This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur chasing and extending the well-known and valuable Marble Quarries at Massa-Carrara, near Leghorn, hitherto carried on by an Italian Company, as well as several other im portant quarries, in adjacent districts. These quarries • comprise statuary of first and second quality, clear white, Sicilian, dove, and other marbles. Included in the purchase are extensive saw mills, recently erected, and a largo stock of marble both in blocks and slabs, and arrangements are pending for securing an exten sive agency business in London. The Marble Quarries of Carrara are the principal, if not the only source in Europe from which white and veined Marble is procurable. Fifteen quarries are in high production and extensively Opened, and in additiovertLetharpearsimax., ties of the first CmportaiThe saw mills are distant 'only throe miles from the railway station at Massa, from which a railway leads direct to the shipping port of Leg horn. The consideration for the transfer of these several guar ligg' together with the saw mills, machinery, and plant, of the Italian Company, and the goodwill of its business, and also including the stock of blocks and slabs of marble in Italy, has been fixed at £BO,OOO, leaving ample capital for the erection of additional saw mills, and for developing both the old and new quarries. The colossal fortunes made by the few parties who have so long monopolised the marble quarries in Italy are a sufficient guarantee of the prospects of the Company. The Company will annually derive two sources of profit from their operations, the one local the other foreign, by exports to Great Britain, America, the East Indies, and elsewhere. Taking the annual total yield of Marble at 300,000 cubic palms (or 12,000 tons English), it is expected that the sale of blocks and slabs will realise a net annual profit, deducting all expenses, of £28,700 sterling; whilst with respect to the trade with Great Britain, deducting all ex penses, including management, a further profit may bo con dently looked for. Printed copies of the several reports of Messrs. Weiller, Bargiacchi, and Avenante, upon the value and capabilities Of the property, may be had at the Offices, where speci mens of the marble from the quarries may be seen. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares, in the form annexed, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company ; also of the Bankers, Broker, and Solicitors. London, 21st July, 1865.

This Company i s formed for the U purpose of purchasing, ting on, and extending the business of Hodges's Dis ry, and of appropriate operations which may be con nected therewith. The world-wide reputation of this establishment is well known and appreciated. The Distillery has been estab lished and prosperously worked since 1774, and many for tunes have been realised out of the business. , This establishment, with all its current trade, will be nanded over to this Company on the Ist of August next, the vender guaranteeing the Company against any loss as to such of the assets and liabilities as it may be mutually convenient to transfer. The property is capacious, well situated, and admirably adapted to its purpose, and it is held upon desirable titles, nearly tho whole being freehold. The plant has with never-ceasing care and attention been himproved as fast as advantageous modifications of machinery ave been int ro d uce d, an d it s present working capability is equate to supply a trade of fourfold the actual returns. The establishment is, moreover, provided with the most ecenplete independent gas and water works. Looking at the present extent and condition of the pre mises, plant, and machinery, with a view to enlarged business without further outlay, the Directors feel con vinced that the establishment is one of the most perfect of its kind in existence. Relying also greatly upon the very confident expression of opinion which they obtain from gentlemen eminent in the trade as to the eligibility of the concern, the Directors sincerely believe the prospects of the Company to be more glowing than they are willing to express. Mr. Frederick Hodges, the proprietor and vendor, in re tiring, desires to do so in order to relax in his application without altogether losing his interest in the business ; and whilst he stipulates to retain a large share in the capital of the Company, he does not require to be paid in the sense of goodwill for the reputation and business of his house otherwise than out of the balance of net profits hereafter realised in excess of dividends at the rates of 10 and 15 per Cent. to the Shareholders. Tho prieeiobepaldbY the Company for this celebrated business, therefore, is simply the amount of valuation in respect of the premises and plant, as settled by the Com pany's valuer. It is well understood, not only throughout the trade, but also by the public at large, that Distillers, like Brewers, command an extension of business in proportion to the facilities and support which they can extend to the trado_; and this circumstance expl a i ns th e h eav y cap it a l absorbed in successful establishments of the kind, and the Peculiar fitness of such business for the employment of a joint-stock Company's resources. The Directors have power to allot one thousand shares fully paid up.

