NEW YORK New York, Monday, December 19, 18# HERALD. Non-ARRIVAL OF STEAMSHIP amer had not arrived at Boston when the mail he had then been out a eft en Saturday afternoo: ttle over thirteen days. She may have reached there soon after or some time that night. If so we shall receive her news by the tern land mail, which will » ere about two o’clock this after- noon, The ir ence from Europe may be important. Af'll events it will be interesting. ¢ India mail was due in London before the Britannia sailed, and nay therefore get some news {rom that quarter of the world For Boston papers by yesterday’s mail we are in- iebted to Adams and to Harnden. Their kindness we n sending immediately to our office will be remem- vered Congress, This highly respectable body of philosophers have now been in session a fornight—spent about thirty thousaad dollars in money for pay and mileage—and about four hundred thousand gallons ef wind in the shape of speeches—but they have not yet begun the real business of the session. Yet we begin to like them very much. There appears to be more good temper—a cheerful wit—a fine imagination and real fan among them this winter, than we ever re- member to have seen. The reports thus far, have been most agreeable reading—and if they continue so good tempered and ovial, dow t care how few laws they pa We don’t think the country will suffer much, if they do nothing at all, but quiz each other for the next two months. At one time, the politicians cried out * give us a sub-treasury, or there will be a crisis”—at ano- ther time * give us a national bank, or there will be and now it is, there will be acri This is all fanfaronade—the country is going a-head—as prosperous as ever—full of plenty— cheaper and fresher than for twenty years past. 7 principal distress exists with those who lived beyond their income—and now de- on rotten banks, rotten stocks, or rotten culations, The great middle class, of farmers— mechanies—traders—and honest people, comprising give us an exchequer, or have pend hirds of the population, are as happy, rich prosperous as they ever were, or everean be. None complain but the riotous liber- tine—the wasteful lawyer—the dishonest financier— the miserable politician—the impudent beggarly fashic or the tricky broker. {f Congress were never to pass another law for twenty-five years, it would be better for the repub- lie. The country is ridden to death by the multi- plicaty and fluctuation of our laws, We are glad to see, therefore, some symptoms of wit, fun, philo- »phy, and old-fashioned good temper in Congress— and if they do nothing during the session, but per- petrate sparkling jests or crack rich jokes—it will be far preferable to perpetrating bad laws, or crack- ing thick sculls. Tae Moriny.—The whole community is greatly agitated by the account of this horrible affair.— There now appears to be a division of opinion on the matter, which is beginning to manifest itself in vari- ous ways. Yesterday and the day before facts have been very freely circulated, of an opposite tendency to those published by us and some of our cotempo- raries, and which throw a different light on the af- fair. One statement says that one of the persons who were executed solemnly protested his inno- cence till the last moment, and it is added that suf- ficient evidence will be given, as soon as an inves- tigation takes place, to show that Spencer alone originated the mutiny and chalked out all its details, but that no one ly and seriously joined him. On the other side, a great many members of the bar, begin to object to the legality of the conduct of Commander McKenzi One thing, however, is certain, there was no doubt of the intention on the part of Spencer, to create a mutiny and carry out the infernal project. That is admitted on all hands. And under all the circumstances, the boldness and decision with which a United States officer acteds can only be paralleled in some of those incidents in the early history of the Roman Republic, which il. lustrate so fully the complete and perfect discipline which governed the Roman Legion. The subject will, however, be daily discussed and sll sorts of rumors and opinions will be circulated, watil the Court of investigation or trial take up the matter, and all the facts are known. The sooner this is done the better. Ataraine Corncipence.