The mining property which it is the object of the present Company to acquire and work is situated in the provinces of/ Thessaly and Epirus, and a portion of it in Macedonia, known in the country as the Sanjak of Janina, Trikala, and Volos ; it embraces a superficial area of great extent, and many rang - es of mountains rich in mineral deposits. Amongst those ranges are comprised Mount Pindus, Mount Othris, Mount Pelion. Mount Ossa, and Mount Olympus, which are elongations of the well-known metalliferous chain of moun tains passing through Illyria and Carniola, in Austria. the Sultan of Turkey, in the year 1856, granted a Concession for mining on the above property during a period of 31 years from that date, subject to an annual rent 0( 70,080 piastres (about £650 sterling), in lieu of all royalties, payable on theist day of January in each year. The concession com prises the exclusive right of mining in the above districts, and an:'exemption from the payment of customs duties on all Minerals produced from the mines. The district possesses unusual advantages for the export Of minerals, having a great extent of seaboard both in the Adriatic Sea and in the Grecian Archipelago. The boundary in the Adriatic Sea comprises a length of 200 miles of the sea coast from the Gulf of Arta, northwards, passing opposite to Corfu, and on towards the harbour of Duratzo in Albania, north of Avlona. The boundary in the Grecian Archipelago embraces about 100 miles of sea coast from the Gulf of Volo to Katharine, in the Gulf of Salonica. The concession was originally granted to Ized Pacha, and has finally become the property of Mr. George Zarifi, of the well-known Constantinople house. This gentleman has con tinued the operations commenced by Ized Pacha and his former associates in one portion of the property—viz., at the foot of and on the eastern slopes of Mount Felon, in which numerous veins of argentiferous and auriferous lead have been laid open. Large works for smelting , the ores from these veins have been erected there, about three-quarters of a mile from the sea coast. They are described by Mr. William B. Bray, C.E., in his able report ( co pi e k o f w hi c h may b e obtained at the Company's offices, or of the brokers) as very extensive in character, substantial in construction, and capable of treat; ing a large quantity of ore. The smelting establishment consists of 14 furnaces, of dif ferent sorts, besides a complete set of desilverising pans, according to Pattinson's process. There are six ore and slag hearths, three roasting furnaces, two cupelling furnaces, and a reducing furnace. '''il ere is a water wheel of 40-horsepower, but this power can be more than quadrupled. There are sets of stampers le a r crushing ores, as well as extensive apparatus for was and dressing them. There are workshops, smitheries, saw-mills,W., and exten sive magazines for charcoal. Wood can be delivered at the works from the adjacent extensive forests at a low cost, and miry be had in unlimited quantities. The establishment at " Pelion Works " is capable of' smelt ing from nine to ten tons of mixed metal daily, and of separating the silver and gold from the lead. There are generally from 60 to 80, and sometimes as much as 150 ounces of silver, and from six to eight dwts. of gold, in a ton of metal, and its average worth for gold, silver, and leedis from £2B to £3O per ton. The ores of Galena yielded bpercent. ines are very rich ; some of them give as much as 82 of metal, and the average is from 30 to 40 per cent. The mineral veins vary in breadth from 2 to 10 feet, and yield on an average about 35 per cent of mixed metal, consisting of lead, silver, and gold. The gold and s il ver are refined at the works, and the lead is of the softest and best quality. The Directors have entered into a provisional arrangement Tor the purchase from Mr. Zarifi of the abovementioned con cession, together with the smelting works, furnaces, plant, machinery, minerals, and other property belonging to the mines. Mr. Zarin, wishing to retain a large interest in the undertaking, has agreed ro accept payment for the property as follows, viz.: —£30,000 i n fully paid-up shares at par, and £20,000 in cash, According to the report of Mr. Bray, already alluded to, confirmed by Captain Hoskins, the Pelion mines are now working at a profit, and only require the judicious appli cation of additional capital to render them highly remune rative. Labour can be obtained in the neighbourhood of the mines ul•on economical terms, and a ready market is found in Turkey for all lead raised from the property, the price at Constanti nople being higher than in London. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to the Directors, at the Offices of the Company, No. 85, Gres ham Uouse, Old Brood-street; or to Messrs. Field, Son, and Wcr.id, 9, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, London. 'leach application for shares must be accompanied by a pay anent to the Bankers of the Company of 10s. per share on the slumber of shares applied for. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. o the Directors of the Imperial Thessalian Mining Company (Limited).

