SUMMARY.

South Carolina concludes TO think twice before
refusing her share CT the land distribution. The
first resolution, declaring that the state would not
take cert Of 1t, has been modified so as to i'm
port that she will not take any. She is evidently
returning To sanity.
Rev. John Gridley, recently of Otsego, NY,
has been installed as pastor Of the first Consrega-
tional church in Montpelier.
The Albany Advertiser presents Luther Brad
ISL as candidate for next Governor of N. York.
The Indictments found by the Grand Jury of
Philadelr Aa against Nicholas Bdde and others,
for populations. while connected with The u. s.
Bank of Pennsylvania, have been quashed by an
unanimous opinion Of the court OF common ses-
siDIs.
Look out-The Postmaster General has re-
Gently issued circular, strictly for5iddng the
practice Of writing oven a word upon the margin
of newspaper.
Protected States.-Tbe STATES of MARYLAND,
VI chigan, Indiana and Illinois failed 10 pay the
interest due on their bonds on the 1st of January
Trial Of the Rev. Mr.. Fan Z midi. An extra
Rochester paper gives the result of this trial for
the seduction, by Mr.. /. T., Of Miss Sophia
Murdoch. After an absence Of fur hours, the
Jury reiu ned Yerd CT for the plaintiff Of $4,000.
The opening of the great Western Rail Road
from Boston TO Albany has been celebrated by
mutual visits between the municipal authorities
OF Boston and Albany, performed by conveyance
over Il G road.
Internal improvement in the U. SidteS.-It
is not more than twenty -four years since the
canal of n. York was commenced, and it is
not fifteen years since the railroad lines have
been commenced in an extensive manner
The following is the astonishing amount in
the U. States:
lst.-Of canals, there are finished about
$500 miles.
OF those canals the largest part, near three
fourths, are in the states of PENNSYLVANIA, N.
York and Ohio.
2d.-Of railroads there are no less than
1900 miles finished, or nearly so. They
have therefore already exceeded in length the
canals. The largest amount of railroads are
IN the States of PENNSYLVANIA, New York,
Georgia and Massachusetts.
The longest railroads in the U. States. or
IN the world, is (the greater part in operation
and the whole nearly fnished.) from Ports
mouth, n. H., to Boston, and from Boston
through Albany, Utica, and Rochester TO Buff
falo. This road is more than 600 miles in
length, and the whole distance will be ira
versed comfortably and cheaply in less than
two days.
The next longest is from the Potomac river
through Richmond, Petersburgh and Raleigh,
to Wilmington, n. c. Thus there are in the
United States more than eight thousand miles
equivalent to the diameter of the earth) in
railroads and canals.
These are the work of 90 years, and have
cost aboat Sl6O,OOO,0OO. No country on
earth. ancient or modern, can produce any,
thing in physical achievements at all compa-
rable to this, The monuments of Egypt are
nothing in the scale, and the brazen columns
Of Napoleon become insignificant Cine.

"TRY AGAIN.

We have so frequently pointed out the
gross ignorance of the young editor of
the patriot" that we had almost come to
the conclusion we would drop him and
try no more to instruct him; but he made
such pal pable error in his last that we
feel constrained to "try again" to put him
right. Not long since he headed an arti-
Gle respecting some secondhand clothing
with "Heave Ho" In the last patriot
he remarks of the senior editor of the
Times, that "for the last few weeks he has
been sailing to leewdrd;" the article is headed
"try again." but for Gods sake Billy never
try your sea phrases again. Don't you
know that vessel can't sail TO "leepard'
any more than Grab can walk straight
forward. When vessel is going to ''lee-
ward" she is drifting out of her course.

The opponents Of the protective policy
have never controverted the right of Gov

made in the form of Revenue Tariff or

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE BRIT.
ISH TARIFF.

The notifications proposed by Sir Rob-
ert Peel in the tariff system of Great
Britain, have been submitted under the ex-
pectation that the income tax law about to
be enacted would produce surplus of rev.
enue to the amount Of G1,sO0,OO0. The
estimates of expenditures for the year
ending April, ls4l, amount to G5O,sl9,OOo,
without including some eight hundred
thousand pounds that will be required for
the increased expenses of the war in
China. The surplus above named, how
ever, was calculated in view of this extra
item. But the news of the late disasters
in Affghanistan had not reached London
when the estimates were made, and il is
quite probable that when the additional
expenditures are calculated, which will be
required to renew and prosecute the war
in that quarter, the surplus of the British
| financier will disappear entirely. In that
case it may be presumed that no changes
will be made in the tariff laws-or, if any,
that they will be made, not to sink sur
plus which will not exist, but to increase
the revenue if practicable.
Some of the present changes if made,
would be favorable to the agricultural in
terests of our Western States Thus the
duty on bacon was to be reduced from %
shillings per cwt. to fourteen shiings---a
reduction of one half; sailed beef and
pork, which now pay twelve shillings.
were to pay under the new schedule eight
shillings per cwt. But the course of the
trade in those articles, if it would be profit.
able at all under these duties, would not
be carried on directly-but through Can
-, ,,oI.
For while bacon shipped from the United
States would pay fourteen shillings as
above stated, the same article from a Brit
ish colony would pay only 3s. Cd. per
cwt. Sailed pork and beef, paying as a
product of the United States eight shil-
lings, would be charged, if imported from
British province, only tvo slillings per
c,Ot.
Under the new management, then, as
proposed, large quantities of sailed beef
and pork would 60 from our North West
ern States into Canada to be there shipped
to England in British vessels-and in that
way some benefits would be derived to
the producer in those States. But our
shipping interests would not participate
to the advantages of such trade.
We have not alluded to wheat and -four
in connection with the proposed tariff of
Sir Robert Peel, because those articles are
not included in it. He has submitted a
modification of the sliding scale of duties
in place of the existing corn lawsuit
that is separate measure. Nor does it
hold out any advantage to the American
agriculturist that can be securely relied
on. And we must again express the doubt
whether any of the proposed reductions,
recommended on the probability Of sur
plus revenue, will be actually made since
the probability is very strong that there
will be no surplus. American.
