The royal cortege consisted of four open carriages, each drawn by four horses. In the first carriage were seated the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and Lord and Lady Clarendon. In the second, the Countess of Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting ; the Hon. Miss Dawson, Maid of Honour; Sir G. Grey, and Earl Fortescue. The third contained the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir James Clarke, Mr. G. E. Anson, and the Master of the Horse. In the last carriage were the Hon. Colonel Alexander Gordon, Mr. Corry Connellan, Colonel C. Phipps, and Mr. Charles Villiers. A troop , of Lancers formed the escort. The royal cortege left the Phoenix-park, at twelve clock, and passed through Colonel White's private gate along the Woodlands to Carton. Many parts of the route were decorated with triumphal arches, fl ags, laurels, and wreaths. Crowds of well- dressed persons had collected, anxious to pay yet another tri bute of homage to the Queen. They testified their ardent loyalty by the most energetic plaudits. The royal cortege reached Carton at ten minutes after one. 1 he gro un d s of the ducal mansion were thrown open to the public, and its beautiful parterres were crowded With ladies, gentlemen, and many of the poorer classes. The Queen and Prince Albert immediately presented themselves on the terrace, and ore being recognised by the multitude were loudly and most enthusiastically cheered. Two regimental bands Were stationed on the ter race and p la y ed favourite airs. The royal standard fluated from the roof of the mansion, and marquees were erected on the terrace, in which an elegant luncheon was laid out. The Queen remained at Carton about an hour, and then returned to Phoenix-park. DEPARTURE FOR BELFAST. At half-past six o'clock her Majesty, with Prince Albert and ti.e juvenile members of the Royal Family, attended by Lord and Lady Clarendon and Sir tkorge Grey, proceeded from the Vice-regal Lodge in two royal open carriages and three close car liagEs, belonging to his Excellency, for the railway statics in 11 . (stland-row. They were most voci ferously and enthusiastically cheered , and on ta kin g their places in the railway carriages an express e ngine conveyed them to Kingstown. The close of her Majesty's visit was as brilliant as its Commencement. Hundreds o!' thousands witnessed her progress to Kingstown, and were present at the embarkation. The cheers which bade her good Speed, the cries for a happy return, were uttered with the most touching fervour, and her Majesty seemed to feel and acknowledge the affliction of her subjects. The squadron, with toe usual royal salutes and yards all manned, got under weigh at a quarter before seven °i clook, and with a light breeze proceeded towards Lelfast. Kingstown, to the end of the pier, was crowded to surkcation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES.—FRIDAY. Sweepstakes of 5 Sous. each, 2 it, with a purse of 30 sovs added. Bristol mile. (5 Subs.)

PitiC.F.S OF SIIAiItES INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY. A meeting was held last night in Gc-crge-street, Sloane-sqm:o , ', for the ptrposo of expressing sym pathy with the struggle of the Ilungnrian nation fcr its con , titutioilal rights and priil,ges. Mr. FIELD presided, and, after a few preliminary observations tendivg to show that the cause of Hun gary was the cause of liberty and progression all over the world, called upon Mr. C. Nienonns, who proposed the first resolu tion. It was to the following effect : " That this meeting, while viewing with indigna tion and sorrow the effusion by the barbaric hordes of Austria and Russia of the blood of our Hungarian brethren, yet locks with delight, admiration, and sympathy upon the heroic determination manifested by them in their present struggle for independence and the estisblisnment of democratic institutions, and hereby affirms them to have deserved well of huma nity therefore." In comparing the successes of democracy upon the continent with the victories of despotism, he said, they could not fail coming to the conclusion, flat white democracy had advanced despotiAo had been crusted, tt:al that the power of despots was now confined v ith in very narrow limits as compared with former years. Never had greater intgnanimity and moderation been shown to opponents and enemies than that evinced by the