IN our impression of Saturday last will be found the report of a case heard before the LORD CHIEF BARON at Guildford—" SALTER v. the Atheneum Insurance Association." We have had occasion during the last few mouths to lay before our readers some erraordinary illuatrations of the mode in which some of these new Insurance Companies are got up and conducted ; bat the scandalous transactions brought to light on this trial have the advantage of laying bare, on the oath of one of the chief actors, the whole arcane of fraud and deception. It appears that in 1853 the former Directors of the Atheneum Lite Office thought it would be extremely convenient, as some other young companies have done, to attach a Fire Oftlos to the concern. Of course, as usual, the capi tal, assets, &c., were to be kept entirely distinct, and prudence andecononsy were promised in the prospectus, which contained matter of the orAnary character, the concoction of which has been brought to so re markable a pitch of perfection. A Mr. Salve, for merly a clerk in the Anchor, the founder of which may c'aim to be the inventor of the art of " getting up" i companies, "got se the Adaa. Fire, for which be received 3,0001. is paid up shares, which figured la the balance-sheet as law charges. Mr. H. SALTER, the plaintiff in the sodas, was ap pointed messy', with a salary rising from 6031. to 1,0001. per annum, aid sundry other pickings. There appear to have bee• five directors, who were also directors of the Atheneum "Life," of which Mr. Bonne, the "getter up" was secretary. Mr. SALTER bad bees manager, or travelling agent for the Equitable Fire Moe, and was describe' by &leant ants as "a young man who had bad great experience in consezios with inn ranee matters, sad who was ezappliagly clear eel these subjects." His exceeding elearame was very fully brought out in the course of Mr. /AIM'S cross erswisatic•, sad his overawe led him to state that W (medalist operatioss of the Atheemein Fire were by so motes usual, except in regret of their moderation. Mr. SALTER stated t►at " many of the Directors were wealthy nem" nevertheless, it appears that they had no mosey until he procured it for them Thies " wealthy NM " seem to have beets Salve, the getter spot the Company ; the Rev. Mr. Rerrear, who figured not king since in • trial rsepestieg same W•stmiester Bade; a Mr. CARRINGTON Jolla., mys. teriossly connected with certain bills, and who is net to be found ; • Mr. HOWARD, a alll2Oll, in a like predisaisat ; and • Mr. Henan, the soli citor to the company, who had been Walnut, and is sow in MN lunatic asylum. The proses, of raising the capital of the Company wee this : To Mr. Berra were allotted 1,000 shares, and to each of the Director, 2,000; but as nose of them appear to have been prepared to pay the deposit on them, the Com pany lent thus the mosey for the purpose, so that, including the shares given to Mr. Suwon, there weed be some 12,000 shares issued, and among the snits of the Company would appear the sues owing by the Directors on thine share• By and bye, how ever, real shareholders men with wins mosey —dropped is, and with thus premiums for fire policies. The Directors then availed themselves of the opportunity to increase, or rather vary, the meets of the Company, by becoming its debtors still further; and whenever any of them were in want of money they seas to have borrowed it of the Company without difficulty, sad the amount appeared in the books as lent to the " Athsemem Life." This operation, which had the great advantage of keeping, the emanate in most admirable order, furnishes are with a key to the desire which appears to have seised ones many of these young offices for grafting another branch of business on their life marina ; it affords remarkable facilitke for "nuking things pleasant" and rioting the shags' with the meets and 'UWE ties, so as to swell up totals to • respectable sin. Thus in 1853 there was • proposition that the " Fire* ease should advance 300/. to the " Life" once, which was dose by mesas of two cheques, for 2001. and 1001. respectively. The latter —sot being ceased, by desire of Mr. Sorrow, the g• etter-up"—disappeared, bat was daly paid never theless, and the notes were traced to within 20 yards •f the ones, bet there the trail was lost. Mr. Ba um, it was stated, is now Lllowisg kis vandal, and "getting up" another company somewhere, nowise discouraged by the fate of the Athemeara. Another "loan to the Attainment Life" was em ployed in taking up • bill to which Mr. COT/IL, cos of the directors, and Mr. H. SALTER, the manager, wen pafliaS; so that