MEXICO.

The arrival of the Sea gives us some additions made
to the New Mexican Tariff :

Art. 1. All vessels, of whatsoever nature, that shall be
on terms of friendship with the Mexican nation, notwith-
standing no special treaty of commerce shall have been ra-
tified between them, shall be admitted to all those ports
open for foreign commerce. Their captain or
supercargo, as well as the munimeut and cargo of
said vessel, shall be held subject to the prescribed
laws fur the collection of duties, and to all penal-
ties existing at the time of their arrival, from the
very moment of their anchorage in the waters of the port
Art. 2. Vessels coming from foreign ports, being
other than national vessels, cannot be admitted at any
other port save that to which they may be consigned.
If they do so (save under the 72d article of this enact-
ment) the vessel as well as her cargo shall be considered
forfeited. All surplusages of cargo over that manifested
will be liable to the penalty of the 84th article, being
considered in the light of contraband.
Art. 3. The following are the ports which are open to
the entrance of foreign vessels :—Gulf of Mexico, Sisal,
Campeche, Tobasco, Vera :Cruz, Tampico, Matamoras

1842.

February 6.—Lord John Russell's resolution against
the alteration in the corn-laws proposed by Sir Robert
Peel, as not being calculated to remove the evils of
the former law, was rejected by 349 to 226 ; majo-
rity 123.
February 9.—Sir Robert Peel, in introducing the pre-
sent corn-law, said—" My firm belief is, that if the
House of Commons should be induced to pledge itself
to a total repeal, which we on this side of the House de-
precate so much—without relieving permanently the
manufactures of the country, you will only snperadd the
severest agricultural distress. Any such disturbance of
agriculture as must follow from a total repeal of the
corn-laws would, in my opinion, lead to unfavourable
results, not only with respect to the agriculturists
themselves, but also to all those numerous classes
who are identified with them in interest. . • • •
I retain my opinion, which I expressed some time ago,
that it is of the utmost importance to the interest of this
country that you should be, as far as possible, inde-
pendent of foreign supply. . The protection
which I propose to retain I do not retain for the especial
protection of any particular class. Protection cannot be
vindicated on that principle ..... and, in the
proposition I now submit to the House, I totally disclaim
any such intention. My belief, and the belief of my col-
leagues, is, that it is of the highest importance to the
welfare of all classes in this country, that you should
take care that the main sources of your supply of corn
should be derived from domestic agriculture, while we
also feel that any additional price which you may pay
in effecting that object, is an additional price which can-
not be vindicated as a bonus or premium to agriculture,
but only on the ground of its being advantageous to the
country at large. You are entitled to place such a price
on foreign corn as is equivalent to the special burdens
borne by the agriculturists; and any additional protec-
tion you give to them, I am willing to admit, can only
be vindicated on the ground that it is for the interest of
the country generally.
fore, I am opposed to a system of protection on the
ground merely of defending the interests of a particular
class, I, on the other hand, would certainly not be a
party to any measure the effect of which would he to
make this country permanently dependent upon foreign
countries for any very considerable portion of its supply
of corn." We make these quotations from the autho-
rised edition of the Premier's speech, as revised and
corrected by himself.

" RAILWAY LITIGATION.

" At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day
of December, 1545,
" it was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened
in various railway matters, It is very desirable that, with a view to
the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of
claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of
ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the
legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for
shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various
railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi •
dual responsiteility), a confidential meeting • be speedily convened of
parties who are interested in these objects."
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair.

The names of numerous persons desirous of co-operating having
been given in—
It was unimously resolved,—That with a view to the accomplish-
ment of the forego,ng purposes, a Society be now formed, to be called
" The Railway Mutual Protection Society."
That the rules and regulations for the support and government of
the Society now read, be approved and adopted.
And it was ordered that the same be printed for distribution, and
that Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, of Throgmorten-street, the
solicitors of the society, be authorised to furnish copies thereof to
applicants ; and
That persons proposing to become members of the Society, are re-
quested to send their names and addresses to the solicitors.
Upon the motion of Sir WILLIAM LOWTIIOItP, it was unanimously

ills author of • Peter Priggins,' and 'Parsons and Widows,' has
establkshed a reputation which 'Minster Caste' will extend and
contlrm. The entire work has all the vigour of a master's hand.
The characters are threibly drawn, with that nice diserimination
which gives prominence and individuality to each. The manners of
the period are well preserved, and the historical incidents are not
overlaid with historical accessories. The death of Hampden is
cleverly connected with the story, and helps to work out its denoue-
,eet,t. Upon the whole we unhesitatingly pronounce ' Punster

SOUTH AMERICA.

Unfortunately, differences continue to exist among
some of the nations of South America, which, following
our example, have established their independence, while
in others internal dissensions prevail. It is natural
that our sympathies should be warmly enlisted for their
welfare; that we should desire that all controversies be-
tween thew should be amicably adjusted, and their go-
vernments administered in a manner to prot, ct the rights
and promote the prosperity of their pecple. It is con-
trary, however, to our settled policy, to interfere in their
controversies, whether external or internal.

