THE UNSTAMPED PRESS OF THE METROPOLIS.
—The circulation of the unstamped penny papers published in
London has reached an enormous amount. There are now
published every Saturday a greater number of these penny
papers than there are of those regularly established journals
who pay annually a large sum to Government for stamps and
advertisement duty. Latterly the proprietors of the un-
stamped papers seer to have taken it into their heads that
they are recognized by the Government, and that their publi-
cations are legal ; and therefore they adopt every means to
give their journals all the features of a regular newspaper, in
order to, increase their sale. Formerly these papers were pub-
lished with some little show of concealment and disguise ; but
now they are regularly sold at stated intervals without the
least let or hindrance, just the same as the established news-
papers. Several of those which formerly appeared in the
form of a pamphlet, now assume the appearance of a regular
newspaper ; and a person at a cursory glance could not ascer-
tain the difference. Some are five-column papers, the front
page composed of advertisements, taken at a low rate, but
which, of course, yield a great profit to the proprietors, as no
stamp duty is paid by them ; and the other pages are regu-
larly filled up with the ordinary routine of news, leaders, &c.
in fact, they combine every essential of a newspaper. Calcu-
lations have been made, on good grounds, that the combined
circulation of the unstamped papers amounts weekly to more
than 300,000 in number.
CORONER'S INQUEST.- Yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Carter and a respectable jury sat at the Greyhound, Kenning_
ton common, to inquire touching the death of Mr. Edward
Druce, aged 54, a retired tradesman, who terminated his ex-
istence, by shooting himself with a horse-pistol, at his resi-
dence, No. 8, Church-street, Kennington. After the evidence
of the surgeon who examined the wound had been taken, Miss
Davies stated, that she was niece by marriage to the deceased,
who brought her up when a child, and wished her about six
months ago to be with him. About five minutes before the
fatal event, he called her in, when she gave him a glass of
water, and he told her that he was very ill, and that he did not
think ho should live long. On the day previous, he said that
his heart was broken; on account of his afflictions, and that was
more than he could bear. A few days ago the pistol was not
loaded. Powder and bullets he had by him for some years.
After a short consultation the jury returned e 'verdict of
" Temporary insanity."
