WAsnISGroN y, January lO.-The bill for
areyison Of the TarHofDutieso ON Imports,
was yesterday reported in the House Of
Representatives, by Mr.. Tod. The interest
which the subj ect eXcltes rs proved by the

"r treaty stipulations. i.Ndt. Int
! The Treasury estimates were yCster-
sent in to Congress, being a week earlier
than they were sent Ta the last year. The
writers of letters to distant places, there
fore, can no longer represent Mr.. CRAw-
FoRn's recovery as hopeless Their case
IS hopeless if their calculations of success
are founded on so drplorable a contingen
cy. We cannot even aatter them with the
hope of his losing both his eyes, as is said
to have been predicted abroad, or even one
Of them. He is gradually and certainly,
though yet not rapidly, regaiung his health.
