The appellant was restrained by injunction, by Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart, from taking proceedings at law in an action between the said parties, and the question raised is, whether the soli• citor attending an adjourned summons at Chambers, before Mr. Baron Martin, is a breach of the injunction and liable to be committed to prison for contempt of court. The appeal was dismissed with costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.) JUDGMENT.-KNIGHT V. CLARK. Plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of an agree ment for a lease of his mining lands to the defendant. By the 31th section of the agreement it was provided that if the plaintiff let his mining lands to another, and if tram. roads or railroads were made thereon, the defendant should have the privilege of using the same for the carriage of his ore from his mine. The plaintiff let his lands to others, and they projected two lines of railway to two seaports at Cardiff. The defendant, on the part of the Dowling Iron Mining Company, claimed the privilege of carriage of iron ore from his mine on these railways at a reduced scale of charges, and insisted that the terms thereof should be inserted in his lease. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor decreed specific per formance of the agreement—the lease in terms thereof to be prepared at chambers, without prejudice to the parties settling in a court of law, the terms of agreement as the events occur, and found the defendant liable in costs. HEAD V. DOODLER. The question involved arises out of the will of a gentle man, of the name of Thomas Woodroffe Smith, dated the 2d of August, 1807 (there being several codicils and another will executed relating to personal estate only), under which very large real property was disposed of ; and the personal estate, also very considerable, after payment of legacies, was directed to be invested in the purchase of land, to be settled to the same uses as the estates that wore devised by the first will. Those estates were devised so as to give the legal estate to trustees in fee with a direction to settle them in moieties on the testator's daughters Ann and Maria for their lives, with remainders to their respective children in tail with cross remainders. Tho will was very complicated, and involved so many difficulties, that the trustees, a year after the testator's death, which took place May 3, 1811, filed a bill praying that the estate of the tes tator might be administered under the direction of the Court of Chancery. Although several branches of this suit are described under different heads, the case is well known under the original one of " Home v. Barton." The Court upon the hearing directed a reference to the Master to con sider what would be a proper deed of settlement under the will, and the most eminent conveyancers of the day were consulted as to the limitations which should be contained in it. Ultimately a deed of settlement of the 18th of August, 1815, was sanctioned by the Court. This deed was impeached during a long course of litigation by the present plaintiff and a Mr. Reynolds, and ulti mately petitions of appeal and for rehearing of the cause of " Horne v. Barton," were presented, and came on for hearing before the Lords Justices. The substantial question was whether or not Mr. Head in his appeal, which related to all the property, and Mr. Reynolds in his appeal, which relates only to a portion of it—but which it was ad mitted must stand or fall on the same question—had made out a case to have the orders annulled, the case reheard, and the matter set right from the beginning. The Lords Justices decided not to disturb the orders previously made, or the settlements made under them, but gave the parties liberty to file an independent suit for rho purpose of esta blishing their sights, end, if they should succed, intimated that the right of appeal and rehearing might be entertained. This state of things led to the institution of the present suit; and the plaintiff now prayed that the orders and proceed ing in the cause of " Horne v. Barton" and the indenture of settlement of the 18th of July, 181.5, might be declared inoperative to bind the beneficial interest in the ultimate reversion of the testator's estates, to which the testator's daughters, Ann and Maria, expetant on the decease of the survivor and the failure of their issue, were entitled, or (if necessary) that it might be declared that the circumstances that had occurred since the date of the said orders, on the death of the said Maria Head without issue, having sur vived her sister Ann, who also died without issue, the plaintiff became entitled to the entirety of the freehold and copyhold estates devised by the will of Thomas Woodroffe Smith, and of the estates which, in pursuance of of the di rections contained in his will, had been purchased with any part of his personal estate, and to the entirety