price to Natives in Madras is Rs. 3 per annum; to Europeans, Rs. 5; to provincial subscribers, including Postage, Rs. 5 per annum. The low price and the excellence of the paper seem to have rendered competition hopeless. Since its establishment it has maintained almost undisputed possession of the field. Literary and scientific articles are included as well as news, with occasional translations in English of Tamil classical authors. Native correspondents are allowed freely to ventilate their opinions through its columns. On the whole, it is doing a considerable amount of good. Each Collectorate in the Madras Presidency has its District Gazette. This is an admirable" institution," peculiar, it would appear, to South India. The contents include, in English and the vernacular, all Government orders relating to the District, weekly Calendars, Weather Reports, Price Lists, and other information calculated to be useful. It is reported that occasionally what may be termed mild editorials, have appeared on matters connected with the districts. A weekly Police Circular is now appended to each Gazette. The terms of subscription are as follows: To subscribers other than Village Servants, 3 as. per mensem. Public and Village Servants drawing less than 25 Rs. 2 as. Single copies 1 anna each. Private advertisements, if not inconsistent with the nature of the Gazette, are admitted at anna per line. The Gazettes were commenced about 1856. The Presses, besides printing the Gazettes, effect a great saving in multiplying copies of orders. The value of the work turned out by the presses has been increasing yearly, as will be seen from the following statement : To The expenditure during 1864-65 amounted only to Rs. 51,906. Thus there was a profit to Government of Rs. 80,538. Bellary had the largest number of subscribers to its Gazette, amounting to 1,295; Vizagapatam, the fewest, only 47. In the Tamil Collectorates, the numbers of Subscribers were as follows; Madras, 241; South Arcot, 226; Tanjore, 213; Trichinopoly, 157; Madura, 215; Tinnevelly, 62; Coimbatore, 419; Salem, 160. The postage, costing more than the paper, has been a bar hitherto to the circulation. By a recent order, this has been obviated. Jaffna Morning Star.
