THE MORNING CHRONICLE

—The Proprietors of THE AtORNING CHRONICLE desire
to call the attention to the general principles on which that
Joy rnal is condncted.

Having access to the highest sources of information at home
and abroad, the conductors of:THE MORNING CHRONICLE
will strive to discriminate between, the true and the false
reports, of which' the resporsibilio is now thrown by the
Journals on their readers. TLIE MORNING CHRONICLE
cannot promise to he always right, but its conductors reapg-
nise the moral obligation of protecting the public against
erroneous intelligence. .
In Potrrics THE MORNING CHRONICLE is absOlutely
independent. Its,:polify has always been substantially the
same, amidst the mutations of parties. • Thoroughly Liberal in
advocating radical reform of 'all abuses, it is yet Conservative
in desiring, through that reform, to preserve the'groat institu-
tions of the country.
THE MORNING CHRONICLE is a complete Miscellany
of varied Intelligence. It 'contains the Latest News froth all
parts of the World, forwarded by its own. Correspondents, in
Paris, Vienna, St. Pvterstuirg, and other European capitals;
New York, the seats of Government in our Indian Empi:e, our
Colonies, China, asd elsewhere. By a judicious selection and
compression in every department, space is found, throughoui
the year, for matters interesting to families.
All advertisements and matters of an objectionable charac-
ter are rigidly excluded. At the sacrifice also, of a large
revenue, the Propriefori'ao their utmost to discourage adver-
tisements and " puffs " of a deceptive- character, intended to
impose• on the Public, through the respectability of the Jour-
nals in which they are too often permitted to appear.
' The criticisms of THE MORNINW CHRONICLE in Lint-
ItATITMC.: SCIENCE, ART, Mosic;''and, the DRAMA, are wfitten
by: gentlemen 'specially selected for their ,competency, end
whose object is to combine,independenee with encouragement
to:merito ,

The WORLD OF FAsnrox, athome'and'abroad, fin& in TUE
MORNING CHRONICLE, a record . of. the . subject's ' b its
especial interest. A, Correspondent; who moves in the- hest
circles of Paris, writes weekly on all the events and topics of
conversation in the salons of that Capital, and faithfully reflects
The tone of its fashionable life. • •
CUTIVIt FRENCH LITERATURE will be made the subject of
criticism, not only, for the student but also with a view to the
wants of English
The object of THE MORNING CHRONICLE, in reporting
thO,PARLIANIENTAY DEBATES, is to preserve all that if/ impor-
tant and interesting, but to discard, or compress, all that, is
unimportant, or of le,s value. To this end, while the Arfirit
of every soeech"will be carefully preeerved. those -of smaller
interest will be materially abridged, for the double purpose of
making the DERA.TES readable, and leaving room in the paper
for more interesting matter.
The importance of the great IlAii.trAv TNTEREST of th
Ern:dre will command- for it the • fullest attention in THE
MORNING ,CHRONICLE. The,publie will be provided with
the best information as to this class of Securities.
The Proprietors think it almost needless to add,' that in all
the ordinary attribUtes of a newspaper. THE MORNING
CHRONICLE is in no'res3ect behind its contemporaries.
THE MORNING CHRONICLE is printed on the best
paper, and published 'every morning in time for the Morning
Hails. In case of the arrival, by Telegraph or otherivise, of
very important Intelligence, SUBSEQUENT EDITIONS are
published.

Tat; CUSTOMS ACTS.

The following suggestions have been addressed
to Mr. Gladstone by an influential committee of ,
London merchants :