they seem to have acted on the whole with • most amiable consideration for each other's amemities, If not for the interests of their shareholders. In June, 1835, a meeting of the shareholders was palled, end • statement of amounts laid before them The flourishing condition and rapid progress of the Company wire drily set forth, and the necessity for a wide. spread notoriety, in order to establish it on a broad and solid basis, wee the excess for the rather large expenditure. A dividend of 6 per asst., which appears to be the customary rate when these are nothing but losses to divide, was deelared. A year later the concern is found following the teak of so may others of its earners, and brie* gathered under the wings of the Winding-up Act. We ought to state that the present Directors of the Company, who have in tarred the wrath of Mr. Berns for dismissing him as soon as they discovered the strange transactions is which be had participated, are merely the socerseere of those whom we most call the aosomplieseaf SALTER and Burrow, sad have dabtlass acted wisely is the coarse they have adopted. The jury at any rate coo sidered that they were perked) , *lifted is getting rid of • manager whose "el sea and expertise*" were or so very peculiar a character. We lay this ease before oar readers set so malt se sormant of its novelty as for the evidences It fur nish., of the absolute necessity for the adoption of arse more stringent inesseres for defesdeg the sehemee of these speculators in ems puke and their tools or accomplices. The 7 and 8 Viet is utterly aselesese a protection. Those recent Companies set the Registrar at &flames and we mold furnish • list of them, Iseloding the Mb.. arum Fire and the Trafalgar (now the Unity Gene rol), who have omitted to comply with the require men's of the Act with impunity, and the progress of whose affairs it is impoesible that any shareholder or polity-holder living at a distends can follow with even tolerable accuracy. But the Atheemem did lay • statement of aosseote before its shareholders, whisk was doubtless audited by some ea, sad on the strength of that statement a dividend was declared. Although the amount of capital *apposed to be held by the Matters was • pure &dm, and the y wen evid en tly I THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, igsn. in no position to assume any responsibility towards the public, other abarsholden who had money to lose were inveigled into the concern by those frasdulent representations, and on their shoulders would rest the practical resp3nsibility towards tbi holders of policies, representitg, according to Mr. SALIII3, 1100 millions of property. The public hie a right to look to the Legislature for some protection against ingeniously devised schemes such as the Atheneum, aid others which we have noticed. Founded in what is really a fraud, the promoters trust that the lie will, by time and good luck, booooso a truth. If they are fortunate, the dismpetabls inmrosnoement of the Company never oozes to light ; bat if any serious misfortune over. takes them, the iunooent and solvent portion of the shareholders suffer, the connectors of the scheme take wia3, like Mr. Smote, to "getup" something else, having held a pleasant and lucrative past in the meanwhile, with very extensive " borrowing powers" to boot, occasionally. The remedy is by no means impossible, and we have repeatedly urged those most interested in up holding the character of Insurance Companies—the Institute of Actuaries—to move In the matter. Make the publiestioa of the accounts of them Companies not only oompuleory but in a prescribed form, secure the means of an efficient audit, and of a true statement of smote and liabilities, by making directors, midi tore, and valuers liable to penalties for false state ments, and Ist there be some distinct understanding aa to them& of writing off preliminary expenses. We cannot quit the subject without expressing _ _ our regret that Mr. Berjeint Sinn, a patios= of education and high standing at the Bar, should have auctioned, as it were, the mode of "getting up" these omupsniee, by stating in open court, that although this leading to director., and this interchange of canner. wu nut jestitable, it was dons to strengthen the Company, and no one wu iojered by it. Amon loose sad desigerons oode of comenercial morality can hardly be sonesived, and we protest against such pro ceedings being looked nun in soy other light than ea gram hands, which ought, as theCmas Baum very properly observed, to have planed the parties to them cm a different *ideal the court. gte Court.

