THE CITY AND THE WEST.

'THE City and the West-end are constantly
Jlt con-
tending for the palm of superiority in matters offashion. Each
asserts its claim to public preference, and thus Is a jealous emulation
maintained between these two great rivals. It is not the practice
of L. ETYMA to make insidious allusions, either to Indh;duals or
localities; but, nevertheless, the propeetor is bold in asserting, that
"the City" is not the only "nucleus" of commereial enterprise
and wealth, but the centre of a system of fashion, around which
subordinate satellites revolve.
In spite of the endeavours to establish a species of aristocracy in
the West-end tailoring trade, it is an irrefragible fact, that " the
City" is distinguished in this branch of business aid art beyond any
and every other locality.
L HYAM, situated, as he is, in the very heart of the British capi-
tal, vindicates the high character of his tailoring and clothing esta-
blishment, by a display of gentlemen's and youths' attire, compared
with which all other samples must partially sink in public esti-
mation.
Let the public see and judge for themselves. Let them exaoine
impartially the novelty, excellence, and durability of the new spring
articles of dress, in ma'erial and general manufacture. Let them
calculate the immense saving effected by the great economy of L.
IiYAW3 charges, and they will be convinced of the fact, that the
superior claim to public support is undoubtedly possessed by " the
City," so far, at least, as the offers of L. IIYAM are concerned.
OBSERVE I—L. lIYAM begs to state that ho has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Graceeluirch-street,
City (establishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
ness-carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with
good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound w,..rkmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.

13. CODIFICATION.

My lords advert to the fact, that prior to 1825 the statutes
relating to the Customs amounted to no fewer than fifteen
hundred ; that they were then consolidated into nine acts,
viz. :—Management, Regulation, Smuggling, Navigation, Re-
gistry, Duties, Warehousing, British Possessions, Isle of Man :
all the former ants being then repealed ; that these several
acts were again consolidated in 1836 ; and that again hi 1845
the late solicitor to the Customs framed another consolidation,
including the new laws and regulations which had been
adopted in the meantime. Since that time many amendments,
both in law and in practice, have been made, which would of
themselves form a sufficient reason for a now consolidation of
the present laws and practices as they exist ; but referring to
the numerous important changes embraced in this present
minute, which my lords are pleased to direct to be carried
into effect, my lords desire that a new consolidation of the
whole Customs laws shall be made, in accordance with this
minute, and to combine all the now provisions of the laws
passed since the last revision, and such parts of the new prac-
tices as, sanctioned from time to time by their lordships in-
structions, it is desirable to include in such act, and that the
same shall be completed with all possible speed; and that a
consolidation of all Government orders, •which it is thought
better not to include iu such consolidated act, shall be made
forthwith and published; and that all new orders and regula-
tions as shall in future be adopted shall be continued to be
piblished from month to month, in accordance with the prac-
tice which has hitherto peen pursued, in order that merchants
'may have at all times an easy mode of ascertaining the board's
orders and the changes in respect thereto.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

From the London New Price Current of this day.)

- -
SUGAR.—To-day there was a reluctance on the part of
refiners and grocers to do business in West India, although
there were sellers in some cases under the prices of Friday
last. Purchases amounted to 522 hhds and tierces, in-
cluding at auction 120 hhds and 90 bits Demerara crystal-
ized, which sold at moderate prices ; low to fine greyish
at 35s to 40s, and brown at 33s to 34.9 6d. Total trans-
actions for the week are 1,385 hhds and tierces.
REFINED.—To-day refined sugar met with a brisk home
trade demand, and the currency is firm. Brown lumps at
458 Gd to 48s, low to fine grocery 46s 6d to 495. per cwt.
Prices are maintained for crushed sugar, there being
several export buyers.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon importers of Mauritius
sugar were desirous to realise, and accepted prices 6d under
those of this day week. Still at auction 12,400 bags were
nearly all sold—low to good mid yellow went at 30s 6d to
35s 6d, good to fine 36s to 375, mid to fine brown 31s to
33s 6(1, and refining from 32s to 36s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—To-day Bengal sugar was purchased with
reluctance, and the decline for the week is 6d to 18 per
cwt. Of 3,000 bags in auction not above one half sold ;
low to good white Bengal 34s 6d to 36s Gd, a few lots of
low grainy 338 to 345, and mid grainy white 408. Madras
is rather lower, making a decline for the week of Gd to is.
At public sale 3,100 bags nearly all sold soft brown at 275.
to 28s, and ord yellow 28s to 295.
COFFEE.—To-day the private operations in native Cey-
lon coffee were trifling, and at auction 300 bags were taken
in at 48s Gd per cwt. for good ord. The market for plan-
tation has a dull aspect, but prices are not lower than yes-
terday.
TEA.—The proposed reduction of duty has not produced
that excitement in the market that ytas expected. On
Congou the advance has not exceeded
per lb, but large
transacttons have taken place, the better sorts having been
most in request, and home dealers the leadi ig operators.
TALLOW.—The proposed repeal of the soap duties has
caused a considerable demand to prevail for Russian on the
spot, and produced an advance. Fine yellow candle reali-
sing 46s 9d to.-47s per cwt. Important contracts have been
entered into for delivery, and 47s 3d to 473 6d paid for last
three months of the year.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals, of the 16th, have arrived.
The ministers went on the previous day to Aran-
juez to kiss the hands of Queen Christina on their
appointment, and ou their return they held a coun-
cil under the presidency of Queen Isabella. It was
said that the council was occupied with financial
matters, and did not touch on those of a political
nature. It was rumoured, and it was said not
without authority, that the ministers have resolved
not to assemble the Cortes before September next,
in order to afford time for the preparation of bills,
and for calming the irritation, and, if possible,
healing the divisions of the moderate party.

