THE WHOLESALE STATIONERS.

A deputation of wholesale stationers waited
upon Mr. Gladstone to submit a statement as to the
claims of the trade for full allowance of drawback
on the abolition of the paper duty.
Baron ROTHSCHILD, M.P., introduced the depu-
tation, and urged the claims of the deputation to a
full allowance of drawback on the stock of paper
in hand, which the wholesale stationers regarded
not only as a question of justice, but also of expe-
dierey, as unless that was granted they would be
great losers by the proposal of the Government.
Mr. CRATER, a member of the deputation, said
they anticipated a great fall in the price of paper
after the first of July, should the duty cease on that
day.

Air. GLADSTONE remarked—Then your view of
the matter differs very much from other parties in-
terested in the question. I have just received a
deputation from the newspaper press, and from the
statements made to me by those gentlemen, it seems
that they entertain a confident belief that, so far
from the repeal of the duty lowering the price of
paper, it will increase it considerably.
Mr. CHATER said whatever the effect might be,
they asked for a remission of the duty upon the
stocks in hand, and they hardly saw how that could
be refused.

In reply to a question it was stated that the
duty upon stocks in hand would amount to between
£200,000 and £250,000. It was further argued
that large sums of money had been invested on the
faith of the Excise label being returned, and that
there was no possibility of defrauding the revenue
if such drawback was allowed. Unless it took place
the trade would be paralysed till the tax was re-
pealed. Several publishers had already declined
to issue any works until the tax was repealed, and
in one printing establishment 40 hands had been dis-
missed in one day.

Mr. GLADSTOE said—l am sorry am unable
to devote more attention to your represe:tations
to-day. My time, as you may conceive, is much
occupied at the present moment. I have another
deputation in the next toom which I have pro-
mised to See, I have to be present at a Cabinet
Council at two o'clock, and I have more than a hun-
dred unopened letters, all of which must receive
attention at my hands. I can only say I shall be
glad if pctsible to meet your views, and that the
subject shall recoil e my best and earliest conside-
ration.
The deputation then withdrew.

Eruptions in Infancy.—No affections of the skin are more fre-

So great is often the irritation that low fever sets in, the
whole skin becomes inflamed, and the helpless little sufferer
falls into convulSfona. 'HollowaY's Ointment should be in

Lewes and Morton having just commenced 1860 with opposi-
tion similar to that which they previously advanced, and wish-

to enlarge his coming pamphlet, making It 64 pages instead
of 32- showing beyond doubt that their observations on the
so-called " Concentrated Cattle Food," and so-called "feeding
statistics," are without foundation ; that the. liothamated
experiment was not made with his food, and consequently
that this complete failure must either be through mismanage-
