SECRETARY erase RECOMMENDS TIE Re-
DrcT1oS OF TIE PAPER DUTT.-Secretary
Chase has sent in n recommendation for tho
reduction Of tho duty on printing paper, on
the ground that 1t will increase the revenue.
The total imports Of ill except writing paper
are given at s15G,S25 producing revenue Of

IT is argued, il is hardly worth while to place
the interests OF the press at the mercy Of a
combination Of paper manufacturers.

4 NEW CRINoLINE.-The London cor
respondent of the Belfast (Ireland)
Nelcs Letter says: a tradesman in Pic
cadilly has made an astounding discove-
-ry As benefactor to mankind the re-
suit of his researches entities him to
take rank with Coperncus, Galileo, Hun
ter, Newton, Fulton, Watt, Stephenson,
Davy, or any (or ally the philosophers
who have surrounded their names with
nimbus of glory. This distinguished
person has met the want of the age.
He has discovered crinoline which
won't get into eccentric or unbecoming
angles when ladies get into omnibusses
or press through crowds. The article
in question is called the "Ondina, or
waved upon, and the inventor thus de-
scribes its wonderful properties: 1t
does not sway with the unsightly results
of the ordinary hoops; and so perfect
are the warlike bands, that lady may
ascend steep stair, lean against ta-
BILE, throw herself into an arm chair, pass
to her stall at the opera, occupy fourth
seat IN a carriage, without Inconvenience
to herself or others, or provoking the
rude remarks of the observers, besides
removing or modifying in an important
degree all those pecularities tending to
destroy the modesty of English women /;
and lastly, it allows the dress to fall in
graceful folds" To be able" to
modify in peculiar degree all those pc
euliar tendencies to destroy the modesty
of English woman is itself a magnif-
cent achievemnt, for which the inventor
deserves statue in Trafalgar Square
