SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 31st ult. contains the
usual telegram announcing that their Majesties and
the Royal family remaineetit Gijon, and were in
good health. The Gazette likewise publishes a
Royal order directing the engineer in chief of the
division of the Almanza railways to proceed imme-
diately to the points in which the road has been
deteriorated by the late storms, and to report on
the best and speediest plan to be adopted to pre-
vent the frequent occurrence of accidents therein.
The other journals state that the people of
Barcelona had presented a complimentary address
to the Duke de la Victoria (Espartero), and that he
had returned a suitable reply. The Independancia
sapiently recommends that the Atlantic telegraph
and all other submarine lines which England may
lay down, " shall be considered the property of all
nations, and be, on payment of a fair remuneration
to the companies, declared neutral. England," it
adds, " ought not to be allowed to make a monopoly
of an instrument of peace,eivilisation,and prosperity."
A letter says :—" The news of the removal of the Mar-
quis de Turgot from the post of French Ambassador
has taken his political friends by surprise, for though
it was pretty generally known that there had long
existed a coolness between his Excellency and a

SEEDS

There has been a decided improvement in the demand for
linseed, and last week's prices have been firmly supported.
Rapeseed continues dull, at barely previous quotations.
Tares command extreme rates ; but mustard is very inac-
tive. Other seeds rule about stationary. Cakes have been
in good request, at our quotations.

" A telegraphic despatch announces the arrival of
the Grand Duke Michael and the Grand Duchess,
his wife, at Kaffa, in the Crimea. The preparatory
works for the railway, which will doubtless be the
means of enabling the Crimea th recover from the
disasters caused by the war, are now in full activity.

The Profits of this Society will be divided in future,
Quinquennially instead of Septennially ; and Policies will
participate at each division, after three annual payments of
premium have been made, instead of five as heretofore.
Policies effected now, or before Midsummer, 1860, will par-
ticipate in four-fifths, or 80 per cent., of the profits at the next
division in January, 1863, according to the conditions con-
tained in the Society's Prospectus.
The Premiums required by this Society for insuring- young
lives are lower than in many other old. established Offices,
and Insurers are fully protected from all risk by an ample
guarantee fund in addition to the accumulated funds derived
from the investments of Premiums.

Tait's Edinburgh Magazine.

This magazine contains its usual attractive
variety. It opens with a paper on the recent emi-
gration statistics, and strongly upholds female
emigration as most desirable for both countries.
It is followed by the continuation of the interesting
story of " Etoile." "An Afternoon on Ballarat"
gives a graphic picture of Australian life. The
papers on "Woman and Womankind" are continued
with their usual sense and judgment. The school-
mistress is the subject of this number, and the
author points out forcibly the serious responsibili-
ties of such a position—the widespread results for
good or evil that follow from her conduct. Another
series of papers, " Tangled Talk," generally repays
perusal. A brief memoir of the brave but ill-fated
Count de Lally will be read with interest. There
are several other papers of varying merits.

The Art Journal. No. XLV
The chief plates in this number represent the
Marriage of St. Catherine, from Van Dyck ; the
Farm at Laaken, a charming scene, from a picture
by Rubens ; and an engravinr, from the statue of
the late Lord Fitzgibbon, as "Thet- Young Hussar,"
by P. M'Dowell, R.A. The remainder of the jour-
nal is full of attractions for the lovers of art. An
interesting memoir of M. Le Jeune, among the
papers on British artists, has several woodcuts of
his graceful groups of little ones. Mr. and Mrs.
S. C. Hall's " Book of the Thames" continues with
unabated interest, giving us views of those stately
old mansions which used to stand, with their plea-
sant gardens sloping down to the water's edge,
where the noise and turmoil of a commercial tho-
roughfare is now constantly sounding. An illus-
trated essay.on the " Objects of Decorative Art in
South Kensington Museum," will also attract the
reader. All topics of the month connected with art
and the development of the public taste receive fair
consideration.

