Under the provision made at ' the last investigation for the payment of an INTERMEDIATE 13 0 NITS, in the case of Policies becoming Claims by death during the current Septennisil period, the whole amounts respectively payable under the above Policies, in the event of the risks now emerging, would be considerably more than those stated in the last column. Thus, supposing the life assured by the first policy to drop during the present year, the amount payable under the 10001. Policy would be, not 2 0311. ls. Bd., ,but 21731. ss. 2d. In all cases where the member is not incapacitated in any way from dealing with his Policy, ho has the option of con verting the Reversionary Claim for whatever Bonus has been added to it, into an equivalent present payment in cash, or o f applying the same towards extinction or reduction of the fUtitre Premiums. As showing the effect of such conversion , o r application, the cases of the above Policies may be taken. I Ile amount of additions to the second Policy being 5901. ls. Bd., the member might at the present time surrender the reversionary claim therefor, and receive in cash a sum of 3301. 19s. Ild. Or, h e might surrender the reversionary claim for bonus to the extent of 4671 12s. ld , and be relieved from any further payment of the premiums exigible in terms of the Policy, retaining a claim for the remainder of the addi tions already made, namely, 1121. 9s. 9d., and for any , further bonus to be declared in future. I the case of the third Policy, to which there are additions of 4071. 12s. 3d., the member, on surrendering these might either receive a sum of 2281. 12s. 9d. in cash, or he might have all future premiums exigible in terms of the Policy reduced from the original amount of 314 17s. 6d. to 91. 2s. Or again, he might, by renouncing right to 2041. ss. 6d. of the bonus, have the premiums exigible in terms of the Policy from this date to the close of the year 1859, four in number, altogether extinguished, reserving to himself a claim for the balance of 2031. 6s. 9d., and for any further addition by way of bonus to be afterwards declared.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. . The Royal Mail steamship Americca has arrived from Boston and Halifax, with dates from New York to the 20th, and by telegraph to the 22d ult., and $774,692 in specie on freight. The Royal Mail steamship Canada, heme, had arrived at Halifax. • In the Senate Mr. Cass had given notice that he should ask leave, when a convenient opportunity presented itself, to show that he had been misunder stood in certain correspondence by Mr. Crampton with the British Government. There is no further definite news upon the sub ject of the Central American difficulties. The Cabinet were deliberating on Lord Clarendon's despatch. The New York Herald, writing in reference to the despatch, says " We apprehend that this ultimatum of my Lord Clarendon, and this late Padre Vigil coup d'etat of our warlike President, will result in a more voluminous diplo matic correspondence than all that which has been in flicted upon us during the last 12 months. After the national democratic presidential nominating convention, however, we are disposed to believe our Pieree's Admi nistration will be prepared seriously and honestly to pro 'eeed' to business in the settlement of our difficulties with England ; and this convention, fortunately for the great financial and commercial interests of both countries, meets at Cincinnati on 2d of the coming June." In another article upon the same question it says : "It has come to this—that either Great Britain or the United States must break down upon the question of enlistment. There can be no longer any doubt that we shall dismiss Mr. Crampton. That will be an act offen sive to the present British Ministry, and it will be met by a refusal of that Government to name his successor. Diplomatic intercourse between the two nations will be suspended ; but that amounts to little, and is soon dis posed of. Then, are we to recede or undertake the dis lodgment of the British authorities in Central America ? That is the question. The President says in his special message that Central America has become exceedingly important to this Republic in view of our positions and trade on the Pacific side of the continent. We have so stated to the Government over and over again. The Isthmus is important as a highway, as a great channel of trade, and as a bond of union between our extreme west and our extreme east. It is precisely this fact which has made Great Britain so strenuous to govern in Central America, and which will induce the Palmerston Ministry to adhere to its present line of policy. They will continue to colonize in that region. They will go on enlarging their colonial estates, and they will, if need be, fight for it. It has become a question of might ; the diplomatic features of the case are no longer visible. It is now whether we have the means, the