the remission of the tax on such portion
thereof, as the vendor shall make atfida.
vii to he the growth, manufacture or pro-
duct of any Southern State, or Of for

their duties towards the slave holding

doubts whether the patriotic framer OF
the bill could explain the modus opcr-
anda Of accomplishing that object i'll The
way he proposes. On the contrary, does
it not appear most reasonable, that it will

additional cost, will induce correspond
ing advance in the price of such articles
which the consumers must pay, and we

ton of ten per cent State tax. We have

The New York Commercial has the fol-
lowing letter from its Washington cor

a part toward this Government which
may terminate in dissolution of our
diplomatic relations. AS / understand
the matter. the Cabinet at Vienna in-
structed the Austrian charge at this
capital, Mr.. Hulsemanii, To represent to
the Administration, that i'll the event OF

ceived and afforded an asylum here. i;
would he cause sufficient, for that Gov
ernment TO withdraw ITS representative.
Accordingly. Mr.. Clayton was officially
informed of the uiilnalum; but before he
had time TO decide upon his course. Mr.
Webster was installed as his successor.
Mr.. Webster was not long III determining
what 10 do. He represented to Mr..
HulSenann, that the refugees of bleeding
Hungary would he received with open
arms, aud that if Austria demanded, his
passport would tie ready at any moment.
Whereupon MIR. H. wrote home for fur
tber instructions. but these not having

The Legislature adjourned on Saturday

The Legislature adjourned on Saturday
morning last after session of nine weeks.
Among the latest acts passed. and approv-
ed by the Governor, are two which I'M
mediately interest the citizens OF tins
place. The first is an act amendatory OF
the act incorporating the town, aud the
second repeals the Sd section of an act
passed in 1888. appointing Trustees OF
the town. The act repeating this section,
places at the disposition Of the Trustees,
all the proceeds arising from the recent
sale of Town Lots. This fund, when
realized, will enable the Trustees to pro-
cure fire engine. and to make such
other arrangements as will afford our
citizens some protection against hre.
This. we believe, was the object OF the
bill. and we do not know that the fund
obtained under the provisions Of the act.
could be applied to better or more use
Iul purpose than that OF protecting the
public property. as well as the property
of our citizens. from destruction by FIRE.
Under the act. amending the act OF last
session incorporating the town. our
citizens will he called upon OH the first
Monday in February next, to elect munl-
cipal officers, and we trust they will
endeavor to secure the services of COM
petent and efficient Board of Council
men, and all Alderman that will see to
the faithful execution Of the municipal
laws. This is all important for the pre-
servation of order. and the improvement
of our streets aud side walks.
