entered for consumption at this port alone from
LIST of January to 1st of September instant A
like duty on sugar is a terrible impost ON the
poor man. Twenty per cent on timber greatly
increases the cost of building and our imports
of this article from Canada are increasing very
rapidly. SO with paints, glass hardware, and
other articles, which now pay from twenty-five
to thirty per cent. Our silk duties also require
attention, Raw silk now pays fifteen per cent,
though we produce none; silk manufactures
twenty five and thirty per cent. Our imports
of the latter at New York from lst Of January
to lst of September instant amounted to nearly
twenty-five millions of dollars on which the
State levied about seven millions. We may
either reduce the duty on manufactured silk to
ten or twelve per cent, or remove that on raw
silk altogether, SO as to give our manufacturers
a chance. This is matter for future dis
cussion.
As Mr.. Guthrie's inquiries progress opportu-
mites of examining these questions in detail
will frequently occur.

There was no change Of moment In -four, common
State brands having closed at about So % So 81.
Wheat was in fair requeat, with pretty free sales, with
out material alteration in prices Cotton sed to the
tent Of ,2c0 bales, the market closing steady There
no marked change in sugars, and the weeks bust
closed with about the average daily transactions Re-
fined sugars held higher The circular Of the Aessrs
Stuar dated the oath instant indicated advance in
the article manufactured by them Of one-quarter Of
cent per pound. At this Of the year there
usually increased domestic consumption Of refined
sugar for preserving fruits.
The Beard Of Under writer's in this city I'd agreed to
make return of two and q half per cent on vessels

and the reds found to cost less than 2 per cent

when the premiums became due.
This was wise and humane movement. Had it been
the practice with vessels in years past to protect them
selves BY the of lightning conductors much vaua Die
property and many lives would have been saved.
As no exception made in regard to steamers was
presumed that the proposals of the under writer's en-
brsced them also though experience had shown that they
were less liable to be struck by lightning than sailing
vessels The latter by traversng all ATTITUDES, were
liable to be struck at al Such accidents fire.

merchant referred to cordags made from oow-
hides, which had been imported into England from
the East Indies and we're highly spoken Of. He
stated that he had ordered some as samples,
which he wac DESTROYS should become known
in this country. He thought it possible that
they might be cheaply made in many parts of South
America. The OF hide for drawing traces lines,
and other parts Of work harness, was not new The
idea however, Of manufacturing cordage from them
novel, During the present high prices of hemp it
possible that it might be supplied for many purposes
cheaper than hempen cordsge which it said to
possess the advantage Of superior strength.
There had been q good demand for ships towards the
clofe Of Last week. Among those sold the Compro

THE HEpALD AND THE FISHERY CLAIMS OF
LORD STlRLING,-Our Washington correspon-
dent informs us by telegraphic despatch, pub
lished elsewhere in our columns to-day, that
some of the SPECTATORS interested in the famous
Stirling claim to the fisheries of Nova Scotia
have been Boosting in the capital that they had
secured the support of the New YORK HERALD
strongly impressed, or Of having given utter
ance to our convictions in favor Of the titles as
serted to be possessed by the sOidisont Earl OF
Stirling. We were the first to give publicity
in our columns to the fact that certain specula-
tors OF note and position in Washington and
New York had given evidence of the faith that
was in them on the subject Of the celebrated
Stirling claims, by entering into negotiation
for the transfer to them of his rights. That was
an interesting and important social and politi-
cal fact, and one which has afforded fertile
theme for newspaper and magazine writer's on
both sides of the Atlantic ever since But we
did not thereby indicate our having lent the
slightest particle Of faith to the existence of the
rights claimed.
1t is further asserted, according to our cor
respondent, that our support is alleged to have
been gained over through the influence Of
the Hon. Robert j. Walker and an ex-Sena-
tor. This may do very well for the Go6e-
m0uches Of Washington. But it 80 happens
that when our despatch on the subject was re-
ceived. Mr. Walker was in this city, and never
had any communication with us in respect to
the matter. Who the ex-senator referred to
may be we are only left to conjecture. All we
can say on the matter is, that if such vain
boasts have been INDUCED in by these specu-
lators, they have evinced as small share Of
discrimination and common sense in making
them as they are generally supposed to have
done in identifying themselves with these cele-
brated fishery rights Of the representatives Of
the Earls of Stirling. Tire la 6a gateHe'

