PROSPECTI7S. The Bank has acquired the banking, bullion, and ex change business of tho late London, Hamburg, And Cont'- . nontal Exchange Bank, by w hich it h as secured an awisr sive and profitable connection, embracing a large number of current and deposit accounts and foreign agencies. Under the agreement for taking over the premises, busi ness, goodwill, and assets of the London, Hamburg, and Continental Exchange Bank, the shareholders in that bank are entitled to subscribe for 10,000 shares in the General Exchange Bank (Limited), credited with £8 per share, being an exchange of two £5O shares, £8 paid, for ono £lOO share, £25 paid. Should the assets of the former bank not realise the sum to be credited, the deficiency to be made up by such shareholders. In addition to the existing arrangements, laegotiations are in progress for amalgamating other banks with this Company, and a concession is promised by a foreign Go vernment which will carry with it important banking privileges. _ _ - The Bank has, since the issue of the original prospectus, concluded arrangements for the purchase of the old and highly -respectable banking business of Messrs. Scicluna and Sons, of Malta, as also that of Messrs. Borg and Co., of Alexandria. The exchange and bullion department of a banking busi ness is well known to be most lucrative ; and in this par ticular branch the Bank, from its extensive existing con nections, possesses important advantages. The Directors have sccured the services, as manager, of P. Dixo n -If ar tl an d , E sq., a gentleman of considerable banking experience.

'RICE Yet , sohns_ allowed thein. They were finally condemned on Thursday, and they were hanged on Friday —a quick despatch indeed, and a most cruel one. This, however, was martial law, and it overrode the civil authorities. On the morning of the fatal day a brave attempt was made to stay the execution of the unhappy Mrs. Surratt. A certain Judge Wylie --to his honour be it said —granted a writ of habeas corpus upon representations made by Mrs. Sur ratt's counsel, and the writ was actually served upon the general who had charge of the executions. But in America there is a higher power than the law, and that power appears to be the President of the Republic. He put his veto upon delay, and flung mercy to the winds. " I do hereby especially suspend this writ," he wrote to Gene ral Hancock, " and direct that you proceed to execute the order heretofore given you." From this there was no appeal. Less formal attempts to obtain a respite for Mrs. Surratt failed as signally, for the President, who was deaf to a writ of habeas corpus, would scarcely listen to the prayers of an almost frantic daughter. Poor Miss Surratt, a young lady of 22 years of age, left her mother's cell in the early dawn of the day of execution, and went tearfully to the White House. But Andrew John son was well guarded against entreaties. The wretched girl ran the gamut of all his family, but no one connected with the President could be seen on that day. Backwards and forwards from the Penitentiary to the White House went this tearful appellant, till the fatal hour arrived, when, kissing - her pinioned mother, the hysterical farewell was accomplished. " Good-bye, take care of Annie," said Mrs. Surratt to a gentleman who visited her in her cell, and the last care the mother left her daugh ter was in the cold care of prison stones. But even this was to be outdone by the scene in the court yard. The prison and the enclosure were guarded by cordons of troops, as though an attempt at rescue was anticipated ; and, in the midst of this military display stood the gallows, a horizontal beam 20ft. in length, supported by three props. From the beam four ropes dangled, and the whole machine was guarded on three sides by a body of soldiers. In the hollow square thus formed were the reporters, a phOlOgrapher, and six artists sent by the illustrated papers. Marching from the Penitentiary door to this champ des morts, came the condemned; Mrs. Suratt between two Catholic priests first, and the three male culprits following. On a rudely con structed stair they walked to the platform or drop, where, seated in chairs, and with the noose dangling before their eyes, they listened to the sentence of the court-martial, read to them by General Hart raupt from beneath the shelter of an umbrella. The demeanour of the unhappy creatures was in three instances sad enough. Mrs. Surratt moaned occasionaly, but checked outward signs of emotion whenever the crucifix was placed before her. Her face was pale and her lips trembled nervously. Harrold wept without intermis sion ; Adzerodt " groaned and whined as con tinually ;" but Powell was firm and unyielding to the last. This was their bearing as they listened to the finding and sentence of the court-martial, somewhat