From , my letter from Messina* you must have seen the great difficulty of moving about and get ting intelligence which exists in Sicily. By land -the uncertain limits of the tide of insurrection make all communication tardy and uncertain, while by sea the Neapolitan Government has done its best to throw- obstacles in the way. Its interest is, of course, to isolate all points . on -the coast., and, thus prevent them from combining their plans. It is, .above all, as regards the intercourse of the two towns of Messina and Palermo that this was thought necessary. With the exception of a passing foreign vessel; there .had been no intercourse between the two towns for, weeks ; letters, not a few of gicat commercial importance, containing protests of bills of exchange, remit4ances, &c., haul been lying at the, different eonsuldeS for weeks without being able to reach their dtaination. The chances, then, of getting to this place were not very great. For tunately for me, an English screw steamer, the Vulture, trading. in e . flies° parts, had come in the ~very day I arrived 4 - - :, cbsina. The good. offices ettofQui. Vice'Consul) N •- iehards, and the civility of the agent of the cOmpany enabled" me to take,. advantage of her departure the next day, and to arrive here just at the moment when things are hurryink on towards-a decisive crisis. . Although not prepe:ted-Sor the reception of pas sengers, the goodwill of the master, Mr. Smith, found a shakedown comfortable enough for an old campaigner. 'We left Messina late iu the evening of the 23d, owing to a quantity of cargo which we had to take in. Just when we were on the point of leaving, the French paddlewheel frigate Des cartes, coming from Naples, steamed into the har bour It was night before we could get but of the harbour and steam through the straits. We were all on the look-out for Neapolitan cruisers, and rather anxious to witness their attempt " to shut the door of the stable when the horse had got out." Our curiosity was so much the more excited as the Marseilles steamer, while going two nights ago into Messina, had almost come into collision with one of the Nea r politan cruisers. The night had been hazy and only occasionally and for a moment illuminated by glares of lightning. One of the flashes brought suddenly into relief the square topsails of the cruiser for a moment, like the revival of the phantom ship, and the French captain had only time to put his helm hard a starboard, back the engines, and thus escape a collision. .

The night of our journey was tolerably bright, so that, in spite of the proverbial clumsiness of the Neapolitan navy, there was little chance of any such stirring incident. But whether Neapolitan cruisers go about only in a haze, or whether they only cruise once or twice a week, with the excep tion of a guardship stationed near the lighthouse in the straits, we did not perceive, either that night or the next morning, the slightest traces of vigilance on the north shore. The whole Neapolitan navy seems to be taken up in guarding Palermo, Mes sina, and Catania, so that, if the Italians chose, they might land almost anywhere on the open coast when and whatever they pleased. We sailed quite close to that picturesque north coast without perceiving the slightest stir or move ment. Had it not been fat' the towns and villages which are dotted about all along, we might have supposed it a land of the dead, not a boat or sail anywhere to be seen. The news had reached. Mes- sina the day before of Cefalu, a town just half-way to Palermo, having establisheda Provisional Govern ment ; we looked out, therefore, with double into• rest towards Ras-uggeld (th© Dog Promontory), which stands out boldly with its pointed peak, and is only a few miles distant from Cefalu. A largg, mountain range, called the Neptunian chain, runs all along Sicily from east to west, rising to an eleTa tion of from 3,000 to 4,000 feet towards its centre, and throwing ou g t its spurs to the north and south of the island. The range is nearer to the north coast, and is in sight all along from Messina to Palermo. The spurs which run down to the sea forma succession of promontories, with smaller or larger bays between them, serving as an outlet for the little streams, which flow down from the mountains. I mention this feature, which is repeated likewise to the south west, less for its picturesqueness than because it will help to understand the nature of the insurrection. The transverse