BONDED GRAIN.-;..A. Meeting was held on Thurs-
day last, of the Merchants of Liverpool, interested
in the Bonded Grain, for the purpose of considering
what steps sli,iuld be taken to secure to themselves
the provisions of the existing Corn Law, in the event
of the passing of any new Act, which shall havefor
its basis a system of protecting duties. Mr. BOOTH
was called to the chair, and after some dismission as
to the most eligible mode of procedure, Mr. HODC;
SON and Mr. SANDERS were deputed to proceed to
London forthwith,, to adopt such measures as may
appear expedient. It is not the object of the Depu-
tation to support or recommend any paricular sr-
tern of Corn Laws ; but as it is confidently reported
that a new Act is shortly to beroposed to Parlia-
ment, the provisions of which lie directly opposed
to those of any former Act, and which could not fail
most materially to prejudice the interest of the
holders of Bonded Grainwithout benefiting the
Public, the Merchants owe it to themselves to make
a proper and timely representation of the grievances
to which such an Act would subject them.—Liver-
pool Paper.
