The PRINCE PRESIDENT entered Rochelle on the 12 th, where he was received with transports of en- HllO6Blll, and shouts of " Vive l'Empereur." The following are the dispatches from Rochelle : "La Rochelle, Oct. 12, Six P.M. " The reception given to the Prince at La Rochelle was full of enthusiasm. As at Rochefort, all the popu ations of the country districts came to the town with cries of Vive l'Empereur!' The health of his Highness is excellent." " Seven in the evening. " The Prince quitted Rochefort this morning, after having passed in review the troops and the deputations Or the communes of the arrondissement of Rochefort, Marenne, and Saint-Jean-cl'Angely. The crowd was Ini n'llso , and its enthusiasm was expressed in the warmest manner. His Imperial Highness was saluted everywhere by cries of Vive l'Emperearl"The Prince was received with the same transports at Ls Rochelle. Tho reception which he met with' there exceeds all that can be imagined. Naver was such an ovation given to any sovereign. The whole town is wild with joy. All the populations of the vicinity, assembled to the number of upwards of 103,000 souls, unanimously acclaim the Prince as their Emperor. The Bourse will be closed on Saturday, as it has been found that it could not be opened on a day when all the national guards are ordered to be under arms. The corn marker, which is usually held on Saturday, will take place to-day (Friday). The public offices will only remain open until 12 o'clock. On Saturday next at three o'clock, when the PRINCE PRESIDENT will enter P ar i s , th e b e ll s o f a ll the churches will ring, at the same time that the ar tillery will fire salutes. General MAGNAN published on Wednesday a supplement to his order of the day respecting the military arrangements for the recep tion of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, It consists merely of details as to the positions which the troops are to occupy, The PRINCE PRESIDENT, at the request of Cardinal DONNET, has promised a grant of 500,000 f. for the purpose of renclerinc , the front and principal entrance of the cathedral of Bordeaux worthy of that fine edifice. The Patric says— " The Government has received from all the depart ments accounts of the effect produced by the speech at Bordeaux: The effect is immense, particularly in the rural districts. The impression is so great that it has already exercised the most favourable influence on bu siness of every kind." We read in the Salut Public of Lyons : " We are assured that a telegraphic dispatch has been received announcing the arrival at Marseilles of the two men arrested at Saint Etienne; but it is said that the one who said his name was Gaillard, is not in reality that Person, but is named Guichard, or something near it. Efe says he arrived at Saint Etienno with Galliard, and assumed his name to favour the esc ape of that person." We learn by correspondence from Marseilles of the 11th inst., that her MAJESTY'S steam-ship Caradoc, Captain DERRIMAN, with the outward India mail, only left the harbour that morning at half-past eleven o'clock. The delay was owing to the badness of the roads between Lyons and Avignon, the rain falling in torrents for the last few days. Amongst the aris• tocratic passengers by the Caradoc, were Lord F REDERICK FITZCLARENCE, Lady AUGUSTA FlTZ .?LhatitricE, and the Hon. Miss FITZCLARENCE. His Lordship's suite was composed of Major and Mrs. lialtYzir, the Hon. Mr. BOYLE, &C. Lord FREDERICK was accompanied to Marseilles by Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE. Their Lord ships inspected the Caradoc on the previous day, and e jpressed themsel v es highly pleased with the disci -IP„,lioe, and gen e r a l app ea rance of the ship. The Caradoc, one of our fastest boats, will, in all Probability, reach Malta in from fifty-two to fifty three hours, that is early in the afternoon of the 13th. belonging to the Anglo-Italian Company, was to aye port on the 12th, for Liverpool, with up- Wardsi of 400 tons of rich merchandise, all shipped at es port. Amongst her passengers are the Hon. A ad y ViviAN and family, for Malaga ; General Sir Colonel DE BUTTS, for the same place ; and uolonel Ross, for England. Trade is very brisk in Marseilles ; there were up- Wards of 300 vessel s loading and unloading. T he Bourse was much agitated, and public securities declined in price.

The letter adds, that it Ivas rumoured that the Government thinks of annul ling all the concessions of railways which have been blade, with the exception of the line of Almansa.

