Notwtthatanding that several new Ilarine Insurance Com MIN have bees estaidished within the last few years, It is generally recognised that the means of effecting marine Maar. taut are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion of trade, imams being now driven to effect their insurances In remote towns In the provinces.

The actual price of shares In the existing Marius insurance Companies demonstrates clearly that the Wainer ts highly re. immerative. 01 rite sew °napkin •s nne only has been established In Liver ma, and It bee already misused a very large and lucrative bust.

Under these circumstances the British and Foreign Marine immure Company has been established.

This Is particularly the case In the trade between England and America. and It Is proposed that this Corporation shall commence Its operations by the estab lishment of an agency in New York. The profitable nature of Exchange business Is well known, especially that with the American States, and although the profit Is atpreseat greater than can be calculated upon in ordinary years, there Is generally a much larger margin than is usually found remunerative by bankers. The purchase and sale on commis sion of securities in New York and London, the dealings In which amount annually to many millions sterling, and the re. mlttanceis of interest and dividend; will afford other sources of /W°l l l ' .. — The practice now become very preessneers' of attaching hills of lading to bids of exchange as collateral security, readers en change operations more than usually ash, whilst the shipment of gold involves scarcely any risk whatever, The shipments of predates and specie trews New York alone for the past year have amounted to nearly forty millions sterling, and the average of several years has not been much Irk There Is thus a very extended field for the operations of the corpo ration. and the facilities which ft wdl afford, both In this °wintry and America, mast tend to promote, and still further to extend, the commercial and monetary transactions between the two countries. — The same remarks are applicable to other places in which the establishment of agencies is contemplated. A large business is also anticipated betwixt America and the ports la India and (Alm, which will be carried out in coope ration with the Oriental Bank Corporation. The anceess of Joint Stock Banks dealing In Exchange is evi denced by the present quotations of the shares of the nudes , menUoned Companies and it Is somewhat remarkable that the Joint Stock principle ham sot yet been adopted In the American trade, though presenting a wider field for Its proillsl99 operation than, any other part of the world.

Its origin is very remote, and its cause uncer tain, sod it is a thigular instance of the firm hold a custom takes of the elections of the mind, several unavailing attempts having been made to substitute the usu.! new year festivities on the Ist. The chairman, Mr. Lawson ' after the urinal loyal toes* gave the toast of the evening, "Dunfermline and it. Associations." H. spoke of the affections of home, the memories of school days, the friend ship of youth, giving quotations from Motherwell, 't Delta," &a It was somewhat illustrative of the Scotch character for travel that two townsmen were present from the extreme ends of tee werld—the Hon. Alexander Hay, of Adelaide, and Theethe Canal, Esq., her Majesty's consul at Nary., in Kumla, who both exp ressed themselves much gratified in having the opportunity of being present ; Mr. May testifying to the warmth of affection with which the good old time was remembered in the new world. After a few appropi ate speeches—in which the notabilitivw were not forgotten, especially their townsman, the Earl of Elgin—and some excellent Scotch songs, the evening was wound up with "Auld Lang Syne."

SCHOLEFIELD AT BIRMINGHAIL --•-- BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY. Thia evening, the members for Birmingham were both present at the annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, and made political speeches. The Vice-Purr- DENT (Mr. George Dixon) presided. After the usual loyal toasts had been proposed, the chairman gave the health of the " Borough Members," which wee drunk amidst loud applause. Mr. SCBOLEPIISLD, in reply, said that it was now twenty years since the restrictions which formerly existed on trade bad been removed, and although it would seem at first sight that the removal of all restriction would 'render it mummery for the government to exercise any supervision over trade, bat leave it to its natural development, in point of fact the supervision of the government bad become more than ever necessary, both u regarded foreign treaties sad the operations of commerce at home. With that view the House of Commons bad last Dillike devoted its attention to the amendment of the Bank rupee, Law ; and although it was generally considered that the bill which had been passed would require some alters tion, there was little doubt that it would eventually tend greatly to improve the law. There was Dolling in which Chambers of Commerce mold be more usefully occupied than in giving their attention to questions tenting to foreign tariffs. There was another question epos which he must say one word, although he was afraid be' ' should have the misfortune to differ from his honourable colleague, and therefore he spoke with great misgiving. Questions had arisen as to the rights of communal ships when one country was at war with another, and inasmuch as that question must inevitably come before parliament for decision, it would be well that the Chambers of Coin- memo throughout the country should direct their attention to it. The declaration of the Congress of Paris in 1856 made &considerable modification in regard to the rights of neutrals, and altered international