—Prophet Muller is not alone in his glory. John Jones, of the “ Madiro- nian,” has just been up at Gilgal, and the spirit of prophecy has enveloped him, like an old coat and a pair of breeches, both costing half a crown. John speaks as follows:— It is obvious that a storm is brewing in the political fir- manent. ‘Tho elements of discord are rising above the horizon in every direction. Like the fitful gusts on the darkly overcast ocean, we observe, ever and anon, some aspirant vainly endeavoring to catch a favorable breeze. © But the storm is coming—it must come—and when i: bursisin its fary, the dashing waves of public opinion will sink many a frail b , . CHER But when the thunder has rolled, and the lightning has flashed, and the storm has spent its fury—then we will have brighter skies than ever, and the body politie will stand forth regenerated and disenthralled. Awful! frightful! The end of the world is cer- tfinly at hand. John Jones and Father Miller both propheey a “‘storm,” and we begin to be horribly alarmed for all the small potatoes throughout the country. Denanogwent or THe Maris.—There is a most shocking derangement of the mails somewhere be- tween New York and Washington. We have re- ceived numerous complaints trom members of Con- gress, relative to the Herald. Now we are certain that the copies of the Herald, addressed to both Houses,are regularly put up and deposited in the Post Office here. Beyond that we have no control. We never knew the irregularity of the mails worse than y are at this time. Again—Dr. Jones, ot the Post Office at Washington, solemnly assures our correspondent there, that he sent off by the govern- ment express to this city, three of the President’s Messages, addressed to us, and yet not one of them was received by us in New York. How came these important messages to be lost, when every other newspaper in New York received them ? Will Post- master Graham please to explain?) We must get to the bottom of this mystery. Sweerwo ras Srreers.—Objections are offered against the new plan of sweeping the streets, be- cause the contract is to continue for five years.— This is a mere party objection. The locofocos fear that a certain amount of additional power may thus be put into the hands of the Whigs, for that period of time, and therefore they oppose the plan. But what have the public, who only want the streets properly cleaned, todo with this new partizan question? It does not matter a pin whether the contractors be locofocos or whigs, provided they fulfill their obli- gations. Unless the contraet be a liberal one and tor a number of years, the streets will be as filthy as at present. The system must have some degree of permanence. If the contract be merely for a year, the contractors will be constantly changing, and no system or organization in the work will be effected. The public have nothing todo withthe petty quar- rels of pohtieal loafers, and it can be of no conse- quence to them who getsthe job. Let us have the new plan in operation at once. 1 Noan’s Crue at Minitany Hai, meets te- night to weigh the quantity of old fat they have in store for winter. Can’t these grave philosophers pass a strong resolution—a resolution as strong as old salt pork—in favor of removing Mr. Taggart from the office of Surveyor, and of putting in Major Noah? Do, try. The Major and I are almost tired out writing longer for the “two dollars a day and roast beef.” Brrrannia.—This Tur Creorr System.—The Editor of 1! moad Enquirer makes an appeal to his delinquent subscribers, which, forthe sake of human nature, we must hope will not be without its effect. _ Mr. Ritchie states that he has examined his books lately, and finds that, while he owes some 12 or $14,000 to the banks, which he is required to eur- il rapidly, there are ten or twelve times that ount due to him; and very frankly informs the aquents that, unless they pay at least a part of their liabilities, he will be under the necessity of associating two of his sons with himin the manage- ment of the Enquirer, and devoting a part of his time to some more lucrative employment. Now, here is a man advanced in life, who has for thee years and more devoted his time and talents, assiduously, to his protession—and, whatever we may think of his politica! principles, we cannot deny that he has been the main spring of the party to which he belongs in Virginia—who, in his old age, is subjected to the hazard of seeing the roof which shelters him exposed to sale, because those who owe him Five Dollars a year for a paper which they have read, Cand it is to De hoped profitted by,) will notpay him. He has “lived frugally and worked hard.’ He has earned money but cannot get it— aye, cannot get the haif of it. Verily, the blush of shame should burn upon and blister the cheek ot the delingnent, who, after reading the Enquirer's state- ments, does not promptly come forward and dis- charge obligations which should long since have been fulfilled. Mr, Ritchie’s case is the case of too many Edi- tors in the United States. There are too man who grow rich on paper, while they go through life living from “hand to mouth,” and die having not more than enough to bary them decently—if, indeed they can do that. The remedy isin their own power. If Mr. Ritehie had conducted his business on the cash system as wedo, he might have been worth $50,000 over his debts at this day. Instead of which, by the false credit system, he has on his books debts due him equal to $150,000—and owes the banks $14,000. Here also is the cause of his errors as an inde- pendent newspaper conductor. In consequence of his debts to the banks, he must submit to their delin- quencies—wink at their frauds and follies—and speak gingerly of their defaulters and defaications. Hence again the gross financial immorality of the age is produced and increased by the errors in the management of the newspapers—particularly in their financial department. We saw this great andjradical error,during our con- nection with the American newspaper press, from 1820 up to 1835—and in May of the latter year we started the Herald, entirely on the cash principle—pay- ments in advance—and look at our success, inde- pendence, usefulness’ vast circulation, popularity and comfort. It is trae, in that time, we may have lost two or three thousand dollars by the careless. ness, inattention, and mismanagement of agents, clerks and employés—but the error is always disco- vered in a week or so, and always promptly correct- ed. Inthe midst of a bank-ridden community, we have been independent, and beyond the control of all banks, corporations, and financial scoundrels of. every kind. Hence our vast and increasing circula- tion—now fully 30,000 copies of all kinds, besides extras. But our cash system 1s not alone one of the rocks on which our establishment is built. The principle of equitable adjustment observed in the price of sub- scription—size of the paper—and charge for adver- tisements, is another of the causes of our success. The penny press, as well as the sixpenny press, is not founded on this principle at all—they charge their advertisers too much—their readers too little— hence in a season of revulsion when advertisers cur- tail, they sink before the gale. On the contrary, it increases our revenue in a period of low prices and of specie currency, and enables us to expend more on the intellectual machinery of our establishment. Hence, again, the cause of the vast supertority of the reports of all kinds—the articles and orignal matter of the Herald. We employ nearly four times the number of reporters and writers, all of the first quali- ty, on the Herald, over that of any paper in New York. The whole of our accounts—expenditures and receipts—are balanced every week, and what- ever the profit may be, itis known to the utmost penny, and all in hand. We are founded on such principles as will defy the whole press combined to affect our prosperity or our euccess. ‘Tue Peniratetic Puttosorny.—The following exquisite specimen of the character and value of the popular lecture system, appears in the adverti- sing columns ef the Boston papers:— Prov. Marritt’s Last Lecturs.—On Wednesday eve- ning, Dec. 7, at half-past seven o’elock, Prof. Maffitt will deliver his lecture at Light Street Charch, on “The Men of the 19th Century”—the last of his second course of lectures. Topics of the lecture—man ia Eden: Mathu- salem and the angel; man in the patriarchal state; plagued by too many wives, man in cities ; a tyrant and a warrior, anorator; philosopher ; writer ; patriot ; the great men at the close of the eighteenth century; true men of the nineteenth century ; crusade of British literature against the American character; what is ex the men of this era; universal education a mean and medium of universal moral influence ; American Swart- wouters ; the mercantile and monetary character of Bal- timore; the ladies get their revenge ; the flirts ; the fortune and wife hunters ; the American Navy; the moral hero ; the “‘small potatoes poets”; the farmer's opinion of albums; the value of a real man; the real gentleman to he found at his trade, behind the counter at his yard-stick, at the plough handle, as well as in courts, palaces, or halls of legislation ; the glorious wealth and independence of the farmer and owner of soil ; two letters from Balti- more ladies to gentlemen ; the lecturer’s farewell to his course, Tickets to be had at the bookstores, and at the door of the church. This willdo. This is just the way to enlighten, instruct, and improve the world. Mr. Maffitt must come here. His lectures would have a decided run. Nireep.