Essex Ounty Court last week, an incident oc-
cured which excited deep sensation through
out The Court room. The history Of the case
in which it originated is thus stated III the .Ad- ,
vcrtisCr:
A mother had visited her daughter, then :
married two years, whom she had not seen for |
some time, having been forbidden by her hus- ,
band to enter his house, in consequence Of some |
family ieud. During this visit of her mother !,
the husband returned home and found her |
grandchildren on her lap. lie Immediately |
ordered her to leave his premises; the daughter /
experimenting trouble, seized her child and eN
the room. The mother not leaving as rapidly
as was desired. brother of the husband used
some unin~ti6ablc violence towards her, which
was the foundation Of the Indictment for As
sanlt and Battery. On this trial the mother
had given her testimony, detailing with much
emotion her treatment. and giving utterance
to her maternal grief in being denied all inter
course with her daughter, whom she had not
been permitted to sec since the occasion ofthe
above visit and violent treatment, which was in
March last Her situation excited tho sympa-
thy orall in attendance, and the anguish ola
mothers heart could not be suppressed. After
the examination had closed, the daughter was
next introduced as u witness from remote
! part of the Court room. It was soon manifest.
cd that she had canrht the contagion Of her mo.
,ler's rriof and it was in vain she exertcd her

ic duty, and forty per cent. ad vaorem. Surely
this interest has just claim to the consideration
OF Congress- Wool is Il raw material Of vast i'm
portance in national point of view. Since the ex-
perlence Of the last wat, when we found ourselves
dependent on the enemy for supplies Of clothing,
which were obtained in great measure by illicit
commerce, and furnished only at the most enOr-
nous prices, it has been leading object in our
national policy to render onr country independent
Of foreign nations for articles Of such indispensable
necessity. Ia the opinion Of the committee, the
policy which has encouraged these great agricul-
turul investments, and manufacturing establish
menls in connection with them, ought not TO be
abandoned. They would be sacrificed by simple
ad valorem duty Of thirty per cent. The rates in
the bill reported are-on wool, the value of which
shall exceed eight cents, four cents pound, and
rs per cent nd vnlorcm and onmanufac;ures Of
wool, 40 per cent ad vnlorem. In their opinion,
these interests could not be sustained under lower
rates Of duty. They were no, able to report any
substitute for an nd valorem duty on wooIIens, al
though they were sensible that the manufacturers
have suffered greatly by fraudulen. invoices and
under valuations"
From the above extract we learn that the Com
miltee, so far from extending equal or adequate
protection to the wool grower, propose less rate
OF duty, than was granted under Gen. Jarkson's
administration. The specific duty is the same in
both cases, but the ad valorem rates ave reduced
from 40 TO TWENTY SIX PER CENr-being a
lower protection on wool than was ever before
known 10 exist; while on manufactured wOoens,
fixed duty of FORTY per cent is levied, and
ten per cent additional after the 3Oih Of June lS43
Is it not apparent from the the above facts, that
MI Saltonsall and the gentlemen composing the
Committee, acted from design, md not from error
Ia deep, wifu, settled design to favor the manu-
hcturers!
Is it not equally evident that the Committee nc
ted upon the principle recognized by Mr. Clay,
that Agriculture needs but little protection
And are no. The Wing members Of Congress re-
sponsible for this one sided policy! Did they not
slrenuousy urge the reference Of the subject TO the
Committee on ManuG,clures-vote for that refer
ence-aye, EXULTED AT TT? Then why at
tempt now to throw off the responsibility Then
why offer excuses at once frivolous and huma-
ting
If Mr. Saltonstall's Tariff Bill is not what it
should be, we say, throw i: aside, and substitute
another, less obroxious-but let it not be forgotten
that the Wing members "f Congress are RESPON-
SlBLE for, and must suffer the odium which may
attach TO that Report.

MEMORANDA OF THE RACE BETWEEN

carried l26lbs; Henry only four years old, and
carried lOSlbs, except on the last heat, when the
rider was changed, who weighed ITO. As Tbs
extra weight is considered equal to IA distance of
forty rods on the four miles, Henry had an advan-
tage in weight of sos yards on the score of his
youth The Union Course having previously been
thirty feet over mile, altered II, this race,
TO measure mile with Is inches over. Eclipse

"Napoeon of the Turf" having freely INDUCED in