law to the extent that neutral flags should cover enemies' goods, and that neutral goods not contraband of war should not be subject to capture in enemies' ships. A great change was effected in an irregular, not • to say an unconstitutional manner, and although the making of that change might be one of the prerogatives of the crown, he could not but regret that the matter had Dot been brought before parliament at the time, and that the people of this country had not an opportunity of ex. pressing their views upon a question of such national ice penance. He regretted as much as soy one the exist. once of a state of war, bat if they made war a mere this( of bloodshed and carnage alone, and exempted all vessels engaged in commerce from its operations, they would certainly withdraw one of the strongest motive s that now existed for putting a speedy termination to it. It had been said that property on land was never confiscated, and why, then, should property on sea be? But he denied the truth of that assertion, sod pointed to what had taken place in America in reference to the pro clamation for the emancipation of slaves, which, he said, was the most gigantic confiscation ol property on record ; he could not but think that by allowing the commerce of an enemy to go on nourishing, they were not doing all they could to injure the Queen's enemies, and through that means to bring about • peace. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bemire in • lengthened address on the general coon . mercial politics of the day, observed that the question of international law did not pram very much at the present moment. International law was not very clearly defined, and • year or two ago be was very much blamed for saying that it was really no law at all, but merely • collection of opinions, sometimes very contradictory and very difficult t o be understood. He would sot discus' whether the treaty of Paris was constitutional or not, but the fact was that the ambassadors of some of the principal powers of Europe agreed to certain alterations in regard to some points of in ternational law, and having dons so they asked the swot of all civilised Christian aatioas—they obtained the assent of every one except that of the United States govern , meat, which country proposed to go i further than was proposed by the Paris congress, and did not like to assent to their propositions) in the shape in which t►ey were put. lie understood from j the tone of his hon. friend's speech, than there would be some attempt in parliament to undo what had been done at the congress of Paris ; but he doubted very much whether any such attempt would succeed, because what was dove by the English ambassador on that occasion was done, not so much as representing the views of the English government sod nation, as because it was the only mode of extricating us out of • great difficulty. When the war was first commenced in Russia, a war which most people uow wished had never been commenced, the Queen issued • proclamation to the effect that • portion of the right formerly exercised by this country should be aban &sod, and that the property of Russians, if carried on board neutral vessels, should be safe. The reason why the English government came to that conclusion was this— when the Russian war began England was not iu the posi tion she was in fifty years ago, at the close of the last wan when, to use an insolent phrase, she was mistress of the sees. Bat there was • nation on the other side of the Atlantic who bad a mercantile marine as peat as ours, and a spirit as arrogantly disposed ; and it was felt by ths governments of England and France that if the old policy of capturing; goods were continued and put in practice with respect to the vessels of the United States, six months would not elapse before we should have to fight. not Remission*, but the United States as well ; but for that reason only the government agreed to the pro clamation, and it was mule the law of Europe for all future time. He did Lot believe that the House of Commons would retrograde in this matter. Hardly anything could be more absurd than the point at which the emigress officers stopped, and if anyone supposed that he was giving • wrong com plexion to this matter let him turu to the debate on Mr. Horefall's winos, aid be would see that be explained the cause of the change instituted by the congress of Paris in the same way that he did now ; and so both Lord Palmer ston on the one side, and Mr. Disraeli on the other, said that it was the true explanation. What was it they did? He (Mr. Bright) admitted the absurdity of it, but they said that when nations like France and England were at war, instead of as formerly the English taking the goods of the French under any circumstances, that the mongrels of Paris mime to the conclusion, which was ludicrous enough, that the merchants of Marseilles and Bordeaux, and of Havre, might trade with us, and as long as they liked, but they must send their goods by another route, audio neutral bottoms. He quite speed that that was not a very sea sensible point to stop at ; but he disagreed with his honour able friend in saying that they must go back, for, on the contrary, he thought they must go forward, sod that, in his opinion, was the only course they could adopt They had got still the United States with its greet mercan tile marine, and whatever was the result of the present strife, they might rely upon it that the Coned States would continue to be of the very first rank of maritime powers ; and therefore the sum reason that existed for making • change in international law existed now, and therefore it would be • far more liberal course of policy to look forward and see if greater advsntage could not be gained, rather than go backward and allow bellies rent powers the right of senior( goods