X. After nil, if it be right that manufac ture* should be cncmragcel, let us at least enquire whether they are not in the actual :.tatc of thing* sufficiently encouraged. The duties on importation of foreign i.r title*.extend from US to percent. That I-,, there is already a bounty in favor of the honi" manufucturvr, from this source of a bout JO per cent. Add to this the freight whit h the importer pays, cqu d ou an ave rage to five per cent : add to this the impor ter's pr->fit, who sells to the sann class of people who are the customer of the manu facturer at home, 15 per cent ut the very leant. That is, there is actual!) m the pre sent circumstaiites, an average bounty of 50 pe; cent, in favor of the domestic manu facturer of every imported article. If this j oe not a tax on the consumer high enough in all conscicnce, 1 know not where the le^i*- ; lature is to stop, short of qbsolu*': prohihi- ' hition. What a contrast between coin- | mcrcc nnd manufactures! The first, except ! when a war is wanted, nay# ' let us alone ( the constant outcry of the other, is, addition al duties, additional prohibitions, pains and penalties on our coinpecito s, nud monopoly under the name of protection, for us ! Those who have attended to the history of the | wool ttade In Great Britain., know that the i profits of the woollen manufacturers have i chiefly arisen from their having worried and teazed the government of that country into a continued system of fraud upon the far mer*. Not content with saying to the cred ulous people, ' it Is your interest to buy your goods from us, and to drive away all foreign articles,' they have had the address tojier suade parliament to prohibit the farmer from selling his sheep and hi* woo) to foreigners at a high price, in order that these jugglers may buy it at ? low pri';e, or rather at tlieir own price. By and by we shall have petition* to con gress, founded on the examine of Great Bri tain, to prevent at from telling our wool at a foreign market.

The pieces which have given us the most pleasure, are those on " Wiihelm Mcistcr," " Parr and Parrl ana," and " Modern Gastronomy." The -first is an elegant and acute criticism on one of the most delighful specimen* of German literature, that translation has made acces sible* 10 us. Wilhelm Mcistcr isunqucstion ably the production of a man of genius : and although it betrays modes of life,and feelings and opinions, that ure not a little startling to our English notions, the truth and vivac ity with which the lilc.of an actor is paint ed, and above all, the exquisite a iticisms on the drama, and the disquisitions on urt, are admirable. The review of Parr and Parriana, fixes,1 we think, with great justice, the actual mer it of the odd, vain old pedant. The account of !.i? life is exceedingly amusing ; and the whole article, in itscusy veinot |,rave pleas* ; nntry, and unnflccUd learning and taste, j discovers the bund that wrote the life of, Witteiibach, in a former number.

Tiie reading of it quite refreshed us.
