The total amount of duty paid within the Stetter-
Verein for the 12 months ending Ist July, 1848, wu
1,847,942 dollars, or '47 2-8 silver groschen per head,
which is a fraction above the average of the previous
5 years. Since the publication of the above returns,
and within the last few days, the Hanoverian govern-
meat have given notice of their intention to submit
to the Assembly a proposition to provide for the
deficit in the revenue by an increase of duty on some
of the leading articles of consumption. The follow-
ing table shows the rate of present duty, the duty
proposed, and the duty paid on the same articles in
the Zollverein at the present time :

Orsoss.Vmano.

1846, under a low rate of duty, the Stener-Verein-
with • population of 1,990.000, received in import
duty 1,831,586 dollars, equal to 27 8.12 silver grog
often, or about 2s. 711 sterling per head ; and the;
Zollverein, with a high re.e of duty, and a population
of 29,090,000, received in import duty 27,111,624 dole.,
equal to 27 11.12 silver grosehen, or about 24.70.
sterling per head. The amount of duty per head derived
from the operation of the high and low rates of duty
being nearly equal, it follows that the consumption
Per head in the Zollverein was u much less than
that of the Stener-Verein, as the rates of duty in the
former union exceeded those of the latter; in other
words, the consumption in the Zillverein was in the
aggregate less than one half of that which is shown
re occurred under the low scale of duty. No
greater proof, we think, can be adduced of the enema-
ragement ven to consumption by a low scale of duty,
ana of the comparative advantages possessed by those
who live under a government which cares for the
comforts of the people.
The documents received by the committee of
Spanish American bondholders from Venezuela, are
too voluminous to by published in extenso, but the
following summary comprises the substance of the
information comprised therein.
The government will appoint • commission in Lon-
don, for receiving the remittances atd paying the
dividends, to be composed of the Venezuelen Consul,
and two other gentlemen, to be name I by the com-
mittee. The fourth part of the customs' duties
appropriated towards the domestic and foreign debt,
is to be distributed as follows :-22..1 per cent, to the
domestic, and 774 tier cent. to the foreign debt. The
executive have recommended to the Congress a plan
for liquidating the arrears. The government declines
acceding to the committee's suggestion for app
agents m Venezuela (similar to what takes place in
Mexico), for receiving the funds from the custom-
houses and remitting them to England, but under-
takes to make the remittances itself.

The committee have nominated the following gen-
tlemen, on its part, to act with the Venezuelan Consul
as the commission of agency in London, viz., Baron
de Goldemid, the chairman, and J. L. Bowles, E q.,
deputy chairman of the committee.
