THIRD. EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THis EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack st are o'clock. THE LATE WAR IN CHINA. The LORD CHANCELLOR read letters from Major- General Mitchell and Admiral Hope, acknowledging the thanks of their i ordships for the services rendered by the arm y and navy n the north of China. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Duke of Sutherland's Estate Bill was read a second time. The Great Western Railway, Simpson's Hospital Estate, and Cockermouth, Keswick, and Penrith Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. ASSIMILATION OF CRIMINAL TO CIVIL PROCEDURE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr. Ben jamin Blondell, praying that accused persons in criminal charges might be admitted as witnesses on their own be half. The noble lord at some length showed the peculiar state of the law as it at present existed on the subject. EAST INDIA ,(HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE) BILL. Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to unite the chief courts of judicature in Calcutta, Madras, and Bom bay into one court, with power to deal with all the subjects coming under the consideration of the old tribunals. The effect of amalgamation would be to improve the administration of justice in India, and the scheme had received the approbation of the most eminent men in India, and amongst them Sir Edward Ryan and Sir T. Halliday. By the bill then under consideration the Supreme Court and the Suddar Court would be abolished, and instead thereof a new court to be called the Nigh Court of Judicature would be established as the old Supreme Court Ihad been, namely, by Royal Charter, and the qualification of the judges would remain the same as at present, namely, that they should have been barristers of five years' standing. Lord:BROUGHAM said the bill was a most impor tant one, and therefore claimed their most serious consi deration. The sixth clause gave the power to the Indian Government to interfere with the salaries of the judges, and he thought such a proposition was most objectionable. It was an entirely novel propo sition, and one which he most strongly objected to. Earl DE GREY said the clause did not affect the exist ing judges ; it only applied to those who might here after be appointed. He would however take care that the objections of the noble and learned lord were well considered. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought the bill had better be referred to a select committee, as at present he thought it was a most objectionable one. [LEFT SPEAKING.] --- HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAT.) The SPEAKER was in attendance at 12 o'clock, but a house was not formed until afterwards. SUPPLY. The house went into supp ly , co mmitteeof The following votes were agreed to : _E_O,O9 to com plete a sum of £125,0 28 for the Treasury chest, £ 5,000 for the Zambesi expedition, £5,000 to complete a sum of £7,000 for the Niger expedition, £2,000 for the exploration of the North-Western province of Australia, £21,400 to complete the sum of £50,000 for the support of captured ne r e the vote for consuls at inland towns in Europe, Mr. DODSON thought that the consuls at Leipsic, Frankfort, Ghent, and Seville ought to be abolished, and with regard to the consul at Paris that they should adopt the same course which they pursued at Madrid, by ap pointing a Secretary to the Legation. He thought also that as the consulate at Milan was a mere sinecure, i t should be done away with. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was intended to abolish the consulate at Ghent. It was intended to give the consulate at Paris at the end of the term of the present consulate to the librarian of the embassy, who would continue attached to the embassy. He reminded the house that generally speaking they could not receive complete or satisfactory accounts, with regard to the affairs of the continent, with out the assistance of diplomatic agents, and that being the case the services rendered by consuls and vice-consuls be came of the greatest importance. The consul at Moscow supplied the Government with valuable intelligence in re spect to central Russia, and the same remark applied to the consul ar Warsaw. The consul at Milan was not intended to be made a permanent officer, but considering the changes that had recently taken place in Italy it was not expedient that the office should be done away with at present. As regarded Seville, the consulate there was not considered by Governmen;necessary, and would accordingly be abo lished on the first opportunity that presented itself. With regard to Turkey, hon. members should reeollect that all the Powers in Europe had consuls in that country, who exercised political functions. He might here observe that the less the consuls interfered in the political affairs of that country the more desirable it would be. He would remark generally that the retrenchment in regard to consulates might prove the very worst economy. Mr. WHITE considered that the explanation of the noble lord was not satisfactory. The establishment of these consulates was a reflection on the efficiency of the diplo matic corps which had furnished some of the most valuable 'reports. He advocated the reduction of consulates, and pointed to Germany as offering a field for that purpose, as well as for retrenchment in the ambassadorial service. Lord H. VANI said that he agreed with the last speaker as to the efficiency of the diplomatic corps ; but it should be remembered that they derived a great deal of their in formation from the consuls. (Hear, hear.) He would not approve of increase in salaries or of these establishments, but in the present state of Europe he did not think the time had arrived for reduction in this depaitment of the public service. Mr. W. FOSTEIt thought it would be roost unadvisable in the existing statoof Germany, both in regard to political and trade considerations, to reduce the consular corps in that part of Europe. Every other Power in Europe had consuls there, and if this country were deprived of the assis tance of such a valuable agency it would be placed in a dis advantageous position as compared with other countries. • Mr. FREELAND was in favour of the reduction in the consulates, and complained of the inefficiency displayed in that department. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that the suggestions of the committee for the reduction in the department should be carried out, but at the same time he would assure the house that very little, if any, saving to the public expenditure would be effected by reducing the consular department, which was most inadequately reimbursed. Mr. A. SMITH said they ought to look with consider able jealousy on new appointments, and he referred to the consul recently appointed with a salary of £5OO a-year at Reunion, where the value of the British imports last year amounted to only £75. He concluded by moving that the vote should be reduced by £2,300, the salaries of certain consuls whose services he thought unnecessary. After some further discussion, Lord J. RUSSELL entered into an explanation to show that the appointment of a consul at Reunion was desirable in a political point of view. Some remarks had been made with respect to some of the consuls being allowed to trade and others prohibited doing so; the reason was very simple. It would increase the estimates by a very large amount if salaries were paid sufficiently adequate to all the consuls, and, therefore, when the amount of trade was small, only a smaller salary was paid, but when the trade was large then was the corresponding salary in order to remunerate him properly, and in these cases ho was not allowed to trade. Mr. A. &mini ultimately withdrew the amendment, and the vote was agreed to. On the vote of £616,646 for services in China and Japan, Col. SYKES explained that the salary of the Plenipo tentiary at Pekin was too large. Lord J. RUSSELL said the salaries were very much regulated by the size of the places. He was happy to say that the accounts he had received from Pekin showed that the English Plenipotentiaries were well received, The vote was agreed to. The next vote proposed was £30,000 for the extraordi• — 7exPenses of arnba:sadors at foreign courts. 4.:Lottarra I . f it ew u words from Mr. WILLu ms, often derived SSELL said that important information was that thereforefrtloa m consuls in minor States in Germany, and The vote wasea),' ought to be maintained.

