imported' into this place, before a permit
can be granted for the landing ; of such!
articles at our wharves. - Until recently the
Custom House officials were in the habit,
in certain cases, of taking upon themselves
the responsibility of allowing goods from
foreign ports to be landed before the im
port duties were paid, as a mere matter of
accommodation, but hew, as we are in
formed, they have no discretion in the
matter at all, their instructions being 'per
emptory.: In order to secure the prompt
landing of all foreign importations, there
fore, and ' to avoid all annoyance and in- i
convenience to which they might be sub

form themselves and be prepared in ad
