To customers, in addition to the ordinary amount paid on deposit and current accounts, interest on their cash ha- Irslioes, equivalent to 50 per cent. of the profits. This is the plan on which the Uxrry Jons-T &oat MUTUAL !BANKING ASSOCIATION IS established. By it is created, for the first time, an identification of interest between the customers and shareholders of the bank, who thus become mutually con cerniid in the extension of its business. It will be the means of opening up new business, preserving a connection once formed, and productive of practical benefits to the public gene rally, CONDITION OF LONDON JOINT STOCK BANKS. Thie success of joint stock banks in London is readily ad mit Led, as well as proved by the statements periodically bunted by those great commercial institutions. In support of this, the following table is submitted, showing the condi in of each of the six metropolitan joint stock banks which b Ave published accounts, the original cost of the shares, their present market 'value, and the dividends payable thereon ; • • • " I " Ts . z U P 4 NAME OF BANK.

The amount thereof paid up is 2,817,0351. hir- The, amount of deposits, or customers' balances, is 2 9,376,41.01 e IV, T.he total number of shareholders is 4,097. V. The number of shares issued, 187,084. Thus is presented proof of known security, extent of busi tess, and general financial resources. These establishments hold half-yearly meetings, and lay before their connections full accounts of their progress and general operations. This course cannot fail in inspiring with confidence all who have gay dealings with them, while it gives to the public the Moans of forming an opinion as to their responsibility. INCREASED VALUE OF JOINT-STOCK BANK SHARES. It is proved to demonstration, that joint-stock banking, under proper supervision, affords a most legitimate and un usually profitable field for the investment of capital. The dividends paid by the banks above quoted vary from 6 to 25 Per cent., and the latest quotations of their shares show an increase of_ss to 225 per cent. on their paid-up capital, The real increase, however, in the value of the shares may be bet ter understood, by the fact that the paid-up capital of these Six banks is 2,817,0351., and that its present market value is 6 ,912,1161; It has thus increased two-and-a-half fold, so that every 1/, has now become 21. 10s., and there is every prospect of this amount continuing to increase in value.

THE NEW PRINCIPLE INTRODUCED BY THE UNITY BANK. Regarding the distinctive ;;inciple of the Unity Bank, it has been suggested that there must be a detraction from the Profits of the shareholders, by reason of 50 per cent. being given to the customers of the bank. This idea can only have arisen, however, from the want of a careful consideration of the whole subject. In the first place, it is necessary to re member from whom the profits of a bank are derived. They are not made from the share capital. The very first ingredi ent for the formation of profits is a customer. The amount of profit must, therefore, be governed by the amount of busi hess transacted ; and the larger the business. provided it be Properly conducted, the larger will be the profits. It must be borne in mind, also, that the real extent of the dividends must depend on the number of cents. of profits, and that 50 per cont. of the profits, extending over large transactions, may be far greater than 100 per cent, derived from more circum scribed business. If, then, the customers of a bank consti tute its Profits, the customers should be induced to transact their business with the bank, and thereby the profits of the shareholder, instead of being reduced, will be augmented. The inducement held out to the customer, however, should be Bach as does not involve or complicate the business of bank lug. It should not be by the promise of some peculiar accom modation, or some particular and if.creafled rate of interest, or by any departure from that sound system of joint-stock nankin which has stood the test of years of experience, and procured so great prosperity. But it should be, as it is in the Unity Bank, an advantage which interferes in no degree With established principles, but merely allocates a portion of that which has already been declared to be profit to those who have been the makers of it. Assurance companies have been accustomed to apportion certain of their profits, by way of bonus, to their assurers ; and so general has become the re cognition of the right of the assurer to this participation, that no assurance association would now be established without this essential to success. The justice of the principle consists in this--that as the assurers make the profits of the company, they ought to be participators in its prosperity. What is just in assurance will be found just also in banking. The customers of a bank make the profits of the bank, and they ought also to bo participators in its prosperity. It has been asserted, also, that the 50 per cent. of the pro fits proposed to be divided, while it would detract from the Profits of its shareholders, would be lint a trifling benefit to the customers. It might, in the first place, be replied that no benefit is considerid " trifling" by those who rightly esti mate pecuniary affairs ; that the benefit, if trifling, is in addi tion to all the other benefits usually derived by banking at a Joint-stock bank ; and that no correct data can be formed of the profits which will be made. On the other hand, it must be remembered that hitherto persons have taken their bank ing account where personal feeling, accommodation, or con venience of locality might lead them. Now, for the first time, 17. y the introduction of the principle of mutuality, self-interest Is appealed to. And when, to the large number of the public at ratted by this all-powerful stimulus, is added the number of the connections of the Unity Insurance Associations in all parts of the country, who have a peculiar identification with and interest in its success, it may fairly be stated, that ante cedent data are not sufficient to form an estimate of the ad vantages which both the shareholders and customers will derive front the Unity Bank. Great difficulty exists