—The sugar crops in Lafourche, Louisi- ana, have been injured by late frosts. Navau.—The U. 8. steam frigate Missouri, at Pensacola, would remain there two or three weeks, and then proceed to Norfolk. Cuarnuam Tuearre.—We perceive that Mr. Thorne has dramatised Cooper's beautiful novel of “Wing and Wing, or La Feu Follet,” and that it will be performed for the first time this evening. There are many thrilling incidents and situations in this excellent work, which must produce a powerful effect when given onthe stage. It is got upin the appropriate and magnificent manner which has so long and deservedly distinguished this theatre in the production of like novelties, and will doubtless have a long run. Another new drama, entitled the “ King’s Word,” is likewise announced for to-night, together with the popular comedy of the ‘“ Water Party.” Cuear Lrrenaiure—Cory-rient Law.—We find that the republication of the most licentious French novels has been commenced in this city. A large edition of Paul de Kock has been issued, and we will probably soon have George Sands, and others of the same stamp. Itis impossible ts exaggerate the demoralizing tendency of these filthy works.— They will do more to corrupt and destroy our youth than ali the obscene papers which could be issued in a century. The latter are too gross and revolt- ing to find their way to any circle but the brothel. But the novels now beginning to be issued will cir- culate without suspicion as freely as those of Bulwer and Boz. It has not been difficult to perceive the gradual tendency of cheap literature to this frightful point. We had first the scepticism, irreligion, and polished licentiousness of Bulwer, and the descriptions of the vilest purlieus of the English metropolis by Boz, and now we are threatened with a deluge of the most lascivious productions of the French novelists. The price at which these demoralizing works are sold, puts them within the reach of all classes, and especially of the young of both sexes. It is fright- ful to reflect on the results which must inevitably and speedily follow. Tt seemsas if all the foundations of publie morali- ty were threatened with overthrow. Corrupt bank- ers and financiers—rotten politicians—licentious no- velists—are all united in this iniquitous work. And strange to say, the pulpit is silent. What ia to be done? Ought not these importations of foreign li- centiousness and immorality be prevented? No thing but an international copyright law can do this. Works of improper tendency from abroad would thos be shat out, and we would soon have a healthy oatlonal literature growing up ongat 93. Srean Rustaq. reat preparations are mi among the democracy, for the election of the Re- publican General Committee, which takes place, including fights and braady-and-water, between the hours of 1 o'clock and 8 o’olock P. M., next Thurs- day. This committee will have a prodigious influence with Governor Bouck in the distribution of the State offices—and in the price of oats for the old White Horse—also with President Tyler in the reorganize- tion ot the Custom House and Post Office—and ov the whole country on the turn they may give in re- ference to the candidate for the next presidency. ‘This city is the grand centre of democracy and spoils for the whole Union. Prepare. Sincutar Conpucr.—The brig William Neilson cleared for Port-au-Prince on Saturday last. On Gilpin, of the Exchange News Room, sending let- ters and papers to the office of Skelding & Ferr’ (the agents for the brig) the latter refused to ta them, and also said they should not take them on board the vessel if they were sent there. This is not the first time (by a dozen) they have refused (0 take papers. They are, we believe, the only mer- chants in the city that will not allow them to be sent in their vessels. We would now simply inquire the reason of such a singular line of conduct, in the owners, or agents of this vessel. 1t is probably without a parallel! ix the whole Union. The owners, proprietors and agents of every ship or vessel that goes to sea, are deeply indebted to every News Room, and to ship- ping newspapers of our principal shipping ports, and such conduct is not only discourteous in the highest degree, but positively ungrateful and unjust. What color of excuse can be given for such conduct ? Nieto wy rue Fretp—Granp Concert.