GLEANINGS FROM THE CENSUS RETURNS.—The pro bable lifetime of a male at birth in England is 45 years. The mean lifetime that males live after birth in England is 40.3 G. The mean age of the male population of Great Britain in 1851 is found to be 25.87. The average age of marriage in England is 25. The number of persons in 1851 under 25 being 1 1,573,377, and 25 and upwards 9,611,633. The proportions of the married in the popu lation o f G reat Britain amount to 33 in every 100 males, and to of 32 in renGetvery BritainlOo a women the ema age of 20 andles,ofallag ages. upwards f a t rd he e are compared with the men at home only, the numbers in excess are 540,578, and at the age of 20-40 the excess is 261,060. Many women of this age are, however, mar ried to men of ages further advanced. Great Britain con. tains 3,391,271 husbands, and 3,461,524 wives, 382,969 widowers, and 795,590 widows : from the age of 20 and.upwards the bachelors amount to 1,689,116; the spinsters to 1,767,194. In the elaborate tables of the birth-place of the inhabitants which have been framed, it appears that the soldiers and seamen abroad being deducted, 20,959,477 remain as the population of Great Britain : of these 17,234,490 were born in England and Wales, 2,754,360 in Scotland, 1 22,808 in the islands in the British seas, 733,866 in Ireland, 41,316 in the Bri tish colonies, and 72,637 abroad, 12,774 of the latter being British subjects. Of foreigners in Great Britain, there appear to be 56,665 ; but the number of British subjects abroad who are not counted in the population greatly exceeds these ; 20,857 alone being r eturned as living in France. The returns of th e blin give a total of 24,487, or one in every 975 of the total population ; but nearly one-half of these are above 60 years of age. The number of deaf andldumb is 12,553, or one in every 1, 670. Th,e Builder. THE LENGTHENING OF LIFE.—Look at this one sim ple fact made obvious by the last census. The mean " life-time "in Liverpool is but 25 years, while the mean "life-time" in Surrey is 45 years! The people die 20 years on an average before their time in Liver pool, tried even by the result of a defective state of things in Surrey. The mean " " of all Eng land is about 40 years. If all England were to form themselves into one large " Society for making the ave rage Life -time Seventy," and would ono and alt Carry out the rules which science and experience point out and God permits, they would effect their purpose !

The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville, sailed on Friday for the West Indies. Prior to sailing, her crew were mustered by Port-Admiral Sir William Parker, and the newly-raised men paid wages in advance by Mr. Mills, master-attendant of the dockyard, She is said to be only about 40 short of her complement. The Phaeton, 50-gun frigate, has been put out of dry dock and moored alongside .the MinOtaur,. hulk to the Royal Albert. In consequence of some derangement of the moorings to which the Minotaur was riding, she has with the Phaeton been shifted to a.nother.pair of . moorings in order to enable the riggers to lift the moorings to make good defects. The Cossack, 21, screw, Capt. F. G. Fanshawe, or dered to be fitted for sea at Chatham, is td have a com plement of 236 men. The Esk, 20, screw steam - corvette, is now in an ad vanced state, and will soon be ready for commission. The Malacca is receiving from the Sheerness yard 200 tons of iron ballast to bring her down in the water to counteract her top hamper. She is considered by all practical men to be overmasted; this great leverage upon a heavy ! careen she cannot, at her present draught of water, counteract. It will require until Thursday next to get,the ballast properly stowed, and to complete her machinery, &c. She is being fitted with Mr. W. Bon ney's• patent gutta percha speaking tubes for communi cating with the engine-room, &c., from the quarter-deck. The Malacca's destination is unnown. • The Curlew, 8, screw, Commander Rowley Lambert, is ordered to Chatham, to be fitted for sea immediately. The Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieut. the Hon. Robert F. Boyle, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday from Chatham, where she will i have her compasses adjusted. Her crew will be paid their advance (they are only 2 hands short of her complement), after which she will be inspected by the Admiral previous to her proceeding to sea. Her destination is not yet known..

