tion of the Town Council a meeting of the principal in-
habitants of the district was held at the Town Hall, on
Saturday, under the presidency of the Mayor, for the pur-
pose of appointing a committee to act in co-operation with,
the committee of the council, in inviting the Royal Agri-
cultural Society to hold its meeting in Leeds in 1861. The
meeting was of a most satisfactory character, for not only
were letters read from the leading gentlemen of the district
offering their support, but subscriptions to the amount of
nearly 9001. were announced. A committee was appointed
to act conjointly with the committee of the Town Council,
and it wee resolved to raise a subscription of 5,000/.
to offer the society 1,5001. as a gift. in the event
of the meeting being held here in 1861. At
the close of the meeting, the committee met
in one of the anterooms, and before rising ad
the queries forwarded by the secretary were answered,
the resolutions of the council were sealed, and the neoesessy
documents were despatched the same night. A deputatioa
from the society will shortly visit the localities forwarding
invitations, and subsequently the council of the society wig
realms deputations been those locehtiea, when the question
will be decided. Should the invitation of Leeds beoopted
efforts will be made to render the meeting in eve/ rape*

festival during the visit of the society. We understaad •

WINN IN BOND.—Tlie recent cases which have
been brought before the public notice, in which it has been ,
tolerably evident that the wines left In the vaults at the
London docks have been tampered with, may have caused •
some of your readers to ask how itis that the Inherent wine-
merchants in Loudon do not keep their stock in some wafto
house of their urn, saki tinder their own en ' •
in which sae' such frauds would be impomi elrl ? The)
answer to this question is simple enough. The wise
has to be kept for years after in arrival in this country,
before its required ; therefore, if the merchant were to pay
the duty, which be must if be wants to take his wine
away, he would be, during all these years, losing the inte-
rest ef his messy. While the wine remains at the docks it
pays se duty; consequently, during all the time that it he.
there going through its maturing preens the paseesor of it
is able to keep hie money, and make use of it. Private bonded
werehemes, where the wine would be saaropt from duty,
are only savored within four hundred yards from the river.
The shipping expenses connected with them are very heavy.
There are few merchants whose Mock would be enough to