14. OUTPORTS.

My lords aro deeply impressed with the great change which
has taken place of late years in the relative importance of
London and some of the other ports in the kingdom, especially
Liverpool, where the magnitude of the business is now such
as to entitle it to the greatest consideration, and more espe-
cially as, from its situation, .it is obvious that its importance
must more and more increase from year to year ; and my
lords therefore entirely concur in the scope of the recom-
mendations of the committee in this respect.' They are, more-
over, gratified to find that the Commissioners of Customs, par-
ticipating in these views, have already taken some important
steps in order to carry into effect the recommendations of the
committee so far. But my lords view this matter as so
closely connected with the consideration which they propose
to enter upon separately in relation to the general constitu-
tion of the Board of Customs, that they must defer their de-
cision thereon till then. In the meantime, my lords must
express their approval of the steps taken, in pursuance of
this recommendation of the committee, by the Commissioners
of Customs.
My lords are, however, of opinion that, at least so far as
regards the port of Liverpool, an immediate arrangement may
be made, by which, as recommended by the committee, cases
not involving more than 1001. of revenue shall be decided on
the spot, but subject to the qualification that in all cases,
whatever the amount may be, where the circumstances are of
an unusual or difficult character, reference shall be made to
London, and subject to such other general qualifications,•
structions, and directions as shall from time to timebe issued
by my lords or the Commissioners of Customs ; and my lords are

11. HOURS OF ATTENDANCE.

Upon taking a careful review of this subject, my lords are
of opinion that the existing plans, as described in the report
of the commissioners, should not be disturbed, except, as has
long been the practice, toltodify the hours of attendance for
different ports and for different portions of the service, as a
change of circumstances may from time to time render desir-
able, and to make provision for special cases.
My lords could not 'expect to establish any general increase
in the hours of attendance, without adding to the present
emoluments of the different officers so affected ; and they do
not think that the advantage gained by the public would be
commensurate with the great additional cost to the nation.
Again, in considering this case, my lords cannot leave out
of view the important facts : lst. that from the situation of
the docks and custom-houses in London and Liverpool, the
majority of those employed in them must live at a considera-
ble distance from the spot, and therefore that the hours occu-
pied from the time they leave home till the hour they reach it,
add considerably to the nominal hours of engagement ; and,
2dly, that there is a great tendency at this time to a general
reduction in the hours of business, and that recently it has
been adopted by London banks to the extent of one hour. If,
however, it shall appear that particular services in the Cus-
toms out-door department in London and Liverpool, which,
from the locality in which they are to be performed, offer
greater facilities for officers living close to their work, or any
other special
,circumstances which render longer hours need-
ful, my lords reserve to themselves the right to sanction such
extension of hours, with or without an increase of pay, as the
case • _ may require. - -

But adverting to the great pains which has been taken from
time to time to adapt the regulations with respect to the hours
of business to the special character of the business and the
circumstances of the different ports, as well as to meet the
convenience of merchants in all the ports under special cases,
my lords are pleased to direct that every care shall be taken
in this way to study-the convenience and. comply with the
fair wishes of merchants, as altered circumstances from time
to time may render necessary; and, above all, to extend ad-
ditional facility in cases where private persons are ready to
defray the cost thereof.
London, England, 1853-04-22

8. FINES ON SHIPPING.

My lords aro of opinion that the views of tho committee are
now sufficiently provided for by the law and by the practice of
its administration as they exist.

