WOOL.

from various other quartets. In the private contract market
rather more busii.es3 is uc i g in English Wool, at full prices,
but foreign and colonial qualities are much neglected.
London, England, 1847-12-31

THE TARIFF.

The Act of the 80th of July, 1846, " reducing the
duties on imports," has been in force since the Ist of
December last ; and I am gratified to state that all
the beneficial effects which were anticipated from its
operation have been fully realised. The public re-
venue derived from customs during the year ending
on the Ist of December, 1847, e xceedijay more than
8,000,000 dollars the amount received in the preced-
ing under the operation of the Act of 1842, which
was superseded and repealed by it. Its effects are
visible in the great and almost unexampled prosperity
which prevails in every branch of business.
While the repeal of the prohibitory and restrictive
duties of the Act of 1842, and the substitution ill
their place of reasonable revenue rates levied on ar-
ticles imported; according to their actual value, has
increased the revenue and augmented our foreign
trade, all the great interests of the country have been
advanced and promoted.
London, England, 1847-12-31

A FURTHER LOAN.

To meet the expenditures for the remainder of the
present and for the next fiscal year, ending on the
30th of June, 1849, a further loan, in aid of the or-
dinary revenues of the Government, will be necessary.
Retaining a sufficient surplus in the Treasury, the
loan required for the remainder of the present fiscal
year will be about 18,500,000 dolls. If the duty on
tea and coffee be imposed, and the graduation of the
price of public lands shall be made at an early period
of your session, as recommended, the loan for the
present fiscal year may be reduced to 17,000,000 dolls.
The loan may be further reduced by whatever amount
of expenditures can be sated by military contribu-
tions collected in Mexico. The most vigorous mea-
sures for the augmentation of these contributions have
been directed, and a very considerable sum is ex•
pected from that source. Its amount cannot, how-
ever, be calculated with any certainty. It is recom-
mended that the loan to be made be authorised upon
the same terms, and for the same time, as that which
was authorised under the provisions of the Act of the
28th of January, 1847.
AN EXTRA LOAN I

Should the war with Mexico be continued until the
30th of June, 1849, it is estimated that a further loan
of 20,500,000 dolls. will be required for the fiscal
year ending on that day, in case no duty be imposed
on tea and coffee, and the public lands be not reduced
and graduated in price, and no military contributions
shall be collected in Mexico. If the duty on tea and
coffee be imposed, and the lands be reduced and gra-
duated in price, as proposed, the loan may be reduced
to seventeen millions of dollars, and will be subject to
be still further reduced by the amount of the militia:l
contributions which may be collected in Mexico. lt
is not proposed, however, at present, to ask Congress
for authority to negotiate this loan for the next fiscal
year, as it is hoped that the loan asked for the re-
mainder of the present fiscal year, aided by military
contributions which may be collected in Mexico, may
be sufficient. If, contrary to my expectation, there
should be a necessity for it, the fact will be commu-
nicated to Congress in time for their action during
the present session. In no event will a sum exceed-
ing oit millions of dollars of this amount be needed
before the meeting of the session of Congress in De-
cember, 1848.
London, England, 1847-12-31

CHINA.

I invite the early attention of Congress to the pre-
sent condition of our citizens in China. Under our
treaty with that power, American citizens are with-
drawn from the jurisdiction, whether civil or criminal,
of the Chinese Government, and placed under that of
our public functionaries in that country. By these
alone can our citizens be tried and punished for the
commission of any crime ; by these alone can ques
tions be decided between them, involving the rights
of person and property ; and by these alone can con-
tracts be enforced into which they may have entered
with the citizens or subjects of foreign powers. The
merchant vessels of the United States lying in the
waters of the five ports of China open to foreign
commerce are under the exclusive jurisdiction of
officers of their own Government. Until Congress
shall establish competent tribunals to try and punish
crimes, and to exercise jurisdiction in civil cases
in China, American citizens there are subject to
no law whatever. Crimes may be committed
with impunity, and debts may be contracted with-
out any means to enforce their payment. Inconve-
niences have already resulted from the omission of
Congress to legislate upon the subject, and still
greater are apprehended. The British authorities in
China have already complained that this Government
has not provided for the punishment of crimes, or the
enforcement of contracts against American citizens in
that country, whilst their Government has established
tribunals by which an American citizen can recover
debts due from British subjects.
Accustomed as the Chinese are to summary justice,
they could not be made to comprehend why criminals
who are citizens of the United States should escape
with impunity, in violation of treaty obligations,
whilst the punishment of a Chinese, who had com-
mitted any crime against an American citizen, would
be rigorously exacted. Indeed, the consequences
might be fatal to American citizens in China, should
a flagrant crime be committed by any one of them
upon a Chinese, and should trial and punishment not
follow according to the requisition of the treaty. This
might disturb, if not destroy, our friendly relations
with that empire, and cause an interruption of our
valuable commerce.
London, England, 1847-12-31

MEXICO-THE WAR.

In the enjoyment of the bounties of Providence at
home, such as have rarely fallen to the lot of any
people, it is cause of congratulation, that our inter-
course with all the Powers of the earth, except
Mexico, continues to be of an amicable character.
It has been our cherished policy to cultivate peace
and goodwill with all nations; and this policy has
been steadily pursued by me.
No change has taken place in our relations with
Mexico since the adjournment of the last Congress.
The war in which the United States were forced to
engage with the Government of that country still
continues.
I deem it unnecessary, after the full exposition of
them contained in my message of the 11th of May,
1846, and in my annual message at the commence
ment of the session of Congress in December last, to
reiterate the serious causes of complaint which we had
against Mexico before she commenood ho.tilitivs.
London, England, 1847-12-31

PERU.

