PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday.—The long-looked-for event of releasing this great ship from the stocks, and introduc ing her to her destined element, came off this day under the most unfavourable auspices. Heavy rain set in at midnight on Monday, and continued without inter mission all this morning, in the early part of which it was so discouraging that at nine o'clock her Majesty sent a special messenger to the Port-Admiral to know if the ship would be launched under such circumstances. But, notwithstanding the rain, an enormous gathering of spectators assembled from far and near to witness the launch. Flags and ensigns were hoisted on all the Government-office, and on various other establish ments within and without the port ; every de scription of craft seemed to be engaged for plea sure-seekers afloat, and every kind of locomotive ashore was taken up for the general service. At an early hour (some as early as seven o'clock) pedestrians were admitted into the dockyard, and from that time until the event of the day came off the multi tude kept streaming towards the centre of attraction. The booths for the Commander-in-Chief and friends, the Admiral Superintendent, members of Parliament, the principal officers of the dockyard, the Mayor and Corpo ration, the junior staff of the establishment, on the one side of the slip ; and for the Lords of the Admiralty and friends, the Lieutenant-Governor of the garri-on and friends, the Governor of the Royal Naval College and friends, the Commandant of the Royal Marines ani friends, the Captain Superintendent of Haslar and f iends, the officers of the navy and army generally, and officers of the civil departments, on the other, were early occu pied by well-dressed company, the varied uniforms of the services assisting the gay appearance of the lathes to lend additional life and interest to the scene. The Mayor and corporation went in their robes of office. There were not fewer than 50,000 spectators, ashore and afloat, all bent upon the one object. The harbour presented a peculiarly interesting and gay picture. The three decker St. Vincent and the two-decker Illustrious were moored off the mouth of the slip, well over to the oppo site shore, gaily dressed in flags, as were the new royal yacht, the Osborne, Fire Queen, Fanny, Europa trans port, and numerous other Government and private ves sels, besides the excursion packets, all crowded with company, the bands of the line-of-battle-ships playing on their poops. At length the booming of the salute from the three-deckers St. George and Neptune, at Spithead, announced the approach of the Queen, and presently after wards, about a quarter to 12, the salutes from the har bour, flag, and training ships announced the ro)al pro gress to the slip. The Court, consisting of the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princes Royal, accompanied by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, and attended by the Viscountess Canning, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Hen. Miss Hildyard, Major- Gen. Bouverie, Col. Seymour, Col. Biddulph, Mr. Gibbs, &c., lauded at the elegantly equipped steps of the pavilion prepared for her Majesty, in the vestibule of which she was received by the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral Superintendent Mar tin, Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., R.E., and Major General Breton, the Lieutenant-Governor. The guard of honour was ranged on the jetty adjacent, and consisted of the flank companies of the 80th Foot, commanded by Major Curistie, Captain Hardinge, Lieutenants Nunn and Dudgeon, and Ensign Maxwell bearing the colours. Her Majesty, on ascending to her position, was presented with a statement of the dimen sions of the ship, beautifully written on large em bossed cardzi, furnished by Mr. Wood, Clerk of the Works. The following are the details of her dimen sions, &e. " MARLBOROUGH SCREW STEAM•SHIP, 131 GUNS. Ft.

