In 1845, the value of exports to the United States féll offin value nearly eight hundred thousand | pounds sterling—equal to four millions of dollars. This was, no doubt, caused by the agitation of the tariff question in this country, which, at the close of 1845, be- | gan to produce some considerable excitement. When this question was settled by the passoge of the ad valo” rem tariff act, in July, 1846, it was considered by the commercial Classes as being disposed of, at least for tho , term of the present administration. In that they have been disappointed, as there has beens continual tinker- ing upon this measure ever since the present term com- monced. It ia a very extraordinary thing that this measure cannot be permanently disposed of ‘The eal- culations and arrangements of our morehents are de- ranged, from time to time, and serious losses realized, by the frequent changes propored by the go- It does net matter so much. what the peculiarity’ of these lows may be, so long as they remain permanent.