The Walmer Castle, transport, Commander Price, with Commander John Steane, as transport agent, was at Copenhagen on the 15th instant, waiting there for confirmation of orders to proceed to Farosund, there to take in troops. The Supply, screw steam store-ship; Master-Comman der John Penn, has moved from the dockyard to the Royal Arsenal, to take on board a large quantity of stores for the fleet in the Black Sea and the army in the East. There are now ready for embarkation two large waggons, at present in the carriage department of the Royal Arsenal, fitted with large reels of telegraphic wire covered with gutta percha, and intended as a means of communication between the camps of the army in Tur key. There is a small two-wheeled carriage for each waggon, and a small hand plough for opening the ground in which the telegraphic wire is inserted as it is rolled off one of the large reels, which revolves horizontally, and contains about a mile in length of the wire. The plough is so constructed that on the wire being depo sited on the ground it is immediately covered over and requires no other labour. On the camps changing their positions, the wire can be rolled on the reels again, and be made available on the new ground. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant George E. K.

J olliffe, arrived a v t e Portsmouth on Saturday morning from Woolwich and remains at Spithead. Careful trials of her speed at sea by Massey's patent log show that, when her engines are making 92 revolution s p er m i nute, the vessel is travelling 11 knots, 12.6 statute miles per hour. She arrived at Portsmouth without any defect. She was built by m M a a e r h e n e a r n y d b C y o n o m f r l a e y c k s a ry l e l , n n a a n n d t fi a t n t ed D d Deptford. M r.

The Arrow is the first of the d es p a t c h b oats so called, four of which w y i k t e h s, her were lately constructed by Mare and Co., and two by Messrs. Green, of Blackwall. The Arrow, Beadle, Lynx, and Snake are by the former, and the Wrangier and Viper by the latter firm. They are each of 160-horse power, mounting 10-inch and 8-inch Lancaster's new oval rifle guns and 12-pounder. brass.h owitzers.

What the result is to be we are not :informed of. Sir Baldwin Walker subsequently went on board the Arrow at Spithead, and the Black Eagle conveyed the First Lord to Cowes, after he had held a lengthened levee at the Royal Naval College. In the evening the usual Admiralty dinner to the heads of departments and cap tains of the ships in commission, was given at the George Hotel. Rear-Admiral Berkeley presided. , Sir James Graham having gone to Cowes, it was surmised to in form the Queen of a telegraphic message having been received at the Admiralty fro4i Sir Charles Napier notifying the fall of Bomarsund. Before concluding their business afloat, the Lords of the Admiralty went on board the training . ship Illustrious, Captain Robert Harris, and mustered and - inspected the men under process of training for sea service in , that ship, which admirably answers the purpose fp- which she is commis sioned.

ADMIRAL OF THE FLT AT CROATADT. Admiral Ricord is a plain.md an obliging sort of a man, in appearance not at an' Russian. He was for many years. governor of Kamschatka ; from thence he was appointed port captain at Cronstadt ; in 1828 he sailed from Cronstadt with a squadron of frigates under . his orders, for the Black Sea, and in th e B ritish Channel wa s over t a k en w i t h a - gale, which separated the ships, and all but the frigate on board of which Admiral Ricord was bore up and reached Plymouth ; and so certain were the officers of these ships that the commodores ship had foundered in the gale, and all 911 band perished, that they went threligh the core. mony of putting the image of the Virgin Mary into ! mourning, and the priests and all on board appeared to feet the loss of the admiral, as he was much re spected. These 'ships, from the effects of the gale, had to go through a thorough refit ; when completed they sailed again, and on arrival at their port of destina tion they found the admiral there, all safe and sound, which occasioned general satisfaction. The officers, who were very gentlemanly men, were much annoyed by civilised Plymouthers, and by their rude remarks as they passed through the streets. Commander Benjamin B. Priest, lately come home from the Leopard steam-frigate, in the Baltic, is to succeed Commander Elliman in the command of the Salamander, paddle-sloop at this port. Cominander Priest came home ou his promotion. THE GOLDEN FLEECE.