of the personal estate of the testator which had been invested in the purchase of land, the indenture referred to not having precluded the plaintiff from insisting on such right to the real estate of the testator, as he would have been entitled to if the orders had not been made and the indenture exe cuted, and also (if necessary) that the plaintiff might be allowed to present a petition to rehear the said orders. The arguments were proceeding when the Court arose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Whiteman, Hill, and Blackburn.) LORD BROUGHAM V. ATKINSON. Sir F. Kelly, this morning, made an application to the court for a rule calling upon Mr. Atkinson, the proprietor of the " Westmorland Gazette and Kendal Advertiser," to show cause why &criminal information should not be filed against him for printing and publishing a libel inhis paper reflecting upon the noble and learned lord's character, imputing to him the exercise of undue influence in relation to certain charitable property. From the speech of the learned gen tleman, it appeared that in 16.51 certain lands were set apart by some parties for the relief of the poor widows in Appleby, and as time proceeded a relation of the noble lord's became possessed of certain landed property in its immediate vicinity. The relatives of the noble lord and the trustees of the charitable property, wishing to make an exchange of a certain part of each other's land, entered into a negotiation for • that purpose. The exchange having been effected, a letter appeared in the West moreland Gazette, which almost attributed corrupt practices to tke noble and learned lord during the time the exchange was being effected. A second attack was made on the noble lord in the same paper a short time after he delivered his late speech at Bradford, in which it was asserted that the noble lord had broken the Tenth Commandment. The Court granted a rule upon both points. TILE QUEEN V. MARSHALL AND OTHERS. - ILLEGAL SELLING OP ARMY COMMISSIONS. Mr. Edwin James, this morning, moved for the judgment of the court upon the persons Marshall, Mortimer, and Eicke, who had been found guilty of illegally disposing of a commission in her Majesty's army. It will be recollected from the lengthy reports of the trawaction which appeared in The Sun, that a gentleman of the name of Brydson, being anxious to obtain a com mission for a young gentleman named Conyngham, was induced to write to one of the defendants at his offices in Piccadilly, where the business of an army agency was car ied on under the name of "Armstrong and Co." The price agreed upon for the commission by Mr. Brydson was £4OO. After some time the commission was obtained, and Mr. Conyngham entered the army, but very shortly after it was discovered the commission had been obtained from the War Department without purchase, and illegally sold by the defendants to Mr. Brydson. - Mr. M. Chambers appeared for Marshall in arrest of judgment, and contended that his conduet in the transac tion had been devoid of anything that could be considered fraudulent. The learned gentleman was proceeding with arguments when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE INGIIAM.-ALLEGED FALSIFICATION OF ACCOUNTS. this bankrupt was described as of Oxford-street, grocer, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate, which had been adjourned in consequence of criminal pro ceedings having been instituted against the bankrupt on a charge of falsifying his accounts, but the question stands over for the decision of the Court above, on appeal, as to whether the offence proved comes within the operation of the bankrupt law. A further adjournment was, therefore, taken by consent. IN RE ciIOGGIN AND VEALE. These bankrupts were described as of London-wall mantle manufacturers, and this was a meeting for the last examination. Joint and several balance-sheets had been f lea by Messrs Hart Brothers, the accountants to the estate, but the assig nees required time to investigate thorn, and an adjourn. ment was taken by consent. SHERIFFS' COURT. ----- _ IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY COMPANIES —TUE LONnON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY V. DILLMSTT. This was an action to recaver rent, carriage, and demur rage of some goods consigned by defendant to some station on the company's line, for third parties. Mr. Charnock, of King William-street, for defendant, pleaded that by plaintiffs' negligence the goods were da maged, and sold at a loss, in consequence of not being properly stored; and that plaintiffs should not have deli vered up the goods to the consignee without the carriage being paid. Mr. Cross, for the plaintiffs, contended that they are not bound to warehouse, and that the consignor was always responsible for the carriage. His Honour was of opinion that the carriage must be paid. As to the warehousing, that was a point upon which he would reserve his judgment. An action might lie against the company in damages for neglect, and as there was con siderable force in Mr. Charnock's argument, he would take the papers to Chambers, and deliver his decision on a future def. