BONDED GOODS. OCT. 30. On Thursday, pursuant to appointment, a deputation of ten, of the Committee on the Bonded Duties proceeded at noon to Fife [louse, where they were introduced to the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Lushington. The worthy Baronet, who is the Chairman, - opened the business, adverted to the meeting which was held of the general body Of parties interested, on Tuesday last, at the City of London Tavern, and commented on the strong 'resolutions which had then been unanimously voted. It was stated that this measure of the British Government would have a material influence on the general commfo - ce Of the c o untry. The warehoirsing system was established to make London a flee port ; and it had had the effect of making it a general depot. To alter or interfere with the system at this precise time, when all the maritime powers of Europe were opening their ports, and not merely making them free ports, b u t offering an unlimited time for goods to lay until • markets could be liiund, would be the means of taking from England the advantage she now enjoyed trade would pass into new channels; and, once diverted, it would not hese) easy to bring it back again. At this moment facilities were held out for depositing goods at Antwerp, Amsterdam, anti Ilamburgh, as well as in all the Freuch ports, which would certainly be embraced and acted on, if an alteration took place in the English practice ; and if 'consigners had to apprehend that they might be called on at a short notice to takeout the goods, and sell them at.an overstocked or a depreciated market. Many of the commodities which had been brought to Eng land in return for British goads, were not designed for Eng lish consumption, and to force the consignee to re-ship them for the tn.crkets to which they were ultimately destined, when it was well known that at this time there was no demand for them, or to take them out and pay duties for them, in the contemplation of selling them here, would be to reduce the parties to utter ruin. These articles were particularized, such as French wines, of a kind for the Russian market, the duties on which would be double what the wine itself would sell for in England, Sec. Bz - c. Many other arguments were used in favour of the original importer, or of the consignee, who•had advanced sums to the importers, in the prospect that in time, on the restoration of tranquillity, and the revi val of demand, when the world had recovered itself from the calamities of war, a market might be found fur the goods which •was not yet the case. The audience continued during two hours, very little in deed was said by Ministers; but Lord Liverpool in the course of the • conversation observed, that it was the intention of those with whom he acted, so far to accommodate themselves to the wishes of the Gentlemen present, and of the trade, as to revise and amend the Bonding System. in order that the great , st possible facilities might be afforded to commerce, so far as they were consistent with the interest and security of the rovenne. Before the committee withdrew,Sir Charles nice bc! , ,ged to be informed of the intentions of his Lordship as,to the payments of Saturday, in order that some answer might he'given, under the pressure of the moment, to the anNimus inquitics that would be made, by a most respectable class of Mei drams on the Royal Exchange- The Minister declined to come to any immediate deter mination, but signified that in the evening he would communicate to Sir Charles nice, for the information of the Committee, what would be expected by Government. . On an occasion when the Ministers observed such a studied silence, and in the few words uttered, employed such guarded II language, it was extremely difficult to form any opinion as to their designs, but the impYession.was, that in r egard tc be was rev *_iegarde.
