BILLINGSGATE FISHING COMPANY (Limited). EXTRACT PROM PROSPECTUS. Capital, £50,000, in 100,000 shares of £5 each. Deposit, on letter of application, 10s. per shire. On allotment, £2 10s. BANKERS —lmperial Bank, Lothbury. This Company is formed for prosecuting the Trawling, D ine Fishing, and Carrying of Fish, and the Sale of Ice. It Will not be antagonistic to the present fishing establish ments, for the Directors seek to combine the interest of exist ing Smack owners of the Thames, whose business has been ` n ng and successfully conducted, into a common joint - stock e nterprise. A large fleet may be worked much more econo mically than several small ones--the take of fish by one por tion compensating for ill success on the part of others. A a rge fleet also lessens individual risks, and affords a fairer d istribution of average profits. Above all, a numerous fleet, owned by one proprietary, provides for a steady and regular supply of fish to market: one portion becoming carriers to Trest by collecting from the vessels on the fishing ground. The smack owners, whose vessels will be purchased will be , a rge shareholders in the Company, and promise the Direc tors the benefit of their long and practical experience. With such assistance, and the interest taken, and support proffered by salesmen of Billingsgate in the working of th" Company, the Directors anticipate that the shares will become a source of first-class investment, and command a premium. For prospectuses apply to the Secretary, L. Olrick, at the ° Mee, 27, Leadenhall-street, E.C. TWENTY-EIGHTH REPORT of the UNION BANK of LONDON.

ESKELL'S INVENTION (Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or uns ightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

March weather, cold, windy, rainy, and cheerless did not o tend f the yesterday Council National Rifle Association by bring ing to Wimbledon the thousands of visitors who, under more favourable circumstances, might have been expected. Still, the number was sufficient to show the interest generally felt in the proceedings. and more especially on the international match be tween England and Scotland, which commenced early in the day_ In addition to this contest there were the competition for the Duke of Cambridge's prize, the Rifle Derby, Extra Prizes 2d and 3d series, the All Comers, the Association Cup, Sweep stakes (25 per cent_ to Association), of 2s. 6d., at 200 yards ; 55., at 500 yards ; and 10s., at 600 yards ; Pool, &c. There were many noblemen and gentlemen early on the ground, and it was noticed that there was much more than the usual proportion of ladies. FRANK EASUM, Secretary. 10th July, 1862. The review will commence on Saturday at 5 pan, It is expected that upwards of 10,000 volunteers will be present, and the force will be divided into two divisions, which will manoeuvre against each other. The covered stand will accommodate a large number of spectators. It is expected that Marshal McMahon (Duke of Magenta), and many other dis tinguished foreigners now in London will avail themselves of the opportunity of judging of the merits of the British volunteers. The match between England and Scotland was originated at the meeting last year by Lord Bury and Capt. Ross, by whom, in fact, all its prelimi naries were settled and all its conditions laid down. It has been adopted as a permanent feature in the programme of all future annual meetings of the As sociation, upon the principle with regard to nation ality, that the test shall be paternal descent. Lord Elcho has intimated his intention of presenting an " Elcho Challenge Shield," and this will be the prize shot for from year to year for ever—each of the successful champions to receive a small prize, which is to be paid for by the losing side. The exact na ture of the small prize, however, is not yet deter mined upon, and the shield itself is understood to be at the present time in its first stage of manufacture. The firing was at three ranges of 800, 90), and 1,000 yards respectively; and the number of shots per man was larger than in any other contest of the meeting. Usually the number of shots has been five at each range ; in the parliamentary contest, as well as in those between the public schools and the two universities, the number was seven ; but in the present instance, in order to give a better chance of a fair average, and to shut out any probability of the final result being materially affected by acci dent, it was arranged that each of the competitors should have 15 shots at each range. Lord Bury headed the English eight, and Captain Ross the Scottish ; the former being distinguished by the red cross of St. George on the right arm, and the latter by the blue cross of St. Andrew. Of these 16 champions every one had a reputation to sustain, and each exerted himself like a really representative man, and as if he imagined the honour of his nation to rest on his individual rifle. The English eight were Lord Bury, Captain Heaton, Sergeant Rowe, Martin Smith, the Earl of Ducie, Halford, and Beasley. The Scotch eight were Captain Ross, Lieutenant Ross (his son), the Master of Lovat, Major Moir, Anderson, Fergusson, Muir, and Peter kin. There was an umpire chosen by each side, with a final reference in cases of dispute to Gen. Hay. Before the commencement of the firing there was a strong general inclination to back the Blue Cross of St. Andrew, but before it had advanced very far the Red Cross of St. George rose in favour, and long before the score was made up at 800 yards the odds were considerably in their favour. Lord Bury led the way with a splendid score on the English side, but was excelled by Captain Ross, who at 800 yards scored 52, out of 60 possible, points and hits in cluded ; and the English shooting' was good from first to last at this range, the Scotch being rather unfortunate, Mr. Fergusson more particularly, who, after carrying off the St. George's vase from nearly 100 competitors, only struck the 800 yards target twice out of 15 shots. At the conclusion of the first stage of the firing the English eight had beat their northern opponents by about 50, and increased that majority by 30 at the 900 yards range. In the course of the firing at the second range an objection was taken by Captain Ross, which, if sustained, might deprive the English of their supe riority. By rule 9 a miss shall be shown by a flag held on one side or the other, high or low, to indicate the direction in which the shot went. This was done at the Scotch target, and the objection raised was that throughout the first range the men on duty at the mantelets had actually gone up to the butts to point out the precise spot where a shot struck; and this, it was contended by Captain Ross, had given to his opponents a great advantage. The decision of Gen. Hay was that since Capt, Latour, the Scotch um pire at the English target, had made no protest when the practice was adopted, the objection came too late from Capt. Ross, and could not be sustained. Lord Elcho entirely concurred with Gen. Hay, and the shooting proceeded, with the understanding that either practice might be adopted, but that it must be the same at both targets. At the 1,000 yards range fortune declared herself still more decisively against the Scottish Lion, for so far as the shooting had proceeded when the gun fire put an end to the proceedings of the day, the English eight had increased their majority, so that Capt. Ross admitted, with the utmost possible good humour, that he and his party had got " a jolly good licking," which was strictly true. When the firing was suspended that at the 1,000 yards range was about half got through. ALL COMERS-200 YARDs.—Messrs.

