YORK HERALD. | v Vark, Wednesday, June 17, 1846, ! W ———=== oe | Further Advices from Europe. | ‘The steam ship Caledonia is now in her thir- | teenth day, and may be expected to-morrow or the nextday. She will bring five days later in- telligence, ‘Tarif! Move it will be seen, on reference to our Congression- al proceedings, that the House of Representatives has taken up the tariff; and we have no doubt before they are through with it, there will be ma- \y important alterations made, This is the commencement of the contemplated changes in our commercial systems, and we hope ull those proposed will be perfected and carried through. We trust the Warehousing bill will not ; be lost sight of amidst the excitement attending | the progress of the tariffalterations, as that must be a very important feature in any new commer- cial system we may adopt. With a comprehen- sive warehousing system, any defects that might exist in any new tariff bill, could not operate too tly upon our foreign trade, and there would greater uniformity in our importations, more implicity in custom house business general- ss delay in getting merchandize entered and ed, and in fact, a more economical admin- stration of the customsdepartment of the govern- nent, than has heretofore been possible to perfect. We shall be able in a few days to tell what will probably be the complexion of the new tariff bill. itis pretty generally admitted, by the opponents of the present act, that it cannot be reduced, that | he existing average rate of duty must, if possible, n part, at all hazards and sacrifice of party prin- ciples, be sustained. The present rate of duty, will not produce sufficient revenue to meet the | ordinary and extraordinary expenditures of the government, unless it is more judiciously levied under the new act than under that of 1842. There must be a duty laid upon staple articles of import, | and not so much upon such articles, the importa- don of which is regulated by the duty more than by the demand. When revenue is the principal object, those articles regularly consumed by the | people at large, and the importation of which is from year to year uniform,must bear the burden of a duty high enough to relieve many articles from a duty high enough to shut them out almost entirely, We refer particularly to the establishment of a duty upon tea and coffee, and would suggest that | a duty of at least twenty-five per cent be placed | upon these articles, | It appears by our advices from Washington, | thatthe West are opposed to laying a duty upon | either tea, coffee or salt. The Secretary of the Treasury has submitted a new repert upon the finances of the government, and of the tariff, to the Senate. The difficulties with Mexico, and | the increased expenses of the government, ap- | pear to have upset all his former plans, and he | has been compelled:to change his system entirely. It is our opinion that all the financial genius of | Mr. Secretary Walker will be brought into action in providing for the deficiency of fitteen millions of dollars. It is suggested by the Secretary, that | a law be passed, authorising an issue of treasury notes, instead of resorting to a direct loan. | The business of the administration has just commenced. We have been getting into debt, | and now comes the difficulty. We must get out of it the best way we can. State of the Mexican War. The present situation of our relations with Mex- ico, 18 in the highest degree interesting. General | Taylor is probably making active preparations for the occupation of Monterey, and our squadron | may have already received orders to attack the | Castle of San Juan d’Ulloa. | The Westeyn expedition is making a descent | on New Mexico, with a view to seize upon the | capital, Santa Fe, and the other principal towns | of that fertile region. Commodore Sloat has, in all probability, seized the ports of San Francisco and Mazatlan,on the Pacific,although it is thought that the large English squadron, on that coast, would offer some obstruction to such a movement. | The next news overland from the Pacific, will be of considerable importance, whether the Eng- | lish interfere or not. It will be important as indi- cative of the energy of our government in the prosecution of the war. It will be interesting to learn, however, whether there is to be a collision | between one of our squadron and the English fleet, under Admiral Seymour; for although con- templated, or countenanced, perhaps, by neither | country, yet it would be aptto engender an ir- ritation of feeling difficult to allay. The next news, then, will be highly exciting — There is a possibility of two sea encounters ; and | the progress of General Taylor on his march to | Monterey, will be looked to with intense anxiety by the whole country. We shall issue an extra the moment impor- tant news arrives. Tue Stare Convention.—This body has at length commenced the work for which they have been delegated by the ‘people. We see that on Saturday last, they took up several of the most important questions that are to engage their attention. Among these the most | prominent are the law of libel, the salt duty, tax- ation of foreigners, non-imprisonment-for debt, ke. &o. We are glad to find that they evince some de- termination to carry out the business, for which they have been delegated, earnestly and faithful- | ly. They have now an opportunity of achieving | for themselves a lasting pepularity by a judicious | exercise ofthe rights with which the people have invested them, by instituting reforms of the many | defects which at present fexist in the le- | gal and judicial departments of our State go- vernment, and in various other matters connected with the polity of the commonwealth. If they #0 about their work in the right spirit, they can be instrumental in correcting some enormous abu- ses. We fear, however, that there are some members of the body inclined to use their tem- porary office for electioneering purposes, in order to make capital for the next State election. Will they be allowed to do so? | We hope that the honest men of the Conven- tion will immediately curb any petty political propensity they may discover, and that they will do their duty energetically, and with the single purpose of benefitting their fellow-citizens. Let them put down every system of demagogueism and humbug that may appear in their delibera- tions, and they will not be without their reward, | The people will not neglect their faithful servants. | There are two excellent propesitions already before the convention—one to allow to accused persons the right of final reply to the prosecution, and another to permit any person to actasa law- yer. The former proposition has been brought | before the Convention by Mr. Charles O’Conor. of this city, and the latter by Mr. Strong. lurorraxt Inventions.—We consider it to be the duty of Congress to confer suitable rewards on the authors of important inventions; and more especially ou those that conduce to the de- | fence ofthe country in time of war.

