The Directors have the satisfaction of reporting to the proprietors that, in pursuance of the resolutions unani mously passed at the SpeCial . General Meeting held in April last., the amalgamation of the National Mercantile Assurance Society with the Eagle has been carried into effect, and two of the directors of that society—Mr. Wil coxon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre derick De la Rue--now occupy seats at the Eagle Board. The following account exhibits the increased income and outgoing of the year arising from the junction, which it may be remembered tak es effect retrospectively, and the balance-sheet shows the assets as they existed on the 30th June last, augmented by those just transferred. By the Surplus Fuud account it will be seen that the total income from premiums and interest is £183,376 Os. 11d., and the total outgoing £111,790 13s. Gd. The dif ference, £38,585 7s. 5d., and the surplus fund contributed by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 Bs. 6d., increase the surplus fund of the company to £899,095 Bs. The premiums on new assurances are considerably less than those of the foregoing year ; but at the same time a much smaller portion of them has been devoted to re-assurance. r r " E 0 X F U It D, 6, OXFORD-STREET, W.

SITBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the lieY. D. O,ILBERT D.D. No. 22 rinbary-circus, E.Q. Of Sporting in General. The facetious correspondent of the Racing Times writes on the above subject as follows :-- The " seasons" of London and Paris have both passed away, and our general masses are let loose to enjoy themselves. Racing and its attendant pleasures and evils do not wholly engross the Bri tish mind ; there are other sports indulged in, and their name is legion. Personally lam but a very sorry hand with a gun, and not the only one to shoot folly as it flies, the fowling-piece required for which, although made of much the same material as the other, is charged with ammunition of a different character, so Captain (steel) Pen and Capt. Rifle pursue their amusements each after his fashion, and the proselytes gained by one ought not in anywise to be envied by the other simply because there is room enough for all. Shooting in the common or poorer preserves of London, viz., St. Giles's-in-the- Fields, St. George's-in-the-Fields, Jockey-fields, Cat and Mutton-fields, and the several parks from •the royal one of Hyde to the smaller of Barnsbury and Whetstone, has of late years been gradually falling off, and is now chiefly confined to lunar sporting—in vulgar parlance, shooting the moon, and permanently indulged in shortly before quarter day. The needless glut of railroads also destroy many of the nooks and corners of old England without the slightest question of their usefulness or neces sity, and are generated only by scheming lawyers, engineers, and contractors, who ruthlessly combine to take away thousands of acres of surface land every year for their own especial aggrandisement, and force upon deluded shareholders bright hopes of large dividends, which mostly end in utter loss. This state of thinge is generally felt by the lovers of the chase, and a melancholy shudder affects the old sportsman as he reads advertisements of packs of hounds to be sold, and paragraphs that Sir Harry So-and-so is giving up such and such a hunt which he and his ancestors had held for so many years. The advance of wealth brings into the field large numbers of our trading community, who make up remarkably well, mount first-rate horses,:and hope one day to become county men. In the season hunting tickets are issued by most of the large railway companies, and a hundred miles out twice or thrice a week and back to dinner in the evening is nothing to your modern cit. of capital. As to shooting, general English game, such fabulous sums are asked for " Manors" that an ordinary Cockney sportsman would scarce pay his powder, shot, and license ; it is the same with moor and forest sports in Scotland, where an inex perienced votary to the pursuit of grouse, black game, or the noble stag, is pretty certain to be done in his hirings, and laughed at by the Scotch savages left to point out the best grounds and pilot the Greenhorn in search of that which he will have much trouble in finding. My attention has recently been called to a little work just published by Blackwoods,* forming a collection of articles reprinted from an Edinburgh weekly journal, and combining every possible method of destroying game and fish. It is not my province to review the book, inasmuch as I have actually read it, but there is a degree of self-im portance in the writer's record of his prowess that .will be found quite charming to all aspirants for spotting fame ; from it we learn that super iority in pluck and endurance of hardship , which have given the British Islands supremacy , are due to-out-of door recreations, and that those who loved the hunt ing field and grouse mo untain make in nine cases out of ten better military officers, where real busi ness was to be done, than soldiers bred in the ordinary way. This statement ought not to prejudice the hundreds of thousands comprising *SPORTING DAYS. —By John Colquhouu, author of " The Moon and the Loeb," " Salmon Casts and Stray Shots," Ste.