chains which run out from the main chain of the Neptunian mountains form so many different districts of insurrection, and give that local character to it which, before Garibaldi's arri val, made all concerted action extremely difficult, if not impossible. All equally detesting the Nea politans, most of those districts are able to get rid of their rule without much difficulty. The Neapo- litans have never militarily occupied the interior, and the administration was carried on by native Sicilians. To get rid of these and the few police men was therefore all that had to be done. Very different was the case in the large towns, which were held in force by the Neapolitan troops, and which required co-operation from outside to get rid of their masters. A coasting expedition brings this at once before your eyes. The Capo Zaffarano to the cast, and the Capo de Gallo to the north, mark the limits of the mountain range which encloses the bay of Palermo. According to the last news received at Messina, this range was held by the insurgents, who thus sur rounded the town on all sides. Of course, every one used his eyesight and glasses long before we were near enough t o see some s i gn or /tiler of the insurrection. It was noon, and had we not been preparing ourselves to decorate the good ship Vul ture in honour of her Majesty's birthday, we should have been startled when we saw on approaching all the men-of-war on the station fire a long salute, and, with the exception of two Austrian frigates and the Neapolitan squadron, show themselves decked out in their best colours. The sound of the salute had scarcely died away when we took our merely pilot on board, and soon a ft er anc h ore d near th e li g hthouse at the head of th e mo l e. A boat, wit h fashion, the but Neapolitanit contained flag, approachedthe c s n the usual - t om house-officers, who took th e man if est i n a careless man ner, and disappeared soon aft er . N o s i gn of the police ! We asked, and were told l aug hi ng th a t they had all left their posts, and either embarked for Naples or absconded. Things were more ad vanced here than at Messina evidently, for there the police had merely grown civil, while here they had altogether disappeared. This was a strong sign of the times, but stronger even was the manner in which the people came on board and spoke about events. There was no fear of authority and its spies, and no one concealed his hopes and his de light at the turn which things had taken, The soldiers, with the exception of a thousand or so, had left the town to encounter Garibaldi, who had been expected to attack Monreale, to the south of the town, on the road to Alcamo and Trapani. While the soldiers executed this movement on the 23d, armed insurgents came down, but not on Mon reale, but towards Parco, a little village like Mon reale, on the slopes of the chain which encloses Palermo, and not more than six Italian miles dis tant. The soldiers, who saw the enemy appear in a different direction from that in which they were expected, returned to face this unexpected force, and, according to the accounts of the townspeople, suffered a loss of 500 men. While this was related to us volumes of smoke, both in the village of Parco and the plain of the Conca which separates the slopes from the town, were pointed out to us as signs that another engagement was tak- We had seen that smoke before, but ing place. owing to the haze it was difficult to make out whether it was merely from burning houses, or whether it was the smoke of firing, This smoke became henceforth an object of attention. lt was * PT9t pct fccciycci, PRICE 4P. SFAMPED, SD• visible from noon till almost nightfall, but it seemed to alter its character towards the end. In the be ginning it was intermittent puffs; snow white, ris ing now h ere , now th ere , an d di sappear i ng aga i n , only to revive an instant after. There-were no.re ports audible, but the look it bore was certainly that of musketry. It came down lower and lower to wards the plain. This lasted till about 2 p.m.,. when there were visible signs of a coLffig,ration in the. village as well as in the ncighbouring villas and farmhouses. It lied boen part of the' tactics of the soldiery to burn .everything which would afford . shelter to an. advancing- force of the insurgents, and that accounts, • probably, for the conflagration. The troops had aban doned the village, that seemed certain, but the question is whether it was in