courage, and the dis position to prevent England's determination from being carried out. Let Mr. Crampton be dismissed. Let the issue he made: Let the question be tried. Mr. Buchanan at Baltimore said we had the largest commercial marine in the world—that our navy was only third or fourth-rate. Mr. Buchanan might havo added that we have a vast seaboard, and great trading interests scattered all over the world, and he would have presented the case in a still stronger light had he added that the first and second.rate naval Powers were greater than all the others combined. All this bears upon the Central America affair ; it touches the question of might. We have good arguments, strong convincing facts. Great Britain has a great navy—strong and powerful means of aggression. We have no national policy, no traditional ambition. England is anchored to a system of aggres sions and encroachment which have become the law of her nationality. In this spirit she has determined to attain control in Central America, and she will relinquish this determination only at the end of a war which shall prove our power on this side of the water to be equal to our pretensions." The New York Courier and Enquirer says : England and the United States will not go to war except upon the direst necessity that may arise, but we cannot believe that it will. We shall see Mr. Crampton leave us with much regret, but with little apprehension." The Washington correspondence of the Tribune reports, in reference to the dispute between Mr: Clayton and Mr. Crampton, that the latter explains the issue of veracity by saying that Mr. Clayton called on him to examine some old English maps on whicn Ruatan and Jamaica were designated and coloured in the same way ; whereupon Mr. Clayton admitted that both were evidently British possessions. With regard to the new Nicaraguan Minister the same correspondence says,— "The foreign legations determine not to recognise the Padre Vigil, socially or officially. It also reports that M. Sartiges had endeavoured to effect au arrangement between the Governments of England and the United States." Information had been laid before Mr. Marcy, showing that Commodore Vanderbilt and Joseph L. White's party in New York had sent a special message out to inform the British commander in the waters of San Juan that the steamer had 500 Filibusters on board, and to invite his interposition to prevent their landing. In commercial circles a rupture between Great Britain and the United States is looked upon as au absurdity amounting almost to an impossibility. The writer of the money article of the .New York _Herald says, while the speculators are predicting all sorts of dangers and damages, the merchants engaged in foraign trade are quietly and confidently pursuing their legitimate business. The commercial article in the New York Courier and Enquirer en dorses this opinion, and, relying upon the good sense of the people in both countries, and the honesty and the well-known sentiments of the Cabinets at Washington and London, has no fear as to a rupture upon the questions now pending. The Jamaica papers profess to have advices from San Juan that General Walker had attempted an attack on Greytown, when the British frigate Eurydice had fired on him, killing 26 of his men. The report is supposed to be an exaggeration of the affair between Captain Tarleton and the steamer Orizaba. . Advices from Kansas report that an engagement was shortly anticipated. Both sides were well armed, and had field pieces. The dates from Havannah are to the 14th ult.

TRIESEMAR.—On the 29th of May, 1855, au injunction was granted by the Nigh Court of Chancery, and on the 11th of Jane following was made perpetual, against Joseph Franklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou sand pounds, from imit a ti ng this Medicine, which is protected b y Royal Letters Patent o f E ngland, and secured by the Seals . the Mole de Pharacia de Paris, an d the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna.

From the New York Commercial advices we learn that in the stock market a dull feeling pre vailed, and the transactions which took place were at lower prices. There was a tightness in the money market ; the current quotations were 7 to 8 per cent. for prime short mercantile notes, and 8 to 9 per cent. for four to to six months ditto. Foreign exchanges were firmer ; bills on England were in moderate demand at 1091, 1098, and 110 ; bills on France were quoted at 5161 to 5181. The cotton market was firm, with a fair demand at Le. to ic. advance. Flour had improved in price 12ic. to 25c. per barrel on the better descrip tions of shipping qualities. Pork was easier, but beef was heavy. The Scotch pig iron was selling at $32 to $33 six months. Freights to Liverpool were easier, namely, for cotton, 3-16 to 7-32 of a cent. per lb. ; flour, 2s. to 2s. 3d. per barrel ; grain, sd. to 6d. per bushel. To London, flour, 2s. to 2s. 3d. per barrel.

