no distrust, business in all its ordinary departments being

stitution of specific for ad 'valorem duties wherever practi-
cable, and which had been brought forward by the Protec-
tionists with the view of opening up the tariff question, had
been rejected by 108 to CO. There was nothing later from
California. The Spanish Consul, who was forced to fly from
New Orleans at the time of the excitement about Cuba, had
resumed his post, official honours being. paid him upon the
occasion. The latest advices from Mexico were to the 24th
of January, but they contain nothing of importance.
