Aopeots of insolvent banks, Bends and mortgages. ... Money in the treasury, Debt of the fund....... During that part of the fiscal year which preeeded the passage of the act of 12th April, 1851, chapter 464, creating a banking department, and detaching qrerathing relating to banks and banking from the Comptroller’s Department, few incidents occurred ‘in relation thereto requiring special notice from this Office. The Comptroller was informed, on the 6th of March last, that the notes of the Lewis County ‘Bank were not redeemed by its agent in this city, ‘and thero was roason to fear the institution was in- solvent. No time was lost in cae sae ina- tion of its affairs, through Androw White, Esq,, of this city, who, after adopting such measures as ‘were deemed advisable to pores any impro application of the funds of the bank, and after in- vestigating its condition, was preparing his report. ‘At this time representations were made, that a dittle delay aie enable the friends of the bank to strengthen it as tosave themselves and the pub- lic from impending loss. ‘The report was delayed, and, in a short time, efforts so efficient and well directod wore applied, as to authorize the agent to report large additional securities for future operations, and avery heavy reduction of its circulation. Under these ciroum- tances, tho bank was permitted to proceed, as it bas continned to do, it is believed, prosporously. Between the 10th of March and tho 28th of Juno, when Mr. St. John assumed tke control of the Banking De, ent, the circulation of this bank ist reduced more than one hundred thousand Oils ra. It will be seén by the foregoing statement that the balance in the Treasury, transferred to the Superintendent on the 28th of June last, was $20,91950 For such information as may be useful and neo ‘y, on the subject of banks and banking in this State, the Comptroller takes great pleasure in referring the Legislature to the report which will bo presonted by the Superintendent of that de- partment, availing himself, at the samo time, of the opportunity to express his firm conviction of the wisdom of the measure adopted by the last Legislature, making this a separate and distinot branch of the State gevernmont. MARINERS’ FUND- This fund consists of the Rellowing items, viz : Mortgage of the Ameriean Seamens’ Friend Society, (without interest) +$10,000 00 Money in the Treasury. 164 81 Bloney in the Treasury paid under protest. 144,058 98 $154,223 79 For money in the Treasury abovo represented as having been ‘paid under protest,” to wit, $144,053 98, the Comptroller was directed, by chap. 634 of the Laws of 1851, to draw his warrant on the Treasurer, payable to the merchants, masters, or * owners of vessels on whose accounts the money was originally paid, when they should make good their claims to the same, taking a good and sufficient re- dease of all claims therefor against the State and the Health Commissioners, to whom payments were Originally made. ¥ Upon an examination of the accounts and vouch- @rsin this Department, it soon became manifest that, as these accounts had reference to the deposi- tors of the funds (the Health Commissioners), and not to the original payers, it would be impracti- cable, without much preparation in procuring books and papers, or copies, from the office of the Health Commissioners and other places, to mak» such a careful and thorough investigation of thes Dumercus demands as their nature and the magni tude of tho sums involved obviously required. Pre suming that facts might be developed calling often for iogal opinions upon complicated questions, and were, also, that the examination coald be le ®ore conveniently to all parties in New York then elsewhere, the Comptroiler requested, and fortu- nately, a3 ho thinks, ebtained the aid of the late Chief Justice Bronson in arranging the papers, fruperintending the statements, deciding coxtro- ‘verted points, and settling the sum to be paid upon each of the Claims. In doing this, the very syste- Jmaiic and regular books ™m the Health Commis- Bioners’ office were found to bo Creseig Me usefal, in testing and deciding the correctness of vouchers submitted by the claimants. The report of Judge Bsonson was received about the 25th of October, and after a full comparison of tho results and details, with such sources of Formation as were attainable in the Comptroller's office, and becoming convinced of their accuracy, ments have been made since the close of the al year, of such sums as have been demanded by thove persons to whom thoy were respectively gwardcd, or their attorneys. Tn all cases what is @eemci # sufficient and suitable release, has been taken from (he parties and is filed in this office. A copy thereof accou.@nies Judge Bronson’s report on this eubject.

