GREAT NEWCASTLE FIRE !-MILNERS' " HOLM' AST" and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES, with Ma ilers' New Patent Gunpowder Proof Locks. The strongest, bst, and cheapest safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, e or violence. The late fearful explosion and wide-spread devastating Fire at Gateshead and Newcastle destroyed property of the value of one million, converting a large area of warehouses (filled wills sulphur, nitrate of soda, peat charcoal, and other highly combustible.stor es), whole stacks of offices, houses, &c., into a perfect volcano of fierce, concentrated, incinerating, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which not only combustihlo things, but even brim, stones, and iron were burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary Pilo, 011-doored strong rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and destroyed. But amongst the many instances of preservation, Thomas Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testimonial:— " Newcastle-up '.n-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854. " Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our efilces were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire which, on the 6th inst., reduced a great many buildings in Newcastle upon-Tyne and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Holdfast' Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex posed for about nine to ten hours to an immense heat, and dug out of the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they can be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it our duty to state these facts, and will thank you to make us new safes to specification.—We are, gentlemen, yours truly, " A. LEIDEMANN AND CO. " Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no mat• er of sue. rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of aratification on Mr. ',""ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res sect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circu'ar.

LONDON MUTUAL LIES AND GUARAN- TEE SOCIETY, A numerous meeting of shareholders of this society was held on Monday, at the offices of the society, 63, Moorgate-Street • Mr. Wilson, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the suc cess which bad attended the efforts of the board of direc tors, the medical staff, and in fact those of every depart. ment connected with the society. Tlio present occasion must be one of great and peculiar interest to them, be cause on that day the directors had to declare to the proprietors the bonus which had been appropriated to those insurers who had paid five annual premiums to the society. The SECRETARY then read the advertisement conven ing the meeting, and the fifth annual report of the di rectors, as follows : DIRECTORS' REPORT., The directors meet the membersjisf the London Mutitia Life and Guarantee Society on this, their fifth anniver sary, with more than usual pleasure, because the period has arrived when the result of their exertions is to be placed before you, and that result they anticipate will give satisfaction and pleasure to every member. In the course of last year we have issued 384 new po licies, assuring the sum of 89,4031. is. Bd., and yielding an annual income of 2,7791. 18s. 2d. The following is a comparative statement of business done since the commencement of the society : Policies. Sum Assured. Annual Income. 1850 ... 862 £144,851 £4,781 13 10 1851 ... 619 1852 ... 55i 1853 ... 602 1854 ... 381 To 31st Dec. 3,020 £541,5,14:j £17,320 15 9 The business done during the past year has been less than in the year preceding. This, however, is easily to be accounted for. The rise in the price of provisions, the double income tax, the check to trade, and other results of the sudden and unexpected calamity of war, have affected the business of all Life Assurance Offices in a peculiar degree. There are, however, two circumstances in our case afford ing cause for congratulation--the one is, that we had begun a system of economy and curtailment in the expenses of management by which a saving has been effected more than equal to the decrease which has taken place in our busi ness • and the other, that the number of proposals hasbeen nearly equal in number and amount to those of former years, but many of the lives having been reported as of a second or third-class character, the directors judged it necessary, in order to your security, in many cases to de cline those proposals altogether, and in others to accept them only on such an increase of premium, as while not more than adequate to the extra risk, has had the effect of preventing the parties from completing their policies. If the directors have erred it has been on the side of caution, both in accepting business and incurring expense. They have been very fearful lest in a season of depression like the present they should, merely to procure business and make a good appearance, incur risks which might possibly turn out to she future injury of the society. The claims on policies during the year have amounted to 3,4201. 18s.; these were all promptly paid in full to the entire satisfaction of every claimant. Of this sum 2,7201. 