se,zur. of Cigar. and cigarettes.

Two seizures were reported at the Custom
House yesterday. One by Inspector j. 81. Jsmi-
son. of four barrels of cigarettes while being car
ried ashore from the steamship Beaufort st Al
giers, by parties unknown; the other of eighteen
boxes Of cigars, seized in possession of passen'
gers on board the steamship Yezoo, by Inspectors
Solomon and Kennedy. Neither of the vessels
are implicated by these seizures, il being not
unfrequent occurrence to find passengers who,
unfamiliar with the customs regulations, bring
over from Havana cigars, ETC., for their private
use. The law prohibits importations of this kind,
in packages Of less than three thousand, to be
entered on the vessels manifest. The cOnfsca-
tion and sale of the property seized is the extent
to which the law is enforced.