One hundred and fifty-two Onondagas were found at the time of the last payment, residing on the Cattaraugus, the Allegany, the ‘Tonawanda and the Tuscarora reservations, and the amount paid them was $792 62. The commission of 3 per cent on this sum, amounts to $23 78; the actual expense of first enumerating them, and afterwards paying their annuities, was nearly, or quite $100. STATE PRISONS. The Crinton Prison, from its short period of existenco, the difficulty which there seems to be in furnishing profitable eusloyment for the prisoners, and the limited number of the prisoners confined there, will necessarily show a heavier expenditure in proportion to its numbers, than the other prisons. The average number of prisoners at that place for the year ending 30th September last, was but 114}, while Auburn averaged 752, and Sing Sing 723 males and 73 females, in all 796. Avpurn Prison.—The general management of the Auburn Prison, so far as this department is Particularly concerned, continues to be quite satis- factory. Its financial affairs are well conducted at the prison, and give rise, of course, to no perplexing difficulties here. : Sine Sine Prison seems emerging from its former troubles of a financial character, and it is much to be hoped its prison accounts will be made hereafter to exhibit the true condition of its business. The past difficulties with this prison have arisen, ina great measure, from the loose and imperfect man- ner of Keeping. its accounts. Taking receipts in advance, the bills in fact not having been paid, and paying bills by instalments, without taking receipts at the time, are practices which apy to have been common, but which lead inevitably to confu- sion and disputes. The practice of contracting dobts, without being careful to retain exact accounts of them, has hereto- fore created much trouble. Mr. Rowell’s accounts with the prison have finally been adjusted and paid off, as have also those of the succeeding agent, Mr. Smith; and it is hoped that, by the aid and attention of the Board of In- epectors, as well as a more rigid observance of well considered regulations, the difficulties which have occasioned 80 much perplexity and inconvenience for some years past, may horoatter be avoided. The Spprpe ean of $14,000, in section one of chap 43], of the past year, has been found insufficiont to pay off the indebtedness created prior to first Oc- tober, 1850; several demands having been presented for payment since that appropriation has been ex- hausted. A further appropriation will be necessary to complete the payments of these former debts. AUCTION DUTIES These duties constituteja very valuable portion of our State revenue, having amounted for the p-18; year to $102,567 02. ‘The attention given last year by Mr. Kirkpat- rick, the agent sent by the Comptroller to the city of New York, is believed to have been follewed by geod effects; and with certain amendments to chap- 399 of the act of S49, which could better be ex- plained by Mr. K than perhaps in any other man- ner, tho Comptroller is of opinion that the occa- sional visitations in that city of a faithful and di creet agent, would be effectual in breakingup a se- ries of paltry peculations, as annoying te regular and honest auctioneers, as they are detrimental to the revenues of the State, and injurious to the cha- racter of its legislation. 2 The agent above mentioned, Mr. Kirkpatrick, of this city, is now in Now York making oxaminations on this subject, under the provisions of the act above cited. 4 Severabauctioneers, entertaining tho opinionthat the constitution does not sanction laws imposing duties on their sales, accompany their remittances of the duty with a protest to the Treasurer and Comptroller, against the legality of the require- ment. The money has, however, been placed in the Treasury. TAX SALES. The last tax sale was closed the 16th of Dorey- ber, 18455} and the timo for redemption of lands then cold, terminated on the 16th of December, 1850. nog? amount of land was disposed of at that sele forthé taxes of 1340 to 1844 inclusive; and towards the close of the term allowed for redemp- tion, the applications for that and other purposes became so numerous, that, for several days, the most that could be done by the tax clerks was to ncf@ them, and deposite with tho Treasurer the various &Ums of money left for payment of taxes and for rec*mptions, with such memoranda as would inure the:" appropriate destination. It demanded consta”t and careful attention for weeks and months to make the needful entries consequent upon this transaction, and yet other weeks and months soto post asd condonse these entries as to give the greatest seeurity and facility to future operations. ‘The attention of the Legislature has been here- tofore invited to the effect of those tax sales upon the treasury. Taxes assessed upon non-residont lands, aud returned unpaid, unless rejected for some irregularity, are paid over to tho counties— the State advancing these taxes to the} counties, and assuming their collection. ‘This is unquestionably right, and gonevally its result is favorable to all parties. But when the quantity of these lands is great, and they are ox- travagantly assessed, the effect is injurious, not only to the owner of the land, but to the interest of the State. That they are thus assessed, is shown by the abandonment of these lands, in many in- siances, by their ownere, in preference to payiug the taxes upon them. Lands, at the sales ot 154, were received by