48 TUN ATLANTIC TICLKURAPH FIPEDITION. A diary of the great expedition, whose success has aim paid into the region of history, hes just been pub lished, the diarist being Mr. John C. Deane. It extends over emend newspaper columns ; but a large portion of it sessiale of • summary of the war and home news, includ ing 'Via the markets, received daily during the progress of the voyage ; it being remarked that " news comes to the Orest Neate' niegraph se regularly as Mr. Renter sends ft to the Leaden newspapers." The Great Eastern left Deroluives, Bantry Bay, at 6.30 p.m. on Thursday, the 12th of July ; and the diary includes everything of im portance that immured from that time up to the landing of the cable. We subjoin • few extracts relating chiefly to the laying of the cable and incidents connected with it : SUNDAY, JOLT 15. All through yesterday the paying-out machinery worked SO snaeothly—the electrical tests were so perfect—the weather was so fine, that fresh confidence in the ultimate result has been naturally inspired. The recollection, how over, of the reverses of the expedition of 1865 is always before them whohave the greatest reliance in success ; and there Is a quiet repose about the manner of the chief prac tical men on board which is an earnest that they will not allow themselves to be carried away by the smoothness of twisty-four hairs' events. The convoy kept their position eeenratitly during the day. The Terrible signalled to us at L 45 p.m. that a man had fallen overboard. Her cutter was speedily lowered. The sailor had, however, laid hold of • rope thrown to him from the frigate before the boat molted him. At 10.45 p.m. kir. Willoughby Smith sent tee the latest news from Europe, set up in this form : "The Great Eastern Telegraph. Saturday evening, 10.45 p.m., July 14, 1866. Vol. I, No. 1. General Cial dini is moving upon Rovigo with an army of more than 100,000 men and 200 guns. The Austrians have evacuated the whole country between the Wand° and the Adige." Reams 1t not a feat sublime, Intellect bath eonquered time. The welcome arrival of this message (and by concert with the shore we shall be kept advised of all the leading Swope= news) is a practical proof of the valise of our (thief electrician's arrangements ; for while the message was being transmitted to u the insulation testa were con tinuously going on. MONDAY, JULY 16. Still everything going on well. The sea like a mill pond. The paying out of the cable from the after-tank ',opening with uniform certainty and steadiness, and the electrical tests perfect. We are now paying out some of the cable of 1865. This tank contains 839.685 miles, of white there are 267 miles of the old cable. The fore tank, from which we shall pay out next, bolds 670.83 Exiles, with about three miles of shore end, and the number of miles stowed in the main is 865.439. Mr. Canning calculates that we shall have payed out the gemalning portion of the old cable by to-morrow morning, and if nothing anon in the way of accident, be Thursday **ht, or early on Friday morning, the after-tank will be emptied. We ought to be then pretty nearly half way to Maori's Content. TUE:4OAT, JOLT 17. Another twenty-four hours of uninterrupted 'access. All day yesterday it was so calm that the masts of our envoy were reflected in the ocean, an unusual thing to see. A large shoal of porpoises gambolled shout us for half an hour. A glorious sunset, and, later, • crescent Isom, which we hope to see in the brightness of her full, lighting our way into Trinity Bay before the days of this July shall have ended. At 7.55 a.m., Greenwich time, the remaining portion of the cable of 1865 had been paid out of the tank, and we are now rapidly getting rid of the Jiff! cable. At 9.10 the screw engines were slowed to 18 revolutions, and the paddles slowed to 4. Our average speed since we left has been about 5. The strain indicated by the dynamometer since yesterday at 12 o'clock has been 11. After breakfast we saw a barque to the northward steering eastward. Our progress up to yesterday is thus indicated in the official paper posted in the cabin:—Cable Pad out, 537.82 ; slack on distance, 12.44 ; lat. 52 deg, 15rain., lon. 23 deg.4B min.; distance from Valentia-office 496.1; to Heist's Content-office, B. 89, 35 W., 1,173; depth of water, 1,950. Wind south. News from London just as Ire were at lunch. WEDNV4DAT, JULY 18. A fresh breese from the southward—a dull grey sky,with occasional rain, and a moderate sea prevailed from noon yesterday. At 5.28 p.m., Greenwich tune, a bell in con. swim with the electrical room sounded in the tank. Mr. Temple, one of Mr. Canning's staff, being on duty, imme• diately pressed the valve of the steam whistle, which is fitted, at Mr. Latimer Clarke's suggestion, at the stern, and communicates by compressed air through piping to the screw ' paddle-engines, and helm, a similar apparatus being fitted in the bows of the ship. The signal was so promptly answered by the engineers, that the Great Eastern was stopped in