Maindeck Quarterdeck Forecastle Total Having taken a brief survey of the proportions of the ship from the balcony of the pavilion, her Majesty signi fied her readiness to proceed with the ceremony of nam ing her, and for this purpose descended to the floor of the ship, leaning on the arm of the Prince, and attended by Sir T. Cochrane, Rear-Admiral Martin, Rear-Admiral Eden, and Captain Milne (Lords of the Admiralty), Ma jor-General Breton, Captain Hutton, R.N., Captain the Hon. J. Denman, the Ruyal suite, &c , anu proceeded, by a reserved walk under the bilge on the port side to the christening booth on the stern, the company along the line standing and greeting her Majesty most enthusi astically. On ascending the platform at the stem Mr. Abethell, the Master-Shipwright of Portsmouth Dock yard,' wag presented to her Majesty, and gave into her hands the garlanded bottle of wine which hung suspended, and which, precisely at twelve o'clock, her Majesty dashed against the cutwater, pronouncing simultaneously " Success to the Marlborough." Shouts arose on all sides, the bands of the Guard of Honour and of the Dockyard Brigade played the National An them and "Rule, Britannia," and the Court returned to the royal pavilion to see the ship emerge from the shed. Mr. Abethell then gave the order to the artificers below to knock away the blocks, which occupied an ominously long time ; at length, at 25 minutes past 12, she moved, a general salvo from the lungs of the countless thousands proelaimed the fact, and never did ship appear likely to take the water more satisfactorily until she got two thirds out of the shed, when, to the astonishment of everybody, she slowly brought up, as if checked by some mighty influence, and remained immovable on the ways, the bows remaining under the shed and the after'body in the harbour ! So unlooked-for a casualty took every one by surprise, while the enthusiasm which greeted her start from the slip subsided into silence ; meanwhile, the ship hung fast, and 'there we were obliged to leave her. Sume pains have been taken to ascertain the growth (in bulk) of our first-class line-of-battle ships, and also the growth of our steam men-of-war since that element was first introduced into the naval system, and the result of the researches is both curious and instructive. The fol lowing table presents at one view the dimensions of the oldest three-decker of the sailin g c l ass an d t h e mos t i mpro ved" of the same family. It at the same time shows the size and capacity of the first steam man-of war that ever carried the pendant, together with the I largest British frigate and first-rate the English navy By whom designed.— (1) Sir F.

A guard of the 80th Regiment and 200 of the Royal Dockyard , Brigade, 'an der Lieutenant and Adjutant L . ong, formed an 'a:fiefit* for the *sage of the Royal co7lo4,whieh, on airtii*, at the 44 tairalty-home, wf4a- t'Ade . ttEed; of honour of Roxal„Matea Ulan front of the man sion,- ciuninan3en ientenan t-Calon el Hunt, Captain Boyle, First-Lieutenant Wharton, Second-Lieutenant St. John, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Holland ; the scholars of the Seamen and Marines Orphan Schools were also drawn up next the house, and 'an .avenue was formed thence to the dockyard gates by seamen from her Majesty's ship Illustrious, and a party of the South Lincolnshire Militia. The following comprised the guests of Lady sale Sir Thomas Cochrane :—The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the Viscountess Canning, the Hon.

The arrangements made by Lieutenant Hall, the Director of the Dockyard Police were excellent. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE MILITARY GENERAL HOSPITAL AT PORTSEA. On leaving the Admiralty-house at 2 o'cloCk her Ma jesty and the Prince Consort, the Royal Family, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and the suite pro ceeded to the Military Hospital at Portsea. 'Sir Thomas Cochrane, Sir Frederick and Lady Smith, Major-Gene ral Breton, &c., accompanied them. The progressthrough the town f Portsea was a very quiet one, the route taken being through the most unfrequented streets. On ar riving at the hospital her Majesty was received by the medical staff, comprising Dr. Odell, Dr. Burgess, Dr. Leech, Dr. Lawson, Mr. Edwards, and Mr. Sharpe, and escorted by the Lieut.-Governor of the garrision, and Sir F. Smith over the establishment. Her Majesty was first greeted on her arrival by about 300 convalescents, or dered up from the various barracks and temporary sick quarters, and who were inspected minutely by the Queen. Her Majesty went through the wet parade regardless of personal comfort. She then entered the hospital, and in spected those of the inmates who were well enough to be paraded in the verandahs, asking almost every man some question, and reading the card supplied to each, stating his name, grade, the nature of his wound, on what oc casion it was received, and the number of the regiment. Many of the cards so perused by the Queen in her round through the building were handed by her Ma jesty to the Prince, to take away with them. Hav ing inspected those in the verandahs, her Majesty proceeded to the wards, and went to the bedside of each helpless patient, questioning him in a most kind and feeling manner, which elicted from one gallant fel low the spontaneous expressions of "God bless her" as she passed to the next bed. Among the serious cases in this hospital her Majesty took special notice of seve ral sergeants suffering from severe wounds received be fore Sebastopol. Her Majesty inquired with marked feeling respecting the death of Lieut.