SUN, THE OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Chronicle.) We have received by extraordinary express in eti, ticipation of the Overland :Jail our private corre spondence and letters from Bombay to Sept. 15, and Hong Kong to Aug. 25. The English mail of the 24th July reached Point de Galls on the 20th, Madras on the aria and Calcutta on the 28 August, by the Peninsu nd Oriental Company's steamer Oriental ; via Bombay it reached Agra and Delhi on the 28th, Meerut on the 29th, and Lahore on the 31st. The mail of the 9th August arrived at Bombay by the steamer Auckland on the sth instant. BOMBAY, Si PT. 15. (FRoeI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Since the departure of the last mail, a fortnight ago, few events of note have occurred in India. Nothing decisive has of late taken place in Burmab, which is the scene to which all eyes will be directed for the next few months. But preparations are being steadily and energetically made for the continuation of the war, and that on a fitting scale, as soon as the cessation of the rains and the opening of the cold season admit of military movements. Reinforcements are being dispatched both from Bengal and Madras, and general orders have been issued by the Governor-General and the Governor of Madras, brigading the army of Ave. Brigadier- General Sir John Cheape is to command the Bengal division; and the Brigadier-General Steele the Madras division. By next month there will be under the command of General Godwin five regiments of European infantry, ten regiments of native infantry, together with a due proportion of artillery and sap pers, and along with these a highly Effective marine force ? Some 20,000 fighting men will thus be ready for moving upon Prome, and subsequently upon Ave, and for occupying all the posts in the rear that re quire being garrisoned. The necessary force for the capture of Prome and Ave can be easily and speedily moved up the flooded Irrawaddy by steam. Some impatient spirits have loudly cried out against the tardiness of movement displayed in not at once making a dash upon Proms and Ava, but it is lucky that the direction of the war lies with more experienced and sagacious heads. The Governor-General is evidently bent on making such arrangements as will preclude the possibility of a failure. His Lordship is also evidently favourable to annexation, if we may judge by the circumstance of his having ordered a permanent steam flotilla to be got ready for the Irrawaddy ; but it is not probable that the exact area to be annexed is yet determined on. Instructions from England and the events of the war will regulate that. But the whole seaboard from Calcutta to Penang will undoubtedly be ours. Will not the whole Peninsula gradually follow ? The north-west frontier again threatens commotion. On the 19th of August, in consequence of a rumoured gathering of the Momunds, under their chief Saadut Khan, a considerable British force proceeded from Peshawur, and advanced as far as Shubkudr, on the Cabul river, but halted there, as no signs of an enemy were apparent. Probably our military demonstration prevented the threatened irruption by Saadut Khan. Next day, however, in another direc tion, a party of hill men, under a chief named Ajoon Khan, succeeded in plundering one of our villages, notwithstanding the presence there of a " local" detachment in British pay. The robbers were pursued by a British officer, with a troop of cavalry, but the alarm bad been given too late, and they succeeded in getting off with their booty. The cold season will in all probability bring the usual succession of border outrages, which may provoke Government into retaliation on a large scale, and may even lead to a war of extermination as the only means of securing the quiet of our frontier. The Punjaub is, to all appearance, quiet and settled. A rumour, however, has of late been prevalent that a conspiracy had been concocted there for the subver sion of British rule. There is no improbability in such a rumour, referring to a people like the Seikhs, among whom there are so many fanatics and desperadoes. To this rumour has been added another to the effect that the Punjaub conspiracy has ramifications through out the Mussulman population of Hindustan. Car • Lain it is that some of the Wahabee reformers (Mahomedans), not only on the Indus, but on the left side of the Sutlej, and at Delhi, have of late been in a somewhat agitated state, and several houses have been searched, some arms seized, and some suspicious cor• respondence secured by the authorities. It is not strange that seditious practices should occur in country situated as India is now ; the wonder is that there is so little resistance to the hated dominant power, for hated, or at all events disliked, by a ma jority of the influential classes I believe it to be ; but a fear of what seems to be the irresistible power of the British Government keeps the discontented gene rally quiet, and I observe that the Mahomedan editor of a native newspaper in Delhi brands the leaders of the present Wahabee movement there as fools for daring to imagine that they can overthrow the "in vincible armies" of the English, and as knaves for wishing to overthrow a Government so just. The last sentiment, however, is not shared in by all his brethren. In the Nizsna's dominions, according to the general newspaper correspondence from that quarter, disorder reigns as before, i n th e s h ape o f mu ti n ies of troops and little wars between powerful landholders. The latest incident we have to record is illustrative of the state of that unhappy country. Two Brahmin brothers, men of som e ran k, b e i ng una bl e to obtain Justice in a certain claim, r e s or t e d t o the not uncom mon expedient