leaders of modern democracy, Kossuth and Mazziei ; but what did they see on the part of those who attempted to ciush every effort of freedom, but a brute cruelty which slaugh,.ered, without distinction, men, women, and children, for the simplest exhibition of popular feeling ? After alluding to the noble and dignified manner in which the Hungarians had withstood their oppressors, be concluded by quoting an expression from Kossuth, that he who helped himself was of God helped, and that however injustice and lies might succeed for a while, they would at last defeat themselves. Mr. HENRY Nicuoans, in seconding the resolu tion, said it was their duty, as men professing to be free, to show aristocrats and autocrats that if they combined to crush freedom, freedom would com bine its forces' to crush them.—(Cheers.) If the free nations of the world had remonstrated before at the interference of Austria and Russia, there would be no necessity now to call meetings to show that the sympathy of England went with the Hungarians; but, as that had not been done, it became their duty indig nantly to denounce the atrocities which had been committed by those two tyrannical powers—for the Hungarian people counted upon the aid of every nation seeking fur freedom.—(Cheers.) The resolution being put, was carried unanimously. Mr. ALFRED GOODWILL moved—" That this meet ing hereby calls upon her Majesty's Government at once to recognise the independence of the Hungarian Republic, to demand of the Cabinets of St. Peters burgh and Vienna the immediate withdrawal of their troops from that country, and, in the event of their refusing compliance, to declare w ar against them." He said he was not actuated in moving this resolution by any inherent love for war; he was convinced of the evils of it ; but there were worse evils than war, and greater good sometimes than peace. If a person saw a man attacked in the street by thieves and murderers, and looked on without interfering to stop the assailants, he was, in law, considered an accessory to the fact, and if England was a quiet spectator of the spoliation committed by Austria and Russia, she was placed in such a position that she could not fail to be looked upon as a party to it. Lord Palmerston had justified his non-intervention policy by saying that the Austrian empire was a most important element in the balance of European power; that it stood in the centre of Europe, and was a barrier to encroachments on the one side and invasion on the other. But the fact was that the Hungarians were engaged in a life.and-death struggle, a struggle which would end either in liberty or in slavery without limit—in self-government or in unmitigated despotism. It was absurd then for the opponents of war to say, "let us have peace," when thousands of their fellow-creatures were being slaughtered by hordes of Austrian and Russian barbarians. Mr. THOMPSON seconded the resolution. The Hungarians only demanded those liberties which had been guaranteed to them by previous Sovereigns, and they did not take up arms to defend their rights until every legal and constitutional means had been first tried in order to secure them. It was difficult to ascertain from the ukase of the Czar, which had been published to justify his interference, where he meant to stop. The fact was this, he was alarmed at the progress of liberal opinions in Hungary, which, being contiguous to his dominions, was likely to give him a good deal of trouble, and he was very anxious to assist his neighbour the Emperor of Austria in order to put down those opinions. Aggrandisement had alwaa s been, and would still be, the policy pur sued by Russia. The Czar only wanted a pretext for extending his dominions, and shOuld he be suc cessful in putting down the Hungarian people, did they think that he would take back his troops, or that even Hungary wculd be added to the Crown of Austria ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It would be much easier, however, to prevent either of these casualties happening before than after the Russian bear had succeeded in subjugating the people. —(Hear). The escutcheon of British honour would not be made any brighter by their standing by quietly witnessing a people butchered, especially when this was coupled with the fact, that England gave its IN 8A..1'.1.F.-0, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COU PANIES STOCK.