The want of a public Steam Company, and a regular lino between London and the East, is much felt, and there has been an urgent call for the formation of this Company, which there is every reason to believe will receive the cor dial support and co-operation of a large body of the mer chants in the trade. A provisional contract has boon made, by which the Di-- rectors are enabled to secure, on unusually favourable terms, five now steamers admirably adapted for this trade. These steamers have been only recently launched, and having been built s • cially for the Mediterranean trade, there will be no . ;ulty in commencing operations at once. The purchaeMoney will be paid partly in cash, and partly in shares of the Company. The following aro the steamers referred to, viz. _ Tons Horse power Burthen (nominal). The King of the Greeks 2,200 300 Count Sponneck 2,200 300 Coumoundouros 1,500 175 The Greek Eptanissos It is proposed to run a lino of steamers of 2,200 tons burthen each, and 300 horse power nominal, from London to Gibraltar, Sicily, Malta, the lonian Islands, and the principal ports of Greece, Turkey, the Black Sea, the Islands of tho Archipelago, the Coast of Syria, and gypt. Competent Agents will be at once appointed in the several ports, whom it is proposed to remunerate by a commission on the freights they secure, in lieu of a fixed salary, there by saving the Company from outlay, and stimulating the activity of the Agent. All the vessels belonging to the Company will be regis tered in England, and will sail under the British flag. Branch steamers of 1,125 tons burthen, and 180 horse power nominal, working to 500 horse power combined, will run, in conjunction with the largo steamers, between all the principal ports of the Mediterranean, and Malta, Greece, Turkey, Asia Minor, the Coast of Syria, and Egypt; carrying the passengers, mails, and goods of those coun tries, and performing duties similar to those of the Austrian Lloyd's and the Messagerie Imperials, but with far greater advantages. The exports and imports of London with the East being considerably larger than those of Trieste or Marseilles, this intermediate line will serve to bring, by trans-shipment from several of the smaller towns, the goods consigned to the mercantile firms in England. The trans-shipment of all those goods for London will be made at the Pirams, where every facility, advantage, and accommodation, is promised to the Company by the Greek Government, the Company being graciously placed by order of H.M. the King of the Greeks under his special protection. Thera are several seaports on the coasts of Grew, and of Turkey in Europe, and in the islands of the ArchiPelago (particularly in Candia Rhodes, Cyprus, Chio, Samos,, a nd Mytilene), as well as the coasts of Asia Minor and Syria, each of which exports from 150 to 1,000 tons per annum of dried fruits, dry wood, tobacco, wool, cotton, silk, vale rian, grain of all kinds, and many other articles. The merchants at these ports NOW ship their goods, in the ab sence of steam communication, at enormous expense and risk, in coignes or small sailing vessels, and send them to Syria, Smyrna, Salonica, or Constantinople, to bo trans shipped and conveyed to England, the greater part being brought to Liverpool. The London market being the principal ono in the king dom, the Anglo-Groek Steam Navigation and Trading Company (Limited) will advance on the above-mentioned products part of their value, and will undertake the con signment and sale of the goods in London, at a commission, securing in this way a good freight for the steamers of this line, and obviating any detention or delay in the return of the vessels. On the other hand, as the merchants in England to whom such goods are consigned are generally ordered by the consigners to buy with the balance of the consigned goods remaining in their hands, such articles as colonials, metals, or other goods of English manufacture, and export . them to the aforesaid consigners for consumption in the interior of the count r y, th e grea t er p ar t o f th e ou t war d freight will be secured by the goods bought by the Company in this manner, and their steamers will be thus placed on the most advantageous terms for the outward cargo. The import and export trade of Groat Britain with Turkey and Greece during the last five years has assumed an extraordinary magnitude. It amounts, according to the Annual Statement of the Trade and Navigation for 1863, to £12,670,684, whilst in 1859 it was only .Z 7,772,811. The principal impediment to the expansion of the trade has hitherto been found in the want of a direct communication between the countries ; but, as the establishment of this Company will supply the deficiency, there can be no doubt but that a well-organised steam and trading company, with ample capital, will command the great portion of the trade. The average freights from the Levant to London since 1856 to the present time, that is to say, during the last nine years, have been m ore th an 5 05. per ton, and the ave rage freights outwards more than 355. per ton ; but taking at the lowest freight of 355. per ton out, and 355. home, and on a cargo of 2,200 tons wei g ht an d measurement, that the above steamers will carry, will gi ve ......