THE AMENDED TARIFF.

The new-commercial tariff, with the changes to which the
Government has bean indnavd to accede by the n;presentations
and suggestions of• those par ies who have a practical acquain-
tance with.the subject, was laid upon the table of the House of
Commons at a la•u hour on Monday night. These changes
are few in number. In the case of a few manufactured ar•

ticks, in which it appeared that a sudden removal of protec-
tion to the whole extent proposed would have a fatal effect on
certain branches of domestic industry, without procuring any
great amount of benefit to the community a:: large, some con-
cession has been made. For instance, the duties on women's
gloves, habit-glop es, and men's gloves will be reduced from 75., ss.
and 4s. per dozen pair respectively, to 4s. 6d., 3s. Gd. , and 2s. 6d.,
not to 55., 2*. 6d., and 25.: the duty on straw-plait will be re-
duced to 7s. 61, not to ss. per pound. The tariff, as it new
stands, has been considerably simplified by the removal of a
vast number of differential duties, which stood in the original
scheme, for the purpose of favouring the produce of the colo-
nies. Many of these differential duties were to have been
levied on articles which none of the colonies produce, and they
might have had the bad effect of encouraging, by new protec-
tion, certain branches of unprofitable or unnatural cultivation
and industry. But the preference given to the trade and pro-
duce of the British colonies has been retained in favour of all
those articles which are, er may soon become, important and
natural portions of our colonial and national wealth.
The duties on provisions remain as they were in the origi-
nal scheme, except that the admission of foreign beef and
pork to the English market is postponed to the loth of Octo-
ber, 1842.

The admission of foreign fish is subjected to the condition
that it cannot be imported in fishing vessels, because by the
various treaties with foreign Powers, which regulate the home
fisheries, it is stipulated that the fishing-boats of one nation
shall not fish or trade within three miles of the coasts of an-
other country. The trade in fresh fish will consequently be
limited to such fish as may be conveyed to this country in car-
goes of a certain sir, ; as, for example, salmon from Norway,
and eels from Holland. _ .