The wires for the electric telegraph, to communicate between Chatham Dockyard, Woolwich, and Deptford and the Admiralty are completed, and the telegraph is in operation. A Brazilian war steamer arrived in Plymouth Sound on Friday afternoon. John Pitts, ropemaker, is appointed leadingman, vice Solomon Hicks, superannuated to Chatham Dockyard. MISCELLANEOUS. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Honourable Joseph Denman, embarked Prince Albert from Osborne on Saturday morning, and conveyed him to Portland, returning to Osborne in the evening. After disembarking his Royal Highness, the yacht went into Portsmouth harbour. Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence visited Woolwich dockyard on Friday, and was accompanied by Commodore John Shepherd during his visit to the Fisgard, flag -ship. It appears that the intelligence from Constantinople that Mr. Hale, the manufacturer of rockets without a stick, had died there, is incorrect, as letters were received in London on Saturday from Constantinople, in which Mr. Hale states that he is quite well. The n ew po li ce corps f or Turkey, to be named the "New Staff Corps," are to have the tunic frock coat — the Russian helmet—black leather, with a spike oh the top—dark trousers, with leather casings, pouch belt, with slung sword, and Colt's revolver pistols.—United Service Gazette. THE EMBODIED MILITIA REGINENT3.—The follow ing are the regiments of militia of England and Wales that are already embodied, and now engaged in doing permanent duty : Bedford (Light Infantry), Royal Bucks (King's Own), Cambridge, 2nd South Devon, Essex Rifles, Hampshire, East Kent, Ist Royal Lancashire, Royal South Lincoln, 4th Royal South Middlesex, Royal Monmouth, Northampton, Somerset, Ist Stafford (King's Own), Royal Wiltshire, 2nd West York (Light Infantry), 3rd West York (Light Infantry). SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY, AT WINDSOR. • - SIXTEENTH DAY—SATonnikr. The Court re-assembled this morning at 11 o'clock, for the purpose of again discussing the evidence as recorded by the Deputy Judge-Advocate. The Court was constituted as on the previous day, Colonel Kelly being the President, and Major Dalgetty the Deputy Judge-Advocate. After sitting till half-past one o'clock with closed doors, the Court broke up, having determined on their verdict, which we have reason to believe was favourable to the prisoner, but it may not be promulgated for several days. It was mentioned at the barracks on Saturday, that the commander-in-chief, or the Queen; not being satisfied with the finding of the, court-martial on Lieut. Greer's trial, which it is understood was for an acquittal, that officer will be again put on his trial immediately, for un gentlemanly and unofficer-like conduct. What the spe cific charge may be is only known to the authorities at the Horse Guards, but it is evident he cannot again be tried on the former charges. It is also said that, in consequence of a communica tion from the Horse Guards, a court of inquiry, "to be composed of the officers of the 46th," has been held at the Infantry Barracks with respect to the letter written by Lieutenant W. T. Waldy to Lieutenant Perry, in which he stated that Captain Nicholas had used oppro brious and foul language at the mess-table to Ensign Coote, in consequence of his having given Captain Nicholas the lie direct. Lord Hardinge is now at Osborne on a visit to her Majesty, consequently the public may not expect to be kept much longer in suspense relative to the fate of Lieutenant Perry. It is but justice to Colonel Kelly, the president of the Court, and Major Dalgetty, the Deputy Judge-Advocate, at this period to mention, that throughout the trial the greatest courtesy has been shown to the re porters of the public press, not only by causing them to be furnished with seats at a table in a convenient part of the room, but by preventing them from being incon venienced by the pressure of strangers, who daily crowded the court. Mr. Long, solicitor to Lieut Greer, at seven o'clock last evening (Sunday), had received no communication respecting a second trial of his client. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—ln six words in your paper of the 18th instant lies the whole secret of the persecutions against Lieut. Perry—" Perry's father rose from the ranks !" and was made paymaster. In consequence of his long services, a commission was given to his son, that the father's hon ourable career might be rewarded in a way most conso lant with a parent's feelings. Nothing could have been more appropriate than th gift of a commission to the son of the old soldier. He doubtless pictured to himself the future honours which his son would be allowed the opportunity to achieve in a higher sphere than that in which he had trod his thorny path. But he little dreamed the trials and jealousies which were to be cast around his boy ; had he foreseen them, his manly answer would have been :—" Sir, I thank you sincerely for your generous offer to raise my son to the rank of an officer ; could I believe that he would meet with an honourable rivalry in his profession, I would gladly see him fight his way to distinction in defence of his Queen and country, as I have humbly endea voured to do ; but I fear