A question of diffeulty was, whether the rate of 40 per cent iid not be maintained om manufactured and adul- ‘terated wines, and whether silks and some other sump- twary articles should not be added to that schedule. pte pay reflection, I am fully satisfied that tho Je of 40 per cent should have keep- ta dahl free, and adding to it ‘3 of ‘kinds, laces of all kinds, millinery of all kinds, and other Dla ivgroee 2 articles; and I now recommend that, in sevieieg. pipe iff, such @ schedule, specifying the arti- table 12, whish accompanies this Sat oi exhibits ‘the articles manufactured in the United tes, which have formed a part of our ex; for the years 1846, 1847, 1848, 1849, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853 and 1854.

SMALL. WNSEND i, Ksq., 519 North Seventh street, be- rr. ith, like a sensible man, we are informed, has taken no notice of the correspondence, further than to show it toa few curious friends, regarding it as silly and ridiculous in the extreme. ‘The immediate cause of the foolieh correspondence of Dr. Henley and his friends, itis alleged, grew out of the dismissal of the doctor from the lunatic department of the almshouse last , by virtue of « resolution peed by the former |, abolishing the office which filled, and a recent altercation between Dr. H. and Mr. Smith, The resolution referred to, Mr. Smith advecated. at the election in June last, was elected jwardian of the Poor frum the Fifteenth ward, and low Mr. m the tion of the Board in July, it was vered that best feeling did not exist between the two members. This manifested itself when the sta: committees for the year were announced by the Presi- dent. Dr, “4 having been appointed on the Hos- ital and Lunatie Asylum Committes—two of the most important recognized by the Board—Mr. Smith objected tothe a) mye os as ileioy sary taegtane dol unpre ted to oung members on two such im- ortant committecs, amd expressed his opposition rather lyin and out of the Board. Several weeks aubse- gently an unfortunate occurrence took place in the lospital Committee room, when Smith and Henley were again brought in contact with each other, and sharp words followed, the particulars of which we are not ap- prised of. At the meeting on Monday last a resolution was adopted to go into an election for an additional visiter of poor for the Fifth district, composed of the Thir- teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards, Mr. Smith nominated Lewis D. Key ind Dr. Henley nominated Bernard McGinley. eyser was elected. After the meeting, Dr. Henley chi Smith with prevarication and the committal of a dishonorable act, in making a nomination after he bad promised not ‘to do so. Mr. Smith denied the charges, when Dr. Henloy called him a liar, and Smith struck Henley over the noso with his hand or fist. As soon as the blow was struck some of the members iuterfered and separated them; but the belligerents again met in the entry, where a general quarrel ensued, rosulting in harsh words, and a second blow on the nasal organ of the Doctor. From what we can learn, the above is about the his- tory of the difficulty between Dr. Henley and Mr. Town- send Smith. ‘the indications are that this affair will end as did the first—in nothing. Mr. Smith, it 1s said, w Il take no notice of the letter addressed to him, aud it is not unlikely the econd Brigade twill be relieved from shooting an unoffending citizen, or run the risk of being fired upon. As it is, the surgeon will doubtless have to rest satisfied with hin wounded honor, or resort to som» other means for satisfaction. Mr. Smith ts a law-abiding citizen, and opposed to incurzing the penalty of the law for the sake of notoriety. 5 ASSESSMENT OF THE Frust Distarcr or New OxLEaNs.—We are indebted to the Assessor, saya the Now Orleans Picayune of tho 26th ult., for the subjoined ab- stract of the assessment of the First district, (Secomd Municipality,) parish of Orleans, for 1854, after objec- tions and corrections have been made.

