SUBSCRIPTION* 



FOR TH 





NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL 



TO 



Mr. ROWLAND HILL, 



Author of tie Pbnnt Postags, 





WILL 



CLOSE ON THE 30th OF NOVEMBER. ■ 



Of all the sources of income stated in the recently 

 Quarterly Returns of the Public Revenue, none exhibit so !«« 

 a proportionate increase as the Post Office. On the year's aet 

 Revenue, the Customs have increased at the rate of about it 

 per cent., the Excise l£ per cent., the Property Tax 2 per cent- 

 while the Post Office Revenue, under its almost nominal r* 

 a penny, has increased above 13$ percent., an* the increase or 

 the quarter has been even as much as 25 per cent. 



These cheering results show that (though the pU% •/ 

 Penny Postages yet but imperfectly tried) the complete resUr*. 

 tion of the Post Office Revenue to its amount before the Peaay 

 Postage was adopted is not an erent far distant, if it be fully 

 and honestly carried out; and the City of LomUm MerttmiUt 

 Committee on Postage desire to impress these satisfactory re- 

 sults most emphatically upon the Public, in announcing the 

 approaching close of the National Testimonial to Mr. Rowland 

 Hill. All parties are unanimous upon the great moral asd 

 commercial advantages of the Penny Postage. Its expediency 

 as a financial step has been the sole ground of question j 

 now, even this can scarcely be douhted ; for, let It be ren 

 bcred, that th; Old Postage Revenue had been absolutely 

 iionary for twenty years,— retrogressive, in fact, if wt consider 

 the increase of population, education, and commerce during the 

 period. The change which Penny Postage has effected, is to 

 make the Post Office Revenue the moit buoyant source of 

 National Income, bidding fair to become more profitable than 

 it has ever been. The Committee, therefore, call upon the 

 Public to reward, with suitable gratitude, the Author of this 

 great and triumphant measure. 



The Committee have the satisfaction to announce that the 

 Subscriptions, headed by the chiefs of political parties and of 

 commercial wealth, already reach 10,000/.; but 10,000/. cannot 

 be held to be a sufficient national reward for such national ser- 

 vices. The Commit'ee therefore urge upon the SMrfe* mt lemxt 

 to double this sum. If every letter-writer, for only a single 

 week, would pay a twopenny instead of a penny rate for hfa 

 letters, the amount, and more, would be raised. In >m 



as the public show their gratitude to Mr. Hill. »■» they 

 strengthen the chances for the complete adoptir ( his plan, 

 now but partially carried out. Its perfection will bring greatly- 

 increased convenience to themselres, and increased advantage 

 to the Post Office Revenue. 



Never have the services of any Public Benefactor been rs- 

 quited as Mr. Hill's have been. Quitting Kpermxnent situation 

 for a temporary public engagement, to carry out his plan, Mr. 

 Hill's services, whilst his plan was yet not carried out. were 

 dispensed with, and he received the following acknowledg- 

 ments of his merits, &r\d-notking more —