that, without family title (which I have not, with the exception of character), and money to squander at the gambling table, every in dignity will be h ea p e d u p on hi s i nexper i ence d youth ; an, worse than all, he may look with but little hope for support from his superior officers in command. No, sirs ; accept my grateful thanks, but spare my child." Lieutenant Perry's is not an isolated case. It is a common one. In the present day you need not travel far from Regiment, recently stationed at Chatham, to find a living instance where a young and promising officer was driven out of the regiment merely because he attended to his duties, and was the son of a sergeant major. - . Let me give publicity, for example's sake, to this anecdote of the Duko of Cumberland, the brother to George 111. (called by the Scotch in that day, " William the Butcher "), and who was field-mar shal and commander-in•chief of the forces, and commanded the English army at Fontenoy and Cul loden. Oa one occasion the duke noticed the distin guished and honourable conduct of a quarter-master sergeant, who had, of course, risen from the ranks, and be made him, as a reward, a present of a commission in his regiment. He was received at his mess, not with congra tulations on his promotion, but with coolness and unkind ness. He immediately spoke to the duke, and told the duke he was not satisfied with his change, from the way in which his brother officers looked upon him, and he would prefer being reduced to his former position. The duke requested him to attend the next morning's parade, and there his grace walked arm-in-arm with the late quarter-master sergeant in the most friendly way before the whole regiment, much to the chagrin, but perfectly to the cure of " the members of the mess." Thereafter, the once despised was received with courtesy and respect. Who will say that others in command might not, by their example, rule the conduct of those under them b y y a like rebuke ? I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, Chatham, Aug, 19. F. J. • BREACH OP PROMISE OF MARRIAGE MARGARET WOOD V. ARTHUR TISDALL. On Saturday a case was tried at Cork involving a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff in this case was the daughter of an officer in the army, and the defendant a gentleman re siding in the west riding of the county, near Bantry. The summons and plaint stated that the defendant en tered into a certain contract with the plaintiff to marry her, but did not fulfil the contract within "a reasonable time ; while on the part of the defendant the case ap pearing on the pleadings was, that the defendant did not at any time agree to marry the plaintiff, and if he did agree to do so, they had afterwards mutually agreed to rescind the contract, and that, at all events, a rea sonable time had not elapsed for fulfilling it. The case appeared to attract considerable attention, as such cases usually do, and the court was consequently very much crowded, and included amongst the audience a number of ladies. Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Woodrooffe), stated the case for the plaintiff, whom he described as a young lady of most respectable family, and the daughter of a captain in the army ; and he said the defendant was a gentleman aged about 35, and also the member of a highly respectable family which had within the last few years come to reside in the county Cork. It would appear, as he (Mr. Fitzgerald) was instructed, that the defendant's oldest brother, who had been a medical man, and who died in the year 1849, had been married to the plaintiff's sister many years ago, and this family connection having naturally given rise to a considerable intimacy between the other members of both families, it was not at all extraordinary that the defendant should become attached to the plaintiff, and accordingly he represented to her that he was attached to her, and wished to make her his wife, and after the lapse of many years she consented to his proposals, and agreed "to take him for better or for worse." Mr. Tisdall, having procured Miss Wood's assent to their union, commenced to correspond with her, and wrote numerous letters, which would he produced, in which he spoke of her in language which could not leave any doubt upon -any one's mind thatf they were engaged to each other; but he (Mr. Fitzgerald) understood that it would be attempted to be shown that the agreement for 'a marriage was a - condi tional one, and that it was only to take place in case the defendant's mother, from whom he had some expec; tation, gave her consent ; but such an absurd attempt to get out of a solemn contract would not be listened to by any rational jury. No doubt after Mr. Tisdall's first proposal for this young lady, he complained that his mother and family were opposed to the union, and she most honourably released him from his engagement ; but it would be found beyond all doubt, from the defen dant's subsequent letters, dated down to the eminence melt of the present year, that he renewed those propo sals; and a second time prevailed on her to consent to become his wife ; and after hearing those letters read the gentlemen he (Mr. Fit zgera ld) h a d th e h onour t o address would not hesitate to find a verdict for his client, and