ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred ;Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

Lord Napier in the chair. Among the gen tlemen present were Mr. C. W. Dilke, president of the council ; Mr. H. G. Hubbard, Sir T. Phillips, ' Mr. J. P. Humphrey, Alderman Meehi, Mr. P. Hennessey, M.P., Mr. W. Hawes, Canon Girdle stone, General Sir C. Pasley, Mr. W. Stirling, Mr. T. Twining, Mr. J. C. Macdonald, &c. After the usual loyal toasts had been honoured, The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, said that a previous course of study could little enable him to do justice to thp :important subjects which he had to bring under their notice. He belonged to a profession which had often been unjustly associated with frivolity and artifice, but it was a profession which, when rightly practised and understood, was rather associated with the weightiest interests of the country, and especially with the interests of arts, manufactures, and com merce. Upon being invited to preside, he felt that he could not deny himself the advantage and plea sure of mixing, if but for a moment, with the great intellectual movement of the time, and meeting an important and highly intelligent assembly of his countrymen. He need not tell them that previous study also little enabled him to draw a picture of the proceedings of the society during the past year, or, indeed, during any former period of its history. H e had, however, by the kindness of the secretary be en permitted to inspect a draught of the annual report, which would be shortly laid before the associa tion. He found in that report evidence that the past year had not been thrown away, and that due attention had been given to the three principal subjects which were indicated in the title of the association. With reference to arts, he found that the attention of the society had been bestowed- on the momentous question of copyright in works of art, and although, owing to the interruption of public business and the dissolution of Parliament, the project of law embodying the views of the society had not been submitted to the Legislature, it was hoped that before long it would be lipid before Parliament. (Cheers.) With regard to manufaetures, two specialities had occupied atten tion—viz., the use of gutta percha in manufacture,. and the important articles surgical instruments. With regard to commerce, the object of the asso ciation was to draw public attention to the advan tages which our colonies afforded, both as markets and as settlements, and he had no doubt that when the, correspondence which had been commenced with the inhabitants of different colonies had been perfected, a result would be obtained of great im portance to the mother country. (Cheers.) Besides the special subjects of arts, manufactures, and com merce, the society had directed its efforts in two other directions—to establishing an enlarged system of examination, and realizing another Great Exhibition i.i 1861. The plan of the exhibition was communicated to many influential gentlemen, but unfortunately the aspect of the times was not considered favourable at pre sent. It was clear that the public interests in such an undertaking would be checked and discouraged by the hostilities which had broken out in continental Europe, and that the co-operation of foreign countries would for the same cause be considerably curtailed. The project had therefore been laid aside for a more convenient, but he hoped not very distant period. (Cheers.) He believed that the energy of the society during the past year had not been thrown away, but even if it were otherwise, it was their duty on this occasion to re affirm the great necessity of union and to declare anew the purposes for which they were embodied. It.was an unquestioned fact that more. than half the population lived by arts, manufactures, and commerce, in contra-distinction to the si.nple form of industry in agricultural pursuits. In works of skilled labour linglismen might be excelled some times by foreign countries, but, at all events, the unrivalled mineral structure of the soil gave abroad basis of natural advantage. (Cheers.) He had no apprehension of the commercial future of this coun try, because the demand for British products was, he believed, capable of indefinite expansion. With out reference to the home market, which was un doubtedly capable of still further development, there must be an immense increase by the opening up of new. markets. The activity of a future age would revert perhaps with curiosity to the respectable efforts of the 19th century, and possibly China and Japan alone, to say nothing of the interior of Africa, would require 60 millions worth of British manufactures, or, in other words, half as much again as the whole amount of British production now exported. (Cheers.) It was the ambition of the English merchant to promote useful manufac tures, and to rival the accredited seats of labour in the production of articles of au lesthetical and decorative character, and if they were shut out from continental Europe either by the exist ence of conventional fashions, or by the more ob stinate impediments of illiberal legislation, they yet would find new markets in those rising States in America and Australia which had been planted by the vigour and. industry of the Anglo-Saxon race. (Cheers.) Having referred to the impor tance of the gold discoveries, the noble lord com mended the establishment of numerous schools of art, and dwelt upon their - beneficial influence, in educating agd endowing the ' people with an ar tistic taste. The noble lord referred to the assist ance in the - promotion of art which had been ren dered by members of the Church of England care fully reviving the mediaeval style, and by 'the Go.. vernment in seeking designs in an open com Pet ition.

