THE CUSTOM HOUSE, sc.

The failure Of house transacling, we believe
the largest East India business in the United States
has engaged much conversation and speculation in
this city. BY common consent, the subject seems
10 have been excluded from the press, although in
many OF its relations and bearings, it could not but
engage public attention and affect the public interest
We induced 10 touch upon this delicate topic in
consequence of TWO communications, both signed a
Merchant which treat OF it with knowledee and
liberaly of views, which almost on any other sub
iect would command the columns Of our paper We
not aware that any good can be effected on this
head by discussions in our public journals which
cannot, as certainly and efectualy, be accomplish
ed through other channels.
We are aware that " an inquiry will be instituted
before Congress" The public is too large credi
tor not to require strict investigation, not merely
into the conduct of the individual most concerned,
but into that of the Public officers with whom he
has been most actively and intimately engaged in
the transaction of his business. We cannot but
hope that this event will lead TO thorough inquiry
into the manner in which business is done at our
Custom Houses.-Such an inquiry, prosecuted as
inquiries usually are, before the British Parliament
could not but result in much benefit TO the commu-
nifty. We know no class of men who would be so
interested in forwarding such an inquiry as honest
and we'll mentioned Merchants.
Let an intelligent and industrious committee, be
appointed, with power to SEND Tor Persons and "a
pers, ard we do not fear, but they will report such
mass of facts as would enable Congress to egisate
with more knowledge than they have heretofore
done as to the best, and least oppressive, mode OF
levying and collecting the Customs. Another con.
sequence OF such an Inquiry as We suggest, would
probably be that Congress would feel that the in
lerests Of the Treasury we'll Of Individuals and
the Union, would be greatly promoted by the pas
sage of "uniform Law on the subject of Bank
ruptcies throughout the United States"

Gone of the greatest inconvenience in ira
Yelling on the canal, is the frequency and lows
mes OF the bridges. Under most of them, the
boat has but just room to rub. Ifpassengers
are standing upon the deck, with their back
to the bridge, they are liable to be swept of,
or crushed to pieces. Several accidents of this
kind have already happened, and would occur
daily, had not the danger rendered it part of
the helmsman's duty to give notice, when the
boat IS aapproachinga bridge. Those who are
expert leap over the barrier, jumping upon
one side and off at the other, while others hur-
~ below, sometimes with all possible des-
patch, and even then not without losing hat
Measures are taking to correct this inconveni-
ence, by elevating the bridges several feet a.
bove the highest decks.

Bv the Providence we have received a file
ofthe Mexican "Sol," extending to the 30th
of April.
The General Congress was busily engaged
in organizing the government. From the re-
ports in the papers, it would appear that its
proceedings are conducted with wisdom and
moderation
y The treaty with Great Britain had not been
made public; and it had become unpopular
with the people, as they conceived it to con-
tain some very obnoxious provisions, such,
for example, as exacting from the Mexican
government the free liberation OF religion,
the cession of the CALIFORNIA;, &c. The edi-
tor of the Sol takes up two columns of his pa
per in correcting these erroneous notions.
On Sunday, the 18th of April, the princi-
pal officers of government assembled in the
hall of the University, where they listened to
several long orations in praise of music, de-
hvered on the occasion of the opening OF the
Philharmonic Academy. On the Thursday
following, a solemn mass and Tie Deum was
performed in st. Francis Church, ''in graft
tude for the opening of the Academy, and
for the rapid progress of so useful an estab'
lishment, and also in honor of its glorious pa
iron st. Cecilia"
The Federal Congress of GUATEMALA was
