We have devoted so much space this week.
to our correspondents on the sebject of the
tariff that we have little room left for any re-
marks OF our own. We will however, briefly
examine one or two OF the positions Of 6 Cen.
fraI Wh0Lf; :" and first, that relating to
the circuitous trade. The demand and
consumption Of American products in Hol.
land, &c. is not dependent, at all, on the
receiving of bills on England in payment.
II matters little, either to the buyer or seller,
whether payment is made in such bills or in
specie, they being at their respective rates, ex.
| actly equivalent to each other The premi
UNI on Bills on England is owing to the differ.
ent standards OF value 10 the two countries
There, silverI not being legal tender, is an
article OF merchandise, and its nominal value
in the market, is 10 or IL per cent. less than
it is here. The consequence is, that, being a
tender here, gold, in our market, bears a pre.
MUM, and SO also do Bills on England, be.
cause they are payable 10 gold at it's par val.
ue. So It makes no difference whether nav.
meut is received in specie, or bills, because
If silver is taken, it is at such discount that
it affords profit and il gold, it sells for a
premium here as well as the Bills.
Keeping this principle out OF view has led TO
much erroneous reasoning on both sides o. the
question. The only bearing which the differ
ence IN exchange has on the question, in our
apprehension, is this-the goods being invoic-
ed according to the English standard OF value.
and the duties being levied on the m at ours,
the amount received by Government, in fact,
is 10 or IL per cent. less than it was intended
to be, and the protection to the manufacturer
is go much less than it appears to be.
we canrot admit that the circumstances of
the country are less favorable for the manu-
facture Of wool than of cotton. II is said that
we TaIse the cottOn-yet the expense of
freight from the Southern States is about as
great as il is TO Europe; whereas the wool
may be raised in the very neighborhood where
it is wrought. No country is better adapted
to the growth Of wool, and, in ordinary times.
no article pays so good profit TO the cultiya
tor. No other stock requires so small a capi-
tai, and no other branch of husbandry so lit
tie labor. We look forward with confidence
to the time as not far distant when wool will
be near as important a staple Of the Northern
and Middle, as cotton now is Of the Southern
States. So profitable is its cultivation that
Spain and Portugal find it to their Interest to
raise it for expectation, and receive our pro-
visions in return. Such a lesson as this te ach-
es ought not to be lost upon us. We may, il
we choose, save to ourselves the whole a
mount OF the expense of exporting the pro
visions which they take, and of importing the
wool received in return, and we ought to do
it.

The lynx is called the wild cat in al
most all parts of New-England. but
these animals belong TO different spe-
cies, and it may be doubted whether
the latter is ever found 10 the northern
States. The wild cat is Of the same
species with the domestic cat, and has a
long tail. The lynx has longer legs
than the wild cat, its size is that of q
middling dog, and its tail is only FIVE or
six inches in length. All the wild cats.
so called, that we ever saw or heard Of
