The cotton market has been devoid of animation
throughout the week, and the sales are still small.
For the week ending last evening they amounted to
4,450 bales, of which 3,250 were Upland and Florida
at 6 cents. to 8-4- cents.; 750 Mobile at 61 cents.
to 91 cents.; and 420 New Orleans at 6 cents. to 10
cents. The arrivals during the same period were
3,436 bales. In prices there is no noticeable change,
although they are rather in favour of purchasers.
The taritV now before Congress will be vetoed, and
probably none will be passed in the present session of
Congress. In order to show, however, the feeling of
the majority, we subjoin a comparative table of the
duties imposed by the last twPfariffs\and those of the
new Bill on the leading articles of import from
England :

In looking at the specific duties, it must be taken
into consideration that the prices of those goods on
which they are levied are much lower now than in
1832 ; consequently the present duty is the highest
ever levied.