-Colonel Lowtb, of the 38th, which we mentioned in the report of the ar rival of the Hansa on Monday. Her Majesty also made inquiries into the ventilation of the building and the general treatment and comfort of the sick and wounded. The Prince Consort examined, in addition, the various out-buildings and the improvements in progress under the superintendence of the Royal Engineer Depart ment. On concluding her humane visit, which occu pied an hour and a-half, the Queen expressed her satisfaction with the state of the hospital and the progress of the inmates, and returned by the same route as on her arrival to the dock yard, of the new stairs of which the Fairy was awaiting her einbarka ion. Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman received her Majesty in the Royal barge, and, having ag%in embarked the Couit, the Fairy steamed up to the shed where the Marlborough lay half launched, and took another survey of her unfortunate and critical position, remaining near the spot half an hour watching the efforts made by the dockyard staff at the capstans on board the ship and by the steam-tugs to release her from her perilous position. The cause of the catastrophe is supposed to le is the piles on which the ways are laid out into the korhour having given way. Ear Majesty returned to Osborne by 5 o'olock. A. telegraphic despatch frern a correspondent, dated 9 o'olook p.m., says : " I have just been to take another look at the ship. Her stern is in the harbour, but her bows remain high and dry under the building-shed. She is shored up well at the bows by spars, and buoyed underneath on either side by casks, &c. The whole shipwright strength of the dockyard is employed upon her, and hopes are entertained that she may be extricated from her diffieulty at the next tide, which will flow at half-past 1 to-morrow morning, and which is one of the highest spring tides this moon. It is supposed that the harbour end of the slip has given out, and sunk a little, the ground there abouts being entirely new, and no launch having taken place from the slip before. lam happy to add, the only accidents I have heard of are two. Russell, a foreman of shipwrights, and a shipwright have sustained injuries by falling into tlo slip in the discharge of their duties, and have been carried home. The ship has moved two feet six inches only since she brought .up in the attempt to launch her." A subsequent telegraphic despatch from a corre spondent, dated half-past 12, states : " The Marlborough, through the united and energetic exertions of 2,000 men, was safely got off, amid the en thusiastic cheers of those engaged, about midnight, and now lies afloat and safely secured in the harbour." (Prom the Times of this day.) Yesterday was a great day at Portsmouth. Her Ma jesty and the Court came across the waters of the Solent to one of our grandest national ceremonials. Even an Englishman longs for th e su bli me an d b eaut if u l , an d h e finds it occasionally in the construction of enormous vessels, larger, and fleeter, and more terribly armed than a ny vessels ever were before. When the vast pile is at last complete and ready to take to its element, it is ne cessary to give it some sort of sanction, some pious in auguration, some act which shall express in the highest possible degree the auspices and destinies of the majestic work. The vessel which was to have been launched yesterday was of the same class as the Duke of Welling. ton and the Royal Albert, which are, we believe, about twice as large, twice as heavily armed, and, with the aid of steam, much more swift and i n fi n i te l y more manage able, than any ship in Nelson's fleet. The mishaps of a naval career begin very early, an d many a fi ne vesse l has been ruined before it reached the s ea , or even t ouc h e d the water. These difficulties increase with our ambition, and if we choose to pile Pelion upon Ossa we must have competent machinery. Yesterday, as happened last year at Pembroke, the huge vessel ominously and dis loyally refused to quit the shore. It stuck fast in the ways, whence it was only dislodged at midnight, with some chance, we fear, of requiring repair after this first step in her course. We will take what some people will think an unfair advantage of this mischance to con sider whether the nation will lose very much by the accident, and whether we really want one more monster of the deep on this costly scale. We are throwing out ships of this sort, we know not how frequently, for we know not how many such mon sters are still in their vertebra and their ribs in some one of her Majesty's dockyards. When the race of naval Anakim will be finished no one can say,. but th e s p ec t ac le will then be awful indeed ;—something unapproachable, , 1 and, within its own sphere, irresistible in power.

