THE PRUSSIAN DESPATCH.

The Cologne Gazette, under its B.lrlin head, says :
--" It is known that Austria proposed to have part
of the military forces of the Germanic Confedera-
tion placed on a war-footing. It is also known
that Prussia expressed in a circular of Aug. 3 her
astonisliment at that proceeding on the part of the
cabinet of Vienna. But that is not all. That de-
spatch of Prussia drew forth a reply from Austria,
in which it was said that the position of Austria with
respect to her allies in Germany had been badly un-
derstood, and that the Prussian circular was not of
a nature to throw light on that state of things. On
the occasion of the treaty of April '2O, negotiations
had taken place between the cabinets of Vienna
and Berlin, the results of which were set down in
a convention. Austria had intended to submit
that convention to the Germanic Diet, and
Prussia is said to have declared that she admitted,
in general, the communication of that docu-
ment to the Diet at a ' convenient moment.' That
is the point on which Austria has based her first
circular despatch. The Cabinet of Berlin has at
length replied in a new despatch, in which it is said
that all depended on what was understood by the
expression convenient moment.' This new ,
despatch of Prussia bears the date of the 31st
of August."

MA.REET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrival of English wheat, coastwise,
has been but moderate. Fresh np to-day, the receipts by
land carriage were limited, and the show of samples was
small. For most kinds we had a steady demand, and fine
qualities realised an advance of is per quarter. Old wheats
were quite as dear as on Monday.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, but the
imports contiinue trifling. About an average business was
transacted, and, in some instances, the quotations wars ix
favour of the sellers.
Floating cargoes were tolerably firm.
There was rather more inquiry for grinding barley, at
very full prices, but the sale for malt was dull.
We had a steady sale for oats, at an advance of is per
quarter.
Beans and peas met a dull sale; but flour was firm. The
top price of English was 50s per 280Ibs.

PROMOTION FOR BALTIC SERVICE.

The public and the service will be gratified to hear of
the promotien of Lieutenant Offley M. Crewe Read (1846)
to the rank of commander. It will be recollected that
this officer was the first who was wounded in the Baltic,
and was strongly recommended for advancement by Capt.
(Nemesis) Hall, whose first lieutenant he was, in the
gallant attack at Ekness, and in which he lost an eye.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED NY

THE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT ^ LIFE
ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849.
Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums
and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for
the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of
the policy.

EXAMPLE.
A B, aged 35, pays 141. 3s 9d. a-year for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time
have paid 991. 6s. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.
The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance
for 5001. for the time would have been 9/. 9s. 7d. per annum, or 66/.
7s. Id.; this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies are taken out to cover Loans.

ARRIVAL OF THE POLYPHEAIUS.

The Polyphemus, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Commander
Phillips, arrived at Portsmouth from the coast ofiAfrica
on Wednesday, to be paid off. She left Ascensionon the
30th of July, at which time the Scourge, 6, paddle•sloop,
Commodore Adams, Commander-in-chief of the squadron,
and the Tortoise, 12, Captain Aitchen, were the only men-
of-war there. She reports the Ferret, 8, Commander
3PDonald, having taken a prize in one of the rivers to the

officers, and the parishes to which they belong can be as-
certained, they will be forwarded free of expense.

HER MAJESTY'S P.ROGRES)S* TO

BALMORAL.

ARRIVAL AT NEWARK.

