SOUTHAMPTON DOCK.

The directors, in their half-yearly report, to be sub-
mitted to the proprietors at the meeting on the 25th inst.,
state that " the decrease in gross revenue. as compared
with the corresponding perioi of 1857, is £3,357, and has
arisen from a general falling off in the business of the docks.
The prolonged depression arising from the effects of the late
panic and monetary crisis hes continued to exercise an un-
favourable influence on all commercial undertakings during
the last half-year. The causes of that depression are, how-
ever, ❑ow ceasing to operate. Money has become abundant,
and a revival cf trade, with a consequent retur❑ to progres-
sive
increase in the Dock Company's revenue, may reason-
ably be expected." The accounts slim a net revenue for
the half-year ending 30th of June last of £5,300, which,
added to the surplus cf £l4l from the previous half-yerr,
■sakes an available balance of £3,450. From this sum the
directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent.
per annum, payable on the 31st inst., amounting, on
£360,350 ordinary stock, to £5,405, leaving a surplus a
45 for the next half-year. In reference to the late acci-
dent in the inner dock, Mr. A. Giles, the company's engi-
neer, reports that, after a careful examination t,f the present
condition of the north wall of the inner dock, his previous
impressions had been confirmed, namely, that the move-
ment was entirely owing to the water having bt c:i strained
from under the foundations, thereby causing a vein of sand
to be compressed and to slide forward. When the foun-
dations of this wall were laid seven years ago the soil
appeared perfectly sound, and the borings taken previ-
viously did not indicate the pre'ence of any quicksand;
the fact, however, showed that a length of 380 feet had
sunk lft. llin. in the centre, and had slid forward 31t. Sin.
at the extreme point; yet, so perfect was the cohesion of
the material of the wall, that there wes no more disruption
than was due to a straight line having been stretched into a
curve, and when it was remembered that the base of the
wall was 241 t. thick and carried sfr. below the bottom of the
dock, that it sustained its full pressure while the mortar and
concrete were fresh and green, and also that it stood firm
for ten weeks after the water was pumped out of the dock,
such a failure could certainly not have been expected. In
restoring the wall to its original line he states that the back
of the will can be sufficiently strengthened by adding :large
counterforts of concrete, alter which the face may he re-
built and protected where necessary by sheet piling' at a cost
of about £3,000. The work of repair may be proceeded
with at once, and need not at all endanger the stability of
the D warehou-e. The directors state their conviction that
the accident did not arise from any defect in the strength or
construction of the wall, or from any cause which could have
been foreseen or prevented, and that the wall may be re-
paired, and the inner dock completed and rendered in every
respect as perfect and efficient as if no such accident Lad
occurred.

IN RF. LYONS.

The bankrupt, D. W. Lyons, a general merchant, of
Sydney, New South Wales, applied for his certificate.
Mr. Lewis supported, Mr. Murrough, for the assignees,
offered no apposition.
Mr. Lewis stated that the bankrupt, a young man of 24,
went to Australia in 1831 for the purpose of trading, his
father hada! p7omised to consign goods to him. In 1835
the bankrupt received a communication that his father in-
tended to send him a large vantity of goods. lie waited
for six months, and no roods came ; he was therefore unable
to carry out his trade, so he came home. As he was coming
the goods were going—they crossed—he fell between two
stools, for when he got to England his father would not
advance him any more money or goods, and conse-
quently the irregularity with which the goods had been
supplied in the fist instance had really caused the bank-
repos misfortunes.
His Honour granted a second-class certificate.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
COMPLAINTS AGAINST ASSIGNEES.

At the rising of the court on Monday, Mr. Reed applied
for and obtained two rules against assignees. In one case
an insolvent was remanded for two years, and as the assignee
was the only detaining creditor, he settled wilh him, and
went out of prison. In the second case, the application was
for an attachment in the assignee not filing his account.
Mr. Commi,sioner Phillips, in granting the applications,
suggested that the assignee who bad let out the insolvent
on a settlement of his debt should be made to bring the
fund into court, as he had received the money when
assignee.
Rules nisi were granted in both cases.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Only a limited supply of English wheat was on offer here to-day.
coastwise and by land-carriage. New samples were in moderate
request, and Monday's prices were well supported; but old quali-
ties moved off slowly, at barely last week's currency. The general
quality of the supply was good.
We were heavily supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat. Even
the finest parcels commanded very little attention, and inferior
qualities were nominal.
Scarcely any English barley was on offer; but the supply of
foreign was on the increase. Most kinds moved off freely, at full
prices.
There was a fair inquiry for malt, at late rates.
Good sound oats changed hands steadily, at extreme quotations ;
but inferior parcels were dull.
Maus, peas, end flour sold at very full prices.

