The Bank has acquired the banking, bullion, and ex change business of the late London, Hamburg, and Conti nental Exchange Bank, by which it has secured an exten sive and profitable connection, embracing a largo 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 Excha nge B ank, the shareholders in that 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 one £lOO share, £25 paid.

In addition to the existing arrangements, negotiations 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 la iWjly-respectable banking business of Messrs. Scicluna an 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.

Her course is to be outside the Goodwin, through what is called the Gull stream. Not much more than eight miles an hour is expected to be made, partly owing to the recent reduction of boiler power, and partly to the extreme foulness of the vessel's bottom. At such a rate of going the Great Eastern ought to be off Va.. lentia on Tuesday night, or at latest Wednesday morning. In case of any adverse winds - of strength sufficient to get up a sea, or in any way affect the vessel, -no attempt whatever will be made to steam against them, and the ship will simply be turned in to the nearest shelter. All the nautical authorities on' board, however, are confident of fine, calm weather—a confidence which is certainly warranted not only by the present aspect of the skies, but also by the high state of the barometer. The engines, both screw and paddle, which have just been turned, co ni t seem in excellent order, and if th e s hip was w h a t she used to be in her early days, it wou ld p uzz l e th e best of the stea m y ac ht s now aroun d h er to k eep h er in sight for an h our even w ith h er 25 , 000 tons on board.

He is to at tend once more on Tuesday next, and to carry out on a larger scale these illustrations of his system, which, if it be a sound one, will certainly exercise an important influence upon the storing of gunpow der in the future. For the Horatio Ross Prize Mr. Peterkin, who had previously made the fine score of 42, which was " tied" by Lord Aberdeen, increased his efforts, and raised his score to 44—that is to say, besides run ning the stipulated distance between each couple of shots, he loaded and fired 11 times, making a bull's eye in each case, and all this within the limit of five minutes. Yesterday (Sunday) Divine service was held for all those in camp at 11 o'clock a.m. The great cen tral marquee, which made such an excellent open air church on a similar occasion last year, had been split up and torn to the ground during the heavy gales that immediately preceded the :commence ment of the present meeting, and fears were enter tained lest it might be necessary to adopt in its stead another' marquee, of great length, in which hearing is attended with difficulty. The contractors (Messrs. Pigott), however, worked with such energy that the circular tent was in its place in time, and yesterday service was performed beneath its shade, with all the simple impressiveness that marks the wor ship of a military congregation. On one sat members of the force of Regulars in camp , fulfilling duties on week days at either end of the ranges ; at the opposite side were members of the police force, whose duties render them almost übiquitous ; the Central area was occupied by Volunteers, pl ace d regimentally as far as possible, and near the tem porary reading-desk and pulpit a few chairs were reserved for ladies. Outside the limits of the marquee, as far as the eye could extend through a many-coloured o ured tangle of parasols and shako s , w ith a aq; c e o e i , a dark background of hats, residents, both in the neighbourhood and in camp, listened as well as cir cumstances would permit, raising the total attend ance to some thousands. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of London from the text, I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that then shouldest keep them from the evir." (John xvii., 15.) Divine service was again celebrated at 5 o'clock, when the sermon was preached by the Rev. W. H. Haygarth, MA., incumbent of Wimbledon. A CHANCE OF COVERING FOR THE RIDING IN ROTTEN Row.—A very Ingenious plan has been submit ted by M. Janicot, a Paris architect, for a construction to serve the twofold purpose of a covered area for military evolutions, and for the Universal Exhibition in Paris of 1867. M. Janicot proposes to sustain a roof, extending over half the area of the Champs do Mars (about 50 acres), by means of one central tower and a series of iron ties. The plan has been favourably, entertained by the Imperial Com mission of the Universal Exhibition. LAND IN TILE CITY.—A piece of freehold ground occupying a site of 2,500 feet in Cannon-street, at the corner of S within's-lane, was sold on Friday at auction by Messrs. Fuller and Horsey for £30,600. ABD-EL-KADER AND THE FRENCH EMPEROR.— The Emperor was driving last evening in the Champs Elysoes. As usual, the Arabs in waiting on Abd-el-Kader were ranged in order on the roof of their hotel, and I could not holp thinking how very much astonished these sons of the desert must have been if their "intelligent inter preter " showed them the quiet, well-dressed gentleman driving a friend in a phaeton drawn by two very neat bays, as the great Emperor who has just spoken his mind on Algeria, and of .whose fame and splendour they have doubtless heard often as theyreclined in the welcome shade, and indulged.in that great luxury to an Arab, listening to a story. Abd-el-Sader is looking well, but older. I met him driving yesterday. He has been received by the Emperor and by the Ministers, and is now the lion of Paris ; unfortunately, owing to the season, ho is a lion in the desert. His followers are truculent-looking, but clean for Arabs, and seem to exercise a strange influence over the "Donna" of Paris,--Paris Letter, Tuesday. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1865.

