ABOLITION OF THE EXCISE DUTY ON
PAPER.
At a Public Meeting of Gentlemen, interested In the ABOLITION
of the EXCISE DUTY on PAPER, held at the King's Arms,
Palace-yard, on Wednesday, January the 29th instant—
T. B. CROMPTON, Esq., in the ChOr—

the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Moved by Mr. WILLIAM CHAMBERS, of Edinburgh, and seconded b;
Mr. CHARLES 11NIGIIT :

"That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the Excise Duty on Paper
acts as a grievous impediment to the progress of sound popular
Instruction, inasmuch as it bears with a ruinously unequal pressure
upon those cheap and useful publicat,ons, which form the best
medium for the communlcatbn of elementary and general know-
ledge."
sloved by Mr. JOHN CASSELL, and seconded by Mr. SAMUEL CARTER
HALL :

" That this duty, originally imposed as a war tax, is based upon
grounds d rectly opposed to all the acknowledged principles of sound
fiscal legislation, because, amounting as it does, in frequent in-
stances, to a tax of 300 per cent. upon the raw material, a material
totally worthless for any other purpose, but worked up into an
article of indispensable utility by the application of industry, it falls
with almost its entire weight directly upon the employment of
labour, thus destroying at its very source the first and most impor-
tant element of national wealth."
Moved by Mr. HOLDEN, of Manchester, and seconded by Mr. Cot-
__

LING, of Ulasgow :
" That in the manufacture of paper not men only, but large num.
hers of women and children, are employed, in a manner highly con-
sistent with all that appertains to health and morality, not only iu
the neighbourhood of large and populous towns, but also and chiefly
in the rural districts, where employment is scarce and poor rates
high, and that the impetus which must be given to the trade by a
repeal of this duty would theref.re incalculably benefit the agricul-
tural population, as well by the consumption of a material produced
by their own industry, as by the beneficial employment of their
surplus labour."

Moved by Mr. Jamas BetnwlN, of Birmingham, and seconded by
P. Boazuwlcx, Esq. :
" That the uses to which paper is already applied are so many
and varlcus as to render its cheapness one of the first requisites of a
people daily advancing in commerce and civilization, and that the
purposes to the effecting of which its use might and would still be
e, tended, but for the high price created by the tax, are almost
ir fl, ite both in number and importance to the progress of science and
art."

Moved by Mr. Slam, of Bingley, and seconded by Mr. E.Woomaa,
of Exeter:

"That the kollowing resoltitionsareprodigiously strengthened by
the three follbWing considerations, namely :
" let, That thig..taxis ehorheoualy chaproporttoued to-the -.natio-of
the raw material, so as to prudent an inducement to fraud almost too
strong for human Integrity to resist: and, at the same time, that the
mode of collecting it is such as to render fraud ea•iy and inviting.
The fair trader is thus continually exposed to unprincipled compe

'• 2d. That the oppressive injustice of this tax has successfully di-
rected the skill and ingenuity of manufacturers to its evasion, by the
fabrication of many articles, so precisely the same in their
completed state with paper itself, as to be substituted for it in use,
an i yet so adroitly varied in the process of manufacture as to ren-
der it impossible for the Board of Excise to claim the duty—an
advantage which tends to the utter ruin of the licensed paper manu-
facturer.

"And 3dly. That the continuance of this tax is not more mani-
festly unjust in itself, and injurious to the gcueral interests of the
community, than it is absurdly inconsistent with precedent. For
while the raw material of cotton has been relieved from a burden of
not mere than from 5 to a per cent, it is monstrous that the refuse
of that very same raw material, used for the manufacture of paper,
should bear the unheard-ofimpoit of 300 per cent."
Moved by Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN, and seconded by Mr. PHILIP

PERMANENT ENLARGEMENT OF

THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
On and after the 4th February, the MORNING ADVERTISER

in circulation among the daily papers.
The Proprietors of the MORNING ADVERTISER have made the
most liberal and comprehensive arrangements, both at home and
abroad, for rendering their journal as complete as possible in its va-
rious departments. They have appointed able and active correspon-
dents in all parts of the Continent, in America, and in the leading
towns of, Great Britain and Ireland.
A great accession of talent has also been secured for the Editorial
columns of the paper ; while every attention will be paid to the Lite-
rature of the day. The Sporting department will be comilded to
"Yates,"- confessedly the most eminent Sporting writer of the age.

and is the strenuous advocate of the cause of Popular Progress. It
has peculiar means of access to important Political Information—in
proof of which the Proprietors refer to its columns for some months
past, and to the great extent to which quotations are made from it
by the metropolitan and provincial press.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted w ith ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of tm-
ceasing misery and regret.

THE WIDOW if the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLES, of Fernley, Suvrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31,1850.—Atbearnest APPEALto public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by a few friend,' andneighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late ißev. GEORGE lEDWARD HOLIEST,
who for a period of la years,in an exemplary, manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was saddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the mesas of making a provislan
for his widow. Under such circumstances, It N hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generals consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assitance can alleviate, the distress of a
faintly se fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these Inadequate meats. Subscriptions
will be thankthily received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. William% Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, ant! Co. ; Messrs. Ceuta, and Co.; Messrs.

The difficulty of collecting the elements en which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