give her substantial damages for the gross injuries she ;had received from the defendant. The learned gen tleman read a great number of letters during hisaddress, froni which we select the following : • - "My darling "August 11, 1853. Margaret--I suppose you have been most anxious to have heard from me, but we did not get to Cork until this morning, We had no wind and had great knock, ing about, otherwise iyou may rest assured it would have been my first undertaking to have written to you. Oh, 'tis I that feels the lonely one after parting you ; but please God it will not be for a long period. We will not remain in Cork long enough for me to have my likeness taken for you, but will go back to Cork myself and have it done for you—and let you lose no time in getting me your likeness also, and I will forward the other matters as expeditiously as possible. So, my dearest Margaret, do not be in the least bit uneasy, for I will not lose one moment in for warding our undertaking as speedy as possible. Let me hear from you by return of post, in case we may not be here. And now no more at present from one who adores and beloves you from his very heart. " Believe me yours as above ; and nothing on this earth will change me towards you frorg what I am at present until we are married asd happy, A. R. TISDALL. "Post Office, Passage West, Cork." " August 13th, 1853. My Dearest Margaret—l received your letter this day day with the greatest delight possible. Finding that we will be hero longer than we expected, I take the opportu n* of answering your letter in a horsy. I was in Cork yesterday . , and I find that the man who took the daguerreo type was not to be had, and now must wait till I go to Dublin, which will be as soon as possible. So you may gelid me your picture as soon as possible, as I would be able to keep it more secret by getting it here than for you to send it to Dublin, so I will be on the look-out for it by Monday or Tuesday's post. I am glad you enjoyed yourself so much the other evening ; you would be very foolish if you did not enjoy yourself as long as you can. I hope your mamma will continue to recover and be in a full state of health for her voyage. I have no news, my darling Margaret to tell you. Ido not go about much, and therefore you cannot hear much. I return you the same compliment as you have just paid to me, but in a tenfold degree, which I think is not more than you de serve. In fact, I cannot say as much as I would wish to say, unless we were side by side. My dearest, may God bleae you and keep you in all manner of safety is the fer vent prayer of your fondly attached, " A. R. TISDALL." Some parole testimony having been added, Mr. Deasy, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Clarke), ad dressed the jury for the defence, and said he did not mean to deny that his client proposed for, and was anxious and willing to make the plaintiff his wife ; but having no means of his own, or a profession, he told her so, and told her that his marriage should depend on his mother giving her consent, which Mrs. Tisdall declined to do. This was the substance of the original proposal ; and after it was made, and it was found that Mrs. Tisdall would not consent to the marriage, Miss Wood and the defendant agreed to break off the match, and the young lady was actually going to America with her mother and sister, and was only prevented by her mother's sudden death. The defendant did not deny that he wrote to Miss Wood, even after the match was broken off by mutual agreement, and would have been glad to marry her then if he had the means, but ho had not, and his mother, who had the means at her disposal, told him she would not leave him a farthing if he married without her consent. So matters re mained up to the commencement of the present year, when, to the defendant's great surprise, he found an action instituted against him for not marrying a woman who herself agreed to break off her engagement with him. 'Counsel stated that the defendant had unfortu nately destroyed all the letters he received from the plaintiff, which would have proved beyond all doubt that the proposed treaty for a marriage was at an end in the summer of 1853, and was never afterwards re newed. His lordship having charged the jury, they found for he plaintiff 3501. damages and 6d. costs. SOUTHAMPTON, August 18.—The great graving dock in this place, which during the past year has been in process of construction upon the premises of the South ampton Dock Company, is fast approaching completion, and is expected to be opened for general business the first week in October. This important public work has, during its progress, excited considerable attention as being the largest dry or repairing dock in the world, and as being capable, when finished, of taking steam-ships, if necessary, of 5,000 to 6,000 tons' burden. The graving dock is 430 ft. long on the blocks,Bo ft. wide at the gates,and 88 feet at the centre. The depth of water ovdr the sill will be 24 feet at high water of spring-tides and 20 feet at high water of neaps. The pumping engines for emptying the dock are of 100-horse power, working four pump; each, of 54 inches diameter, and it is calculated that with such a ship as the Himalaya docked at spring tides, the dock may be