THE SUN, LONDON, SA.TURDA.Y EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1842.

Directors of the Dock Companies state that they have
no power to alter, but with the, sanction of the im-
porters, which, as entailing expense, is generally
withheld. •

"Also that the fact of the trade being called on to
pay duty on what does not exist is unjust and unrea-
sonable, and the Committee feel assured that on a pro-
per representation being made to the Government,
this grievance will speedily be remedied, Coffee being
one of the articles named in the Customs Act as subject
to some deficiency from natural causes, and being kept
in the custody of their officers in warehouses of spe-
cial security.
" The Committee, therefore, suggest that a meet-
ing of the trade be held, to take into consideration the
necessity of memoralising the Government on the
present mode of paying duty on coffee, and to devise
any other means which may be considered likely to
prevent loss to the parties on whose account clearances
arc made ; for which purpose the Committee propose
that a general meeting of the trade be held at the
Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane, on Friday
next, the 25th instimt, at twelve for one o'clock pre-
cisely. " EDWARD EDWARDS, Chairman.
" JAMES C. QUICK, llon. Sec.
" 21st Nov. 1842."

Mr. MOFFAT rose to move a resolution that the
Report be adopted. He expected no redress from the
Dock Companies, and thought that Government ought
to be applied to, in order that the trade should not be
charged on the-landing weights. Recently, in a par-
cel of five bales of Mocha coffee, there was a loss of
53 lbs. One bale was deficient, in another purchase
he had made, of 27 Ib3. _ _

Mr. CUENERY and other parties spoke of great defi-
ciencies, that could not arise from natural causes.

The Report was adopted.
Mr. CONDOR had been thirty years in the trade, and
in the last two or three years the decrease in the
weight of bales of coffee had augmented. lle moved
a resolution in favour of applying to. the First Lord of
the Treasury against the levying of the duty 'on coffee
at the landing weight.
The resolution was carried, and the Committee was
strengthened by several parties of influence in the
trade, to give weight to the representation to the
Government.

The thanks of the meeting were given to the Com-
mittee, and the meeting adjourned.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The Chamber of Represen-
tatives is to meet to-day. A petition to the Chamber
of Representatives is in circulation at Namur, request-
ing it to reject the projects of law presented by the
Minister of Finance, respecting the increase of the
land-tax, and tax on furniture.

.
A journal of Antwerp announces that M. Cau-
martin arrived at that city at seven o'clock on Sunday
morning, where he inquired whether he was far from
Aix-la-Chapelle, which shows that he did not know
which way he had taken. Being informed of his mis-
take, he took post-horses for Breda at half past seven
o'clock. The Precurseur says—" We have this
moment learnt that M. Caumartin has embarked at
Rotterdam for Hamburgh.
OFFEN, Nov. 13.—lhe journal of this town brings
very unexpected news from Belgrade, which, if it
should be confirmed, will again place Servia almost
entirely under the Turkish authority, and annihilate
everything that the Servians have gained during the
last fifty years. That journal says, " Our most
recent letters from the 'Turkish frontiers of the 7th
November, say the firman, not the beret, as was ex-
pected confirming the newly elected Prince Alexander
Georgewitch Czerny, has been read in the absence
of the nobles of Servia to the assembly of the people
by Kiamel Pacha, amid a salute of Turkish cannon.
Great surprise was manifested when it appeared
from the finnan that Alexander Cerny was not de-
signated as Prince but only as Basch Bey of ,Servia;
besides this the newly appointed Beys, Alexander
Sunitsch, Wutsitsch Pensitsch, and Abraham
Petroniewitsch, were associated with him according
to the contents of the Scherif; the Pacha of Belgrade
is to be present at all the meetings and sittings of
the Senate as President. Servia is bound to pay to
the Porte a yearly tribute of half a million of
piastres more than hitherto. Servia is likewise to
give up to the Porte all the Custom-houses, as well as
the six districts of Servia which, before the making
of the Constitution, under the happy reign of Milosch,
were incorporated with Servia. Lastly, all the cannons
hitherto possessed by the Servians, must be given up
to the Turks. Immediately after the arrival of Emir
Effendi at Belgrade, application was made to the Im-
perial Governor of this City to deliver up all the
Turkish orders of Knighthood which were worn by
Prince Michael of Servia, and which are said to be
deposited with the Imperial Military Governors of
Semlin. His application was not complied with. The
insignia which were given to Prince Michael for him-
self have been retained by him."
TURKISII FRONTIERS, Nov. 9. Accounts from
Bucharest say that the Sultan's finnan, ordering
the deposition of the Hospodar Prince Ghika, was
published there on the Ist of this month. The ap-
proaching election of the new Prince is anxiously ex-
pected. The chances appear to be more and more in
filvour of Philip Besco. The Boyars, who are absent
in the country, are beginning to return, in order to
take part in the election.—.A/igemeine Zeitung, N0v.19.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 21.—The second Chamber of
the States-General is to meet on Wednesday for the
dispatch of business, and will begin with the appoint-
ment of the new clerk. We understand that his
Majesty will to-morrow review all the troops now in
garrison in this town.
OSNABURG,_ Nov. 16.—1 n the night of the 13th of
this month a fire broke out in the village of Borden
which destroyed 80 buildings, among which are the
church, the school, the town-house, and the parsonage.