£7,800 Profit from passengers .................... 100 Per voyage £7,900 Loss estimated expenses 3,694 Leaves net profit of ........................ £4,206 Taking at least three voyages par year, each steamer will produce, on the above estimate, a net profit on freight alone of £12,618, which, on the cost of ono of the above large steamers, amounting to (say) £45,000, is more than 28 per cent. It is therefore clear that if the steamers of the above Company perform (as. they can easily do) four voyages per year instead of three, the profits will be con siderably larger than the above estimate ; and this is inde pendent of the profits that the Company will reap from the commission business. _ In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment due on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, the Bankers, Brokers, and to the Manager, at the Offices of the Company, No. 7, Great Winchester-street, London.

This Company has been formed to take over the busi ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the existing constitution and capital of which are now found to be inconvenient and inadequate to its recently largely extended operations. _ _ That Compa.ny (empowered by special Acts of Parlia ment, 15 Vic., c. 56, and 22 and 23 Vic., c. 22) was founded in 1849, with a nominal capital of £250,000, in 50,000 shares of £5 each, of which 20,000 have been issued. Tho following statement, embracing the amount of Premiums since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro gressive and steadily increasing nature of its operations:— THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH. 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 The Income of this Branch for last year was £49,489 19s. 10d. The Claims in respect of the above Premiums have not exceeded 60 per cent. The business of the Company has been to provide any amount at death, from accidental causes, from £5O to £2OOO, or any amount of weekly provision during comp l ete dis ablement, from 10s. to £2O per week, or to provide a sum at death and weekly compensation together, at arranged rates of premium. The advantages to the community of this system of insurance must be apparent, and the figures above manifest the manner in which they have been ap preciated by the public. Tho capital of the Accidental Death Insurance Company has hitherto compelled the Di rectors to limit the sums insured, thus confining the ad vantages of insuring to a certain class. With the larger capital and influence of the proposed Corporation, in surances may be granted to an extent which it is believed will attract largo numbers of the higher and more wealthy classes. The Accidental Death Company commenced under writing in 1862, but the successful development of opera tions in Marine Insurance has been retarded by the inap propriateness of the name for a Marine Company. With, however, a change of title and constitution, and an ado quacy of capital, the Company will without doubt obtain that support to which it is fairly entitled. The accounts of the recently formed Marine Insurance Companies, which have exhibited good dividends and shown prospects of great value, leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that at any rate equal success will attend the efforts of the Corporation in this direction. The services of a gentleman of experience have been secured as Underwriter. The extensive machinery of agents (of which there aro between 4,000 and 5,000) is in full work, and is of groat value—indeed, the directors confidently believe that all that is required to secure a rapid increase in the existing business is a proper adaptation of modern requirements as regards capital and position. A provisional agreement has been made with the Di rectors of the Accidental Death Insurance Company, whereby the business will be handed over to the Corpora tion as from the Ist July last, with the offices, staff, and agents. For every two shares of £5 with £1 paid, held by the Proprietors of the Accidental Death Insurance Com pany, there will be given a certificate of one share of the " Accidental and Marine Insurance Corporation(Limited)" with £5 paid. This will absorb 10,000 shares ; the re maining 30,000 are offered to the public. A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the Office, No. 7, Bank-buildings, and at the Offices of the So licitors and Brokers of the Company. • Applications for Shares, accompanied by a remittance for the deposit, may be made to the Bankers, Brokers, and to the Secretary at the Chief Office, on the accompanying form.