to the Tombs aud the trunk and contents are at the
Sixth Ward Staton-HOuse.

FACILITATING BUSINESS At THE CUsroM-HoUsE.-
There has been considerable dissatisfaction manifested
of late by the importers Of foreign goods at the alleged
DELAYS experienced in getting their importations
through the Custom House, and It will be recolected
That meeting Of the merchants was held in the Ex-
change few days since for the purpose OF discussing
the matter and devising means of relief ct which
Con mittee was appointed to confer with Mr. Sehell
on the subject. That Committee, consisting OF Messrs
John H. Brown, Wilson @. HUT and Gideon Potts
have had number of conferences with the Collector
and Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Schel accompanied the
Committee on visit to the various public stores in
order that they mign. get an idea Of the amount OF
business going on in them, which has latterly been
vastly increased by the workings of the new tariff
aid also to give them a better opportunity to
suggest the reforms needed to facilitate business
During the tour of the stOrehouses, which were
found completely crammed with packages intranstu,
number of suggestions were made TO remedy existing
evils which were deemed practicable and worthy OF
trial. and upon their return the Committee expressed
themselves entirely Satisfied with the disposition man
fest.d by Mr. ScheA to favor any reforms that VIII
accomplish the desired ends. Nothing definite, how
ever was arrived at but it is understood that some
new plans of bus mess will be speedily maured and
put into operation as possible. The business
ofthe Custom-House and the amount OF goods IN the
warehouses has been greater for month past thsa
ever before The monthly receipt of packages at the
warehouses has averaged for several years past
H. OOO hut in the month of July this was increased to
II, 900. In view OF this vast increase of business,
Collector Sche on Thursday issued orders to the
clerks and employees in several Of the departments,
requiring them to work from o'clock in the morning
until O'Clock in the afternoon, instead OF from .
o'clock until B. heretofore. This order, OF course,
is not reshed by the employees, but it is understood
that it will be enforced until the present pressure OF
busness is relieved.