The independence of Hungary was the recognition of a principle which was sup ported by every free nation, and the reason why the Emperor of Russia bad not yet succeeded, was because he did not carry public opinion with him. In the freedom of Hungary were wrapped the liberties of the world, and therefore it behoved the English Government to see that its inde pendence was not crushed.--(Cheers.) The resolution was carried with applause. A memorial to her Majesty, embodying the two resolutions, and praying that she might be graciously leased to recognise w he ithdr p awal ublic un of the troops of Austria and Russia, and, in the event of a refusal, to declare war against the despotic and savage assailants of the Hungarian people was then agreed to. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—An inquest was he Thursday before Mr. Higgs, at the King's Head, Edmonton, on the body of Mr. Richard Wonder, aged 62, an omnibus proprietor, who was killed under the fol. lowing circumstances:— It appeared that on Tuesday morning last, at 11 o'clock, the omnibus which was then due for London was about to start from Lower Edmon ton, when the deceased said ho would drive it up to town. On reaching Stamford-hill the omnibus was stopped, and a lady alighted, who was followed by the conductor carrying her box. During the absence of the conductor, another lady approached the omnibus, and the deceased handed the reins to one of the outside passengers. He descended from the box, and, after letting the passenger in, slammed the door, and the horses instantly started forward. They were pulled back by the passenger who had the reins, and the sudden check caused the animals to fall back heavily upon the omnibus. The force was so great that the top of the polo instantly broke off, and the horses commenced plunging in a most fearful manner. The deceased immediately went in front of them, and caught the reins of the off-side horse and endeavoured to quiet them, but without success. They still kept kicking and plunging, and dragged the deceased some distance along the ground, is hen he suddenly relin quished his hold and fell forward between their legs upon his face. The horses finding themselves free im mediately started forwards, and both the off wheels of the vehicle passed over his head and back. The horses, after running along the road with considerable speed, were stopped without doing any further damage, with the exception that the passengers were terribly alarmed, and one gentleman jumped off the box, but fortunately £ soup d without receiving any injury. The deceased was picked up in a state of insensibility. Mr. Hammond, a surgeon, attended, and prononnced life to be quite ex tinct, and said there was no doubt he was killed oa the spot. Verdict—Accidental Death. Ed on :4ower Trutt 81:1X4 LOWTION'o' SATTIRDAN: EVENING, AUGUST 11 'FRANCE. • M. de Lamartice has a(!dresssd the follovking letter to the Debats " Monsieur,—l have read in yesterday's OitTassion an interruption againit which I protest with all Le en:Tgy of truth. A representative, relative to the foreign policy which I directed at tile commencement of the It -•public, pretended that I had said in the Committee of the Constituent Assembly, ' I will ruin or compromise Charles Albert: Such conduct would have been as odious and as anti-Italian as anti-French. I was misunderstood, for it is the very op posite which I said and did. I interdicted out egews, I intedicted myself, to have a single thought, a single gee ture, of a nature to urge Charles Albert to a war, in order that France should not be responsible fur a war under taken on her incitation!. Consult the amba.sadors, dis patches, agents, M.Bixio, M. Bois• le Comte, the Sardinian Government itself. I said when the war was commenced without our participation—' Let us form the army of the Alps; it will remain motionless as long as we shall have neither danger nor right in the question. It will pass the Alps; it will protect Pied montese; it will become cn aimed mediatio❑ in one of the two cases—the first, it Judy calls on us; the second, if Charles Albert is con quered, and Piedmont, the Lulwark ot France, is invaded.' 'I he first case was not verified; I aly (Ld not call on us, but the contrary. The second case was vet ilied; Charles Albert was conquered. Piedmont 'was invaded. The army of the Alps did not advance to succour Charles Albert and his kingdom, it is true; but I was no longrr in the Government. I declared twice in the tribune that I would have marched. The Provisional Govern ment, the Executive Committee, and the Generals kr.ow it. Such is the truth. You perceive, Monsieur, that there is a great difference between that and the Machiavellian system of ruining and compro niLing an adventurous, unfortunate, and brave Prince, whom the Republic could not either urge to war without P 9 eititly or aid in spite of himself without p re t ex t, cr abandon after his reverses without danger for our fron tiers and our cause. Had I said what the interruption attributes to me, I should be not only the lowest of diplomatists, but the most thoroughly deprived of proper feeling.-1 have the honour to be, &c., "Paris, August 8.

