of copies we put in circulation the greater is .the notoriety given to their announcements. But the law operates directly to the discouragement of our enterprise in this respect, and compels us either to contract our publication or to expand it at a loss. The sum received for the advertisements of any day's paper is at a fixed sum, and is not affected by the number of copies published 2 • b u t according to the number of copies published the tax upon the day's impression rises or falls, and, as no addition is made to the price of each paper for any addi tional duty incurred, it follows that the more we go on printing the more we have to pay, till at last we publish at an actual loss. Nothing can be clearer than that throughout all such arrangements our own interests, as newspaper publishers, are needlessly thrown into collision with those of the public as newspaper purchasers, and that whereas, if uninterfered with, we should be giving our cus tomers the greatest possible consideration for their money, we are now impeded by false legislation in this province of trade. -- Mr. Gladstone, in his general revision - iOnof fiscal errors, could of course not overlook such palpable abuses as these, and he accordingly proposed at first to remove all duties from newspaper supple ments " containing advertisements wholly." This was an imperfect conception, for it retained the false principle of a tax graduated by excellence, and merely introduced an exceptional modification in favour of the practice of advertising. But a newspaper, as we have before said, has no "adver tisement sheet," distinguishable from any other sheets. Advertisements are simply part and par cel of newspaper contents, and, whether they enter largely or slightly into the composition of the paper, cannot affect its taxable qualities at all. To exempt the 9th page of a newspaper when it contained ad vertisements, and tax it when it contained other intelligence, was either a very arbitrary or a very inconsistent proceeding. Mr. Gladstone has now remodelled his resolutions, has omitted altogether the distinction drawn from the contents of a page, and proposes, instead of taxing a single supple ment at a halfpenny, and a double one at a penny, to tax the double one at a halfpenny, and lot the single one go free. This is nothing more nor less than a simple reduction of the old duties in pecu niary amount—the principle being still retained — and is an error exactly analogous to that committed in the Ministerial India Bill, by curtailing the remedy when the evil stands convicted. At pre sent the law permits us to give our customers, when they ask for the Times, a newspaper 1,530 inches in extent, but no larger. Mr. Gladstone proposes to expand this limit to 2,295 inches, so that a news paper may be half as big again as it formerly was ; but at this point lie commences a graduated. tax, as before. We used to be fined if we sold 12 pages instead of 8 for sd. ; we shall now be fined if we sell 16 instead of 12, and this is the whole scope of the amendment. Now, we take leave to say—and we appeal con fidently to the sense of the public in confirmation of the assertion—that this species of differential taxation is false in itself, and opposed to the inte rests of all parties alike. No restriction whatever should be placed on the size, or, in other words, the excellence, to which newspapers can attain . A wide limit ' is, of course, better than a narrow ono, and to this extent Mr. Gladstone's proposal is good ; but there ought to be no limit at all. In fact, there is but one consideration which could supply even a pretext for such interference with the transactions of commerce, and that is, that, as newspapers tra vel post-free, an unlimited size might encumber the mails. But to this there is the plain answer, that the price must always be a sufficient regulator. Really, we scarcely know how to receive the repre sentations on this score. We have been honoured with a good many compliments, but never with such as are applied in this assumption. It is posi tively argued that there is no limit whatever to the excellence of the commodity we could supply for 5d., if we were not tied down by Act of Parlia single page of our copies, and ment. With every every single copy of our impressions, our expenses for materials and machinery must of course in crease, while our charge for the Times is stand ing still. But all these obstacles, which would be insurmountable in any other case, are nothing at all, it seems, in our own. Unless we are con fined by statute, we should contrive, it is said, to give the public such an infinite amount and variety of intelligence, still for the price of 5d., that at last the very mails would be unable to contain mid the carriers to deliver us. To all this we can only say, that, if such a highly American climax of enterprise should ever be attained, it will be no very bad thing for the public ; but, in the mean time, we may wait without much danger till the contingency has occurred. The truth is, • that rail ways have relieved the post to a far greater ex tent than supplements can burden it. The plain course of policy is to let the size of newspapers be regulated, like the goodness of other bargain, by the simp le rule s of trade. The more a purchaser can get for his 5d., the better, while it is out of the question that the revenne should lose. A newspaper can never evade a newspaper tax. Its publication must be regular, and its liability will return with every publication. All that can be said in favour of taxing us at all is usually repeated every session ; but, if we are to be taxed, at any rate let us be taxed by the rules of wisdom and justice. To say that the Times of any particular day, though sold and bought as a single newspaper, can be equivalent, for the purposes of taxation, to two newspapers, or one and a half, is preposterous ; to restrict a circulation of which each copy pays a duty is suicidal, and to define the amount of intel ligence which any newspaper may convey is pal pably absurd. As long as we are taxed we must all pay our taxes, and if anything indu , :.,es us to issue a double number at a double prict) we can Now, the first thing that will strike every one, in looking over this schedule, is, that one thing, and only one thing, is distinguished by the remarkable favour of being wholly "free." And what is that ? It is " One