The Duke of Somerset, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the newly constituted Board, will enter on their duties to-day, the letters patent hav ing been completed yesterday. The only remain ing member of the late board is Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundas. The Amphion, 36, screw steam frigate, 300 horse power, which is ordered to be commissioned at Chatham, has not yet hoisted the pendant, although several of the officers have received their appoint ments. She is hourly expected to be placed in commission. The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Capt. Thomas Hope, left Spithead on Monday evening under canvas for the westward. The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Charles Brom ley, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead. The following mates. were yesterday promoted to be Lieutenants :—James Elphinstone Erskine, Henry Waller William Neville Itiffnell, Henry Holford Washington, and Charles Edward D. Willcox. Mr. William Mills was yesterday ap pointed additional master to the Wellington, GERMANY AND TUB WAR. The authoritative telegram contained in our im pression of yesterday affords a new verification of our statement that Germany was in no temper to take up the cause of Austrian misrule beyond the Alps. We read that "the Military Committee of the Diet charged with the examination of the Prussian pro position relative to the concentration of forces on the Rtiine will not give in its decision for a fort night." This looks very like an adjournment sine die. A Bonapartean campaign is being carried on in Italy with true Bonapartean vigour and rapidity. Prussia has made a communication to the Frankfort Diet. The Diet has referredit to the Military Com mission formed of its members, and the Military Commission will not report for two full weeks. What may then have happened on the Mincio, who shall say? May not the Austrian defences on that river have been driven in—Peschiera even have fallen, and an advance have been made threatening one of the other fortresses of the famous quadri lateral ? What will be, then, the temper of the German people ? On the one hand no successes of the French arms, while they are restricted, as we believe they always will be restricted, to the Italian provinces of Austria, can possibly increase German patriotism or German hostility . to France. What ever national fervour may exist in Germany as a consequence of further successes of the French in their present campaign must simply be the fervour already kindled. But, on the other hand, each success of the French arms must lessen the hope and heart of any who might have it in contempla tion to.come forward as the allies of Austria. A failing cause rarely provokes sympathy ; it must at any rate lessen all aspirations which are not in the highest degree disinterested. The Military Committee of the Diet are discreetly resolved that Germany , shall think twice before she acts; and a discretion more commendable it would be hard to perceive. Governments and people will be convinced alike that the cause of Austria in Italy is one which, after all, does not much affect them ; that Austria, at the outset, was unquestion ably in the wrong (for Prussia , herself protested against the Austrian ultimatum to Sardinia) ; and that it is just as well to let the Austrians fight it out, while Lombardy and Venetia alone are in dis pute. They will gradually see the wisdom of re • serving themselves until their own territory is threatened ; ; and they will be in the better position to vindicate the integrity of the Confederation, if there are any who soberly think it will be assailed, by holding a position purely defensive. So, appa rently, think the Court of Berlin, the Frankfort Diet, and the Military Committee. While this delay is announced, and these mighty events are passing on the Italian soil, it may be worth while to consider what is really the truth of the popular hostility which Germany is said to en tertain for France by reason of its career in Italy. Unless we are very much mistaken, this boiling in dignation of Germany towards France is little mare than a fable founded upon fact. Of all the countries likely to sympathise with Austria, Ba varia stands foremost. She is also a south German Power ; her religion is Catholic ; and the old Bona partean wars upon Austria were chiefly conducted through Bavarian territory. Fief of the French Empire, or open enemy of France, she suffered as much as any German State, in one way or other, from the clash of arms which half a century ago was so often heard beyond the Rhine. But are the Bavarians burning with enthusiasm