Every nation ought not 10 be indepsnd.

THE COON TARIFF.

The following, which shows the Of
fects Of the late Whig tarif, iS from the
money articlo Of the New York Herald
of the 10Th inst:
The business Of the city is fair, ant
stocks show q disposition 10 agaia ad-
vance. The Temporary check given b
the rise Of foreign bills; causing aPpFe
heDSiOn Of . scarcity Of money, is pass
ing away. The sctiVity Of business, 1hul
fat, has been just sufficient TO raise Pri-
cSs from their extreme depression, and
TO give effect to the oppression Of the tar
it, The 6rst passage Of that mOnStrous
bill, cauSsda complete slagnatiOn. Of
trade, and prices fell in consequence Tu.
inOusly low. They have now 90 far 70.
COUOred % to feel the weight Of the high
duties, and the impression is general, that
there can be no extended business until
the oppressive features Of that bill are re-
moved. The cash duties, without Ware-
housing privileges, fall with crushing
weight upon merchants Of small capital
So genera is the evil, and 90 loud the
complaint, that even the most reckless
and unprincipled Of the political prints,
with whom protection" has been the
TdIlying cry, are forced to back oqt. The
Courier and EuquiSr Of Friday, remarked
a. follows: ..
"The existing tariff is, in eur opinion,
in very many Of lie provisions, too ul-
tra for any Of the legitimate purposes
which caused its adoption. !"
-; We hava
said before, and we now repeat, that a
tariff Oftwenty per cent. ad vaIOrum on
each and every article imported into the
country, with th0 exception Of wOOllsna
and iron, would yield IN abundance Ol
revenue at the same time that it would
afford all protection that any interest in
the country requires. .Wollens may require
at present protection Of twenty Eve pei
cent, and We would therefore give
il"
How great must the evil be, when the
most reckless Ofthe organs Of the party
which imposed this tariff, cOnieSSeS that
there 10 no recourse, but 10 60 back 70
the lowest grade ofIhe compromise act,
viz: "hOrizOntal'' duty Of 90 per cent.
The present tariff averages IS So per
cent, aud wOIIsns pay SO per cent. The
people have now aScertained that thess
duties muAt be cut down Ose half!!-
Such is ever the case when experiment
il substituted for principle.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.

Extract from Mr.. Weeds Letters.1

MEL This is to London what the Croton
Water Works are to New York, the great
achievement of the 10Th century. There
is nothing at either entrance of the Tun.
AeL. which indicates that you are in the
vicinity Of this extraordinary Improve
ment. We passe d over it in steamer in
the morning, without being aware that
other masses of fsllOw-beings were quiz
etly walbing through a subterranean pas
sage below US! The visitor is directed
This way to the Tunnel 0@r' BY board
on the corner of the. street. You descend
winding stone stairway 100 steps, and
On ter INTO the Tunnel, which is well
lighted withigas, aud afforded US a cOOl,
pleasant walk. after four hours exposure
to the sun. The Tunnel has two ave-
nues, each wide enough To allow l2 or
l6 persons to walk abreast. Half way
through, a printing press is Stationed "By
Royal Authority" which is throwing OF
sheets: containing an account of the TUns
mel. | told the man | would purchase
two Of his sheets provided he would ais
low me TO spull's them myself. This, up
on learning that | knows the ropes at

therefore,, an account of the Thames
Tunnel, printed by myself standing mid
way hatwsenthe London aud Surry 81 des
of the river, seventy feet below its bed
with steamers and ships passing directly
o7er my head!
The tunnel is two miles below London
Bridge, where another bridge, which was
much wanted, would have proved seris
ously injurious TO the immense CONS
merce of the Metropolis. In 1928, aner
the failure and abandonment of several
plans for tunnelling the Thames, one was