The card of the day, if not equally interesting, contained as many items as its predecessors, small handicaps being the chief feature. Saccharometer, with his 71b penalty, was thought fully able to compete with 17 antagonists in the Chesterfield Stakes, and he went up the hill like a race horse, and won after one of the finest finishes ever wit neesed by a head, Messrs. Tattersall sold the remainder of the Roydon yearlings in the morning, and the business of the day com menced early; thus visitors were enabled to leave at 4 o'clock for London or for Worcester, where the Summer Meeting takes place this day.

The lot left the post nearly in a line ; the favourite, how ever, being the quickest beginner, came on with the run ning, followed en her whip hand by Tubal Cain and Fig, Baffler with Zora lying close up. On reaching the foot of the hill the favourite was headed by Tubal Cain, who in a few strides further was joined by Fig, the three finishing a close race home, Tubal Cain winning by half a length; a length separating the second and third ; Baffler was a good fourth ; Zora beaten off.

Betting opened at 6 to 4 on Oberon, and closed at 6 to 4 on Boabdil, who made the running to half-way down the hill, when he was joined by Oberon, the pair running locked together to the end, and finished with a dead heat.

After one failure, caused through the Brother to Morocco and Lady Augusta breaking away, the flag was lowered, and the lot got away nearly in a line, with the exception of the favourite, who hung slightly, and Tease Me Not, the latter being left at the post. On settling into their places The Squaw filly was the first off, followed by Lady Augusta on the lower side, Bright Cloud, Taje, and Blue Mantle ; the favourite, who was disappointed in getting through, had to go round, and came on next on the lower ground, the others lying close at his heels. Descending the hill Lady Augusta took a clear lead, leaving Blue Mantle on her whip hand, with Bright Cloud, Armagnac, Saccharometer, and Brother to Morocco following in close company, in which way they ran to half up the hill for home,lwhere;Bright Cloud was beaten, and Aldcroft seeing an opening brought up the favourite and " split" the two leaders, the three running locked together to the end, Sac charemeter, through sheer gameness, winning in the last stride by a head, Lady Augusta and Blue Mantle finishing with a dead heat ; Armagnac was a good fourth, and Bright Cloud fifth, the others who were pulling up were widely distributed, the last two being the Perfect Care and Tease Me Not.

