NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—We are able to announce the deter-
mination of ministers, at no distant period after the assembling
of Parliament, to take off the whole of the stamp
:duty on news-
papers. Our authority for this most welcome intelligence is
Mr. Bulwer; his authority is, we take for granted, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Bulwer has been kind enough,
in reply to a request publicly made to him for information on
the subject, to forward an unpublished sheet of the New Monthly
Magazine, We have been favoured with a sight of this paper,
and we are thus relieved of all anxiety on a matter so deeply
interesting and important, and enabled to communicate to the
public news that will gladden the country front north to south,
and from east to west.—Mr. Bulwer thus writes :—" Deeply in-
terested, as we are, in the removal of the taxes on knowledge,
having ourselves taken so active a share in 'promoting their re-
peal, considering. the consequences which lie beyond the sur-
face of the question of the gravest importance to the virtue of
the operative classes, to the proper direction of industry, and,
ultimately, through extended inquiry into the . distribution of
labour and capital, to a relief of our financial difficulties them-
selves, we cannot express the pride, the delight, the gratitude
we experience, when we announce to our fellow-countrymen,
that it is the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
take off the whole stamp duty on newspapers, substituting a
cheap postage in its stead."— The Town, Sunday Newspaper.—
[Upon this announcement,ithe Globe, ministerial paper, of last
evening, observes,—" It is quite true, we believe, that, as a gen-
tleman who interests himself upon the subject of taxes upon
knowledge, Mr. Bulwer has had the reported interview with
Viscount Althorp, but all the rest is overstated; as no such re-
solution as that described has been either adopted or even taken
into general ministerial consideration.")

REMARKABLE CREDULITY.—Two women, named Wisken and
Storey, the former of the parish of Bethuall, and the latter of
Kelsale, in this county, were committed to • prison for three
months, on 'Wednesday, the 16th ult., by the magistrates, at
their sitting at Yoxford, for pretending to tell the fortune and
otherwise imposing on Joshua Johnson, the elder, of Rendham,
for which they obtained from him the sum of £3. 18s. and a
chicken. It appeared in evidence that Johnson had been af-
flicted with an aberration of intellect, which some of his weak
neighbours persuaded him was owing to his being under the
power of witchcraft, and advised him to
.go to the woman Storey,
and get her to break the spell. At their interview the sorceress
told him he was under "bad hands," and that fora certain sum
she would "make him right." In order to effect this a chicken
was procured, roasted alive, and the heart taken from it and
stuck full of pins, and the sum of 14s. paid her ; but the conju-
ration had no effect, and the old man was persuaded to go to
the other woman, Wiskcn. On telling her what had been done,
she told him that he had been bewitched by the person he had
been to before, and gave him some powders to lay on the Bible
and bury in the garden; that he was to get bled, and at mid-
night stop up all the flues in the house and burn the blood,
which would remove the power of the witchcraft. This he did,
and paid her for the powders, &c., £2. 14s. Johnson, after his
reason returned, (not through the influence of the incantation,)
suspected he had been imposed upon, and" accordingly laid the
particulars before a magistrate, who granted warrants for the
apprehension of the cunning women, and committed Storey to,
Ipswich gaol, and Wiskcn to Woodbridge Bridewell, for the
period before stated.—SuPik Chronicle.
Should the Russian Emperor's offer of assistance to the
Grand Seignor be accepted, Admiral Greig's fleet, of 36 men
of war, will have the passage of the Dardanelles opened to them.
In this case every British man of war that can be spared will
be sent to reinforce our fleet in the Mediterranean, as it will
then be considered necessary to have a strong squadron of ob-
servation in that quarter.—Hamrshire Telegraph.

DISSOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY.
JAMAICA.
(From the Jamaica Courant, of Monday, December 17th.) 1,
We are happy to observe so many of the old members alrevi
appealing to their constituents, for the honour of again retli
sentiug their interests in the local parliament, when it s°7e
please his Excellency the Governor to issue his writs for a aer
election. The more we think of the conduct of the Govern'
in ;:
in so petulantly dismissing the Assembly, the more we regret
at a moment like the present; when the public mind is suet
a state of excitement, from causes, the prospect of which ere',
lover of his country must deplore. His lordship is evidentlYd,
young statesman, and the tone which pervades his farewell
dress to the Assembly, shews that Lord Mulgrave's feell°q
were too much enlisted in a measure, in which the Goof,'
ought to have acted with calmness and consideration. irb,,
subjects of an inflammatory nature were introduced into the y:
ply of the house, to the Governor's first message, we deal'
nor do we believe there was the slightest intention, on the ps„
of the house, to give offence to his Excellency ; but if it is to
considered inflammatory to give a true picture of our situatio.
instead of glossing it over iu courtly phraseology, then the P"
sembly are to blame.
We have reperused the reply, which has been considered s:
very uncourteous and inflammatory ; and we can only imagill„
that in state documents, like libels—the greater the truth. tu
more inflammatory it is considered. But his lordship oughts`
remember, that he is sent out with orders, which he must ender'
your to carry into execution however injurious to our interests!
and that our representatives have not only their own property
to protect, but also those of their constituents. The first "1!
flaraniatory" paragraph which we can discover, is the follorria"
" The house trust that your Excellency's anticipation may be reredized, and that no repetition of the recent criminal and horrid rebelli
may again bring destruction on the inhabitants of Jamaica. The bow;
thank your Excellency for the precautionary measures your Esefo
lency have taken to avert the possibility of a renewal of the atrocit3,4
perpetrated only a few months since ; but the house feel it their
to state, that no permanent tranquillity can be expected, and that
security for property and life can exist, so long as Jamaica is kept,„,
constant agitation. Our present uncertain state paralyses alike
energies of agriculture and commerce, and necessarily tends to gU
vert all assurances of permanent security for persons or property.
Now, whatever his lordship's public sentiments may be, /5 lie!
prepared to deny the truth of the grievances complained 0„
We think not; and that no individual but Lord Mulgrol-
- consider such an appeal to the executive inflammatory e
The next paragraphs, of which we understand Lord Mulgra't,
complains, are the following. That they contain some unpa.lar,
able truths, connected with the conduct of the Imperial Ps•,,
liament, we admit; but when visionary theorists, with the 'nand
potence of parliament to boot, fail in administering equal 00
effective laws, for the government of their fellow-subjects 'e
Ireland, how can that body legislate for a people, at a distaac
of 4500 miles?
The attempt, in the first place, would be absurd ; but an ,
ther question would arise, how would the enactments of
Imperial Legislature be carried into effect? and before this:,
attempted iu Jamaica, it would be as well to settle the tyto
question in Ireland, where the bayonets of his Majesty's troot
are not found of sufficient weight to carry the omnipoter
views of parliament into effect ! ! Could the King's troops,',
employed here as yollecting constables ? and if they were,.wu,
would purchase their levies? But let our readers and t":,
country judge if the following manly appeal to the executii,'
ought to he called inflammatory. We aver it to be the truth'
and if our Legislature had expressed such sentiments, with eclu
frankness years op.(), the British Ministry might have bee,
more fully aware of our real condition : but it is not yet V"o,
late to submit our case to the British public, however preJo
diced a large portion of our fellow-subjects are against us, fro
d
ignorance of our local situation, as well as the state f 01"
society ; and his Excellency the Governor, instead of considl;
in g the relation of our grievances inflammatory, ought to ,
all he can to induce the Government of the Mother-Country
to redress the evils thui complained of:
" This house was no party to the measure by which an inquiry
obtained in one house of the British Parliament, by the Ihrest-la
proprietors residing out of this island, nor do we admit that the Ilaety
of Commons can institute any effectual inquiry in relation to
social institutions of this island, or its internal affairs. To underswer
the laws of any society, and the influence of customs and habits 0'10,5
those laws, a personal residence among the inhabitauts of the coaeoe
is indispensable. No evidence can convey over 4500 miles tb le
circumstances which most materially affect the welfare of a roYve
and which, to be appreciated must be seen. Countries might is
mentioned where the laws in theory have been considered perf'',,j
but where, after centuries of legislation, the people are starving
wretched. This, we are proud to say, is not the case in Jamaiii,
notwithstanding all the defects incident to the state of slave
originally forced on us by Great Britain. tiy
'`As this house never did recognize the resolutions of Parliamen ,
1823—as this house never did admit the right of the House of CI,
mons to legislate on the internal affairs of Jamaica, even when
West Indies were indirectly represented in Parliament, we neverne
concede that a house of Commons, which is to exist upon the prillPro
that actual representation should be the foundation of legislation,
justly claim to legislate over us, their free fellow-countrymen,
respects their equals, but who have not, and' cannot have,
voice whatever at their election, by whom, in conseque4
we are not represented—who are strangers to our condition IV
interest, and whose attempt to dictate to us would consequee
upon their own principles, the principles of their own existeo
as a legislative body, be tyranny and not legislation. of
" Experience prevents us from deluding ourselves with the hoPew
a dispassionate and impartial result from the proceedings of any coal
mittee of the commons house in relation to the West Indies, no
we strangers to the fact that pledges are now being exacted fromc7o(
didates for seats in the new imperial parliament, to vote, in respec„,tl
the colonies, according to popular dictation, and not after ample
patient examination.
" The house are happy that your Excellency has not been compel
to make the unavailir, effort of inducing us to pass into a lay'
order in council of the 2nd of last November—an order which ore
proves how unfit the theorists, who have never been in the colour,
are to make laws even for our consideration, much less adopt'
word for word, and letter for letter." blf
The meeting of the late members of the House of Asset°,,
took place, in Spanish Town on Saturday, when, we 007 ed
stand, a memorial to his Majesty was drawn up, and WO, to

