TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE . —The NEWSPAPER STAMP ABOLITION COMMITTEE respectfully SOLICIT the ATTENTION of the Public to the STATEMENT of FACTS contained in the following PETITION , which was PRESENTED to the HOUSE of COMMONS , on MONDAY , June 3 , by Mr . MILNER GIBSON : — To the Honourable . the Commons op Gbeat Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled . The Petition of the Newspaper Stamp Abolition Committee , Showeth , That it is a characteristic feature of despotism to impede the diffusion of knowledge among the people , by subjecting the press to the immediate supervision of the Executive Government . That in this country the Government has for one hundred and thirty-eight years exercised an indirect surveillance over the press through the medium of taxation , which has had , the effect of lessening its usefulness by crippling its energies and limiting the supply of information . That the principle of restraining the pre 3 S by taxation is now almost universally admitted to be worse than useless for all moral purposes , yet the laws made for this purpose are retained for the sake of revenue . That by the 6 th and 7 th of William IV ., cap . 76 , commonly called the Newspaper Act , all periodical publications are practically divided into three classes : — 1 st . Newspapers stamping the whole of their impression . 2 nd . Monthly publications , unstamped and abstaining from public news . 3 rd . Weekly and fortnightly publications , abstaining not only from public news , but from comments thereon . That all periodical publications not coming under one of these heads are liable to severe penalties . That all periodical publications containing advertisements are obliged , by the before-mentioned act , to deposit one copy of each impression with the Commissioners of Inland Revenue , and that , by so doing , they escape all penalties incurred for containing illegal matter , until such illegality shall have been notified to them by the Board . That a 3 copies of all periodicals are thus 3 ent to the Board of Inland Revenue , they may fairly be considered as published with their sanction . That the law above cited is relaxed by the Board of Revenue in a manner which appears to your petitioners to be extraordinary , unaccountable , and capricious . That the following classes of illegal publications exist , under the sanction of the Board of Inland Revenue ;—1 . —Class Publications not liable to stamp duty , abstaining from public news , and stamping apart of their impression , a proceeding not recognized by law . Of this class are : —

George Vickers .. Strand Parochial Monitor .. Gathercole Chichester-pl ., Kin ° - ' s Cross . ° That , in addition to the above , a glaring infraction of the law has been sanctioned , called " The Household Narrative of Current Events , " edited by Charles Dickens , and published monthly at 16 , Wellington-3 treet , Strand , every page of which teems with matter requiring a stamp , but which is permitted to stamp only its country edition , thus unfairly competing with other regular newspapers which are obliged to stamp their whole impression . That one thing only is necessary to complete the nullity of the existing law , namely , that the last-mentioned newspaper or one like it should be published weekly ; and that your petitioners are convinced that if any of the regular newspaper press were to publish a portion of their impression unstamped the Board of Revenue could not consistently prosecute them without interfering with all the publications above recited . That , while the law is thus set at naught wholesale by " The Household Narrative , " Punch , " " The Legal Observer , " and " The Freeholder , " the commissioners occasionally prohibit the publication of a short news column , as in the case of " The Norwich Reformer . " That of fifty-three publications registered as newspapers , and admitted to an illegal privilege , the following seven omit to comply with the regulations which require a full description of the printer and publisher of a newspaper to be given at the end thereof , namely , Charles Dickens ' s " Household Narrative , " Charles Dickens ' s " Household Words , " " The Herald of Peace , " " The Legal Observer , " The Mechanics' Magazine , " " Notes and Queries , " and "The Sailors' Magazine . " That your petitioners can account for the laxity of the Board of Revenue only on the supposition that they have been instructed to xelax all restrictions that do not increase the revenue , and that the system of stamping publications for postal circulation only , is found to be financially beneficial . That the general adoption of this system with regard to all printed papers , would probably increase the Post-office revenue , while it would certainly aid the diffusion of knowledge , and would rescue the Government from ttieir present dilemma , caused by a law which they have not ventured to abrogate , but which they dare not enforce . Your petitioners , therefore , entreat that your Honourable House will appoint a select committee to inquire into the present state and actual operation of the laws respecting the stamping and posting of newspapers with a view to the enactment of such regulations as . shall be , if not wholly unobjectionabe to the public at large , at least capable of being respected by the officers specially appointed to enforce them . And your petitioners will ever pray . Signed by order of the Committee and on their behalf : FRANCIS PLACE , Treasurer , 21 , Brompton-square . JAMES WATSON , Sub-Treasurer , 3 , Queen's Headpassage , Paternoster-row . J . DOBSON COLLETT , Secretary , 15 , Esses-street , Strand . Mr . Milner Gibson ha 3 given notice of a motion " for a select committee to inquire into the present state and operation of the law relative to newspaper stamps , also into the law and regulations relative to the transmission of newspapers and other publications by post , and to report their opinion thereupon to the House .

STONEGRAVELS . NEAR CHESTERFIELD . SC HOOL for YOUNG LADIES , conducted l > y the Reverend ALFRED TURNER BLYTHE and Mrs . BLYTHE . Terms ( exclusive or Masters ) , Fifty Guineas per Annum . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe ( with the help of Mrs . Blythe's sister , Miss Williams ) devote their whole time and attention to the duties of their School . They do not wish to have under their care , at one time , more than ten pupils . They can provide for the thorough comfort of this number ; and can treat them , in every respect , as members of their own family . Their great object is to aid their pupils in becoming truly rotined , intelligent , and conscientious women . It is not , they think , of so much importance to crowd into the mind , during the comparatively short period of the school life , a large mass of information on a great variety of subjects , as to furnish the mind with those principles of thought anil means of judgment which will enable their possessor , in after years , to acquire sound knowledge for herself , and to dispense it to others . They think it most important of all to show the moral bearing and uses of knowledge , and to impress upon the mind the fact that its chief value consists in its application to practical and benevolent purposes . The physical health of a girl between the ages of ten and seventeen ( which may be called tho school time of life ) requires the most anxious caro . To overtask the brain during this period is almost to ensure future weakness , both of body and mind . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe pay , therefore , unremitting attention to the health of their pupils , and , besides securing to them daily active exercise , they never permit the work of the School to be carried on for more than between two and three hours consecutively ; adapting the amount of work to bu done by each pupil during the day , to her age , her state of health , and her mental capacity . By pursuing this system , they have , in more than one case , seen a child of delicate constitution strengthen under their hands . With respect to religious instruction , Mr . and Mrs . Blythe would only say , that while they use their utmost endeavours to foster in their pupils the religious feelings and affections , they think that they would not be justified in enforcing specific opinions , notwithstanding the strength o . their own convictions on this subject . At the same time , they are willing and anxious to give explanations whenever they are asked , and to aid in removing difficulties whenever they are felt . They believe , however , that a decision on theological matters ought to be left to an age when the powers of thought and judgment are fully matured . The ordinary course of study in the School embraces the subjects of History , ancient and modern ; the History of Literature ; Geography , mathematical , physical , political , and descriptive ; Writing , Grammar , and English Composition ; Arithmetic , and the elementary brunches of Geometry ; and , with a special view to encourage the powers of observation , the elements of Natural History and Natural Philosophy . The Reverendd Joseph llutton , LL . D ., London ; William Turner , Jun ., Halifax ; James Martincau , Liverpool ; Samuel Bitche , Birmingham and Charles Wicksteed , Leeds ; Frederick Swamvick , Esq ., Whittington , near Chesterfield ; and Mrs . Turner , Lcntnn Field , near Nottingham , have kindly permitted reference to them .