the State, in lieu of tho taxes due vpon them, to an amount over $30,000, a large proportion of which are of the description re- terred to. There lands are rarely re-sold by the Scaté, at otst; and the los", fa printipal and interest, ba- somes @ certous liem. If ¢! commendation in the Comptroller's re- port o! December, 1848, page 79, that these Jands should be struck off to the towns in which they lie, and that the towns be debited by the Comptroller with the taxes and charges, to be re- assessed upon the samo towns, it weuld chock the excessive Valuation, which is the root of this evil, and it ig not perceived that injustice would bo done to any party. The annual sales directed by the act of 1850 to | be made in the counties, will prevent an accumula- tien of taxes; but whether it wiil modify the ox- travagance of assessm remains to be seen. Cottheefed with the ot of tax sales, is that ; of tax titles. The policy ‘of tho government is, or thould be, that the purchaser pay a reasonable sum for the land be buys at a tax sale. Whatever goes 0 diminish or discourage fair competition, abould be remedied. A title of doubtful vac ue or validity dces this. This uncertainty of tite gives tho whole | matter of tax alco a hazardous and 9, culative character, and loade almost necessarily to lisputes and litigation. Auothor ale, at the capital, for taxes of 196.7 & | Jo48 inclusive, is desirable before the act of 15%." These companies have all submitted their articles of association to the Attorney-General, 7. oured his certificate that renecare ohar' were not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the State; have obtained the appointment of three as judicious and discreet men as the Comptroller could select after careful consideration and inquiry, as examiners and appraisers of their capital stock, whether cash paid in, or secured to be paid in, or premium notes. The reports of these examiners, have, in all een made in due form, and to all appearance, such as justified the issuing of a certificate that the law had been complied with, and the companies wore entitled to proceed in the business of insur- anoo. After all the precautions pointed out in the law of 1849, suspicions rest en many minds that some of these companies, cither from misrepresen- tations in ais to their capital—this being some times thou ght to have heen borrowed for the occa sion—or from secret understandings with the mak- ers of large premium notes, that these notes should be exonerated from assessments, in caso of losses, or from other causes, will not prove so firm and responsible as to be safe guarantors against the disasters they profess to relieve. Most of them have made the reports required by law. It is not an casy matter to determine the degree of confidence an Insurance Company may rightful- ly claim. The Comptroller’s certificate of which considerable use is sometimes made in gaining the confidence of inquirers and the public, amounts to nothing more than a declaration that, apparently, by company has commenced operations according 0 law. These remarks are by no means made to excite suspicion; but to prevent undue importance bein; attached to the filing of the charter in the office of the Secretary of State, the endorsed opinion of the Attorney General, and tho certificate of the Comp- troller—all relating rather to the forms of procest ing, than te the substantial power and strength of the Coase That our ce companies are generally con- ducted with uprightness and prudence, there is much reagon to believe; but the act of 1819, under which most of them are organized, is fective. There would be a propriety in auth: Comptroller to withhold certificates to agents of foreign companies, until satisfied that dues to the town or village fire companies had been paid. Those payments are ofventimes neglected. ‘he revenues from marine insurance is this year $479 47 only. . No charge is made for the labor of this office connected with fire and marineinsurance. A large share of the service of one clork, and a con- siderable expenditure for blanks, &c., are bestew- ed upon these companies gratuitously. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES . This is a business of a more serious character, a8 it is necessarily of longer duration than insurance against fire and marine disasters, and fortunately it is reduced to almost the certainty of mathematical demonstration. These demonstrations, however, being only attained by great labor and mathemati- cal skill, are seldom attempted by those most im- mediately intorested, the assured. Henoo the pro- priety of reasonable legislative provisions for com- pelling those who undertake the business of insu- tance on lives, to conduct their affairs on such tried and safe principles as will enable thom, with cer- tainty, to ele pale to be consummated, perhaps, at a distant future day. Life, as well as marino and fire companies, have sprung arin into existence within the last fow years. Of life Glseor erppsieed in this State, there were on the 8th of April last, OF those organized in other States or foreign governments, but having agencies and doing business in this