DENISON, M.P.—The late Mr. Denison, M.P. for West Surrey, and senior partner in the banking firm of Denisons, Heywood, and Ken nard, has died worth more than two millions of money, the principal part of which is settled upon Lord Albert Conyngham and his heirs. The Yorkshire estates of this wealthy man are valued at more than 500,0001, those i❑ Surrey at 100,0001.; the remainder of the pro perty is in the funds and other securities. We are glad to hear that the Marquis of Conyngham has not been forgotten; his deceased relative having left him a band some legacy. The whole property is valued at 2,300,000/, a sum sufficient to support any title, and a sum which we hope may always be in as safe hands as the present fortunate possessor has proved himself to be, or a shrewd mau like Mr. Denison would never have placed him in his present position.

ACCIDENT AT THE FLORA GARDENS. —Last night an accident of a serious character took place at the Flora-gardens, W yn dham-road, Camberwell. Amongst the entertainments was the exhibition of the Messrs. de Witte, the Flying Brothers, the one us Mercury, the Flying Wonder, and nimbus, the God o f D a y, who were to take a flight across the garden, at an immense height, on a slack wire, and surrounded with fireworks. At ten o'clock the youths commenced their perilous task, when, suddenly, to the great terror and alarm of the spectators, when the elder brother had reached the centre of the wire, it snapped and he descended to the ground with fearful violence. He was speedily extri cated, but not until he was severely burnt about the body and legs, but in other respects he escaped without injury. His extraordinary preservation .is attributable to his having been caught by the branches of a tree. Mr. King, a neighbouring surgeon, was speedily in attend ance, and restored the poor fellow to consciousness. Mr. Henning, the proprietor, suspecting f ou l pl a y, cause d a n immediate examination of the wire, when it was found to have been bent or twisted so as to break on the slightest strain. Mr. Henning at once offered a rewar d o f 501. for the apprehension of the delinquents.

The balance, made up to the Ist of July, and taking into account the claim of the Brighton, and outstanding claims, was stated to be 10,0001. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to various questions, stated that the outstanding calls amounted to 1,089/., and that they calculated. about half would be received, which would leave a sum of from 6,000/. to 6,400/. to be divided among the proprietors, or about 1/. 7s. or 1/. Bs. per share. The Brighton directors had been empowered by the proprietors to enforce their claim, and he supposed they must do so. Parties who had not paid, and did not pay up their calls, would forfeit all they had paid. Mr. SUTTON (who is also solicitor to the Brighton Company) intimated that he should advise the direc tors of that company that they could not recover interest. After some discussion the report and accounts were adopted, a resolution dissolving the company was agreed to, and the meeting broke up. BOSTON, STAMFORD, AND BIR MINGIIAM RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was held yesterday afternoon at the Great Northern offices in Moorgate street. Mr. Thomas Macaulay, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report of the directors was as follows : " Your directors have to inform you that the reso lution unanimously adopted at the extraordinary general meeting of proprietors of this company, on Monday, the 14th day of May last, (whereby the offer of the Great Northern Company to pay 6 per cent. upon half the capital, by giving you in exchange an equal value in shares of the Roy stun and Hitehin Company, was accepted and ordered to be carried out) has been confirmed at an extraordinary general meeting of the Great Northern Company held for that pur pose. Since that time your directors have been occupied in considering the measures calculated for the completion, at the earliest convenient period, of the arrangement then entered into, and they have thought it advisable in the first instance to make a call of 21. 4s. per share on the share capital of this company, which amount was due on the 25th of last month, and a large portion of which has now been received. This will so far equalize the values of Boston, Stamford and Birmingham, and the Royston and Ithchin shares, that five of the former, having 71. 