Mr. Gladstone has addressed another explanatory
letter to "The Committee of Importers and others,"
I who had forwarded to him remonstrances against
the penny registration due against the charges roe
removal end operations in warehouse, and against
the stomp proposed upon dock warrants and
contract notes. Mr. Gladstone admits that
" most or all of theee resolutions may require
to be modified ;" bat the details of the modifications
cannot be settled until the House of Commons shall
have dealt with the larger and more vital questions
involved in the scheme for the remission of duties."
Meanwhile, he solicits suggestions. Mr. Gladstone
further admits that many of the proposed warehous-
ing charges are to,. nigh, and reilars.ii an expreesion
of commercial opinion upon an alternative proposal,
urged by a deputation from Liverpool, that all
dealers in bonded goods should be required to take
out an annual license. Dock warrants are " not in-
tended to be liable to those frequent repetitions of
the charge imposed which has been apprehended;'
and, with regard to contract notes, bills of parcels are
not contemplated in the new tax. In the entire
communication the Chancellor of the Exchequer
again defers gracefully to the representations of the
commercial community. Government are desirous of
carrying out their nicely-balanced and well-digeeted
system of remissions or and additions to taxation;
but it is their eat nest wish not to prase upou any
interest. Mr. Gladstoue's tone contrasts advan-
tageously with that imported into some or the mer-
cantile discussions of these questions.
The advice, from Bombay report a rise of 2 per
cent, in the rates of discount. The prices of the
Indian government notes, which are rising here,
come quotedabout 3 per rent, lower than by the pre-
vious mail. This contradictory movement would .
appear to increase the probability of exchanges from
the Bombay to the London market.
Accord'ng to the accounts from Perim, the ex-
pected subscription for 10,000,0001. of obligations of
the railway companies will probably be announced
in Apri', after the general meetings.

Gazette to be stayed.

ley, and Whaleybridge Railway Company states the
