8n —ln pinnace of our ius..netion, we beg to lay be-
ing pia our °pima of the probable ogee's on the stamp
nwesue, which will be prcduci.d by the bill new beton the
How of Conon&

It will be la your recollectioe, that when towards the elm
of lea year we received directuou to prepare a new sump
bill, so fu as retards the duties on bind., conveyances,
naortnre, laws, sad settlements, we stated that it would
be very diniesit to calculate the amount of nveusit whin
would be lost or gained by an mltsration in the present sell*
of stamp duulse; beeauve a stamp of a given amount will
serve for several description of deeds liable to duty; and
when a party purchases a stamp, he is not required to state
for what description of iagtrusatat it is intended. For tit.
ample, a U. stamp may be awed on an appraiseateat,
appreatice ladasutre, Untie sad isle, money bond, annuity
baud, tummies, Wee, power of attorney,
warrant of attorney, or peoßnriunduly ; and se with the
other ad valorem stamp duties up to 26i. beyond which
amount almost all ad valorous stamps an used for convey-
Sun.
_ _

111• total prinks. of duty paid for stamps of automats
which Wild beused for bonds, ssortirstes, sad coaveynnerea,
se wed es for mine other instrumests, in last year, was
1,390,0004. inn the hest estimate that ma be made by lb.
mat ex pestaseed officers of the stamp dePar
1,000,000 i. of this amount may be taken u the pried=
ad oakweni ditties ; of which it is supposed that about two-
s/Was arise from conveyancer and transfers of property.
Amusing this estimate to be correct, it will be seta by the
maenad table, which was submitted to you la December I
last, that by the then proposed redaction of daty on convey-
Gam, from the present rates toe rate of 10s. per east. spa,
6004., of 1k pay VIAL howlec 6001. and 1,0004, sad of a
kiwi rate of see per cent. above that sweat, th•
lot *a the seaman* daty alone will not be
Imo ilea 200,0004 per scam. This low was so
timated, irrespectively of that which would Ode
from thetatal repeal of the harpist and ..l. dot&fts

afforded by a sisedu reduction of such stamp duties is