4s. each paid up, or 361, will be exchange able for eight of the latter, upon which 41. 10s. has been called, or 2,6/ and the balance, a sum equal to 21. 16s. on each Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham share, or IL 15s. on each Royston and Hitchin share, will shortly be called for under the Act of the Roys ton and Hitchin Company, thus ensuring 6 per cent. upon 101. per share to the proprietors of this company, as agreed upon at the extraordinary general meeting. The amounts received in advance of calls under the previous arrangements of the company are in course of being returned with interest to date, to those proprietors who paid them. The deeds requisite for completing the ex change of the shares will shortly be ready for signature, of which the proprietors will be informed by circular, when all proprietors, on delivering up to the secretary their sealed certificates of the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham Company, and executing the deed of acceptance of the Royston and Hitchin shares, will receive sealed certificates, and be regis tered as proprietors on the books of the Royston and Hitchin Company. The accounts for the half year ending June 30th have been audited, and the general balance-sheet is hereto annexed." The balance-sheet stated the receipts to amount to 62,114 i. 145., and the expenditure to 58,9271. 17s. GI, leaving 3,1861. 16s. sd. in hand. The CHAIRMAN observed that the report and ac counts did not include the recent calls. He had nothing to say upon the general affairs of the com pany, but if any gentleman wished to know anything as to the future he should be happy to furnish the information if it were in his power to do so. A PROPRIETOR wished to know it the deed referred to in the report would be forwarded to the provinces for signatures ? The CHAIRMAN said every facility would be afforded the proprietors for signing the deed. In answer to further questions, The CHAIRMAN stated that the exchange of the original shares for Royston and Hitchin shares would take place almost immediately, the deed of transfer being now in active preparation. It was expected that half the Royston and Hitchin capital would be expended in the course of the next two months, when the Railway Commissioners would be called upon to give their certificate, and then the 6 per cent. would come into operation. The 6 per cent. would still be guaranteed even if the line were not com pleted by its present proprietors, the great North- Western Company having undertaken to pay 6 per cent. on half the capital immediately upon its being paid up and expended. The report was then adopted; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman and directors, the meeting :erminated. EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. The first annual meeting of this important com pany was held yesterday, at the offices 34, Cornhill; James Macgregor, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, The SECRETARY read the following report : "At so early a stage of the existence of this company, the shareholders will hardly expect this, the first report of the directors, to announce extensive operations as yet effected, involving considerable outlay, or promising immediate returns or dividends. " At any time, and under any circumstances, the directors would have adopted the path of economy and prudence; but during the successive and pro- tracted convulsions which have now, for a long time, so violently disturbed all tile political and mercantile affairs of nearly the whole civilized world, it was impossible for the directors to be too cautious in their management of the affairs of this company " A careful observance of this edings preclude any accounts of considerable r P oce the of the company up to this time, and reducedthan a present task of the directors to scarcely more policy necesscrily reference to their introductory measures, a co.n ssamunederrut;eksthogi gratulation of the shareholdersb having escaped the dangers which have overwhelmed so many others, not guided y caution and frugality.

" The directors have furnished Mr. Motley with sufficient means to enable him to commence working the mines, and the Eastern Archipelago Company's agents at Singapore, Messrs.

