Custom House Corruption—How Merchants and their Clerks Trade in Cuba—Reports from Mexico—Ihe Vestvali Opera Troupe. Quite a scandal bas been created amongst the ofticers of the Custom Honse of this city, in cou- Sequence of discovery of au arrangement that had been entered into between some few wealthy Spanish houses and certain of the appraisers, that ouly the goods of these houses should be passed at a yaluo far less than their actual invalce cost, whereby the said houses paying much lower rates of duties than other firms in the same line of business were enabled to undersell the latter, and thus manage to engroes the whole of the trade of this city, both wholesale and retail, in selling those particular descriptions of goods. Inquiries were instituted into the rapgement stated above. What will be the end of the | discovery remains to be seen. It is generally known | bere that at least the Custom House clerks of the large | mercantile houses—possibly unknown to their principals— have been in the habit of brib'ng the Cusiom House offi- cers, and thus succeeded in only paying @ modicum of the duties on —— fixed by the tari. Thus many of these clerks rapidiy attained great wealth. It must not, how- ever, be supposed that all the Custom House officera of this city are capable of receiving bribes. ‘On Saturday last the Royal Mail Compasy’s steamship Solent returned from Vera Cruz, bringing dates from the city of Mexico to the 4th, and from Vera Cruz to the 6th inst.
