NEWSPAPER STAMPS.

A return of the number of Stamps issued to all News-
papers for five months, from Ist July to 30th November,
has just been published, for which at present we have not
room. We merelyadrert to itto•day,in sonsequenecoragross
misrepresent.aticn contained in the Standard of last evening.
That veracious oracle, not content with giving the return
for the five months according to the Parliamentary Re-
turn, goes back and adds the last return for the provious
six months of the year. Having stated this, the Standard
goes on to say—

From these Oicial documents it will be seen that the
Standard and the St. James' Chronicle, still take the lead
of all Contemporaries, each in its respective class." With
the latter Paper we have nothing to de ; and we only now
wait to learn whether the Standard means to insist, that its
present circulation exceeds that of The Sun, or even
comes anything up to it ?
In a day or two we shall expose the fallacyand utterhumbug
of these Parliamentary returns. A certain Journal, wish-
►ng to cut a figure among its advertising would-be
connection, purchases two or three m•nths' stamps in ad-
vance, just towards the close of a month, and then gets an
obsequious Member to move for the return of Stamps,
ece.! ! The wiseacre thinks that in deserving himself, ho
will deceive other people.

THE NEW NOVEL, f‘ LOVE."—Lady Charlotte
could not have paid a finer compliment to her sex than by
painting " Mabel Elton;" nor, if rightly understood, is the
conception of the character of Miss Clermont, extraordinary
as it is, less complimentary. ligal life, we are sure, has many
Mabel Eltons ; we would fain believe that Miss Clermonts
are "scarcer than phcenixes." The gentlemen aro certainly
not complimented by the picture of Lord Herbert it must
be unpleasantly true to many readers ; while there may be
people living who could point out more than one or two ori-
ginals of Sir Charles Lennard, though his point of depravity
is not everywhere or easily to be attained.— Couri Journal.

RAFF HALL.--Attempts seem to be making of
late to turn the tide of public attention trim the sayings and
doings of the high world to those of the middle ranks, 'We
have just had one very interesting illustration of this fact in
the admirable novel of Mr. Horace Smith, entitled "Jane
Lomax;" and the title of Mr, Sulivan's new work, just an-
nounced, would seem to indicate a production of the same
order. Whether " Raff Hall" is situated in the locelitY Of
St. Giles's or St. James's we are at present, however,
in the
dark. In any case the talents of the writer give promise of
a work full of amusement, character, and knowledge of human
life and society.

O'CONNELL AND THE TRADES COMBINATION.

—The meeting which took place in Dublin on Monday last,
and the report of which we were enabled by an express to lay
before the readers of The Sun on the following Wednesday
did not conclude till nearly nine otelueg. i'4', Q'Cppnell
proceeded to deal with his subject at gieat length. geveral
other gentlemen addressed the meeting, most of them in
favour of Mr. O'Connell. Tho business concluded by the
chairman bringing feret,ed a resolution to the effect that a
tradesmen's hall, with suitable cmnfitiqer.rooms, should b,
erp,:t44 the city. The proposition was rcceivo4 loud
acclamations,Yr; 9'Connell and Mr. Purcell .4npouneed,
amidst continued chee;.;og, that they would 'subsCrilie 100/.
each towards the undertaking. iiever4 other gentlemen put
down their names for various sums.
