Manila.

(From the Manila Papers.) The third engineer of the steamer Salta dora named Robert Thompson, was found dead in his cabin-on the night of the 12th June. The unfortunate man only entered the service of the steamer on that day, The deceased took his meals as usual and retired to his cabin by night-time. It appears that the first engineer returned on board about 11 p.m., and proceeded to call the deceased, but as no sewer was heard, he entered the deceased's cabin and struck a matoh, when he discovered him quite dead. According to an enquiry held on the 18th, the deceased is said to have died from heart disease.

Mr W. Paterson occupied the chair, and in the course of a few introductory remarks, reminded the meeting that the present was a most appropriate time to again bring forward this important and ever- recurring question. They had all witnessed the havoo caused by the inundation then subsiding.

The Chairman concluded

A committee of six was accordingly appointed; and the meeting terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman.

The Central Custom House has publish ed a notification in the Gareta of the 16th June, which is of much interest to com- merce, It runs as follows:-"Those mer chants who have requested that the foreign merchandise imported into these islands, under flage also foreign, from the 1st June 1871 to same date in 1872, should enjoy they suggesting the election of a committee, privilege of reduction of 25 per cent. of duty, the same as if it were carried under the national flag, according to the decres of the 28th June 1871, or that all be subject to the same duty, and those pe sons connected with trade who think themselves ruined by the said Royal Decree, may send in, dur- ing the period of four months from the date of publication of this notice (June 16), any such claim they may think fit, justify ing the sailing from the foreign ports of the vessels conveying of the merchandise which has arrived at the ports of the ar- chipelago daring the said year, furnishing aiso, if possible, the date on which the sald decree has been officially made known to the nations from whose ports the Importing vessels Ieft,4'