18s. was paid in the year 1854, and 7031. in 1855. The trust deeds directs that on the 3.tst Dec., 1854, and thenceforth every third year, an investigation into the so ciety's affairs shall be instituted, in order to ascertain whe ther any profit has been made, and if there has, then to ap propriate it in the way directed by the trust deed. The directors being anxious to obtain an impartial and thorough investigation of the state of the society, as shown in the elaborate report of their secretary, engaged the ser vices of two eminent consulting actuaries to undertake the duty of examining the details and conclusions of that state ment, and their opinions are embodied in the following reports : " TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON MUTUAL LIFE presence o • these eminent professional gentlemen, in order that they might state the result of the examination they had upon their own rninds, in addition to that in the able report• which had just been read; and with the permission of the meeting he would call upon Mr. Neison in address them upon the subject. Mr. flux (a proprietor) objected, on the point of order, that in all such cases the adoption of the report should be moved before any statement was made or dis cussion arose upon it. The CHAIRMAN explained that he had adopted that course in the interest of the meeting itself, inasmuch as he wished, before moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, that they should have the advantage of nfull explanation of the basis upon which the valua tion-rested from impartial and competent persons. - • This view of the subject having been sustained by l the whole of the meeting, with the exception of Mr. flux, Mr. NEISON proceeded, at some length, to explain the result of his examination upon his own mind. It had fully sati , fied him that the soeiety,was in a most prosper ous condition. In fact; it was-not possible to subject the affairs of the society to a more severe test than bad been done by Mr. Laundy. It would have been easy for him, with the example of many flourishing societies, to have adopted a very different basis of calculation, by which the balance available for : valuation would hare been largely inere used, without subjecting himself or the society to any imputation of exaggeration. But he thought that Mr. Laundy had taken a better course. In the first place, he - had assumed an interest of 31. per cent, upon the capital, whereas he might have assumed 31 or 4 per cent. In the latter, he would have presented their affairs as several thousand pounds better on the credit side than be had done; and many other offices and high commercial houses. would have been inclined to take the other assumption as a perfectly safe one. He thought, however, the basis assumed was pre ferable, because, though at present they might be able, when their capital was comparatively small, to obtain s e per, cent. ; yet, in future: yeam wleanit would be certain to largely increase, they would find it difficult to obtain more than 3 or 4 per cent. ; and a larger portion of it would be in the hands of agents, without interest being receivable upon it, although, for the purposes of calculation, the actuary should include it the moment it was due. It was not only pos sible, but highly probable, that a larger interest would be realised ; but he thought Mr. Laundy had acted pru dently in estimating the lowest sum. (Hear.) Again, he thOght that Mr. Laundy had done right in assuming that the rate of mortality, in . future, would be that of the whole community ; because, though at present they might be assuring a select or a superior class of lives, he believed that the tendency of assurance was to carry all companies in that direction, when the tables of mortality for the whole community must be the basis of calcula tion. There was another point of serious importance. The society had a revenue of 12,0001. a year, or there abouts, at present, a sum which left them a margin of some 15 or 20 per cent. over what was necessary to cover all current liabilities. In future years that margin would become of great importance as the revenue of the so ciety increased. He might state that the Law Life Office had, in the seven years preceding the last, saved upwards of 700,0001. from this source, and in the seven years just ended between 700 , 0001 . and 800,0001. more had been saved, which was a gigantic sum, over all expenses. (Hear.) He bad carefully in vestigated the whole affairs of the society, and he bad no hesitation in expressing his fullest confidence in the principles which had been assumed, and in the perfect safety of the present dividend and valuation. The busi ness had been most economically conducted. But upon that point he must say that it was a question whether a more liberal expenditure would not give greater returns to the society. If they spent, for instance, 2,500/. a year in getting 2,5001. worth of new business, and an in crewed expenditure of 2,5001. more, or 5,0001. in all, would bring them in new business to the amount of 6,0001., it was clear that they would gain 1,0001. a year. The policy of the directors had been to reduce expendi ture, and that year it did not exceed 1,3001. ; but other offices which pursued the opposite course had found that it increased their revenue in a much greater rate, and he would leave the suggestion to the consideration of the directors and the meeting. After some further state ments of a similar nature, Mr. Neison concluded by ex pressing his own perfect confidence that the state of the society would have fully warranted the declaration of a much larger bonus, while ho commended the prudence of the course adopted. Mr. J. JONES, in a short speech, said the subject had been treated in so exhaustive a manner by Mr. Neison, that there was nothing left for him to add, save that he fully endorsed every statement that had been made as to the safety and prudence of the valuation. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the report, and congratulated the members upon the statements they had just heard. At the same time he was bound to say that the directors believed they were fully justified in keeping down what was in their own power, namely, the expenditure of the society, as much as they could, consist ently with efficiency. Last year they had been enabled to reduce it 250/. by paying off the temporary loan, for which they had ample means, and they did not see the propriety of paying 5 per cent. for a loan, while their own bankers had gradually reduced interest from 4 to 2?; per cent. With respect to their financial position, they stood that day with the assets mentioned in the balance-sheet of 28,0001., with only a claim of 221. 103. against them, of which 211. was unclaimed original capital. (Hear.) If they proceeded in the same ratio the valuation and bonus in 1857 must be much larger, but it was danger ous to prophecy on these mattes. Since the commence ment they had paid off 22 damns with a sum of 4,7201., and, he need not say, with hop much advantage to the widow and fatherless. The reversionary bonuses de claredthat day amounted to -`2.! 2 per cent. upon the net premiums, and the bonuses on reduction of premium to the m 27 per cent. Upon such a gratifying proof o f p ro g ress it was not necessary for him to erlarge. The societ y had overcome its early difficulties, it was now establi shed on a secure and satisfactory basis, and he theref ore had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the rep ort. The Rev. Mr. LEWIS expressed the very g reat satisfac tion he bad in seconding the motion, not only 01 1 account of the interest he felt in life assurance ge benefit it conferred upon the community, r t y , f f r r o o r exceedingly frank, candid, and satisfactory explanations which had been tendered as to the co ndition and pro spects of •he society. Mr. Hex then asked a number of que stions relative to the accounts, and to matters of detail , with the view of showing that the expenditure was too la r g e in proportion to the business transacted. This gave rise to a lengthened The CHAIRMAN said the books, in which all the items referred to were entered, could be broaght into the room, and read seriatim, if the meeting wished it. This proposal was, however, met with a negative, to which there was but one dissentient. Mr. Huse then moved an amendment to the effect that three members should be appointed a committee to exa mine all books, papers, and records, and that the adop tion of the report should be postponed until the 3d of August, to receive the report of that committee. The amendment fell to the ground for want of a seconder, and the original resolution was then agreed to, with one dissentient. The Rev. W. LEASE moved, and J. COOK, jun., Esq., seconded—" The members present tender to the direc tors their hearty thanks for their judiefous management of the society's affairs, and offer to them their congratu lations on the very prosperous positiselveon of and i the nvite the society at the same time they pledge them s, absent members to join them in such pledge, that they will use their efforts to extend the business of the office, by inducing their friends and connexions to take out policies of assurance." The Rev. W. KIRKIIS moved, and T. B. GODDARD, Eeq., of Cheltenham, seconded —"That J. S. Margetson, ' Esq., T. Chambers, Eq., M.P.; and Joseph Davis, Esq., being the retiring directors, under the deed of settlement, and the board recommending those gentlemen for re election, that they be re-elected a ccordingly." J. S. Margetson, Esq., T. Chambers, Esq., M.P., and . Joseph Davis, Esq., the retiring directors, were then re-elected ; as were the auditors, Messrs. E. Fox and H. Brett. The CHAIRMAN said that he could not allow the vote to pass without saying that the directors were under very deep obligations to those gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN proposed a vote of thanks to the trus tees, whose services were performed gratuitously, and in a manner that entitled them to the grateful acknowledg ments of the proprietors. Carried unanimously. Mr. Davis moved a vote if thanks to the secretary, whose onerous duties were lerformed in a manner that could not fail to give genera satisfaction. He was a gentleman of great ability, serseverance, and industry ; and lie (Mr. Davis) felt that the society wns deeply in debted to him for his very valuable services. (Hear.) The motion also included th( medical officers and solici tors to the society. The CHAIRMAN begged tosecond the motion ; and he did so because no one knew lo well as himself how much they were indebted to those iffice rs.