—Niblo is again inthe field. A grand concert will be given at his Saloon to-morrow evening, in which Mrs. Sut- ton and Mr. Brahara, including Mr. Charles Bra- ham, will all appear. This will be one of the choicest concerts of the season—and promises to be most brilliantly attended. Loss or Sreamers.—Since July 1, 1841, no less than eighty-five steamers have been burnt and snagged on the western rivers. Total loss at least $1,400,000 in little more than one year. Sm Cuartes Bacot.—Adyices from Kingston, Canada, state that the Governor General is much worse ; but slight hopes are entertained of his re- covery. Larest FRom ALBany.—Last evening Pomeroy & Co., who run their express over the Housatonic Rail Road, brought us Albany papers of Saturday eve- ning. No news. Tuanxs—To Pullen & Copp for Albany papers in advance of the mail. City Intelligence, ‘Tue Boanp or Auprnen meet this evening,when it isto be presumed, or hoped at least, that the Police Bill, so long talked of, will be brought up in some shape for action. The Colt committee will also make a report. The Board of Assistants meet to-morrow night, when the Market ques- tion will come up and the ordinance passed in the Board of Aldermen be so amended as to include all the provisions including the licensing of Butcher shops that were ro curiously cut and carved out of the bill on its passage through the other Board. Ronsery ix tHE Tomss.—On Saturday lias “the Jumper,” was arrested by the watch urbing the peace of the city, and yesterday morn- er a hearing before the Police Magistrate, was clo. in oneof the cells of the city prison. Soon after a man named Wm. R. Satterthwaite, who had been com- mitted for acommon assault and battery, was placed in thesame cell with McKay, and no sooner was the door closed than the latter asked him if he had any money, and receiving a reply in the aflirmative, demanded a delivery at once. Satterthwaite refused, when the “ jumper” jumped into him, throttled him by the neck, and throwin him on the floor ofthe cell,was about carrying his deonnd into such execution,that Satterthwaite, supposing that he wasto be choked to death he unless surrendered, cried enough, and gave up the contents of his pockets, consist. ing of two twenty-five cent pieces. Deputy keepet hearing a noise in the cell, inquired the cause, and learn- ing the particulars of the affray, ordered McKay to return the money. This he refused to do, when Pierce necked him, threw him down, and upon searching his vest peck- ets the two twenty-five cent pieces were found in one of them.

Dear Sin :— News in this portion of the country .is scarce, and I almost fear you will vote my lettera bore; butas Thave so long delayed writing you, I am inclined to give such information asI am in possession of, be it of service or otherwise. ‘We have some twenty sail now in port, some just arrived, others already laden and awaiting a fair wind to depart. Of the more recent arrivals, we have this morning the fine ship Emblem, Talbot, master, from New York via Key West, in sixteen days from port. Also, the brig Susquehanna, Tim, from New York, in filteen days. Vessels lying i port aera , are the bark Kennebeck, Smit! rig Mazeppa, Davis; schooner Mary Ann, of Balti- more, bound for New Orleans, (after discharging here) with cotton. Brig Christina, Warren, mas- ter; Napoleon, and Georgiana, are ready to sail, freighted with cotton, consigned to New York. The brig Emeline, Fish, master, sailed this morning for New York, with cotton. The ship Emblem will load by lighter, and remain in the hen Cotton is coming in rapidly, and the receipts so far, taken as an earnest of the quantity to come i will come upto forty thousand bales, being estima: ted as a surplus over last year’s crop, of twelve thou- sand bales. The quality of this cotton is the best, and willamply make up all the former years defi- ciency. Freights are high in proportion to the price of cotton, which is now only 5} cents, while freights are } to New York. : ‘The facilities for the forwarding of goods to the upper country through this place, are ot the most expeditious kind, being despatched by railroad to Tallahassee, and from thence to the diflerent towns. Tallahassee is twenty miles north of us on the rail- road, which although rot quite as comfortable as some of the northern ones, is fully as much so as