G. Y. Nelson, x.l. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a tinder the novel system of DEPOSIT assuranc e can secure th e follow_ ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary sy stem. 2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can rec e i ve in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets "thing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a tortnieht's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a sistgle payment, three Years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the b argain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as ill a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that be gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no nich thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to p a y hi s curre nt premiums, and, inste a d o f h av i ng any rl to fly t o f o r a id, a ll his hall-earned savings be come f or f e it e d to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his More fortunate co-assurers. S uch a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be . nnive rsa ll y recognised and adopted when the pr i nc i ples are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining. the ADVANTAGES OF A IsANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In ease of endowment rssurances the advantages of the DEPOSI system ara still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY TINDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills.

[PRICE SD. cope with an array of correspondents whose name is legion. Captain Fitzroy, in defending the use of the cat, contends that the infliction of corporal punishment is the most painful part of the duty of a commanding officer. Admitting it to be so in some instances, it is nevertheless notorious that the wholesale use of the cat for trivial offences aroused the feelings of the people of this country ; and in consequence of what took place in the House of Commons on several occasions, the authorities were obliged to interfere. One commanding officer thought it so painful a part of his duty, that he declared every man should kiss the grating before the ship was paid off ; and, with one or two exceptions, he kept his word, flogging almost under the admiral's nose, until ordered to cease punish ment and drop astern. May I ask Captain Fizroy what assurances we have that the like shall not occur again ? Try a captain for tyranny, and he is honourably ac quitted—in some instances followed by the honour of knighthood. The Humboldt left at anchor, ready for sea, the ships Mercury, for Havre, and Robert Kelly, for Liverpool. Passed at Sandy Hook, ship Isaac Webb, for Liverpool ; July 4, lat. 42.10, long. 62.40, saw American ships Westmoreland and Java, bound west. July 13, off Start Point, passed American ship St. John, bound up Channel. Accounts from St. Thomas to the 10th of June state that the yellow fever was raging fearfully there among the shipping. Dates from Havannah are to the 22d of June. The correspondent of the New York Ilerald writes :-- " There is a tremendous panic among the slavetraders. Julian Zulueta, their recognised chief, was arrested yes terday morning, and is at this moment taking his coffee in the castle of the Cabana. This is precisely the same game which was played by General Canedo a few weeks ago, when, after Antonio Capo had comfortably effected the landing of about 1,100 slaves near Cardenas, Messrs. Suaznavar and the other owners of that expedition were arrested and confined for a few days in their own houses at Matanzas, and then set at liberty, receiving back, as a sort of compensation for the little inconvenience they may have been put to by being compelled to stay at home for a short time, the 300 slaves which had been seized by order of General Canedd, but which were now commanded by his Excellency to be returned to their original owners, under - the name of Emancipados, a de- The public have taken up the cause of our seamen, and instructions of a more liberal tendency have been already issued for the guidance of officers ; but until the infamous Articles of War—that wretched specimen of injustice— are remodelled, and punishment by the cat limited to certain offences, and the law laid down in unambiguous terms, there ever will be occasional abuse of power. The diminution of this description of punishment is not a proof that the officers are more humane than formerly. I have already explained whence it is to be attributed. The practice had become a matter of reproach to a na tion which boasted of free institutions, the country pro nounced its judgment, and the authorities, in conse quence, felt it their duty to discountenance it ; hut, sir, until we have a better guarantee for fair play and a whole; skin than meremirculars, and until .seamen have thetanafide protection of the law, the greatest distrust will continue to prevail as to the future. scription of servitude a thousand time. 3v.rsa thaia apy-- slavery. -^ .„`.‘ Of coureETtria are well aware' • PaiVei4rf Cuba have long since set their hearts against the intro duction of more slavery f rom Af r i ca , an d that the pro motion of the diabolical traffic is altogether confined to the actual traders, who are generally a set of low Spaniards, principally from the province of Cataluna, and +he needy officials who are sent out from Spain to better their ruined fortunes. These few worthless I am ready to admit that considerable improvement have taken place also in the temper and disposition of officers generally, as compared with times gone by ; but the human heart is prone to err, and it is ever dificult to guard oneself against the use of unlimited power. As a diseased sheep will infect a flock, even so will one tyrannical officer and one unhappy ship affect the feel ings and disgust the minds of a whole squadron. It is to guard against this, by far the greatest evil in the naval service, that men are contending, that the press issues her daily warnings and denunciations ; yes, and with one common object in view —viz., the interests and well-being of of the naval profession. Methinks, the time of these gallant officers had been better spent in turning their professional talents to the compilation of a new naval