THE BONDING WAREHOUSES AT MANCHESTER.—
We have much pleasure in laying before our readers the
following statement of the amount of eustoms duties
received at the custom-house here, durinc, the quarter
ending the 10th of October last. It will be seen that
there is an increase of 2,610/. above the receipts of last
quarter, and 38,1761. above the corresponding quarter of
last year. The amount received during the quarter
ending 10th of October,_ 1846, was 56,640/. ; during the
quarter ending 10th of October, 1845, 18,4641.; increase
on the quarter, 38,1761.
Comparative statement showing the amount of cus-
toms' duties collected in Manchester during the first
three-quarters of the present year, and the correspond-
ing quarters of 1845:-

It is gratifying to observe that there is au increase of re-
ceipts during the last quarter, notwithstanding the large
amount of duty paid during the former upon wheat, flour,
&c., immediately after the passing of Sir R. Peel's corn
measure. We understand that it is accounted for by the
increased number of parties taking advantage of the
saving of charges, as well as the convenience and satis-
faction attending the bonding system, which is now
being generally adopted by the principal wholesale
&filers in tobacco, tea and coffee,iwines and spirits, &c.,
in Manchester and the neighbourhood.— Manchester

PRICE or GOLD.--The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 555 and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 70, it follows that gold
is 0.58 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9k. ;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at she' t
being 13 94, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh,