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and X . INE- R A.LOO i is given by Eir.TENNAIiT,..P.G.S., at 149, strpd. i - On Saturday the declaration of the poll took place at Newton. Tho numbers declared by the sheriff, and which showed that the Chancellor of tho Exchequer stood third on the poll, were as follows : Egerton •.. 9,171 Turner 8,806 Gladstone 8 , 786 L egh 8,476 Heywood . . 7 , 653 Thompson 7,703 The three first were declared duly elected. Mr. EGERTON and Mr. TURNER having spoken, Mr. GLADSTONE, who was received with almost unani mous cheering, said he was physically unable to make any effort to address the crowd, so that he was entirely depen dent upon its indulgence. The result tif his speaking on the Exchange flags at Liverpool, within the sound of the traffic of Dale-street and Castle-street, had been that he had left his voice behind him. (Laughter.) He then said that as politicians we live .a life of contention, because it rarely happened that in Parliament time was occupied upon ques tions involving principles as to which all were agreed. It was our happiness to live in a country whore the principles of liberty—liberty of person, of property, of belief, of speech, of petition —were better understood than they were in any country in Europe. (Cheers.) Ho rejoiced to think that the most ardent politicians, on whatever side he might range himself, had no hesitation in sharing this feeling of satis faction. If he wore asked for a political motto, in his search for one ho should be very happy to borrow it from a cha racter well known and much respected—he meant tho policeman—(laughter)—who, when he found a number of people blocking up the footpath, jogged themgently on the elbow, and said, " Just keep moving." (Cheers.) When tho w ai policeman nntd o etahbecabs everything s;tnt ee a t ehii neither" e" and rc k do o i niedpge he te o num v n in yedoa e g nur :' ot h hlvve e et u d ;h, r, e n: eb, o l aus t st m o wfwe the hhlnt l at 0 :‘ hn n u o mi s ub h eue a o as nuen , meant t e was, that the people who were there wanted to get on, and had a good reason for wanting to get on, and therefore it was a great pity they should stop. That motto, familiar as the illustration was, he ventured to think was sound in our political affairs. It was all very well to say, " Things are very prosperous; why can't you be content ?" In all human institutions there is a principle of taint and corruption —a, principle that led to decay was continually at work, and not only the popular doctrine of politics, but the truest and soundest philosophy of human nature, taught that it was the duty of public men to make it their care and study to apply to those dangerous principles a corrective in the shape of a vigilant attempt to mend, and an anxious desire to ad vance. (Cheers.) He had now said all that was necessary for the occasion —("Go on") that was, all of a controver sial character. He had observed that our life was a life of contention. It was well that in the midst of it there should be some days of repose. Mr. Egerton, Mr. Turner, and him self were not met there to fight their battles, which they would do on the floor of the House of Commons. During what remained to him of political life, he would persevere in the course which had been crowned by the approbation of the electors of South Lancashire. (Cheers.) He was as deeply indebted to them as it was possible for any man in his position to be, for he came there a wounded man, and they had healed his wound. (Cheers.) It was an active, though he had no doubt a perfectly legal, canvass of twelve months, carried on by the whole strength of a political party, which had deprived him of his seat for Oxford, and it was a cam paign of two days that had given himhis seat for South Lan cashire. He regretted that it had not boon in his power to appear oftener as a candidate, but he was thankful for the result. He could, with sincerity, and without suspicion, offer condolence to the defeated candidate, because he had been so recently in their position. (Laughter.) To the gentleman he had displaced (Mr. Legh) he offered his tribute of sincere personal respect and regard, and he would go further, and wish him a seat in Parliament on two conditions, which wore, first, that he wished it, and second, that ho did not displace any of his (Mr. Gladstone's) colour. (Laughter.) Ho regretted the defeat of Mr. Heywood, and expressed a fervent hope and confident expectation that Mr. Thompson would soon•find a seat. (Cheers.) Ho was sure that his Iron. colleagues who were too far off to shake the hand that he offered them—(cheers)—would desire that they should cordially co-operate where they could, and where they could not that they should fight out their