THE IMPORT DUTY ON GRAIN.—A committee
appointed by the corn trade represented to the Governmeo
some time since that it would be a great convenience if the
import duty on grain were levied by weight instead of bi
measure ; the trade generally buy and sell by weight, aua
it is of importance to the merchants that the returns made of
their importations by the officers of customs should ewe'
spond, in the principle on which they are calculated, wit!
the accounts between buyer and seller. At present the dutY
is is per qr., imposed for revenue and statistical purPeeet;
when the corn laws were repealed in 1846. The subject /1"
been referred by the Treasury to the Commissioners of Cue
toms, and they have reported in favour of a duty of 3d pet;
owt on all kinds of grain, including lentils, millet seed, Or
dari, which are considered fairly liable to the duty. It
calculated that the loss to the revenue by this change wow
be over £2,000 year ; but that is almost inappreciable in
revenue which has fluctuated in three years, from 1859 W
1861, to the extent of £250,000. In 1857 it was under'
£500,000; in 1862 it exceeded £BOO,OOO.
