Lance, Stanfield, Landseer, Niema,nn, Morland, Col-
lins, Turner, Midler, and a fine head of Sir Thomas

FOREIGN GOODS.—NEW CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.—
The Customs authorities have directed that the officer
stationed in the Long Room at the Custom-house, for
the purpose of issuing landing orders for free goods, and
for goods intended for trans-shipment, be authorised to
issue the landing orders upon " eight entries" passed in
the Report Office. They have also directed by a subse-
quent order, that the landing orders should also be
issued by that officer for goods to be landed by virtue of
baggage sufferances, and warehousing entries. These
arrangements will be found to give great and important
facilities to trade in the landing and delivery of foreign
goods on arrival from abroad.
