This Company has been formed for the purpose of erect ing an Hotel on a scale of comfort and magnificence hitherto unattained in London, on the grounds now known as Mansfield House and Gardens, Langham-place. The area of the estate measures 180 feet in depth, and 333 feet frontage, commanding from the south (Regent street) end of Portland-place an uninterrupted view to the Regent's Park. The site is altogether unsurpassed. The Hotel will stand in the midst of the leading thoroughfares, surrounded by embassies, and in immediate connection, through the Metropolitan Railway Station in Portland-place, with the Great Northern, the London and North-Western, the Great Western, and the Midland lines. The land is unencumbered, and the conditions of the lease are in the highest degree advantageous. Ground plans of the site for the proposed Hotel may be seen at the office of the Secretary, who will be happy to afford every information, and with a view to ensure the best design for the building, several architects of eminence have been requested to furnish plans and elevations, the most desirable of which will be selected by the Board of Directors.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi ness has now become the grim torture.

" Salem Chapel" still progresses with unabated interest, and if the climax in the last chapter is somewhat melodramatic, it is at least contrived with consummate skill. Indeed, we have rarely met with anything in fiction more effective than the contrast between the seemingly successful efforts made by the minister's mother to conceal from the Salem congregation the nature of her son's journey, and their utter overthrow by the sudden arrival of her daughter. In " A Skye-Lark" we have an account of the scenery and natural history of that island— chiefly associated in the mind of the " Southron" with hairy terriers. The tenth part of" Caxtoniana" treats " On the Moral Effect of Writers," and con tains some pertinent comments on Goethe's well known criticism on Hamlet in " Wilhelm Meister." " The dogmas conveyed in this criticism," says the writer, " are neither historically nor physiologi cally correct. If, as Wilhelm Meister had just before asserted, Hamlet must be fair-haired and blue eyed—as a Dane, as a Northman,' certainly, of all the population on the earth, the Dane, the Northman, has ever been the least characterised by wavering melancholy,' or 'soft lamenting.' The old Scandinavian vikings did not yield to any dark haired warriors in decision and impetuosity.' To this day, those districts in England wherein the old Danish race left their descendants—where the blue eye and light sandy hair are most frequently seen—as in the Scottish lowlands, the northern border counties, in Lincolnshire, or in Norfolk (those provinces in which Palgrave proves the wholesale settlement of the Danes), the superior activity, the practical longheadedness, the ready adaptation of shrewd wit to immediate circum stance—in short, all the attributes most opposed to the character of Hamlet, are proverbially evi denced. Nor is it true that the fair-haired children of the north are more inclined in youth to be plump than the dark-haired in habitants of the same climates. The York- . shireman and the Lowlander are generally high cheek-boned and lean." A discriminative review of " Victor Hugo's last Romance" follows. " The Rights of Women" are discussed, and the remain ing articles touch on " Sermons," " Across the Channel," and " Ten years of Imperialism."

"Speak ing of the dinner table," says the writer, " the hour for dining then was four o'clock, and at that hour the drum beat up roast beef at the quarters of the soldiery. That was then the hour even in the dash ing cavalry regiments. In town it enabled the higher class company to attend the theatres, which is now impracticable. In those days the histrionic art flourished. I well remember George Frederick Cooke as Richard the Third, the only actor that ever performed the character to my taste. Kean, great only by bursts, never looked the crookbacked King; it was impossible to get over his smallness of person. Cooke, with his hooked nose and well developed frame, looked the part to admiration. He lost himself from his habit of drinking. H e was the only actor an audience ever excused for ex hibiting that vice on the stage, but his wonderful power in comedy as well as tragedy obtained him forgiveness. We once saw him stagger off the stage and fall just within the eurtain." "The House by the Churchyard" and ': Mildrington the Barrister," are still in progress. Macmillan. The part of the present number which will create special interest is the commencement of the Rev. Professor Kingslet's new tale, which appears under the whimsical title of--" The Water Babies : a Fairy Tale for a Land Baby." The " Laid-baby," who is the hero of the tale, stands very much in need of water, for he is, as the first ch a pt er , b eg i nn i ng "O tu4 a 'little chimney sweep,nce upon a time ," i aadhianam e wnasfor Tom." rae His master also, whose suggestive name is Grimes, has no great love for od thesdehis head into a a pu sp re ri fi ng uid a , f f t o e r r , on in a d d e ip b p aucgh, his astonished a pp ren tice exclaming, " Why, ma s t er , I never saw roadside you do that before," he replies, "Nor will again most likely. 'Twarn't for cleanliness I did it, but for coolness. I'd be ashamed to want washing every week or so, like any smutty collier-lad." We infer, then, that the moral of the tale will be the beauty of cleanliness—a moral the propriety of which it is impossible to gainsay. The articles "by our special correspondent in America," of which the present treats of " The New England States," are amusing, not only from the information they convey, but from the undisguised Northern " proclivities" of the writer. To him the demo cratic republican form of Government, the sweet fruits of which the Americans are now enjoying, is perfection. He says, "It may seem strange to Eng lish critics, who are wont to assume as a self-evi dent axiom that America is a hateful country, and that the system of American government is repul sive to every educated and refined mind, to discover, as they would by a short residence here, that men of genius and men of letters—men whose names are known and honoured wherever the English lan guage is read—feel as proud of their own country, and as proud of their own institutions, as if they had been Englishmen." Well, there is no account ing for taste, and if " men of genius" are fond of King Mob, and choose to bow their necks to his yoke, it is not for us to complain. We are also told that " All over America, and, above all, in New England, literary fame and the reputation of learning are honoured to a degree we can hardly appreciate at home; and, therefore, the literary mind represents the native mind more closely than would seem probable to us." Strange ! we always thought that the almighty dollar ruled the land, and that the representative of the " national mind " was Barnum. But travellers see strange sights, tell strange tales, and " our special correspondent" presumes upon his privilege. TEA.

