This is the first time that river steamers on
Western waters were Obliged to obtain clear
tances;; but as these boats are now looked
upon in the light Of. vessels sailing for
"Iorcisn' ports. Of course such an obligation
IS considered necessary, and it is very sig.

taken place in the relations between the two

The New York Hsral9, rcmarrking' upon
the above facts, predicts that European
imports arriving at New Orleans. or any
other city iwithinthc limits Of the South
ern ConfdeTacy, and paying the low duty
prescribed by Southern tariff, will unQues.
tionably be shipped by these Mississippi
river boats TO all points in the Northwest
ern and the Eorder States, without any
regard for the cxorbitant provisions Of THE
Northern Morrill, tariff, which takes effect
on the first Of next month. This Morrill,
tariff imposes bhrdensomc tax upon iron,
cotton goods, wooiens, and all Of those
necessary articles Of which such immense
quantities are consumed, in the Northwest,
while the Southern tariff is that Of 1857,
now in force, but which is TO be still father
reduced by the Southern Congress. A
direct trade will Immediately spring up
between Europe and the South, and we
would rot lie surprised ifthe merchants in
the Mississippi Valley, within a very short
time, would make their purchases at New
Orleans. Tho Herald predicts that. the
Southern trade, under this impstus, will
extend "lar north as ST.. Paul, Minnesota
and as far east as. Pittsburgh, to the cxclu.
sion Of the eastern markets.

there, and then brought coastwise 10 New
York, where, being imp ration from port
in the Union. they will be subjected to ne
duty. The new tariff, with its strange
6rmalitiss and ingenious delays, form al
additional 'inducement with them to take
Fthis course. +r58ti t.3g,7st.s