On Saturday' the foundation-stone of " The Strangers Home" was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This institution is intended to be similar in its nature to the Sailors' Home, in Wellclose-square, and to be spe cially set apart as the home for Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders, during their stay in the metropolis. At four o'clock, the firing of a royal salute announced the arrival of his Royal Highness, who was accompanied by Lord Torrington, Lord Abel-corn, and Col. Du Plat .the.band of the Royal Artillery at the same time playing the National Anthem. Ills Royal Highness was warmly cheered on. his arrival, and as his Royal Highness en tered 'the marquee, the Hindoos and natives of other countries who were present made their " salaanis" ac cording to the custom of their particular nation. His Royal Highness was received by the Earl of Chichester, Dhnleep Sing, and Bishop Carr, and by the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company, and was conducted to a ohair of state, on a slightly raised dais, - in the centre of the marquee, and belle it:was a similar chaii for his Highness the Maharajah DhnleeP Sing. The Earl of CHICHESTER addressed his Royal High ness, and eipiained to him the nature and objects of the institution, and the urgent necessity there was of pro viding "The Strangers' Home" for the poor and helpless natives of far distant countries, who CSMO to these shores ignorant of the habits and language of the people. Bishop CARR - having offered up a prayer for tho occa sion, the ceremony commenced of laying the stone. His Royal Highness having been banded a richly chased towel proceeded to smooth the mortar, and the stone was slowly lowered into its bed. His Royal Highness havin g used the plumb-line an d l eve l, gave two or three blows with the mallet, and so ended the ceremony of laying the forndation-stone. The 117th Psalm was then sung, all present joining in it, assisted by the band. His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Sing then ad dressed Prince Albert in English, thanking him on the part of the natives of India and other strangers from distant lands, for his kindness and condescension in per forming the ceremony which had now been completed. Colonel SYKES, Chairman of the East India Company, next addressed his Royal Highness on the part of the subscribers to the institution. Prince ALBERT then replied as follows :—lt has, as you justly suppose, given me great pleasure to co operate with you in this good work, the foundation of which has this day been laid. It appears to me to be our day to assist and protect, as far as lies in our power, from the danger and temptations to which their help lessness and ignorance expose them, the natives of those remote regions who are brought to our shores, assisting in our commerce, and contributing by their labours to the riches of this country. (Loud applause.) The proceedings having terminated, his Royal High ness left for Buckingham Palace. THE _PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN. On Saturday a public meeting, under the direction of the Council of the Law Amendment Society, was held at_ No. 21, Regent-street, to 'consider the present state of the law affecting the property of married women. Sir John Pakington, M.P. (in the absence of Lord Brougham, whose attendance was prevented by a severe domestic afflictipn), in the chair. In opening the proceedings, The. CHAIRMAN observed that he was glad to see so many ladies in the room, as their presence showed that they were conscious of the defect in the law and of the necessity for the Legislature to place ti,em in a different position to that which they now occupy. The law of divorce required amendment, and the law w:.ich related to the property of married women was a gr- at and cardinal' defect in the social system. These laws 'right be considered laws for the rich and not laws fcr the poor. They were, in fact, laws which consulted the interests of the few and neglected the interests of the many. According to the present state of things, as observed in the report of the Personal Laws Committee on the law relating to this sub• ject, a married woman could make no contract, neither could she sue nor be sued ; and, although she might be legally separated from her husband, and have, in fact, an ample separate maintenance, she was not liable on her contracts, even for the necessaries of life. Noy was the husband liable in such case ; and those tradesmen who may have gitten credit to a married wo man with a separate maintenance of 1,0001. a-year, has positively_ no remedy against either patty. Another anomaly in the law was, that in all cases where'parties married without any ante-nuptial contract. and where property was bequeathed to, or acquired by the wife, without the technical words which create separate pro perty, such acquisitions fall into the absolute power of the husband. He (Sir John Pakington) was strongly impressed with the conviction that this law ought to be altered, and in such a manner as to give to the wife the same interest in her own property which the husband possessed in his. Sir E. PERRY, M.P., moved a series of resolutions, to the effect that the rules of the common law, which gave all the personal property of a woman on marlriage, and all subsequently acquired property and earnings to the husband, were unjust in' principle and injurious in their operation. The resolutions were agreed to, after some little dis cussion, in which Mr. Monckton Manes, M,P., Lord Denman, and others took part. - THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL.