in estimating the effects likely to be produced by the establishment of this new and most desirable feature in banking. It is one that must become highly popu lar with every commercial interest, and with every class of the public, because its simplicity and advantages are at once to be seen and appreciated. To those great commercial bodies which are compelled to have large cash balances constantly at their bankers', it will prove to be a serious consideration, and a most important source'of profit. The railway, dock, gas, water, steam navi gation, insurance, and other companies, professional men, merchants, brokers, gentlemen of fortune, and traders of all kinds, .will duly estimate the difference •in the system now Proposed, from that heretofore existing. In fine, as joint stock banks became a public necessity, a s i s now proved, so will the principle of mutuality—whereby these admirable in stitutions may be rendered still more serviceable to the public, and in no way less safe_d e mand the best considerati on of the community at large. • BUSINESS TO BE UNDERTAKEN. All the usual business of banking will be undertaken ; and arrangements will be made for extending the transactions of the Bank in every desirable quarter. CURRENT Accousrs will be made up half-yearly, namely—to the 30th of June and the 31st of December, and interest will be allowed at the rate of 21. per cent. on them. DEposiT Accoms.—With respect to these, the rate of in terest allowed on money placed at seven days' notice will be 1/. per cent. under the rate of discount on first class bills adopted by the Bank of England, regulated thereby. The bank will give receipts for the sums so deposited, or, for the convenience of depositors leaving England, promissory notes, or bills, including interest as well as principal, at not less than six months' date. The bank will undertake the agency of country and foreign banks, whether joint stock or private, and will afford every accommodation to travellers and others with respect to circu lar notes and letters of credit. It will receive all kinds of incolne_ for its customers, including annuities, dividends, mili tary, naval, and civil officers' pay. It will undertake the sale and transfer of stock in the public funds, dm. ; and will be responsible for the safe custody of title deeds and other secn rities•belougiug to its customers, to which they will at all times have convenience of access.

T THE DIRECTORS OF THE UNITY JOINT-STOCK MUTUAL BANKING ASSOCUTION. Gentlemen,— I request that you will allot me shares of 1001; each in the above association, and in consideration of such allotment, or any less number you may appro?riate to me, I hereby undertake to pay the deposit, or first call of 101. per share thereon, and 401. at they= of incOrporation, ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. -- THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-charling variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and ext-aordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the - principat actor, some of them on the stage and others in fr on t ; it i s no t an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamoriinosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positiveihat he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fash'onable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to anapAnce_.Magic_ and MysLery- -for -eon tinnows-ropetition. Ho believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. _ _ The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the , dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious ronsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions ou spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exh , bited and elucidated. It is respectful* requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at fall length to his multitudinous correspondents. lie regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem oer2o, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchmau by birth, and now in Italy, is a. remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, ono of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the Incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, be considers it tl be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morninv Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel. in company with Lord Brougham, He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night--that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when ho and Lord Brougham bad their séance with tho spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by au invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through. out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers--that the greatest novelist of the ago is now engaged in making it the subject of a. new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual. ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre, —a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. ing, the programme being continually changed.

Naval and Military Intelligence, The following general erder has been issued to the Crimean army : . . " The Commander of the Forces has been much sur prised at the numerous applications for leave of absence which have lately reached him from officers of all ranks in the army. "He has to remind them that they are still in the Presence of a powerful enemy ; moreover, that they have duties to 'perforM in camp not less important than those in the field ; and that the instruction, discipline, and well-being of the troops are subjects which require the earnest attention of all good soldiers." MALTA, Nov. 7..