OF THE editMANI IN 1842.—PROCEEDS
OF SAI,:-; DETAINED 13' THE PORIUGUESE
GOVEI“AI ENT.

The toth,wine copy of a letter, transmitted to Lloyd's,
refers tome dete,-,tioiny the Portunese Gov,,rnment,
f a t.un of money, the proceeds of the sale of a part
of the cargo of the Ch,tharn, wrecked at Figuera, in
November, 1842. Tht, tirecmStance has created a good
deal of imtet est in the cOurcercial world ; and some
months back there appeared, under a similar head, part
cf the correspondence between the representatives of the
parties claimiog to be interested in the proceeds of the
sale, and the Portugliese Government and her Majesty's
Government. From the prompt interference of her
Majesty's Government .in the affair at that time, there
appeared every likelihood of its being speedily and
satisfactorily arranged ; but from the following official
communication from the Foreign-office, it will be seen
t 2 be still unsettled. It appears that in reply to the in-
structions of Lord Aberdeen to Lord Howard de Walden,
her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon upon the subject, that
the Portuguese Government had offered to pay into the
hands of her Majesty's Consul at Lisbon, or any Agent
of Lloyd's, or to any o:her person representing the ge-
neral interests of all concerned in the wreck, on their
assuming all the responsibility of the due partition of
the sum, and giving the Portuguese Government a formal
release from any further claims with reference to unre-
presented parties. Messrs. Pendell and Co. do not re-
present all the parties interested in the whole of the
proceeds of the wreck, and it is believed are unwilling
to give such security :
" Foreign-office, April 15, 1844.
" Gentlemen—l am directed by the Rol of Aber-
deen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
17th of January last, requesting that her Majesty's Mi-
nister at Lisbon might be instructed to demand the un-
conditional payment to Messrs. Rendell and Co. of the
motley due to the persons interested on account of the
proceeds, of the sale of a part of the cargo of the
Chatham. _

" And I am directed by Lord Aberdeen to state to you,
in reply, that as Messrs. Rendell end Co. appear to be
neither the proprietors, nor the duly authorised agents
of the proprietors, of some p-ortions of the goods which
were wrecked, his Lordship is of opinion that her Ma-
jesty's Government Are_ not entitled, under the treaty of
1842, to demand the unconditional payment to Messrs.
Rendell of the whole of the proceeds in question. Ali
that her Majesty's Government can justly require is,
that the Portuguese Government shall pay to Messrs.
Rendell such sums as are due to the parties who have
constitute d them agents for.the purpose of receiving the
money so due, and of giving a release for the tame.
I am, therefore, to acquaint you that Lord Aber-
deen will send instructicns
.to the above effect to Lord
Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon.
" J am, Gentlemen,
" Your most obedient humhle Servant,
(Signed) " H. U. ADDINGTON.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE

" And be it tu, titer enacted, and hereby declared,

The pamirs front the Cape of Good hope, received
yesterday, also mention. :n addition-to the above most
irriß)rtant intelligence, that an order o!' the Queen in
Couticil had been passed for removing the prohibitions
ti+h;ch have existed since 1832, in respect of the im-
portatiin of foreign oil, beef, pork, and fish, which
articks will now b.: admissible at the following moderate
scale of duties, viz.:— s.
Mt at, salted or cur,d, of all sorts, not being
the production or ma:lam:tura of the
United Kingdom, „or or any British pos-
session (the cwt.). 0 3 0
Meat, salted or cured, of all sorts, being the
production or manufacture of the United
Kingdom, or of any British possession (the

cwt.)
Oil, train and Vubber, the produce of fish, or
erewurts living in the sea, of foreign fishery
(the tun, imp i rid measure)
Oil, spermaceti, of foreign fishery 7 10 0
Fish, dried or salted, the fins and skins, the
produce of creatures living in the sea, of
foreign fishing or taking (for every 1004 of
the value thereof) l2 0 '0
From the combined operation of these two measures,
important results are anticipated, in favour of the Cape
colony.
