EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860. "The success of the Company, e •en in ite earliest years, received the marked attenion, and elicited the surprised Comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. " Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851. "Life Premiums for 1860 EXCFED the Entire Life Pre miums for the EIGHT Y P ARS ending. 1852. "Purcha , e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEnS the similar receipt < for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering that it applies to each of the three branches of the business."

" The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dar ing the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously brought it to a position of the first magnitude among the Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire Premiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £228,314 78. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of £2g2,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in two years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en h nced by the enormous sum of 266,829 17s. sd. " The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to Government for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of the business in a more prominent way, as it affords the means of comparison with other Companies. The Proprietors will be gratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other Company, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad vance of this Comp my. Our increase actually equals 30 Der cent. of the entire increase of the whole of he Metropolitan Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up wards of 30 per cent. of the total advanceof the other 2i offices established out of London. LIFE BRANCH. "The Reports of the Company for several years have had invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its Life Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year show ing an advance over the one that had immediately preceded it. A similar result Is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097 17s, led., which is an increase on that item of £1,99317a. sd. above the amount received for the year 1859. "But even this advance is small when compared with the sudden and remarkable momentum which has been given to this Branch of the Business in the present year (1861). "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact th t the Royal Insurance Company had published late in the last year an account of the investigation into th.A.e.t.. and Linhilitie of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in as plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the subject admitted, together with the entire statements and valuations necessary for that purpose. " It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam phlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared in the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the attention of vast numbers of Persons In all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as in other parts of the 'World. Indeed a most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case is afforded by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies in the six months to the 3d June of the present year is ac tually 50 per cent. in excess of the sum assured in the corres ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount in itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period of time "If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business, be at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the head of all the Insurance Companies doing business in this Country, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the effect that the details of the Life Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the 'Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation."

VALETTA, AUG. 18.—T Corvette Racoon, 22 guns, Capt. :William C. e,!lainberlain, arrived on the 11th inst., 13 days from Gibraltar, and on the following day the Rene 91, Capt. Arthur Forbes, came in from BeyrOv 1, v * .iell place she left on the sth inst. At that dat: .sere were there the squadron under the comman,: of Rear-Admiral George Rodney Mundy, C. 8., consisting of the Hannibal, 91 (flagship), the Algiems, 91, the Aga memnon, 91, the (Mon, 91, the Mars, 80, the Mel pomene, 51, the Amphion, 36, the Lapwing, 4, and the Mohawk, 4 ; the French squadron, consisting of five line-of-battle ships and one or two smaller vessels ; two Russian frigates, the Grand Admiral, 74 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Shestakoff), and the Oeleg, 74 ; also a Turkish liner, a frigate, and a corvette. The different men-of-war were drawn up in two lines, the English and Turks form ing one, and the French and Russians the other. The Renown leaves to-day or to-morrow with in valids, for England. Her Majesty's gunboat Re cruit, 6, Commander D. Spain, arrived on the 13th from the Danube, having been relieved on that station by the Weser, 6. The Recruit is homeward bound, to he paid off. On tie 13th the Russian steam-frigate Gromoboi, 50, Capt. Fedarowski, ar rived from Beyrout. This vessel, like the Ilia Maurometz and Sokol, I.)f the same nation, which called in here a few days ago, had been -ordered home, and was in _fact, on, her way to Cronstadt. :Ninth to the surprise of every one on board, however, the Russian Consul at this island received a telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg, ordering her immediate return to the,coast of Syria. The reason for this sudden and quite uaexpected counter-order appears to be un known. Her Majesty's ship Crusar, 90, Capt. Thos. H. Mason, left Malta on the morning of the 14th inst. for Beyrout, calling at Suda Bay (Candia), to give stores and provisions to the Gannet, 11, Com mander Edward H. G. Lambert. The same even ing her Majesty's ship Neptune, 90, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, and Liffey, 51, Capt. G. W. Preedy, C. 8., left port under steam, and sailed for Castellamare. These vessels were followed on the 17th by the Victor Emmanuel, 91, Capt. Wm. J. C. Clifford, C.B. