The evening was paseed in a very pleasant and at a seasonable hour the Light Guard were to their quarters, where, at midaight, they were naded by one of the Boston bands. n Tuesday the Light Guard and the Boston Light In- 'y visited Nahant under escort of the Lynn Light fantry. This was another fine day, and everything off pleasantly. Nahant is a rocky promontory g out from the sea, amd situated fourteen miles heast of Boston. There is an excellent opportunity to enjoy all the seaside luxuries, and nothing was ritted on the occasion of the Light Guard’s visit. On Wednesday morning the Light Guard and Light In- made another exearsion in the bay, and dined at celebrated city of Hull. This important place is uated on the shore of Boston Bay, about twelvo miles itheast of Boston.

NEW YORK LIGHT GUARD AT LYNN AND NAHANT. [From the Boston Bee, June, 14 .j Yesterday morning the Boston Light Infantry, apt. Charles 0. Rogers, and their guests, the New York Light Guard, who for a few days past have been honoring: our city with their presence, em- barked on board the cars for Lynn, where they ar- rived about ten o’clock. They were greeted at the by thousands who early assembled to catch a aaah of this gallant corps. They were escorted the depot by the Lynn Light Infantry, whose guests they were; and after marching and counter marching through the streets, they repaired to Ex- ebange Hall, where they partook of a collation. Aiter half an hour or 80 past ten o'clock y been spent in thus re- ezuiting the inner man, they again took up the line | oh; ad i y_the way of ‘the Com- | ef march, and proceeded mon to the mansion of Hon. D. C. Baker, who had extended an invitation to them. They then pro- ceeded tothe boat awaiting them. Thousands of people had flocked to the adjacent wharves to “see them off,” and every vessel that we could see was literally black with spectators. The ‘‘tolling bell” called ‘forth cheer upon cheer from the assembled muititade, which were promptly responded to by doth companies and a “tiger: the departure of the Nelly Baker, rounded to and gave three hearty cheers forthe ‘Tigers.’ Alto- gether, Lynn presented the scene of and seldom is it that a battalion of 150 men, such as these were, honored the city of Lynn with their presence.

Th xt toast was—'' The Boston Light Infantry, of which the city may well be proud.” This sentiment was responded to by Capt. Rogers, who then thanketl them for the generous hospitality with which the Lynn Light Infantry had enter. tained them. We have not forgotten the visit of the Light Infantry to Lyan. He closed with the following sentiment— The Lynn Light Infantry—Celobrated for the excellence of its Shocmakers, and for the generous hospitality of its Poker, Three cheers were then given for the Hon. Daniel ©. Baker. Major Gen. Edmands waa also most enthusiastically cheered. Major Reed of the first division responded ani toasted Capt. Munroe, who was alternately cheered. ‘The remainder of the time was engaged in speech making, after which the company brought its pro- ecedings to a close—it now being near haif-past four o'clock. . . The companies proceeded to the boat awaiting them, it now being nearly seven o'clock. After a pleasant excursion among the isiands, the boat reached her wharf at dark, and the companies pro- ceeded to the Min ie House. Thus the day was spent in a manner such as will never be forgotten by the New York Light Guard. ‘The Lynn Light Infantry return home to-day. The Guard will leave our city for New ork this afternoon, making a tarry in Providence, where they will receive the attentions of the Infantry of that city.

Homer Bostwick—Whose energy has raised him in the estimation of his fellow-citizens to the cle of fame, w character hae secured him the Figh ition he holds in the field of the 11th Regiment. Col. Bostwick, with much emotion, rose and re- sponded at some length. He was listened to with great attention, and concluded with the sentiment, “May prosperity and happiness follow through life aki n Ferris, his beautiful bride, and the City, uard.’ 10. William E. Burton, the scholar, the actor, and the man.—To know him is to appreciate him. May his ability always equal his hospitality. To this Mr. Burton replied ia a very humorous manner, “setting the table in a roar.” He hoped the guard would continue to visit Glen Gove every year. Mr. Wm. H. Drapgr then proposed Boston Light infantry, bie dee Rogers, and the New England Guard, Captain Henshaw—Choice spirits of Massachussetts, famed for their military services and generous hospitality, admantine like tha face of their State, they can always be depended upon, we fraternise with them, we hail them as our friends. This was received with thundere of applause, Mr. Drarzk then Ustne a at length to discuss his toast, speaking of the friendly intercourse he- tween these companies and the City Guard which he hoped would long continue. Mr. Draper was fre- quently interrupted by the plaudits of the company, juring his eloquent discourse. Ligut.