---Tbe English steam-transport Jackal] arrived on the 29th of October, from London, with G o . vernment stores, and left for Balaklava, on the 31st. The Imperatrice, steam-transport, with hospital stores, arrived from London on the 30th, and left on the fol lowing day for Balaklava. • The - Le;ant,'steam transport, arrived from Lowestoft on the 30th of October, with railway pl an t ; and left f or Balaklava on the Ist of November. - The Amity, steam-transport, arrived on the Ist of No vember, from Woolwicb, with stores, and left for Bala klava on the 2d. The Azoff, steam-transport, Capt. Robert Thornhill, arrived from London on the 2d of November, with hut, last from Tunis havin - that port owilg_te_her c,ober, Turing a heavy gale of wind from the southward and eastward, at 5 a.m., when about 27 miles to the eastward of the Skerki rocks, struck thrice heavily against what was then conjectured to be, and now seems beyond a doubt to have been, a wreck, occasioning her damage in the compartment be tween the forecastle and the foremost one, when, in order to lighten the vessel by the head, in consequence of her great immersion from the water made in the damaged part, some of the stores were cast overboard. At the moment of the disaster much confusion was caused by a rush to lower the boats, notwithstanding the inutility of lowering them in such a sea, by a number of the Army Working Corps, of which, besides their officers, Messrs. Brown, Burn, Morris, Sherwood, and Warren, and Dr. Yolpy, she had as many as 318 men on board ; far too great a number for a vessel of this class. On their arri val at Tunis three men came off in a body, and made known their determination not to proceed further on the voyage in the Azoff, under the pretext that she was not seaworthy, and 163 of them persisted in this determina tion, notwithstanding the assurances of their own offi cers, those of the ship, and the consul. The commander had no other remedy than to coma.to an arrangement with the Maltese schooner Redschid to receive them on board for conveyance to Malta, - where, under charge of Mr. Superintendent Brown and two ether officers, this unruly set arrived 24 hours after the Azoff. The offi cers speak in the highest terms of Captain Thornhill's coolness, judgment, skill, and discretion under the try ing circumstances of the disaster and subsequent de meanour of these turbulent characters, and we under- stand he has officially made application to have the matter investigated by the Port Admiral, for the satis faction of the parties concerned and Government, in whose service the vessel is engaged. The following is the captain's official report to the secretary of Admiral Stopford : " Sir,--I have the honour to acquaint you, for the in formation of Admiral Stopford, that the steamship Azoff, under my commaud, struck on a wreck, or an unknown shoal, at 5 a.m. on the 27th of October, during a fresh gale from E.S.E. to S.E., with a high sea running. The engine was never stopped, and after striking thrice, without hanging for more than a minute, passed over the wreck or reef. The pumps were immediately sounded, e b o n m t p r . i. a o rt w al a e t t e l r t f w ro a m s fo th u e nd bo in w, th w e h s ic h h ip ;v e a x s c f e u p ll t o i f n w t a h t e e s r e . c N on o d t knowing the extent of the damage, I deemed it advisable to 'shape a course from the Bay of Tunis,- where we an chored at 11 pm. on the 27th of October. By good ob servations on Friday, 0ct.26, the ship's position at noon on that day was lat. 38.10 N., and long., by chronome ter, 8.48 E., which was further confirmed by Galita bearing by compass S.W. by W., distant about 12 leag. - at 2 p.m. Our. run from noon on the 26th to .the time we struck (viz., 5 a.m. on the 27th) was SE.

Greetham, Deputy Judge-Advc cate of the Fleet, assembled yesterday morning on board the flag-ship Victory, in Portsmouth-harbour, to try John West, locomotive engine driver, temporarily em ployed on board her Majesty's screw block-ship Hawke, 60, Capt Ommanney, for having gone on shore without leave on the 231 October last, from the ship, in the fit ting basin in Portsmouth-harbour, and not returning to the ship until the evening of the 27th, which breach of the regulations of the fleet and the ship was further aggra vated by his leave having been previously stopped by Capt. Ommanney, who prosecuted on this occasion for the Admiralty. The charge was substantiated against the prisoner, - who, in defence, admitted his cul pability. The Court adjudged him to be onlyseverely reprimanded, owing to the short time of his serving in the fleet (eight months), and to be mulcted in six weeks' wages. The same Court then proceeded to try George Stevens, a private in the Royal Marine corps, belonging to her Majesty's ship Hawke, but serving on board her gunboat tender the Biter, charged with deserting his post on deck when on sentry, going down into the cabin of the Lieutenant (Warren H. Henderson) in command, and breaking oßen the locker and stealing therefrcm two bottles " of spirits of wine," with which he got drunk. He was also charged with breaking and destroying some articles in the said lieutenant's cabin, and going to sleep on the said lieutenant's bed. The prisoner was further charged with stealing sundry effects, the property of the gunner of the Biter, and with intent to desert from the said vessel. The first charge was declared fully proved, as was the second with the exception of the intention to desert, and the prisoner was sentenced to receive 50 lashes on board s uc h one of her Majesty's ships as the Lords of the Admiralty may direct, and to forfeit all pay and allowances due to him.

TRIESEMAR.--Con the'29th of May, 1855, an Injunction was granted by the High Court of Chancery, and on the 11th June following was made perpetual, against Joseph ranklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of ono thou ‘and pounds, from imitating this Medicine, which is protected by Royal Letters Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole d Paarmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna. TRIESEMAR, No. I, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spertnatorrhosa, and Exhaustion of the system, whether arising from excesses, accident, or climate. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by he consequences of early errors it is invaluable. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs lave so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the great Continental Remedy for that - class of Disorders, which unfortunately the English physician•treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove. TRIESEMAIt, No. 1,2, and 3, are alike devoid of taste or sraell, tnd of all nauseating qualities. They may lie on the toilet tale without their use being suspected.