Per • ,as we do, in this off season, to give criti and biographical notion se the men etoinent members of the theatrical profession, we have scarcely commenced our teak ere death has erased from the list which we had jotted down the nameof one of the most celebrated women of the day. Mrs. Charles Mathews, well known all over Europe as Madame Vestris, expired on Friday eight, at 12 o'clock, at her residence, Grove Lodge. Fulham, after suffering, for many months, under an excruciating and incurable disease. Renowned during her youth for her beauty and esprit, and during the latter years of her life for her admirable taste and knowledge of everything appertaining to dramatic effect, few women have had their names brought so prominently before the world ; indeed, ea it is the practice of would be wit, to father their dull jokes and point loss inanities upon Sheridan or Curran in order that they may pass muster, so was it the habit of the &nears and diners-out of twenty years ago to attribute the most romastic anecdotes of boundless extravegeoce or bizarre behaviour to Madame Vestris In creating for her this unenviable notoriety jealousy had no small share. It is well known that in the eyes of the mean-spirited then is nothing so criminal as success, and we regret to my that in the theatrical profession the truth of this axiom is too frequently elucidated. Madame Vestris had not only a talent for dramatic representation—that is to say, for acting a character—but she possessed that much rarer quoit &stk.°, the power of harmonising dramatic effeo' with the realities of every-day life. Daring her management, end under her artistic eye, were for the first time produced comedies of mo dern life in which the dress and beha viour of the charasters and the adjuncts and accessories of the 110,1511 were such as the 'Mimics were rarely accustomed to see. Had a " super * to come on and deliver a mange, he was drilled to do it simply and naturally, and not to announce it in the blood-and thunder voice which these persons usually conceive to be inseparable from acting ; while the , speechless noblemen and pests at an evening party were, by her, reamed from the wild state of apparel in which they had hitherto indulged, and clothed ia ordinary evening costume. Among ill informed people, who, by the way, are always the most garrulous, it km been for a length of time the mates to speak of Madams Vowels es of an almost (shalom age; and to marvel that she had so loog retained strength and spirit enough to appear upon the step. It is almost needless to say that this assertion, like most others of the same kind, was unfounded. The daughter of a well-known en graver' named Bertelezzi, she was born in the year 1797, and from the first gave evidence of extraordinary abilities as • insioisu and a linguist. • At the age of sixteen she wee married to M. Armand Vestris, the principal dancer at and ballet-master of the them King's Theatre, in the Haymarket, at whose solicitation she entered upon the dramatic profession appearing first es Proserpina in the opera of 11 Batt; di Preesrpissa, at the theatre to which her husband was attached. Having, however, scarcely made the sensation which was expected, sh e did not remain in Landes, but accompanied km husband to Paris, where she played for some time in drama and tragedy in the French limper, of which she was a perfect mistreats. On her return to England in 1819, she accepted an engagement with Mr. Elliston, at Drury lane, and Mozart's opera of Don Giovanni being at that time at the height of its popelerity, she shortly afterwards established her fame in a burlesque or that manter-pleite called Giossousi is. London, in which she as the hero, and Harley as Leporello, created an extraordinary caseation. , From this time her emcees was complete, and she reigned the spoilt favourite of the - London pablie both at Drury Liao sad Covent Garden, playing what is technically termed "first light comedy,* each as Lydia Lengaish in The Rivals, Letitia Hardy in Th e Belles Stretagems, Miss Hardireatle in She Stoops to Cowper, &a. Characters of more serials interest she never attempted. In the year 1829 she became lessee of the Olympic Theatre, which she transformed into the most elegant " temple of the drama* in Lan dau. Assisted by an admirable company, sad having at her command the freshest and smartest des. nratW authors then on