MONEY MAR A. ArD CIT Y NE If S. -~-- CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the lest few days there has been a mo derate business in the private market for Foreign and Colonial Produce, and most of the principal staples havo fully maintained the rates current previously to the close of the market for the Christmas holidays. Sugars have been dealt in at full prices, and tea continues at previous rates, but coffee has not been in very active request. Rice, fruits, spices, and saltpetre have each been dealt in to a moderate extent, and there has been rather more activity exhibited in the tallow 'mar ket. The public markets re-open to-day,, having been elosed since Friday, the 23d ult., for the Christmas holidays. The following particulars of the number and tonnage of vessels now on the berth in the port of London, and loading for the Australian colonies, are taken from the usual monthly statement com piled by Mr. Mellor, the manager at the Jerusalem Coffee-house : For Launceston 2 vessels 716 tone. ~ Hobart Town 1 „ 291 „ ~ Sydney and Moreton Bay 11 „ 9,579 „ „ Melbourne and Geelong ~ Adelaide ~ Swan River ..... .. ~ New Zealand Tutal Notice has been given that debentures to the amount of £50,000, on account of the Government of the Cape of Good Hope, are to be issued. The debentures will be for sums of £lOO each, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, pay able in L on d on h a lf yearly. The capital and in terest, together with the capital and interest upon £BO,OOO already raised, constitute a first charge upon the general revenue of the colony. The de bentures will be redeemable by the Government,- and the capital repaid in London on the 31st of January, 1870. A sum of £5,000 has been employed for the ex tinetion of Buenos Ayres Bonds, amounting in all to £24,000. The half-year interest on Buenos Ayres 6 per eents. has been advertised for payment. The Mariquita Mining Company have announced that the question in dispute with the Government of New Grenada has been arranged. The company will pay 5 per cent. on the net profits of the mines, and all law proceedings are stopped. Full rates are still demanded for discount accom modation, and the inquiry continues active owing to the usual arrangements connected with the 4th of the month. The supplies, however, are abun dant, and the mercantile classes experience no diffi culty in providing for their requirements. An average amount of business has been trans. acted to-d ay in the Market for Public Securities, while speculation is extremely dull, and the deal ings o f i nvestors are also very much curtailed ; quo. tations , however, are firmly maintained, Consols havi ng b een 95a4 for the 4th inst., 951 for Feb. A favourabl e tone has b een create d b y an a d vance o f nearly per cent. in the Rentes, but the market previously exhibited symptoms of buoyancy, the general tendency of affairs at home being encourag ing.

(The American papers received to-day report that it was in fact signed on the 4th ult., and that the amonnt to be paid by the United States would be 4,000,000 dols., one-half of which was to be kept back to meet American claims.) The President of the Government of the capital, General Miramon, had in Guadalajara ordered the money remaining intact of the conducta seized by General Marquez to be immediately returned, and that 50 per cent. of the dutses in San Bias should be set aside to re pay the amount that had been spent. Ms troops had obtained possession of Tepic, which would open the road of San Blas to them. For the moment they were masters of all the interior towns from Zacatecas in the north to Ooja iu the south. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and, in some instances, prices have given way.