unnecessarily read to them while they sat in their awful position behind the dangling ropes. The reading over, the pinioning commenced. It was a necessary operation, no doubt, but brutality might, in the case of Mrs. Surratt, at least, have been avoided. The reverse of this happened. " A Federal officer grasped Mrs. Surratt's dress, and twisted a rope tightly about her limbs, so tightly indeed that she was unable to stand, and sank back wards." This Federal officer had surely graduated in the shambles, so well did he " throw" the un happy lady. But she did not complain. She merely murmured a request that she might be " supported," and thus with her three fellow sufferers she went to her account. This is the first batch of victims claimed by the Northern Nemesis ; and against the justice done upon three of them we have nothing to say, except that it was done with shameful and indecent haste. But as to Mrs. Surratt there is much more to say. Her sex should have secured her some con sideration, and the fact that grave doubts exist as to her being guilty of anything more than indiscre tion should have saved her from the gallows. She gave shelter to Wilkes Booth, and she may in some indirect way have assisted his plans. But surely the manes of Abraham Lincoln would hrsve been satis fied without the hanging of a widow woman in a court-yard full of soldiers, and by the side of three admitted culprits. A little more time at least for this poor creature might have been allowed. She asked for " four days' time to prepare for death"— that was all ; and it was denied her. " You shall die, and you shall die within 24 hours !" That was the immutable sentence passed upon a woman by Andrew Johnson, and carried out roughly by his subordinates. To Englishmen this looks like bru tality, not justice; fiendishness, not magisterial so lemnity and deliberation. It is the red, eager hand of a new " terror," grasping at life with the sa vageness of brutal instijicts. America should be ashamed of such bloodthirsty rage—such indecent precipitancy; and if America is not ashamed, Eng land, that protested honestly against the crime of assassination when Booth struck down Abraham Lincoln in Ford's theatre, is both ashamed and dis gusted. 0 ursense of wholesome justice is as strong as any " sympathies" we possess. But this taking of life by express speed is not justice, and cannot be received as such. It is merely vengeance in the case of Mrs. Surratt—Lynch-law rudely performed by the agency of -supposed civilisation, " Give me four days' time in which to prepare for death," was the prayer of a woman who, even in Washington, is not held to be proven guilty. " Away with her !" is the reply of Andrew Johnson ; and so the unhappy creature is hobbled and thrown like a sheep, and strangled like a proved murderer, at twenty-four hours' notice !Itis a disgusting story —a black page in the American annals ; and it helps to turn from the men who nave made it the sympathy of all Christian communities.

MARINE DEPAILTXENT-21, Threadneedle-street, POS This Company has been formed PECTUS to . take over the busi ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the existing constitution and capital of which aro now found to be inconvenient and inadequate to its recently largely extended operations. That Company (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. The following statement, embracinc , the amount of Premiums since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro gressive and steadily increasing nature of its operations:- - • THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH. 11885501 ....... ....... .. .... £1,228 1 6 1857 £25,530 3 10 ,A 668 15 7 1858 33,260 0 0 1852 ............ 6,326 2 5 1859 1853 ............ 10,752 - 3 9 1860 1851 ......... :: . 15,103 13 9 1861 1 1 8 8 5 5 6 5 ............ 18,059 10 8, 1862 41,541 15 9 ........... 21,762 3 2' 1863 The I ncome of this Branch for last year was £49,489 19s. 10d. The Claims in respect of the above Premiums have not exceeded GO per cent. The business of the Company has been to provide any amount at death, from accidental causes, from £5O to £2OOO, of a ny amount of weekly provision during complete 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. The capital of the Accidental Death Insurance Company has hitherto compelled the Di rectors to liniit 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 00 granted to an extent which it is believed clwill sattract largo num b ers.of the higher and more wealthy 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 ade quacy of capital, the Company will without doubt obtain that support to which it is fairly entitled. The acc oun t s o f th e recen tl y formed Marine Insurance C ompanies, which have exhibited good dividends a n d s hown 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.

