NEW YORK HERALD. July 7, 1846, The Tarif Bill, ‘The tariff bill, which passed the House on the 8rd inst., wus taken up in the Senate, yesterday, and the motion to refer, it tothe Finance Com- mittee, excited a running debate. Threatened Revolution in Canada—-The English Corn Bill—More Annexation. Since the time when a r al of the British corn laws was seriously agitated in England, murmurs of discontent have been perceptible in the two Canadas, and particularly in Canada West, This province has hitherto been more attached to the British throne, and its inhabitants more loyal to th yernment, than the other; yet in this province the discontent has been greater, and the murmurings louder. Accord- ingly, as the discussion of the repeal of those laws progressed in the Imperial Parliament, and the | more certain the prospect became of their repeal, | the discontents in the Canadas became the more | violent in iations of the proposed | change. This discontent pervaded all classey of the Ca- | nadian people, and has frequently bedp exhibited in the parliament of that colony. On the 28th of January last, the Earl of Cath- cart, Governor General of Canada, at the solici- tation of the provincial legislature, addressed a despatch to the Hon. Mr. Gladstone, intimating, very plainly, that in case the corn laws should be repealed, the con of view, were suifi their den uences, in a political point ently obvious, viz.: aliena- tion from the mother country, and annexation to their rival and enemy, the United States. This wasan emphatic declaration that the bond of connection between those provinces and the mother ceuntry depended on the benefits they had hithesto received from the commercial pre- ferences in their favor, and in the event of those preferences being abolished, by a repeal of the corn laws, they would seek to promote their welfare by annexation to the United In reply to this despatch, Mr. Gladstone re- viewed ull the causes of complaint and dissatis- | faction, and endeavored to smooth them over if he could not remove them, and stated that the | repeal of the law was almost certain. He did not overtook the threat of revolution and annexa- tion contained in the Earl of Catheart’s despatch. | In relation to that, he said that it would, indeed, be a source of the greatest pain to her Majesty’s government, if they could share inthe impres- sion that the connexion between that country and Canada derived its vitality from no other source than from the exchange of commercial preferences. If it were so, it might appear to be a relation consisting in the exchange, not of bene- fits, but of burdens; if it were so, it wanld sug- gest the idea, that the connexion itself had | reached, or was about to reach, the legitimate | term of its existence—but her Majesty’s govern- ment still augured for a longer continuation, &c. Hero, then, we see a threat of revolution, openly thrown out by the chief officer of the Canadian | government, in an oflicial despatch to the British ministry, because the privileges they have hereto- | fore enjoyed were about to be removed. * What, | then, has become of all the loyalty they are so | fond of boasting of. | But this isa step that we apprehend, the mo- ment the abolition of the corn laws was proposed by Sir Robert Peel, and we mentioned it in the columns ofthis paper soon after. There is no doubt that Sir Robert Peel himself foresaw such acontingency, buthe could not help it. He was carried forward by the course of events. He had to make a virtue of necessity, and swam with the current that he could not control. He had mil- | lions of starving men and wemen at his back, | whose demands were uttered in tones that could | not be mistaken. Another concession should be made for the benefit of the many, and he resolved to make it, even at the risk of his office, and the | ates. sacrifice of his party. The separation of the Ca- | nadas isa measure that would sooner or later | take place, even were the corn laws never re- pealed. It is with nations as it is with men. While young both need the protection of the parent; but when they reach maturity, they be- come tired of being treated as children, and are desirous of managing their own affairs. Canada has mot yet reached maturity, but when she does, no doubt she will follow the course that other countries have taken. Annexation will, un- doubtedly, follow separation. At present it | would not be advisable to have Canada an inte- gral portion ofour country. Its inhabitants need | regeneration and purging, in order to clear them of the leaven of monarchy, before they would be | qualified to enterthe Union. Time alone can do that; and when it shall have done so, Canada, like a ripe pear, will fall into our lap. Guverat Taytor in Exctanp.