The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows: Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (piano and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may . be selected will be treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per d a y f o r six days per week for the first year , and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from Nov em b er till M ay, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty ma k e no en gagement to employ these pupils after the com pl e ti on o f their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and ono engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the gr o un d s on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days.

GEORGE RUSSELL, Esq.i . Chairman of the Company, in tlitaliair. The report which the Di4tors have now to make to the proprietors has refereneA3'not only to the progress of the Company during the past year, but also to the more important consideration of its financial conditiod at the close of another quinquenuium 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 be 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 here have been £397,533, and the inte rest from investments £123,352; whilst, on the other band, the claims on decease of lives assured have amounted to £307,046, 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 have 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 June 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 par annum. The total amount assured iu these two classes —viz., £13,015,705 —together 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 prenliefrkWeivable—viz., £386,833 — is shown, by the like prileessel, to be pow worth £4;566,168 - , or nearly 12 years' purchase. The net liability arising under these 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 Cdmpany, and also all claims against it, immediate or remote.

Foreign Affairs what progress bad been : made towards a settlement of the claim of the owners of the Cestus against the Buenos Ayros G-overnment, which was referred to the decision of the President of the Republic of Chili in 1865? Lord STANLEY said he had no information on the subject, but ha had communicated with her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires; as yet, however, there had not been time for an answer to arrive to his letter. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. In reply to an HON. MEMBER, Lord H. LENNOX stated that after a careful inspection it had been ascertained that considerable expenses would have to be incurred in converting either Queen Mary's or Queen Ann's quarters into an hospital, but that Queen Mary's was the most appropriate and easily converted. Inspection, however, had been made and the same result had been arrived at. Under those circumstances the original offer had again been made to the authorities of the Dreadnought. INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE. In reply to Mr. LEFEVRE, Sir R. PALMER said he did not intend to press the measure further during the present session, in consequence of their Lordships differing from them upon some very important points in the bill. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that the house at its rising adjourn to Monday, Mr. NEWDEGATE called the attention of the house to certain circumstances connected with the select committee appointed to consider, to hear evidence with respect to, and to report upon the Ecclesiastical Titles and Roman Catholic Relief Acts, to the evidence taken by, to the pro ceedings, and to the report of the above committee. Mr. WHALLEY followed the hon. member. Mr. WALPOLE said he had sat upon that committee, and according to his view of the natter committee was not avoiding any particular act, 'or to come to any foregone conclusion. He thought the duty of the committee appointed was for the purpose of inquiring and reporting whether, in their opinion, there was anything whatever in the practical working of that act weighing upon Roman Catholics which made it expedient that the act should be repealed or altered. Those who had been instrumental in the appointment of the committee had failed to prove that there was so, and the committee came to the conclusion that there was no practical grievance, and therefore it had been thought unnecessary to call evi dence on the theological bearing of the question. THE CASE OF CUNCANON. Major ANSON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department a question with regard to the sentence passed on a man named Cuncanon at the last Stafford assizes ? Mt. HARDY said at present he had no official infortna thm oa the point. The motion was then agreed to. The house then adjourned until Monday next. DINNEF ORD 'S FLUID MAGNESIA.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE• TAFF VALE. The dividend for the half year ended June 30 would be at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. NORTH-EASTERN. