MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet, but steady. Sales 5,000 bales. There was rather a large quantity offering, but prices were without alter ation. In Shares only a limited business was done. but the market was firm. It is now some time since the affairs of the United States Batik were brought under notice here, although the unfortunate parties who held shares must retain a lively recollection of their losses. The creditors of the State Governments have a prospect of obtaining even tually part, if not entire satisfaction of their claims, but those of the bank have been far worse situated. From the information brought by this week's mail it appears that the committee appointed at the last meeting made a report, which was read and adopted, with resolutions relative to the speedy close of the several trusts, to make a report at as early a day as practicable, of the amount of claims entitled to be paid out of the trust estate, and that with that object the trustees under the deeds of September 4th and 6th, 1841, and the directors of the bank, be requested to unite in conexion with the com mittee hereafter named, in taking measures for the speedy adjustment of the claims of Messrs. Denison and Co., of London ; Rothschild Freres, of Paris; and Hope and Co. of Amsterdam, the expenses to be paid out of the trust funds; to the employment of a competent person to examine the account of the several trustees ; to ascertain and report what property has been sold, and the circumstances attending such sales, and, if necessary, to employ counsel about the matter, who should also repre sent the interest of the stockholders before the auditors appointed to audit their accounts in court, &c. ; and that the directors, and the several trustees be requested to furnish all necessary information on the subject, and that the trustees, under the deeds of September 4th and 6th, 1841, be requested to pay out of the trust funds all the necessary expenses attending the same. The meeting adjourned, to meet on the 11th of December next. The commercial accounts received to-day are of no importance, but, although trade was everywhere dull, the political " settlement " at Paris, as it is termed by some, is expected to act as a lever in gradually restoring confidence. The position of the English Stock Market continues very favourable. No intelligence seems to have suffi cient weight, permanently, to keep down prices, and the speculators, relying mainly upon the abundance of money, are nearly all in favour of a rise. Consols have been marked 83i to 83k; the New Three-and- Quarter per Cents. 54a to 4, and the Three per Cent. Annuities 84* to +. Exchequer bills are 38s. to 41s. premium. Bank Stock is about 190 to 191. The Foreign Securities have been at about 11i to 12 for Spanish Five per Cents., 22,1 to for the Three per Cents., 16 to for Mexican, and 43 to for Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. Four per Cent.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) JENKINS V. BRIANT. The further arguments in this part-heard cause occu pied his Honour the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAIII.) Several of the cases which stood on his Honour's paper to-day were postponed, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Wood, who was summoned last night to Ramsgate by the electric telegraph, in consequence of the sudden and alarming illness of his mother, the relict of the late Alderman Sir Matthew Wood. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to-day EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY). (Before the CHIEF BARON, and a Special Jury.) BOOSEY V. PUBDAY. This action, which occupied the Court some time yes terday, was brought to recover nominal damages from the defendant, for publishing certain airs contained in Bellini's celebrated opera of La Sonnambula, of which the plaintiff claimed to be possessed of the copyright in this country. The action was also brought for the in fringement of a duet that had been selected from the opera, and accompanied with appropriate words. The main facts of the case were these—the opera of La Sonnambula was the production of Bellini, a foreigner, and in the month of February, 1831, was assigned by him to the managers of the Carlanos Theatre, at Milan, and also to a foreigner named Gro vanni Ricordi. In June, 1831, Ricordi assigned his interest in the copyright, so far as regarded this coun try, over to Mr. Boosey, the present plaintiff, who is a music publisher in Holles-street; and Mr. Boosey, in May, 1844, had the copyright entered in his name at Stationers' Hall, in accordance with the statute of the sth and 6th Vic., c. 45. Subsequently the defendant published and sold copies of the airs in question, which the plaintiff alleged was an infringement of his copy right. