EIGHTH REPORT of the ALLIANCE BANK ;Limited). At a GENERAL MEETING of the Shareholders, held at the London Tavern, Itialiopagatestreet, In the City of London, on 1'R11)A V, 13th July, lade, The following REPORT was presented : The Directors have to report that the net profits of the Rank for the last hall-year after making the necessary deductions for interest on current and deposit accounts, current expenses, bad debts, and rebate on bills not yet due), amount to £25,418 de. which with £1,839 13s. 5a1., balance from the previous half-year, makes a total of £27,256 05. 3d.

L 27,256 0 3 The extreme severity of the crisis through which monetary Institutions have passed since the last general meeting of the Shareholders, hos no doubt led many to expect a leas favourable result than appears by the above figures. The Directors are glad, therefore, to he able to show an amount of profit for the last half-year which warrants their recommending the declara tion of the same rate of dif Wend as was paid in January last, viz., £5 per cent. per annum free of income tax, notwithstanding the considerable decrease which has taken place in the amount of current and deposit accounts since the last report. and the lam occasioned by the forced sale of securities during the late panic. These sacrifices are the Immo to he regretted, ea up to the 11th May no bosses had been incurred by the Sank, nor was It in• voiced in any disasters to justify the mistrust that existed. At the same thus, it must be gratifying to all interested to find that the business has nut been more serioualy impaired, and to learn that confidence in the Bank is steadily returning. Messrs Daniell, Paterson, and Stenhouse havingresigned their seats at the board, the Directors hope shortly to fill their places with gentlemen who.e moms and influence will be of material benefit to the Bank.

Notwithstanding the splendour of fernier displays, every exertion will be made to render the coming Exhibition still more worthy of the distinguished patroness it is sure to command. The experience gained in lighting up the Fountains and Water Temples will be turned to account, and the aid of the magnesium illumination exhibited from the two balloons and the illumination of the fountains on the last occasion—will be brought to bear in such a manner that, without detracting from the artistic merits of the Set Pieces, the Display at the Finale will be of surpassing grandeur, resulting in a coup-d'ceil of =para. Soled magnificence. The great novelty of the evening will be the &went of two fiery Comets from the summit of the lofty water towers 4103 feet higher than the cross of fit. Pants) to the /Terrace Fountains. which will burst into light as the Comets explode, an effect pos. aiblein no other place In the world. The Palace will be opened, as usual, at ten in the morning.

The effect of the various coloured lights thrown on to the fountains was exceedingly beautiful." "The sight from the Palace on looking towards the gardens when the different coloured rockets lit up the whole of the grounds was really remarkable—the upturned faces of the visitors appearing now crimson, now amber, uow mauve, and indeed exhausting all the most beautiful tints." " The Crystal Palace, brilliantly illuminated with long dazzling lines of gas. is alone worth a journey to Norwood to see " " Among the set pieces was one of surpassing magnificence. it was said to be the largestever fired. being 'MO feet in ammo ferenee while burning. It was in the grai id coup d'rcirlproduced by the illumination of the fountains that the variona brilliant effects of the magnesium lights reached their culminating point. These formed a most charming and imposing termination, and appeared to afford the most complete satisfaction to the thousands of visitors amerabled." _ _ . " display of fireworks and ►lhtmination of the fountains are fairly entitled to be spoken of as magnificent." " The effect of the fireworks was materially enhanced by the playing of the fountains, each of which presented alternately green, crimson, blue, and golden showers. To attempt to de scribe this imposing exhibition would be to do It an injustice ; suffice it, therefore, to say that It was a great success, and that to be appreciated it must be KIM."

