CONTINENTAL VIEW OF THE VISIT OF THE BELGIAN VOLUMEERS TO ENG LAND. From the Dziemzilc Poznanski of the 2d August, a Polish newspaper, published at Posen : " London, 24th July, 1867. " While the Emperor Napoleon is collecting around him as visitors to the Paris Exhibition crowds of Kings and Sovereigns from all parts of the earth, as a proof of the fraternity of nations, England has undertaken to give in her own way an example of this fraternity. The English volunteers have invited to London the Belgian riflemen in return for the reception which was given them last year in Belgium. On Thursday, the 11th of July, two large steamers brought to the English capital upwards of 2,500 of these brave Belgians, and on the following day they entered the town. All the streets through which they passed were crowded with people, flags with the English and Belgian colours were hung out from the windows, the cheers were incessant, and the whole town seemed to hail them as if they were liberators or conquerors returning from a long war. " It is now the second week that these guests have b ee n constantly invited t o fetes, public games, rifle meetings, dinners, concerts, and balls, given both by public corporations and private indi viduals, from the Royal Family and higher aristo cracy to the lower classes. One of these fetes which had the greatest success was that given by Miss Burdett Coutts in her park and country-house, called Holly Lodge, at Highgate, near London. The extent of this park and the munificence of its pro prietress may be imagined when I tell you that besides the 2,500 Belgians, there were at this fete upwards of 1,000 persons, many of whom belonged to the highest English society. The Royal Family was also represented by the ma jority of its members. The Sultan and the Prince of Wales were expected, but they were so exhausted by the fetes of the previous day that at the last moment they expressed their regret at their inability to take. part in this interna tional festival. Perhaps it was as well that they did not come, as their presence did not divert public attention, and the object of the fete was thus rendered more strikingly apparent. For it was the particular desire of Miss Coutts, who had herself drawn up the plan of the proceedings, that all na tions should be represented at the fete, not so much by their rulers, as by their distinguished citizens, pre pared to defend to the last the rights and liberties lof their respective countries. Among these the Poles were not ollitted ; on the contrary, with her usual sympathy for oar country and its cause, they in several instances hal reserve fo themill some of the most prominent place d s. I w not describe either the magnificence of the park or the liberality of the recep tion, or the number of the amusements, or the exemplary order which prevailed. I will only allude to three occa sions which produced a stronger impression than others. The first was when Colonel Gregoire, marching at the head of his riflemen, halted them for a moment in front of the house; and, ascending the steps leading to the balcony, on which stood the hospitable hostess, surrounded by the Royal Family, o ffered her in the midst of the pr olon g ed cheers of the multitude, a splendid bouquet which had been sent that day from Ghent. On the seconess t o th d occas ion Lord Granville delivered an addre Belgian guests, in the name of Miss Coutts, in which be described the benefits of freedom, peace, and the friendship of nations, of which a most illustr i ou s example is giv en by En g land and Belgium. The third occasion occurred when the whole body of volunteers, after taking leave of their noble hostess, and marching out of te gates in the di rec tion of London, suddenly turned round, and returned to the house, once more to express their gratitude by enthusiastic cheers. Instead of describing all this magnificence, I will remind my countrymen who Miss Burdett Coutts is. If I only told them that she is one of the most wealthy persons iu England,—nay, if 1 added that she comes of a fain ous historical family, which has roenuld - dered good s ervice to its country, perhaps Ish attract but little attention. Even if I described h o w she has distinguished herself by her boundles s charity, how she employs her fortune in establishing hospitals, building churches, promoting art and sc i en ce, and relieving the poor, especially artisans and labourers, for whom she has filled a whole suburb (Bethnal -green) with comfortable houses, doubt less this would gain for her the esteem she deserves us. But when I sa y that Miss Burdett among Coutts comes of a family whose sympathy for used a tradition, and w hich has always actively suppo our cause ; that her father was one of the first of our defenders, and her cousin the m never omitsost ardent and strenuo us of them ; that she herself occasion of allevatiug either by word or deed the fate of our exiles, I hope no one will object to my lengthening this letter with some particulars on the subject.

EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, -I London. REPORT of the Directors for the year and quinquennium ending 30th June, 1867, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 9th August, 1867. GEORGE RUSSELL, Esq., Chairman of the Company, 'in chair. The report which the Directors have now to make to ;he proprietors has reference not only to the progress of the Company during the past year, but also to the more important consideration of its financial condition at the close of another quinquennium and of the long term of sixty years from the date of its establishment. As regards the progress of the Company, during the year, it may b 3 sufficient to state that the ordinary receipts and payments have been augmented by those of another small assurance society,- the business of which has been transferred to the Eagle in this interval. Thus, the total premiums received hero havo been £397,533, and the inte rest from investments £123,352; whilst, on the other hand, the claims on decease of lives assured have amounted to £307,016, and the expenses of management to £16,920 — this last sum including £3,909, which will, for the most part, now cease. An exception to this general augmentation is to be found in the case of the premiums on new assurances, which have amounted to £15,401—a less sum than they havo reached in foregoing years. Adverting now to the results of the quinquennial inves tigation which has now been in progress for several months, and which has been conducted with all duo care and cir cumspection, it appears, from the actuary's statement, that there were in force on the 30th Juno last the following policies, viz.: 16,882 participating, assuring, with additions, £9,306,962, and paying premiums amounting to £274,517 per annum. And 4,096 non-participating, assuring £3,709,743, and paying premiums amounting to £112,319 per annum. The total amount assured in these two classes—viz., £l3,ols,7os—logether with some annuities, is found by the minute and laborious processes used in such investiga tions to involve an immediate liability of £6,224,830. The total annual premium receivable —viz., £386,836 — is shown, by the like processes, to be now worth £1,506,168, or nearly 12 years' purchase. The net liability arising under those large items, viz., £1,738,662, is included in the following statement, which has been verified by the auditors, and which comprises all the realised and unrealised assets of the Company, and also all claims against it, immediate or remote. £3,533 7 6 OSBORNE'S STILTON Is THE Cheese !

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD RACES—THURSDAY. This pleasant meeting is one of th 9 most popular with the racing public, and, being very easy of access by rail from London, the metropolitans annually assemble in great force in the classic city. Following immediately in the wake of Wolverhamptou and Egham, the gathering on Port Meadow obtained patronage from each, so that there was no lack of bookmakers and backers ; while there was an average attendance of the aristocracy. The general company was decidedly the largest ever seen on this famed racecourse, a fact greatly to be attributed to the _ _ convenient excursion and special trains which the Great Western R:tilway Company ran from London, Reading, and the neighbouring towns. Unfortunately the weather was not so fine as could have been wished, rain falling all the morning; and althouglOhere was an improvement soon after the sport' comad, the afternoon 'was chill; and a tremendous shower which descended just before four o'clock rendered it anything but pleasant for the large number of ladies who occupied the carriages drawn up opposite the Grand Stand. The only advantage expe rienced was the coolness of the atmospnere, as compared with the glaring heat of the sun on Tuesday and Wednes day. The racing calls for no comment, being so fully detailed in the return appended; but it will be seen that the principal race of the day, the Oxfordshire Stakes, re solved itself into a match, the added money being reduced from a hundred to fifty sous in consequence. The corn _ _ _ _ petitors were Pepper's Ghost and a colt of Lord Westmor land's by Promised Land—Rupert's dam, and, with odds of 5 to 4 on him, "the Ghost" won by three-quarters of a _ _ _ _ _ Length, although at the distance odds of 2 to 1 were laid on the non-favourite, so much the best of the race did Kenyon _ _ seem to have. The racing was prolonged by a dead heat, and after being run off rain again came down in torrents ; so heavy, indeed, that umbrellas were but little protec tion. Appended is a return of the running : The Port Meadow Stakes, a handicap of 100 sovs, for all - ages; winners extra. Five furlongs. 41 subs. Mr. Beadman's Knight of St. Michael, by Knight of St. Patrick—Noisette, 4 yrs, 7st 11b (Peppler) 1 lan Smith's The Squire, 4 yrs, Gst 41b (Williams) 2 Mr. Do La Ce's Gretna, 4 yrs,..7st (H.

