THE JAFFA CoLoNY.-A correspondent of
the Tribune, who has recently visited the
remnant of the Jatfi Colony, says:
The famous-or RAJ her infamous-colony at
Jaffa, under President Adams, still lives, al
though reducedto about 20 persons. 1t is
not so small however, that it is not still divi-
ded by intestine feuds. Adams and wife are
about to proceed to England to find recruits
and funds. No doubt they viii succeed. They
have already some English members of the
colony, and the English are far more insane
on the subject Of the Holy Land than the
Americans. You meet here at every turn
some hali-cracked men or women from Eng
land, who have come out here to help fulfill
the prophecies OF Scripture, As he or she inter-
prets them. These deluded, and often wealthy
enthusiasts are legitimate game for such
rogues as Adams. As far as one can see. the
colony nov depends for existence upon such
game, Tor no crops have been sown, ard there
are no apparent means for substance. The
few traveiers who have been fortunate enough
to land at Jatfa this year seem 10 have al TAX
Gu the time to see the colony, and Judge tor
themselves OF Adams claims.

THE PAPER DUTY.

The great majority of the Montreal print

per cent. duty on printing paper, or admit it
at the lowest rate consisten. with the require

a similar tavor to wrapping, writing and 9th
er kinds OF paper. The petitioners allege
that the present duty is of prohibitory
character, injurious to the revenue and to
trade in general.