your Harlem Railroad. | i The port of entry for this place is St. Marks, now deserted in consequence of not possessing the neces- sary accommodation for the storage and sh pment of cotton, and the custom house removed to this lace. The papers of vessels being still made out as rom St. Marks, our port is not much known abroad. We have several large stores here doing a good bu- siness, and the buildings used for the storage of cot- ton, are commodious and well built ; also, two good hotels. The Port Leon House kept by Messrs Parks & Scott, and the Planter’s Home, by N. W. Walker, both of which afford superb fare, and gen- tlemanly treatment, at moderate rates. Good ho- tels inthis country are scarce, and I advise our northern friends to keep there houses in mind, when tee visit Florida. , yh ‘he Indians have recently evinced a disposition to play a treacherouse part towards us, and to take ad- vantage of the pacific measures, which Col.JWorth has adopted with them. A_ few days since, six of them abseonded from Key No. 4, (one of the Cedar BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Camreacny.—Some of our respectable contempo- ries seem to have fallen into quite an error relative to the position of parties at Campeacny. They place great stress on the fact that the Mexicans possessed the heights adjacent to the town, and infer that it is i impostant matter. Now the town of Campeachy is fully fortified by sea, having several impregnable forts, on which the authoriues depend for defence against a naval attack. Formerly a height in the rear was fortified also by the Bienisatiy for the | vurpose of commanding the own in case of an emergency. Butit will be remembered, that when the Yueatecos became well convinced that Santa Anna was determined to send against them all bis disposable foree, they determined he should not, cither by foree or stratagem, get possession of the ! commanding forces, and immediately razed it to the ground, leaving the hill bare and defenceless. Consequently the Baxesss, in that position, enjoy only the appearance of a triumph—allowing them to have reached there, which our direct information does not advise us of at all.—N. O. Bul. Dec. 9. Nayat.—We learn that orders are received at the Navy Yard, Gosport, to fit out the U.S. frigate Brandy wine for service. ‘The steamer Poinsett, Lt.

Presipent Botrvar’s Remains.—We_ learn by a passenger per the brig Michigan, that a Frene’ Cor- vette, the Columbian ship Constitution, and the American brig Caraccas, left Laguayra about the middle of last month for New Grenada, tor the pur- pose of conveying the remains of Bolivar to Caraccas where they were to be deposited in the vault of the church of St. Francisco.

Hehad joined the Washingtonian Society. — He was inyited to New York, und he wished to see that magnificent city before he left Washington. He had veen grossly abused by the celebrated Colo- nel Webb, editor of the New York Courier for his active exertions to repeal the bankrupt law. Whilst he was in New York, this editor daily continued his detrction and siander ; and jn his last article of out- rageousattacks heid him up before his constituents a recreant knight, ready to inflict injury, but des- ute of the courage to resent insult, or vindicate character. Forbearance now ceased to be a virtue. He called Colonel Webb to the field, and only re- grets that he was but partially punished for his un- provoked, vindictive, and unprincipled abuse ot pri- vate reputation. Col. Webb had promised to fight him in six hours, but delayed the matter near three weeks. He could not return to Washington city whilst the affair was in progress; for in the District of Colambia the giving or receiving a challenge was a penitentiary offence. [f, under all these circum- stances of wanton aggression on the part ot Col. Webb, he had not called him out, there was not a Presbyterian lady in his district, who would not have waipped him with her garters, in scorn and contempt, from her presence.” QG> This isa regular gala week at the American Mu- seum. Our citizers are just beginning to discover that General Tom Thumb, Jr., exhibiting there, is the most intererting and marvellous living curiosity that the world ever produced. Hundreds of our first families have visited the General during his stay there. Carriages filled with the elife oy the city, were stopping at the Museum every hour in theday. This wonderful prodigy remains the whole of this week, and all whe desire to see by far the smallest man in the world, and at the same