" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. 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. Ihe chief evidence turne upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the restf t 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 when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of proteltingthem selves in ev, ry case by due inquiries before the granting f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can properly invalidate a claim, 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 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 be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—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 Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding, Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45 ; 125/. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3e. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro. ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 62., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 151. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/., but 1,183/. I Is. 102. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their busineis on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etaug, 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 Arelibistr , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Par:sis, 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 me,nt, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

This work contains an accurate and complete account • of the Anatomy and Physi:logy of the Reproductive Organs. It un fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessit ul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualify d physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, t ut erro neously entertained that those complaints are beyond the ra soh of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistan , 'e where alone it can be •procural.

SOUTIIAPIPTON, MONDAY EVENING.—Tha splendid entertainment given some time ago by the Lord Mayor of London 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 ar.d many distinguished indivi duals will be present; and to-day the people of this town of all classes are in a state of hiu'h excitement in con sequence of a visit from th e Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the city of London, on the invitation of the Mayor of Southampton, who is to entertain them at a grand banquet this evening at the town-hall. From an early hour this 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. vial excursion train, and the streets have been thronged with eager gazsrs at the preparations made in all quar ters to celebrate the occasion. The inhabitants generally have certainly determined to second the efforts of their chief magistrate to do honour to his guests, and a more , complimentary display of public gratification could scarcely 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 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 enkaged'apartments, and which possesses an extensive frontage, is profusely and ele gantly decorated wit's 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 Bargatea and the two huge leaden lions which guard either side of the en trance are almost hidden in a perfect forest fof laurel. The weather could not be more ferourabla, 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 a d m i ra ti on f rom many of the populace, who are uaused 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 I 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 ea , riges to meet them. Ater lunching at the hotel at BiAopstoke the Mayor and corporation es corted the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London through Stoneham-park, the seat of Mr. John Fleming, to th e 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 insignia of his office. Two horsemen, bearing banners, on which were emblsa !nod the arias cf the city of Londor, were followed by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London, in their several state carriages and attended by the usual efficns. 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 clo - ed, or rather continued, by various bodies or lodges of Freemasons, Foresters, Odd Fellows, and other similar associations, each body being beaded 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 White's Royal Yolk 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 provements, on the suggestion of Mr. Richard Andrews, the present mayor, which have adapted it to the in creased business and demands of the town. Preparations have been made for 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 Houndwell. Amongst the personages invited to meet the Lord Mayor, and who have signified their intention to be present, are—Lord Palmerston, the Solicitor-General, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, M.P., Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, Lord George Lennox, Hon. Dutton, the Dean of Winchester, Sir Edward Butler, Sir John Barker Mill, Mr. Willcox, M.P., Sir John Freestone, M.P., Mr. Hutchins, M.P., the Mayors of Northampton, New ark, Cambridge, Hertford, Portsmouth, Winchester, Roomy, Lymington, Christchurch, Newport, Yarmouth, Salisbury, and Basingstoke, Mr. John Fleming, &e. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh and the Lord Mayor of York have excused themselves on the grou nd 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. Blackhurst, solicitor, of Preston, wbo was remanded on Wednesday last upon a charga 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 Efoghton-lane, near Blackburn, deposed to having had 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; 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 Aura Kerr Miller, of Glasgow, said she had been introduced to Mrs. Blackhurst a few weeks previous to her death. Mrs. Blackhurst told her that elle had in herited her property through her late husbairl, 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 will to that effect, leaving Mr. Blackhurst 2,000/. Mrs. Blackhurst wished witness to call upon the I.lrd Provost of Glasgow and inform him that her (Mrs. Blackhurst's) 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. 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 fJr 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 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. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Furious, a new steam sloop on the paddle principle, on the design of Mr. Flimflam, 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 vessel was named by Miss Kennedy Er.kine, niece of Lord Frederick Fitzclarence. 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 bold ... 23 7 Burden in ton', O.M. ... 1,286 86-94 Tons. Burden by new measurement ... 1,365 Deduct for engine-room ... ... 561 Actual tonnage ... ... ... 804 Ft. in. Draught of water with fore ... 8. 7 bilge-ways on ... aft ... ... 9 9 On her main-deek she has 16 ports, 8 before the paddle-shaft, and 8 abaft it, and she will carry the fol lowing armament, viz.:— . cwt. Spar deck 1 10-inch GOO ••• 85 „ 1 68-pounder ... ... 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. Hillier, the artist. Rear-Admiral Superintendent Pres3ott gave a sump tuous dejeuner to a large and distinguished party, in ho nour of the launch; and Mr. Fiucham 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. s u b s ti u t e d. 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 Muster 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-he:d The Tartarus steatn•vessel, Lieutenant Sir Godfcey Webster, Wirt., tailed this morning for Woolwich, to be pail 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 if blue jackets, if the Admiralty were to order her the comple ment of the Thetis—namely, 340. We feel at 'Jared that on their Lordships' visit to this ship at Port , roonth she will be ordered to be converted into a real and efficient man of war—in masts, yards, and armament-- - --and that their Llrdships will avail themselves of her great capa city, and surplus displacement to get the most out of her in power as well as in appearance. EXAMINATION OF MIDSUIPMEN.- . -A now Admiralty regulation has come 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 the examining officer to that effect; and no other officer will in future be 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.—The Ad miralty have ordered the ordinary depots at the porta to be paid off on the 30th inst., and the newly nominated sea-going ships to be commissioned on the 31st lost., thue :—At Portsmouth, the Illustrious, old 72 (mounting 10 guns), is to be relieved by the Britannia, 120; at Devonport, 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.

