G. H. GORDON, Registrar of Newspapers.
Stamps and Tdxes, Aug. 28.

Memorandum as to the Return recently made to the House
of Commons of the Number of Stamps supplied to each
of the London and Country Newspapers, from the Ist

of January, 1832, to the 30th of June, 1833.
Three mistakes have been discovered in this return,
arising from oversight on the part of the officer in the
Newspaper department, whose duty it was to prepare it.
The papers as to which these errors occurred are—
The Sunday Tinges.
The Town.
The Weekly Dispatch, and the Country Times.

. -
In the first case the officer only stated the ❑umber of
stamps taken out in the year 1832, and omitted those
obtained in the six months of the year 1833. In the
second the above error was reversed, as the number in the
six months of 1833 was stated, but the number in 1832
left out. I❑ the last instance the error consisted in set-
ting down the stamps as furnished for these two pipe's
belonging to one proprietor, whereas the Country Times
was discontinued on the 31st of December, 1831, and the
stamps taken out from thence to the 30th of June, 1833,
were required for• the Weekly Dispatch alone.
Supposing, however, that the retorts had been correct
transcripts of the books in this office, it is worthy of re-
mark, that they would not have afforded accurate informa-
tion as to the circulation of newspapers. The circum-
stances hereafter detailed will show that such returns must
be always incomplete and fallacious.
In the instance of the London newspapers the account
may approach to tolerable correctness, as the stamps are
usually obtained by the parties directly front this office ;
but it may be obsei ved, that these papers borrow from
each other, and we have also reason to believe that agents
of country papers have been induced by London printers
to take out stamps in the name of the latter which were
intended for country use, so that even with regard to the
London papers perfect accuracy cannot be attained.
But in the case of country papers still less reliance can
be placed o❑ these accounts. The supply of stamps to
country papers is effected through London stationers and
paper makers, and sometimes also through country sta-
tioners. These persons take out large quantities of stamps,
and furnish them, from time to time, to the respective
newspapers as required. It is only from the returns made
by those stationers that the number of stamps obtained by
each country paper are known at this office. The sta-
tioners are bound to make these returns, but in general
they furnish them with much reluctance and irregularity,
and frequently omit them altogether. It is well known
that the Board have no means of detecting or punishing
any misstatement, and it is, therefore, believed, that eve❑
when furnished, little regard is paid to accuracy.
The trouble occasioned at this office ought not to be a
consideration, if the returns were really a source of useful
and authentic information. But the preceding obsetva•
tions show that no useful results arise ; on the contrary,
such returns occasion endless coniplaints from persons
whose circulation is under• rated, and on whom positive
injury is thus inflicted.

It is, therefore, worthy of consideration, whether similar
Returns should in future be showed. J. W. (WOOD).

STATE OF THE SILK AND COTTON
TRADE IN LANCASHIRE.-The silk-weaving buainesq
for eight or ten miles round Manchester, is very brisk,
'
considering the season of the year. There is little or no
waiting ; all seem to have full work. Wages are low, yet
there has been no reduction in wages this year. A few
finer reeds are changing to middle qualities, and the
figured or fancy weavers may earn, on an average, from
12s. to 16r. per week; the plain sarsenet weavers from
Ss. to 10s. per week ; whilst the poor cotton hand-loom
weavers cannot earn more than from ss. Gil. to 7s. per
week. The cotton spinning branch appears to be reviving
a little at Rochdale and Heywood. At the former place
only two mil s are working short time, and those, which
are power-loom mills, are expected every day to begin to
work full time. The woollen trade at Rochdale, and the
neighbourhood, has not been so brisk for the last fifteen
years past. The men have all full work ; wages have
been advanced ; and the weavers and spinners of finer
qualities seem to want a further advance, which the ma-
nufacturers appear unwilling to give. The woollen spin-
ners can earn from 121. to 14s. per week, and some can
get even more; the weavers can earn from 10s. to 12s.
per week, and the superior hands can wake 15s, to 16s.
per week.
