The following new forms of bond used in pursuance of
the minutes of the Customs' Board, dated July and No •
vember last, in regard to ships' stores removed coastwise

her heirs and successors, t ) which payment, well and

himself, for and in the whole our heirs, exccutov, and
administrators, and every of them, firmly by these
presents sealed with our seals, dated this

day of , in the year of the reign
of her said Majesty, and in the year of our
Lord 184 . Whereas, the Commissioners of her Majesty's
Customs' have by their order, dated the 25th November,
1845, directed that surplus stores left on board any im-
porting ship or vessel about to proceed coastwise only,
be placed under seal of office ; and, in addition thereto,
that in ail cases where the quantity of high duty goods
left on board such ship or vessel may to the proper
officers appear to be excessive, a special bond for the
same be required ; and whereas, the ship (name) hath on
board the following excessive surplus stores, viz.,—(the
quantity and description of the goods are to be inserted),
—now, the condition of this obligation is such, that if
the said goods and every part thereof shall be de.
livered without alteration or diminution into the
custody. or possession of the proper officers of the
Customs at the port cf (name), and if the duty
or any deficiency of such stores shall be pvid
within the space (number) days next following from
the date hereof, to the collector and controller of such
port, then this obligation to be void, or else to he and
remain in full force and virtue. Sealed and delivered
(being fir: t legally stamped)." Sze. This iA the bond
for surp!us stores coastwise The following is the form
of bond for the removal of illegal packages, &c., as
skips' stores only.—" Know all men by these presents
that we," &c. (as cited in the preceding form)—" Where-
as the above bounden (name of the person) is the pro-
prietor of the following goods, wares, and merchan-
dise, viz. (here the quantity and description of the dif-
ferent articles are to be inserted), and which said goods,
wares, and merchandise are now lodged and deposited in a
warehouse or warehouses at (name of place) in the port of
(name), under the regulation of an Act passed in the Bth
and 9th years of the reign of Queen Victoria, entitled
An Ant for the Warehousing of Goods ;' and whereas
the said (person's name) intends to remove and convey
the said goods, wares, and merchandise from the said
port of (name) to the port of (name), to be there
re-warehoused, subject to the rules, regulations,
and restrictions in that behalf by law provided,—
now the condition of this obligation is such, that
if the said goods, wares, and merchandise, and every
part thereof, shall be duly delivered, without alteration
or diminution, into the custody and possession of
the proper officer of customs at the said last-mentioned
port, and if the said goods, wares, and merchandise, and
every part thereof, shall be duly warehoused at the port
of (named) within the space of (mentioning the time)
next following the date thereof ; and if the same be
duly delivered for use as ships' stores within two years.
then this obligation to be void, or else to be and remain
in full force, effect, and vigour. Sealed and delivered
(being first duly stamped) in the presence of," &c.
The first order in July. on the subject alluded to, sets forth
that adiversity in practice having prevailed with respect
to the regulations under which packages of goods which
were intended for shipment as stores should be removed
from one port to another, that in future all legal sized
packages of warehoused gods forwarded from one
warehousing port to another, whether for the purpose of
being used as stores or otherwise, should be for-
warded under the warehousing regulations ; and
that all packages of less than the legal sir., and
all packages removed as stores from a warehousing port
to a port not a warehousing port, should be removed
under a special bond ; and the second, in Novem-
ber, that the authorities had adverted to the cases
in which surplus stores are left on board vessels which
have arrived from foreign voyages at a port of the
united kingdom, and are about to proceed with or
without cargo coastwise preparatory to making another
foreign voyage, and being of opinion that some further
regulations sere necessary in order to assimilate the
practice and to provide fur the due account, and delivery
of such stores, and directed that in future surplus stores
left on board any importing vessel about to proceed coast-
wise only be placed under seal of office, and a particular
account thereof transmitted by letter of advice from the
proper officers to the collector and controller of the
revenue at the port of destination ; and in addition
thereto, that in all cases where the quantity of high
duty goods left on board such vessels should appear to
the proper officers to be excessive, that a special bond
for the same should be required. These two new
forms of bond have been instituted to carry these orders
into effect, and are of considerable importance to the
shipping and mercantile interest and all other persons
concerned.

MR. 'WALLACE, OF KELLY.--.The TOVVD. Council of
Glasgow have unanimously voted the freedom of that city to
Mr. Wallace, of Kelly, late M.P. for Greenock .
EXTRAORDINARY MIGRATION OF ALDER3IEN.—For
some days past considerable excitement has existed in the
neighbourhood of the Stock and Royal Exchanges, by a re-
port that several aldermen engaged in railway speculations
have been served with writs for their liabilities. One alder-
man, it is said, has received 175 of the epistles of " John
Doe and Richard Roe"—another has had 65, and a third 33.
The rumour goes, that several civic worthies have winged
their way to mere warm and more sunny climes, and that
there are others ready for an early flight. More, however,
will be known, wh n the judges at the Central Criminal
Court require the attendance of the City authorities.—John

Tonacco.—On a remt application of an eminent
firm, importers of tobacco, to the Lords of the Treasury,
praying that all leaf tobacco may be allowed to be imported
from the United States of America into this country in pack-
ages of the same weight in which the same description of
tobacco could be legally imported from the place of its
growth, ti- eir Lordships were pleased to authorise the reve-
nue authorities to give directions for a compliance with the
request, directing at the same time that the requisite altera-
tion may be made in the next Custom's Amendment Act,
for allowing tobacco, the produce of Mexico, South America
or the islands of St. Domingo or Cuba, to be imported into
the United Kingdom in bales containing 80 pounds weight
each, from any place from which it may be legally imported
' for home use, and further authorising them to give direc-
tions for the admission of tobacco in packages of the size
proposed, pending the required alteration of the law.
Their Lordships also further gave permission, on a
sudsequent memorial from another party, fir to-
bacco, the produce of the island of Trinidad, to be allowed to
be imported into this country in packages of the same size
as those sanctioned for tobacco the produce of South
America and St. Domingo above alluded to. Their Lord-
ships having since had under their consideration a commu-
nication from the Board of Trade respecting a memorial
from an eminent merchant at the port of Liverpool, request-
ing that tobleco may be allowed to be imported from all or
any of her Majesty's possessions in packages of the weight
of eighty pounds only, the Revenue Commis: ioners have re-
ceived a further communication from Mr. Cardwell, one of the
Secretaries to the Lords of the Treasury, stating that he has
been commanded by their Lordships to convey to them their
authority for allowing Hungarian or such other tobacco as
can be legally imported from Malta, to be admitted into this
country in packages of the limited size and weight men-
tioned.

During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Oats,
Peas, and Flour, were on a very limited scale ; but those of

grain the samples were unusually Beauty ; but those offoreign 'an"do,
wzre full average ones for the time of year. Fresh up, a fair Qu Nis
of Wheat came to hand, coastwise from Kent, but the sapplies
