The declarations of the Ministry last night upon the

"The business transac• ions in the early part of the last

re(pirements of almost every branch of industry, in conse-
quence of the measures of refief in the Tariff of Duties, pro,.
posed by the Executive to the Legislature, on articles titcsi.
nary for manufacturing purposes; but when those measures
were adopted by the House of Commons, orders were imMe-
diately sent to the officers of the Customs throughout the

consequence has been such as to create an unusual activity."