of seizing a member of the Govern ment—the defturdar it was in this instance--and keeping him in confinement until the claim was set tled oris compromised. Wi t h a b an d o f arme d men thi s expedient generally success f u l ; b ut t h e B ra h m i n brothers appear n o t t o h ave b een supported b y any considerable number o f re t a i ners, and after they b ad been in vain summoned to give up their hostage and agree to a compromise, s ecur i ty of person b e i ng at the same time guaranteed to them, force was resorted to, the house was broken open, and the brothers were killed in the rencontre, and the hostage was liberated. It is stated on what seems good authority, that no less a sum than ten lakhs of rupees (100,0001.) of ar rears is now owing to the British contingent, and that nothing but promises can be got from the Nizam's Minister. It is in vain to expect that Lord Dalhousie will take decisive measures with reference to the Nizam while the Burmese war is going on, but on its conclusion either his Lordship or his successor will have to turn bis attention to the affairs of those dis tracted territories nominally governed by the Nizam. Of Oude we hear comparatively little now-a-days. The last intelligence from that quarter states that the revenue is in a bad state, but that no actual fighting is at present taking place in the collection of it. From . Baroda we hear nothing new. Bow Tambeekur ll rules his Highness the Guicowar. Lord Dalhousie is at Calcutta, with his eye on Burmah, Sir W. Gomm is at Cheenee, in the Himalayas. Lord Falkland is at Poona. His Lordship has improved in health. His term of office expires in April, but it is rumoured that be is to continue among us a year longer. Our chief justice, Sir Erskine Perry, retires in November. Mr. Le Mesaurier, the advocate-general, a barrister of old standing, is deemed sure of the judgeship by many, but he has an unhappy infirmity of temper. The present puisne judge is Sir William Yardley, and be doubtless aspires to be chief. Sir Erskine Perry bas been and is very popular in Bom bay. He bas throughout his Indian career done ail in his power to advance the education of the na tives, and to enhance the several enjoyments of the European community. As president of the Board of Education, he has had much to do in the cause of native education, and he has done it well and cor dially. He will leave Bombay deeply regretted. ONE P.M. P.S.

The i danger of scarcity could hardly hate been acressed, as exportation would not conti nue if prices rose above those of the adjacent ports, and we are also receivin! the supplies which thually find their way to Ava.

Let us now turn our attentOn to the nature and effects of the prize seizure.• " As the Government on shore consider it necessary for the public service to seize all timber for their use, whether the same be owned by friends or foes, and the prospect of recompense, for it is certainly distant and improbable, it has given rise to great inconvenience and dissatisfaction. " The commodore has likewise taken the step of ap propriating the cutch, cotton, and grain brought here by the native boats, whose owners were under the impres sion they would be protected, and allowed to dispose of their property for their own advantage. Under the same order the rice is being exported, and it is under stood that the petty proceeds will be applied for prize money. These two acts are universally pronounced to be in violation of the proclamation wieh regard to the trade of this place, which was a short limo since pro mulgated, and cases of great hardship have in conse quence occurred to people who have been our partisans on the rivers. We regret the unavoidable cyclusion to which these circumstances lead, viz., to want of confi dence, the alienation of the natives from our cause, de cline in trade and in the consumption of British im portations, the impoverishment of all classes, and the condemnation hereafter of measures productive of results SO disastrous and so difficult to retrieve." consequence of the great demand for shares the capital was afterwards fixed at. 52,1 lakhs, and this is too large in proportion to the liabilities.

BOMBAY, SEPT. 15.—There has been a considerable amount of business transacted in piece goods since the departure of the last mail, but we regret to state that owing to the large stccks held, prices have not improved, and we look for no permanent rise in the value of im ports till after the Dowallee holidays, which commence on the 10th of November. THE BOMBAY MONEY MARKET. There is still a vast amount of unemployed capital in Bombay, and little or no demand for money. At the opening of the fair season the banks usually raise their rates, but this year the operation has been reversed for the first time within the last twelve years. On the 26th of August the Bank of Bombay lowered their rates one per cent., and were followed, as a matter of course, by the minor establishments. Advances are now being made on the security of Government paper at three per cent. per annum, on loans for three months. Government and private bills are done at three and five per cent, re spectively; and large amounts at even a lower figure. A few lakhs are being exported to Ceylon and the coast, but our imports of bullion have far exceeded exports for some time past. Actual monetary transactions are very limited; our money market is extremely dull for the season of the year, and likely to continue so. Government Securities remained stationary during the past fortnight, until the close of last week: within the last four days the Company's Four per Cents, have ad• vanced from 92 to 921, and are now hardly procurable at the latter figure. A further and considerable rise in elpheeerieallyof the notes being no outlet the price of paper is s f t e h x i p s ec lo te a d n . , issued in 1835 36, for money, Government securities of all descriptions are firm at our quotations. Bank Stock is in fair demand, and commands very fair premiums, as will be seen by our quotations. Since our last report the Bank of Bombs) , has made an important move iu the right direction, as will be seen by the directors' report, which we publish elsewhere. It is to be regretted that the original founders of the bank ever accepted of a charter trammelled with such restrictions as the then Government of India and Court of Directors saw fit at that time to impose. Those restrictions will now, no doubt, be removed, to , the infinite satisfaction and mutual benefit of all parties concerned. EXCHANGE.