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for the defendant, con tended that as the assignment was made in 1831, the case was not to be governed by the entry which was made at Stationers' Hall. The statutes which governed the case were those of Anne and George 111., which had received the construction of the Court in Chappel v. Purday. In delivering judgment in that case, the Court expressed an opinion that those Acts were passed for the encouragement of native authors, and laid it down distinctly that they only applied to the works of native authors. He, therefore, contended that no foreigners could possess the copyright in this country, and not having the copyright was unable to assign it over to another. The LEARNED JUDGE said if the jury found the facts to be as stated by the witnesses, and they were not dis puted, he was of opinion that the plaintiff was not the proprietor of the work within the meaning of the statute, and that there was no subsisting copyright in this country, the work having been published in all parts of the world as the production of Bellini, before the entry at Stationers' Hall. _ _ A verdict was ultimately taken by consent of the parties of " Not Guilty " as to the infringement of the opera, and " Guilty " as to the infringement of the duet. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. (THIS DAY.) The Metropolitan Sanitary Commission held a Court of Sewers this morning; Lord Morpeth in the chair. Mr. BYNG, in reference to an erroneous statement which had gone abroad as to the expense of the Com mission, stated that such a reduction had been made in the working staff of the Commission as to produce a saving to the public of between 5,000/. and 6,0001. per annum. _ _ The report of the Survey Committee represented the ordnance survey of London to be going on in a most satisfactory manner. There were two surveys going on, one of the surface and the other of the subterranean sewers. In answer to a question from Mr. LESLIE, Sir HENRY DE LA HECHE stated that the plotted sheets of the Wustminliter district might be delivered within three weeks. He had made inquiry at the Ord nance-office, and ascertained that the 19,0001. to be ex pended on the portion of the survey at present in hand included every expense. It did not, however, include the cost of the subterranean surrey. A lengthened discussion then arose as to the expe diency of proceeding with the subterranean survey be fore the Court was i❑ possession of an estimate of the cost. Ultimately it was resolved that the reports contain ing these recommendations should be referred to the consideration of the general purposes committee, and authority was given to the Ordnance Surrey Committee to order the expenditure of the sums immediately re quisite for the purposes of the subterranean survey. Some other routine business was gone through, and the court adjourned for a fortnight. COLLEGE or PRECEPTORS.—The seventh general half-yearly meeting of the College of Preceptors, which is situate in Bloomsbury-square, and instituted for the purpose of placing the scholastic profession in its proper position with the other liberal callings, was held to-day at the Freemason's Tavern; 11. S. Turrell, Esq., of Brighton, president of the council, in the chair. The repast, after alluding to the steady progress of the in stitution, and the object for which it was founded, stated that tests had been fixed upon to ascertain the fitness of those who wish to become schoolmasters, for the duties they were about to undertake. Boards of examiners' had been appointed, and four examinations had already taken place, and diplomas hail been granted to numerous candidates. A charter of incorporation had for some time been in preparation, and the draft for it was now under the consideration of the Government authorities. The report further stated that the subject of female education had occupied the anxious considera tion of the council. After a brief but excellent speech from the chairman, an elaborate address to the recipients of the diplomas, by Mr. Eccleston, M.A., of Sutton Colefield Grammar School, diplomas were awarded to the several gentleme❑ who had been successful by Dr. Wilson. The revised rules were adopted, and the meet ing, which was well attended, broke up. FIRE AT BOW-COMMON.—Yesterday afternoon, shortly before five o'clock, a fire, attended with very serious, if not fatal, consequences, broke out upon the premises belonging to Messrs. Denton and Jutson, the extensive oil merchants and varnish manufacturers, situate on Bow-common, Bromley. The flames originated in the following manner :—One of the work men, in attempting to extinguish the fire under one of the stills, poured what he imagined to be a bucket of water into the grate, instead of which it proved to be a pail of spirit, and the instant the same came in contact with the furnace an immense body of flame shot forth, which completely enveloped the workman, and, rushing out of the door of the still-house, fired upwards of 20 casks of oil standing in the open yard. Owing to the exertions of the workmen and others, the fire was sub dued, the damage being confined to the destruction of a ' portion of the,still-house and an adjoining shed, with 20 casks of oil. The workman who was the innocent cause of the disaster was so severely burned about the body that he was obliged to be carried to his home. Messrs. Denton and Jutson were uninsured. EXTENSIVE ROBBERlES.—lnformation has been given to the police with the following description of a man who, on Friday last, stole 1501. in gold and bank notes from the counting-house of Messrs. 'Whitbread and Co., the brewers in Chiswell-street. He is a waiter at taverns and tea gardens, is 45 years of age, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, of dark complexion, with black whiskers, is round shouldered, and stoops a little in walking.

