The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security fOr an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chiet evidence tome' mina the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resWt was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 40/. interest from the date , *hen it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a strking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies tinter the present syste'r, and shots that the only mode by wh ch absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protesting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grAtitim f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the, full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by bolding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the pretest case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a 'lain, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were snore rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance, 'lllO very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

Copies of the Report of the last Annual Meeting will be forwarded, on application, to Solicitors, to whom Commission is allowed. ALEXAN DER ROBERTSON, Manager. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY". 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTiI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claim: , have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 'AM.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally Suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of Jane, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop ,sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. ltd.: of these 12 3, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. h. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurarres were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 128 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321; I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23990/. 16s. fid., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving , the yearly income on the ISt of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish-p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Partsis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab' e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy rictim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertain s a tear of ap :dying to a qualiffed physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking Or assis t tan he ce where alone it can be procured.

In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use I would not be without them on any account.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.—The splendid entertainment given some time ago by the Lord Mayor of Lawton to the chiefs of many of the provincial muni cipal corporations seems to have excited on the part of those functionaries a desire to reciprocate metropolitan hospitalities. In a few weeks an entertainment on a scale of great splendour will be given by the Lord Mayor of York to the head of the London Corporation, at which Prince Albert and many distinguished indivi duals will be present; and to-day the people of this town of all classes are in a state of hieh exciteineet in con sequence of a visit from the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the city of London, on the invitation of the afeyor 01 Southampton, who is to entertain them at a grand banquet this evening at the town-hall. From an earl) hour thi3 morning people have been flocking into the town from the neighbouring districts, a large number having also been conveyed from the metropolis by a ape cial excursion train, and the streets have been thronged with eager gazer s a t t h e preparations ma d e i u a ll guar tern to celebrate th e occas i on. The i ntim bi tan t s generally have certainly deser m i ue d to secon d t h e e ff o rt s of their chief magistrate to d o h on o ur to hi e guests , a nd a more complimentary display of public gratification couldscarcely have been manifested in welcome of *a royal visitor. Along the High -street and for some distance beyond the Bargate, on the northern road, flags of almost every nation and desctiption, and of every hue, among which, however, the union jack and British ensign largely pre dominate, are flaunting from the windows of many of the houses, or hang suspended by lines across the street. The royal standard is also flying on most of the public buildings, and the vessels in the docks and harbour are dressed in colours. The York , Hotel, where the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs have engaged apartments, and which possesses an extensive frontage ? is profusely and ele gantly decorated with evergreens, as also the house of the mayor and several Other private-residences. A large quantity of the same plants has. been expended in orna menting the outer front of the Bargate, and the two huge leaden lions which guard either side of the en trance are almost hidden in a perfect forest ;of laurel. The weather could not be more favourable, the oppres sive effects of a bright sunshine being counteracted by a brisk westerly b reeze . About noon the state carriages of the Sheriffs of London, which had been brought over by railway for the occasion, drove along the High-street on their way to the point at which the procession was to be formed, and the showy equipages, with the richly , decorated appointments, and the splendid liveries of the servants ' excited loud expressions of admiration from many of the popUlace, who are unused to such displays of civic grandeur. The Lord Mayor, attended