By the new Tariff Bill j th 4 Jana
have pronounced all the enconaaims likherir3 pas ied
on the commercial greatness of their country to
have been totally erroneous. Instead of a land,
where, owing to the fertility of the soil, and the
mighty facilities of water transit, it was possible
for the immigrant to produce in abundance food
not only for his sustenance, but for 'the wants-of
foreigners whom he might thus lay under tribUte
for all that their manufacturing skill and capital
-Could supply, it is now shown to be a region where
the inhabitants must, when they have laboured to

,brfuz, to its shores for the en-
joyment of its people, and it is in this respect that
Great Britain occupies the highest place, while
America, if the plans of her rulers can be supposed
capable of fulfilment, is destined henceforth to oa-
cupy the lowest. Of course,' however, it is plain.
to every one that the insanityoand ignorance now.
displayed will bring its own cure. A community,
like individuals, may legislate or plot contrivances
for evil to others, but the results in the morel
government of the world can merely be g00d,.:
to others and evil, to themselves. The American
theory can scarcely .be stated except in sentences
that sound like - lunacy. • They imagine that,
_ _ .

I although the country has always been short of
labour, they can now direct two-thirds of their in-
dustry to mills, forges, or other manufactories,
and yet continue to raise the same amount of grain
and other provisions that they succeeded in produc-
ing before their labour was so diverted. And this
result is to be achieved, not by any sudden disco-
very of labour-saving materials, but simultaneously
with a tariff and a currency which impose an
enormous ackitional cost upon every instrument of
husbandry they may require, ma well as upon the
charge for the capital employed. Moreover, the
wheat and provisions so produced are still to find a
profitable sale in foreign markets, although the
freight on their exportation must be doubled, be-
cause if America is to import nothing but gold in
return, the vessels that carry on her trade must sail
to her ports in ballast. This is a simple and literal
description of the aspirations of her statesmen and
the belief of her people, and it is in such a manner
that, according to the words of their most popular
journal, they are to inaugurate a commercial revo-
lution which will result in impoverishing Europe
and enriching themselves." A country in such a.
state of intoxication presents the most painful spec-
tacle ever yet obtruded upon other coulmunities,
possessed of a sense of human dignity, and the only
relief to the picture lies in the contemplation
that the agonising symptoms of returning sober-
ness are likely to be speedy and sharp, in propor
tion to the occasion. A prohibition of the export of
specie is all that is wanted to complete the vertigo
of wild conceit by destroying even the last vestige
of credit from abroad. While goods are being
smuggled in, the gold in payment for them will be
smuggled out, and the United States will then not
have a single transaction with the outside world,
except through the corrupting agency of whole
armies of contrabandists. That this trade, however,
will be sufficient to drain her of every coin she pos-
sesses, and to bring her " demand notes" to the
level of assiguats is not to be doubted. Already,
by the practices of General Butler, her civil war in
its military features has been made to rival the
worst chapters of the French Revolution, and, as
matters are now going on, its financial results also
promise to harmonise with those of that period.

Extract from the " Official Catalogue of the In-
ternational London Exhibition of 1862"—" Boyer, solo
manufacturer of the can de melisse des Cannes, No. 14, rue
Taranne, Paris :"—The centennial repute of the eau de
melissa des Cannes has given rise to a host of imitations of
this beneficial cordial. The monks who prepared it never
revealed the secret of its composition, and M. Boyer, their
successor, Ly authentic documents, now alone possesses the
original receipt. All the compounds which ate sold under
this denomination may have the melissa plant for a basis,
but this balm is only one of the elements of which the
genuine Carmelite water of Melissa is composed ; most of
the other ingredients, and these the most essential, depend
on his making up, this being the exclusive secret of
Boyer, who never confides its composition to any other
hands than his own. If we are to believe a very popular
legend, and one that passes as probable, from the most
serious researches of medical and pharmaceutical science,
the Carmelite water must have had its origin in
the early
history of the Gauls ; and the Carmelites, who freely g3vo
themselves out both as the disciples of the prophet Elijah
and the descendants of the ancient Druids, might have in
a direct manner inherited from the latter the secret of
its composition. What is most positive is, that for more
than two centuries the use of this cordial balm is not
only popular in the highest degree, but chat all the trea-
tises on medical science and all professional men have ac-
knowledged and proclaimed its tonic, anti-spasmodic, and
anti-apoplectic qualities. Royal letters patent had, until
1789, maintained its property and exclusive management,
as belonging to the Barefooted Carmelites of the rue de
Vaugirard, grounding, on every occasion, the decision ar-
rived at by the King in council on the report of the Royal
Commission of Medicine, which the Carmelite water of Me-
lissa was by its properties rendered incomparably superior
to those composed according to the pharmacopoeia,and that
its utility was fully proved. When the Revolution took
possession of the convent in the rue de Vaugirard, the
monks who survived their order purchased of the State the
exclusive privilege of working out this most precious cor-
dial-balm, constituted themselves as a secular and commer-
cial company, and so established themselves at No. 14
Taranne, where the last of them died in 1831, after havingrue
transmitted all his rights to the predecessor of M Boyer,
who is now become sole proprietor Tid.

" The success a
Carmelite water is the best proof that can be given of its
efficacy in a great number of ailments. A produce the use
of which is continually augmenting for upwards of two cen-
turies must produce undoubted utility; and, in fact, in how
many cases has it not been eroployed as a tonic and anti-
spasmodic? In difficult digestions, in disorders of the
stomach, in nervous complaints, in weaknesses from various
causes and kinds, the Carmelite water of Melissa succeeds
perfectly well. It is not a medicine, and yet it effects as
much good as the best of those dispensed as such. On this
account it would be justly entitled to be recommended,even'
if time had not consecrated its use." Purchasers should
pay the strictest attention to the stamp and signature, both
Pon the boxes and the bottles, in order to ba assured of their
being genuine, and as coming from the laboratory of M.
Boyer, of 14, rue Taranne, Paris. Depot in London'at Mr.

LOCH TAY SALMON FISHING.— The salmon
fishing in Loch Tay has continued pretty successful during
the past week, ad the fish caught were large, plump, and
in fine condition generally. On Saturday, two gentlemen
succeedei in landing seven salmon which weighed alto-
gether 751 b., and other anglers the last few days enjoyed
good sport. The weather has been highly favourable and
the water in fine ply for angling the last ten days, both on
the loch and neighbouring trouting streams.—Scotsman.
PATIENCE AND OBsTINACY.—In a lane Where it
was impossible for two vehicles to pass, a Quaker in Ilia
gig confronted an obstinate fellow in a cart. The Quaker
mildly declined to back his horse—the obstinate fellow
swore he would not. After an hour or so of ineffectual
discussion, the man in the cart thought to crush the
Quaker into submission by taking out a newspaper and
it. "Friend,,' said
calmly perusingthe Quaker, "
thou bast finished the paper, I trust thou wilt lend it to
me." The man was beaten, and backed 1 •
horse without
more ado.