to attack the French, and thus aid their Austrian allies ? The best evidence of a man's heart is the readiness with which he permits access to his pocket ; and while the Bavarian Government has been anxiously demanding the moderate loan of 4,000,000 florins, all that the patriotism of the Bavarians has afforded the State is some 300,000 ! A Govern ment asks for only £400,000, and it gets but £30,000. Bavaria, too, is a country with a popula tion equal to that of Belgium, or of some four million inhabitants. The proportion of the loan demanded was thus a florin a-head. All that is obtained is one-thirteenth part of this, or something less than twopence. We should not therefore be disposed to rate the ardour of Bavaria for war as very consi derable. It is hardly less instructive to turn to the liberal journals of Berlin, and of some other Germanic countries. We there gather a very dis tinct notion that, while such is the pecuniary liberality of the south, the north too dearly , cherishes its own comparatively liberal traditions to entertain much sympathy for the Austrian cause in Italy. If one journal of Prussia attacks French policy, another as surely attacks Austrian tyranny. Nor could this well be otherwise. The Prussians are at once a liberal body, and, as regards the majority, a Protestant body. What do they sec in Italy where Austria has held sway ? Nothing but despotism in every form—civil and ecclesiastical — temporal and spiritual. They feel that. nothing can be more dissonant from their views on government and religion than the system which Austria has long pursued in Lombardy, and wherever else her standards have waved on the Italian soil. It is just this conviction to which popular feeling is gradually sobering down in Germany. This distinction between the national rights of Germany and the national rights of Italy cannot be too strongly enforced upon the German people. No threat, direct or indirect, has ever escaped the French Government against Germany. We may add that no declaration against Austrian rule in Italy ever went forth until Austria broke faith with all parties by threatening the extinction of Sardinia. How, out of these facts, is a menace to be argued against Germany ? The very respect for nationality and free government which Prussians entertain in their own country must make them perceive some thing justifiable in the corresponding aspirations of the Italians. The Prussian people, as well as the Prussian Government, would be ready in good faith to maintain the integrity . of the German dominions of Austria. But they begin to see a wide difference, quite apa.r,t from their own fed?rgohljgations, be tween her elerman and her non-Geiniab. territories. They begin to doubt whether their momentary and instinctive alarm for the French entry into Italy was well-founded. This is but the natural course of thought with a nation full of sentiment and en thusiasm, but also full of reason and good sense. When the former is tested by the latter, the former, if unfounded, must give way; and the result is as gratifying to the discrimination of the Germans as their first ebullition betrayed an honest if mis guided patriotism. We believe that the experience of every day will give strength to this state of things, and that 'the Germans will gradually regard the freedom of Italy as costing no compromise of their own security.—Morning Post. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE IRISH COURT. The Corporation of Dublin, and the upholders generally of the Irish Court, have been thrown into a state of nervous excitement by the receipt of a letter addressed to the Lord Mayor by the Earl of Carlisle, in which his Excellency intimates his desire that the usual congratulatory address on his resumption of the Viceregal office should be dis pensed with. This communication has spread a panic among the citizens, and the old cry of " Whig treachery " is raised, as an' underplot, having for its object the abolition of the Viceroyalty, is said to be darkly shadowed forth in the letter of Lord Carlisle. EARTHQUAKES. The theory of those appalling convulsions which in a few seconds may spread desolation over the most populous and fertile districts is still among philosophers a subject of patient, but hitherto un successful investigation. the success of which must depend on the accumulation of accurate evidence, combined with geological and meteorological ob servations. Hence scientific descriptions of earth quakes of recent occurrence are peculiarly useful; and the following facts, gleaned from an account of those which took place in Tuscany in April last, by Professors Campani and Toscani, of the Uni versity of Siena, will, we think, be read with in terest. The town of Siena, which has always been subject to such visitation, is about 320 metres above the level of the sea, and situated on a soil of ter tiary formation, known as sub appenine among geo logists, and consisting above of a thick stratum of yellow sand degenerating into sandstone, and here and there interspersed with calcareous pudding stone ; below, of a clayey and bluish marl rich in fossils, and extending to a great depth. This for mation exists with little variety all round the town ; whence it appears