SEPARATION. WELCOME NEWS.
All factious opposition being overcome, it is only fair to assume that only a very short time will elapse before SEPARATION from the NORTH ISLAND be accomplished. But few people, however, at this moment foresee what will he the consequence to TRADERS who deal in articles subject to the present HIGH DUTIE?.
There can be no doubt that one of the first measures to be initiated will be the TOTAL ABOLITION of the present most obnoxious and iniquitous TARIFF.
C. T. ICK, MERCER & DRAPER, OF PRINCES STREET, appears to be so convinced in his own mind that all DUTIES UPON SOFT GOODS will be abolished, that he has informed us of M 3 intention of at once SELLING OFF the whole of his exceedingly valuable STOCK OF DRAPERY, &c, AT VICTORIA PRICES.
Whether this bo good policy of Mr. ICK'S it may be difficult to pronounce, but that the PUBLIC wiil receive the benefit there can be no possible doubt.