code, suitable to the wants of the times ; but, mark, on this subject the trio are all I a but silent. No one, in fact, dares to defend them, and yet they are suffered to remain in full force—possibly to sleep for a time only. The seamen are perfectly acquainted with everything that takes place relating to themselves, and are well qualified to judge of the advantage and disadvantage of the navy, as compared with the merchant and foreign services. wretches have the business entirely in their own hands. "'The clamours of the people here, but, above all, the threatening tone assumed in The Times of the 25th and 31st of May, following so soon upon the recent warnings in the New Yorellerald, is really the cause which has induced Canedo to arrest the chief of the slavetraders and owner of the Lady Suffolk, Julian Zulueta. But I hope you will point out that this step was not taken by his Excellency General Canedo until after the arrival of the European mail per Empire City on the 19th inst., notwithstanding that long previously the circumstances connected with the arrival and dis embarkation of slaves from the Lady Suffolk and the other vessels was as notorious as the sun at noonday, and was, and is still, the common topic of conversation at every place of public resort in this city. In the mean time, until the public indignation is appeased, Mr. Zu lueta has very comfortable lodgings in the airy and cool castle of the Cabana—Ta,con's Palace (the gaol) was not good enough for such a respectable individual ; besides he is very rich—where he has his servants, and every luxury he may require, allowed. He is under no restraint whatever, being permitted to promenade, whenever he thinks proper, the whole length o f th at vast fort. His intimate friends—Forcade, Sama, Baths, &c.—visit him at all hours, and, as I have known it to be the practice in similar cases where plenty of money has been at com mand, I would not at all be surprised were I to encounter any evening after dark Mr. Zulueta, the supposed pri soner, taking his drive through the streets of Havan nah." I am not contending for the total abolition of the punishment of flogging in the navy. I believe, also, that the seamen, as a body, do not desire it ; but they do desire, and have a right to demand, that it shall be applied only in extreme cases. What would be thought of a magistrate who sentenced a man to receive 36 lashes, or 324 stripes, for a certain offence for which another awarded a week's imprison ment only t And yet the inequality of punishments awarded to similar offences is even greater than this, as " A Vice-Admiral" and as Captain Fitzroy well know. Many men have been flogged for made crimes ; others flogged to ensure their good behaviour on the morrow ; at any rate, the majority of the officers and the entire ship's company have been at a loss to ascertain the real cause. The New York stock market was firm, with an upward tendency for Government stocks. Ex change on London was quoted firm at 109 1 ' 1 to ; Paris, 515 to 515 i ; Amsterdam, 41 to 411- ; Bre men, 79/ to 791. Cotton steady, sales for the week 13,600 bales. Coffee, demand light, at full prices. Flour was in good demand for export, and the grain market active, but the supply was on the increase. Metals firm and in good request. Rice heavy. Sugar in moderate demand. The active inquiry for tobacco continued, upwards of 1,400 hogsheads of Kentucky having changed hands at advanced prices on speculation ; a speculative de mand for manufactured had also sprung up. The advance in the price of teas was well maintained. For wool the demand had slightly improved. In freights, wheat had been shipped to Liverpool to a considerable extent at sd. in ships' bags ; flour at is. 9d. ; tobacco, 17s. 6d. to 20s. per hogshead ; cotton, 5-32 d. ; grain, in bulk, sd. ; flour to Lon don, 2s. ; cotton to Havre, 3s. Bd. With the recollection of such instances fresh in the minds of hundreds, it is necessary that some measure should be introduced in which the men could place con fidence. Let this be done, and still further increase the pay of A B's—Sir James's last being still too low—and I for one shall be happy to congratulate " A Vice Admiral" on the condition of his then noble profession. In the hope that you will find space in your excellent paper for this, I fear, too long letter, permit me to remain, sir, your obedient servant, B. N. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 13. THE SPITHEAD FLEET. A great and well-grounded cause of complaint among all classes in the fleet exists in the fact of there being no steam-tender attached to it to bring them to and fro safely and free of expense, and this want has been more keenly felt since two officers and two nten have lost their lives in consequence of the inefficiency of the means em ployed to rejoin their ships in foul weather. The Royal yacht Fairy, Master-Commander Welch, returned from Holyhead at 8 o'clock last night. She left Plymouth at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. It is expected she will be required for the service of the Court in a day or two. The Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, returned from Holyhead this evening, and came into harbour. The Sphynx, 6 steam-sloop, Captain Hillyar, was in spected and her crew mustered this morning by the Port Admiral, and Captain Chads, C.B„ of the Excel lent, put the men through the great-gun drill, &c., after which she discharged her powder, and came into har bour to dismantle and be paid off. Her crew have been in commission barely three years and a-half, and, now they have become efficient seamen, will be turned adrift. The Queen Charlotte, 104, hauled out of the fitting basin to-day ready to return to "ordinary." The masts and spars of the Grampus, 50, have been got out, and are to be sent to Pembroke for the pur pose of jury-rigging the Cmsar, 91, new screw line-of battle ship, which is to be brought to this port to be fitted for commission. The Sprightly steam-tender embarked a party of Go vernment officials this morning from the town sallyport, and left with them for the westward. We believe they were an Ordnance party about to inspect the fortifica tions on the Dorset coast. WOOLWICH, JULY 13. APPOINTMENTS.

