FOREIGN NEWS.

The Great Western lately arrived at
New York, bringing intelligence up 10 the
29ih ult. There is nothing of Importance in
the way of news. The comments of the Eng
fish Press upon the annexation of Texas, the
Oregon question and the Presidents Inaugural,
are of some interest, and we make some ex-
tracts.
Parliament had adjourned for the Easter hol
idays. There had been much debate both up
on the Texas and Oregon questions, and as
much, or even more in the public press, Than
in parliament. The English taif also formed
subject OF very grave discussion amoug the
business men in the Kingdom.
The Cotton market was a little depressed
notwithstanding the abolition OF the Cotton
duties. The cause is TO be found in the fact
that an abundant crop, it was expected would
be added to the large stock on hand Specua-
ton in the article appeared TO be nearly at an
end.
The demand for American Beef and Pork
had been tolerably productive during the last
two weeks in March. but the supply has been
mainly for ships stores and for expiration.
Lard, in barrels and kegs, moves oil slowly, al
belt The price of the article has induced remu-
nerating profit.
There has been some little doing in American
Securities, but the state of doubt which still
hangs over them will remain until the fate of
the August dividends of the Pennsylvania
bonds is known. In Pennsylvania stock large
purchases have been made at 69i TO 10, and
the price will continue to improve, If it is
found that the dividends are regularly paid.

| Tariff of The United States.-The Earl OF
Clarendon inquired what means had been taken
to obtain redress for certain merchants who
complained, as he conceived justly, of the loss
| inflicted on them by change made some time
ago in the tariff of the United States. Under
the Goth section of the new tarih, agreed 10 or
the 26th of August, 1912, goods coming from
England, which were shipped before the impo-
sition of new duties was known, were exposed
to ruinious duties, to the extent Of 80 to l0C
per cent on silk goods and 100 per cent on cot
ton goods. Goods that had come from the
Eastward of the Cape were subjected to much
lower dnties. Now, this he considered to be
an infracton of the treaty Of the United States
which provided, among other things, that nc
duty should be imposed on goods from Eng
land higher than was imposed on goods coming
from any other country. BY the change a sin
!, ole house in Glasgow had lost G3000, and the
total loss by the British merchants is estimated
at 92OO, 900. The Americans appeared fully
alive to the importance of the treaty wherever
it was in their favor for they have insisted OF
the repayment of the amount of duties Levied
on their rice by US in excess OF that levied OF
the rice from the coast of Africa.
The Earl of Aberdeen replied, that the cast
had the attention OF Governments; but neithe
the representations of Mr. Fox, the late Minis
ter at Washington, nor Of Mr. Pakenham, hi
successor, had as yet met with the attention
they deserve.