by his secretary, chaplain, sword-bearer, and officers' of' state, with the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, arrived at the Bishopstoke station, which is about five miles from Southampton, soon after 1 o'clock, and were there received in. their robes of office by the Mayor, aldermen, and town coun cillors of Southampton, who had proceeded from the town in carriges to meet them. After lunching at the hotel at Bishopstoke the Mayor and corporation es corted the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London through Stoneham-park, the seat of Mr. John Fleming, to the entrance of the beautiful common belonging to the town, where a triumphal arch bad been erected. A procession was there formed, headed by a band of music, which was followed by the aldermen, common councilmen, sheriff, and the various officers of the corporation of Southampton, in carriages and on horseback. Next in order came the mayor of Southampton in a carriage and four, attended by his chaplain and the town-clerk, and accompanied by the insignia of his office. Two horsemen, bearing banners, on which were emblazsned the arms of the city of London, were followed by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London, in their several state carriages and attended by the usual officers. Then came the Lord Mayor's suite in carriages, many of the inhabitants in carriages and on horseback, among whom we observed Mr. Willcox, one of the Members for the borough, and the procession was closed, or rather continued, by various bodies or lodges of Freemasons, Foresters, Odd Fellows, and other similar associations, each body being headed by a band of music. It was cal culated that the procession extended for more than a mile and a half. The procession thus formed advanced from the com mon along the Avenue road, through the Bargate, down the High -street to the Royal pier and docks, where it turned, and passing along the Eastern quay proceeded through several streets in St. Mary's parish to Whitte's Royal York Hotel above the Bar. Tho procession reached the hotel at five o'clock, having occupied two hours and a half in its progress. Tho banquet takes place at six o'clock. The Town-hall, in which the banquet will take place, has reckntly undergone considerable alterations and im provements, on the suggestion of Mr. Richard Andrews, the present mayor , which have adapted it to th e in creased business and demand.; of the town. Preparations have been made fir illuminating the ex terior of the Bargate; and the York Hotel, with the houses of the Mayor and of several other inhabitants, will also be illuminated in the evening. There will also be a display of fireworks in the Iloundwell. Amongst the personages invited to meet the Lord Mayi,r, and who have signified their intention to be present, are—Lord Palmerston, the Solicitor- General, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, M.P., Lord Dudley Cuutts Stuart, Lord George Lennox, Hon. M. Dutton, the Dean of Winchester, Sir Edward Butler, Sir John Barker Mill, Mr. Willcox, M.P., S ir J o h n Freestone, M.P., Mr. Hutchins, M.P., the Mayors of Northampton, New ark, Cambridge, Hertford, Portsmouth, Winchester, Romsey, Lynaingtori, Christchurch, Newport, Yarmouth, Salisbury, and Basingstoke, Mr. John Fleming, &c. The Lord Provost of Eiiinburgh and the Lord Mayor of York have excused themselves on the ground that her Majesty's visit to Scotland on the 27th will render it impossible for them to be absent from their official duties. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR. Yesterday Mr. H. Blackhurbt, solicitor, of Preston, who was remanded on Wednesday last upon a charge of having forged a codicil to the will of his lute wife, was brought up at the Town•hall, Preston, for further exa mination. deposed to having had a conv ersa ti on with Mrs. Black burst a short time previous t o h er death, when she told John Thompson, him that she had left the int erest o f h e r landed estate to of Hoghton-lane, near Blackburn, her husband; 301. a year to her sister, Mrs. Webster; and 10s. a week to Mary Thompson. She also aided that after the payment of a few legacies, her personal estate would go to Glasgow. Mary Ann Kerr Miller, of Glasgow, said she bad been introduced to Mrs. Blackhurst a few weeks previous to her death. Mrs. Blackhurst told her that she bad in herited her property through her late husband, who was a Glasgow merchant, and t h at s h e i n t en ded it to go again to Glasgow, to enduw a sc h oo l. She said she had made a will to that effect, l eav i ng Mr. Blackhurst 2,000 1 . Mrs. Blackhurst wished w i tness to ca ll upon t h e L or d Provost. of Glasgow and i n f orm h i m t h at h er (Mrs. Blackhurst'..) will was not altered, and requesting him to write to Mr. Noble, her solicitor in Preston, re specting the property in case of her death. Witness saw Mr. Forbes, the town clerk of Glasgow, and stated to him all that she had been requested to state by Mrs. Blackburst. This was the whole of the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Seger, barrister, addressed the Court for the de fence, contending that the ease was not got up for the purpose of promoting the ends of justice, but to defeat the codicil. The Bench then retired, and after a consultation of about half an hour they returned into court, when the Mayor stated that the magistr a t es had dec id e d upon sending the case for trial at the assizes. Mr. Seger applied for the prisoner to be allowed to be at large upon bail, but the Bench refused the application and he was committed for trial at the Liverpool winter assizes. MARKETS.

