Grain and Flour.

Grain and Pulse of every kind not otherwise enumerated, pays 9d. the 100 lbs; if ground, prepared, or manufactured, Is. the 100 lbs; arrowroot and rice in bulky ½d. a lb; plain and unsweetened biscuits, 3s. a cwt; fancy biscuits, 2d. a lb; arrowroot, sago, and tapioca (in tins, jars, or bottles), groats, ground rice, and pea-flour, baking powder, tartaric acid and soda, maccaroni, vermicelli, maizena, and cornflour, all pay 10 per cent, on the declared value at the port where landed.

A curious state of things occurs, which may be fairly attributed to this shameful tax on all farinaceous food.
