York, on Monday last, bringing Liverpool dates
to March 18th; summary of the intelligence

| credited.-Rear Admiral Sir Charles Ogle is
appointed TO the command of the North Ameri-
can station.-It was confidently reported in
London on the 18th of March, that Sir H. Clin-
ton had written home in the strongest terms
for rcinforcements. The gallant General, il is
said, has declared 5000 additional troops abso-
utely necessary.-On the 4th of March there
was a most extraordinary fall of snow in Scot
land. There had not been so great a fall, in
so short period of time, since February, 1893,
when parts of it which had got into hollows
and against walls, remained undissolved in June
The papers announce the loss of two valua-
BILE vessels: the Java Packet from Batavia, off
Flushing, with a cargo of 5000 bags of coffee,
and the whole of her crew, consisting of thirty
souls, the pilot only savcd); and the Marmion,

go valued at from 90 TO 70, 900 pounds sterling.

The London Waterman, Ga new Sunday pa
per) Of the lth says, the state of the new corn
measure in the House Of Commons is simply
this: Mr.. Whtmore's motion TO make fifty in
stead Of sixty shillings the regular price of
wheat, and at that price impose 20s. per quar-
Ter of duty, was negativcd by ma orty OF S35
to so. The resolution originally proposed by
Mr.. Canning to make sixty sbillings the regu-
lat d,,fx, nfO NJ 81,
two shillings for every shilling Of rise Of price,
has been agreed to without a division. As
soon as the resolutions are all passed, bill will
be brought in founded on them, and then proba-
bly, the debate will take place upon the merits
OF the measure. As to oats and barley, tho
consideration Of the resolution relative them
has been postponed. Some alteration is proba-
bly, entertained.
On the 9th Of March the motion made by
Sir Francis Burdett, for the removal of the
Catholic disabilities, was debated in the House,
and lost by majority of four-the numbers
being for the motion 272 and 276 against it.
ConstantinOple Feb. S-The English Am
bassador has renewed his proposals relative to
the pacifcation of Greece, and in a note which
he has just presented, has demanded in the first
place, the cessation of hostilities. II is believ-
that this demand will be supported by the am
bassadors of Austria and Russia.
London, March 12.-This morning there
was much agitation in the stock markets.
Consols opened at So l-S and soon declined to
81 Ia. Some large sales were effected at
81 7-s, and being followed by more at de-
pressed quotation, a fall in the Consols was the
consequence. At two, they recovered little,
being 81 2-s. Foreign Stocks have been
slightly affected by the fall in Consols. Ru-
mors were very rife in the city this morning.
