C., on the evening of April 12th, on "Some things one tee In Europe,- which was decidedly toteresttoff and instructive. How any one not con neeted with some one of our protected monopolies can be in favor of a protective tariff after learning the market prices of articles of prime necessity in Enrooe. is amply astonishing. No man could favor a tax unless he was either profited by controlled by grossest ignorance and party prejudice. In many cases articles thai are used by the poorer classes "of our people, and which have become absolute jMcessities, can be bought in London for ess tnan naif we pay for them in'Raleferh.
