hill; whereas, if Mr. Hunter's theory had
have been sound, cotton ought to have been
higher the last three years of the compromise
than the first three. I endeavored to show
that hia own facta disproved his theory. The
tables which you print in the same article to

Important Humor. —Capt. Brown of the
Krhr. Spitfire ot Boston, trom Key W est Bth
insf., states that a Fishing Smack arrived at
K»*v West on the 7th iiiat., per Havana, the
t ’ap’ain of which reported that a Hr. Steam*r
had just arrived at li. from Tampico, bringing
intelligence of the capture of Tampico by
the U. *-5. Ship of War St. Mary's the day
before he sailed.
The ship Normas, which left Havana on
the 6th, brings no such report, and makes no
mention of the arrival of the steamer. Still j
it is pos-ihle the smack may have left after
the Normas, —the distance being only about
70 miles. Sailing vessels frequently make
the passage in 12 hours.— .V. Y. Journal of
Commerce, July 18.
(O"James W. Braduury (L)em.) has been
elected Senator from Maine for six years,
commencing iYa r cb 4, 1840.
Th* Wide; and tlieir Washington corres
pondent* are speculating very freely on ilie faie of
the taritT lull. They con uteri first upon ilie ab I
sem eof a western democratic senator. Private j
business of an urgent charaeter at one time threat
ened to send lorn home; hut with a generous feel- ;
mg which we cannot 100 highly appreciate, he has
determined to remain, and carry out ihe wishes of
his constituents and his mvn principles. The ;
w hole story circulated in several of the northern
papers, that we assisted in pet snarling hjm to stay
when he w as about lo depart in the ears, is utterly
un founded.
The whig presses nre now catching at another
straw. They are speculating on the impractica
bility of another democratic senator, (lids time
from tliesouih.) We will not doubt that they are
again resting upon a reed.— Washington Union,
July IS.
[Correspondence oj the Charleston Mercury.]
Washington, July 13. 1846.
'Pile Tariff is now fairly started in ihe Senate.— r
Mr. Dixon Jl. Lewis opened the discussion this I
morning, he being the < 'liairman of the Committee I
on finance, by a very able speech in defence of
tile bill from 1 lie House. He took too, somewhat
diderent ground troiii what the opponents of the j
bill expected, and surprised them considerably.—
They have Ihcii pluming themselves much on the j
al’eged facilities for committing fraud, which the
ml valorem system afforded, as they alleged. Mr.
Lewis not only met and denied this allegation, but ;
advanced and supported the opposite proposition. ’
that w hile sjierifie duties did afford facilities ami
encouragement to fraud, ad vnlorems did precisely j
the reverse. And he sustained this by facts and '
arguments, which were new to some if not to all j
in (lie Senate, while they will he found very rlilli
cult lo answer. He showed for instance, that an
ndvaloretn system affords no temptation to defraud
by calculations of what a merchant could gain on
a fraudulently undervalued invoice, as follows:
A merchant buys goods abroad for tJKK) —on
which the duty is 20 per cent. Suppose lie under
values them j per cent, say $95 —the duty on that
amount would he sl9, which,added to the proper j
co>t would make $1 PJ, and as the duty on the full
value would he only S2O, he gains just $1 on sllO,
or 85-100 of 1 per cent, and the gain <pit greater j
undervaluations would be as follows on SIOO worth j
of goods.
An undervaluation of 10 per cent, would be a
gaii.~r I 70-100 per cent.
An under*.a. 0 f 15 per c»nt, would be a
gam 0i'255- UK) percent.
An undervaluation of 20 per com, would he a
gain of 3 41- UR) per cent.
An lindenalnaiion ot 25 per cent, would be a
gain of 4 35-100 |>er cent.
An undervaluation of 30 percent, would be a
gain of 5 26-100 per cent.