A WORD TO OUR LANDED GENTRY. All landed proprietors cannot build knodel cottages and medi aeval schools, but all may exert an influence of a most beneficial character, with even small pecuniary means at their command. The day in which we are living is one of Peculiar difficulty as regards the dealings of classes with each other. The acknowledged tendency of all European of the poor toward s ua o towardsna pro ti gr ons es sistoth eunknown democracy, though our insular position has staved off this evil—if we may ven ture to cal l that evil ; Which 0 seams, in the order of providence , to be at l east one -- --e phases through which the nations mu st p a ss in their peared, though it i s re t a i ne d t o a cer tain extent in the the u h p e p r e e r a f t r classes— t h e has old allf eu feudal feeling d ieep. higher classes towards them.

THE IN7E.RNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The weather again frowned on the Exhibition yesterday, and raised many apprehensions for the success of the ceremonial of to-morrow. The gene ral opinion is, that if the weather be fine, the spec tacle will be very imposing, but that if it rain in the usual Exhibition style, it will require all the enthusiasm not only of the successful exhibitors, but of the public, to enable them to enjoy it. The arcades of the Horticultural Gardens provide, it is true, a shelter, but the effect will be entirely lost if the principal dramatis personee be excluded from the open. Two of the French bands which are to "assist" have already arrived, and will give the Exhibition visitors a specimen of their musical abilities to-day. The " Gendarmerie do la Garde" will play under the Eastern dome, and the " Zouaves de la Garde" under the Western, thereby dividing the crowd and preventing too great a congestion of visitors in one spot. There is no doubt that the effect will be fine, provided that the commissioners so arrange the respective orchestras as that the musicians shall have room to ply their instruments, as at present any unhappy performer who essays to amuse the company is generally half smothered by the crowd pressing round him up to the very keys of his instrument. The King of Wurtemberg has appointed Prince Herman of Saxe Weimar Eisenach as representative of the kingdom on Fri day, and has empowered him to receive the awards for the Wurtemberg exhibitors. Among the distinguished visitors yesterday were Prince Alfred, Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Earl of Macclesfield, the Marquis de Fontanelle, and Lord Walsingham. The 10s. tickets are, we learn, going off with great rapidity_ The highest temperature of the day by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometer were as follows : —ln the nave 64.6 ; in the galleries, 65.5 The observation was taken at three o'clock p.m. The following is the official return of the number of visitors yesterday :—By season tickets, 6,239; by payment, 47,179 ; total, 53,418.

