COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARX-LANE.—TIIIS DAY.
There was very little English Wheat fresh up for this
morning's market, and it realised much the same prices as
on Monday. The receipts of foreign Wheat and Flour have
been moderate this week. Holders are firm, and needy
buyers have to pay former rates.
Barley sold in retail at the quotations of Monday last.
The arrivals of Oats having been small, factors had no
difficulty in supporting previous value.
Beans and Peas scarce, and fully as dear as in the early
part of the week.

CUSTOMS SEIZURT.S.—The Board of Customs have

select committee of the Rouse of Commons on the constitu-

6th head of which report the committee suggest " that
whenever an dicer seizes or stops property, he shall state
ia writing the ground of that proceeding, so that the mer-
chant or his agent wry know with what he is charged."
The board, by a general order dated November 29, 1817,
have directed their officers, in all cases of seizure of goods
or vessels, where the proprietors are desirous of being ac-
quainted with the cause of seizure, not to withhold an
proper information from the parties; and whilo the board
have no reason to believe that in any new the parties have
been kept in ignorance of the ground of seizure, they now,
in conformity with the suggestion of the select committee,
have directed that in future cases of s.istire or stoppage the
merchants or other persons, when the owners are known,
be furnished by the detaining officer, without delay, with
• communication in writing specifying the grounds of de-
tention; and the board have further directed that • public
notice on the subject be :exhibited at the Customhouse in
London, and at the several ports and places throughout the
United Kingdom, for the information of all parties con-
cerned.
