ABUSES AT THE CUSTOM-nousE.---On giving an a e.r.,
count on Saturday of the annoyance and insults to whichii
passengers are subjected before they can obtain their
luggage, we stated that regulations had been issued by
the Board of Customs for increased facility and ppaten
in the passing of passengers' luggage, and that the
announcement of the Board was either a direct false-
hood, or their orders had been wantonly and shamefully
disobeyed. Since then we have referred to the Par" ..
liam-entary paper which contained the regulations, and -
hefe publish it for the benefit of the public. IP
was moved for by Mr. Hardy, the Member for Bradford,
and to all appearance was as satisfactory as the Honour-
able Gentleman could desire. He will, therefore, not be
a little surprised to find, when he has the mialortune to
pass through the Custom-house ordeal, that not •QPIY is z.
the ordinance of the Commissioners a dead letter, buy
that the annoyance at present is greater than at anf
former period. A._cording to another return made, the
Commissioners informed the House of Commons that no
charge was made for passengers' luggage, while every
packet is charged Gd. ; and on Saturday, :rum the pas-
sengers by one steamer alone, probably not less
than 10!. was levied in this way. This also is
in contravention of one of the regulations by which the
Boardthat when a package containing passer,
ger; luggage has no article liable to duty, the same shall
be immediately delivered without any charge for wive"
house rent, Provided the package has not been more
than a week in the King's warehouse." It is of 110 use
to quiV,le about the words " King's warehouse," 116
some apologist for the CommiSsioners did when the sub- •T,
ject came before Parliament, for there is ten times more
s ace on the Custom-house wharf for landing the lug'
gage, than at the miserable offices at London-bridge:
the hiring of which appears very like a job to take 'none)
from the public, and put it into the pockets of the wham-
owners, and perhaps some other pockets also. The sub- 2.
joined is a copy of the Regulations moved for by 1%11.•

A Copy of the Regulations under which- the Luggage of Pas-
sengers by Packets and Steam Vessels are Examined at the
Customhouse in London, since the Return prepared by the
Board of Customs in 1840 :
The landing surveyors are to take care, upon the future ar-
rival of steam-vessels with passengers, that a second landing
waiter be appointed to assist in the examination of the lugege:,
whose duty is strictly to be confined to the examination m
such of the passengers' baggage as shall not exceed one peek:
age.; by which arrangement the Beard anticipate that ineeu
increased facility and dispatch will be afforded, and future con'
plaints of delay in the passing of.passengers' baggage avoided.

the expiration of three months ; and one of the survermy
general a Al make arrangements for carrying this measure 0°

Custom-house, London, Feb. 26, 1842.
Vs bite oil thi, disagreeable subject we may also advO4
to the demeanour of the Custom-house officers towards
passengers generally. Three of these gentlemen are
put on board a foreign steamer en reaching Gravesend,
whose sole duty, we apprehend, is to take care that 1:1°
contraband articles shall pass from the vessel tilior she
readies her destination. They do a great deal me,
however ; they mix with ladies and gentlemen -tin the
deck, enter the cabins, and rudely survey every females
however respectable, as if she were a convicted smuggler'
Such conduct on shore would not be . tolerated for
an instant, but passengers are obliged to submit to it fron
the fear of annoyance and insults which these functionaries
can so easily inflict. As travelling by steam-boats is be'
come so common, and not one passenger in fifty cottony'
plates any injury to the revenue by smuggling, the Ge.,
vernment would confer a great benefit on the Community
by a thorough reform- of this useless and obnoxiouss
system. Is it not enough to overhaul every article in t
traveller's portmanteau, without the additional insult
treating him like a suspected thief ?
THE NEW TARIFF.—We have just received a little
useful work with this title, which contains tables of tbe,
new duties of Customs, with the old duties, and the IT.
amount received on each article in 1841, together with
the new corn duties, compiled from official documents'
It will be found a very convenient bock of referenet
We have noticed only one error, and point it out for tb,
instruction of the Court of Aldermen. Turbots are Pl`
