We believe that this is happily understood by all the more patriotic and Hitherto, bow intelligent of our representatives. ever, the members of the Legislatur e appear to have acted upon a totally different principle --effecting un necessary reductions in some quarters, whilen others i they have been needlessly squandering the nationals. revenues. An unnatural emulation in this course has, moreover, been excited between the members of the Legislature and the members of the Administration. In asserting thus much we would by no means be understood to restrict cur remarks in this particular to any indivi dual Cabinet, the accusation, unfortunately, holding good throu g h a long aeries of Governments. Thou sands d pounds sterling have in this manner been lavished upon objects altogether superfluous in their character, at the very time that a paltry hun dred or so may have been grudged in the furtherance of some enterprise in which the general advan tage was involvzd. The assertion applies equally well to almost every department of the public service, but to none more so than to one which is, perhaps, of all the most important —we mean that of the maritime force of Great Britain. There assuredly, if no; here else, the principle must be recognised in the fulness of its beneficent application—that generous principle already enu nc i ated that true economy i 3 more nearly allied to liber a lit y t h an to And, remember, that speaking of liberality cili2esE! W e speak not so much of th e amount n ; ggar As LA Bitt:YEUE say?, "L a as of the occasion. liberalite consi:Ae 'mine a dormer heaucoup dormer "apropos." And it is precisely because our administrators fiaVe hitherto neither ep. plied "much," n or timed what they have applied " well" to the Royal Navy , that we have co frequently kad cause of complaint against the authorities at the Admiralty. A. however, better spirit is gradually , becoming manifest in tlik as in several other of the departments of th e Adm i nistrat i on. As illustrative of this, we may ref, to th e progress being made in the more general application of the screw to our ves sels of war as a means of propulsion. Severe! years ago, immediately in fact upon the demonstia ion that the screw-propeller was effectual as an instrument of maritime locomotion, we insisted upon the imperative necessity of applying the new contrivance to our ships of war as speedily as possible —aware that by so doing 0:19 maritime force of England would be rendered independent of wind and tide, and freed, moreover, from the necessity of being incumbered by the paddle-boxes required in the old steam-boat sys tem. A deplorable interval elapsed without our being enabled to witness the recognition of the value of the screw in any manner by the official personages at the Admiralty. What steam force was employed in the Royal Navy continued to be employed after the old fashion—through the medium of those floundering paddle-wheels which are capable of being destroyed so very readily by the enemy's marine ordnance, and which, while thus insecurely situated, interfere in the most effectual manner with the completeness of our broadsides. Latterly the folly of this has been gradually becoming more and more apparent to our maritime administrators. Man-o'-war after man-o'-war has been fitted up with the screw during the last twelve or eighteen months, until we really begin to have some prospect of seeing the system at last generally adopted throughout the service. But how is all this being accomplished ? Why, in the majority of in stances the vessels already on the stoc ks have had to be " altered !" Here is the evidence of that false economy to which we have been earnestly and re peatedly making allusion as so pernicious—an eco nomy beginning in mistaken restriction and ending in unnecessary expenditure. Fortunately we are enabled to notify from time to time the multiplied application of the screw to the vessels of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. As the latest evidence of this, we observe that the screw propeller is ordered by the authorities at the Admi ralty to be adopted in three out of the four 120 gun three-deckers now on the stocks in Portsmouth Dock yard. Another order of a like kind has been issued, moreover, in reference to her MAJESTY'S ship Algiers (90 guns), at present building in No. 3 slip dockyard, designed by the Committee of References. This is exactly as it should be, and we announce the improvement thus indicated in our naval administration with the more pleasure, because we remember that it is an improvement we ourselves have so long advocated. An improvement of a different character is manifested elsewhere in the same department — in the circumstance of the prospective comple tion of the noble steam-yard, called the Key ham Steam-yard, at Devonport. Immediately the works there have terminated, which, it is under stood, will be some time during the commencement of the ensuing autumn, it is expected that her MA JESTY will in person witness their inauguration. The event cannot but be looked forward to with especial interest from the extent of the works, together with their peculiar value and magnificence. From these and a variety of other interesting particulars it will bs apparent that some of our more sanguine anticipations in reference to the maritime service of England are already in a fair way of being realised, now that the Board of Admiralty is presided over by a professional chieftain in the person of his Grace the Duke of NORTHUM.