WIMBLEDON-COMMON, Thursday Evening. The absorbing topic of this day's proceedings was the great contest between eight each of the picked men of England, Scotland, and. Ireland, the latter competing for the first time, for the honorary pos session of the Elcho Shield. The change which had taken place to admit eight members who were na tives of Ireland into the competition naturally in vested the contest with more than ordinary interest, and after the almost impromptu team which had been got up, and the manner in which they acquitted themselves for the possession of the International Enfield Trophy, there was a general hope that they might become the possessors of the prize, although the realisation of that hope was almost something more than doubtful. The Irish volunteers, since they have been encamped this year on the common, by their kindly nature, their sparkling wit, and their truly genial and cordial welcome, have gained the good opinions of all who have had the happiness to meet with them ; and it is generally admitted that Major Leech and Captain O'Connor have done a great deal to raise the London Irish Volunteers to a position which it never before occupied since it was raised. Next year that feeling will receive a further extension, when the splendid prize given by Irishmen resident in London, and at the head of the subscription list is the Marquis of Donegall, will be thrown open at this meeting to all English competitors, as an earnest of the good-will of Irish men to the volunteer movement of this country ; and the only hope that remains is, which will doubt less be realised, that there will be entries of such a number as shall reflect honour upon the donors and those who may be fortunate enough for the first time to have their names inscribed on the Challenge Plate of Ireland. The Scotch and English have already been honoured with the possession of the Elcho Shield, twice by England and once by Scot land, but it is one of the pleasing characteristics of the volunteer movement that in the various contests which take place, whether the side be winning or losing, there is no angry or jealous feeling, but solely one that the best team may win. The con test was divided into three ranges of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, 15 shots each at these different ranges. As a natural consequence the three countries fired from separate points, and the business of the day egan at half-past nine o'clock, at 800 yards. The following is the score at 800 yards : Captain }Ieak % ENGLAND. Colonel Raiford Mr. Martin Smith ... Mr. Fletcher Mr. Bland Lieutenant Purchas Cunliffo Mating •.• ... ... - 51 SCOTLAND. E.

It would be scarcely necessary to go through the different scores at this point in detail, as they will be found below, but at 900 yards the Scotch party made a small increase to their majority of 6, the ' respective numbers being at this range—Scotlandi 339 ; England, 333 ; and Ireland, 298—giving Scotland a majority of 6. The next range of 1,000 yards then became the object of the greatest inte rest, in which every shot was watched from the re spective firing points with the utmost anxiety. The shooting of Captain Heaton was scarcely equal to what it has been on former occasions, and the same remark will apply to Colonel Halford, who was evi dently suffering from ill-health, and his physical condition showed that the steady aim for which he has been so long celebrated has been seriously impaired. In the 1,000 yards range he missed the target three times, and the other points he made were but a faint representation of his prowess of former times. It is to be hoped th a t t i me and care will soon restore him to his f ormer condition. Mr. Fletcher, a most careful shot, contributed 48; and Lieut. Purchas, 49 ; the total number of marks for the 15 shots each being 343. The Scotch were most ably represented by C aptain Ross and his sons, Edward and Colin, and nothing could exceed the splendid shooting of the Earl of Aberdeen, who made bull's-eyes in such succession that with him it ceased to be a novelty, and when that honourable score was not made, it proved rather the exception than the rule. After one of the most spirited con tests ever witnessed at these meetings, th e p a l m o f : victory was awarddd to England, th e tota l score o f the three ranges being as follows 800 Yds. 900 Yds, 1000 Yds.