GLOUCESTER, Wednesday.—This being the first public exhibition day, an immense accession to the temporary population of Gloucester took place, and the three rail way companies having put on extra trains for the ac commodation of visitors, the stations were crowded with throngs of travellers throughout the day, and the cab and omnibus proprietors took the opportunity offered to them of reaping a golden harvest. All the omnibuses and cabs that could be secured from the adjacent towns were retained, and fares were doubled, the proprietors having the conscience to demand five shillings for a cab from the station to the exhibition—distance a mile and a half. _ _ The implement yard was opened to the public at seven o'clock this morning, and many chose an early hour for visiting this department, in preference to waiting until it became more crowded. The number of stands ofimplements was 121, occupying two-thirds of the exhibition apace, and presenting a magnificent illustration o f th e sp i r i t, energy, skill, and enterprise of the present day. The greatest admiration and surprise expressed generally by the visi tors, and many persons who had attended these great gatherings from the first period of their establishment, pronounced that this was not one of the best, but the very best, collection of agricultural implements and machines ever brought together. Among the most prominent names of the exhibitors were Garrett and Sons, of Lerston Ironworks, near Saxmunden, Suffolk ; Hussey, of Baltimore, the original inventor of the American reap i ng machine • Smith, of Kettering, Northampton s hi re ; Cresskill, of' Beverley ; Ransornes and Sims, of Ipswich ; Dray and Co., of Swan-lane, Lon don-bridge ; Batley ' of Northampton ; Rev.

His sheds are occupied with seeds, and some beautiful botanical speci mens of grass are ranged in these sheds. Catalogues of all the implements in the yard were sold on the spot, and the exhibitors were found to v t ef le y ready to give inquirers every information relative articles which they exhibited at their stands. About 3,000 persons had visited the exhibition up to four o'clock. The show yard was open until six in the evening. 'LONDON, 'THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1850.

XIV. In any case of desertion of a petty officer or sea man, or non-commissioned officer of marines or marine, fr)m her Majesty's navy, or from any one of her Majesty's slips, it shall be lawful either to try the offender by court martial, or, instead of so trying him, for any flag officer of her Majesty's navy on full pay„ for the officer command kg the ship to which the deserter ma belong, or the ship to which he may be brought, or of which he may be borne, upon any such flag officer Vr officer com manding being satisfied of the identity of the offender, and of the offence having been committed, to order the offender to be imprisoned for any period not exceeding six calendar months from the date of such order in any public prison, gaol, or house of correction, in any part of her Majesty's dominions, or in any naval prison appointed or to be appointed under the act of the session holden in the 10th and 11th years of her Majesty, cap. 62 ; and such im prisonment may be with or without hard labour, as any such order shall direct ; or in any such case of desertion as aforesaid it shall be lawful for any such flag officer or officer commanding to order the offender to be summarily punished in the same manner as such offender would be liable to be punished according to the custom of the service for being absent without leave, withont trial by court-mar tial ; but when any such order as 4foresaid is not made by the senior naval officer present the *fame shall not have any force or effect until the same shall have been approved of by writing under the hand of such senior officer ; and in all cases upon the home station no such order when made by any such officer commanding shall have any force or effect until the same shall have been approved of by writing under the hand of the commander-in-chief under whom the officer making such order shall be serving ; and all the provisions of the said act of the 10th and 11th years of her Majesty relating to or concerning the governors, gaolere, or keepers of. any -publie -prisonygool, or *puss of correction, and officers having charge of naval pri sons, receiving and confining offenders, and to orders for the discharge or removal of offenders, to the subsist ence of prisoners, as to prisoners not being entitled to pay or wages, or to reckon time for pay, wages, or pension, while in confinement, and as to penalties which may be in curred by any such governor, gaoler, keeper, or officer, and as to the recovery and application of such penalties, shall be applicable to all cases of offenders imprisoned under or by virtue of any such order as hereinbefore provided. XV. In all cases in which naval courts-martial are or may be authorised to adjudge imprisonment they may adjudge the same with or without hard labour, at their discretion, and with or without any other punishment which they are competent to award ; and the term of imprisonment under sentence of such courts-martial shall be reckoned as com mencing onthe day on which the sentence was passed. XVI. Every person who, upon entering or offering him self to enter the naval service of her Majesty, shall make or give any false statement, whether orally or in writing, with intent to deceive any officer or person authorised to enter or enlist seamen or others in or for such naval ser vice, shall be deemed a rogue and vagabond within the in tent and meaning of the act of the sth Geo.

