THE REVENUE.

The Third Report of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by an Act of the Ist and 2d George IV.
C. 37, to inquire into the Collection and Ma-
nagement of the Revenue arising in Ireland, and
into certain Departments of the Revenue arising
in Great Britain, proposes the following as the
general heads of Regulation for the domestic
Trade between Great Britain and Ireland :
" That all duties upon the importation of foreign or colonial
goods from foreign countries or the Calonies into Great Britain
or Ireland, shall be made equal in both countries.

" That all such goods shall be subject to duty under the
same denomination, and the •quantities be ascertained by the
officers of the revenue upon the same principle, and according
to the same weights and measures in both countries.
" That all such goods, when exported to foreign countries
from Great Britain or Ireland, shall, in either country, be en-
titled to the -.ale drawback of duty when it has been paid, and
be subject to the same regulations and deductions when the duty
has not been paid, and the exportation is made from warehouse
under bond.

" That all such goods shall be exportable from Great Bri-
tain to Ireland, and from Ireland to Great Britain, and also
from port to port in Ireland, subject to the same rules, restric-
tions, forms, and regulations, for the security of the Revenue,
as are now applicable, or may hereafter be made applicable, to
the conveyance of goods of the like description coastwise from
port to port in Great Britain.
" That all such goods bonded and warehoused by virtue of
the Warehousing Acts shall be transferred under bond from
port to pprt in Great Britain and Ireland, in the same manner,
and under the same regulations, provisions, and restrictions, as
those under which such goods now or hereafter may be removed
under the Warehousing Acts from one port to another in Great
Britain.

" That there shall be the same privileges of bonding and
warehousing all such goods, subject to the same restrictions and
regulations, under the authority of the Lords Commissioners of
His Majesty's Treasury, in Ireland, as in Great Britain.
" That all goods, the produce or manufacture of Great Britain
or. Ireland, subject to duties of excise in one country and not in
the other, or subject to duties of excise at different rates in the
two countries, shall be exported from Great Britain to Ireland,
and be entitled to a drawback from the Excise in England of the
British duty, or of the difference between the British and the
Irish duties (as the case may be), on proof of the landing thereof
in Ireland; and that such goods shall be exportable from Ireland
to Great Britain on payment of the British duty of Excise, or
of the difference between the British and the Irish duties, on
landing in Great Britain.

" That all goods, the produce or manufacture of Great
Britain or Ireland which may be warehoused under bond for
payment of the duties of Excise, shall be exportable, under
bond, from one country to the other, and be taken out, for
consumption in either, upon payment of the duty to which
such articles shall therein be liable.

" That all such goods subject to the same duties of Excise in
the two countries shall be exportable from one to the other, with-
out further duty or drawback, subject to the same rules, regula-
tions, and provisions as are now, or may hereafter be made, appli-
cable to the conveyance of such goods from one port to another
in Great Britain.

" That coals exported from Great Britain to Ireland, or from
Ireland to Great Britain, shall be subject to the same rules, re-
gulations, and provisions, except as to the amount of duty, as
coals carried coastwise from one port to another of Great Britain.
" Under these regulations, the payment and repayment of
duties in the cross Channel trade would entirely cease.

" The drawbacks and duties which would still be unavoida-
ble on the ground of different rates of internal taxation, would
be simplified, so as to occasion a little trouble to the subject, and
as little expense to the public, in the collection of them, as such
a system will admit of. The transfer of all merchandise would
be as easy and convenient between Great Britain and Ireland,
as between London and Leith coastwise. The privileges and
advantages of the warehousing system would be the same in all
respects, subject to the same conditions in both countries.

" Of the value of these alterations to Ireland, and to the
merchants of Great Britain concerned in the trade with that
country, an estimate may be formed by a reference to the state-
ment respecting the trade which we have exhibited in a pre-
ceding part of this Report. It will there be seen how great a
proportion the cross Channel intercourse bears to the foreign
commerce of Ireland.

" Concerning the diminution of the establishments in Ire-
land, which might follow the adoption of this change of
system, we shall not be fully prepared to offer an opinion,
until we are enabled to make more minute inquiries on the
spot, with n knowledge of the degree and manner in which
our recommendations for the incorporation of the Boards, and
the modification of the Union duties, in addition to those which
are contained in this Report, are found worthy of being carried
into effect. If they should all be adopted, the department of
the Customs in Ireland will, as we have already observed, ad-
mit being very considerably reduced, without any apprehen-
sion of danger to the Revenue.
" One of the first and principal proceedings towards the esta-
blishment of a new system of intercourse, founded upon the
foregoing regulations, is equalization of the important duties
on foreign merchandise under the authority of Parliament,
as far as the circumstances of the two countries will permit.—
We shall, accordingly, cause a schedule of duties on the im-
portation of foreign goods into Ireland to be prepared. We
shall also prepare the draft of a Bill for inai)osing those duties,
and for giving effect to the several provisions inserted in our
proposed regulations, so far as the duties of Customs are con-
cerned. Those which relate to the extension of all the privi-
leges of the warehousing system to Ireland, and those also
which have reference to the duties of Excise, will require, we
apprehend, to be carried into effect by the authority of several
Acts of Parliament.

" In the formation of the schedule.of foreign import duties
for Ireland, it will be our object not only that the rates of duty
should be made as nearly as possible equal to those of Great
Britain, but also that they should be made applicable to the
same measures, and to the same modes of charging the duty;
those being at present different in the two countries, in many
instances upon the same articles.
" The effect of this equalization of the rate will be that of
making an addition of about 40,0001. a-year to the revenue of
the Customs in Ireland, according to a computation made
upon the produce of the List year. We do not, however, con-
template an additional burthen of taxation, as being likely to
arise from the measure we are proposing, when taken altoge-
ther upon Ireland. There will be a relief in the repeal of some
of the Union duties corresponding with the addition to the du-
ties on import, while the public will gain, we hope largely, by
a better collection of the existing duties, and by a reduction of
establishment."