differences like men. (Cheers.) He thanked the committees who had worked for " a ghost of a candidate." (Laughter.) He thanked the Liberal voters, and he thanked those who had kindly and generously, whatever might have been their original party associations, thought fit, in the exercise of their elec toral privilege, to come to the support of one who did not wear the same colours, to assure to him the seat ho now honourably held. lie had also to thank those who had been opposed to him for their kindness, forbearance, and moderation. The hardest thing said of Lim in the local press, as far as he knew, was that ho was an " erratic poli tician." (Laughter.) lie had been accustomed to hear that said of him all his life, and having for the greater part of a quarter of a century held office, and been thrown into the closest relations with men of the sharpest senses and perceptions, he would advise a man who was "erratic" not to try his erratic propensities upon either the trade or the finances of the country. (Cheers.) Whether the epithet were just or not, ho referred to it only to show how tenderly even his adversaries had been disposed t• deal with him. He trusted that the recollection of the fact would go with him to the Parliament, where they had sent him ; and if ho felt disposed, in the heat of conflict, to think unkindly of one who sat against him, the recollection of this election might tend to revive in his breast a quality which was of as much value in political as in private life—the quality of Christian charity. (Cheers.) They would 'Art in Chris tian charity that day. Some called themselves Liberals, others Conservatives. The Conservatives contended that they were the better Liberals, the Liberals that they were the better Conservatives. Ho would not say the Liberals were right. They thought they proved their case by pointing to the condition of the country, the sentiments of the people, and the present relations between class and class. For the moment let that remain a drawn battle ; let every man drink his own health with three times three. Honesty of purpose, manliness of proceeding, straightforwardness, truth, and energy, had hitherto been, and he trusted they would continue to be, the distinguishing characteristics of his countrymen. As for our battles, let them fight them fairly ; as for our agreements, let us never cease to re member and rejoice that we had a common country, a glorious country, a noble country, a country with a past that had given us one of the most distinguished places in history, and a country with 'a future before which he pre sumed and hoped that even her past, he was going to say, might pale ; but, at any rate, he had a right to say that future generations of Englishmen would not be unworthy of those who had gone before. Let all in their stations labour to that noble end, and we should have no causo to blush either for that which we had received from our fathers or for that which we hoped to hand down to our children. (Loud cheers.) A local band preceded the right hon. gentleman to the hustings, and from it to the railway station, playing the " Conquering Hero," and other airs, and the train by which Mr. Gladstone travelled left the station amid loud cheering. Several members of Parliament were present. MR. GLADSTONE'S SECOND ADDRESS. After leaving the hustings Mr. Gladstone went to the Legh Arms Hotel, whore he was presented with an address by the printers in the employ of Messrs. M'Corquodale and Co. Mr. GLADSTONE, in accepting the address, said—Mr. Ball, Mr. Palmer, and gentlemen, I am very thankful that the arrangements of to-day have been mdde, and likewise that the indulgence of the great meeting out of doors was so great as to leave me a little fragment of time and a little fragment of voice to receive the remarkable address which has just been presented to me. (Cheers.) I must first of all refer to the closing words of that address, which are very affecting words. I do not think it unseemly to introduce them on occasions of this description. We do not meet very often—it is not a matter of everyday occurrence. My time and pursuits of life aro of such a nature as only on rare occasions to permit me to come in contact with the great bodies of my fellow -countrymen, in consequence of the absorbing nature of the public business in the present age, and therefore I do most cordially thank you—(cheers —for the high source to which you have referred in this address as the only source of good. The labours that wo do in this life, how little they are ! How much cause we have to be ashamed in looking back upon them that they were not better ; and how deeply convinced we must all feel from the marks which it has pleased Providence to impress upon our daily experience, that this, for us all, old and young alike, is but a school where wo are to learn our lesson, and