ration.

MARINE INSURANCE COMPANIES.—The marine insur-
ance companies connected with the salvage case of the
Condor, from which 88,000/. of gold was rescued off
Pernambuco last June, have published a report of the
trial in which they lately succeeded in setting aside the
claim of Mr. Cowper, the English consul at that port,
for services performed and apparently acknowledged at
the time by all thc) parties interested. This document,
however, throws no new light on the case, and merely
shows that Mr. Cowper was forced to abandon his posi-
tion under a threat that advantage would otherwise be
taken of a legal technicality, That such a result is not
likely to have the effect of stimulating efforts to save
property under simitir eircumstarces on a, future occasion
win, it to be pr, au nivd, 1;:= '-ven by the in•
surance companies themselves, and for the general in-
terests of eoranaeree the affair is therefore to be regarded
with regret.
