By order, ANTONIO BRADY, Registrar of CoAtrocto and Public 50114 W% SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &C. Admiralty, 26th July, 1867. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY herAy give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, aro as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (fcr shipwright's candidates only) Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who me,y be selected will be treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per dayfor seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a cert,ificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place ou the 23d September and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX. 2,500 in the chair. The report which the Directors have now to make to ,he proprietors has reference not only to the progress of the Company during the past year, but also to the more important consideration of its financial condition at the close of another quinquennium and of the long term of sixty years from the date of its establishment. As regards the progress of the Company, during the year, it may be sufficient to state that the ordinary receipts and payments have been augmented by those of another small assurance society, the business of which has been transferred to the Eagle in this interval. Thus, the total premiums received here have been £397,533, and the inte rest from investments £123,352; whilst, on the other hand, the claims on decease of lives assured have amounted to £307,046, and the expenses of management to £16,920 — this last sum including £3,909, which will, for the most part, now cease. An exception to this general augmentation is to be found in the case of the premiums on new assurances, which have amounted to £15,401—a less sum than they have reached in foregoing years. Adverting now to the results of the quinquennial inves tigation which has now been in progress for several months, and which has been conducted with all due care and cir cumspection, it appears, from the actuary's statement, that there were in fore() on the 30th June last the following policies, viz.: 16,882 participating, assuring, with additions, £9,306,962, and paying premiums amounting to £274,517 per annum. And 4,096 non-participating, assuring £3,709,743, and paying premiums amounting to £112,319 per annum. The total amount assured in these two classes—viz., £l3,ols,7os —together with some annuities, is found by the minute and laborious processes used in such investiga tions to involve an immediate liability of £6,224,830. The total annual premium receivable —viz., £386,836 — is shown, by the like processes, to be now worth £1,506,168, or nearly 12 years' purchase. The net liability arising under these large items, viz., £1,738,662, is included in the following statement, which hex been verified by the auditors, and which comprises all the realised and unrealised assets of the Company, and also all claims against it, immediate or remote. £3,533 7 6 LIABILITIES.

This last item forms the provision for the present bonus, and the accumulating fund for future bonuses and expenses, and it is recommended accordingly that £208,774 be now appropriated for immediate distribution, leaving £772,740 13s 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet the reduc tions of premium in respect of the policies transferred by the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of which reductions, it may be remembered, is to take place in 1868. The share of the present distribution pertaining to the proprietors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early in October. The portion to be allotted to the policyholders will be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of the addition made in each case despatched to thorn; but this prccess will necessarily occupy considerable time. Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined table, which exhibits them in the inst ance of ass aces twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com mencement of the risk.

The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory, and they trust that the Proprietors will be of the same opinion; looking at the progress which the Company has made during the last twenty years and the position which it has now attained they feel themselves justified in anti cipating that its future career will be a successful one. They will only add, that they hope in a few weoks to be enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the new premises in Pall-mall, and thenceforth to have more suit able accommodation for the carrying on of the Company's business than it has been their good fortune of late years to enjoy.

OXFORD RACES—THURSDAY. This pleasant meeting is one of the most popular with the racing public, and, being very easy of access by rail from London, the metropolitans annually assemble in great force in the classic city. Following immediately in the wake of Wolverhampton and Egham, the gathering on Port Meadow obtained patronage from each, so that there was no lack of bookmakers and backers ; while there was an average attendance of the aristocracy. The general company was decidedly the largest ever seen on this famed racecourse, a fact greatly to be attributed to the convenient excursion and special trains which the Great Western Railway Company ran from London, Reading, and the neighbouring towns. Unfortunately the weather was not so fine as could have been wished, rain falling all the morning; and although there was an improvement soon after the sport commenced, the afternoon was dull, and a tremendous shower which descended just before four o'clock rendered it anything but pleasant for the large. number of ladies who occupied the carriages drawn up opposite the Grand Stand. The only advantage expe rienced was the coolness of the atmospnere, as compared with the glaring heat of the sun on Tuesday and Wednes day. The racing calls for no comment, being so fully detailed in the return appended; but it will be seen that the principal race of the day, the Oxfordshire Stakes, .re solved itself into a match, the added money being reduced from a hundred to fifty soya in consequence. The com petitors were Pepper's Ghost and a colt of Lord Westmor land's by Promised Land—Rupert's dam, and, with odds of sto 4 on him, "the Ghost" won by three-quarters of a length, although at the distance odds of 2 to 1 were laid on the non-favourite, so much the best of the race did Kenyon seem to have. The racing was prolonged by a dead heat, and after being run off rain again came down in torrents ; so heavy, indeed, that umbrellas were but little protec tion. Appended is a return of the running : The Port Meadow Stakes, a haLdicap of 100 sovs, for all ages ; winners extra. Five furlongs. 44 subs.