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OE CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Jas. Henry, an old man, was charged before Mr. Bingham, with cut ting the face of a young man named George Shaddock, re siding in Drury-lane. It appears that the prosecutor saw a young woman home to the house where she lived, in a court in Crown-street, Soho, and in which the prisoner also resided, and some altercation taking place the prisoner struck the prosecutor a blow in the face, causing the blood to flow freely, and compelling him to seek surgical assistance at the Middlesex Hospital. _ _ A young woman was called, but she was unable to state distinctly whether prisoner had anything in his hand at the time he gave the blow, but believed he had. In his defence the prisoner tried to show that he was very much annoyed by the young women in the house coming home at a late hour, and bringing young men with her, disturbing him, but his landlord stepped into the witness-box and said the prisoner was so troublesome that all the lodgers in the house would leave if he did not, and the prisoner's son had also threatened to put a knife into his stomach. Mr. Bingham said he should remand the prisoner for a week to see the result of the wound the prosecutor had re- ceived. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Cock.

LIVERPOOL CUP. 4to 1 agst Meg Merrilies (taken) 6to 1 agst Julia (taken) 12 to 1 agst Winkfield (taken) TEE AMERICANS IN PEKIN. We have been favoured with the following very interesting letters, describing the progress of the United States' mission to Pekin. It is important to ob3erve how strongly they insist upon the neces sity of reparation being exacted for the late out rage on the Peiho PEKIN, AUG. 10. We have reached this capital of the East, and are about to depart from it, after long delays and many vicissitudes. Nor can we sum the results of our tour in the triumphant bon mot of Caesar, " Vent; vidi, vita !" for, though we took part in a battle, as you have heard, our party was not victo rious ; and though we have made a long and tedious journey, we have experienced much, b u t see n little. The ven i is, therefore, all that remains of the for mulary, and we wait with some anxiety to supple ment it with redivi. After the unfortunate battle our Minister, feel. ing bound if possible still to preserve neutrality, and to carry out the objects of his mission, entered into correspondence with the Viceroy of this pro vince. The result was an invitation to an inter. view on the Bth ofJuly. He was received with all the tawdry magnificence so characteristic of China, and the Viceroy, at his request, memorialised the Em peror to allow him to proceed to Pekin. The Im perial consent obtained, we set out for the capital by land on the 20th of July. Our own cortege consisted of twenty-five vehicles, each drawn by two mules, and we were accom panied by a numerous escort of Chinese, civil and military. The highest of the former was (excuse the Hibernianism) a Manchu of the grade of Salt nd Commissi oner , a gent l eman of grea t affability and o d l ieschn.ra decorated e wi l t e b a leader of red b u t ton, b n tl t i t e nn military a m w a a s h o a_ co highl on e p l, medan in faith. All the arrangements for our accommodation were made on a very expensive scale, and secured us as much comfort as the country „could afford. And as to honour, the array of buttoned and feathered officials who ac companied us by the way, and the new ones who met us at every stage, was enough to satisfy the most fastidious as to the distinction with which the first American Embassy was greeted. The Viceroy had welcomed our Minister on the Bth, and now, on the 20th, he was entertained at his stopping place by the Treasurer, or Poo-tsing-sze' the next provincial in authority ; and at each suc cessive stage the local grandees came in swarms to tender whatever theirjurisdiction could afford. After two days of weary travel through barren heaths, we struck the Pilo,ebove Tien-tsing, and proceeded thence to Tung-c how in boats. To track up a distance of 360 le against a rapid current re quired no less than five days, but the voyage was the reverse of tedious, for though the scenery was neither enlivened by opulent cities nor emboldened by lofty mountains, it unfolded at every turn of the many winding stream a new and pleasing land scare— "E'en on a plain no humble beauties lie, Where some bold river breaks the long expanse, And woods along the banks are waving high, Whose shadows in the glassy waters dance, Or, with the moonbeam, sleep in midnig►ht's solemn trance." We entered Pekin on the 27th ult. with our escort of cavalry largely augmented, and affording (not me, but