Christmas and Independence day without
the iusilade OF Chinese crackers. The tariff
bill introduced into the Senate by Mr.. Fes-
sender, contains a clause forbiddirg the i'm
portation Of irecrackers and, whatever bill
passes this provision will no doubt be one of
rs features. This seemingly trivial subject
is one OF the greatest Importance, as the ter,
ribie fire which nearly destroyed the city OF
Portland, Maine, last summer, originated
from the explosion of tireeracker; and
Senator Fssssnden, whose homs is in tina,

Senior Romero gracefully received the
address, and thanked the gentlemen for
their synpathies expressed with the
Mexican people. He said he appreciat-
ed the address the more highly because
1t came from men who had been born IN
der the iron heel of despotism, and who
could. consequently, the better appreciate
the blessings of liberty. Such men were
more to be honored than those who had
been born in republic; they had been
tried and found not wanting, and could
always be relied upon He spoke highly
OF the address, and said it was an able
document.
