AID VALoREM DUTIES SIN another part Of this
days paper, will be found article relative to the
ad raloren system of lsvying duties, and certain.
charges of fraud made against individuals engaged
in the importing trade. The Commissioner of Gus
toms, W oever he il, exceeded his duty when he
charged parties with defraudng the revenue, mere
ly ~ on the er parte statements of houses engaged
IN he same line Of business, who were unable 10
compete in fair, straightforward way of doing
business. IL is of the greatest absurdities in
the world for any importing house to accuse an
other of fraud, because that house may, by more
experience and greater shrewdness, purchase the
article at lower prices, and be able TO under
sell them in the same market II the importers
generally adopted this system, one-half would be
accusing the other half of fraud and false swear
ing. The statement Of Godfrey Patson " Co.
places the whole matter in a clear light, showing
that throughout they acted honestly and in good
faith with the government; and every man must
condemn the motive which prompted the ACCUSE
ton Of fraud against them, and induced the Com
missioner Of Customs TO make such report TO the
government, upon the bare statement OF indi-
viduas irritated by the greater success of their
competitors.
There is no doubt but that the al ualOrem system
Of levylng duties is defective. The valuation of
goods is of such arbitrary nature throughout, and
the most riting causes produce such great changes
in prices, that serious dissatisfaction is frequently
expressed, and difficulties arise every side, in
entering goods In the above case, it is seen that
the market value of he same description of shaws,
at periods but few weeks apart, differed so wide
ly, that the most bitter feelings were entertained
by those who had paid high prices, in regard to
those who were fortunate enough to get them at
lower rates, which resulted in an open accusation
of fraud and the manufacture of false Invoices
The specific system Of levying duties would do
away with these difficulties, and in all cases where
the valuation depends SO much upon local causes,
ii would be much better than the ad paiorcm
system.

Brazilian vessels. The incendiary act Of the Cor
morant was wanton and high handed The ves-
sci, we are informed, by disinteresed Judge, was
small craft Of about seventy or eighty tons,
which has been engaged or the coas. tor twenty
years, as a freighter. No charge was made against
its commander, so far as appears by the account;
but she was burned in seemingly reckless man.
ner, and without the most shadowy pretence Of
reason We are prepared TO believe, we must con-
fess that the act direct government act, car
ried out in pursuance of instructions, because
il is in keeping with acts of similar kind
penetrated under Lord Palmerston's direc-
TONS when he was in power, some
years ago. No sooner do we find him with the
power in his hands again, than these aggressive
specimens Of warlike dictation are renewed with
an increased spirit Of insolence. Our own vessels
on the African coast, were frequently interfered
with, which brought out serious remonstrances
from our Minister at the Court Of St James, Mr..
Stevenson. The subject, however, dropped, when
Pamerston dropped out of the cabinet, and is only
now in a fair way of being settled--as Lord Pal
merston seems inclined TO test the right he has
assumed. On this point, though, we shall have
something to say, at a future period, when few
more of our vessels have been searched.
MeanWhhe, we are rdtheT lhquisiuVe 10 KNOW
how we must look upon these acts against Brazil,
and how Brazil will look at them. We shall ex-
Iect TO some official account of transactions
so distinguished by destructive valor and igneous
vengeance, so that we may understand what we
are 10 expect this continent, under the wise and
progressive policy Of Palmerston. He may give
Us some new views on the true policy TO be pur-
sued by nations with the largest civilization, and,
for anything we know to the contrary, may de-
monstrate that il is perfectly Christiar-like and
very kind, his part TO fire into and destroy any
vessel that is suspected of harboring manacled
men or the yellow fever We must learn some
thing Let us have light.
