Lombard-street, 6th Nov., 1844.
Sin,—ln your paper of last night you state, under
the police report, that the Steward of the Ocean
steamer from Rotterdam was charged with having a
great quantity of smuggled tobacco in his possession ;
and as the said report is entirely false and without
the least foundation, I will thank you to insert this
