MISS MAR7INEAU ON OUR TARIFF.

To he Editor Of The National AatiSiassry Standard
SIR: The news you send US is SO much more inter.
esting than. any can send you that feel almost
ashamed to WRITE Yet it must be or less impor.
tant to you to learn how your public affairs look at
distance, and also how the prospects Of liberty are
opening in various directions So will write as IL you
really had leisure attend to the voices of your friends
over the sea.
Since wrote last, the general feeling in this country,
and, believe in most others, has gone round-if not
in favor of the South at least far away from the North
In the absence of accurate knowledge Of the views Of
the Aboitonsts, and Of the state of parties English
people have sympathzed with "the North, supposng
this to he sympathizing with Republican opinion and
antSlavery sentiment and conviction. The tariff bust
ness has been a rude awakening from this kind OF
dream and it may be doubted whether the late interest
and sympathy can ever be renewed, unless, indeed,
by such practical protest by your countrymen
generally as will show that they regard tyranny and
Injustice with as much disgust at the North as in the
South Nothing short Of national reputation OF this
insane protective policy can regain the respect and
sympathy of the Old World 10 the Free States and at
tkis think you can feel no surprise. II had been
sore and long trial the hope and trust Of your
in Europe that the Northern men In Congress submit
ted 10 the overbearDg temper Of the South yield
ing up tho mcst sacred liberties " tLelS deualda

TIE BOSTONIAN IN NETWORK.


BosTos, April Is, 1861.
We Bostoaians are not very light upon our wings,
but occasionally DO try fight abroad, when the
traditional East Wind promises US its eeeual support
sweeps us of indeed being sent apparently with the
intent to scOurge everything human from the face OF
Creation, and rensttnte the primal Chaos. Upon such
pnioEs these did the destroying angel come to the
benighted Egyptians, and indeed in these days they
carry terror and desolation into many household,
making no particular selection, however, OF eldest
children, and not regarding any such announcement
upon the door.post L" No Group wanted here-no
dphtheria need apply"-kept OFF only by those mystic
rious seals in which their subjects rejoice with em-
bling Well, we let the East Wind have its way with
us and il delivers Is cketed and addressed at GER
tain depot in Albany street: "To my well-beloved
New-York then, and / shall do my best TO be there
before them." And, indeed, the East Wind was as
good bis word. OF course he swept along with US
good deal Of the loose rubbish which forms In gen.
eral the travelling communty-stout mothers with ba-
bes knotted up in wosted, forloIn maidens Of ell
ages, the autumnal period prevailing-spitting and
hoarsey talking men, and possibly one Of the dead
leaves Of extinct party which, if it shOnd stop at
the Everett House, what is that 10 hee Then there
are all the customary nuisances-the gum-drop boy
the popcorn man-the brother who sells books and
periodicals, and Of whom we buy monstrous sheet,
with portraits of the President and Cabinet lit TO
Tighten the Southern Confederacy tas we hope they
will, and God bless them ,, varied at Springfield and
NewHaven by the vendors Of tough sponge-cake, and
unhealthy looking sandwiches The depots are all de-
lghfuy dk-at least those at which the train makes
some stay; so that however intent you may be upon
improving your mind, you cannot dip into the insiruc
tive volume you have brought from Boston for that
purpose, and sit STILL and revolve little further
the limited capital you already possess. The day
long, but it is all just alike. and as it presents no salient
points OF misery, you dream your way through it, only
with increasing tghtness of the head, as well as dry
meas Of the throat. 1t is glorious moment when you
dismiss steam and take to the reyfaeti0n-but you
are too tar gone TO realize It's glory, and when you all
swarm feebly ont at Thiysec street, in pursuit Of
horrecars carriages and omnbuses, you say OF your
self, "This was man. nine hours ago, which now is
only rluddle," and pay five cents more, and with
brief termisson, reach the point Of your destination
a little before your trunk, and it must be confessed
woflly behind your reputation, till dinner and cup of
tea restore you.

The most noticeable occurrence among our artists
during the past week has been tho resignation Of Mr.
Durand, the President of the National Academy Of
Design The cause of the resignation s understood TO
be partly on account of ness and partly on account Of
dissatisfaction at the Of the Council in adopting
Mr.. Wights design for the new Academy building, TO
be erected in Twentyhrd street, instead Of that fur