(Prom the Official Report.)
In the week that erdLd on Saturday (August II) the
:,Lt.;,ber of deaths registered in London was 1,147, awl ex-
hibit a decrease on those returned for the two previous
weeks. In the ten yeas 1848-57 the corrected average
number of deaths, allowing for increase of population, in the
weeks corresponding with last week was 1,355 ; the number
now returned is therefore less by 208 than the average rate •
of mortality would have produced.
Eight deaths are returned as occasioned from "English

cholera," infantile cholera, and choleraic dia...rl.cra; of this
number 7 were as,7,igned to infants under one year of age;
the other a coachman, aged'4o years, English cholera (14
days).

Diarrhoea appears to decline, for whereas during al.
month of July the weekly number of deaths from that dim-
ease rose by degrees from 94 to 168, it fell last week to 124
and was fatal to 103 children under the age of years. The
deaths referred to measles were 25, scarlatina 85, whoop-
ing-cough 38, and to typhus 32. Scarlatina and diphtheria
prevail to a con'iderahle extent, at double the average rate
of mortality, aril affect more particularly the east and
south Flistricts.

The deaths of six nonagenarians are returned, namely of
two men and four women. Two were respectively 97 and
98 years of age.
Last week the births of 787 boys and 709 girls, in all
1,496 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor-
responding weeks of the years 1843 57 the average number
was 1,484.
At the Royal Observat-iry, Greenwich, the mean he'olit
of the barometer in the week WES 29.021 in., it increased
from 30.'15in. at the beginning of the week to 30.26 in. by
9h. 30m. a.m. on the Bth; decreased with slight exceptions
to 29.72 in. by 3'). p.m. on the 14r1), and then turned to
increase slowly. The mean temperature of the Week was
65.4,1eg., which is 3.7 deg. above the average of the same
week in 43 years, but corresponds very nearly with the
temperature in the same week of last year. The highest
point of the thermometer in the sbade was 86.9 deg. on
Thursday; the lowest 40.51eg. on Sunday ; the extreme
range was therefore 40 4deg. The highest print in
the sun was 108.5dec. on Thursday, the lowest on
the grass was 35 Odeg. on Friday ; to these ex-
treme diflimences vegetation was exposed. The mean
temperature of the Thames was 60.4 deg. The water on an
avera,ze was 1 deg. warmer than the air. The mean dew
point temperature was 56.3 kg, and corresponds with the
same week- of last year. xThe Mean degree of humidity
wanted 27 of saturation, complete saturation being repre-
sented by 100; the previous week was drier, wanting 36
of saturation, with the air rather cooler. Exceping some
rain on Tuesday morning the weather was fire up to Satur-
day, which was cloudy throughout the day. Rain fell
occasionally after noon. A great and unusual darkness was
prevalent a little before 4h. p.m., during which the direction
of the wind changed from E. by N. to W. by N. Shortly
afterwards rain fell heavily to the depth of 0.5 in. within 40
minutes. Several flashes of lightning were seen and thunder
was frequently heard.

THE SUN.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1858.

We have long known that the " difficulty" which
existed between the American and the English
Governments, in reference to the right of " visita-
tion," had been satisfactorily adjusted, and that, in
consequence of the straightforward and honourable
conduct of Lord blAwinsnuax and the Cabinet of St.
James's, there was every reason to anticipate that
adequate means would be devised to test the right
of those assuming the stars and stripes to the dis-
tinction. We now learn; through the New York Tri-
bune, that an understanding has been arrived at on
the important question, and one that will place it on
a very satisfactory foundation, far more advantageous
for this country than'the illegal assumptions which,
combined with scant ceremony and brusquerie of
manner on the part of some British officers, excited
the fierce wrath of the American people and the
American Cabinet. . _

SOUTHAMPTON DOCK.