quested to meet Mr. Grant, who demanded, in no very e;sheit
eons terms, what they were "aboot, as well as a copy 0'
proceedings," which Mr. Dallas, of course, declined to ec''''P

into good manners, and without meaning any offence to
Grant, we will just ask him if it was very good manners to Pro

,81a—Do you notice the hobble your contemporary of Satur-

bythe Journal's account, he was certainly, on "crowner's quest

put into the kick-up.for nothing less than murder! Well
'll.)' the law on libel be looked into, and that speedily, if we
ate, to be called on to suffer damages for a publication like this.
'54 this is not the sole onus : the complainant had to thank
It!ur contemporary for several kind and flattering notices of
,Lllll the Journal,—" et to Brute." It is to be hoped, though,
'44t the " good-natured friend" who forwarded to the noseless
l'" I.P. the number containing the account of his mutilation

t4Pitulation of past services, as I rather doubt that the offended
Rentleman is aware of this fact, and trust he will stay further
I:l:,°ess, seeing the horror the Journal has of going into court,
qd the trilling damages any jury would award in a case like
this.

I Was, I confess, a little surprised to find our cautious friend
the
with Dicky Sam's knowledge-box at his service, after
17 recorded experience of the damage sustained by the liberal
—`erclo'y in meddling with character, in an illegal, though per-
fectly disinterested and charitable manner. The cases were
Iliad' SO notorious, by appeals to the humane, in the form of sub-
tilieription-books, and contributions gratefully acknowledged by
i•ye that they were pointed at and chalked over the town,
try Hunt, Warren, or Turner." But these meddling jays
"ia be pecking, and now the trap's down on another witless
°freader "Parce, precor, parce."
The fun of the thing, too, to see the jealousy of these Re-
lerkers and sticklers for the freedom of the subject and the
Press, when it makes a little free with their monopoly ! Here

disa'l4,—lt is amusing to read the commentaries of the soi-
ut leading
newspapers of the day on the recent meeting of
the electors of London;—one regards it with triumph, because
it is a failure,—another laments the want of generosity in the
electors towards the ministers, and both regard the absence of
the mercantile class as a stigma on the respectability of the
Meeting. What ! the merchants who were lately held up to us
lot ridicule or abhorrence, are they now become, by the show-
ing of the same authority, an example for our imitation ?
Does this class, lately so vituperated, now point out that con-
daet to the new electors, which is dictated by intelligence and
tatriotism •! What a pity that those two qualifications should
ave deserted them in their meditations on the Dutch war !
t:thaps the best comment on the meeting is to be found in the
i;Nlection of the ministerial Globe,—" Acteon destroyed by

a tame by which John Bull has been deluded and ruined. The

ley reflect on the fate of Aeteon thus kindly and judiciously
brought under their consideration. I hope the 'Globe's hounds
are not blood-bounds. The conservatives of all denominations
will see, in these proceedings, as well as in those of the elec-
tors and elected in Ireland, new grounds for a bona fide sup-

pilk THIEF STOLEN.—The following curious occurrence took
il'ee a few days ago in the Forest of Fontainebleau. An old
ge tad
4tger that had bee used a long time at a retired post of
arnaes stationed nin the forest, becoming
.almost worn out
ea the service, was tethered in a fertile spot, with the hope that
re-
store and the freshness of the grass might in some degree re-
-14,,re his exhausted strength. A. thief, pursued by the police,
tinutog in with the old campaigner, mounted his back, and
Pe't by his means to effect his escape. All the exertions,
th:ever, the fugitive could make were not sufficient to induce
tLe animal to take the desired road, who galloped away through
,u forest till lie arrived at his old quarters, and deposited his
l'iretrh e in Love hands of his masters the gendarmes, wiko de-
ed him rto justice.--French Paper. . .