Sovereigns of other times had their great deeds. They built and named pyramids .which still challenge the wonder and curiosity of man 'kind. They founded cathedrals with aisles like forest 'avenues, and spires that touch the .skies; they built churches upon churches, and churches side by side, one still larger than another, and so large at left thatahey will never be finished, and to this degenerate age only record the magnificent ideas of our forefathers. "There we're giants- in those days." But who that was present at the Naval Review of 1853 will deny that there are `giants in these days also ? We are waging a war of Titans. Just now, for the instant, indeed, peace seems tohe gaining upon war, for there is a passenger ship building in the Isle of Dogs that would take the Marl lioraugh on deck, and only sink two or three feet with its bui den. But wait a little. In a few years we shall hav-e a man-of-war—then several men-of-war—then a whole fleet—on the scale of Mr. Scott Russell's main miith ship. It is proper to the,dignity of the British aation that we should do so ; and, as we are geographi cally prevented from extending our frontier on land, it is but natural we should add as much as we can of the sea, at least of that portion of the sea which is repre sented for the time by the deck of a man-of-war. But, amid all these honourable aspirations for national grandeur, and this swollen, and still swelling magnifi cence,, a certain thought will obtrude uninvited. So leng,rai 'we were at peace, and so long as theie huge castles really frowned upon the ocean to some purpose and kepft he world in awe, there was no reason why we should not go on' building ships bigger and bigger continu ally; and particularly when the usual deatination of the ship Was a muddy berth high up Portsmouth harbour, or some other asylum far idle and eventually invalid men-of--war. We ~ahould not be far off the mark; if we were to say that alocalt a hundred ships of-the-line have never been used at ail, but have rotted in ordinary, from the day of their hssatiktirstO that which.' saw them sold for " old stores," ant bralC-im up by some ship-knacker. But, Ass ii is bet* that .4 cuan.ol-war, as well as any, oth4. weapon, sliOuld not le&r.o4;sie_will waste no vain etrtta;.,,jaktffelltitiligt So many iuceessive monarchs of "the - deep, after lives of inglorious ease, have been gathered to the sepulchre of their fathers. But a change has come over the scene, and we are now in a state which may be said to have been wholly unanticipated by the builders of our fleets—a state of war. What is more, we are at war with a naval Power,—with a Power which arrogates to itself the dominion of two great inland seas and threatens a third—the third being that sea, only less than ocean, to the possession of which the ancients justly assigned the dominion of the world. Russia is pushing her fleets from north and south towards the Gates of Hercules, and embraces the Old World. This same Russia has insulted us in the very tenderest point ; she has obtained our exclusion from the Euxine, she has destroyed, under our eyes, as it were, the fleet of our ally ; she has proclaimed that wooden walls are no match for granite ; she has defied not only us, not only our de crepit and semi-barbarous ally, but our great neighbour, more than our equal in military resources, and only not our equal in naval power. Here, then, is the very proof and occasion of our vast naval artnoury. Here is the destined enemy for whom our floating castles were reared. Here is the peril against which our pro vident forefathers warned us and prepared us in time. Open the gates of the ocean, out with these demigods, let them go forth in solemn pro cession and do their stern errand. They have gone forth ; they have stalked and are still stalking over the surface of the ocean. They cover seas, they spread from shore to shore, they create cities on the waves ; they give to watery wastes " a local habitation and a name." The Black Sea and the Baltic are full of our fleets, and, not only ours, but the French as well, besides myriads of vulgar craft ministering to their wants. They have done this now for two years. Well, what have they done ? They have retained their barren empire over the ocean. The ocean was theirs, and it must be said they have not yet been deprived of it. Bedouins of the trackless deep, their reign is undisputed. They march to and fro ; like the rude champion of the Philistine host, they menace and provoke. Were all the earth sea, it is manifest we are its lords. But there is the very diffi culty. The earth is not all sea. There is land, with its natural-defences, its shore , , its shoals, its