And the supporters of this theory or fraud would ;
have us believe that Merchants arc such petty i
rogues and so utterly destitute of calculation as to
make fraudulent invoices for such again as this.— ,
And this too, in the face of the fact that there are !
sworn appraisers of the customs, and that the col- j
lectors have the right to procure merchants well ;
acquainted with the value of goods to act as ap
praisers, ami that the law provides that if goods ;
he appraised by appraisers at 10 per cent, over the
invoice, the duty shall not only be levied on that 1
higher valuation, bm in addition a line ol one-half j
the duty shall be imposed, so as to make the duty j
30 per cent, if 20 is prescribe 1 by I lie law—4s if 30
is prescribed, and so on, and this mind yon, on the j
appraised v alue of the goods. And besides all this
the importer will he liable to imprisonment. Do
not these fra ltd theory-mongers—these men who
believe all merchants to be rogues, tax our cre
dulity beyond all reasonable bounds, when they
ask us to believe such absurdities?
Mr. Lewis advocated a still larger reduction of
duties than that proposed by' the bill before the (
Senate, and maintained that this b II even would
produce, alter the first year, some thirty-three mil- |
lions ol revenue. He turned the tables on the pro
tectionists also, with reference to their cry of the ‘
uselessness of reducing duties to increase revenue, '
by quoting their own opinions in the matter of j
postage. He quoted from a report made by Mr.
Simmons, the Senator from Rhode Island, and a '
manufacturer, in which he proposes to reduce the
rate of postage still lower than they' now are, and
yet argues that at the more reduced rates they will
receive a larger revenue. And singular to relate,
Mr. Thomason of Kentucky, a whig, and support
er of the tariff of 1842, this morning made a report
from the committee of Post Office, maintaining that
the present rates will in six months meet the ex
penses of the Department. It certainly would ap
pear that the Whigs ought to shut their mouths
on this point at least.
1 have not time, however, to follow this speech ■
throughout, hut mu.-t refer you to the Union of to,
night, which 1 believe will contain a full report,
with some valuable tables.
The House to-day lias been again hard at work
on the Land Graduation Bill as you will perceive
by the report of the proceedings. No less than
xrt'en votes by yeas and nays were taken on this
*Blll to-day,— tour on Saturday,—and two on Frt
'day,—making in all thirteen times the ye *s and i
ttays have been called on this bill—ami on/oiir of ;
hhese votes it has been either a lie or the Speaker
Anting in the negative would change the result, so ,
Khe Speaker has voted four times on this bill, a i
tiling I believe. I may say —unprecedented. What
will'be its ultimate fate, it is very difficult to say.
Four times has it been attempted to lay it on the
table, and it is a hard matter to say how it w ill end. .
The Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers still tight
against it to revenge theirdefeat on the Tariff,and
are determined that if they can prevent it, it shall ,
not pass. 1 sent you an analysis of the first vote ■
»>n the 3d rea bn? yesterday—the main features of
that will answer for all the subsequent votes.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET
For the week ending June 26—During the pre
sent week nothing of novelty affecting the staple
has occurred. Advices from the United States, a
few days later, merely confirm the previous reports
and statements of the crop of that country. Since
our last had a moderate demapd, prices barely sup
porting the currency of that day, in no instance
exceeding it; in most kinds of common American
it has been found necessary to concede l-16d. Quo
tations will undergo some little alteration. Sea
Islands are understood to be nearly Id. per lb lower
within the last month. No doubt the agitation
about the ministry have had a tendency to repress
enterprise; 500 American have been taken on
i speculation, and 3350 American, 100 Pemaras, and
! 230 Surats for export. Sales to-day 4000 bales,
sales for the week 21,670 bales.
For the week ending July 3—no change in our
scale of prices, demand has been fair,occasionally
rather lively, the rates of American qualities have
been looking up; applies to the good and prime
quite as forcibly as the middling and fair; upward
; tendency nf our market has arisen mainly from t lie
settlement of the Oregon dispute, other respects,
such as the accounts of the crop, <fcc. There is noth
ing new, former statements of the crop have been
fully confirmed, hardly exceed 2,100.600 hales,
pojnt settled, we shall have to look with increas
| ed interest to the state of consumption both in
Europe and America.
