Messrs, Winthrop, George Ashmun; angl other gentlemen were preseut at the pleasant interview. Some of the newspapers in printing Mr. Peabody’s Jate letters, have unintentionally omitted the words “Southern and,” the letter stating that the income of his gift is to be applied for the promotion and encour- agement of education, &e., among the young of the more destitute of the Southern and Sonth-Western States. The Committee of Ways and Means will probably to-morrow report the amendatory Internal tax bill. It is based on the theory of getting rid of the general tax on manufactures at the earliest possible moment, but the wants of the Government this year will not permit it to be done at once. Henee the principle is to be gradual in its operation. To partially carry out tl‘ hject, the Committee propose to exempt from &% all articles which enter largely into the cost of Jiving, for instance, salt, leather and tin, carthen, and hollow ware are all exempted, asare also Toes, rakes, scales, all steam and horse engines, all drain, gas or water pipes of iron, wood or other ma- terial, . All clothing made upon articles subjeet to tax, drawers and shirts, and other such articles woven or knit are not, however, exempt from tax, in cases wherea tax has not beenpaid on the raw material, Advertisements are to be relioved from the tax. Many manufactures which are now taxed two per cent, are to Dbe free from tax. Among these are all glue and varnish, and all wagons, drays and trucks, costing less than $200, used for freighting purposes. Patter and cheese are to Do free from tax. A section is added to avoid a duplication of taxes; so that where there is a tax on the raw material, there shall not be another tax on the manufactured article in its various forms. The tax is to beon the raw material or on the manufac- tured axticle. A large number of articles are to be ex- empt from tax, becanse the expense of ¢ Ileetion is not t to the receipts there The bill also other ways to reduce the labors duties of the Internal Revenne -boxes, equivaler proposes in this'a of Ass Burcan, The tax is to be rewoved from matcl bat the stamp is to be. attached for the matches. s, or hottles are also exempted ¢ their contents are taxed, The Committee pro- » addition to dry casks aud barrels, to exempt all other ¢ bLairels or other cooperage, meat and fish barrelsand easks. aing as now provided by law..
