EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM BOSTON, Daniel Webster's Great Speech—Defin his Positton—Deltvered at Faneuil Hall. Having senta troupe of reporters to Boston, to s report the great speech of the Hon, Daniel Webster, defining his position, in the midst of the present confusion—a speech which it is expected he will have already delivered in Faneuil Hall before 20,000 Bostouians, we expect to receive it by Extraordina- ry Express at the office of the Herald either to- night or to-morrow morning, or as soon thereafter as it can be expressed from Boston after its delive- ry there. Immediately on its arrival, it will be is- sued inau Extraordinary Extra Herald, from this office, and sent to all parts of the country, through our agents, and by mails, so that the most solid food of the soul may be spread about. This speech on the present times will be far more interesting than all the obscene and vulgar novels that ever came from the pen of Bulwer, Dickens, Marryatt, or any other licentious literateur, of ano- ther land, that may be patronized by the fashion- able people of this land. So prepare for a moral dish for the thirsty soul. ‘Tux Present Aseser oF rae Counrry—Tue Fu- rune Povicy or THE PresipeNt.—We mentioned the other day that the President was preparing a grand scheme of policy for the settlement of all the vexed questions of the day—the tariff—bank—currency— public lands—and every other question connected ‘on Conanesse—At the democrat ings on Wednesday, delegates were elected in the 6th, 7th, 10th and 18th wards, which comprise the fourth distriet, in favor of nominating William B. Maclay, tor Congress, His delegates were support {ed by the Irish influence in return for his course at Albany relative to the School Bill. : In the 8th, 9th, and Mth wards, composing the fifth district, Alderman Leonard has secured a no- mination, beating John McKeon in each of the wards. The Irish population of the Mth are threat- ening vengeance, andit would not be anywise strange if they defeated Leonard’s election, al- though the old Ninth will do her duty. In the 7th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th Wards, com- prising the sixth district, the result is still doubtful, although the chances are in favor of Wood, the present member. The 11th Ward has not yet elect- ed their delegates, but meet on Monday in their se- veral districts for that purpose. ‘Che democrats of the five lower wards, composing the third distriet, nate John I. Boyd, and he will wake up nergies of the whigs of that district. Mspicat Srvpents.—A considerable number of young men have already arrived in the city, with the design of prosecuting their medical studies dur- ing the e..suing winter. Out warning respecting the rejection of the Stuyvesant students at the? Naval Board,and the worthless men of that falling coucern, has been re-echoed by the western andjsouthern medical journals, and those young gentlemen have profited by it. They are making arrangements to study at the old College of Physicians and Surgeons, and many we hear intend to avail themselves,in ad: dition, of the advantages offered by an association of medical teachers who have opened a private school, for the purpose of ,giving a practical education, and not one merely to enable the student to obtain a diploma. A great improvement in medical educa- tion is apparent, and we will carefully note its pro- gress. Tre Puvapeienia LepGer.—We shall attend to this most impudent, mean, and contemptible con cern, in a day or two. Without any ideas of its own, it is constantly plundering from the Herald without any acknowledgement. The whole con- federacy of which it is the black-boot, shall be shewn up in its length and breadth. ‘Tneatricau.—Mr. Vandenhoff, who made his debut in the character of Hamlet, at the Park the other evening, hasbeen very severely handled by some critic in the Courier and Enquirer of yester- day. This attack on the very talented and accom- plished performer in question, has been probably concocted by Hamblin, and his man Tom Snow- den. No one from this office witnessed his per- formance, but we understand from several gentle- men of judgment and experience in theatricals, that Mr. Vandenhofl’s Hamlet was the best seen in this city for many years, and decidedly superior to young Kean’s representation of that great and difficult character. Hamblin would be much more profita- bly employed in preparing the Bowery for the eclat which Celeste will give it next week, and we ad- vise him to attend to his own business, and not med- dle with that of his neighbors. Musica.