(From Eliot Warburton's " Memoirs of Prince Rupert.") He had just begun his great mission, and come down from the north in as pure a cause, and far more comprehensive than Tell or Hofer fought for. He was the champion of spiritual freedom, and his heroic armies never disgraced their proud calling. Hear from one of themselves how the soldiers of the Pro testant king prepared for battle : "No sooner had the dawne appeared (on the field of Leipzig) than we begunne the morninge with offering our soules and bodyes as living sacrifices unto God. Lifting up our hearts and hands to Heaven, we begged for reconciliation in Christ by our publique prayers and our secret sighs, recommending ourselves, the successes and event of the day to God, which being done by us all, we marcht forward in God's name."—Munro, p. 63. The readers will recognise the example set hereby to the English Puritans, who "sung a psalm and drubbed all before them." And as Sir Francis Doyle has it, in his excellent poem of " The Cava lier :" "All accounts confirm the favourable opinion already published of the Labuan coal ; and the fact that, in April last, Labuan coal sold in the market at Singa• pore at seven dollars per ton, seems conclusive on this head. " The China mail steamers will, in all probability, very soon be required to call a t Labuan, and from its advantageous position, no sooner will the works of the company be known to be in full and regular operation, than a considerable demand for Labuan coal must follow with certainty and regularity. The balance-sheet made up to 30th June shows the mo netary affairs of the company, and from it the share. holders will see that the expenses have been on the most rigid scale of economy. "Hitherto no call beyond the deposit of 51. per share has been made, but a further call of 51. per share will be made in October next. By the consti tution of this corporation all the present directors, excepting the managing director, Mr. \Vise, vacate their functions at this present ordinary general meeting of shareholders. They are all eligible for re-election, and offer themselves accordingly. In addition to the present number, Sir John N. R. Campbell, K.C.H., Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. G. T. Keppel, M.P., and Colonel Rawdon, M.P., have seve rally offered themselves as candidates for the office of directors. The charter, deed of settlement, corre spondence, accounts, and balance-sheet of the company are open for the inspection of the shareholders daily, during business hours, at the offices of the company, 34, Cornbill " " And though they snuffled psalms, to give Those rebel dogs their due, When the roaring shot poured thick and hot, They were stalwart men and true." Gustavus conceived the noble and politic design, too little thought of since, of elevating the moral and physical condition of the soldier ; scorning the false and vulgar theory, that the more degraded and. mechanical the more efficient was his service. Tilly'a doctrine was " a ragged soldier and a bright musket," and obliged him to permit the fiend-like sack of Magdebourg: Gustavus was zealous for his people's character and comfort, and he could afford magnanimously to spare Munich. The Imperialist generals allowed such licence to their ruffian soldiery that their progress, even through a friendly country, was like a stream of lava; the Swedish army left no enemy behind except him who had died with armed hand. The camps of the Holy Roman Empire swarmed with dissolute women ; those of the Pro testant King contained none but the wives of his soldiers. Even his soldiers' children were well pro vided for with schools and rations, and kept in as strict discipline as their father:, thus iurnishing recruits trained to arms and order from their cradle.* Rich regiment had two chaplains, men chosen for their character, who also partook of the military character, accompanying them to battle, cheering them in the advance, and soothing them in their dying howl . Such an army, under such a leader, must have been invincible, or ceased to exist : it was invincible ; the progress of Gustavus is without any parallel in history. * The following story is interesting:—" The moment the forces began to iutrench themselves, the children were led to a safe quarter for their place of study. One day, contrary to the expectation of the general who allotted them their ground, a cannon ball happening to pierce through the canvass walls of the school, killed two or three children at a stroke. The rest, far from quitting their places, neither changed colour nor dropped a pen or a book from their hands.' , f I have met an anecdote (I furget where) character istic of this camp. Friedhelm was a Swedish minister of great repute for his