bfilliant escort) a spectacle to not less than 100,000 of the citizens. Among these some myriads were large-footed Tartar women, who appear to be free from the restraints imposed on their sex by the Chinese. Thus far our journey was an ovation. But we found it was to end in a quasi imprisonment, for that extreme Oriental jealousy which so long con fined the English to the suburbs of Canton and the Dutch to the island of Dezima still reigns supreme in this metropolis. Thus, when we were snugly installed in the Hotel of the United States Lega tion, we soon found that for the interim we were in a prison. A host of officials stood ready to obey our wishes, and of all things that we desired but one was withheld—liberty of locomotion. Assured that we should be allowed to perambulate the streets, and see the lions of the capital as soon as our business should be settled, we were not per mitted to go far from the door of our lodging place. We were not even suffered to exchange visits with the Russian Embassy ; and Chinese diplomacy has played its game so well that, though our Minister early fixed his own day for departure, they have protracted the business up to the present hour, and we arc to leave tomorrow morning. But, you will ask, what business? That which we proposed was simply to deliver a letter of the President and exchange our treaty. But the Chinese Ministers said they had orders to bring us into the presence of the " Son of Heaven." Of course they expected us to conform to the "rites"—excepting that, in honour of American independence, they would exact but one kneeling, and three" kotows," or prostrations—onc-third of thht required from tributary nations. This was out of the question, and his Imperial Majesty finally consented to re ceive our Minister according to our own etiquette, his officers signing a paper to that effect, but exact ing a private compliance, so far as kneeling on one knee. To this condition Mr. Ward returned a nega tive, and our visions of the place all vanished. The Emperor was disappointed, and even somewhat in censed, but he has become pacified, ratified our treaty, and received the President's letter. Politi cally our mission has been successful, and, with the exception I have made above, the Chinese have treated us magnificently. SHANGHAI, AUG. 30. We arrived from the north on the 22d, and, hav ing received an invitation to go over to Japan in the Powhatan, I ran Kiown to Ningpo ; saw my family, from whom I had been absent three months, and brought P-- back with me, hoping he may be benefited by the voyage. We expect to get under way early next week, and, after touching at Naga saki, to run up to Jedda. It is a rare thing in one cruise to visit the two chief capitals of the East. As to Pekin, the time for missionary occupation has not yet come. The policy of the Chinese Go vernment must first undergo a thorough change, and that change is not to be brought about by gentle means. The haughty spirit which they manifest now calls , loudly for the humiliation they are to suffer next year. Though I disapprove of some things in the policy of Mr. Bruce, yet I feel that a successful campaign in the North is equally ind:s pensable to the true interests of both China and England. " On looking over my letter, I find :t necessary to enter a caveat against misunderstanding. As to the suspicious and restrictive policy exercised towards us, that was altogether negative, no actual constraint being placed upon our movements. At the outset, however, the Chinese Ministers requested Mr. Ward to keep his suite indoors until business should be completed. To this he consented, and we were fettered by the word of our own chief. Our missionaries at Ningpo and here have just passed through a period of great peril, owing to tumults excited by the Coolie traffic,' in connexion with the defeat at the Peiho. The chapels of Syle and Muirhoad were nearlyldestroyed. Things are nay! becoming quiet, but they will not be on a secure basis until British prestige is restored. " I remain, &c., " W. A. P. M." HORRIBLE DEATH.—On Monday an inquest was held at Cambridge touching the death of Hester Borbon, who was burnt to death on the previous Saturday night. Deceased was a married woman, and was in the habit of getting intoxicated. She had bee a " charing," but her son stated that she was "getting on" at 2 o'clock, and so dis posed to drink that she had been known to take quartern loaves out of the house to get beer with. Between 6 and 7 deceased was seen standing, all in flames, between the door opening from one to the other of the two rooms of their wretched habitation. She fell on the entrance of the first spectator, a neighbour with whom she had been drinking, and never spoke afterwards. The body presented a sad spectacle. There is every reason to believe deceased had been seized with a fit, or in a state of drunkenness bad fallen forwards on the fire. The jury added to their