pumped dry in about three hours. The dock can also be filled again in about half an hour, so that, in case of necessity, a vessel might come in at the high water of one tide, have about eight hours for examination or repair, and go out again at the next high water. The dock is built principally of brick work, and the method of con struction as compared with the stonework is very econo• mical: The contract for the dock and engine-house was taken by Messrs. G. Baker and Co., and that for the engines and pumps by Messrs. Maudelay, Sons, and Field, and the cost of the whole will be under 60,0001. This work was commenced in May of last year, and is now so far finished that it will be ready for opening in October. It was principally designed by Mr. Alfred a G n i d i es i the res engineerrespect to th ofe materialthe S ou t 1 of a w n h p tcohn itD i o s c Dock Company,mpo scomposed— viz., viz brickwork with s tone co p in g s, is similar to the smaller " dock constructed here seven years since by Mr. Giles, and which has answered its purpose most admi rably. The difference in cost between a dock of this enormous magnitude built of brick and one of granite would be very great, and we learn that the Danish Go vernment are about to adopt the principle by construct. i n g a large dock at Copenhagen under the superintend ence of the same engineer. WOMEN OF GREAT BRITAIN.—There are 359,969 old maids (above 40 years of age) in Great Britain. There are 1,407,225 spinsters between 20 and 40, and 1,413,912 bachelors of the same age. In the list of the occupations of women there are 83 authoresses, 18 editors or public writers, 643 actresses, 135 danseuses, 16 equestrians. Of the female domestics no less. than 675,311 are entered under the denomination of " general servants." Of the higher class of servants the house maids are more numerous than the cooks, the former being 55,935 and the latter only 43,806, and there are above 50,000 " houekeepers," and nearly 40,000 nurses. The charwomen are no less than 55,423 in nuf - eber.— Census Report. THE WESTERN FISHERIES. --The mackerel fishermen on the south coast of Devonshire have been unusually successful during the past week in their take of fish. On Tuesday last the Dawlish and Topsham mackerel boats, with three seines, caught upwards of 60,000 re markably fine fish in one haul, which were speedily dis posed of at prices varying from 4s. 6d. to ss. per hundred. The pilchard fishery has also commenced in the west, and large numbers have b ee n caught in Torbay, B r i g h am , and along the Teignmouth coast.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Shannon, arrived this morning with the usual mails, 83 passengers, and 738,501 dollars in specie. Tie Africa sailed from New York at 2.34 p.m. on the 9th inst. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic ar rived at New York on the sth, and the Arabia on the Bth inst., from hence. The Hansa, from Bre men, arrived on the 6th at New York. The steam-ship Star of the West arrived on the 7th at New York, with dates from California to July 15, and 663,875 dols. in specie. Amongst the passengers, per the Africa, were Mr. Peiscoto, the Brazilian Secretary of Legation at Washington, lady, child, and suite. The Senate and House of Representatives ad journed on the 7th until the first Monday in De cember, without appropriating the seven millions of dollars asked for by President Pierce to operate with Spain about Cuba. Under the head or " Mr. Borland's Draft Pro tested," the New York Herald says : When Mr. Borland made his demonstration in San Juan he organised a force of returning Californians "to protect," as he said, the property of the Transit Com pany. Mr. Fabens, the commercial agent, borrowed money of the people of San Juan to pay those men. Of Mr. Wood, one of the Americans whose property was destroyed by Hollins, he borrowed 1,000 dollars, giving a draft on the government of Washington for the amount. This draft was presented yesterday, and protested, the Government refusing to pay. Between American, Eng ish, French, and Nicaraguan claims, the brilliant exploit at San Juan is likely to cost the country some millions. The French Minister, it is said, has made a claim of some 600,000 dols. on behalf of French subjects. A despatch from New Orleans, dated August 5, says : A destructive fire broke out here at noon to-day, in Tchoupitoulas-street, and spread with great rapidity to Foucher, Lafayette, and Magazine-streets, destroying many stores and a large quantity of provisions and naval stores. The principal sufferers are Messrs. Converse and Co., W. S. Wright, E. J. Hart, and others. Their losses are mostly covered by insurance. The total loss is estimated at 1,000,000 dohs. A' destructive fire occurred at San Francisco on the morning of the 11th of July. About sixty-five houses were destroyed, and the loss is estimated at, a ut 225,000 dols. The whole tract burned, over was built of wood on piles. The tide was out at the time, and the fact that the water being about twelve feet below the street,i?.nd very shal low, prevented the firemen from extinguishing the fire sooner. The town of Columbia, in Toulmine county, was burned down on the morning of the 11th July. The loss is estimated at 500,000 dols. The town of Minesota, in