—The English | papers are filled with praises of General Taylor. | His steady, determined gallantry, as well as the | brief, curt, terse, and vigorous style of his des- patches, free from all superfluities, has gained him golden opinions from all sorts of men—with | the exception of the Canada press. We rejoice that the English papers have shown | themselves superior to all petty jealousies m duly | appreciating the merits of this gallant officer.— | Their conduct in this respect forms a pleasing | contrast with the mean efforts of the Canadian editors to depreciate his services, and those of our | gallant little army under his command. It is in such particular bad taste for those Canadian ed- itors, who are anxious, with all their hearts, to be under the government of the United States, | to be constantly abusing our institutions, and | every thing connected with us. How can they | ever expect to be received with any favor into our republic ? We would advise these provincials to study the style and tone of the English papers, and to cor- rect their own thereby. Their too officious loy- | alty will subject them to grave suspicions of che- | rishing republican sentiments; and they would then be obliged to precipitate, what they are now endeavoring to effect by degrees,—namely, an- nexation to the United State: Genera Gatnes.—We shall probably publish | to-morrow # sketch of the career of this distin- guished officer in the last war, gleaned from au- thentic sources, and putting beyond all question his gallantry and patriotism. We are convinced | that it will be read by men of every party with attention. The history of Gen. Gaines’ life is part of the history of the country, and to detract | from his fame, or his reputation, is to tarnish the name of the service in which he has so often dis- tinguished himself. The account of his gallantry in the last war must gain him the respect and ad- | miration of his fellow citizens, and no one, who is | not prejudiced against him, can attribute his zeal | in raising volunteers for the Mexican war, to any | other motive than fervid patriotism. Laren rrom Tamrico.—The schooner Foam arrived yesterday, from Tampico, from whence she sailed on the 7th ult., the day after the re. ported bombardment by the St. Mary’s. Wo Oannot ascertain anything corroborating the ac- | counts as given in our paper of yesterday morn- ing. We have received letters, but nothing of | very late date. | — Latest rrom Montevipzo—The_bark Grilo ar- | rived at Rie Janerio, on the 24th of May, from | Montevideo, bringing dates to the 10th. General | Reviera had departed for the interior. The news | is limited and of-no importance. | | | | Distinevisuzp Movements.—The Hon. Daniel Webster, who has been at the Astor House for the om few days, will leave to-day, to resume his orial duties at Washington. \h | Nes, consequently, diffe: Since its introduction on seas, roads and r the world has assumed a new aspect ; urs is the country in which steam navigation was first used, so,we, as a na- tion, are likely to derive the greatest benefit from it. Our immense territory is consolidated—the great distances from place to place are annihila- ted—and our t rivers, whose currents would have ever defied the united strength of horse and man, are now as navigable as the ocean itself. As anation we have a right to be proud of our means of travelling. They are the finest in the Compare our steamboats with those of European countries—England and France, for in- stance. Inan English steamboat or steamship— for they are mostly of the class of sea vessels— you are crowded along with a hundred others, into a dark hole called the cabin, which 1s not much larger than the cabin of an ordihary mer- chant vessel, and here you are expected to sit, eatand sleep. The first of these operations is the easiest of accomplishment, as you will rarely have an opportunity of walking in such a dingy hole. As to the last, you will tind it difficult—for the cabin of an English steamer, for what reason I know not, is generally tilled with squalling chil- dren and their care-takers. With regard to eat- ing, it is generally acknowledged by travellers that the fare upon our roads and rivers is infinite- ly superior. All these defects may be charged to the systems of monopoly which exist upon Euro- pean roads and steamboat routes. On the other hand, let us examine the internal and external accommodations of our own beautiful | lution in travelliag. a world. | boats. Here, though ‘“cabined,” you are not con- fined ; and, instead of the gloomy Itttle apartment you may have met with in an English steamer, you find a room almost large enough fora crick- et ground, with a ceiling as lofty asa ball room. This saloon or dining room is furnished in a style of oriental elegance. You are never troubled with children or children’s maids, andifyou are a woman hater, you need not get into the com- pany of the ladies either. They have a “boudoir” of their own, as a kind of ‘interior of the harem,” into which no gentleman except he who is fortu- nate