A wag goner was employed to convey some furniture from a cot tage near Paris to the Fa ubour g Saint Germain. On hi, way he drank deeply at different wine shops, and to g e t rid of the slumber which oppressed him he hghted his pipe. That, however, made him rather more sleepy. On reaching th e Boulevard he was aroused b y cries of " l ire! fire !" and was dragged from his seat by the bystanders. A spark from his pipe had set fire to the straw, and the cart and all its con tents were in flames. All attempts to check the progress of the conflagration were vain, and soon i all that remained of the v e hicle were the springs and other ronwork.—Galignani's Messenger. It is now stated that the York and North Midland dividend will be 2s. 6d. per share, or nothing. If 2s. 6d. it is said that there will b e 1,403/..urplus to carry to the next half-yearnsfffrepath's irc vial, of NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Furioue, a new steam sloop on the paddle principle, on the design of Mr. Fineham, the master shipwright of this dockyard, was launched to-day in the presence of at least 10,000 spec tators, ashore and afloat, whom the beauty of the weather and the interest of the spectacle had drawn together. The •ersel was named by ►Miss Kennedy Erskine, niece of Lord Frederick Fitzelarvnce. The following are the principal dimensions of the vessel:— _ _ Ft. in. Length between the perpendiculars ... 206 0 Length of keel for tonnage ... ... 181 7 Breadth, extreme 36 6 Breadth for tonnage ... 36 0 Breadth moulded ... ... 35 4 Depth in hold ... ... 23 7 Burden in ton!, 0.

Spar deck 1 10-inch 40411 ... 85 „ 1 68-pounder 4040. ... 95 „ • 4 32-pounders 42 Main-deck 8 32-pounders 56 14 Her horse power will be 400, by Penn and Son. She is painted with a broad white streak with a black ribbon above, and has a white ribbon round the upper part of her gunwales; her figure-head being a very elaborately carved and gilded half-figure of a warrior in scale ar-. mour, the helmet surmounted with a furious flying dra gon—the figure has been much admired, as is the work of Mr. Millar, the artist.. Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott gave a sump tuous dejeuner to a large and distinguished party, in ho nour of the launch; and Mr. Fincham also, with his ac customed liberality, entertained, at an elegant lunch, the principal officers of the yard, and a numerous party of ladies and gentleman. The new slip from which the Furious was launched yesterday, and on which the Marlborough, 120, will be laid down immediately, is differently constructed from all other slips. The other slips and docks rest on an innumerable mass of piles, some of which are driven above forty-six feet into the blue clay forming the under strata of earth under the dockyard; but in this slip there are no piles, and the granite floor stands on a thick mass of concrete—the blue clay having been excavated, and a depth of concrete, sixteen feet in thickness, substituted. This appears to have formed a firm and steady founda tion, and the slip is as perfect as the day on which it was finished. Miss Erskine, in naming the vessel, drank " Success to the Furious, and may she add more laurels to the British navy, and long protect our gracious Sovereign," amidst the usual demonstrations of music and shouting. The Master Shipwright afterwards gave an elegant de jeainer at his residence to the officers of the establishment and a select party of friends. To-clay being Prince Albert's birthday, the fleet in commission here fired a royal salute at noon in honour of the occasion, the ships being dressed in mast-head flags. The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Sir Godfrey Webster, Bat., sailed this morning for Woolwich, to be paid off. Dauntless screw-frigate, Captain E. P. Halsted, has had her complement increased from 250 to 270; but looking to her great armament and to her even compara tively light masts and yards, we do not think it likely that she could very speedily get her complement of blue jackets. if the Admiralty were to order her the comple ment.of the, Thetis—namely, 340. We feel assared that on their Lordships' visit to this ship at Portsmonth she will be ordered to be converted into a real and efficient man of war—in masts, yards, and armament—and that their Lordships will avail themselves of her great caps • city and surplus displacement to get the most out of her in power as well as in appearance. EXAMINATION OF MIDSHIPMEN.—A new Admiralty regulation has ceme into force since the first of the present month, with respect to the examination of mid shipmen. Those midshipmen who have completed two years' service, and have passed the examination required by article 23, page 24, of the Admiralty Instructions, are to receive a certificate from he examining officer to that effect; and no other officer will in future bo allowed to pass for the rank of lieutenant, unless he has served a period of two years from the date of his cer tificate. THE SECOND FLAG SHIP AT THE PORTS.—T4IO Ad miralty have ordered the ordinary depots at the ports to be paid off on the 30J1 inst., and the newly nominated see-going ships to be commissioned on the 31st inst.. thu.:—At .Portsu3out't, the Illustrious. old 72 (mounting 10 guns), is to be relieved by the Britannia, 120; at Devoliport, the Agincourt, old 72 (mounting 10 guns), to be relieved by the St. George. 120; at Sheerness, the Wellington, old 72 (mounting 10 guns). to be relieved by the Monarch, 84; at Chatham, the Poictiers, old 72 (mounting 10 guns), to be relieved by the Cumberland, 70.