(From the Racing Times.) u Situate two hundr e d an d twelve m il es f rom th e grea t I me tropolis are the far-famed Melton Wolds, the scenery and views from which on a fine day beggar description, presen ting a panorama o f woodlan d an d di vers ifi e d land scape of immense extent, in c l u di n g noblemen's mansions sca tt er ed about, with a c h arm i ng proportion of rura l , but certainly never excelled. Uonufnotrrtyuna seldom two drawbacks to contend with, w hi c h opposed themselves to the charm of our visit to this ce l e b r ated spot last week. The first was, that when we reached there on Thursday morning, having received a country the e r g were equalled, e al courteous invitation the previous evening from Mr. John Scott, the well-known trainer of Whitewall Rouse, to in spect his horses whilst at exercise, the weather turned out gloomy and threatening, thus preventing us from obtaining more thada limited view of this lovely scene ; and, more over, the rain, which both the appearance of the glass and the gloomy state of the atmosphere prognosticated, came down in heavy showe rs at intervals during the morning. T ho other grievance, which may as well be got rid of at once to make our description pleasanter afterwards, was to find that a great share of these celebrated training grounds were now only a relic of the past. On ascending the hill, which was and is the main road to the wolds, and to which so many pilgrims to this favoured spot we fear will some day return in vain, it is to bo recorded that owing to an un fortunate change of heirship (of which perhaps the less said the better) a great deal of the pound, in fact all on the right-hand side of the road, has been enclosed. The Grand Stand of Melton racecourse is turned into a farm house, the ground of the course ploughed up, and those familiar spots, where so many of our turf celebrities under went their preparations for our greatest sporting prizes, live only iu our memory. In fact we are sadly afraid it is but a question of a few years before the final catastrophe may come, and the same mercenary feelings remove all that is now left for the trainers' use. Appended is a list of Mr. Scott's horses in training, brood mares, yearlings, foals, &c. The animals in training were all doing more or loss work on th e wo ld s, w ith th e exception of War, West wick, Claros, and Rondinella ; the first-named was fulfilling an engagement at Wolver hampton, and the other three at Stockton Meeting. There is little doubt from the improved form Mr. Bowes's horse displayed with Honesty and Strathconan, both backed for a lot of money iu his race at Stockton, he will be favour ably heard of in connection with the St. Leger. It must not be forgotten that this celebrated trainer has a lot of six engaged, one or other of which i s very lik e l y t o g i ve a satisfactory account of himself on the day. Knight of the Crescent and Knight of St. Michael look and go well, and are in splendid condition. The latter, however, will never successfully compass a distance of ground. Tho colt by Stockwell out of Midsummer is also undergoing a prepa ration for the Doncaster event. This horse, it will be re collected, was backed heavily for the Derby, but as he VMS infirm when gent to the whit9wali ektaii§bnivit, it was impossible to prepare him for that race. If, however, his legs should not give way, from his extraordinary good looks, and considerable resemblance to his celebrated sire, he seems likely to become ono of the most formidable out siders in the race. Of the two-year-olds, the notorious Grand Cross is evidently being indulged, as when stripped in the•stable afterwards, it occurred to us lie was being got ready for ono of the cattle exhibitions. If mus cular development to an extraordinary extent be a recom mendation to a thoroughbred, he ,certainly possesses an unusual quantity, but he appears more likely to grow into a hunter or carriage horse, or anything in fact except a candidate likely to win a Derby. Taraban, ou the other hand, is a good-looking chestnut by Rataplan, and has the cut of a racehorse all over, and we venture to prognosti cate for him a most distinguished career. The Wild Wind is another nice-looking horse by Wild Dayrell, also be longing to Mr. Bowes. Palisade, a chestnut filly, by 'humour out of Stockade, wants time, but is likely to grow into a grand mare, as she has plenty of symmetry, and cannot now be far short of sixteen hands. She be longs to the Hon. S. Hawke, and is engaged in next year's Oaks. None of the others appeared worthy of especial notice, nor did we see any other horses out be longing to other stables at Mahon.

