NEW TONNAGE DUTY AT HAVRE.—SUNDERLAND,
JANUARY 12.—A shipowner of this port has received a
letter from the muter of one of his ships, now at Havre de
Grace, who states that on the Ist instant a new impost of
' 6d. per registered ton on all ships entering that port came
into operation, which is muted by the expense incurred in
the formation of a new dock. This additional item will re-
quire consideration from shipowners in chartering their
&lip for the port of Havre.
FLAX CULTURE IN THE SOUTH OP IRELAND.—
Mx. Samuel N. Penrose gives the following infor-
mation respecting the flax crop of last season, grown
on the Earl of Bandon's estate in the distnct of
Balliaeen :—" There were upwards of 400 acres of
land sown with flax, on his lordship's estate,
and a great number of the tenants sold their crop standing
at rates varying from 61. 10s. to 81. per acre, the buyers
laving the crop themselves. Amongst those who did not
sell their crop were two, who had a most extraordinary re •
turn. One of them, who saved three bushels of seed, has
67 stones of scotched flax, each stone weighing IBi lbs., and
20 bushels of seed, the value of which is upwards of 301.,
after including the expense of 'catching, being payment at
the rate of 201. per acre. The other has 62 stone of scotched
flax ready for market, from 24 bushels of seed; this person
saved no seed, but his flax is of better quality, and, in all
probability, will pay him better than hie neighbour."