that, notwithstanding the pre valence of earthquakes on or near that spot, there is no volcanic formation there. There are, how ever, other tokens of internal terrestrial activity in the neighbourhood; such as hot mineral springs of great medicinal power, and in the tunnel of Mon tarioso, not a mile from the town, a natural jet of in flammable protocarhuretted hydrogen gas. Having thus given an idea of the geological structure of the country, the authors proceed to state that last winter was in those parts remarkably dry, and the commencement of spring both dry and cold. Dur ing March the barometer was exposed to frequent oscillations, a circumstance which, as our readers may remember, exactly coincides with M. Prost's observations communicated on the 20th of Sep tember, 1855, to the Academy of Sciences. In the present case, a circumstance which seems to bear some analogy to M. Prost's curious observa tions on the oscillations of the pendulum for many days before an earthquake ,opcurs,w4s,,cpmmuni cated the Academy of Sciences on 'September 20i 1858. In the present case, the barometrical oscilla tions were accompanied with clouds, which after wards resolved themselves into heavy fall of snow, especially on the North-eastern Apennines. From the 4th to the 7th of April there were heavy fogs, the barometer maintaining itself rather about the average height for Siena, until the Bth, when it began to fall slowly and gradually, reaching 13 millimetres below the average on the 11th at noon, the eventful day when the shocks commeiced. From the 3d to the 11th the wind had regularly veered from N.E. to N., and thence to W., and W.S.W., when it degenerated into a calm. There was rain on the 10th, especially during the night, the rain gauge measuring about twelve millimetres ; slight showers on the 11th yielded three millimetres more. On that day, at 25 minutes past 9 p.m., the first slight shock occurred, which, in the course of the next twenty-two hours, was followed by no less than thirty-four others, the most violent oc curring at 3 min. past 2 and 28 min. past 4 a.m. on the 12th. The former only lasted three seconds, but was more intense than the latter, which lasted eight seconds, and consisted of a violent undulation with three distinct shakes. Of the thirty-four shocks mentioned five nearly equalled the latter; the remaining twenty-seven were of average inten sity. Each of the heavy shocks was followed by a long rumbling noise; nor could the ground be said to be perfectly still even during the intervals. Shocks continued to be felt until the 19th, the total number registered amounting to fifty-two. During the whole of this period the sky was variable, alter nately cloudy and fair; the air was close, and there was some rain occasionally. Almost in every in stance there was a calm at the time of a shock. ; in the intervals there was either a breeze or a violent wind blowing S.W. or W.S.W. Professors Cam pani and Toscani were enabled to take most accurate observations of the winds, since they had at their command the late Professor Pianigiani's anemome trograpli, incomparably the most perfect instrument of the kind in Europe. It consists of a vertical cylin der, about a foot in diameter and two in height, which is made to descend the same space regularly in the course of 24 hours by means of clockwork. A vane, freely revolving above the roof, according to the impulse of the wind, communicates its motion to a pencil, which marks strokes of a correspond ing length on a gra duated paper rolled round the cylinder, and which may be exchanged for another when full. These papers collected in a file, form the completest catalogue of the variations of the wind that can possibly•be imagined; the altitude denoting the time of day, and the adiplitude, mea sured by degrees, indicating both the intensity and the extremes of each variation. The authors of the pamphlet before us conclude their interesting account by stating the curious fact, that the space within which the shocks were felt was confined within an eclipse, the transverse axis of which passed through Siena, or nearly so, from E.S.E. to W.N.W., and forming a total length of 28 miles, a eSeo, that ex a e t ic !. the centre being about two miles from the town. The minor axis appears to have been little more limitedt ha n four t o places ce s was the yi lyin g this g but p henomenon ashort distance outside of it were t u terly unconscious of the shocks which convulsed the soilat the • of a mile or two.