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Wm. Fanshawe Martin, K.C.8., on board the Marlborough, 131, follows on the 19th, accompanied, I understand, by the Terrible, 21, paddle, Capt. Fred. H. H. Glasse, C.B. Her Majesty's corvette Scourge, 6, paddle, Commander W. G. Jones, C. 8., arrived on the 15th inst. from Gibraltar five and Algiers three days, having on board Lieut.-Gen. Sir Wm. Codrington, K.C.8., Governor of Gibraltar and staff. The Scourge resumed her voyage to Constantinople yes terday. The Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. Hobart, with a mail for Corfu; the Racoon, 22, Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, for Smyrna; and the Scylla, 21, Capt. Rowley Lambert, for Sicily, left port the same day. The French Government steam yacht, La Reine Hortense, Capt. Count Morave, has just entered port from Marseilles, having on board the Count and Countess of Montebello, who, it is said, are on their way to Constantinople." The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty ar rived at Sheerness from Chatham on Thursday, for the purpose of inspecting the eockyard and the ships in the harbour. Their lordships were conveyed from Chatham in the Black Eagle, paddlewheel steam yacht, Master J. E. Petley, R.N., carrying the Admiralty flag. On Wednesday evening a tele gram had been received from their lordships re questing the steam of the Goliah, 80, screw steamship, 400 horse power, of the second division of the steam reserve, to be got up, which was completed by 12 a.m. on Thursday, and on Thursday morning orders were given to get up the steam of the Rod ney, 86, screw steamship, 500-horse power, second division, which was completed by two o'clock. Both of the vessels were minutely inspected, as well as the Meanee, 80, screw steamship, 400-horse power, the Phaeton, 51, screw steam frigate, 400- horse power, the Malacca, 17, steam-sloop, 200-horse power, and also the site for the new battery which is about to be built off Sheerness for the protection of the entrance to the river Medway. Their lord ships expressed themselves much pletsed with their inspection. In the evening they we7e entertained at dinner by the Commander-in -Chief, Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone. After dinner, their lord ships adjourned to the Black Eagle for the night. They resumed their inspection at 10 a.m., by paying a visit to the dockyard, and carefrlly inspecting the works in progress, and the varicus alterations which have been made in the yard since their last visit, as well as the various workshops and fitting basin. At one o'clock they partook of lunch with Captain-Superintendent Charles Vise, Aide-de- Camp to the Queen, from whose resilence they pro ceeded to inspect the flagship Fornidable. They subsequently embarked in the Vivid and the Black Eagle for Dover. The Shannon, 51, screw, in the lint-class reserve at Portsmouth, officially tested her rochinery yes terday outside the harbour, under tae superinten dence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia, and the reserve at the port. The Pandora, 5, screw, tried under tke superinten dence of the same officer the previous day, realised a speed of 8.794 knots, the mean of six runs, at a draught of water of—forward, 9 f e et 7 inches ; aft, 11 feet 7 inches. On one of her forma trials, draw ing 11 feet 2 inches aft and 7 feet 10 itches forward, she realised 10500 knots. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, has )een placed in No. 8 Dock, at Portsmouth, the Me/ea, 6, paddle, having been previously taken from the saute dock and placed in the steam basin. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Antelope, Lieut.-Commander Allingham, yesterdty sailed from Woolwich for Greenhithe, to be adjtsted for the West Coast of Africa, as previously sttted. She is under orders to call in at Portsmouth. The War Department vessel Lord 'Vivian yester day commenced shipping melting cupo,as and other war stores for the Isle of Guernsey. The following appointments were male yesterday at the Admiralty :—Henry Harkam, surg., to the Pantaloon; Benjamin Ninnis, acting assist.•surg., to the Pantaloon ; William Roche (a), assist.-surg., to the Impregnable, for Plymouth Hospital; Arthur Hughes, assist-paymaster, to the Pem broke; John G. Card, clerk, to the Centurion ; Au gustus A. Lyne, clerk, to the Pantaloon ; William E. Boxer, assist.-clerk, to the Revenge ; George Deveson, assist.-clerk, to the Conqueror ; Lewis G. Hodder, assist.-clerk, to the Donegal ; John W. Seccombe, assist.-clerk, to the Hero ; Thomas A. Irwin, assist.-clerk to the Edgar ; H. C. Barnard, assist.-clerk to the Trafalgar; Edwin R. S. Sandys, assist.-clerk, to the Aboukir ; Frederick G. Far rows, assist.