CONVICTION OP THE JERSEY MURDERER.—A SCENE IN COURT. —The Royal Court of Jersey was engaged the whole of Monday and Tuesday in trying Francis Bradley, who stood charged with the wilful murder of Miss Esther Lc Brun, an old lady who resided in the parish of St. Peter's, about four miles from St. Helier's. The Attorney-General appeared for the prosecu tion, and Advocate Vickery for the prisoner. The circum stances of the case were of a very aggravated character, and the evidence against theaccused was wholly circumstantial. It appeared that on the night of the 3rd May last some person or persons feloniously entered the residence of the deceased lady, having made a large hole in the roof of her house, which was thatched. On the following morning she was found strangled in her bed. The prisoner, who had already been guilty of several robberies, and who had, in fact, made his escape from the officers of justice only a few days before the murder, was apprehended on suspicion of being the guilty party, and although for a considerable time the police were unable to procure anything like conclusive evidence against him, he (by disclosures which he made from time to time) gave them such a clue that at last they were enabled to present to the court such a chain of circumstantial evidence that the jury, after consulting for about half an hour, found him guilty of having murdered Miss Le Brun. During the trial he repeatedly interrupted the pro ceedings by charging both the judges (the bailiff and jurats) and the Attorney-General with perverting justice, and with being no better than highway robbers. The bailiff having consulted the bench, the jurats granted the conclu sions of the Attorney-General—that the prisoner be sen tenced to be hanged, and that he be allowed one month to seek for mercy. The bailiff and the jurats having covered themselves, the prisoner was requested to kneel, but he re fused to do so. He was then compelled by the usher of the court and the turnkeys to kneel. The bailiff passed sen tence of death in the usual manner, adding that it was very painful for him to see the hands of so young a man stained with the blood of a fellow creature. Prisoner—You are an assassin. Bailiff —Thelaw compels me to pass sentence of death upon'you,Francis Bradley. You are condemned to be taken from where you will be confined to the place of ex ecution, and— Prisoner—You are a lot of brigands and thieves. Bailiff—And with the rope round your neck, there to be strangled until death ensue, and— The pri soner here again interrupted the bailiff by using very foul language. Bailiff—And all your chattels, if you have any, are confiscated to the crown. The prisoner was then re moved. After this frightful seem, the sympathy which had been felt for the prisoner on account of his youth im mediately disappeared. It is now very many years since there was an execution in Jersey, and the result of this trial has created great excitement there. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (truTzz's TFLICALUIL) THE WAR IN GERMANY.

The usual compliment to the chairman concluded the business. ORANGE DEMONSTRATION AT WIOAN.-011 Thurs day, the 12th of July, the town of Wigan was for many hours in a state of great excitement caused by the visit of some 2,000 Orangemen and Orangewomen from Liver pool, to assist their Wigan friends in celebrating their anniversary. About 1,300 or 1,400 members and friends of the Loyal Orange Institution of Great Britain arrived by rail in two special trains between nine and ten o'clock, and then, joining the 200 members which the institution musters in Wigan, began a march through the principal streets of the town, cheered as they went by the inspiriting strains of half a dozen bands of music. Every member wore an orange scarf, the women, of whom there were a great number, carried orange lilies or displayed the orthodox colour prominently in their dress, and scores of banners were carried aloft. In several quarters of the town, the procession was warmly cheered, and occasionally in response pistols were fired, but di rectly this came under the notice of the police the offenders were taken into custody. The destination of the procession was St. Catharine's Church, where morn ing prayers were read and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas Bighorn, incumbent, from Galatians, i. 8. Throughout the day the principal streets were filled with sTectators, and it was not till some time after the • special" had returned that the town was quiet again. ACCIDENT IN A LIVERPOOL GRAVING DOCK. About a week since the barque has, Captain Hyland, I nr'ived in the Mersey with a cargo of rum and sugar from Demerara, and ate , discharging her cargo preparations were at once undertaken for the purpose of placing the vessel on the Clarence 'gridiron, in orderithat some repairs might be effected to her bottom. Everything being in readi ness, the Ilan was safely placed on the gridiron. Early yesterday morning some ship carpenters commenced operations, but left off at eight o'clock for the purpose of getting breakfast. The men bad scarcely gut clear of the ship when a loud crash was heard, and on turning round to see the cause of it to their horror they discovered that the Iles had toppled over, in consequence of her moorings or supports giving way, and lay almost a wreck at the bottom of the dock. It was at first feared that some of the carpenters employed had not got away before the vessel lurched over, but it fortunately turns out that no lives have been lost. The Ms is an old vessel, built, we believe, nearly half a eentury ago either in Sweden or Norway.