THE AFFRAY IN NORTHUMBERLAND STREET, STRAND. DEATH OF MR. ROBERTS. Mr. Roberts died in Charing-cross Hospital this evening at twenty minutes past six o'clock. AMERICA. The arrival of the Bremen puts us in possession of intelligence from New York to the 6th. THE CIVIL WAR. There had been a considerable advance of Fede ral troops into Virginia. A despatch from Wash ington, dated the sth, says : Last night the Third United States Infantry, eight hundred strong, passed over the Long Bridge into Virginia, and will form a portion of the ad vance column. Three other regiments also marched about midnight. The Garibaldi Guard and three other regiments also marched about midnight. The German Blenker Rifles will take up their line of march to-day from this side, and will also form a portion of the advance column. Five thousand men are to be moved to the Vir ginia side of the river to-night. The corps d'armee under Gen. M'Dowell is to consist of 40,000 men, divided into four divisions of 10,000 men each—the first under Gen. Tyler, the second ui.der Col. Heintzelman, and the third under Col. Hunter. The fourth is to form a re• serve. Each division will be composed of two bri gades of four regiments, and cavalry and artillery sufficient to constitute the complement of 10,000 men. • It is stated positively that Col. Blenker's regi ment of German Rifles will form the advance of skirmishers. It is under orders to proceed to the other side of the river on Sunday afternoon next. The general movement is to occur early in the coming week, but the precise time will, of course, be made to correspond with the movements of the divisions of Generals M'Clellan and Patterson. The Union troops have advanced to within three miles of Fairfax Court House. I n telligence reached h ere thi s even i ng f rom G en. P a tterson , s column, that the Union forces were but seven miles from the rebels; and that General Pat terson, at last accounts, was preparing to advance his column in the direction of the rebel army, which was supposed to be about 12,000 strong, under com mand of Gen. Johnston. This movement of Gen. Patterson is said to be in accordance with Gen. Scott's instructions. General INl‘Clellan, from the north-west, is also advancing, and will soon be upon the rebels with a large force. General Cadwallader has also instructions to put his forces in motion, and unless the rebels beat a hasty retreat there will be sharp work. Colonel Stone has reached the Point of Rocks with his command, some 4,000 men, and will be able to co-operate with the other advancing divi sions. Mr. Grow's assertion in his speech on taking the chair, that the rebellion should be crushed at all hazards, and at whatever cost, produced the most enthusiastic applause on the floor of the house and in the galleries. At the celebration of the 4th of July in Washing ton twenty-two New York regiments defiled before the President. Mr. Lincoln, instead of making a speech, introduced General Scott, and General Scott, instead of making a speech, bowed to the assembled troops. Speeches were then made by Mr. Seward, Mr. Bates, and other politicians. At the conclusion the President hoisted a new flag, which seemed to give great satisfaction to those who were assembled. BY TELEGRAPH VIA FATHER POINT. MONTREAL, 6 p.m. The steamship Great Eastern, with troops from Liverpool, passed Riviere du Loup at nine this morning, and is expected to reach Quebec this even ing. The steamer Nova Scotian arrived at Father Point on the 4th. The elections in Montreal and Toronto have ter minated in favour of the Ministry. The weather is intensely warm, The New York ,Herald of the 6th observes that the President's message and the news brought by this mail will create much sensation in Europe. The monotony (it says) which for some weeks past has characterised the condition of the vast Union army concentrated on the Potamac—broken as it has been only by an occasional skirmish—is now changed to an active advance movement upon the rebel lines in all directions, which must com pel the enemy either to make a disastrous retreat, or risk a general engagement, and the result of which can hardly be doubted. The general advance in the direction of Richmond has commenced along the entire line and the northern side, while General Butler's forces in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe were gradually closing up in the other direction. It is not thought that General John ston will venture the chances of a collision with General Patterson's superior force, partially sur rounded as he is by the army of General M'Clellan, but will fall back to Winchester and Manassas Junction, en route for Richmond, and hence no battle may take place in that direction. It may be also that the Union troops advancing from Alexandria and Arlington Heights towards Fairfax and Manas sas may find the rebels retreating before them, so that until the army of the Government reaches the vicinity of Richmond—the rebel capital—the fight ing may possibly be confined to outpost skirmishes and the dislodgment of masked batteries. How ever, now that the advance of this immense army has fairly commenced, no lengthened period can elapse before a general, and it is to be hoped deci sive, engagement occurs. The Government has now in the field a force of 300,000 men, of whom 210,000 are sworn to serve three years. The President, in his Message, asks the sanction of Congress to raise it to 400,000, and as there is very little doubt that out of the 190,000 required to fill the requisite complement fully 60,000 of the men engaged for three months' ser vice will volunteer into other regiments, it is quite probable that the requirel number of 400,000 will be provided within a few weeks. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury anti cipates that it will be necessary to provide for rais ing 320,000,000 dols., and suggests that 80,000,000 dols. of this sum should be raised by direct taxa tion, and the remaining 240,000,000 dols. by loans. The New York Times says:— The expected movement of General Patterson's column of the grand army across the Potomac took place on Tuesday morning, and was followed by a battle with General Johnston's rebel forces, 10,000 strong, near Martinsburgh, which resulted in the defeat of the rebels and their precipitate retreat with considerable loss, while our loss was but three killed and wounded, according to a brief official despatch from General Patterson to the War Department, announcing his victory. Scout ing parties were sent over on Monday night, and brisk firing was heard all night between the scouts and the rebel pickets. The advance of the main body took place before daylight, the post of honour being assigned to Capt. IVl'Mullin's Inde pendent Rangers, and the Ist Wisconsin and 11th Pennsylvania Regiments. The advancing column was met by the enemy in force at Por terfield's Farm, on the turnpike-road near Haines vine, where the conflict was fierce for a time; but the rebels were finally compelled to give way, and their r e t reat soon became precipitate.