adjusted, will pay the same rate of duty as the third class of cast-iron wares, viz., 5fr. (2s. Od. per cwt.)

EARTH WAGONS, used in the construction of railways, and such like operations, which are classed under the general Tariff with machines, will pay as "carriages," 10 per cent. ad valorem.

RIVER BOATS, and wherries of iron, also classed by the general Tariff with machines, will pay as "ships and boats of iron."

Until the new Tariff comes into force for carriages and ships, earth wagons, river boats, and wherries will pay according to the regulations of the general Tariff (wagons, 24fr.; river boats, 36fr. per 100 kilogrammes).

If small boats or vessels of steel be imported, they will be liable to a duty of 40fr. (16s. 3d. per cwt.)

61. REFINED SUGAR.-The duty of 41fr. (16s. 8d. per cwt.) applies to refined sugar of British produce of all kinds, in whatever shape it may be presented, either in loaves, pieces, or in powder.

62. PINS.-Pins of all kinds, whether made of iron, steel, copper, or brass, and are tinned, painted, or varnished, will be admitted at this rate of duty.

**The NOTES to the remaining articles included in the Treaty will be issued as soon as those duties shall come into force.

REGULATIONS AS TO PACKING.

By law of the 17th December, 1814, tools of different kinds were not allowed to be imported in the same case. This regulation is abolished under the Treaty, and tools differently taxed may now be packed in the same case, provided the importer separates each class in such a manner as to prevent delay in their verification at the Custom House. The declarations must always state separately the weight of goods in each category of the Tariff.

PORTS OF ENTRY.

Regulations as to admission of articles which are prohibited under the general Tariff, but which are admitted, by Treaty, from the United Kingdom.

All British goods, which were formerly prohibited, but which, by virtue of the Treaty of January, 1860, are admitted into France from the United Kingdom, will only be admitted at such ports as are open for the reception of articles of a like nature not hitherto prohibited: thus, for instance, iron in lumps or prisms will only be admitted at such Custom Houses as have hitherto been open for the reception of bar iron; works in iron and steel, through the Custom Houses open for the reception of cast-iron and steel; and works in sundry metals, through Custom Houses open for the importation of such metals.