in neutral vessels. There was a somewhat kindred question which had been discussed at great length before the Chamber of Commerce of Man chester, by his friend Mr. Cobden, via, the question of blockade. That likewise was • question which did not press no long as nations were at peace ; and the reason why public attention was called to it now was es account of the blockade of the Southern porta of the United States, and the consequent interruption to commerce ; but he thought it was oery undesirable, whatever might be their old tnulitionsgto decide absolutely opal the somewhat low question without an earnest and careful examination. His boo. friend's argument was that blockading WAS • desorip. tins of war him houounthle than that of caunosiediag, and t hat we wen bound to na►e war so b►rrsssiog to those engaged in it that they should entreat their government to put ea end to it ; while, on the other hand, Lord Pannonian said that no country which puts au end to war, sued for poses as the result of any easharrasuneot to its commerce. and that it was may by the destruction of its ship of war, or its armies, that they could bring a nation to sue for peace, and he believed he was right. The misfortune was that whoa war ensued it was the interest of [TWOPENCE many that that war should be prolonged. What would be the result at this moment in Liverpool if news came that thin wan an armistice between the contending parties in America!—Ruin to many who now consider themselves wealthy. It did not follow at all that because was somewhat disturbed oommeroe that the commercial element was at once eti affected that people asked for a oration of the war ; bat if they asked the great body of the people sande, weekly wages—say from lOs. to 30s. per week—they would find that they were the people whom war now affected, and therefore who most earnestly desired its mew Con. Every man must now see that the blockade was vir tually at an end. England could not blockade Ramis during the Russian war, for the simple reason that goods came through Preemie, neither could they blockade Prussia, or Spain, or Austria, or Italy, because unless they amid blockade them all, blockading one was of no use whatever, He believed it was for the interest of ell nation, but especially of this nation, that we should endeavour to make war more humane and consistent with the moral code and put an end to everything like commercial blockade. That was the proposition of the United hates, sad be only regretted that it had not bees acceded to. He maistained that if war were made leas savage, if passim., were less roused, if pesos were mad* more poesible—and be thought it would be by these changes men would begin to look, whenever any little difficulty arose, to some ether mode of nettling disputes than that of war. They were not mach advanced in this respect beyond the ecaditioa of the savage sr Bed Indian, and so instants of that was sharer then that which happened twelve mouths I ago. The asantry was told by its press that an insult bad I beset offered, although many now knew that no insult was intended, but the nation at once rushed to arms. The government were not honest enough to undeceive the people, but snit 10,0011 men across the Atlantic is the depth of winter, whereas if they attempted to settle disputes in a friend way., he believed such a settlement would not only be more just, but infinitely more rapid and more lasting. More thee this, if they looked to the history of every country, sad more particularly to the history of this counts), they would And that if tl ley traced the canoe of every war, looking at it now molly r ahem the time had hag passed by, they must be &mud .Rif ie paseioas and feeling' which led the government and the pa opts to enter into such wars. Our statesmen were fearful of going beyond the prejudices of the people they govonsocl, and were as full of superstition as they could be, recalling to ape s mind the sentiment; of the post, who said, " Old pests chew on wisdom, and totter on in business to the bah" He had no doubt that the statesmen who dated the essemencemeott of their career during the time whoa the war with France was raging throughout Europe were not likely at this time of dayand at their timed life to eatettain differentispinions, although he must say that Lord Palmerston. did on one occasion express opinions entirely is accordance wish those which be (Mr. Bright) wow expressed. He hoped. that his hon. friend would not threes from the course of theopmern met in offering to esde the lonian Islands, because, in his opinion, they had takes • very wise moth, for those islands were of so edvantage to us ; they cagy in volved us in • heavy expenses, and he thought it highly honourable, both to the Queen and the ministry,. to have consented to the proposition to cede those islands themes. Many things which he approved of and advocated were thought by some at first to be foolish, but in time. people came up to them, sad he bad the satidartion of sowsistia.as being • little a-head of the gtheronmet and the mina* The other day, in the Town-ball of Birmingham, be made ode recce to the mike of the Rock of Gibraltar. He eould conceive bow this would shock 60036 people— (laughthir)— but he thought it • question which, when men dis avowed it, they come to be tolerably aoaniosons about. The foreign newspapers in Germany, France, and Spain bad alluded to what he bad said upon this lie n = mid argued from it that there was a great party in in favour of the cession of the Rock of Gibraltar. He the aware that there were smociations sad memories coenethed with that spot which might well make English people pause when they were salted to give it up to Spain. They bad been told from their childhood that it was impregnable, end some people had a notice that what was impregnable