State, there were Seo statement marked L. The act_pf 8th of April last, required these com- panies to deposite with the Cemptroller $50,000 by the Ist day of EES Aa then next, and a further sum of $50,000 by the Ist of February, 1352. Hight of the sompanion last above referred to, re com plied with the requirements of this act, a3 follows: The New York Life Insurance and Trust Com- pany has deposited $100,000 in U. S.6 per cent stocks. _ The New York Life Insurance Company, New see has deposited $50,000 in U.S.5 por cent stocks. The United States Life Insurance Company, New York, has deposited $56,500 in bonds and mortgages. < The Mutual Life Insurance Company, Now York, has deposited $100,000 in a bond and mort- gage. Fhe Manhattan Life Insurance Company, New York, has deposited $49,500 in bonds and mort- goger, and $500 in U. 8. 6 per cent stocks. ‘he Mutual Life Insurance Company, New Jor- ey, $50,000 in Brooklyn city bonds. he Albion Life Insuranee Company, London, $100,000 in U. S. 6 per cent stosks. The New England Life Insurance Company, Bos ton, $50,000 in Albany city stocks; afterwards withdrawn and exchanged for $60,000 in bonds and mortgages substituted tor the Albany city stocl The property covered by the mortgages, all cases, been examined by James Hornor, An- Grew Carrigan and J. W. Allen, Esquires, of New York, or a majority of them, who have certified that it is worth, in theic judgment, at least fifty per cent more thanthe sum for which it is mort- gaged; andthe certificate of Jopathan Miller, Esq , of New York, is filed with the papers in each case, setting forth, that upon diligent search and in- vestigation, he is satisfied of the soundness of title, and that there are uo prior conflicting incum- brances. A fow companies in other States aro hesitating whether they will make their deposits. If the true construction of the act of 8th April last, is given in the circular of the Comptroller, vz: that these deposits would be held ** only for the benefit of those holding policies in this State,” they deem the Jaw eevere on foreign companies. This may or may not be the true legal coxstruction of the act, so far as regards companies organized in this State. These companies may Vo discontinued, and their affairs closed, by order of court, under the 6sh section of the act, in such mannor as to extend the berefits of this fund to persons in other States, holding policies from sucn company; but, in tegara to foreign or domestis companies, ‘a1; = linquieh business.” *** Comptroller i first impression of the meaning of the rect. Such companies cannot receive back their deposits till all the claims of persons in this State against them are fully settled and paid. No insurarce has come to the knowledge of the Comptroller, where new policies for life, or for a time shorter than life, have been izsued since tho Sth day of August last, by companies either foroign or doméatio, other than vrs? Who have made tne required deposit; that ail Tompanies appa soli, tinue lo receive premiums and pay losse. “* > cies made prior to that time, admits of no doubt. Edmund Blunt, Esquire, @ gentleman of bigh mathematical attainments, and famusr with tie subject of life insurance, has consonted to uu.tertake the examination, when required to do so, o1 the companies doing business in this State. Tho Comptroller deems it fortunate for all concerned, that Mr. Blunt’s services are secured for that purpose. Frovision is made in the 6th section of the act of Juiy 10th, 1851, for the enlargement of the Erie canal, &c., allowing foreign companies to avail themselves of canal revenue certificates, for makin, their life insurance deposits; that the same privi- lege was not extended to domestic companies, is presumed to have been an oversight. This is a eubject upon which our citizens feel an g interest. Tho law of last spring was as nsidered as was practicable, under the pres- ture of other legislative duties. Its execution, thus far, has unfolded no objections that appear tovious. The companies which bave complied with the provisions cf that law, do not perceive any un- expected difficulties attending it; and if the Comp- troiler may be permitted, in viow of his short expe- rience of its operation, and his imperfect knowledge of the subject, to advance an opinion, it is that the meprure is & Wife and just one, which sbould not, ccrtainly at preeent, be departed from or essentially changed. PURCHASERS OF LANDS IN ONRIDA RESBRVATION. ‘The precise amount of the deductions to be made upen the original obligations given for these lands. under the act of 6th April, 1350, was not ascortaine on the 30th September last The calculations have since been ee and the sum to be thus de- ducted is found to be $48,155 56, an amount somo- what beyond what was anticipated. This subject > war adverted to and explained in the last report | this department, at page 57. The bonds from which the: made, under the act aforesaid, belonged to the School Fund; the amount must, therefore, be re- stored to that fund from the General Fund. iMPROVEMBNT OF THE CHANNEL OF THE OUTLET OF PiISECO LAKE, IN HAMILTON COUNTY. Chapt er 492 of