official, but do not distinguish the ports from which it was
shipped. The latest year for which such distinction has been made
to this time is for the year 1841; for which, or any preceding year
back to 1832, we shall be glad to furnish the particulars: for

C.D.F.----, near Rochdale.--_The question connected with the New
Customs Amendment Bill has engaged our best attention, but its
investigation has raised two or three very nice points of
international law, on which we are now taking the best opinion
which can be obtained, and before our next number we shall be able
to give a reply as satisfactory as can possibly be obtained from
any quarter on this important but very nice question. We have now
before us the whole of the particulars of the treaties in question,
but we wish to make our reply valuable by giving the best legal
construction on some disputable points. This, however, is only
another of those daily evidences which we have of the absurdity and
inconvenience of a great commercial country like this attempting to
regulate its laws and transactions by treaties, which, however
convenient they may be when made, may, by the ordinary course of
events, be rapidly changed._