A steamer had been engaged for the occasion to accompany the race, which was literally crowded with company, and there were a V ast number of sm a ll b o ats out owing to the in terest excited. Watkins was freely backed at slight odds, and a good round sum depended upon the result. Preliminaries being settled, the men went to work. At the first Watkins had a trifle the best of the start, but it was only momentary, Forest drawing away from him immediately afterwards, and getting his boat clear off the Messrs. Searle's.

PRINCE ALBERT'S BIRTHDAY.—The royal standard was hoisted at the Dockyard, the Royal Arsenal, and on the flagstaff at the Garrison, in commemoration of the birthday of Prince Albert, and a royal salute was fired from the mortar-battery by a detachment of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Captain Pipon. DEPTFORD, AUG. 26.—The Board of Admiralty paid a visit to the dock and victualling -yards today, for the purpose of inspecting the different departments of that important establishment. Their Lordships arrived at one o'clock at the victual ling-yard entrance, and were received by Sir John fill the Captain-Superintendent. The board consisted of Sir Francis Baring, Bart. (the First Lord of the Admiralty), Rear-Admiral Berkeley. Captain Sir Charles Milne, Sir B. Walker, surveyor of the Navy, Colonel Green, and the lion. Mr. Cowper. After going through their inquiries in the Victualling .ffices. they proceeded to the dockyard, attended by Sir John hill, and examined the vessels minutely, those in the course of building, as well as the vessels under re pair, &c., and were highly satisfied with the results of their inquiries. At four o'clock the officers of each department were mustered and examined, and subsequently the mechanics and artisans a+sembled for a like purpose, and under went a rigid examination, after which their Lordships took leave of the gallant Captain-Superintendent, and retired thence on their way to town. THREEPENNY and FO URPENNY COINS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—A recent correspondent has done useful service to the public by calling attention to the increasing nui sance of two silver coins, so nearly alike in size and ap pearance as to be constantly given and taken promiscu ously, no matter whether by design or accident. As a large issue of threepenny pieces is preparing at the Mint, the evil will soon be much increased, unless the fourpence is withdrawn, which it might very well be. The only apparent advantage of two such small coins is to put facilities for cheating into the hands of omnibus conductors ; and this is practised to a very great ex tent. Allow me to suggest that, if both coins are to be continued, one of them should be so distinct in form as not to be mistaken for the other. Is it essential to a coin to be round ? Where is the objection to an octa gon form ? It is es easily stamped as a round piece of metal, and this would render mistake and deception im possible. A better remedy for this and the other in conveniences of our present money system would be the carrying out of the decimal plan of coinage, of the many advantages of which the public at present have scarcely an idea. Aug. 24, 1850. A SUFFERER. SINGULAR DISCOVERY or A BRIG SUNK NINE Traits Ac;o.—About nine years ago, as the Mary Scott, a Liverpool brig, laden with copper ore and a general cargo, and having on board a large quantity of specie, was return ing from Valparaiso, she was run into, about five miles east of Poin , . Lynas; by an American ship called the Brooklyn, and the result was, that the Mary Scott sank in deep water, and six or seven persons on board perished. Some time after wards the brig Parana, outward bound for Montreal, was run down by the Iron Duke, and sank between Ormshead and Point Lynas. No traces of either vessel were discoverable until about three weeks ago, when a Liverpool fisherman, named Richard Price,. whilst trolling near to Point Lynas, found that his net had become entangled to something be neath the surface of the water, and, on examination, disco vered that it had caught in the wreck of a vessel. It is not positively known with which of the brigs the net became en tangled; but it is supposed that it is the Mary Scott; and there is little doubt that it is with one of the vessels, as no others are known to have gone down of late years in that locality. The Liverpool Steam Tug Company have sent out a number of divers to the place where the ship was disco vered ; but in consequence of the rough state of the weather, have not yet been able to commence opeatiolL7,7Lirerpool ~~ 1 -4/ 4 // de WZ - AMERICAN NEWS, [PRICE SD. The Message is lengthy ; we therefore extract the following summary of it from a New York paper : " Both these documents