Our next visit was to the paddocks, where Mr. Scott has three brood mares-Cypriana, Columbine, and Tooi Tooi, with each a foal. A few months, however, would enable us to form a better opinion of them, as two out of three aro not above three months old. One has, at any rate, been most appropriately named Royal Oak, from the fact of his being born on that day which is still celebrated for the well-known escape of Charles 11. My Lord is own brother to Viscount, now a yearling. The latter is, in every sense of the word, as aristocratic in looks as in name, and has the use of a paddock and loose box to himself. It so happened on the occasion of our inspection Sir Tatton Sykes was present, and appeared to be favourably impressed with his good looks; and having the highest opinion of his qualifi cations, it would be a gratification to us to hear of his having become the purchaser. It would puzzle even " A Special Correspondent" to find a fault with him. Ho has not a weak point in our estimation, and looks the perfec tion of a racehorse "in his hocks and everything that is his." Mr. Fothergill Rowlands also inspected him later on the same day, probably on behalf of the Duke of Hamil ton, whose factotum he is supposed to be, and there is very little doubt of tho colt's speedy sale. The price men tioned was a thousand guineas; and most assuredly, from his splendid appearance, he ought to turn out cheap at the money, whilst in comparison with the high prices realised at the present time for blood stock we should value him at double the money. To speak of the details of Mr. Scott's private establish ment would show a want of taste which we shall certainly avoid, but we may be permitted to mention that he is in possession of a good many paintings, by "Herrin„" which would ornament 'a nobleman's residence, most of them being painted expressly for him. Whilst acknowledging the hospitality and courtesy with which wo have reason to know he receives all comers, and for which we feel our selves under the greatest obligation, it would be a source of satisfaction if we could imbue some of the trainers in the south of England with a few of his liberal notions. They, in many cases, are afraid to let any one know even the name of their horses, and the idea of showing them in the stable is downright sacrilege.

STAMPED sd. less fortunate persons whose experience in a hunting field has been limited to Epping on an Easter sportinguch t t area, ravers e a and who never someored,such likely o are grouse o mountain; in fact, so far as personal comfort is con cerned, I have found an occasional day on the Yorkshire moors or the romantic wilds of Dumfries shire anything but according with my limited views of sport and pleasure ; and I limy assure the writer in question that hardship and fatigue, which he so strongly recommends, are the common lot of the vast majority of our Anglo-Saxon race, who would cheerfully yield their supposed advantages for other more genial comforts. Grant hardship and labour to those who can appreciate such things as luxuries. The country gentleman may pursue his wheat threshing with a flail, or break stones on his own roads for pleasure, without marring his own enjoy ment when he controls the task rnester • for my own part I prefer another kind of lif e altogether. It appears from our author that there are " two distinct and widely different classes amon g st men who are fond of recreation with th e gun. By far the most numerous type are mere shooting machines." And then he goes on to explain in an article devoted to sea-fowl-shooting in the Firth of Forth the difference between the two. Destroying wild sea fowl in their breeding seasons seems to me mere wanton cruelty, and so, doubtless, would the " countless array of guillemots, razorbills, sea parrots, cormorants, and grebes" think, supposing they could understand " pleasure" as pursued in the estuary of the Forth. Probably my readers have never heard the names of several of the above, and I am quite sure most of them will have some trouble in even guessing what " marrots, tommy nories, ,nettle ducks, toll-the-cannle-wicks, and Letter o' Marques" mean. It seems from the nar rative " that eiders were plentiful, and had begun to seek the nestling islands a iu the Firth:;" and the sportsmen soon sighted several snowy drakes with their russet feathers, but the birds were " fidgetty" and " fretty ;" no doubt, and quite natural too. Then is elaborately described the trouble taken to get on a rock immediately above a tiny bay, where " there were about a dozen ducks and drakes diving and sporting in joyous security." A couple of the former were booked without any difficulty, and after many mishaps a like number of the latter. Speaking of "Deer driving in Mull," a large stag cautiously waded into a stream, " crack goes the rifle, down came the deer on his knees, recovered, and began to hobble across the current ; a shot from the second barrel, and he toppled over in mid stream." To show the acme of fine shooting, thedeer was examined. " There were two marks through the brisket on the opposite