—Signor De Begnis has, we perceive, ta- ken our advice, and intends giving a splendid con- cert on the 6th of next’ month. The best musical talent available in this city gnd neighborhood, will be concentrated ‘at this entertainment. Mrs. Sut- with the financial affairs of the country, As this matter will probably be the grand. theme of discus. sion for many months to come, we have been en- deavoring, in the meantime, to collect as much in- telligence about it as possible. The state of this country at the present moment. and the series of changes through which it has pas- sed during the last six years, are, we believe, with- outany parrallel in the history of commercial na- tions, Melancholy as is the truth, it cannot be con- cealed that by the conflicts of selfish political parti- zans—the demoralizing conduct of corrupt financiers and bankers—the unfaithfulness of the Clergy—the supineness of the press—the extravagance, debauch- eries, and polluting influence of what are called the higher classes,alias the ‘‘merchant princes,” the United States of America, with all their natural and acquired advantages, with all the shapeless ore of their unexplored mines of moral and physical wealth—with all the elements of natural greatness at command, stand at present before the world in a state of humiliating degradation and dishonor. Our banking institutions have been ruined by charlatans, and men who should have inhabited buildings of a very different character. It would appear, in fact, that the same code of honor and morality has pre- vailed in the palaces of Wall street, and the palaces of Auburn and Sing-Sing! Commercial confidence has been annihilated. Vice and immorality have stalked forth unabashed. ‘The grossest corruption has prevailed amongst officials. The administra- tion of the laws, has become unimpaired in its vigor and purity. The prosperity—the security—the jus- tiee—every thing, in short, from which republican freedom derives its value, have been put in the most imminent peril. Happily, for the hopes of liberty and the human race, this terrible storm of evil and conflicting ele. ments, appears to have well-nigh spent itself. It is true, that all around, party spirit, and corruption, and fraud have left their traces, like the wrecks which a tempestuous night has strewed along a rock. bound coast, reminding the mariner of the perils he has eseaped—but now there is a change, and sun- shine once more gives promise of enduring calm. Politiciavs are yet contending with all the valgar vehemence of their class, but the great uncontami- nated mass of the people have come to the settled determination, to effect the elevation of the country in the eyes of the nations, and the restoration of its former unclouded prosperity. And, perhaps, one of the most fortunate cireumstances connected with the accidents which have taken place of late years, is that one which placed John Tyler at the head of the nation, without @ party, without the semblance of a faction, without anything to aid or encourage him, except a consciousness of moral rectitude and honorable consistency, and a becoming sense of the connection between his own history and that.of his country. This very peculiar position of the Presi- dent gives him a morai supremacy, which the viru- ty vituperation and political animosity can never reach. He may be assailed by both factions, but the waves of their oppositien will spend them- selves harmlessly at his feet. Secure under the guidance of the Constitution, and armed with its powers, the President cen calmly and quietly, bat effectually, level his opponents. Nothing but that security which intellectaal and real independence es, could have silenced the outery raised by inte- ted politicians against the vetoes. ‘The President is now in Virginia, brooding over that system of state policy, which will settle every guestio vexata, and revive the country during the ars, by restoring prosperity to ite trade, res, and agriculture. Changes in the Cabinet are of very little importance to the country at large, whilst Mr. Tyler retains the Presidency. {n afew weeks we will beable to speak tully of this new course of policy. In the mean time botli politieal factions may fret, and fume, and squabble, and electioneer, but we have no doubt that both will be domolished and reconstructed, and a better in times to come. lence’o! Wart Srreer Gossip.—We perceive that the Courier, the organ of Wall street, is reporting the private conversations which it has picked up some- where relative to the family of the President. Not only are the President and his son assailed, but the ladies of the family are made the subject of this gentlemanly gossip. Such is the characteristic con- duct of the creatare who talke of gentlemanly feel- ing, and a chivalric spirit, and of fighting duels, and of honor! A pretty “code of honor,” truly! Anrysina.—To see old Noah blowing up Thurlow Weed for those very rogueries, in which Noah was a participator. Swow on THe Catsxinn.—We learn that the Catskill Mountain is covered with snow. This is beginning winter with a vengeance. ton, who is now in Rochester, singing to crowded houses, Messrs. Seguin, Timm,fand a great number of the vocal and instrumental -performers will be present. The Signor will succeed better in this than in the Italian Opera which he attempted. Crvests ar THE Bowrry.—Celeste has returned and is now busy in the Bowery, preparing three beautiful new pieces that will, revive for a while, the fortunes of that house. Hamblin himeelf begins to show some remains of the gentleman—but he must take care to deal properly with Celeste. We shall see that he performs all his promises to this excellent and distinguished artiste. Og Sreampoar Accivent.