Taylor's Pepper's Ghost, who held a lead of a least half a dozen lengths until entering the straight run home, where Kenyon brought up the Rupert's dam colt, and below the distance appeared to have so much the best of the race that 2to 1 was offered on him.- Tho Ghost," however, answered gamely to Covey's resolute i iding, and drawing away opposite the Stand, won cleverly by throe parts of a length. The County Members' Plate of 30 sovs, added to a l mai cap Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; winners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 19 subs. Mr. 11.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Indian Star, 11 to 2 each agst Ven turer and the Phemy colt, 6 to 1 agst Gordian Knot, 7 to 1 agst Elegance, 10 to 1 agst Cromwell. Venturer jumped away with a clear lead of Indian Star and Gordian Knot, Elegance and Leading Suit being most prominent of the remainder, and they ran thus for nearly half a mile, when Gordian Knot and Leading Suit dropped away. Cromwell here began to close with the Leader, and heading Elegance and Indian Star at the commence ment of the inclosure, challenged Venturer in the last halt dozen strides, and the issue after a desperate finish was a dead heat. About three lengths in rear of the dead heaters came Elegance, a neck in advance of the Phemy colt and Indian Star; Leading Suit was sixth, Laura seventh, Adam Bede eighth, and Gordian Knot last. Deciding Heat—Betting opened at 6 to 5 on Venturer, but closed at 6 to 4 on Cromwell. Venturer won in a canter by throe lengths.

(Payne) 3 Englishman and Manton also ran.. Betting—Even on Pyrenees, 5 to 2 agst Catton, 100 to 15 each agst Maesderwen and Manton. Catton made play, closely followed by Pyrenees on the right and Maosderwen in the centre, till approaching the distance, where Mann caused some consternation to the backers of the favourite by raising his whip, but Pyrenees immediately deprived Catton of the lead, and increasing her advantage opposite the Stand won very easily by three lengths ; Maesderwen was a bad third, Englishman fourth, and Manton last. The Freeman's Plate of 80 soya, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for all ages ; winners extra. One mile. Mr. E. Brayloy's Killaloe, by Drogheda—Milly, 3 yrs, 6st 61b (Quince) 1 Mr. H.

Tripthong held a slight lead of Killaloe, Hopvine, and Demonstration for nearly half a mile, when Killaloe took up the running, and completely " spread-eagling" the field, won in a canter by eight lengths. The remainder, all placed by the judge, finished in straggling order. The Selling Plate of 50 sovs, for all ages : selling and other allowances. Half a mile. 9 subs.