Any court-martial constituted by virtue of the said last mentioned act shall have the same power for the trial and punishment of offences committed in any of her Majesty's dockyards or victualling yards by such persons as at the time of the offence committed shall be in active service and full pay in the fleet or ships of war of her Majesty as if such offences had been committed upon the main sea or in any haven within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, and all persons in actual service and full pay in any of the ships of war of her Majesty, shall while within any of her Ma jesty's dockyards or victualling yards be subject to the same discipline, laws, and customs as if on board such ships of war of her Majesty upon the main sea or in any such haven as aforesaid. XVIII. Whenever it shall be necessary to move any of the officers or men in her Mnjesty's navy, or belonging to any naval coast volunteers, or any other officers or men under,. the command or government of th e Ad m i ra lt y , every railway company shall, upon the production of a route or order for the conveyance of such officers or men, signed by any officer or person authorised by the Lord High Admiral or Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral in that behalf, be bound to provide conveyance for such officers or men and their personal lug gage, and also any public baggage, stores, arms, ammuni tion, and other necessaries and things, by the railway of such company at the usual hours of starting, in like manner, and at the like fares and rates or charge, and upon the like conditions as under the act of the session holden in the 7th and Bth years of her Majesty, cap. 85, or any other act applicable to such com pany, such company would be bound to provide such con veyance for the officers and men of her Majesty's forces of the line, ordnance corps, marines, militia, and police force and their personal luggage, and any public baggage, stores, arms, ammunition, and other necessaries and things of the said forces. XIX. And whereas by the Bth section of the act of the session holden in the 4th and sth years of William IV., cap. 25, provision is made to facilitate the obtaining by the relations of persons deceased of small sums payable to them in the naval department : and whereas it is expe dient to make more effectual provision for that purpose : The said eighth section of the said act of the 4th and sth Wm. IV. shall be repealed ; and where upon the death (either before or after the passing of this act) of any com missioned, warrant, or petty officer, seaman, commissioned or non-commissioned officer of Royal Marines or private) marine, or of any widow entitled to a pension on the esta blishment of the navy, or of any person entitled to an allowance from the Compassionate Fund, or of any person having been employed in any of her Majesty's dockyards, naval, victualling, or medical establishments, or in any of the civil departments of the navy, or of any person entitled to any prize-money, bounty, grant, or other money in the nature of naval prize, the whole amount of moneys payable in the naval departments which may be due to the deceased shall not exceed the sum of fifty pounds, it shall be lawful for the inspector of seamen's wills in the Admiralty Office, after having satisfied himself by due investigation of the right of any claim ant to probate of the will (if the deceased shall have left a will), or in case of intestacy to letters of administration, to issue a certificate in admission of the claim, which certificate shall be in such form as by the Lord High Admiral, or Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, shall be deemed expe dient, and !shall, so far as regards any moneys payable in the naval department, and not exceeding fifty pound, have the same force and effect as probate of the deceased's will, or a grantlof administration of the deceased's effects; and pay ment under the authority of such certificate of any moneys, not exceeding in the whole the said sum of fifty pounds, due to the deceased on account of any naval pay or wages, or pay or wages of the ordinary or any marine pay, or of any half-pay, pension, or prize, or bounty, grant, or other money in the nature of prize, or of any allowance from the Compassionate Fund, or moneys due on account of the de ceased's services, or superannuation allowances granted on retirement from any services in any of her Majesty's dock yards, naval, victualling, or medical establishments, or in any of the civil departments of the navy, or any depart ment under the direction of the said Lord High Admiral or Commissioners, shall be valid and conclusive against all parties as effectually as if the same had been paid under probate or letters of administration. MANNING THE NAVY AND TREATMENT OF OUR SEAMEN. CRICKET. THE SURREY CLUB v..ISLINGTON ALBION. This annual match was played at the Northampton Arms Ground, Islington, on Monday, and proved one of those contests which will find a place in the list of "matches extraordinary." Unlike many matches of the present day, this was played without an infusion of paid players. The game was, as it were, run away with by the Surrey Club ; for whilst the Albion gained 39 only in their first innings, the Surrey ran up a score of 175 ; but in their second innings the former was getting on uch better, for when "time" was called they had of t ned 37 runs, with the loss of four wickets only. A he close of the game the score presented the following appearance : ISLINGTON ALBION. • . • Sb First Innings. cond Innings. J. Chadband, Esq., c F. Miller, b Yeats 4 not out lO G.

