A Merchants’ Association.

Taoven the meeting of merchants did not, as the Patriot states, have the effect of rescinding the Custom’s order in respect to the appraisement of goods—the order hav- ing been countermanded before the meet- ing was held—and though it is clear that, under the Custom’s Act passed by the Mc- Kenzie Government, the Customs Inspec- tors have not exceeded their duties, siill it will be well that the meeting was held if it results in} an association of mer- ciarnts or a rejuvenation of the Board of Trade, through which merchants could make suggestions or ropresent their greiv- ances to the Government with dignity and

elect.

Customs Regulations.

We are requested to state that in fixing the. value for duty of goods at the Custom Houses in the Dominion of Canada, the 3lyt and 32nd section of chap. 10, 49th Victoria, passed 23th April, 1877, by the MeKenzie Government, governs all ap- praisers and collectors, and it is their duty t»> use their best endeavors tu have these ssctions, whether obnoxious or otherwise, enforced. We are informed that itis the custom of American manufacturers to make special cliscounts to Canadian purchasers. For instance, Mr. B., of Pictou, buys in Pittsbury 20 doz. shovels for 3160, and gets discount of 45 per cent. and 15 per cent.; while Mr. C., of Boston, could only get 45 per cent. If the Customs authorities by any means ascertain this to be the case, Mr. B.

invoice as well as on the 15 per cent. ; and

must pay duty on the foot of the

if there is a discount for cash apparent on the invoice or otherwise, it may be added on. “This has been fully enforced in what the Paty ot chooses to call the favored ports. B:low we give two sections of the above recited Act, which may show that the Cus- toms authorities have not exceeded their duty :—

31. In all eases where any duty is imposed on any goods imported into Canada,ad valorem, or according to the value of such goods, such value shali be understood to be the fair market value thereofin the principal markets of the country whence the same were exported di- rectly to Canada; and every appraiser, and every Collector, when acting as such, shall, by all reasonable ways and meaus in his power, ascertain the fair market value, as aforesaid, of any goods to be appraised by him, and estimate and appraise the value for duty of such goods, at the fair market value, as afores:id.

For I saw, in the heart of one of our streets, CK ATES A dark and busy throng. ; et ie

Midst the troubled numbers of living men, Who would pass him idly by.

‘By your honour’s command,

A culprit I stand,

An example to ali the ship’s crew ;

And condemned to be whipt,

And if I am flogged ’tis my due ;

A cat, I am told,

In abhorrence you hold,

Your honour’s aversion is mine ;

If a cat with one tail

Makes your stout heart to fail,

Oh ! save me from one that has nine,”

Sales brisk at the following prices: Beef (small) from 5 to 12 cents per lb; béef (qr.) from 3 to 7 cents per lb.; mutton, from 4to 8 cents per 1b.; lamb, from 4 to 8 cents per lb.; pork (per lb.) from 6 to 9 cents; pork (per carcass) from 5 to 6 cents; geese, from 35 to 55 cents each; ducks, from 18 to 28 cents each; chickens, from 30 to 40 cents per pair; butter (fresh) from 16 to 20 cents per Ib.; butter (tub) from 14 to 16 vents per lb.; eggs, from 16 to 18 per doz.; potatoes, from 16 to 20 cents per bushel; cats, from 33 to 34 cents per bushel; hay, from 35 to 43 cents per 100 Ibs.

1880.—We are in receipt of Chappelle’s Almanac for 1850. Besides the varied and useful information an Almanac usually con- tains, it has lists of the Ministry of the United Kingdom, members of the Privy Council not now in office, together with the new Tariff in full. The Prophecy of Professor Grimmer is siecidedly sensational. According to him, there is to be a series of plagues and famines from 1880 until 1887, and the most populous coun- tries of the earth are to be depopulated. Those who like this kind of reading will be fully gratified by the perusal of the latter part of Chappelle’s Almanac. The publisher de- serves great credit for getting the Almanac out so early, and it will doubtless have a large sale.

Seieely A Murilerous Attack on a Ravenue Officer.

We regret to learn that John A. Me- Donald, 8sq., Inspector of Inland Reve- nue, is contined to his bed from injuries he received at the hands of a Seuris’ smuggler on Saturday last. Mr. MeDonald, om in- formation received, proceeded to Souris on the 17th inst. to search for illicit goods. Not receiving any information he remain ed at Souris until Saturday, when he learn ed that a quantity of goods were secreted in a certain warehouse. In company with Collector Mo ,nah he visited and searched the suspeciel premises, but nothing conld be found. Not satisfied with the result of this search, he placed an officer in charge of the premises--giving him at the same time arevolv.r. On that eveaing Mr. McDon- ald was returning from tea, and when leav- ing Mrs. Beaton’s gate, he was struck on the heal with astick and fell bleeding to the ground. The scoundrels then pounced wpon hi n, kicked him most brutally, and intlicted such injurfes upon him that he is not likely to recover forgsome months. He was ait-nded by Dr. McIntyre. During Sunday he revived considerably and was remove: to this city yesterday.

Mr. McDonald was with a Customs Officer a week ago when a seizure of smug- gled goods was made; and he was doabt- less attacked because the smugglers thought he woul.) be likely to make further seizures. Report has it that the officer placed in charze o| the suspected premises was taken off during Mr. McDonald’s absence,and that the goods were removed. The assault was, no doubt, committed by some interested
