be hoped that it list bad the sheet of freeing the

by a number of our merchants, who are preparing
to send cargoes of coin it' England. Yesterday
there was a "Meet lug of the Bo i gliers at the Town
House, to take inter ennsiderat ion several questions
relating to our internal atitO3. It was resolved,
that the duties of eloins MI built exports and
imports should retni oti the present footing
for one year longer, and, at the :expiration of
that term, that a new and more moderate tarid
Should be introduced. The oxplott duties,
particitlar, will, It is expected, be considerably
reduced, if not entirely abolished. 'Elie enormints
charges of the brokers, of late years, constituted
another subject of discussion. The importers of
tobacco complained that the brokers bad exacted
6 per cent.- commission, whilst they ennui not
charge the consigners of the commodity inure than.
2 per cent. With the exception of a very few
articles, it. Was resolved that tine .brokers' coin.

cent. This determination has, of course, oeca-