Instead of Using offended by such a breach of decorum, the lady slily said, as she pocketed the two shining pieces, " Gin ye like, sir, ye may kiss my dochter, too." THE MAarti RACE.—Maori women married to Maori men have seldom more than four children, of which, perhaps, they rear only one or two ; but when a Maori woman marries a European man she generally has a large family. These half. caste children are a find race; the women in particular far surpass their native mothers in appearance, and their beauty, which is remarkably attrac tive, recalls the Andalusian type.—Dr. Thomson's New Zealand. d the ist for in ex- n this glass )e any ndents .e °pi e very Times qi able rehend id why nd the enough reedom imagine ring in s were F could. ulating Irs one ceratEd where se the .ght to where at via tenant r Eng -1 effort. rower of w worse ippened or King ngle in the best L Naples prey of. lice vul ried hint lc where. guilty dihances for poli societies n Naples r a quiet son of a her, and would be of terror )of of the le family blood in stranger. to appeal tples, this is last in s typhoon ly from a n a little ;es.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING The half-yearly meeting of the London Dock Company was held to-day—JOHN CATTLE; Esq., in the chair. The report was very satisfactory as to the increase of shipping and goods warehoused, but the revenue had not improved in proportion. This was accounted for by the great reduction made in the charges with a view to meet the competition.now existing. The directors proposed a divi dend of £1 10s. per cent. fur the half-year, which would leave a balance in favour of the company of £143,609 16s. Bd. Some discussion is now (two o'clock) taking place, on the report, the question of appointing auditors of the accounts occupying the attention of the proprietors. William Jones, 19, was charged with feloniously cutting and wounding a man named Williams, one of the warders of the House of Correction, with intent to murder him. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment. The Recorder—Do you know you are charged with murder ? _ _ _ Prisoner—l know that very well, and I intended to do it. Sentence of death was recorded. Michael Key.; also pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with unlawfully \ oundiug a warder in the Rouse of Correction, named Hughes. The Recorder sentenced him to six years' penal ser vitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TBIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WORTHLESS WrrE.—Johannah Hannah 801 l was charged before Mr. Beadon with creating a disturbance at the house of her husband, Mr. Ebenezer 8011, of Grafton street, Fitzroy-square. The husband, a respectable-looking young man, said the prisoner was his wife, and that she was separated from him in consequence of her dissipated habits. Ou the previous night she came to his house drunk, so drunk, indeed, that she could scarcely speak. He requested her to leave, but she refused to do so, and on his return with a constable she made an attack on him, and he gave her into custody. He allowed her 10s. a week for a maintenance, and paid her rent, as., which he considered a very liberal allowance; but he thought it very hard that that which he allowed her, and which would keep her comfortably, should all be spent in drink. She was always drunk, and had been charged at Bow-street. Mr. Beadon said the allowance was very handsome. The husband said he had set her up in business, had to pay for property she had destroyed, and he thought she was mad. Mr. Beadon said no doubt she was when she had the drink in her. She accepted the alternative her husband made her—a very handsome one-15s. a week, and then went and kicked up a row and annoyed her husband. He should order her to find one security in £lO to keep the peace for three mouths. SHOPLIFTING.—Ann Taylor was charged with shoplift ing at the shop of Mr. Charles Shute, stay-maker, &c , 9, Tottonham-court-road. all all all all all all all all all all hIEN' Paid. 14:o 4i 41 - d 21 21 1 1 d 41 41. d 25 23 - -pi 7 71 2f 21p, 1:1 20 38 39 9 10 P 37 371 55 b 7 Id d 0 7 9 9.1 21 22 tl 22 23 121 1 lai 14i 170 .

She told her it was 145., and the prisoner remarking that it was too dear, left, and as she was doing so she thought she saw the skirt produced .move from the door, where it was hanging ; and on going to the door, a man, pointing to the pri soner, said, " That's the woman." Shs then followed the prisoner, who went into a public-house at the corner of Hanway-street, and taxed her with stealing one of their shirts. The prisoner, after denying it, threw the shirt on the ground, and then made her escape out of the other door, there being one in Hallway-street and another in Tottenham-court-road, but she was stopped by the conduc tor of one of the Highgate omnibuses, and secured till Mr. Shute, the prosecutor, gave her into custody. Mr. Beadon said it was a determined case of shoplifting, and committed her fur four months with hard labour. 