-"London, March 3:
" S It, —ln compliance with the obligingly isiscontain ed
in your favour of the 21st ult., we have the honour .to
submit for your consideration the following suggestions,.
more specifically embOdying the objections we entertain
to Resolutions 11, 12, and 13; to be proposed in the
Committee on Customs Acts, and. Resolutions 1 and 2
in Committee of Ways and Means. ,
"We stated in our previous communication that, by _
the action 'of Resolution 11, various articles of import
and export would be subject to severe and unequal '
pressure,' This is easily capable of demonstrations
"The ldupon a package of tea,
,tobacco, sugar, silk,
indigo, &c., cc upon any article of this valuable nature,
is doubtless a mere trifle, and any inequalities could be
readily adjusted ;• but there are many deacriptioris of
goods- of small Value, ranging from 2a to 105; perpackage,
.upon which this charge. will amount tears= one to .four
per cent., or fully as much as the entire
_profit to be ,
expected to be derived by the merchant. The tranship:-
: merit of goods to the..cblonies and to foreign countries,
is the• trade most likely.to be affected by this iveasuie •
-branch of commerce :in our opinion off-such. ,vast
importance as to deserve every possible facility for its
extension, being the unmistakeable evidence Of the well
working of the system 'by which thii country inaintains
its porfition as the emporium of the world. " .
" The only. apparent solution of. the difficultrsigers
itself in the shapeof , an
,ati valorem tariff; but this:sre
believe would oppose impediments to trade equally-
obnoxious. It would necessitate' continual references.
,• to the scale established, would cause constant collisions..
with the Customs officers, and ,wonld reader necessary
formalities at the time of ,shipment most vexatious and'
' fertile in causes of deity. No sufficient indication has.
been given of the mode by which this tax is proposed to.
be collected; but, so far as weean learns this point also
is surrounded with almost insurmountable difficulties.
"We take leave now to comment .upen the reasons
given for the imposition.of this'tax.
"That it is needful for the purpose of obtainin' g'inore
correct statistic's of trade.- This we cannot admit in any
shape, Itis proposed to be charged upon! articles already
paying dirty, of ,whieh-the statistics aft• necessarily per-
fect,. while of non-dutiable articles it will, Merely serve
to show that a'certain number of packages putistid; eischr
without specifying either quantity Or quality.
"2. That because four-fifths of the export and imsayst
trade of the country is absolutely relievjsd from the
'pressure of Customs duties, thfs due is intended to make,
a moderate contribution' from "trade itself tow ands the'. -si•
heavy charge of 'the Customs ; but surely we may isrges,:; 'l'.
that the converse of this proposition is equally true, 4114 •
that at present the whole, pressure of Cnstorres ditties ix'
borne by one-fifth of the tsade of the country (alinostt
entirely the importation of &reign and colonial produce))'
upon which, as we' not' obserie: thetsthere 'is fair
intention :to- make a distinction between free gOodsandi., •
. these already subject to duty, it is, raw proposed to levy,-
..
this and other new taxes.
"Hain; now stated Otis OhjeCtions to this resolutiOn,
we think it flue to your courtesy to add that,•observing
it is yoursopiniort that the requisite classifications will' sg
not be difficult,'; .wc beg to tender our practical expe-
'rience, if required, in aid of. the result you anticipate.
"The 12th reseletion'has received' such Unanisaisis
ply
condethnation at the hands of. every pei-son able to tnitt::,('7l
an estimate of itg probable effect that we -acee'pt, vsitiiLssisd
pleasures the intimation that in regard,to it :!Liddifferents ton
form Of proceeding may be preferable.'
"The warehousing 'Charges', we Asii4,9"lari' also,
admitted to he too' high, and susceptible of alteration.. -1i
This, a veryscuraory glance at the actual amount to bosriels
charged on particular articles, clearly demonstrates. • srst
" Sorne of the operatioss are necessarily inherent to,
.•
the goods operated upon.
" Some are-fdis the convenieneefof tradecisAt
" Some are called far -by reason' datagei. in transit
from the place of production.
• 4Of the first are coffee, sugar, pepper, S.:c.; on these
the dock charge for performing • the operations averages,
about 4ds and.6d4-while it is proposed that the Customs, • '
shall receive . es per . package for Permitting; them. Those;
for the. cenvenie.nce. of trade, .such as repacking into,
~..
,small packages, &c., rated equally put of proportions
to the duti;s`disehiirged ; while we ca' Only Suppose the.
application of the ,tag to the last 'class can scarcely be:
intended. . hire :ti's .
" Taking one article: as. an example, viz., tea, whielk_,
already contributes one-fifth of the Customs revenue of
the country; the charge proposed is on the average ten-
fold greater than that now made by therCustonissard
would exceed the actual Amount of . the chafgessof thefsi
dock companies, by whom the eperations, in. question,. ss
Are, in fact, performed.
" It should also be remembered that these operatirmaj4'j
have the object of rendering Merchantable the goerli; llr
operated upon, which however much' deteriorated, eon-so
trary to the customs of some other countries, pay gaols
same duty as if sound. A portion of these would other-
wise require to be destroyed, and so occasion a loss of,
the entire duty to, the Government. Finally, we beg,,
with due' respect, to 'remark: that all these charges uponiji;
dutiable. articles form an , appreciable' 'additions to %be, n
Customs duties already fixed by Parliament, while uponstq
two of the most important and of prime necessities war
duties have 'been continued for the purpose of giving(
relief to the consumers of various imports, chieflY•wines.
and spirits.

"With. regard to the proposed stamp upon dock_ at;
warrants, it gives us sincere gratification to learn tiliat
fir
the resolution as worded 'is not intended to apply to,
all the cases which were supposed to have been com- 1-11 i
prised in it. It is impossible to value too highly the • cirri
Advantages of the warrant system ; and we are 4.-
ttoiS
opinion that any cause tending to lessen its widest.
„iy-
applicatien, would be a heavy blow to trade. Wei
would :respectfully submit that the impost of 3d.,,
though, apparently low, will. be a serious charge upon,- rat
some articles for which warrants are taken out, and. cni
that the necessities of the case might be net by toil
reducing it to la., from which, in all prebahility, as.
)ide
great a revenue would be derived.

"The resolution in regard to contnieta is so general;
comprising apparently every ,transaction of commerce, 6
and the limitations expressed in your favour under reply
211,
are so undefined that we feel a ditlicilltY,in giving anl
opinion on' the subject. We. Confine ourselies, therefoik.llTT°
for the present, to suggesting that, at all-events, should' tnrf,
your decision be adverse to ,our views, no doubt ,shoaldiffyan
be left as to the case to which the impost may be in- irrig
tended legally to apply, and that the 'same transaction
should not be liable to more thin one charge.