—The unaccountable proceedings of the East India Company in regard to their Exchange opera tions, have been severely felt throughout the whole of India. We were just in the midst of the disorganization into which their lowering a penny in the rupee, or nearly 4 per cent., on the 10th July, had thrown us, when, to th e co nsternation and disgust of the whole Indian er cantile community, the second July mail brought us w ord that the Excha n g e had a g ain been raised to 2s. Some of our contemporaries suspect that there has been a good deal of method in this madness; and th at some parties at home have had more than their fair Aare of - profit by those speculations. If the Manchester Asso ciation could procure and publish a list of the names of parties who purchased bills from the 10th to the 24th of July inclusive, they may by this means be able to esta blish grounds for a strong representation to her Ilajesty's Government. Here, no merchant or banking establish ment can calculate with any degree of certainty upou the issue of their transactions with England. If the East India Company are to continuo to rule the exchange operations of India, they should be compelled to base their operations upon sound mercantile principles. As matters now stand we are at the entire mercy of a system of jobbery which wo trust ere long will be put a final stop to. Freights—There are, we hear, vessels in harbour averaging 10,000 tons disengaged, and as t h ere i s a scarc i ty of exports, freights continue levy. e, e'er qaotations are 2/. ss. to Liverpool, and 2/. 10s. to London, To China we cannot quote higher than rupees 6a to 7 per candy.

Bleached jacconets, although they have improved in value, are still sold at a lois, but we think that an ad vance may be yet secured.

In coloured yarn we have heard of no sales. tions of the charter depriving them of more profitable business. The bank has occasionally held 400,0001. of Government Stock , at present they hold above 320,000/. Government now urge them to reduce the amount of this to 260,0001., or half their capital ; but the bank is at a loss in this case how to dispose of the funds thrown into their hands. Their average rate of profits, in excess of Government interest, has been about 3 per cent. ; their average circulation of notes about 250,000/. ; their maximum 650,0001., though the charter authorises them to issue two crores. The bank, under these circumstances, desires to have the privilege of issue curtailed to a million, and to be permitted to issue another in the shape of bills of ex change payable in any quarter of the world. Should this be declined, the directors recommend that the capital be reduced by one-half—shares of 1001. being henceforth worth 501.—the difference to be paid back to the shareholders. These propositions are all most important, and deserving of the most minute and ma ture consideration. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE PROPRIETORS OF THE BANK OF BOMBAY. A special general meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of Bombay was held on the 2sl inst., pursuant to notice, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, at the bank premises, in Rampart-row. The following gentlemen were present on the occa sion:—J. R. Hadow, Esq., vice-president of the board, in the chair; Major Swanson, Manockjee Linjee, A. Rimington, Esq., and J. Hunter, Esq., directors; J. Warden, Esq., Bomanjee Framjee Cama, Esq., Colonel Waddington, Dossabhoy Framjee, Esq., Captain Cruick shank, W. Acland, Esq., A. S. Le M.essurter, Esq., Dr. Maclennan, Captain Crawford, and Major Davidson; comprising almost all the European shareholders resi dent in Bombay. Mr. STITART, secretary to the Bank, read the notice calling the meeting, as also the section of the charter under which it was convened; and then proceeded to read the following report:— Report of the Directors of the Bank of Bombay, sub mitted at a special general meeting of the proprietors generalm e held on Thursday, the 2d day of September, 1852, at tln eleven o'clock a in the forenoon. etn g calling of the proprietors so soon after the usual annual meeting, when the statements of the affairs of the bank made up to 30th June last were submitted, the directors are most anxious to place be fore them the following summaries of the operations of the bank from its commencement in 1840, with the view that the opinions of the shareholders may be taken as to the advisability of an application to Government for a modification of the present Charter, Act 111. of 1840. 2. As the whole of the capital of Rupees 52,25,000 was required to be paid up before the Bank was allowed to commence business in 1840, the directors were unable to find profitable employment for it in the description of business allowed to be transacted under the charter, and therefore invested nearly the whole amount in Govern ment Securities, and although a considerable portion of these securitses have since been realised, the average amount hold by the bank has been forty lakhs of rupees (40,00,000), the present amount is nearly thirty-two lakhs (32,00,000), and the Government urge upon the directors the necessity of reducing this amount to at least twenty-six 1akh5(26,00,000), or one-half the amount of the capital. 