THE IMPORT DUTY ON GRAIL—A committee
appointed by the corn trade represented to the Government
some time since that it would be a great convenience if the
import duty on grain were levied by weight instead of bl
measure ; the trade generally buy and sell by weight, andt
it is of importance to the merchants that the returns roads e'
their importations by the officers of customs should corre'
spond, in the principle on which they are calculated, with
the accounts between buyer and seller. At present the duty
is is per qr., imposed for revenue and statistical purpose°
when the corn laws were repealed in 1846. The subject hag
been referred by the Treasury to the Commissioners of Cue'
toms, and they have reported in favour of a duty of 3d Per
owt on all kinds of grain, including lentils, millet seed, spa
dari, which are considered fairly liable to the duty. It I
calculated that the loss to the revenue by this change wolll'
be over £2,000 year , but that is almost inappreciable in e'
revenue which has fluctuated in three years, from 1869 to
1861, to the extent of £250,000. In 1857 it was under
£500,000; in 1862 it exceeded £BOO,OOO.
