We are agreeably surprised by being able to announce,
that the Customs' Revenue of this port, for the quarter
lust ended, exceeds that of the corresponding quarter of
last year. The following is, in round numbers, a state-
ment of the receipts of the two years

to progress towards the first port in the empire. We
ought to remark, however, that the receipts of the month
of June are swelled this year by the duties just paid upon
foreign grain under the new law. These, we believe, have
amounted to about £120,000. There is therefore an in-
crease, independently of the receipts from this source.
We ought also to bear in mind, when contrasting the two

RUMOURED REMOVAL OF THE SCHOOL FOR

THE BLIND AND THE CHURCH

Amongst the on-dits of the day, it is stated in well-
informed quarters, with a degree of confidence amounting
almost to certainty, that the Grand Junction Railway
Company have, for the intended extension of their works
at the Lime-street Station, conferred with the trustees of

company) having purchased the land in Hardman-street,
school and church, to be devoted to the same bene-
volent object. Although the present establishment,
whict has been admirably conducted since its corn.
mencement, has long been endeared to the benevolent
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, by many as-
sociations of its utility, through the interesting operations
conducted within its walls, and the number of well-trained
pupils whom it has annually turned out capable of earning
an honourable livelihood, and who would otherwise, witfi
sightless eyeballs, have wandered the world a burthen to
their friends and others,—there can, we think, be no
question but the present site of the institution has, from the
noisy encroachments in increased railway and other traffic
in the immediate locality become much less appropriate for
the business of tuition. The anticipated change is therefore
most desirable, especially as the intended site is not only is
quieter, but a much more airypart of the town. Another
consideration of no little importance is that, as theßailway
Company will, no doubt, with their accustomed liberality
in similar cases, construct the new premises and Church
is a more spacious, commodious, and attractive
.etyle;the
institution will be benefitted by this change, which bas al.
most become imperative from the rapidly increasing com-
merce and population of the town.
