VIENNA, Nov. 16.
The krmentation produced throughout the country
lthe reform, which is already undertaken, of the
ll tariff, is daily growing more vehement.. Oa the
whole, if curried through in the spirit with which it
has begun, this change will be a great boon to the
vut majority of the people, whose backward state as
regards comforts of every description is mainly trace-
able to the prohibitive system of commerce. Hen,'
as in Spain, a vast system of smuggling feeds the
country with a bad description of foreign articles at
exorbitant priors. Meanwhile the dolorous outcries
cf the vested interests make themselves heard as every
side. Here the ironmongers set up a wail ; there
the glass menoketurens groan. States of doge aid
inland questions in general are for the moment
quite drowned and forgotten in the universal alexia
which men feel at any movement which stirs the
growl upon which they grow their gains.
The committee for the revision of the customs
tariff have unanimously agreed to adopt the following
principles as the groundwork for their promediegs.
Their mission embraces the regulation of the import,
export, and transit tariff in traffic with foreign
countries, and of the extra fees. Tney are to
mettle whether any and what portions of the do-
minions are to be separated from the general
customs system, and to determine the relations by
which the customs of such portions are to be regu-
lated. In case the line of custom-houses on the Hun-
garian fronti-r should be preserved, they are to
regulate temporarily the reciprocal duties. The pre-
siding principle of the committee is to be the estab-
lishment of high protective duties, and the entire
abolition of the prohibitive system, both as regards
importation and exportation. The amount of the
protective duty is to be estimated according to the
principle of a perfectly adequate production of home
labour in its wicket sense. The establishment of an
average ad valorem amount of duty is not to be
admitted. The export dal on manufactures
is to be more a controlling duty, and exportation
is to be facilitated in the time and manner
of crossing the customs limo. The existing
prohibition to export certain raw materials is to be
replaced by high export duties. The system of dif-
ferential duties, according to the diversity of the
origin of the wares or bottoms in which they al e con-
veyed, and of bounties on exportation, is not to be ad-
, aided. Drawbacks are only to be allowed in ea-
, teems eases; but a scale of graduated duticoraccordiog
to ths various values of the same article, or accordirg
to the mode of transport facilitating its competition,
iosileimbis. In the rule weight is to be adapted as
the standard for the calculation of duty. - The number
of alleles exempted from duty will be considerable.
Objects of rural traffic and daily necessity, not mice-
la'ed to form the subject of an extensive trade, will be
among these. Export duties on colonial wares
and all articles of an undoubted foreign origin
are to be abolished. Numerous and minute
distinctions are to be avoided, sad a simple
elamillaition of duties mast .fewer beads to be
adopted. Where special Aistrian .btarests do not
interfere, as near u poesible an approximation to the
tariff of the German Zollvarain is to be aimed at.

The tariff so composed is to be subjected to reviskra
every three years, and at the same time with that of
the Zollversign tariff. In the course of the delibera-
tion, on each article, persons familiar with the subject
are to be examined. The chambers of commerce, in-
dustrial and agricultural ankles, are to be invited to
elect such as are fit to be ciansulted, the coramitte re-
serving to itself, however, the right of hearing where.
The committee has already began its operations, and
indeed with that part of the tariff which most urgently
needed reform in order to cheapen the material
conditions of production for native industry. The
;:raft of the tariff for iron wares, and all metallic
productions, as well as for porcelain, earthenware
and glass-warn has been already considered in per-
fect harmony with the suggestions of persons skilled
in the respective branches.
The iron s ocher. ars exceedingly dissatisfied that
anwrought iron is to be admitted at a duty of 50 per
cent., which they say is not enough to protect them
against English competition, for their iron coats 3
fl sins per «other, wilder iron in Glasgow only costs

BERLIN, Nov. 17.
The official Gazette contains a review of the exten-
sion and expenses of the Prussian railway sys•em in
comparison with other states of Germany and with
foreign countries. An extract from this report will
be interesting to your readers.
The extent of railway in the Prussian territories is
about 4401 miles German (equal to 2025 English
miles), of which 3221 miles were open for traffic) at
the end of 1848, and 118 miles in course of construc-
tion. The capital required amounts to about
169,700,000 dole., of which about 126,500,000 dolrhad
been expended at the end of 1848, kreving rather
more than 43,000,000 to be provided. To the
above there must be added the length of
the lines undertaken by Prussian companies in
territories not belonging to Prussia, which amount in
length to about 42; miles, with a capital of about 161
millions; so that the ntal number of miles amounts
to 482, and the capital to 1871 millions of dollars. Of
this sum 139,700,000 dollars have b.en subscribed for
by private companies in Pen sin; 129,500,000 have al-
ready been raised, and there remain therefore about
10,000,000 to call up. The Prussian state has sub•
scribed for about 431 millions, of which akin.
9,000,000 have bran spent, leaving 34,500,000 dollars.
leVeimarandOotha have subscribed for about 1,500,000
Meldenburg, Schwerin. and Hamburg, for
3,000,000. The Pritsratt government has moreover
guaranteed the payment of 31 per cent. Interest on
31,000,000 capital, and has given priority of interest
t, 11,000,000 of the capital.
In German Austria, at the end of 1848, there were
open for traffic about 148 miles of railway (700
English miles) and 54 miles (218 English miles) in
course of construction. These 200 miles of railway
require a capital of 81.000,000 dollars; of which the
Austrian Government hes subscribed for 55,000,000
dollar., and private companies for 29,000,000 dollars.
The remaining states of Germany have about 508
miles (2,337 English miles) of railway, the capital of
which amount to 199,000,003 dollars, for which
private societies have subscribed to the amount of
85,000,000 dollars. 336 miles (1545# English miles)
were open for traffic at the end of 1848.
The total length of all the railways in Germany
amounts, therefore, to 1,148 miles (5,280 English
miles), and the capital to 453,000,000 dollars, of
which 235,000,000 dollars have been subscribed for
the authorities, and 218,000,000 dollars by private
societies. At the end of 1848 the number of miles
open to traffic was 806, and the capital expended
about 350,000,000 dollars. The interest of Pruaaia,
Austria, &a., is as follows in the :

traffic. _ .

the above. Of the railways open for traffic at the