verdict of accidental death their opinion that she was drunk at the time of her death. GRESHAM LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING (THIS DAY). The ordinary general meeting of this society was held this afternoon at the offices, 37, Old Jewry, to receive the report of the directors for the year 1858-1359, and to tran sact such other general business as is required by the deed of settlement. SVilliam Tabor, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The advertisement calling the meeting, and the other routine business, having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN said the present meeting was called in accordance with the Act of Parliament, to give an account of the transactions of the society for the last 12 months, and he would therefore call upon Mr. Farren to read the direc tors' report. THAMES. RoUBINO LINENDRAPERS' SHOPB.—Elizabeth Chamber lain, aged 19, a notorious thief, who has been once convicted by the City magistrates, and twice by Metropolitan police magistrates, for shop-lifting, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing geode from various linendraper's shops and warehouses. The prisoner, accompanied by a gang of young women, her confederates, has committed many robberies. On Friday and Saturday last several linendrapers in Commercial-road, Mile End-road, High-street, Shadwell, and other places, were robbed of cotton prints and other property. On Satur day afternoon last Mr. John Palmer, linendraper, No. 215, High-street, Shad well, received information that 10 worsted jackets had been stolen from the chop door, where they were exposed for sale in the usual way, and that five girls, who had been seen loitering near the shop, had just run away. Mr. Palmer also re ceived a particular description of the female who actually took the worsted jackets, while the others covered hertpe rations. A policeman named Robert Smith went in pursuit of the thieves. He saw four girls in New Gravel-lane. They were inquiring after another girl, and upon seeing the policeman approach they all ran away. Smith remained on the spot where he had just seen the four girls, and the pri soner soon afterwards arrived, and inquired after her four companions. She was immediately taken into custody by .Smith, who found upon her a large bundle containing the 10 worsted jackets stolen from the shop of Mr. Palmer, and two pieces of cotton print measuring 46 yards. Mr. Palmer identified the 10 worsted jackets. Their value was 10s., and they were stolen from his shop on Sa turday evening. Mr. William Eaton, assistant to Mr. George Emery, linendraper, Commercial-road, near the George Inn, identi fied the two pieces of print taken from the prisoner. They were stolen from the front of Mr. Emery's shop on Satur. day last, and their value was 245. The assistants of several other linendrapers recognised the prisoner, who had visited their employer's shops, and after she had left geods were missing. Smith said the prisoner described herself as an artificial flower maker, of 14, St. John's-court, West-street, Smith field. Ho had known her to be a thief for some time. When he arrested her she said that a woman gave her the goods to carry, and afterwards told several other tales. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the sessions on two charges of felony.

Remains—Aurora Australis, for Hobart Towne Mr. FARREN then read the document, which was as fol- lows: -- " The results of the eleventh financial year, ending July 31, 1859, are embodied in the following statement, which the directors beg to submit as their report to the general meeting :—The directors recommended to the last general meeting, that the audit of the society's account s , i ns t ea d o f taking place but once a year, should be entered on, by the auditors, month by month, preparat,ry to the annual re port. This recommendation having been adepted,.the di rectors have now to report that the system of monthly audit has been strictly carried out. The balance sheet of income and expenditure which, as required by the deed of settlement, has been already printed an ireu!ated among the shar. ]••,' ;ors ; is the result of such mifilt, and ;- for apprchal and i; 111 ;nth, completed their ,ti wits and 1., it task, the auditors, in conformity with the cousti utioa of the society, retire, but being re eligible, again offer themselves for election for - the year ensuing; viz., Messrs. G. H. Ladbury and William White lock, on behalf of the shareholders; and Messrs. Geo. Lowe, F.R.S., and Wm. Webb Venn, for the policyholders. The general income from premiums for the year was £85,598 12s. 4d., exclusive of interest on investments. The proposals for new assurances, exclusive of annuities, were 2,248 in number, of which 514 have been wholly de clined, or not eventually carried out. The remaining 1,734 here been completed, assuring upwards of a million, and yiel ling as new premiums for the