—Government has made arrangements'which will in future enable merchants to pay all their Customs Duties by their own cheques upon the Banks, and which while it renders the public revenue perfectly secure, will be equally available to all trades alike, will remove all the objections of the existing system, and effect a further very large economy in the circulation of
the country. The new system comes into operation on the llth October. It is to be confined, in the first instance, to London; The sum annually collected in London for Customs Duties is about £13,000,000.— Illustrated London News, Sep. 30, 1854.
