THE Duty on Books.-Our friend "Ion" O

rect in his representations of matters anG
things in Washington, has fallen into error
in his representations concerning the very re-
cent action of the Secretary of the Treasury
relative to duties on importations of books

existing law, books are to be charged al "a

is not so. In the case in question, Occurring
in New York; the ass, sssors assessed the duty
according to the Wholesale price or true mar

mand to them to disregard: the plain require

We clip the following from the Balti-
more American of Wednesday last =
1.-The grand concert given last night by
Julien's magnificent orchestra, was the
greatest musical triumph ever achieved
in Baltimore, even the memorable soirees
of Jenny Lind scarce atfording parallel.
The immense saloon of the Institute Hall
was densely thronged by an audience Of
three or four thousand persons, whose
rapt attention and enthusiastic plauditS
gave evidence of the high degree of enjoy
ment experienced. A finer array of the
beauty and fashion of the city we have
never seen assembled, and as the vast
audience was alternately Gained into the
strictest silence by the sweet and soften
ed strains of the music, and then brought
with enthusiastic shouts to their feet by
the grand combinations and effects pro-
duced, the scene WAS ineXpreSsible impo-
sing. Julien is unquestionably the great
est conductor Of the age-he proves his
tact by collecting around him an orchestra
of the most extended and varied excel
lence, and his talent, by moulding and
directing them with a skill that combines
them in a harmonious whole, from which
he achieves such triumphs of musical
perfection as until last night we had
scarcely imagined could be produced.
The concert was not more perfect as a
whole than in it's several parts. Bottesini,
Koenig, Reichert, and the other celebri-
ties of the orchestra, gave gratifying
evidence of their mastery as soloists. and
were warmly and repeatedly applauded.
Mile Anna Zerr is pleasing and finished
vocalist, and shared literally in the APP
rotation so warmly bestowed"

Stockton canyassed New Jersey for Tip