Castle, which was drank with three times thre A letter was then read from Mr. E. L. Hedden, Orderly Sergeant of the City Guard, stating his in- ability to be present on account of sickness, and closing with the sentiment— Our own Beloved Corpa—May the glorious sun of pros- perity and the memory of proud days in our annals be ever unciouded in the vista of futurity; and may the retlection be always preeent to defy competition. This sentiment was received in a manner in keep- ing with those which had preceded it. After various other toasts the Guard rose from the table at 7 o’clock in the evening, to prepare to return home at 8. A thander storm coming up at this time, the captain of the George Law deemed it im- litic to venture upon the Sound and through leligate.

Nobody need contribute more than ten cents, and everybody can afford that amount. Will editors second our move? If this be done at all our post offices, Georgia can raise a pretty little sum, and nobody ‘eel it. This is a peculiar case. Batchelder, the unforta- | nate deceased, was an Irishman, and fell i | of the laws of his chosen and adopted country. ie was in a hotbed of abolitionism, gone with the crowd and been in aioe Dirks ll @ martyr he people are LS ice, on which are to the integrity of the laws.

It does not, however, follow, that the party render- ing such services, at the request of one who is not an owner, would have alien. If the party in possession of the ship, and having control of her for the voyage, is prohibited by the owner from making such a lien, t y performing the services knew of such rohibition at the time of his agreement to per- form them, he cannot have a lien as inst the owner. The contract may be a good itime oon- ct against the party contracting, but would not gi non the ship.