TIIE PLYMOUTH REGATTA.—There is every probabi lity that the Port of Plymouth regatta will be on a more extensive scale than has yet been known. The contribu tions which have been received by the committee for prizes far exceed any previous amount, and, in consequence, several new and interesting sports will be introduced. Mr. M a re has generously contributed the munificent sum of W .; and Air. J. R. Newcombe 20/. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—Considering the increasing importance of the subject of manning the navy, doubtless greatly aug mented by the warlike aspect of affairs in the East, venture to offer a few observations thereon. lam fur ther induced so to do by having read some letters in the morning papers purporting to be from " A Vice- Admiral," " A Retired Captain," and Captain Fitzroy, R.N., during the last twelve months. Manning the navy has engrossed no small share of public attention— an additional proof that the navy is the .popular service of the country. With all its abuses, it is still regarded as the national arm of defence, and the gratitude of the country is eminently due to the press for its exertions in the good cause, and the energy it has displayed in bringing such abuses to light. The safety and dignity of Great Britain depends on the efficiency of her naval power. Is it then, a crime to be alive to certain evils which still exist, and, by ex posing them, to be instrumental in their abolition ? These very evils have cost the country some thousands of fine fellows, who would otherwise have been proudly treading the decks of our ships at Spithead and else where. Is it not grievous to reflect that such a fleet should be rendered ineffective through want of men to man it, when there are yet good men and true in the country unemployed. "The gist of the letter of your corres pondent, '‘A Vice-Admiral," is to make us believe that the navaser vice is the acme of perfection—that, forsooth, because that of 1830, the service and the country tyrannical areoe tongue-tied, and rest satisfied. isthe in nimprovementwaycommensurate during the N a o b w ov ' e si p r eri l od m , graineatatians that with the improvement in the moral character and gene ral habits of the seamen, a nd still leaves the Admi ra l ty considerably in debt. Yes ; and the order to square yards must issue from head-quarters, e'er Jack regards the service with favour. Circumstances that would for merly have passed unnoticed, are now narrowly scruti nised by the men ; and the evils that still exist must be rooted out before the project of a standing navy, by permanent and continuous service, can be satisfactorily carried out. " The letter of "A Vice-Admiral" not only de nounces discussion on the subject, but g oes so far as to navalserious, permit le m s e a a t me to ask what has produced the re f orms of which he as sert that the sole object of the writebirnesiosoenrni the gratuitous ie m : s i s a t * men. s m is t l o f d tb eg e r g ad al e la t n h t e o s ffi er e v e i r ce ea i n n r t e h a e ll o y p eq onma boasts rmt eer?n. quarter-deck ea D ct ki i e d s they eAf r officersa t t bt e be e f f r mr o n s m i et lsx t ,oe li fs e ,e aeb n tde i n t i iytrthosorielfous through not to be traced to public opinion their legitimate organ, the press ? I assert, without qualification, that all has been effected by this means. It is no light matter to charge all those men who have written on this subject with a desire to create discontent in and dislike to the service ; however, the admiral has thrown down the gauntlet, and he must be prepared to BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The royal mail steam-ship Tay, Captain Revett, has arrived with the usual Brazil and Rio La Plata mails, and dates from Buenos Ayres June 2 ; Mon tevideo, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 14 ; Bahia, 18 ; Per nambuco, 21 ; St. Vincent, Cape de Verd, 29 ; Teneriffe, July 4 ; Madeira, 6 ; and Lisbon, 9. The Tay brings 137 passengers to Southampton, and has landed 51 at Lisbon, and on freight four bags cochineal, 41 serons ipecacuanha, 215 half chests lemons, and sundry merchandise. From Buenos Ayres there is nothing very new. The army of General Urquiza had neither advanced nor