Nevada county, was burned down, excepting three houses, on the Bth July. Loss estimated at 52,003 dols. Fourteen hundred acres of wheat were burned in Suisun and Vaca valleys ofis the 7th July. Four hundred acres of wheat were burned at San Bernardino on the 28t11 . June. Twelve buildings in Sonora were burned in a con flagration on the night of the 3d July. The low prices of farming produce in California press severely on the tillers of the soil, particularly those who have had a number of hired servants. The editor of the California Farmer says that millions of bushels of potatoes will rot in Califor nia this year for want of consumers. The inhabitants of San Juan (Greytown) have commenced rebuilding their town, but 'most of the iufluential men have left for other places. The Cyane left Greytown on the 18th ult. for Pehsacola, via Navy Bay. New York papers say that immediately after her departure Commander Jolley, of the British brig Bermuda, proclaimed the town under martial law, and established a blockade of the port. The English ship of war Espiegle holds Punta Arenas, and her commander says the Point is a part of San Juan, and he will hold it as security until something can be arranged between the two Governments. The following are the proclamations said to have been issued by Lieut. Jolly : PROCLAMATION.-(COPY.) In consequence of the non-existence of all civil autho rity in this city of Greytown (caused by the late out fl ra e), I being cha rge d, as f ax as my power extends, i wi the protecti on o f li ves an d property, do hereby pro cla n the city and territory of Greytown, as described bytits constitution, under " martial law." qeven under my hand on board her Majesty's schooner Bermuda, at Greytown, Mosquito, this 18th day of July, 1853. A. D. JOLLY, Lieutenant and Commander. PROCLAMATION. —(COPY. It having been brought to my notice that in eonse quince of the late cruel outrage committed by the United States ship Cyane, that many depredations and thefts have been committed on the property necessarily left unguarded, I hereby proclaim that any person brought before me with sufficient proof of having committed such thefts or depredations, shall be severely flogged an board her Britannic Majesty's ship Bermuda, under my command. Given on hoard her Britannic Majesty's ship Bermuda at Greytown, this 18th day of July 1854. A. D. JOLLY, Lieutenant Commanding. The San Francisco Herald, in noting the falling off in the shipments of gold dust for the first six months of the year as compared with the corres ponding period last year amounting to 4,263,971 dols. less, remarks : Our mines have unquestionably yielded more abun dantly the present year than last, and this diminution in the shipment of gold must result from some other cause than a falling off in the reduction of the precious metal. A variety of causes have operated to diminish the exports. We have imported less front abroad paid much lower prices than ever before, and the consequence is, have less to send out of the country to pay our debts. Leaving out of view the sums transmitted by residents in California for the support of their families and friends at the East, it is evident that our citizens would only send abroad such an amount of gold as would pay for what they itnpert. If they imported nothing, they would export no gold, although the mines might be yielding infinitely better than ever. The shipments of gold dust, therefore, must not be taken as an unvarying criterion of the product of the mines. We have now a mint of our own in constant operation, and by means of its agency the surplus of gold dust over and above the amount required for export, being converted into coin, and added to the circulation of the state. We find, therefore, the falling off in the shipments of gold, an evidence of our prosperity rather than an indication, as several of the journals at the East are disposed to regard it, of the exhaustion of our gold fields. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORE, AUGUST 9. The stock and money markets are depressed more than at any period during the last eighteen months. There is great difficulty in negotiating any other than first class paper outside the banks. Foreign exchange is firm, and the transactions in ster liny bills have been large.

ABD-EL-KADER.—A letter from Broussa, 26th ult., in the Moniteur, says :—" The Emir Abd-el-Bader shows great anxiety to be acquainted with everything connected with the Eastern question, and takes great plea sure in reading in th e jo urna l s o f Europe and of C o nstantinople all that is written on this subject. He also follows up on the map all the movements of the allied armies and of the Russians from the commencement of hostilities. The Emir loudly extols the Emperor Napoleon for the support he has given to the Sultan e u nt ke o dh f and to the great nation of Islamism, and feels convinced that the means at the disposal of France and England will be more than sufficient to reduce the ambition of Russia to reason. ec D xop e n s rv i e r es o rs u sea s dti o oa f nw e w e is e hh i i n cto g tranquillity and happiness succeed the misfortunes which now afflict Turkey, he has confidence in the enlightened and kind intentions which animate the Governm ent the Emperor.