that there is a place beyond the grave where it will be proved whether we have learnt it, or whether we have not. (Hear.) Well now, gentlemen, passing from that subject, that solemn subject, I cannot help referring particularly to two of the phrases which I find in this ad dress. You kindly give me credit for "a pure and honest wish to do good for the moral and social improvement and elevation of the working classes in this great nation, as well as acting justly and consistently to all those in a higher sphere of life." (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I can not say that this sentiment, coming from you—lam now addressing you as an assembly of working men, and I pre sume that most of you correspond to that .description— (hear)—l cannot say that receiving that declaration from you in the slightest degree surprises me. (Cheers.) On the contrary, it is in thorough conformity with what. I hoar from the working classes whenever 1 am placed in contact with them in all parts of the country. (Renewed cheers.) They are just as sensible as anyone can be, and I trust and believe they will always remain so, that what is called mere levelling, that is to say, pulling down what is above us, is a mistaken and abominable doctrine—(loud cheers)— which never really implies a genuine and earnest desire to lift up what is below us. (No, and cheers.) But the work ing men of this country, the working artisans of this coun try, have many who are below them as well as many who are above them. You know that society is, as you have gone on to describe it, like a well built, well ordered fabric. Many stones, many timbers, many doors, many windows, many parts and portions of that fabric, all having their separate offices, some of them larger, and some smaller, but all built and framed by the mind of the builder to servo one common purpose; and that if you are to suppose the good is to be done by bestowing unjust and exceptional favour upon some one portion of that building, or upon some one class or clique in society, it. is the ruin of the whole. (Cheers.) It is not to the benefit of that class. The interest of every class is to have justice done to all. (Loud applause.) Gentlemen, that is the test to which lam sure you are disposed, and to which I am sure you will always determine to bring the deeds of the public men of this country. (Cheers.). Well, then, gentlemen, you go on to say that the public man ought to bo regarded as an archi tect. That is the best answer to give to any who suppose that the profession of popular principles makes a man liable to be called a destructive. Certainly, gentlemen, an archi tect is not a destructive—(cheers)—and a destructive is not an architect. An architect may find it his duty, as you go on to point out, to pull down what is old—not because it is old, not a bit. if it is the fine old architecture of the best times, he reveres it the more because it is old; and the good architect you will often find passionate in his admi ration of what is old, provided it is good as well as old. But if it has become worthless as well as old, and if, being worthless, it attempts to shelter itself under the pretext of its being old, then the architect says :—" No, I can not listen to that. I must pull you down," and so ho pulls down that which is old if it is worthless. (Cheers.) But why does he pull it down? Not for the purpose of pulling down, but for the sake of building up that which is bettor in its place. (Cheers) Building up is the business of the politician, the business of the Minister, the business of the member of Parliament, my business as a knight of the shire, now that I have been elected a member for the southern division of the county of Lancaster— (cheers)--your business as citizens, your business as elec tors, your business in every opinion you give on public affairs. (Cheers.) There have been countries, unhappily, where destruction would, from the course of affairs having gone wrong and obstinately awry—and such perhaps was the state of France before what was known as the Great Revolution—where a great sweeping work of destruction was necessary almost, perhaps absolutely necessary, before any good could be done, where the defects and disease had been incurable. This is not our case. Our business is chiefly to build. I admit, it is to repair ; but, besides repairing, it is to extend—it is to raise higher up—it is to spread wider and wider. This is the nature of the function to which public men in England are called. It is a happy duty, gentlemen. They are supported in it by the indulgent favour of their countrymen. I will say that nothing has struck me more in the course of a long public life than the general fairness—aye, the more than fairness, the ordinary and usual generosity of the judgments that are passed, not by one class or by another class, but by the whole