In the " Illustrations of the Maori cha racter during the War in New Zealand," by Colonel Sir J. E. Alexander, we find a nigh tribute paid to the courage, endurance, and military skill of those savages ; though the difficulty was to persuade them to spare the wounded and prisoners. The aim, in war, they thought, was to destroy the enemy. " What do you suppose we are going to Taranaki for ?" they replied. Do you suppose we are going to save men's lives ? We ask for no quarter ourselves, we give none. We only give what we ask." Under the head of " Lobs eouse," we find a graphic description of a floating island on fire in the Indian Ocean. And the writer of " Macaulay on Marlborough" is rather severe on the great historian. Thus—" It may seem too epi grammatic to say so, but it is in our judgment strictly true to assert that the late Lord Macaulay's history exhibits a combination and exaggeration of the peculiarities of all his preceding works. It is as full of political prejudice and of partisan advocacy as any of his parliamentary speeches ; it makes many of the facts of English history as fabulous as his Lays do those of Roman tradition, and it is written with as captious, as dogmatic, and as cynical a spirit as the bitteres t of his reviews."

K. 8., " Concerning Disagreeable People," will be found readable ; and he gives the palm for unpleasantness to professors of religion. He says, " I have beheld more deliberate malice, more lying and cheating, more backbiting and slandering, denser stupidity, and greater self-suffi ciency among bad-hearted religionists, than among any other order of human beings. I have known more malignity and slander conveyed in the form of a prayer, than should have consigned any ordi nary libeller to the pillory. I have known a person who made evening prayer a means of infuriating and stabbing the servants, under the pretext of con fessing their sins. ' Thou knowest, Lord, how my servants have been occupied this day;' with these words did the blasphemous mockery of prayer begin one Sunday evening in a house I could easily indicate; and then the man, under the pre text of addressing the Almighty, raked up all the misdoings of the servants, (they being present of course) in a fashion which, if he had ventured on it at any other time, would probably have led some of them to assault him. went to Edinburgh,' said a Highland elder, and was there a Sabbath.