• BERLAND. Once more has the deeply-injured Baron DE BODE fully and completely established the validity of his claims on the British Government. The report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords is decisive on the question. If any doubt could have been en tertained on the subject, it must be removed. Tne most captious opponent can no longer raise an objection, or assert that there is any flaw in the title of the claimant, or that he has been guilty of any aches to justify the refusal of a prompt settlement of his just demand. For more than six-and-thirty years that demand has been unceasingly urged, and we regret to say that it has been met by a series of paltry eva sions and pettifogging objections, highly derogatory to the national character, and disgraceful to those by whom such expedients were re sorted to. It is now certain that the Baron DE BODE is equitably, if not legally, the creditor of the British nation, and that the application of the sponge to the public debt, and the withholding of the dividends from , the fundholders, might as well be advocated as any further resistance to the immediate liquidation of the liability. It is no longer a question of convenience or inconvenience; it signifies nothing that the specific fund from which payment should have been made may have been applied to other purposes, or that the French Government were the original debtors. Eng- land deliberately assumed the liability, and not gra tuitously, for an adequate amount was paid into the English Exchequer to satisfy the claim. The honour and integrity of the nation are at stake, and must not be sacrificed on trivial or insufficient grounds. The facts of the case are very simple. On the restoration of the Bourbons certain treaties and conventions were entered into between the French and English Governments, by which the former un dertook to satisfy the claims of British subjects for property, movable or immovable, unduly confiscated by the French authorities; and a mixed Commis sion was appointed to investigate these claims, which it was further provided should be put forward on or before the 20th of February, 1816. CLEMENT, Baron de Bode, duly preferred his claim within the pre scribed period, but before it wa s investi g ated a new convention was entered into , by which, in consi deration of 60,000,000 of francs, paid into the English Treasury, in addition to 70,000,000 franca paid under the former convention, France was discharged from all these claims, which England undertook to satisfy. All then that was required of Baron CLEMENT was that he should prove that he was a British subject, that he was possessed of property, and that that pro perty had been " unduly" confiscated by the French Government. - _ These points were strongly contested, and strict proof was required. It was first denied that the claimant was a British subject; but in answer it was shown that he was born of an English mother, at Lesley Park, in Staffordshire, and baptized at Ut toxeter in the year 1777. lle was, therefore, to all intents and purposes, a natural born subjec t of his Britannic MAJESTY. The objection was therefore at once abandoned. next proof required was, that be was possessed Of; or entitled to, the property confiscated. It was shown on this part of the case that CHARLES, Baron de Bode, the father of CLEMENT, bad duly obtained a grant of the lordship and lands of Jultz, in Lower Alsace, being a G erman ma l e fi e f, and that the in vestiture was made to the father and son jointly. The effect of this was to confer an estate for life on the father, with a vested remainder to the sop, which could not in a n y way be alienated s tstated d that , i n encumbered l79ih the the father. It wa s furthere es tate of the father w as duly e ceded to the son ; and it was shown that Barons CHARLE S and CLEMENT left Alsace and took refuge in Germany in 1793, and that the property was soon after seized and confiscated as Baron Cen • emig ra nts' property, by the revoluti onary authorities. Some difficulty was experien ce d b y mE C l o T ns ia eq b ur ei nn c g e in g forward formal p roo f of the cession in ofthe entire destruction of the p u bli c a rchives, and his muniments of title, by the French and German armies. While, however, he was obtaining the necessary evidence it was for the first belonging to a h time intimated that p roof would be required, that the property was cons i d er ed as away from him on accou Br nt itis of subject, and was taken It has since been re his being a British subject. peatedly decided that no such proof W 29 at all neces sary, and that, under the term 3 of the convention , all that was required was, t h a t the claimant was a British subject and that the prope rty was confiscated on account of emigration. In consequence, however, of this erroneous and absurd decision the inquiry was prematurely closed and the claim rejected. The Baron appealed to the Privy Council, but he was re stricted from bringing forward evidence that had not been before the Commissioners, and the appeal was dis missed on the ground