The fact was that in this country of Great Britain, with some exceptions which were far from numerous, they all belonged to the working classes. (Cheers.) From the Queen on the throne, who devoted some hours every day to concerns affecting the public welfare of her kingdom, down to the humblest labourer at from four or five shil lings a week, and including the ministers, statesmen, merchants, and gentlemen of landed estate who fulfilled their duty, they all belonged to the working classes, and shame to those who did not. (Cheers.) But amongst others, the warehousemen and clerks belonged to the working classes, and their object was consistent. They required not only industry but education and consider able faculties of miry!, and it was but fit that those among them who did not attain the same success as others should at least have the consolation of thinking that those who bad been their fellow-labourers would think of their crphan children after they were gone. The noble lord concluded by repeating the toast, which was re ceived with great cheering. The Rev. Dr. ARCHER gave the health of the chair man, amid loud and repeated cheers. Lord J. Russinf, said he was not going to make a political speech in return for the very warm manner in which his health had been received. He had no fault to find with people for differing with him in opinion, for of what use was our free constitution, if the people were not to form their opinions from their own views and their own judgment. He could only say, that in all the speeches he had made during the course of his long poli tical life, his only object had been the welfare of the country. (Hear.) He might have been mistaken, but he had always acted to the best of his judgment. (Cheers.) A collection was then made, which amounted on the whole to about 1,7001. Yesterday 118 men of the Medical Staff Corps, after being inspected by S. G. Bunbury, Staff Captain, pro ceeded to Gravesend to embark fur the Hospital, Scutari. An officer of the Land Transport Corps attended at the barracks at Nenagh on Saturday for the purpose of receiving such of the Kilkenny Fusiliers as might wish to exchange into that service. Sixty-seven have already volunteered into the Land Transport Corps, and it is thought many more will follow their example. = . • - LES: ANOTHER MIJRDER n last a respectable man, named Robert Clarke, who was employed as steward and gatekeeper at Ballinderry,.. within one mile of Moato, was proceeding to the latter eocflotsheeoPf i e t o M ple r ' : G w o a d es - Seciety, on Friday, th place, when he got into a dispute, and was attacked by moving a number of peasantry with stones.

Instead of lowering ministers in the face of Europe by taking this stand, we should, I believe, gain vastly in their estimation. It is not by ' yielding everything at the request of friends who may be mistaken respecting our character and our conduct that we shall secure respect from surrounding nations ; it is by shoeing them that we value the liberties which u• have bought with our blood, and that whether it be an open foe, or whether it be a neighbouring friend, we in tend to maintain those liberties inviolate. Gentlemen I feel it necessary to say before I sit down tha t the a nouncement of this m ee ti ng , at which I had alr eady Cnp il sented to take the chair, did not appear to me to be exact accordance with the obj ec t w h ich it was sought to accomplish—that object being to maintain 'intact the right of political exiles to all the freedom of a British subject. But, the announcement having been made, I felt that it would be cowardly in me, more especially as my sentiments are not in accordance with those of the war party, to withdraw from the post which bad been kindly offered to me. After conversing, however, with those who convened the meeting, I find that, whatever may be their opinions respecting the war, they believed, equally with myself, that the object for which we aro met is so important, so sacred, and fraught with such consequences to numbers who now enjoy the right 'of asylum in this country, and whose enjoyment of itseerae to be threatened by the intended policy of the Ministers —they, I say, equally with myself, believe that that ob ject should stand out clearly, distinctly, and separate from all others—and therefore it is upon that subject alone that the suffrages of this large meeting will be taken. (Hear, hear.) I need not, gentlemen, enforce upon you the vast importance of conducting the proceed ings of the meeting to its close with perfect order.

Surely such proceedings as that which you are meeting to protest against ought to open the eyes of at least that part of the public which is supportin g the war from a sympathy with liberalism abroad, as to the gross delusion that has been practised on their credulity by those who have told them that in the hands of our present Government the war in which we are engaged is a struggle for liberty.

