knowledge has been received by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury that an extensive
practice has been carried ON along the Cana
dian frontier by persons shipping goods on
foreign vessels to foreign ports, to be re
the frontier. This custom is violation OF
law, and subjects vessels engaged in it to
forfeiture of their cargoes and the payment
of tonnage duty at the rate of fifty cents
per ton on her measurement. Collectors.
however, are in doubt respecting the pen
atty, and in many cases, in order to collect
tonnage duty, have refused to admit goods,
holding the consignees of said goods for
payment OF the tonnage duty. Secretary
Boutwell, has, therefore, issued instructions
that penal tonnage imposed on vessel is
not charge on goods apparently liable to
forfeiture, in so far as to require the pre-
payment of that tax before entry of the
goods

The St. Louis Democrat, of Monday, says
The past week has been fruitful of change
in freights to river points. Early in the
week the steamers advanced their rates to
New Orleans to thirty-fve cents per barrel
on flour, forty cents per barrel on pork, and
freight. The barge line followed suit on
Thursday, and freights to Memphis and
Vicksburg will most likely be higher to-day.
Mobile freights will be advanced to-day to
seventy-fi five cents per barrel on flour, forty
seven and a half cents on grain, and forty
two cents on bacon. The all-rail rate to
New Orleans is eighty cents on -four and
