Tbe bill to protect the revenue reported in the House of Representatives jast Friday, by Mr. Morrill, trom the Committee on Ways ma Means, provides that after August 1, 1966, lu- ues as follows shall be levied on imports ofthe following articles of merchandise: On cigars, cigarettes, cheroots of all kinds, $2.50 per pound, and 5) per cent ad Valorem. On cotton 3 cents per pound. On all som- pounds or preparations of which distilled spirits is a component part of chief value there shall be levied a duty of not less than that im- posed upon distilled spirits. The Bureau of tistics to be attached tothe Treasury De- partment, as provided tn the tariff bill, is in- cluded in this. One provision amends the act of July 14. 1562, in the clause which regards zoos three years in store or bonded warehouse bandoned by the government, so as to au- thorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the owner of such goods atter deducting du- ties, charges andexpenses. 1t provides, fur. ther, that on determining the dutiable value ot imported merchandise, except in cases other- wise provided for. there :hall be added to the actual cost or market value at the place of exportation the cost of transportation, ship- ment, the yaiueor both, each, or other inclo- sure, and other ¢xpenses. It piovides for the repeal of all laws or ps of laws allowing fishing bounties ro ves: heretofore hcensed to engage in the fisheries; but remits the duties on salt imported in bond for curing fish. it allows goods arriving at New York, Boston, Portland or other ports designated by the Sec- retary cf the Treasury to be entered at the custom-heuse and conveyed in transit through the United States without the payment of du- ties, onder such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe. Itis provided that imported goods oF merchandise in bond or duty paid, and products of the United States may, with the consent of the he th authorities, be trans- ported over neighboring foreign provinces from one port of the United States to another, be treated on arrival in the United States, in regard to liability toexemption from duty or tax, as if the transportation had taken place entirely within the limits of the United States. .Drorrine LeTTERS IN STREET Boxes —a enrious Caer came up in Cleaveland, the other day, which should serve io impress upon all peTrons the necessity of placing stamps upon their letters, and the absurdity of dropping money into letter boxes with the expectation toat the carrier will attend to the matter, and make good their neglect. Some days agoa man named Haurserman deposited 2 letter in a street box, and not Naving a stamp, dropped three cents in the box with the letter. The carrier, in me king collections, found three let- ters in the box, with mouey sufficient to pay the postage on two of them, neither of the let- ters bearing avy mark to designate whether the money accompanied them. The carrier affixed stamps to two of them, and Mr. H.'s Jeter wen! to Washington, and was returned for non-payment of postage. Upon receiving the letter, H. became very indignant, and cal- ling at the store where the box was located, he foolishly tore it from its fastenings and kicked it into the street. For this offence he was ar- resied and held to answer at the next term of the United States Court at Cleaveland. ‘TRE METHODISTS.—The London Patriot Says that Wesleyan Methodism has come toa stand- still mn Great Britain. In Staffordshire and all the ‘soutbern districts it has heen steadily losing ground for several years.