After a slight delay the flag fell, all getting well off with the exception of King of Spades, who stopped and kicked, losing many lengths before Butler could set him going. Won by a neck. The Oxfordshire Stakes of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 15 ft, 5 only if declared; winners extra. Two miles. 29 subs., 16 of whom pay 5 sovs each. _ _ Mr. A. Taylor's Pepper's Ghost, who held a lead of at least half a dozen lengths until entering the straight run home, where Kenyon brought up the Rupert's dam colt, and below the distance appeared to have so much the best of the race that 2to 1 was offered on him-. " The Ghost," however, answered gamely to Covey's resolute riding, and drawing away opposite the Stand, won cleverly by three parts of a length. The County Members' Plate of 30 sovs, added to a Handi cap Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; whiners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 19 subs. Mr. 11.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Indian Star, 11 to 2 each agst Ven turer and the Phemy colt, 6 to 1 agst Gordian Knot, 7 to 1 agst Elegance, 10 to 1 agst Cromwell. Venturer jumped away with a clear lead of Indian Star and Gordian Knot, Elegance and Leading Suit being most prominent of the remainder, and they ran thus for nearly half a mile, when Gordian Knot and Leading Suit dropped a way. Cromwell hero began to close with the Leader, and heading Elegance and Indian S tar at the commence ment of the inclosuro, challenged Venturer in the last half dozen strides, and the issue after a desperate finish was a dead heat. About three lengths in roar of the dead heaters came Elegance, a neck in advance of the Phemy colt and Indian Star; Leading Suit was sixth, Laura seventh, Adam Bodo eighth, and Gordian Knot last. Deciding Heat—Betting opened at 6 to 5 on Venturer, but closed at 6 to 4 on Cromwell. Venturer won in a canter by three lengths. Tho Prince of Wales's Stakes of 50 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, for two-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b; winners extra. Half a mile. 26 subs.

Catton made play, closely followed by Pyrenees on the right and Maesderwen in the centre, till approaching the distance, where Mann caused some consternation to the backers of the favourite by raising his whip, but Pyrenees immediately deprived Catton of the lead, and increasing her advantage opposite the Stand won very easily by three lengths ; Maesderwen was a bad third, Englishman fourth, and Manton last. The Freeman's Plate of 30 soya, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for all ages ; winners extra. One mile. Mr. E.

Tripthong held a slight lead of Killaloe, Hopvine, and Demonstration for nearly half a mile, when Killaloo took up the running, and completely " spread-eagling" the field, won in a canter by eight lengths.