9. BONDING OR WAREHOUSING SYSTEU.

MY lords refer to the complaints made before the committee,
that the original importer of goods is liable by law for all
duties thereon however long they remain in bond, and al-
though he may have parted with them for many years, and
of the consequent hardship to which he is exposed in being
called upon to pay such duties in the event of the reputed
owner at the moment not doing so : and the goods have
either wasted or deteriorated so much in the meantime, as
not to be worth the duty to which they were liable. And
they suggest that the warehouse-keeper, and not the impor-
ter, should be liable therefore. And also to a complaint
(especially from Liverpool), that the warehouses known by
the name of those of " special security," as distinguished
from those of " ordinary security," have an undue advantage
in the fact of non-liability for duty on deficiencies, except
when fraud is expected.
My lords agree that the law, as it stands, is very unsatis-
factory in these reports ; and they are of opinion that the fol-
lowing changes may be adopted with great advantage of all
parties :
That the original importer shall be held, as at present, liable
for the duty on the goods from the time they are imported ;
but that on parting with the goods, he shall be at liberty to
cause a re-entry of the same to bo made in the name of the

BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.

Tne committee sat this morning for the first time.
Mr. Ker Seymour in the chair.
The counsel for the petitioners were Mr. Slade and
Mr. Hawkins ; 'for the sitting members Mr. James and
Mr. Rowe.

Mr. Slade opened the case on behalf of the petitioners.
The allegation in the petition was that of extensive
treating ; large sums of money also had been paid for
supposed services. A man of the name of Nicholson
received 1/. for a promise to vote for both of the sitting
members, and 51. after having voted.
There were several other cases of direct bribery which
he would bring before the com-.-aittee.

NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—In the House of Commons,
last night, on the motion of Mr. Bright, a return was
ordered of all the newspapers in the United Kingdom to
which halfpenny stamps were issued during the year
1852—stating the number of such stamps issued to each
newspaper, and the amount paid to the Stamp-office by
each on account of such stamps. Mr. Bright should
amend the return by moving for the amount of penny
stamps issued as supplements, as well as those at one
halfpenny, for there must have been a large number of
penny ones.
ManiNE SOCIETY.—The general quarterly court of
the governors of this corporation was yesterday held, in
their ball, Bishopsgate- street ; Lord Romney, president,
in the chair. The minutes of the annual court having
been read and confirmed, the secretary presented the
report of the committee as to the working of the society
for the quarter. It stated that the number of boys on
board the Venus, lying off Charlton, was upon the let
of January, 150, and that 155 had been since admitted,
making a total of 305. Of these 20 were supplied to the
Royal Navy, 133 to the merchant service, and two dis-
charged ; so that 150 remained on board upon the 31st
March. Upon Hick's foundation nine boys and girls
were apprenticed. The society also supplied 33 appren-
tices with clothes. The receipts from ordinary sources
of income amounted to 2,1171. 10s. 6d., to which is to be
added 550'., the portion of Miss Hardwicke's legacy to
the London charities, awarded to the society by her
executors, making the total receipts for the quarter
amount to 2,6671. 10s. 6d. The expenditure for the
same period amounted to 2,0841. 12s. 9d., showing a
balance of 582/. 17s. 9d. in favour of the society. The
report was adopted. The salary of the secretary was
then increased, as was the monthly pay of the mate and
officers of the society's ship. Some other routine busi-
ness having been disposed of,
theproceedings terminated
with a vote of thanks to thechairman. •

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals, of the 16th, have arrived.
The ministers went on the previous day to Arau-
juez to kiss the hands of Queen Christina on their
appointment, and on their return they held a coun-
cil under the presidency of Queen Isabella. It was
said that the council was occupied with financial
matters, and did not touch on those of a political
nature. It was rumoured, and it was said not
without authority, that the ministers have resolved
not to assemble the Cortes before September next,
in order to afford time for the preparation of bills,
and for calming the irritation, and, if possible,
healing the divisions of the moderate party.

8. PINES ON SHIPPING.

My lords are of opinion that the views of the committee are
now sufficiently provided for by the law and by the practice of
its administration as they exist.

