The duties on linseed, flax seed, and mustard seed, &c., will
be reduced considerably more than was proposed in the original
schedule of the tariff.

In the duties on the metals no very important departure
from the former plan is now suggested, except in the case of
that on rolled spelter, which will be reduced. not to' 1/. per
ten, but to 41:per ton. Some alteration is also-proposed in
the adjustment of the duty of five per cent. ad valorem on
copper ores. Copper ores containing not more than fourteen
parts of copper will pay 2/. 10s. per 1001. value of metal, and
ores containing more than fourteen parts of copper will pay 51.
The duty on tin ore remains, as proposed, at 11. per ton ; regulus
of tin at 2/. ; and tin in blocks, ingots, &c. 61. the ton.

With regard to the mode of adjusting the timber duties, it
has been found that the original plan for sweeping away all the
clumsy and complicated distinctions of sizes and lengths, by
reducing all the imports of foreign timber to one head in the
tariff, would have been unfair in its operation on unhewn wood;
by the final arrangement it is proposed to make an alteration in
the duties on certain kinds of hewn wood, for the purpose of
carrying into effect with greater accuracy the principle of the
reduction on this article.

The change in the timber duties wiil come into operation on
the 10th of October, 1842. These are the principal altera-
tions, and on comparing the amended with the original tariff, it
will be found that the difference is not material.

* In the List where the word " British" does not appear, the
duty is the same as for the productions of foreign countries.
t N.B. It is intended to propose the repeal of the 4'2d clause of
the 3d and 4th Will IV., cap. 57, as far as the Customs are thereby
empowered to requ►re from shippers bond to land provisions at the
port of the ship's destination, and likewise the repeal of the 43d
clause of the same Act.
