" LrBERTY—EQUALITY—FRATERNITY . " Early next February will be Published , the First Number of « rjp H E PE OPL E . " *< We ' ll struggle on till all be won the good God has designed , The Empire of the People—the Monarchy of Mind . " A Newspaper established by private individuals is manifestly inadequate to the attainment of any great National object . " It is , " says a distinguished Irish writer , " in many particulars defective , in many others injurious , and in some dangerous , unsafe , and untrustworthy ; it may be bought or bartered ; it may be traded with and trafficked on ; it may be corrupted , conquered or intimidated , and offers no guarantee for firmness , independence , or honesty . "—Influenced by these considerations , a number of Irishmen—deeply interested in the welfare of their Native Land—have resolved on the establishment of a National Weekly Journal , which , founded by the People , will be alone responsible to them , and will have for its immediate aim and object the uncompromising advocacy of their rights—their interests—and their liberty . Whilst all parties , creeds , and sections in Ireland have their respective organs by which the public opinion of the community is governed and directed , it appears strange that the great body of the Irish People are as yet unrepresented or misrepresented at the Press . The establishment of " Tub People " will remedy this deficiency , and as it will effectually labour to represent the public opinion of the Irish People , so it will depend on their powerful co-operation for support . The principle on which the establishment of " The Peoplb " is proposed is that of a Joint-Stock Association . A fixed number of Proprietary Agents—one or more selected by the Popular Party in each locality—or persons who may voluntarily present themselves—subject to the decision of the Directors—will constitute the Company . With this view , a Provisional Committee has been formed in Dublin—Treasurers and Trustees have been appointed—a temporary Office has been secured—the sanction of the great mass of the friends of freedom in Ireland , England , and Scotland has been obtained , and about the time specified the arrangements will be so far completed as to enable " The People " to commence its operations . The People" will be the largest size allowed bylaw , and as in its literary and political departments it will take a leading and prominent position , it may be necessary to state that the services of writers of ability and patriotism have been secured , and that able Correspondents arc being appointed in London , Glasgow , Paris , and New York . Fur obvious reasons , a mere outline of the Prospectus can be presented to the Public ; parties wishing- for further information will please communicate with the Secretary , who will give all requisite particulars relative to the Proprietary Agents . The fullest security provided by law will be given to the Proprietary Agents . These Agents will not—unless in a few instances—interfere with the appointment of Non-Proprietary Agents ; tho services of the latter in every town are necessary , ana an early application is requisite . Terms of subscription to " The People , " ( payable in all cases in advance ) : — Yearly , £ \ s . Gs . Half-yearly , 13 a . Quarterly , 6 s . 6 d . Single paper , Gd . Treasurers— Hibernian Uanking Company * ( J . T . Rowland , Trustees— \ Owkn Kuuk , I \ V . Conner . Secretary , pro . tum . —D . Costelio . Temporary OHlce—2 G , Eden-quay , Dublin . •»* Mr . L .

OCTOBER CIRCULAR , 1850 . —We wish to draw a comparison between the different classes of Tea , viz ., the Commonest , which is always subject to extreme fluctuations ; the Medium , which maintains a more equable value , and forms the great bulk of Tea used in this country ; and the Finer Sorts , which , owing to their limited use , are ( like the commoner ) speedily affected in price by a large or insufficient supply . In addressing ourselves to this point , we would remind the public that all Tea , bad or good , the best or the most worthless , pays an uniform duty , of 2 s . 2 £ d . per lb ., and is necessarily subject to equal charges lor freight , porterage , wharfage , dock dues , Sec . & c ; consequently the commonest is much heavier taxed , in proportion to its real or marketable value , than either the medium or the finest class Teas : thus , whilst at present — The price of Common Congou , in Canton , \ It follows that Comis 7 d . to 8 d . per lb .

Whilst the Finest , which costs four times ) 4 ** t 0 58 , per the price of the Commonest , realizes in > ' pound . England only / v , a . It must be thus apparent that , with a fixed charge of 2 a . oa . per lb . upon all Tea , mere price alone is no criterion of eltner good value or cheapness ; and we especially direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economize their expenditure to this fact , and in their determination to purchase at the lowest prices they voluntarily tax themselves double or quadruple wnai they have any necessity for doing .