year the sum of £28,208 2s. 10d. The general number of policies on tile books at the close of the present financial year was 6,094 ; the sum paid for deaths was £30,025 17s. 9d. The amount of the funds at interest or actually in hind, exclusive of deposits, and after due payment of all claims or charges to the close of the year was, £184.609 19s. 2d. The directors have, with deep regret, to record, among the events of the past year, the death of William Smee, Esq., chief accountant of the Bank of England, and one of the society's trustees. Mr. William Smee was among the earliest friends of the inslltution, and on all occasiens was ever ready to promote the success of the society, not only by the exercise of his personal influence, but financially, as a large shareholder and depositor. He fertunately lived to see the society become all that he had predicted of it, and his , name will ever bo among those of its most valued adherents. Considering the present extent and na ture of the transactions of the Gresham, the directors have during the past year deemed it advisable to apply to the Bank of England, for permission to exercise the corporate function of investing in the public funds, under the so ciety's common seal, and are glad to be able to say that the permission has been granted. During the past year the board have lost the valuable co-operation of an esteemed colleague, David Lloyd, Esq., whose unexpected decease was a deep source of regret to his official, no less than to his private friends. This sad event has diminished the direc tors to nine, and it is recommended to the general meeting that such number do now constitute the number of the board. The directors retiring on this occasion aro, Messrs. John Beadnell, George Tyler, and Joseph Williams, who, being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election, and consti tute the list recommended by the directors for that purpose. Looking forward to the close of the financial year ending July 31, 1860, the directors take the present opportunity of reminding the friends and connections of the society, that at such period the quinquennial investigation and valuation of the company's affairs will take place, with the view of da d forma theci ir c f c a t v o o r u s rt trust l e t that all parties concerned will aid in every way in extending ti that a ne b w on as u s s ur T er h s e te i j n o t i e n ri th m e swocilliety, thusan the range of the company, thereby increasing its usefulness to the public. Without wishing, in the least degree, to fore stall the result of the elaborate calculations, which will have to be made, prior to the declaration of any new bonus, the directors think it perfectly legitimate to contrast the present state of the society at this period, as compared with that of the year before the bonus of 1855. At that date the new premiums were £7,129 18s. sd. ; the current premiums, £35,379 9s. ld. ; and the funds, at interest or actually is. hand exclusive of deposits, were £69,689 4s. 10d. At the close of the past year the new premiums were £28,208 2s. 10d. ; the current premiums, £8.5,598 12s. 4d. ; and the funds at interest or ac t ua ll y in hand, exclusive of deposits, £184 , 609 19s. 2d. It is not the intention, by such comparisons, to offer any suggestion as to the amount of the ensuing division, or as to Gresham Bonuses generally. On the contrary, persevering in the same eourse of caution which the directors have always endeavoured to uphold, they will seek rather to err en the side of safety than even approach the line of imprudence, in such important transactions. With such results, however, as the above to offer, they have thought it right to exemplify the great progress the institution has made within so short a period. I'he directors cannot conclude without publicly thanking the numerous influential parties,. who have with such zeal and activity enabled the board to transact during the past year so lere an amount of business, principally among first class lives. Lastly, it is the directors' earnest desire to justify, by every means in their power, the continued suc cess which has hitherto attended the " Gresham ;" and they confidently expect that a continuance of the same prompt attention to the wants of the insuring public which has ever distinguished the Society, will always enable it to maintain its place among, the leading Insurance Institutions of the country." The CHAIRM.,N said, in rising to move that the report just read be received and 4dopted, he was happy to see so large, or more properly speaking he ought to sny so small, a number present, because in commercial affairs small attendances always showed entire confidence was re posed in the board of directors, and thata society was mak ing good progress; while, on the contrary, societies that were not so successful were sure to be very largely attended. The small attendance that afternoon he therefore took as a proof