THE NEW STAMP ACT.—On the let proximo the
new Stamp Act, passed in the late session, will come into
operation. The statute contains as many as 128 sections,
with a long list of duties set forth, chewing the stamps for
all legal and other documents. Among the duties is one
of a penny stamp on voting papers. All receipts for £2
and upwards must bear a stamp, under a penalty of £lO.

MR. OTWAY AND LORD ENFIELD.—The London
correspondent of the Manchester Courier says :—I have
not met anyone who can give a reasonable explanation of
Mr. Otway's sudden exit from the Foreign office. He is
not a man to leave of his own accord, so the preparations
for kicking him out must have been very decided indeed
before he took the hint. I suspect it is a private
difference between himself and his chief. Mr.
Otway is just the man to presume beyond
his proper functions, and Lord Granville is
just the man not to stand any liberties. The
public service decidedly gains by the substitution of Lord
Enfield, who is modest and unassuming, but clear-headed
and painstaking. I happen to know that Mr. Disraeli
has a high opinion of his abilities, and there is not a
keener and sounder judge of men 'in England than Mr.
Disraeli. I remember that when Lord Enfield first came
into the House as Mr. Byng he was pointed at as the
rising hope of the Whig party, the astyanax of the
" family connection," who for a generation or so was to
spare them the ignominy of borrowing leaders from other
sets.