The winner was bought by Mr. T. Colby for 180 guineas. Capt. Machell claimed The Thorn, and Mr. Stevens Hay market.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.) PEu'rusuruu.—Tuesday afternoon broke up pretty fa vourably, and a good few of the sportsmeh made a short walk over the hills. It was a beautiful evening, and dur ing the night there was the finest moonlight. Wednesday was oppressively warm on the low lands, but there was a good breeze on the higher districts. It would appear that the blight has been somewhat general, In the Aberfeldy district his Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh used to have nearly 200 brace the first day to his own gun, while ou Monday ho had only some 50, being, however, one of the best bags we have heard of. In the ICllin district some of the sportsmen seem particularly anxious to conceal the state of their bags, for what reason we do not know. We have, however, ascertained the following details : —At Auchmore, Mr. Graham and party made 57 brace grouse and 9 hares on Monday. On the same day Messrs. Scott, Deans, and Smith shot over Auchlyne, and had about 40 brace. Mr. Barnett and party made nearly 100 brace and 1 hare on Glenlochay. On the Ochil range a good few of the hills have been opened, but, so far as we have heard, there has not been grand shooting. Mr. A. Turner and two friends had 6 brace grouse and 5 hares on Monday, and oa Tuesday 61 brace grouse and 2 hares on Glentyro. The disease is still prevalent in that district ; the broods aro few, and many of the birds which have been shot aro old birds. In the Crieff district the shooting has not been heavy as yet. Mr. Moncrieff, M.P., and two friends had 12 brace grouse on the Cultoquhey hills on Monday. On the same day Mr C. H. Drummond M. ray, of Abercair ney, and Mr. Drummond, jun., had 26 brace grouse on the Abercairney hills. On Glenturrit the shooting is inferior, and it would appear that there is not a great show of birds. A number of hills have been opened in the Amulree dis trict, but, so far as we can learn, the bags were light. CALLANDER.—The shooting season in this district will pass over very quietly this year-- , scarcely a shot being heard. The hills belonging to the Willoughby estate, as also those attached to Leny, will, it is said, not be shot over this season. A few sportsmen have, however, been out on the other moors in the district, and on the whole have met with good sport. On the 12th, Mr. G. F. Mel ville, advocate, Edinburgh, shot over the estate of Mr. Marshall, of Gartchonzie, and bagged 24 brace, and on the 13tb 91 brace, besides hares, &c. Mr. William Marshall, of Callander Cottage, shot over the same estate on the 12th, and succeeded in bringing down 10 brace. Mr. Wakefield, of Drummond Lodge, has been shooting over the Trossach moors since the 12th with success, and also Mr. Robertson over the Torre moors. DENNY.—The morning of the 12th dawned auspiciously for the sportsman, and since t h e n hi g hl y favourable weather has been enjoyed. Owing to the epidemic am on g grouse there is a great scarcity of s p ort, and a a moun t large of ground has to be covered to s ecure a few birds. JainT he best bag on Monday was made by Mr. Robert Todd, s, who brought down 20 brace. Mr. Duncan , i of Glencrron, secured 111; M'Farlane, writer, Stir d ing, 7 ..i o ie n L O a r i a n ig g : armet ; Mr. IPLaren, Leslie Park, 5; an Bail Denny, 4. GLENSIIEE.—On Monday Major Thomas, e o n f D F r i u n m ze o a u n r d , and Mr. Robert Forrest shot 23 brace grouse Hill.

This last item forms the provision for the present bonus, and the accumulating fund for future bonuses and expenses, and it is recommended accordingly that £208,774 be now appropriated for immediate distribution, leaving £772,740 13s 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet the reduc tions of premium in respect of the policies transferred by the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of which reductions, it may be remembered, is to take place in 1868. The share of the present distribution pertaining to the proprietors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early in October. The portion to be allotted to the policyholders will be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of the addition made in each case despatched to them; but this prceess will necessarily occupy considerable time. Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined table, which exhibits them in the instance of assurances twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com mencement of the risk.

The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory, and they trust that the Proprietors will bo of the same opinion; looking at the progress which the Company has made during the last twenty years and the position which it has now attained they feel themselves justified in anti cipating that its future career will be a successful ono. They will only add, that they hope in a few weeks to be . enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the new premises in Pall-mall, and thenceforth to have more suit able accommodation for the carrying on of the Company's business than it has been their good fortune of late years to enjoy.

The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that tho arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi dently recommended as a simple but certain Ilemedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subject, being a medich to so uniformly grate ful and beneficial, that it is with justice called the "'Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach." "Norton's rills " act as a powerful tonic and gentle aperi , Alt ; are mild in their operation, safe under any citcumstan ces, and thousands of persons can now bear testimony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of 20 years.

" I remember, also, when, in one of his letters addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart, in answer to an appeal on behalf of the refugees, he says I know not what to do or can be dose essentially to serve the brave and accomplished Poles. • I have the greatest contempt of, and indignation at Mini sters for their pasillanicnons, nastatesmanlike con duet respecting them from first to last.