enough to own a little piece of property in- side, ever dares to intrude. Besides these, there isa neutral ground, and a | smoking ground, and a promenade ground, and | comfortable sleeping places, and breakfasts, din- ners and suppers, that should satisfy the most fas- tidious palate. Infact, you have only changed your home for a locomotive hotel of the first class. In railroad travelling we are behind the English in speed. Their railroads are constructed with more care, and at a greater expense; but when itis recollected that these roads pass through thickly populated districts, while ours traverse the wilderness, the difference of patronage will be seen at once to account for the superiority of English railways. Altogether, in our stages, railway cars and | steamboats, we enjoy the easiest and pleasantest travelling in the world. Formerly—we mean un- til steam was fairly introduced—travelling was looked upon as a hardship—an adventure; now it is more of a luxury, for few persons im our com- munity fare quite so well at home as they do up- on our first class steamers. Those that ply upon the North River, and also those running between New York and Boston, may very appropriately be termed “floating palaces.” It may also be re- marked that these boats possess accommodations superior to the steamboats upon the Mississippi and other Western rivers. The censtruction ef the latter renders them less capable of containing large dining rooms, and their table is not so well served ; but when it is considered that you may travel from New’ Orleans to St. Louis, a distance of twelve hundred miles, for twelve dollars, meals, berths, &c., included, it will not be wondered at that some economy is observed in their dinners. The great competition, within the last few years, has reduced the price of travelling to such an ex- tent. This price, (one cent a mile, with three | meals a day,) is, we believe, the cheapest travel- ling in the world, Itis to be borne in mind that the English ocean steamers, those that run to Boston and New York, are exceptions to all other English tor French steamships. Newsrarer Press In Caurrornta.—We are in- formed,upon very good anthority,that,in é6mpany with the new regiment, to be commanded by Col. Stevenson, a gentleman of this city will go with a press and type, to esjablish a newspaper in Cali- fornia. This gentleman is, we understand, well quali- fied for his duties, having had practical experi- ence in such matters already. It is contemplated to make the press and paper a part of the govern- ment enterprise, and make a government paper | of it. The gentleman who is to establish it will, | therefore, go out in the service of the government. Colonel Stevenson has gone to Washington, for the purpose of making a proposition, to the above effect, to the government. The propriety of making a government affair of it, is rather ques- tionable ; as a perfectly independent press always exerc'ses a greater influence than one over which there is the slightest censorship, however limited. Still, under any form, a press in California would do a great work. The Americans could be made to know the intentions of our government in re- gard to the territory in which they live, and the absurd prejudices which many of the native resi- dents may have toward us, and our country, would be dissipated by it. We hope the press will go. Cheap Bread. Mr. Eprtor,—Cheap and good bread is certainly a very desirable object, pi at the present price of flour, an attainable one, if the Common Coun- cil will only act in concert in its attainment. In the place of an assize ot bread, and establish- | ing the price Natl as in London, Washington, hat th &e., I suggest th ¢ Common Council pass an ordinance that bread, like meat, butter, c., be sold by the pound, and that all bakers shall make their foaves in one, two, three, and four pounds, and that they shall stamp the weight on each loaf, so that the purchasers can see and know what they buy, so far as weight is concerned. Let the Com- mon Council also make it the imperative duty of the Police to go into the bakeries, or shops, and ex- amine and weigh the loaves, at Teast once a week, but on no particular day, and if they are deficient in weight, every loaf found so, shall be forfeited and sent to the Alms House, and a fine imposed in addition. Let the purchasers weigh their lonves;in that way they will soon find out who are honest and who are otherwise. As brend is: of different qualities, I do not see ow any price can be fixed per pound ; therefore the price ought to be left between the seller and e a he as it is in regard to flour, beef, butter, and all other articles that are of different quali- also rent prices. I wi Suggest that potatoes of measure, as_ bein; ty gd by i > mo the 100 Ibs., instead of the urtlel si J. « Remargs.—We are glad to find that cheap bread stores are starting up inall parts of thé city.