0,1 , BOCK COMPANY MEETING. TREATY BETWEEN MEXICO AND MEI FEARFUL COLLISION ON TBE UNITED STATES The treaty between the Juarez Government of Mexico and the United btates has been at length concluded. A great step has thus been made by the Government of the United States. Mexico becomes the highway for Oriental and North American trade. Both the contracting parties will derive political and commercial interest, either present or prospec tive, from the bargain they have struck. In truth, Juarez appears to have catered for himself at least as well as Mr. Buchanan. The United States claimed a right of transit through the 11 4 texican ter ritory; Mexico has conceded this right; and tholgh this show of territorial abnegation on the part ,of Mexico in reality consults the interests of the Juarez party as much as of the Americans, Juarez con trives to demand and obtain the sum of 4,000,000 dollars in exchange. Of this one-half is told off in liquidation of old American claims, while the other half is . paid down by America to Mexico in hai d cash. By the pecuniary part alone of this proceed ing, therefore, Juarez at once fills his pockets with 2,000,000 dollars, and pays off importunate bond holders in a similar sum. But the fact is, that while the treaty is thus one of territorial surrender on the part of Mexico, and thus elicits a pecuniary compensation from the United States, the Juarez Government gains certain political advantages in dependently of the monetary equivalent for the sur render of the right of transit to America. These poli tical advantages arc of two kisds—first, as affecting foreign intervention, which appears to be required for tie final termination of the civil war ; secondly in regard to the position of Mexico as the highway of Atlantic and Pacific trade. In the first place, then, by the terms of this treaty two lines of transit across the Tehuantepec isthmus are marked out for the United States. The one route runs from Rio Grande. to Mazatlan, while the other, at a slight difference of latitude, runs in a parallel direction. Either of these routes, of course, commands the At lantic at one extremity, and the Pacific at the other. Both are equally established as neutral ground— neither exclusively Mexican nor exclusively Ame rican—and are to be protected by both Govern ments alike. Now America, having elicited this privilege from Mexico, obtains also the right of enforcing freedom of passage against all obstacles and by her own military troops. While the Government of the United States has done this it has also provided in distinct terms for the right of transporting not only commerce, " but troops, stores, and munitions of war." In the present distracted state of Mexico we must acknowledge that without such a stipulation the present treaty would never have worked. But the advantage to the Juarez Government of Mexico is that they in reality introduce the United States as their allies against the Miramon party; in any passage of arms in which that, rival party may contest the possession of the south of Mexico. According to recent intelligence, Miramon had found it neces sary to project an attack on the quarters of the Juarez party between Vera Cruz and Tehuantepec, and thus to carry the war southward. All this, it will be seen at a glance, is rendered more difficult if not immediately arrested by the new arrangement. Two parallel lines are now drawn, which Miramon cannot cross without putting, himself to the ban of the Government of the United States. That Go vernment, so far as this double line is concerned, henceforth is practically joint sovereign of the soil with the Vera Cruz Government of Mexico, led by Juarez. If, therefore, Mirarnon's forces cross either line in order to assail Juarez, they lay themselves open to immediate hostilities with the United States. This latter contingency is what of all things the Juarez party would desire, for the civil war would then be terminated in six weeks, and the Juarez Government would probably be left by America uncontested masters of the territory. But supposing, on the other hand, that Miramon does not make this perilous attempt, it seems probable that the Juarez Government will still be fortified in EABTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. A very serious collision, involving injury to a large number of passengers and the loss of con siderable property, took place on Sunday evening near the Tilbury Junction of the Colchester section of the Eastern Counties Railway. The junction is about half a mile on the Ilford side of the Forest gate station, and connects the Tilbury branch with the Colchester line of the Eastern Counties. It is protected by the usual semaphore and disc signals. Since the opening of the Bow and Barking branch the passengers from Tilbury for Bishops gate have to alight at Barking and take a fresh train. This was the case with the train which left Tilbury at 6 30 on Sunday evening and was due at Barking at 7 10. It was rather behind its time, which necessarily made the train for Bishopsgste late in leaving. It proceed( d at its usual rate on to the junction, when a train wilieh proved to be the Norwich and Colchester, sled due in London at 7f50, was heard coming up. The Tilbury train kept on its course round the junc tion, and the foremost carriages had passed On to the main Colchester line when the engine attached to the Norwich train struck in a slanting direction the side of the last of the Tilbury carriages. 