It is proper to inform you that the Government of
Peru has in good faith paid the first two instalments
of the indemnity of 30,000 dollars each, and the
greater portion of the interest due thereon, in execu-
tion of the convention between that Governme-t
and the United States, the ratifications of which were
exchanged at Lima on the 31st of October, 1846.
The Attorney-General of the United States, early in
August last, completed the adjudication of the claims
under this convention, and made his report thereon in
pursuance of the Act of the Bth of August, 1846. The
sums to which the claimants are respectively entitled
will be paid on demand at the Treasury.

Gulf to its intersection with the southern boundary
of New Mexico, in north latitude about 32 degrees,
and to obtain a cession to the United States of the
provinces of New Mexico and the Californias, and the
privilege of the right of way across the isthmus of
Tehuantepec. The boundary of the Rio Grande,
and the cession to the United States of New Mexico
and Upper California, constituted an ultimatum,
which our Commissioner was, under no circumstances,
to yield.
That it might be manifested not only to Mexico,
but to all other nations, that the United States were
not disposed to take advantage of a feeble power by
insisting upon wresting from ber all the other pro-
vinces, including many of her principal towns and
cities, which we had conquered and held in our mili-
tary occupation, but were willing to conclude a treaty
in a spirit of liberality, our Commissioner was autho-
rised to stipulate for the restoration to Mexico of all
our other conquests.
As the territory to be acquired by the boundary
proposed might be estimated to be of greater value
than a fair equivalent for our just demands, our Com-
missioner was authorised to stipulate for the payment
of such additional pecuniary consideration as was
deemed reasonable.

ACCEPTABLE PRESENTS.
The present season is hallowed by one of the most delightful
offin es of friendship and affection ; the interchange of gifts, as re-
membrances of the denors, and tokens of their esteem for the re-
ceivers. While large sums are expended upon the most costly trifles,
no more appropriate present can be made at th:s season of the year
than a paekage of ItvWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, KALTDOR, and
ODONTO, combining, as these articles do, the most sterling utility
with elegance and luxury.
The august patronage cenceded by our gracious Queen, the Royal
Family, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, together
with the confirmation by experience of the infallible efficacy of these
creative and renovating specifics, have characterised them with per-
fection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled.
Beware of Spurious Imitations—Scale are offered under the im-
plied sanction of Royalty, and the Government Departments, with
similar attempts at deception. The only genuine " MACASSAR
OIL," " ICALYDOR," and " ODONTO," are " ROWLANDS' " and
the Wrapper of each bears the name of " ROWLANDS' " preceding
that of the Article, with their Signature at the foot, in Red ink, thus

MEXICO-THE WAR.

In the enjoyment of the bounties of Providence ic
home, such as have rarely fallen to the lot of
people, it is cause of congratulation, that our inter-
course with all the Powers of the earth, except
Mexico, continues to be of an amicable character.
It has been our cherished policy to cultivate peace
and goodwill with all nations; and this policy has
been steadily pursued by me.
No change has taken place in our relations with
Mexico since the adjournment of the last Congress.
The war in which the United States were forced to
engage with the Government of that country still
continues.

I deem it unnecessary, after the full exposition of
them contained in my message of the 11th of May,
1246, and in my annual message at the commence
meet of the session of Congress in December last, to
reiterate the serious causes of complaint which we had
against Mexico before she commenced hostilities.

SEGRET MALADIES.
Treatment of CH. ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
national rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris.
Ninnberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incarable by the Faculty, and which In a short time
hare given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for
a long rerici et time a desideratum to dircover a mode of cure
adapted te all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
fal effects of mercury. We are new arrived t: the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree ef exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
er of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, 16
economical and easy, either at home er on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons
and in all climates.

AGRICULTURE.

The great and important interests of agriculture,
which had been not only too much neglected, but
actually taxed under the protective policy, for the
benefit of other interests, have been relieved of the
burdens which that policy imposed on them; and our
farmers and planters, under a more just and liberal
commercial policy, are finding new and profitable
markets abroad for their augmented products.
Our commerce is rapidly increasing, and is extend..
ing snore widely the circle of international ex-
changes. Great as has been the increase of our im-
ports during the past year, our exports of domestic
products sold in foreign markets have been still
greater.

HAMMERSMITH.

EXTRAORDINARY CASH. - A Portuguese, who
gave the name of Manuel de Sa Pemental, apparently
about 50 years of age, was charged with having used
certain threats and menaces against Mr. Henry
William Robinson, of 9, Chesham-street, Belgeave.
square, whereby he goes in fear of his life.
From the statement of the complainant it appears
that the defendant followed him from street to street,
under the delusion that he was a person who had
conspired against him. The defendant's mind is
seemingly affected by a most extraordinary delusion.
It seems that when the Spanish troops were in
Portugal some of them were quartered in his house,
some property he had was made off with, since
which time he had been labouring under the delusion
that a conspiracy was on foot against him.
Mr. Christopher Surry, a highly respectable builder
at Brompton, said he had known the defendant for
the last twenty-five years. He was brought over to
this country by M. de Silva, the wine merchant, of
Oporto, with whom be lived up to tnat gentleman's
death. He then became butler to Mr. Hopkinson,
the banker, in whose service he amassed
i some pro-
perty, and he had buried the whole of t at Oporto
before he came away. He had no doubt but that the
soldiers having taken possession of his property had
operated on his mind.
After a lengthened private conversation between
Mr. Fuller, the solicitor, and the magistrate, it was
arranged that Mr. Surry and the defendant should
enter into securities for his good behaviour for two
months, and that he should return as speedily as pos-
sible to Portugal. He was then liberated.

The enthronement of the new Bishop of Munster
took place at that ancient city on the 22d instant, with
great ceremony.
