NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.

This distinguished author has resigned the consul
ate at Liverpool, which place he has filed for four
years with great ability and credit to himself as well
most satisfactorily to the government and to those
of his countrymen with whom he has been brought
into contact His official and personal relations with
the present Chief Magistrate, with the last were
of the most friendly character but his private inter
ests made it desirable for him to give up his office
and in February last he sent his resignation to a
friend in this city to be placed at the disposal of the
President after his Inauguration.

rARIEF oF THE IoNIAN. ISLANDS.

Although the system of dferential duties forced
upon the Ionian islands in their commercial relations
with the United States and some other countries
practically excludes our vessels from the ports of
this anomalous political confederation, our indirect
trade with some of the islands composing the group
is of sufficient importance to render knowledge of
their tariff duties desirable TO our mercantile read
ers. We have, therefore, condensed from a very
late report made to the British government entitled
would suppose rather singularly in view of the
reputed independence of the Omitted States of the
Ionian Republic, I" Return of the duties payable un-
der colonial enactments on goods imported into, and

EMANCIPATION IN THE WEST INDIES.
The London Times has the following comments


the effects Of emancipation in the West India islands,
"The worthy men who extngushed slavery, and ru-
ined West India possessions very touchy very
obstinate very ncontrovertble that tender point 1t

up line which repelled all reasonable advocacy But
confessedly, taking that grand summary view of the
question which cannot help taking after quarter of
century, the process failure it destroyed an i'm
mense property ruined thousands of good families, de-
graded the negroes still lower than they were and after
all increased the of slavery in less scupuous hands
After many attempts at indirect dscouragement have
been obliged at last to recognise and admit persistent
slave owners to an equal rank in Every
body who comes fresh into the question: uncompromised
and unbiased admits the failure and asks why we did
not attempt the gradual spontaneous emancipation If
it was indeed utterly impossible to improve the practice
of slavery into something like that read of in
sacred as well as classical antiquity The these
questions asked and the these doubts abound

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday morning says 7" Two
hundred and sixty men, newly enlisted for the army, left
New York at eight o'clock yesterday morning by the
New Jersey railroad for St. Louis by way Of the Bati
more and Ohio and Mississippi routes This large corps
besides the usual passengers, arrived at Baltimore

York to st. Louis under contract to make the entire
journey in but little forty eight hours and

There is export duty of 1s per cent. ad paloran
on oil and currants per cent. on valona, and s
per cent. on soap.
The effect of these differential duties may be fur
ther from the following items, which we find in

Relations, part l.:
Charges for clearance, including bill of health muster
roll, anchorage, and light dues, Ionian equal
lied vessel Of from ESQ to 800 tons $8 10

1t is needless to add that the United States having
treaty with the Ionian republic, is classed among
the nonprvileged nations. The constitution of the
republic requires that treaties conventions be-
tween it and foreign nations must originate at Lon

islands and foreign States must be conducted by the