The defence was maintained by the sth Fusiliers and the other regiments ofthe • line, who were to have been strengthened by the London con tingent, but they, like Grouchy at Waterloo, were between Ascot t.attacke r ffi y c o e f r a s t t and h o td e f not up to time. The London Scottish and the St. George's got up when the fight was at the hottest, and fired some volleys, the close regular sound of which was much appreciated by those on the Grand Stand. The regular cavalry distinguished them selves, although the ground was not adapted for frequent charges, and after a few more evolutions the proceedings of the field day germinated, and ar , rangements were commenced for that only sure card at volunteer field days, the final " march past." The people on the Grand Stand now at last began to understand, to admire, and to applaud. At first their attention was attracted by the Lancers in front, who were clearing the ground, and who effected quite a series of brilliant charges against solitary little boys who would run across the course, and "dodged" the mounted dragoon in the most daring and reckless manner. Sometimes two or three soldiers would close round the juvenile gue rilla, but the latter, nothing daunted, would duck in and out under the horses' bellies, and break out in a fresh place, perfectly secure that his enemy, however he might frighten, would never think seriously of hurting him. The crowd shouted and applauded, and, after an exciting passage of arms, the guerilla would be driven to the rails, which he would clear with a bound, and by several sugges tive gestures would then intimate his opinio n th at a mounted dragoon was not after all so very dre a df u l this the trumpet sounded, and an opponent. After General Pennefather and his staff were seen to take their places in front of the grand stand. A cloud of dust was seen to rise on the left side of the stand, which gradually approached, and from its centre emerged one of the finest bodies of cavalry in the world—the Royal Horse Artillery. Like so many mailed statues, these perfectly disciplined soldiers took their places in a double line at the entrance of the course, and there waited until by slow degrees the whole advancing column was formed. Close behind the Horse Artillery the Hussars and Lancers fell in, after them the regi ments of the line, and finally the volunteers, as fast as they could be pulled together. A considerable delay occurred in the muster, through waiting for the City of London, the North Middlesex, and the Queen's 'Westminster, none of which corps arrived until the evolutions of the field day had terminated. At last the bugles sounded the advance, and it would be impossible to imagine anything finer than the march of the regulars. The Royal Horse Artillery were cheered to the echo, and the Hussars and Lancers became equally popular favourites ; but the climax of the public approbation was reserved for the line regiments, whose marching was abso lute perfection. Without saying anything invidious of our citizen soldiers who followed. we must ex press our opinion that nothing could more lead to the making of their discipline perfect than their being as often as possible set thus to act with re gular troops, in order that the' narching and whole department of the latter should serve as a standard by which they might be able to measure and to per fect their own proficiency. There were numbers of Volunteers on the stand, and nobody seemed to be more struck with the difference between regular and volunteer marching, although the latter was perhaps better than any other volunteer marching in the world. The volunteers, like tree English men, are of course, anxious that everything they undertake to do should be done as well as possible, and they cannot take a better means of improving than by endeavouring to emulate the regulars as strenuously as possible. Some corps, such as the London Scottish and the Queen's, marched toler.. ably well, but, as a general rule, the marching was not first rate, and certainly suffered considerably from comparison with that of the regular troops which headed the column. The proceedings finished with a gallop by the cavalry, and a complimentary farewell from the General of the day. already aware of the existence of the encampment —how the volunteers of Berkshire, being manfully determined to see what the " tented field " was really like, had collected on Ascot Heath, and established their canvas city according to the strictest rules of military discipline. The heath was speckled with boll tents, warranted to carry ten inside, but sometimes these were rather inconveniently crowded in consequence of the mysterious anxiety of stout men to don the volunteer uniform. The gallant civilians had, however, come to the ground firmly determined to " rough it " and this, as well as other minor incon veniences, was submitted to not only without grumbling, but with the greatest hilarity and good humour, just as if the whole affair had been a grand military picnic, and that the usual deficien cies of a picnic were to be accepted as legitimate features in the entertainment. The week had been exhausted in playing through the whole drama of camp life, happily, however, without the terrible " blue fire" of real war, in which the drama of real warfare too frequently culminates. The Volunteers formed their camp, and guarded it in true military fashion. Never was unhappy stranger accosted with " ho goes there P" by more ferocious sentry than during the past week at Ascot-heath. There was gun-fire morning and evening, parade ditto ditto, daily shooting match, and at night the joys of the bivouac, the song, the pipe, and the can, after the most glowing pictures in the manner of " Harry Lorrequer." Happily the part of the heath selected for the encampment was dry and the weather over head delightful, so that the doctor's weekly " state" , is exceedingly f ree f rom " rheumatic affections.' The men took to their work honestly and faithfully, never shirking