—Galignani. THE 48.3117: On Monday, the whole of the depots forming the second battalions of Indian regiments stationed at Colcheste:r. Camjwere assembled on the parade• ground to - 'ivitnessilie infliction of military punish ment on three deserters from the 88th Regiment (Connaught Rangers). The men, who had been absent from their regiment some time, were seve rally sentenced to receive 50 lashes ; and the sen tence of the court-martial having been read, the punishment was inflicted, after which the men were removed to the hospital. This is the second exhibition of the kind within a few days, the other offender being a deserter from the 6th Regiment of Foot, and also receiving 50 lashes. Capt, Grant,.late R. A., the successful inventor of various cooking stoves for the accommodation of the troops in barracks and in camp, has brought forwardan additional apparatus for the road, which, together with his other inventions, he has presented to the War Department, with the philanthropic view of benefitting the soldier on the march or in the field. The last-named invention was yesterday tested in the Royal Arsenal, -Wool wich, in the presence of a large assembly of noble men and officers, a number of whom, in conjunction with Capt. Grant, constitute. a committee. Colonel Tulloh, Major Clerk, and Mr. Fullom, of the Royal carriage department, superintended the proceed ings ; and Lord Fortescue, Lord Ebrington, Col, Hudson, president of the committee, Col. Gordon Higgins, Commissary-Gen. Strickland, Mr. Fon- 1 blanque, Col. Keate, and others, were present. The apparatus, which consists of a spacious oven, stew ing and boiling cauldrons, and a huge cylindrical soup machine, supplying 150 gallons of soup, and weighs 111 ccvt., and in working condition one ton, was mounted on an ordinary Artillery waggon drawn by a couple of horses, and driven over the roads and thoroughfares of the Royal Arsenal. After about two hours' march they halted as for encampment in front of the 'Royal Pattern-room, recently erected, when about 500 labourers belong ing to the carriage department square came for ward and; presenting tickets previously distributed, were served with a quart of vegetable soup and a ration of meat each. A batch of bread, as well as some large pieces of mutton and beef drawn from the oven, together with samples of the soup, &c. were laid on a table in the Pattern-room for the verification of the committee,. who unanimously pronounced in favour of the excellence and une qualled advantages of the apparatus for that especial purpose. The fuel consumed, and which was also stowed in the sides of the Artillery waggon, was 1501 b. of rough wood, of a kind easily obtained in an, country. The anniversary of her 'Majesty's ooronation was yesterday observed at Woolwich in all the depart ments except the Royal Arsenal, in the usual man ner. In order to give an entire holiday from Sa turday at one o'clock until Tuesday morning, the Coronation day was kept in the entire establishment of the Arsenal on Monday instead of yesterday. The whole of the troops were yesterday reviewed. by Major-Gen. Sir R: Dacres on Woolwich-com mon, and marched past. The saluting battery and her Majesty's ship Fisgard fired the usual acknow ledgment of 21 guns each, and the various estab lishments displayed the Royal standard and other insignia. of rejoicing. The War-office circular issued last November, to the effect that the married non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery stationed at Woolwich were to be allowed 2d. per day as lodging-money, is again ordered to be rescinded. Instructions have been received for the allowance to be discontinued, except to three out of every 100 men, to whom the privilege is to be continued. On a recent issue of an order which interfered with the social and moral comfort of the soldier in a similar manner, the matter was examined into and considerably modified. Th e present regulations have occasioned great dissatisfaction, as the mar ried men not included in the privilege will be com pelled to provide themselves with lodgings, light, and fuel, and as there are hundreds of married non-commissioned officers and men in Woolwich garrison, who will be brought under those restric tions, the subject is of considerable importance. There are several plots of waste ground belonging to Government, suitable for the erection of married men's quarters in the vicinity. of the barracks at the rear of the hospital an d a djoinin g th e com mandant's garden, which mi g ht be rendered avail able at a nominal expenditure, and with material benefit to the service. The annual inspection of the Chatham division of Royal Mhritie Lighritifittititvill take place to= day by Major-General Sir S. R. Wesley, Deputy- Adjutant-General. THE IVESTERN BANK. The initiatory step in th e procee di ngs aga i ns t the directors of the Western Bank was taken on Saturday by the service of the summons at the in stance of the liquidators. The document, which extends to about 80 pages, sets forth at great length the grounds on which it is sought to make the directors liable for the losses sustained by the bank. It contains 22 " conclusions" against them. The first is for payment of £42,000 for loss sustained by the acts of the directors from the 30th of June, 1847, to the 28th of June, 1848 ; the second, for £44,000 lost in 1848-9 ; the third, for £43,000 in 1849-50 ; the fourth, fbr £58,000, in 1850-2 ; the fifth, for £27,000, in 1851-2 ; the sixth, for £1,600 in 1852-3 ; the seventh, for £70,000 in 1852-3 ; the eighth, for £140,000 in 1853-4 ; the ninth, for £227,000 in 1854-5; the 10th, for £148,000 in 1855-6 ; the 11th, for £23,000, from Jnne to August, 1856 ; the 12th, for £185,000, in 1856-7 ; the 13th, for £36,000 from the 24th of June to the 28th of July, 1857 ; the 14th, for £67,000, from the 28th of July to the Bth of October, 1857 ; and the 15th, for £B,OOO, from the Bth of October to the 9th of November, 1857. The re maining seven conclusions are for the