Silt,—Sir P. Laurie wishes to know of a Mr.
Venables, of Newgate-market, the effect of the
new Tariff (see your paper of the 21st), soy He-
thing transpires respecting Spanish and Belp.an
cattle, and if the account given by him is equally
correct with that of the importation of Americanpork, Sir Peter has not the information he de-
sires. If lam correct, the old duty of :28s. per
cwt., or 3d. per lb., remains on pork and ham
until time loth of October, then it will be re-
duced to 14s. per cwt., or 11d. per lb. Pork,
present duty 3d. per lb., hams time same ; and
yet, Sir, we have been told that American pork
is selling at 3d., 4d., and sd. per lb. ; West-
phalia hams at 7d. lam your obedient serraut,
A CONSTANT READER.

WOOLWICH—MONDAY..
. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander
George Snell, left Woolwich
Iyesterday afternoon for
Hamburg,' with the Earl of Wilton, Lord Charles
Wellesley, 'Sir, William Young, and several members
attached to the British Court on board, having full
powers to invest the King of Saxony with the Most
Noble Order of the Garter, the object of their mission
to the Continent.
The Roy George yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus
Fitzelarenc4, left her moorings opposite the doskyalsd,
Woolwich, this afternoon, and was towed down the'
river by the African steam-vessel. The Royal yacht
Will resume her station at rottsmouth during the
winter, no order having been issued to change the
station to Woolwich, as has been stated in, one of the
weekly papers.
Tile Sinhad sailed on Saturday for Portsmouth.
There is not one word of truth in the statement in
the United Service Gazelle of Saturday, that "Courts-

a probability that such will be the ease in either in-
stance. Indeed it is certain there will not even be an
inquiry in the case of Commander A. S.. Hamond, of
the Salamander; and should an inquiry, which is the
uttno3t that can be made in the case of the Shear-
water, take place, Captain Washington will be able to
show that no blame eau be attached to him or those
under his command. - The explanations already given,
there is every reason to believe, have proved satetfac-
Wry to. the highest naval authorities. •
