trade and exchange, without making demands
on any sovereignty which i~nterferes with any
OF the local matters in the country, a system,
which even in single cases, appears to be car
RED to such an extremity that it must break.
l need only here to remind you of the relation
in which England has placed itself towards
New Zealand, and in which England appears
to have completely set aside every one of those
obligations which according to old traditions
must rest upon that country vis-a-vis its Colo
MES. But it appears, however, that there can
be no dispute that the spirit of the times moves
towards a greater interior liberty and a fuller
selt-goyernment for the Colonies than the one
we have known hitherto. Now it appears to
me that the present law proposal does not only
not give anything positive in that regard, but
tlat II even IN Il negative manner opposes it.
1t is IN l put up as a stipulation for the con-
trlbutlon which Is to be yielded to st. Croix,
that the export duty shall in future be abolish
eu Tor an equal period to the one during which
the contribution is to be given. When we now
read the very |v0IuminouS motives, we will find
that this export duty at St. Criox is a purely
local revenue for the Islagd, for the "municipa-
lily of 81. CrOix," as it is den0minated. In this
municipality there are further undoubtedly es-
tateownerS, the deciding power to that degree,
tAat every hIng which relates to the interior
matters of the Island, can confidently be laid
into their hands without a fear that the interest
Of the estate owners would suffer thereby. 1t
is doubtful if the estate owners will, in the
same degree and in The same measure, take
care ofthe interests of the other classes in the
islands, if they will be equally as honest in de-
Gliding, what for instance, is the right of the la
borers, If they in the same proportion will be
willing to have a regard for the relations of the
commercial towns, etc. but that the interests
of the estate owners will mot suffer by being
laid under the islands own administration, ap-
pears to be a given and decided case.

Custom House Swearing,

One of the shrewdcst men in Wall
street was recently waited on by a
Custom House broker, who asked him
TO make an oath to the value of an
importation made to the order of his
banking house. Tho invoice was in
French. 81 haven't imported any
thing" said the banker. "Your house
has, though" said tho broker, "and
somebody has got to swear to its
value" "What is itY Let's see your
document! TaJleaur en- hulc; that
must be Gallo. Let's see; huie
means oil, doesn't ity and tdbledur
must be table, and the whole put
together must be table oil A case Of
it is worth-how much "a hundred
dollarsl Well, here goes for Gus.
tom House oath, to the amount Of a
hundred dollars )" and he swore.
Some days after the broker entered
tho bank in sweat. He rushed up
to the banker and said to him nerv-
ously: "Mr. c., there is trouble down
to the Custom House about your oath.
Your valuation is declared by the ap.
praisers to be fraudulent. That table
oil is said TO be worth 81, 1000, and you
sworo that it was worth only 500.
There's hi to pay. Come down
right off,"
The banker went; was confronted
with his affidavit, and the evidence
that the importation was a valuable
painting, actually worth 5000, which
a gentleman travelling in Europe had
purchased and sent home to the care
Of the banking house.
"Tabledur en- huiie means oil paint.