have elicited the warm appro bation of the whole country, with the exception of the portions which are red hot with slavery fanaticism. The President shows that his duty requires him to maintain the status quo, and guard New Mexico against the encroachments of Texas, until Congress shall have decided the question of boundary. That question he does not judge: it is enough fur him to know that Texas never had possession of New Mexico, that the United States conquered it, and that the treaty of peace with Mexico bound the Union to protect the people of the territory and confer on them the rights of American citizens. Moreover, the United States have claims upon the unoccupied lands in the territory which are not consistent with its abandonment to Texas, and on these grounds, the President in firm, yet temperate. language announces his determination to prevent and suppress any hostile demonstrations against New Mexico on the part of Texas. At the same time he urges upon Congress the duty and necessity of promptly settling the boundary question and putting a peaceful end to the contest. This recommendation came before the passage of the Boundary Bill in the Senate, and, doubtless, helped it forward. The letter of Mr. Webster to Governor Bell contains a masterly argument of the question, and is every way worthy the reputation of its author. It is indisputable that the new Administration has most cre ditably met the wants of the crisis, and done all that could be asked for the prevention of any real trouble that may have been threatened in the south-west. Its policy is also in perfect accordance with that pursued by the previous Executive; the tone of President Fillmore's Message is a little more diplomatic, and its language less condensed and positive than would have been em pleyed by General Taylor, but otherwise there is no difference. The Message was received in the louse with a great deal of bluster by the champions of the South; and the ultra s'avery party, finding itself embar rassed, held a caucus, at which a committee of vigilance reported a series of resolutions of a violent character, but, as it would appear, no practical value." On the 9th the Senate approved by a majority the Biil introduced by Mr. Pierce, giving Texas 10,000,000 dolls. as indemnity, with a line altogether wore tavourabla than that proposed by the Compro mise Bill. The formation of the Cabinet was completed, the War Department having bee❑ acePpted by Mr. Con • rad, and the Secretaryship of the Interior by the Hon. Mr. M'Kennan. Some conversation had taken place in Congress re lative to the formation of a steam line between New York and Mexico. It is reported that the President had received in formation of another expedition against Cuba being projected; stringent precautions had consequently been adopted. The dispute relative to the Portuguese indemnity had assumed a more favourable aspect, negotiations having been entered into with Senhor de ngonier, the Portuguese Minister at Washington. Advices from Toronto of the 10th inst. report that on that day the Clnadian Parliament had been pro rogued by the Governor. General in person. His Excellency delivered a long speech, assenting to the various Bills, and congratulating the Members on their loyalty, &c. Previously a disgraceful scene hal been witnessed in the chamb-!r, the Members pelting each other with Bills. Sir George Simpson, of the Hulson's Bay Com pany, arrived at L,ichine from a tour through the territories of the company. Sir George brought no intellivence from the arctic regions relative to Sir John Franklin. Lieutenant Pollen, of the boat ex pedition along the north co,st, had wintered at Great Slave Lske, und would proceed i❑ the summer to re new his explorations. Several new railway enter prises were on foot, intended to facilitate trade with the far west of Canada. The details of the California news have come to hand. The following is an extract : " Affairs ware generally satisiactory. San Francisco was rapidly recovering from the late fire, and the build ings erected were mostly fire-proof. Business was dull for the moment, but there was no doubt of its revival as the season advanced. No further trouble had been ex• perienced with the foreign miners, who refused to pay the taxes levied o❑ them, athl the people agreed that they were right. The collectors no longer endeavoured to enforce payment. A good deal of complaint is made at the delay of Congress; but the assertion that California would set up for herself independent of the United States, is repelled in public meetings and by several of the journals. A good deal of excitement had been caused by a report at Marysville and Sacramento City of a place called Gold Lake, where gold could be procured with ea►e in unheard of