the lamented
decease of the nuke English oration
.to _ _
of Wellington excited the deepest
interest.
The following lines in the poem on "British India,"
by Chalks Watts, were loudly
applauded:—
-
" The veteran chief, the hero of our age,
His earliest laurels reaped on luaia's shore,
When burst the storm of, vengeful Tippoo's rage,
And Assays heard the victor's cannon roar.
E'en though he sleeps, to crown the fight no more,
Still will each Briton point with honest pride
Where Wellington in fame began to soar,
Ere that, beyond the Douro's silvery side.
The countless hosts of France he gallantly defied!"
The orations having been brought to a conclusion, the
cflicers, according to usage, laid their staves of office be-
fore the Lord Mayer, and were re-appointei for the en-
suing year. In the theantirao the "white glove" was
banded round for the benefir of the young gentlemen

THE SPANISH TARIFF.
A royal cl.cree, dated 10th inst., and countersigned
by Senor Bravo Murillo, was published at Madrid on
the 12th inst., by which the duties on hardwares
and other miscellaneous articles, and also on flax,
linen thread, Saxon wool, woollen cloths (called
Lanas Dulces), and on mules, are ordered to be re-
duced. The duty on flax was increased about one
third in 1849, and both the importation and the
revenue fell off in consequence; it is henceforth to
be 22 reels per quintal, being 10 per cent. on the
estimated value of 220 reals per quintal, and carded
ditto 30 reels, being 10 per cent. on the estimated
value of 300 reels, these duties being nearly the same
as those paid before 1849, Under a foreign flag,
these duties will be 27 and 35 reels per quintal.
Linen thread (crude) paid 63.60 and 79.50 reals
per quintal, according to the flag; it is now to pay,
if crude or half bleached, 50 and 55 reals per
quintal; full bleached ditto, 65 and 70 reels, and
dyed ditto, 100 and 105 reals. Saxon wool paid
150 and 180 reels per quintal: it will now pay,
if unwashed, 63 and 68 reels; and if washed
84 and 89 reels. Woollen goods (called Lanas
Dulces) paid 12.70 reels per square vara in
Spanish ships, which is stated to be 64 to 74 per cent.
The duty is to be reduced to 8 reals the square vara,
stated to be equivalent to 14 reels the lineal vara, and
to 48 per cent. ad valorem. In foreign ships it will
be 9.60 reels. The duty on the last-named article
was doubled in December last year, by its being in-
cluded in the class of woollen cloths; and the impor-
tation, which in the lest eight months of 1851 was
96,956 vans, was only 6,364 varas for the first six
months of 1852.
In hardwares and miscellaneous articles the follow-
ing changes are made :—plain buttons, metal horn ;
pasteboard covered, and the materials for covering
paid 6.25 and 7.50 reels per lb., according to the flag.
They are henceforth to pay 2 and 2.40 reels. Tor-
toiseshell, ivory, mother of pearl, and all other but-
tons not included in the preceding, and those with
letters, arms, &c., which were previously included in
the same class with plain buttons, are to pay 4 and
4.80 reels per lb. instead of 6.25 and 7.50.
Watch chains of steel iron, varnished metals, &c.,
duty reduced from 12 and 14.40 reels per dozen to 6
and 7.20 reels per dozen ; ditto gilt or plated, from 24
and 28.80 reels to 12.20 and 15 25.
Gun barrels, double, reduced from 75 and 90 reels
each to 40 and 48 reals ; pistol barrels, double, from
45 and 54 to 24 and 28.80 reals each. Gun barrels,
single, from 45 and 54 to 24 and 28.80 reels each ;
pistol barrels, double, from 30 and 36 to 18 and 21.60
reels each.
Hair brushes, clothes brushes, &c., duty reduced
from 22.50 and 27 reels per dozen to 14 and 16 80
reels.
