of the Sixty-fourth Great Lottery, and that Orders can be given
for the succeeding SIXTY-FIFTH LOTTERY. In former Lot-
tcr,es they have received several applications for TICKETS OF A
NUMBER ANSWERING TO THE NUMBER OF BANK
NOTES REMITTED. It is of course impossible to attend to
such requests, if the orders are not given BEFORE THE COM-
MENCEMENT OF SALE. They therefore now beg to inform
the Public, that the Tickets of the Sixty-fifth Hamburg Great
Lottery will begin selling on the 26th of NEXT MONTH, and
all Orders for Tickets OF THE SAME NUMBER AS THE
BANK NOTE SENT WITH THE ORDER, must reach them
before that day, and Bank Notes, to answer that purpose, must not
bear a higher Number than 10,000.
Those remitting a Ten-pound Note, will receive an Order for
the Balance and a full Share, together with the Ticket. Should
the desired Number be already disposed of, the Bank Note will be
returned by the First Mail. Orders of this description must be
directed without delay to

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1834.

There is one fact which alone is sufficient to show
how far behind the French are in commercial know-
ledge, and that is, that the amount of her duties of
export appear to exceed her duties of import. We at
one time fell into the mistake of prohibiting export,
and of levying duties on import. But now, with the
exception of 10s. per cent. upon all articles exported,
the only articles upon which any export duties are
levied are coats, hare and coney skins, hare wool and
coney wool, sheep and lamb wool, and woolfels. The
whole should be repealed. No obstacle whatever
should be interposed to the export of any branch of
home industry.

But though our mistakes in imposing duties of
export have been removed, those we have made in
duties of import still remain. Our duties of customs
had for their foundation the ancient grants of tonnage
and poundage originally made in tenths and fifteenths,
and no otherwise known than as they appeared in the
book of rates at the Custom-house, from whence they
were transferred to the 12 Car. 2, c. 4, of which they
form the schedule. They have received additions
from time to time by per centages granted by various
Acts of Parliament, and the duties now levied have
been lately consolidated by the 3d and 4th William
111., c. 56. We have already shewn that they are
excessive and erroneous in the case of cotton, linen,
silk, and woollen. But they are all excessive, and
may be stated to be so in the lump, from this cir-
cumstance alone, namely, that from the rise which has
taken place in the value of money, general prices have
fallen about one-half since 1810, so that our duties of
customs, if they were even moderate then, must be
excessive now. Each and all of them therefore should
be carefully examined. The price of every article ex-
ported in 1810 should be ascertained, and also the pre-
sent price of every article exported now, and also the
export duty paid then, as well as the export
duty paid now, which last should be apportioned
so as to bear a relative amount to the present price,
at all events not exceeding the relative amount which
it bore to the price in 1810. But this is not enough.
Many of the duties of customs were excessive in 1810,
and after their relative amounts shall be made to
correspond to prices now, their amount will be
excessive still. This is a matter of great import-
ance both for the well-being of the industry of
the country, and the well-being of its revenue. Every
mercantile man knows that a large mercantile income is
derived not from large profits upon a few articles sold,
but from small profits upon a great number, or a great
quantity. So a large public revenue is to be derived, not
from heavy duties of import upon a small number, or a
small quantity of articles imported, but from light du-
ties upon a great number and a great quantity. The
price of every thing has fallen, and probably may con-
tinue to fall, from the operation of a cause beyond
mortal control. Individuals are obliged to yield to its
operation, in bringing down prices. The Govern-
ment must yield to it likewise, in lowering duties. It
is impossible, with justice, to say that, though the
price of the article upon which a tax is levied
has fallen one half, that the same amount of
tax shall continue to be levied, that was paid
when the article was twice its present price.