consequence of an attack from the insurgents or. not. I heard later on sheie that 25 waggons of wounded had been . brought into the military hospital outside of the town; but these may have bean from the engage ment on the day before. This morning the rumour is that more troops have been asked for, but up to this moment I can only tell you that Parco has been burnt, and that, consequently, the troops have abandoned Alie slopes. - That the heights are all in inhands of the insurgents night Showed clearly .eiiough. Their watchfires were visible all round the town in a semicircle. Besides those under the im mediate command of Garibaldi there are two other troops r eemposed of natives, who guard the outlets from the bay. They are supposed to consist of from mines of the island, conoidering that in. time of war it is necessary that the civil and military powers should be united in one person, assumes in the name of Victor Emmanuel, in : Italy, the dicta torship in Sicily... " G. GARITIALDI." This was_ issued the day before the battle of Calala Fimi; thefollo*ing proclamation appeared on the day after:— " Soldiers of Italian liberty, With. companions I 1,200 to 1,500 men each. But in general there is very little known about the movements outside. All is more or less supposition. like you I can attempt anything, and a prod of it is that I have led you to an enterprise very• ar• d nous, both on -account .of the numbers and of the strong positions, of. your enemies. I counted on yOur fatal bayonets, and I have not been deceived. Deploring the hard necessity of being-compelled to fight against Italian soldiers, we must confess that we found a resistance worthy of men belonging to a better - cause; and this proves of how much we shall be capable on the day on which the Ralf an family shall be . serried together around the glorious banner of redemption. To-Morrow the Italian con tinent will rejoice for the victory of her free sons and our brave Sicilians. Your mothers and your lovers;-proud of you, will go forth into the 'high ways with lofty and radiant brows. The battle cost us the lives of dear brothers, who have fallen in the first ranks; those martyrs of the Italian cause shall be recorded in'the _Kati of Italian glories. " I will send forth to your country the names of the brttire soldiers, yoUng find inexperienced, who so valiantly conducted themselves in the fight, and who to-morrow will lead to victory, on a yet wider field of battle, soldiers who are to break the last links of the chains with which our dearest Italy is bound. But what is certain is that the Neapolitans are not very confident about their victory. Yestetday two steamers left for Naples, carrying off fugitives and their goods and chattels. Boat after boat was seen passing full of furniture. All the Neapolitan steamers had steam up during the whole day and all night. Some of them went out craising,and watching the shore towards Cape Zaffarana, while others shifted their places in their harbour. " GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI. Calata Fimi, May 16." In the afternoon I went on shore, and the sight which offered itself was curious enough, numbers of people lounging about the Marina, a kind of quay, and looking at the movements of the Neapolitan steamers, eager to find matter for interference. The town, as some of your readers will know, is tra versed by two streets, which intersect each other at right angles. In two of the quarters thus formed there seemed no trace of the military except at the outlets of the town, but the two higher portions, towards the cathedral and the Royal Palace, were in a regular state of siege. On every more open space there were bodies of troops encamped or under arms, at every few yards sentinels, and at all the corners of the streetssmaller or larger detachments. Besides this, patrols were pacing up and down. This, how ever, did not prevent people from going about and looking down from the numerous balconies. No objection was made to carriages passing, and even the communication with the outside was not cut off. In daytime, according to the proclamation of the Commander, there is free egresg, and ingress from and into the town, but at night no one is allowed to pass or- even to move 'about. Almost all the shops are closed, and most of them bear the inscrip tion of being " foreign property"—a precaution, by the by, which will scarcely help much with soldiers who cannot read. But it is not on these inscriptions