less than her own length. Mr. Mark hearing the bell, ran at the top of his speed to the paddle engines' hatchway ; but long before he could reach it they were stopped. Of course great anxiety arose to ascertain what was the matter. We were all delighted to learn that it was a false alarm. One of Mr. Wil loughby Smith's assistants had by mere accident touched the spring of the bell. We had, however, practical proof from this incident that every one was at his post ; and Captain Anderson, ever thoughtful and watchful, took advantage of what occurred to make some alterations in ooneert with Mr. Canning in the instructions to the oleos: on duty, so that he should verbally communicate with the engineer if a similar alarm was given, and not trust entirely to the whistle system, effective though it ia in working. All went on well until 12.20 a.m., Green. with time, when the first real shock was given to the sue ems which has hitherto attended us ; and this time w e had real cause to be alarmed. A foul flake took place in the after tank. The engine' were immediately turned astern, and the paying out of the cable stopped. We were all soon on the deck, and learned that the running or paying out port of the coil had caught three turns of the Sake immediately under it, carried them into the eye of the evil, fouling the lay out, and hauling up one and a half tans from the outside and five turns in the eye of the snider flake. This was stopped fortunately before entering the paying-out machinery. Stoppers of hemp also were put *anew the V wheel astern, and Mr. Canning gave orders to stand by to let go the buoy. This was not very cheering to hear, but his calm and collected manner gave us all con fidence that his skill and experience would extricate the cable from the obvious danger in which it was placed. No fishing line was ever entangled worse than the rope was when throat up in apparently hopeless knots from the eye of the mil to the deck. There at least 500 feet of rope lay in this elate, in the midst of thick rain and increasing wind. The cable crew set to work, under their chief en emata's instillations, to disentangle it. Mr. Halpin was there, too, patiently following the bights as they showed themselves, the crew now passing them forward, now aft, luta at last the character of the tangle was seen, and soon it Worm apparent that ere long the cable would be cleared. All this time Captain Anderson was at the taffrail anxiously watching the strain on the rope, which he could scarcely make out the night was so dark, and endeavouring to keep it up and down, going on and reversing with paddle and screw. When one reflects for a moment upon the size of the ship and the enormous mass she presents to the wind, the difficulty of keeping her stern under the circumstances over the cable can be appreciated. The pert . paddle wheel was disconnected, but shortly after wards there was a shift of wind, and the vessel canted the wrong way. Welcome voices were now beard passing the word aft from the tank that the bights were cleared, and to pay out. Then the huge stoppers were gently loosened, end at 2.5 a.m., to the joy of all, we were once more discharging the cable. FRIDAY, JULY 20. Yesterday was a day of complete success ; the paying out in every respect satisfactory. The wind still from the eastward. but inolined to draw to the northward ; the sea entirely gone down. As Mr. Canning told us we should seethe after tank emptied at eleven o'clock (ship's time), we were all collected there about ten o'clock, by which time th• cable was down to the last flake. Nest to having daylight for changing from the after to the fore-tank we could not have had a more favourable time—clear starlight —no wind and a smooth sea. Looking down into the tank the scene was highly picturesque. The cable-watch,whose figures IMO lighted up by the lamps suspended from above, slowly sod cautiously lifted the turns of the coil to 1111211 their path to the eye. As each found its way to the drum the wooden floor of the tank showed itself, and then we saw more floor, and as its area increased the cable swept along its surface with • low subdued noise, until with grateful curve it mounted to the outlet, where it was nos to join • fresh supply. And now we hear the word pared that they have arrived at the last turn, and then the nee who stand on stages of the platforms rd the eye THE. EXPRESS, - - SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST , Ravi 1866. with the bight, watch the arrival of the able, and pas it 'up with tender caution until it reaches the summit ; than it ruabes down a wooden incline to meet the spliced rope, which had by this time come down along the trough leading from the forward tank. This operation was cunducted with great skill by Mr. Canning and his ex. perienoed assistants, Messrs. Clifford and Temple. At 1.11 a.m. (Greenwich) the fresh rope was going over the stern, and the screw engines going ahead at 1.13. A watch of four men is now stationed fore and aft all along the