either a turn-out or a parade, always prompt to answer to the bugle, and steadyintheir attendance at the canteen, w h ere beer and approved military refresh men t s were served otheront exactly the same as at Aldersh o t or t h e Curra h It was a capital idea this Vol un t eer encampment, and it was honestly carried out. We trust it will be the precursor of many others, and that the rest of our Volunteer corps will emulate the stout men of Berkshire, and, not contented with " the pride, pomp, and circumstance," will also be ready, like them, to submit to some of the actual hardships of military life. The week up to Friday inclusive had been occu pied with shooting matches, diversified with "pool" and " Aunt Sally," and on Friday evening there was a volunteer ball, at which we regret to learn the waltzes were much inconvenienced by the sharp gradients of the flooring of the salon de danse, and at which a much more serious cause of regret was that no private volunteer was present except by " special invitation." This was an exclusiveness which cannot be too strongly censured,, as per fect social equality is the very basis and keystone of the volunteer movement, and without it the respectable young men of the country will fall away, and the ranks will be filled with subsidised men who would have been much better absorbed by the regular army or militia. On the parade ground a gentleman who may be a private will know with out being told the duties of respect and obedience ; but when he finds the distinctions of rank carried into the social intercourse of private life, he will hardly like to continue in a force where his per sonal status is to be the sacrifice for the pleasure of wearing a volunteer uniform. It is a singular but incontrovertible fact that, whereas in the regular army the distance between the commissioned and non-commissioned ranks is being lessened every day, when officers attend the men's balls and merrymakings, and bring their ladies with them, when they join in the cricket matches and football, and, in fact, show their sympathy and military bro therhood in every way that is consistent with the discipline of the service and the Queen's regula tions amongst the volunteers, on the other hand, an affectation of exclusiveness on the part of the offi cers becomes daily more perceptible. The broadest possible line is drawn between them and the men, who are all theoretically, and nearly all practically, quite as " good" as themselves, and in cases of halls, concerts, &c., the latter are much too often snubbed and excluded. The volunteer officers enjoy all the popularity which the efficiency and zeal of the men has obtained. The men, in fact, do all the work and earn all the praise, and the officers mo nopolise all the fun, and honours, and the public applause. On Saturday morning the men in green and grey commenced striking their tents in the heath, and the men in scarlet came from Aldershott and pitched theirs in the immediate vicinity. The per manent volunteer force consisted of the Berkshire corps, assisted by, we believe, one or two metropoli tan and provincial corps, and the regular force in cluded two battalions of Horse Artillery, the 13th Hussars, the 9th Lancers, and the sth (Fusiliers), 26th (Cameronians), and the 20th Regiments of the Line. The regular forces therefore must have amounted to between 3,000 and 4,000 men, horse, foot, and artillery, being the largest amount of regulars that had yet appeared at a volunteer parade. The original intention was, we believe, that the volunteers should have been pitted against the regulars, but there was something wrong in the preliminary arrangements of the former which prevented the arrival of more than one half of the corps until the field evolutions had nearly ter minated. Many of the best metropolitan corps were absent altogether, and of those that did come not one half the men answered to the roll. Blame is cast on every one, especially the South Western Railway Company, for the defection, but we really can not see that 3s. for officers and 2s. for men was a very extravagant charge for 58 miles, especially a s the company had to borrow extra carriages and put on treble the force of men to meet the extraordinary demand. As to the service, we believe that the volunteers were taken down as fast as they arriv e d on the platform, and in the train in Which we travelled ourselves a whole corp w ithin about four minutes o f the time thatWasshipped did not k th • band was heard playin g th em their road. If the expected corps up the waterloo the railway station, the com pany was not to blame, eep tryst at and from all we could observe made by the South Western every every exertion was get the men to the ground a Company's officers to There may he jealous' sas speedily as possible. the metropolitan jealousies and differences amongst cor ps, Whichcooled the zeal of some of those who v i turday, and it on Sa y, expected at Ascot - should be ascertained whether such was actually the f neglect or case, before sent ence 0 extortion is too hastily passed on the railway com pany or their officers. However, let the blame be where it may, the fact Was that the Volunteer muster was considerably short of what had been expected, and many of the corps who did come were too late to take part in the evolutions. The first business of the day took place at 3 o'clock, when General Pennzfather de livered, in front of the Grand Stand, the prizes which had been won during the wee k , and imme diately after the forces were mustered preparatory to the e volutions, In order t o witness these the public had in very considerable numbers taken in the Grand Stand, P laces but after they had been comfortably seated,and had - all got their field.glasse s to the proper focus, they were disagreeably sur prised to see the whole army march off to the un known bog behind, leaving the race-course and the encampment deserted, compassionately by one military band which had been. left to console Consultations free.

The directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, which will absorb £18,047, and leave a sum of £3,000 to be carried to the reserved fund and £397 to the next account. This is the same rato of dividend as was declared for the corresponding half-years of 1860 and 1861. NORTH-EASTERN. The Harrogate loop line of this company was opened for passenger traffic on Friday. Although the event is one of great importance to Harrogate, there was no public ceremonial on the occasion. The loop line unites the Church Fenton branch with the Leeds northern line, near the great Crimple viaduct, from which trains pass by an easy gradient over the former line, which is now extended across the Stray and between the towns of Low and High Harrogate. From Harrogate the line curves to the north, and again falls into the Leeds Northern near Bilton ; but there is also a spur southward toward Starbeck for the accommodation of the York, INlalton, and coast traffic via Knares borough. Harrogate is, by means of this new line of about four-and-a-half miles long, placed upon the main line, and the two miles of omnibus transit from Starbeck thus rendered unnecessary. The new station at Harrogate is handsome and commo dious, but at present High Harrogate has no direct access to it. The works have been executed by Mr. M'Cormick in less than two years. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The directors of the company on Friday inspected the works on the section of their Metropolitan Ex tensions from the junction at Battersea to Brixton and Herne-hill. A special train conveyed the direc tors and their friends from the Victoria-station over the new line to the Herne-hill-station. The sta tions and works up to th e l a tt er pl ace are in a for ward state, andin every respect of the most sub stantial description. It was stated that this por tion of the line would be ready for traffic in about two weeks from the present time. From the Herne hill station another section forks off towards Cam berwell, the Elephant and Castle, and Blackfriars. The works on this section between the Herne-hill station and the Elephant and Castle are also in a forward state, and it is expected th at i n the course of three or four weeks it will be opened for traffic. Messrs. Peto, Betts, and C ra mpton are th e contrac tors. There is also a circular junction Dile in course of construction for cuttin g o ff the ang l e formed by these tw o sect ions, and a t th e same t i me uniting with them at certain points for facilitating the conveyance of traffic between the City Exten sion at Blackfriars and the Victoria-station at Pimlico. ST. HELENS. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at Liverpool; Mr. Greenall in the chair. The report stated that the gross revenue for the halflear amounted to £ 52 ,080, an d the expenses, including renewals, to £21,029, leaving a surplus of £31,054. From this was deducted £7,448 for inte rest on loans, leaving £23,602, to which was added account, making £23,732 £l3O from the p recedin g available for the various dividends, being at the ra te of 3 per cent. per annum o n t h e A or ord i nary stock, at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum on the an d shares of 18 60, at 41, per cent.

Several other toasts were given and responded to, and special trains conveyed the shareholders home in the evening. 7IIE NAVY. The recently launched frigate the Prince Consort, 51 guns, is undergoing the process of armour-plat ing in the dry dock at Pembroke. Some of the slabs have been forwarded from Rotherham, and they are prepared for the vessel on the spot. The dock in which this fine ship lies is one of the most capacious we possess. It will admit the warrior with ease when that vessel cannot enter other docks. The paddle wheel steamer Terrible, 22, 800 horse power, attached to the Chatham steam reserve, is undergoing some very extensive repairs, which, owing to her serious defects, will be a considerable time on hand. Her main paddle shaft, being very defective, is to be replaced by a spare one of the Retribution, 28, 400 horse power, now in store. The customary holiday to the workmen and other persons employed at Chatham dockyard, on the oc casion of the annual visit of the Lords of the Ad miralty, will take place this afternoon, when the whole of the establishments will be closed_ Orders were on Saturday received at Chatham directing the target ordered to be built at that dock yard to be constructed of iron plates, with a backing of oak and teak, on the plan of the Warrior. The target is intended to be used at Shoeburyness dur ing the approaching trial of the new description of Armstrong gun. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Capt. Arthur Farquhar to the Hogue, vice Capt.

The 3d battalion Grenadier Guards, under the command of Col. Curzon, are to leave their encamp ment on Cove-common, Aldershott, to morrow (Tuesday), and return to Wellington Barracks. The battalion has been under canvas a month. They are to be replaced at Cove-common by the Ist bat talion Grenadier Guards, who are to leave Welling ton Barracks at the time of the Grenadiers leaving Aldershott. The strength of the depots stationed at the camp at Colchester has been considerably reducer during the past month by the draughts which have left for service in the East. Ensign Marvin, of the 2d battalion 6th Foot, has proceeded to Landguard Fort, Harwich, to perform there the duties of Adjt. and Quartermaster. In consequence of the difficulty experienced by volunteer corps in obtaining a sufficient number of se rgeant-instructors, the Secretary of State for Vtrar has decided upon extending the provisions of the Volunteer Circular of Aug. 22,1861, by the employ ment of a second class of instructors. A War-office circular has according been received at Chatham, defining the rules and regulations under which the n ew volunteer instructors will be appointed. The q ualifications required for second-class sergeant instructors for rifle volunteer corps are as follows : _Service in the Imperial or Indian army or embo died militia; a competent knowledge of infantry drill, to be ascertained from the report of an officer appointed by the Secretary of State to institute a practical examination ; a good character, established by satisfactory testimonials. A second-class ser geant-instructor will receive consolidated pay at the rate of ls. 4d. per day. A second-class instructor will be permitted, with the sanction of the com manding officers, to work at a trade, or follow any other occupation approved by the Secretary of State, within a radius of one mile from the head-quarters of the corps, on the express understanding that he is at all times available for the public service, and that the trade or occupation is not to interfere in any way with the duties he is liable to perform under article 167 A of the regulations.
