There are no arrivals to-day with late news of interest
from any quarter, except the usual continental mails.
The disposition of the Zollyerein States to carry the
exclusive principle further may be presumed to have
been in no way checked by the rejection of the really liberal
offer made on their behalf, a short time since, to the Govern-
ment of the United States, the extent of which may be
understood by the following extract of a New York com-
munication recently come to hand .
"By this we see that the Customs Union sacrifice 45,540
dollars more of revenue on tobacco imported from the United
States, than we do on our total importations of their manu-
factures. Our exports to the Customs Union are nearly
twice the value of our imports, and the reduced duties on
merchandise received from this country must nett a loan of ,
revenue greatly exceeding ours. Several agents have
been sent to Europe, at a great expense, for the ex-
press
purpose of opening markets for our great staple,
tobacco, and to prevail upon the different Govern-
ments to admit it at reduced rates of duties. Our
Minister to Austria, 3lr. Wheaton, with the aid of these
agents, had actually succeeded, after a great deal of negotils-
tion, in perfecting a treaty of reciprocity, which our Go-
vernment refuses to ratify. The treaty was disposed of in our
Senate very summarily, and in a. manner that reflects but
little credit upon those intrusted with the regulation of our
foreign trade.We had it in our power to open an immense trade
with the Zollverain, which represents 27 millions of people.
The Germans are tired of the monopoly so long enjoyed by
the manufacturers of Great Britain, and would gladly take
our manufactures of cotton twist, yarn, &c., to an immense
amount, provided we took a fair quantity of their manufac-
tures. The manufacturers of this country, through the acts of
their high tariff senators, have lost an immense market for
their goods, who by their adherence to the most short-sighted
policy have refused to accept a treaty that would do more
to extend and build up our domestic manufactures than all
the tariffs ever conceived or adopted. Our legislators do
not see the future effect of any great measure ; their mental
vision does not extend beyond the limits of their individual
profession, and every future advantage is sacrificed to the
present object, viz., political popularity. Racidial tariffites
would not give up a tittle of their "hobby, even though the
object for which they are aiming could be obtained more
speedily by so doing. They believe that nothing in the
world but a high protective 'tariff will ever permanently
establish our manufactures."

Rather a large business continues to be transacted in the
public securities, and although there is a fuller supply of
stock than for some time past, the general public comes in
steadily to make small purchases. At present the quotations
are rather flat. Consols realise 991 to 991 for Money and
Account. Exchequer Bills are 755. to 775. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 101 i to 101 i ;
the Reduced 1021 to 1021; and the Three per Cents. 991
to par. Bank Stock is 200 to 2001