retreated. Blockade by the squadron was con stituted, and this rendered provisions gradually scarcer. In fact, to starve .the city now seems to be his object. Our letters contiin the following :—.We continue besieged by land and blockaded by water, altogether in a deplorable, but not by any means a desperate state. The besiegers decidedly lose ' ground, and Urquiza, with his Gauchos and the old cut-throats of Rosas, neither dares to make an as sault, nor will they await a general action when Gen. Paz is ready, as we think he will soon be, to go out and attack th •.; . The sally would probably have taken place on ' s night of the 27th and the morning of the 28th u .ad not a heavy rain un fortunarely interrup - . s serations, and ren dered the roads unfi . - purpose for several days. The weather has sce been fine, and we are now in expectation of a decisive movement. As 1 to the blockade, we refer to t blished corre spondence, and need only ad t the British authorities are in as bad o d our witl 4 i the natives as their own countrymen. We still think that the mock blockade must be abandoned ; if so, a number of foreigners will undoubtedly take up arms and settle matters in a different way. There is nothing to be known from the negotiations of mediation, but the actual Government is firmly seated, public confidence buoyant, the National Guards decided, and the regular troops and foreign legions conduct themselves bravely. In a sally this morning one of our most distin guished officers was severely wounded, nothing else particular has occurred. At Rio business in general had been in a stat e o f great paralysation in consequence of a severe pres sure in the money market, arising from an over ex tension of business. First rate bills had with diffi culty been done at 10 per cent. A project of the Minister of Finance, to allow the banks to place in circulation their paper currency against deposits of undoubted securities, redeemable within a fixed time, was under discussion. In coffee transactions had been extremely limited, and prices experienced a decline ; shipments during the month 66,963 bales. Freights to the English Channel 70s. to 755. Five per Cent. stock was quoted 83 ; Six per Cent. 100 to 103. At Bahia the weather was very wet and cold. Business in imports was dull ; sugar market active ; freights declining. Fever was very prevalent, the natives suffering as much as foreigners. In coffee the supply from the interior had been trifling. Exchange was firm at 29d., discounts 9 to 12 per cent. At Pernambuco the supply of sugar was limited ; owing to the continued prevalence of rain, prices had ruled exceedingly high ; the exports showed an excess of 18,000 tons over the last crop ; the next crop promises well. Freights nominal. Ex change closed firm at 29d., discounts 8 to 10 per cent. From Lisbon our accounts are to the 9th inst. ; the Tay left that city at 3 p.m. on the 9th, four hour after the departure of the Peninsular mails for Southampton by the Iberia steamer, which calls at Oporto and Vigo. There were no foreign vessels of war in the Tagus, her Majesty's ship Cruiser having sailed for Gibraltar on the 6th. The exchange business at Lisbon had been limited for this mail. No alteration was noted in the quotations, but bills on London were scarce at 545, for three months, before the arrival of th e mail from Brazil, which was expected t o supply particular novelty in Po r t uguese the takers. Deputies had voted ne ar l y a ll the e xpenditure for 1853 or 1854, an d were discussing ipotelTmigthsieect of expenditure was she n the marine departm en t —the last of the bud when the Tay left. The English system of prepaying letters by stamps commenced in Portugal on the Ist of July. are de- Letters under three- e i g hth s o f an ounce livered in any pa r t o f P ortugal and in the Azores for 25 reis, or about Id. each, and those to or from the ultramarine possessions at 40 reis, or 2d. each. The stamps are neatly got up with the Queen's effigy, and the system seemed lik e ly t o work well, being a great improvement upon the old one. The Tay spoke her Majesty's screw line-of -battle ship Duke of Wellington off Plymouth this O A ..i er L 0 ; 0 r 0 ET- ;eorge of the e-ter , 3erke , Esq•, van , Wil' %ctea f of