time, a lively, talkative, and intelligent fellow, who is only the size of an infant, and weighs but fiiteen pounds, will embrace this opportunity of doing so. The Generol occupies a smell house a portion ot his time, which was built purposely for ind which any child ten years old could take in its arms and run away with. The General says that, small as he is, he hopes to be President of the United States yet, a supposition which it is quite within the range of possi- bility may yet be realized. The performances this week in the lecture room, (which with its enlargement and deco- rations, is a perfect gem,) are of the very first order. Bar num is making arrangements for the holidays, which will agreeably surprise eur citizens, and which surpsss in grandeur and magnificence, all his former efforts. AmrnirHeatae.—Besides the classic performances in the arena this evening, the renowned Ethiopian Minstrel of the South, Mr. Emmit and his pupil, Master Pierce, will add to the merriment of the occasion. It will be seen by reference to the bills, that the Amphitheatre has reduced the prices of admission to the pit and second tier of boxes to one-half the original price. The first tier, or dress cir- cle, we are glad to see, remains st the same price as for- merly. &@ There will be a rich scene to-night at the New York Museum. Nellis, the “ wonder of the world,” born without arms, will shave any of the audience with his feet, which is certainly a most extraordinary feat, and we think “taking # man by the nose with your toes,” would defeat all his attempts to preserve his gravity. Itis, we admit, a barberous affair, and has the appearance of being dangerous, but we can assure you it is perfectly h-arm- Nevertheless, we should be to-tally epposed to hav- g our proboscis feted in such a manner.

The celebrated “Extract” sold by the College of Meaicine and Pharmacy, is compounded of these medicinal roots, and is therefore infinitely superior to the mixtures of spurious Sarsaparilla and Liquorice, to which mercury is added to streugthen them, which are sold under the name of “Ex tract of Sarsaparilla.” ‘The “Extract” sold by the College will soon supercede these useless and and inert prepara- tions. The immense sale of thie article has given the members of the College the greriest encouragemen’, and they can now have no doubt that the sale of their genuine and skilfully compounded medicines will soon put an end to the vending of secret nostrums and deadly, infallible remedies.” The Extract of Sarsaparilla is sold at 75 cents per bottle.

The aggregate quan- tity, it will be seen, has increased steadily 100 per ceat from 1831 to 1841. The greater proportion of this in- crease hes been to Germany and Holland, where the consumption of cotton goods has increased much faster than imports from Grest Britain. The largest increase in the exports of goods has been to the East Indies. A remarkable feature in the table is, however, the Breat fluctuationin the trade te the United States, trade where there was a paper currency, as compared to those countries where a specie currency predominates. In the year 1831, when the tariff was highest on cotton goods, the exports to the U. States were very large, and, ‘as the tarift was reduced, the emount fell off 50 per cent in 1840. These quantities, showing theactual number of yards sent, gives a more correct view of the case than values, For instance, the average value per yard in 1931 was 14} cents, and in 1840, 10} cents--henee, in 1840, the cotton manufactures of England gave 171,588,695 yards of cloth more, for the same amount of money, than the quantity they gave for that sum in 1831. In 1840 the tarift was 50 per cent less in the U. States, and yet, with this vast reduction in price and duty, the export te the U. States fell off 60 per cent. Let the advocates of protection explain these indisputable facts! We will give our expla. nation, and for the purpose of variety, will take the arti- cle of woollens, because the same general features are presented by every article of import into the U. States on which a high duty was paid. In the year 1931, woollen goods bore a duty of 45 per cent—this was raised to 50 per cent in 1882, and, under the compromise act, fell to 32 per cent in 1540. Bearing this in mind,we will inspect the fol- lowing table: Tante SHowine tue Vatve or tHe Whore P ie Wootters Prom Gaeat Barraix ro tie U. ea tas « Series or ¥! ano THE Vanur or tHe WioLe into THE U, States ror Cor- mM PartiaMentary Tas.es aNd asuny Returns :— ess 1.
