Ona of tho lirst lnvougruitivs encountered was tho luck of uniformity at tho various ports ne to tho quantity of wall uecussary to coustitue o bushel,—the Canadlan bushel containlug thirty- BiX pounds, while the Aworican bustel bolds but thirty-four pounds. At Port Huren, De- trult, Buspeosion Bridge, Cupo Viacent, und B, Iousa's Point tho thirty-six-pound bushol is used, and the Amerloan standard at Bufato, Og- donsburg, Oswegn, and 8t. Albans. The rvport suggests that all Collcctors bo direoted to liqul- dato malt ontries nt tho Amerlcan standnrd bushel of thirty-four pounds, Tho next irregularity to which Mr, Hinds di- rects nttention fs tho allowanco at nearly all frontier ports of n discount of 215 per cent for * dustage " or * sercenin; ‘Thls 18 noth- me clso tha the naturnl _ apronts of tho burloy developed fn malting, and cannat be eonsidered u forelgn substance for which altownneo should bo made, The dutles withhold from tho Govermment from this one sourco have been consldernble. From nine frontlor ports cited fn the report the importations of Canadinn malt wnounted to Kil344 bushels, tho valie of which, less the 2% per cont cotnmise sion, was §618,214, Tho nvcrufu involco prico tvas 4.8 cents per bushel, and the allowances for “dust” ‘wero $13317, Tho duty on this umount woulil huve been &2,7K), lm\lllug an ane nunl loss to the Gavernmeont from thia com- paratively insignitteant ftam of $3,600, Auother evasion of tho law was found n tho fuct that the cartnge of from ono to one and one-half cents per bushel is not includel vn the involees, althoush it is n dutinblo charge. Tho ronrly nugredato of this cartugo chargu woull have been £10,409, and the duty withheld on this item amounted to over £2,000, ‘The 8peelnl Agent dovates conslilerable space to shiowing tho trio market value of Toronta and Bay of Quinte barley-malt, by Which he nr- Tives at tha amuouat ol duty which has fraudu- lently been witbheld, He drrives ut tho covelus slon that tho narket price §2:% conts per bushel for malt greater than the barley fromn whicl tho iualt was mude, making tho murket price of mnit whout 8 cents ver Amerlenn bushel of thitty-four pounds. As tho value of tho tnipor- tations for tho nine months cited amounted to $41R214 at tho nverage price per bushel, and as this was only 8 per cont of tho correct valuo, thie full valte of these Importations must have heen $T18.85% This difercnce of 100,651 totully cseaped tho . payment of tho 20 per cent duty, which, with the 81§ per cont legnl commlssian, nmaunts to §20,624 for tho ninn months, or &27,- [0 for the yenr. If to thia snm be rdded the L0 of dltegal * du allownnces, und tho 000 of duity withheld but due on tho cartage, it lio scen' that the Govermnent has unnually been defrnuded out of over 33,000 on the fin- portationof Canadian bartey, Col, Hinda recommends na 0 practical method of arriving at tho value of a commodity under all clrcumstnnees, that the true market value he hold to bo nn advance of 25 cents per bushel of thirty-six potnds, ns Involeed fn Cunndy, abovo current quoted prices of No. & Torouto grde barley, DBay of Quinto barloy com= manda 10 per cent bigher prico and should be esthnated necordingiy. It 13 suggested that the referenca bo made to the nvoruge price of barley during April and May, when tho demand is ren! and notgenuine. This report will possibly bo the basis of some prosccutions, wnd will cortainly be the means of checking tho heavy frauds fu the mait fwportation. GEN.

The party were delayed on the route by a snow-storm, and arrived nearly four hours Iate. | The ex-resldent was very much fatigued, and as he had to make an carly start ho immediately retired, e wasup carly this morning. Ife must hava been touched by the memories which crowded upon him as ho gazed from his hotel window on objects mnde famillar to him in his woed-hautlng days, At 8:30 this worning tho party took carringes nud were driven to the Union Depot, whery they took the Iron Mountain traln for Mesico.

I have lately been élected Presi- dent of the Mexican Southern Ratlway, and of course it {3 largely in the interest of that rond that I am traveling.