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at York; Mr. 11. S. Thompson pre sided. _ . The report, an abstract of which has appeared in 7he Sun, was taken as read. The C ['AIRMAN said that in respect to the work ing of the past half year he had not any startling revelations to make. The North-Eastern was a steady-going company, and long, he hoped, would remain so ; but even the steadiest company, if it was a commercial undertaking, must feel more or less the ups and downs of trade. When the trade of their district was prosperous they were prosper ous too ; if the trade was depressed they suffered ; and it was to him a great proof of the essential soundness of their position that they had not suf fered more within the last six months, when one of their staple industries—the iron trade—had been in a languid position. The net result of the working of the half year was that the gross receipts had in creased £10,158, while the working expenses had increased by £17,174, so that the net amount of available income was less by £7,016. The expen diture on locomotive power, which was one of the largest causes of expense in working the railway, amounted to £306,588 in the half year, being an increase of £5,610 as compared with the corres ponding half. of last year. Out of that one-third was the cost of supplying fuel—coke and coal ; but he believed the price had touched its highest point ; that in the last contracts they had had there was a slight diminution of price, and in any change that was likely to take place the directors hoped it would be towards a diminution, and not towards an in crease. In the other heads of expenditure in the locomotive department there had been a diminution, so that if the price of coke had been the same the locomotive department would - have shown a dimi nution of £5,600. This would have arisen not from any starving of the efficiency of the ser vice, for he thought he might safely say that they were never better supplied with locomotive power than at the present moment. He referred to other heads of expenditure, including the increase in wages, which had caused the expenses in most departments to increase ; but he was happy to think they had probably touched their highest point, and the tendency was not to so great an increase of wages as it was a few months ago. There was an increase of compensation for loss and damage of £2,800, which was always a source of great regret even if it did not involve damage to life and limb ; but in Parliamentary expenses there was a diminu tion of £1,500, which would be still more con spicuous in the next half year. Another source of increased charge on the revenue arose from the in terest on preference capital, and the rate of interest, in consequence of having had to renew on higher terms, had risen from £4 7s. 3id. to £4 Bs. lid. per cent. Having shown them the worst side, he must say he had considerable gratification, at the end of 12 months of severe financial depression an d stag nation in trade—that amount of financial diffi,cultyand which had caused so many had caused serious difficulty to many of the largest railway companies in the kingdom—ho shareholders derable gratification in laying before t he receipts.

A vote of thanks to the chairman con cluded the proceedings. METROPOLITAN DISTRICT. The half-yearly general meeting was held yester day, at the Westminster Palace llotel—the Earl of Devon in the chair. The CIIAIMIAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that there had been no serious interrup tion to the works in consequence of the difficulties which had attended the placing the debentures and securities of the company, owing to the depression in the money market, and the delay in getting posses sion of the land. Every confidence was entertained by the directors in the success of the railway, and their opinions were based on the very large and increasing traffic of the Metropoli tan Railway Com pany. The paucity of funds had caused difficulties between the directors and the contract s, but they had received the advice and co-operation of Mr. Parson, the chairman of the Metropolitan Railway, ASSETS.

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 prccess 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 tho 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 be 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 one. They will only add, that they hope in a few weeks to be enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the new promises 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 eny . jo The direction of the Company is now constituted as follows : Col.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The Lorm CHANCEL - LOU took - his sonton the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the authorities of Leicester. The Expiring Lands Continuance Bill was passed ,hrough Committee. BUSINESS OP THE HOUSE AND THE PROROGATION. The Earl of DERBY intimated that the house would meet to-morrow (Saturday) at 2 o'clock, in order to pass certain bills, and that the prorogation would take place on Wednesday next. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved that tho Com mons' amendments to this bill should be considered. Ho said that the other house of Parliament had limited the period of the act to one year, while this house had agreed that it should be for three years, but ho thought that the amendment was a trifle, and ho should move that it be agreed to. The amendments wore then agreed to. The Commons' amendments on the Railway Companies (Scotland) Bill wore agreed to. POLICIES OP INSURANCE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the amonduijut on this bill only left it its title. Tho effea of the amend ment really was that a person holding only a partial in terest in a policy might sue for and recover the whole of its amount, and the other par ties to it must sue hi n. It appeared to him quite impos sible that the house could agree to this amendment. The amendment was then disagreed to. CONSOLIDATION FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. .This bill was read a second time. HOURS OF LABOUR REGULATION BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved the second reading of this bill. lie stated that there were an innumerable class of employments in which children, womon, and young persons were employed, which the Factory Act Extension Bill did not contemplate, and this bill was destined to regulata the hours of labour of young parsons employed in workshops, and gave power to the local authorities, by which ho meant tho corporation, or, if there was none, the vestry of a town, to regulate in their dis tricts the hours of