TIE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF DUTIES by
GREAT BRITAIN.

Sir Robert Pees proposition TO reduce the revenue
duties on certain articles imported into Great Britain,
TO which allusion was made in Foreign pub
lshcd last week. and brought by the Cambria, shows
the shrewdness of the British Statesmen in
affecting their interests The removal of duties is
be upon such things are not abundantIy produced
there, while the duties to remain high upoi such
as they can produce. Cotton produced only sparing
" in Indiu is to be admitted free while other ar
cies are taxed even as high 400 per cent The
object of the reduction Of the duties upon cotton
which are very light now-s TO give the manufacture
of it to their manufacturers. The foreign cores.
pondent of the Y. Eve Post audes to this thus
"The removal of duty from cotton wool will be
agreeable tn the United States; but il is done in COM
pIinnce with the urgent demands of the manufacture
here and not with any view, of course, TO benefit
you. English policy is not so very dsinerestedly be-
nevolent. Whether the aboring, halt. starved poor
of England will gain at all by these alterations in the
Tariff policy remains to be but certain il is they
will make the rich rcher.'
The London correspondent Of the Boston Atlas al
luding to the same subject, says
"Sr Robert finds that by taking off this duty, Brit
ish manufacturers compete in South Americn,
China, and other places, with the now formidable
competition from the Americans. When the duty is
taken off wool, the coarse qualities Of coons
can probably be manufactured in England at less
price than the same descriptions be made in the
United States, after freight Of cotton, and other
charges, are added to the cost in the English market
but the better qualities OF American will still have
the preference in foreign markets, and will afford
greater profit to tho manufacturer, than the
qualities of British goods.'
Such is the governing policy in the reductions pro-
posed by Robert Peel-all having special reference
to the increase Of the business Of the nation and
aid her in competing in foreign markets with other
nations. The coarse woods Of Spain and South Amer
lea it is proposed, believe, to treat in the
manner, and thus give the manufacture Of them to
British manufacturers

SOMETHING OF TRICK. Washington City
became populous with applicants for Office after
Mr. Polk reached il. They were quite too plenty for
the offices at his disposal, Some of the more
ming ones procured of official announcement in
Polk puper there to the effect that those applicants
who left for home and ceased pressing their claims
would stand a better chance Of than those
who should remain. Whereupon the green ones
turned their backs upon the City and went home
But who got the Offices? Why, those that remained
upon the foot stool Of the White lIouse-just as they
meant to when they made the announcement
'"rExAs AND SLAVERY. II is worthy OF re-
mark, that of the 25 Senators who voted against the
annexation of Texas. ~ from the slave States.
If annexation designed to benefit exclusively
Southern institutions, would these Senators have vo-
ted against it? Such superstition is hardly reason

And these IL from Slave States all Wings,
and many Wings oE the South as well as all at the

Star has not noticed probably the remark Of Senator
Rives in debating the Texas question that he OPP
posed the extension of Slavery, and also of another
Wing Senator-Crtte Of Ky.-Ilenry Clays
right hand man--of SIMILAR import. Whatever of
glory pertains to the Perpetuation and extension Of
slavery in the U. States must be shared between

A FACT OR TWO FOR TIE PORTLANDERS.
We have noticed table in the Portland Advertiser EN-
bracing the towns through which the Portland r. r. is
expected to pass from Portland to the Canadian line
and the number Of inhabitants and u comparison with
the inhabitants Of the towns on the Concord ronte
in which the number of inhabitants on the for
mer is made to exceed those on the latter However
incorrect this may be is Of consequence now ;bu
in looking AT the census of 1910 it will be seen that
the products and the value Of the products Of Gale
donna Country alone exceed those of Oxford County
Me, BY about 90 per cent. Oxford County, will
be noted, must furnish about all the business for
road which can be had between Portland and the
line ~ Hampshire and Vermont, on that route
might furnish much, perhaps, the frontier town
of Derby on the Concord The Concord route also
passes through part OF Merrmack and the whole ex
tent of Grafton Counties in N II part Of Orange and
the length Of Caledonia and Orleans in this State
Orleans is an excellent County, rapidly increasing in
population and wealth. and in the opinion of many
promises to stand,ere long, one among the best Coun
ties in the State; and we have doubt would pay as
much fare TO Rail Road. per year, as the whole of
Oxford Co. in Me.

BENEFITS OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS. DR..
Jackson has in his survey of N. H. discovered unsus-
pectcd mineral treasures.
In the town of Bartlett there locality consid-
lot an iron mine Of excellent quality of ore, and mex
hausable in amount; it has been sold since for $l0,-
600. In Eaton vein of zinc was dicovercd,
more abundant than that of Bristol, England. The
mine will furnish zinc sufficient to supply all New

character, and in such quantity to warrant mining
cperations contains 81 per cent Of copper, while
the richest ores of Cornwall do not contain than
II per cent In Jackson the first vein Of tin that has
come to light in the United States discovered
the ore is sufficiently abundant to pay for working.
The lead ores of Eaton and Shelburne have been
found to contain sufficency Of silver to warrant
their being wrought for that metal. The lead of Ea-
ton contains two pounds and that Of Sherhune three
pounds TO the ton. The silver may be separated from
the lead without difficulty, by process described ia

there are found in N. IT, II metals, viz: iron. zinc.

we don't believe it, In the first place the party in

little confidence to he placed in such professions when

reasons. The State is in debt nearly mil

PROTEST OF THE MEXICAN MINISTER.

PhOIES ] Ot THE MEXICAN MINISTER,
The following is extract from the Protest made
by GEN ALMoNTE, the Mexican Minister, TO the
Department of State at Washington, against the An.
nexation of Texas to the United States.
The undersigned has the honor to address himself
10 the Hon. Secretary Of State in order 10 manifest
the deep concern with which he has seen that the
President of the United States has given his sigma
ture to law, admitting into this confederacy the Mex
lean province Of Texas.
He had fattered himself that the sound counsels Of
the mos, distinguished citizens, Sc, would have led
TO better result Unhappily it has not been SO, and
against his hopes, and sincere vows, he sees con-
summated on the part OF this government, an act of
aggression the most unjust that modern history re-
cords-thc spoliaton Of friendly nation of consid.
cradle part Of its territory
For these reasons, in obedience to his instructions
he must protest, in the solemn manner, in the
anne of his Government against the law, Sc. He
protests also, that the act in invalidates
the rights of Mexico her province of which
she is so unjustly dspossessed, and that she will
maintain and give effect to those rights, by all the
means within her power.
He also begs that the Secretary will let the Presi-
dent know that, in view Of all these facts, his mission
near this Government terminates from to-day He
consequently begs teat the Hon. Secretary will for.
ward to him his passports, because it is his purpose