tows, her theatre sacs booms the most poplar in the metropolis. There were first modused those brilliant extramposse and revues or Messrs. Flambe and Charlie Dance upon which they have scarcely since improved, and upon which their fame is built. Oa the 7thDectember, 1836, Mr. Charles Mathews, who had twe brought up as an architect, , made his first appearanos ca the stage at the Olympic, in a fares called the " Old and Young Steger,* in which he was admirably sitted by Liston, at that time the proper the establis hme nt. In the year 1838 Madame Vestrie, whose husband had died in 1826, married Mr. Charles Mathews, and leaving the Olympic under the management of Mr. Plasche they immediately started foe America. With oar Trans atlantic neighbours, however, the favourites of the Olympic were a failure, and they returned to England in 1839, is the September of which year they entered upon the leeseeship of Covent Garden. Under their management were produced some of the chefi transom of modern dramatic authorship, ?mos, which may be arentimed London Ass ranee, Time Works Wenders, Old Heads end Young Hawk and some excellent pantomimes, The Castle of Otranto, the Great Bed of Were, Re., and some of Mr. Planchb's beat burlesques. Among the company were Messes. Ferree Strickland, C. Mathews, Harley, Healey, Anderson, Bartley, Bw., and Mesdames Vestris, Orger, Hamby, &e. The speoulatios, how ever, did not answer, and the lessees gave up manage meet at the end of their third season, in April,lB42. After this they accepted a short temporary engage ment at Drury-lane with Mr. Maesrady, and a more lengthened one with Mr. Webster, at the Haymarket. In 1848 Mr. and Mrs. Mathews joined Mr. Maddox's company at the refuels% and in the autumn of 1847 they opined the English Opire House, in Wellig ton-street, under the name of the Lyceum. Here the old Olympic Revels were renewed, several of the farmer actors and authors attached to the =up meet flocking to the newly-raised standard. Madame Vestris played two or three important pets, mob se the Wonderful Woman and the Pride of the Market, and made a great hit in more pathetic characters, es, for instance, in Mr. Sliogsby Lawrence's Chein of Events, end in the translation of Madame de Direr din's play, La Joie fail Peer, tinder the name of themAine through Use Mods. But her strength new began to fail her, and she prindpally trootleed hesself to the direction of the stage, in which she sheered that taste and talent Ice whieb we have be fen emeibed her as being so remarkable. For the eseesien of her husband's benefit, on Wednesday, Jai" 28, 1864, she made her kit 'pinnace ' in Stesshisse through the Ponds, and does that she has beat confined always to the hoses, sad principally to her room. She is sow no more ; bat her name will long be recollected in English theatrical society es that of me of the cleverest and most far-awing women of her time. Of her faults there will be too many to speak; be it oar task to chronicle her talent, bet bberality, and her perseveres.' in her profession.

Approaching your capital as Idois an atti tude justified by the state of resistance of the city, it is my duty to refute the insidious construction which the enemies of public order, with a view to mis direct your patriotic sentiments, have pat upon the constitutional exercise of the prerogatives of the crown. You have been falsely told, that the Govern ment intended to put down liberty when it was only firm to repress adarohy and to ewers all individual rights and interests. This energy you will find in me until the principle of authority shall be respected, and the empire of law rc established. "You know me, Arragonese. You know under what flag I have always fought. In the name of her Majesty, and of her government, I oome to offer peace to your heroic and immortal city.

I frankly admit the honourable claims which the dignity of your character, as shown os many occasions, has to the consideration of the country i and my greatest pleasure will be to enter your city with words of peace and concord. But I am resolved, above all things, not to allow the pretensions of a few ambitions persons to overbear the representative of her Majesty's government. In the capital of the monarchy, power has shown itself tolerant. Its ge nerous conduct has thrown a veil of oblivion over the scones of blood and mourning occasioned by the straggle.