COBDEN." Mr. WILKS also read letters from Mr. C. Gilpin, Mr. G. Thompson, Mr. P. A. Taylor, and Mr. G. Holyoake, each expressing sympathy with the Jersey refugees. He then moved the following resolutions : " That this meeting utters its indignant protest against the recent expulsion of refugees from Jersey; and affirms that foreigners landing in the dominion of the British Crown become at once entitled to the natural and legal rights of Engli-lenam, public examination and trial by jury before exposure to any penal consequences. " That this meeting pledges itself and calls upon the country to resist, by all lawful means, the apprehended attempt to carry through Parliament an act invalidating or restricting the right of sanctuary." After some gereral remarks of an historical character, he observed that if they wished to know who was the author of the recent expulsion, they must consider whom it was most likely to benefit, and no one could doubt that this was Louis Napoleon. (Hear.) If, again, they applied Shakspere's test that men hated those whom they had injured, that teat pointed in the same direction! • Tt they were asked whom had the refugees wronged it might be answered that they bad written no sentence for which any minister dare bring them into an English court. They wrote a chapter of history; that was all, Louis Napoleon was, however, the enemy of history. Ever since the second: Bartholomew he bad been angry with history, and he called for expulsion because men simply stated the events of a given day in a given year. The speaker was then proceeding to express his regret that the refugee question had not been combined with the war question ; but, being met with unmistakeable symptoms that any remarks in opposition to the war with Russia would be decidedly unpalatable to the ma jority of the meeting, he abstained from attempting to enlarge on that topic. Mr. ERNEST JONES seconded the resolution. He ob served that the meeting stood upon the common ground of opposition to any infringement of the rights of refu gee,:. It was eomposed of members of the peace party and members of the war party. He himself belonged to the latter, and though he did not entirely approve of the manner in which the war bad been conducted, he was for letting the war itself go on. (Cheers.) The course of events connected with the recent expulsion was very re markable. A letter having been written by three indi viduals, the Attorney-General of Jersey, on being con sulted, gave it as his opinion that its publication was not illegal, and that its authors could not be successfully prosecuted in the Jersey court , . It was then attempted to apply Lynch law to the refugees, and when this at tempt failed in consequence of their gallant defence, and when they had written a letter protesting against the infringement of their liberty, they were expelled by the British Government. Why were they expelled 1 They had not fitted out a ship with arms, and landed at Bou logne, to make war against an ally of England. (Hear.) Neither had they been closetted with an enemy of Eng land, like Prince Adelbert of Prussia, who was now fight ing at the head of a Russian regiment in the Crimea, after having been received within the precincts of Bal moral. An experiment was now being tried in the case of refugees, and if they allowed the passing of an alien bill against fi , reigmrs ere long a gagging bill would be passed against themselves. (Hear, hear.) He rejoiced in the French alliance, but in order that it might be per inanen', it must be an alliance with the peopleof France. When the French peof le wen.: free s they would be ere and w E nglishmen heth e h r a t d h e a N c h t e a d d (Hear, hear.) Whil e , on the one hand, they did not go to war with Louis eo xf howles trial,. givenlg towards t f ' t r y h e )l m a y ll wo u ldtno thei inquire Frenchql i n o i r u e r Napoleon, on the other they should not go to war on their own history and their own honour.

The resolution was then put and carried, there being only one dissentient ; and The CHAIRMAN having declared this to be the termi nation of the proceedings, the meeting, after giving a vote of thanks to the hon. gentleman himself, dispersed. The whole of the proceedings occupied less than two hours. ~,r MILITIA. The Edinburgh County Militia, now styled " the Queen's Regiment," was, on Wednesday last, paraded at Dalkeith for volunteering, when upwards of 90 men fell out, upwards of 80 of whom have passed and been attested for the Scots Greys, the 25th Foot, and the 72d Highlanders. This regiment has already contributed 275 volunteers to the line, and yet presents a very respectable appearance. Abort 60 recruits have been received within the la , t fortnight. The deputation of the inhabitants of Dalkeith who went to London to complain of the regiment being billetted on the town have received the promise of the War-office that they will be removed forthwith to Edinburgh Castle. The 2d Royal Lanark Militia was inspected a few days ago by Major-General Lord Melville, who expressed himself highly satisfied with the state in which he found the regiment. In the evening the officers gave a grand ball, at which were present—the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, the Duke of Athol, Lord Melville, &c. On Friday the second volunteering took place, when about 150 men stepped out of the ranks, and 92 were enlisted, making upwards of 180 given since July, of whom more than three-fourths are for the 92d and 72d. This regi ment bas now enlisted more than 1,030 men. h buts au_Lanark-moor cannot be ready in consequence of the lateness of the season. A detach. ment is expected to go to Airdrie. WAREHOUSEMEN AND CLERKS' SCHOOLS -ANNUAL DINNER. The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this valuable charity took place yesterday evening at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Lord John Russell, and was most numerously attended. The great additional number of guests required a complete re-adjustment of the arrangements of the banquet hall, but happily every one was ultimately comfortably seated, and in conse