are now in progress towards practical development. These
are: Ist. The penny post and hourly deliveries in London.
2nd. The Parcel Delivery Company, Parcel Mail Com-
pany, and Post Parcel Company. 3rd. The half-
penny, penny and twopenny steamers. 4th. The
twopenny, and threepenny, and penny a mile omni-
buses. sth. The Economic Brougham and Cabriolet
Company, limited to fel. per mile, and guaranteed against
impositions. It is obvious, he adds, that these commu-
nications fir transit bring in a new state of things, as regards
the facilities for a comfortable residence at a distance from
the localities of ordinary occupation. A merchant, a trades- I
man, a clerk, or even a journeyman mechanic may, with '
such facilities at his command, have his dwelling in &healthy
and open neighbourhood, two or three miles from the crowded
centres of the metropolis, where it may be necessary for him
to attend in the pursuit of his trade or profession. The
value of property at a distanee from these centres, will con-
sequently be enhanced ; and even the poorest classes enabled
to enjoy healthful and commodious dwellings. The attention
of the eiwners of property, and of the gublic generally, only
requires to be directed to the great interest they have in pro-
moting the suceesa of these signal improvements.
TEA DUTIES.—Sir: The proposition made in your
paper of the 11th instant to impose an ad vakrens duty on
tea, I think is liable to the three following objections:-Ist.
Because it would interfere with the freedom of trade, by
enforcing a peculiar mode of transacting the business of that
trade. 2ndly. Because it would introduce a new and incon-
venient system of taxation upon imported commodities.
And, 3rdly, Because it would not be • settlement of the
question. Ins ead of your plan, I would propose a reduc-
tion of 4 id. per pound upon all descriptions annually, for
four years, that is, until the duty was reduced to Bd. per
pound, which I think should be the maximum duty. This
is a principle for which we have preoedents recently in
corn, sugar, and timber; and it is a safe one, because
the loss to the revenue eaa be nearly ascertained
and provided fur, and will not exceed 700,0001. per
annum, supposing there was no increase of consump-
tion consequent upon the reduction; while there is
good reason to suppose, there would be a considerable in-
crease in the consumption koth of that article and of sugar
in consequence of the reduction, besides what may be ex-
pected from a rapidly increasing population. I would make
a similar proposition with regard to tobacco ; because, if we
must wait until the revenue could sustain a toes, at " one
fell swoop," to the extent required, without apprehenaion to
any Chancellor of the Exchequer, having the fear of Bedlam
before his eyes, that time would never arrive. But in regard
to this article, 1 would at once reduce the duty of fore len
manufactured to the. same rate as unmanutactured tobacco,
because an enormous quantity of the former is introduced
into this country without the payment of any duty, and,
therefore, I am confident a reduction to this extent would
not involve any loss of revenue, while it would put an end
to an illicit trade.—l am, your most obedient servant,
TAFFY.—St. Asaph, Dec. 12.

With the exception of Spanish and Portuguese, in which

RAILWAYS.
The market has been rather flat to-day, with the
pricer of same lines in decline, among them Caltilonians, and
Shrewsbury and Dlrminahams. North, Di lush, and Oxford
and Birmingham, however, were better. The French lines
are worse also, and so come from Paris.

Ltvettroot, wind has not varied
since our last, and, except for a few hours, the frost has con-
tinued with unabated severity. Several American ships
base, however, worked up with a lc ir quantity of Wheat,
Indian Corn, and Flour, but from all other quarters we are
almost wholly without fresh arrivals. During the past two
days increasing firmness has characterised the trade gene-
rally, and a large business has been repeated in the leading
articles, both for consumption and on speculation, at still
improving rates. The country &deices all come higher. This
morning's market opened with much firmness on the part of
holders, but was not numerously attended ; still, a consider-
able quantity of Wheat found purchasers, much of it for
Ireland, at prices about 3d. per bushel over those of Tuesday
lass. Free Flour was 6d. per barrel dancer, but not active
sale. Malting Barley must be noted Is. per quarter, and
grinding parcels 3d. to 441. per 601 b. higher, with scarcely
any remaining unsold. Beans and l'eas were held 2s. to
:is. er quarter beyond our last currer.ey, and floating car-
goesp of the former in request. Oats commanded an advance
each. per 45 lb., and Oatmeal of Is. to '2s. per load, and for
a steady sale was experienced. Of Indian Corn the
market is nearly bare, and still higher rates have been ob.
ta'ued for the little on sale here. Bonded Flour, of which
some considerable sales have been made during the week,
up to 365. 6d., again receded to to-day at which rate a
few thousand barrels changed hands. Arrivals from the 15th
to the 17th Dec. inclusive ;-Wll.at, 5,456 qrs. • Malt. 25 ;

of all descriptions of Wheat, English as well as foreign, with
a brisk demand. Wheat way be quoted fully 4s. dearer than
last week. Barley unaltered in value. Other grain very
firm, and a trifle (fearer.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS, DEC. 18.-There was very
little business done at our market to-day, in c.asequence c
the farmers asking 39. and Gs., and in some ~.ouch
Ss. per qr. more tor their Wheats than on last Friday ; ant
the little di position there appeared on the part of the millers
to odsance more than 3s. or 4s. per qr. on last Friday'
prices. In Oats, Beans, and Barley there was about the
usual amount of business, at firm prices. The prices were-
Wheat, white, 635. to 68s. per qr.; do., red, 57a to fills.
Beans, 43'. to 495. Barley, grinding, 335. to 38s. Oat.,

lixtratix:e, Dec. 17.--The Wheat market was ins
derately large to-day, and the prices considerably higher
being front 151. to 20/. There was no alteration in other
grain, but it made fully the prices of last Thursday. Wheat,

WAKEFIELD, Dec. 8.-Our arrivals of grain are
small, and the canals are now completely stopped by the ice,
consequently, until a change of weather, business will be re-
stricted. The show of Wheat from granary is pretty good,
upo which an advance of fully Is. per qr. is obtained. Bari-
2s. per qr. dearer. Oats are Id. per stone, and shelling A
per load higher ; and Beans bring ls. to '2s. more moue)
Other articles as before. At all the ports there continues it
great demand for Ireland ; the sales are in a great
measure confined to second and inferior descrip-
tions of Wheat. In consequence of Chistmas day
the market next week will be held on Thursday

much decreased.
LIMERICK, Dec. 16.-We had only a few load.
Wheat at market to-day again ;in fact, for a long time,
have nothing in the aggregate even to constitute a marl
such as we usually have forward at this period. No,
there seem any symptoms of larger deliveries. Prices no
