THE AMERICAN TARIFF.

We extract the following from a long and inter-
esting letter in the Nottingham Review, by Mr..
RoBEwr GoopAcRE, who has recently returned
from the United States, where he had been soiOurn
ing for four years, and whom many of our readers
will rccoIect as the deiverer Of seares of ingenious
Lectures Astronomy. i'll Sheffield, previous to his
departure to America.
!. The effect of the Tariff on the trade of Great
Britain will! it is Justly feared, be highly injurious,
but tic injury will be more severely felt in some
districts than in others. The coarse goods of Leeds
and Manchester will be almost excluded from the
I American Market. Birmingham already suffers
( much but it is the opinion Of many that the du-
ties on iron will be revised at the ensuing session.
! nottingham and Sheffield will, probably, not be
much affected. 1t always appeared to me that
these two branches of trade would be amongst the

British Manufacturer, than the quality of the article
imported. 1t is common saying in Western Anne
rica that garment of British cotton will weigh
twice as much before it goes to the laundress, as
when it returns. That in fact every square yard
purchased, contains as great weight in paste, gum
and other ingredients, forced by the powerful by
draulic presses of Lancashire. between the inter.
stces of the cloth, as of cloth itself. Hence, the
Rhode Island cottons, though higher in price and
coarscr in appearance were making their way pow
erlul'y. among the foreign goods, even before the
passing of the Tariff. There several circum-
stances also, which cause this to be more severely
felt in America, than with US. A loafof bread is Of

SRI authorize You to state that the paragraph
which appeared in the Times and some other Lon
don papers, a few days since, purporng 70 give
detail of my intended proceedings, and which was
copied from the Scotsman newspaper, published in
Edinburgh, was given TO the public without my
knowledge, and that it is incorrect 10 some imp0r-
tant particulars. The object Of the meeting be-
tween the clergy and myself. in April next in the
city of Cincinnati, state Of Ohio, in the United
States. is not to discuss the truth faseheod Ok

but to ascertain the errors in all religions, which
prevent them from being eficacous in practice.
and to bring out all that is really valuable in each,
leaving out their errors, and thus to form from them
| collectively religion wholly true and consistent,
that it may become universal, and be acted upon
conscientously BY all.
Neither is tiny intention to remove finally from
this country as stated in the Scotsman. On the con-
trary, have purposely made arrangements to be.
without Inconvenience. in any part of the world IN
which my earnest endeavours to ameorate the pre-
sent condition of society shall appear to be the most

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.

The inhabitants of Worcester have been
highly gratified by visit, recently paid to the
town by the First Light Infantry Company OF
Providence under the command of Capt. Field
They arrived ON board the new Canal Boat In
dependence on Friday morning last, joined in
the celebration on Saturday, and remained in
town till Monday morning, when they again
departed for Providence. The whole appear
ance of the company,-their correct discipline
when in the field, and their gentlemanly deport-
ment when dlsbanded was such as to COM
mand our respect toward them, both as citi-
zens and soldiers. The excellence of the band
of music which accompanied them, was sub
ject of universal remark and commentator.
On Monday morning, i'll accordance with an
invitation from Gen. Heard; they repaired to
his house, and, together with mdny of the citi-
zens, partook of refreshments provided by him.
They were then accompanied to the wharf by
large concourse of citizens, and their depar-
ture was announced by the firing of salute
and the cheers of the crowd assembled on the
occasion. Our best wishes accompany them,
and we trust their visit will tend to promote
the feelings of mutual good will and good
neighborhood now growing up between the
place of their residence and this town. K.