After a delay of about half an hour there was a score of gentlemen assembled, and Mr. Harris was called to the chair. He stated that he was unwilling the meeting should be considered an indignation meet ing, for all they wanted was to be replaced in their original position. He had received several letters denouncing the course taken by the Royal Commis sioners from Mr. Nicholas, of Oxford-street, and Mr. Ede, of Brompton-square. A letter from the secretary to the latter gentleman justified the con duct of the commissioners on the 13th rule, which stated that after the 31st of May the cost of admis sion on four days in the week would be ls., which was no answer to the complaint. He suggested that the meeting should be adjourned for a few days that the movement might have greater pub licity. The proceedings then terminated. THE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY'S FLOWER SHOW. The Royal Botanic Society held yesterday the third and last of their great flower and fruit shows for the present season in their grounds in the Re gent's-park. The exhibition was, on the whole, a very successful one, although the elements still ob stinately refused to shed over it any of their cheer ing influence. A light south-west breeze blew fit fully throughout the day. A succession of dull clouds veiled the sky, and drops of cold rain pat- tered at frequent intervals from their dark borders. It was impossible to feel certain for a moment that the frowning aspect of the atmosphere might not end in a drenching shower, or, perhaps, in a hail or snow storm, and no one, there, felt disposed to wan• der much farther than was absolutely necessary from some friendly shelter. After all, however, the danger passed off quietly enough, and the weather, under the circumstances, held up wonderfully. But it would be hardly possible for anything to make itself more disagreeable without doing any positive mischief. It would evidently have rained if it could, but fortunately it could not ; and the large company which braved the angry atmosphere were duly re warded for their intrepidity. It was with some surprise we found the attendance of visitors upon the occasion was apparently even above the average amount. But fashion is one of the great powers of the world, and will, in spite of any accidental oppo sition, impose its law upon its votaries. A vast crowd again poured into the grounds from every avenue; they gathered in dense masses wherever anything was to be seen or heard ; and, round the spots which contained any objects of special interest or curiosity they pressed in such number s as t o make voluntary movement of any kind a very slow and troublesome process. The ladies were still in every way the leading figures in the busy scene. They were here, there, and every where, in all the imposing amplitude of tmo dern costume ; they came arrayed delicate i the nature most costly tissues and the e m o a l j o o u r r i s ty ; o a f n t d he t m he s i e r em o wn c s a t s a t t stately tu y ed fornires s —a fullest larg e as well as finest mould —bore r .nturally and becomingly the graceful and lux urious drapery in which they were enfolded. The flowers and fruits ex hibited by m i g ht almost be regarded as a su b or di - They were, however, for the t n h a e te so sh ci o e w ty . most part, as perfect in shape and hue as ever, and under the fostering skill and care of human hands, they offered hardly a trace of the unfavourable influence of the fickle skies and stinted sunshine under which they gre w into airy loveliness. The orchids and many of the ferns and greenhouse plants had apparently even found new and more congenial elements of life in our recent humid atmosphere, and many of their leaves presented a softness and a variety of colour- , • . 4 d. SPAUPED ....sd. ing which we have scarcely ever seen equalled. There were at the same time many admirable speci mens of a brighter and more glowing vegetation. There were rose=, red and white and yellow, finely tinted and of the fullest forms : there was a profu sion of azaleas and pelargoniums, delicate and nn flaunting in their varied and brilliant beauty ; and there were many as fine fuchsias as we have ever seen dropping in graceful showers their pendulous hells. The f ru it na t ura lly a ff o rded a less striking exhibition. Many fine pine-apples and peaches bore testimony to the success of purely artificial cultiva tion ; the grapes also made a fine show ; and the strawberries, as far as we could judge, had not ma terially suffered from the cold and moist season through which we have just passed. But upon this point we can pronounce no positive opinion. It is, after all, only by the taste that the value of fruit can be certainly determined, and hero we had, of course, no opportunity of subjecting it to that test. The bands of the Ist and 2d Life Guards and of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) played a variety of operatic selections throughout the afternoon. The company present upon the occasion included Prince Mustapha Pacha, the French, Portuguese, Swedish, Brazilian, Italian, and American ambas sadors, Lord and Lady Fermoy, Lady Lopez, Lady Hume Campbell, &c. CONEETSAZIONE OF THE SOCIETY OF ARTS Yesterday evening the Society of Arts held a grand conversazione at the South Kensington Museum. Between, four and five thousand persons responded to the invitations of the coqueil, the as sembly including a considerable number of the aristocracy and many persons of distinction in the arts and sciences. Among those observed were the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Lismore, Sir H. Rawlinson, Sir A. G. Cumming, Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. Alcock, M.P., Mr. J. Dillon, &c. The arrivals commenced at eight o'clock, and by 10 the principal rooms, studded with objects of artistic merit and world-wide interest, were thronged with promenaders, who, in some of the more attractive parts of the museum, pressed rather inconveniently upon each other. The inspection of the vast and varied collection was full of zest, and it was evident that for many the wonders of this western empo rium were invested with the charm of novelty. Even in close proximity to the International Exhi bition they did not appear in any degree to pale. The interest of the occasion was