Some of the productions of these gentlemen, bear the impress of talent, and some are the ve- riest doggrel we ever saw in print. Those that emanated from her majesty’s subjects in Canada, are marked with the slang, envy and malice, that seems tocharacterises the newspaper press of that country, when alluding to the United States. If all were thrown into a bag, well shaken, and then taken out, the average would be neither goed nor bad, but something “betwixt and between,” asort of ** fair middling,” as the cotton broker would say. The best specimens that we have yet seen, are furnished by one of our subscribers, and an ex- change paper. We insert them in to-day’s pa- per asa specimen of our American war lyrics, and as a model for her majesty’s colonists tocopy from. Here they are :— Taylor on the Rio Grande. Tuxe—‘ The Barking Barber.” L I sing a doleful traged: "That late pefel in Texas, How the Mexicans crossed o’er the line, And terribly did vex us; ‘That is—they would have vex’d us sore, And folks wont soon forget A Their will was good t’ invade our soil, But Taylor wouldn’t let them. ‘Tow row row— Tol-de-ridy, rol-de-ridy, tow row row.

The first is peculiarly rich in its sllusions to the pompous despatches of the Mexican general, who was determined to eat up General Taylor and his army, if he had had an opportunity. The oppor- tunity, however, was not offered, but on the conr trary, the tables were turned, and the lickers be- came lickees. The thundering manifestoes and pronunciamentos of the Mexicans resemble, very much, the special edicts of the Brother of the Sun and Uncle of the Moon, in China. Chinese are the Mexicans of the eastern hemis- phere, while the Mexicans are the Chinese of the western hemisphere, but to both the “outside | Barbairans” are superior. Tue Rau.

Theconsequences of this distinction are obvious, and we can account at once, for the difficulty there exists, in procu- ring ‘‘seamen” for the navy. Our commercial marine is very extensive, and | keeps employed all the available force the country has. Itcannot be supposed that there is at any time many of them ashore, for the peculiar habits | of the sailor will not admit of it. They return from a voyage, and sail again immediately. We would suggest whether the wants of the navy, and the interests of the country, are not ur- gent enough to have this law modified. If it were modified, thousands of coasting and lake sailors would enlist immediately, and in a short time, the complement necessary te fill the navy would | be forthcoming. f : | For the information of “ sailors,” we give the | terms of wages, which are twentyjdollars bounty» | and ¢welve dollars per month, with three months ; advanced pay. | Theatrical and Musical. | Panx.—To night Mr. Dan Marble produces his prize comedy of “Family Ties,” at the Park, and we feel sured that the New Yorkers will give their old favorite | a warm welcome onthe occasion.