losses sustained on account of the business of the bank having been carried on after 25 per cent. of the capital had been lost. Thus, the 16th conclu sion is for payment of £2,250,000 for loss by carry ing on the business subsequent to the 25th of June, 1851, under deduction of any sums which may be recovered for the separate losses under any of the previous conclusions ; the 17th, subject to a like deduction, is for payment of £2,000,000, for loss sustained 'by carrying on the business subsequent to the 23d of June, 1852. The sums in the remain. ing five conclusions gradually diminish with each year, and are respectively as follows :—£1,800,000, £1,650,000, £1,300,000, £1,000,000, and £600,000. The " condescendence" states that the balance-sheets or abstracts of the company's affairs, for the years 1847 to 1857, were false and fraudulent, concealed the true state of matters, and grossly misrepresented the state of affairs and the position of the company. It also states that no profits were made by the com pany after June, 1851, when upwards of 25 per cent. of the capital had been lost, but enormous losses were sustained and bad debts of large amount contracted. The pleas in law are that the defen ders are liable to the pursuers for the losses sus tained by the bank and its shareholders, on the grounds of wrongous, culpable, and gross violation and neglect of duty, and also on the ground of excess of power and contravention of the company's contract of copartnery, by the directors and com mittee of management. They also state that the defenders are liable for the loss sustained in con-1 sequence of the bank carrying on business subse quent to June, 1851, on the grounds of fraudulent concealment practised, and false and fraudulent representations made to the bank and its share holders, by the directors and committee of manage ment. LAW APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Sergeant Berwick has accepted the office of Judge of the Bankrupt Court, and a first-class chair manship (Cork, East Riding), worth £l,lOO a-year, and a sergeantcy become vacant. Mr. Charles Barry, of the Munster Circuit, has been appointed Crown Prosecutor for the city and county of Dub lin, in the room of Mr. O'Donohue, deceased. The Right lion. Maziere Brady will be sworn in to-day as Lord Chancellor, and will take his seat on Thurs day next. THE RE-ELECTIONS, Lords Castlerosse and Proby have addressed their respective constituencies of Kerry and Wick low counties, and there is no present prospect of opposition to their re-election. An ultra -Tory local paper tearfully admits that Lord Castle rosse is perfectly worthy of any Royal or Minis terial favour. The traffic on the Lombardo-Venetian Railway continues to be carried on so as to disprove all the exagge rated misgivings entertained at the commencement of the war. The receipt s f or the week ending t h e 17th inst. show anincrease of 9 S - -' 0 ,294, or wore than 60 per cent., although, owing to the military movements, the earnings on the Lombard portions are not all included. [ADVERTISEMENT]. Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Hooping Cough.—E ver y nurse thinks she knews a remedy for this complaint, but unfortunately the bills of mortality show them to be fallible. The late Dr. Thompson always recommended sufferers from hooping cough to be kept warm, fed on milk and vegetable diet, and rubbed well on the spine and pit of the stomach with Holloway's ointment three times a-day, wearing flannel next the skin. No treatment is so safe, speedy, and efficient, no case can re sist it, and no ill consequences ever result from it. The cough continuing from habit after the disease declines is readily and radically removed by Holloway's preparations, which act more like magic than medicine in every stage of this tiresome disease. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, 5D SO= AUSTRALIAN COMPANY. Subjoined are the leading passages of the 23d annual report of the directors, which was presented to the general meeting of proprietors, held this day:— " The directors state that, notwithstanding com mercial depression and another deficient harvest in the colony, the position of the company - is quite as satisfactory as heretofore. The stagnation of busi ness at Port Adelaide has affected the revenue from the wharfs ; and the failure of the crops in the low land districts of the colony has caused considerable distress among the farming population. This dis tress has been aggravated by the destructive bush fires in several districts, which took place just after the harvest had been gathered. The colonial ma nager however reports, that the injury sustained by the company's tenants has not been serious, and that he does not anticipate much ultimate loss, though delay in collecting the rents may possibly be occasioned. The annual estimate of the value of the property was made as usual on the 31st October last; and it will be seen from the sum mary of the inventories that but little alteration has been made in the valuations. On this subject the manager remarks :—' With respect to the in ventories, as a rule, I may say they have been kept the same as those last forwarded; for although pro perty of every description, it must be