The winner was bought by Mr. T. Golby for 180 guineas. Capt. Machell claimed The Thorn, and Mr. Stevens Hay market.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.) FERTusuntz.—Tuesday afternoon broke up pretty fa vourably, and a good few of the sportsmen made a short walk over the hills. It was a beautiful evening, and dur ing the night there was the finest moonlight.. Wednesday was oppressively warm on the low lands, but there was a good breeze on the higher districts. It would appear that the blight has been somewhat general. In the Aberfeldy district his Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh used to have nearly 200 brace the first day to his own gun, while on Monday ho had only some 50, being, however, one of the best bags we have heard of. In the Killin district some of the sportsmen seem particularly anxious to conceal the state of their bags, for what reason we do not know. We have, however, ascertained the following details : —At Auchmore, Mr. Graham and party made 57 brace grouse and 9 hares on Monday. On the same day Messrs. Scott, Deans, and Smith shot over Auchlyne, and had about 40 brace. Mr. Barnett and party made nearly 100 brace and 1 hare on Glenlochay. On the Ochil range a good few of the hills have been opened, but, so far as we have heard, there has not been grand shooting. Mr. A. Turner and two friends had 6 brace grouse and 5 hares on Monday, and on Tuesday 61 brace grouse and 2 hares on Glentyre. The disease is still prevalent in that district ; the broods are few, and many of the birds which have been shot aro old birds. In the Crieff district the shooting has not been heavy as yet. Mr.idoncrieff, M.P., and two friends had 12 brace grouse on the Cultoquhey hills on Monday. On the same day Mr C. H. Drummond M ray, of Abercair ney, and Mr. Drummond, jun., hact26 brace grouse on the Abercairney hills. On Glonturrit the shooting is inferior, and it would appear that there.is not a groat show of birds. A number of hills have been opened in the Amulroe dis trict, but, so far as we can learn, the bags were light. CALLANDEIL—The shooting season in this district will pass over very quietly this year—scarcely a shot being heard. The hills belonging to the Willoughby estate, as also those attached to Lony, will, it is said, not be shot over this season. A few sportsmen have, however, been out on the other moors in tho district, and on the whole have met with good sport. On the 12th, Mr. G. F. Mel ville, advocate, Edinburgh, shot over the estate of Mr. Marshall, of Gartchonzie, and bagged 24 brace, and on the 13th 91 brace, besides hares, &c. Mr. William Marshall, of a C n a d l 1 a s n u d e e c r e e C d o e d t ta i n g e b , ri s n h g o i t n g o v d e o r w t h n elsoame brace.estate r o . n yv t a h i e 12th, cefleld of Drummond Lodge, has boon shooting over the Trossach I moors since the 12th with success, and also Mr. Robertson over the Torro moors. DENNY.—The morning of tha 12th dawned auspiciously for the sportsman, and sin ce then highly favourable weather has been enjoyed. Owing to the epidemic among grouse there is a great scarcity of sport, ands large amount of ground has to be covered to s ecure a few birds. Tho best bag on Monday was made by Mr. Robert Todd, Binns, who brought down 20 brace. Mr. Duncan, of GleneArron, secured 11/ ; Mr. M'Farlane, writer, Stirling, 7 on Craig armet ; Mr. M'Laren, Leslie Park, 5 ; and Baillie Laing, Denny, 4. . GLEssitEE.-00 Monday Major Thomas, of Drurnour,nzeand and Mr. Robert Forrest shot 23 brace grouse on Fi fill. BRECHIN DISTRICT.—OnISionday the Earl of Dalhousie, with Major Young, Captain young, and Colonel Duudas, killed 90 brace of grouse at Inver m ark —certai yet n ly a poor contrast with former y ears. No other returns are repoted, but generally the s p ort seems to be very poor. Kinummunt.—We have received the following results of Monday's shootings:—At Balintore, Captain Ly and party shot 27 brace of grouse. At Auldallan, Colonv had 221 brace to two guns. At Pearsie, Captain Guthrie killed 81 brace and 1 hare ; and Mr. David Graham 51 brace. Balloch, Mr. Playfair had 10 brace. 13alnabotte, Mr. W. Malcom 26 brace. Clove, Mr. Stubbs, London, 18 brace of grous.e, 1 ptarmigan, 1 of curlew, 4 hares, n 5 rabbits to one gun. Tulehan, 27 brace of grouse tadn gun in two hours. ABERDEENSIIIRE.