The libellant contracted with John C. to perform these services after the execution of the agreement of September 3d, and Robert Caldwell, the it of the claimants, deposes that about that time he told the libellant that whatever was done al responsibilit hee anos the create persons iy, and not on it of the chip or her owners. Having received such notice, he can have no lien for his services. His right to such lien has been waived. ‘The libellant claims that Caldwell is not 2 compe- tent witness, because the stipulation for value is signed by ‘‘Caldwell & Co., agents for Trenholm & Co.” But the bond was not signed by Robert Cald- well, but by one of his partners, and ld not therefore be binding on him, as not within the authority of one no to bind another by execu- ting such a stipulation, unless it is ratified or ap- roved by the other partner. Caldwell, not being shown to have done so, is not bound by the stipula- tion, and therefore not interested inthe event of the suit. If Erler, or his wife, after the execution of the contract of September 3d, are_to be consider- ed as owners of the ip, she was then a domestic vessel, and against such no lien is given by admi- ralty law, for materials and supplies. Such services as those rendered by the libellant could not ara be entitled to higher consideration. Libel dismissed with costs. Russel Sturges vs. the brig Nautiluc, her Tackle, &c., and Cargo.—This suit is brought by the owner of the steamtrg Achilles, to recover salvage for bringing the brig up to the city from the lower bay, on 19th of January, 1852. The British brig Nau- tilus, on a voyage from St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, to this q side of Sandy Hook on the morning of the 18th oe veneys having on board a cargo of pimento, logwood, old metal and rum, alle; by the libellant to be worth about $30,000, and itted Boe respondents to be worth the sure of $13,547 42. She had a pilot on board, and came to anchor inside of the Hook. The ice commenced to collect around her, and signals were made for a steam- boat to tow her up. ‘Two steamboats passed without regarding her, and on the lith a sig- nal of distress was hoisted. About three P. of the 19th the Achilles steamtug, said by the libellant to be worth the sum of $45,000, and ‘to be wholly.aninsured, was coming up to the city, and descried the brig some two or three miles from the channel, towards the Jersey shore. The Achilles went to.her and brought her up to the city, arriving there about six o'clock in the evening. ‘In regard to the danger of the brig, and the dificulty and danger which the Achilles met in towing her up, the stories of the libellant and respondents differed exceedingly—the respondents claiming that the brig was in no danger, and that the ice was of small thickness, and afforded little or no hindrance to the Achilles. The libellant alleged that the brig was drifting towards the Jersey shore, and in great danger of being cut through by the ice, and that the crew had been out of oe upwards of forty-eight hours, and wese making preparations to leave the vessel. By the testimony of the master of the Acail- les, the ice appeared to be very dangerous, being in large cakes, and piled up sometimes so as to stop the headway of the Achilles entirely, and to expose her to great danger. The libellant claimed to re- cover oue fourth of the value of the ship and cargo, as a proper salvage eompensation. Held by the court, that this was a salvage service of very great merit; that,on the evidence, it eppeared that the brig, if she had not been saved that day, would have been cither cut through by the ice, or driven on shore and lost; that no other steamtng in the port but the Achilles could have rescued her; and that steamboats are entitled to high compensation for services performed by them in saving vessels in distress. it waa therefore decreed, that the libel- lant recover the sum of $600, as against the ship, and the sum of $1,333, a8 against the cargo, with costs. Tne Dantsn Sognp ToLis.— Among the State pa- pers soon to eee the light, is the reply of Secretary larcy to the resolution of inquiry introduced by Mr. Walker, of New York, into the House some time ago, which was yesterday duly transmitted to the Speaker. Treating as it does of a subject of great importance to those engaged in commerce with Northern Europe, it is destined to command great attention, more especially as it is already underetood in diplomatic circles here that it clearly announces the purpose of refusing to permit American com- merce hereafter to be taxed to any suchend. From time immemorial, the governments of Europe have permitted their merchant ships to be taxed for the privilege of passing through the Sound, which is really as mucn a“ high sea” in lawas the Atlantic Ocean. Whén Mr. Buchanan was Secretary of State, he offered some $200,000 to get rid of this tax hereafter. Itseems to be understood, however, that the present administration having cansed a thoreugh examination into Denmark’s legal right to levy such tolls, has concluded that our ships ahall no longer pay them, as they are based upon no sound principles of right or law. On sending Mr. Bedinger out, this admiMstration is said to have taken up the subject with great earnestness, being better informed He it than its predecessors. To prevent forcible efforts to collect them, it is also understood Ameri- can merchant vessels will hereafter be afforded the woes of an American nayal convoy throngh the Sound. Soch, it ia believed, is the substance of the important State — Washington Seni er to which we refer above. June Lh A Boston Broker Cuarcep wirn Euurzzur- ment.—In the police ceurt, yesterday, Geo. L. Allen, formerly a stock broker in State street, was ar- raigned on a ch a of embezzling funds entrusted to his care for investment, by Lewis Barnard, of Worcester. The facts elicited in the primary ex- amination before this court are as follows:—Barnard < 3 [ SEskSsessys Es Pr ae 12 known (as appears fact), that steamer’s berths on were engaged, se that no more could be sol in the press of tid thet the Tt is sought to apply to this pare the she Le & person eengens assage ina vessel,and no is named for the aloe, that unless the vessel sail within a reasonable time the contract isvoii. (5 Car-& Perry, 369.) Admitting such a rule to be ap- plcatie, in its follest extent to this case, still there no ground for recovery. The contract was for the third trip of the Isthmus. There was no delay shown in her caine on the first trip,and none is pretend- ed to have taken place between the second and third trips. What would be areasonable time for sailing on ‘the third Sp Certainly no period before the second trip was finished. A reasonable time for the third trip must be as soon after the second trip as was ne- cessary for putting the vessel in condition for the Voyage. As there was no delay in port, there was no ground for recovery on account of the day of sailing being unreasonably postponed. I have not referred to the conversation proven to have taken place in New York the day the steamer sailed, in regard to the doubts entertained by the plaintiff whether the steamers would connect and the advice given by the defendants to the plaintiff not to exchange his ticket as he might be too late, asthe steamer was a fast vessel. Bat this was only ad- vice given by the defendant ae after the sale of icket, and not calculated to deceive or lead to any contract. Giving erroneous advice or express- ing an erroneous opinion which does not enter into or form any inducement to the contract, cannot be available for the purpose of defeating the contract orsustaining an action for false representations in relation thereto. The verdist must be set aside and a dismissal of the complaint ordered. Court of General Sessions. Before His Honor Recorder Tillou. SENTENCES.