STATE OF TRADE.---MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.— To day there was but little business transacted on 'Change. The alarming accounts from Paris, since Friday last, have thrown a general gloom over all our commercial prospects. No improvement c an be not e d in any department. The foreign trade is almost at u stand, so far as the continent of Europe i s concerne d. The news from America as to the ratification of the peace with Mexico h as given satisfaction, and there is no doubt but before lo n g the Mexican trade will be much improved. At this time of the year it is not expect e d that the home trade will be very brisk, but on the whole last week's prices have been fully sustained. THE DISTURBANCES AT NORWICII.---One of the constables whe was severely wounded by stones thrown at them while they were escorting some refractory paupers through the streets of Norwich last week, died of his wounds on Friday last, and others of the police force have been disqualified for duty, but are slowly recovering.

Considerable improvements and advances towards its completion have been made during the past three months, b o th inter nally and externally, the p rincipal spire intended to be erected over the chief entrance, being the only requisite requirement to complete the building, and render it one of the most picturesque and ornamental in the metro polis. It is understood that the aisle of this cathedral church is larger than that of 'Westminster Abbey, and the whole of the interior is of a very superb and im pressive character, and in the most perfect taste, reflect ing great credit on all the parties concerned. We believe that the completion of the arrangements for the opening of this vast building is greatly indebted to the generobity of an eminent English nobleman, notorious from his munificence in such matters, and that be has been generously seconded by others of the nobility and gentry professing the Roman Catholic faith. Is need scarcely be stated that this is the most commanding and pretentious building which has been erected in this country for the service of the Roman Catholic Church in the present age. The attendance of the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy from all parts of the U n it e d King dom and the co n ti nen t, at t h e celebrat ion of its openimg on Tuesday next, is expected to be unprecedented on any previous occasion of this nature, and the whole proceed ing will be enriched with an extraord wary degree of in terest and importance. Last night the Lady Mayoress threw open the magnificent salons of the Mansion House to a numerous and select circle. The company commenced arriving shortly after ten o'clock, and numbered nearly 700 70 None but those who have partaken of the hospitality of the excellent Chief Magistrate and her Ladyship can fully appreciate the splendour and good taste displayed in their receptions. The music conducted by Mr. Henry Barnard and his efficient band of twenty-five performers, Iwas excellent. At half-past twelve o'clock, a most recherche su.pper was served up. The festivities were continued till an an early hour in the morning. SUICIDE OF A LADY. A case of suicide, under circumstances of a peculiarly painful nature (and connected with which rumour speaks of facts still more distressing), took place at Bideford on the afternoon of Wednesday last. The unhappy victim of her own rashness is Mrs. Mary Madeline Bourmaster Douglas, aged 39, wife of Major Douglas, of the Royal Infantry, daughter of the :late I General Sir William Dixon, and sister of Capt. Dixon, of the Caledonia flag-ship, Plymouth. She had been married to Major Douglas about twenty-one years; and the fruit of their union was ten children, seven of whom survive their ill-fated parent. The deceased had been in India with her gallant hus band almost ever since their marriage, and only returned therefrom to her native shores about twelve months ago (on the ground of ill-health). Major Douglas (hastened home unexpectedly, it is said, by painful intelligence which reached him abroad), landed at Southampton some three weeks since, and posted immediately to Exeter, where he met the deceased, with whom he re paired to this place, and engaged a suite of apartments in the 114;h-street, where they were lodging when the fatal event occurred. Nothing particular happened, at all connected with the sad catastrophe, until Thursday se'nnight, when the de ceased lady called at the shop of Mr. Joce, druggist, and asked for a poison to destroy cats, mentioning prussic acid. Mr. Joce had not a supply in stock, but sent out to another druggist, from whom he procured an ounce bottle, with which he furnished her, at the same time in forming her, in answer to her question, that it might be mixed in milk. On this bottle (a small green one, with a glass stopper) there was the usual printed label as it came from the manufacturer--" Hydrocyanic acid : Scheele's strength. Should be kept 'a welt-closed bottle and in a cold place." On the following Monday she called at Mr. Jove's, stating that she had accidentally dropped the bottle and spilled its contents, and asking to be supplied with a second quantity. Mr. Joce again sent out, and obtained a similar bottle; which he sold the de ceased. This bottle was labelled as the other. The deceased had appeared as usual