WARRINGTON, May l6.-The Secretary OF
the Treasury, in anticipation of the operation
of the late tariff act. has issued 70 the officers
of Customs. additional regulations under the
revenue and collection laws, as the Act of
las. March disturbs, TO o slight extent, the
classification of imports made at the end OF
the year 1856. The construction heretofore
given to that Act by the Department is ap-
plicable, except where the law has been mod
fled. The provisions of section 90, Of the

duty of Is per cent. Merchandise, and pub

tied in any warehouse authorised by law, or

United States TO another-will, irrespective
of the date of their original importation or
bonding. be subject, on withdrawal for con-
sumption, to the rates of duty prescribed by
the Act Of 1857. AS to the admission of un-
manufactured Wool free of duty, of the value
Of 20 cents per pound, or less, at the port OF

A Remarkable Prediction.

Mr.. Caleb Cushing, in his late speech at
the reception given him on his return home
20 Newbmyport, brings to light remarka-
bic letter from the Count Of Amanda, the
Spanish P!enipotentiary who signed the
treaty of peace, in 1888, between France,
Spain, England and the United States, by
which our independence was acknowledged.
After the conclusion of the treaty, the Span
ish Ambassador addressed letter to his SOW
ereign, Charles III, in which lac indulged in
reflections upon the future effects Of the great
event that had just been accomplished and
in it thus prophecies the destiny of the Amer
lean Federal Republic, which had been ush-
cred, by the peace he had just concluded,