that full proof was not given of the cession. Thus, although the decision was shown to be palpably wrong, advantage was taken of it to injur e th e appe ll an t. It is perf ec tly sickening to follow the course of Pettifogging chicanery by which the claim was re sisted and payment evaded for no less than thirty years since that erroneous judgment. Suffice it to say, that it has been proved beyond the possibility of doubt, and is no w acknowledged, that the cession to Baron CLEME NT Was bond fi ay every dul legal and valid, that his propdee;tyand in u was con fiscated, and that he was a British subject, and presented bis claim in due time ; that the value of that property was on th e I st J anuar y, 1819, 364,266/. sterling, and that, after payment of all claims of duly registered claimants which bad been T 11. E SUN, LONDON, established, a sum of 482,7521. 6 - 4. Bd. remained on hand, a considerable portion whereof was paid into the Bank of England on Government account. Under these circumstances every right-minded man must agree that "it is a case of great hardship and injustice," and that it is incumbent on the repre sentatives of the people, as guardians of the public purse, to remove the stigma from the British name by I compensating the claimant, so far as money can do, for the heartbreaking delays and bitter disappointments which he has so long endured. THE FRENCH REPUBLIO. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and Yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a decree permitting the following persons to return immediately to France : MM. Creton, Duvergier de Hauranne, Chambolle, Thiers, De Recuusat, Jules de Lasteyrie, General Laidet, and Anthony Thouret. Another decree revokes the decree which inter dicted the following gentlemen to reside in France : MM. Michel Renaud, Signard, Joly, Theodore Bac, Belin, Besse, Millotte. A telegraphic dispatch announces the arrival of the French steamer the Charlemagne in the Dardanelles, with the French ambassador on board. The Constitutionnel contradicts the report published by some London papers with respect to a commercial treaty between England and France, and the re duction of the duties on coal and iron entering into France. The Legitimist printseller JEANNE, Passage Choi. seul, was tried on Saturday for exposing in his win dows portraits of HENRI T. of various sizes, with de vices significant of the desire of the nation for the return of their lawful sovereign. He was condemned to fifteen days' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 200 f., with forfeiture of the obnoxious prints. On the subject of the pretended treaty there ap pears the following in the Independence of Brussels of yesterday : " We have received a letter from Vienna from a per son in a position to be well informed, and who contra dicts not only the authenticity of the treaty published by the Chronicle, but the existence of any document of the kind. Doubtless, the letter says, communications have taken place between the Northern Courts on the subject in question, both before and since the 10th of May; but these communications had reference to even tualities which might happen in Europe in consequence of any particular occurrence in France, and never to any interference in the internal affairs of the latter power. The Austrian Government would not under any cir cumstances lend a hand to such an act. The document published by the Chronicle is considered at Vienna as a kind of pilot balloon, to ascertain the intentions of the powers. For this very motive Austria will not give an official contradiction to the publication; the Cabinet o f Vienna contents itself with inspiring the article in the Lloyd's, in which the treaty is declared to be apo cryphal." The Moniteur copies the Lloyd's article. The last section of the Strasburgh railway from Nancy to Strasburgh, inaugurated by the PRESIDENT of the Republic on the 18th of July, will be defini tively opened to the public on the 20th inst. The whole distance from Paris to Strasburgh will then be done in less than twelve hours. M. PROUDHON is making quite a little fortune by his new book, the first edition of which was entirely exhausted on the two first days of sale. It is said that workmen are busy in removing the monument erected to the memory of the unfortunate Duke D'ENGBIEN in the Castle of Vincennes. The funeral ceremony of the late Count D'Oasar took place on Friday at Charnbourcy, near St. Ger main. Amongst the persons assembled to perform the last rights for the deceased were Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, Count Bouffet de Montauban, Count de Latour du Pin, the Marquis du Prat, M. Emile de Girardin, M. Clesinger, the sculptor, M. Charles Laffitte, M. Bixio, M. Alexander Dumas, jun., and Mr. Hughes Ball, and beveral other English gentle men. The Duke de Grammont, brother-in-law of the Count d'Orsay, being confined to his bed by ill ness, Count Alfred de Grammont and the Duke de LE , sparre, nephews of the deceased, were the chief mourners. On leaving the church, the body w as conveyed to a tomb in the form of a pyramid, built under the direction of the Count himself, and in which he had signified his desire that his remains should be placed, near those of a person to whom he was tenderly attached. No funeral oration