Yielding to the desire of your Excellency to have such observations as may be useful on a subject as important aa it is dificult and delieate, I have only to express the entire conformity of my own opinion with every portion of the decree, which, in my concep- tion, reconciles the action of the government with the security and confidence of proprietors, Agreeable to the 16th article of the decree, the supreme authority renounces every participation that it could claim ac- cording to the ordinance, of prizes of 1779, and the royal order of the 17th September, 1838—the ship or ships which make the capture being the sole sharers. ThisI consider will disembarrass the action of the government, and will prevent any mal-interpretation being given to it. The situation of the captors will be a more advan’ one than fermortr, though I can assure your exce! OD the part of the officers and men of the squadron, that this stimulus is unnecessary to urge them to the per- formance of their duty. In relation to the case Ya vided tor in article 45, it appears that the distribu among the captors will be subject to the above mentioned ordinance of 1779. All that I can say to yourexcellency in reply to your letter, is, that I shall use my bike endeavors to ensure the provisions of the decree carried out. JOSE M.

D. Mr. Fay and the American Letter to the Swiss. ‘We clip the following from the London Morning Adver- tiser’s Paris correspondence:— Mr. Sanders, the American Consal in England, has just been severely snubbed by his diplomatic seperiors, You may remember Mr, Sanders’ letter to the goveen- ment of the Swiss Confederation, in which he expresavd lis extreme disapprobation of the conduct pursued by the Helvetic government in truckling to the neighboring despot of Austria, at whose orders or instigation it had descended to persecute the forcign refugees who had sought for shelter in the land of Tell and Hofer. There were many persona who fully concurred in the justice of Mr. Sanders’ animadversiona, but few in the propriety of their emanating from a gentleman who was investe:! with some official authority. The Ameriean governinent has gone, , Still further; it has ordered Mr. Fay, its representative at Berne, to declare officially to the Federal Council its absolute disavowal of Mr. Sanders’ letter, and its entire ‘disapproval of the observations | which he had permitted bimvelf to make to the Swise qorenenent, ‘There was actually nething inappropriate Mr. Sanders’ letter; but his strictures on the inter- national relations of Switzerland with other countries, were scarcely of a nature to call down upon him the sharp rebuke thus administered to him by bis govern- ment. & Mr. Fay, who has been an admifing follower of aristoc- racy at the Prussian court for a good many years back, during which time his highest ambition was to have it | unsuspected that he was an American, at last found him- self, by the consistent action of the present administra- tion, a minister (supposed republican) to a government, also supposed republican. The two accorded very well. ‘The present Swiss administration, against which as over- whelming a popular reproef has recently been given as has been administered in America to our own, being the creature of Austria, while the Pierce and Marcy minister is the proud pupil of Prussia. Even the conservative English press fully endorsed the principle of the Swiss letter, and Mr, Sanders’ right as an American citizen, to express his opinion upon Euro- pean affairs, “It is,” said the Zimes, ‘what every Foglishman claims to do, and does every day, through our celumns.’? The liberal press everywhere of course received it with enthusiasm. What might have been its effect if events bad run differently, ii is not now worth while to ask. The close of tho present yenc is pregnant with disaster to the dynasties of Europe. Every expres- sion of republican feeling fromjan American is hailed, therefore, not only with joy but with hope, wherever the people's press dare rpeak. Mr. Sandera will probably not shed many tears that the administration las so emphatically shown its hand in this matter as to prevent any new statement of its views on tho European question hereafter. People in Europe are not blind to what is going on in America, and know exactly how to estimate both Gen. Pierce's proii- ses and his principles. Mr. Fay was so utterly asleep in Berne that the name of the American Minister was unknown in Switzerland, en whether there was one, till the republican letter orge Fanders on the anti-repub! c in the application of the fruit of his genius to the first versel which demonstrated its great utility to the mercial world, fur which he has not yet been reimburse ', but probably will not have to wait, as is too often the cass, until the tomb divides him from the living, for the jus- tice his due. The son evidently had the enterprise and industry of the parent, with an intelligence devoted to scientific attainment, which, with experfence, would have been for industrial and scientific advancement, and the establishment of a high reputation for himself.