The "The na , of North as foran easy oceans, has ,1 Arne, ntin en ts affords Pacific America, the objec t onviercial nations ; an. Igmented in modern oom mercial relat If steam Kea a motiva powt , Ott ac count of its geographic., poi „ _ political interest as an American State, the isthmus is of pe culiar importance—just as the isthmus of Suez is, for corresponding reasons, to the commercial Powers of Europe. But, above all, the importance to the United States of securing a free transit across the Ame rican isthmus has become of paramount importance since the settlement of the territories of Washington and Ore gon, and the accession of California. Impelled by these considerations the United States took steps at an early day to assure suitable means for commercial transit, by canal, railway, or otherwie, across the isthmus." After speaking of the treaty with New Granada, securing the right of transit, and the unsuccessful endeavour to ob tain from Mexico tits right of way at the noriharn extre mity of the isthmus, by way of Tehuantepec, the Presi , dent alludes to the importance of the narrower point of the isthmus for transit, and the permanent interest the United States has in the security and protection of pro. jected lines of travel. He adverts to the fact that, al though this Government has been solicited to extend its protecting power, and avail itself of such advantages as that protection would secure, still it has persevered in a system of justice and respect for the rights and inte rests of others as well as our own, in regard to all Cen tral American States. He refers briefly to the posses sion taken by the British of the harbour of San Juan del Norte almost immediately after the treaty of Guada lupe Hidalgo, and of the effect produced upon Nicaragua by that act. He then adverts to the unsettled condition of the Spanish American republics, and the solicitude and regret such a state of affairs inspired in the United States. The violent revolutions and wars with which they have been continually agitated have made them comparatively powerless—unable to afford due protec tion to foreign interests within their territory, or defend their own soil against aggressions, foreign or domestic. The burden of this state of things has, consequently, been cast upon the foreign States associated in close rela tions of commercial intercourse. In speaking of Mexico the President shows the fact that Great Britain and France have both had occasion to resort to their military power to enforce the rights of their citizens against the independent Spanish American States. He likewise alludes to the fact that, although it would be as easy for the United States to absorb new territory from Central Amerida as it is for European States to do this in Asia or Africa, yet we have abstained from it in obedience to considerations of right, not less than of policy. He affirms that he has never failed to discharge the duties which he owes to himself, to his country, and to foreign Powers, and that he has never failed sternly to exert all the authority in him vested to repress unlawful enterprises because th ey are in violation of the laws of the land which the constitution requires him to faithfully execute, because they are con trary to the policy of this Government, and because to permit them would be a departure from good faith with the American republics in amity with us. Among the American republics to which modern events have im parted the most prominence is that of Nicaragua, on ac count of its transit and otherwise. The President states that in their struggles and troublesyteither being strong enough to overcome the other, one of the parties (Cos- Milieus) invited the assistance of a small body of citizens of the United States, whose presence apparently put an end to the struggle and restored quiet by placing at the head of the Government a distinguished individual, by birth a citizen of the republic—lion Patricio Rivas—as its provisional President. " Tile message, in allusion to the established policy of the United States in relation to the recognition of fo reign Ministers, sets forth the following principles ; " ' We recognise all Governments, without question as to their source or organisation, or the means by which the governing powers attain their power, provided there be a Government de facto, accepted by the people of the country. " We do not go behind the fact of a foreign Govern ment exercising the actual power to investigate ques tions of legitimacy. " ' We do not inquire into the causes which may have led to a change of Government. To us it is indifferent whether a ■uccessful revolution has teen aided by fo reign intervention or not ; whether insurrection has over thrown the existing Government, and another been established in its place according to the pre-eicisting form , , or in a manner adopted for the occasion by those whom we may find in the actual possession of power. " All these matters are left to the people and the public authorities of countries respectively. During the 67 years of our existence under our present constitution we have had occasion to recognise Governments de facto founded either by domestic revolution or by military in vasion from abroad, in many of the Governments of Europe. " The principle is vastly more important as appli cable to the Central American States, where revolutions are constantly occurring. Therefore when the Minister from Nicaragua presented himself some months