admitted, has depreciated very much in value during the interval, yet the valuations placed upon the company's pro perty have always been of that character to allow of fluctuations ever taking place in colonial property,. where the standard of value depends so much on circumstances undergoing constant change ; for some time past it has been-found extremely diffi cult to realise any description of real property, and when sales have been forced, very low prices, as compared with forrner rates, have been accepted.' The following is the summary referred to. viz. : Town land and buildings, £77,080; country land and buildings, £241,566 ; port land and buildings, £33,536 ; mineral lands, £35,644 ; wharfs and ware houses (exclusive of the expenditure on the new wharf and swing bridge, not yet carried to the ac count), £48,956 ; Kanmantoo Mine buildings and stores, steam dredges, pile driver, cattle and horses, goods in store, &c., 46,044—L442,826. This state ment shows an increase of £3,949 over the previous valuation, arising from the completion of the pur chase of 747 acres in the mineral survey; from a small addition to the value of some of the country sections; and from the placing of an additional value on one or two of the town acres, in consequence of the erection of substantial buildings. Coun try Lands—Under this head the company possess 64,323 acres. On the 29th September last there were 57,677 acres leased, producing an annual ren tal of £17,201, and leaving 6,646 acres still un leased. For some time past it has been the desire of the directors to encourage an improved cultivz.tion of the land, and to promote the erection of suitable buildings on the farms.. With this view the colo nial manager has been instructed to increase the extent of the holdings where practicable, and to give every encouragement to deserving tenants. Mineral Land—This portion of the property, com prising 12,681 acres, is all leased with the excep tion of 735 acres ; but as only a small proportion of it is adapted for agriculture, the rental is small, amounting (exclusive of the royalty on the produce of the mines) to £1,488 Os. for the year. The re port from the Kanmantoo Mine is encouraging. It is also stated that other parties, to whom a right of search had been granted for six months on another block of mineral land, had opened the ground upon a promising lode, and at a depth of six fathoms find it sufficiently encouraging to extend their ex plorations. A parcel of ore raised by them has been sampled, and found to yield 11 per cent. The swing bridge across the entrance to the creek (as stated in the December report) has also been com pleted, and is reported to be an elegant .and sub stantial structure, fully answering the purpose for which it was erected. The income from the wharves has been materially affected during the past year by the stagnation of traTle at the port. It amounts to .E 5,108 17s. 6c1., which is a reduction of £1,557, as compared with the actual wharfage of the preceding year. Symptoms, however, of a re vival in business were apparent at the date of the last advices ; and the receipts of the first five months of the current year manifest a considerable improve ment on the corresponding months of the past. Rental—lt is shown by the rent roll, as made up to the 24th September, 1858, that the gross annual rental of the company is as follows, viz. :—From country lands, £17,201 2s. 11d. ; from town land and buildings, £4,303155. 6d.; from port land and buildings, £3,513 Bs.; from mineral land, including • £ll3 10s. 10d. received as royalty, £1,601 16s. 10d.; total, £26,620 3s. 3d.; being an increase of £1,106 • 9s. ld. on the amount of the pievious year. Consi dering the depressed circumstances of the colony during the past two years, the directors regard this steady improvement of rental as highly satisfactory. Sales of land—The sales effected have already been noticed in the supplementary report of last Decem ber, with the exception of 71- acres of country land, since advised as sold for £173, making a total of 1381 acres sold during the year for £2,108. These sales leave a profit on the inventory valuations of £1,785 ss. 6d., which:sum has been carried to the credit of profit and loss. Dividend—The net in come for the year amounts to £27,237 Bs. 5d., out of which the directors propose that a dividend be now declared at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, or 355. a share, payable as usual half yearly, viz., on the 15th of July and the 14th of January next. After providing for this payment and for the interest on the debentures, there will remain a surplus of £1,419 18s. 5d., to he carried to next year's account. The directorslwho now re tire by rotation are Bertram Wodehouse Currie, Esq., and Robert Chalmers, Esq., both of whom being eligible, offer themselves for re-election; as do the two auditors, William Richards, Esq., and Robert Oakes, Esq., who also retire in terms of the deed of settlement. The directors feel satisfaction in being able to append to this report a map of the colony which has been carefully compiled under theirimmediate superintendence, and which in cludes all the recent discoveries. It is necessarily on a small scale ; the localities where the principal portions of the company's property are situate are indicated by a green tint. This map it is hoped will prove interesting to the proprietors. The ex tensive tracts of fine land and the rich indications of copper ore which have been made known by the discoveries referred to, cannot ofsfr f to a ew i ma l ha t tyi. o hche b in e b:vor o juet f importance to the 'colony, the prosperity of which, although retarded in some measure by circum stances already noticed, continues steadily to ad vance.

