NOTICE TO PAPER-MAKERS.

The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities
and anomalies incidental to the collection of the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
exposing, as connected with the adverli eraent duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so much to the abolition of the
wiper duty as a systematic attack upon the injustice which it inflict
in individual cases. The association will therefore feet obliged by
any addiition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtaining redress in any individuals
case of grievance. _ _

Subscriptions to be paid to Iliersrs. Prescott and Grote, Thread
needle.street ; to the treasurer, J. A. Novell°, 69, Dean.strect,

All other communications should be addressed to the secretary.—
