OPENING OF THE BRAZILIAN
LEGISLATURE.
SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR.

" Most worthy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives
of the Nation,—

" I always experience a great pleasure in finding myself
amongst you. The precarious state of the health of the Im-
rial Princess, my dearly beloved sister, placed me under the
cruel necessity of seeing her depart from me. Yielding to
the solicitations of the Prince, her august husband, and my
very much esteemed brother-in-law, I was under the neces-
sity of granting her a twelvemonth's leave of absence, for
the re-establishment, in Europe, of her very precious health.
" The contiued proofs of the valour and loyalty of my fleet
and army still deserve my approbation. Their endeavours
and my clemency have put an end to the disturbances which
lately afflicted the province of Alagoas, and afford me like-
wise the best founded hopes that those of my subjects who,
in the province of St. Pedro, Rio Grande, and Sul, who have
for more than nine years kept up a civil war, will shortly lay
down their arms.

"The peaceable and friendly relations with all foreign nations
continue unaltered, and I shall be very anxious to maintain
them without compromising the dignity and interests of the
empire.
" The national industry, in all its various branches, engages
my especial attention, and claims equally yours.
" My Ministers and Secretaries of State will give in their
respective budgets an account of the matters coming within
their several departments.

" Most worthy and honourable Gentlemen, Representatives
of the Nation—

" From the perfect harmony which subsists between the
political powers of the State, and from your patriotic and
well-directed labours, in unison with my zeal, 1 hope to see
the institutions of the ",,country and the public peace more
firmly consolidated throughout the empire.
" The session is opened."

THE TANNING TRADE.
TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
RESPECTED FRIEND,—I respectfully and earnestly solicit
thee to publish in thy valuable paper the following remarks
on the proposed repeal of the duty on leather, believing, if it
take place, that the tanning trade in this country will be
seriously injured, indeed almost destroyed. The proposal, I
think, must be an oversight, it being the only deviation from
Sir R. Peel's principle in dealing with the tariff, that of re-
pealing the duty on foreign raw material, and giving en-
couragement to Brish industry. There is a large amount of
capital invested in tanneries, and the manufacturing of hides
into leather employs a great number of fairly-remunerated
labourers ; the effect of extensive importations would be to
deprive the latter of employment, and to make the former of
little value. The present duty is so small that it protects the
public from having to pay a much higher price for leather
than it can be bought at abroad ; it also prevents foreign
labour superseding British. Taking into account the higher
price of latx)urin this country, arising principally from what
the labourer consumes, being more heavily taxed than it is
in others, leather is about as cheap in England as it is else-
where. If the English manufacturer be to compete, without
protection, with the foreign manufacturer, it is only reason-
able that the English farmer should compete, without pro-
tection, with the toreign farmer. If our labourers be to com-
pete, without protection, with foreign labourers, they should,
before the competition at least, be placed on an equality ;
they should have their food as cheap, and to have it, the
taxes on food must be repealed : not to do so would be to
legislate invidiously,
cruelly, and unjustly. I hope the Lon-
don tanners are exerting themselves to protect the trade.
I am, resp TANNER.

SMUGGLED TOBACCO.—The Ardent, of London-
derry, Pascoe master, was seized on Monday, in the river Mersey,
with about 21 tons of contrabaml tobacco on board, concealed under
a cargo of oats. Ou being hailed 14 Lieutenant Walker, of her Ma-
jesty's revenue cruiser, she was reported by the captain as coining
from Sligo, but is, in reality, believed to be from Flushing or Ilam-
btu gh. The Ardent is a beautiful schooner of 74 tons, and a rakish
looking craft; all the crew are in custody, and the vessel in the
hands of the Custcm-house ofilacro.