commu nity, on the character and conduct of public men. lam certain of this, that if sometimes it has happened to me to think that in one or another particular I was unjustly con demned, the occasions have been ten times more numerous when I have felt that I was unjustly and excessively praised, and far in advance of what I deserved. Well, gen tlemen, this is the work that has been before us, and I now cannot help saying one word to you upon your parti cular duty and business. (Hear, hear.) It is one in which I feel a special interest. Ono of the sharpest passages in my political life—perhaps I ought to say the sharpest of them all—was that which was connected with the repeal of, that paper duty in 1860-1. I k now not how it was, but that was a period when many friends seemed to become lukewarm—many who said before, at least, that they were friends, seemed to become lukewarm—and when opponents seemed to become more confident ; I assure you it was com mon to mo to sit in the House of Commons and not only to hear myself called rash, reckless, and profligate for sacri ficing uselessly the revenues of the country, but to hear it said that the paper duty did no harm to anybody, restricted no trade, was no burden upon commerce, that the addi tional dearness of paper could not have any effect of a sen sible description, and in fact, gentlemen, I must use a strong word, all the trash and all the nonsense which, if it had been good for anything, was perfectly good against the repeal of the corn laws, against tho repeal of the naviga tion laws, against the repeal of the soap duties, against every good measure which has been carried of that kind— , the whole of this trash came out reburnished and t done up again against the repeal of the paper duty. (Laughter and cheers.) And now, gentlemen, what have we seen ? Why, we have seen, and I now acknowledge it with thankfulness in the face of God and man, that the repeal of the paper duty has been a greater blessing oven than lanticipated. (Hoar.) I did gentlemen, to the best of my ability, fight a hard battle for its repeal, (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And I find now that not only in its repeal was there involved the liberation of a groat branch of trade—a branch of trade which is already great, and which, I believe will, from year to year, become much greater; but there was involved a seed of ' social and moral good that has sprung up with rapidity, and a harvest, such as, I confess, I had hardly been san guine enough to anticipate. We said to-day, on the hust jugs, that Liberal policy was Conservative. Look at the daily Penny Press. What is the daily Penny Press ? The daily Penny Press is an organ that finds its way into the house of the working man—(hoar, hear) —keeps him faith fully informed without the least disparagement to other classes—for the daily Penny Press is not destructive nor licentious more than any other Press, if possible, it is loss —and, keeps the working man daily informed of all the current public transactions. (Loud cheers.) Why, what is that, but creating a new interest in the mind of the working man—an interest which is refreshed from day to. day ? What is that but making him feel that he has become, in a new sense, a citizen of his country—that his country owns, in a new manner, his share in public affairs ? lie feels it—his bosom enlarges with the sense of it ; and in that bosom, so enlarged, there is a continual growth and increase of love and attachment to his country, to the Queen, and to the institutions of his country. (Loud cheers.) Naval and Military Intelligence. The iron screw steamship Achilles, 26, Captain E. W. Vansittart, the iron-cased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Capt. George 0. Wines, C. 8., the screw steam frigate Constance, • 39, Captain Edward K. Barnard, and the iron-cased cupola ship Royal Sovereign, 5, Capt. Frederick A. Herbert, left Plymouth Sound on Saturday evening for Portland. The Turkish frigate Osman Ghazy, Capt. Arib Bey, which arrived in Plymouth Sound from Greenock on Friday, is appointed to go into Hamoaze to-morrow to r eceive her armament. One of her Armstrong guns, sent by the South De von Railway, weighs 12 tons. The Turkish Ambassa dor, M. Musurus, i s expected at Plymouth to inspect the frigate. The Austrian screw steam frigate Frederick, Capt. Whiplinger, which has been at Plymouth in conse quence of the Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society, was under orders on Saturday to leave the Sound for Cherbourg. The French ship of war Magenta, Capt.. Lebris, the frigate La Flandre, Capt. Bachine, and the gun boat Ariel, Commander Poirier d'llauterive, which have also been at Plymouth during the last week in consequence of the Exhibition, left the Sound 'by the Eastern Channel on Saturday evening for Cherbourg. The Octavia, 35, screw