Notwithstanding the modification of the English tariff laws, the low price of Ameri- can produce in this country, and the rising prices in England, the exports from New York of the principal articles of agriculture, flour, lard, pork, wheat, &c., have fallen off, considerably below those of last year. The New Y York Herald in summing up the req son of this, says:

 Notwithstanding the enormous supply of four, being thirty-fve per cent greater than ever before, and the exceeding low rates at which 1t is held, less has been exported this year than last. The same applies to corn, pork, oil, lard, &c. The reason of this is to be found in the fact, that under the present tariff little else than specie can be received for exports. During the last year some $20,000,000 of the precious metals have been extracted from Europe, and Sl2,- 100000 of the amount is lying utterly use less in the vaults of the New Y fork banks. The people of England having the proceeds of their industry, on hand, and in want of American produce, cannot procure the latter because the United Statas tariff forblds the introduction of their goods into this country, consequently they can buy nothing of the United States without specie, they therefore buy as little as possible. When they want agricultural produce, they seek 1t where they can obtain it in payment of their own goods. When every other door is closed to their wants, they come to the United States with specie to make purchases, and not before Hence, if our farmers pile their produce up- on the Atlantic border until 1t IS as high as the Alleghany mountains, Europe will not buy Ii unless she can get 1t on favorable terms. If her merchandise is freely admitted in exchange, the feeding of 26,000,000 souls who inhabt the British isles, will be given to our western farmers. The operation of our present law. is to substitute for this vast and actual market, the supposition that, if no fo- reign manufactures are imported, the 250, ,000 persons engaged in that business will eat more than the whole British population In Europe 1t IS calculated that one agriculturist feeds fourpersons in other employments. In this country there are three agriculturists to one of other employments, and the advo- cates of protection pretend to enrich the coun- try, by confning the market of the three far mers to the wants of one person. The far mers cannot be so blind as not to perceive that if all their produce is retained at home for the supply of the manufactures here, that the price of produce must be very low, and manufactures very high; that one days work of the manufacturer will produce sufficient tc purchase the results of four days work o the farmer. Therefore, the former mus grow enormously rich, and the latter wretch edly poor, as is now the case in England where the master manufacturers and nobil- ity are richer than those of any other nation on the earth, while the mass of the people is far poorer"