THE ToNBs OF THE PREsIDENTs--We give
to-day an elaborate article prepared with much
care from the best materials in our possession
descriptive of the tombs or burial places of the
deceased Presidents of the United States. This
is the first time we believe, that an attempt
has been made to collect and place before the
public these particulars respecting the eminent
Americans who have occupied The first Office in
the nation The few descriptions Of tombs which
we have been unable to give at this time we
hope will be furnished US by our correspondents
to make our sketches complete. We shall be
under obligations to our friends, also, for any
further particulars respecting tombs and in
scriptions of the wives and other members of
the families of the Presidents, also of the Vice
Presidents and their families.
There is an improving taste and feeling on
the subject OF cemeteries and monuments to the
memory of the illustrious dead. and we shall be
always ready to encourage this feeling by az
fording information to the public of general in
terest on subject heretofore much neglected.
THE New ORGAN OuT-The new democratic
organ at Washington called the Sentinel, has
made it appearance. 1t exhibits fair show of
talent, independence and advertisements a
little taste Of government pap, and a decided
sympathy for the New York hard shells, which
places ii in the outset in direct ntagonism to
the Union. What a delightful duetto we shall
have when they both come to play before Con-
gress for the public printing.

How strange, and yet how tremendously united
70 the terrible and the beautiful ofNature, in the
Mnpaena of Naples The baleful watchfres of
Jes,lyius light scenery of surprising loveliness;
nd the ruined cities of its base, in striking con-
rast with the smiling vineyards which surround
hem, lift their dilapidated heads above fields of
erdure, crowned with luxuriant wild.fowers,
langing glaceful festoons about them, and wa
ingto the passing breeze, which they fill with
Eagrance. Nay, the very pathways of the fiery
orient which wrought their desolation, or, more
roperly the channels in which the molten lava,
,rrested in its progress by the mass that preceded
t. cooled and became stagnant, are marked by SUI
ierior We getation, and the richest vines of the
ountry spring fom soil into which this destroying
gent has been convertedby the lapse Of time, and
he decomposition of ages. Then, too, with eve
~ gush of flame from its summit, bright beam is
hrown across the unrivaled Bay, which, though
lurid at its fountain, becomes mellowed in the
distance aud shines playfully surface as if
the rays of the Summer moon were dancing
on its waters, or sporting on its islands. The at
mosphere itself, takes character of illumination
from this tremendous bonfire, and terrible as are
its memories, and at times, its threatenings it is
grand and indispensable feature in the combination
over which it presides. What the altar was to the
ceremonial of Pagan sacrifice, when, Of old, its
volumed incense was deemed grateful SAVIOUR to
divinity, is vesuvius to the temple not made with
hands, in the midst of which it rises, pouring forth
its column orsmuke by day, and of flame by night
perpetual oblation to Him who placed it there,
as if IN derision of the hectuccnbs of the past OF
of the stinted and ephemhrel vapor from perfu-
med censors in the present. We boast of the high
places-the perishabe monuments of human de-
votion, and cupslo, dome, and spre are lifted high
in air, as if to approach Him towhom they are ded-
icated, and peer above the concentrations Of
earth; but the oftiest fame sinks into insgncance
when we look upon this majestic elevation-dis-
playing nits summit, far above the limit of NOR
ial endeavor, the enduring holocaust Of nature,
sending its mighty tribute into regions worldly ag-
itatiens have neither invaded, nor polluted.