3. The directors still experience great difficulty in finding profitable employment for the large amount of funds pi: ced at their disposal, and they are of opinion that some of the restrictions imposed upon the bank under the present charter may with great advantage bo modified, so as to render the bank more useful to the public, and profitable to the shareholders, without in the least billeting its present stability. 4. The average rate of profit realised on banking operations sines 1810 (exclusive of all profit cn invest nyfrits in Government Securities) is little more than three per cent. per annum on the whole paid-up capital. 5. Under 'he present charter the bank is allowed to issue bank-notes payable on demand to the extent of two crores of rupees (2,00,00,000) and the directors now propose to the proprietors that this credit should be divided into two equal parts, one for the issue of notes payable on demand, and the other for the issue of bills of exchange payable either in India or elsewhere, and for this purpose they submit that an application should be made to Government for a modification of the present charter, particularly with reference to 32d section, and that the prohibition limiting the bank to buying and selling bills of exchange payable in India only should be rescinded, and that the bank be allowed to deal in bills of exchange payable in England or else where. 6. If the Government will grant this request the bank will agree to give up the privilege of issuing notes to the extent of two crores, and limit its issue of notes payable on demand to one erore, and in order to insure to the public the most perfect security for the payment of the notes, the bank will further agree that the whole amount of capital raised by the issue of notes will be employed in granting advances on deposit of Government Secu rities, discounting Government bills, or invested in Go vernment Securities, and at all times the bank will hold a reserve in cash equal to one-fourth of the total amount of notes in circulation, as provided for under section 26 of the present charter. 7. The largest amount of'notcs the bank ever had in circulation wits 63i lakhs in December, 1843, but the average circulation, as shown in the annexed statement, is only 35 lakhs, and it is believed, from the result of the last twelve years' experience, that an authorised circula tion of one crore of rupees will be amply sufficient to supply all the wants of the community, but if not, the bank may be allowed to issue notes to excess of one crore on deposit of cash equal to the excess of issue, on the same principle as regulates the issue of notes by the banks in England in excess of their authorised circu lation. 8. With reference to the bank being allowed to buy and sell bills of exchange payable beyond the limits of India, the directors propose that never more than one half of the present paid-up capital will be employed in these operations, and that the total liabilities on such bills of exchange will not at any time exceed one crore rupees, being equal to the other half of the credit allowed the bank under the present charter, and that no bill will have a longer term to run than six months after sight. 9. The directors understand that her Majesty's Go vernment has granted Royal Charters for the incorpora tion of banks of issue in the colonies on similar princi ples, and hitherto no inconvenience has been experienced in allowing these banks to issue notes payable on de mand in cash at the place of issue, and bills of exchange payable in England. 10. Another modification the directors propose is that the bank may be allowed to advance money on the se curity of the shares of any of the chartered banks of India, and on the shares of any of the Indian railway companies upon which the interest is guaranteed by the Government; and also on the security of bills of lading and shipping documents of goods in transit and con signed to Bombay, and that the clauses in the 27th and 28th sections of the charter prohibiting this description of business be rescinded. 11. Under the present charter two general meetings of the proprietors are held in each year, one on the first Monday in August (under section 36), for the purpose of receiving from the directors a statement of the affairs of the bank made up to the 30th June, and the other on the second Monday in December, under section 13, for the purpose of electing two directors. It is now pro posed that only one meeting be held in each year on the second Thursday in February, and that the accounts be submitted made up to 31st December, and the two di rectors be elected at the same meeting. 12. In the event of the directors not being able to ob tain any modification of the charter with reference to issuing bills of exchange payable beyond the limits of India, they are most reluctantly compelled to propose that one-halt of the present paid-up capital should be returned to the proprietors, and that the shares be re duced from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 500 each. 13. The authorised circulation of notes to the extent of two crores of rupees, allowed under the present char ter, will also re quire to be reduced to one crore, an amount as sho wn i n the annexed statement to be amply s ufficient.f or t h e tra d e o f B om b a y ; b u t if not, the bank may the de obneullowed to issue notes in t xcess of one crore on 14. _tams stated in the 7th paragraph as above.