—Yesterday afternoon while the steamer Boston was on her passage from a Temperance Pic Nic, given at New Rochelle, a part of her machinery gave way, and she became wholly unmanageable. She had about three hun- dred passengers on board, and they of course were terribly frightened. Fortunately, the New Cham- pion came up and took off her passengers. They were landed in this city last evening. Yeutow Frever.—There was no fever in Mobile on the 15th inst. In New Orleans on the 13th there was but one death. Dow Again, not Lorenzo—Warrant Officers— The Evidence, If [know aught of usage, I might be held excused from any further notice of “J. E. Dow, Agent for Claims ;” but todo him all justice, I must confess myself so profoundly ignorant ef the manner of transacting business at Washington, that for aught know to the contrary, the “ Agent for Claims” may have been mainty instrumental in procuring the pas- sage of the “ Pursers’ and Warrant Officers’ pay bill.” Yet I am slow to believe that the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States could be so worked upon by any man, and Iam very certain he would have carried but little weight with him had it been known that he was to receive for this kind of service $50 each from nineteen warrant officers, according to his own admission, to say nothing of his golden expec- tations from the Pursers, as his postscript would seem to imply. Ido not soelieed, any very great loss of charac- terfrom the charges of falsehood and maliciousness brought against me by the ‘Agent for Claims,” nor would I condescend to enter into any vindication of myself; but when I volunteer to furnish information tor the benefit of the public I feel myself bound to sustain the truth of it.

When Mr. Dow’s letter reached here I was applied to by the boatswain of the ship to which | am now attached, with the let- ter in his hand, for advice as to the propriety of his a ing the “Agent for Claims,” which te had been called upon to do ; adhering to the advice I gave him upon that ocvasion, at a meeting of the warrant officers on the station, a few evenings subsequent he declined paying the fee, and the other forwa: officers of the “followed in his wake.” Pleas- ed with my success as a counsellor, I determined to address you a communication upon the subject mop ns it might attract the attention of some o| mm shipmates, and be the means of saving to them $50. Let me advise them not to an upon by any “Agent for her ony lobby r,”” or “borer in,” bat to receive their increased pay as a just rew: for their service, and rest easy under their weight of obligation. ‘The President who signed the bill,and the members of Congress who passed it, and their countrymen at large, will require nothing more at their hands than a faithful per- formance of their duty, and if the writer of this arti- cle can save any one of them $50, he will feel that e has, in some measure, repaid them for ‘‘ wrin- klea” which they gave him when a midehi 5 and which were found very useful at his examina- tion for promotion.

Monmouth B. Hart, Sheriff.—This case was continued. Mr. Hotsxs addressed the jury for about an hour and a halfon the part of ietendeae’ (the Sheriff being but no- minally 20k) See show from various cir. cumstances the property did not belong to plaintiff, one ef which was, that she had resided with her brother- in-law and sister (Mr. and Mrs. Roome) or with her bro. ther, Mr, Charlas 8. ee the last two years ; and ee forte and plate hy bnmig 9 remained oe the family e latter, (whic! Satie ee firigs: G4 attached) and her step-mother’s daughter, Miss Cook. enjoying the former ; he also laid much stress upon the im hing evidence, and called on the jury for averdiet in favor of defendant. Mr. Holmes was followed by Mr. Peter Wilson in be- half of plaintiff, who alluded, with much eloquence, to the good beer e 3 and misfortunes of ‘Mr. Charles Oakley, re- marking that one of the witnesses who had been brought up toimpeach his character, said that although he ted lost $40,000 by Mr. Oakley, and had been made a beggar in consequence, still he had confidence iu his veracity, and would readily believe him underoath. Mr. W. spoke in terms of severe condemnation in regard to the course pursued by the Attorney, (Mr. Still,) on the other side, in his efforts’ at impeachment. He contended that no evi- dence had been produced to show that the property he- longed to Mr. John R, Oakley, inst whom the execu- tion had been served, but much that the plaintiff really owned it. Judge Ingraham charged the jury at conside- rable length, pointing out the ted turn which the ovidence had taken, and the necessity of weighing well the evidence betore they decided. His opinion appeared to be that the testimony in Mr. Oakley's favor greatly out- balanced that against him. There was no doubt that no- thing had been shown identifying Mr. John R. Oakley with the property, yet whether it belonged to plaintiff or not, rested on the evidence of Mr. Charles Oakley. The jury retired about 12 o’clock, and had not returned they standing at that time, we understand, 11 to 1 in favor of tiff. A sealed verdict will be rendered this