THE PRODUCE OF COCILIN.

The following memorial has been addressed to t ; the
Treasury, in consequence of a regulation, by whicl I the
produce of Cochin was admitted as British, having 'been

they are enforced, as in the present case, withou t due

should be so considered, a copy of which order we l lave
the honour to annex.

" Upon the faith of the above, we and our ea ITO'
pondents have shipped largely bf ginger and other pro'
duce, and we now find that, after paying duty of 55.
per cwt. on 7 cases of ginger, cx Royal Charlie, ' from'
Cochin, a further foreign duty of 55., or 10s. per c'w t. is
all, is demanded.

"We submit to your lordships the great injt istice
done to us by this proceeding, and submit that, ij dor°
any such alteration take effect, ample time shots id be
given to communicate with shippers from Cochin' and
that all shipments here and on the way should b a".
mitted at the lower duty, and which we trusti your
lordships will be pleased to order.—We have the hf moor
to be your lordships', &c., "D. DUNBAR AND SO4 NS.

REMOVAL OF TEMPLE BAR.—A correspondent to a COw
temporary suggests • the removal of Temple Bar •to the
New Smithfield-market, where he says it might leorrn a

opportunity of paying a graceful and appropriate tribute
to the spirit of improvement which at the presen t time,
in its onward progress, is steadilyremoving all those old
nuisances which for a very lengthened period have dis-
graced our great metropolis.

friends of the cause, and that is) that the recent move,

To be sure, ' the heathen rage, and the people imagine_
great many vain things ;' but yet on this subject Boit