since, bearing the commission of President Rivas, if the facts which are now presented had existed, he must have been received. " The various objections to him were stated. An other Minister now presented himself, and had been re ceived, satisfactory evidence appearing that he repre sents the Government de facto and—so far as such exists---the Government de jure of that republic.' "The President adds other considerations of interest to this country to enforce thepropriety of this reception. " The message states that a special commissioner has deen despatched to Panama to investigate the facts of the late occurrence in that quarter, and suggests that other measures for the security of transit must be resorted to ; and that, if the present constitutional power of the Pre sident is not sufficient, he will communicate to the Con gress such recommendations as the exigencies of the case may indicate. " The documents accompanying the message are very voluminous. Those from the Attorney-General comprise instructions to prevent the fitting out of expeditions, military or naval, for invading the territory of any foreign Powers. " The report of the Secretary of the Navy embraces various orders to the commanders of the Susquehanna, Potomac, Fulton, and St. Mary's. To Commodore Paulding the Secretary encloses a copy of the statement of Captain Tinklepaugh, of the Orizaba, saying that it presents a case which makes it manifest that our flag should be shown at San Juan de Nicaragua. In consi deration of these circumstances he is directed to proceed there with the frigate Potomac, and in distributing the vessels of the home squadron the Secretary gives parti cular instructions to each commander to touch at Pana ma, Aspinwall, and San Juan as often as consistent with a due regard to the interests of our country in those parts, the sloop St. Mary's to remain at Panama as long as she is needed." Generally speaking, the New York papers are averse to the step taken by President Pierce, assert ing that the recognition of General Walker is ill timed. Other journals affirm that Walker should have been recognised many months sin c e. Th e Herald contains the following article on the sub ject : :.‘ If anything was wanting to illustrat e th e feeble- I ness and irresolution of Mr. Pierce's character, his message to the Senate on Thursday would supply the deficiency. In that document he says that the United States' doctrine has always been to recognise all Governments de facto, without inquiry into their origin, or into the legitimacy of their title ; and such is the fact, bat ho goes on to say that with this doctrine in view he refused to receive Mr. Minister French. And why ? Because, forsooth, the President lacked 'satisfactory information upon the question whe ther President Rivas was iu fact the head of an established Government in Nicaragua. It the President did not know what ware going on at Nicaragua, that was his fault. He had a Minister resident there. He bad ample information in the public press of all the events that had taken plane there. He knew as well as any other man in the country —o r he might have known if he had chosen to know—that the Rivas Gro vernment was solidly established, far more of a de facto Government than many which have been recognised by Mr. Pierce's predecessors. And, if any further informa tion was wanting, Mr. French and his friends were ready to impart it. What has Mr. Pierce learnt since ? From what source has he obtained that 'satisfactory informa tion' which he lacked when he declinedtoreceiveFrencb, and which now authorises him to receive Vijil. It falls to our duty to record passing events, but we are bound to say that we have yet to hear of a single event which has occurred eince the rejection of French that would tend to increase anybody's faith in the stability of the Rivas Government. We do not believe that any single item of news has arrived from Nicaragua since French f tiTed that was not apparently adverse to the nivall inte ret. Our Nicaraguan advices have been engrossed by an unbroken series of calamities for Walker ; and thelast —those which Mr. Pierce had before him when he penned this message—left it a matter of grave doubt whether at the time the message 'was sent to the Senate the Gcivern ment recognised in the person of Padre Vijil was in reality ade facto Government. Yet it was in theie ad vices that Mr. Pierce found the missing information wbieh satisfied him that he might safely recognise Rivas. This will not do, Mr. Pierce. An ordinary dose of gammon the country will swallow cheerfully ; but the popular gullet is not capacious enough for this. The plain fact is that French was not received because Mr. Pierce was afraid of England blustering; that Vijil was received because the same Mr. Pierce was afraid of Douglas cutting him out at Cincinnati. Both Acts sprang from a cowardly, contemptible, disgraceful motive ; and it is quite in keeping with bot h to attempt to divert at tention from them by stealing a little of Mr. Cass's thunder, and hallooing about liirithh aggression in Mos quito. The plain fact with regard to Nicazagua and Central America is that British interests there are as dead as King George, of blessed memory. For Walker the crisis has passed. There was a doubt whether he personally Would be able to withstand the combined pressure of an invasion from Costa Dim with foreign troops, of a hostile intervention of the British squadron, of the interruption of