quence of the excellent organisation of the establish ment, every one was also abundantly served and satis• fled. The recent uncourteous reception of the noble cl.a:rman at the Guildhall seemed to be in every one's mind, and a determination was evinced at an early pe riod of the evening to show his lordship, that whatever might be the hostility which his political conduct had engendered in the breasts of the citizens generally, it was by no means shared' by the warehousemen and clerks, who only recognised in their president a man of high station and influence aiming forward to aid by his presence the cause of this infant but valuable and pro mising charity. The noble lord was cheered tremen dously on entering the room, and subsequently at various periods of the evening, when the order of the proceed• ings brought him more prominently before the meeting. Among-A the heads of the warehousing trade who sup• ported his lordship at the head table were Messrs. Geo. Moore, Wm. Leaf, J. P. Foster, NVatford, Greatorex, George Laurance, W. J. Powell, W. Bradbury, &c. Upwards of two hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner. A musical party under the direction of Mr. Ransford, and comprising the talents of Misses Ransford and Eyler, Messrs. Genge and W. E. Ransford, were in at tendance, and performed a selection of popular music in the course of the evening. L .rd J. Russell appeared to be in the best health and spirits, and addressed himself to the business of the evening with commendable care and earnestness. The first toast was " The Queen ;" of whom the Chairman said, that many years' experience of her Ma jesty's public and private virtues only served to increase the affectionate-attachment of the British people towards their Sovereign. (Loud cheers.) The next toast was " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the royal family." Of the Prince of Wales the Chairman observed that he had reached his fourteenth year, and was now approaching a period of his life when the nation would appreciate the excel lent education he had received. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Lord J. Russell trusted that in future times his Royal Highness would become an honour to his country, and to those who had had the charge of his education, (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN again rose to give "The Army and Navy." He said he was then about to give a toast which bad often been drunk in time of peace with a prophetic anticipation of the services which the army and navy would be ready to perform whenever war should arise. (Clear.) He had now to give it with the assurance that all that could have been expected of our gallant army and navy had been gal'antly performed. (Cheers.). They must all be proud of that army which, being only as numerous as the country could fit out at the first out break of the war, had still at Alma performed the most daring feats, and had carried these positions in three hours which it was expected would have resisted for three weeks. (Cheers.) They would also remember that, when that army had been reduced by disease and priva tion of every kind—by cold, and want of food, and clothing—they fought the world-famous battle of Inker man, and against six times their number gloriously sus tained the honour of the British flag. (Cheers.) But, however much they might admire the daring of those who fought their battles, he begged to observe that the innate courage and power of discipline that enabled men, day after day, and night after night, to sustain the hard ships of the trenches without the inspiring chance of en count-,ring the enemy face to face, but still in momentary danger of his rifles and artillery, was equally worthy of their admiration. (Cheers.) However great might have been the courage of those who battled in the field, the soldiers of the trenches had also set an example which he hoped might be worthily emulated in future times. (Hear.) They had recently had to rejoice in the fall of Sebastopol, the object of all these battles and perils. That stronghold which had been supposed to be impreg nable was n ow the prize o f the a lli e d armies, and they had further to rejoice that while the British troops bore the brunt at the battles at Alma and Tinker. man, their allies, the French and Sardinians, had won the battl e of the Tchernaya, and finally taken Sebastopol. He trusted that the union consummated by the as=ault on Sebastopol, might be only the presage of a long and enduring alliance between the two countries. (Cheers.) He might, he hoped, be permitted, as one who had long known him, to lament that the gallant spirit of Raglan had tied before the final triumph had arrived, for he was sure that all the wise measures his departed friend had taken, all the firmness he had displayed, merited the reward of participating in the final victory. But the examples furnished by men like him would not be lost ; they would be preserved to future generations, and would show in what school England brought up her soldiers, and what pupils the great Duke of Wellington had trained. (Cheers.) With regard to the navy, their gallantry was too well known to require any eulogium from him. It must be a disappointment to them that they bad not had an opportunity of meeting the enemy's fleets in hostile array ; bxt still, in every operation in which they had been engaged, in the Sea of Azoff, and at Kinbourn, they had displayed all their characteristic gallantry. and if ever the enemy should encounter them, they would no doubt give as good an account of the struggle as they had in former times. (Cheers.) With these few words he would propose " The Army and Navy ;" but he could not sit down without alluding to the conduct of our brave allies the Turks at Silistria, and more recently at Kars—where they had shown that, with good officers, they were fit to rank with the first soldiers in the world. (Hear, hear.) Major WOOD, as an officer of forty years' standing, returned thanks for the army. Seeing so many ladies in the gallery reminded him of the invaluable services which a lady, Miss Nightingale, had rendered to our sick and wounded soldiers in the East. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN in rising to propose the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Warehousemen and Cierks Schools," said that it would not be necessary to waste many words in advancing the cause of charity and be nevolence, which was what had brought them together on that evening. He begged leave in a few words to call their attention to the rapid growth of the institution. It appeared that in December, 1853, the first suggestion was made of p rov idi ng f or th e orphans and necessitous children of warehousemen and clerks, and in less than six weeks 3,000/. was raised by the young men them selves for the purpose of founding the institution. (" Hear," and cheers.) A short time after, the princi pals, finding that it had been taken up with so much spirit, came forward, and in gifts of 501. or 1001. sub scribed the large total of 4,0001. (Hear, hear.) It ap peared furthe r th a t a ft er a short time the subscriptions had so much augmented, that after one of their public dinners no less a sum than 10,0001. was funded, an annual income of 1,0001. ascertained, and a balance left at the bankers' of 8301. Fifteen children had already been admitted and six more were about to be elected, making 21 in all, who would be provided for through the exertions of the association. In addition to that, ground bad been obtained, and they would shortly have a building of their own for their permanent establish ment. Having stated these facts, he would only say that an institution which had been so auspiciously begun, and which had increased so rapidly, and comprehending so large a class as the warehousemen and clerks of the wholesale dealers of this country, could not long remain without experiencing a very great extensi c o bb n ee . eris i f : ei e l.vi a ne ri hear.) He expected that in a few years the schools would be largely augmented, and that those who through their industry and talent had become fortunate in the world would not forget to contribute something towards the support of the orphan children of those w ial c c i had not been so fortunate as themselves — thus save their comrades that pang which ( was the bitterest in life, that of fearing that t chLre g n health would oblige them to leave d w e e s r t e i tuetneg engaged d the n world, He business n ll es se of appealedilfe those a t n h t d o eir wen ld who l them that there was not had helped g to con solatory reflection than that they. ; maintain institutions like the present by their assistance a more life , and or y and charity, (Rear.) They were pre 7 erninectly the THE RIGHTS OF REFUGEES. A public meeting, very numerously attended, was held yesterday evening in St. Martin's Hall, in reference to the above subject and the apprehended Alien Bill ; Mr. E. Miall, M.P., in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting included another topic, namely, "the present war policy," hut as will be seen from the chairman's speech before the commencement of the pro ceedings, it was determined not to introduce that sub ject, and it was evident from the tone of the meeting that had any peace views been put forward, they would have been met with strong opposition. The CisainstaN said—Gentlemen, a very few words on my part will suffice to put before you the occasion and the objects of the present meeting. You are well aware that in a neighbouring island, under the dominion of the crown of Great Britain, a certain publication was lately issued, containing an address to the Queen, respecting which I feel bound personally to say that neither with the matter nor with the style of that address do I at all sympathise. (Cheers.) The inhabitants of Jersey seemed to have felt it due to their own charact:-r to convene a public meeting and disclaim all participation in the sen timents contained in that address. So far I could heartily go with them. But, not c mtent with disclaiming their participation in the sentiments which the document contained, they called for the suppression of the paper in which it appeared, and for the expulsion of the pro prietors of that paper from the island. You are like wise aware that a protest, drawn up by Victor Hugo, and signed by thirty-six of his compatriots, was pub lished in some of the London j urnals against this arbitrary mode of dealing with the liberty of speech supposed to belong to political refugees in this country. It is not necessary for me—nor is it necessary fur this meeting—to discuss the propriety of that docu ment, or of any of the statements which it may contain ; but this meeting has been convened for the pnrpose of defending from all encroachment the right of sanctuary which Great Britain has maintained from ancient times. (Cheers.) The subscribers to the document I have men tioned have been forcibly deported from the island of Jersey. Twenty-two of them, I believe, have taken up their abode in Guernsey, and the rest have come to England. This expulsion, if we are rightly informed, has taken place through a demand made upon the Lieu tenant-Governor of Jersey by our own Government at home, and—unless report and rumour sadly belie the occasion—at the instigation of a neighbouring potentate. (Mingled cheers and hisses.) If this were simply an iso lated act, the consequences of which would end with the occasion, it would still be worthy of calling forth the indigettet protest of the people of England. (dear.) But we are lad to bel.eve—especially by correspondents cf the daily journals who reside in foreign capitals—that this act foreshadows an intended policy—(hear)—that there is to be a pressure laid upon our own Government by f Teign courts, and a pressure brought to bear by that Government upon the houses of Parliament for the re enactment of an alien bill for this country. (A. Voice— "We wont have it.") What may be the intended pr visions of that measure—if, indeed, it be contemplated by the Government—it is of course impossible for us to do more than conjecture; but of this we may be certain, that the object of it will be to restrict the liberty