that the people rely so much as on the hope that the soldiers will have no time to plunder. Should they be beaten back towards the town, there is no doubt that the town will rise and cut them off if possible. Every preparation has been made for this, and there is a look of defiance about the people which would not be of good augury for the soldiers in case they should be defeated. Some of the more sanguine expected that something would take place last night, but the night passed and nothing has oc curred. This morning everything seems quiet both in the town and outside. The supposition is that all the different bands of insurgents aro being con centrated for a final movement, which is expected from one moment to another. That the defeat of Calata Fimi was considerable there can be no doubt; it cost several hundred men and one gun. The insurgents in their advance found a letter from the Neapolitan General, Landi, in which he asks for help, and excuses the loss of the gun by saying that the mule carrying it was killed. This is contradicted by the chief of the Staff of the insurgents, who says that the gun was on the car riage, and was loaded. Everything which is done here is in the name of Italy and Victor Emmanuel. " Annexation" is the cry, and the programme which all have subscribed is "no republic," and "no transaction." The Neapolitan Commander, Lanza, is the same who was here in 1848, and he is said to have the constitution in his pocket. He is said to be waiting only for a wish of this kind being ex pressed, and he will come forward all ready with it. But people won't hear of it—it is too late, they say. So much for the events immediately preceding and following the first successes of the Italian hero. And now what of Palermo ? At the moment lam writing I have intelligence from the 19th to the 21st, and I cannot do better than give it in the words in which it is conveyed to me : "Palermo, May 19. "This morning there is great excitement; three field-pieces were discharged towards the upper part •f the town and in the direction of the mole. Going up to the top of my house I observed a great hurry towards the latter place among the steamers. There were the frigates Polifemo, the /Etna, and the tug boat. The Polifemo (without steam) was towed out by the rowboats, and took up her station at the end of or opposite the Stradone della Flora. The frigate has since stationed herself opposite the Porta Felice, prepared to sweep the streets. The Assurance, or some gunboat, was anchored off the Lighthouse. We begged our Consul to communi cate with Capt. Cochrane, in order that he might ask the Commandant of the Castle, in case of a bombardment, to give • British subjects time for getting off. The verbal answer in the evening was that the time for action had not yet arrived. Dur ing the night the troops and nearly all the sentries in this part of the town were withdrawn, and I see only a small picket at Porta del Grpco, and a few soldiers standing outside near the extreme end of Banchctta, Some people say that they can see from the terraces the movements of the Royal troops in the outskirts, from the Porta de'fermini round to the mole, there being some bands in the Guadagna, near the old Campo Santo, on this side of the village Della Grazla, and on the 'other side of the Oreto. The police are fast melting away, and many desertions are reported. Lanza has published his appointment as High Commissioner, with the alter ego of the King, and the promise of a'pardon to all who lay down their arms, and a Royal Prince. It is astonishing that fools exist to 'publish such articles. All this was promised after the last revolution, but never ob served. Lanza is a, good colonel of a regiment; but utterly unsuited to his position. A small Sardinian steamer arrived last evening from Cagliari, and met the other despatch boat on her route there. I trust that the captain will feel for his fellow Italians of the Sicilian family. The British commander must have his hands tied so tightly that, although here to protect,his countrymen, I fear he will do nothing. I have just received the Proclamation of Gen. Lanza, the alter ego of the King, on his landing in Sicily. It runs thus : " Sicilians,—On placing my foot on my native soil my heart is overwhelmed with grief rather than with joy at seeing the city of Palermo reduced to ruin by the lamentable circumstances which now press upon it and weigh it down. Yet it is a con solation to me that I have