Naval and Military Intelligence. VALETTA, July 12.—0 n the evening of the Gth inst. her Majesty's screw transport Orontes, Capt. Hire, left Malta harbour with the 2d battalion 22d Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Anderson. The battalion consisted of 30 officers, 738 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, eight ladies and six children of officers, and 50 soldiers' wives and 89 children. The Orontes also conveyed Col. Romer, R.A., Capt. Risk, R.N., Commander Harvey, R.N., Lieut. McHardy, R.N., 39 military and naval invalids, Capt. Warnes, of the Militia; Lieut. Davies, R.E., and the following ladies : Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Risk, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Cleve, land, Mrs. Waller, Mrs. Joynson, Mrs. Hillman, Mrs. Greatham, and Mrs. Bonham and sister. The Orontes will transfer the battalion at Gibraltar to the sailing transports Star of India and the Devon shire, which will convey it to Mauritius. The re mainder of her passengers will then. proceed in her to Portsmouth, and the Orontes will afterwards go to Dublin. The Tyrian screw gunboat, Lieut. Mur ray, arrived on the 6th inst. from the fleet, which she left near Cape Bon, The Racer, 11, screw cor vette, left on Saturday noon, the Bth inst., for Bar celona, with mails for the fleet. The Wanderer, 4, screw gunvessel, Commander M. C. Seymour, arrived on Sunday night, the 9th inst., from the Piraeus. She is ordered home, and will leave in a few days for England. Commander R. Sterne, recently promoted, handed over his command of the Psyche on the 7th instant to Lieutenant Blane. The late commander was much respected by all hands, and was rowed on shore with every honour that could be shown him. He proceeds by the next mail to England. In consequence of the occurrence of several cases of cholera in the garrison clean bills of health have ceased to be issued. The Psyche, Lieut. Blanc, left port on the morning of the 10th inst. to cruise outside, so as to be able to leave with the next mail for the fleet, with a clean bill of health. The English screw steamer Luxor arrived at Malta on Friday evening from Alexandria, having on board 239 passengers, but she was compelled to remain outside until Sunday morn ing, owing to the Lazaretto being full of persons performing quarantine. On Sunday a large number received pratique, and accommodation was afforded for those who had recently arrived. The Pen i nsu l ar and Oriental Company's steamers Poonah and Nyanza came in thi s morn i ng f rom Al exan d r i a. There had been on e f atal case of c h o l era on board— that of a first class passenger, who died the day after leaving Alexandria. Earl de Grey and Ripon, Secretary for War, arrived at Portsmouth dockyard on Saturday after noon, and embarked on board the Admiralty steam yacht Enchantress, to join the Lords of the Admi ralty. The yacht left Portsmouth on Saturday even ing for Plymouth, whence it is expected their Lord ships will proceed to Cherbourg. The Octavia, screw steam frigate, Capt. Charles Hillyar, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on S aturday, exchanging salutes with the Victory, fl ags hi p of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir M. Seymour, K.C.B. Sho received her shot and shell, an d will leave Spithead shortly for the West Indies, where Capt. Hillyar will hoist his broad pendant as Commodore on that station. The Royal Sovereign turret ship, Capt. Herbert, sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday for Plymouth to join the Channel squadron. The Irresistible, screw steam frigate, Captain J. Dickson, came up to Spithead on Saturday from Southampton Water. The Helicon, steam despatch vessel, was taken into dock at Portsmouth on Saturday for surveying. The Dromedary, steam storeship, Master-Com mander J. 11. Allard, arrived at Spithead on Satur day from Malta and Gibraltar, with 47 supernu meraries, invalids,:and condemned stores, and a few passengers, among whom was Mr. William Roche, assist.-surd., late of H.M.S.

Reference was made in The Sun of Saturday to ships chartered to convey troops and stores to India. The following are the paraculars :—For the convey ance of the 26th Regiment from P or t smou th t o Regiment f rom D u bli n to 1,200 t ons reg i ster, J . A . ' Delawar, 1,300 t ons , new ship, BßEolo and ay commander; a t I tl i lh e de s oC c f r ° e ts w lPiea s t4 t r e t9ll a cti kl i e n k steamer ;Melbourne, 1,686 tons, have been chartered by Messrs.