up to the after noon of Wednesday, although the person with whom she lodged deposed that she was frequently much dejected, and that her manner often suggested to her doubts of her perfect sanity. The family had all dined together (Major and Mrs. Douglas and three of their children), and deceased seemed in good spirits, and talked with her husband with apparent pleasure of their proposed em barkation for India in October. Soon after dinner, at nearly five o'clock, deceased rose from the tabl e suddenly, and went up stairs to her dress ing-room, and after the lapse of about half a minute came hurriedly down, and rushed into the drawing-room, where she immediately fell senseless on the floor. Major . Douglas ca ll ed for assistance, and the domestics were instantly in attendance, and raised the unfortunate lady to the sofa. Messengers were dispatched for a sur geon, and within five minutes Mr. T. Mackenzie Smith (who chanced to be at home when the servant came) was on the spot, and found life not quite extinct, but death occurred within a minute of his arrival. The Major showed the surgeon a bottle which he had taken from the deceased's dressing-table, and on lookin at it he im mediately pronoun ce d t h at i t h ad contained prussic acid. It was almost emptied, although its cont ents were suffi cient to have destroyed, not merely one, but twenty lives. Mr. Smith applied th e s t omac h- pump, and the fluid dis lodged from the stomach sufficiently indicated the caus e of death, the peculi a r o d our o f t h at deadly mixture be ing strongly betrayed. On going to the dressing-room, Mr. Smith found o n the platform of the looking-glass upon the dressing -table a pair of scissors, and the stopper and covering belong ing to the bottle, so that there could be no doubt that the infatuated lady precipitated herself from her husband's presence, and instantly repaired to the fatal dose.— Devonshire Chronicle. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. ELECTION OF CHILDREN. A general court of this institution was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the reports of the board of manage ment and the auditors, and electing fifteen children into the schools; John Masterman, Esq., M.P., the president of the society, occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN having formally announced the object of the meeting, Mr. Ness, the secretary, read the quarterly report, from which it appeared that, taking into consideration the depressed . condition of trade, very gratifying progress had been made by the society. The funds had been in creased during the quarter by the addition of new dona tions and annual subscriptions to the amount of 1,000/., and the educational progress of the children, and general goodness of their health, were referred to as being highly satisfactory. The report also contained an earnest ap peal to the commercial body to come forward with that energy of character for which they are distinguished to support an institution so peculiarly their own, and one which appeals to the best sympathies of human nature. The subject of the building fund was also urged strongly upon the attention of the meeting. It was stated that a comparatively small sum had as yet been contributed, not much over 6004, and an earnest exhortation was ad dressed to the stewards for the year, and the great body of subscribers, to use their utmost exertions for the ac complishment of an object so desirable as the possession of a building which should be the property of the society and at the same time an evidence of the taste and liberality of the commercial body. At twelve o'clock the election commenced, and at three o'clock the poll closed, for the result of which we refer our readers to our advertising columns. The fifteen children elected on this occasion complete the number of fifty now enjoying the advantages of this ex cellent charity, and we cannot but congratulate the society upon its having been able to accomplish so much within the brief period of a year from the opening of the schools. At the conclusion of the proceedings a vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the chairman, and the meeting separated. LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Monday last the twenty-sixth anniversary of this important social body was celebrated at the White Conduit Tavern, Islington, when above 400 members partook of a dinner, served up in Mr. Rouse's excellent style. P. P. Watson (No. Jo) presided as chairman, as did P. P. Shiers as deputy, and were supported by several distinguished past and present officers. After having done ample justice to the good things provided for them by the liberality of the stewards, and the c l ot h withdrawn, the usual loy a l t oasts were given and responded to by the company. The Chair man, in a neat speech, gave " Prosperity to the Order of Loyal United Friends." This was received with great applause. Several other appropriate toasts were given, and several songs sung, until about nine o'clock, when a ball took place, which was graced by a large number of ladies, and the evening's entertainments kept up until a late hour, whey toe party broke up, evidently much gratified with the day's proceedings. TOTAL LOSS OF THE GIPSEY STEAMER.