SHANGHAE MARKET REPORT. The sales of English cotton goods had been very large throughout the month, and a fair amount of business had been done in American manufactures. The sales of all these, together with the proceeds of the drug disposed of, had not sufficed to pay for the heavy transactions in raw silk, which, in the two opening months of the season, had amounted in value to three-and-a-half millions of dollars, or 1 2,500 bales. Upwards of 7,000 bales had already been shipped off: CANTON MARKET REPORT. There has been a larger business done in long cloths and yarn during the past month than in any late pre vious one. The clearances in both have been consider able. The activity has somewhat lulled daring the past few days, owinc , to a scarcity of money amongst the Chinese, which ' bas cued the rate of interest to ad vance about half per cent. per month. This has pre vented dealers from entering upon any speculative pur chases. THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. The anniversary dinner of the Builders' Benevolent Institution was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, Samuel Morton Peto, Esq., M.P., President of the Institution, in the chair. There was an exceedingly numerous attendance of the friends and supporters of the institution, and amongst the gen tlemen who occupied the chairman's table we observed the principal builders and contractors of the metropolis. After ample justice had been done to a very excellent dinner, embracing all the delicacies of the season, The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to see so numerous an assemblage around him. He could assure them that ho was by no means disloyal, although the day previ ously he received through the Lord Chamberlain her Majesty's special summons to be at Bangor to-day, as chairman of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, to attend her Majesty's inspection of Mr. Robert Stephenson'e tubular bridge, but finding that his keeping such an engagement would have pre vented his being present to-night, ho felt it to be his duty to return a respectful message back, stating that he had made a previous promise to this institution, which it was impossible for him to forego.—(Cheers.) He had now to propose to them, with heart and soul, the health of " Her Majesty the Queen, God bless her."— (Chsers.) The toast was drunk with honours. The CEAIRMIN text gave them the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the other branches of the Royal Family, which was also responded to in bumpers. The CHAIRUAN said the next toast he had to propose for their consideration was more immediately connected with tee object of their meeting.—(Hear, hear.) As he had tie pleasure of seeing around him a large number of p'actical men of business, accustomed by their every day habits to matters of detail, he was sure they would excise him if, before he said anything in furtherance of she toast he had to propose, he gave them a few de tails respecting the rise and progress of the institution.— (Rear, hear.) He should tell them that this society was established iu 1847, and that the number of pensioners DOW on its books was fifteen; while they had unsuc cessful candidates at the last election in 1851, besides others who had applied for assistance since. —(Hear.) The funded stock of the institution amounted to 2,8501,, and the number of annual subscribers was 790, giving a total income from both these sources of 5601. per annum.—(Cheers.) He bad also to advert with pleasure to the success of the Brighton branch, which had sent in annual subscription amounting to 55/. 13s , which when added to the donations collected by the branch, made a total of 761. 13s.—(Cheers.) So much, then, for practi cal details. Give him leave now to state that many of the unsuccessful candidates to whom he had made re ference were known to himself, and once they were like themselves, in a state of affluence and comfort.—(Hear, hear.) Those who were now the recipients of their bounty he had known from his earliest youth, and he honoured them none the less at the present moment be cause it bad pleased Divine Providence to reduce their prosperity.—(Hear, bear.) They ought, indeed, to con sider it an honour to themselves to be able to minister to their comfort and support, but he had the gratifica tion of recognising many there with whom be had long been associated and he was sure so long as they were allowed all that was necessary for domestic happiness, they would never forget the claims which this institution had to their sympathy and support.—(Cheers.) Placed as they all were in a position of effluence, as it were, could anything be more pleasurable or more de lightful than to recognise in the success of this institu tion the claim of their less fortunate brethren to succour and help?—(Hear,) He felt then that he should not appeal to them in vain to-night to place the institution in such a situation as to be able shortly to relieve the thirteen unsuccessful candidates at the last election, all of whom they knew to be worthy of the assistance they asked for and honourable members of the craft to which they belonged.—(Cheers.) He would not say more upon that head, but simply call upon them now to drink to the bottom of their glasses " Prosperity to the Builders', Benevolent Fund," and show by their determi nation that it should continue still to flourish. The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN—The next toast he had to propose to them had reference to the Brighton branch, of which he had already made mention.—(dear, hear.) He had the pleasure of seeing the chairman of that local branch at his own table, and to satisfy those whom ho addressed that no more fitting person could have been selected fur that post, he need only mention to them that this gen tleman had also been elected high constable by the people of Brighton.—(Cheers.) Ho had much pleasure then in proposing to them " The Health of William Beedham, Esq., the Chairman of the Brighton Branch." The toast having been drank with honours, Mr. WILLIAM BEI:Di:LAM returned thanks. Ile said the compliment had unexpectedly come upon him, and it sa tisfied him that, small as the Brighton Branch was, it had the sympathy of the parent institution.—((sear, hear.) The Brighton Branch, it was true, was only a Quick, but its members had full confidence in the Trunk, and they hoped ere long to be able to develops) them selves into a Branch.—(Cheers and laughter.) Again he begged to thank them fur the compliment they hal paid him, and to assure them, on behalf of his Brighton friends, that they should always be ready to co-operate in the best way they could with the parent institu tion.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Patrons of the Institution," coupling with that toast the name of Thomas Grissull, F.S.A., whom he pronounced to be a good fellow, ever ready with a warm hand and a spark ling eye to assist his brother tradesmen in their strug gles through life.—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with honours, Mr. THOMAS GRISSELL returned thanks, and in doing so ho took the opportunity of observing that it afforded him and the other patrons of the institution extreme pleasure to see that the institution was steadily progres sing in the estimation of the public, and he congratulated the members in the choice they had made in electing the chairman as president of the society.—(Cheers.) They had now the best possible prospect before them, and he seas confident that ere long the institution would rank amongst the first in the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Tuomes PIPER proposed the health of the chairman and president of the institution, and reminded the company that it was not every gentleman who would risk incurring the displeasure of this Sovereign for the suite of assisting at the anniversary of an institution like this. And yet ;their chairman and president had pre ferred attending there to going to Bangor, because he felt ho had a great moral duty to perform towards those who looked to him for relief in a timo of need.— (Cheers.) The chairman had raised himself to the elevated position that ho held in society by his own in dividual exertions; and if they could be allowed such a choice, ho would be the very man whom they would se lect, to show the Legislature what a builder was.— ' (Cheers.) He welcomed the chairman as an embodi ment of all that was good ic the building community, and he called upon them to drain their glasses to the bottom in drinking his health.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst repeated rounds of cheering. The CHAIRMAN hardly know how to thank them for the warm and hearty manner in which they had drunk •ng his health, but this much he could say, that he attri buted all his success in life to an early course of tr a aini w ar i r t y h in the workshop, where he became acquainttee those details which never failed to enable mearn to be out great works.—(Cheers.)