TlMES.—Yesterday wil-1 be — memorable in the pre sent political struggle as having witnessed some of the most imp or t ant and sharply-con contested of the Elections. Th oug h on the whole there is no l u o r s s r to the Liberal party, yet we will not dissemble gret that the issues of the day were not more favour able. The Elections in each of the three parts of the United Kingdom have hitherto been so uniformly on the Liberal side that there was good reason for hoping that the polling of yesterday would add con siderably to the Liberal majority. The result is that nothing has been lost or gained. The- Conservatives have made a rally at the last, and, although unable to turn the tide of Liberal success, have succeeded for the moment in stemming it. The most serious loss is that of Berkshire, wher:Mr. Benyon, Colonel Lind say, and Sir C.Russell have been returned, securing the whole representation to the Conservatives. Th e defeat of Mr. Walter and Mr. Bouverie, who, with Mr. Benyon, represented the county in the last Par liament, is no doubt the greatest reverse which has been suffered by the Liberal party during the pre sent elections. The strength of the Tory party in Berkshire, the long and energetic preparations which were made by them for the contest, and the vigour with which it was prosecuted at the last may be con sidered sufficiently to account for the result. But the principal came was the ill-advised attempt to secure the return of three Liberals. In a county purely agricultural, and comprising so large a body of voters pledged to the Conservative cause, the at tack on the one Conservative seat was impolitic, and has ended in disaster. The Liberals are en titled tn. return two members, but to grasp at the whole representation is to make an effort which, in the present s t a t e o f part i es, is plainly beyond ieir powers. Theymust accept their defeat with patience, and wait until another election gives them a chance of retrieving what they have lost. The polling in South Lancashire has resulted in the return of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but his colleagues in the representation will be opponents of the Govern ment to which he belongs. We should, of course, have rejoiced at the return of Messrs. Heywood and Thompson, but as so complete a v i c t ory has not been accomplished we will be content for the present with what has been gained, and thank Mr. Gladstone for having, at any rate, balanced the Tory Victory at Oxford by taking one of the seats which his op ponents possessed in the last Parliament. It I may be that if the two other Liberal candidates had been men' of more moderate opinions they would have succeeded. A large part of the constituency, made up as it is of town-suburbs and of country, occupies politically the debateable ground which divides the two English parties, and will rather give their votes to a man who stands on the border-land of opinion than to very pronounced members of either party. A strange circumstance connected with the election is that, fierce as was the contest, a less number of votes was polled for the highest can didate than for Mr. Turner in 1861. When the third scat was given to the Division that gentleman and Mr. Cheetharn contested it, and the Conservative candidate obtained no less than 9,714 votes. On this occasion Mr. Egerton, who heads the poll, has but 9,189. Mr. Gladstone stands second, having thus wrested one of the most important seats in the kingdom from his opponents after a two days' canvass. It is a wonderful proof of the power of genius and reputation that a man may present him self to a vast constituency, and by two or three speeches undo the effect of whole months of can vassing on the part of his opponents. Mr. Gladstone had the votes of the whole body of Liberals, and obtained in addition the support of a small section of the Conservatives, who take a pride in seei ng their county rep resente d b y a man .of eminence. He was also, we doubt not, aided by the Catholic votes in return for those opinions which have been the cause of his failure at Oxford. We may con gratulate Lancashire on having secured such a representative, and the Liverpool Tory has as much reason to be satisfied ,with it as the Manchester Liberal, towards whom he feels so strong a political antipathy. The benefits of reduced taxation descend alike upon the Tory and the Whig, and a dimi nished expenditure will give comfort both to Catholic and Protestant. The work which Mr. Gladstone has done, and in which his electioh for Lancashire will enable him to persevere, will give wealth to the traders and farmers who yesterday voted against him, as well as to the stanchest manu facturer who supported him. His talents and ac quired knowledge are the property of the nation, - and it is the interest of every one, without distinc tion of party, that he should have a field for their exercise. Two important contests took place yes terday without making any change in the represen t tation. The Conservatives have held their ground in West Kent after a severe fight. 'We hoped, but hardly expected, to win one of the two seats. It is difficult to understand what may be called the distribution of political opinion. Why one district should be Conservative and another Liberal, and that from conviction and independently of influence of local magnates, is almost inexplicable. Yet there are in the country Whig and Tory regions almost as definable as the chalk or the coal formations. - West Kent is Tory, and is the most important con stituency of that faith in the South of England. It would require some strong impulse in favour of a particular man or measure to bring over to a tibe ral candidate that proportion of waverers which turns the scale in such contests. Yesterday the Liberals, though well represented, were unable to reverse the decision given at the last election. Though they fought a good battle, they were beaten. In North Durham a similar contest took place, but there the late members and present candidates were Liberals, and it was sought to drive one of