I have thus adverted to all the subjects connected
with our foreign relations to which I deem it necessary
to call your attention. Our policy is not only peace
with all, but good-will towards all the powers of the
eat th. While we are just to all, we require that all shall
be just to us. Excepting the differences with Mexico
and Great Britai❑ our relations with all civilised nations
are of the most satisfactory character. It is hoped that
in this enlightened age these differences may be ami-
cably adjusted.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in his annual report
to Congress, will communicate a full statement of the
condition of our finances. The imports for the fiscal
year ending on the 13th of June last were of the value
of 117,254,564 dolls., of which the amount exported was
15,346,830 dolls., leaving a balance of 101,907,734 dolls.
for domestic consumption. The exports for the same
year were of the value of 114,646,606 dolls.; of which
the amount of domestic articles was 99,291,776 dolls.
The receipts into the Treasury during the same year
were 29,769,133 dolls. 56 cents ; of which there were
derived froth customs 27,528,112 dolls. 70 cents ; from
sales of public lands, 2,770,022 dolls. 30 cents; and from
incidental and miscellaneous sources, 163,998 dolls. 56
cents. The expenditures for the same period were
29,968,206 dolls. 98 cents; of which 8,588,157 dolls. 62
cents were applied to the payment of the public debt.
The balance in the Treasury on the Ist of June last was
7,658,306 dolls. 22 cents. _ _

The amount of the public debt remaining unpaid on
the Ist of October last was 17,075,445 dolls. 52 cents.
Further payments of the public debt would have been
made, in anticipation of the period of its reimbursement
under the authority conferred upon the Secretary of the
Treasury by the Acts of July 21, 1841, and of April 15,
1842, and March 3, 1843, had not the unsettled state of
our relations with Mexico menaced hostile collision with
that power. In view of such a contingency, it was
deemed prudent to retain in the Treasury an amount un-
usually large for ordinary purposes.
A few years ago, our whole national debt growing out
of the revolution and the war of 1812 with Great Britain
was extinguished, and we presented to the world the
rare and noble spectacle of a great and growing people
who had fully discharged every obligation. Since that
time the existing debt has been contracted; and small as
it is, in comparison with the similar burdens of most
other nations, it should be extinguished at the earliest
practicable period. Should the state of the country
permit, and especially it our foreign relations interpose
no obstacle, it is contemplated to apply all the moneys
in the Treasury as they accrue beyond what is required
for the appropriations by Congress to its liquidation. I
cherish the hope of soon being able to congratulate the
country on its recovering once more the lofty position
which it so recently occupied. Our country, which ex-
hibits to the world the benefits of self-government, in
developing all the sources of national prosperity, owes
to mankind the permanent example of a nation free from
the blighting influence of a public debt.

MARKET NEWS.-(THISADAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-WEDNESDAY
The continuance of fine weather, and the larSe quantity of
English Wheat on sale has produced considerable heaviness
in the demand for that description of Grain, and prices ruled
somewhat lower for the middling and inferior kinds. Very
little Foreign Wheat was on offer; nevertheless, the trade with
it was dull, at barely late rates. Holders of bonded Grain
were firm, but the amount of business doing was trifling.
Barley and Malt sold freely, at very full prices. The supply
of Oats being small, the Oat trade was active, at fully Mon-
day's advanced quotations. Beans and Peas were quite as
dear. In Flour very few sales took place.

QPORTING APPAREL!
L./ Let all who are fond of the use of a barrel
Come to MOSES and SON for their " sporting apparel ;"
These garments are just the right thing for the field,
And the choicest of taste in their make is reveard.
Much depends on the dress that a sportsman has got
With regard to becoming an excellent shot;
A garment too tight would prevent a just aim,
And the sportsman would thus de depriv'd of his game.
Then ye who are fond of the use of the barrel,
Come to MOSES and SON for your " sporting apparel."
The line sporting garments which MOSES' produce.
Are nicely adapted to general use ;
And you'll never consider these garbs are beneath
A city parade, though design'd for the heath.
A sporting coax, purchased of us, seems to say,
" I'm suited to any and every day;"
And as for its service, you need not to doubt,
Ten chances to one that it ever wears out.
Then ye who are fond of the use of the barrel,
Come to MOSES and SON for your " sporting apparel."

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1845,

A melancholy exemplification. of the unequal degree of
sympathy manifested by the law in its practical administra-
tion for the rich as compared with the poor, occurs in a para
graph we have transcribed from the Somerset County Gazette.
It relates to one of the most deplorable catastrophes
into which madness or despair can precipitate a rea-
soning being. It regards the case of a wounded, impetuous
spirit, stung by the intolerable pressure of a present distress,
presumptuously withdrawing from its appointed sphere
of existence and of duty,—and "rushing"—as it is somewhat
vaguely but impressively described—" into the presence of
its CREATOD,"—unbidden, unanealed !" GOD forbid! that we
should be misunderstood—in our observations on this
melancholy event—to speak irreverently of that Divine
prohibition which has its echo in the conscientious and
abhorrent convictions of every human breast. We should
be reluctant, to the last degree, to be suspected of
regarding with levity or ' irreverence that stern
but wise and solemn reprobation with which human institu-
tions resent this insult on the Supreme Majesty of the Uni-
verse. But it is with no such feelings—it is in the absence
of any such purpose—that we find ourselves compelled to
denounce the Coroner's verdict returned on the inquest at-
tending the circumstances which led to the death of JAMES
LOVELL, of Norton Kewstoke, Somersetshire, who com-
mitted suicide on Saturday last by hanging himself.
This is but one exemplar of a very numerous class of cases
in which we are too often shocked—not by the servile
and obsequious promptitude of inquest juries, in devising every
possible construction of circumstances proved in evidence—