-clerk, to the Centurion ; and Montague W. Potts, assist,-clerk, to the Narcissus. Capt. William Loring, C. 8., and Capt. John N. Tarleton, C. 8., have been appointed Aides-de-Camp to her Majesty the Queen, in the place of Rear- Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., and Rear -Admiral the Hon. Charles G. J. B. Elliot, C.B. the disturbances at that time Taging, it landed at the Cape of Good Hope. In all the active opera tions and expeditions of the Caffre war this corps took a leading part. For performing long harass ing marches, and skirmishing in the mountains and fastnesses of the Amatolas and Waterkloof in small detachments against 50 times their number of Caffres, they were never surpassed, and rarely equalled. At the end of the war great numbers were invalided from heart disease, brought on by over exertion in a hot climate. In 1857 the 73d were sent on to India to assist in quelling the mutiny, and though they arrived too late to take a share in the greater actions of Lucknow and Delhi, they did good service in different parts of Oude and Central India. The regiment is now about to pro ceed to Plymouth, where it will be stationed during the winter. During the present week a party of the Royal Artillery, under Col. Gibbon, R.A., commanding in the Eastern District, have been engaged in testing the strength of the martello towers upon the coast, by firing 68-pounder guns from them. It has been foand that nearly all the martello towers upon the coast may be mounted with heavy ordnance. The officers and men of th e Bth (King's) Regi ment, at Aldershott, have a pp rove d a design by Mr. Leifehild of a memori a l cross , t o b e e rected on the Grand Parade, Portsmouth, to the memory of those belonging to the regiment who fell during the Indian Mutiny. The -body-of the, unfortunate marine, Benjamin: Bradshaw, who was shot in the Plumstead range, was yesterday interred in the cemetery at Wool wich. Several committees have been formed to raise subscriptions for his widow and family. The non-commissioned officers of the division at Wool wich, to which he had been attached upwards of 18 years, have contributed ss. and 2s, 6d. each, various sums have been collected from civilians in the town, and committees are about to be establi s hed in every division of the Volunteer Corps for the same purpose. In accordance with orders from the Horse Guards, several alterations have been made in the transfers of the various depots at Chatham previously an nounced. Instead of the depot companies of the 2d battalion of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers pro ceeding from Walmer to Chatham, as had been ordered a few days since, to join the lst depot bat talion, the Ist battalion of the 23d has been ordered to leave Chatham, and will vacate that garrison on the 29th inst. The 73d depot will leave Chatham for Chichester on Tuesday next, relieving the depot of the 2d battalion 4th King's Own. Tho depot of the 12th Regiment is spoken of as being about to be sent to Chatham to take the place of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers. The depot companies of the 2d battalion of the 20th Regiment arrived at Chatham on Thursday evening, from Aldershott Camp. They are attached to the 2d depot battalion. Several other British depots will be stationed at Chatham. The details have not yet been announced. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. • (From the Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, AUG. M. The heat has been so oppressive that even if the armies were ready for action they could not fight. Prince Napoleon on his excursion to Mount Vernon on Wednesday lost two horses from sunstroke, or, at least, the United States Government did so, but, nothing daunted, he went across the river yester day with special passes and an escort, and attended by General M'Dowell, to the Confederate outposts, whence he went over to visit General Beauregard, and probably to Richmond. Mr. Seward did not offer any objections, of course ; but this step on the Prince's part has displeased some of the friends of the Government. I have been visiting the camps at the other side, and observe no sign of an aggressive movement, but there is a concentration • of troops on our right to meet a display of force on the part of . the enemy beyond the Chain-bridge and at Great Falls. In my last letter I referred to the misrepresenta tions respecting the visits of the Confederates to Mount Vernon, which had so far influenced General Scott that he wrote a generalorder, rather remark able in its phraseology, warning the Federal troops against the commission of any acts of Vandalism should they be in that vicinity. Similar misappre hensions on the part of General Beauregard led to his sending a flag of truce to inquire whether the Federalists had been hanging prisoners taken in battle. The explanation is that some gymnasts of a regiment were exhibiting their feats for the amuse ment of their comrades, and had been taken by the spectators as the victims of capital punishment. It is to be hoped that the report which has appeared of the brutal flogging of a Northern woman by a mob in one of the Seceded States is equally untrue. I am inclined to think General Butler's recent visit to Washington was connected with his desire to enforce on the minds of the military authorities his plan of operations from Fort Monroe, in which I must confess there seems to be a great deal of soundness. There is, of course, difficulty in the way of concentrating troops, baggage, and material by sea; but the Federalists, after all, are only twelve hours from Baltimore by the Chesapeake, and a few hours more from Washington. They command the sea, and they ought to be able to collect in force more rapidly by means of a naval flotilla than the Confederates could assemble to oppose them. The Special Session of the 37th Congress, which adjourned yesterday to the 4th of December, passed during its brief sitting of a month a number of Acts more important in character, and introduc ing changes of greater consequence in the constitu tion of the United States, than any since the Declaration of Independence. Among these, taking them in order, arc— An Act to authorise a National Loan An Act for the Temporary Increase of the Navy. An act to authorise the Employment of Volun teers to aid in enforcing the Law in Protecting Property.

