The commercial world will kern with satisfaction
that • plan has bees commenced, under the auspices
of the British Goterement, for determining the re-
lative contents of the Weights sod Measures of all
trading countries. This important object Is to be
accomplished by procuring from abroad correct co.
pies of Foreign Standards, Bad eomparlog them with
these of England at his Majesty's Mint. Such a
cosepetiseo, which could be effected eoly at a leo.
meet of univeraal peace. has never been attempted
ea a piss sufficiently steers' or systematic; *ad haws
the Niers and contradictions which abound in Tab lee
of Foreign Weights and Measures, nen in works of
the highest authority. 10 order, therefore, to re.
medy an isiconveeience so perplexing in commerce,
Viscount Cserxcestatau hu, by the recommends.
tloo of the Board of Tiede, issued a Circular, dated
March 16, ISIS, directieg ell Ike British Consuls
abroad to Nod hems copies of the principal standards
seed within their respective Consulates, verified by
the proper Authorities, sod accompanied by oz.
pleestery papers, end ether documents, relative to'
the *object. Most of his Lordship's orders have bees
already executed in a very fell and satisfactory
meaner. The dispatches sod packages transmitted
en the occasion are deposited at the Royal Mint,
where the standards are to be forthwith compered.—
The comparisons ere to be made by [touter Bina-
Lair, Fan. the King's Assay Master of the Mint, and
the calculations by Dr. Katt', of Fluttery-square,
who originally submitted the plan to Governmest ;
end who will publish the resells of these comparisons
and oslcalations, as seen as they ere completed, in
othblieceod Edition of his "Universal Gembist."
COAL TIAOI.—On Saturday lest, a highly re-
spectable Meeting of Merchants and Manufacturers
was held in the Guildhall of Newcastle, to consider
of
the most effectual means to resist the proposed
measure of taxing Coals at the pit mouth. ISAAC
Coossow, El+ having been called to the Chair, Mr.
%theca rote, and briely stated the object of the
Meeting. A eerie, of Revolutions were then errant.
meetly agreed to, in which it is stated, that the
operation of this tag would throw out of employment
many 'harmed laborious and industrious individuals,
end thereby greatly increase the Poor Rates, already
oppressive and alarming ; and, that, from the ea-
coorsgement given en the Continent of Europe and
America to almost every description of Newsletter',
the nsanolacterere here find the greatest difficulty in
competing in foreign markets; but should any duty
whatever be imposed open the principal article of
their consumption (Cosi). the prise of the mannfae-
lured goods most necessarily be so enhanced as would
serieu,ly injure, if not totally destroy, their export
trade.