'rho t shock is described to have been of a most frightful character. Most providentially there was not a soul in the last carriage. It was literally shivered to atoms. The next carriage, which was full of pas sengers, was thrown off the metals and dragged sideways along the permanent way until it came in contact with a telegraph post, which snapped the coupling, and it turned over on to the embankment. The remainder of the Tilbury train escaped injury. It had acquired considerable speed, but for which it is almost impossible to conjecture the extent of mischief that would have followed. The engine of the Norwich train, after coming into collision with the Tilbury carriage, sprung round and shot across the permanent way over the down line of rails, and partly buried itself in the opposite embank ment, the driver and stoker holding on. The tender got disconnected from the engine, and was thrown across the permanent way, and the break van, which was next to the tender, was thrown off the rails, and was hurled along to the abutment of the bridge, where it was turned up on its end and. crashed in a second-class carriage, which was next to it. The passengers in this train describe the con cussion to have been most severe. Many of them were much bruised and shaken ; indeed, the whole of them, we were informed, were more or less hurt. The crash was heard a mile from the spot, and the scene was alarming. It was a considerable period before the full extent of the mischief could be gleaned. After a brief examination of the wreck and the injured passengers, the guards took im mediate steps to prevent the approach or the up and down trains, and to obtain all the medical aid the neighbourhood could afford. The whole of the passengers alighted, and took up a position on the embankment, the darkness and severity of the night and the wind blowing hard with rain adding much to their discomfort and alarm. It is stated that direct means were taken to communi cate with the officials at the Stratford Station, in order to obtain the speedy removal of the pas sengers from the scene of the accident. The autho rities assert that a special train was despatched to the spot in three-quarters of an hour after being apprised of the collision, but the passengers declared that, after waiting a much longer period than that, and not obtaining any satisfactory information from the guard as to when assistance would be afforded them, a large portion made their way over ploughed fields and hedges on to Stratford, where they got medical relief. Owing to the state of the road the Norwich train could not be sent through. The passengers w ere subsequently transferred to a special train and brought on to town. On inquiring at the Bishopsgate station we were informed that the directors intend to investigate the circumstances attending the accident in the course of the day, when it will be decided as to what steps shall be taken. From what has trans pired it would appear that the accident resulted from some omission on the part of the company's servants. There are signals at the junction, and we understand that the signalman put on the danger signal to stop the Tilbury train coming through the junction, and signalled the Norwich and Colchester to come on. It is but just to remark that the banks of the cutting s precluded the drivers seeing the approach of each other's trains until they had arrived within a few yards of the points. Both trains were travelling at the allowed speed, and the driver of the Tilbury asserts, it is said, that the danger signal was not put on until he was close on to the points, and perceiving his danger, the Nor wich train being close up to him, he put on full speed in the hope of getting his train clear of the junction before the Norwich train came up. The latter, also, seeing the Tilbury train crossing on to the up-line, immediately shut off the steam and applied the breaks, but the next moment or so the collision took place. The company have been applied to for a list of the injured passeng ers, bat it appears as yet no returns have been mae. The usual information of the accident has been forwarded. to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, preparatory to a Government inspector being ap pointed to investigate the matter. its present possessions to the south of the lines of transit, and that it will really; be established as a permanent and stable government, inasmuch as its rival will be unable to attack it. The commercial effect of this treaty will, we trust, be to effect in some degree what Humboldt long ago expected to see accomplished by a mas ter-work of engineering. The bisection of the Isthmus of Panama is a project now pretty well abandoned. But America may thus in a measure hold the keys of two oceans. The visionary North west Passage has now finally been abandoned, though it had been the dream of England since the days of Elizabeth ; and the passage from Boston or New York to the Pacific, by way of Cape Horn, involves :an immense detour. The Southern States of the Union from the fertile bank 3 of the Mississippi may send their produco across the Gulf of Mexico to the harbours of the isthmus of Tehuantepec in a couple of days ; and a land journey of 100 miles will bring them to the coast of the Pacific. From this common centre Ame rican trade will branch out in three directions. To the north it will be contiguous to California and Vancouver's Island ; to the south it will communi cate with Lima and Peru ; and farther to the west, across the Pacific, it will talcs a direct route to Chins, India, Java, and the Eastern Archipelago. Nor can Southern Mexico fail to participate in these advantages, as being the axis, as it were, on which all this commerce must turn.—Daily News. REWARDS FOR SAYING LIFE AT SEA.