shallows, its creeks, and all that fringe of neither sea nor land. There our dominion ends. The Titans are baffled, not by Jove's thunder, not by incumbent .11.1tna, bit by treacherous mud and shifting sands. Does not common sense—the common sense tbat go verns the world,—common sense that makes the con queror,—common sense that gives life to men and nations,—does not that sacred gift itself tell us that now is the time to stop building these long-cheriohed extrava gances I Granting that they have their use, and that it is still 'necessary to assert the dominion of the ocean, have we not enough of them, and more than enongh of them, for the purpose ? Have we not four, or even ten times enough, to dispose of the Russian fleet, if it should ever show itself ? Of course, if we could do everything, we might as well do everything. But we cannot do everything. In sober truth, we want craft for the "fringe,"—that which is neither sea nor land. We want a whole fleet of gun-boats, and other apparatus directly suited to the work to be done. Rich ss we fancy ourselves, we want " small change" in our fleet. We cannot do both together ; we may, perhaps, have the money ; we may, perhaps, have the' matorial, but we have not the men. The naval strength of the country is absorbed, shipwrecked, in these enormous tessels, which only ride amid seas, and meet no foe but the elements. Such a ship as that which refused to be launched yester day requires a crew equal to all the adult population of a considerable town, and costs the maintenance of a town. Imprison a thousand or twelve hundred men in a floating castle, and at the end of the year they will not have done anything in this war worth their salt. Set them free, and distribute them in a flotilla of gun boats, arid they may do something. Why, on Sir Charles Napier's authority, it takes a maple of seasons to teach a fleet the very first elements of naval warfare, such as the use of signals. If it's the Atlantic that is in question, well and good ; let us have fleets toc e ov p e r r ou it d , and signal across from Gibraltar to the Gulf of Mexico. Let us have ships that the Atl an ti c it se lf tray be to bear. But it is not the Atlantic, it is not the Medi terranean, it is hardly even the Baltic of the Black Sea that is the arena of this struggle. The quarrel is to be fought out in havens, and creeks, and narrow winding channels, in rock-strewn pools and tideless shallows. Stop every big ship ; set free every ship carpenter, every smith, every forge, every furnace in the Queen's dockyards, or in any workshop now employed by her. Transfer them at once to that smaller craft without which it is quite evident we cannot undertake offen sive operations—that is to say, without which we can not carry on the war. We ,fear it is too late to expect anything this year. Next year let us meet Russia on her own amphibious domain, We cannot doubt the final issue of the struggle ; only let us not be our own worst enemies, by wasting our strength and diverting all our resources in unprofitable demonstrations. Naval and Military Intelligence. Rear-Admiral Sir William Carroll, K.C.8., has just been appointed to succeed the late Admiral Parry in the Lieutenant-Governorship of Greenwich Hospital. The appointment is worth 8001. a year, with a suite of apart ments, the gallant officer being, in addition, entitled to retain his half-pay. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Jason, transport No. 84, will receive on board at Southampton Royal Horse Artillery for conveyance to the Crimea this day. The Jason is to accommodate 223 horses, 13 offi cers, 5 servants, and 280 men, besides the usual comple ment of ordnance, &c. Should the whole of the troops arrive during the day the vessel will sail early to-mor row. Every preparation is made to prevent the slightest delay, and all depends upon the rapidity with which the men and horses arrive at Southampton. A small paddle-wheel steam-ship, named the Wave Queen, put into Southampton docks yesterday. She is of great length and unusually narrow, and has been pur chased by Government of Messrs. Scott Russell and Co., shipbuilders, for the speedy conveyance of despatches in either the Baltic or Black Sea. On Monday the service companies of the 56th (West Essex) Regiment (the Pompadours) left Dublin by the Kingstown Railway for embarkation in the Imperatriz. screw steam transport, in which they are to be conveyed to the seat of war. Among the officers, 33 in number, who accompanied the regiment were the following, several having only been just appointed :—Colonels S. Oakeley and S. S. Cox ; Majors R. W. Lacy and J. J. Bull ; Captains