An Act in addition to an Act entitled "An Act to provide for the Collection of Duties and Imports, and for other purposes," approved July 13, 1861. An Act to Define and Punish certain Conspiracies. An Act to provide for the Construction of Ar moured Ships and Floating Batteries, and for ()the' purposes. An Act to provide for the Purchase of Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Stores.

An Act authorising additional Enlistments in the Navy of the United States. An Act making further Appropriations for the Support of the Navy Service for the year ending June 30, 1862, and for other purposes. An Act making an Appropriation to pay the Expenses of the Investigating Committee of the House of Representatives and Senate, appointed the first Session of the 37th Congress, and of the Com mission authorised to Examine and Report as to the Compensation of all Officers of the Government. An Act to suspend in part the Operation of an PR1CE....... .4d, STAMPED ....sd, Act entitled " An Act Relating to Revenue Cut- tern and Steamers." An Act to confiscate Property used for Insurrec tionary Purposes. An Act to provide for holding the District and Circuit Courts in Judicial Districts during a temporary Vacancy of the Judgeship. An Act supplementary to au Act entitled "An Act to authorise a National Loan, and for other pur poses." An Act to create a Metropolitan Police District of the District of Columbia, and to establish a Police therefor. An Act requiring an Oath of Al:egiance and to support the Constitution of the United States to be administered to certain Persons in the Civil Service of the United States. An Act supplementary to an Act entitled " An Act to increase the present military Establishment of the United States," approved July 29, 1861. An Act in relation to the Office of Attorney of the United States for the southern district of New York. An Act relating to Appeals to the Supreme Court of, the United States. An Act making Appropriations for Fortifications, Ernd for other purposes. Au Act to reduce Consular Fees for Vessels run ning to or between foreign Ports.

An Act to increase the pay of the Non-commis sioned Officers, Musicians, and Privates of the li.egular. A rmy, Volunteers, Marines, and Ordinary Seamen in the service of the United States, raalfor other purposes. An Act to increase the Pay of the Privates of the Regular Army ; and of the Volunteers in the service of the United States, and for other purposes. Mr. H. May, a member of the Maryland delega tion in Congress, in explaining why he refused to recommend Lieut.-Col. Emery for the rank of gene ral, states that he did so on the ground that he re commended no one for military office during this wretched civil war, that Maryland ought not to be expected to furnish either officers or men to carry on a war so repugnant to the feelings of her people. In Missouri the now Governor, Gamble, has issued a proclamation to the authorities to enrol the people into organisation, and notifying the troops of the Confederates States who have entered the coun try, that their continuance there would be regarded as an act of war against the State of Missouri. He offers protection to penitents, apd it is understood that a committee of Public S afety will be formed in each county to maintain the peace, in default of which the United States troops would be called in and quartered on the people. In another distractedStabe, Virginia, the State Convention at Richmond have ordained that any citizen of the State holding dace under the Govern ment of the United States after the 31st July, 1661, shall ba banished for ever, and be declared an alien enemy; and that any citizen who shall undertake to represent the State in Congress shall be deemed guilty of treason, and his property shall be confis cated. The proposition of Mr. Cox, of Ohio, to appoint commissioners to meet commissioners from the Southern States, in order to adopt such amendments to the Constitution as shall assuage all grievances, was rejected so peremptorilyas to leave no hope that any disposition exists in Congress for a compromise. Indeed, it has been with difficulty that the ultra party in both houses have been prevented from passing the most violent resolutions day after day, and the very Last sitting of Congress witnessed several attempts of the kind. Mr. Diven proposed that at a time when armed rebellion threatened the integrity of the Union and the overthrow of the Government e.ny and all resolutions recommending or designing to make terms with armed rebels is either cowardice or treason ; 'which Mr. Cox met by a resolution that the member from New York who endeavoured to introduce a resolution de nouncing over 40 members of this house because of their vote for propositions to adjust our national difficulties as cowards and traitors deserves the censure of this house and of all true patriots for the falsity, arrogance, and insults to his peers con taineil in his unparliamentary resolution. It was not without opposition at the last that the resolution of Congress approving and confirming the acts of the President for suppressing insurrection and rebellion was passed before the house adjourned; and t he forlorn hope, represented by Messrs. Breck inridge, B ayard, and