Thu TariG Of hen does IL 70 f.se
force!

This question is now frequently asked by those
interested in the importation and traffic of foreign
merchandise. The Chamber of Commerce met
on Saturday last, to discuss the tariff, and gain
some information, but from the report of the
meeting given in another column, it appears that
very little light was thrown on the subject, al
though the Minister of Finance was present, and
members left meeting without being able to
answer the question definitely.
Were there no treaty stipulation to the con-
trary. the change in the tariff might take place
when the French treaty goes into force, viz: on
the 9th of September, 1859. But that there is
some treaty stipulation on this point is admitted
in the new Code. in the section which embraces
the new tariff, and which says
"sDcrros SIT. Whenever the duties specified in this section
can be substItuted for those provided fst in the last preceding &c

1916. The seventh article contains the follow
ing clause:
aAny alteration in the duties levied on goods shan NOT fake
SYgses, NOR ss enforced ssfa tps!vs eelsnas. ~estas. sff~
The treaty with Hamburg, contains the same
clause verbatim. The treaty with Bremen, dated
August, 1851, requires seight months notice
to be given.
The spublic notification" intended in the
treaties referred to, is no doubt the same as is
meant in the new Code when it is declared that
the laws shall be promulgated by publication
in such newspaper or newspapers printed at the
seat of government as may be deemed proper.
No such public notification or PRONUNCIATION has
as yet been given in any way or shape. The
French treaty does not make any change in the
tariff except in reducing the liquor duty to three
dollars. That, of course, goes into effect when the
treaty does. The passage of this treaty simply per-
mfs this government to enact a new tariff. Such
tariff has not yet been promulgated as an
enactment, and the importers are supposed to
know nothing about it as a law, until its promul-
cation.
Snch being the case, and the law having been
enacted in the new Code conditionaAy, to go into
force at some future period, the government is
bound to abide by its treaty stipulation, and by
Immediately giving public notice, and by publ
cation of the tariff law, fix a definite period for
the new tariff act to take effect. Such public
notice can be given as well now as two months
hence and we trust some action will be taken in
the matter, if for no other reason, that merchants
may communicate it to their European and
American correspondents.

IcE.-Housekeepers who have depended on ice to
keep cool during these sultry days, were somewhat
taken aback by the supply of that article suddenly
giving out on Monday last. That ice is a healthy
and invigorating luxury, none will probably question.
We only wish our residents supported the ice enter
prise more literally. We understand that a further
supply may be expected the latter part of July in the
ship Phantom, which sailed from Boston for Homo
lulu direct in March.

A SAFEaUARD.-We notice that a well has been
sunk under the new Odd Fellows Hall, and a supply
o: water obtained, about twelve feet below the cellar
floor, apparently inexhaustable. A force pump has
also been set up on the first floor, capable of carrying
the water TO any part of the building. This will add
greatly to the safety of the property. If every build
ing possessed such a natural reservoir beneath it, we
should have little to fear from fire.