Robert Wood and Henry Welsdon were indicted for burglary. From the evidence it appeared that amongst the articles of wearing apparel stolen was a groat coat, in the pocket of which was a pair of gloves. Ton days after the burglary was committed, Wood was apprehended wearing the gloves belonging to the prosecutor. Walsdon's boots cor responded in every particular with the footmarks in the garden underneath the window, by which entrance was gained to the premises, and a chisel was also found in his possession, which fitted the marks on the window-sill. Both parties were known to associate together. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The indictment against Welsdon further charged him with having been previously convicted. Prisoner—Yes ; I plead guilty to both the former con victions. A police sergeant, of the F division, was then called. He said the prisoner's former convictions were for burglary. On the 16th of December he was tried, convicted, and sen tenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Four days after the expiration of that sentence he was found in some enclosed premises, at night, but the magis trate discharged him, thinking that it was likely that the prisoner was unable to obtain a place of shelter. On the 19th of March, 1858, he was again detected in the commis sion of a burglary in the house of an aged gentleman, and in the scuffle which ensued previous to the prisoner's capture, I was cut with a knife. The latter indictment also charged him with cutting and wounding, but the charge was not pressed, as owing to the darkness of the place I could not be positive that the prisoner Welsdon was the party who inflicted the injury on me. He came out of pri son in September, 1859, and since that time there has been no less than five burglaries committed in places in which the prisoner has been previously seen. The chisel found upon him fits all the marks made in each of the two houses. With respect to the other prisoner Wood I know nothing. He was not known at the House of Retention or to the police. The Recorder in passing sentence told Welsdon that he appeared determined to follow out his evil course despite all punishment. The two former punishments seemed to have had no effect ; therefore, on the present occasion, he should sentence him to ton years' penal servitude. With regard to Wood he should not pass so severe a sen tence. He was not known to have been in prison before ; but it had been proved that he had been in the habit of associating with Welsdon, and having selected so dan gerous a companion he must take the consequences. There could not be a doubt but that ho (Wood) had participated in the robbery ; but, under all the circumstances, he should only sentence him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. ASS CULT WITH INTENT, &C. William Postlothwaite, a gentlemanly-looking person, was indicted for grievously assaulting William 'Knight, with intent to do him bodily harm. The. prisoner pleaded nat guilty. Mr. Doyle appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robin son defended. The counsel for the prosecution said in the present case the jury would have in the first place to determine whether the prisoner at the time he inflicted the injuries upon the prosecutor was in a state of mind to be accountable for his actions. The prisoner no doubt on certain subjects laboured under delusions, but in order to become an irresponsible agent it must be shown that at the time the injuries wore inflicted he was incapable ok knowing right from wrong. The prosecutor, Mr. William Knight, was then called. He said—The prisoner, about four years ago, carne to re side with me, but I did not notice anything uncommon in his appearance. Some time afterwards I learned that ho laboured under certain delusions, but they appeared to me of a very harmless description. Some times helused to tell me ho was the Duke of Gloucester, at others ho said he was Oliver Cromwell. He usually wore a large bolt, which he said the Duke of Cambridge gave him, as a proof he was of royal descent. Ile had a great fancy for bright steel weapons. He sonietimes carried a polished steel truncheon, which he called " his authority." On the 15th of last December I was sitting in my kitchen talking and playing with the children, when the prisoner came in, and, without saying a word, stencle-me -violently en-the temple with his steel bar. I fell to the ground, and blood began to flow very copiously from my head. I said, "Oh, Posse, what have you done this fo,f"_when he replied, " I've done it with my authority. Those d— theatricals have been enticing you to enter into a plot against me." My wife very shortly afterwards entered the kitchen, when the prisoner threatened to serve her the same way. I got up, ran to the doctor's, and told the police what had hap pened. I was ultimately taken to Westminster Hospital, of which establishment I have been a patient ever since. Prisoner was always remarkably kind to me, my wife, and all the children. I never apprehended the slightest danger from him. Mr. Robinson said he hardly thought it necessary to make a single observation. The unfortunate gentleman's appearance was quite sufficient. The Recorder—What is that he is displaying before him ? Piltencr (holding up a buff leather gauntlet ornamented with large brass balls), said—" I hold the glove, this glove." Then, carefully turning it over and over, he laid it again in'ont of the dock. Mrs. Knight—l am wife to the prosecutor. I recollect the day when the prisoner struck my husband. After my husband got the wound dressed I went with him to the hos pital. On my return home I found the prisoner sitting in the kitchen. I accused him of murdering my husband, when ho replied, pointing to the blood on the floor, " Make haste, mop up , the blood before the police come." I asked him what could have mad• him act as ho had done, when ho said, " I did it with my authority." I always looked upon him as a very harmless person. He was always exceedingly kind to the children. My husband never quarrelled with him on any occasion. We always .treated him as one of the family, and ho always appeared pleased. He used to say he was the Duke of Gloucester. I never anticipated he would inflict injury upon any nue ; he seemed too kind to do so. The house-surgeon of the Westminster Hospital gave a description of the wound. Spinks, a police-constable, said—When I took the pri soner into custody, I told him he was taken in charge for wounding William Knight. He showed me a bright steel bar, and said it was " his authority," and that he had done it with that. On searching his apartment I found a quan tity of curious bright steel weapons, such as spear heads, half swords, crosses, and truncheons. This was the case for the pros&ution. Mr. Robinson abstained from addressing the jury. A verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity, was returned. The unfortunate gentleman was; then ordered to be de :wined until her Majesty's pleasure should be known• THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