trough, which is illuminated by many lamps at short dis tances from each other. A lamp with a green light indi cate* the mile-mark as it comes up from the tank, and this signal is repeated until it reaches the stern, where it is recorded by the clerk who keeps the cable-log in an office adjoining the paying-out machinery. A red lamp indicates danger. During the daytime redandblue flap are used. All through the night the sea was smooth am glass, and by this morning we saw that a sensible impression had been made on the contents of the fore tank of shore-end. The after tank held 839 miles. The ship begins to lighten at the bows, and by this time to-morrow will come up more as the cable passes out of the tank. At 7.30 am, we saw a ship-rigged vessel to the northward, steering about E. by S., distance seven or eight miles. The wind shifted to S.W. about daybreak. Terrible, Albany, and Medway all in position. SATURDAY, JOLT 21. Yesterday was our seventh day of paying out cable, and es far we have been more fortunate than the expedition of last year. During the same period in 1865 two faults had occurred, one on the 24th July, the other on the 29th, causing &detention of 56 hours. At 3 p.m. we were half way, and passed where the Atlantic cable of 1858 parted twice, on the 26th and 28th of June. Sad memories to many ! We feel, however, that every hour is increasing our chance of arc cting this great work. " I believe we shall do it thia time, Jack," I heard one of our crew say to another last night. " I believe so, too, Bill," was the reply, " and if we don't, we deserves to do it, and that's all." It blew very hard from 2 o'clock yesterday up to 10 p.m., by which time the wind gradually found its way from south-west to north-west, which is right ahead—just what we want for cable laying. The Terrible and the two other ships plunged into the very heavy sea which the south-wester raised, and we made up our minds from what we saw that the Great Eastern is the right ship to be in in a gale of wind. 1 During the night heavy showers of rain. This morning the sea was comparatively smooth, and the sky showed welcome patches of bright blue. If all goes well we shall be up to-morrow evening at the place where last year's cable parted. A couple of days would bring us to shal lower water, and then we may fairly look for our " Heart's Content." Messages come from England with the news, regularly and speedily—excellent practice for the clerks on shore and on board ship—great comfort to us, and the beet evidence to those who will read this journal of the great fact that up to this time the cable is doing its electric work efficiently. The observations of the day place the ship in lat. 51'18, long. 361. ; wane, 8.81,30 W.; wind, N.W. ; distance run, 962.3 ; payed out, 1,074.33 nautical miles of cable. 716.7 miles from Heart's Content in 1,800 fathoms of water ; average strain on the dynamometer, 14. The cable touches the water at a distance of about 230 feet from the stern, and the angle it snakes is generally 10 to 12. The weather looking fine, but it is variable between long. 30 and 45 even at this time of the year. SUNDAY, JULY 22. Still =COM to record. A bright clear day, with a fresh and invigorating breeze from the north-west. Cable going out with unerring smoothness at the rate of Biz miles an hour. There has been great improvement in the insula tion. On leaving Sheerness the resistance of the gutta percha per knot was about 900 millions ohmads, as they are scientifically called, or in other words " units." It is now about 1,900 millions units, which shows an increased resistance of 5,000 millions per knot on the portion already laid. It must be borne in mind that this result has been obtained by tests made through the whole length of the cable, both that part of it already submerged and that remaining on board ship, and that this remarkable improvement is attributable to the greatly decreased temperature of and pressure on the cable in the asa. This is a very satisfactory result to Mr. Willoughby Smith. Signals too come every hour with great distinctness. This morning the breeze freshened. We are now about 30 miles to the southward of the place where the cable parted on the 2nd August, 1865, having then paid out 1,213 miles. Captain Anderson read divine morels,e in the dining saloon. MONDAY, JOLT 23. Between 6 and 7 p.m. yesterday, we passed over the deepest part of our course. There was no additional strain on the dynamometer, which indicated from 10 to 14, the cable going out with its accustomed regularity. The wind still fresh from the north-westward. During the night it went round to the south-west, and this morning there is • long roll from the southward. At 11.46a.m. Mr. Cyrus Fieldsent a message to Valentia, requesting Mr. Glass to obtain the latest news from India and China ; so that on our arrival at Heart's Content we shall be able to transmit it to the principal cities of th e United States. In just eight minutes he had s reply in these words —" Your message