the Laws of 1851, appropriates one thousand dollars to this object, to bo Loge to, and eaporded by, Williom B. Peck, of aa Hamilton, and Hezekiah Sage, of the county of Madison ‘These gentiemon have drawn the amount appro- priated, ard, as appears by their report, thoy have expended cight hundred racaday oi two dollars and ay pty seven cente, leaving in thoir handsa balance $ll7 23. deductions havo been id county of | tages, but revenues of the but important ob Inallshes impo Ens ral but rtant object, vemen'| of the waters, is the gradaal fitting of the them, for the reception of settlers. of such stroams as can be made navigable, and the establishment of com. fortable reads, are among the si and indeed are almost the only inducements to the settlement of the northern part of Hamilton, and some of the adjoining timbered territory. IMPROVEMENT OF SARANAC RIVER AND LAKES. George Parsons, of Satanac, and Moss h Platt, of Plattsburg, in Clinton county, and Robert Gilchrist, of Johnsburg, in the county of Warren, were appsinted by chapter 362. Inwe of 1851, to su- perintend the expendi:ure of $5,000 for each of the Years 1852 and 1553, in clearing and improving the channel of the Saranac, and the channel connecting {he upper and lower Saranac lakes and their tribu- Ties. These gentlemen have filed the bond required by the statute; but have not drawn any part of the sums appropriated, the appropriations having been made for the yéars 1852 and 1853. Whether the werk be been commenced, the depar:ment is not advieed. SAVINGS BANKS. The Comptroller was required, by a joint resolu- tion passed by the Assembly on the 12th, and con- curred in by the Senate on the 16th of April last, to appoint an agent or agents not exceeding three, **to inquire and ascertain the amount of unclaimod divi- dends and deposits made prior to the first day of January, 1349, in the savings banks of this State, and of banks of issue, and deposit, empowering such agents to administer oaths, oxamino the books and afluirs of such banks, inquiro into the securiti held for tho payment of the deposits held in tru: by the banks, and to repert the result of such @; aminationto the next Legislature within ton day after its session commenges.”” In obedience to the requirement of the renolu- tien, the Comptroller, on the 23d of April last, ap- pemiee George Underwood, of Auburn, Abram ‘akeman, ot New York, and George A. 8. Crooker, of Cattaragus county, as such agents. These gentlemen have beon some time engaged in the performanee of tho duties prescribed; and the amount of labor which is understood to be involved in some cases, indicates the importance and the ne- cessity of investigation. HALF MIML TAX. The proceeds of the half mill tax upon the cor- rected valuation of the real and personal estate of the State of New York for the year 1850, amoux‘ed, as will be seen by statement marked 1), to the gross eum of $364,003 75; of this sum $274,074 65 has been i a paid into the Treasury, and the sum of $23,064 25 remained unpaid by several county treasurers at the close of the prosent year. The same statement exhibits tho proportion of this tax paid by the respective eountios in 1850, and a column is introducod into this statement showing the amount received from the Treasury by each county in the State for unpaid non-resident taxes within said counties the samo year. STATIONERY FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND THE PUBLIC OFFICES. ‘The amount expended during the past year a3 will be seen by the annexed statement marked S, was $6,558 34 CLERKS IN THE PUBLIC OFFICES. Statement K gives thenames and the salaries of the clerks in cach of the State offices. So far as relates to those in the Comptroller’s immediate department, it has beon considered for the interest of the State to erunloy them on extra service rather than to Ge the number by introducing those comparatively inexperienced; and the Comptroller has no doubt that the uncommon amount of noces- sary labor the past year, hasthus been better per- formed than it would have been by increasing the clerical force. VALUATION OF REAL AND PERSONAT. PROPERTY. Although the clerks of the respective boards of supervisors have been twice addressed during tho last fow weeks by eirculars, asking their particular attention to the provision requiring a retura of the above valuation, to this office, the tement shows a failure to do so, at this time, (Deo. 31,) in seve- ral counties. Enough, however, is found to show the good effect of the well directed legislation of last winter, on the subject of valuation. In his haste to send abroad, at an early day, a circular to the Boaros of Assessors, directing attention to the new enactment, (see Appendix X,) tho Comp- treller overlooked the fact that the word ‘“agont” had been insertod in the second gestion of the act. Explanations of the effect of thia addition of the word agent, have been repeatedly asked of this do- partment, which might have been, perhaps, more satisfactorily given in the circular referred to than otherwise, had the change been soover noticed. It is here mentioned, as one of those provisions in the law