'TnE DUTY on SALr.-A correspondent
of the New York Journal or Commerce,
makes the following interesting state.
ments AS to tho effect of the oppressive
duties on salt, proposed in the tarif bii.


Every merchant who has exported
provisions from this country, can bear
witness that the mode Of curing. and tho
bad quality OF the pickle used, have been
almost invariably complained OF abroad;
and that in every part Of Europe. aud
even South Amcricr, beef and pork put
up in Hamburger will command higher
prices than tho same articles cured in tho
United States, chiefly from the supnriori-
~ oil tho curing, and independently ut
the quality OF tho meat. Now, it is IL
very suspicious circumstance, tha, ,ho
only salt used in Hanburgh for caring,
provisions, is that Of st. Ubns, Ca,liz, AMI
other PAGES OF the sou,l, o, Europe, pro.
duced by evaporation ON the sea coast.


IN all advertisement Of the Navy Cora
aiS>ioncrs. for a supply Of beci and pork
Tor the Navy, dated Washing on, o.5,h
juno, lS42, is the following:

Let US pray that tho Agriculturalis.
may be kindly permitted to use that dies.
crip,ion Of salt hich he may find by ex.
perence will best answer his purpose;
and that should he tind il necessary to
use the foreign article. it may not bo bur-