A THIEF BAULKED AND A Tuna , CAUGHT.—James Shardon, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pair of boots, value 7s. 6d., from the shop of Mr. James Thomas, boot and shoe maker, of No. 122, lligh-street, Poplar. The prisoner was detected and captured under the fol lowing curious circumstances : _ Last night Mr. James Jackson, a cheesemonger and provision merchant, was standing at the door of his shop, No. 131, lligh-street, Poplar, when ho saw the prisoner make an attempt to steal a largo piece of bacon on the win dow-board within the shop, but a little thing prevented him, in the shape of a very clear sheet of plate glass, which formed the window. The prisoner struck his hand against the glass, and appeared very much surprised. Mr. Jackson had no doubt the prisoner thought the window was an open one, and that there was no glass at all. The prisoner walked on, soothing the 'pain in his hand with his mouth, and uttoring maledictions on the plate glass, until ho reached the shop of Mr. Thomas, where he pulled down a pair of boots, exposed for sale at the shop door, and walked away with gem. Mr. Jackson im mediately followed,and seized the prisoner, who said, "What do you want with me P" to which Mr. Jackson replied, I want the boots you have stolen. The prisoner said I have no boots, and at the same time dropped a pair close to his feet. Mr. Jackson picked them up and delivered them to his neighbour, who identified them as his property: The prisoner pleaded guilty. _ _ Mr. Yardley said thn prisoner appeared to bo a very expert thief, and sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. The prisoner thanked the magistrate, and as he left the dock said he was glad it was no worse. THE ACCIDENT OY THE MERSEY. Thomas Grue, the boat - man who was removed to the receiving house at the Prince's Dock, made the following statement relative to the above melan choly occurrence :—Thomas Mackay, the owner of the boat, and myself were engaged to attend the Grand Trianon, and we accordingly went over to Birkenhead and saw that vessel out of the dock into the middle of the river opposite Rock Ferry. At about half-past three o'clock, the captain of the sdip and a number of riggers, labourers, and others got into our boat for the purpose of going on shore. There were about 28 or 29 of us alto gether. The wind was blowing fresh from the SW. but the water round the Grand Trianon, when we left her, was not very rough, and we did not con sider it dangerous to go ashore in the boat. We had a foresail up. When about 200 yards from the Coburg Dock Pierhead the sea was very rough, and I had some foreboding that something wrong would take place. To prevent accident the people on board were told by Thomas Mackay to sit steady, but immediately afterwarl ie boat was struck with a very heavy &pro' back sea from the pierhead filled her nd she instantly went down un aped as far as I could from 'und that a lad had hold •der that both of us shot.. ed him off. i The screams o. r for assis- tanco were drea, them, owing to the waves. I heard Wm. 'Wu_ MEXICO. The Mexican intelligence yesterday is that Mr. M'Lane, the American Envoy, had returned from Vera Cruz to Washington, having concluded the long-pending treaty with the Juarez Government. Its terms are the same as those published a few months back. Rights of way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec fro\n the Rio Grande to the Pacific port of Mazatlan, and from Guaymas to Arizona, aro conceded, with the privilege of occupying them by a protective force of American troops, in consi deration for which the United States are to pay £BOO,OOO. One half of this amount is to be applied to the liquidation of "claims." As the American demands on Mexico:for indemnities are very large it will be interesting to learn what claims are included in this proviso, since no party in Mexico can be allowed the right to sell portions of the territory on which the bondholders have a lien without an arrangement in which all are equally to share. Before the treaty can come into operation it must be ratified by the Senate at Washington, and it is there that the real con test with regard to it is likely to arise. Supposing it to be adopted, there can be no doubt that from that moment the independence of Mexico will be at an end, but it is solely with regard to the internal politics of the United States that the question will be discussed. The excitement upon it between the North and the South may be equal to that in the Harper's Ferry case, and there will be an addi tional element of mischief in the dasire of nearly all the aspirants for the President's nomination at the close of the present year to defeat the policy ; of the outgoing Cabinet. The fact that the treaty has been granted by Juarez only at the moment when the triumph of the clerical party over him was almost complete will be used as an adverse argu ment. Still the affair is only one of time, and if it were not that every citizen of the Union is certain that Mexico can be had at any moment, there would be a perfect and eager unanimity that the present opportnnity should not be lost. " The actual aspect of affairs at 'Washington,'" it is observed, " is most unfortunately calculated to provoke very serious anxiety in regard to the fate of this most important convention, for the condition of the Juarez Govern ment demands our instant action ; and who can venture to look for instant action on the Mexican question from a Government absorbed in discussing the ways and means of staving off a dissolution of the American Union itself?" 11115 I)4l'S MARKETS.

