1898, on the Tariff, to be constitutional, expedi-
ent, and harmless to the Southern States, or any
other Of our sister States.
Resotped, &c. That our Senators in Congress be
instructed, and our Representatives requested
to accede to and support such measures as those
that are contemplated by the law of 1898, on

Niles King has been elected, by triumphant
majority, to represent the Borough of Norfolk in
the Virginia House of Delegates in the room of
Mr.. Grigsby the late member. Mr.. King, it will

Brasd-The brig Louisiana, Patton, has ar
rived at Baltimore, in thirty-nine days from Rio
de Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 10Th March.
The Editors of the American are indebted to the
kindness of a commercial friend for the use of
letters to the 18th, extracts from which will be
found below. BY this arrival the melancholy
intelligence is received of the death of WILLIAM
TUDOR, Charge d'AHairs of the United States at
the Brazilian Court. A postscript to a letter

taking into consideration parcels that may be

markets in this neishborhpod are as dull as this.
and over supplied in proportion, the imprudence
of such speculation will be visited with heavy
loss. We Can but regret this circumstance
and at the same time lament that the
the frequent cautions which we have given against
imprudent and excessive shipments, should have

or augmentation in supply, neither of which can
be looked for for some months. The loss on re-
turns may be as much or more than that on i'm
ports.
We hope shipments to this quarter may have
been suspended ere this gets to hand, and we
will observe that the rule of shipping on bad adj
vices, which is maxim with many persons, will
lead to further losses if generally acted on