a few others, showed fight to the very last. The intelligence received from Ken tucky shows that so far the result of the elections to the State: Legislature has been favourable to the Unionists Bis opposed to the State-Rights men, and it is not too much to suppose that so far that great and important State has given a general adhesion to the acts of the Government. It bas yet to be seen, however, what course the Legislature will pursue, and it mus t be remembered that the Governor, Beriah Mag uffir, not long ago asserted the absolute sovereignty and neutrality of the State of Kentucky and called o at her forces, naval and military to re sist any invt ision either by the Confederates or by the troops of the United States, in which he seemed supported by the general feeling of . the citizens. An appeal made to the President in reference to searches for arms in the State of Maryland has been foil owed by an order from General Scett, that searches of houses for arms, &c., and arrests shall only be made by special authority of the Comman der of the Department, unless in extreme cases. Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, failed before the Senate rose in obtaining a hearing for his resolution, that it was no pal rt in the present war to interfere with the in stitut ion of slavery in any St ates of the Union, and it is n ow felt that if the contest is go on the end must be a direct war against slavery itself. At. •the present moment it is calculated that the United States' expenditure exceeds 1,000,000 dols. 11.- day. Mr. Secretary Chase, in his report to Con gress, stated the.t the sums already voted amounted to 318,519,581 dols., of which sum he proposed to raise 240,000,( , 00 dols. by loans, and 80,000,000 dols. by increa*.ed Customs and taxation. A direct tax of 20,000,0 )0 dols., an income-tax of 3 per cent. upon all income s above 800 dols., raised to 5 per cent. in the case of absentees, with large additions to the Morrill 'X ariff, are the means proposed; but not one shadow of truth has been adduced to prove that any one of them will answer the end, while, in the case of tl ie Seceded States, we know that the appropriations cannot at present, if ever, be raised. With all the efforts that a man can make to keep . down his ex p o 3nses, .the mighty spasmodic efforts of the North to create I%nd maint ain a great military establishment are att , ended by great waste ; but peculations, -which ha' ie been of late extensive and active, putting devil's dust and shoddy into cloth, brown paper into shoe E soles, and indulging in simi lar practice:3, whereby )atriotie citizens make for tunes by theiLr country's losses, have not so much to do with the extravagant le as the ignorance of those charged wit Llt the distribution of the public money. I have seer , it stated in a.n American paper that a volunteer costs five times as much as a regular sol dier, and I have been assured by an officer of the regular a rmy that a volunteer costs certainly three times as , much as an enlisted private. It is gene rally dec larcd that every soldier maintained by the United tates costs £2OO per annum. The last Act of Congress was to raise the pay of the soldier to 13 dols,. a manth, or about L 2 17s. 6d., and this paid to. him with little or no deduction such as our suffer from. In the matter of ordnance alone the vs Tuste must be extraordinary. Guns of all calibres, sit pounders, tens, twenties, thirties, and epeci al r ifled ordnance for each description; all kinds of "P .rimental guns on trial, some probably not more efficacious than the famous proposal which has b een suggested in many Northern f papers, of dri lug the enemy from Manassas, and of destroying thy se eternal masked batteries, how do you think ? r the plan of our old friend Pelissier, in Algeria, 7 1 hen he smoked the Arabs out of their caves! To and a paper proposes that tin vessels should be filled with snakes, scorpions, and other agreeable insects and reptiles, to. be discharged by mortars and guns into the interior of the fort, so as to de- iver their pleasant Consignments on arriving among he garrison. If I am correctly informed, the desertions from the Northern army are numerous enough to excite serious apprehensions. By a private letter from a country gentleman in Maryland I learn that, all the byways and roads are filled with men making their way home. Some are working in the neighbour hood as labourers on the farms, others are hiding in the large towns, and that they are numerous may be judged from the fact of 65 being counted going past one house in rather an out of•the-way place in one day. The stories of deserters are never to be credited. These men complain of bad treatment from officers, want of food, and no pay. It is known that some officers never stopped their career from the moment they turned their backs at Bull's Run till they ran to earth in their own houses, and by their own firesides in the North. If anything could increase the schism between the regulars and the volunteers, it has been found in the bitter manner in which the Artillery speak of the deser tion of the ,troops placed to support the United States' batteries, which were fought with great gallantry, and only abandoned at the last moment.

