DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle (totnpany held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security for an adv.inee, 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 chief evidence turne noon the question as to the degree of intemperance that hail been exhibited, and the resu't was, that a verdict was give_n against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a str:king illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies un ler the present system, and shoes that the only mode by witch absolute security rem be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of proteeting them selves In every case by due tequirtes before the grantin: f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded front raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to he 'diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to lie able tiYguare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The 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 he the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Titnes, July 11, 1850.

ATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, the LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of 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: — Daring the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for Mt.—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 June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop 'sa!s were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 64.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 65. gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the canmencement of the Company to the let of June last, assuran -es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. Gd., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d.

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 irons their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage ,of disease they dissipate it altogether ; if In a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.—The splendid entertainment given some time ago by the Lord Mayor of London to the chief. 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 tic Lord Mayor of York to the head of the London Corporation, at which Prince Albert nod many distinguished indivi duals will be present; a:icl to-day the people of this town of all classes are in a state of high excitement in con sequence of a visit from the Lcrd Mayor and Sheriffs of the city of London, on thu invitation i f the Major of Southampton, who is to entertain them at a grand banquet this evening at th-t town•liali. From an early hour 'llia morning people have been flocking into the town from the neighbouring districts, a large lomat er having also be n conveyed from the metropolis -by a spo cial excursion train, and the streets have been thronged with eager gazers at the preparations made in all goer ters to celebrate the occasion. The tants generally hare certainly determiued to second the efforts of their chief magistrate to do honour to his guests, and a more complimentary display of public gratificationcciald scarcely have been manifested in welcome of a royal visitor. Along the High-street and far some distance beyond the Bargate, on the northern road, flags of almost every nation and description, 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 breeze. 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, attendedtby his secretary, chaplain, sword-bearer, and officers of state, with the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, arrived at the Bishops toke 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. Alter 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 had 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 in s i gu i a e ft office. Two horsemen, bearing banners, on which were emblazoned 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 proceede I through several streets in St. Mary's parish to White's Royal York Hotel above the Bar. The procession reached the hotel at five o'clock, having occupied two hours and a half in its progress. The banquet takes place at six o'clock. The Town-hall, in which the banquet will take place, has recently undergone considerable alterations and im provemonts, on the suggestion of Mr. Richard Andrews, the present mayor, which have adapted it to the in creased business and demands of the town. Preprations have been made f .r illuminating the ex terior of the Bargate; abd the York Hotel, with the houses of the Mayor and of sevtra,l other inhshitants, will also be illuminated in the evening. There will also be a display of firewotki in the Houndwoll. Amongst the personages invited to meet the Lord May , r, and who have signified their intention to be present, are—Lord Palmerston, th e Solicitor-General, the Lord M tyor of Dublin, M.P,, Lori Dudley Coutts Stuart, Lord George Le.inox, Hon. Dutton. the Dean of Winchester, Sir Edward Butler, Sir John Barker Mill, Mr. Willcox, Sir John Freestone, M.l'., Mr. Hutchins, M.P., the Mayors of Northampton, Nen ark, Cambridge, Hertfor,l, Portsmouth, Winchester, Romsey, Lymington, Chri-tchurch, Newport, Yarmouth, Sslishury, and Basingstoke, Mr. John Fleming, &c. The Lord Provost of E iinburgh 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 then . 3 to be absent from their official duties. CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST - A SOLICITOR. Yesterday Mr. H. Blackhurbt, solicitor, of Preston, wbo was remanded on Wednesday last upon a charge of having forged a codicil to the will of his late wife, was brought up at the Town-ball, Preston, for further exa mination. John Thompson. of Floghton-lane, near Blackburn, deposed to having hal a conversation with Mrs. Black burst a short time previous to her death, when she told him that she had left the interest of her landed estate to her husband; 30/. a year to her sister, Mrs. Webster; and 10s. a weak to Mary Thompson. She also a )(led that after the payment of a few legacies, her personal estate would go to Glasgow. Diary Ann Kerr Miller, of Glasgow, said she bad boen introduced to Mrs. Blackhurst a few weeks previous to her death. Mrs. Blackhurst told her that ahe had in herited her property through her late husban , l, who was a Glasgow merchant, and that she intended it to go again to Glasgow, to endow a school. She said she had made a Is id to that effect, leaving Mr. Blackhurst 2,0001. Mrs. Blackhurst wished witn ess to cal l upo n t h e L or d Provost of Glasgow and inf orm h i m t h at h er (M rs. Blackhurst'ai) will was not altered, and requeving 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 bad been requested to stale by Mrs. Blackhurst. This was the whole of the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Seger, barrister, addressed the Court for the de fence, contending that the case 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 magistrates had decided upon sending the case for trial at tho assizes. Mr. Segar applied for the prisoner to be allowed to be l c h a t r e t f h u es eLd theiser application poul winter assizes. and l a rhgee was o ncommitted t f l o ) e r Bench RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

On his way he drank deeply at different win e sh op s, and to g et ri d o f the slumber which oppressed him lie lighted his pip e . That, however, made him rather mo r e sleepy. On reachin g th e Boulevard he was aroused by cries of " ire ! fire !" and was drazged from his seat by the bystanders. A spark from his pipe nad 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 all that remained of the vehicle were the springs and other tronwork.—Goi gnan i , s Messenger.

