? $ * From the National Intelligencer, 4th inst. a A TARIFF BILL FOR REVENUE J %vas yesterday reported by the indefatigable Committee of Ways and Means of the 6 House of Representatives; and now, if we 1 speak iiguratively of the business of the session, all the irons are in the (ire. We , tvish lhat none of thjgm may burn! We have glanced our eye over the bill, ? with a view to give^the reader a general I idea of ij? character;^ It proposes to lay; I duties oh goods imported from abroad, on j * the chief articled thereof, as follows: ' L-' On unmanufactured wool exceeding eight cents per pound in value, thirty per cent. < ad valorem. ( On the same article of the value of eight i cents or umlcr per pound, a duly of five per 1 cent, ad valorem. On all manufactures of wool forty per r cent, ad Valorem, djtcept carpeting, blank- ^ ets, and some other articles, on which spe- \ cial ad valorem duties are proposed-'. ' On cotton unmanufactured, three cents per pound. 1 On alt manufactures of cotton not other- ( wise specified, thirty per centum ad valo- < -... 1 On all-articles of silk, according to their < character, thir-tj* or thirty-five per cent. | Our manufactured hemp, forty dollars f .per ton. _ I On iron, in bars or bolts, not manufac- | tured by rolling, eighteen dollars per ton: ' on the same article, made in whole or in < part by rolling, thirty dollars per ton. On lead, in pigs, bars or sheets, three i cents per pound. j On cut glass, from twenty-five to forty- | five cents per pound; on plain, moulded, and pressed glass, from ten to sixteen cents per pound. On all articles of china or any other earthern ware, thirty per cent, ail valorem. On tanned, sole or bend leather, six cents per pound; on calfskin, tanned and dressed, three dollars and fifty cents per pound, &r. ' *. ^ On raw sugar, two and a half cents per pound. On teas, according to their quality, twenty cents, fiftern cents, ten cents, down to Bohea, on which a duty of three cente only is proposed. On salt, ten cpnts per bushel. After going through a long enumeration of specific duties, a duty of twenty per centum ad valorem upon all remaining articles. An additional duty of ten per cent, on all articles imported in foreign vessels in cases where a specific discrimination is not made in the bill. All duties hereafter to be paid in cash. The bill also proposes to repeal the proviso of the Land Distribution Act which suspends the operation of that act in the event of any doty being laid by Congress of a higher rate than twenty per centum ad valorem. LATER FROM MEXICO. Nxw Orleans, June 1. Tlic brig Apalachicola arrived at our port yesterday from Vera Cruz,jvia Tampico, brinjiinrr news from the former^Jace up to the 22d ofMay, three days later than the British steamship Teviot. The Apalachicola had on board ?>13,593, for different merchants of this city, t.. An ong the passengers we are pleased to see the names of some thirteen of the late Santa Fe prisoners, who have been liberated through the intervention of the English and and other ministers. We give the names of Lieut. R. R. Scott, and Messrs. Harrison, Horn and Bissett, as among those liberated through the exertions of Mr. Pakenham, Wolf, Gerlaeh, Echart, Hoodie, Miller, Troutz, Mareat, Winkler, and Lilly, liberated by the Prussian and French min ? isters. We learn that there was but very little yellow fever at .Vera Cruz when the Apalachicola sailed. Rumours?Madam Rumour, although a perfect judge, furnishes us with much of the news we receive from Mexico?rumours, we say, were spread at Vera Cruz, when the Apalachicola sailed, that Santa Anna is about to liberate all the Texian prisoners now confined at the city of Mexico, l'uebla and Perote. Candidly and honestly we believe that such a course would add much to his popularity?we know that it would abroad. As it now is it takes a large number of Santa Anna's soldiers to guard the Tcxians, it takes no inconsiderable sum to feed ^the prisoners and guard, the Exchequer of ^IVIexico is not so full that an extensive sum can be spared for this purpose, and the sooner his most excellent Excllency, the Provisional President, gets rid of these prisoners, the better it will be for him in particular and the people he rules generally, for we really believe that a large portion of them are in favor of the immediate release of the Santa Fe prisoners. There were also reports in circulation at Vera Cruz and Tampico, that the troops in Jalapa and that vcicinity, to the number of some 25,000 had been ordered and. jyere really on the march for Texas. This, however, we don't be- | _-s Keve. Santa Anna has too much need for these , troops nearer home. Our attentive correspondent at Vera Cruz, 1 under date of the 21st of May, writes to us as ) ^follows: r "The letters from the city of Mejrico, by to- { days mail, are void of interest. All Mexico was > ^at San Augustin at the great gambling feast, #vhich took place on thel5th, 16th and 17th of 1 .this month. His Excellency, the Provisional, p was there of course, surrounded by his fighting t vChipkens, (as this is his favorite sport,) and ta- g jting bets indiscriminately from the gentlemen r and the leporo. In the cock-pit Santa Anna is truly republican. a '^The Mexican steamer and schooner of war t " leave this place immediately for Havana, 8 to repair the damages sustained when they p grounded on the bar of Alvarado, and to join, no b ' doubt, the two steamers now momently expected to arrive from England at Havana, ^s of n late there has bgen no Texan man-of-war off our coast, they do not look for an escort FROM TEXAS.