R. Anderson, W. G. Margesson, F. M. Ramsay, H. W. Austin, M. R. Eden, W. C. Coghlan, J. Martley, and W. A. Godley ; Lieutenants E. W. Phillips, P. A. Robertson, R. T. Thompson, and H. F. Curwen ; Ensigns G. Sims, W. Turner, Taylor, and Wright ; Paymaster S. Lawson ; Adjutant H. Williams ; Quartermaster M`Grath ; Surgeon J. H. K. Innes ; Assistant-Surgeons W. Deeble and F. W. Knox. The Imperatriz is a fine screw steam-ship, barque rigged, of 1,800 tons, commanded by Capt. H. Knox. She was built for the Brazilian trade, and carries six 18-pounder carronades, in addition to the small arms provided by Government for her crew. In her Majesty's ship Hima laya, Capt. Priest commander , which had already on board 205 horses and 247 men belonging to the 12th Lancers, Ist and 2d Dragoon Guards, 10th Hussars, and 50th Foot, were embarked the following :-15 men and 10 horses'for the Scots Greys, 20 men and 40 horses for the 4th Dragoon Guards, and about 20 men and 100 horses belonging t o a lmost every cavalry regim en t a t present in the Crimea. These detachments were com manded by Cornets Wale and Richardson - and the Himalaya likewise took on board 66 men of the 13th Regiment, under the charge of Capt. Kerr and Ensign Gillett. The embarkation was superintended by Gene ral Cochrane, commanding the district ; Lieut.-Colonel Mylius ; Colonel Doyle, Assistant Quartermaster-Gene ral ; Lieut.-Tully, R.N., and Major Fairtlough, 63d Regiment. Lieut. Robinson, of the 17th Regiment, who missed his passage in the transport Royal Charlie, on her depar ture some time since from Queenstown with troops on board, and who hired one of the river steamers to over take the transport, without, however, effecting his ob i jot, has received orders iron), the Horse Guards to pro- USI" 1, 1855. oeed immediately, and at his own expense, to Malta, to join the reserve battalion stationed. there. The following officers belonging to the 57th are under 4rders to proceed to Malta, viz.—Capt. Woodall, Lieut. Russell,-Ensigns Mills, Hasted, Powell, and Thompson. :t ,The Holyrood, steam-transport, sailed yesterday from %V oolveich, with warlike implements of ev'ry description for the I3'ack Sea. The hired transport Hesper, which sailed on the 27th tilt: for the Crimea, caught fire off Ramsgate, and was lorought back to Woolwich dockyard .on Monday even ing for repairs. A number of men were kept working through the night in laying down iron plates and other necessary repairs, so that she will be in readiness to pro ceed again on her voyage this evening. The accident was occasioned through overheat, from the boilers, but the pumps being speedily set to work the fire was soon got under without any serious damage. The Dee has sailed also for Plymouth with stores, &c., from Wool wich dockyard. , , MILITIA. The Cheshire Militia are about to be presented with a new stand of colours, the presentation to be made by the IVlarebioness of Westminster. Orr Thursday last colours were presented to the Clare Regiment of 'Militia, commanded by Colonel Vandeleur. The ceremony was commenced by the Rev. Mr. Harris, the chaplain of the regiment, who read the 46th Psalm, after which the rev. gentleman delivered an address. At its conclusion, Lady Grace Vandeleur presented the colours with an appropriate speech. . PRIZE MONEY. Depirtment'of the Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset-House, July 30.

MANCHESTER, July 31.—The market has been unus ually flat and gloomy. The telegraphed accounts from Trieste in anticipation of the overland mail state that there had been no change there, prices remaining the same as at last advices, with considerable business doing. From China the advices are, that nothing was doing in manufactures, while a larger quantity of tea was coming forward, but less silk. These advices appeared to pro duce no effect on business here. Sellers say that they do not recollect a much duller market, but prices were mostly firm for cloth. Some few sales which were pressed were at lower prices. The same absence of demand was reported in the yarn-market, and the business done was inconsiderable. Prices, however, were moderately steady. The report of Messrs. John Slagg and Co. of the cloth-market says : " The demand for goods has been exceedingly inani mate throughout the past week, and the business done has been quite insignificant in amount. To-day there is even less disposition on the part of buyers to operate, but, for the reasons given in our last report, there is no anxiety to sell, and consequently no change in prices." Messrs. John Pender and Co. report : "We have had a very quiet market to-day ; little_ fine ness doing, but prices much the same as last Tuesday- LEEDS, July 31.