was pro nounced over the body, but the emotion of the persons present was great, and the sadness of the scene was increased by the appearance of the Duchess de Gram mont, sister of the deceased, kneeling at his tomb, every effort to induce her to abstain from being pre sent having been made in vain. The Bulletin de Paris says—" When the news of he death of Count D'ORSAY was communicated to the PRINCE PRESIDENT, he exclaimed that he had lost his best friend." The same journal informs us that the large model of the statue of NAPOLEON, which Count D'ORSAY was making from the small one exe cuted by MORTIMER, and which was seen at the Lon don Exhibition, was nearly terminated at the time of his death, and that M. CLESINGEIL was formally charged by him to terminate the marble statute of the ex-King JEROME. The obsequies of TONY JOHANNOT also took place on Friday. MM. H. Monnier, E. Isabey, Diaz, Picot, Roqueplan, Perignon, Decais ne , Laridon, Dorval, and other artists, friends of the deceased, were present. The funeral cortege proceeded directly to the cemetery of Montmartre, where M. COQUEREL, jun., e e d the was Protestant clergyman, officiated. The de asborn at Offenbach (H esse Darmstadt), remarkable for hi s sc i en tifi c i n formation, c and was particularly in botany. He was also an excellent musician. He became first known as a painter by a picture which was in the exhibition of 1831, repre senting " A Woman giving a Soldier Drink." But it is above all by his steel engravings that he acquired a European reputation. His illustrations of the works of Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Moliare, Don Quixotte, &c., are universally k nown . He died in very strait ened circumstances. M. OURY, ex-chef de cabinet of the Marquis DE TUEGOT, ex'Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been nominated Consul-General at Amsterdam.

The only point of interest they touch on is that a credit has been opened to the Minister of War, amounting to 8 millions of reals, to be applied to re pair of fortifications.

A letter from Homburg states that General DE LAMORICIERE is expected there before long. He in tends taking up his residence there, and will live with a Belgian, General SMISEN, and old friend of his. The winnings of General HAYNAU at the gaming tables have amounted to 260,000 florins, which, it is said, he intends to give to a charitable institution at Vienna. The Father Redemptionists, a species of Jesuits, have been solemnly reestablished at Eggenburg, in the monastry whence they were expelled by the people in 1848. The POPE'S Nuncio at the Austrian Court presided at the ceremony. The Austrian Go vernment has also authorised another branch of the Redemptionists to settle at Nied, in Upper Austria. The above:Governraent has ordered the expurgation from classical authors of all passages inculcating the love of liberty and hatred of tyrants (!). Excommunications from the Evangelical Church of Germany are now becoming not unfrequent. An other case has occurred at Bernburg, the chief town of the duchy of Anhalt Bernburg. A young man, named HERZOG, having stood up in church during the ceremony of confirmation, whilst the rest of the congregati on i ra dia g r re e g goc a elf t a, iraocea Christian in h knelt, and having refused to partake of the sacrament, has been formally excommunicated. I aftersentence b u r h a death , t l. T ha h t e he sentence t a nv n ic o l el t contractw be es de prived pro nounced by the Evangelical Consistory. A Berlin journal contains the fallowing flattering description of the progress of morality and civilization in that part of her Britannic Majesty's dominions named Heligoland : "Some persons who proceeded recently by the extra I train to ac,igoland had scarcely set toot on the rock s hore (says the Berlin Times) ere they scampered to the l gambling table, passed nearly the whole night, and left the island on the morrow with empty pce.kets. It is known that there is not a single horse on the island, and only two cower—one black and one white. An English man came there recently with a horse, which for the greater part of the Heligolandera was to rare and won derful a beast that be was led round as a show. This novelty created so great a nensation that all the children were allowed a holiday, that they might have an oppor tunity of instructing themselves in this phenomenon of natural history." The semi-official Prussian Journal of the 4th con tains an announcement of considerable interest to all Germans resident in the United States. According to this a postal treaty is on the eve of being concluded between Prussia and the Washington Government, whereby single 'letters from and to any part of the United States and the German postal union will henceforth be forwarded at the reduced charge of 30 cents., or 12/ silver groschen. This is a further proof of the indefatigable exertions made by the Post master. General Baro❑ VON SCHMUCKERT to facilitate international communications, and to place Prussia in this respect at the head of continental progress and civilization. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1852. HOLLAND. The great enterprise of draining the Lake of Haar lem was completed in the course of the last month (July) ; and there now remains, of what was for merly a sea, only sorneflaques of water, which the engineers are preparing to abstract. The New Rotterdam Gazette announces extensive promotions in the army of Holland. Lieutenant adjutants will be replaced by captain-adjutants of battalions, and the rank of captain-adjutant-majors will be suppressed. This measure will render the nomination of 36 captains necessary, and will involve an increase of expense of 6,000 florins. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received the Zuid Afrikaan of the 31st May, bringing news from_ the Cape two days later than that brought by the Bosphorus. The intelli gence, however, is not important. The following are the only items of interest in the paper we have received : The accounts by Sunday's post state that another murder has been pareetratAl by the rebel Hottentots upon two herds, in Manley's Flat, ten miles south of Graham's Town. These men (a Fingoe and a Hot tentot) were out in the field with the cattle, when they were attacked and shot by the rebels, who carried off the cattle. An attack had been made on Waterkloof, by Col. Buller, on the 17th instant, at a place called the Horse-shoe, where the lamented Colonel Fordyce was killed. The Kafirs fought bravely. The Colonel destroyed a number of huts, and the enemy gave way before the troops; but the instant the retreat was sounded they re-appeared in thousands, and commenced a desperate attack on the rear guard, only repelled by the good working of artillery, which Colonel Buller had brought with him. One of the rifles was severely, and two others slightly, wounded. MARLBRO'-STREET-(T HIS DAY.) EXCISE CONVICTION.—Ann Bateman, the proprietress of a low lodging-house, in Maidenhead-court, was placed' at the bar before 'Mr. Bingham, charged with selling exciseable liquors without a licence. Police constable, 35 C, deposed that about half•past twelve on Saturdhy night, he received instructions from Inspector Black to watch the defendant's house, No. 1, Maidenhead -court. He went there and watched till two o'cicbk on Sunday morning, and in that time saw thirty or forty persons go in and out. Witne.s then went in and called fora glass of gin, with which defendant sup plied him. He asked what was to pay, and was told twopenee-halfpegny, which he paid and left the place. Godfrey, 5 C, said in consequence of holding a war rant from the Commissioners of Excise, he went into the house and apprehended the defendant. In a beck room he found eight or nine men sitting round a table. Defendant was very violent and tried to keep him back from searching the premises. Inspector Black, C division, produced his warrant, which be had from the Board of Excise, and said he searched the defendant's premises, and under a bed in the yard he found a stone bottle containing about a gallon of gin, and a glass bottle containing about a pint, all of which he stivd. John Raining, supervisor of Excise for the West minst-.r district, proved that the defendant was not licensed to sell exciseable liquors. The defendant who protested her innocence, was fined 251., and in default. was committed for three months. MELANCHOLY WRECK of an EMIGRANT SHIP—T WILNTY LIVES LOST. Letters havo arrived announcing the melancholy loss of an English emigrant ship, the Trusty, of Scarborough, having on board nearly two hundred emigrants, off the shores of Cape Gaspe, while on a passage to Quebec. The vessel, which was commanded by Mr. b'oster, sighted the land near the Cape on the 22d of July, when her course was shaped to the northward, On the fol lowing morning a dense fog came on, preventing the crew observing any distance beyond a cable's length or so of the vessel; 'and, although orders were given to keep the ship well off the land, she eventually struck on a reef of rocks within a short distance of the Cape, where she speedily filled and settled down. Against the command of the master, one of the boats was low ered and cut away from the vessel. It contained in all, it is supposed, about twenty persons. An attempt was made to gain the shore, but so great was the surf, that the boat was capsized by it be fore it bad reached many yards from the wreck, and the whole of the helpless creatures perished. Among them were the undermentioned persons:—Thomas Blake, Daniel Saunderson, John Dickenson, William Brown, David Hodgson, John Atkinson, Thomas Shaw, Wm. and Thomas Stolliegs, Thomas Winteringham, Stephen Bullock, Martha Tayler, Wright Bankea, Robert Yates, Frank Francis, and Thomas Burton. For eight hours the position of those on the wreck was ono of great peril; the sea was sweeping over her decks, and it was expected every moment she would go to pieces. Soon after day had broken a schooner bore down to the spot, and, with the aid of the crews of two other vessels that came up, the whole that were clinging to the wreck were taken off in safety. Their luggage, however, was lost, for in a few days the vessel broke up, and was a total wreck. The emigrants have since been forwarded to Quebec. DESTRUCTION OF TWO MILLS. Yeeerdamorning one of the most extensive fires that has occurred near London for a considerable time past broke out shortly before four o'clocok, in the pre mises of Mr. Edward Bell, known as the Tottenham mills, situate on an island surrounded by the river Lee, near the Tottenham station of the