A bill was reported in the House of Representatives yesterday, embracing provisions of great importance to the commercial as well as to the manufacturing interests: it proposes a revision of the tariff of duties on imports, to take place on the 30th June next. The bill is of too great length to allow of its immediate publication; but we gather, generally, from a hasty glance at it, that it proposes a small increase of the present duties, and, on the present rate of duties, on coarse woolens and cottons, an increase at the rate of from twenty five to thirty three and a third per cent. The bill shall be published at length, perhaps in our next.--Nat. Int.
