WOOL AND WOOLENS.

In our last we very briefly noticed the bill of ;he
Committee Of Ways and Means. We now give
more particular notice Of the provisions on wool
and wooens.
The frs, section provides a duty of 30 per
rcn,um nd vaorem on unmanuiactured wool eX-
ceedng in value 8 cents pound ; aud per cent
on that of the value of cents or less per pound;
40 per cent on manufactures of wool, except
Competing, flannel HOSIERY sc 65 cents per yard
on Wilton carpets; Is per cent on coarse blank
cts. 30 per cent all other manufactures of
wool on yarn 25 per centum, on caps mts,
&c. 25 per cent flannel IA cents per yard Ready
made clothing SO per cent. 10 per cent. added
on imports in foreign vessels
This bill, like the others, gives apparently
higher protection TO manufactured wool than 10
the raw material. Really, however, the ndvan-
tage is in favor of the wooI-grower, not only for
the plain reasons we have before given, but be-
cause this bill reduces the beueft given to wool
lens by imposing high duties on materials neccs-
sary for manufacturing wool, which are not pro-
duced here. For instance, indigo hears u duty Of
Is cents pound, and olive oil 20 cents gallon.
For protection 10 wool, this bill IS not so good as
Mr.. Salions,all's-bnl both are infinitely better
than the ocoioco policy which is to limit duties TO
90 per cent. aud sacrifice The producers Of The RAW
MATERIAL 10 the corporate interest," As to
woolens, particularly, one radical error pervndes
every bill which has been presented; it is not
that the duties are not high enough, but that no
good security is furnished agoins, frauds This
remark is applicable TO some other articles, hui
particularly to cloths, AS in these there have been
the greatest frauds The thorough examination
of tbs affars Of the New York Custom-House has
led the majority OF the Commissioners to the
opinion that specific duties only will prevent those
immense frauds, which have heretofore almost
totally defeated the protection intended TO be Civ
ell by Congress, aud detrauded the government
of revenue. Either specific duties or home val
uaton must be adopted. Until This evil is rene
died. we have little confidence in any measure o
duties, however high. Indeed, the higher the
duties, without efficient protection against frauds
so much the greater is the temptation to perpe

DECISION IN BANK

Case of Edison ComstOck a bankrupt, in the United
States District Court, before Judge Prentss.
The petitioner applied TO be discharged from
Imprisonment on an execution issued on Iudg-
ment rendered against him by the Supreme Court
of Vermont He alledged that on the Both of
March last after the recovery ofthe Judgment, he
filed his petition in due torn 10 be declared Il
bankrupt, and oil the 24Ih of May was declared a
bankrupt accordingly; that OIL the 4th of April he
was arrested and committed TO Jail on the execu
lion, and still held in custody. Ii appeared
from a copy OF the execution annexed TO the Pc
don, tina. The Judgment was rendered in an ac-
ton founded on tort, the cause OF which was ad-
Judged and certified 10 have accrued from the will
tu and malicious act of the petitioner.
PRENrIss, J. The distinction which has been
insisted upon in this case, between Judgment rem
dered in an action ON tort and judgment rend-
cred in action on contract, is wholly unavalla-
bic as against this application The right OF the
petitioner to be discharged from Imprisonment, 1t
any such right exists, cannot DO affected by any
consideration of that nature. There i no dis
tincion, under the bankrupt law, between ludg-
ment in an action arising er delteio aud Jndg
ment in an action arising er c0nfrdcfu. Ihey are
! both debts within the meaning OF the law, and
both proveable against the estate OF the bankrupt
In this case, the judgment, though rendered in an
! action founded on tort, was rendered before the
! decree OF bankruptcy, and was consequently \
! subsisting debt which might be proved, like any
other subsisng debt, under the bankruptcy, and
like any such debt whether proved or not, will be
! barred by the bankrupts certificate of discharge.
1t is true, thatNby the law of this state, when q
party is committed to jail on an execution issued
