Thero waci a i.teady Licelpot-)1
3e.terclay. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, in-
cluding 4,000 American; 150 Pernam and Maranham at
51J. to 51d. ; 80 Egyptian at 60. to 7d.; and 300 Surat
at 4d. to Aid. per ln.--Railway Shares were .rather
ti;recr.

The• ariivais are to day of no moment, and we are
awaiting intelligence of the American steamer.
The following is a brief history of the facts in an in-
teresting d.cision recently made by Judges Ware and
Whitmen, in relation to an insurance on property
destroyed in the fire on Long Wharf, Portland, United
States, in Jennary, 1849:
Is appears, by the statement furnisher), that a quantity
of flour, stored upon the wharf, was insured at the Ocean-
effice by the month. During the.existence of thopolicy,the
owner sold 100 barrels of flour of the same brand, gave
a bill, and received pay for it; but no delivery of any
part of the flour was made, other than by the delivery
if the bill and receipt of payment; and the purchaser
did not know where the flour was stored, it being under-
: too 1 between the parties that the purchaser could have
flour when he called for it. The owner also stated
to the purchaser that the flour was insured, and he
could have it when he wanted it. Some days after the
sale, and before the delivery cf any part of the flour, the
fire took place,which destroyed the whole quantity stored,
embracing several hundred barrels. The owner having
presented his claim for insurance, the under-writers de-
clined to pay for 100 barrels, alleged to have been sold,
en the ground of change of interest. In the meantime
the purchaser demanded his 100 barrels pursuant to the
terms of sale, which was procured and delivered.
The question new arose as to the liability of the in-
surers, and was submitted to Judges Whitman and Ware,
who, after hearing the parties and their testimony, de-
cided that the transaction between the owner and pur-
chaser did not constitute a delivery of any specific quan-
tity of flour, but only a delivery of a certain quantity of
the same brand, which might have been taken from any
other place. There having, therefore, been no actual
delivery of the specific articles insured, the interest
therein had not been transferred, and the office was liable
for the loss.

We do not give the above as being precisely the law
of England, though it is a guide for mercantile men.
On 'Change here the attendance is now getting larger,
and arrangements are making-for the autumn trade. -
In the S-.eck Market 'the settlement of the English
Account is in prf gresA, and the " continuation" amounts
to about per cent., Consols having. been 92* to
93/, aruiL being for October the 17th, the new
settling day, 92/ to'. The New Three-and-a• Quarter
per Cents. have been 93/ t.) 94. Exchecp2er-bills have
been 2s. lower, owing to the demand for money to settle
the account, as well as to the increased employment for
surplus cash in mercantile circles. The aspect of poli•
tical affairs is still deemed rather encouraging by the
Bulls, and they look also to the dividend payments as
being likely to assist them. Consols are now 921
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
at about previous rates. Spanhh Three per Cents.,
however, dropped to 344-, and have rallied since to 34i.
The Five per Cents. have been 17i to 18, and the Pas-
sive, 31. There is some disappointment felt at the
announcement that the Spanish tariff wiil not
even now come into operation in the form
agreed to by the Cortes, and sanctioned by the
Queen, but that to truckle to the Catalonian manufac-
turers, who, perhaps, have made bribery available as
usual, serious modifications are intended in the duties
upon some articles of considerable importance, especially
to the English manufacturers. Portuguese Bonds are
nominally 281 to 29k. Brazilian Small have been 85k.
Danish Old stock has been at per. Mexican Bonds
have been 27i to 4. The Committee of Boedhelders
have published a notice which was, perl•aps, scarcely
needed, and reflects unduly upon their envoy, Mr. Ro-
bertson, unless, indeed, he has really exceeded
his instructions. Mr. Reberteon, it is said, was not
authorised to conclude any definitive arrangement ; it
will be left to the bondholders to ratify it. This, we
should imagine, every one would perfectly understand,
and if the plan of arrangement has been received a meet
ing -should at once be called to see if it meets general
approbation. Some members of the committee, and
many of the bondholders, may be absent from town, but
delay i; dangerous, and those to whom it is an osject
have had too much of that already to brook it very pa
tiently; hence the complaints made, and the necessity for
an early explanation as to whether any formal proposals
have been received. Dutch Two and a-Half per Cents.
have been 54k.
_ _

Railway Shares havo been rathcr heavy again, but
without material changes. E,stern Counties have ad-
vanced a little, Caledonian have declined, Great. Western
are a shade better, and North-Western and South-
Eastern scarcely so good. Midland about the same, and
York and Nor th• Midland tending upwards. The foreign
lines aro dull.