labour. The Earl of SFIAFTESBURY said that they had not in this bill the assistance of inspectors as the Factory Act had, but were going to the local authorities, who were employers of labour; but he must remark that they ought in passing this bill to be very grateful to the great employers of labour for the generous assistance they had given them in carrying out bills like the present. It was many years before they could get any great result from the original Factory Act, and this bill would be considered an admirable supplement to the new Factory Act. But there were some defects in it which he should move in the neat session to bo amended. The bill was then read a second time. COURTS OF REFERENCES BILL. This bill wit, read a second time. The Earl of DEVON moved that the Church Tempo ralities Orders (Ireland) Validation, &c., Bill be read a second time, which was agreed to. The Fortifications Bill was read a second time. The Commons' amendments to the War Department Stores Bill were agreed to. The Companies' Act (1862) Amendment Bill passed through committee, and the report was agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 3 o'clock. CHARTERHOUSE ESTATES BILL. This bill was further considered, and the standing orders having been suspended it was read a third time and passed. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (ARRANGEMENTS) BILL. The Lord& amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTORS. Mr. OT WAY asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was intended to withhold from the sergeant instructors attached to the volunteer corps from the Regi ments of the lino the additional twopence per diem paid to sergeants of the line and militia ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said he presumed the question related to the 2d. lately granted. (Hoar, hear.) The sergeant instructors of volunteers consisted of two classes, viz., those sergeants who have been lent to the volunteers, and who aro still retained on the lists of thoir respective regiments, and with respect to them it was only fair that they should receive the addition. (Hear, hear.) With respect to those who had left the line and were in receipt of pensions, their case had not yet been decided. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. DARBY GRIFFITHS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of the Go vernment that the bill for the Prevention of Corrupt Practices at Elections, which had been considered and re ported on by a select committee, should be brought for ward at the earliest period next session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not feel competent at that moment to sketch out the Par liamentary campaign for the ensuing year. He should be sorry if the bill was not passed, and the best way to achieve that object was to introduce it as soon as pos sible. PARK-LANE. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the First Commis sioner of Works whether, in order to give greater facilities for the circulation of traffic and relieve the present over crowded thoroughfare of Park-lane, ho would endeavour to obtain her Majesty's consent for cabs to cross the corner of Hyde Park from the gate at Hyde Park-corner to Stan hope-gate, in a similar manner as cabs are now per mitted to cross Hyde Park from Victoria-gate to Prince's-gate. Lord J. MANNERS said ho had received no represen tations that there was too little traffic at the Stanhope gate. The traffic was too great in the other direction, and he did not think it would be advisable to interfere with the existing arrangements. Her Majesty had given her assent to the proposal for the widening of Park-lane, which would give much greater facilities to the carriage traffic in that neighbourhood, and it was only the unfor tunate difference that had sprung up between the Metro politan Board of Works and the Corporation of the City of London which prevented the improvements being com menced. Mr. AYRTON asked whether the very rich but very much under-assessed parish of St. George, Hanover square, had been applied to to contribute to the cost of the improvement. Lord J. MANNERS replied in th e negative, as the cost of making the improvement WAS to bo tinuation of the coal tax. paid for by a con BARS AND BARRIERS. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the Home Secretary if he i n tended next session to introduce a bill to remove the bars and barriers on the r oads in Wilitechapol, Gr a y' s Inn-road, the Foundling, the Bedford, thei Eusto n n , , the Portland, the Southampton, the Westinstenr,thae slam() Portman estates, so as to p lace the matro polts 'anent ? position as Paris and the iother cities on the con such thin Mr. O.

Mr. LEFEVRE asked tho Chancellor of the Exchequer if ho would lay upon the table, before the close of the session, in accordance with the assurances ►given by the Chief Secretary for Ireland othe sth of July, H o of the names of the commiss ioners to inqire into the revenue Established Church in Ireland, and also the names of the Irish Education Commissioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the reason the names were not made known was because they had not been decided on. Several applications had been made, but success had not attended those efforts. That was the sole cause that had led to the delay in publish ing the names. BUENOS AYRES. Mr. NORWOOD asked the Secretary of State for ~.~~.