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief his much satisfaction in communicating to the Secretary of State for War his approbation of the manner in which the movements of those corps of volunteers which were reviewed by him on Wimbledon-common on Saturday the 13th inst. were performed ; and in remarking that the several corps concerned had evidently during the past year made great progress in their drill, and attained considerable military efliciency.—By order. (Signed) J. YORKE SCAULETT. A deputation has waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, inviting him to become a candidate for the City 'of London, in event of Lord John Russell being called to the Upper House. A contemporary has reason to believe, however, that " Mr. Gladstone declined the proposal, and that he will deCline a similar offer from South Lancashire, preferring to continue to hold his seat Oxford:' for the University • • 2 THE - SUN, - LONDON,' THURSDAY . EVENING, JULY IS, 18614 LONDON SCOTTISH VOLUNTEERS. The members of this corps last evening enter tained General Lord Clyde, G.C.8., their honorary colonel, at a regimental dinner in St. James's-hall. The chair was taken by Lieut... Col. Lord Elcho, M.P. and among those who occupied the seats at the head table were General Lord Clyde, the Mar quis of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Abercorn, Sir R. Murchison, Lord Truro, Lord Valletort, M.P , Hon. Col. Erskine, Lord Radstock, the Master of Lovat, the Marquis of Tullibardine, Lord Saltoun, the Hon. H. Fraser, Sir A. Comyn, Col. M'Murdo, Colonel Lindsay, the Hon. G. Waldegrave, the Macleod of Macleod , Sir J. Shelley, Sir J. Kirk land,ondMajor 'Major Wilkinson,Anson cAbout Major 250 sat down to Hughes, Capt. Ross, dinner. A guard of honour, furnished by the corps, re ceived the most distinguished arrivals with military honours, and the guests were afterwards marshalled to their seats in Highland fashion, the piper, a favourable specimen of his class, heading the pro cession, and at intervals during the feast he reap peared and circled the board, to the manifest grati fication of the company, although his strains sounded somewhat uncouth to southern ears. Lord Clyde, in common with the majority of those present, wore the " hodden gray " of the London Scottish, but this prevailing shade was relieved at intervals not only by the glowing scarlet of the regular service, but by the varying uniforms of many North British regiments which were creditably represented in the Wimbledon rifle contest. After the usual loyal toasts had been given and acknowledged with the usual cordiality, The CHAIRMAN gave the combined toast of " the Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." Of the two former services he spoke in terms of the highest eulogium, but of the latter, he said that in presence of Colonel M'Murdo, the able and popular head of the Volunteer force, he felt like a boy under the eye of his preceptor. (Laughter and cheers.) The Hon. Colonel ERNSKINE having briefly ac knowledged the compliment paid to his own branch of the service, Colonel M‘MuDRo responded on behalf of the Volunteers. He said be had if anything under stated on all occasions the amount of the Volunteer force. Jt would, therefore, be satisfactory to gen tlemen to know that at the present moment the number actually under arms was nearer to 170,000 than 150,000, the number shown by the official re turns in August last. It was no small satisfaction to him as a Scotchman (cheers) to find that Scot land, in proportion to its population, had given the largest contribution to the national force, and that whereas Englishmen had volunteered at the rate of one in 46 of the population capable of bearing arms, Scotland had contributed at the rate of one in 26. (Hear, hear.) He had seen with pride the calm and determined advance of the London Scottish at Wimbledon, and, with a view of calling out the latent fire which he detected in their ranks, he had ordered the band to play the particular air, which in its effects showed him that the same spirit existed in their corps that enabled his noble and gallant friend to oppose " the thin red line " at Balaklava to the onset of the Russian cavalry. :(Enthusiastic cheering, the whole company simultaneously rising from their seats.) The chairman had referred to the spirit of obedience characteristic of Scotch soldiers. In the Crimea some soldiers of the 42d Regiment, who were in a pet with their colonel for not allowing them to receive the money, which was more advantageously sent home to their families, complained of " that dour fellow Cameron," al though at the same time they would cheerfully have died for him. He trusted that, whatever temporary discontent the London Scottish might at any time feel with their officers, they would be willing, as he had no doubt would be the case, to go anywhere and do anything under the leadership of that " dour fellow" Elcho. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Houses of Parliament," coupling with the toast the names of the Marquis of Breadalbane and Lord Valle tort, M.P. The next toast was " The Health of General Lord Clyde," in proposing which the CHAIRMAN said that it would be superfluous in him to descant upon services extending over a period of half a century. Some days since he had called upon Lord Clyde, and found him suffering under a fever,wkich he attributed to recent services in India, but to his surprise he was informed that he was " an old friend which had stuck to him since the Walcheren campaign." The career which had begun in dis aster, in 1809, had since been carried on with dis tinction in all parts of the world—in Spain, in America, in Demerara, in the Crimea, in China, twice in India, and had culminated at the relief of Lucknow and in the pacification of our empire in India. (Cheers.) Lord Clyde, as he had often heard him say, was essentially a soldier of fortune, and owed his high position, not to interest or ad ventitious circumstances, but to his own right arm and to his pluck, energy, and perseverance. In the position to which he had raised himself—so justly a matter of pride to Scotchmen—he had chosen for his motto " Be mindful," and for his supporters two British soldiers, which had been in strumental in raising him to his present pitch of fame. The gallant General had been chosen to save our Indian empire when it was trembling