Great Fire.?Wesleyan Seminary jurnt.?The Rochester Post*, of Thurslay, slates that the well known Methodist Seminary "at Lima, in Livingston county, wenty miles southward of Rochester, was ihiefly destroyed by fire that morning, be"ore daylight. The fire was discovered ibout three o'clock, issuing from the cu-; pola. The whole roof the/main building fell in?but the east wing was chiefly saved, and the west one would probably be saved also. .How the Are originated is not known, though the building has several limes caught fire sineeitwas built. About four hundred students* were attending the seminary, which is in high repute. No doubt immediate measures will be taken to repar the edifice, so as to prevent any serious impiedimenl to the course of instruction. The Albany Advertiser adds, that they understand the loss is estimated at $20^ 000. From the London Herald May 7. AIM jkatkaukjjinary SCENE. We have just received two huge blue books, being parts 1 and 2 of the "Appendix" to the parliamentary "Commission on Children's Employment." Each "part" consists of nearly 900 folio pages, Part 1. is illustrated by some lithographic sketclies of men, of women, of children, employed in what we may term "brute labor" and "brute transport." Here are women harness, ed to coal carts, and dragging them through seams of coal from 22 to 28 inches only in height, ?working their burdens some backwards?others forward?over the dismal perforations, rather than roads, with a dip of 1 foot 3 to 1 foot in 6. This infamous, this disgusting this unsexing employment is exacted, at this day, of wretched, but, miserably poor an untiringly industrious women (!) in some of the mines of Scotland, and the north of England, under circumstances to which at present we cannot trust ourselves farther to allude. We shall speedily recur to the subject, however, mora at large. In mines in Lancashire boys are employed some in pushing, others dragging loaded coal trucks through those miserable seams or galleries?the pusher becoming bald, from the friction of their heads against the trucks, the draggers maimed from hauling it on their hands and knees;?and both these employments are habitual. In mines at Rochdale and in the vicinity of Preston and Macclesfield, miners work at the coal in positions and under restraints and confinement, as to pace for their exertions, which shock belief, but arc terribly exemplified in tne rude but effective litographs at pp. 153, &c. of?Part 1. One of the men shown, (and of all represented in the cuts it is said (p. 159) that "they generally work naked,"?) is as destitute of all habiliments as a native of the Washinirton Islands ? He was found working in a mine not more than 18 to 20 inches in thickness. His chest was brought down so as almost to rest upon the thigh and the head bent down almost to the knee!" IIow strange that 20,000,000/of money has been heaped )iijk>h the fetters of negro slaves in the West Indies in order to break them; and .that not one indignant tongue has yet been heard within the walls of Parliament to denounce a legalized or at least permitted system of physical degredation to men, of moral ruin and bodily torture to women, of barbarous captivity and toil to children, for which the bondage of Egyptian taskmasters, the tyrranny of European "overseers" and the humiliations of Moorish slavery have supplied no parellel, and can suggest no type!