been sent here by the august Sovereign as his commissioner extraordinary, with the power of the alter ego for the complete pacification of the island, which object having been obtained, a Prince of the Royal Family, already selected as Viceroy of his Majesty (by the grace of God) will appear among you. He would'come with the mission of giving complete effect to all that can produce the greatest advantage. He would come with full powers of administration to provide for the completion of carriage roads, railways, and the most useful public works. He would come to give the greatest development to your power and your industry, and to furnish the country with the best means which experience can point out for encou raging the progress of our civilisation and prospe rity. If our good Sovereign were not touched by your sufferings, strong in the justice of his cause, he would wait for the establishment of his undeni able rights. But, firm and constant in the reso lute desire to do what he can for your moral and material amelioration, he does not deny the debt which be owes at this moment to the greater urgency of the actual position—that of guarding your safety, threatened in so many ways, in the stormy times in which we live. In accepting this exalted mission, I have obeyed my conscience, and in obeying the commands of his Majesty, our lord, I have also yielded to the sentiments of my heart, which would spare the common country misfortune of which no one can anticipate the proportions and the duration, and consider well what may await you in the future. What destinies those who are envious of your ever increasing prosperity offer to you ? What guarantees have you for the good of which they say they are the bearers ? Take counsel from experience—rise to the height of the actual position to save yourselves, now that all the pas sions of cupidity are unbridled, and you do not know of what you are to be the victims. In the tempestuous struggles to which foreign aggressors urge you, your civil courage, supported by the Royal troops, can alone support you. In the august name of the King, I accord an ample and a gene rous pardon to all who have now been misled, and who will make their submission to the legitimate authorities." This proclamation was torn in pieces by the Palermitans, and the Conzitato published an answer, in which it spoke of the perjury of the Government, of the treachery which it had prac tised towards the Sicilian% and of the impossibility of believing it. I send you this letter by the Intrepid, a gunboat which leaves to-day for Naples. I don't know when I shall have an opportunity to send you something more, for the occasions are few. NAPLES, MAY 26. It is not at all unlikely that you may have received some of the intelligence which I send you, either by way of Malta or Piedmont, for between Naples and Palermo all communication has been stopped for upwards of ten days. I dare not, however, omit anything on such a chance. The defeat of the troops at Calata Fimi was celebrated as a victory at Bari, which was illuminated by command, and a Te L)eum was sung there. The following despatch, however, of Marshal Landi, who was in command, to the Commander-in-Chief, after the battle, gives but a sorry view of things : " (Most urgent.) " Calati Fimi, May 15. "Excellency,—Help—prompt help ! The armed bands which left Salemi this morning have covered all the hills to the south and south-west of Calata Fimi. One half of my columns advanced within range and attacked the rebels, who poured out in thousands from every point. The firing was well sustained, but masses of Sicilians united with the Italian bands are in immense numbers. We have killed the great Commander of the Italian Free Bands, and have taken their flag, which we have with us. Unfortunately a piece of artillery fell from the back of a mule which was shot, and remained in the hands of the rebels; this pierces my soul with grief. My column was obliged under a retreating fire to fall back on Calata Fimi, where I am on the defensive, as the rebels in great numbers make a show of attacking us. I therefore "Seg. your Excel lency instantly to send off a strong detachment of infantry and at least another half battery, as the masses are numerous and obstinately bent on fight ing. I fear to be assaulted in the position which I occupy. I will defend myself as long as possible, but if most prompt assistance be not sent I must confess Ido not know where the affiir will end.

