BoLryAR. A letter lies before MS writ
ten by an American at Porto Cabello, dat
ed the 9th nit which furnishes the follow
ing information as tothc IIiberator's notion
Of raising the ways and means to meet the
debt Of the country. The extract is given
literally.
Lately, Bolivar has laid an Alcavalla
duty on all produce, say 5 per cent. on the
valuation, which is taken from the current
sales. He has also laid tax of 800 on
all merchants transacting commission bust
ness, on all retail dry good stores, one of
Sl50-and on smaller establishments, one
OF from $50 to 500 per annum.
"These taxes will produce revenue of
from 3 to million dollars. lie has dis
charged all military officers off duty. Civ
ing them reference in civil employnents,
when they have capacity to fill then,-he
has reduced the present pay one half-a-
polished the reception Of government pa
per for a season in the ustom-houses--and.
IN fact, has made such alterations as will
in nine months pay the interest if not part
Of the principal of the national debt
More than two hundred!! disaffected per-
sons have been shot in Cumana and Azure.
and Gen. PACE has carried all before him
IN executing Bolivar's DEGREES. He il des-
peratc and strict to every order of the Lib
orator."

AHER1cAS Policy. The prejudces which
have existed against manufactures in this coun-
try, and the doubts which have been entertain
ed Of the propricty of protecting them, in ref
crcnce TO other interests of the community, are
rapidly dissipating. The principal advantage
which foreigners have over us in the growth
or manufacture of any article, Except produc-
tons not adapted to our climate) is in the
cheapness of their labor. It therefore follows
that almost any business which requires less
amount of labor than agriculture, according TO
the value of the article produced, may be sue
cessfully aud profitably followed here, if suita-
bly, protected And every new branch ofbusi-
ness that is introduced, promotes the agricul-
tural interest, by making those consumers OF
the produce of others, who otherwise would
produce surplus for the market beyond their
own consumption.
We have been led TO these remarks by motto
ing an article in late number of the Norfolk
Herald, paper published in the most CONNER
cial district in Virginia, which State has, here
tofore, been the most thoIough-going in its OPP
has lately manifested symptoms of a change in
the opinions of many Of her leading men The
article to which we allude commences with no.
ticing the great benefits which all the States,
who have turned their attention TO manufac-
lures, have, with the aid of the protective sys-
tenn, derived from that branch of industry in.
the encouragement of their agricultural and
commercial pursuits This, indeed, is one Of
the strongest recommendations of the system,
that it does directly tend to foster those inte-
rests. The writer then udverts to the contrast
between the States. which have engaged in
manufactures, and those which have not that,
while the latter arc languishing, the former
are rising in wealth, population and conse-
qucnce
"Virginia" he adds, as are all her sis
ter States to tire south of her, is entirely
an agricultural State, and what is worse,
neither she nor they can, for at least many
years, enter extensively into manufactures
Nine tenths of her population are depend
cnt solely on agriculture, which must Ian
gush in a time of profound peace, when
foreign nations are raising enough to sup
ply their own wants within themselves. and
even selling their surplus products of aori-
culture lower than she can afford them. If
Virginia, then, could withdraw a consid-
cradle part OF her capital and industry
from agriculture, and employ it in man
utactures, she would open valuable source
OF wealth, establish new market within
herself for the consumption of the surplus
products of her agriculture, and by lesson
ing the number of competitors inthatbranch,
add TO its profits But Virginia has ne

A short time since, Mr.. Jacob Barrick
discovered the art of tempering the curry
ing knife, and has since been engaged in
manufacturing them ; and it will be seen by.
---sisavutre from PractIcai mechanics Of
the greatest responsibility, that John
Shugart has also succeeded in the
manufacture of this important article Of
quality superior to the imported k1nues Of
The best quality. We are advised that the
manufacture of approved currying knives
is confined to one establishment in En-
gland, and that all attempts, though nume-
rous, there and in this country, to make
them of equal quality, have heretofore fail
cd and that gentlemen, now engaged in
the importation of this article, have given
assurance that any number of currying
knives of the quality that have been manu-
featured here, can readily be disposed of.

JACOB PERKINS. The London Journal
of Arts and Sciences for April 1927, fur
nishes an interesting article on Mr.. Per-
kins' improved steam-engine. 1t appears
from the Journal referred to, that Mr.. P.
has surmounted the many practical difficult
ties, with which he had to contend, in the
construction of his engine, and that on the
first of April it had been several days in
successful operation. The engineers who
had attentivcly witnessed the performance,
were unable to detect any failacy, in the
application Of principles or in the operation
of the engine. We may now safely con-
lecture and speculation most always gives
way to experiment, that the long contro-
versy, respecting the actual potcer, perfect
safety, Gsld great economy of this engine, is
sooa to be settled forever.

FALSE NosE. a French surgeon has
lately restored to an individual his nose,
which had been frost bitten during the
campaign in Russia. The usual mode
was adopted of turning down portion of
the skin of the forehead for the purpose
The result is very satisfactory. The de-
fornity is scarcely observable, and the
scar in the forehead, concealed also in some
degree by the hair, has almost entirely dis
appeared. What is very extraordinary, is,
that the person on whom this operation
has been performed, refers TO his forehead
all the sensations of bis false nose the
nerves of which are in fact furnished by
the nervous branches intended for the fore
head.

terday, which shows the strong feeling of thr
authorities here in favor of the Americans. A
dispute arose between Captain Mott, Of the ship
Canton, and some colored laborers, which end
ed by the interference Of the military, who as
saulled captain Mott with drawn swords, and
struck several blows at him, cutting his Goa, &
waste oat, but fortunately without further inju-
ry. Captain Mott Immediately complained to
the officer on duty, but could get no satisfaction
Next morning meeting OF all the Americans
was called, and committee appointed 10 wait
on General Wives, who, as soon as he heard Of
the outrage. issued orders 10 have the whole of
the guard on duty the cay previous, arrested,
and the aggressors severely punished, assuring
the gentlemen that any aggression from abuse
of military or civil power, shall at all times be
promptly redressed. The satisfaction was COM
plele, and thus ended the matter.
