HALF PAST ONE;

The private letters received this morning from Bahia, of
the 27th of January, state that business was quire at a stand
still there with the exception of the Slaw Trade, which was
continuing very brisk. Two vessels had arrived there, one
with from four to five hundred slaves, and the other with
from two hundred and fifty to three hundred.
The Oxford packet from New York has arrived at Liver-
pool ; the papers by her are of the same date as those previously
received.
We have received the Antwerp journal of the 21st March.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 19.—The Foreign Mar-
ket presents but little variations, and the national funds have
been very calm to-day—also remain without variation. At the
closing of the Bourse sales were tried to be effected, which
caused a slight depression. A great deal of business was done
in the Actions of the Society of Commerce, which improved
to 1624 1624. Ardoin's Spanish was animated, and more
sought after; they remained at 20 11-16ths to I; Coupons,
20% to 11-16ths.
The British Funds are not quite so good as in the early part
the morning, when they were 85a 43 for the Accouut, at pre-
sent may be quoted 884, money 884 4. Up to the present
hour there is not a feature in either of the markets worth no-

IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE.—At the An-
trim Assizes, held at C&rrickfergus, on Monday last, Mr.
Vance brought an action to recover 3,5001. damages from
the York and Lon lon Assurance Company, for loss which
he had sustained by the destruction of his cotton-trill by
fire. The claim was resisted on the ground that the old
machinery in the mill had been estimated as new. After
the case had been proceeded with for some hours,
and there being much conflicting evidence respecting
the value of the machinery, Baron Pennefather sug-
gested that it should be left to the arbitration of three of
the gentlemen of the Jury, which suggestion was
adopted. His Lordship then addressed them, after which
the arbitrators returned their verdict as follows :—" In
the case of Vance v. Forster and others, referred to us for
arbitration, we base agreed that the loss on the building
of the plaintiff's mill amounts to more than the sum in.
cured thereon, which, we are informed, is 1,300/. ; that
the loss on fixed machinery, called millwright work,
amounts to 580/. ; and that the loss on machinery denomi-
nated clockmakers' work, and including steam-pipes,
amounts to 3,5131. 8,. tEld., making 5,393/. 8.. Bd. We
are further of opinion that any part of the machinery
saved is the property of the Underwriters. With refcr •
ence to the above awards, we find that the York and
London Assurance Company shall pay, as their propor-
tion of loss on the building the sum of 8001. ; on the fixed
machinery, or millwright work, 331/. 8-i. 7d. ; and on the
macl.icery denominated clockmakers' work, including
{ team-pipes, 2,078/. 17s. 4d. ; total, 3,208/ ss. lid. We
and for the plaintiff, for the sum of 3,208/. 5.5. lid., with
6d. costs."
