BaINGINe GOALS TO NEwcAsrLE.-l learned on
Change to-day, from one of the consignees that the
packetship ST. Patrick, which cleared at Liverpool
on the Goth October, has on board 1000 bushels OF
potatoes, which they offer to sell at 67s cents per
bushel. Ii any person disputes it, let them call
upon the consgnees, at To Wall street. Our tariil
on Irish potatoes is a specific duty of about ten
cents per bushe, while the British duty is only
pence, or cents, per bushel. The English bushel
Of potatoes weighs 80 lbs., which makes about two
Of our bushels
claim to know what an "average" mcans--the
'Commcrcia !" and its correspondent "Candid," TO
the contrary Notwithstanding, Had "Candid" pos
sessed an ''aperage share Of eandor and frankness
he would not have stated a proposition to convey a
meaning for an t6Sci which facts did not bear out
The dulles he said, the home paiaiion Of imports,
did not reach 80 per cent acreage Of 80 per cent
When reminded that free articles bore no dulles and
drawback goods only % per cent, which should be
deducted from the Sl20000,000 of imports before
average duties should be struck, the Commercial,
for "Candid," claims to make an acreage of duties
on tea, coffee, &c--subject to no duties at all
When pushed to the wall, bubble is made on the
word "aperage"
The truth is, the "aperage" duties come nearer to
40 or As per cent than to 80 per cent. This Can
did" can easily ascertain by deducting the home raj
ualion of all free articles, and all debenture goods,
less q per cent, from the Sl2O,oooOoo worth OIL
imports, ana then strike nm average ior the EN-
der. In such caicuat'oh, tne "Coimnerciai WI,
find an "average" OF something over 20 per cent: !

The "Courrier DIES Etats unis,' OF this DAY gives
a long editorial on the subject OF Oregon, which
may find time to allude to IN my next
The "Albon' also discusses this question:; quotes
from the "Courier and Enquirer" and comments
on the opinions of the "umon"-which It calls me
"Giobe." 1t also publishes an extract from Mf.
Websters speech.
The Albion is an English republication, Illus
trated with editorial remarks, which have usually
been written with much apillty, lorce, ana mouera-
ton. 1t, ofcourse comedies with the leading wing
views on this subject II publishes defence OF
England in reference to Texas annexation; quoting
from Mr.. Terrels speech, made at public dinner
recently gwen To him IN galveston, lexas, IN con-
frmation of its views.
The Albion considers Indian corn very suitable
and valuable food for the poor and thinks the best
way to overcome prejudlces against its use is to
give it away at first to the needy Il thinks cakes
made from Indian meal more palatable and nourisf-
ing than the Oatmeal cakes King Alfred attended to
the baking of when living disguised IN SomerseshIre
Il states that MIR. Esco't, M. r., has gwen notice
Of his intention of moving, in the next session of
Parliament, for the complete abolition OF all duty
on Indian corn.
