EAST INDIA AND CHINA TRADE,

The following official communication was received yester-
day at the East India House, relative -to the subject of con-
tinuing the East India Company's warehouses as bonded
warehouses, after they have passed out of the Company's
hands. The communication has given much satisfaction to
the merchants and others engaged in the trade to India and
China, who have urged the necessity of having uptown ware-
houses for bonding the produce of India and China as of the
utmost importance to the trade of the port of London. It
will be seen that the Lords of the Treasury have acceded to
the wishes of the commercial interests :

" Treasury Chambers, March, 1835.
" Gentlemen—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's
Treasury having had under their consideration the various papers
on the question of approving the warehouses of the East India
Company for the purposes of the warehousing system, after they
shall have passed into other hands, and bearing in mind the fact
that circumstances may arise under which the withdrawal of the
licenses from all warehouses of the East India Company may have
an effect injurious to the trade of London, and feeling it their duty,
for the benefit of the public, to take all the steps in their power to
provide for such a contingency, I am commanded to acquaint you
that my Lords, under all the circumstances of theease, consider it
proper to give their sanction to the continuance of the privilege of
ordinary security to some of the warehouses of the East India Com-
pany, after they shall have passed into other hands. My Lords
have, therefore, notified to the Commissioners for the Affairs of
India that when the particular stacks of warehouses, situate in Cut-
ler-street, Billiter-street, Fenchurch-street, and Crutched Friars,
and designated, in a plan furnished by the Commissioners of Cus-
toms, by the numbers 2,4, 5, and 8, shall have become the pro-
perty of persons whom my Lords can approve as warehouse-keep-
ers under the revenue laws, they will consent to their being licensed
as warehouses of ordinary security for warehousing goods imported
from places within the limits of the East India Company's charter.
.‘ I am, &c.
(Signed) " T. F. FREEMANTLE.

,6 To the Cliairinari and Deputy Chairman of the East India
Company."
The communication was read to the Tea Trade yesterday,
previously to the commencement of the sales of private trade
teas, which were announced to succeed the East India Com-
pany's sale. In order to avail themselves of the intentions of
Government to continue the warehouses as bonded ware-
houses, a meeting of the merchants interested was held yester-
day to adopt preliminary measures for the possession of the
buildings after they shall have passed out of the hands of the
Eastllndia Company.

Our (Boston) navy yard at Charlestown presents at
this moment rather a busy scene. A number of the large
sized guns, and a great quantity of ammunition has been re.
ceived at the yard, and we understand more is on its way.
Orders have been received to have the Constitution and the
Boston ready for sea as quick as possible. The former is
nearly ready, and the latter is now in the dry dock. She is
newly coppered, and ready to come out. ' The Independence
is laid up, but as soon as the Boston is out of the dock, she is
to go in. All hands in the yard appear lively, and we should
think a war with any country would be a very agreeable
amusement.—American Paper.

GAIETIES OF PARIS.—At a ball given by the
French King at the Tuileries during the Carnival, there were
5,000 persons present. The President of the Chamber of
Deputies, a few nights afterwards, opened his rooms, which
were attended by 1,500 guests. On Monday night last, there
were given no less than 45 masked balls in Paris, and that at
the operaalone there were counted 3,000 persons. At this
ball a curious etiquette prevails, that none but black dominos
are admitted, and it is therefore thought grave and genteel.
Some of the concerts have cost five thousand francs-2001.
As the number of guests, our gay parties, even at the height
of the season, must hide their diminished heads.