piety, patriotism, and eloquence. Ile could not remain quiet in his own country, when such great things were doing and to be done for the religion that he preached, and he joined the army before tho battle of Leipzig. The soldiers welcomed him eagerly, and besought him to preach to them. They placed a drum for a pulpit, and gathered round in crowds to bear his sermon. The minister of the gospel of peace looked out upon the battle-field, dark to the horizon with a countless host about to meet in deadly struggle: over powered by his feelings, he could only say, " My brethren, yonder is the enemy !" then, pointing upward, " There is God! Pray !" He was silent, burying Lis fuco iu Lis hands, and the soldiers sank down as one man upon their knees. The report was adopted, and ordered to be circu lated among the shareholders. The directors were then re-elected, and the follow ing gentlemen added to their number :—Sir John `N. R. Campbell, K.C.11., Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. G. T. Keppel, M.P., and Colonel Rawdon, M.P. Mr. W. C. Wright was elected auditor, in the room of the former auditor, who, from being absent in America, was disqualified for the post. It was then moved and seconded that the directors be authorised to borrow on bond or bonds, under the seal of the company, any sum or sums of money not exceeding on the whole 5,0001., at the rate of five per cent. interest. The SECRETARY, in reply to a question, said the directors had power, under the deed of settlement, to borrow 10,0001. It was not now absolutely neces sary to borrow 5,000/., but as the next meeting would not take place until the 10th of August next year, it was thought advisable to give liberty of action to the directors, in case they should be called upon to incur any expense in the interval. The CHAIRMAN said it was the intention of the Admiralty and the Colonial-office to require the vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam-packet Company to call at Labuan on their way to China, and in the event of being suddenly called upon to supply them with coal, they were desirous of being in a position to comply with the request. The Go vernment were determined to maintain an establish ment at Labuan as a great central point which would command the commerce of the oriental seas. The present First Lord of the Admiralty had made up his mind upon the subject, and he had no doubt that Lord Palmerston and Earl Grey would take the same view of the matter. _ Mr. MACLEOD wished to know how the Oriental Company had behaved with respect to the supply of coal at Labuan ? The CHAIRMAN said that was rathcr a delicate sulject to talk about just then, but he might say that from motives best known to themselves they had as yet done very little towards coming to any ar rangement. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. COWES, A CCUST 10, 18-19. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. YOUNG.—Has the Government power to order the vessels to stop at Labuan ? The SECRETARY—Yes ; they have reserved to themselves that power in the contracts entered into with the company. If the proposed arrangements for calling at Labuan be carried out, an enormous saving will be effected, because the freight from Labuan to Singapore and Hong-Kong will be saved. We are anxious to be in a position, therefore, if the Government should say, " are you ready to supply our steamers with coal, ? " to auuswer in the !native. The present coal obtained at Labuan is only surface coal, and it is necessary before any great supply can be got at, to have the veins skilfully and properly opened up. This surface coal has already been sold to her Majesty's navy at the rate of 11. per ton, by a person at Labuan, who is now, however, prevented obtaining a further supply, that right having been ceded to this company. The resolution was then agreed to. The financial statement was then read, from which it appeared that the preliminary expenses of the com pany were 460/. Os. Bd., the office expenses and salaries, 8691. is. iOd., and the expense of the establishment at Labuan 3791. 10s. 61. A small balance remained in hand. The CHAIRMAN observed that the company was conducted with the utmost economy, not only here, but also at Labuan. Mr. Motley, a gentleman v►ho had shown great skill in exploring and opening up mines in Wales, had been sent out there by the company. lie had been chosen by Sir IL De la 13eche, a gentleman whose name was a sufficient pledge of the confidence which might be reposed in him by the shareholders. A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Macgregor, for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting separated. ARRIVALS. Aug. 4. ➢iajie, schooner, Viscount Templeton, from Portsmouth. 5.

