gave to your excellency, IN my communication OF the
Oath ultmo, have caused a careful inquiry TO be
made into the circumstances attending The death of
Sue Amsn, the result of which have now the honor
to lay before your excellency.
1t appears by sundry dispositions taken before the
American consul, as well as by other information
have received, that the commencement of the affair
was wanton and unproyoked attack on the English
made by sundIy Chinese, while the former were
peaoeaby and quietly engaged within their own
grounds, on the afternoon OF the 18Th of June.
At this time the foreigners were not armed: and
they were compelled, by the great number of brick
bats and stones thrown at them to fee from the gar
den, and take refuge in boats on the water for the
preservation Of their lives.
Emboldenej, il v ould SEEM by their success on
this occasion, the same other Chinese on The sue
ceeding afternoon, entered the American garden and
proceeded 10 commit acts of wanton violence and nm
provoked insults on the Americans.

The anti-protective papers have betaken them
selves to the singular business of praising the
policy Of Sir Robert Peel, especially in having
proposed to relieve some four hundred articles Of
import duty.
Nothing could be more untrue than to attribute
this apparent change Of policy to even a tempo
rary abandonment Of the protective principle. As
any person can see by examination. nearly every
article thus relieved Of duty is used in the process
OF manufacturing, and is not produced in En-
gland. None ofthem, in the least. come into RI
vairy with British products; but all of them, on
the other hand, essential to the prosperity Of
British manufactures. The change in the Tariff,
therefore, is for the express benef, of this branch
OF British industry; and is far directly hostile
TO Inc American manufacturing system.
In the very speech in which he developed his
new financial scheme, Sir Robert Peel renewed
the assurances he had before given, that he had
no intention of abandoning protection. The Corn
Laws, of which protection to British Agriculture
Is the greatest object. continued. and the Pre-
mier has repeatedly declared that they shall not
be abandoned. These laws must forever shu,

u The New-York correspondent of the Ma
tlona intelligencer, under date of the 25th, says
An extraordinary casualty occurred in our city
last evening, by which five persons lost their lives.
blacksmith named Duvall, who kept shop in
charlton street, had received among some old
iron, which he had purchased, bomb-shell,
which had been found with others buried in the
sand near Sandy Hook, where it is supposed to
have lain ever since the last war. Finding it fill
ed with a combustible composition, Mr.. Duvall
undertook to loosen it with stick and empty the
contents. Either from the friction of the wood
or from ignition caused by spark struck from
the iron of his boot-heels, combustion instapane-
onsly followed, attended with the most calamitous
results. He was blown almost to fragments. Mr..
Price, builder, who had accidentally stopped to
speak to Duval, was also killed. Two boys,
who happened TO be passing, were thrown some
feet into the air; one was picked up lifeless, and
the other died soon afterwards. A boy, who was
apprenticed to Duvall, is believed to have been
among the victims; and horse Standing near the
curbstone was killed. Considerable damage was
done to surrounding houses by the explosion. 1t
Is rumored to-day that the bonsb-shell, which has
produced such widespread mischief was one

THE COTTON DUTY.

The abolition of the cotton duty by Great Bril-
tam affords decided triumph over the free tra-
ders in two respects. First, il is the greatest in
stance yet exhibited to show the sagacity and
wisdom OF the American system-and, in the Sc.
cond place, the effect upon the cotton market
shows that the duty is not all paid by the consun-
er. Cotton has already advanced here /; and when
the tariff scheme of Sir Robert Peel is accom-
piished, Will perhaps experience a further adj
vance. Certainly the proposed abolition of the
duty gives additional spirit to the market, and
mas already advanced the price ;-therefore, it is
clear mat the consumer does not pay all the duty
but that it is divided between the producer and
the consumer.
The American producer will share the abolished
duty with the English manufacturer, and for this
he is indebted to the Wing tariff of '42. Had
this country not taken the stand as it then did
with regard to its tariff policy, the cotton duty
would not now be taken off. The British Minister
openly avowed that the reason for repeating the
duty was that the British manufacturer might be
the better able 10 maintain successful COMPETE
ZION with the American, who was fast getting the
trade IN certain markets away from him.
All that our country has to do is to keep her
position, and not surrender the ground she has
gained. If she does this, WHY we must continue
70 advance. Great Britain may abolish the duty
20 enable her the better to compete with us but
taat won't do. Her manufacturers, as it is seen
cannot get the advantage Of the whole of that du-
W. OUT must divide 1t with the producer. They,
too, are from habits and customs ong-pursued,
ana oid-style machinery, long-tried and which
IL Is diHcult TO throw away and supply with
new, less in the way of improvement than are
our manufacturers, who are going rapidly for
ward with their new machinery, increasing skill,
and lndomitable energies. The American manu-.
iacturers are spurred onward by all the force Of
enthusiasm and industry of young nation with
the brightest prospects, who, in the dawn as i,
lS do Tho riu &c, a.,
most powerful kingdoms on earth in all the arts
OF peace The British kept comparatively
stationary living in an old country, which has
reached, we may say, the very acme OF its power
and circumscribed by the habits and notions
which they will be slow to surrender, and by
modes and implements Of manufacture which are
not likely at all to keep pace with the inventions
and the facilities which the sagacious and ingen-
loas Yankees are constantly bringing to theil
aid.-Richmond Compiler.