~~ z~ who had suggested several modifications of the con tract, which involved concessions on both sides, and he believed the result was that that part of the line between Brompton and Westminster -bridge would be opened for traffic by the commencement of the summer of 1868. It was proposed that the new debenture stock should be offered pro rata to the shareholders, and no doubt it would be mainly taken up by the present proprietors. Ile thought that the abandonment of the Euston and Charing -cross line would trove a great benefit to the Metropolitan District Company, with which, to some extent, it would have competed. Every facility would be offered to the London and North Western or any other company for the purpose of bringing traffic from the north to the south of London. Mr. SHERRIFF, M.P., seconded the motion. A SHAREHOLDER called attention to the remune ration of the directors. Ile thought that the remu neration would have been fixed at £2,000 a year. At present the management charges were higher than those of the Metropolitan. They had not yet completed two miles of the line, and bad spent £1,800,000. The shares upon which the calls had not been paid should be forfeited ; and he wished to know what amount of debenture stock it was pro posed to issue, and when it was expected the line would be opened to Cannon-street, and if the line from Brompton to Cannon-street would be con structed for £3,600,000. Another Shareholder moved an amendment re quiring a detailed statement of the capital of the company, and of the manner in which it had been expended. The CHAIRMAN explained that with regard to the remuneration of the directors, £4OO of the £1,930 which appeared in the accounts belonged to the pre vious year. The original estimate might possibly be exceeded, but it would be by a very small amount. Theyhad no objection to give more details if required but the accounts were open to the examination of shareholders at the office, and the form in which they were made out was the usual one. There had been paid up on capital account during the half-year £93,000, and the arrears amounted up to the pre sent time to £200,000. Mr. PARSON said he thought the position of the company had been much improved during the last month. As to traffic he was confident that it would be quite sufficient to pay a very considerable divi dend. The amendment was withdrawn, and the report of the directors was adopted. The meeting was adjourned to the 22d inst. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceedings. NORTH LONDON. The report of the directors of this company states that the receipts from traffic for the past half year showed a gross increase of £10,246, being 11-19,026 against £138,780 for the corresponding half of 1866.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 16.—The animation which showed itself in this market earlier in the week has entirely disappeared to-day, and business has been quiet, with weaker prices. Sellers of shipping yarns say business has assumed a much quieter tone, the constantly received bad accounts from Calcutta dis couraging operations. Buyers for that quarter are entirely out of the market, and prices, without being nominally lower, are somewhat weaker. The market for home trade yarns is quieter to-day, and in prices it may be s aid i d. out of the id. advance obtained on Tuesday has been lost. In cloths we have had a very subdued tone. The failure of Messrs. Nicholls an d Ashton, spinners and manu facturers at Lower Darwen, with liabilities to theff e ex tent of £35,00 0 to £40,000, has had m ore e upon the market than a failure for such an amount m i g ht have been expected to produce. mountothe news coming when bad cloth accounts ©to w hi c h speak of f a il ur es in the hand from Calcutta , b azaar s, with enormous stocks, has been calcula ted to affect people more deeply than it otherwise might. The telegram also speaks of a depressed market and lower prices at Calcutta. The business here in cloth to-day under t hese circumstances has become very unse ttled, and for s uch sales as they have made b uyer s have had to ac ce p t lower quotation and s. uarter There is no brisknes s in business for any q, prices are drooping. C AR DIFF, 15.—The steam c oal trade both at the Bute and Fenart h Docks shows some slight move ment, as compared w ith last month, and there are f h r o o p m e s s that e anof the increased continental m is a t aboutswhich, to set in dur ing the whole of the summer months, have not been such good customers as usual. The exports last month reach 160,766 tons, being a decrease of 7,458 tons as compared with the corresponding month of last year, the falling off being principally observable in the European consumption. In the Aberdare Valley the steam coal collieries are indifferently employed, and the stoppage of the Aberaman works has been the cause of a large amount of distress. Coastwise, the shipments in July were 85,465 tons, against 77,987 tons in the corresponding month of 1866. West of England and Irish houses are tak ing advantage of the present low rates of freight to increase their supplies. The iron trade is perhaps on the whole steadier, and ma kers are looking for ward to an accession of rail orders as the result of the improvement which has taken place in railwaairly y securities. Quotatio ns fo r tin plates are f maintained, and the works are well employed. LEICESTER, 16th.—There is a fair business doing iu all branches of the staple trade, but au absence of speculative feeling. IVools preient a more cheer ful appearance, there is raLher more moving ake off than of late, while the improved inquiries in the market exceedingly hopeful. Great firmness is shown by both staplers and farmers. What little change has taken place in prices is in favour of sellers. Manufacturers are tolerably busy amongst fancy hosiery, and yarns continue in fair demand and maintain former quotations. The plain worsted yarn spinning and hosiery trade is more sati • sfactory than it has been, but cotton goods are exceedingly quiet. Boots and shoes are in average request, and, in consequence of the scarcity of hides, butts, or bottom leathers, have advancedin • price and in • dicate a further increase.
