THE TARIFF BILL. After a long and pro-
tracted discussion, the tariff bill, as amended,
has been ordered to third reading by vote of
100 to 81. The friends of the protective sys-
TEN strove long and zealously to obtain such
notifications of the original bin as would afford
reasonable protection to the manufacture of
wool. In this they failed The duties imposed
on INDEPENDENTLY the coarse kinds, such as
are not raised in this country-are so high as
to take away the protection which the duties
on cloth would otherwise give. With many,
this was an insurmountable objection to the
bill, believing that it was better to pass no bill
now, but trust to the chance of getting better
one at the next session of Congress. OF the
thirteen members from this State, Crowninshield
and Dwight, were the only ones who voted in IA
vor of passing the bill to a third reading. The
duty on molasses is fixed at ten cents per gallon.

ton to the present duty. The provisions in re-
