AN OUT-OF-THE-WAY BANQUETING Ram.—The West
Ham Distillery Company, which has given notice to supply
customers in February, will, it is said, initiate its business
with a dinner to sixty gentlemen in one of the mighty vats
which form a portion of its enormous plant, newly erected
at an expense of £30,000.
TEA DUTIES DECLINE SUSPENSION ACT.—This act, which
was passed in 1855, to suspend the tea duties on account of
the war, will reduce the tea duties to is 3d the pound from
sth April next for twelve months, and thence after to
one shilling the pound. The act speaks of a " definitive
treaty of peace," and the twelve months expires in April,
whereas the income tax of the same year mentions the
" ratification" of the treaty, which would carry it twelve
months further. There can be no doubt that it was the
intention of the Legislature, that the alterations in both
cases should be in twelve month■ from the cessation of the
war.