" Gentlemen,—l have carefully examined the valuation made by Mr. Lauudy of the assets and liabilities of your society, and I am of opinion that the results may bo safely and fully reli •d upon. In the calculations he has pru dently assumed a low rate of interest-3 per cent. being the rate adopted—and the table of mortality employed by ' him that of the Registrar-General, may be considered to fairly represent the risks to which the society will bo sub ject. He has also in the calcsalation of the contingent assets valued the net premiums only, so that the surplus now shown does not anticipate or entrench upon any por tion of the future premiums and profits. It appears to me that all the elements of the valuation have been treated in the severest manner, so that the results cannot in any way be regarded as giving an undue value to the resources of the society, nor as understating its liabilities. Had the value of the gross premiums entered into the estimates, the surplus now shown would have been increased about 25,0001. lam fully satisfied that every precaution has been taken in the valuation to protect the interests of the assured, and to give an exact and faithful representation of the true position of the society ; I have, therefore, no hesitation in recommending the society to declare the ho. nus as determined by the results of Mr. Laundy's calcula. tions. I Lave the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedieni servant, " FRANCIS G. P. NEISON. " Medical Life Office, 25, Pall-mall, June 30, 1855." "TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON MUTUAL AND GUARANTEE SOCIETY. " National Mercantile Life Assurance Office, June 22, 1855. " Gentlemen —I have carefully tested the various calcu lations involved in the valuation of the assets and liabili ties of the London Mutual Life and Guarantee Society. "The data used by your actuary, Mr. Laundy, is Mr. Farr's English Life Table No. 2, and interest assumed as yielding three per cent. only. I have not objected to the employment of Mr. Farr's table, because it is based upon the mortality of the population at large, which yields a less amount of surplus than would have been shown had the Carlisle rate or the combined experience of offices' rate of mortality been used ; and the office is, therefore, de riving more than ordinary protection by the prudent course adopted. "The surplus, as shown by the valuation for the reason stated, can, in my opinion, be safely appropriated in ac cordance with the terms of your deed of settlement ; but it is important not to appropriate more than yuu will be able to continue at future divisions of profit. " I would add, in conclusion, that, by a continuance of judicious economy, combined with 'care in the selection of lives, and by means of the ample funds which you have new in hand, and which will be continually augmenting, you will not only be able to meet the claims as they arise, but you will eventually take rank amongst the established and best-conducted offices of the day. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ' 6 JENKIN JONES." The following examples will show the amount of bonus to be appropriated to various classes of the assured : Example of Bonuses declared at the First Division of Profits to Dec. 31, 1854. ¢ 14 1001 10 1000 L 5 1 000 ij 1000 i 6 1000 )1 1000 ,c, tOOO [F, 1000 ,o ti.'oo i 5 1000 il 100 O ~~~w _ ~~ cl , L : 81g 1 C s. d.l 140 0 0 160 10 0 174 15 0 109 0 0 259 0 0 434 0 0 119 15 10 137 5 10 153 15 9 188 17 6 223 J 9 2 292 1 8 £ s. d 48 3 5 50 16 10 50 18 5 5 t 65 15 10 74 9 2 41 4 4 43 9 2 46 5 9 50 1 8 55 3 4 65 1 8 £ s. d.l 23 G 8 2i 15 0 29 2 6 i 3 3 4 43 3 4 55 13 4 2'3 19 2 17 9 2 31 15 0 37 7 6 14 15 10 58 8 5 These results will, it is hoped, be highly satis' the meeting. ' The directors, however, cannot close this report without reminding the members that the future prosperity of the so ciety, and the amount of future profits, must greatly de pend upon the members themselves. The directors have succeeded in establishing an excellent system of agency, whi;,h they feel confident will turn out efficient, and pro duce valuable results, but still the unpaid and earnest agen cy of the members themselves, if it can only be secured. will far exceed all other means of obtaining business. If every member can be made to feel that to introduce one, two, three, or more of his circle of friends to become assured at the London Mutual, is to aid in consolidating his own interests by building up the society, whilst it, at the same time, benefits hisfriends by inducing them to pro vide for, their families, the present bonus, ample as it is, is small compared with what may be expected at the next division. Messrs. Margetson, Chambers, and Davis go out of office as directors by rotation, but are eligible, and offer them selves, and your directors earnestly recommend them for re-election. The society has safely passed through the perils of in fancy, and is now placed in a state of permanent security. The funds provided to meet all claims upon it are far more than adequate to the purpose. Every month those funds will be augmented, and the directors refer to the'testi mony of the consulting actuaries as fully justifying the expectation that by a patient continuance in the same h they energy he a v o e n hithertoth the part pursued, aided by, course of caution anifdpeocsosniholmT increasedwhich they have hitherto pursued, aided by, if possible, increa e of the directors, members, and agents, this society will speedily be raised to a vety high position among the life assurance offices of the empire. The financial statement from 31st December, 1853, to 31st December, 1854, was then s u b m itt e d. The general balance-sheet showed a large amount to the credit of the Factory to society. The CHAIRMAN said that they would perceive by the report that the directors, anxious to have the valuation of Mr. Laundy fully and carefully scrutinised, had sub mitted it to two of the most eminent consulting actuaries inthe profession—Mr. Neison and Mr. Jenkin Jones.

