The next toast was— The Boston Light Infantry, of which the city may well be proud.” This sentiment was responded to by Capt. Rogers, who then thankeil them for the generous hosp’ with which the Lynn Light ntry had r- tained them. We have not forgotten the visit of the Light Infantry to Lynn.

After a pleasant excursion among the islands, the boat reached her wharf at dark, and the companies pro- ceeded to the Meo 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.

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 Feeligute.

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 feel it. This is ‘@ peculiar case.

Having received gach 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., agenta for Trenholm & Co.” But the bond was not signed by Robert Cald- well, but by one of his pees and could not therefore be binding on him, as not within the rayon of one Anne to bind another by execu- ting such a sti; ion, unless it is ratified or ap- proved iff other partner.

Russel Sturges vs. the brig Nautiluc, her Tackle, $c.,and Cargo.—This suit is brought by the owner of the steamtuvg Achilles, to recover salvage for ing the brig up to the Ghee the lower bay, 19th of January, 1852. British brig Nau- tilus, on a voy: from St. Ann’s , Jamaica, to this port, came inside of Sandy Hook on the morning of the 18th of January, having on board a cargo of pi , logwood, old metal and rum, sleeea by the libellant to be worth about $30,000, and admitted by the respondents to be worth the sum of $13,847 42. had a pilot on board, and came to anchor inside of the Hook. The ice commenced to collect around her, and were made for a steam- boat to tow her Ke Two steamboats passed without regarding , and on the 19th 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 holly.aninsured, was coming up to the city, and Saicvled 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 tie 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 ef aloe = 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 pie UP, sometimes so a3 to stop the headway of the Achilles entirely, and to expose her to great danger. The hbellant claimed to re- cover oue fourth of the value of the ye 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 appeared that the brig, if she had not been saved that day, would have been either cut through by the ice, or driven on shore and lost; that no other besten in the ort but the Achilles could have rescued her; and hat steamboats are entitled to high compensation for services performed by them in saving vessels in distress. It was therefore decreed, that the libel- lant recover the sum of $600, as against the ship, a oy gum of $1,333, as against the cargo, with costs. f bri on Tre Danisu Sognp Touis.—Among the State pa- rs s00n 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 phi the Sound, which is Teally as much a “ high sea” in lawas tlie Atlantic Ocean, Whén Mr. Buchanan was Secretary of State, he offered some $200,000 to get rid of this tax hereafter. It seems to be understood, however, that the present administration having caused a thorough examination into Denmark’s legal right to levy such tolls, has concluded that our ships shall no longer pry, 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 upon than its predecessors. To prevent forcible e to collect them, it is also understood Ameri- can merchant vessels will hereafter be afforded the rotection of an American naval convoy throngh he Sound. Such, ft ia believed, is the substance of the important State paper to which we refer above. — Washington Sentinel, June 14 A Boston Broker Cuarcen wir Euorzzur- meENT.—In the police Decne gg sf Geo, L. Allen, formerly a stock broker State street, was ar- raigned on bees of embezzling funds entrusted is care for investment, by Lewis Barnard, of Worcester, The facts elicited in the primary ex- amination before this court are as follows:—Barnard remitted money to Allen, with directions to pur- chase Ogdensburg Railroad bonds. 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 Diedged 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.

The plaintiff, doubtless, was disap- at the delay, 90 much so as to abandon right t0 a Passage, and seek one by another route, but such disappointment furnishes no ground for recovery, without evidence of fraud or breach of contract on the part of the defendant. It is sought to apply to this case the rule that when & pera engages pean in a vessel, and no da} is named for the sailing, that unless the vessel sai! within a reasonable time the contract isvoii, (5 Car& Perry, 369.) Admitting such a rule to be ap- licable in its fullest extent to this case, still there no ground for recovery. The contract was for the third trip of the Isthmus. There was no delayshown in her sailing 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 trip? 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. But this was only ad- vice given by the defendant yong after the sale of the ticket, 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.

Hobbs, of Memphis, has addressed a letter to the Mayor of Nashville, Tenn., inwwhich he states that Wy the use of cistern water entirely and exclusively, the cholera will dis- appear and never return. he doctor says that! is known to him by ete and by an experience of twenty-four years, The editor of the Nashvilte Gazette says, that from his own observations in the year 1849, when the cholera was in its worst stages, at was admitted by those best acquainted with the disease, that those who used rain water where the disease was most prevelent, were free from it. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Trvrspar, June 16—6 P. M. It has been rather a blue day in the street among the holders of fancy stocks. The bears had things all their own way, and we should jhdge from the amount of eash purchases that the shorts availed themselves of the de- pression to take in s supply fer delivery on thelr 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 better on the temporary investment, than any other employment for capital we can now think of. In fact, a speculator could hardly go amiss togo 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 scllors option, but in Harlem, Reading, Cumberland, and Nica- ragua, they are rather shy, and act more cautious- ly.