The same firm h ave also engaged to convey out in their Calcutta packet the Cossipore, le e a a v r i , ng on and the a quantity of mooring, g The Government have also engaged Messrs. Green's ships the Windsor Castle and Renown to take troops from Dublin to buoys, the 20th o inst.,r stores. Port Elizabeth, and Bombay. Gibraltar,thence In addition to th e a b ove s hi ps t h e St. Lawrence and Con fl ict will convey about GO9 to Cape Tow n , adults from Gravesend to Calcutta; the Roslin Castle, 472 troops, from Cork to Calcutta; the 114 t Regiment Winchester and Albert 'Victor, the The Wimbledon Meeting. One week's experience at Wimbledon justifies the belief that, in spite of the awkward concurrence of the general election, this will prove the most suc cessful meeting of the National Rifle Association which has yet been - held. The mere sightseers, it is true, have scarcely flocked to the Common in such numbers, as on previous occasions, a result attribut able in part, no doubt, to the circumstance that there can be this season no great Lords and Commons' match, and that even if the newly returned members of the Lower House could get together an Eleven in the coming week the fashionable world has fled from town and would not be there to see it. The marks men, however, the proper clients and supporters of the Association, have more than supplied any short comings on the part of the public by the eagerness with which they have entered for all the good things in the gift of the Council, and have employed theii , Spare-time in Pool. shooting, twenty-five per cent. of the amount contributed at these latter ranges going in every case towards the expenses of management. At this moment, exclusive of Pool tickets, sighting shots, entries for cartons, and all that constitutes the fringe of rifle-shooting finance, the mere entries for the great competitions, such as the Queen's Prize and Alexandra, bid fair to double the total amount of tickets issued at the meeting , of 1864. With all these additions to the magni tude of the gathering the facilities for conducting business are on the increase. The great difficulty of consulting the convenience of men who wish to be at Wimbledon and in the polling booth at one and the same moment of course exists, and its effects, visible at the door of Captain Page's marquee, have been already described. Another stream, smaller and much more patient, flows through the mar quee of the secretary, where the certificates entitling volunteers to the money value of the prizes they have won are distributed, and the number of prizes is so in finite that even this duty forms no inconsiderable addition to the other business pressing upon Captain Mildmay, and transacted by him with as much ease and courtesy as if he were writing complimentary letters. But apart from these marquees of work, and one or two other tents where statisticians hide themselves and pore till lamplight over piles of re gisters, kept, for some inscrutable reason, with blue pencil on pink sheets of paper, and apart also from that other cave of canvas, where the dread tribunal of " the Council" waits with umpire and attendant Staff to pronouns° judgment on any cases that may be submitted, it really seems as if the meeting ma - naged itself very successfully. The great art of let ting things alone becomes additionally important when all concerned have imbibed notions of disci pline and come to the ground prepared to conform in every manner to authority, provided only that it be legitimate. Men have gained confidence in the arrangements at Wimbledon ; or, if new to the place themselves, they generally come with com rades whose favourable report first induced them to entertain the idea, and so they are prepared, almost without knowing it, to feel at home. The Associa tion was fortunate enough to establish or obtain the assistance of an admiral Staff at the outset, and that Staff it has since preserved intact. As on board a man-of-war every one knows his own rope, so here each has his department, and matters proceed so smoothly that a difficulty has scarcely time to arise before it is mastered. A thorough hitch would be a new sensation. The principal competitions on Saturday were those for the Challenge Vase, value 550 guineas, contributed in specie by Volunteers in China, and for the London and South Western Railway Prize of £5O, to which the Association adds £25, given for the best volley firing. Several designs for the China vase have been submitted, and the selection is still under the consideration of a committee. The conditions of the match having been left to the de termination of the Council, great curiosity was natu rally felt as to the ultimate destination of so valu able apiece of plate. The decision arrived at was that it should be placed in the hands of the Lord- Lieutenant of the winning county from year to year, and that £lOO should be annually divided among the more successful of the competing squads, con sisting of 10 men drawn from every county desir ous of entering.