The last flower exhibition of the season took place yesterday at the Botanical Garden's, Regent's-park. Among the visitors were the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the Duke of Cambridge, and vari ous other members of the nobility. The show of flowers was abundant and beautiful, and there was a good col lection of stove and greenhouse plants, Among the orchids were several new and handsome varieties. The fruit tent was abundantly supplied. The grapes and peaches were fine, but strawberries and cherries had evidently suffered from the dry hot weather, and were small. A dwarf cherry tree shown was well laden with fruit, and a cucumber vine, trained in a moderate-sized pot, bearing six large cucumbers, was observed as a no velty. Among the cut flowers were many fine pinks and roses. The following is a list of the prizes which were awarded :—Extra Gold Medal.—Mr. May, gardener to Mr. H.

A FOUNDLING.—On the 15th of last month an infant, about two months old, was left at the gate of the Shore ditch workhouse, at midnight, in a basket, with a note and 2s. 6d. The following is a copy of the note :—" Sir, I am sorry to say that necessity drives me to this act. I am not cruel to my own child, and so I will prove. My husband is gone to the Crimea, and, please God, when he returns I will take my child again. lam sorry that I must go to service, and I will give 2s. 6d. a week. Please to put the child in the wet-nurse ward, and I will pay 2s. 6d. a week, and if it lies in my power I will pay something more. The child is eight weeks old ; name, George Gates." A second half-crown has since been received, but no clue to the mother has yet been found. The Child died of pOnyullipm pu thp d ult. _._ ____ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.

Camp before Sebastopol, June 22, 1855. It is no use my attempting to tell you what was done or doing on the 18qi. We failed, I fear, altogether, and with great loss. There was a complicated plan of at tack, of the success of which I always had doubts. Had 70,000 men been let loose at the place at an appropriate time and at all points, with no other word of command than go-head at a certain signal, I do believe the place would have been taken with a loss of from 7,000 to 10,000 killed and wounded, and this would have been about the proportionate loss in such a number in any hard-fought engagement. Still the loss in such a mode of attack might have been less than even our loss on the ISth, for the Russians might not have withstood the onset of such a host ; but when they saw driblets of only 400 coming here and there and straight at their strangest points, they natu rally felt confidence in their superiority of numbers and position. During the flag of truce on the 19th, a Rus sian officer, speaking to one of ours of the attack of the Redan, said, "How could you think of attacking such a plaee with 400 men ? Your men are indeed lions, but your officers must be donkeys." Our Second Brigade took a cemetery and a house near the town, which we still bold at a considerable loss in killed and wounded every 24 hours. I cannot hear or form an opinion as to what is to be our next step. Several generals and others are becoming very tired and dis gusted, and are likely to leave. I wish to goodness I could get clear of the business too. CHARGE OF BOLDING A DEAD BODY. —On Wednesday, at the Bucks Quarter Sessions, Mr. Thomas Tibbetts, of Buckingham, a builder in a most extensive way of busi ness, and Wm. Leeds, a man in his employ, were charged with stealing a shroud of the value of 15s. The court was densely crowded. The prisoners were defended by Serjeant Wilkins, with whom were Mr. Power and Mr. Lucas. It appeared that Mr. Tibbetts had been em ployed by a draper at Buckingham to make a coffin for the wife of Mr. Morris, a tradesman. The coffin was taken home by Tibbetts and his man Leeds, who were directed to screw the body down. At this time two nurses were in the room, but Tibbetts would not screw the coffin down until they had left. From something that transpired the coffin was subsequently uncovered, and the flannel shroud was found to have been taken away, it having, before the coffin was screwed down, been seen lying on the body. The defendant Tibbetts, when spoken to on the subject, merely said that he had com mitted a thoughtless act. It appeared that the shroud was almost useless when taken off the body.—Mr. Ser jeant Wilkins made a forcible address to the jury, con tending that the accused had no felonious intent, but that the body of deceased was so offensive that they could not make use of the shroud. He called a num ber of witnesses, including several magistrates, who gave the defendant Tibbetts a very high character.—The Chairman summed up very favourably for the prisoners, and the jury, after being locked up till six o'clock, pro nounced a verdict of " Not guilty." WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE.—A report from the en gineer, as to the progress and present state of the new bridge at Westminster, was published yesterday. The report, which emanates from Mr. Thomas Page, is dated June 18, 1855. The contract requires the com pletion of the works by the Ist of June, 1857. The tem porary works for the service of the bridge were com menced in May, 1854, consisting of platforms at the Bridge-wharf, on the Surrey side of the river, two large platforms on the north and south sides of the bridge, opposite the blocked-up arches, and the hoarding for the bridge, and the piles, girdings, and framing for the travellers. The last-named work, as it precedes the piling for the piers, is still in progress. The driv ing of the first elm bearing pile was commenced on the 3d of July, 1854, and the driving of the iron piles and plates, which commenced in September, has been progressing regularly. The works provided for fixing are 77 granite slabs for the facing and foun dations, a quantity of granite for the plinths of the piers, 72 iron piles, and 104 iron plates for the first 0 33 principal feet of the bridge. The casting of the ribs is in Prfeert; :P h ; ien c e d b and the wrought-iron segments forming the centraraisL at of the ribs are being made at Mr. Mare :8 Pre atte ibutauie Blackwall.