The news which I sent you yesterday, probably exclusively, and entirely from a private source, that the Emperor would not go to Nancyto-morrow, is confirmed by several of the evening papers. In the present state of European affairs his Majesty cannot leave the Tuileries telegraph office. It is said, however, that not wholly to disappoint the Nancy people, the Empress and the Prince Im perial will go there by themselves. The Patric says it is possible that even at the last moment the Emperor may decide to accompany them. Not only was a brother of Prince de Metternich, the Austrian ambassador in Paris, seriously wounded at Sadowa, as already stated, but Count Liondsi Sandor, a brother of the Princess de Met ternich, was killed. The Metternich" are ex tremely popular in the highest Parisian society, ani condolence with them on the double family calamity which has fallen upon them is very ge neral. The Erentment contradicts the statement that both sons of Baron de Seebach, Saxon minister at Paris, bad escaped unhurt in the terrible en_ counter at Sadowa. The elder, only 21 years of age, who fought in the Austrian ranks, was killed while bravely leading on his men. A Venetian fete is to be given at the Pompeian Villa (late Prince Napoleon's) on the evening of July 19, to which ladies may go if they like in masks and dominoes. The Bourse was not so good in consequence of the want of confirmation of the rumours of yester day touching the armistice. It is still, however, asserted that Prussia is disposed to make conces sions, and that the difficulty now rather lies with Austria. Bento fell 615 c. .NA TI ONA L RIFLE ASSOCIATION. Yesterday was the closing day of the contest for the Queen's Prize in the first stage. Sir William Martin's Prize was a new competition entered upon yesterday, being a Challenge Cup value 501. with 501. in specie added, but restricted to those who have distinguished themselves as marksmen of the first class in their respective regi ments, the competitors to shoot seven shots each at 1)00 yards. The conditions were that the cup should be held by the best shot for the year, and also receiving 10L, the two next best *Leta 51. each, and the ten next best shots 3/. each. There were upwards of 1,000 competitors for this prize. The contests for the following prizes were also continued :—The Liaily Telegraph, Albert (500 yards), Enfield Association Cup, Extra Prizes, Alex andra, Pool, Running Deer, and Running Man. The second competition by military breech-loaders at 200 and 500 yards was commenced yesterday, any breech loader to be used. The rifles were supplied by Mr. Westley Richards, Mr. Dime, Mr. Kerr, and Mr. Henry, and there was a most extraordinary rifle on the ground of American construction. This strange instrument is loaded at the bottom of the stock, and from a dozen cartridges can be inserted. These by a spring are forced up into the barrel, and as one cartridge is discharged another is raised up into its place. As these cartridges contain their own ignition almost a continuous fire can be kept up. For the breech-loading contest four series of prizes of 251. each are given. There are two or three other prizes,and one of 251. given by Mr. Westley Richards, three minutes to be allowed to each competitor, who was at liberty to fire in any position, and the great est number of shots made in that time would give the winner of the chief prize. The rest of the prizes to be given according to the order of merit. The l'rince of Wales arrived at the common at a quarter before 3 o'clock, and was received by Earl Spencer, Lord Elcho, and other members of the council. He accompanied Lord Elcho to the cottage, where he remained fur about an hour and a half, and partook of refreshments. His royal highness then went, accompanied by Earl Spencer, to the tiring point at the Swiss target, at butt F, and the Prince said he wished to see some good shooting, end requested Captain Horatio Ross and Private Edward Roes to shoot two or three shots. Captain Rose accordingly fired at 800 yards, and made a bull's-eye. Mr. Edward Roes then came forward, and make two cartons ; that is, hitting a small spew four inches square in the middle of au 8-inch bull's eye, and his third shot was bull's-eye. The Prince of Wales then asked Captain Ross to lend him his Whitworth rifle, and be tired at the same range, and made a centre. The Prince of Wales afterwards went to the pool shooting for the running deer, at which he tried his hand. He made a ; centre, two outer*, and then he struck the deer in the haunch. By the regulations of the Association any one hitting the deer in the haunch renders himself liable to a ; fine of one shilling, and this Faun the l'rinoe cheerfully paid. He then made another shot, and finished up with a bull's eye. Lord Elcho held hie hat to the Prince for the fine, and this was received by the crowd with shouts of laughter. His Royal Highness then visited the compe , titers for the running prizes, and complimented Mr. l'eterkin, late of Cambridge University Corps, and Private ' Lilley, of the London Scottish, on the skill they had displayed, and the high scores they had made, expressing his opinion that this competition was very hard work. The Prince did not leave the ground until 10 minutes to 7 o'clock, and on his departure he was lustily cheered by the volunteers. It was subsequently ascertained that Private Newton, of the let Hereford, had made three ' scores of 19, 10, and 13, making a total of 48, for the ' Queen's prize in the first stage ; while Private James, of the Queen's Westminster,, made a similar total score, con sisting of 10, 15, and 17 ; but as it is a regulation of the ' National Rifle Association that those who make the largest number of hits in the last ',lnge shall have the • preference, it does away with the shooting off of ties. Con : sequently Mr. James takes the silver medal of the asso ciation, 50/., the National Rifle Association's silver badge , • and a match rifle value 20/. Those who will receive e • other prizes will he found enumerated in the o ffi cial return. To-day there will be a performance in the camp by [ the Chnsty minstrels. BELGIAN NATIONAL RIFLE ASIIOCIATION, 1866. The Commission of the Belgian Rifle Association will hold their annual meeting at Brussels, from the lird September to the 2nd October next inclusive. All English Volunteers will be heartily welcomed by the Belgians, who express a hope that this invitation will be accepted ; they will then have nn opportuity to express to their English brethren, otherwise than in words. the profound gratitude which they feel towards them for the gracious hospitality and the unlimited kindness which they have received during their visit to England. CHURCH RATES.—OH Friday, the Earl of Derby received the chairman and secretary of the Council of the Church Institution on the church rate question, and the result was very satisfactory. Mr. Disraeli has been asked to receive a deputation before Wednesday, when there is no doubt Mr. Gladstone intends to bring on his Church Rate BilL There are two opposed bills on the paper be fore it, but of no great consequence. Although the debate may very likely be adjourned, it is evident that the con. servatives should be at their posts prepared for a division, though in what form it would be best to take it the Cabinet Lave not, of course, been able to consider, owing to the pressure of other matters. —Join Bull.