in the balance, and did any one doubt that if danger should threaten nearer home—which might God grant would never happen—Lord Clyde would again be sent for ? (Loud cheers.) It was often matter of reproach to the Scotch, equally with the Irish, that they claimed every distinguished man as belon g ing to their country; for instance, that they heldSangkolinsin to be no other than Sam Collins, that Garibaldi was but a transposition of Baldy Garrow—(laughter)— and that Schamyl was merely another pronuncia tion of Campbell. (Renewed laughter.) Whatever differences of opinion might exist on'these points, no one could deny to Scotchmen the right to claim, and to be proud of, Colin Campbell, the Commander in-Chief in India—(cheers) ; and as a proof of the enthusiasm which his name excited might be men tioned the circumstance of some Scottish fishermen off the Western Hebrides, in the neighbourhood of St. Kilda, who were overheard singing something which, on inquiry, proved to be a Gallic epic in honour of Lord Clyde. The toast was drunk with much enthusiasm, and with the manifestation of respect peculiarly known as " Highland honours." Lord CLYDE said he felt quite overpowered, by the kindness which the company had shown to their humb'e countryman, a simple soldier, whose great gratification, it had been on returning to this coun try to witness the spontaneous and loyal effort in which the people of Great Britain, and particularly the natives of Scotland, had united for the defence of the country. Accustomed as he was to witness the proficiency attained by soldiers practised daily under trained instructors, he had been surprised to find the progress made by Volunteers who could only spare leisure moments from their ordinary avocations. In conversation with the Duke of Cambridge two or three days since, he had learned with satisfaction the efficiency displayed by the different corps at Wimbledon, and he at tached especial importance to their great self-pos session and habit of obedience, as well as to the ab sence of noise with which their movements were executed. He knew by long experience that these were points which were only arrived at by long and close attention to drill, and he therefore honoured the more highly the application, and he I would add the devotion, which the Volunteers had exhibited. He had been young himself and he knew how valuable young men thought the time which they gave up to drill ; but of this they might be sure, that they would not in consequence be placed at any disadvantage in the regards of their sweethearts. (Laughter and cheers.) Next to love of country, love of corps was the most powerful im pulse. He had known wonderful results to follow from that feeling; he had taken advantage of it, and he had known it to elicit acts of indomitable cour rage, which to appreciate properly it would be necessary to have seen. On one occasion he had given strict orders that not a man, from the colonel to the drum-boy, was to fall out of the ranks, assuring them that the wounded would he cared for by others, and, though their dearest comrades and their most valued officers fell besido them, his orders were o b eye d ; t h e reg i ment never f e ll i nto confusion, but rema i ne d th r3ug h ou t th e d a y in a Y.

" The H ea l th by drinking to Lord Clyde concluded of the Volunteer Force , L especially the ondon Scot tish and their gallant and valu ed commander, Lord Elcho." Lord ELcrro, who was received on rising to re turn thanks with the warmest manifestations, said it was but natural that some deficiencies should be exhibited by those who were called on to place themselves in command of corps having never passed through the preliminary grades. He was sensible of his own faults, and puld do his best to correct theta &ring the recess. (Cheers.) He thanked the members of the corps warmly for the zeal, attention, and obedience which they had shown, and stated that those qualities had already begun to bear most gratifying fruits. A year ago his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge gave volunteers some valuable advice about the neces sity of attending steadily to drill. They had done so in the interim, and were now in a position to devote increased attention to rifle shooting. Being in the second line at Wimbledon, he had been un able to see how the corps acquitted itself, but he had heard on all hands the highest praise of their performances, and he was certain that the courage and discipline which had enabled them to face the gorse bushes without shrinking—(laughter)— would hereafter teach them to surmount even greater difficulties. (Cheers.) " Captain. Page and the Staff of the London Scottish," with a variety of other toasts followed, and the proceedings were prolonged until an ad vanced hour. The band of the Grenadier Guards, under Mr. D. Godfrey, performed a pleasing and appropriate selection of music. LONDON AND WESTMINBTER BANK. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yes. terday at the Bank, in Lothbury—Alderman Salomons, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business by observing that he had great pleasure in meeting the proprietors, in order to lay before them what the directors considered a very satisfactory state of affairs. At present he would simply call upon the secretary to read the advertisement calling the meeting and the report. _ Mr. FARELAND (the secretary) having read the former, also read the following report : " The directors have to report that, after making pro• vision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart £2,000 towards the building of the bank, the net profits of the last half-year amounted to £131,591 16s. 4d. This sum, added to £10,941 Bs. 5d., remaining from the profits of the preceding half-year, will amount to £142,533 4s. 9d. From this sum, in terest on the surplus fund at the rate of five per cent. per annum (£5,253 2s. 6d.) has been added to such fund, which now amounts to £215,378 2s. 6d. The directors now declare a dividend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and by way of further divi dend out of the profits, a bonus of 7 per cent. on the paid up capital. After these payments are made there will re main £37,280 2s. 3d., and the directors recommend that £20,000 be added to the rest or surplus fund, and the re maining £17,280 2s. 3d. carried to the profit and loss account for the current half-year. The vacancies in the direction occasioned by the deaths of the late Mr, Henry Bosanquet and Mr. William Haigh have been filled up by the nomi nation of Mr. Alex. Gillespie and Mr. C. Freeman, subject to confirmation at the next annual meeting of proprietors. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK, JUNE 30, 1861. DR.

