COMMISSIONERS OF INQUIRY.

The following is a copy of the Circular addressed
by the Commissioners of Inquiry to the Heads of
Departments, on their arrival in Dublin:
We have been desirous of having this interview with you,
as his Majesty's Commissioners in Ireland, and in the same manner
with the !leads of the other branches of the Revenue in this coun-
try, previous to any more formal proceeding, for the purpose of
stating the general outline of the course which we propose to
i pursue, as far as we can determine it ourselves, in order that by
a knowledge of our views and intentions you may be the better
prepared to afford uI that assistance which we confidently rely
upon receiving from you.
" The Lading ajects of our appointment are,
" 1. An inquiry into the whole system established for the col-
lection of the Public Revenue in Ireland, with a view generally
to the suggestion of any improvements of which that system
may appear susceptible, and more especially to such alteration,
either of regulation or practice, as may be conducive to the in-
troduction of a greater degree of conformity than now exists,
should a complete assimilation be found unattainable, between the
Revenue bepartments of Great Britain and those of Ireland;
and, 2. A review of the duties, drawbacks, and regulations by
which the commercial intercourse between the two countries is
at present impeded or emharrassed : for the purpose of submit-
ting such measures to Parliament as may appear to us to be
practicable for the removal or modification of those remaining
distinctions, whereby the full accomplishment of the union of the
two countries has been hitherto retarded,

" In the prosecution of the inquiries necessary to accomplish
those important objects, our first proceeding will be to commu-
nicate with the several members of the several Revenue Boards,
so as to obtain the benefit of all the information which each in-
dividual connected with those Boards may be able to afford us,
with respect to the present mode of collecting the Revenue of
Ireland, and also to receive his suggestions with reference to
such changes as may be usefully introduced into the existing
system ; .and as we conceive that no persons can be better qua-
, lifted than the Commissioners and Principal Oft ersof the Board
of Castems and Excise for giving opinions, as well as informa-
tion, upon the second head of inquiryto which we have alluded.
we shall be obliged to the Gentlemen of those Departments if
they will come prepared to answer our questions, not only on
the points relating to the execution of their own functions, and
the extent and necessity of the establishment, as well in Dublin
as in other parts of this country, but also respecting the present
system of countervailing and protecting duties and drawbacks,
and the expedience of simplifying the intercourse between Great
Britain and Ireland, under regulations more consonant with the
true spirit of the Act of Union, having due regard to the para-
mount necessity of offering the most effective security to the col-
lection of the Public Revenue in both countries.
" Having explained thus far what the motive and object of
our first communication with the members of the Revenue
Board are likely to be, we have only to add, that we are all
of us prepared to expect from them a cordial co-operation
with us in the furtherance of the objects of our Commission,
which, as you will perceive, are prospective, and do pot ne-
cessarily' lead to investigation of the past conduct of any in-
dividual in any class of the Revenue Department, although
particular cases may occur which may render such investigation
unavoidable. We have, therefore, made this communication to
you, with the assurance of deriving from you, and the Chief and
principal Officers of the several branches of the revenue of Ireland
the full advantage of knowledge and experience, not only in the
shape of information to be given us in answer to out direct inqui-
ries, but in the communication of opinions and suggestions upon
all such matters connected with the revenue under their manage
meat, as my appear to them to require alteration, or which may
in their judgment, be susceptible of improvement."