After the ballet the company promenaded round the beautiful grounds embellished byes many "extra lamps" ea ever rejoiced the heart of Mr. Simpson, listetted to tit* band el the Guides, who, drama its their estalet uniforms, ooelpied the meads, visited tbs very stossiog.ltsliss raerlaaettea sad the theatre where a lady performs coterie' operations, played at various fens dadresse, or broke 'a few images in the shooting gallery. Some few, very few, took sup per. and many, very many, drank beer. Thus the owl night hours permed away pleasantly enough, and it was fully three in the morning before the gardens were evacuated. Special trains ran as late as half past three from the Porte Dauphine station of the Chetnin de fer de Cein!ure, by which those who were lucky enough to hit the exact moment of starting ' were wafted to Paris in six or seven minutes, but a large proportion of the company returned home in their own carriages—or at least in carriages which they had made their own for the nonce by hiring them at the night price outside the barriers of 3'r. 50c. per hour. The admission to this fete was 201 r., but I believe the managers now perceive that this high charge was a mistake, and will lower it considerably on similar future occasions. The way to make night fetes at the Pie Catalan pay would be to fix a very mode rate rate of admission, and to have omnibuses run nieg every ten minutes from the gardens to the railway. But the Emperor hat put his veto upon omnibuses in the Bois de Boulogne. The idea which presided at the crea tion of the Pre Catelan was that it would be a pro- menade for that class of society which habitually takes carriage airings in the Bois de Boulogne during the summer months. This idea has been to a great extent realised. Bat I doubt whether that class alone will suffice to pay the very great expenses of the establishment. One feature which distinguishes the Pie Catalan from all o: her places of night amuse ment in Paris and the environs is that no notorious Traviata is to be seen there. The Newsier de Bayonne, of Aug. 8, says: Political nota►iU3es, who have played a great part in recent events at Madrid, are arriving at Bayonne every day.

The tribunal of correctional police gave judgment to-day in the libel case which has been a good deal talked about, of M. Jules Lecomte, the feteillefosiate of the listleposidanee Bulge. It appears from the judg ment that the accused parties, the editors of the Penelope, Gazette des Theatres, Aigle, and Tinta marre, had sta.ed of M. Lecomte that he had beaten his father, robbed his employers, and committed for gery, and had called him e fripon, an aiyrefie, and a gueusart. For these libels M. Lecomte claimed against the four defendants damages to the respective amounts of 20,0001., 10,0001., and 6,0001. The court has found them guilty of the libels charged. , and having before it sufficient evidence to estimate the amount of damage done to th... plaintiff, it has assessed the damages at SOL instead of 20,0001., 601. instead of 10,0001., and 251. instead of 6,000 f. There was a cross cause, in which M. Lecomte was accused of having called his opponents clique, senielle, aboyeurs, meth), valets, and of having imputed to them that they ate macaroni in the kitchen. Of all this he was found guilty, and he was therefore sentenced to pay • fine of 100 f. The Marquis of Clanricarde has arrived at the Hotel de Louvre, en route for Hamburg.

Some Portuguese trcopa left Lisbon on the 20:h June for Fasciae!. There is every reason to believe that cho lera prevailed at Belem before the troops left, yet notwithstanding the ridiculous strictness of the Portuguese authorities about quarantine, these sol diers were allowed to proceed to Madeira. At set► cholera broke out amougat the troop', end when they landed at FitGebel a fair was being held, the troops mixed with the inhabitaute, and cholera broke out amongst the latter. When the Avon lett Madeira on the 3rd August there had been 3,000 cases of cho• ler* and 1,500 deaths amongst the population of Funchal, a bids numbered only 23,000. There were so medical men, nor any medicines in the island, and the people were dying tor watt of them. The panic which th;s calamity caused at Funchal wee terrible; all business was suspended, the shops were closed, and every family isolated itself. The dead lay un buried in the cemetery. and tires were kindled there to mitigate the evil effects arising from the wittefao tion of dead ladies. The governmeut at length got 12 men to diggravee, and dot them literally dog their owe s for they died almost immediately, and were buried in the graves they had m►de for otters. The cholera I had ben ragtag fearfully at Funchal for fire days before the Avon left. Duly one Englishman had died of it, and he was an hotel.kreper. Seventy 01 the Er g!ieh eeceped from Madeira in the Avon, which were al: that picket could accommodate. Every English person would have got on board the Avon it there bad been room.