fore- noon. Henry H. Besson vs. John Benson—Assault and Battery. —The parties are smart young clerks, keeping in dry goods stores, and both fellin love with Miss Ann Stryker. Benson had heen the first lover,and found a powerful rival in the person of his almost name sake. They had each at- tended her to balls at the Tivoli, and her graces and fas- cination as a partner served still strenger to rivet the gol- den chain. Besson, after one of these honied attentions, wrote her a letter, commencing thus :— New Yorx, Feb. 11, 1912. My short but affectionate acquaintance with you press- es me to write to you, to say that it would afford me great pleasurefor your company, &e., Sc. + * The letter, however, alludes to his rival in rather rough terms, and says “ I willnot get in so many fights as he did,” and other kind compliments. ‘The lady tbink- ing, probably, after all, that she liked her “ first love” best, showed him the letter, doing so on Sunday the Ist May. Atéo’clock on Monday morning, the defendant went to the store, 282 Spring street, where plaintiff keyt, celled him out, and accused him of writing lies about him. Besson answered that he had been writing no lies, and he did not wish to have any thing to saytohim. He was about returning into the store when Benson struck hima violent blow on the face, prostrating him on the side walk, knocking two of his teeth out, shattering his lower jaw, and must have done to him considerable other damage, as the declaration says, it necessarily eal him to pay, lay out, and expen (@ large sum) for the purchase and insertion of artificial teeth in the place and stead of those dislocated and knocked out by the defendant,” &e. At any rate, the plaintiff had to pay twenty-six dollars for doctor’s bill, to nothing of the 5000 for a set of teeth. The young lady (Miss Stryker) was placed upon the stand as ‘a witness, and a most strik- 6 looking young ledy she is, worthy, as Helen could have been, of a seven years war. She testified to having received the letter, showing it to Benson. &c. ‘The jury gave a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $150: For plaintiff, Mr. Seeley and Mille. U, 8. Distriet Court. E. H. Seely.

I e they will designate the 13th October, for the celebration of the introduction of the Croton Water, when a large portion of our citizens can join. ERCHANT.

CwatHaM Tueatar.— Novelty the order of the day,” is the manager's motto, and most strictly is it adhered to ; for within our recollection no theatre has ever presented such @ succession of magnificent performances as is pro- duced at this establishment—and their signal success, nightly apparent, fully rewards the enterprise. To-night we have Mr. Woed in three beautifel and entertaining dramas, together with Mrs. Thorne and Master Wood.— ‘Seats will be scarce. Q@- Winchell’s New Play, in which he sustains seven characters, is carrying all before it at the Ame- rican Musyam. Out of all the good things Winchell has ever performed, his “ Job Search-em-out” is the most comical and best. Miss Hood also stands high in public estimation. Barnum has never engaged a combination of entertainments better calculated to please all, than those produced this week, The La Tyrolean dance by Celeste is worth the whole price of admission, and the mechanical figures of Signor Vivaldi, beats all creation. 0G The New York Museum appears to be in the full tide of success ence more, the manager having adopted the best planand only one to answer these hard times—re- ducing the price and increasing the attractions. The Museum in its most palmy day: prosperity never pre- sented a more genteel audienee than assembled last night. Wesay give the public a good performance at the lowett possible price—conduct the establishment with propriety, and we will stake our reputation on the result. BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. ——S—EE—— tee Baltimore, (Correspondence of the Herald.) Barrimors, Sept. 22, 1842. Mr. Eprror :— Our city for a few days past has been prolific in speculations relative to certain official changes said to be contemplated in the Custom House and Post Office. N. F. Williams, Esq., Collector of the Port, according to rumor, is to be succeeded by Charles F. Mayer, Esq., a gentleman of some eminence at the Baltimore bar, and a true friend of John Tyler —ina horn! Joshua Vansant, Esy., the former postmaster under Van Buren’s administration, is re- ported tobe the chosen one to succeed Thomas Finale; , Esq., the present incumbent. Some say that Seaham has the document in his peers This however, I do not credit, nor do I believe he would hold an office under Mr. ek He is a warm and at thorough democrat, or w! some might say, a y reigning "Chief Mat “ loeofoco.” The present gistrate is not the man of his choice, or I much mistake him. I am not incline to believe the rumor, so far as it relates to the post office. Mr. Williams may be politely invited to ab dicate. The in, his master, is rather incom- prehensible, ant loubtless will, if he take a notion, set the same ball:in motion here that has been roll- ing in New York, Piatt ‘a, and elsewhere, to the discomfiture of office holders.