abundance, but the adventurers who set out wan dered vainly in era-ch. The diggings generally were not yielding much, the water being high in many places. A salt spring has been discovered about fifteen miles west of Sonora, and near the Tuolomne River. Several murders have been committed in various diggings, but otherwise good order has been maintained. Coal of good quality had been found in California and Oregon. The population of the State was reckoned at 121,000. The health of the country was generally good." The screw steam-ship Sarah Sands had arrived at Panama from San Francisco, with 50,0001. in gold dust on freight. llavannah accounts mention that on the 6th inst. seven of the American prisoners were to be released ; the remaining three had been sentenced to eight years in a chain gang. JAMAICA. COMMERLIA. L INTELLIGENCE. KINGSTON, JULY 30. (From the Cordova 211ocantileIntelligences.) The near appreuch to the Ist of August hus not pro duced any activity in the market, and business is quite as dull at this season, which was formerly marked as one of festivity and rejoicing, as it has been since the commencement of the year. _ The sales during the past week were confined to very few articles; the particulars will by found below, We may mention that strenuous efforts are being made here to get the owners of the American line of steamers at present in communication with this island to supply the deficiency of intercourse with St. Jago de Cuba, &c., created by the altered routes of the Royal Mail Com pany's steamers. Representations to that effQct, we are aware, are in course of preparation, and will perhaps be forwarded to New York by the Cherokee. Bread continues dull at our last quotations. Mackerel—There au immense stock on hand, and but little dt mend. Holders ask 245., bat the trade speak of only 18i. to 10 . per barrel. Herrings are unsaleable, and even at 14s. per barrel cannot be moved. Alewives—ln addition to 400 barrels previously re ported, 50U barrels more have arrived from St. John's, New Brunswick; they are held for 18s., but the trade offer only I6s. Codfish still sells at 15s. per cask and 18s. per box, but the trade, in expectation of new receipts, buy very sparingly at these rates. Pork-100 barrels mess have changed hands at 761., and a few parcels soft mess have been moved at 745. The article continues in very moderate supply. Lumber—The market is very well supplied with white pine; sales of which have bees made at 100 s. per thou sand feet. There is still a very good demand. Beef—American " family" is getting scarce. Last sales were at 425. to 445. per half-barrel. Rum has been sold at ls. 6d. per gallon, proof 21, for export, and some sales are reported at a lower figure. Sugar has slightly advanced; rates for the better sorts ruling at 6d. to per 1001 b. higher than last reported. Exchanges on New York—Merchants' bills aro worth 3 per cent., 60 days' sight. Gold—American commands 2 per cent, premium. Columbian doubloons may be quoted at the same rate. Imports, from the 21st to the 29th of July:— Flour, 518 barrels; meal, 260 barrels; codfish, 302 tierc , s, 173 boxes—equal to 1,35 S quintals; mackerel, 685 barrel.; alewives, 238 barrels; herrings, 125 bar rels; W.

[A summary of the following appeared in our paper of yesterday LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. By the Royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Harrison, which arrived in the Mersey early this • 1 morning, we have advices from New York by tele graph riii Halifax to the 16th inst. The Canada has brought iO,OOOl. in silver and 10,0001. in gold on freight. The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Stone, arrived at Beaton on the morning of the Bth instant. The American steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, reached New York on the 11th inst., after a fine run of 11 days 10 hours and 40 minutes. The royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain RY- He, arrived at New York on the afternoon of the 16th instant. The West India mail steam-ship Clyde had arrived at Chagres, after encountering a iolent hurricane, during which her foretupmast and topgallantnuart were shivered by lightning. Our accounts from Washington are of a very im portant character with regard to the Ornery ques tion, and state that the California Bill had received the formal sanction of the Legislature. A Bill esta blishing a territorial Government in New Mexico had also passed. On the Gth instant President Fillmore addressed to the Houses of Congress a long and im portant Message on the question of New Mexico, ac companied by an official letter from Mr. Wwbster, as Secretary of State, to the Governor of Texas, replying to that Minister's letter on the boundary dispute of Texas. ♦UG ;MBER.