—ESCAPE OF TIIE‘ CREW. —The particulars concerning the com plete loss of this unfortunate steamer, on a voyage from the Thames to Bahia, in South America, have just been received at Lloyd's, from which it appears that the cap tain, Mr. Lock, and the crew fortunately escaped, after exerting every effort to save the vessel. She was manned by a crew of ten in number, and on the 15th instant left London for her destination in South America. In her progress down channel she encountered a fearful gale from the S.S.E. and laboured heavily. At length it was found that she had sprung a leak, and the fuel getting rather low, and it being hoped that the wea Cher would moderate, sho was run into Falmouth on the 18th instant. On the day following she renewed the voyage, and on the 22d, when about 70 or SO miles west of the Scilly Isles, more tempestuous weather was experienced. Her leakage considerably increased, and it appearing very evident that she could not be kept afloat by the pumps, it was resolved to run her for the nearest port. This, however, was a work of no easy accomplishment. The crew continued to work the pumps with great vigour, in the hope of getting her into port. In this, however, they failed. On the fol lowing day, the 23d, a pilot boat, named the Active, belonging to St. Mary's, Scilly, fell in with the disabled steamer, and the crew of the latter, finding not the least chance remained of saving her, set to work to rescue what stores they could from her, and having suc ceeded in the attempt, they then abandoned her, and took shelter on board the Active. Wishing, however, to know the fate of their vessel, they cruized about her for three or four hours, when she gradually went down in deep water. The pilot boat then made for St. Mary's, and landed the captain and crew. The loss of the steamer is considerable, but she is understood to have been insured to some extent. TUB SCOTTISH HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday at one a quarterly court of the governors and supporters of the Scottish Hospital was held at the office of the corpora tion, Craneecourt, Fleet -street, to receive the report of the affairs for the quarter, ending June last, and " to consider the propriety of erecting an asylum, in connec tion with the Hospital, for the reception of a certain number or the whole of the pensioners to re side therein." The Duke of Argyle, the president, in the chair. Major Adair, the secretary, read the report, which showed that the sum paid in charity amounted to 1,5051. 15s. Bd., and . that after dedu c ti ng a ll necessary expenses, the balance in hand was 299/. 14s. There was received at the festival 2621. 10s. 2d. The report having been received anti adopted, Dr. G. Webster, in reference to the notice of motion, said that ho had spoken to se veral of his friends, who fully agreed with him as to the necessity and importance of the proposition. They had a fund in hand of 40,000/, part of which might be ap propriated to the erection of a suitable building where their sged pensioners might reside.—(Hear, hear.) A greed advantage would be derived in a sanitary, religious, and moral point of view, as they would have rooms which would be more convenient and better ventilated than those they now occupy, while their clergy and me dical officers would be in a better position to afford their services. —(Hear, hear.) He moved that a committee be appointed to take the subject into consideration. Mr. John Matheson, M.P., seconded the resolution. The Duke of Argyle observed that it was of importance a committee should be appointed. It appeared to him that it was desirable to carry out the plan to some ex tent, as a large number of pensioners would have better accommodation than they now have, and would be able to enjoy greater comfort.—(Hear, hear.) The amount of the expenses ought to be limited, and he thought it would not be necessary to erect an ornamental building. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. Donaldson, Mr. J. Stewart, &c., addressed the Court, when it was resolved that a com mittee should be appointed for the purpose in question. The Duke of Argyle, Lord J. Stuart, Mr. James Ma theson, M.P., The Chisholm, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, Captain Lamont, &c., were on the committee. Thanks were voted to his Grace, and the Court separated. SLIGo ELECTION.—Mr. James Heatley, of London, and Mr. John Ball, a son of Judge Ball, are candidates for the vacant seat in Sligo. IRELAND. DUBLIN. JUNX 27.—The Freeman's Journal, the organ of " the League," is filled with new adhesions, including that of the Right Rev. Dr. Feeny, th e Catholic Bishop of Killian, who says—" As to the terms proposed for a re-union, I have considered them attentively, and, as far as they go, I can find no fault with them. As a minister of religion lam decidedly hostile to the adop tion or use of any means for the repeal of the legisla tive union save those which are peaceable, legal, and con stitutional; and I do not find in the proposed terms any principle militating against such doctrine. For I take it that moral force consists in the union of all Irishmen and the concentration of public opinion in favour of a re peal of the legislative union. My great respect and vene ration for the cherished name and memory of O'Connell, would induce me to preserve from dissolution the Associa tion which is the work of his hands. But under exist ing circumstances, I think, if O'Connell lived, such was his anxiety for union amongst all classes of Repealers, that he would make any sacrifice, save that of principle, to effectuate so desirable an end." The provincial journith received this day are entirely destitute of any intelligence of interest. THE LIMERICK RAILWAY.