THE BELFAST TEA FRAUDS.

Accents from Belfasi,, dated yesterday evening,
supply the following proceedings in connexion with
the recent frauds on the Customs. The two pri-
soners, Messrs. Henley and Harbison, have, it will
be seen, b3en committed .for trial, Henley, how-
ever, being admitted to bail, but Harbison still
remaining in custody :
" Few matters connected with the commerce of
this town have excited more widespread interest
than the recent tea frauds of John James Moore.
Coming as it does close on the heels of the commis-
sion of inquiry into the Belfast street riots of July
and September, which have done so much to lower
the reprration of the town, it is felt as doubly to
be regretted. The: eis nothing that the merchants
and manufacturers of the town are so sensitive on as
their commercial probity, and anything that even
slightly trenches upon their high character for rec-
titude in their dealings gives them especial pain ;
but it should be remembered that Moore, the prin-
cipal delinquent in these tea frauds, was only for
three or four years connected with Belfast. He
travelled some years ago for some of the most emi-
nent homes in the tea trade in Livereool, London,
and Glasgow, and, attracted by the prosperity of
Belfast, he settled down here, became a junior
partner in the home of M'Donnell and Co., and,
on the retiring of the senior member of the to ,
::bout 18 mouths ago, he was left in role possession
of the business. No iri ervulatity was suzpected to
have taken place in the bonded story iu connexion
with his premises till the Ist October, when a search
was instituted, and it was then discovered that no
fewer than 786 chests were what are technically
called dummies ; that is, the chests containing
the teas had been taken away and others had beau
substituted, the contents of which were brickbat,
turf, straws and sawdust, while the exterior cover-
ings were brandel with the Custom-horse marks,
and made in every reipect similar to the real chests.
The duty on the missing chests i5.,4,4001. Moore
disappeared from town on the evening of the
rearcb, and, notwithstanding the exertions of the
police, he has not since beau heard of. Two other
persons were arrested, one a _young man named,
Henley, who filled a situation as clerk in a respect-
able manufacturing firm in town, and the other a
man named Harbison, who was employed till
within three months ago by Moore. The charge
against both these is for aiding and assisting in
illegally removing goods from a bonded warehouse
to evade the Customs' duties, contrary to the pro-
visions of the CustDtns Comoli(lation Act of 1853.'
There have been several priVate investigations, and
to-day the first public exaneine.ton was hold in the
Town-hall. A very large number of the merchants
and business people of tho town attended in the
Counci-chambor to hear the proceedings."
There were but two witnesses examined—Mr.
W. W. Godfrey, landing surveyor of the port, and
John Robb, a porter in the employment of Moore
—but their evidence elicited no now facts.

and two sureties of 250/.
The prisoners were then committed for trial at
ethacehspprrizgona:izines,sool.d, a rule of bail was fixed of
each.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCLIEBTER Oct 16.—The de-
pression in this market which was so perceptible at the
commencement of the week continues to prevail, and
babies,' may at present be said to be altogether at a
etandetill. Prices are maintained with firmness, as
there is no pressure for tales sufficient to produce any
abatement, but actual operations are for the moment
suspended in all departments under the present aspect of
commercial affairs. Printing cloths and shirtings have
