nea- We are Informed by the parties who
have been appointed by the Governor to
collect the Statc-armS borrowed for the vol.
untcer companies, that many of the mus
kets, swords anil pistols are still withheld.
This is not right, The arms belong to the
State, and the parties who borrowed them
are individually bound for their value il
they BIO lost aud any man who holds one
or more Of them, by refusing to return
them, is guilty of a very grave wrong, The
arms are greatly needed by the State, aud
as they require alterations and repairs, no
time should be lost in bringing them for
ward, that they may be made fit for effect

its commercial article, remarks
The last mails from Europe brought intelligence
TO our marine insurance companies with regard to
the fitting out Of privateers in England, which in
duced them to-day to raise their rates for risks
on American ships from I to 3, 4, D, and in some
instances G per cent. This amounts, of course TO
resigning the command Of the ocean 20 foreign
vessels. Our ships cannot compete with British
vessels while paying per cent extra for war
risk and the legitimate consequences of the resou-
ton adopted to-day by the leading companies will
be that IN a few weeks the bulk Of our vessels will
be laid up at home. ul

are summoned to meet in this city o. Thursday of

party magnates who have entered into secret un-