At the Countess of (Bengali's dinner party yesterday, at Harriet Lodge, were the I)uke of Beaufort, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Lord and Lady Newport, and a large party of fashionables. The Wyvern is the only yccht at present entered for Prince Albert's Cup. Should no others enter before twelve o'clock to-night, the plate will be sailed for by second class schooners (under 140 tons), when we expect some good ones will enter, and a good day's sport is antici pated on the 15th. The dinner is to take place on the 16th, and on the 17th her Majesty's Plate, value 100 guineas, will be sailed for by yachts under 73 tons. Robson is engaged to light up the subject in the evening with one of his most splendid displays of fireworks on shore and afloat. We Lave had a very considerable addition to our fashionable visitors within the last few days. Still not more than half our houses are occupied, and this though the rents have been reduced to little more than halt what they were last year. The death of the old Commodore was, we tear, a death-blow to yacht ing. The old Earl was the cord that bound the mem. bers together, and the black-balling system the rock on which the squadron will, it is probable at no very dis tant period, break up. They can hardly now get up 4 friendly dinner; and as for a ball as of old, it i s qu it e out of the question, the ladies have lost their charms— yachtsmen are no longer ladies' men. --- A DOUBLE BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE—CURIOUS AND NOVEL CASE. A very extraordinary and amusing csel,rocra,crhactsh e a. cases, for there were two of the m , f promise of marriage , . came on f or hearing at the 13ailieborough Sessionslately, the first case, Wilson Dunlop, a farmer, residing in Cootshill, was plaintiff, and J. Wallace, otherwise Evans, his wire, were defendants. The civil bill process stated that it was " an action for the sum of 91., so much loss and damage sustained by the plaintiff by reason of the defendant Elizabeth having in spring last agreed to marry him, which in duced him to procure a marriage licence (which bore date the 2d March, 1849), wedding apparel, and other expensive and necessary things, to celebrate the said intended wedding; but, notwithstanding said pro mises, she refused to marry him ; and, in the month of March aforesaid, intermarried with the defendant, James Wallace, and therefore he brings his suit, and so forth." And the second case, which was what is termed a cross cause, was "an action for a like sum of 91., at the suit of the said James Wallace, and the said Elizabeth Wallace, otherwise Evans, his wife, against the said Wilson Dunlop, for so much money plaintiffs should have and recover from the defendant, he hav ing, in the said month of March last, agreed with and promised to marry the plaintiff Elizabeth, she being then sole and unmarried ; in consequence of which she was put to great cost, loss, and expense, in pro curing a wedding dinner, and other necessaries, pre paratory to the solemnization of said intended mar riage ; as also for that she supplied the defendanotn,thas his request, on fourteen several days, h T. 3 .3 of February and March last, during theeisnptriecd when he was wooing and ales, and paying his asdtires,4sinetsoc, her, with sumptuous dinners, includ d in e g :ser c t o of s weetmeats and spirits, together he (defendant) fruit; but, notwit7Zc a lin all which, without any ju st cause or re ason, refused or declined to fulfil his agreement, and marry her (the said Elizabeth), after putting her to such cost and expense ; a id there fore she brings this suit, and so forth. Th e reading of some letters caused immense laughter, the orthography being of the strangest de scription. Ater order had been in some degree restored, the parties came on the fable, and the first of them e xa mined was Mrs. Wall ace, w h o, on being asked by Mr. B. Armstrong, th e l eca l Crown solicitor (Dun lop's attorney ), if she was no t gui l ty o f ccminitting a breach of promise to marry Wilson Dunlop, she replied with great emphasis, and in a very impassioned tone of voice, that it was Le (W. D.) who had com mitted the breach of promise to marry her, as she was ready to be married, having the bridesmaid and wedding dinner ready; but he did not come on the DEATH rnom PoisoN.—Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Grave Maurice public-house, Whitechapel, on the body of Mr. J. J. Watts, aged 66, one of the parochial surgeons of St. George's-in the-East, who died in Whitechapel work house from the effects of poison. It appeased that on Tuesday night last the deceased, who for some weeks had been absent from his parochial duties, and who had in consequence been suspended, accompanied by a woman of the name of Sarah Craig, engaged a bed at the Britannia coffee-house, White chapel-road ; both be and his companion appeared in good health and . perfectly sober.

A paper of powders, containing corrosive sublimate was found in the deceased's clothes. On a post mortem examination traces of mineral poison were found in the stomach and inter tints of deceased. The jury, under the advice of the Coroner, returned an open verdict, " That the deceased died from the ( ffeet of poison; but how, or in what manner administered, or whether taken by the deceased, or eceased, or otherwise, there was not sufficient evidence for them to say."