Much inconvenience and dissatisfaction has been created among the principal export houses of the City by a sudden announcement from the Post-office that the advantage hitherto enjoyed of transmitting commercial circulars by post under the newspaper stamp law is with drawn. Annexed is a copy of a communication which has, in consequence, been addressed to that depart. ment "Lime-street, July 2. "Sir,—ln Compliance with your advice, that we shoald put on paper the reasons which exist for a continuance of the privilege which has been so long conceded by the Go vernment to Price Currents' and ` Circulars,' of passing to the colonies and foreign parts by means of the newspaper stamp, wo beg to submit to you our belief that, instead of injuring the revenue of the Post•office—which must be the reason for the obstruction—they increase it. "These `Price Currents' are entirely open, never con taining an allusion to any transaction between the parties ; not a word is ever written in or on them but the address. They give general information of the position and prices of the various articles to which they refer, producing orders for goods, and consequently insuring postal communica tion, which but for thorn would be far less frequent. "We beg also to state that our Price Currents' and Circulars' are literally newspapers, quite as much as is the city article in the Times. They do not, it is true, often contain political news, yet it would be easy to show that they have done good service to the cause of free trade, by their exhibiting its principles during the struggle to obtain it, and that they are still advocating its advantages ; but they contain ' news ' to the mercantile and commercial world, of the variations in value, the excess or diminution of the imports to which they relate, and the general aspect of trade, which to their readers are news of perhaps more importance than the collision of armies ; and it is not too much to say that to these 'Price Currents' and ` Circulars,' extended as has been their circulation, the nation is in a considerable degree indebted for that extraordinary rapid result of free trade seen in the magnitude of our exports. "We beg to add that the whole of the merchants and brokers in the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane were much surprised at the decision of the Post-office on this subject, as it is a retrogradation which a free-trade Government could never think of enacting, and which they believe must have been adopted without investigating all its bearings. " Begging, therefore, a reconsideration of the subject, we are, sir, your obedient servants, " T. J. AND T. POWELL. " To Frederick Hill, Esq." CIVIL LIST PENSIONS.

A Treasury Warrant regulating the rates of postage on newspapers, printed periodicals, and price currents, under the new arrangement has appeared. The chief points have been already made public in the Post-office circulars ; but the details are here presented at one view, in a convenient form. Every such newspaper, printed periodical, or price current, must be without cover, or in a cover open at the ends ; there must be no commu nication in marks cr writing, except the name and ad dress of the party to whom it is sent (except also the name of publisher, newsvendor, or agent on the cover) ; nothing else must be enclosed within such newspaper, &c. The following schedule of British rates is appended to the warrant : ON BRITISH NEWSPAPERS AND PRINTED PERIODICALS. —From one post-town to another within the United Kingdom (except by private ships), free.

Among these, a despatch boat, a vessel of promised great speed, is to be built with all possible quickness. Her keel was laid on Saturday last, and a powerful array of artisans will shortly be employed upon her. Notwithstanding this change of tactics, the blacksmith are employed from 6 a.m. till 10 p.m. on the Repul se , th o ugh she is not likely to be launched for some time, her ironwork being in a very backward state. The contract for the erection of gasworks and main of pipes has just been taken, and the contract specifies the arsenal is to be lighted by the Ist of October. This will be a great accommodation to the establishment. This is at present the only dockyard that produces its own gas. The enlargement of the dry Idock is progressing rapidly, as is the formation of the new gills and boat Win.' p.
