THE TARIFF.

The Till to amend the laws relating to the Customs,
which embodies the tariff, declares that all the new
duties and regulations shall come into operation on the
passing of the Act. There aro a few exceptions, but
cattle and potatoes are not amongst them. Thus beef
salted, not being corned, is not to be admitted under the
new duty till October 10th. Pork salted is subjected
to the same restriction. These two articles, chiefly
used ax- ships' provisions, are now admissible at a duty
of 12s. per cwt., and will come in under the new tariff
at Bs. The increased rate of duty on nutmegs imported
from tbreign countries is not to take effect till July sth,
1843. The same date is fixed for the commencement of
the new duties On onion-seed, On train-oil, blubber, and
spermaceti, the produce of foreign fishing ; and on cork.
The alterations on the timber duties, our readers will
recollect, are to take effect from the 10th of October,
1842,-and 10th of October, 1843.

The Customs Bill likewise contains enactments re-
pealing the prohibition to import cattle and meat, slightly
salted ; it prescribes that no fish of foreign taking, ex-
cept anchovies, eels, turbots, and lobsters, shall be•im-
ported in fishing vessels, or any vessels, unless they be
regularly cleared out from a foreign port ; and it reduces
turbots, hitherto exempt from all Custom-house control,
under the same discipline as other fish. The Bill makes
also a number of regulations about the exportation of
tobacco ; allows spirits to be imported in stone bottles
not exceeding a quart ; makes Southampton a free port
for the importation of foreign silks ; it amends the Ware
housing Act, and permits wine for the use of officers of
the navy to be shipped at Liverpool. Respecting the
ImooRTATioN of BOOKS, it. repeals that part of the
General Customs Act which allows the importation, for
private use, of English works reprinted abroad, because
greet abuse has prevailed respecting it to the injury of
authors ; and it prohibits the importation into England
of all hooks wherein the copyright shall be subsisting,
first printed in the United Kingdom, and reprinted in
any other country. It requires, however, the proprietor
of the copyright to give notice to the Commissioners of
ell,tolns that the copyright exists.
liic Bill farther makes a number of regulations about
ships, goods, cargoes, and smuggling. It enacts the
new duties, called the Tariff, according to two tables
marked A and B, and confirms the additional duties le-
vied in 1840 on spirits, and of five per cent. on all cus-
toms. It gives the Lords of the Treasury power to re-
'uce local charges, duties. &c., where treaties of recipro-
city are entered into. It abolishes the bond now re-
quired by ship;pwners that they will land beef and pork
which they take on board as cargo, and shall not con-
sume it as ships' Stores, which abolition will enable our
ships to be victualled as cheaply in London as in Ham-
burgh. Altogether, the Bill, independent of the tables
of duties, contains 57 clauses, many of which make
minute regulations, of interest only to the parties to
whom they apply. The main feature to which we call
attention is, that the new duties, except in the cases we
have specified. will come into operation as soon as the
Bill receives the Royal Assent.

ADVERTISEMENT.—DENTITION.—There is perhaps no
part of the human frame which more admirably exemplifies the
wisdom and bounty of the Creator than the structure andarrange-
ment of the Teeth ; for while among the, animal races, some
tribes are endowed with teeth which allow them to live only en
vegetable diet ; others being furnished with an apparatus cal-
culated only for animal food ; man is provided with teeth which
render him omnivorous, and enable him to live either on animal
or vegetable substances, as either may be most conducive to his
well-being. The embellishment, care and preservation of these
important parts of the hue an economy are objects highly im- ,
portant ; and, among the various preparations offered for the
purpose, the ()dont°. invented by Messrs. Rowland. of Hatton-
garden, stands unrivalled as a dentifrice, excelling all others in
its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the
teeth and gums.
THE MANSEUVRING I‘IOTIIER.—This New Novel,
by the Author of " The History of a Flirt," has at length made
its appearance, and we doubt if it will not rival its predecessor
as much in popularity as it certainly does in variety, and conse-
quently power of entertainment. " The History of a Flirt"
was confined almost exclusively to the personal adventures of
one individual ; but " The Alanceuvring Mother " offers us
half-a-dozen heroines, and as many heroes, to choose out of—
all of them more or less qualified to fill that office. The four
daughters who figure in the matrimonial schemes of the
" blanceuvring Mother" affbrd a fund of entertainment by their
various humours and characters, while the tribe of lovers who
flutter round them, and the host of incidental persons who
take part, from time to time, in this excellent tale of real life,
and the numerous incidents that fill it with perpetual movement
and action, will probably ensure for it universal favour among
Ireland the first
that class of readers who are wise enough not to taheinekomthpeawnoiresde

of instruction, because it comes to them through the medium of

they sought shelter beneath a tree. The tree was struck by
lightning. One of the lads was killed on the spot, and the
other was most severely injured. It is a singular fact, that
there has been no storm in Hampshire for many years past
that has not been more severely felt in the neighbourhood of
Romsey than in any other part, and in every instance seine
fatal accident has resulted, or some considerable destruction of
property.
A violent storm passed over Borges on Saturday,
in the lass week, and fell upon the surrounding communes of
Barry, Marmagne, Melon, Quincy, and Vareay, doing exten•
-ire damage to the crops. The same storm was a'so severely,
felt at St. Amend and its neighbourhood. On the same day,
a violent storm did considerable damage to a great part of the
detartment of the Allier. The hail fell in great abundance,
