The .amerjcon 1ar6.-It appears

 from the following paragraph, which

 we extract from an American newspa-

 per, that the heavy duties on woollen cloths have given rise to a.mode of eva sion which we think very few people

 would have dreamed of:-ss In regard

 to theetendency of the high duty sys-

 tenn to lead to smuggling, we shall re- cord 9 simple fact, which has been late

 ly communicatedto us. It is this. An agent from the house of Q London tail

 or, has been recently travelling thro' this country, for.the purpose of procur-

 ing orders for London made clothes. lie shows that under the present rates of duty, upon cloth and ready-made clothingy atpersen in this country can import suit ofelothes, in the regular

 way, at less price than that which he

 can procure them made up in this coun- try ofthe same quality, and he has suc- Iceeded in obtaining a considerable num-

 Der of orders. But this is not all. He gives the customer the option of receiY-

 ing the clothes at one of our Atlantic cities, or at sNontreql; and it is a fact, that amongst the orders received by him, during late visit to this city, several suits were engaged, deliverable in Mon

 treal next July or August, at the sea- son when so many of our citizens take

 a trip to Canada. Now who cannot

 foresee the consequences of longer perseverance in the present high duties? l?

 The nation will become a nation of !smugglers. The rich, who can afford

 to travel about during the summer-to visit the Falls of Niagara-to take the

 Northern Tour to Montreal and Que

 bee, will be able to evade the duties

 upon all their.own clothing, whilst the

 poor and working man, farm or his

 workshop,is obliged to pay from 45to 20 per.ct. duty on all his old clothes without the chance of escaping from a isingie tt. oif this exaclion whose whole

 range 'ofenloymentis limited to his. It is susceptible of proof, that all the ex- Ipenses of trip to Montreal from New

 York, can be saved by any one, who is Iable to buy a couple of suits of clothes

 ata time; and why should not expedi- tlons hereafter be entered upon, not for lthe purpose ofspending money, but for the purpose of making iitif'' it 1t certainly

 will be a strange consumption of the

 American schemes for encouraging do- rnestle industry, if, instead of finding employment for the woollen manufac,

 turers. they should throw all the taiIors cut of work.-Juanchester G,sardiq,s,
