TARIFF.
The Moniteur publishes the following report, ad-
dressed to the Icing by the Minister of Commerce:—
" Sire,—Some partial modifications in the Customs'
Tariff are demanded by Merchants and manufacturers.
". Several companies have been formed in different
states of South America for the purpose of monopolising
the trade and carriage of Peruvian bark. ,These combi-
nations, which must have the effect of increasing beyond
measure the price of that useful article, must be coml-
bated and neutralised as much as possible. With that
view, the tariff as respects Peruvian bark has been re-
vised and reduced, particularly f,r the article grown in
countries tituated beyond Cape Horn.
"The greatest part of the marble imported into France
is conveyed in foreign vessels. The navigation over-tax
is insufficient. We do not propose to augment it, but
we deem it necessary to reduce the import duty thereon
in our vessels. In this manner will the over tax on fo
reign flags increase proportionally and the tariff on mar-
ble will still sufficiently protect the interest engaged iu
that trade.

The proposed objects of the Metropolitan and Suburban Cemeteries
Society are as follow :
To provide sites for Burial, East, West, North, and South; of the
Metropolis.
To effect considerable reduction in the rate of charges., . •
To adopt a new principle of payment—a single charge being sub-
stituted for the customary fees.
To provide for the decent and respectable Burial of the Poorer
Population by a system of arrangement perfectly novel, including
buildings for the temporary reception, as welt ar for- the transit of
bodies. Negociations are now pending for thc purchase of several
exceedingly eligible sites, and one portion of 150 Acres has been
already secured.
The estimates show a large annual dividend when the Society shall
he in fall operation, until which period four per cent. interest will be
paid on the deposits and calls.
The Committee of Management are now vat, to receive applica-
tions for Shares, which. may be made to Messrs Bourdillon and

" Nitrate of soda and nitrate of potash pay two dif-
ferent duties, the heaviest of which affects nitrate of
potash. That difference has no real object. The two
productions are similar, and may, without inconvenience,
be subjected to a uniform duty, the scaleipf which would
remain gradeated according to the distance of the coun-
tries from which they are imported. Nitrate coming
from India and the Pacific Ocean will only pay in future
If. per 100 kilogrammes. In order to cause no derange-
ment amongst the holders of these articles, or the car-
goes shortly expected, the modification is only to take
place from the Ist of March, 1847.
" Several resinous productions of the western coast of
Africa, and, amongst others, copal gam and Demmer
resin, of which we ought to encourage the importation,
are subject to duties of 20 and 25 francs per quintal,
whilst those of India only pay 1 franc. In the interest
of our establishments, as also of our national industry,
it appears expedient to reduce the duty on'those resins
To—l-franc.

" Corsica can supply us with several quantities of
wrought anclsolished marblesrlind a certain quantity of
cast iron sleepers for railroads. It is but equitable and
useful to afford facilities for the importation of these
productions of our departments.
" Finally, the harbour of Rotten has waited this long
time for the privilege of receiving in her en:repot prohi-
bited goods, which would there be perfectly safe undir
the proper management of that establishment.
" We considered that these various measures, and a
few other minor ones, totally independent of the more
important questions now under investigation, might be
realised previous to the meeting of the Chambers, in
virtue of the powers vested in the Government by the
law of the 17th of December, 1814."

. .
All the modifications proposed by the Minister to the
King were sanctioned by a royal ordinance, to the fol-
lowing effect :
" Art. 1. The import duties on the annexed articles
will be established or modified as follows :

THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN OF LONDON.-
Last evening a public meeting was held at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, Strand, in support of the society
recently formed for assisting the distressed needlewomen
of London. Mr. Luke Hansard presided. Mr. Roper
explained the objects the society had in view, and in-
formed the meeting that the needlewomen of the metro-
polis were still in a most deplorable condition. The
registration office adopted by the society had proved
useful, and the plan of becoming security for materials
placed in the hands of poor but honest needlewomen had
been attended with the most beneficial results. Several
addresses were delivered, and some frightful cases of
destitution were mentioned. Eventually, resolutions
expressive of sympathy with the distressed needlewomen
of London were passed ; and others pledging the meet-
ing to support the society.