I must be valuable, but that depended entirely on whether that which was impregnable was in such a position that its being impregnable wes a great safety for something whisk ' was invaluable. He believed that at this moment most men connected with military affairs would admit that steer all the Rock of Gibraltar was of aerates whatever in time of peens, except that we smuggled • few good. into Spain. It ems monument of a very foolish war, and a very dishonorable paths. It was taken in the name of Charles 111., the secalled lawful sovereign of Spain. sued when the treaty of Utreeld was made we were permitted to keep Minorca and Gibral tar. It had been for a hundred you a grievance to Spain and • constant smarm of embitterment between the tin nations. He bad it from high authority among English statesmen that every negotiation had been thwarted by the exasperation of Spain io consequence of England bolding • portion of her, territory. He hod co doubt if it were given up that suit only would the com mercial relations be improved, but that we should be able to prevent the traffic in uegroes bowies Africa and Cuba, and put an end to the horrible barbarities of the slave node. Some people imagined that the Emperor of the Preach the a most dangerous neighbour —a man of destioy— and that it wag written ins the book of fate that he was to do something dreadful to the Bank of England. Surely if England was anxious for • gaited Italy, as a balance against the power of Fleece, it aught to be still more aexicen to make • friend of Spain for the came purpose. Ho did not himself believe that France IVY a dampness neighbour, but he put forward this argument to meet the views of others. If England were to become more moral and mom just, its Menthes amongst the nations would be greatly increased. and it mould no imager be in the power of such men as General Peel to say that England is detested throughout the world. (Bear, hem.) There was only one other question with which he seed trouble them • the people of Birmingham had sub scribed 3,000/. towards the relief of their suffering coustry men in Leacasbne. That was very honourable to Riming. ham. At the present moment there was the most thins ordinary paralysis that had ever been sees in any seat of io dustry. One party had refused to export cotton, and the ales had blockaded the cottoa parte, so that the whole seethe' cotton in the world had been ionsumed except what remained locked up io the United Stone. What that quantity was nobody knew, but there beig that stock is the united States, with prices four times the ordinary rate, they could conceive how the interests of those engaged in cotton specu lation were affected. He complained that in the 'notion which was made upon the subject of blockades is the House of Lords that the Foreign Secretary had made • careless speech, which be concluded by saying that be lisped the North would in two or three mouths consent to the indepen deuce of the South. The effect of that speech was moot dises teems. Everybody on the Manchester Exchange wasted to sell immediately, and in one cam a man who was taking stork with his partners actually bed to write down that stock at 2,000/. lees then he would otherwise have dose ; then smith the Chancellor of the Exchequer ramie a speech at New castle, in which he contrived to mislead everybody as to his real meaning, tie effect of which was that • gentleman, who the week before had bought 300 bales at Liverpool for the purpose of keeping his mill going till Christmas, pro immediate olden to sell ; and in consequence of the same speech agenta were directed to countermand large orders that had been sent out to India. That was not all, for as soon as the intelligence reached them the circulate of every Bombay house seated that Mr. Gladetone's speech had created great uncertainty, that the price of cotton had fallen, and that them was a dearth of buyers, because it was expected that it would fall still lower. Not ooly had the speeches of public men tinkled the public on this subject. but the neesiapers had also done serious injury. The Timm had for two years taken up its parable against the tweedy millions of men in the free states, end lied indulged in as many prophecies es Merlin • not one of which lied been fulfilled. There was pot a 01110 in M6Debtater or Liverpool but admitted that the influence of or, to speak noire correctly still, the malice of rt rl p n aP e ar to the United States bad produced the most dieuttons cousequenose in Lancathire. It had been constantly holding out hopes that the present state of things would shortly come to an end, and its arteclee, coupled with the speeches of our states men, have induced people to believe that toy stork Of cotton now in the United States would shortly be released. Witbio the last two years, however, great events hail takth place. In Ramie serfdom bad been put an end to, and is the United Metes, by the most wonderful series of combs that was coming to path which three years ago no lima dared hope for, is spite of what prejudiord, unjust, or wicked men might du ; the cause of freedom moved Deward, sad it wee not in human power to resist its onward pro. moo for " God from evil still educes god; And freedom's seed, will grow though steeped in blood.' (Cheery.) Many conscientious men, said the Imo. eeetlemea, in conclusion, may think me mistaken and danger can, but I say that if we are to shun • party spirit, to examine these questions feirly and mo rally to endeavour to decide them thoughtfully, much will lie done to elevate our people, to humse our nth teflon.. to make broader sad infer the fonadations of our freedom, and to build up sad to preserve that spirit of liberty which would do much to help forward the advance ment of the world. (loud cheers, amidst which the boa. member roomed hi seat).