them from the representation. The attempt failed, though the Conservatives are said to have been very san guine of success. In the North Riding the second victory was won, which enables the Liberals to close the day without a loss. Here Mr. Milbanke headed the poll, and Mr. Morritt, who had been returned chiefly as an enemy to the Malt Tax, was defeated. South Lancashire and the North Riding accordingly compensate for the two seats lost in Berkshire. have It has not been so fortu na t e a d ay as we could wished, but a good wor ki ng majority . t_le new Parliament is now quiet secure; even fin no further I successes be obtained. There is one election, how ever, to which we can point with satisfaction. Sir John Simeon has been returned for the Isle of Wight, defeating Sir Charles Locock, and retaining the representation for the Liberal party. Sir John Simeon is a Roman Catholic, and has been assailed with all the weapons familiar to the controversialists of Exeter-hall or an Ulster platform. lie has also, t it is said, had, strangely enough,_o . struggle_ against the influence of a brother Catholic, who held that he was not sufficiently devoted t o the faith. It is difficult to conceive a candidate_ winning under suc h conditions, but the people of the Isle of Wight have probably judged- . that one who provok es suc h oppos it e censures is likely to be a ha rm l ess an d moderate li man, andhave elected him. Th us th ere are three Roman Catholic members returned by English constituencies to the new Parliament, two of them after severe contests. This wise liberality I of the constituencies will, we believe, have the best effect, as it will take away the sense of injustice I which has heretofore oppressed the English Catholics. It is a good thing that in a Parliament which may have to discuss many questions connected with the representation it can no longer be said that a million of English Catholics are not represented at all. HERALD. —Great crimes are committed in the name of Liberty, and in the name of Justice deeds are perpetrated which make men shudder. Let any one read the full account of the first batch of executions at Washington, as described by our New York correspondent, and these facts will appear in all their repulsiveness and ghastly horror, for seldom has a nation avenged itself with such haste, in such cold blood, and with such unmerciful stern ness, as Federal America has done by way of taking blood for blood, and iu taking it in huge excess. We have to look back to the darkest annals of revolu tionary France to find a parallel to the scene in the courtyard of the old Penitentiary at Washington, where, on the 7th inst., three wretched men, and one miserable swooning woman paid the penalty of their acquaintance with Wilkes Booth, or their participa tion in his crime. The Yankees are evidently a reso lute people when the helpless are in their hands, and they show no mercy either in general or in detail. d "Fiat justitia ruat ccelum" is in their mout i lis, c , n an n_ a bloody parody of it in their hands ; and t tioe demned who plead for time to repent and pre pare for the awful change from . thi t s er w n orld to the execu Lion next know not the temper of their d s make in peace ers, or they would spare breath such short shrift as Yankee hui a Lity allows them. huson signified his On the 6th instant President of E death passed upon Lewis approv'al of the sentence .

Till that approval had been made public and communicated to the prison ers, they at least had some hope, especially as th e President took a clear week to consider whether or not he should ratify the finding of the court. There fore they were scarcely prepared to die at 24 hours' notice, and to have but one day between the an nouncement of their fate and their terrible end GLASGOW, Thursday. Subjoined is the full confession made by the con demned criminal Pritchard, now lying in Glasgow Gaol for execution on the 28th inst. It will be re membered that he made another confession on the 11th inst., but that is withdrawn, and a truthful confession made. Here it is in full : Confession by Edward William Pritchard, and made in the presence of an all-seeing God, and of the Rev. T. Watson Reid, my present spiritual adviser, on the 13th day of July, 1865, at Glas gow prison, for communication to the proper authorities : " I, Edward William Pritchard, in the full pos session of all my senses, and understanding the awful position in which I am placed, do make free and open confession that the sentence pronounced upon me is just ; that I am guilty of the death of my mother-in-law, Mrs. Taylor, and of my wife, Mary Jane Pritchard ; that I can assign no motive for the conduct which actuated me beyond a species of terrible madness and the use of ardent spirits. I hereby freely and fully state that the confession made to the Rev. R. S. Oldham, on the 11th day of this month, was not true, and hereby confess that I alone, and not Mary M'Leod, poisoned my wife in the way brought out in evidence at my trial. That Mrs. Taylor's death was caused according to the wording of the indictment I further state to be true, and the main facts brought out at my trial I hereby fully acknowledge. I plead wholly and solely guilty thereto, and may God have mercy on my soul. I pray earnestly for repentance not to be repented of, and for forgiveness from Almighty God, through the intercession of our blessed Redeemer, mediator, and advocate, Jesus Ch r i s t, th e Lord and Saviour. Fellow-creatures pray for me, and let me add I am in charity with all men. I have now to record my humble thanks to all who have taken part in any way for my interest. First, to their lordships the judges for their great patience, forbearance, and careful consideration of my case, and to the gentlemen of the jury.

The electric fluid entered the knee of the horse, passed upward to the chest, divided there, and passed out at the back of the ear. Death must have been instantane ous. The poor animal was tethered by an iron chain in a field. Tho chain, no doubt, attracted the lightning.