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXVIII. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, WITH A GLANCE AT NEXT WEEK'S SPORT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. _ SlR,—Wingenund, who, some twelve months since, was considered to have a chance for the past Derby, was yesterday defeated with such ease by Ben Nevis in the race for the Cracow Stakes that 101 b. would not have brought them together. This small mountain of horse flesh will give Mr. Batson a very good chance of winning some of the sweet morsels next year. For the 10 Soy& Sweepstakes over the T.Y.C. the ring made sure that Lord W. Poulett's Guava was a cer tainty, and laid 2 to 1 on him against his field accordingly. She went off with the lead, and kept it until half way up the distance, when she had had enough of it; Luxurious —who had been making a waiting race of it—then went in front with Warbler in close attendance, the former winning by half a length, and the latter beating Desde mono, for second place by a length. The crack was a bad fourth and last. The 10 Soya. Stakes over the first half of the Ab. M. afforded the spectators a splendid race between three— Cock Pheasant, Assault colt, and Azara filly—the first named winning in the last stride by a neck; and the Assault colt (who bad Butler up) only obtaining the second place from the filly by a head. Longatock Lass, Rage, Infidelity colt, and Admiral Tschitichekoff (tour rips) were beaten early. Lapidist has at last come out as a winner, having made all the running and won the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes over the first half of the Ab. M. by half a length; Gold Dust just beating Old Rowley a head for second place. From this running wo must naturally deduce the fact that Lapidist is only suited to short distances. Khadidja gave nine pounds (and could have made it fifteen) and a beating to Mary Ann in the 10 Soya. Sweepstakes. D.M. The Bretby Stakes did not come off in favour of the one I selected. It seems the stable accounts concerning her (Rosalind filly) were drawn in a much too favour able light, as the gentle rise at the finish completely settled her; she, however, in conjunction with Sylphine, cut out the work to the bushes, and, after lying in front to the cords, retired. Glenavon came with a rush a few yards from the chair, and beat Osbaldeston's half pre pared filly by a neck; Miss Tennyson winning the third place. _ The 1001. Plato over the Flat► was carried off very cleverly by Lord Chesterfield's Gladiole, 5 yrs, 6st 101 b, by a length; Garforth, 5 yrs, Bst 21b, beating Beauclerc, aged, 7st 71b, by a couple of lengths for second place, Vivandiere, 4 yrs, 6st 101 b, finishing an indifferent fourth. Belgravia, met with a severe accident yesterday, and, it is supposed, will have to be destroyed. The Filbert case of hocussing, it is now thought, was a pure invention of the stable lad'o, who is now in cus tody on a charge of theft. It seems that no less than 7001. of forfeits were paid up to allow of the starting of Ninnyhammer for the Bedford Stnlies. Sir W. Booth has sold Anel to Mr. Elwes for 1,5001.; he goes into Stevens' stable; and, it is reported, is to be tried with Longinus at level weights. The meetings for next week number five—Pontypool being marked for Monday and Tuesday; Pontefract (with a tolerable bill of fare) for Monday; Holywell Hunt (also with a well furnished card) for Tuesday and Wednesday; Richmond, on Wednesday and Thursday; and Lanark on Friday. The first and last named I know little or nothicr. about, and have heard nothing positive as yet, either of Pontefract or Ilely well ; but with re spect to Richmond, I understand that the Wright Stakes will be appropriated by the owner of GOORKAII, Os borne's fillies being all that he fears. It is not known what is meant, or likely to start, for either the Easby Stakes or Richmond Handicap, al though it is reported that Miss &mime, will be there for the latter ; if so, the race is as good as over. Child of the Mist and Cyclops are understood to be the animals for the Hat Stakes. Ou Mocday or Tuesday I shall lay before my readers all those scraps of information which have been collecting during the present week, referring as to which are the money horses, and which are to be placed on the hope ',ess list for the Cambridgeshire. I um. Sir, So., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 15. