Stamp duties.-The newspaper stamp duties
bill has been amended in the House of Lords,
by the rejection of the clauses requiring the
names of proprietors to be registered. On its

on the lIth read twice and passed. 1t was
then sent up, and passed in the House of

In series of letters from Havana, with the
signature Of M. c. we find the following sketch
of the present government Of that place.
"The government IN Harana.-It could
hardly be conceived in the United States, that
city of 10000 souls, including garrison Of
10000 men, should have been for whole years