received, and is in London by this." Outside the telegraph room there is a placard put up on which is posted the news shortly after itsarrivid, and groups of the crew may be seen read ing it just an we see • crowd at • newspaper office in Lon. don. Mr. Dudley, the artist, has made a very spirited sketch of " Jack " reading the contents of the morning's telegraphic news of the Times, Printing-house-square being distant in or about 1,600 miles. On board the Great Eastern ship of luxury, he has been supplied with the latest intelligence from the seat of war twice • day. How he will grumble when he gets ashore. He is not going to pay • pound • word for news, but his news papers will supply it to him, and he does not know or care what it costa. But what a sum has been spent in Atlantic telegraphs. It cannot now fall short of two millions and • half, or over 12 millions of dollar,. Those millions will be found if it shall be practically proved that America can permanently talk to England, and through her to the Eastern hemisphere, and England to America, by this ocean wire. At a quarter to 12 to-day but 215 miles of cable re mained to be paid out of the furs tank. Towards night we hope to see it empty. Then for a small supply from the main tank, and then—but hopeful though we are, let us not anticipate. The following is just to hand : " Five days' armistice between Austrians and Prussians commenced noon to-day. More fighting in Tyrol. At Vatri Ledra yesterday Austrians claim victory." Noon.—Lat., 50 deg. 15 min. 48 sec. ; long., 42 deg. 36min. 31 see. Course, S. 74, 33 W., wind, S.S.W. Dis tance run, 1,196.9 ; payed out, 1,345.24. From. Heart's Content, 472.1.

Five hundred and two souls who live on board this huge ship following their prescribed occupations. Cable going out merrily. Electrical tests and signals perfect, and this is the history of what has taken place from noon yesterday to noon to-slay. May we have three days more of such delightful monotony. It rained very hard during yester day evening, and as we approach the banks of Newfound. land we get thick and hazy weather. The " Great Eastern Telegraph" publishes the following "Austrians have accepted preliminaries of peace proposed by Prussians, which excludes her from new German Con federation, to be organised by latter. Baring Brothers announce that large remittances are on their way to pay the dividends on the Mexican Bonds. Consols, money, 888 to No alteration in Bank rate expected for a week or two.

Notice of question on this subject in the house to-night, and of five days' armistice confirmed. News of this morning considers Prussia has fully justified her threats by deeds, and that the Prussian army is better in every particular than the Austrian. The Daily New considers that the security of the Austrian monarchy does not require another battle to be fought, and hopes that no delusive ambition as to leadership in Germany will turn the Emperor from thoughts of peace. English Ladies Association formed for relief of sick and wounded pri soners of all sides in Germany and Italy. Countess of Shaftesbury, Miss Nightingale, Madame Lind-Goldschmidt, and a powerful committee. Some disturbance is expected in Hyds-park this eveaiag ; the Roan Secretary and Sir Richard Mayes are detertaiand to prevent the proposed political gathering, while the advanced reformers are equally resolved on holding it.

Fog and thick rain, just the weather to expect on ap proaching the banks of Newfoundland. The convoy keep their position, and though sometimes the fog hides the ships from our view, yet we know where they are by their signal whilitles—two from the Terrible, three from the Medway, and four from the Albany, which is replied to by a prolonged single shriek from our whistle. At 1.52 Greenwich time (ship's time 10.45 p.m. last night) the fore-tank being nearly empty, prepara tions were made for passing the bight of the cable into the main tank. At 2.15, all the jockey-wheels of the paying-out machinery were up, and the breaks re leased. 2.23, the bight was passed steadily and cautiously by the cable hands outside of the trough to the main tank, and at 2.35 the splice went out over the stern into 1542.8 fathoms. By arrangement with Sir James Hope, the ad- I miral of the North American station, who has received in structions from the Admiralty to give the present expedi tion every assistance in his power, a frigate or sloop will be placed in long. 48 deg. 25 min. 52 sec., which is just 30 miles from the entrance to Trinity Bay, and 60 from Heart's Content. She will probably hang on by a kedge in that position, which shows the " fair way " right up the Bay ; and if it be clear, we ought to see her about day break on Friday morning. The fog was very thick this morning, but occasionally lifts. As long as the wind ia from the south-west we cannot expect clear weather. Noon.