which is now enjoyed by political refugees in this country, and to give them less freedom than is possessed by every British subject. Now, the simple object of this meeting is to protest at once, and indignantly, against both the past and the future—(cheers)—against the expulsion of the refugees front Jersey without charge, without proof, without trial—(hear, hear) —and also against the enact ment of, or any attempt to enact, an alien bill for politi cal exiles. We not on'y object to that which has been done, but we shall, I trust, enter to-night our emphatic protest against that which is inteededto bedone. (Hear.) We claim on behalf of political exiles in this country the right of asylum, and we claim it on the simple ground that they are political exiles ; their misfortunes suffice to • secure cur sympathy, and ought to suffice to obtain our protection. (Hear, hear.) We asls nothing about the politics which they profess ; we want not to know what may be the political party in their own country to which they were attached. We would make no distinction what ever between prince and plebeian— (cheers) we would give the riolit of sanctuary to all who touch these shores. (Hear.) Hitherto we have been impartial enough in the distribution of our favours. We have sheltered, under the name of Louis Napoleon, the roan who now occupies the imperial throne of France—(cheers and hisses)— rid we have opened our aroma to a fugitive monarch under the name of John Smith. (Hear, and 1 tughter.) We have had here, under the protection of our laws, and enjoying British liberty—doing according to their own pleasure, so long as they only kept themselves within the limits prescribed by the law of the land—we have had Orleanists and fusionists, royalists and republicans, and our national hospitality has given a welcome to them alt. We have cherished him whom the Times has recently called, quite in opposition to its ordinary tone in reference to that individual, " the illustrious Magyar, Kossuth"— (cheers) —and we have also given the shelter which he sought to Mazziiii. (Cheers.) We have not thought it necessary to inquire whether these men's political views were in ac cordance with our own ; it has sufficed for us that they were, from political can-es, exiles from their own country; their misfortunes were a sufficient passport to our protec tion. This is what we claim for the Jersey refugees. (Cheers.) This is what we claim for exiles in all coming times ; and we will not abate one jot of our national hospitality at the bidding of any. (Much cheering.) And we claim this right of sanctuary without any diminution. (Hear, hear.) We would that those who come to our shores shall be welcome to the full enjoyment of British liberty, and not merely that they shall come here to be secured in a gaol. We must have no registration of foreigners who have fled from their country from politi cal causes. We must have no surveillance of the police. (Cheers.) We will not put the freedom of these people in the hands of any Minister of the Crown ; we wish them to be partakers-of our own privileges ;we assert for them that whatever a British subject may do in con tormity with British law, that also shall they be able to do who appeal to us for our national hospitality ; and, gentlemen, we claim and extend this hospitality to exiles at any and every cost. (Hear, hear.) We have so long maintained and cherished the right of sanctuary in this c wintry—it has been so uniform and so constant a practice, whether of our sovereigns or of the people, to give a secure asylum to those who have fled for refuge to this country on account of political offences, that it has become, as it were, part and parcel of our own con stitutios. We have hold of this right as the proudest boast of Britons in the face of the nations of Europe — ' - we have stood by it even when it has been assailed,_son some times times by the whispers of calumny, and sometimesby2ll creatures of foreign courts—and I hope this meeting .l23 7 ,y l , unite as one man and protest that, coui! n w t w" constitu they will not allow this feature of our ancient shall tion to be touched, but that which has conti nue to be. (Cheers.) I feel confident be, as it professes to be, represented_ in thatParliament,bee it e nation Par liament will scorn the motion of a cßurrittaisilh:ltriystreers,pdeicdt he dare to make one, to abridge ort Gentlemen, I be the right of asylum in this which are dear to have that this is one of thoseting'''. whatever may be his pe the heart of every culiar position. I believeEnglishman,t the alacrity with which the people of England undrtook the war with Russia sprang the high a dmiration with which they , in a great degree from —an had beheld the firmness with which Turkey maintai ne d h er right to shield the exile—(hear, and cheer s ) d stoo d forth, braving - ; t h e wrath of despotic courts b y whom she cor ance with th e was surrounded, determhainth that sheaccordanced never would b e t ray those prin ciples of h e r religion, who had cast themselves on her protection. And are we to occupy a lower position in the scale of nations than our ? (Cries of No, ns ) ally Turkey t may be said, and it is said virtually, that this is , one of the sacrifices that we must make in order that the war with Russia may be carried on with vigour. Gentlemen, I deny that any such sacrifice is uecessary—(hear)—and I contend that if it were necessary, the object for which the sacrifice would be made could not comport with the liberties and the civilisation of Europe. (Hear, and marks of disapproba tion.) We may be told that the request has been made by foreign courts to an English Minister that the right of asylum may be abridged in this country, because when enjoyed to the full extent it is a practical inconve nience to certain governments. Well, but I remember Lord J. Russell's saying of Lord Palmerston that be was the Mi n i ster, not of Austria, not of Russia, no t of France, but of Great Britair: (Hear.) From whoelso- I ever the proposal might have come, Ido think that it would have become the Prime Minister of this country .~a