9. BONDING OR WAREHOUSING SYSTEM.

My lords refer to the complaints made before the committee,
that the original• importer of goods is liable by law for all
duties thereon however long they remain in bond, and al-
though he may have parted with them for many years, and
of the consequent hardship to which he is exposed in being
called upon to pay such duties in the event of the reputed
owner at the moment not doing so : and the goods have
either wasted or deteriorated so much in the meantime, as
not to be worth the duty to which they Were liable. And
they suggest that the warehouse-keeper, and not the impor-
ter, should be liable therefore. And also to a complaint
(especially from Liverpool), that the warehouses known by
the name of those of " special security," as distinguished
from-those of " ordinary security," have an undue advantage
in the fact of non-liability for duty on deficiencies, except
when fraud is expected.
My lords agree that the law, as it stands, is very unsatis-
factory iu these reports ; and they are of opinion that the fol-
lowing changes may be adopted with great advantage of all
parties :
That the original importer shall be held, as at present, liable
for the duty on the goods from the time they aro imported ;
but that on parting with the goods, he shall be at liberty to
cause a re-entry of the same to be made. in the name of the
new proprietor, who shall thereafter be held responsible—
the liability of the original proprietor ceasing from that time,
except as to any deficiency which shall then be proved to
exist ; the duty upon which shall be paid at the time of such
re-entry being made. And that in all cases it shall be the
duty of the Customs to cause stock to he taken of all goods
which shall have remained in bond five years, and to assess
and require payment of the duty on the deficiency, if more
than allowed by law, which shall then exist, • and cause the
balance of stock to be cleared or re-warehoused as on first
importation.
But my lords are also of opinion that in all cases, both

warehouses of " special" and of " ordinary" security, the
warehouse-keeper ought, in accordance with the recommenda-
tion of the committee, to be held liable to the Crown for the
duties upon deficiencies exceeding the quantities allowed by
law. My lords are clearly of opinion that, whatever reason

1. CONSTITUTION OF THE BOARD OF CUSTOMS.

As the immediate object which my lords have in view in
the present minute is, to furnish such dirOctions as shall en-
able the proper officers to draw a bill which shall consolidate
into one act the existing acts relating to Warehousing and to
Customs duties, introducing such improvements as appear
practicable; my lords defer. for a separate Tainute a considera-
tion of the constitution of the board, and confine their present
observations thereon in this place to the pingle point, that
should any vacancies occur in the board it tho meantime, it
is the opinion of my lords that such should .fiet be filled up
until the whole subject shall have received their lordships'
consideration and decision:

BOROUGH HOP.

Mid and East Kent pockets,' 120 s. to 160 s. ; Weald of
Kent, 110 s. to 1265. ; and Sussex, 105 s. to 120 s. per cwt.
London, England, 1853-04-22

11. ACMES OF ATTENDANCE.

Upon taking a careful review of this subject, my lords are
of opinion that the existing plans, as described iu the report
of the commissioners, should not be disturbed, except, as has
long been the practice, to modify the hours of attendance for
different ports and for different portions of the service, as a
claknge of circumstances may from time to time render desir-
able, and to make provision for special cases.
My lords could not expect to establish any general increase
in the hours of attendance, without adding to the present
emoluments of the different officers so affected ; and they do
not think that the advantage gained by the public would be
commensurate with the great additional cost to the nation.
Again, in considering this case, my lords cannot leave out
of view the important facts : Ist. that from the situation of
the docks and custom-houses in London and Liverpool, the
majority of those employed in them must live at a considera-
ble distance from the spot, and therefore that the hours occu-
pied from the time they leave home till the hour they reach it,
add considerably to the nominal hours of engagement ; and,
2dly, that there is a great tendency at this time to a general
reduction in the hours of business, and that recently it has
been adopted by London banks to the extent of one hour. If,
however, it shall appear that particular services in the Cus-
toms out-door department iu Loudon and Liverpool, which,
from the locality in which they are to be performed, offer
greater facilities for officers living close to their work, or any
other special circumstances which render longer hours need-
ful, my lords reserve to 'themselves the right to sanction such
extension of hours, with or without an increase of pay, as the
case may require.

But adverting to the great pains which has been taken from
time to time to adapt the regulations with respect to the hours
of business to the special cdracter of the business and the
circumstances of the different ports, as well as to meet the
convenience of merchants iu all the ports under special cases,
my lords are pleased to direct that every care shall be taken
in this way to study the convenience and comply with the
. .

fair wishes of merchants, as altered circumstances from time
to time may render necessary; and, above all, to extend ad-
ditional facility in cases where private persons are ready to
defray the cost thereof.
