Insurance Case.


about the points Of the Insurers defence in the
you mentioned yesterday, under the head OF !" SUI
perior Court" The first point stated is, that a
French brig was unseaworthy with "only four ca
bes and anchors" 1t is fact well known TO nsur-
ers-for all their books OF marine surveys show il
that French vessels carry about double the quanti-
ty OF ground tackle used by our American merchant
men, and are generally provided with more than
ere necessary II Is hard to imagine how supply
oil four cables and anchors can make vessel un-
seaworthy.-As to the jerk beef, il Is well known
that this is the principal article article OF export from
Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, to Havana and 9TH
er slave countries. in its monufacture II Is well
saturated with salt, dried thoroughly, and then pa-
ced in piles, where it lies corded-llke w00d-for
years, and cargo often remains ship board tor
period OF from six TO eighteen months, and then al
most invariably turns out in first rate order. 1t
only be damaged by the leaking of the vessel =
Those who have carried il, look upon il as a safer
article than beefin barrels-upon which claims Tor
average are often made, and it certainly is not
more perlshable in It's own nature than many
articles upon which insurers readily pay average.
la fact, ship masters insist that jerk beef Is less
liable to damage than any article known to the
South American trade. Ii is novel idea TO class IT
as memorandum article, }" when it is not named
such in the policies Of any country The insurers
had the making OF the "memorandum" themselves,
and they knew they knew the good character OF
Jerk beef too well TO place it in light so unjust.
Besides, il not the practice, among insurers, 10
extend the memorandum" il cannot be made to
cover any article not named specially therein =
There must be some other defence, for these points
do not appear 10 be well grounded. BKNEcKE

There is nothing particularly new in the papers,

important:

of great number of advocates, the extinction of the
University Of this island, the introduction Of
taxss-have excited, at last the public ndig
nation, and the opinion Of the natives is almost pro-
nounced.
The about the proposed purchase Of this island
by the Of the United States has reached
with incredible pleasure, and has been echoed with
shouts Of joy and enthusiasm in every quarter and by
every Creole heart.
An agent Of the government of the Union, with the
help OF brethren, the Anglo Americans, might be

To the Editor ofhs Union

To the Editor Of The Union;
observe in the New Orleans papers, report so
Injurious TO the gallant army Of occupation, that
beg leave to correct it through your columns wish
ing to secure TO the denial a circulation wide
the report itself possibly have attained. Ii Is
confidently asserted that the day after arrived
the Rio Grande, opposite Maamoras, the command
ing general at the sight Of Mexican guns pointed
towards his camp, ordered retrograde movement
for several miles in the direction Of Point Isabel.
Other accounts, derived probably from the right
bank Of the river, assuming that this movement took
place, represent II as a retreat.
Now retreat, among soldiers, is not deemed
creditabe, unless demanded by the most impera-
tive necessity; and il Is believed that the sensitive
natural TO humble participation in the scenes
now passing on the RIO Grande, will Justify the fol-
lowing brief record Of facts the best refutaron of
the unfounded charge.
The army Of occupation arrived on the Rio
Bravo, and encamped directly opposite Matamoras,
the 25th March Possession was thereby
taken of the territory, by the commander Of this
army, in the name Of the United States. At ~
O'Clock on that day, on the bank of the river, in
full view of the citizens and garrison Of Matamoras
a solemn act of sovereignty was performed by rails

hence nearly every part Of the army may have
slightly changed its POSITION but there is shadow
Of foundation, for the rumor that General Taylor

tinc assertion that the army of occupation has not
moved from It's original encampment, opposite
Matamoras, and that formidable siege battery
has been for many days established within three

Hunts Merchants Magazine for May is out, and -,
like all its predecessors is rich in general CONNER
cIal, and statistical information. regret my want
Of space prevents me from giving details. Mr..
Hunt deserves great credit for the industry and
ability with which he conducts this valuable maga-
zine.
1t is gratifying to know that his labors have been
appreciated and acknowledged in Europe, as well as
in the United States. In looking over the extensive
and valuable statistical work Of Mr.. McGregor, of
the English board of trade, compiled and published
by order Of her Maesty's government, | find the
author has awaited hmsefina great variety of cases
Of Mr. Hunts magazine, not without due credit
however. This great statistical work is to embrace
when complete, the statistics Of all nations. The
present is the fret volume, embracing the statistics
of the United States, and venture to assert that
more valuable work to the statesman and political
economist, even of own country, has never been
published. This valuable work proves the import
ance and necessity for the establishment of Stats
teal bureau in this country an institution long re-
quired, and which could not fail of proving highly
useful