—In some instances we have heard that sportsmen returned from the hills on Monday without fir ing a shot, where last yesr the game was most abundant. Not one brace, we believe, was in the Aberdeen market on Tuesday for sale, while last year they were quite plentiful. In some quarters, however, moderate sport was made, a nd we subjoin the state of a few bags : The Marquis of Huntly, Aboyne Castle, shot 431 brace grouse, 8 snipe, and 2 hares. At Glenmuick Mr. J. T. Mackenzie killed 20 brace g rouse, and Master Allan Mackenzie 27 brace grouse, 2 snipe, and 2 hares. The birds extremely wild, r lend F in sca drackrcely a young bird on the ground. Captain Frase of had 11/ brace grouse. Oa Brackla moor Mr. D. Fordyce, 31. P., and party , in six hours, bagged 51/ brace grouse, 2 brace hares, 1 brace plover, and a duck. At Boginclo ugh the Mr. J. P. Smith and friend killed O 33/ brace. Last year fgt Me twc. gentloson Is.illed a n 12th lowly 200 krace. At' Lumphanan Mr. Chalmers bagged 10 brace and a couple of hares. DumritrEs AND GALLOWAY. —Although Dumfriesshire and Galloway have not altogether escaped the mysterious disease that has destroyed to a great extent the grouse in other parts of Scotland, the loss has not b2en great on some moors, and on others there has been no disease. There has been some excellent sport in this district—the birds being numerous and strong. On Mcntlay the Hon. M. C. Maxwell of Terregles and party, in all five guns, bagged 91 brace on Kiuharvey moors. Tuesday morning being wet, the party did not go out; but in the afternoon several gentlemen had good sport on Kirkgunzxm moors. On Monday Mr. Leny of Dalswinton and party, four guns, killed 80 brace on Dalswinton moors, besides some other gatne Ou the same day Mr. W. Kennedy Laurie of Wood hall bagged on Darngarroch Hilt 41 brace of grouse, a golden plover, and a hare. On Monday 10 brace of grouse fell to one gun on Lochar Moss. Mr. J. Sloan and friend killed 12 brace of grouse on Barboth. On Dunesslin, Dun score, two guns killed 111 brace of grouse. Mr. Barbour of Barlay had a capital bag on Balmaclellan moors. S THERL ANDSILIRE. —At Lairg, On the 12th, Mr. Hop wood and the Hon. 11. Coventry killed 68 brace of grouse, and on the 13th 381 brace of grouse. CONTINENTAL VIEW OF THE VISIT OF THE BELGIAN VOLUMEERS TO ENG LAND. From the Dziennik Poznanski of the 2d August, a Polish newspaper, published at Posen : " London, 24th July, 1867. " While the Emperor Napoleon is collecting around him as visitors to the Paris Exhibition crowds of Kings and Sovereigns from all parts -af the earth, as a proof of the fraternity of nations, England has undertaken to give in her own way an example of this fraternity. The English volunteers have invited to London the Belgian riflemen in return for the reception which was given them last year in Belgium. On Thursday, the 11th of July, two large steamers brought to the English capital upwards of 2,500 of these brave Belgians, and on the following day they entered the town. All the streets through which they passed were crowded w ith people, fla g s with the English and Belgian colours were hung out from the windows, the cheers were incessant, and the whole town seemed to hail them as if they were lib er ators or conquerors returning from a long war. " It is now the second week that these guests have been constantly invited to fetes, public games, rifle meetings, dinners, concerts, and balls, given both by pnblic corporations and private indi viduals, from the Royal Family and higher aristo cracy to the lower classes. One of these fetes which had the greatest success was that given by Miss Burdett Coutts in her park and country-house, called 11.)11y Lodge, at Highgate, near London. The extent of this park and the munificence of its pro prietress may be imagined when I tell you that besides the 2,500 Belgians, there were at this fete upwards of 1,000 persons, many of whom belonged to the highest English society. The Royal Family was also represented by the ma jority of its members. The Sultan and the Prince of Wales were expected, but they were so exhausted by the fetes of the previous day that at the last moment they expressed their regret at their inability to take part in this interna tional festival. Perhaps it was as well that they did not come, as their presence did not divert public attention, and the object of the fete 'was thus rendered more strikingly apparent. For it was the particular desire of Miss Coutts, who had herself drawn up the plan of the proceedings, that all na tions should be represented at the fete, not so much by their rulers, as by their distinguished citizens, pre pared to defend to the last t rights and liberties of their respective countriehs.e Anong these the Poles were not onittel ; on the contrary, with her usual sympathy for our country and its cthem ause, they iu several instances ha I reserved for some of the - most prominent places. I will not describe either the magnificence of the park or the liberality of the reception, or the number of the amusements, or the exemplary order which prevailed. I will only allude to three occa sions which produced