Mr. W A RBURTON said that, in balancing the merits of the
two hon. gentlemen who had been proposed, he considered that
the hon. member for Staffordshire (Mr. Littleton), being more
vigorous in health (laughter), would be more competent to fill
the duties of the office. It; however, the right hon. gentleman
was re-elected, it Would be his (Mr. W.'s) duty to bring forward
a motion for rescinding the pension granted, to the right him.
gentleman.
Mr. C. M. SUTTON then addressed the house, thanking them
for the honor done him in entertaining the proposition of his
filling the office of Speaker. He assured them that his political
.opinions never had, during the 16 years that he had held the
office, nor ever should, in the event of his being again replaced
in it, interfere with his discharge of his duties as Speaker.
(Great cheering.)
Mr. METHUEN wished it to be clearly understood, before the
.house went to a vote, whether the right hon. gentleman, if
re-elected, would be entitled to receive the retiring pension of
£4OOO a year, as well as the salary of £6OOO.
' Mr. C. M. SUTTON said he believed it to be impossible that
an individual occupying the chair could be entitled to a single
shilling voted as a retiring pension. (Hear, hear.) That he
believed to have been the intention of the legislature when it
passed the act of last session; and whatever might be the legal
construction of the act, it was his firm determination not to
receive a farthing of the pension whilst he had the honor to fill
the chair. (Good cheering, and cries of " question.")
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the house
divided, when the numbers were

A discussion afterwards ensued on the question, whether,
under the act of last Parliament, the right hon. gentleman was

THE ETTE sex SHEPHERD.—On Friday upwards of sixty gen-
tlemen gave an elegant dinner, in the National Hotel, Regis-
ter-street, to the Ettrick Shepherd, in celebration os his birth-
day—J. W. Ord, Esq. in the chair; M. S. Milton, Esq. a young
English student officiated as croupier. The health of the
Shepherd was proposed in eloquent terms by the Chairman.
Mr. Hogg, in returning thanks gave an interesting account,
with hisusual naivette, of his early days. It had been said that
he was notborn on that day (the 2Mh) but he had the word of his
mother and the writing in his father's bible to support him in the
belief that he was in reality born on the same day that gave
birth to Burns. The health of Mr Moore, Mr. Wordsworth,
Mr. Campbell, and a variety of other toasts, connected with li-
terature and the arts, were drank with all the honours. Mr.
Hogg and other g_entlemen present enlivened the meeting with
various excellent bcottishsongs, and the evening was spent with
great pleasure and conviviality.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
SINGULAR WAGER.—A bet was made on the 9th instant, for
two sovereigns, between Mr. Margarson, of Weasenham Up-
house, and Mr. D. Cooke, of Great Massingham, Norfolk, that
Mr. Margarson would find one woman out of two who should
pull, top, and tail 12 loads of turnips in one day. The task
was accomplished on the 16th instant 133 r the two women in less
than the time appointed, both leaving the tield before dark, one
pulling 14 loads and the other 131, one tumbril holding 39
bushels, and the other 381 Mr. Margarson gave the winnings
to the women.—County Chronicle.

TRADE OF LivunPoot..—We are gratified in being able to
announce that the custom's duties received at this port during
the last year have amounted nearly to the sum of £4,000,000,
being an excess over the year preceding of £325,000 ; and when
we state that this increase in the local reveuue exceeds the im-
provement noted in the same branch of the national revenue,
the fact furnishes a charming proof of the prosperity of the town.
The increase upon the entire receipts of the country was only
£223,167.

FIRE Poucs.—lt has long been a matter of regret, that no
establishment should have been formed in Liverpool, for the
prevention and better extinction of fires. This is a subject in
which all the inhabitants are interested. The matter has been
frequently discussed, and in the year 1828, when it was expected
a fire-police would have been established, the Commissioners of
the Watch procured a clause to be inserted in a local act, em-
powering them to lay a rate of one-halfpenny in the pound for
its support, but after several meetings the object was abandoned,
in consequence of the fire-office companies having declined to
contribute any thing towards the expense of the establishment.
The late destructive fire in Lancelet's-hey has again brought
the subject under discussion. A meeting has been held of de-
putations from the Commissioners of the Watch and the Fire
office agents, and we are glad to learn that a cordial co-opera-
tion may now be expected from all the parties interested. in the
question, and we have no doubt the result will be the estathisii-
ment of an effective fire-police.
Additional subscriptions received for the relief of those poor
families who suffered at the late fire in Lancelot's-hey and
Union-street—
