PITIMIC OPINION.
The Chriinicle contains the following observations
on the -subject of the American Tariff Bill :—" A Ta-
lift Bill, whiCh must be considered a temporary one,
has at length been agreed to by the President and
Congress of the' United States, after• one of the most
des- - •
perate party struggles that ever occurred in that
bcountry. This Act imposes high duties upon imports,
uttyery nearly a return to the restrictions of 1832,
tar must be regarded, as we have said, as a tempo-
Y meastlts4. It has been passed for the purpose of
a nd
fluting 'finances of the Federal Government,
in fact' o save its credit. The public treasury
,tould teen unable, in the present year, to meet
3
intongageni;lits under the low duties, which came
, 'operation on the 30th of June last; and even
nese duties, from the incompleteness of the Act of
1.633, were' collected in a manner of which the lega-
,.gY was *tested, and was certainly doubtful. The
ii_ariff Ace is a remedy for this pressing and almost
esperate exicrene The American correspondent of
journal has very truly said, The great ques-
;leo, shall there be a permanent protective tariff? is
81/tnsioentt/ed.' It will be settled, as far as any such
can, by the elections for the next Congress,
iTiich is to meet about fifteen months hence; and
til:n those elections we hold it to be beyond all doubt
t the policy of England in the interim may exer-
el: a considerable influence. • This subject has the
co:est bearing on the condition of the people of this

2.ATE OF TRADE AT PAISLEY.—The views of
11-k'' manufacturers, for the last eight or ten days, have
'4 less cheering than they were for several weeks be-
i4- ' The anticipations of an active London trade,
111i,ng the present month, have not yet been realized ;
'although hope still flatters a little. the expectations
te becoming rather less sanguine. There is, on the
itrt of the trade, rather a reluctance to accumulate
ciT4el,_ kg-; and the' effect of this is that several houses
e discharged a few hands, and show a disposition to
c6fitract rather than to extend their operations. Since
,the above was written, a correspondent states that the
