Taxes on Kuovladsa.

The last Of the English taxes on knowl-
edge namely, the two. cent STAMP On
nrWspapers--h been abolished, afieraA
long struggle, BY Parliamentary vote.
Heretofore no unstamped publication, con-
tanning news, and issued 1t less intervals
than iwenty-s.x days, could be sold, II
ceuld not even bs printed, under penalty
of one hundred pounds for each separate
number. la future, the stamp will not be
Necessary. except ON such Journals as are
- be senf through the Post Office. The
Hcnse OF Commons have SO Far afr ned

alteration, (by vote Of 2l5 70 lt,l, lhat
according 10 the usual practice, the
measure viii be allowed to proceed. The
House OF Lords, as i, is fiscal question,
has no power to interfere.
This newspaper stamp duty hase xisted
for about $50 years, having been original.
ly imposed with the avowed purpose Of
controlling the press. From one cent it
gradually was rails d to eight cents for
each copy OF the newspaper, and continu-
ed at this rate until 1856, when it was
reduced to two cents. 1t now will be en-
tirely removed except where used as
prepayment for newpapers sent BY mail.
Hithsfto the STAMP was indispensable for
all newspapers, but those which were
mailed passed postage free.
The change, no deub', will greatly
affect the Newspaper Press Of Eng. g.and.
and may probably alter its cliarter.-y Y

CUBA AND THE ADMrNIsTRATIoN-THE VERY
LATEsT.-On Saturday last the Cuban policy
of the administration, according to the WASH
ington Union, was decidedly pacific, anti-Bu-
cbaDan, anti-Mason, anti SoulG anti-flibuster
ing, innocent and conciliatory-by Sunday,
according to the same organ, it had undergone
radical change, falling back upon the war
platform Of Aix-la. Chapelle as the last and only
chance for Cuba and the administration. Since
then, one OF our Washington correspondents
informs us middle course has been hit upon
by Marcy compromise policy, in the shape Of
reciprocity free trade treaty between the
United States and Cuba. Brilliant thought
1t only requires of Spain to give up her import
and export revenues derived from Cuba. She
is rich, has large surplus Of ready money, and
can, surely, afford US this compromise for the
FAKE Of peace. But If she refuses; what then?
We are stultified. We give it up. For the pre-
sent, however, the plan Of reciprocity treaty
will answer as well as any thing else for Mr.
Dodge at Madrid. Should Spain decline free
trade, and refuse to sell out, the island being
absolutely necessary to the safety of our
cherished Union" we must take it, either with
or without the consent Of Marcy.
Let us hear from the Union again. We
should like to know the exact Cuban policy Of
the administration since the New Hampshire
election.

the "Ten Governors TO the members of the
Legislature on their annual visit to the city
Of New York and "thc Institutions vas
disgraceful and disgusting affair. II will be
somewhat astonishing to the people Of the inte-

there is a hope for the cause OF temperance and

ominous OF the speedy passage of the Maine
Liquor law. 1t was, perhaps, a parting love
