The TARIFF AND TRADK.-By a table of imports
and duties Of the port of New York. from Dec l, to
April 10, published in recent Washington Union, it
appears that the imports since the new tariff has been
in operation have exceeded those of the same period
last year by more than S70OO,0O0. or % per cent,
and of this large amount four and quarter millions
hare been specie. In this import table, it appears
that the amount of duties received by the government
is $50 ,527 less than last year. If however, to this
sum of the receipts Of this year add the $751;
due on goods in bond the custom revenues ac-
cruing in the four and half months ending April l6
l547, will exceed those Of the period last year
Sll5,OOO, notwithstanding that large amount Of
specie was imported Facts like these show the ri-
umph of low dutes and will soon illustrate the mean

Col. BowLEs.-We publish in this paper several
letters from the army, in which the conduct of Col.

We shall continue to present the evidence as it
to hand, leaving the public make up their verdict
when they shall have heard the whole. With the
public, we shall claim to be an integral part and shall
desire to be heard accordingly. Should majority be
against our conclusions they will decide, of course
1t may not be improper here to stste that we have
read paragraph in of Col. Bowles's letters,
wherein he almost directly charges Gen. Lane with
cowardce! Such charge is totally absurd with
those who know Gen. Lane, and goes far in our opin-
ion, to show something wrong in Col. Bowles.
