The New MEXICAN TARIFF. The new
Mexican Tariff has been made public. We
learn from the U. S. Gazette, that it goes into
operation on the LIST of February. There is no
essential change required in the clearances of
vessels in Foreign ports. They are still requir-
ed to observe all previous acquisitions. All,
and only the present ports open TO foreign
commerce shall remain as such. The same
goods which now are free of duty, shall remain
so, in whatsoever vessel they may be imported.
The importation of large number of articles
remain entirely prohibited-among them SUI
gar, coffee rice, butter, moasses, bacon, grain,
flour, tobacco, SC. Articles not mentioned in
the prohibited list are to pay at the rate Of 80
per cent. ad valorcm, except where the duty is
specified,
DEATH OF JONAS GREEN, ESQ. The Anna
polls Star announces the death of Jonas Green,
Esq, after lingering illness Of several years,
at the age of &C. Mr. Green was for many
years the editor and proprietor of the "Mary-
land Gazette" the first newspaper printed in
the Province of Maryland, and the second, we
believe, printed in the North American colo
MES and which, up to the time of his affection,
had attained nearly its hundredth year. His
dignfed manner Of conducting that valuable
journal is an example worthy Of the closest
imitation by newspaper editors Of the present
day. He was practical printer, and gener-
Gus md hlgh-minded citizen, universally re-
spccted by men of all parties.

The following melancholy story is in the
New York correspondence Of the Philadel-
phia Post. 1t is indeed dark shade in
the character Of city life:
"a aoounded spirit wio can bcar."-
Some few years since, TWO Interesting and
accomplished young French ladies' arrived
in this country, one Of them as governess
in the family al an opulent merchant, re-
turning from Paris. She remained with
them for term Of years, and her sister
was employed as a French teacher in a
fashionable Female Seminary up town
Time passed and they reached mature life
and by change Of position or loss Of friends
they were compelled 10 resort 10 reedie
work, having hired couple Of rooms in u
house beyond the censely populated por
ton of the city. They became very poor
but with the peculiar tact of French ladies
delcacy led them to conceal the fact from
friends, who would mos, cheer(uly hav,
rendered them any pecuniary aid. A few
Gays since, gentleman received an anon
ymous mole, probably written by some on,
who suspected their painful situation, sta
ting that these ladies' were in state OF
extreme des.i,uiion, and one Of them was
dead!
He Immediately went TO their obscure
home in the upper part Of The city, and the
truth flashed over his mind, that these re
fined, shrinkingiy delicate women had suf-
fered from absolute want, without even an
intimation Of it TO the family who occupied
the other portion of the house. The sur
viving one was in delicate health, very
much emacia,ed and heart broken at the
loss. of her sister. Every aid was render
ed and attempts were made to- soo'he the
bleeding wounds of the survivor. But she
wns almost inconsolable, and although her
self much emaciaied and very feeble, she
refused to be comloried.
Arrangements were at once made for the
funeral, and on the afte moon Of the succeed
ing day, number of families wen, ont in
their carriages, determined to take the sur
wing sister TO one of their sump:uous man
SONS. Their amazement my we'll be con-
ceived, when arriving at the now lonely home
Of these accomplished, and once beautiful
girls, to find that the remaining sister rcas
also dead! Want had produced exhaustion
grief had aided the work Of death, and when
one sister had died, the full heat of the
other was broken with anguish, and DO h
were laid in the same grave. This is 70
fiction. 1t is solemn fact. and only another
dark shade in the character or city life.
