Slllcation OF merchandise, SO that cor.
responding action may be had at the
u'ilcrcnt points. 1t is singular
fact, that various articles have been
recently imported, which although in.
tr'nS!cally the same, have been
rated at Philadelphia, Ncw-York and
Boston, SO as to apply three scales OF
duty, ranging through the minimum
medium and maximum, because the
Appraisers at those ports have allowed
or caused them to be entered under
different classiiications.
While this system is obviously
wrong and unjust, it also initiates
against the public interests and Sc.
rl"usly effects the revenue. Tho
Board OF General Appraisers have
assigned to particular divisions. Mr..
fiddle, of Philadelphia, will visit Mo.
bllc, New-Oplcans, Galveston and tho
intermediate ports. Mr.. Benson will
visit Wilmington, Charleston, Savan-
nan and hey West. Mr.. Bradley has
proceeded to California. The reports of
these officers, after they have re-
assembled in May or June, and fully
compared notes, will doubtless contain
suggestions which will be valuable in
enabling the Secretary of the Treasury
TO issue instructions to the various
collectors, SO as to secure something
approaching to general system in the

FuGIrIvE SLAvEs,-According to
the Census report, an abstract of which
has been made and published, it seems
that during the year ending June,
1850, l,Oll slaves escaped from their
owners. Assuming this number, as
an average of the annual escapes, we
would ask how many have been re-
turned by virtue Of the Fugitive Slave
Law! Has it been moro than one in
a hundred! Has this law restored
more than the odd e1epen, out of
the one thousand and eleven!