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 carrel 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. Halm-, 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. Finchsm 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 411 other slip•. 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 jetiner at his residence to the officers of the establishment and a select party of friends. To- lay 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, Bart., sailed this morning for Woolwich, to be paid off. Dauntless screw-frigate, Captain E. P. Halsted, has bad her complement increased from 250 to 270; but looking to her great armament and to her even compare• tively light masts and yards, we do not think it likely that she could ♦ery speedily get her complement of blue jackets, if the Admiralty were to order her the comple ment of the Thetis—namely, 340. We feel assured that on their Lordships' visit to this ship at Port month she will be ordered to bo 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. Ex SMINATION OF Xi IDSILIPMEN.— A. new Admiralty regulation has come into force since the first of the present month, with respect to the examination of mid shipinen. 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 the examining officer to that effect; and no other officer will in future be allowed to pass fur the rank cf lieutenant, unless he has served a period of tiro yearsfrom the date of his cer tificate.

PRINCE ALBERT'S BIRTHDAY.—The royal standard was hoisted et the Dockyard, the Rlyal Arlin al, 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, Atm. 26.—Tt e Board of Admiralty rid a visit to the dock and victualling-yards to-day, 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 Hill 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 Hon. Mr. Cowper. After going through their inquiries in the Victualling offices, they proceeded to the dockyard, attended by Sir Jolla 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 fo - ur o'clock the officers of each department were mustered and examined, and subsequently the mechanics and artisans assembled for a like purpose, and uader went a ri;id examination, after which their Lordships took leave of the gallant Captain-Superintendent, and retired thence on their way to town. THREEPENNY and FOURPENNY COINS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICIE7- 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 ? Wbere is the objection to an octa gon form ? It is as 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 YE:Axs AGO.—About nine years ago, as the Mary Scott, a Liverpool brig, laden with copper ore and a general cargo, an t having on board a large quantity of specie, was return ing from Valparaiso, she was run into, about dve miles east of Point Lynas, by an American ship called the Brooklyn, and the result was, that the Mary S co tt san k i n 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 n ear t o P o i nt 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.

Toe great aquatic gathering under this title yester day was, in every respect, of a most gratifying charac ter, and was mo,t materially calculated to promote a friendly feeling amongst aqustic gentlemen, and to re store the somew! a• languid condition of aquatics. The prop , sal had emanated from the lex Club, and was most cordially re-pondel to by several other metropoli tan gentlemen', clubs, who were all anxious to enter the list,; and so many excellent crew,, or so great a number has hardly er ever been seen upon the Thames. The Ariz .s wore really both e•legaut and valuable, consisting of wine-cups electro-plat-d. and the distance contested was from Chiswick to Petrie) -bridge. 14,1 Messrs. Frazer. Mee,om.

FOREST AND WATKINS. The scullers match for 351. aside between these men, which has created considerable interest at Greenwich, to which place both men belong, and various quarters below bridge, was contested yesterday, the distance being from Pitney-bridge to Mortlake. A steamer had be©n engaged for the occasion to accompany the race, which was literally crowded with company, and there away from him were avastnumber of small boats out owing to the in terest excited.