The Royal train arrived at Newark from Peterborough
at 43 minutes past 10 o'clock. The station was filled
with the most influential ladies and gentlemen of the
town, who were permitted to assemble on the up-side of
the platform, the down-side being reserved for the com-
pany's officials and the conductors of the train. Moon,
one of the oldest drivers in the company's service,
brought the Royal train from King's-cross Station,
where the engine was changed. The Royal train was
loudly cheered on its arrival and at its departure from
the station,
Mr. A. Sturrock, the locomotive engineer of the
Great Northern Railway, took charge of each engine
along with the driver, and in addition to this there was
a communication between the guard and the driver. Mr.
Ed wards, the manager of the electric telegraph on the
Great Northern Railway, was in the train, with an elec-
tric battery and wires, in order to communicate with
any part of the line, and to have communication ready
in case of accident. One of the company's servants was
on the tender to watch for Any signals which might be
given from the Royal carriage. After two or three
minutes' delay in taking i❑ water the Royal train pro-
ceeded to Bawtry, where the engine was changed. The
station and its approaches were thronged with specta-
tors ; but the excellent arrangements which had been
made by the company prevented anything like confusion.
The same demonstration of respect for the Sovereign
was manifested at Bawtry, and indeed at all other sta-
tions where a passing glimpse of the carriages could. be
obtained. On the arrival of the royal train at Doncas-
ter, and in consequence of its being the races, r very
large crowd of persons collected and cheered the train
as it passed. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort fre-
quently acknowledged the gratulations of the people at
Peterborough, Newark, and other places. The progress
of the train was telegraphed from station to station, and
orders were given for the suspension of the traffic for
half an hour before the train was due and danger signals
exhibited five minutes before the royal train was ex-
pected to pass. A pilot engine, in the charge of Mr,
Johnson, superintendent of the locomotive department,
followed the train. A complete staff of workmen and
officials of the railway accompanied the train with the
necessary tools, &c., for the repair of the train in the
event of a break down. The speed of the engines had
been previously tried, and the journey between London
and Peterborough, 76 miles, was performed in 82
minutes. The train was permitted to. run through at
the Knottingley Junction on its way to York.

decline of 2s to 3s per cwt has been the consequence, 62s

LIFE ASSURANCE.
Mon IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED By

rrnE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE
ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849.

Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums
and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for
the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of
the policy.

EXAMPLE,

A. B, aged 35, pays 141. 3s for Life for 500/ , and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy —he will at this time
have paid 991. Gs. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.

The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
nll classes, have adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance
for 500/. for the time would have been 91. 9s. 7d. per annum, sr 66/.
7s. Id.; this deducted from 99/. Gs. 3d. leaves 32/. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies are taken out to cover Loans.

Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices taken.

London, England, 1854-09-15

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

' The present week's arrival of English wheat, coastwise,
has been but moderate. Fresh up to-day, the rec eipts by
land carriage were limited, and the show of samples was
small. For most kinds we had a steady demand, and fin,
qualities realised an advance of is per quarter. Old wheats
were quite as dear as on Monday.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, tut the
imports continue trifling. About an average business was
transacted, and, in some instances, the quotations were in
favour of the sellers.

Floating cargoes were tolerably firm.
There was rather more inquiry for grinding barley, g
very full prices, but the sale for malt was dull.
We had a steady sale for oats, at an advance of is per
quarter.
Beans and peas met a dull sale • but flour was firm. The
top price of English was 50a per 2801bs.

entirely groundless, is at least premature, as there
is nothing official known as yet on the subject.
England herself is undecided what she will do with
her ships. The sailing vessels are recalled, but the
steamers have received no such orders. Probably
the latter will only retire by degrees, according as
they shall be driven out by the ice, and this hap-
pens some seasons earlier than others. Besides, we
may be certain that as long as an English vessel re-
mains in the Baltic, we shall see a French vessel
sharing the same fatigues and dangers."

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES.

A Berlin letter in the Post Ampt Gazette of
Frankfort says :
" We are able to mention the principal clauses
of the maritime convention concluded between
Russia and the United States of America on the 23d
of July last. The contracting parties declare in
Article 1 that the following points shall be for them
unvarying principles :-Ist. The flag shall cover the
cargo, with the exception of contraband of war.
2d. The property of neutrals shall be respected,
even in enemies' ships, except as regards contra-
band of war. The contracting parties engage to
extend to the profit of the trade and navigation of
all States the application of these principles which
they agree to in a permanent and invariable man-
ner. In the second article the right is reserved of
ulteriorly extending these principles which are im-
mediately to serve as rules in all wars in which
Russia or the United States may be engaged. . In
the third article it is stipulated that the nations
Vio may adhere by treaty to the principles laid
ueivn in this convention shall enjoy all the rights
arising from it to the present contracting Powers.
The latter engage to communicate to each other all
~the results which may be obtained from the steps
that may be taken on this point. It is finally sti-
pulated in the last article that the treaty shall be
ratified at Washington within one month."