The great aquatic gathering under this title yester day was, in every respect, of a most gratifying charac ter, and was most materially calculated to promote a friendly feeling amongst aquatic gentlemen, and to re store the somewl so languid condition of aquatics. The proposal had emanated from the Lox Club, and was most cordially responded to by several other metropoli tan gentlemen's clubs, who were all anxious to enter the lists; and so many excellent crews, or so great a number has hardly or ever been seen upon the Thames. The prizes were really both elegant and valuable, consisting of wine-cups electro-plated, and the distance contested was from Chiswick to Putney-bridge. Red—Messrs.

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 Prirce 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.—The B, ard of Admiralty paid a visit to the dock and victualling-yards today, for the purpose of inspecting the different dep%rtments of that important establishment. i rbeir 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 Barinz, Bart. (the First Lord of the Admiralty), Rear-Admiral Berkeley, Captain Sir Charles Milne, Sir B. Walker, surveyor of the Navy, Camel Green, and the lion. Mr. Cowper. After going through their inquiries in the Victualling offices, 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 wero highly satisSed 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 assembled for a like purpose, and under went a rigid examination, after which their Lordships took leave of the gallant Captain-Superintcndenf, 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 giveu 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 bands 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 farm 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 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 OF A BRIG SUNK N INE YEARS AGO.—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 Point Lynas, by an American ship called the Brooklyn and the result was, that the Mary Scltt 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 Ormahead 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 Lynes, found that his net had become entangled to something be neath the surface of the water, and, on examination, disco vered that it bad 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 ont 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 operations.— Liverpool 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 Patney-bridge to Mortlake. A steamer had been engaged for the occasion to accompany the race, which was literally crowded with company, and there were a vast number of small .boats 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 beat of the start, but it was only momentary, Forest drawing away from him i mme di a t e ly afterwards, and getting his boat clear off the Messrs. Searle's. Watkins rowed gallantly and well, but Forest continued to gain, and ultimately won by seven or eight lengths. RICHMOND ROYAL REGATTA. The above regatta, in honour of Prince Albert's natal day, also came oti yesterday, and was, as usual, most excellently conducted and contested. The race was with 18 free watormen, in four heats. First Heat—Richard Messam and George Howard (White), 1 ; George Borley and George Platt, sen. (Blue), 0 ; Charles Godfrey and James Godfrey (Red), 0. Second Heat—Thomas Mackenney and Robert Trow bridge (Red), 1; William Kemp and David Edwards (Blue), 0; William New and Henry Rigby (White), 0. Third Heat —George Platt and William Bell (White), 1; Charles Jackson and Henry Messam (Red), 0; John Jackson and Charles Cripp (Blue), 0. Fourth Heat—Mackenney and Trowbridge (White), 1 ; Platt and Bell (Red), 2 ; Messam and Howard (Blue), 0. Meckenney and partner took the lead, and kept it through, waited upon closely to the finish by the seoJud pair. Won by three lengths. ISCOVERIC OF A ROMAN VILLA AT HADSTOCE.— The Hon. 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 Hon. 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 " Suakin Church Field," in the above parish. The disco very prove s t h at 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 fowl- - dations, hypocaust, &c , are of that rare character that cannot fail to gratify. • READING, GUILDFORD, AID REIGATE RAILWAY. —The erection of the electric telegraph on this line was com menced yesterd a y (M onday), by Mr. Charles V.