At the close of 1857 it was stated at 113,000, but is now estimated to be about 121,000." P UGILISM. CHAS. ( RICHARD HALL ( £lOO A SIDE.—TheseOF NOTTINGHAM) FOR above stakewithin WILKINSON— OF THE POTTERIES) AND provincials had to contend for the affair the circui • 't " and the combatants were limited to 9st. 4113., and on Mon day,was brought to on issue yesterday. The when they went to scale at George Brown's, both were within the mark, Wilkinson, who stands sft. Sin., being in tip-top condition, while Hall was not so well up to the mark. Although the combatants, until the present occasion, may be considered as unknown to the London ring, still they yesterday gave sufficient proof of skill and bravery to render their names conspicuous. After an agreeable voyage, the ring was formed on a well-known spot, and such expedition had been used that the belligerents were within the ring soon after ten o'clock, Hall being first to step within the ropes. He was waited on by Jack M'Donald and George Gawton, while Bob Brettle, of Bir mingham, and Jem Hodgkiss, his trainer, did the needful for Wilkinson. Not more than even money was laid. By eleven o'clock the combatants were conducted to the scratch, and left to begin this heroically sustained match. The contest on both sides was maintained with the utmost spirit, and up to the time \\len the men had been fighting one hour and a half, it would have been impossible to give a fair guess of who would prove the winner. About this time, however, the superior condition, and his telling right-handers, began to give Wil kinson a lead, and having once taken this in a deci sive manner, despite th strenuous efforts of his opponent he maintained it to the finish. In the whole 54 rounds were fought, occupying two hours and twenty minutes, when Jack M'Donald finding there was no hope, and not liking to see so game a man uselessly punished, threw up the sponge in token of defeat, and Wilkinson was hailed the winner of one of the gamest mills on record. Both men were much punished, Hall, in fact, notwith standing the heavy right-handers above noted, appearing to suffer as much from physical exhaus tion as from the handiwork of his opponent. THE .REDUCTION IN THE NAVY. We are requested to state that the reduction in the number of seamen which took place after the Crimean war was accomplished without prematurely discharging those who had taken service for a specific period of time. The circumstances under which this sudden, and, as it now proves, prejudi cial diminution of our naval forces, took place were as follows :—The demand for the cessation of the war income tax forced the Government to bring the Military and Naval Estimates within the limits of the revenue as it would stand when the extra ninepence was taken off. To carry out this ob ject, all the seamen who had not engaged for a specific time were dismissed, and, though these had. doubtless quitted the merchant service with the idea that they were to have something like perma nent employment in the Navy, and were not to be sent adrift in 18 months, yet, as no cont rac t for a certain period of employment had b een entered into, it cannot be said that faith wa s b ro k en with them. As to those engaged for a sp ec ifi c period of service, they were simply allowed their immediatedischarge, if they choose to take it. A great num ber did so, and thus the number o f seamen for the i e n n i s s u s i m ng ay ye b ar e w ee a n s si b d r e o r u e g d ht as wi k t e h e i v n in th ge available revenue. So far as the non - dismissal of those whom the Government could not legally dis seamen, we must admit that the Admiralty h just asJ grounds for defence ; but it is . well known that the wholesale discharge of men —of all, it appears, who were not . engaged . for a definite period—has created much ill-feeling amon a clas s on whom the coun try's safety depends ; nor c an w e think that the act wa s . altogether undeserving of the expressions we applied to it.— Tines. fa:Rh:sit: t t :lee THE SKELETON L EAF .—I n the old tropical aqua rium on h o t h ouae No. 6, in Kew Gardens, there is a fine specimen of that most won derful of all vegetable produc tions, the l ace or l at i ce l ea f plant of Madagascar. It has been copied by the artificial florists of London and has taken exceedi ng ly well, and is becoming very fashionable with the ladi es , man y millions of leaves having been maAs and mounted into wreaths, garlands, chaplets, and coronels in Clerkenwell alone; it is 'now being largely exported to all our colonies, and has produced the manufacturers con siderable profit. who have named it the Skeleton leaf. This is but one illustration of the commercial value erjievi G irdens to this country. 1z /;-I'q)