The Indomitable sailing transport sailed from Spithead with the remaining portion of the 2d bat talion of the 11th Regiment, yesterday, for the Cape of Hope. The Roebuck, 6, screw, Commander Marten re cently returned from China, will pay off her crew and be put out of commission at Portsmouth to-day. The Princes Philippe and Auguste of Saxe-Co burg yesterday visited the various points of interest in the dockyard at Portsmouth. The Pylades, 21, screw steam corvette, Capt.

A renewed trial was made yesterday at Ports mouth dockyard of Mr. White's diving cylinder and air pipos. The trial was more satisfactory than even on the last occasion, a brief report of which appeared in The Sun. The usefulness of Mr. White's invention for cleaning the bottoms of ships when no means of docking are available seems to be now placed beyond a doubt. Her Majesty's ship Chesapeake sailed from Hong Kong for England on the 22d May. Vice-Admiral Sir J. Hope, K.C.8., had hoisted his flag in the Imperieuse, and Rear-Admiral Jones in the Chesapeake. Capt. George 0. Willes bad been appointed to the Imperieuse, and Capt. Rochfort Maguire to the Chesapeake. Commander Robert Gibson had been appointed to the Imperieuse, and Lieut. J. B. Butler had been made Acting Commander of the Chesapeake. The third dock at Chatham, now occupied by the fine 51-gun frigate Arethusa, which is being con verted from a sailing ship to a screw steamer, is ordered to be prepared for the reception of the mail clad iron steamer Defence, now building at Glas gow, which is to be forwarded to Chatham to be fitted and made ready for sea. In order to complete the Arethusa with the utmost despatch, and have her ready to be undocked by the date ordered—the 9th of August—a large number of additional hands have been placed on the work, the number of men now employed being 300, including 60 caulkers. A number of extra hands will be added this morning. During the period the Arethusa has been in dock she has been twice cut asunder to be lengthened, and an addition of 58 feet 8 inches made to her length amidships, and 14 feet aft. She has also been considerably strengthened to adapt her for a screw steamer. When completed she will be one of the finest of the converted 51-gun screws. The Arethusa is to be supplied with a pair of 500 horse power (nominal) engines by Messrs. Penn and Son, and the first portion of the machinery is now being fixed on board. This frigate, as well as the Bom bay, 80, is to have the bottom covered with Muntz's patent metal, in lieu of copper, the Admiralty hav ing decided on giving that invention a fair trial. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—John Lee, chief engineer, to the Indus for the Leopard; Herbert W. Hart, act ing second-class assistant-engineer, to the Asia for the Wallace; James Radford, acting second-class assistant-engineer, to the Cumberland for the Wild fire; and Samuel Lloyd, acting second-class assist ant-engineer, to the Fisgard as supernumerary. THE ARMY. The National Military Rifle contest at Aldershott was resumed yesterday morning shortly after nine o'clock. The weather was fine, but the wind blew very strongly, and interfered in it serious manner with the shooting. A large number of spectators visited the ground during the day, and the Lieut.- Gen. commanding at the camp, Sir J. L. Penne father, 1i.C.8., rode on the ground during the con test for the Challenge Prize Cup. The proceedings appeared to excite much interest, both among officers and men. The arrangements are excellent. Captain M'Crea, Inspector of Musketry at the camp, superintends everything in connexion with the contest in a most business-like manner. The Marksman's Prize was first contested. It was for non-commissioned officers and men, qualified as marksmen during the present annual course. The ranges were at 700 and 800 yards, there being five rounds to each distance, and 10 prizes were given at each distance, amounting to a total of £55, and a silver watch to the best shot throughout. 250 men entered. The highest ccmpetitor at the range of 700 yards was Private Small, of the Ist battalion of the 10th Regiment. The highest competitor at thts range of 800 yards was Private Harry, Ist battalion 10th Regiment. The silver watch was awarded to Private Small, who made seven points at 700 yardit and three at 800. The Veteran Stakes were open to non-commissioned officers and men of 15 years' ser vice. Five rounds were allowed in this case at 400, and five at 500 yards. At the former range the highest distinction was obtained by Colour- Sergeant Wagstaff (45th), who made eight points. At the latter range the winner was Sergeant Mowatt(7Bth) who madesix points. The silver watch was secured by Colour-Sergeant Wagstaff, who scored eight at 400 yards and four at 500. The Challenge Prize Cup, value £2O, presented by the South Western Railway Company, was next contested. It was for officers and men, 10s. entrance, 700 and 800 yards, five rounds at each ; 51 men entered, but 49 only shot. The best shot took the cup and half the en trance money, the next three-fifths of the remain ing entrance money, and the third the other two• fifths. This was the great prize of the day. Ensign Poole, of the Ist battalion of the 10th Regi ment, carried away the cup by marking nine points at both ranges. These points consisted of four out siders and a centre at 700 yards, and one out sider and a centre at 800 yards. The successful competitors were Ensign Poole, 10th Regiment, 9 ; Capt. Meares, 2d battalion 20th, 8 ; Capt. Harvey, 2d battalion 25th, 8. Sergt. Walker, of the Scots Fusileer Guards, also made eight points, and he, with Capt. Meares and Capt. Harvey, shot off ties, the result being that Capt. Meares made 2, Capt. Harvey 1, and Sergt. Walker, 0. Orders have been forwarded to Col. H. D. Har ness, C.B , director of the Royal Engineer establish ment at Chatham, directing 50 men of the Indian Engineers, who have completed their course of fieldwork instruction and sapping and mining, to embark at Gravesend for Bombay and Cannanore, in the chartered troopship Windsor Castle, 1,250 tons, belonging to the Messrs. Green, of Blackwell. The following circular has been promulgated from the War Department by order of Lord Herbert : "The Secretary of State for War, having had under consideration the subject of assessing damages to arms re turned into store by regiments abroad, has decided that in future whenever any arms are so returned, a board shall assemble and carefully examine all the arms with a viesy to assess the damages iu accordance with the scale of prices laid down in the Queen's regulations. The sums to be levied against the regiment should only be for work which ought to have been executed upon the arms by the armour er-sergeant of the regiment, and not such sums as may be required to make the arms fit for re-issue for service. The board shall consist of the senior military store officer (as sisted by the civil armourer where there is one), the inspec tor of warlike stores, and the instructor of musketry of the regiment or corps. "J. CRAWFORD CAFFIN." A division of the depot brigade of Royal Artillery to be stationed at Warley Barracks, near Brent. wood, arrived there on Tuesday. No. 3 battery of the depot brigade of Royal Ar tillery left Southtown Arsenal, Great Yarmouth, on Monday for Sheerness, whence the men are to be embarked for India. The battery, about 190 strong, is under the command of Captain Dirom. THE FATAL AFFRAY ON LOCH FYNE.