—Lt. 42 deg. 29 min. 40 see., lon. 48 deg. 10 min., 40 sec. Distance run, 1,430. Cable paid out, 1,610.53. Per centage of slack, 12.62. Distance from Heart's Content, 239.8 miles. THURSDAY. JULY Z. MI day yesterday it was as "thick as mustard." We have have had now 48 hours of fog. Though it lifted a little this morning at 5 a.m., it still looks like more of it. Captain Anderson signalled to the Albany at 10.15 last night to start at daybreak, and'proceed to lat. 48 deg. 25 min., long. 52 deg. 30 min., to discover the station ship, and report us at hand. Should she fail to find her, then to try and make the land, and guide us up Trinity Bey. Another signal was sent at 12.30 to the effect that the Terrible and Medway would be sent a-head to meet the Albany, and establish a line to lead us in even with a fog. The Albany started at 3.30. At 4.45, Greenwich time, the cable-engineer in charge took one weight off each brake of the paying-out machinery. At 7.40 all weights taken off ; the assumed depth being 300 fathoms. The indicated strain on the dynamometer gra dually decreasing. Speed of ship 5 knots. Wind variable from S.W. to N.W., and then N.E. to East. We are going to try and pink up the Gable of 1865 in 2,500 fathoms (and we mean to succeed too) ; therefore should the cable we are now paying out part, it can be understood how easy it would be to raise it from a depth of 300 fathoms. At 8.55 we signalled to the Terrible to sound, and received a reply-160 fathoms. At 11.30 we informed her that when at the buoy off Heart's Content she should have her paddle-box boat and two cutters ready to be alongside immediately for holding the bight of the cable during the splice and laying the shore end. The Medway was told at the same time to prepare two 5-inch ropes and two large mushroom anchors with 50 fathoms chain for anchoring during splice in 170 fathoms water, and we inti mated to her that when inside Trinity Bay we should signal for two boats to take bands on board her for shore end. News of to-day—Telegram from Mr. Glass, in reply to one from Mr. Canning : " I congratulate you all most sincerely on your arrival in 130 fathoms. I hope nothing will interfere to mar the hitherto brilliant success, and that the cable will be landed to-morrow. 0. B. - FRIDAY. JULY 27. Shortly after 2 p.m. yesterday two ships, whicL were soon made out to be steamers, were seen to the west ward, and the Terrible, steaming on a-head, signalled to us that H.M.S. Niger was one of them, accompanied by the Albany. The Niger, Captain Bruce, sent a boat to the Terrible as soon as he came up with her. The Albany shortly afterwards took up her position on oar starboard quarter, and signalled that she spoke the Niger at noon bearing E. by N., and that the Lily was anchored at the station at the entrance of Trinity Bay, as arranged with the admiral. The Albany also reported that she had passed an iceberg in Lt. 48 deg. 34 rain., long. 52 deg. 10 min., about 60 feet high. At 20 after 4 p.m. the Niger came on our port side, quite close, and Captain Bruce sending the crew to the rigging and manning the yards gave us three cheers which were heartily returned by the Great Eastern. She then steamed a-head towards Trinity Bay. The Albany was signalled to go on imme diately to Heart's Content, clear the N.E. side of the harbour of shipping, and place s boat with a red flag for Captain Anderson to steer to for anchorage. Just before dinner we saw on the southern horizon, distant about ten miles, an iceberg, probably the one which the Albany met with. It was apparently about 50 or 60 feet in height• The fog came on very thick about 8 p.m., and between that and 10 we were constantly exchanging guns and burn' ing blue.lights with the terrible, who, with the Niger, went in search of the Lily station-ship. The Terrible having been signalled to oome up and take her position, informed us that they had made the Lily out, and that she bore then about E.N.E., distant four miles. Later in the night Captain Commerell said that if Captain Anderson would stop the Great Eastern, he would send the surveyor, Mr. Robin son, R.N., who came out in the Niger, on board of us, and about 3 the engines were slowed, and the Terrible but very shortly afterwards came alongside with that officer. Catalina Light, at the entrance of Trinity Bay had been made out three hours before this, and the loom of the coast had also been seen. Fog still prevailing. According to Mr. Robinson's account, if they get one clear day in seven at the entrance of the bay they consider themselves fortunate. Here we are now (6 a.m.l within ten miles of Heart's Content, and we can scarcely see more than a ship's length. The Niger, however, is a-head, and her repeated guns tell us where we are with accuracy- Good fortune follows us, and scarcely has 8 o'clock arrived when the massive curtain of fog raises itself gradually from both shores of Trinity Bay, disclosing to us the entrance of Heart's Content, the Albany m►king for the harbour, the Margaretts Stevenson, surveying vessel, steaming out to meet us, the pre-arranged pathway all marked with buoys by Mr. J. H. Kerr, R.N., and a whole fleet of nailing