BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, FEB. 3.
The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade have received, from the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, the following copy of a procla-
mation forwarded by her Majesty's Charg4 d'Affaires at
Washington, respecting the Port of St. Alban's, Ver-
mont :

OFFICIAL.—THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
By the President of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas the Act of Congress of the 28th of Septem-
ber, 1850, entitled "An Act to create additional collec-
tion districts in the State of California, and to change
the existing districts therein, and to modify the exist-
ing collection districts in the United States," extends to
merchandise warehoused under bond, the privilege of being
exported to the British North American Provinces ad-
joining the United States, in the manner prescribed in
the Act of Congress of the 3d of March, 1845, which
designates certain frontier ports through which merchan-
dise may be exported, and further provides "that such
other ports situated on the frontiers of the United States,
adjoining the British North American Provinces as may here-
after be found expedient, may have extended to them the like
privileges on the recommendation of the Secretary of tho
Treasury, and proclamation duly made by the President of
the United States, specially designating the ports to which
the aforesaid privileges areto be extended."

Now therefore 1., Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States of America, in accordance with the recom-
mendation of the Secretary of the Treasury, do hereby de-
clare and proclaim that the port of St. Albans, in the State
of Vermont is, and shall be entitled to all the privileges in
regard to the exportation of merchandise in bond to the
British North American Provinces adjoining the United
States, which are extended to the ports enumerated in the
seventh section of the Act of Congress of the 3d of March,
1845, aforesaid, from and after the date of this proclama-
tion.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this tenth day of
January, in the year of our Lord 1865, and of the Indepen-
dence of the United States the eighty-ninth.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

By the President,
Wm. H. SEwRAD, Secretary of State.

Whereas it appears to me, the Right Hon. Sir G. Grey,
Bart., one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State,
that the use of locomJtives, unless restricted as hereinafter
stated, on or along the highways in the division of Bulmer
West, in the North Riding of the county of York, is dan-
gerous and inconvenient to the public :
I do hereby, by virture of the provisions of the Locomo-
tive Act, 1861, by this order under my hand, prohibit the
use of any kind of locomotive whatever, propelled by steam
or any other than animal power, on the above roads, except
between the hours of twelve o'clock at night and six o'clock
in the morning,
Given under my hand at Whitehall, this 2nd day of
February, 1865.

(Signed) G. GREY.