Mr. Neville's exertions in pursuit of the Roman remains have in some degree been repaid during the last few days. The excavators in the employ and under the personal direction of the lion. Gentleman have brought to view the remains of a singularly.formed villa. The site on which the discovery was made is in a field known as " Suukin Church Field," in the above parish. The disco very proves that a building of considerable importance once occupied the place, thus affording to the antiquary, &c., an opportunity to view what is seldom met with, as the foun dations, hypocaust, flues, &c., are of that rare character that cannot fail to gratify. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE RAILWAY. —The erection of the electric telegraph on this line was com menced yesterday (Monday), by Mr. Charles V. Walker, telegraph eng i neer to the South-Eastern Railway Company. The first pole was set up at the Red-hill Junction , by Mrs. C. V. Walker. On th e completion of this work, Reading, Guildford, Dorki ng , and Reigate, and intermediate stations, will have direct telegraphic communication with tho metro. polie. Ths Vest India mail steam-slip Clyde had arrived ' at Chqgres, after encountering a violent hurricane, during which her foretopmast and topgallantmast were shivered by lightning. Our accounts from Washington are of a very im portant character with regard to the slaviry ques tion, and state that the California Bill had received the formal sanction of the Legislature. A Bill esta blishing a territorial G,,vc,rnment in New :11Iexico had also passed. On the 6th instant President Fillmore address:d to the Houses of Congress a long and im portant Messsge on the question of New .Mexico, ac companied by an official letter from Mr. Webster, as Secretary of State, to the Governor of Texas, replyin g to that Minister's letter o n th e boundary dispute of Texas. 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 To, and guard New Mexico against the encroachments of Texas, until Congress !hull have decided the question of boundary. That question ho does not judge: it is enough for 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 Unioa to protect the people of the territory and confer on them the rights of American cifzens. 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 Now Mexiso on the part of Texas. At the same tim3 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. Tne 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 bo asked for the prevention of any re al 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 ployed by General Taylor, but otherwise there is no difference. The Message was received in the House with a great deal of bluster by the champions of the South; and the ultra s'avery party, finding itself embar rassed, held a caucuz, at which a committee of vigilance re ported a series of resolutions of a violent character, but, as it would appear, ❑o practical value." _ . . - - On the 9th the Senate approved by a majority the Bill introduced by Mr. Pierce, giving Texas 10,000,000 dolls. as indemnity, with a line altogether more favourable than that proposed by the Compro mise Bill. The formation of the Cabinet was completed, the War Department having been accepted by Mr. Con • rad, and the Secretaryship of the Interior by the Hon. Mr. M'Kennan. Some conversatio❑ had taken place i❑ 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 Figonier, the Portuguese Minister at Washington. Advices from Toronto of the 10th inst. report that on that day the Canadian 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 chaimb2r, the Itlembers pelting each other with hills. ' G-(o-ge Simpson, of the Huison's Bay Com pany, arrived at Luchine from a tour through the sof the company. Sir George brought no intelligence from the arctic regions relative to Sir .Lbri Franklin. Lieutenant Pollen, of tLe boat ex pedition along the north coast, had wintered at Great Slave Like, end would proceed in the summer to re new his explorati ms. Several new railway enter prises were on frot, ireended to facilitate trade wi►h the tar west of Canada. The details of the California news have come to hand. The following is an extract : " Affrirs were generally satis'aetory. San Francisco was rapidly recovering from the lat^ fire, and the build ings erected were mostly fire-prouf. Business was dull for the moment, but there was no doubt of its revisal as the season advanced. No further trouble had been ex perienced with the foreign miners, who refused to pay the taxes levied on them, and 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 ease in unheard of abundance, but the adventurers who set out wan dered vainly in search. The diggings generally mere not 3ielding much, the water being high in many places. A salt spring has been di.covered about fifteen miles west of Sonora, and near the Tuolomno 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 Sa❑ds had arrived at Panama from San Francisco, with 50,000/. in gold dust on freight. Havannah 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. COMNIERWAL INTELLIGENCE. KINGSTON, JULY 30. (From the Cordova Meicantile Intelligencer.) The near apprcach to the Ist of August has 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 comm( nee meat of the 3 ear. The sales during the past week were confined to very few articles; the particulars will be 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 rcutes of the Ito) al Mail Com pany's steamers. Representations to that effect, we are aware, are in course of preparation, and will perhaps be forwarded to New York by the Cherokee. Breed continues dull at our last quotations. Mackerel—There an immense stock on band, and but little demand. Holders ask 245., but the tr.de speak of only 18s. to 1:0• , . per barrel. Herrings are unsaleable, and even at 14s. per barrel cannot be moved. Alewives—ln addition to 400 barrels previously re ported. 500 barrels more have arrived from St. John's, New Brunswick; they are held for 18s., but the trade offer only 16i.. .. Codfial still sells at 15s, per cask and 18s. per box, but the trade, in expectation of new receipts, buy very sparingly at these rats a. Pork-100 barrels mess have changed hands at 765., and a few parcels soft mess have been moved at 745. The article continues in very rot:nitrate supply. Lumber—The market is very well supplied with whits pine; sales of which have beets 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 42e. to 44?. 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 61. to 1,. per 100:b. higher than last r, ported. Exchanges on New York—Merchants' bills are worth 3 per cent., 60 days' slght. Gold—American conimmda 2 per cent. premium. Columbian doubloons may be quoted at the Paine rate. Imports, from the 21st to the 29. h of July:— Flour, 518 barrels; meal, 260 barrels; codfish, 3C2 tierc,s, 173 box(s—tqual to 1,358 qu.n . talt; mackerel, 685 barrels; alewives, 238 bar:els; herr iugs, 125 b9aogost bar rels; NV.

The driver stopped the train, when the man was found to be quite stunned by the fall, and his ankles both dislocated.—Lynn Advertiser. GROUSE AT BALA.—TEe grousing season has come in under less auspicious prom' se than has been known for many years, and i•. is feared this beautiful species of game will soon become extinct. Two or three nights' frost in the #' month of May is supposed to be the immediate cause of this great fall off in the number of birds this year by the destruc• tion of the eggs when hAtching.— North, Chronkle. :MEER.