side to the shooter, but only one on the near side ; it was therefore appa rent that both balls had entered at the same hole." There was nothing like a mull about this. There are some capital and exciting articles on trout and salmon fishing, both in sea and inland locks and rivers. This is an amusement or pursuit more congenial to my taste : by it we obtain the best specimen of the finny tribe, and the occupation is useful and profitable, and the " Sporting Days" give abundant and reliable information to the tourist who may have courage to try his luck in salmon or sea-trout fishing. To the quiet roach or gudgeon angler of the Lea or Thames no doubt the descrip tion would appear to savour of the marvellous, but he can take the book and try his hand, and so may any one of our Southern riflemen indulge in deer stalking and bag bag his own venison, always assuming he is lucky enough to get permission from some great territo rial personage, and finds the deer stationary as a butt at Wimbledon. In Hampton Court Park the animals are quieter and easier to secure without venturing so far as the northern wilds, where civi lised beings can scarcely exist ; but whether supe riority of pluck and endurance is really the charac teristic of the hardy mountaineer, I am not in a made a great and soMers Ica trcitasnrant streets with short pipes lighted up and black kid gloves. This is a great national sport or pastime— nothing else ; immense benefit has accrued to trades of many kinds, razor makers and barbers only ex cepted; for whereas the volunteers of 1804, when invasion was really within the range of possibility, on paper, did not consider it necessary to increase their facial decoration, and were not less brave on that account—a clean-faced Englishman within the last few years has been the exception, most persons, young and old, being desirous of imitating what within the memory of men were designated " dirty foreigners." lam a hearty well wisher to sporting of every useful and beneficial kind, where either profit or pleasure results, and hope the tight little island will continue to afford healthful recreation in profusion long after the excitement of reform and limited liability shall lifte passed into the pages of history, and when better times will enable the mul titude to join the upper ten even in the lochs and forests of Scotland, or yet further away in the pure mountains and waters of Norway. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE MANCHESTER MARKET. The betting for the Ebor Handicap, to be decided on Wednesday next, has occupied considerable attention tho last day or two, and since the subscribers return from Stockton races, Westwick has been installed first favourite. Gomera treads close upon his heels, whilst Scamander has a few supporters only in this market. Glendale has had a bad night of it, he having been sent to double his price, and the outside division. For the St. Leger, Lord Lyon is remarkably firm, and Rustic and Savernake are each supported for small sums.

SALES OF BLOOD STOCK AT DONCASTEK—At a meetir g of the race committee on Thursday last, it was unanimously resolved to remove the sales of blood stock from the horse fair, and to appropriate the beautiful grounds adjoining Nether Hall, and opposite Christ Church, and in which the show of ,the Yorkshire Agricultural Society was last year held, for the purpose. A more desirable place could not well bo imagined, and as it contains nearly 20 acres of fine grass land, ample room, free from dust and the general great traffic, will be afforded for any number of Colours of Riders—Mr. F. C. Morgan purple and orange hoops, black cap; Mr. J. P. Craven, green body, redcap; Mr. Biggs, brown and brown braid. Pas de Charge—Lord Portsmouth sold this horse for £10) to John Nightingall after the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Eghant on Wednesday. THE ACCIDENT TO A JOCKEY.—DooIan, the jockey, who was thrown at Oxford Races on Friday last while riding Mr. Smith's horse Ozone for the Innkeepers' Handicap Plate, is progressing so favourably that he will probably be able to leave the infirmary this week. LORD STAMFORD AND ARTHITIt EDWATIDS.—The latter's engagement with the Env:He stable does not terminate till the end of the season. His lordship wished the con nection to cease at Goodwood, and offered Edwards half a year's salary (£250), but the jockey determined to abide by his agreement, and Lord Stamford, whether ho avail himself of his services or not, will have to pay him £5OO at the close of the year. _ _ _ The Grand Prix of Paris has closed with the large number of 100 subs3ribers. Among the entries of English horses are the Duke of Hamilton's high-priced yearling Angus, and the Marquis of Hastings's Boreas. The first named nobleman has six nominations for this race, the Marquis has seven, and the Duke of Beaufort seven. There are several other horses belonging to English gentlemen engaged, so that the international character of the event is well sustained. THE VOLUNTEERS, The National Rifle Association has issued a very important notification—namely, that