THE NEW TARIFF.

Jose Joaquim de Herrera, General of Division and Presi-
dent of the Mexican Republic to its inhabitants greeting,
and informs them that the General Congress has sanctioned
the following decree :
" Art. 1. The Government, within forty days of the publication
of this decree, will form a new tariff maritime and frontier, com-
bining all the improvements which experience has shown to be ne-
cessary to conciliate the interests of the Treasury of Commerce
and Manufacture.

" Alt 2. The tariff shall be formed on the following bases :
" 1. The ports already open to foreign and coasting trade shall
continue to be so.

" 2. The prohibition on foreign goods, the introduction of which
was not allowed at the period of the original bases, or which has
been sanctioned by the present Congress, shall continue in force.
"3. No variation stall take place with regard to those goods
which enter free of all duty, and the rules respecting them, which
are found in the sth, Gth, and 7th articles of the tariff' of the 25th
September, 1843, still continue in force.

" 4 With respect to a. .e duties to be levied in future, no in-
crease shall take place on the amount fixed by the said tariff of
1843, nor shall the duties be diminished below the standard of the
tariff of 1842. Nor can the time allowed for the payment of
duties be shortened; nor the duties now payabl^ on foreign good.,
similar to those manufactured in The republic be diminished,
always with the understanding that, in the opinion of the Govern-
ment, or the Council of Ministers, the said manufactures are pro-
duced in sufficient quantity to meet the actual consumption.
"5. The payment of duties shall take place in the maritime
and inland custom-houses in Vera Cruz and Tampico, and in the
general treasury of Mex,en, with the exception of such portion of
said duties as are applicable to the maintenance of the garrisons of
those places, and to the payment or the interest of the foreign and
home debt, all which dispositions shall remain exactly as they are
at present.

" 6. The new tarif shall come into effect not sooner than six
months from this date for goods coming from Europe by the
Atlantic. With regard to those arriving from the Antilles, from
Asia, and the United States, or which come from Europe by the
Pacific, a reasonable period shall hereafter be fixed.
"7. No alteration shall be made in the law of the 19th
February last which allows one per cent. of all duties to the public
hospitals.

" Art. 3.—The tariff that may be formed according to the pre-
ceding bases shall not be altered without the concurrence of Con-
gress, which, according to its constitutional faculties, has alone the
power to do so,
(Signed) "J. J. DE HERRERA.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Nothing is now talked
of in dramatic circles but Adele Dumilatre and the new ballet
of The Marble Maiden. The house has been crowded every
night she appeared in the character of Hebe, in this fascinat-
ing composition, and at a time• When it is' next to impossible
to find any member of high society in town, we have been
equally delighted and surprised to find, amongst others, the
following distinguished individuals have been to witness this
performance :—His Royal ;Highness Prince George of Cam-
bri:ige, Prince and Princess Demidoli, Prince Tagore, Marquis
and Marchioness of Worcester; Faris of Chesterfield, Muns-
ter, and Melbourne; Baron Rehausen, Count de Noailles,
Monsieur Thiers, Lords Lowther, Sussex Lennox, Cantalupe,
Thomas Clinton, Suffield, Curzon ; Lady Hastings, Lady
Shannon, Miss Burdett Coutts, Hon. Miss Vernon, Sir John
Lowther, Sir Henry Webster, Sir Henry Webb, Sir David
Roache, Mr. Broadwood, Captain Seymour, Captain de Bathe,
Colonel Cavendish, General Floris, Colonel and Mrs. Fitch,
Major Hunter, Hon. E. P. Freke, Hon. D. K. Pulteney, Mr.
Hume, Major White, &c. &c.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The season here closes
this evening, when the performances will be for the benefit
of Messrs. Wardle and Holt, the enterprising managers, who
have catered so excellently for the public during the past
season. The bill of fare is excellent. In addition to the usual
attractions, Mr. George Robinson, the vocalist, and Paul
Bedford—the mighty Paul—have volunteered their services.
Messrs. Wardle and Holt have done their duty, and no
doubt the public will do theirs equally well, and give them
a bumper.

Amongst the various railway projects now before
the public we do not know one likely to prove so useful as the
Great Western, Brentford, and Central Terminus Junction.
This scheme proposes, as will be seen from the advertisment
in another part of our paper, not only to bring the immense
traffic of the West of England into the heartof the metropolis,
but to afford railway accommodation to the most wealthy
and populous district in the vicinity of London. The great
advantage which this plan appears to us to possess over all
others, consists in its being a direct line, not crossing the
river, and that it is put forward by the most influential -pro-
prietors on the line, and not by persons having no local inte-
rest.

RAILWAY DEPOSITS.—The estimated amount of
money which must be paid into the Bank of England next
session (by the railway companies now being formed) to the
credit of the Accountant-General, conformably with the
standing ()Hers of Parliament, is expected to exceed
25,000,000/. sterling. These deposits are now accumulating in
the various private and joint-stock banks. In the mean 'time
such sums will not remain unemployed; it is calculated that
at least 10,000,001. thereof will be invested during this and
the ensuing month in Government Securities, so as to secure
the January dividends. Some of the new companies who
were on the qui rice last autum, purchased consols with their
deposits at 98% and 99, and not only realised the dividend,
but a handsome profit besides—no doubt, in several instances,
amply sufficient to cover the survey and Parliamentary ex-
penses, the funds having risen in the interim upwards of 3
per cent —From a Correspondent.
EFFECTS OF SUDDEN EXCITEMENT.—On Friday
forenoon Mr. G. J. Mills held an inquest at the Eagle and
Wheatsheaf, Albion-street, Hyde Park, on the body of
Mrs. Emma Heathcote, aged 59, a lady of fortune. It ap-
peared that a short time since the deceased lady came up
from Cheshire on a visit to her daughter and son-in-law,
'Mr. Cohen, of 5, SJutlisrick Crescent, Hyde Park-square.
Since her arrival in town she had shown no symptoms of
illness. On Wednesday last, between one and two o'clock,
a grandson of her's, who was ill, becoming worse, she arose
from her bed, and went to the nursery to advise with the
nurse, and whilst so doing, the latter exclaimed, " the boy is
dead !" " Impossible !" ejaculated deceased, and immedi-
ately fainted away. Mr. Garwood, a neighbouring surgeon,
was called in, but hie efforts to restore animation were un-
availing. That gentleman wrote to the Coroner, expres,ing
his belief that the lady's death was to be attributed to a sud-
den and violent excess of grief at the loss of her grandchild.
Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."
PORTUGAL GRAPES.—The importation of the large
and sweet description of grapes for table use, annually
brought from the Portuguese ports, the growth of that
country, has commenced for the season. A vessel, called the
Peri, from Lisbon, arrived at the Irish Wharf, adjoining
London-bridge, the day before yesterday, having upwards of
1,200 packages of this fruit on board. Several cargoes of
these grapes have preViously arrived, and have for several
days been exposed for sale in the markets and shops of the
metropolis. Although not, by any means, equal to our own
hothouse grapes, or even to those brought from Hamburgh at
a-later period of the autnmn, they are in consequence of their
swot flavour, and also moderate price, in much repute.