—The boatswain and marine of her Majesty's ship Jackal, who caused the death of the fisherman on Loch Fyne, were tried on Monday at the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh. The Solicitor-General relinquished the charge of wilful murder, but insisted on that of culpable homicide. In reply to the crown argument that, to prevent illegal fishing, the prisoners had no right to resort to means which civil officels would not have boon justified in using when at tempting to apprehend men guilty of a far greater crime, Mr. Young, as counsel for the prisoners, pointed out that, being m en - of-war's-m en , they were fully justified in follow-• ing the rules of their own service, which direct that when a summoned boat will not surrender, first blank and then ball cartridg e s h all be fired over her, and that in this case, without any h om i c i dal intentions on th e part of the firers, the ball ca r t r id ge most unfortunately took effect. Th e jury unanimously d acquitted the prisoners. PROFIT AND LOSS. Da.

Indeed, he might say that the details they had heard spoke for themselves. They had had a very successful half-year. The deposits—the great source of prosperty—had increased considerably, and this augmentation was mainly as to de posits at interest. The deposits in the aggregate had been increased by a considerable portion of the business of the Commercial Bank having come to their own bank. The total amount of these, with circular notes, and so forth, as they had heard, amounted to upwards of £14,800,000. This was nearly three millions in excess of what was shown at this time last year, and some £200,000 or £300,000 more than when they met in January last. (Applause.) They would also be gratified to learn that the losses were below the average—he might say considerably so. Their net profits of the past half-year were upwards of £131,000, and they had besides a balance of profit and loss account of more than £lO,OOO. All this enabled them to declare a dividend which, with the bonus, would be at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. And they further recommended £20,000 to be added to the rest, or reserve fund, a course which he felt sure they would all approve of—(applause)-- . and £17,000 carried forward as the balance of the profit and loss account for the current half-year. He might say, fur. ther, that all this had been accomplished without any effort on the part of the directors. Their desire always had been, and always would be, not to force business in any way, but simply to employ the large amounts with which they were entrusted in the best possible securities. (Hear, hear.) They showed an increase in the last half-year of something like half a million ; and their cash in hand, Government secu • rities, &c., represented some 31 million sterling. (Hear.) The chief incident of the half-year, on which they would expect some information, was the transfer of the business of the Commercial Bank to themselves. When their aid was solicited in the well -known emergency it was promptly given—(hear)—and the result was that the commercial world and the public at large were saved that alarm which always prevailed when a great commercial establishment was in difficulty. Indeed, such alarm as there was might be said to have been entirely got rid of. (Hear, hear.) They came for aid when needed, it was rendered, and the customers were not under one moment's apprehension. (Hear, hear.) He thought they might really fairly take some credit to themselves for the promptitude and decision with which they met the solicitation, and the success which had accompanied it. (Applause.) And he would further say for themselves—and it was something to say— that they should not have interfered but that they found the bank in such a state that they believed they could safely take it. (Hear, hear.) It might have required great diffidence on their part whether they could do as they had done without compromising somewhat the interests of the establishment. But they found they could do what they had done safely, and they had done it successfully, and in future years he had no doubt they would reap still further advantages in a still greater increase of business. They had met all demands with the utmost liberality, and in all trans actions with the board they had acted with the utmost consideration. They had, for instance, taken a great many of the staff of the Commercial Bank. They had overlooked some of the rules with reference to the clerks who had been so introduced in reference to age, &c., but they thought they were doing that which would be likely to improve their condition, and tend to the increase of the business, which it would be their interest to promote. They had thus been en abled to do something material for those who by this un looked for misfortune might have been thrown on the wide world. (Applause.) He trusted, therefore, that they had acted with every consideration that could reasonably be ex pected, and yet with all the prudence the proprietors had a right to expect at their hands. (Applause.) A large por tion of the business which they had thought it desirable to obtain had come to them already; and he had no doubt that in future they would find they had gained a considerable ex tension of business. As to the present half-year, however good it seemed, it did not show any profit, notwithstanding, derived from the transfer of the business of the Commercial Bank to themselves. Their position was just this 7 they were ready to receive any business that might come to