communication between Nicaragua and the United States, of treachery in his camp, 1 of a severe want of money, and, above all, of the outlawry which the rejection of French virtually pronounced!upon . him. But we learn by the George Law that he has safely weathered this astonishing combination of adverse circumstances, and that the Rivas Government is still in existence. This probably settles the question. Hence forth, apprehension as to Walker's success becomes gra tuitous and puerile. It is considered impossible by his friends that he can fail. Already one vessel has left New Orleans with men and arms—openly, in broad day light, after public advertisement, with the sanction of the authorities. Other vessels, in other ports, have been laid on for Nicaragua. There are in this country, at a moderate computation, 5,000 men who are ready to join Walker, if they can do so without violating the laws of the land. Nor can they be hindered from gratifying their wish. They are men with families, and young men who seek, not the excitement of war, but a settlement in life and a homestead. They go to Nicaragua' instead of Kansas or Wisconsin or lowa, simply because they be lieve they can do better there. Who is to stop them ? Certainly not the United States Government, unless the exit of men and women to Europe or Canada,or Mexico he likewise prohibited. Nor yet England, unless her rulers and her American agents choose to ex hibit a degree of folly compared to which the policy of the North Administration was enlightened and sagacious. Now even poor Mr. Marcoleta, who whiles away his time in copying the New England clergymen, and protesting, in the face of God, against this country having a mind of its own. We are solicitous to rouse no over-sanguine hopes, deal in no exaggeration. But strange accidents must happen if before the close of this year the causes we have mentioned do not invest Walker with the dominion of all Central America, from the southern frontier of Honduras to the very border of the Panama Railroad. In three months, under ordinary circumstances, he will be at the head of an army which could conquer all the Central American States, and Mexico and New Granada also, if need were. There are persons who anticipate opposition from England. These must entertain a singularly contemptuous opinion of the sagacity of our Transatlantic cousins. England has nothing whatever to gain by impelling the Ameri canisation of Central America ; but, as one of the two leading commercial nations of the world, she has every thing to gain by the consummation of that obviously proximate event. Central America in Yankee hands would be worth to England ten times as much as it has been in the hands of the Spanish ; and, as no English man has even broached the idea of conquering Central America on behalf of England, this would seem to be the very thing the English ought to desire most. At bottom no doubt so it is. People talk end gabble about the Mos quito question and Ruatan anti Bay Islands ; but these bugbears are only kept alive as floats to buoy no sink ing politicians. Nobody in England cares a straw about them. Our lasts accounts were that the English had sold the Mosquitos cheap to Walker, and taken his note, payable next century ; also that they were trying hard to sell Ruatan and the Bay Islands to Honduras, which thrifty State was asking a good round sum to take them. So these squabbles are sure to end. The Herald is not satisfied with the feeling dis played by the French towards the Americans, and thus ruminates on the matter : " It is understood that the 3 officers who were sent on e l i l t y a ry refusedtou r t p o e r In E s r s o i e p n e , fortification in France, and that the language of the t a h s ey cie w n e t r ifi e c r m ud i to ha v v is e it r the o r wordworks a e t f Mi nister of War was such as to constitute an insult. It is suggested that the matter ought to form the subject of a diplomatic: correspondence. We do not think so. The French are the masters of their military works, and may refuse to allow them to •be inspected if they choose. They are entitled, moreover, to adopt , .. . what tone they please in conversing with foreign visitors, farad may exhibit grossness and ill-breeding if that is their bunt. Foreigners can only note such un pleasant occurrences ; they cannot refine them into public or national affronts. Before going further with . . ... this business, moreover, it will be well to make sure of the facts. When the commission first arrived in Europe it was said that the commissioners had been well treated by the French and Russians, but scurvily by the English. It is now confessed that nothing could have been more gratifying than their reception both in the British camp and at the Horse Guards. It has also been stated, and again denied, that the commissioners were badly used in Russia ; that permission was refused them to inspect works, &c. This French story may possibly be of a piece with these. It is not certain that the commission hasyet reported; strong opinions had best be withheld till they do. At the same time it ought not to be concealed that of late the tone and attitude of the French towards the United States have been far from worthy of the ancient alliance between the two countries." Great excitement had been caused at New Orleans by the recognition of Padre Vigil by the President as Minister from Nicaragua. The intel ligence stated that the entire South was alive in