enhanced by a double musical performance ; one by the National Choral Society, represented in this instance by 300 voices, under the able direction of Mr. G. W. Martin; the other by Distin's Ventil Horn Union. Both were very effective, and the glees and part songs were heard with marked advantage in the spacious hall selected for their execution. Re freshments in abundance were served in the picture galleries, where the pliability of crinoline was sub jected to a severe ordeal. THE FRENCH OCCUPATION OP ROME. Yesterday morning official papers respecting the French occupation of Rome" were issued, com prising four despatches from Lord Cowley, with replies from Earl Russell, together with a despatch from Sir J. Hudson, addressed to Earl Russell. Earl Cowley, in his first communication, brought under the notice of Earl Russell an article of the Journal des Debats, in which the suggestion of a mixed gar rison at Rome, of French and Italian troops, was advocated. In his reply to Earl Cowley, Earl Rus sell says :—" With reference to your Excellency's despatch of the 14th March, I have to state to you that a mix ‘d French an.l jtnlian garritmom. at - Rome would not be convenient. It would be much better that the Italian troops should be allowed to occupy the whole of the Roman state on the left bank of the Tiber, and that the French should occupy the Vatican region of the city, Vecchia, and St. Peter's Patrimony, on the right bank of the Tiber. Were this plan adopted, as a temporary arrangement, the Pope would be protected; his dignity as a sovereign prince would be recognised; and after a time the King of Italy and the Pope would by force of circum stances be reconciled. M. Thouvenel ought not to shut his eyes to the evils of the present state of affairs. They are-1. The French government makes itself unpopular with the Italian, and especially the Ro man people. 2. No Italian government whether of Ricasoli or Ratazzi, or anyone else, can control efficiently the Mazzinians, who thereby obtain un due influence. 3. A war may spring up at any time, the vicissitudes of which may force the Em peror either to abandon his own work in Italy or to defend Italian independence at the cost of a great and sanguinary war. Great Britain, sa far from interposing any obstacle in the way of France, is desirous to co-operate with her in finding a solution for the Italian question." In a subsequent despatch, Earl Cowley reports : —" M. Thouvenel said that he feared your lord ship's plan would not be accepted by either party ; the Pope declaring that he will listen to no arrange ment which did not restore to him the possessions which he had lost, and the Italian Government re fusing to sanction any settlement which did not recognise Rome as the capital of Italy. Between the profession of two such extreme opinions no solu tion seemed possible, for France could not permit Italian troops to enter upon the territory occupied by her without the Pope's acquiescence. Besides, said M. Thouvenel, why are we to be asked to give up Rome and the patrimony of St. Peter to the King of Italy ? The utmost that can be expected of us would be the restoration of Rome to the Romans. I said that as far as her Majesty's Go vernment were concerned, I would answer for their being satisfied with such an arrangement, meaning, of course, that the Romans should be masters of their own destinies." Earl Russell replies that he never imagined the Pope would accept the plan. says) that even the liberal arrangement Vleknoovv well (he o f 1815 met with a protest from Cardinal Gonsai vi. on the sub ject of Ferrara and Comaechi°' The Pope, there fore, would not consent to anything less than the restoration of Bologna and Ancona. But this consent need not be asked more for R ome than it was for Bo lo g na. Your Excellency will re collect that as so on as the Austrian troops l e ft Bo logna, the city threw off its allegianc e t o the Pope. So it wou ld be if the French troop s were to leave Rome. With respect to the consent o f the Italian Government your Excellency will perceive that her majesty's Government propo se or suggest this plan as a temporary arrangement. If it were pro posed as a final settlement, an Italian minister would, no doubt, hesitate or refuse to agree to it. But, as a temporary arrangement, no one can be lieve that the evacuation of Rome, Velletri, and Frosinone, and the left bank of the Tiber, by the French troops would not eagerly be accepted by the Italian people. Naples would be satisfied with a government sitting at Rome ; and the charge that a Ministry at Turin were attempting to Piemon tizzarel Italy would fall to the ground." Earl Cowley, on March 28, informs the noble earl of another conversation with the French minister :—" M. Thouvenel then went into various arguments to prove, as he said, the rights which the Pope still possessed ae a temporal Sovereign, and to show that the claims put forward by the Italian Government to Rome as the capital of Italy, as also to Venetia as an Italian province, were totally unjustifiable according to the common un derstanding of international law. I do not enter into these arguments, because it was easy to con vince him that they had no Weight with the Impe rial Government when the Legations, when Um bria and the Marches, When Tuscany, an d when Naples and Sicily annexed th emse l v es to Sardinia. I merely mention them thus cursorily to your lord ship a 3 further evidence—l say it with unfeigned =st‘ 3 . CZ-7%' rr fr -.2 regret—of the little hope that is ta be entertained of modifying by discussion or remonstrance tha course which the Emperor's Government is re solved to pursue with regard to the Papal ques tion. The solution of it has been abandoned, to all outward appearance at least, to the Pope, and I see no other sure policy for Italy to pursue than to en deavour to consolidate the administration of the coun tries of which she is composed. She will thus acquire internal strength, and impose external confidence, and so be ready to take advantage of every favour able opportunity to complete her unity by showing the truth of the proverb, that in union there is force." Writing on the 2d April, Earl Russell observes : ---" M. Thouvenel no longer speaks of the difficulty of Persuading the Italian Governnient to accept of such conditions