The foregoing being the leading articles in
which England and the United States are
chiefly interested, owing to want of space we
omit giving the list in full We have given
the French duties when imported in foreign
vessels concessions to some extent exist In
favor of French bottoms
The manufacture and sale of tobacco are en-
trusted by the French government to COM
mission known as the Reggie, and who have q
capital of forty-fve million of dollars. The
average export Of American tobacco into
France amounts to about eighteen thousand
hogsheads About two-ffths of the tobacco
consumed in Europe is the growth ofthe United
States. The revenue derived by the French
government from tobacco was in 1857, 92,233,
1897, and in 1852, 95,344O0sf
As our treaty with France places us on the
same footing with the most favored nations,
we presume that, whatever reduction of du-
ties she may consent to make in her trea-
ty with Great Britain, the United States will
be entitled to share alike with her in its advan-
tages.
Our articles Of greatest export to France
ported hence to France in ls5s-'59 amounted
to 10000 bales. Under the operation of free
trade it will soon be doubled.
We notice from the schedule of the reduc
ton Of duties proposed by the Emperor, that
on and after the LIST day of July next the duty
on cotton, now about two and half cents per
pound, or from eight to ten dollars per bale, il
to be entirely abolished, and that from October
1861, all prohibitions are to cease This doubt :
less looks to the abandonment of the pro ,
hibitory duty on tobacco, or to the abrogatiol
of its monopoly by the government.
We see by the movement of the veteran se !
nior of Exeter Hall-Lord Breugham-that b
has started a proposition to encourage tn I
growth of cotton in Africa and other places \
by admitting it into England duty free, Will
that imported from the United States is to b :
taxed. This, it is stated, he feels inspired t /
do by the humbug statements of DR.. Living J
stone, the travelling parson, who plagiarize !
materials from the documents of old Portuguese |
travellers, and palmed them upon the worl /
as original. Let the lights of Exeter Hall 6 !
on and tax American cotton, while they pre-
pose to admit it duty free from other place
In that case cotton manufacturing will, to
large extent, be transferred from England
France, whose manufacturers, by using Amer
can cotton admitted free of duty, will be e
abled to undersell the English manufacturers
From the tenor of the new treaty, France,
seems, proposes to abolish ah9s October, lSf
the prohibition and monopoly sGesbacco; wb'
this law goes into effect she will import frc
this country eight or ten times the quantity th
she at present receives from the United Stat
With fair duty on this enormous increase
consumption she would realize AZ much, q
probably more revenue, than she now receiv
through the Commission Of the Reggie.

The Milwaukee papers inform us that the
United States Marshal had arrested S. N.
Booth at one of the Railroad depots, and
imprisoned him in one of the vaults of the
Custom House. Furthermore it is asserted
that the arrest is made by direct order from
Washington. To those who are at all &C
.quainted with the facts of the Glover rescue
case, on which the arrest is made, it does
seem a little singular that the Government
should direct the strength of their prosecu-
ton against this poltroon. 1t is notorious,
in Milwaukee, that this Booth had no direct
hand in the rescuing of the slave from con-
finemcnt. If he is technically guilty in the
eyes of the law, then there are hundreds
equally so In this same case While Shcr.
man NJ. Booth was spcakingin Court House
Square, some twenty rods distant from the
Jail peaceful conduct and legal
action, -some six or eight men went to the
carpenter shop of Shadbolt & Spaulding,
one block distant and secured a piece of
square timber, and under the direction of
Spaulding and (probably) Ryecraft, the jail
door battered in and the slave released and
put into one-horse wagon, driven by Mr..
Rugee; this had all been done before Booth
was aware of it, he not being admitted to
the counsels Of the actors The crowd
around then raised a shout, and Booth learn
ing what was done, hurried to his horse "a
small ponv) and mounting him followed at.
ter the wagon, which was now nearly two
blocks ahead Of him. As the wagon and
crowd passed the store of this correspond
ent, Booth was still a long distance in the
rear-the wagon evidently making the best
time. All along the streets were hundreds
of men and boys on foot, who kept up with
the wagon, cheering and yelling with great
noise At or near the Walkers Point
bridge, the wagon was met by Mr.. John A.
Messenger, in buggy the negro was trans
fcrred to Mr.. Ms care, and he was off and
travelling with fast horse before Booth
came up. a.... ...a.....a
