chants under the impression that they will
experience much difficulty and trouble in their
business, in consequence Of Jersey City being the
terminus of the new line of Cunard steamships,
that city not being port of entry. They suppose
that cearances and entries must be made at New
ark, the entry port of that district. We presume
that all difficulty can be obviated by making the
former a port Of entry, which no doubt will be
done Immediately and establishing custom
