rain did not cease till the 26th of Augu,t, and did not
recommence till the 16th of September. It is not amiss
to make this observation at the moment when the gene-
ral harvest is on the point of beginning. It is well
known that the harvest of 1844 was abundant and of
good quality.
A letter from Arlon of the 16th announces the arrival
of M. de Moor, inspector of bridges and- highways, on
Wednesday last. He is accompanied by numerous as-
sistants, who, together with those already in Luxem-
burg, are going to commence the surveys for the iron
railway in that province. These surveys are to be car-
ried on with so much activity, that they will be com-
pletely finished by the month of November next, the
time of the opening of the Chambers. If, as we have
no doubt, the concession is granted, the works may com-
mence in the next seas, a.
ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 7.—An imperial ukase has
just been published, the chief articles of which are the
following :

The
1. The coasting trade, that is to say the conveyance
of goods from one Russian port to another, in the same
sea, shall be henceforth exclusively reserved to Russian
subjects and ships sailing under Russian colouri.
2. A duty of 50 per cent., besides that fixed by the
tariff, shall be ]..vied on goods of whatever origin im-
ported under foreign colours.
3. Foreign ships shall pay in our ports a tonnage duty
of one silver ruble per last both on their arrival and de-
parture. _

4. The regulations in sections 2 and 3 shall be in
force from. the opening of the navigation in 1846, and
shall so remain as long as the circumstances shall con-
tinue which have induced this measure.
5. The ships of those nations are exempted from the
regulations of sections 2 and 3, in which ports the Russian
flag is treated on the same footing as the national flag, or
as that of the most favoured nations, and the ships of that
nation shall be assimilated to the, Russian vessels in
regard to the duties of navigation, either in the ports of
the Russian empire or the Grand Duchy of .Finland.
6. By virtue of the rule laid down in the preceding
paragraph, every difference which shall remain, or which
shall result in future, from this ukase, between Russian
and foreign ships in the ports of the empire of Russia
and the Grand Duchy of Finland, with respect to the
navigation and other duties, in favour of any nation, the
Government of which grants entire reciprocity to the
Russian flag, shall be suppressed.—Jon, nal de Frankfort,
August 18.

FATAL ACCIDENT.--. 011 Tuesday nigl-t, about
eleven o'clock, as Mr. H. Bromley was returning to his house,
the Brecknock Arms. Camden-town, he was thrown from his
horse within 150 yards of his residence, to which he was con-
veyed, and expired in an hour and a quarter. It appears
that his horse, which was a high spirited one, took fright at
a gaslight which suddenly becomes visible at that point, and
threw him on his head, by which his neck was dislocated. He
gave no signs of consciousness up to the moment of his death.
A. correspondent complains of the frequent incon-
venience to which he has been subjected by the loss of letters
sent by the post, and wlieh, in spite of the paraphernalia of
printed forms, rules, regulations, Sec., seems to be irreparable.
Perhaps he goes too far in speaking of the misfortune as a
common one ; but his remark that the practice of pre-payment
off..rs a temptation to neglect on the part of the postmen i 3
worth attention. Formerly the postman paid for the letters as
he took them from the office, and the only means of reimburs-
ing himself was by delivering them at their several addresses.
Now, the letters being prepaid, this inducement to a punctual
performance of duty ceases to exist, and the non“delivery
of
letters becomes more probable, though still, it must be con-
fessed, it is very rare.— Times.
STAGE COAcill OVERTURNED.—On Tuesday night
an accident occurred in New Coventry-street, Leicester-
square, which had nearly been attended with serious conse-
quences to two ladies and a gentleman. A stage coach, having
three inside passengers, who had arrived in it from the ter-
minus at Nine Elms, was proceeding at a rapid rate along
New Coventry.street, when the coachman drove over a heap
of rubbish, which overturned the coach. Fortunately the pas-
sengers got out uninjured.

APPEARANCE OF A PIRATE AT THE BAHAMAS.
The English ship Thunderer, charged with the duty of ex-
ploring the passages of the Bahamas, Gulf of Florida, arrived
at Key West 24th of April, reports appearances of a pirate
during her voyage from Nassau. Several ships bound to the

any visible reason. It is supposed the vessel was a pirate, and
had captured those ships which had disappeared.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.—Another meeting in favour
of Mr. Aliall was held at the Working Man's Chapel, Ber-
mondsey, Mr. Webb in the chair, when after an address from
that gentleman, in which he declared himself against all Eccle-
siastical Endowments, and in favour of the Voluntary System,
and also for the Repeal of the Corn-laws and Complete Suf-
frage ; a resolution was carried, pledging the meeting to use its
best exertions to effect his return to Parliament. Meanwhile
the friends of Sir Wrii. Molesworth pursued their canvass, and,
according to the statement of the committee, with great success.
They expect before Saturday a thousand promises, though
then only a portion of the borough will be canvassed. Arrange-
ments are making for a series of ward meetings, at which Sir
William will more fully explain his views en the points at ksue
le ween him and Mr. Miall, than he did at the meeting on
Monday evening. Mr.. l'Ocher's hopes of success are based on
the division in the Liberal ranks, and the support of the 'furies.
To the latter party he is endeavouring to make himself as
acceptable as
.passible on the Church question, It is to be

Prices were without alterielon. There was a full choice. A
limited business only was done is Shares, but the mallet was
firmer.

market for produce, the high rate of the exchanges produc-
ing this effect. Sugar had been quiet. In imports the busi-
ness dune was under the usual average.