them, but they were not desirous to increase it by the misfortunes and distresses of their neighbours. (Loud applause.) They were interested in common with all in seeing the great com mercial and trading world of this country, and of the City of London in particular, prosperous and well-doing. Expe rience had shown them that as the nation prospered and commerce increased they got their full and fair share of business. Still, of course, they did not object to receiving more, although they were not avaricious —(hear) —nor, as he had said before, ware they desirous of profiting by the distresses of other establishments, either private or joint stock banks. (Hear, hear.) He would now turn to another part of the report, and he would speak with deep regret of the circumstances to which that part alluded. He meant the loss by death of two excellent directors —two most use ful and honourable men, who had been removed from them during the last half-year—Mr. Bosanquet and Mr. Haigh. Mr. Bosanquet, although of the legal profession, and not having been brought up to the banking business, was yet one of the earliest directors. He had joined the establish ment even before it had been, as it might be said, "licked into shape"—that was to say, before it had assumed a stage presentable to the public. He was, indeed, a most useful and honourable man, and had been of great service to the board. Mr. Haigh had come to them some time after the i bank had been formed, and bad been many years with them. He could say of him too, as he had said of Mr. Bosanquet, he was a most zealous, active, and useful man ; and he (the chairman) most deeply regretted the loss of two colleagues with whom for so many years he had been associated. (Hear.) The vacancies, as they would see, had been filled up by two gentlemen who he trusted hereafter would be found most useful directors of the establishment. One was a gentleman retired from business, but of the firm of Gil lespie, Moffatt, and Co. ; a gentleman of 'a great deal of experience, and who would bring to the bank that matured wisdom and experience ever desirable in great establish ments like theirs. (Rear, hear.) The other was a gentle- 1 man largely engaged in the China and East India trades, who had large trar sections in business, and who was a man of business and of honour, and who had that great 1 knowledge of credit that would render him a very useful addition to those op that tide of the table (the dlfZetors). These gentlemen would come before the annual meeting for confirmation. Having repeated his congratßle t ticlP 1 precisely as above on the satisfactory state of the bank and its business, the chairman spoke of the losses which had accrued to the commercial world froM the reckless system of credit which had been adopted in times past, and ad verted to the pleasure with which he and they all must look upon the present state of commercial morality of the kingdom, which was apparent, and could not be spoken of in too high terms. If they had been astonished at what he might call the erratic conduct of parties in the reckiess use of credit, and notwithstanding any effects even as to American matters, it might now, he believed, be truly said that the credit of this country was as sound and as good as at any period of its commercial history. (Loud applause.) The chairman concluded by saying that he should be happy to answer any questions any proprietor might think proper to put to him, and to afford him all the satisfaction in his power. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Mr. ROBINSON proceeded to make some remarks upon the sympathy which had been shown to the Commer cial Bank, but he thought it lost much of its value from no proposition having emanated from their own bank as to more substantial consideration. (Several cries of "Oh, oh," and " No, no," followed, and some slight confusion was the re sult.) Two or three other proprietors essayed to address the meeting, but they were most imperfectly heard ; and amidst the good-humoured excitement, The CHAIRMAN, addressing Mr. Robinson, said, " What do you wish ?" Mr. ROBINSON said he understood the chairman that their own bank derived no benefit from the business of the Commercial Bank during the last half-year. But he (Mr. Robinson) wanted to know whether—when they did—they intended to bestow anything on the shareholders of that bank for the value of such business ? The CHAIRMAN said he would answer somewhat after the manner of courts of justice—he would at once say "No," and give his reasons after. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) What he said he would repeat. It was a voluntary act on the part of the Commercial Bank, in the interests of their shareholders and their customers, to obtain assistance. They obtained it, and the matter was embodied in a legal instrument, which was the only document existing between themselves (the London and Westminster Bank) and that bank as their guide as to the transfer of the business. The Commercial Bank had no power to perform an actual trans fer of their business. Their customers were not like serfs in Russia. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The bank sought help, but it was entirely with the customers of that bank as to the transfer of their business to the London and West minster Bank, or any other. (Hear.) Some of them came here, some of them went elsewhere, just as their interests or their feelings led them. Some came here whose busi ness the directors declined. In short, they took what they thought best. (Hear, hear.) He was told that the gentleman who put the question just now had only one share in this bank—(laughter)—but was a large holder in the Commercial Bank. (More laughter.) Now, he did not for one moment question that gentleman's right to do as he pleased—certainly not as to putting the question he had done. But he must remind him of what the shareholders had saved by obtaining the aid they sought instead of their property being thrust into the market. (Hear, hear.) He would explain what had been done. On the 18th of Feb ruary this transfer took place ; and for three months the London and Westminster Bank took no interest whatever— which they ought to have done—(hear, hear)—for they had authority to do so. Until the 18th of May, then, they gave up any charge of interest at all. (Hear, hear.) Besides this, they took 18 clerks suitable for the business of the London and Westminster Bank from the staff of the Commercial Bank. They looked for talent combined with