THE AMERICAN TARIFF.

By the packet-ship Boston, H.C. Mackay, which
sailed from Boston on the Ist ef May, and arrived
off this port last night, we have received New Yprk
papers to the 29th April, Washington to the 25th,
and Boston to the 29th. The New Tariff Bill
passed the House of Representatives on the 22d
ult. by the majority of 105 to 94. It was taken to
the Senate, and on the 21th was read a second time
and referred to the Cemmittee on Manufactures. It
is remarkable that 28 of the New England represen-
tatives voted against the Bill in the lower House,
and only 15 for it ; and as all the representatives ef
the Southern States opposed it, It was carried
by the votes of the Middle and Western States,
The following are extracts :
The Tariff Bill passed the House of Representa-
tives without further amendment, on Tuesday last,
April 22. The debate on the passage of the Bill
was very warm and animated, and many members
still proposed to speak on the • subject, when Mr.
Wright, of New York, after a few preparatory re-
marks, moved the previous question on the passage
of the Bill. The Speaker then put the previous
question in the following: words, " Shall the main
question now be put e" which was carried—yeas,
122; nays, 63. The main question being about
to be put, Mr. Gilmer moved for a call of the House,
and it was decided in the affirmative—yeas, 98;
nays, 90. The roll was then called, and 201 Mem-
bers answered to their names. The Speaker then
put the main queistion in the following words—
" Shall this Bill pass ?" and it was decided by yeas
and nays as fellows :—Yeas, 105 ; nays 91.
The question then recurring on the title of the
Bill, Mr. WILDE moved to amend it by adding the
words " and for the encouragement of domestic ma-
nufactures."

Mr. RANDOLPH opposed the motion, insisting
that domestic manufactures meant those works
which were carried on in families of farmers, in the
fabrication of what used to be calla Virginia
cloth ; and that the Bill, if it had its true name,
should be Called a bill to rob and plunder nearly
one half of the Union, for the benefit of the residue,
&c. Let theiriends of the Bill christen their own
child ; he would not stand god-father to it. The
title was merely ad caplanduaz vulgus ; like the
words of the continental money ridiculed in Smith's
verses :
" Libertas et natale solum,

Fine words indeed ! I wonder where you stole 'em."
The Bill referred to no manufactures of any sort or
kind, but the manufacture of a President of the
United States.
Mr. DRAYTON then moved to amend the title ac
follows :—Strike out all after " An act," and insert
"to increase the duties upon certain imports, for the
purpose of increasing the profits of certain manu-
factures."
Mr. HODGES moved to amend the amendment of
Mr. Drayton, by adding to it as follows :—" And to
transfer the capital and industry of the New England
States to other States in the Union."

Whereupon, Mr. BARTLETT moved the previous
question on the title.
The House sustained the call ; the previous ques-
tion was put and carried ; and the main question
having been put as follows :—" Shall this be the
Bill ?" it was carried without a division.

So the Bill was passed, and ordered to be sent to
the Senate for concurrence.

The National Intelligencer observes, "the Bill
seems to be an acceptable one to nobody, and to be
urged on its passage as much by the objections to it,
as by the arguments in its favour."

There was caught last week, at Marlefield, a

Edinburgh, in expectation of its being thought deserving
of preservation in the College Museum. On Monday last
another young crow was shot at Mertoun, with three legs.
The extra leg is placed between the two ordinary ones ; it
is attached to the skin only,
and has no joint above the
claws ; the claws are five in number, of a yellowish white
it resembles its fellows.—Kelso Mail:
