THE NATIONAL MISTER. • _ . RATES OF INSURANCE. The last winter and spring piovei most destructive to the Underwriter's at Lio)d's ; e much so that the premiums re ceived by them were ivadequate to inert the " genera! and particular averages" they were made liable for; putting alto gether out of the question the " total losses." These circum stances, in conjunction with the heavy losses which are known to hate recently occurred in the Indian Seas, and off the Cape of Good Hope, have occasioned the Underwriters to hold some meetings of late, the result of which has been to adopt, and adhere in future to the Rates of Instil-Noce specified in the subjoined list. The correctness of the statement may be relied on. ' V Premiums of Inaunnee on India Risks by 6rst•class ships : Bengal—Out 70e. per cent. Ditto...

MARRIAGES IN HIGII Livs.---The eldest daugh ter of Lord Harris (the General who so distinguished himself at the taking of Seringapatam) was united, on Tuesday lust, to Mr. Bradley, a gentleman of large fortune—the ceremony was performed at the family mansion, in Great George-street, Westmin ster. The alliance between Lord Viscount Mande ville, son of the Duke of Manchester, and the accomplished daughter of Lady (I!ivia Sparrow, is Fettled to take place in November next. The Lady is an heiress; her fortune is 20,0001. a year. The Earl of Liverpool has fixed upon the same month fur his marriage with Miss Chester. Mr. Baring's son, report says, is to receive the hand of Lady H. Mon tague, daughter of the Earl of Sandwich. The final reductions iu all the Royal Dock-yards, to bring them to a permanent peace establishment, have been decided upon. The number of workmen and labourers discharged from this dock-yard since Match last, is about 30u; about 250 more are to be discharoed. 'these numbers will include the whole of the labourers and scar:Amen, whose duties arc to be performed by mechanics, during the peace : so that ail the workmen in the Duck-yard retained ......_ _ (1800,) will be mechanics. *lbis total number is I , exclusive of those who work in the woodinilk, metal mills, millwrights' shoo, and rcpemakers, in number about 200 more. When the !lumber discharged has reduced the whole to about '2,200 men, it will then be decided whether the men shall resume working on Saturdays : should they, the olaibers will be fiarther reduced by discharges, until their number is 1800: but•if they shall continue to work five days only in the week, the numbers will be reduced by casualties only, until that number (1800) remains. The men, afterwards, will be permitted to work longer hours and earn more money. Last night 50 men were discharged, being the filth fortnightly dis charge, with the addition of ten to the number. All the future discharges will be labourers and scavel men. There are still 1,000 shipwrights in the Duck-yard. It is calculated that, eventually, nearly 900 men will be discharged, most of whom, with their families, it is fearfully apprehended, will be come a burden on the parish of PUrliiel4-11amp• shire Telegraph. Among the numerous depredations committed by the light-fingered gentry, during the King's visit in Scotland, there is none which excites more sym pathy than the loss sustained by Mr. Blair, of Cockston. Tired of the luxuries he enjoyed in Edinburgh, Mr. Blair proceeded to the coach-oflice to take his seat for Dundee, thinking " good easy num," that he would pay his ticket out of the sum of 81. being the remainder of the money he had carried with him to bear his expenses. "Is there reoin.for me in the etnx.ll?" Clerk—Yes Sir, there is one place, but whether it will hold a gentleman of your size, I cannot say till you try.' " What is your charge ?" " Ten shillings, Sir." " God bless me ! my money is gone!" cried the dumb foundered Justice, us he fumbled in his breeches pocket : "My money is gone! my pocket has been picked. D—n me if ever I come to Edinburgh again 1" Mr. J. H. Scott, writer in Dundee, also suikred some loss in the same place where the portly functionary of the Guild Court was deprived of his gold watch. The Hon. Mr. Mantle had his coat cut in a crowd in the street, and his pocket-book with 251. abstracted. The bodies of the unfortunate waiters drowned on Sunday morning, off Worthing, by the upsetting of a small punt, in which they had put till; have been washed ashore. Tiny presented a shucking vectit ee, the flesh of their faces being completely eaten eff, supposed by crabs.
