| 'oSue UdZette states lnat the notifications III
the English tariff, which permit the fee impor
tation of cattle and all sorts of meat into
Nreat Britain, have so reacted on the Hamburg
markets that prices have risen Immediately, SO
much so thatit is sensibly felt by the middle
classes, whilst the poor are scarcely able to buy
meat at ALL In the course of the last year,
hamburg exported to England from 5000 to
| 1000 head of horned cattle
Discussions continue as to how the Tariff will
fare in the Lords. The opinions of some 500
mem bers of that House are ascertained, it il
said, and they are nearly balanced; but the views
ofsome so are oscillatng. Upon these the fate
OF the measure and the Government de-
ponds.
It's asserted, with good deal ofconfidence,
by the advocates of the Tariff, that majority
OF at least % will affirm the bill, but that some
amendments in committee may endanger its ex-
stehce.
IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF Coon HOPE
Threatened IJtr by the KqtrS. We have re-
eelved Cape of Good Hope papers to the 10th
February, inclusive, which bring important
intelligence to the effect that the kafirs seri-
ously mediate an attack upon Graham's town.
The inhabitants of the colony were thrown in
TO state OF great CONSERVATION by the report
ed threat, and the Lieutenant Governor put
the troops in motion to guard against any such
attack, while the inhabitants determined TO
patrol and protect the town, relieving each 9TH
or at stated intervals. The latest information
however, respecting the Kafr movements,
would seem to indicate that the contemplated
attack was without foundation, and that San
dlIla and his band were exceedingly sorry that
that their rash acts had led to any such ground
less suspicious; but when it is known what
treacherous race Of people the kafirs are, we
trust that the Lieutenant Governor will not be
thrown of his guard, by any declarations, how
ever specious, made by the chiefs of such no.
torious tribes.
Accounts had been received from Algers of
an engagement between the column of General
Cavaignac and an Arab force, six leagues from
Tlemcen. The General had received a sort
of challenge from new Khalia, who was
DESTROYS Of trying his strength against the
French. The khalla fixed the day and place.
On the day appointed, the 23d, Gen. Cavgnac
left Tlemcen very early in the morning with a
body of cavalry and his column, and marched
towards the appointed spot. The French
found an Arab encampmont, and the enemy
Immediately assumed an offensive attitude
The Arabs appeared to be above 5000 in num-
Der, viz, 1900 horse and 1000 foot. The
Combat was sharp, and lasted two hours. The
Arabs fought desperately, but being put to
rout they took to fight, leaving 200 dead
We had some loss. 1t is said that u chef de
battalion, and some officers, were killed,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, April 9. We
