BONDED GOODS.

A case having recently occurred in which a tidewaiter
belonging to the Customs department, who accompanied
a quantity of brandy, removed at the request of a
lighterman from one of the dock establishments, for
the purpose of being shipped for exportation on board
a vessel lying in another of the docks, was compelled
to remain in charge of the lighter for several days,
at an unnecessary expense to the Crown, in con•
sequence of the vessel not being ready to receive
the goods on board, and the solicitor of the de-
partment having laid before the board, in pursuance of
their order, the following form of public notice, viz.:—
•' Custom-house, London— The Commissioners of her
Majesty's Customs hereby give notice, that all tobacco,
cigars, snuff, spirits, tea, and such other warehoused goods
as are liable to high duties, when waterborne to be shipped
1,,r exportation, must be accompanied by an officer, and
such officer shall remain in charge of the same until duly
received on board of the exporting vessel, unless the goods
are in decked craft, with the bulkheads secured and the
batches properly fastened under the Queen's Locks, and
the keys thereof deposited with the searchers at the sta-
tion where the exporting vessel and craft are lying, if
in the St. Katherine's Docks, London Docks, East
or West India Docks, when in such cases the officers
may be withdrawn. That when removed to either
of the aforenamed docks in other than decked
craft duly secured as aforesaid, and in all cases,
whether in decked craft or otherwise, when the ex-
porting vessel is not lying in one of the said docks, such
goods will be required to be shipped within three
• days from the time of the appointment of the officer
who shall accompany the same, unless the owners
thereof, or the lighterman, deposit with the in-
spectors of the river a sufficient sum to defray the ex-
pense of officers accompanying such goods for any longer
period, and such goods will be required in all cases to be
shipped on board of the vessel for which they may have
been entered, or on
board of some other vessel for
which they shall have beenduly transferred within six
days from the time the same have been waterborne.
hi
That unless these conditions and regulations are com-
plied with, all such goods not ao
time specified, or duly relanded unLrpged within the
searchers, and returned into the custody of thethe
proper officers in the warehousing department, will be
seized as forfeited. By order of the Commissioners,
(signed) C. A. Scovell, Secretary"—the same has been
approved by the Board, and copies of the same have
been printed and furnished to the principal officers
of the revenue at the dock establishments men-
tioned, and other stations and places of mer-
cantile
resort on the banks of the river, with
directions to cause the same to be posted in
conspicuous places for the information of the shipping
trade and mercantile community generally throughout the
port. It will be obServed that this notice is of great im-
portance to merchants and all parties concerned, as the
neglecting to comply strictly with the orders contained
therein with respect. to the due and speedy shipment of
goods removed from bond for exportation, will involve
their forfeiture to the Crown, and cause much inconveni-
ence and annoyance.

Mr. Napier of Glasgow, is at present building a
steamer, of 800 tons and 420 horse-power, to ply between
this port and Dundalk. She is to be called "The Pride of
Erin." Her power is greater than that of any other steamer
engaged in the Channel trade.—. Liverpool Courier.