THE FIRE IN SHOREDITCM—This fire, probably the most extensive that has occurred at the east end of Lou don for many years, was not entirely extinguished until yes terday morning, and the property destroyed has unfortu nately pn.ved, owing to the time the fire smouldered, flu. greater than was anticipated when our first report was written. Many tons weight of tobacco and foreign cigt trs o together with the costly machinery, have beeneither entit •ely destroyed by the action of the flames or spoilt by the water which dropped from the engines, which as it toll through. the floors was at boiling heat. Great as the loss has be in, it is gratifying to know that the insurance-offices in te rested in the fire will be able to settle the claims ou 10h sooner than was expected, as all the, 'books, document to, , dock warrants, and Excise papers, together with * lag go amount of bank notes and coin, were , ex tricated this mtx , n ing, having been placed in a proof reliance lieu safe.

I was much exhausted, but, nevertheless, had to walk from the George's Picrhead to the receiving-house, owing to the cabdriver refusing to take me because my clothes were wet. Mackay's boat was about 24 feet long and 7 feet beam, strongly built, and I could have trusted her almost in any sea. The boat was picked up and brought to the Prince's Pier. She is a strong boat, and considered one of the best on the river. NAVY Rum.—The contract for rum for the navy has been taken by the undermentioned firms :—Messrs. Lemon Hart and Sons, 40,000 gallons; Messrs. Thomas Lowndes and Co., 20,000 gallons ; Mr. Alfred Lamb, 40,000 gallons.

The money value of the articles distributed is altogether about £6OO. GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—BARMOUTII, Doc. 31.—1 have much pleasure in reporting the additional valuable services yesterday of the Barmouth lifeboat be longing to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. A large ship, the Britannia, of Bath, United States, was seen ashore early yesterday morning, about four miles rom hence wind S.W., blowing very hard. The lifeboat was with some difficulty pulled over:the bay, owing to the strong spring tide against her and the wind ; the sail was set to run to the vessel. Tho sea alongside was awful, so much so that I ex pected to see the boat capsized every moment, or dashed to atoms against the ship's side. The lifeboat behaved far be yond the expectation of everybody. Fourteen persons, in cluling the captain's wife, were taken from the vessel, five num preferred remaining on board, who came on shore the next morning in one of the ship's boats. The lifeboat filled very often, but soon discharged the water. One of the ship's crew had a very narrow escape of being crushed to pieces between the ship and the boat. He fell in trying to get on board the lifeboat, and but for the activity of some of the boat's crew ho must have been killed. It will pro bably be remembered that this valuable lifeboat was instru mental a few weeks ago in saving from destruction another large American ship, the Troy, with her valuable cargo of cotton. IMPROVEMENTS ON TIIE CHURCH OF CRATHIE.— The church of Crathio has lately undergone considerable repairs and improvements. New doors and windows, in the Gothic style, have been made. The inside has been lathed and plastered ; the pulpit and front of the gallery painted. A new vestry has also been built, and means taken for the ventilation and heating of the church—in short, it has been so reformed as to be made a more fit place of worship for Royalty. There is a talk of having the arms of Scotland painted on the panels of the seat in the gallery occupied by her Majesty. The Gordon arms on the Aborgeldie seat remain as before,--Ban.ffshire Journal.
