MORE TAXATION.
CnRiSTCiiURCii, This day.
It is stated that orders have been given, commencing yesterday, that all goods arriving by Melbourne steamers, coastal vessels, or English ships, which are detained either by the Customs for examination or for bond, or for transhipments to other ports, are, in addition to tho usual charge for haulage and wharfage, to have a further sum of Is 6d per ton levied upon them. Some correspondence published about a fortnight ago stated that goods brought by the Union Company's boats were exempted from this extra charge imposed upon imports by other ships, the new orders therefore have the effect of removing the exemption complained of as favoritism.