not so well understood by assessors, as to be acted upon without hesitancy and doubt; some thirkivg one species of property only, and some ancther, falling within the rule. In somo of our northern countivs objections have been interposed to thetaxing of land contracts ia the hands o° agents; and in cases where the propriety of a tax is not denied, the question, nt what sum thoy sbou!d be valued, whether at the amount of prin- cipal and interest nominally due, or at an estimate of their fuir probable value, has frequently arisen. Many othcr questions of doubt suggest themselves, under the various circumstances connected with 23- sessments in the different parts of the State, which it is very desirable should bo explained, as far a is practicable, by careful, gislation IMPROVEMENT well cousidered le- of THE UPPER WATERS OF THE HUDSON The reporte of the severvl commissioners on this subject, will bo found subjoined marked N. O. P. DEFICIENT APPROPRIATIONS. In_a few instances the appropriations by tho last Legislature for the current Escal year, have been found to bo insufficient. That for engraving, mapping, &c., under ehap. 493, already advertod to in this report, will require, as is estimated, to pay indebtedness already created, and that which may beincurred during the year, $14,000. Tho sum granted for the expenses of tho public offices has but asmallamoun’ remaining on hand. The omission to appropria‘e the salary and usual contingent expenses of the transfer officer in tho Merchants’ Bank of New York, is presumed to havo been accidental. The exponses of that office dur- ing the currert year, are stated at $25 50, which, wth the salary, is > 50. The sum appropriated by he 19:h see. of chap. 134, Laws of 151, is not believed to bo a reagona- ble and equitable remuneration for the actual cost of ‘the copies of the original standards of woights and measures,” made in pursuance of tho act aforesaid and deposited inthe State Hall. A far- ther sum of is asked for, to make what is decmeu a) ompentatioi for this sorviee. Som further provision of five or six hundred dollars for dofiaying expenses of the old Sta‘?

Political and Financial Affairs— Treaty with Great Britain—Revolution in Chili—Riot in Valparaiso —News from Bolivia, ¥c. { have little to communicate from this country at present. The general state of affairs is good» and General Echenique continues gaining @ well- morited popularity with his administration. The monetary question with Bolivia has been postponed until the next Legislature, and, no doubt, will be arranged very satisfactorily for both sides. The treaty concluded with Great Britain has been approved and published, aud certainly com- prises points of marked utility for both nations. The government has in view tho construction of a railroad from Arica to Tacua, and has already directed competent engineers to the place, to as- certain the expense, and make out the tatimates. Tacua is a flourishing town, only thirty-six miles from the coast, and the trade carried on through this point is vegy considerable. Dr. D Bartolome Herrera has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Kome. cenit Undoubtedly, since my last, the revolution that broke out in Coquimbo two months ago, has spread widely through tbe country. The liberal party has many influential people and partisans of known notoriety ; the government finds every day less means to check this spirit, which is not secialism, as they suppose, buta cry for a more liberal admi- nistration. ‘he result will be soon known. By the last accounts we have received here, Goneral Cruz, the leader of tho insurgent army, was at Chillan with 3,000 mea, having had already some engagements with the government troops, before taking possession of the place. The ex- President, Bulnes, commands the army, whish is composed of about 2,000 veteran and a host of na- tional guards, which can do no good in a pitched battle. Both armies were in sight. A battalion, the casanpangue, with Colonel! Sotomayor, imutiaied, and took tothe side of the insurgents. Colonel Carrera was defeated by the government troops with little loss. On tho 28th, there occurred in Valparaiso a se- tious riot, which nearly endangered the portion of the foreign houses. ‘The mob, headed hy some of the liberal party, attacked the barracks oi No. 2, got possession of a vast quastity of arms, ammunition, and two pieces of artillery, and barricaded themselves in the square of the Monicipalidad. The Governor General Blanco acted bravely in the affair, and at once put himself at the head of Battalion No. 3, and charged the revolters The engagement lasted half an hour, and more than 80 were killed and wounded on both sides. At seven o’vlock they gavo way, and sur- rendered to General Blanco, who took the neces. sary measures to tranquilize the town. Agsoon as the fire commenced on shoro tho boats of bor Britannic Majesty’s ships Portland and Gorgon, the United states ship Raritan, and the French brig [:ntreprenant, were seen pulling for the shore with troops. A strong detushmont was formed at the Mole, and stayed there the whole night, to protect the foreign residents.