Eastern Counties Railway. The building in which the disaster originated w as the r te iv rm er ed iaeeb l- and leo feet long. It stood on the 'south side of the was fitted up The lower portion of this property with most costly machinery for press- i oil-crushing mill; it was between 130 feet jug the various seeds used in the manufacture of oils, a dj o ining which were the oil stores, where several hundred tons' weight of oil were deposited, and the upper story was used as the seed stores, in which a vast amount of seeds were piled away. This immense stack of buildings was separated from a still larger one, termed the flour mill and corn stores, by .a space of ground not more than eighteen feet wide; whilst sundry C,ther buildings—such as the malting-house, barn:, offices, and priva te dwellings—stool within a few yards of the two mills before alluded to. From the fact of the different structures f :ling deteched, it was at first anti cipated that one mill only, and that in which the fire began, would have been destroyed; but unfortunately such was not the case, and even as late as seven o'clock last evening the fire was far from being extinguished, and many thousand pounds' worth of property by that hour had been reduced to ash es . The premises an consumed may be thus enumerated : The oil mill d stores ot oil, seeds, &c., totally de stroyed; the flour mill burnt down, and its contents all but consumed; the co unting-houses and offices gutted; one part of some of the private dwellings destroyed; the old malt-house burnt -out. The stabling, engine, and some outbuildings are fortunately saved. Mr. B e ll was Partially insured in the Norwich Union, Imperial, and Scottish Union fire-offices. The build ings belonged to the New River Company, and it is un known w hether they are insured or not. About fifty families will be thrown out of employment by this melancholy disaster.

HER MAJESTY'S CRUISE. —The Royal intention of putting to sea, on a trip to Antwerp, was abandoned on Saturday, owing to very f ou l weather, half a gal e h av i ng been blowing the whole o f the day. Yesterday (Sunday) the weather was rather worse than better, a strong wind being accompanied by squalls of rain. The attendant squa dron remained in Cowes Roads, and would move up in two divisions (as before) off Osborne, last evening, if the weather moderated, in order that the Queen might m a k e the earliest start this morning, if the elements were fa vourable. FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—lnformation has been re ceived at Bristol of a frightful accident which occurred on Friday afternoon at Llonyattocb, Monmouthshire, by which, we regret to say, several lives have been sacrificed. It ap pears that in the vicinity of this village are several larg3 limeßtone quarries, on which a great number of men are em ployed. On Friday, from some hitherto unexplained cause, the side of one of these quarries gave way, about 60,000 tons were detached, and two unfortunate men, if not several more, are known to be buried beneath the fallen mass. The whole of the labourers engaged at the several quarries, as soon as this fearful accident was made known, at once hastened to the spot with a view of extricating the bodies of the po or men from the superincumbent mass; but such is the im mense quantity of rock fallen that it is expected some days will elapse before thav can be reached.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1.000 American and 800 Egyptian were taken on speculation. The market closed steadily, at previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 1,600 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d.; and 300 Surat, at 31d. to 41. d. per lb.—Railway Shares were de pre.zsed at lower rates. Wheat in Mark-lane has risen 2s. to 3s. per quarter to-day: The American advises by the steamer Asia are satisfactory in reference to trade. There was a larger supply of bills on the market at the pre vious rates, and less specie was being shipped. The total from New York this year to the 24th ult. was 14,895,000 dollars. Last year to the same date about 24,000,000 dollars bad been exported. An estimate is made that the cod and mackerel fisheries employed 138,000 tons of United States shipping last year, nearly es much as in the whale fishery, and within the last two years the increase has been very quiet, Notwithstanding this large tonnage, and the extent of the annual catch, the United States import largely from the British North American colonies. In 1851 the valu3 is stated to have been 781,470 dollars, and this is adduced as a proof that the fishermen of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are not deprived of their markets. In reality, however, it is no proof, for they would probably sell five or ten times as much if their neighbours did not encroach. The San Francisco news is good. The markets were improving, and prices generally on the increase. In the month of June 5.343,000 dollars had been exported, being the largest amount ever shipped in one month since the gold fields were discovered. The city of So nars has been destroyed by fire, and the loss would be most severe. _ _ _ At Amsterdam, on the 7th instant, Dutch Stock was rather feebler, but closed better, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 638.