boats, fishing at the entrance. We could now plainly see that Heart's Content' so far as its capabilities permitted, was prepared to welcome us. The British and American flags floated from the church and telegraph station and other buildings. We had dressed ship, fired a salute, and given three cheers, and Captain Commerell, of her Majesty's ship Terrible, was soon on board to congratulate us on our success. At 9 o'clock, ship's time, just as we had cut the cable and made arrangements for the Medway to lay the shore end, a message arrived giving us the concluding words of a leader in this morning's Tiltaes—" It is a great work, a glory to our age and nation, and the men who have achieved it deserve to be hollowed among the benefactors of their race. Treaty of peace signed between Prussia and Aus tria." It war now time fortheehiet engineer (Mr. Canning) to make the necessary preparations for *pliant on board the Medway ; accompanied by Mr. Gooch, DLF., Mr. Clif ford, Mr. Willoughby Smith, Nam. Temple, and Mr. Deane, went en board, tbe Terrible and Niger Laving met their paddle-box boats and cutters to- , anoint. Shortly afterwards the Great Eastern deigned into the harbour, and uuohored on the N. E. side, and was quickly surrounded by boats laden with visitors. Mr. Cyrus Field had come on shore before the Great Eastern had left the offing with a view of telegraphing to Si. John's to hire a vessel to re pair the cable unhappily broken between Cape Ray in New foundland and Cape North in Breton Island. Before a couple of hours the shore end will be landed, and it is im possible to conceive a finer day for effecting this our final operation. Even here, people can seemly realise the fact that the Atlantic Telegraph cable has been laid. To-mor row, however, Heart's Content will awaken to the fact that it is • highly favoured place in the world's esteem, the western landing place of that marvel of electric com munication with the eastern hemisphere, which is now happily, and we hope finally, established.

VON USTI& The bankrupt, who gives a long list of addresses, de scribes himself lastly as of the Victoria Hotel, Euston square, mine proprietor and mining engineer, commonly known as and using the name of Henry Von Oster only. He ascribes his failure to his great expenditure in pro curing a concession from the Imperial Russian Government 'or the establishment of an Anglo-Russian Bank in the empire of Russia, and the delay in making the same available in consequence of the financial and political diffi culties in England and on the continent. The debts, secured and unsecured, exceed 10,0001.: assets not yet ascertained, but supposed to be inconsiderable. Mr. Lewis, of My-place, appeared as solicitor to the petition. Severel proofs of debt were admitted, but the assignee was appointed, and the 26th of November, at 11, was fixed for the second sitting. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCITIT.---GUILDPOILD, AUGUST 17. (Before Mr. Justioe Willes and a Special Jury.) ACTION AGAINST AN INSURANCI COMPANY. The case of Loseby v. Price hes been heard to-day. The plaintiff formerly carried on business as • warehouseman in Wood-street, Cheapside, and he sued the defendant, who is the secretary to the Guardian Insurance Company, to recover 2,0001. upon a policy of assurance effected with that company. The defendants pleaded that the plaintiff had made • fraudulent claim upon the company, and had claimed for a much larger quantity of property than was actually de stroyed in the fire. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Telfourd Salter appeared for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Phllbrick appeared for the company. From the opening statement it appeared that the plaintiff had carried on business at 124, Wood-street, for three years as a warehouseman and fancy hosier, and he had previously carried on the same business at No. 118 in the same street, and that he had effected an assurance with the defendants to the amount of 2,000/. The pre mises were mainly used as a warehouse. The warehouse, in which no one slept, was left perfectly safe on the even ing of the 24th of February, and on the following morning plaintiff on arriving found that a fire had taken place during the night, and that the place was in the soon of the firemen and the police. A great deal of property had been burned. A claim was su bse quent) y sent in for a larger snm than the amount of the policy but the claim was resisted, and after seine negotiation h ad taken place between the legal representatives of the parties, the plain tiff was compelled to bring the present action to recover the amount for which he had insured. The policy, it ap peared,was effected on the Gth of February, 1863. The plaintiff, Mr. Amos Loseby, was examined at con siderable length, and in a rigorous cross-examination by Serjeant Ballantine, he said that he passed by the name of Jones, his assistant, at Islington, and that Jones's real name was Bearer, but he called him Jones because