a stronger impression n o tha others. The fi rst was when Colonel Greg hem ire, marc hi n g at the head o f his riflemen, halted thre, for a moment i n front of the house; Which o n stood ascending the steps leading t 3 the balcony, on l t h e hospitable hostes s, surrounded by the Royal Family, offere d her in the midst of the prolonged c h ee rs of the multit ude, a s p lendid bouquet which had been sent that day from Ghent. On the second Occas i o n Lord Granville delivered an address to th e Belgian guests, in the name of Miss Coutts, i e n w hi c h he described the benefits of freedom, pmosteac, and the frie ndshi p of nations, of which a ill us trious example is given by England an d Belgium. The third occasion occurred when the w hole body of volunt eers, after taking leave of their noble hostess, and marching out of the gates round, in the dir ec tion of London, suddenly turned and returned to the house, once more to express their gratitude by enthusiastic cheers. Instead of d escr ibing all this magnificence, I w ill remind my countrymen who Miss Burdett of Coutts most I we,althy f I only told them that s is one persons in England,—nay, if 1 added that she comes of a fain ous historical family, which has ren dered good service to its country, perhaps I should attract but little attention. Even if I describ ed h o w she has distinguished herself by her boundlesscharity, how she employs her fortune in establishing hospitals, building churches, pro moting art and sc i enc e, and relieving the poor, es ia peclly artisans and labourers, for whom she has filled a whole suburb (Bethna l- g reen) with comfortable houses, dou less this would gain for her the esteem she deserves among us. But when I say that Miss Burdett Coutts comes of a family whose sympathy for u s is a tradition, and which alas always one actively of the sup fi r st of ported o ur cause ; that her fer our defenders, and her cousin the most ardent and strenuous of them ; that she herself never omits an occasion of allevatiug either by word or deed the fate of our exiles, I hope no one will object to my lengthening this letter with some particulars on the subject. Mc. Coutts, the banker, known for his enormous wealth, had three daughters. Of the se one , married to the Marquis of Bate, w as the mother of the late Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, whosa7ieedmosriyr will ever live among U 3. The Se cond n Francis Burdett. I should insult the undying grati tude of Poland were I to venture to remind my countrymen m ay not, perhaps, of the vrvices rendered to our cause by They Lord Dudley Stuart. o f Sir Francis B urdett, reco llect so well the history a man who achieved consi d era ble distinction nning of . the present cen in England at the begi popular a mong his countrymen as tury. lie was as O'Connell was in Ireland, a nd he shook all England with his speeches on the popular question. Not withstanding his wealth and connectionwith the first families he 1.733 imprisoned in the Tower, and was the last political pris iner committed to that fortress. Proud of his ace uaintince with Kosciuszko, and a hearty friend of Prince Adam Czartoryski, h e a l w ays took great interest in our cause. It is to this that we owe the flattering opinions of the Poles which have passed almost into proverbs in England —that s Lying, for instance, that ' the Poles are the first gentlemen of Europe.' It was he who declared in Parliament that the Whigs ought to pay with their heads for the high treason of abandoning Poland. " Once, in 1832, when, during the debates on Poland in the Lower House, one of the members, Sir C. Wetherell, ventured to make a remark in favour of Russia, SirF. Burdettrose and indignantly exclaimed :—' I regret that any one should be found in this House who dares to defend RU3SiA. lie is alone in this House and in the whole world.' And when Sir Charles retorted that he had never de fended the conduct of Russia towards Poland, Sir Francis said, ' I am deeply grateful to the hon. member for this declaration, for I can now truth fully say that ia the whole eiyiliged world there is S PA 7-c E . not a single inqaidual who would dare to say that t ' the Poles were the aggressors.' " I remember, also, when, in one of hit letters addressed to Lord Dailey Stuart; in answer to an appeal on behalf of. the refugees, he says know not what to do or can be done essentially to serve the brave and accomplished Poles. I hare the greatest contempt of, and indignation at Mini sters for their paillaninaont, unstatesmanlike con duct respecting them from first to last. They might have had the glory an! the heartfelt satisfaction. which rarely occurs of an alt at (nee geaerns an I politic, bat s lei; 51y,r713 of then.