that the labours of the directors were considered to be perfectly satisfactory. (Hear.) Such being the case, he should not detain them at present with any lengthy re marks, as indeed he mil] not had he the wish, because ho found that year by year the mo►e the society had to do the less he had to say. He was happy to say the Gresham was a paying soeikty in more senses than one—(hear)—and his friends had only to look over the last report to convince themselves if the slightest doubt was entertained on the subject. There was, however, one subject in the report he could not pass over in silence—that was the death of Wm. Smee, Esq„ the chief accountant of the Bank of England, and one of tho society's trustees ; also, David Lloyd, Esq , one of their directors. He had the honour of the friend ship of both gentlemen, each of whom he highly esteemed, and deeply regretted their loss. There was another topic he would just allude to before he resumed his sent, viz., the allnsion made in the report to the declara tion of a bonus. The paragraph was •carefully worded, as the directors wished to hold out no false hopes as to whether the bonus would be large or small, or whether there would be any at all, but this he would say, that before the subject was finally de cided upon, it would Le well - sifted, and whatever was submitted he thought would bo found worthy of acceptance IV ith respect to the securities held by the society, he had very lately gone over them personally, and found everything perfectly satisfactory. With these few observations he would conclude by moving the following resolution : " That the directors and auditors report be approved and adokted." ALFRED SMEE, Esq., said it gave him the greatest plea sure to second the resolution, as year by year he had wit • nessed the society increase in importance until it had reached the proud position of doing more since its formation than any other institution of a like cha racter in the world. (Hear, hear.) The increase of busi ness, great as it had been during the past year, would un doubtedly have been larger had not the state of Europe been so disturbed, but returning tranquillity would bring with it increased prosperity. A great many persons had had been surprised at the business the society had trans acted, but the secret of that success was this—that the Gresham made life assurance a business. (Hear, hear.) There was no playing with the subject, and that was the reason that this office was so largely preferred. Every per son connected with the society was perfectly satisfied with its progress. The direotors were only too glad to add to their interest in it, and the only regret amongst them was that they did not secure a larger stake in the society at its commencement. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, having answered a few questions to the satisfaction of the meeting, put the resolution, which was carries unanimously. Mr. TYLER moved the next resolution, which was as follows : " That John Bcadnoll, George Tyler, and Joseph Wil liams, Esqs. ' be the list of directors to fill the vacan c i es oc casioned by the retirements." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Lova, and carried unanimously. Mr. COUSINS then moved— " That G. H. Ladbury and William Whitelock, Esqs., be elected auditors on the part of the sharehold ers , an d that George ;Lowe, F.R.S., and William Webb Venn, Esqs , be elected auditors on the part of the policy holders." The resolution was seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS, and carried unanimously. Mr. TIIORNTRWAITE moved, and Mr. Lowz .seconded, a vote of thanks to EDWARD JAMES FARREN, Esq., the actuary and secretary of the society. The resolution was enthusiastically carried, and wry gratefully aclmowledzed by Mr. Farren. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro- coedingß. The accounts from Italy mention that the New Sardinian home loan of £1,000,000 is to be issued at the price of 80, and that owing to certain arrangements regard ing the payment of the instalments this will practically be reduce:l to 76. If this be correct, the fact stated in the last Paris letters. that the applications had' reached five times the amount proposed, will not appear surprising. But it has been suggested that there must be some mistake, since the lowest 43 per cent. stock quoted at Turin is at 83 to f, while the English Loan, contracted by Messrs. Hambro, ie (plated 8.0 in Genoa. On the latter, however, there is a dividend of 2f per cont_., payable on the Ist of next month. SUICIDE IN A P OST-OFFICE VAN. —Yesterday morning a man named Thomas Melia, aged 50, hung him self with a rope in a Post-office van, in Warwick-place, Bedford-row, Holborn. No cause is assigned for the rash • act. It is not expected that the packet with the Bo bay mail on Saturday will take any .specie on account m of the Government. About £150,000 is at present engaged an private account.