—The first trial trip of the railway to Limerick will take place on Saturday, under the auspices of the Lord-Lieutenant, who has ac cepted the invitation of the directors to be present at the opening. THE LATE MR. STEELE.—The remains of the late " Head Pacificator " will probably reach Dublin this evening. Conciliation Hall is now being prepared for the reception of the remains—the galleries are hung with deep black drapery—the windows are shaded with sable blinds, and the door-ways and entrances are draped with folds of sable material. A magnificent catafalque, somewhat similar in design to that prepared for the remains of the Liberator in Marlborough -street Church, has been prepared. It was in course of erec tion last night; it is richly draped with black crape, in termingled with white satin fringes and tassels. The catafalque is approached by a flight of steps, and bears at each corner the shield and crest of the deceased. An argand lamp depends from the interior, and candelabra of similar construction are appended to each pillar. The lamps in the hall are muffled with black crape, and a heavy screen of black drapery surrounds the body of the hall. The arrangements have been got up in the truest taste by Mr. Crooke, of Sackville-street, who also had the arrangements of O'Connell's obsequies confided to him. Everything has been done to show fitting honour to the dust of Thomas Steele, the friend of O'Connell. STATE OF THE COUNTRY...-.The following appears is the Packet of this evening:— THE ARMY OF THE LEAGITE.—CASHEL, JUNE 26, 1848.—A contingent of the army of the League made its first demonstration here yesterday evening, when upwards of four hundred men, calling themselves the King Cormae Club, but really the Cashel regiment, mustered in Ladieswell-street, and after being marshalled by their President, i. e., Colonel, Mr. Michael Doheny, into four companies, commanded repectively,by Messrs. Coman, Power, Upton, and Oltyan, as captains, were told off from right to left, formed tour deep, and marched out with all the honours of war, drums beating, &c., to their exercise ground on the race-field, about half a mile from the town, where they performed some of the primary military manoeuvres with tolerable steadiness. They returned into town by a different road, passing the barrack gate and through the entire length of the main street. When the regiment approached the hotel where Mr. Sergeant Howley, our county judge, is lodging, the band, in compliment to that functionary, or perhaps, in derision, changed the sir they had been playing to that of " Garry Owen." They finally reached the parade, and. after a short complimentary address from their commander who pithily told them that the time for speech mak i ng was past and gone, that arming for action was now required, they were dismissed with orders to assemble again on Thursday evening, the 29th inst. T-- Bed ford, Captai n Th ornhill, commander, from Trinidad in the arrival of the Duke of Bed twenty- six days, we learn that heavy rains had set in, and great fears were entertained that the remainder of the sugar crop (about one-third) would not be got in. An important trial, involving the legal responsibility of principals and agents, was decided in the Supreme Civil Court at Trinidad, on the 25th of May, on an action brought by the Colonial Bank there, to recover against Daniel Cave, Esq., of Bristol, on three bills of exchange, amounting to 8,400!, drawn by Mr. Cave's agent in the culony on himself, and negotiated by the Colonial Bank . being an advance made against produce to be consigned to Mr. Cave. The trial occupied two days, and was argued at great length by Mr. F. Warner, counsel fur the plaintiffs, and by the Attorney-General for the de.. fendant. The jury gave a verdict in favour of the Colo nial Bank, with damages and all costs. INTREPID CONDUCT OF A YOUNG LiDT.-011 the afternoon of Saturday, the 24th, two young ladies were walking along the beach at the back of the Isle of Wight, near Black Gang Chine. It was blowing hard at the time, and the sea running very high, when a violent squall gave such a sudden impetus to the rising tide that they were overtaken by the waves, which, in their reflux, dragged in the younger female, and in a minute she was floating in deep water, at least twenty yards from dry land. The first impulse of her friend to rush in to her rescue was checked by her self-possession, which told her that to obey that impulse was certain death. to both ; she, therefore, with heroic calmness awaited the returning wave. Twice she saw the body sink beneath the surface. As it rose the second time She watched it borne on the crest of a tremendous sea to wards the shore. Seizing the second of time that in tervenes between the bursting of the surge and its tearful recoil, she advanced up to her waist in the water, elutched hold of her exhausted and nearly insensible friend, and dragged her up the beach. There was really so little time to spare that both were again submerged. Another desperate effort placed her out of the imme diate reach of the waves, but she had, clinging to hunches of grass and rushes, to climb with her burden up a steep bank of slippery green sand, the appearance of which almost belies the possibility of such an ascent, before they were in safety. Only those who know the treacherous nature of the sea on this coast, and the iv resistible draught of its receding waves, can appreciate the mercy vouchsafed to her who was saved, and the courage and presence of mind which were the instru ments of her salvation. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a more hazardous and skiltul exploit than saving a life by jumping into deep water. But a few days since the papers recorded the deaths of two young females on a far less dangerous part of the coast, under similar circumstances; and three or four years ago a stout young man, nearly on the same spot, was drawn in by the sea, and drowned before the faces of his comrades. MONEY•i,TARIET.-By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 k per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. iqd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11 k ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.11, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The exchange at New York on London is quoted by the last arrivals at 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.93 per cent. in favour of England; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28.—The Pe ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Canton, Captain Jamieson, which sailed for Hong-Kong on Sunday, has put back, having lost her jibboom, and sustained some other damage, in running foul of the ship John Woodhall, from Lima, to London, off the Eddystone yesterday (Tuesday) mornieg, at three A.m., the weather being hazy and wind blowing strong. The John Woodhall has lost her bowsprit and figure-head, and has gone into Cowes to repair. A seaman named Field, belonging to the Canton, was lost overboard in endeavouring to get on board the John Woodhall, The trifling repairs required to be done to the Canton will detain her till Saturday only, when she will again take her departure for China, via the Cape of Good Hope. A BRIDAL Kiss.—At a marriage which was so lemnized, at Christ Church, Bristol, a few days since, the officiating clergyman closed the ceremony by raising the veil of the bride, impressing a kiss on her forehead, and then blessing her from the altar, This, which we are told is a revival of an old custom in the church, ex cited some commotion among the numerous persons in the body of the sacred edifice, and has since formed a preva lent source of gossip. For ourselves we can see no harm in the practice, provided that it be fairly dealt out to all candidates for matrimonial union—young and old, grave and gay, fair and ugly; otherwise it would smack too much of worldiness to be endurable.—Mercurti. HER MAJESTY'S CORONATION.—Yesterday being the tenth anniversary of her Majesty's Coronation, the day was observed with the usual demonstrations of lop. alty throughout the metropolis, the morning was ushered in by " merrie peals" from the bells of the various churches, the Royal Standard was hoisted at the Tower, Somerset House, St. Martin's in the Fields, St. Marga ret's, Westminster, St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington, and St. Luke's, Chelsea, the various vessels and steamers in the River also displayed their colours mast high, many of the vessels displaying flags of almost every nation, giving to them a very gay and animated appearance. At one o'clock a grand jeu-de-joie was fired from St. James's Park, the Tower, the Royal Arsenal at Wool wich, and Tilbury Fort. There were not, however, any illuminations in the evening. NEW LINE OP RAlLWAY.—Captain li tead n , es th: General Manager of the Yorkshire and Lancashire Railway, has been engaged inspecting h communication recently opened in connexion with the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line. On Tuesday last he paid a visit to Doncaster, and expressed himself highly satisfied with the result of traffic since the open ing of the line ; indeed, there can be no doubt that the opening of so small a section of the Great Northern to Reedholme, thus forming a connecting link with the manufacturing districts, has created a traffic which did not exist before. As an instance we may mention that whilst the traffic to Swinton has not been materially di minished, the number of persons conveyed by the omni. bus to Stockbridge has been almost equal to those con veyed to Swinton. The very superior accommodation provided for second or third class passengers will no doubt induce many parties to take trips of pleasure (luring the summer months ; but when the line is opened through to Doncaster, which it is confidently expected will be in August next, a permanent and increased traffic will no doubt be the result. We ought to state that Captain Binstead, while in Doncaster, expressed the readiness of the company to consult the requirements of the town of Doncaster, and will be happy at all times to receive any suggestion, and, where practicable, to act upon it, to promote the convenience of the inhabitants. —Doncaster Chronicle. Cape of Good Hope papers to the 20th of April have been received, but they are destitute of interest.