Macpher son Grant, of Ballindalloch, Sir Joseph Radcliffe, Lady Radcliffe, and Misa Radcliffe, &c. • .- - -"Yesterday the first annual meeting of the shareholders of this cmpany was held at their offices, 118, ; Lord Viscount Ranelagh in the chair. The meeting having been opened in the usual manner, The SECRETARY (Mr. Urquhart) read the report of the directors, which was to the following effect :-- " In meeting the shareholders of the St-George Assurance Company, at the close of the first actual business year of ~ its existence, the directors had high satisfaction in being able to congratulate both the proprietors and the assured upon the results accomplished, and the position attained by the company, which were such as to leave no doubt of its establishment on a sound and secure basis, and of its pros perity and development for the future. " Originated at a period of unusual depression and diffi culty, when the breaking out of the present war, and the prolpect of increased taxation, had added, greatly to the obstacles which the competition amongst assurance com panies offered to the establishment of a new. office, *the St. George Assurance Company had achieved' an amount of success (at a moderate outlay) inferior to none of its con temporaries, and greatly surpassing that obtained during the first year by most of the offices established within the last ten years. • " From the commencement of business on the 10th of May, 1854, to the present time, 548 proposals for assuring sums amounting to 150,2601. had been received by the di rectors. Some of these (being dependent on loans, which it was not. thought advisable to grant) ha,d`not been carried out, whilst others had been declined or abandoned on va rious grounds • but it was highly satisfactory - to state that 331 policies had been actually completed and issued, as suring sums amounting to 6.7,5351, and produ c i ng an an nual income of 2,095/. 14s. 4d. ; whilst assurances to the amount of 5,900/., and producing premiums to the amount of 185/. 6s. 9d. per annum, were in course of completion, thus making up the present annual income of the company from premiums to the sum of 2,8811.19. 1(1. " Nearly the whole of the policies issued were on the participating scale, and on young lives ; and the directors believed (from the caution they had exercised in carrying out the recommendations of their medical officers) that nearly the whole of the assured might be considered as among the class of 'select lives,' or such as would secure to the company a more than average immunity from losses by death.... " The directors desired' especially to call attention to the fact that the company had beeq entirely unfettered by the burden of large preliminary . expenses, in the shape of pay ments, by shares or otherwise, to promoters, solicitors, &c. Not one single free share had been' issued ; nor had any sha)El3 been introduced into the market ; and only such an amount of capital bad been called up as was sufficient to meet the expenses of establishing and conducting the unr- rent business of the company. - -- "The attention of the board had been anxiously directed to the organisation of the staff of really respectable and working agents, whose exertions, they trusted, would be successful in extending the knowledge of the company both at hems and abroad ; and they had reason to hope that the next and future years would show the beneficial re sults of their exertions in that respect— "ln conclusion, the directors earnestly invited the co operation of the proprietors and the assured, both indi vidually and collectively, in their endeavours to extend the business, and promote generally the objects of the com pany." _ _ - The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked that it was unlike the first report of any similar company, inasmuch as it was very short, and very much to the point ; and he hoped that it was also satis factory. The directors had in that document laid before the shareholders a brief account of the operations of the company for the past year, and it was, he conceived, un necessary for him to enter into a more lengthened detail of them. In fact, his speech should be lice the report itself—brief. In taking a review of their past proceed. ings he found that there existed no great necessity for' eulogium to heighten their value and importance. In deed, he knew of no office the preliminary and working expenses of which had been so low, for very little of their money had been so appropriated. Of the 4,7501. subscribed they had still on hand the sum of 3,9911. as" available capital. As mentioned in the report, and: confirmed by the figures in the statement of their ac counts, which were after all the best possible test of the management of the office, free shares had not been given to anybody, nor had they been thrown on the market. Their capital bad not as yet been all called up, and he hoped that they bad now a busi ness large enough to make a call on the shareholders un necessary. Referring to the expenses, he found that they had been as small as it was possible for them to expect them to be. They had paid 2541. for advertise ments, and 6371. for travelling expenses in the establish. ment of agencies throughout the country. These iteres constituted the principal preliminary expenses to which they had been put, and which were not by any means E o heavy as ihose under which other new offices groaned. They