it was a better name for business purposes. (A laugh). He said be was quite sure that no light of any kind was left behind in his warehouse when he and Jones left on the night previous to the fire. The business had not been quite so good latterly, and he was unable to say what amount of business he was doing per annum at the time the fire happened. He did not make any return to the income tax. He was aware that there was a quantity of paper and shavings under the counter, but he was not aware that an oil and spirit lamp was also kept under the oounter. He could not say whether this lamp was placed near the paper and shavings. The plaintiff wee further cross-examined with reference to portions of the property which he represented to have been destroyed, and the prices he paid for them, and he admitted that there were some discrepancies in the value of the goods and the amount charged for them, and this was accounted for by stating that the goods as " samples" were worth • much larger sum than ordinary goods would be. In re-exami nation the plaintiff stated that the reason his trade had fallen off was owing to the disturbances in America. A great number of witnesses, among whom were several manufacturers of goods of the description sold by the plaintiff, were then examined with • view to confirm his evidence as to the quantity of goods that were in the ware house at the time of the fire, and the price that was charged for them. Some of these witnesses stated, in cross-examination, that the price charged for some of the goods was larger than the wholesale price, but not so much as they would be sold for retail. Mr. Chamber here suggested that the jury should go and see the salvage, which was in a stable close to the court, as this would enable them the better to form an estimate of its value. Serjeant Ballantine said he should ask his lordship to make an order that two witnesses who were in attendance should be allowed to see the goods. Hitherto they had not been permitted to do so. Mr. Justice Willes said that this opportunity certainly ought to be afforded to the witnesses referred to. Mr. Chambers said there would be no objection. The case for the plaintiff was then closed, it being arranged that the jury should have an opportunity of see ' in g the salvage before the trial was concluded. Serjeant Ballantine having addressed the jury for the COMplEly, Evidence was then adduced on their behalf, and the ease was proceeding when the court adjourned. THE RECENT BANK FAILURE AT BIRMINOHAN. A meeting of the shareholders of the late Birmingham Banking Company was held in the Town-hall at Birming ham yesterday, for the purpose of discussing and agreeing as to the best mode of procedure in order that a full inves tigation might be made relative to thestoppap of the above bank. The Mayor (Mr. Edwin Yates) presided. In com mencing the proceedingsf his worship said that be had had an interview with two of the uld directors, who said they concurred in the propriety of holding the meeting, and that personally they were willing to render any assistance in their power. Mr. Alderman Brinsley moved, and Mr. T. H. Morgan seconded, a resolution to the effect that a committee of shareholders be appointed with the view to secure a completk and searching inquiry into the causes which have led to the failure of the bank ; also as to the solvency of the bank when the general issue of new share, took place. This resolution was carried, and a committee appointed. In the course of the meeting the mayor read a letter he had received from Mr. James Turner, of Avenue-road, Lea mington, who was for many years one of the directors of the late company. That gentleman said, " l'retired from the board of directors in 1860, in consequence of lost health. I was then so satisfied of its solvency and power of remuneration that I have continued at frequent inter vals to add to the number of my shares, so that I and my children are heavy sufferers. The bank had before I re tired incurred an imprudent debt (through its active director) with Mr. Blackwell, but measures were adopted by lowering (dividends) to liquidate that mishap ; matters recovered, and I was satisfied, believing in the integrity of my late colleagues at the board." GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND A NNU rms.— The following additional post-offices in England, Scotland, and Ireland will be open on and after the 20th August for the receipt of proposals for the insurance of lives or the purchase of government annuities, under the act 27 and 28 Vic.. cap. 43 ; and for the receipt of the premiums, becodi ing due to the Postmaster-General, from time to time, under contracts for the insurance of lives or the purchase of government annuities, and for the pay ment of any sums which shall become payable by the Postmaster-General under the said contracts :—Cols ford, Bath ; Castelree, Ireland ; Clonal, Ireland ; Car rick on Shannon, Ireland ; Enniskillen, Ireland ; Errol (Perth), N.B. ; Forfar, N.B. ; Fortes N.B.