The annual general meeting of the members of the asso ciation was held on Saturday at the Freemasons' Tavern Great Queen-street—Mr. S. C. Hall in the chair. Mr. H. G. WARREN, the hon. secretary of the society, read the report,'of which the following is the substance:— "The committee congratulate the society on the steady progress which has been made during the last 12 months. The number of members on the books is 192, of whom 40 are life members and 152 annual members. Of the 192 members 133 belong to London and 49 to the country. The number elected since the 30th June last year is 64. During the year the society has lost three members by death ; the widows of two of them have received assistance from the fund. The second annual dinner was held on the 20th of May, under the presidency of Mr. Charles Dickens, who made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the fund. Subscrip tions amounting to upward of £1,200 were announced, the larger portion of which has been already received. The president, Lord Houghton, has evinced his continual zeal in the institution by presiding on several occasions at meet ings of the committee, and by making valuable suggestions for the government of the institution. :The total receipts during the past year (irrespective of dinner tickets) were £1,265 2s. 10d. The society has now £1,500 stook in the New 8 per Cents., and £6OO on deposit at the City Bank, leaving at the bankers at the end of the year a balance of £lB3 Bs. 4d. The income of the society at the present time may be thus estimated :—From interest on investments, £6O ; annual subscription of members, £156 ; annual dona tions, £l2B ; making a total of upwards of £340. Neither of these items has, however, yet reached the amount stated, owing to the present period at which many gentlemen were elected, and to the fact that a largo portion of the subscrip tions and donations fell due on the day to which the ac counts are made up." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. H. OTLEY seconded the motion, which was agreed to unanimously. The election of Mr. C. Shand and Mr. C. V. Boys as members of the committee pro tern was then confirmed. Mr. Loa and Mr. Justin M'Carthy were also elected members of the board ; and Messrs. Downing, Evans, and Saunders re-elected auditors. Mr. H. OTLEY then moved for the appointment of a com mittee to consider the rules of the society, especially in re ference to drawing a line of distinction between its benevo lent and its provident character, the management of its funds, and the appointment of its officers. All other socie ties, whether those connected with particular professions or calling; and those of a larger scope as regarded member ship, acted upon the principle of keeping the two objects which he had mentioned separate and distinct. Referring to the societies connected with the profession of artists, he found that in one society the sole object was benevolence, which was tantamount to the relief of the improvident ; in another society the provident element was alone recognised, and in the third both these principles formed together the basis on which the society was formed. The object of his motion was to assimilate this society to those institutions. Ho was desirous to see a graduated scale of subscriptions adopted, from which an annuity fund might be created, to which a member, when old and disabled, could apply, not as matter of charity, but as a matter of right. The CHAIRMAN thought such a change would be prema ture. It would come about in the growth of time and the in the Artists' P ro . Mr. WILLIAM S secon d e d M r .

Mr. COOK moved as an amendment the previous question. After a long discussion the motion was negatived by a, largo majority. Mr. FINDEN then proposed a variety of amendments tO the rules as they at present stand. A motion of his to double the subscription of the country members was negatived. At his instance, however, the life subscription was raised from £5 ss. to £lolox., and the secretary made a paid in, stead of an honorary officer of the society. The proceedings then terminated. The Trial of Constance Kent. lor; SALISBURY, Saturday Night.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., will be leading counsel for the defence. One of the most interesting parts of the trial, it is expected, will be his cross - examination of the Rev. Mr. Wagner. When this gentleman gave evidence before the magistrates at Trow bridge, he resolutely declined to give any information re specting the manner in which Constance Kent was first induced to confess her alleged guilt. Sir George Grey sub sequently declared that the Rev. Mr. Wagner had not the slightest pretence for thus insisting upon what he was pleased to term the "sacred seal of the confessional ;" and as Mr. Coleridge is admitted to be one of the cleverest cross-examiners on the Western Circuit, Mr. Wagner will either have to divulge the whole secret attending the unhappy girl's confession to him, or suffer for conscience sake by going to prison. The Rev. Mr. Wagner is the pro minent witness, as he alone can tell what pressure it was which induced Miss Constance Kent to proclaim herself the perpetrator of this foulest of murders. Miss Graeme, the lady superior of the establishment at Brighton, where the prisoner was staying at the time she came forward and stated that she was guilty, is not quite so mysterious a witness ; because, although at the magistrates' examina tion at Trowbridge, she at first solemnly declared that the relationship existing between her and Miss Kent had been as that of mother and daughter, yet upon a very little pressing she readily told nearly all that she knew, if not all. There are many rumours as to the exact line of de fence which will be adopted, but nothing is definitely known. It is not probable that her plea of guilty will be received by the learned judge who has to preside, especially considering the remarkable circumstances under which it was forced from the prisoner, but that the case will be allowed to go to the jury upon its merits. Apart from her confession, the evidence adduced before the Trow bridge magistrates, though su ffi cient to warrant a committ al , is by no means conclusive of her guilt ; but it is possib le some other evidence may be brought against her at the trial. It is said that Or. Bucknill, who was formerly the chief modi d it g to cal adviser at the county asylum at E , nhso ranks to r , Devon shire, h as b an a authority pin l his i s now employed by Government, a the eat present whether Dr. Bucknill has given any such ' t • n o r whether the counsel tor the defence ever a a n u d t oo f profess i on, insanity ; i butlas advised t is not he defen ce proper to BL o.puno , con templated relying upon such a plea. It is true that since Miss Constance Kent has been in prison at Devizes she has not manifested any strong symptoms of an unsound intel lect ; but it is not to be understood that her friends ever pretended she was subject to repeated attacks of a homi cidal tendency.