Poor! is it England mocks you with her grief, Wilo hates, but dares not chide the Imperial thief ? Prance, with her soul beneath the Bourbon's thrall, And Germany, that has no soul at all, States quailing at the giant overgrown, Whom dauntless Poland grapples with alone ! No, ye are rich in fame, e'en whilst yo bleed, We cannot aid you, we are poor indeed! "I must acknowledge with sorrow that there now remain but few such ardent friends of our cause in England as Burdett, Campbell and Dudley Stuart were 30 years ago, and each loss which diminishes the number of our friends is therefore the more painful to us. We have just had to suffer a loss of this kind in the person of William Scholefield, M.P. for Birmingham, who died suddenly in London. The news of his death produced great sorrow in Parliament, and Tories, Whigs, and Radicals vied with each other in giving testimony to his important services. lie, as well as his father, were the oldest members of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, and seconded Lord Dudley Stuart in all his efforts on our behalf. During nearly 20 years of his Parliamentary career he gave his best support to every motion brought forward in favour of Poland ; and it would be difficult to find so tender a heart combined with such inexhaustible goodness and readiness to do others a service. I have already said that certain English families seem to retain a traditional sympathy for our cause. This is a characteristic of the Stuarts, Harrowbys, Burdetts, Townshends, Attwoods, and others, and now of the family of the Scholefields" THE WEST INDIES• SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday. The Royal mail steam ship Atrato, from the West Indies, has arrived here with 136 passengers $2,302,677 in specie, and a cargo consisting chiefly of cochineal, coffee, and cocoa. She left St. Thomas on the Ist inst., having been detained two days for the Californian mail. On the 12th she experienced a h eav y northerly gale. Off Scilly she passed four ironclads, one of them the Bellerophon. The outward mail arrived at St. Thomas on the 31st ultimo, and the steamer California reached Colon on the 15th ultimo. The Atrato brings dates from Valparaiso to the 3d, and Callao to the 14th ultimo. Considerable excitement prevailed in Chili in consequence of reports that the Spanish fleet was on its way for the Pacific, and a declaration of the Minister of War that the Government would only act on the defensive in case of invasion bad created great dissatisfaction. The railway from Tongoi to Ja,Maya was opened on the 18th ult. There was but slight alteration in the Valparaiso ex m arkets. Copper had slightly advanced, and - c h an ge on London was quo ted at 45d. Considerable excitement also existed in Peru, on account of the expected return of the Spanish fleet. The Government was actively engaged making preparations to oppose the enemy. New batteries were in course of construction at Callao, and Con gress in secret session had given impertaut authority to the Government. The 4th of July was celebrated with festivities at Lima and Callao. The Peruvian Government was unable to raise the five million dollars authorised by Congress. The Government has conceded to the United States permission to keep on shore deposits of coal for the use of its fleet. Twenty-seven vessels loaded with guano were at the Chincha Islands in June. Seven shocks of earthquake were experienced at San Salvador on July 30th. The damage was in considerable. In Guatemala a large quantity of coffee and cochineal was waiting shipment. In Costa Rica Congress had been prorogued for thirty days. Throughout the States of Central America tran quillity prevailed. Trade at Demerara continued depressed; weather favourable for crops. At St. Vincent the crops were nearly reaped ; island healthy. A heavy storm prevailed at St. Thomas on July 29th ; the houses were closed, and the ships in the harbour kept their steam up for proceeding to sea, if necessary. There was every prospect that the floating dock v:ould shortly be raised. The intelligence from Honduras was more satis factory. There had been no new raids upon Eng lish territory by the Indians ; everything was quiet and all danger was over. The emigration of in Am the e rican Southerners continued. Prospects colony were improving. At Jamaica the pub lic health had greatly im proved, but trade continued dull. The value of the prope rt y destroyed by the late fire at St. Kitts was estimated at £200,00 0 . Heavy rains had been experienced in Grenada. STATE OF• TRADE• BRADFORD, Aug. 15.—The tone of the wool market is again more cheerful this morning. A fair quantity of fine-haired wool has been sold since last week. Th er e is little or no improvements n the demand for lustre wool. Staplers generally report more disposition on the part of buyers to l op some erate in some favourite sorts at previous r ates. n particular classes of wool, which are a shade dearer i n the country , a n advance is sought, and in some exceptional cases it has been realized. Speaking generally, however, it is impossible to obtain an ad vance in price, and when the stapler insists upon an advance no business is done. There is a slight im provement in the tone of the worsted is3 y oa a ,is r i n aahv t de r r a 4a d og e es . lustre, for emrotrheebßusuisnsessian has been d T on h e er i e n business doing ou home account.
