We have before us the alterations Mr.
PwLETT THOMSON proposes to make in the
schedule of the Duties of Customs Bill. None
pf them are of very great importance ; but there
are
few
which will net interest some one or
other of our commercial readers. We regret,
therefore that the pressure of Parliamentary and
of hmatter prevents us inserting the alterations
41
the schedule at length. We shall, however,
rioti„
'e tnose articles upon which the reduction or
ginentation of duty has been any thing very
fottt-, •
nal• The duty on common canes of dif-
tep.descriptions is to be reduced from 11. odd
thousan ; thn wees, tums,
arid
d
41. Other valuable specieat s,o is tohan beg if
oo
reduced rom
Per thousand also to ss. The duty on chi-
:-irY) now 20 per cent., is to be 6d. per lb., being
large increase. This duty is to be imposed
tir, upon any other vegetable matter applicable
- the uses of chicory or coffee, roasted or
kgrthind ; so that it would seem the increchias has
ueen occasioned by the extent to which e cory
115 s displaced coffee. Foreign ebony is to pay
4tl future 5/. instead of 101. per ton ; but the
Produce of the British possessions is only to
Pay 3s. Such extracts as are now liable to ad
balorenz duties are in future, at the option of
the importer, to be charged 10s. the lb. The
duty on glue chipping.s, or waste of any kind fit
I:, for making glue,is to be reduced from 201.
'Ol4 The next item calls for some remark. The
aet°n grapes is to be reduced from 201. per
f„,t°s/. per cent. Grapes are at present imported
;7
foreign countries only, but there was a rumour
Co r
very long ago of importing them from the
el' of Good Hope, and certainly we do not
nl-rie 'lye the thing to be impossible. Improved
dit7" of packing, with the certainty and rap:-
141 of steam conveyance, may bring even the
W9St delicate tropical fruits fresh to our shores.
~e eseo the preserved gingers of our own pos-
thsi°ns have a smaller duty imposed on them
nn'e those from the possessions of foreign
'lers, and we do not see why the same prin-
tePle should not be extended to grapes. We
tiehY,remark gerally of other parts of the
teretde of the Bill, that although the in-
th:Bts of the colonies have not been upon
neglected, there are cases in which
they nave not been sufficiently considered. In
fro eases of articles at present obtained solely
gett4t. foreign countries, it should never be for-
ten that they may, perhaps, be obtained from
of our offshoots. Those who know the
to theuitY the colonies have in making remittances
dee, e mother country, will agree with us thatit is
"posahle to keep as wide open as possible every
aretule channel of trade. All vinegar pickles
41 1„ ° be admitted in future at ls. 6d. per
bei4-4, including the vinegar, the present duty
Platig for the most part 6s. The duty on
to 11, and platina ore, are both to be reduced
fit omPer cent. The duty on woollen rags,
insteel for manure, is to be ls. per ton
el of 7s a boon to the agricultural
Will a_ses, .
b of which we know many farmers
presente glad to take advantage. The table next
seve,, us with an alteration of the duties on
the .4' Kinds of skins. The present duties upon
the common run of skins average about 6d.;
3,13' are to be reduced to an average of 2d. or
e 'l' The skins of the aristocracy of the wilds have
,Perienced a still greater reduction. For instance,
tile duties on leopard, panther, tiger, and sable
are severally to be reduced from 9s. 6d.
• 4hd Bs. 4d. each, to 2s. 6d. The monarch of
all has been reduced so low that we apprehend
the: Ministers of Russia and Austria will be
und to interfere. The duty at present on lion's
kin
is 65., and is to be lowered to is. Stick up
itir. degraded royalty, worthy METTERNICH,
h:vl.4 upon the monarch of the forest at least
charl'lg the respect paid him of having his skin
enmged with a duty of hatfa crown. We next
has e to stones, and find that Mr. P. THOMSON
2s. eactually ventured to reduce the duties of
lot d• Per ton on flint, felspar, and other stone,
18stters ; 20 per cent. on limestone, and
'at Per ton on pebble stones, to nothing.