The directors, in their half-yearly report, to be sub-
mitted to the proprietors at the meeting on the 25th inst.,
state that " the decrease in gross revenue, as compared
with the corresponding perioi of 1857, is £3,357, and has
nrisen from a general falling off in the business of the docks.
The prolonged depression arising from the effects of the late
panic and monetary crisis hes continued to exercise an un-
favourable influence on all commercial undertakings during
the last half-year. The causes of that depression arc, how-
ever, now ceasing to operate. Money has become abundant,
and a revival of trade, with a consequent return to progres-
sive increase in the Dock Company's revenue, may reason-
ably be expected." The accounts show a net revenue for
the half-year ending 30th of June last of £5,309, which,
added to the surplus of £l4l from the previous half-year,
makes an available balance of £5,450. From this suns the
directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent.
per annum, payable on the 31st inst., amountintr, on
£360,330 ordinary steel:, to £5,405, leaving a surplus of
£45 for the next half-year. In reference to the late acci-
dent in the inner dock, Mr. A. Giles, the company's engi-
neer, reports that, after a careful examination of the present
condition of the north wall of the inner deck, his previous
impressrons had been confirmed, namely, that the move-
ment was entirely owiner to the water having bran drained
from under the foundations, thereby causing a vein of sand
to be compressed and to slide f-rward. When the foun-
dations of this wall were laid seven years ago the soil
appeared perfectly sound, and the borinas taken previ-
viously did not indicate the presence of any quicksand ;
the fact, however, showed that a length of 380 feet had
sunk lit. llin. in the centre, and had slid forward Sit. Sin.
at the extreme point ; yet, so perfect was the cohesion of
the material of the wall, that there was no more disruption
than was due to a straight line basing been stretched into a
curve, and when it was retnembered that the base of the
wall was `,aft. thick and carried oft. below the bottom of the
dock, that it sustained its full pressnre while the mortar and
concrete were fresh and green, and also that it steed firm
for ten weeks after the water was pumped out of the dock,
such a failure could certainly not have been expected. In
restoring the wall to its original line he states that the back
of the wall can he sufficiently strenethened by adding ;large
counterforts of concrete, after which the free may be re-
built and protected where necessary by sheet piling at a cost
of about £3,000. The work of repair may be proceeded
with at once, and need not at all endanger the stability of
the I) warebou,e. The directors state their conviction that
the accident did not arise from Any defect its the strength or
construction of the wall, or from any cause which could have
been foreseen or prevented, and that the wail may be re-
paired, and the inner do"k completed and rendered in every
respect as perfect and efficient as if no such accident had
occurred.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

KENT.---The reports received from the several bop-
growing districts speak of the beneficial effects produced by
the rains of the last few days, and of the marked progress
since made by the burr in developing into hops. Pre-
viously, it was a subject of general remark that the advance
was slower than usual, and that every day was diminishing
the prospect entertained some weeks ago of a large crop.
As it Is, there is, in many grounds, an extensive appearance
of fire-blast, and, as the bine is generally slack throughout
Mid Kent, and in a great part of East Kent, there is little
doubt that early anticipations will not be realised, but that
the duty has been set much too high. A continuance of
warm nights will greatly improve the appearance of all the
plantations; but it is too late to expect anything like the
crops of the last two years. In East Kent we are informed
that hop picking is likely to commence In about a fort-
night's time; but in West Kent, where the grounds ."15
year are later, bopping will hardly be general under three
week..
London, England, 1858-02-16

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

"The reports of the members of the international
commission of Bucharest," says a Vienna later in
the Cologne Gazette, " are looked for with con-
siderable anxiety. It is affirmed that the French
Commissioner has proposed a constitutional form
of government, and that Russia, Prussia, and Sar-
dinia approve of his views. On the contrary,
Austria and the Porte are of opinion that the con-
stitutional form should not be insisted on. Eng-
land is said to admit the French views, but with
some modifications. Opinions differ likewise on
the point of hereditary right for the Prince at the
head of the Government. Persons who are well
informed think that in the end a Hospodar for life
will be decided on."
