The Collector hay bad a set of books procured alphabetically arranged, {n which all packages are entered under their proper letters, so that when a package {s wanted it can be found at once. Tnerame plan has been adopted with merchant’s papers. Under the old system the packages had to be hunted for through a mas of unclassified entries, and the papers through a perfect pile of documents, sometimes amounting to a thousand. To render this part of the businoss complete the lofts in the warebovses must be alphadet{ sally arranged; but this cannot be done until new buildings are furnished. It would bo about as easy to restore order out of chaos as to sooomplieh this reform in Broad street, Mr. Schell, however, is alive to the necssalty of £0 ar. ranging the lofts; but in the meantime {t is weil to have secured #0 much improvement tn the branches above noticed. We arecredibiy informed that for some weeks past only two or three compiaints of delay fin deliverisg goods baye been mado to the Collector, ana theso have been, in each cave, promptly atended to. It is preity well known totho merchants that not long ago It usually took from fourteen days to three weeks to get a paskage through tho Custom House, four days of whioh, at least, were oooupied in Mquidation of the duties. Now goods can be delivered within twenty-four hours after they aro examined. This cortainly locks ke reform, The law provides thet the duly should be paid immediately on goods passing; but {hat law was never put in operation in eur Cast ym Howe until Mr. Scheil entered on the office of Collector, Ibis enforced now, and the consequence is that merchants aro anxious to secure thelr property as soon as possiblo, whilo im many otees under the old raie they were content to jet the goods lie, and bave the use of the money. This may be one reason for the sudden dimtnation in the stored goods since July last, But, as a mul itude of Interests are Involved in this Cus tom House business, tt is mot to be expested that any change oan be effected without giving cause of somplaint to some clarzes of persons. Wo heve seen that the cart men and tho expressmen have already pronounced the new reform a grievance. Anoher glast—the Custom Hovse brokere—are also discontented. We understand they have had one preliminary indignation moeting already, and mean to resist the reform vigorourly, fearing, no doubt, that if all the machinery of the Custom House should be got to work smoothly, thelr occupation, like Ouhelio’s, would be gone. They allege that the committes of merchants have a complished and can accomplish nothing; that tho present improvement is only temporary; ard that the improve- ment, as far as it in said to exist even, is greatly overrated. But it seems to us that if this were so, there would be no necesrity for any movement on their part. Tt is not apparent to us, however, that the business of the brokers would be at all injured by the contemplated or accomplished reforms. In any case they must be employ- ed in preparing the papers and a:tending t> the formula of passing goods; and {t strikes us that if business is dono systematically, instead of without order or regularity, they will be able to accomplinh the ir objects with more facility. Between these contending interests and iafiuences Mr. Collector Schell has no easy task to perform; but s steady band and a cool head can effect anything.