Resolved, That this Board view the antiquated custom of measuring grain as practised in the elty of New York aan incorrect and illegal method of ascertaining the number of bushels, and that the practice ought to be abolished and an uniform system of selling and delivering by weight adopted. Resolved, That this Board ree} shippers here and elsewhere, that they instruct their consignees and agents in the city of New York, to sell and deliver grain by weight, according to the statute law of the State re, ting the number of pounds to the bushel, and furthermore that shippers be requested to ee eae instructions in this regard on their bills of 2. Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be sent tothe President of the Corn Exchange in New York, and also to the President af the Board of Trade at Albany and Oswego, requesting them to co-operate in establishing an uniform system of delivering all kinds of grain by weight. Adopted by the board. A committee, consisting of Rufus C. Palmer and Cyras Clark, was appointed to correspond with the Board of New York city in relation to the subject of lighterage, fully recommend to stocks last named were doubtless for delivery. At the first board IIllincis Central Bonds declined 34 per cent; New York Central Bonds, 1; Nicaragua Trans- 4, M; Cumberland Coal, 44; Harlem Railroad, 1; Erie Railroad, 24; Reading Railroad, 4; Hudson Railroad, 54; New Haven, 1. There wae a nale of Crystal Palace at 21 per cont, and the seller did well. He was shrewd enongh to take advantage of the little furore ereated by the “ Musical Congross” to realize, and the probability is that the price obtained never will be realized again. The new President of the Palace receives fifteen per cent on the gros receipts until they amount to $150,000, and af- ter that fifteen per cent on the net receipts. As this financial and commercial arrangement now stands, of every one thousand dollars received the President gets $150, and the company $850. The expenses all come out Othe company’sshare. The stockholders must feel that they stand but a poor chance of getting anything; on sach terms, and it is a matter of astonishment that they hold on to their stock as they do, We doubt, howover, if they could realize on any quantity five per cent. The board of directors must have considered the concern a very poor thing to have submitted to such terms as the President demanded. Mining stocks have found a pretty 1ow level. Some of them look ns though they were going entirely out of sight. We do not see any reason for this, as the principal companies are actively, and we believo profitably, engaged in opening their property, upon scien- tifle and legitimate principles. The good ones will come up again one of these days, and pay well on the investment. After the adjournment of the board, the following sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction, by A. H.

The directors of the Utica and Binghamton Railroad Company have decided in favor of the line callod the capal route, via Buckville and Hamilton, a length of 72 92100 miles. The estimated cost of this is $822,354 35, or an average per mile of $27,573 23, which includes the complete furnishing of the roads and stations. There were two other rontes designed, one via Waterville and Hamilton, 45 6-10 miles long, at an estimated cost of $970,258 52, averaging per mile $29,780 59; and the other via Waterville, leaving off Hamilton, 40 95-100 niles, eallod the swamp route, at an estimated cost of $888,098 72, averaging per mile $30,073 45.

When we consider the complaints made in regard to the scarcity of coin, we eannot help asking the ques- tion, where has this immense amount of money gone to? In the three countries, great compiaints were made during the year of the scarcity of coin. The Hoonomist answers the question in not only a satisfactory, but a pleasant manner. It says that this enormous amount ofcoimage, and the complaints still heard of an in- suffielent 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.” Stock Exchange. ee eT $1000 Frie 24 Mt Bda 100 =: 200 ahsNY CenRitb60 102 1000 Erie Bds of ’83., 90 eg Led ah 16 2500 Ul Cen RRBds.. 7534 800 Cley &Tol 60 905g 8000 NY Cen RR Bds. 8534 2 do.. + BORE 1000 85% . 2500 NY Cen Sub Bis $4. 100shaD&HudCCo b60 10854 160 Nie Trans Co 2 L BEGOND BOARD. £2000 rif Tat Stock... 62 200 shaCl&Tol RR BGO 9035 1000 FrieGastt B71 81-100 do. . 80 1000 Erie Incom*808, 9734 150 Erie RR. 3 O73 5000 Erie Ist Mtg Ba, 10§ 100 a. 0 O76 6 shy Cont Bk do, 230 67 5 Camb Cor! . 50 200 Nie Tra: 200 50 NY Cen RR. 50 do 6 do. 100 Reading RR..b60 7734 .15 Pan RR. 200 0......060 THI MINING BOARD. 250 she Manassas Cop 4 200 sheGardiner Goll ie THORSDAY, Jume 15—6 P.