Tuar’s THE Way THEY DO 1T.—While watching the course of passing events, onthe 4th, we haypened to be near a party of dragoon recruits on the Battery, in close and familiar conversation, with an equal party of coun- trymen, and the discourse being remarkably edifying, deserves to be preserved, so that future generations may have the evidence on record, of the honors and re- wards which the republic bestows upon the meritorious menwho fight the battles of their country. Amongst the recruits was one ‘old soldier,” who knew how to talk inthe most effective style, preserving atthe same time, an air of conscious truth and modesty, worthy of study, and which told well with his auditors. ‘Oh !” said he, “| would have given all of atwelve months pay and my three rations a-day,to have been with my company | on that charge, which won the battle of the 9th of May. I knew I should miss the chance of promotion by being sent here to recruit, but the Captain said some of us must come, and that as he wanted none but first rate men, who would earn their epauletts, and be an honor to the ser- vice, | must come, because I knew his mind better than all the rest, and that! should take my choice of the gal- lant fellows that would offer to join us.” On this, one of the countrymen enquired very innocently, if any of the soldiers were made officers of, after the great battles? Not at all abashed, my “‘ old soldier” looked at his c tomer with the most natural astonishment in the worl and replied, “ Why, man, in what part of the woods ha you been? There were promotions from the ranks o! every regiment, but the dragoons were the boys that took most of t! rizes. You know that Captain May’s command consisted of only seventy-five picked men, and that they took twelve pieces of artillery,a general, and two colonels, and a hundred and fifty men prisoners, aud brought them all in to General Taylor. Well, there were five (of these seventy-five) officers, five men were killed in the battle, leaving sixty-five brave fellows, the pride of the aay, aed the General immediately recom- mended fifty of them to the President for promotion, and the President sent all their neg tothe Sena coolly took out of hit ket a newspaper, and offthe names of fift; all belonging to the dra- nd his old com: 8,” who had been appointed masters, assistant quarter-masters and commis- grote. master-works of ancient and modern composers, \ ut ie have said enough of music and musical people ‘or to-day.

Robbing. Soldier —A notorious Water street thief, called Gordon, charged with robbing a dranken soldier by the name of Julius Waring, was arrested by officer Nelson, of the 13th ward. It appears the soldier took alittle too much grog, and spread himself in Water streeton a stoop, with about $2in his pocket. He had not lain there long before a thief came along, “ frisked ” his pockets, and bolted off with the money. The next thief was Bill Gordon, who is always on the ‘ ” for ‘such jobs, who likewise “frisked” him, but finding no money, he “ ” the “sodger,” by taking off his boots and ‘ing them on his own feet; he also took his cap, and was about taking off the soldier's coat, when, in this last operation, Bill was caught by the policeman and brought to the police office. The poor soldier wi Iso brought up, without boots or cap, looking any thing but in mi trim. Justice Osborne ordered the accused to pull off the boots, which he strongly refused to do; consequently, some half dozen officers were compelled to throw the rascal on his back and draw off the stolen | boots, to the great satisfaction of the unfortunate soldier. Locked up by the magistrate for trial. 4“ Lusher” at Work.—Andrew McDonald was arrest- od last night, by an officer of the 4th ward, having in his ssession a nid good coat, evidently stolen from some runken man, w! he had stripped in the street. The accused is one of those thieves who do nothing else but rob drunken men. Locked up for examixation. Arrest of a Convict.—Officer Smith, of the 5th ward, arrested a young , called Jim Henderson, slias Peter Morgan. who escaped from the on the 2d of July, by awimming across the river to Long Island, fully determined to spend the 4th in the city.

Nuisance in Nassau Staeet.—Directly opposite our office there is a happy, good natured, money-makin, Irishman, who provides the pedestrians of Nassau street with pineapples, green apples, oranges, bananas, kc.— There is also alarge hole in the street directly betw: him and us, which he fille up regularly every morning with pineapple peelings, the outsides of bananas, ai other erticles, which emit astench like that to the lee- ward of 8 certs. It may be very kind of our friend to fill up the hole, because the corporation won't, but we would advise him to use some more health- ful material, Is there no law against throwing y in the streets? We shall have to complain inst our friend, the fruit man, if he isnot more careful. We shall then find out why Simpson was discharged.