He has just returned from Phjladslphia and Baltimore, where he has been giving concerts with distinguishe: success. In those cities large and fashionable audiences have weleomed him back among them, and he has met with the success that lents as @ vocalist deserve. Mr. Templeton is univ ly acknowledged to be one of the first vocalists of the age,and as such he is appreciated. His reception this evening will no doubt bea brilliant one. ‘This is the last time, we understand, that the lovers of music, in this city, will have an opportunity of hearing ‘empleton before his departure on a Northern tour. itertainmont will embrace some selections from ‘La th 1 ea Spangled T presented by Mr. Templeton, and must draw a dience. , « | Tae Atteonansans—These talented vocalists give a | @oncert this evening at the Coliseum, 450 Broadway. | The entertainment comprises a number of songs, duetts, catches, glees, ke. ke. ; and from what we have heard of their singing, we have no doubt they will haye g full house. Their songs are all choice ones. | Herr Arexanver.—The intelligent audience at Pal- | mo’s last night were highly delighted with the wonderful | performances of Herr Alexander, and manifested their gratification by loud applause at frequent intervals. The remarkable feats of hand and scientific exhibitions of this gentleman, are the most mysterious and surprising we ever witnessed, and give a singular illustration of the power of humah ingenuity, aided by skill and science. me are almost to believe that ‘Old Nick” has a hand in sueh matters, andindesi it is scarcely possible to comprehend how man can accomplish such extraordi- nary tricks without supernatural assistance. We should yecommend every one to see these exhibitions at least | once. Castix Garprn.—The situstion of this noble saloon, one of the largest, if not the largest in the world, is the | best in the city for obtaining a cool breeze, during the | sweltering days of the summer solstice.

Their bills are no longer redeemed at the agencies. ‘The bill for chartering the New Haven and Collinsville Railroad, which pessed the Connecticut Senate a few days since, received an almost unanimous vote in the House in its favor, and only waits the signature of the Governor to become a law. This bill increases the stock of the company $900,000, providing that $200,000 shall be subscribed before the road is commenced, and $100,000 expended in eighteen months—shares increased to $100 each. ‘We annex a statement of the condition of the several banks of Ohio, taken from the returns of each bank made to the auditor of the State on the first Monday of May, 1846, showing the movement in the leading department of each Independent Bank, of each branch, and of the old banks, with the aggregate.

The statement in the above table is taken from the report of J:x:ry last. This bank paid $1,000 tax in 1845, but no report of Profits or dividends has been made to the State Auditer during the last six mor ths. The capital of the Trust Company used for banking purposes is $611,226 ; but the actual capital of the com- pany is two millions, and upon this sum the calculation of the per cent of the taxes paid has been made. The tax upon the old banks has heretofore been pad upon their dividends, being five per cent upon the divi- dends ; the tax will hereafter be six per cent gpon the profits of all banks, as prescribed by the act to incorpo” rate the Stat? Bank of Ohio and other banking companies, and by the act passed 9d March, 1846, to amend the act taxing banks, insurance and bridge companies, The rate per cent per annum of tax paid by the several banks was ascertained by doubling the amount received for six months. The amount received during the next six months will no doubt be much larger than it has been for the Jast six months. It appears from this statement that the whole amount Of taxes paid by the banks for (he six months ending on the 4th of May last, was $12,790 59 cents, being at tho rate of $25,099 19 cents persnnum The tax psid for the next six months will doubtless be much greater Two of the banks did not make their reports in time to be in- clude, in the statement. ‘The average amount of stock or capital employed by the banks during the past six months was $3,790,210, exclusive of the two millions of stock of the Trust Com- pany, which is not employed in banking, but is loaned to individuals upon mortgages of real estate. The total amount of capital employed in banking in the State on the 4th of May, was only $4,067,548 80, os shown by the | table given below. It will be seen that the Independent Banks have paid the greatest tax in proportion to their capital, being at the rate of one dollar and fourteen cents per annum up: every, handed Gctiesk: theie Gallas te, Given Saad and torty-four hundredths of ‘a mill on the dollar.