Hobbs, of Memphis, has addressed a letter to the Mayor of Nashville, Tenn., in.which he states that by the use of cistern water entirely and exclusively, the cholera will dis- appear and never return. ie doctor says that¢his is known to him by analysis, and by an experience of twenty-four years, The ed! izette says, that from his ow year 1549, when the cholera was in its worst stages, at was admitted by those best acquainted with the disease, that those who ased rain water where the disease was most prevelent, were free from it. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Trunspar, June 16—6 P. M. It has been rathor a blue day in the street among the holders of fancy stocks. The bears had things all their own way, and we should judge from the amount of cash purchases that the shorts availed themselves of the de- pression to take in a supply fer delivery on their con- tracts. It was a hard market throughout to-day for holders, but as many of them will come in for better averages, the result may be much more favorable for them than at present appears, A judicious selection of fancies at current rates will pay Vetter on the temporary investment, than any other employment for capital we can now think of. In fact, a speculator could hardly go ainise to go it blind straight through the list. The bears do not seem to hesitate to put out contracts in Erie and Hudson River Railroad, either buyers or sollors option, but in Harlem, Reading, Cumberland, and Nica- ragua, they are rather shy, and act more cautiot ly. Nearly all the cash purchases to-day of the stocks last named were doubtless for delivery. At $580,000 00 Baltimore and Ohio Railroad com- of May, 1854, were as follows:— BALTIMORE amp Om0 RAILROAD.

Resolved, That this Board view the antiquated custom of measuring grain as practised in the clty of Now York a3 an incorrect and illegal method of ascertaining the number of bushels, and that the practice ought to be abolished and an nniform system of selling and delivering by weight adopted. Resolved, That this Board respectfully recommend to shippers here and elsewiere, that they instruct their consigness and agents in the city of New York, to sell and deliver grain by weight, according to the statute law of the State regufiting tho number of pounds to the bushel, and furthermore that shippera be requested to note their instructions in this regard on their Dilla of ding Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be sent to the President of the Corn Exchange in Now York, and also to the Prosident af the Board of ‘Trade at Albany and Oswego, requosting them to co-operate in establishing an uniform system of delivering all kinda of grain by weight.

There wae a sale of Crystal Palace at 21 per cent, and the seller did well. He was shrewd enongh to take advantage of the little furore ercated by the ‘ Musical Congross’” to realize, and the probability ix that the price obtained never will be realized again. The new President of the Palace receives fifteen per cent on the gross receipts until they amount to $150,000, and af- ter that fifween per cent on the not receipts. As this financial and commercial arrangement now stands, of @very one thousand dollars received the President geta $150, and the company $850. The expenses all come out ©" the company’sshare. The stockholders must feel that they stand but a poor chance of getting anything on such terms, and it is @ matter of astonishment that they hold on tothelr stock as they do. We doubt, howorer, if they could realize on any quantity five per cent. The | board of directors must have considered the concern a very poor thing to bave submitted to such terms as the President demanded. Mining stocks have found a pretty Tow level. Some of them look as though they were going eotirely out of sight. We do not see any reason for this, as the principal companies are actively, and we believe profitably, engaged in opening their property, upon soivn- tifie and legitimate principles.

Allen pur- chased what are called second bonds of the Ogdens- burg, and then informed Barnard that they were not so saleable as some other stocks, and, at the same time, advised Barnard to sell what he had purchased. This was objected to by Mr. B., but the bonds were left in trust with Allen, who, bein in debt to Mr. Willis, the broker, took and pled; ed them on his own account. After this transaction, Mr. Barnard was unable to obtain his bonds, or their equivalent in money, of Mr. Allen, and he has, therefore, instituted a charge of embezzlement | against Allen.’ On hearing the evidence, of which | the above is but an abstract, the Judge ordered | Allen to recognize in $4,000 for his appearance at the municipal court, there to answer to the charge of t-—Boston Herald, June 14.

When we consider the complaints made in regard to the scarcity of coin, we cannot help auking the ques- tion, where has this immenso amount of money gone to? In the three countries, great compiainte were made during the year of the scarcity of coin. The Koonemist answers the question in not only a satisfactory, but a pleasant manner. It says that this enormous amount ofcoinage, and the complaints still heard of an in- sufficient currency to conduct the domestic transactions + of these great countries, ‘ points to an increase of trade | and activity in the productive industry, without any” parallel in the history of the world.” or, in American mo- ‘.