consequence. Tho steam ship Daniel Webster, which would probably sail from New Orleans on the 22d ult., would, it was expected, convey plenty of recruits. The steam-frigate Susquehanna had sailed from Philadelphia for San Juan del Norte. She con veys important despatches to Colonel Wheeler, the American Minister at Granada. The Susque hanna will be delayed a few days at Fort Mifflin to receive ammunition ; she carries 15 guns. In the course of a fortnight there would be in the harbour of San Juan the American war steamers Susquehanna, Fulton, and Merrinac, and the fri gate Potomac. The sloop of- war St. Mary's would remain .at Oanrma, as long as her presence was deemed necessary for American interests in that quarter. The steamship George Law had arrived at New York from Aspinwall with 1,000,000 dols. in-trea sure. The intelligence from California is not in teresting. Particulars of a terrible accident which occurred on the Panama railroad, by which between 30 and 40 persons were killed and 70 and 80 wounded, have been received. The accident occurred about nine miles from Aspinwall. The train was convey ing the passengers by the George Law, who were on their way to California. The second car from the locomotive, from some cause at present inex plicable, ran off the line and was followed by eight others, all of which were precipitated into a ravine 30 feet deep. There could not have been less than 500 persons in the carriages, and it was feared that the above figures are a very small estimate of the loss of life which has taken place. The New York papers describe the scene as horrible. As soon as tho wounded could be conveyed back to Aspinwall, owing to the crowded state of the hospital applica tion was made to the inhabitants to receive them at their houses, but in nearly every instance the white inhabitants, who are principally hotelkeepers, refused and closed their doors. The unfortunate suf ferers were therefore crammed into the hospital, where the scene was,painful in the extreme. Some of the unfortunate persons were dreadfully mutilated. About two-thirds of the wounded had one or both legs fractured, besides being otherwise injured, while out of the whole numbr but one had a frac tured arm. One or two had their skulls broken in. One whole family, consisting of father, mother, and five children, with the exception of one child, was killed, and some had their heads completely severed from their bodies. The New York papers publish the official corre spondence which has taken place in the affair of the Panama massacre, including the letters of Captain Bayly of the United States' ship St. Mary and the Governor of the State. The documents, says the New York Herald, wholly fail in exculpating the authorities from the charge of having contributed to the disaster. The statements which they have made are all flatly contradicted by reliable wit nesses, and it now remains with the American Go vernment to exact that satisfaction and indemnity for the sufferers which the gross misconduct of the officials entitle them to. The New York money-market was unchanged. The demand was not active, and the supply fully adequate. Foreign exchanges were quiet, and no large transactions were reported for the steamer. Bills on London were quoted at 1091 ; Paris, 51. 161 c. to sf. 15c. The stock-market exhibited a bet ter tendency, and in several of the leading specula tive securities the transactions during the week were quite as extensive. The Asia's news checked sales of cotton, which Were limited to about 500 SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 31.

SCOTCH FISHERIES BOARD.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer has resolved ou a further investigation into the public advantage of continuing the Scotch Fisheries Board, and has selected Mr. Bonamy Price and Mr. St. John, the latter an officer of the Customs, to conduct the inquiries; and report on the whole question. DISCOVERY OT ANCIENT WALL PAINTINGS.—Recent reparations in Hadleigh church, Essex, have been the means of bringing to light some interesting mural deco rations, which, under the care and superintendence of the Rev. W. E. Heygate and Mr. H. W. King, will furnish the ecclesiastical antiquary with curious examples of the modes of adorning our churches in the middle ages and with examples of the artistic skill of the designers and decorations. The paintings in Hadleigh Church are of at least four distinct periods—the oldest and the beat in style being of the 13th century. The latest of the 15th century, upon the north wall, is a demi figure of the "Virgin Crowned and a Woman in the attitude of Supplication." Near this is the entire figure of " St. James the Less," to whom the church is dedicated. Among the paintings of a later date is a very large representation of the legend of " St.. George and the Dragon," with all the accessories necessary to the full comprehension of the story, such as the " King and the Queen, and their beautiful daughter, who was g iven up to be devoured by the monster, which is repre sented as pierced through the head by the spear of the Champion of Christendom." On the staircase leading to the rood loft is a figure of Beckett in pontificals, and, in Lombardia characters, " Beatus Tomas." It is to be feared that it will be impossible to preserve all these curious paintings ; but Mr. King is makin g care f u l drawings, and Mr. Heygate is spoiling no pains,in order that they may be fully uucoyered MET,SIC.