Poor ! is it England taecici you with her grief, Who hates, but dares not chide the Imperial thief ? France, with her soul beneath the Bourbon's And Germany, that has no soul at all, States quailing at the giant overgrown, Whom dauntless Poland grapples with alone ! No, ye are rich in fame, e'en whilst ye bleed, We cannot aid you, we are poor indeed! I must acknowledge with sorrow that there now remain but few such ardent friends of our cause in England as Bartlett, Campbell and Dadtey Stuart were 30 years ago, and each loss which diminishes the number of our friends is therefore the m)ra painful to us. We have just had to suffer a loss of this kind in the person of William Scholefteld, M.P. for Birmingham, who died suddenly in London. The news of his death produced great sorrow in Parliament, and Tories, Whigs, and Radicals vied with each other in giving testimony to his important services. H as well as his father, were the oldest members of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, and seconded Lord Dudley Stuart in all his efforts on . our behalf. During nearly 20 years of his Parliamentary career he gave his best support to every motion brought forward in favour of Poland ; and it would be difficult to find so tender a heart combined with such inexhaustible goodness and readiness to do others a service. I have already said that certain English families seem to retain a traditional sympathy for our cause. This is a characteristic of the Stuarts, Harrowbys, Burdetts, Townshends, Attwoods, and others, and now of the family of the Scholofields" THE WEST INDIES. SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. The Royal mail steam ship Atrato, f ro m the West Indies, has arrived here with 136 passengers $2,302,677 in specie, and a cargo consisting chiefly of cochineal, coffee, and cocoa. She left St. Thomas on the Ist inst., having been detained two days for the Californian mail. On the 12th she experienced a heavy northerly gale. Off Scilly she passed four ironclads, one of them the Bellerophon. 'lhe outward mail arrived at St. Thomas on the 31st ultimo, and the steamer California reached Colon on the 15th ultimo. The Atrato brings dates from Valparaiso to the 3d, and Callao to the 14th ultimo. Considerable excitement prevailed in Chili in consequence of reports that the Spanish fleet was on its way for the Pacific, and a declaration of the Minister of War tat the Government would only act on the defensive in case of invasion had created great dissatisfaction. The railway from ya was opened o n the 18th ult. Tongoi to Jam a There was but slight alteration in the Valp ai an ar x d ex m arkets. Copper had slightly advanced, - c hange on Londo n was quo ted at 45d. Considerable excitement also existed in Peru, on account of the expected return of the Spanish fleet. Th e Government was actively engaged making p re parations to oppose the enemy. New batteries were in course of construction at Callao, and Con toe in eecret session had given impertant authority the Government. The 4th of July was celebrated with festivities at Lima and Callao. The Peruvian Government was unable to raise the five million dollars authorised by Congress. the Government has conceded to the United States permission to keep on shore deposits of coal for the use of its fleet. Twenty-seven vessels loaded with guano were at the Chincha Islands in June. Seven shocks of earthquake were experienced at San Salvador on July 30th. The damage was in considerable. In Guatemala a large quantity of coffee and cochineal was waiting shipment. In Costa Rica Congress had been prorogued for thirty days. Throughout the States of Central America tran quillity prevailed. Trade at Demerara co ntinued depressed ; weather favourable for crops. At St. Vincent the crops were nearly reaped ; island healthy. A. heavy storm prevailed at St. Thomas on July 29th ; the houses were closed, and the ships in the harbour kept their steam up for proceeding to sea, if necessary. There was every prospect that the floating dock would shortly be raised. The intelligence from Honduras was more satis factory. There had been no new raids upon Eng lish territory by the Indians ; everything was quiet and all danger was over. The emigration of Ame rican Southerners cantinueL Prospects in the colony were improving. At Jamaica the p ublic health had greatly im proved, but trade continued dull. The value of the prope rt y destroyed by the late fire at St. Kitts was estimated at £200,000. Heays rains had been experienced in Grenada. STATE OF TRADE. BRADFORD, Aug. 15.—The tone of the wool market is again more cheerful this morning. A fair quantity of fine-haired wool has been sold since last week. There is little or no improvement in the demand for lustre wool. Staplers generally report more disposition on the part of buyers to operate in some favourite sorts at previous rates. In some particular classes of wool, which are a shade dearer in the country, au advance is sought, and in some exceptional cases it has been realized. Speaking generally, however, it is impossible to obtain an ad vance in price, and when the stapler insists upon an advance no business is done. There is a slight im provement in the tone of the worsted yarn trade. Rather more business has been done in 30's and Ms lustre, for the Russian market. There is an average business doing on home account. The Germantrade is exceedingly slow and dragging. The businessdono is chiefly for the purpose of assorting. The super 30's trade is very flat. Prices are fully as low as they have been for some time past. There is an improved feeling in the piece trade, though no appreciable change in the demand.. A little more business has been done for America. There is rather more activity for the East. A. few fresh orders have been placed for home and the Continent. Prices arc quite as low as last week, and in some instances even lower. BELFAST, Aug. 13.—Flax. —Rather au increased supply appeared during the past week in the various markets of Ulster; a few lots of new flax were sold at rates varying from lls. to 13s. per stone.
