A NOVEL INSURANCE CAsE-One of the
courts OF Missouri has just had before il a
novel kind of case, founded upon the insur-
ance OF a house. 1t appears that the building,
which was insured from loss by fire, fell
down, and the fall occasioned fire which de.
stroyed the fallen material. The question was
whether the insurance company was LIABLE
and the court decided that the building in.
sured, having fallen, ceased 10 exist as such:
that it ceased TO exist by peril not insured
against: that the fire occurred after the build
ing ceased to exist, and therefore the insurance
company was not liable

FINANCIAL.-AfaIrsI IN Wall street continue
very dull, but without any attendant depres-
sion OF prices. Gold still absorbs the specula-
tive interest. The low condition OF the specie
deposits in the banks has aided the bull side of
the Gold room. The Commercial Advertiser
says:-It Is now comparatively easy for a few
heavy spectators TO keep gold scarce; after
the LIST OF July, however, about nine millions
will be paid out of the Treasury upon cou-
pons, which, in the absence of a demand for
export, will keep the market easier for a few
weeks. In the meantime, however, the
supply here is being gradually augmented by
receipts from the interior. There are no indi-
cations of any shipments of importance being
made TO- morrow. Governments are quiet;
quotations unchanged. The miscellaneous
list Is dull and weak. The money market is
sluggish. There is a great abundance of idle
funds, and the demand from brokers and mer-
chants is very light. On call loans the rate is
generally four per cent, with exceptions at
five per cent. Discounts are quiet; the best
names pass readily at 5a6 per cent.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The following dispatch has been sent from
this city to Northern papers:
"WAsHINGToN, Oct 23.-The instruction. q,
Hon. L. u. Campbell. Minister to Mexico wsrs
prepared on Saturday last but owing to hi,
non arrival, were not delivered to him untiI
to-day. 1t is doubtful, however whether pri
parture. He has asked leave of the President
TO remain long enough to fix up his affairs
but the President replied that the urgency of
the case admitted of no delay, and that ii he
cannot leave a. once another minister must ba
appointed IN bis stead. Should he decline po
ing. smother appointment will be made to.mor.
row.
The French Government ask for an exten.
sion OF the time tor the withdrawal Of the first
instalment OF its troops till January first offer.
ing in that case 10 waive the time allowed for
the withdrawal of the balance OF its troops
and remove all the troops substantially az one
time. This proposition has not bee assepted
to, but Ii is insisted that IL shall Commences ar
oAce and proceed as rapidly as possible. 1t
is hoped that the whole body Of troops will be
Withdrawn within three months. In view of
the anarchy prevalent in Mexico, our Gov.
ernment will be prepared to protect the Juarez
Government, and finally establish It. In con.
sideratiou of this, Lower California and the
northern part Of Sinola and Chihuah IA are to
be ceded to the United States. No agreement
has been made by our Government to guarap.
tee French claims against Mexico, but should
it appear expedient. IL will not hesitate to do
so. The enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
and the establishment Of q stable repu blican
government in Mexico are considered Of para
mount importance. The matter has been fully
discussed in the cabinet and UNANIMOUSLY
agreed upon"
The nodicum of ascertained fact In the above
seems to be that Mr.. Campbell is certainly here
receiving his final instructions, and that the
Government recognizes the Juarez Govern.
ment as it has always done; but the allegations
that we are TO interfere in Mexican affairs to
the extent stated above are pure speculation
and guess-work. The persistently crc ulated
reports in regard to the unqualified support to
be given by this Government to the Juarez
Government would seem to be pread in the
interest Of the Juarez bond.holders.