seniority in doing so, although they paid great respect to seniority. They had been desirous of doing all they could to show sympathy with those who, from no fault of their own, might have been precipitated on the wide world. (Applause.) All the officers were paid handsomely. A sum of £9,000 had been distributed in various amounts amongst the staff; and this, added to the absence of the interest of which he had spoken, had prevented them from gaining any profit for the first half-•year. After a few further observations, which merely echoed what the chairman had previously stated, The Rev. Mr. ROBINSON was proceeding to speak on the subject again ; but after a short pause, occupied in good-humoured objections, as good •humouredly taken, Mr. WHEELER said he very much approved of the course the directors had adopted, especially as regarded the £9,000 distributed amongst the employes of the Commercial Bank. Indeed, he thought they had aeted admirably throughout (Hear, hear.) But, with all respect to them, he must say he did not see the propriety of adding so much more to the reserve fund, especially considering that some years ago it was deemed that £150,000 would be ample for that fund. (Hear, -hear.) He thought, instead, that the proprietors had fair claim to something like £2 per share more. He believed the business of the Commercial Bank alone would produce this bank not less than £15,000 a year. He thought, therefore, it would be wise to begin at once and give the proprietors a further division of the profits. If he thought that not one of the directors would be on his side in the view he took of the reserve fund, he should go home much mortified. (Laughter.) A SHAREHOLDER said, if he recollected rightly, the re serve fund was agreed to be increased to £200,000. The CHAIRMAN said, to £250,000. After a few words from two or three other shareholders on thie head, and Mr. DONALDSON having said that he did not look upon the reserve fund as a guarantee fund, but as a fund for equalising dividends, Mr. HADOW said he thought the directors had acted judiciously in gradually accumulating a reserve fund amounting now to nearly a quarter of a million of money. But, he thought if the bank continued anything like as pros perously as it had done, and the reserve fund increased to £250,000, it might be distributed amongst the proprietors as an increase of capital. (No, no.) After a few words from Mr. ROLLS in favour of the report being adopted, The CHAIRMAN spoke strongly in support of the reserve fund, and reminded the proprietors that not long ago ano ther bank had lost no less than £250,000. Large figures these I He could not but think the directors had done wisely in doing as they had done in increasing the reserve fund. (Hear, hear.) The only question was, how far would they carry it? It was a. subject which had not escaped the attention of the board. He hoped, so far as the present report was concerned, it would not be objected to. (Hear, hear.) Having taken a brief review of the progress of the bank and of the dividends it had paid, the chairman said he hoped the prep:letors would not inter fere with what the directors believed were the prudent and conservative views they had taken, and that they would not be found fault with fur not paying more dividend than they had done. (Hear, hear,.) He thought the increase of the reserve fund might stand over for future consideration. All he could say was, that the directors were anxious to pay as good dividends as were consistent with the math tenance of the credit of the bank. (Hear, hear.) He would move the adoption of the report. This was duly seconded and unanimously carried. The following resolution was then put :—" That the thanks of the meeting be presented to Mr. William E wings, the general manager, to the managers and secretary, and to the ether officers of the bank, for their past services; and that the special thanks of this meeting be also given to the general manager and the managers for their exertions in connection with the transfer of the business of the Com mercial Bank." Mr. WHEELER seconded the resolution, which was algio unanimously carried. which terminated to the th eh e a p i r rm oc a e n edi a n n g d s. othe rs were also carried, VoteBf o PIICENICIAN ANTIQUITIES. During the past three months considerable progress has been made in ex ploring the ruins of the ancient cities of Phoenicia. In January, 1861, Dr. Gaillardot commenced at Saida, and M. Earnest Renan at Sour, and the operaticns at these places are now complete, with the exception of the excava tion of the great neoropolis at the former place. Remains of the Crusaders were found at both places, but none above ground of the Phoeni c i ans . Gigantic blocks of granite, marking the limits of the ancient port of Sidon, still re main ; also on the plain to the east of the site of the old city a subterranean Sidon has been discovered. Here in 1855 the scarcophagus of Eschmanuzar, in the cavern of Apollo, was found. This is the only great inscribed Phoenician sarco phagus hitherto discovered. Portions of another have been found in ;the same place by M. Ronan. Also in the rock caves of Sidon, some cf which are anterior to the time of Alexander, sarcophagi of various forms, some of terracotta, ornamented with garlands, have been discovered. Other remains of different epochs have been examined, and pot , tions have been brought to Paris. Some of the sculptures, &c., resemble those of Egypt; others those of Nineveh and Persepolis. Among other objects found in the caverns and brought home are many articles of dress and common use, Phoenician coins, and a leaden sarcophagus of good workmanship, [AiwztaisEmENT.]—The following are some out of many thousand extraordinary cures without medicine effected by Du Barry's delicious Health Restoring Reva lenta Arabica Food ; —Cure No. 41,617.—Winchester, December 3, 1847.—Gentlemen,—I am happy to be able to inform you that the person for whom your Revalenta was procured has derived very great benefit from its use ; die • tressing symptoms of dropsy, dyspepsia, and constipation of long standing have been removed, and a feeling of re stored health induced, James Shorland, late surgeon, 96th Regiment.--Cure No, 52,422.—Mr. James Roberts, timber merchant, Bxicigehouse, Frimley, Surrey, 33 years' dis eased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, deafness, singing inthe ears, constipation, debility, sh or t ness o f b rea th and cough, have been removed by your Revalenta Arabica.