Twenty-five miles are already finished from the former town, leaving only thirty-five more to be completed, which is being accomplished at the rate of one mile per day. The great importance of this gigantic branch of internal improvement is becoming daily more obvious. The benefit of Mr. Sloman, at the American The- atre, last evening, was a rusher. in handsome style. This establishment is being pa- tronised beyond expectation. Holders of Howard street flour are still asking $4 25. Some sales ty mills have taken place at $4 124. Tam inclined to think flour has fallen to its lowest.

After the board had ad- journed 30 shares of Commercial Bank sold at 30}; 18 Planters, Tenn., at 27; 50 Kentuck, at 43; $1100 Lehigh Sixes, 1845, at 21; and $800 Pennsylvania State Fives, ’56 and '59 at 45. This is a higher price than they have sold for for some months.— Whether this rise is caused from the fact’ that this stock will be taken in exchange tor various stocks held by the Commonwealth and advertised for sale, or not, is more than I know. It is so supposed, by many. A weaver by the name of Alexander Kyle, who had been on a drunken frolic for several devs: this morning committed suicide by drowning himself at Pine street wharf, in the Schuylkill. About five o’clock he left home, a little boy clinging to his arm, and ran towards the niyer. hen he reached the wharf he was seen to thrust the lad from him and leap into the river. His budy was subsequently re- covered and an inquest held upon it. He was about thirty years of age and resided at the corner of Pine and Ashlon streets. _John S. Hart, recently elected President of the Central High School, was duly inducted into office yesterday in the presence of a large auditory, Ad- dresses were delivered by Professors Bach and Hart, and by G.

"Hempstead. {Correspondence of the Herald.) Hempsreap, Sept. 13, 1842. ‘The last Pic Nic—Hempstead Harbor—End of the Season. My Dear Bennerr:— My time has been so fully occupied within the last few days that I have neglected to send you an account of the last pic-nic, the grand flnale of the season—the good-bye to summer sports. Splendid preparations were made for the beauty and wit of one of the romantic necks of Long Island to meet on Harbor Hill, Hempstead Harbor. A hundred invitations were given, music was ordered, and for miles around, for weeks, nothing was heard of but the pic-nic and the pleasure anticipated. On the day preceding, the youths of the adjacent villages turned out, and tables were arranged, flag stafis erected, and all bid fair for enjoyment. The day arrived; but, alas, thunder and light- ning, storm and hail,ushered in the morning. What a fall was there, my countrymen. The skies con- tinued to drop rain, and bright eyes dropped tears. Delay was impossible: the pigs almost squeeled “Come eat me,”—the poultry, vin and all the de- licacies of land. and water called loudly for atten- tion, A committee of arrangement was called, and soon all was in readiness, and the hospitable and commodious mansion of Mr. L— was thrown open for the reception of the party.

It has been supposed that the Harlem stock, held by the recent “ great operator,” would shortly be precipitated upon the market. The movement to-day was indicative of such an event: 1600 shares were sold, the largest proportion by the greatest bulls. The principal buyers were the “ shorts.” In the matter of Messrs. Boorman, Johnston and Co., it will be remembered that Mr. Sampson’s letter to Mr. Smith on the 27th of January, seven days after the ma- turity of the contracts, he stated that they had “ complied with the suggestions of Mr. Smith in relation to the con- tract.” Why do not Messrs. Boorman, Johnston & Co. placethose lettern with their “suggestions,” before the public? ‘The public have now a right to know what sug- gestions were passing between the parties before the ma- turity of the contracts—what were the proposed means of evading it~what were the calculations as to the ability of Little & Co. being able to bear the loss The terrible condition of the Alabama currency, is a matter of vast importance to all connected with Southern trade. The merchants of Mobile alone seem to be asleep to the fearful state of their affairs. All other sections of the Union have taken prompt and efficient measures to throw off the burden of a depreciated currency. The bilis of the State Bank of Alabama form at least four-fifths of the currency of the State. These bills are receivable for all State dues, although much depreciated. A project is now on foot to withdraw them from circulation, by fund- ing them in a State scrip, bearing 6 per cent interest, and to makethem no longer receivable for State dues. The Legaslature is to meet in December, when, under the De- mocratic rulers, atax will be levied to pay the interest on the State debt, and relieve the banks from the burden on that score. The funding of the bills will give the insti- tution a chance to emit a specie-paying currency, based upon the new crop. The ability of Alabamy. to pay is un- doubted ; the will depends entirely upon the people of Mobile, who, if they firmly persevere in a determination to take nothing but specic, or bills at their specie values, can sound currency in 80 days. ‘To show more clearly the loss sustained by the public in theuse of a depreciated currency, we annex the com- parative wholesale prices on the same day in Mobile and New Orleans, on a few leading articles : the quotations here being for Alabama money, and in New Orleans for specie :— Pricesin New Price: Mob.

