The New TARIFF.--Mr. Mckay, from
the Committee on Ways and Means, re-
ported, on the 18th inst, the proposed new
tariff bill 1t differs from The present one
IN two particulars. First, it greatly re-
duces the duties on imports; and second
y 1t abolIshes all specific duties, aud d.
reefs that on articles enumerated, a GER
tam per centage on their value should be
collected, varying from IS to ) per centum.


vi the merits of the bill it IS not our
purpose to speak; we owe it to our readers,
however to give them some idea of It's pro-
mInent features.


Isl. A duty Of rs per cent. ad raL Is
levied on all brandy and other distilled IL
quors.


ID. A duty Of 30 per cent. on nearly
every article manufactured of cotton. wool,
wood, glass, metal Of all kinds, marble,
stone, hair, etc, etc. wines. fruit, sugars,
syrup, etc. etc.

manufactures Of wool, silk, worsled, cord
/ age, cotton, lace, buttons, etc.

variety of articles, Commencing with acid,
passing through ale, beer, porter in casks,
touching asaIRlida, barley, beef, and ua-
nanas and beeswax, taking up bitter apples,
barlls, flowers, cotton shirts, ga,nboge, H.
I qaorlce and floor mating, embracing aboIl
800 arllcIes--concIudng with wooden list
ings, and yarn.

which, tea, coffee, aamals Tor breed, seed.
of all kinds, gold, silver, cotton, etc, etc.

first day Of December next.


Had we room, we would like % puj.Is:
the whole bill, but we are compelled c,
withhold it, The principle Of the bill
however, as our readers will perceive,
entirely different from that on winch lh'
present tariff IS based. The idea %. d" pro
tec:on" appears 10 be entirely omitted
and the highest duties are laid upna ariI
cles of luxury, which are not, 10 any eX
tent, manufactured in this country
Whether, IS a revenue bill, It viii NEE
+ the expectations Of its trainers, can oni
be determined by time. ~ o. DcLfa,
