REpucTIoN OF THE DUTIES ON FOREIGN Mar
The provisions OF the new Tariff with respect TO
torelgn meats, came into operation on Monday, and
these articles are now admissible at the reduced
duties. A reference to our advertising columns will
we thlnk, sufficiently show that this measure is not
destined to be imperative. This day will be offered
tor sale, by different brok ers, 1868 barrels of Amer-
can and Canadian beet, I,4l7 barrels of American
and Canadian pork 23S barrels and Is hogsheads of
American hams, and 260 boxes of American cheese
Upon the latter article we may remark, aera-
ton of duty is made by the Tariff Next week, we
observe another sale announced of 53l barrels of
American beef; and no doubt considerable guam
ty OF the article Is offering, which is advertised
in our columns. In few weeks we venture to
predict that the effect OF this extensive introduction
OF foreign meats will be sensibly felt in our provis
ION markets. and if the quality of the article by at
all tolerabe, the operation OF the measure must
confer very material boon upon the laboring class
es during the approaching winter.-Lipepod paper

My LoRDs,-f beg to call your Lordships attention to
the subject of the given Her Mai Ma

coast OF Africa and to the proceedings which have taken
place with reference thereto detailed in the papers
named in the margin Of this letter.
Her Majesty's Advocate General TO whom these pa

into execution.
The Queens Advocate is of opinion that the block

well as to the letters addressed from this department to
the Admiralty the 9Th April the LIST and l7h June and
the 18th July of last year would submit to the consdera
ton Of your Lordshps that 1t desirable that Her Mses
tys naval officers employed suppressng the slave

tories and carrying of persons held slavery, unless
power upon whose territory or within whose jurisdiction
the factory the slaves found should by treaty with
Great Britain, or by formal written agreement with Br
fish officers have empowered Her Majestys navel forces
to take those steps for the suppression of the slave trade
and that IT, in proceeding to destroy any factory shoul
be found to contain srchandse other property which
there may he suppose belong foreign
ders should be taken not to include such property
in the destruction of the factory.
With respect to the blockading rivers, it appears from
the papers referred to that the terms blockade and block
aiding have been used by British naval officers when adj

the slave trading stations with view the better to