frigate, Capt. Charles F. Hillyar, received orders early on Saturday morning, to sail from Spithead, in company with the screw frigate Liverpool, 35, Capt. Rowley Lambert, for Torbay, the rendezvous of the experimental squad ron of frigates ordered to assemble there, and after wards proceed on a trial of their machinery, under the command of Captain Hillyar. Previous to leaving Spithead, however, the officials at Portsmouth were directed to take the Octavia over the measured mile in;Stokes Bay, with half boiler-power, and add the results to their report on the ship's trial with full boiler-power made on the previous day, a report of which was given in The Sun of Saturday. The ship was accordingly, as early as the tide served, taken from Spithead and given four runs over the mile, the mean of the four runs giving the ship a speeci•of 7.754 knots; maximum revolutions of the engines, 41; minimum revolutions, 40. Immediately after the trial was concluded, and the officials had been disembarked, the Octavia steamed out to the southward on her way to Torbay, the Liverpool at the same time beating out under all plain sail, with the wind moderately light from S.S.W. South of the Isle of Wight the Octavia lifted her screw, and, setting her canvas, joined the Liverpoolin a friendly trial of sailing qualities down Channel. The Oc tavia's. indicated horse-power on her full-boiler power trial of Friday, as worked out from her in dicator diagrams, was 2363-76, or nearly five times _ ~- -c_.c::: i• . ,--s;')- -- , the nominal power of the enginesX ° : , The M grdee'ot expansion as shown on the same dihka*- - was car- ,L, tied out to a very unusual extent. At the. greatest - J3 amount of steam on the full boiler-power trials steam was cut off at one-third stroke. In the half boiler-power trial on SaturClay steam was cut off between one-fifth and one-eighth stroke. The ge neral working of the ship's machinery was in the highest degree satisfactory. It was the general opi nion of the officers conducting and witnessing the trial that no two-cylinder engines in any of her Ma jesty's ships ever passed the centre so noiselessly and uniformly as the three-throw cylinders of the Octavia have done throughout their trial. if any fault can be found with the boilers, it is that they are rather too small for the engines. The addition of another furnace on each side of the stoke-hole would have been ample for all emergencies, and if the Messrs. Maudslay were now to build a similar set of engines and boilers they would no doubt give this additional space. In fact, in their endeavours to meet one of the requirements sought for with the new engines—a reduction of boiler space—the boun dary line appears to have been just, yet only just, stepped over, and rather too little has been given, as we have already said, for the engines' wants under ftcoreuiarrlt-foot ufa i o n ost eir s c e umstances.

The machinery of the Octavia, thusa, and Constance now about to enter upon their compet i tive trial, was designed and supplied by the firms of Maud s l ay an d If. Co., Penn and Sons, and Randolph and Elder, and, being built for special purposes, the engines have in all three instances special appliances. One remark, therefore, will apply in a degree to all, and in its truth possibly all three firms will concur. Marine engines cannot be too simple in all their parts, and the fewer the details the better for their efficiency. By a typographical error, the time occupied by the Octavia in steaming over the measured mile in her full boiler-power trial was given in the report of the trial in The Sun of Saturday in hours and minutes. It should have been given in minutes and seconds. On Saturday the chartered East Indiaman Mala bar, which has been taken by the Indian Council for the conveyance of detachments of various cavalry and infantry corps to India, embarked the following troops from Government quay, Gravesend, for Kitt.- rachee, under the direction of Brigade Major W.

The whole of the troops at Aldershot, under the command of Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefather, K.C.8., turned out for a field-day shortly after 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Field-Marshal the Duke of Cambridge arrived soon after the troops were in position, and put them through a variety of manoeuvres, which were performed with the utmost regularity, steadiness, and precision. The troops afterwards marched past, the infantry in quarter-distance column in quick time, the Royal Horse Artillery and cavalry in open column of bat teries and squadrons at a trot, and the Royal En gineer Train in column of sections at a walk, As the regiments successively passed the saluting base the Duke called the commanding officers to his side and complimented them upon the satisfactory appearance and efficient condition of their respective commands.
