A great debt of gratitude is due to anyons who leads us to sympathiso with the good, sincere true English character of ordinary life--as woll an to one who teaches us to lato vico and to laugh as egotium or hypocrisy. Such debt is undoubtedly due by all English speaking nations to Dickens.

THE LIGHT DUES QUESTION, FETTON TO THE GOVERNOR.
SINGAPORE, Thuraday, Jan. 21; 10.85 ana.
The shipping returns of the Straits Set-
have not borne one cent of the expanses of showa an incresse of twelve por cent. on last, their construction or maintenance but it is year's figures. The increase in British toni-. now proposed that they should derive à
nago-is ten per cent. as compared with direct profit from them.
thirty per cont. in Gorman tonnage.
5. We very much doubt if in any highly civilized country has a deliberate attempt ever been made to raiss a profit revené : out of Light Dues. They have always been imposed for the express purpose of provid- ing for the construction and maintenance of Lighthouses, Buaya and Beacons and for no other purpose whatsoever. Is has happened that in the course of time the procise object for which a light dus has been imposed has been lost sight of and that a profit revenue has in fact been darived from it, but so soon as attention fe been called to the fact there has been an express disclaimer and a reduction ur abolition of the charge. In the Dardin- allas and Bosphorus such a discovery has recently been made, and the representa tives of all the Powers are pressing the Porte for a refluction of the" dues to in amount sufficient to evor the expenses In England & Departmental Committee of the Board of Trade lave just exported on the sore subject and have tatimously recommended the equalization of all light dues and their diminution to an amount
calculated te cover expenses and no more. The strongest rupresortations have been made to the Government to relieve Ship- ping entirely of this burden and to transter it to the General Revenue but so far with. oct success; the principle. however, is clearly nimitted that the light dues on shipping should not be made a source of profit.