had at present, it was true, some agents of whom they would be g l a d t o ge t r id, but other offices were similarly situated. The different assurance offices would do well if they met together and compared notes as re girded their agents, as he could not but think that the result of their conference would be the saving of a large sum of money for each. As regarded their working ex penses, they too were small, and were kept down to the lowest possible amount convenient with efficient management. The figures of the balance-sheet showed that the directors were in every way careful of the money of the shareholders, and that was a cours e of economy which it was their determination to pur sue. It was true that the rent of their premises was nominally high, being 5301. per annum ; but at present they were in reality only under 1201. yearly rent. The next poiat to which he wished to refer was the character of the lives they hal assured, and that they owed a deep debt to their medical men for the care and skill which they exercised in selecting as good lives as they pos sibly could. There was another feature worthy of con sideration with respect to the parties they had assured, and that was that they were all men likely to keep up their policies. He might remark that a sum of 4501. llitirbVni*eti ap.re' as thirrereirnektioit of titer-dtreitbry,. but they had not 'used half of , it, having only drawn 2121. Haying expressed his 'readiness to answer alt questions relating to the affairs of ,the company, the noble lord concluded his address by moving the adop tion of the report: Mr. MALINS briefly seconded the motion, which was at once agreed to. The out-going directors—namely, Lord Ranelagh, Mr. H. Powna.l, Mr. H. Haine', and Mr. W. H. Larnmin—were, on the motion of Mr. John Buckmaster, seconded by Mr. George Buckmasiiror, re-elected. Mr. STACE, the retiring auditor, was also re-elected, and returned thanks for the honour, and for the vote of 301., as the remuneration of himself a n d co ll eagues . o the motion of Dr. DODSWORTH, seconded by Mr. COLLINGRIDGE, the directors received the thanks of the company for their services during the past year. A similar vote was, on the motion of the Chairman, awarded to the secretary, Mr. Urquhart, and the other officers of the company. Mr. 11. PowNAd then moved a vote of thanks to Lord Ranelagh, for his conduct in the chair—a nobleman, who, he observed, not only brought the weight of bis title to the company, but also great energy and inde pendence of spirit, enlarged views, anc: urbanity of manners. Mr. HAINES seconded the proposition, and, in doing so, took occasion to mention the fair prospect of success with which the Liverpool agency had been established ; and his lordship having briefly acknowledged the com pliment, the proceedings terminated. A triumphal arch is being erected in front of the ter minus of the Strasbourg railway, in preparation for the visit of Queen Victoria. DETERMINED SUICIDF.—The family of Dr. Murphy, residing in Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, have been thrown into a state of much painful excitement, through the death of the doctor's youngest son, Mr. William Murphy, under most distressing circumstances. The unfortunate deceased had absented himself from home for a lengthened period, and nothing was heard respecting his whereabouts until within a few days since, when his brother hearing that he was lodging at a public house situated at Thames Haven Dock, in Es sex, went there in search of him. He found the mis guided youth at the public house in question, and up braided him for his conduct, and entreated him to return to his father's home without delay. The youth left the house, and proceeding a few yards from the door, placed a loaded pistol to his heart and shot himself dead on the spot. The anguish of the deceased's parents, upon hearing of the lamentable catastrophe, is not to be de scribed. THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF POISONING NEAR DAR LINGTON.—The inquest on the body of Mrs. Wooler, the wife of Mr. Joseph Snaith Wooler, a gentleman of inde pendent means, residing at Great Burdon, having re sulted in an " open verdict," the brother of the deceased lady, Mr. W. A. Brecknell, of Gateshead, obtained a warrant from Colonel Colling, one of the county magis trates, and Mr. Wooler, who was from home, was ap prehended at Durham at a late hour on Friday night by Superintendent Robson, of the Durham county consta bulary force. The prisoner was conveyed to Darli ngton, so o Da m vi u so c n h and was brought before the magistrates on M onday, when Mr. Davison, barrister-at -law, appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended stated he h i ! . evidence only on that occasion as would justify a re wJo. u A ld lars ia h y all, bef o o f re D g i c r li cei the t y ha o t b t s h e e rv d e e d . u th rh e am ienc M h r. mane], when further evidence wouHld.

The ex amination of the medical witnesses occupied the bench about five hours, at the close of which the prisoner was remanded until Monday next. Mr. Marshall applied to the Bench for an order for the exhumation of the body of Mrs. Wooler, in order that the portion of the liver and intestines remaining may be sent for analysis to some eminent analytical chemist. He said he had applied to the Secretary of State, who replied that he bad no power. He bad also applied to the rector of the parish.