ETON. The innings for Harrow closed for 302. About fi o'clock Eton entered on their innings, and shortly after wards her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, accom panied by the Countess of Dunmore, honoured the ground with her presence, and was received with grent enthu siasm. About the same time, also, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, accompanied by the Hon. Elliot Yorke, came on the ground, and wee warmly received- Eton sent to the wickets Mr. Barrington and the Hon T. Pelham to the bowling of Messrs. Mathews and Cobden. I The Hon T. Pelham did not score, and the first wicket fell for one run. Mr. Foley followed, but Mr. Barrington scoring a single only, the second wicket fell for two runs. The next was Mr Lubbock, and he, when' he bad scored 14, drove a ball which was stopped by a youth, who threw it to a fieldsman. Mr. Lubbock had run two runs, and in turning for a third, seeing the ball stopped, he concluded, it was • hit for which three were allowed (four if hit over the ropes), and that the ball was dead. Mr. Lubbock thew back to his wicket, but before Mr. Foley could get on to his ground his wicket was put down, and he was pronounced by the umpire to be run out, Mr. Lubbock, considering it to be not so, im ntedistely left his wicket and walked to the Pavilion, followed by the whole of the field. A scene of the greatest excitement ensued, and the centre of the ground was soon crowded with spec tators, each discussing the point and giving vent to their opinions. Ultimately • committee of the Marylebone Club was held, and their opinion coincided with that of the umpire. The game was interrupted for about three-quar ters of an hour, and it being balf•pvaat 7 no more play took place. BnlttlienN Ci.rn v.

JAMEWB PALACE, Jute —Notice is hereby given, that the State apartments of Wind.or Castle will he open to the public under the usual regulations on and after Monday next, the 16th inst.—Gazette. THE NEW CHIEF ilAnus. —The new Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, will commence his judicial duties at Northampton, and after circuit will pro bably be the " long vacation" judge at chambers, instead of Mr. Justice Lush, who would, according to custom, have filled the post as the last appointed judge. WEDDING PREVENTS.—The regard felt by the friends of the Princess I lelena for that amiable bride has chiefly taken the form of jewellery—diamonds, rubies, sapphires, turquoises enough to furnish a West-end shop. The King and Queen of the Belgians indulge in sentiment, having put " Souvenir" in turquoi s e s on their gold band bracelet. So does the Princess Louis of Hesse, who has set her " A. L." in diamonds and rubies in the centre of a heart-shaped crystal locket, and so does her Royal High ness the Duchess of .Mecklenburg, who has put " Salve" in diamonds on the blue enamel centre of a circular gold locket. On the whole, the great people seem to feel as much difficulty anal to show as little re source in wedding presents as the small. We once heard a man complain of having a small ebopful of bronze ornaments presented to hint, another of having received twelve dial-pieces—a good supply for a middling-sized watchmaker—and another, with ICU opu lent relatives, of having the range of six butter knives ; but the Princess Helena will be persevering and conscien tious if she wears all this jewellery once before she dies. The cumulation of the name kind of wedding pet sent. cer tainly diminishes the gratification to the instinct of pro perty. If the contents of an ironmonger's shop were emptied at the feet of a middle-class bride, we do not think her pleasure would be as great as her embarrass ment ; and there is no great difference between having a vast superfluity of lockets and • vast superfluity of fenders. —Spectator. QCESTIONABLE VERDICT. —We hope the atten tion of the Home Secretary will be drawn to an extraordi nary conviction for rape on the Oxford Circuit. The single circumstance telling against the prisoner was that he had inveigled the prosecutrix into his house by false pretence. that there were other female inmates. Tbis was properly a presumption against the purposes of the prisoner, but it did not follow that be had encountered the resistance without which there could not be the offence. The rusecutrix remained in the holies, and walked about with her alleged ravisher; and the medical evidence was that there was no appearance of force, or, indeed, of any offence. The prisoner is sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude, xhich leads to the inference that the judge concurred with the jury, but on what grounds we cannot imagine,if the report of the evidence be correct. The case is known as the Reading case.—Exasriser.