the second stage of the Queen's Prize shall, if possible, be shot for with military breech-loading rifles. Gun makers and others are invited to enter into a competition for the best rifle of this character, and certain special conditions are specified. The calibre of the rifle may be •450 bore, about the general bore of what are known as " small-bore" rifles (the " Whitworth," the " Kerr," the " Rigby," the " Henry," all being •451 and .500, which figure is somewhat less than the Enfield. The barrel must not be less than 33in. long nor more than 39 ; the twist and system rifling are optional ; and the weight of the rifle complete with cleaning rod or ramrod and bayonet must not exceed 91 pounds. The fore sight must be " military," firmly fi xe d to the barrel, incapable of adjustment, and to ad mit of a bayonet being readily and firmly fixed to the end of the barrel; it may be "knife-edge" or bead, aud, if the latter, have a strong cover ing, or be otherwise protected. The back sight is to be attached to the barrel in front of the lock, and only have a binged flap and a sliding bar, to be moved without any mechanical appliances. The slid ing bar may have the vertical lines so much advo cated in place of the defective and blurring V notch of the Enfield back sight, or apertures, or be with out both, and a V notch or any Combination of that notch and the rectangular notch is allowed. The breech apparatus is to be "simple, strong, durable, not liable to jam or to get out of order, and to admit of a minimum of 10 shots being fired in a minute, loading from the pouch. The cartridges to contain its own ignition, and a packet of 10 is not to exceed in weight 15 ounces and 120 grains avoirdupois. It is to be durable, so as to stand rough usage, not to deterio rate readily when stored; the lubrication to be suited to the conditions of military service, so that the car tridge may be alike servicable in any climate. A cheap form of blank ammunition is required. it is, if pos sible, to be waterproof, and, if possible, not to cost more than the present Enfield cartridge and cap. The distance at which the competition will take place is 1,000 yards; 8 trial shots and 30 competitive shots will be fired, and the minimum figure of merit required for the winning rifles is the average of the small bore competitions of the year 1862, 1863, and 1864. If no rifle attains this minimum no award will be made, and it is probable that in such an event the Queen's Prize will be shot for with muzzle-loaders. The competition will take place in February next, and all entries are to be made not later than the Bth of the previous month. Each competitor is to -ifieeiraitla.tbr.9.4‘.4flecLol +hp RitinP ttPril from...fixed which will be lent them. The competitors may enter more than one description of rifle, subject to the payment of an additional entrance fee. The competitor to whom the award is made will have to supply to the association the 60 rifles for next year's competition, at not more than £2O each, and supply, at a stated price, the ammunition required for the second stage competition. The Queen's Westminster Rifles competed at the Scrubbs on Saturday for a mounted Royal stag's head, given by Mr. Schaffer, and it was won by the well-known good shot Corporal Lcetc, and two other prizes were won by Ensign Black and Ser geant Walmsley. The St. James's company have fired for the Bigwood Challenge Cup and the Com pany's Association Vase. The ranges were Wimble don—namely, 200, 500, and 600 yards, seven shots at each, and the first cup was won by Private Oxley, with 56 points; and the second came to Private Southall), who made 49. The Custom-house Corps, the 26th Middlesex, have just completed their annual competition at Ilford for a very large number of valuable prizes presented by Colonel Grey, Colonel Manning, and other officers, by Lady Romily, honorary members, and other friends and supporters of this very smart regiment. Private Relf, Private IV. 11. Burton, Colour-sergeant Holtturn, Private Oram, Private Jennings, Colour-sergeant Ayris, Ensign Barnes, Ensign Jones, and Private LaWrence were among the most successful competitors. The 7th Surrey fired at Wimbledon for the prizes presented to the regiment. Corporal Hart, with 23 points in seven rounds, at 700 yards, won Col. Beres ford's first prize for first class men; and Corporal Brown won the second prize with 21. In the first series of the general prizes shot for at 200, 500, and 600 yards Paymaster Collins won the first, with 37 points—namely, a cup, given by Mr. Doulton, M.P. ; and Armourer-sergeant Bissel, with a like score, won a cup given by Mr. Christian. There was a very long list of prizes, and some valuable tokens of the regard felt for the Volunteer move ment by inhabitants fell to the s harp of efficient members who could shoot. In Yorkshire the Volunteers have kept house of ter The the great review atYo rk, and two prize rifle contests are the only events of the week. Ripon Vo lunteers have competed for four money prizes given M.P., at 500 and 600 yards five shots at each distance.