supplement to such newspaper, contain ing on one side a superfices not exceeding 765 inches." Now this is precisely what the Times newspaper (and no other paper in all London) publishes every day, or nearly every day. For thisppen it has been in the habit of paying to Exchequer something more than 20,0001. per annum. It did this, solely because ii answered its purpose to do so. The public brought to it advertisements enough, day by day, to fill this supplement, and the public paid the price asked for the publication of those advertisements. No charge was made to the buyer of the newspaper for this half-sheet of advertise ments, simply because the purchasers, not wanting it, would have objected to pay for it. Well, the whole of this 20,000/. per annum is remitted, by the Exchequer, to the proprietors of the Times. It goes directly into their pockets, for their own private use. No one supposes that this halfpenny, remitted to them, will be given to the public, or that the Times, hitherto sold. at 5d., will be sold at 41d. The loss to the Exchequer, there fore, is a mere gift to the Times. So plain is all this, that the Times felt compelled to devote, yesterday, a leading article to the vain endeavour to show the existing law to be unfair and unjust ; and the new scheme to be nothing else than a concession to justice, though only an im perfect one ! It began by describing, very accurately, the pre sent law—in the following terms : "At the reduction, however, of the stamp to its pre sent amount of a penny, it was resolved to fix an arbi trary limit on the amount of intelligence which should go to the composition of a newspaper. The act accord ingly provides that a newspaper may contain 1,530 square inches of printing, but no more ; if it exceeds this measure, but does not exceed 2,295, it is to pay duty as a newspaper and a-half ;if it should exceed 2,295, it is to pay as two newspapers—all other evidence of unity to the contrary notwithstanding. This is the law now regulating our terms of publication." This law, under which, however, the Times has. I i lived and flourished for the last ten years, is now stigmatised as " unreasonable," " impolitic, and " unjust." And—no doubt in order to secure the enormous boon which Mr. Gladstone offers—pre tences are now put forward to much more ! It is coolly asserted that the Legislature has no right to take cognisance of the size of a newspaper ; that a stamp is a stamp, and a newspaper a newspaper ; and that if any journal chose to publish half an acre of paper for each number, the Stamp Office ought to take it for a penny stamp ; and the Post Office ought to carry it to Galway or the Orkneys post free, whether it weighed ono ounce or five pounds. The gross absurdity of all this must refute itself. Still, it is our duty, as journalists, not to take things for granted, but, with brevity, to state the case on the other side. The principle observed in all parts of our fiscal system, with this one exception, is that of a taxation proportioned to the business done. One member, in the former debate asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, if a tradesman found his shop too small, and added the next house to it, he would allow him to pay house tax for one house only ? But this is only one illustration of the case. In this present budget, Mr. Gladstone proposes to lay a new licence tax upon all dealers in tea or coffee, or tobacco, and on all brewers and soap manufacturers. But does he propose one uniform tax for each class—one charge of a guinea, or five guineas, be the house and the business large or small ? Nothing of the kind. He says that the grocer or tobacconist shall pay a large tax upon a large house, and a small tax upon a small house.' So that if a man begins in a house of 1001. per an num, he is to pay for his licence 2A per cent. on that rental. But if his business increases, and he adds the next house, or otherwise increases his ac commodation, his licence duty is to rise, and to be doubled or quadrupled with the groWth of his trade and of his premises. And so it is with all other kinds of taxation. The fairness of this is obvious. If the principle advocated by the Times is the right one, that a certain fixed tax (say one penny) should be im posed, and should apply equally to the smallest and the largest newspaper, then is all the rest of our present system one of gross injustice—injustice so great that it is marvellous how the public can have so long submitted to it. In fact, Mr. Gladstone's own scheme admits this doubt. It "halts between two opinions." It neither fully adopts the proportional principle, nor yet does it fall in with the uniform system. It first lays a tax of one penny upon one large sheet. It then proceeds to order that if the proprietors choose to add a half-sheet supplement, such sup plement shall be free of duty. But at the next step the principle changes, and if two large sheets are given, then the stamp duty is to be three half pence. Now all this is very absurd. Perhaps we should rather say that it partakes of that hesitating policy which has so frequently been perceived in the same I quarter. Every plain man of business can see at ai glance that either the Times is right or it is wrong ; but that, whether it is right or wrong, the Chan cellor's proposal cannot be right. For if the Times is right in asserting that there ought to be one stamp of a penny, for which every newspaper ought to be at liberty to publish as many square yards of paper as it chooses, then Mr. Gladstone is wrong, inasmuch as he says that you may publish a sheet and a half for a penny stamp ; but that if you give two sheets you must pay three halfpence. And, on the other hand, if Mr. Gladstone be right in making a gradation of duty of the paper exceeds a certain limit, then he has wretchedly failed in applying bis own pri " nciple. He has in vented a scale which gives an enormous boon" to one paper, and which does injustice to all the rest. If there should be a graduated scale at all (and ...... One halfpenny. common sense tells us that is the only justice), then that scale should have regard to the papers which now exist, in something of the following manner One penny. 76. inches (the usual morning news-. 2 1 For Fo r Fora inchesa paper )) (Globe,a pe r not .sno..tta. 77,de. exceeding a e.re dd:n.e xceeding g. c.)l. 530 one sheet and a bait) ...............