We learn from the Sangamo Journal of Friday last, that a meeting was held in Springfield by the tax payers ofall partios, at which they resolved, that there was no law to justify the recent proclamation of the Governor, Prohibiting the reception of State Bank paper in payment for taxes; and that they would not pay their taxes for 1812, in any better currency, until otherwise ordered by Sonnet TO MESSRS.

They resolved that they were in favor of compelling the State Bank to pay specie for her notes, or withdraw her circulation and wind up her affairs ; and that State Bank paper ought not to be received in pay- ment to the School and Seminary funds. The Mexican manufacturers are clamoring loudly for protective duties on coarse cotton and woollen cloths. It appears from the table inserted in yesterday's Herald, that the consumption of foreign wheat in France for the year 1840, was 6,398,695 bushels, valued at $6,029,424. The consumption of foreign wheat flour ,was valued at $976,000. ‘The lacgest proportion of the flour was sent from the United States, but a small quantity of the grain went from this country. The consumption of foreign grain in France this year, will be greater than ever, and that at a'period when the granaries of Europe have been exhausted by a succession of bad harvests in Eng- land, followed up by an immense deficiency in those of France and Spain. ‘The United States alone stands forth, with superabundant crops at low prices. A London paper of a late date, remarking upon this faet, as connected with the currency, has the following: — “We sucha the a fiabrett reece eesoreaesermten o Guune demand or the precious metals be sont over the Atlantic. It is im le to guess at the amount ; it may not be sufficient to create alarm, and certainly will not if all the indebted States pay up their arrears and dividends punctually. Will this contemplated flow of money raise prices? It may ‘them falling still lower, and may raise the prices of some things which have been most dt and most checked in the production—such as iron for example; but we do not imagine it will have any farther effect on of raw materials in geweral beyond preventing the price falling.” These views of the effects of a flow of currency, and exports of produce upon prices, arise from the great difference between the state of affairs here and in Eng- land. In England, the masses of the consumers are the manufacturers. When bread is cheap with them, they buy more goods, and trade is more prosperous. In this country, the vast majority of the consumers are agricul- turists; whese means of purchasing goods depend upon the prices of their produce. Therefere, in England, when bread rises, trade declines. Inthe U. States, when produce rises, trade inereoses. By high prices, we would not be understood to mean those fictitious paper values, which return to the farmer no actual equivalent—but we mean those actual prices improved by the effective de- mand which give to the farmer a higher equivalent for the results of his labor. We have on a former occasion given a comparative statement of the employment of the inhabitants of Great Britain and the United States—we will here give a similar table, a little more in detail:— Comparative Oocverazene is Great Bastain avy THE Creat Briiele, United States. ine cree eo 4,132,202 4,748,964 In England, the egriculturists are to the other classes as 1to 4. In the United States, they are as 4 to 3. Now by tho best authorities in England,it is calculated that wheat will range 10s. per quarter lower this year than last, and that the reduction on other food will be 20 per cent, equal in both cases to a saving @ £20,000,000, or $100,000,000, in the price of food. That fs, that four-fifths of the popula- tion will have to pay so much lets (or food, and will there- fore have %0 much more to appropriate to the purchase of manufactured goods. In relation to the prices of food, the same state of affairs exists in this country, but its effects are reversed. Instead of taree-fourths of the popu- lation having to pay so much less, four-fifths of the popu- lation reeeive so much less as me reward od La esl ‘and by so impoverishing them the manufacturers hope make them pay ;higher prices for goods. In relation to the increase of prices by the operation of the tariff, we have compiled the following table, showing the adva- lorum duties upon prime articles of consumption under each tariff :—
