THE PRODUCE OF COCIIIN.

The following memorial has been addressed to the
Treasury, in consequence of a regulation, by
which the
produce of Cochin was admitted as British, having been

suddenly rescinded. Changes of this kind must alwaYl3
be hurtful to commerce, but more especially so wile°
they are enforced, as in the present case, without dll°
notice :

"TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS °I

HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
"May it please your Lordships,—
"We have been for some years large importers If
produce from Cochin, on the Malabar coast, and whicl
produce has always been admitted as British-grown, a.n,.
which was more fully confirmed by your lordships' °Nei
of the 12th of April last, expressly directing that 1
should be so considered, a copy of which order we hol".
the honour to annex.

" Upon the faith of the above, we and our coal,
pondents have shipped largely of ginger and other p,r,
duce, and we now find that, after paying duty of
per cwt. on 7 cases of ginger, ex Royal Charlie, fro!!
Cochin, a further foreign duty of 55., or 10s, per cwt. 1P
all, is demanded.
"We submit to your lordships the great jujus°,
done to us by this proceeding, and submit that, bef A;
any such alteration take effect, ample time should ba
given to communicate with shippers from Cochin, 1113_,1
that all shipments hero and on the way should be ads
mated at the lower duty, and which we trust yo-
lordships will be pleased to order.—We have the honour
to be your lordships', &c., "D. DUNBAR AND SONS.

nuisances which for a very lengthened period have
graced our great metropolis.