as her Majesty's Government had suggested. Nor is there any question of forcing the Pope to abandon his temporal power, and remain in Italy as the subject of another sovereign. The whole question is, whether the Pope having lost Romagna, the Marches, and Umbria, should retain the whole of the territory now occupied by France, or whether the French troops should occupy for the Pope only the patrimony of St. Peter, including the Vatican. Setting aside all difference between a protestant and Roman Catholic sovereign, it is manifest that the principle thus upheld is at variance with the principles maintained everywhere else by France as well as by Great Britain. Rome is foreign terri tory ; the Romans are to have nothing, and foreign troops everything, to say to the form of its govern ment. This system can hardly be of long duration, it is too directly opposed to the maxims of inter national law and the wishes of the Italian people. I do not, however, wish your Excellency to enter into any polemics on this question. But, on the other hand, the French Government must not make it a reproach to the Government of Italy that the southern provinces are not in a state of tranquillity-, while the French flag protects the Pope in mairl taining a sanctuary where every chief of brigrnds can find a refuge, and prepare his band for future incursions on peaceful provinces. You are not to read this despatch to M. Thouvenel, but you may state to him the subject of it." The despatch of Sir J. Hudson, dated May 8, gives a most favourable picture of the static of affairs at Ancona and other Italian towns and cities_ " The aspect of the towns in the Marches and Umbria," he says, "is that of cities awakened to new life." The country from Ancona to the Papal frontier is anxiously expecting the comple tion of the railways which are already commenced. " At the Tiber the scene changes, and we enter also upon the desert. The contrast between the fertile garden of the Marches and Umbria, studded with substantial farms and well-kept country houses, and the desolate Campagna was striking—between the bustle and vigorous life of their towns and the solemn measured tread of Rome. It is clear that the reason for their secession was the inability or un willingness of Rome to keep pace with their pro gress ; they have outstripped her, and left her far in the rear. Rome may join them ; they never will return to Rome voluntarily." -- f7‘'/ - MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. The Southampton borough magistrates were en gaged on Tuesday in the investigation of a charge against John Colvin steward of th e b ar k P as i thea, of Liverpool, for the murder of Thomas Williams, captain of the said vessel. The Pasithea was on a voyage from Liverpool for California, with a gene ral cargo, and the alleged murder was committed on Easter Sunday, the 20th of April, when the ship was about 300 miles north-east of the Cape Verd. Immediately afterwards Colvin was put in irons by the mate, and on her arrival at Pernambuco a naval court was held, and the prisoner and witnesses were sent home by the consul at that port, arriving at Southampton last Friday in the mail steamship Parana. The witnesses examined on Tuesday in support of the charge were Benjamin Robert Bishop, the mate of the Pasithea ; John Harris, apprentice; James Martindale, carpenter; and Magnus Linklater, able seaman. It appeared, from the evidence of these witnesses, that the captain and officers were at dinner in the saloon about half-past one o'clock on the day in question, and the steward, who had been waiting nn them, was in thc., vxxx‘x),, `nas filln/It n_„ 12 feet off. Hearing a pl ate f all in the pantry, the . captain left the table, went into the pantry, and closed the door after him. A scuffle was then heard in the pantry, as if one person was shaking another, and the steward was heard to say, " What do you mean, Captain Williams ?" The captain said, " I'll shake you ; you don't care how you destroy my property;" and in a few seconds he called out, " Mr. Bishop, come here, he's killing me ; he's stab bing me." On the mate getting the pantry door open he found the captain leaning against it, bleed ing very much from the stomach, and the steward had a long tableknife in his hand, the handle and blade of which were covered with blood. This knife had just previously been seen lying on some dessert plates in the pantry. The steward at once said, "I will give myself up in your charge," and was placed in irons. The mate supported Captain Williams to his cabin, and laid him on a sofa, when it was found that he had been stabbed on the right side of his stomach, the wound being about three inches long, and the bowels were protruding. While the mate was bandaging the wound the captain re marked that he did not think it was mortal, which was all he said, and in a few minutes he became unconscious, and died about half-an-hour after he was stabbed. At the prisoner's request the mate subsequently examined his hand, when he saw that his right hand was cut in two places, the wounds being such as a man would get by laying the blade of a knife, and there was also a of th was no blood.

The captain then got up and I also. He stood with his back against the door, and I stayed and held the knife, when the door opened. Mr. Bishop made his appearance, and hauled the captain out, but did not come inside the pantry. I received one cut across the palm of the hand, one between the forefinger and thumb, one across the four fingers, and one stab at the back part of the head. I have got nothing more to say now, but leave myself in the hands of the law and to the pro tection of God." The prisoner was then fully com mitted to take his trial for the capital offence at the Hampshire Assizes, which will be held at Win chester next week.

On his removal to a railway carriage, one of the crowd made a sudden grasp at him, naught him by th'o ear, and gave it a violent wrench, but he was at once inter fered with by the police.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S " GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES." 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. Purity of motive. Intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully examined in J. Grossraith's "Government upon First Prin ciples."