ITALIAN OPERA AT THE SURREY THEATRE. The series of Italian operas announced for performance at this theatre give so much promise of ex cellence in regard to the artistic arrangements, that the undertaking, though a bold one, bids fair to be most successful.. The season, which will he a short one, will commence on Monday, the 9th June, and the following operas are already included in repertoire :—"Il Barbiere di Siviglia," " Norma," " Lu crezia Borgia," " La Sonnambula," and an Italian ver sion of the " Bohemian Girl," whilst the list of artistes comprises the names of Madame Gassier, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Lorin', Madame Caradori, Madlle. Sedlatzek, Madlle. Rudersdorff, Madlle. Bregazzi, Signor Luchesi, M. Du Laurens, Signor Lorini, Mr. Swift, Signor Fortini, Signor Pierini, M. Gassier, &c. The director of the music and conductor is to be Mr. Alfred Mellon, and there is to be a ballet on each evening after the opera, supported by Miss Resina Wright, Madlle. Marie, and Madlle. Agnes. As this is the first time such an experiment bas been tried in this locality, there can be little doubt that its novelty will lend an addi tional charm to the entertainments, which, it appears, aro to be conducted in a manner worthy of the Italian stage and its professors. DELIBERATE MURDER.—PLY3IOUTII, Sunday evening. —By Electric Telegraph.—The ship Runneymede, Cap. tain Burrows, now at anchor in the Sound, bound with 248 male convicts for Swan River, was this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the scene of a deliberate murder, committed by the second military officer in command, Corporal William Nevan, upon his superior, Acting-Serjeant- Major Biugbam-Robinson, both belonging to the local pensioners, of whom there are 30 in all on board. Ro binson, who was on the poop, sent for Nevan and or dered him to fetch Private Sullivan for parade. While Sullivan was submitting his firelock for examination Nevan descended to the main deck and put a cap on his loaded firelock ; he then went part of the way up the larboard poop ladder, and, stooping, fired at the serjeant, who was standing on the starboard side of the poop. The shot broke the stock of Sullivan's &desk in two pieces as he held it in his hands, knocked off two o f Robinson's fingers ,and then entered his abdomen. Ro binson, in falling, cried out " Oh God ! I am shot ; Oh God ! I am dead," and in a few minutes expired. I t appears that recently, when on duty together at th e Dartmoor prisons, Robinson and Nevan did not agree, and that the latter, when in charge of the police, said that Robinson had threatened to have his pension taken from him. The serjeant leaves a widow and four chil dren, and the corporal has a wife and five children. A GOOD MEMORY FOR GOOD DEEDB.—In the year 1854, a stranger lady, who was passing through Car lisle, naturally visited the cathedral, as a place of inte. rest in our ancient city. After having seen everything of note, she handed a douceur to Mr. John Scott, the verger, for his attention, and departed. Mr. Scott did not at the time observe what he had received, but soon afterwards discovered it was a sovereign. Think ing there must be some mistake , he sou g ht out the lady, and found her on the point of starting for London. The lady thanked him for his honesty, and for the sovereign returned him a shilling, telling him that in her present circumstances she could not spare a larger sum. Mr. Scott heard nothing, nor did he ever expect to hear anything more, of the lady, till last week his recollection of the incident was revived by receiving a large handsomely bound Illustrated Family Bible, with the following ;inscription in the donor's own handwriting :—"This sacred volume is presented to John Scott, in remembrance of an aot of his integrity, by a lady who visited the cathedral of Carlisle in 1554. ,—Carliee Jo urncfd. 7 i ~. . . f . -: Just publiihed, in 2,y015., with Illustrations, 215., "p ASTER: HOSPITALS and ENCILISH 11 - 41 NURSES: The Narridive of Twelve Months' Experiencein the Hospitals of Koulali and Scutari.