(From the Thqes.) Mr. Bright is just now verifying the adage that anger is a short madness. Of course, he will not recognise the undoubted truth that it is he himself who has lost the Paper Duties Repeal Bill. lie can no mole see this than can the gambler see that it is his own fully which has emptied his pockets. Ile carries his passion beyond kicking the little boy off the door step ; he is almost like the gamester who goes home and thrashes his wife and knocks down his friends. We can understand that it may consort with his passion, and with his usual notions of expediency, to pour out th" vials of. his wrath upon the Peers. That they derive every vice and prejudice and incapacity out of the coffin of their immediate ancestor, and put on folly as a Peer's robe, is quite comprehensible in the mouth. of Mr. Bright ; but why are poor Mr. Milner Gibson and roor Mr. Villiers to be threatened with eternal infamy ? Why arc they to be told that they will go down to posterity as men who have surrendered the liberties of their country ? Surely they have laboured hard enough to do the work of this hard master ? But it is always so : the worst player is" always finding fault with his partner. Here Bright has trumped Gibson's best card and has lost the game, and LOW he is throwing the cards in poor Gibson's face. 'As to ourselves we are , used to this species of ingratitude. We told Mr. Bright all along that he was throwing away the best chance we had of getting the Paper Duty repealed. When he was insulting and defying the Lords we entreated him to be quiet, and to believe that the best way of inducing English gentlemen to do a thing is not to threaten them with extinc tion if they do not do it. But Mr. Bright has been for years abusing us, and we have been for years faithfully reporting his abuse. Perhaps there may be a touch of superstition in this. We have such faith in the prosperity of everything that Mr. Bright attacks ! He never yet assailed anything that did not flourish, and he never yet patronised anything that did not wither. Mr.. Bright has been very curious in calculating our pe cuniary interest in the paper dues question, and he most strangely under-estimates it at £25,000 a-year. We will not take the same liberty with Mr. Bright. We will not ask him what loss or what, contribution he hopes to save when these duties are repealed. We will only remind him that there is one slight difference between us, and that difference is that we have promised that whatever we save shall be given to the public, and we are not aware that Mr. Bright has ever made for his organ any such promise. As Mr. Bright insists upon talking newspaper business with us, let us, as the ladies say, sit down to parlor chiffons. We will give him a little advice worth having. He has really lost nothing by the rejection of this bill, for, if it had passed, his organ would not have got the benefit of it. Other competitors would have carried off the profits. Mr. Bright may get a mob to listen to him, but he will not get a public to buy him. His opinions and hif tasteEc are not those of the English people. If he is bent at all hazards upon having an organ, and do es not like to carry it on at a loss, the only certain plan: is an annual Parliamentary subsidyfor the purpose. As a Christian return for all Mr. Bright's compli ments we are . prepared to support him in this* proposition. We can, indeed, find good public reasons in his favour. His curious ill-luck and his; strange perversity of judgment would doubtless' make it necessary that we should vote a rather large subsidy to' keep such an organ afloat ; but still it would be cheap on the whale. It might be £lO,OOO or £15,000 a-year, but this would No.& cheap compromise against the loss of £1,400,000 of revenue. Now, we put it to Mr. Bright's candour whether this be not a very handsome offer, and we put it to the country whether it be not an econo mical offer. If Mr. Bright will have his roast sucking-pig, it is cheaper to buy a kitchen grate for him, and to endow it with coals, than to have the national Treasury burnt down in order to roast it. MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS.—The --- annua l moveable c ommittee of this society was in the past w eek held in the anc ient and picturesque town of Shrews bury.

On Tuesday a grand procession of members bearing flags and banners, attracted immense crowds of , people. The streets t raverse d were gay with green leaves, triumphal arches, and flags. A banquet at the Music hall, with the M a y or i n thechair •' a grand ball in the same elegant building; exc urs i ons t o Chester and Wales, filled up the intervals of business, and occupied the attention of the visitors. The business transacted by the delegates during the week c om prehended the sub-committee's and auditors' reports of the Unity during, the past year; the election of officers and directors until the next annual meeting—and the consideration and alteration of the gene ral laws which regulate the entire order. The auditors' report stated the working expenses of the year at £B3O, and the sub-committee's report called particular attention to petitioning for the repeal of the Friendly Societies' Act, 1858, and supporting the bill last week introduced by Mr. Sotheron Estcourt. The Grand Master, Mr. Wm. Hick ton, of Stockport, presided, and his successor chosen was Mr. Henry Buck, of Birmingham, the Deputy G.M. being Mr. John Gale of Liverpool. Messrs. Burgess, Daynes, Jack, Pratt, Richmond, Roe, Schofield, Street, and Wood cock were elected directors. Although many important propositions were brought forward no radical changes were made in the laws affecting the constitution of the society. One motion for altering the laws triennially instead. c.s g annually was lost by a large majoriiy. The place chosen fox holding the next A N ~C, pawn. ASCOT RACES.
