are arranged between the u. States and Eng
land, gains currency.
This is the essence of the intelligence by

The CROPS IN SouTH ALABAMA.--The He.
raid Of The 10Th inst. PUBLISHED at Marion, Ala.
says ave shall be able to export corn to

"THE BIG TARIFF rAssED"-Under this
caption the Globe of the 18th mentions that
this measure was carried through on the day
previous.
1t will be seen that the present bill repeats
the pruyiso in the Distribution Act, by which
it was made a condition that, in case the du-
ties on any articles should at any time be
raised to exceed 90 per cent, the distribution
should cease, and the land funds be restored
to the Treasury of the. Union.
The duties under the present bill more than
double the 90 per cent. of the Compromise
Act-the duties are raised above 20 per cent,
and the conditional clause of the Distribution
Act repealed.
