' COLUMBIAN LAW CONCERN:MU TONNAGE.
The Columbian too shall be twenty quisitah : foreign vessels
shall pay half a dollar, and the national, one real per ton. Na-
tional vessels of twenty tons, or under, shall pay no tonnage
duty. National vessels proceeding from one port to another of
the Republic, of more than twenty tons burthen, shall pay only
half a real for every ton above twenty. The tonnage &icy accrues
when a merchant-vessel shall have entered and finished her un-
loading, or in ten days after her entry in an authorised port,
except to cases of return and average, after her first departure.
—Passed 29th September.

LAW CONCERNING DRAWBACKS.

Wine, gin, brandy, beer, provisions, and articles of the first
necessity for subsistence, have all the duties returned. To enjoy
this privilege the importer, at the time of the entry, shall declare,
on his word of honour, at the respective Custom Houses, that
he imports those articles for exportation, in whole or in part, fut
another port of a nation friendly to Columbia. Six months see
allowed to make the expoitation. The drawback shall be givtt
on the day of departure of the exporting vessel, which must be
notified eight days previous, and 211 per cent. shall be reserved
fur the National Treasury. Goods entered for exportation cantibt
be consumed in the country without the permission of the Trea-
sury. Second-band purchasers are entitled to the drawback, and
the exportation may take place in a different vessel.

The Natches,which has arrived in the Clyde from New York,
in twenty-two days, brings letters to the sth of January, stating
that the exchange was 12 per cent. against the shippers of goods
from this country.
The Government Contract, which has been advertised two
days ago, renders the prices of hemp steady, and will probably
cause an advance in the Baltic. Of manufactured goods there
has been a large exportation to South America; but the prices
obtained for them here are extremely low, and the result to the
shippers is very doubtful, as many of the* markets must be
much overstocked.

The demand for West India or East India produce for ex-
portation is extremely limited, and a great deal of shipping is un-
employed. The trade being rather out of stork has latterly
caused a good demand fur home consumption for sugar and
coffee at improved prices. Nothing can be duller than the wine
and foreign spirit trade. A good deal of the consumption of the
latter artiste has been transferred to British spirits. All articles
of Irish produce are very dull.
A Treasury Order has been issued, permitting the use of
Wheat iu malting and distilling. Every liberal merchant must
approve of this step, as the more unrestricted all kinds of trade
can be made, the more will the country at large be benefited.
At present, however, this will not be of any advantage to the
Agriculturist, because there is a vast quantity of inferior Barley
on hand, which can-only be used in distilling, and any increased
consumption in wheat must consequently he inj•irious to the
barley grower, in as far as this Treasury Older operatt a; it will,
however, be useful in some future year.