By the Royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Harrison, which arrived in the Mersey early thii morning, we have advices from New York by tele graph via Halifax to the 16th inst. - The Canada has brought 50,000/. in silver and 10,0001. in gold on freight. The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Stone, arrived at Boston 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 houra and 40 minutes. The royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Ry rie, 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 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 slavery 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 6th 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. Wsbster, as Secretary of State, to the Governor of Texas, replying to that Minister's letter on the b o undary 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 quo, and guard New Mexico against the encroachments of Texas, until Congress shell 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 confor on them the rights of American cit:aans. Moreover, the United States have claims upon the unoc cu pi e d 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 set:ling the boundary question and putting a peacef ul 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. Wobster to Governor Ball 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 ere diaibly met the wants of the crisis, and done all that could be asked for the prevention of any Taal trouble that may have been threatened in the south-west. Its policy is also in perfect accordance ,vith that pursued by the previous Executive; the tone of President Fillmora's Meosago is a little more diplomatic, and its language less condensed and positive than would have bean ern- , played by General Taylor, but otherwioe there is no difference. The Message was received in th e H ous e with a great deal of bluster by the champions of the South; and the ultra s'avcry 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 appaar, no practical value." . _ O❑ the 9th the Senate approved by a majority the Bill intro luced by Mr. Pierce, giving Texas 10,000,000 1)113. as indemnity, with a line altogether more favour:ll& than that proposed by the Compro mise Bill. The fornntion 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 conversation had taken place in Congresg 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 hills, and congratulating the Members on their loyalty, &c. Previously a disgraceful scene hal been witnessed in the chamber, the Members pelting each other with Bills. Sir George Simpson, of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, arrived at Lachine from a tour through the territories of the company. Sir George brought no intelligence from the arctic regions relative to Sir John Franklin. Lieutenant Pullen, of the boat ex pedition along the north coast, had wintered at Great Slave Lake, and 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 were generally satisfactory. 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 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 were not 3ielding 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. Seve ral 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. 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. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. KLNGSTON, JULY 30. (From the Cordova Mercantile Intelligencer.) The near approach to the lat 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 if festivity sod rejoicing, as i: has been since the commencement of the year. 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 routes of the Royal Mail Com pany's steamers. Wpresentations to that effect, we are aware, aro in course of preparati_m, and will perhaps be forwarded to New York by the Cherokee. Bread cor,thAies dull at cur last quotations. Mackerel—There an immense stock on hand, and but lithe de mend. Holeers ask 245., but the tilde speak of only 18s. to 20s. 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 183., but the trade offer only 163. Codfisb 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 mees have changed hands at 765., 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 been 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 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 fur the better sorts ruling at 6i. to Is. per 100: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 doub!oons may be quoted at the same rate. Imports, from the 21st to the 29. h of July:— Flour, 518 barrels; meal, 260 barrels; codfish, BC2 tierces, 173 hove—equal to 1,358 quin tals ; mackerel, 685 barrels; alewives, 2 0 8 barrels; herrings, 125 bar rels; W. P. lumber, 208,400 feet; staves, R 0., 900; cedar shingles, 91,218; wood hc,ope, 1,000; corn, 587 bags. A DESPERATE JUMP.—On Thursday, as the mid. day train from Ely to Lynn was proceeding between Little port and Hi'gay, a man, who was being conveyed to Swaff of a Policem an , t h rew hi m s e lf the custody (an i eoupsetnoyne) while the train was in full speed. The driver stopped the trai n , when the man was f h r a o m m B the ride's carriage .ell i n foun , l to be quite stunned by the fall, and his ankles both dislocated.- - Lynn Advertiser. _ GROUSE AT BALA.—Ti'e grou.ing season has come in under less auspicious prom se than has been known for Many years, and i - is feared thi s b eau tiful 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 destrue tiQn of the eggs when h.tching.— North Wa cs Chz ()nick.