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHINA. Our advices from Hong Kong are to tho 25th August. (From the Overland Friend of China, of Aug. 24 ) The news from China of most interest to the ge neral reader is that relating to the long-continued insurrection. At latest advices the aspect of affairs in the disturbed districts was rather favourable to the Imperialists—the road between Canton and Kwei-lin foo being reported clear of robber gangs—trade, in consequence, taking a favourable turn. But intel ligence from the more remote province of Hunan, where Tien-teh and the great body of insurgents are said to be, is slow in arrival ; and we know little or nothing of what has been done there since the capture of the district city of Kong-fa. In our last Overland paper it was stated that some seventeen criminals had been handed over to the Chiae-e Government, convicted, at a court held on board the United States steam-ship Susquebannah, of having been principals in the murder of Captain Bryson and others, and in the piratical capture of the American ship Robert 13rowne. Tile prin cipal evidence against these men was that of the American seamen; but this the Canton judges would take no note of; consequently, on the second trial, only sufficient Chinese evidence could be obtained to bring the crime home to one, who has received a sen- I of decapitation accordingly. The rest, it is said, v.. ill be sent back to Fajen, and released. Whether the United States Government will be disposed to le s n i t t ert quietly under this mode of dealing with ts c a yi.ze o outrage on the persons and propy o i ns, remains to be seen.

DERBY. 22 to 1 agst Pharos I 25 to 1 agst Sittingbourne AQUATICS. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES AND FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS. This match, which bas excited so much interest in the aquatic world for some months past, took place yes terd.ty, and never do we remember such a concourse of spectators to witness a similar match. It will be re membered by our readers who take an interest in this manly sport that Robert Coombes for a succession of years held undisputed sway over the Thames and Tyne —in fact, he was thought invincible; and it was only in May lust, when Cole wrested the laurel from his brow, that it was thought any one had a chance with him. However, after that match, several of Coombes' friends (and he has many) determined upon giving him another trial, and cons' quently after a little " sparring," the articles were duly drawn up, and the men went into active training; and we but do them justice when we• say no men could have taken more trouble to satisfy their friends. The start took place at twenty minutes past two, the betting being 6 to 4 on Cole, who took the lead by about two boats' lengths, and it was evident from the first hundred yards, barring an accident, Coombes would have no chance. At Hammersmith-bridge, Cole was eight boats' lengths ahead, pulling quite easy. From this point it was any odds on him, and at Barnes bridge he had increased the lead to 50 or 60 yards; ho continued the lead to the end, winning very easy by nearly 100 yards. It must be evident to all that what ever Coombea's pretensions wero, Cole is now . evidently the best man. HAYMARKET THEATRE. A sequel, but not quite an equal, to the celebrated Box and Cox, was produced last evening under the title of Box and Cox Married and Settled. Mr. Sterling Coyne is the author. Box and Cox are supposed to have re tired from business and got married, and after a separa tion of some time, the friends find themselves residing with their spouses, i❑ their old lodgings at Mrs. Bouncer's. They form a domestic partfe carree, the har mony of which is disturbed by the squabbles of the ladies, who are not so amicably disposed as their hus bands. Mr. Box recognises in Mrs. Cox a fair one with whom he had been smitten in a railway carriage some eighteen months before. He had purloined one of her gloves, in which he had placed a sentimental effusion addressed to Miss Fanny Hawes. While they are at tea he attempts to convey this glove to Mrs. Cox under a muffin; but the muffin falls into the hands of Mr. Cox, who reads the epistle, and a tragicomic scene of jealous wrath and contusion ensues. After several other inci dents of the most extravagant farce, things are ex plained, and harmony is restored among the matrimo nial quartett. If there be little plot or incident, and no striking liveliness nor wit in the dialogue, Keeley and Buckstone are irresistibly droll, and the audience laughed consumedly. The farce will have a good run. THE JOURNALIST.

A thousand images the hour will take, For him who strikes, who rules, who speaks, who sings; Many within the hour their grace to make— Many to live, far in the heart of things. A dark-eyed spirit he who coins the time, To virtue's wrongs, in base disloyal lies— Who makes the morning's breath, the evening's tide, The utterer of his blighting forgeries.
