This number of the Weekly Herald will bea very valuable one; it will contain the full particu- lars of the terrible disaster to the steamer Atlan- tie, with a complete list of those killed ; the great speech of the Hon. Daniel Webster, at Philadel- phia; the preparations in Washington for the meeting of Congress; the militaty and naval n‘ws of the week, including the account of the capture of Tampico; the late important intelli- gence fram Mexico ; commercial news, and per- haps late intelligence from Europe. Those desirous of sending cepies out of the city can obtain them, in wrappers, at the office, at sixpence each. The Ocean Steamers. ‘The Caledonia is now in her fourteenth day, and is fullydue at Boston. Her news is looked for with considerable interest. The Acadia, sailed from Boston on Tuesday af- ternoon, with forty-two passengers for Liverpool, and five for Halifax. The Cambria willleave Liverpool to-morrow afternoon, for Halifax and Boston. After this, till next spring, we believe, there wil} be but one steamer a month. Our famous packet ships will, therefore, enter the lists for the winter. Indeed, the Queen of the West, with | two days’ later news, may yet arrive before the Caledonia. | Next year, fifteen or sixteen ocean steamers | will bein service, The Ad Valorem Tariff—The Valuation of Merchandise—The Ignorance and Power of Appralsers—A Remedy Requtred. A distinguished political economist—Kauf- | man=in his work on the ‘Manufactories of France,” in speaking of those of Lyons, observés: | “We manufacture to the amount of two! hundred and seventy-three millions of francs | of silk goods alone, annually, one half of which is for home consumption, and the other for exporiation. With regard to our exportations, | the manufactories of Lyons have no enemies so | violent as the protective tariffs of other markets; | that of the United States, the most important, as under that our productions endure the | most hostility and extortion, and it is very common | to see the officers of the customs of the Union, | (appraisers,) from their ignorance of the true | values of goods, and their want of information and experience with regard to them, use, without | any cause but the right of their laws, the right to | value merchandise far above its real value;while in many cases, from the same cause, a great amount of merchandise is passed at an under valuation. It 8 true, in the former case, the importer has relief in a suit against the oppression of the appraiser; | but he is obliged to pay the expenses, which are | not refunded to him, if he gains the suit. The | rigor of these laws engenders frauds, and in con. | sequence, to tell the truth, the invoices present- | ed are for the most part fictitious. | “When the fraud is produced, the powers | from whom they emanated indirectly, dis- | play too much severity against them, which | shows, upon examination, the immorality of the | naost important regulations in mattersof duties.” | In 1842 the tariff of the Union was changed in a | manner quite unforeseen, and importations made on the faith of anterior legislation were oppress. | ed with exorbitantduties, which caused the ruin | of many honorable importers. Mr. Kaufman, in anable and clear review of the manufacturing interests of France, as well as of the Continent, | calls the attention of the French government to | the importance of recommending its agents and | merchants to impress upon the minds of foreign | authorities interested in the prosperity of their | countries, the importance of appointing to offices | as appraisers, persons well qualified by experi- | ence as judges of goods, as much for the interes; | of their revenue, as a protection for the honest | merchant against those who arm themselves with all kinds of certificates, which in reality, | such as consular certificates, only facilitate frauds; as it is well known American Consuls, like all others, are totally unacquainted with mer- | cbandise. This Mr. Kaufman insists upon as the | interest of all governments, of morality and of civi- lization; for the turpitude which is generated from | a laxity of principle with regard to custom-house | oaths is a curse to the present state of society. The arbitrary method of valuing merchandise | entered under the various tariff acts of the past | twenty years, has ever been a cause of much com- plaint. The appraisers in our custom houses have the power of regulating the rate of duty | upon different articles, almost independent of the act emanating from Congress, merely by the me- | thod of valuation. The Secretary of the Trea- sury never has used proper discrimination in ap. | pointing appraisers, as the personal interest or | party position of applicants for, or occupants of, | thes offics, have had more influence than quali, fieation. Under the operation of the ad valorem act there | is@ very great field for carrying on extensive | frauds in the valuation of foreign manufactures, | particularly those from France; and there is, former country never lost sight of the advantages that might accrue to herself by securing a firm al- lianse with Spain, a land which, although now debased and sunken by internal dissensions and ill-advised rulers, would, under control such as England would find for her, take her stand again | as @ great maritime and commercial nation; but the Coburg reputation for affording able hus- bands, although backed by the whole influence ofthe English cabinet and English agents, availed not against the shrewd policy of Louis Philipe, than whom a more wily politician never existed, not even excepting Cardinal Kichelieu. The French policy has succeeded; the Coburg candi- date is still in the matrimonial market, and other suiters lose sight of their own defeat in witnessing the defeat ot England. The Duc de Montpensier returns thanks for a brunette wife and a rich dowry. The Times newspaper overruns with threats of vengeance, and the ministerial organs of France throw off all disguises, talk of coalitions, and declare that all the continent of Europe, with the United States, ure the natural enemies of England. What will be the event of this new stir in the cauldron, is at present not very clear. What will rise to the top—what will remain at the bottom— and what will be thrown away as scum, is not yet to be foreseen; but, perhaps, our next advices will give us farther light. That there will be any war, for some years to come, we do ne, believe—at least, not so long as the King of France can, by his subtle policy, ward it | off; and though, with his usual foresight, he is prepared for banishment, dethronement, or death, still his whole course is one expressive of, and guaranteeing tranquillity; but in case old troubles should be revived —recrimination be followed with non-intercourse—and non intercourse with open hostilities—it would be difficult to say upon what side and what part of the world’s chess board different nations would be found. The French papers speak of a tri-union of strength by land and sea of the three great powers of France, Russia, and the United States; of course Spain would be with them. On the other hand, our own country has gradually been approaching, for years, nearer and nearer to England in friendly relations, and much ill feel- ing has arisen between her and France; and Rus- sia may for ence keep her pledges, and falling back upon the treaty of Utrecht, besides giving wayto her anti-Catholic predilections, be found | also arrayed against France. It would certainly be a great and strange revolution from the days ot Napoleon, were England and the United States to be found ranged against France and Spain. Perhaps another fifty years would see Spain and our country, under the stars and stripes, joined to the colors of Ferdinand and Isa- bella, warring against France and England. In-: deed, there is as much probability of the one as the other. The age is too far advanced for enlightened nations to militate against their own interests by the use of fire and sword among themselves. Safety valves are found for the escape of mil ary enthusiasm in foreign conquests. India, the I’a- cific Islands, Algiers, and Mexico, will draw b cod from the three great powers of the earth, s={li- cient toabate all pugilistic fevers. We shall look with interest over our files by tae next steamer, and such extracts as we find evincing the state of the public pulse, will be | transferred to our columns. ‘Theatrical. Panx Tueatae.—Notwithstanding the disegreeable- ness of the weather, the Park theatre was filled with a most respectable audience—nor is it surprising that the last two or three nights of a play so eminently superior in itself and its production, to almost any other ever put upon the American stage, should draw crowds of those who now wish to avail themselves of the last opportuni, ties they will have of witnessing it.
