ds.. the Tarim *Wens of an article to an average vales.
In a letter which aceomponise this statement, signed by Ur.
Thomas Lloyd, the chairmen, they say :—" It will be ob-
served that Boglasd completely carries oat her principles of

when manufacture of hardware is most trifling sad

In almost prohibiting the me of our =Z inn,
and tools to the Inhabitants? The table plsialy shows that
the ennui's etandiag most in need of the c'iv sof goods
manufactured in this district, such es Spain, Italy, Russia,
the Brazils, and Mezieo, are either the highest in their do-
nee or prohibitory. The Zoilverel• is a manufacturiag
eommunity ; bat they, as mall as Femme, would be greatly
benefited by admitting oar iron and other metals, soperioe
tool', and articles of household use, or for building par-
perms, upon liberal tern. France has lately shown a dis-
position to revise her tariff in iron and some few articles of
manufacture, but It is a very small instalment, and her
trade with the district would be very large and reciprocal
if her prohibitions were less. The great cause of complain
that is made against moat foreign countries is, not that the
rates of duty imposed ate high—with that we have little
right to interfere ; that is their policy for Weiss revenue, ea
we levy duties on mine, spirits, and tobacco—it is man
the modest charging, which in so many eases seems law
needy framed for the purpose of disenraging all fair trade
and emessireging mauling sad dishonesty ea the part of the
'Maids who have to ermine the goods and the parties nee
have to declare the value of the goods and their description.
Spain, Russia, Brazils, Austria, and most of the smeller
states, by plains detailed duties upon goods according Se
the clam and style of manufacture, leave to the caprice of
the officer sod the conscience of the importer to declare •
plus of cutlery cr article of branfoundery to be of °idi-
ot fine description; by thus attempting to clarify,
teeialeally and mloutely, articles of immense variety, the
honest trader is embarrassed, and the door is opened to the
invest fronds. It will be observed that in England, her
colonies, the 'United States, and Holland, whose trade in
bard goads it immeasurably greater then any of the other
countries, the tariff is perfectly simple, thereby facilitatleg
trade, and offering but small temptation to intuition
motion. This might be maid of Belgium, if complain had
an been made by some of oar merehants of cool& rabbi
nalties in the vezatious seizure of goods from the [gee-
Mee of their Nellie by Customs °Seam The natural re-
sale Is, that In those countries when the greatest restriction

the governments are defrauded for the benetl: of the smug-

ART GOSSIP.

THE ART•TBEABIIBEB

Nr. George

Scharf, jun , has been appointed Art-Seentary to the errma
mitts. of the Manchester Exhibition of Art-Treasures.
This is a jadiclous appointment, and will probably pavest
the recurrence of mistakes which we have notions' laths
descriptiou of works offend for selestion to the committact.
The committee have also just lased a circular informing
every artist of emblems§ in Great Britain that they drain
to offer, for the enjoyment of the public and the instruction
of the connoisseur and art student, as complete an illustra-
tion as possible of the British retools of painting end
sculpture. No effort, the committee observe, will be spared
to secure for the exhibition of 1867 the moat esteemed weeks
of deceased British artiste. Of the dead, however, they
cannot ask laminar ce, but they can seek it from the living.
and the committee therefore nine this circular, requesting;
the active cc-operation and advice of living English artiste.
With the tinnier is sent a printed form which the artist is
requested to fill op and return at his earliest convenient*.
In the third part of a new periodical publication entitled
Mosichutor Poor., there is an able article by Mr. Ham
menley, F.8.A., master of the Marehestor Schack
of Art, on write • Exhibition of Art -T of the
Milted Hiogdom.' Touching the arrangements for e
display of British art, Mr. Hammenley urges strenuously
the claims of British moisten, and asks for • Hall of
National Ilealptare. He says : " This is asked on many
grounds : ea the ground of the vast importance of
sculptors in a social, bat will more ia • natitaal, point of
v.sw ; and ea the pound that sculpture suntan to have
received hitherto the cold shoulder from those even whit
should have given it the most cordial coanteranee—even
from the Royal Academy itself." Mr. Hammerdey
strongly recommends also the historical classification of the
whole collection and its catalog's. He expresses a hope
Mao that the exhibition will contain an architectural
department, ieslediag not only drawings and nations, but
models of a suitable description • and he indicates the kind
of details, decorative and imtruittive, of which cats should
be collected. We have not beard of this subject having
