CINQUE PORT PILOTS.

Office of the General Shipowners' Society, 72/
Cornhill, April 1, 1837.
Sir—The Committee of the General Shipowners' Society
having ascertained that Dover boatmen are in the practice of
falsely representing to masters of vessels coming from the west-
ward that there are no Cinque Port pilots on shore at Dover
the Committee request the favour that a notice may be exhi-
bited at Lloyd's, requiring all masters of vessels to display, ac-
cording to law, the usual signal for a pilot on arrival off Dun-
geness, and to keep it flying until a Cinque Port pilot comes
on board, and on no account to permit it to be hauled down,
by reason of any representation that may be made by boatmen.
I am, Sir, &c.,
WAI. 0 VIATT, Sec.

TRASLATION.

" Her Majesty the Queen, having seen the representation
of the Directors of the Lisbon Custom-house, under date of
the 16th of February, requesting to be informed whether the
favour granted by the 3d article of the Decree of the 16th of
January last to steam-vessels is to come into effect with the
new Custom-house tariffs, as might be inferred from the Order
of the 3d of February, or with the other Decree of the 14th of
November last, with the modification established by the ad
article of the Decree of the 16th of January last, as the Order
of the 3d of February only refers to this last Decree so far as
it treats of the duties stated in the new tariff, and which are to
be paid by goods imported in Portuguese vessels.

" Patree of Neeessidades, March 1, 1837.''
(Extract of the decree of the 16th of January, 1837, referred
to in the preceding.)
TRANSLATION.

" Article 3d, taking into consideration the advantage result-
ing to commerce generally from the expedition with which
steam-vessels perform their voyages, and that they for this very
reason often perform eight or nine voyages in a year, and have
to pay port charges each time, which fall the more heavily
upon them as they are seldom entirely laden, I am pleased to
declare in reference to the decree of the 14th of November
last that steam-vessels shall only pay three-fifths of the ton-
nage duty established by that decree."

An old shoemaker has just died here in great
misery, who, during the first revolution, married a celebrated
countess to save her from the scaffold. The lady afterwards
hastened to quit her liberator and husband, after the reign of
terror. This man, called Jean Royer, who went to market
himself every morning, and who each evening was seen in-
toxicated in the streets, has just died, and very much surprised
was the commissary of police when, being called to verify tho
decease, he found hidden amongst the rags of the old man,
10,000 f. in notes, which this magistrate deposited at tho
hank.—lndicateur of Bordeaux.