This elegant and beautiful addition to our artistic

Life Department.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, this Company now offers to future insurers four-
fifths of the profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a low rate
of premium without participation of profits.
The next division of profits will be declared in June, 1860,
when 'all participating policies which shall have subsisted at
least one year at Christmas, 1859, will be allowed to share in
the profits.
At the 5 divisions of profits made by this Company, the total
reversionary bonuses added to the policies have exceeded
£913,000.
At the last valuation,' at Christmas, 1854, the Assurances in
force amounted to upwards of £4,240,000, the income from the
Life Branch iu 1854 was more than £200,000, and the Life As-
surance Fund (independent of the guaranteed capital) exceeded
£1,700,000.
Foreign Risks.—The extra premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts
of the United States of America, have been materially reduced.
Invalid Lives.—Persons who are not in such sound health
as would enable them to insure their lives at the tabular pre-
miums may have their lives insured at extra premiums.
Loans granted on life policies to the extent of their values,
provided such policies shall have been effected a sufficient time
to have attained in each case a value not under £.50.
Assignments of Policies.—Written notices of, received and
registered.
Medical fees paid by the Company, and no charge will be
made for policy stamps.
Fire Department.—lnsurances are effected upon every de-
scription of property, at moderate rates.
Losses caused by explosion of gas are admitted by this
Company.

Nearly 500 pockets of new hops have come to hand since

are mostly in fine condition, and there is every prospect of
a large growth. The duty is called £260,000. Old and
and yearling hops are very dull, and lower to purchase.

ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

The following notice has been received, signed by
the Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company,
and dated Valentia, Saturday, Sept. 4, 11.45 a.m. :
" Sir, —I am instructed by the directors to state
that, owing to some cause, at present not ascer-
tained, but believed to arise from a fault existing
in the cable at a point hitherto undiscovered, there
have been no intelligible signals from Newfound-
land since one o'clock on Friday morning, the 3d
inst. The directors are now at Valentia, and, aided
by various scientific and practical electricians, arc
investigating the cause of the stoppage with a view
to remedy the existing difficulty. Under these
circumstances no time can at present be named for
opening the wire to the public.—Yours truly,
" GEORGE SAwARD, Secretary."

DEATH OF MR. JAMES M`GREGOR.—We regret
to learn that Mr. James M'Gregor, the late chairman off
_the
South-Eastern Railway Company, expired at an early hour
yesterday morning, under painfully sudden circumstances.
Mr. M'Gregor, at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon, called at
the shop of Mr. Douglas, hair-dresser, in New Bond-street,
and inquired if the assistant who usually attended on him
was disengaged, and the words had scarcely escaped his lips
when he fell, and on being raised was found unconscious.
Medical assistance was promptly obtained, and the eminent
gentleman called in at once pronounced the case that of para-
lysis. The unfortunate gentleman remained in the same
lamentable state at Mr. Douglas's until 7 o'clock yesterday
morning, when he died. In the course of the day his
corpse was removed to his private residence, in Eceleston-
square, Pimlico. The deceased gentleman was intimately
greatna rsou
tga ability, 1
oi tf ys,
connected with, and well known to, the leading commercial
men of Liverpool and the city of London,: particularly after
aunnddwie.rchveinry
he became the chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany, whose affairs he superintended for some years with
unfavourable
,ii,v re urned, after an unsuccessful contest in 1847, for the
nebolnesceirvrcaumstivetanpniceas.cipiHose.
Mr, M'Cire • •
gor was born in 1808, and was twice- manied,

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELD S.

These markets continue to be extensively supplied with
potatoes, in excellent condition. Although a large business
is doing in them, prices rule low. Regents are selling at
75s to 95s ; Shows, 55s to 75s ; and inferior qualities, 44s to
55s per stone. Last week's imports were only 10 bags from
Rotterdam..

WOOL MARKET.
Since our last report, so little business has been transacted
in foreign and colonial wool, that prices rule next to nomi-
nal. English qualities,. however, are in good request, at
extreme rates, with a fair demand on continental account.
Last week's imports were 121 bales from Smyrna, and 2,112
from Sydney.

RAYNOR.

Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the
plaintiff, and stated that, upon a certain day, he purchased
of a person named Marshall, a grease broker, a cask of palm
nut oil. Marshall sold the cask on behalf of his principals.
The cask was fetched by plaintiff, and, upon its arrival at
his premises, he discovered that it did not contain any
grease ; in fact it was sise, and neither animal nor vegetable
grease. Having paid for it, plaintiff called upon Marshall
and informed him of the circumstance. Marshall at once
disclosed his principal, and plaintiff stated the nature of his
claim to defendant. Defendant refused to return plaintiff
his money (X 4 Os. 10d.) ; hence the present action. The
cask was now lying at Symonds'-wharf.
Mr. Buchanan called plaintiff and witnesses, who proved
the above facts.
Some question having arisen as to the sample produced
at the time of sale, his Honour said that was no criterion.
Some time ago he (his Honour) remembered a case being tried
in which some hop pockets were sampled, and the sample
was a good one, but the pockets did not contain hops. The
person who made up the pockets knew where to cut samples.
Defendant insisted he was clearly not liable, as there was
no proof that palm nut oil had not been delivered from the
wharf ; but Mr. Buchanan insisted that plaintiff observed
his bad bargain as soon as he took the goods into stock, and
immediately communicated with defendant.
Verdict for plaintiff, with costs.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.
The Queen and King, whilst taking a drive on the
previous day, met a priest carrying the sacrament
to a sick person ; they immediately gave up their
carriage to him, and followed the vehicle on foot
to his destination. The recent seizures and pro-
secutions of journals are stated to have pro-
duced a bad impression on the public. The Espana,
notwithstanding the repeated seizures and heavy
fines to which it is subjected, attacks the Ministry
of O'Donnell with great violence. The Clamor
having given a summary of a sort of heterodox
metaphysical discourse pronounced by an indivi-
dual, under the real or cleverly dissimulated effects
of magnetism, the clerical journals demand the
immediate appointment of a special ecclesiastical
censor without who3e permission no article con-
taining religious topics shall be allowed to be pub-
lished. Surprise having been expressed that no
advertisements for the sale of property held in
mortmain had appeared, it is announced that the
value of much of the property has been much
modified since 1854, and has rendered fresh esti-
mates necessary.

The Peninsular Correspondence speaks as follows
of a rapid visit made to Madrid by Lord Cardigan :
—"His Lordship and bride, after staying here three
days, have left for Alicant on their way to Naples.
Although his lordship travelled incog., and did not
pay his respects to the British Ambassador
till the day of his departure, his round jacketed
suite (for his servants were in the costume of

finally approved by Colonel MtPherson, C. 8.,
Inspecting Field officer of the York district, up-
wards of 100 being for the Line ; the rest for Her
Majesty's Indian forces. They are all fine athletic
men, those for the Line averaging more than 5
feet 63- inches.
The non-commissioned officers of the Royal
Artillery yesterday met in a body at the canteen
establishment of their barracks at Woolwich and
presented their Drum-Major, Mr. Collins, with a
testimonial, on his retirement from the regiment
and promotion as bandmaster of the Queen's Royal
Rifles. The testimonial consisted of an elegant
and finely-chased silver cup, bearing the inscription
"Presented to Drum-Major Collins, R.A., by the
non-commissioned officers of the regiment, October,
1858." The testimonial was delivered by Sergeant-
Major Phillips.
The War Department yesterday took up the
Leader to ship stores from Woolwich for Malta:
the Catherine for Corfu ; the Spirit of the Age, for
the Mauritius ; the Benvenue, for Adelaide; and
the Sir Edward Paget, for Simon's Town.

makes in the name of the military authoritiOs
against the administration of the Archduke have
been submitted to a serious examination, and
it is hoped that a decision will be given which
will put an end to all differences. As to the
complaints of the civil administration, it is
stated that they are unfortunately not devoid
of foundation ;, in the Customs, in particular, it is
said that arbitrary acts have been committed, and
the Treasury has suffered. The police administra-
tion in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is to be
