sion, be 10 o'clock, This motion was supported by

THE TARIFF.
The bill from the House of Representatives, 60 to
amend tie several acts for imposing duties i'm
ports" was again taken up for consideration, in
committee Of the whole, Mr.. King, Of Allah. in the
chair.
The Gucstion upon the motion submitted yes
terdsy by Mr.. Elliot to amend the bill, by striking
out the provso which establishes the minimum up
Oh which the duties cotaH cloths & cotton twist,
yarn, or thread, are to be calculated.
Mr.. Rugglcs spoke in opposition to this amend
ncnt, on the general ground that the manufactures
of The country ought to be encouraged *, IN pari-
cular, those which were in general use, and of abb
solutc necessity and for the manufacture Of which
We possess adequate means
The motion before the Senate was supported by
MIR. Taylor, of Virginia, who took general view
of he.fnancial measures of the country, as cacu-
lated to build up section Of the country, in pc
cuniary importance, and to depfess the other, and
thereby to establish geographical tyranny, which
ne considered very much than nionarchial OPP
preston. He proceeded to comment upon this bill
as another and most important stride in the
10 which he had before alluded.
Mr. Hayne next advocated the motion TO strike
out the minimum on cotton cloths. He gave very
precise and detailed statement Of the operation o
this provision in the bill, upon the various descrp
tons Of goods proceeded to expose the impolicy
Of taxing these articles excessively, in order to gra
tify few manufacturers. FIe contended that the

cation to the Ftlito, ot the Southern Patriot,
an Irish paper.
" Having sect in q late paper, OF yours an
extract from another paper, which stated the
discovery oi an extraordinary Suhtcrrancous
mill IN Cork, take this opportunity of rela
ting The particulars. The mill alluded to

beneath the bed OF q scanty rivulct which, it
is more than probable, served 1t one time to
SET this little mill in motion. Atter digging
through Il hlack turty mould, fora considera
tie distance, which the goodness OF the
manure induced them 20 do, they met with
clic Of the boarded lofts, composed Of bog
dale, toall appearance fresh, and IN state of
| soundncss; beneath this was found a consid
cradle quantity OF the like coioured mould,
intcrmxcd in many places with a few COM
pressed cakes of heath, which in like manner
continued in perfectly sound state. On one
sitlc ol this discovered apartment, opening
to 4 width Of about II feet across, and Of IL
bout s in depth, was found 4 $irglc mill stone,
resembling III every slap" those 81 the pre-
sent day, cXccptng that thc space intended

cd was boarded on both sides, and likewise
/ beneath between both lofts was also found q
/ long beam Oi muullcring Irish dale which up
on inspection was found TO have been pciiora

tc be supposed was used as 4 pipe or duet
belonging to some part ii the machinery.

the Danish people never used in the making
OF that drinh, the art of which is now totally

Mr.. Ep,roR--Thc following Facts related
TO me, a few weeks ago, by a high Sheriff in

The Sheriff had writ of attachment a.

W take property, and particularly a pair of
oxen, owned by the debtlr. lie accordingly
went to the house of Mr.. -, who was not
at home. His wife being enqu;red of, IN
formed the Sheriff that her husband had sold
the oxen long time before, for provisions,
which they had consumed, and that she had
not had any meat in her house for six weeks,
and that her family were then destitute Of
bread, or even a potatoc-thc only article OF
provisions in the hons" being piece Of
cheese, which had been given 10 one Of her
h;ldrcn.--Tllis drew the attention Of the
sheriff to the family, which he found consist
cd ct husband and wife, and seven children,
the eldest of which, about twenty, went on
crutciles, one OF his legs having pcrished.
This son had learned to get out stulis for
chairs, and did much in that way towards
nsaint:ining the family. He had then on
hand, prepared for market, Il considerable
quantity. These the Sheriff levied on, as he
considered his duty required, and then went
away tor team 10 remove them. At even
ing he returned to the house. prepared to
take away the chair stufls, when he found
the father, Mr.. ---, had returned home
drunk.
The children being now ready for bed, all
huddlcd down together on a bunk, drawn
out from under another bed, there being but
two for the whole family, and these in the
same room, there being but one room in the
house, and that log hut, the sides badly

side of the log wall, found its way out by =

Why is it that the most fervent love BE-

is-because all passions feel their object to be

Sirpular CIcamstance.-Th following eH-

door, and resumed hcr work. The poor
duck, howcycrc, was rot to bc rcpulScd IN