Military Establishment" appoints five Assistant- Inspectors-General in addition to the present g n r i :uaotmn Department,bs Department number, remodels ten ; s e u re r a g ttt e hhe o ese n a s cA , oc rdoapinusid:soa of twenty -General's seais:,is:s:t,Dahnaeetvp-Oosarurrpdit. ores I nier.t, and strengthens it ; increases the Commissa riat Department, the Quartermaster-("eneral's of female nurses ; provides for chaplains to each regiment, and for the entry of cadets into the ser vice ; increases the rations—viz., to 22 oz. bread or flour, or lib. biscuit, hard bread, beans, rice, or hominy, and lib. potatoes or equivalents, tea or coffee, fresh beef as often as practicable ; regulates retirements, relative rarks, and pay. The Congress at Richmond has instructed the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the expediency of taking and preserving evidence of the abduction or reception of slaves by the enemy, to the end that indemnity may be exacted hereafter. General Fremont has received 36 heavy guns with equipments from Pittsburg. Nothing more has been heard of General Pillow's force and its attack on Bird's Point. Some insignificant skir mishes have been reported from Missouri. I ern write no more. Thermometer 103 in the shade. COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.

No sufferer should despair till the renowned medicaments of Professor Holloway have been tried. Few cases of external or inter nal disease can resist their soothing, purifying, and lvaling virtues. They are universally applicable, they agree with every age, sex, climate, and constitution. Both ointment and pills contain the most potent, yet perfectly harmless, balsams, most carefully extracted from the purest drugs. Whatever the nature, duration, lenity, or severity of the malady, the firmest reliance may be placed on the curative action of these invaluable preparations, used in accordance with their accompanying printed instructions, THE ARMY. forming part of The depot of the 37th Regiment, the 10th Depot Battalion, in Colchester Camp, is immediately to be removed to Pembroke. The fol lowing additions will shortly be made to the strength of the camp—viz., the 2d battalion Ist Royals, from Birr, Ireland, consisting of six officers and 240 men ; the 2d battalion of the sth Fusileers, from Pembroke, comprising three officers and 110 rank and file; and the 2d battalion of the 6th Foot, from • Cork, with four officers and 200 rank and file. The 73d Regiment has arrived at Gravesend from India, in the ships Aliquis and White Eagle, after 16 years' arduous service in various parts of the world. It left England in Sept., 1845, and — after being detained for a year on the coast of South America, where it was actively engaged in quelling A IVOVEL COMPANY. The Sleek publishes some interesting details rela tive to a Joint-Stock Company founded by a few operative masons, which has proved completely suc cessful :—" They founded their association in 'lB4B, but they had the good fortune not to receive any pecuniary aid from the State. They had among them M. Nadaud, a representative of the people, who was not well viewed by the authorities. They were reproached with very strong Socialist ten eencies. In a word, the Government refast d them the capital which they lent to other companies. The masons thought they were lost—they were saved ! And in fact, they are in existence ; they are prosperous, while the companies which were fostered by the State are for the greaterpart dead, after pain fully struggling with the difficulties which their defective origin had created. In 1852, after the coup d'etut, the operative masons, having con fidence in themselves, resolved to reorganise their association. They drew up a very wise code of laws, and, possessing no capital, they observed to one another that they had, at all events, their hands, their special knowledge, and that with industry, order, economy, and good will, they might over come all obstacles. They set to work, and resolved that each member of the association should deposit in the common chest the tenth of his daily wages. This tenth was intended to supply the capital of the ,joint-=took company. During the first year, with all their efforts, and after all the sacrifices they had made, they collected only 364 f. Their association at that time consisted of only 17 opera tives, but all first-rate hands, and determined to succeed. They acted so well, and conducted themselves with so much propriety, that the year following (1858) their capital rose to 4,521 f., and in 1854 to 17,000 f. In fine, from year to year, by dint of saving. by courage and perseverance, and thanks, likewise, to the skilful management of their pecu niary affairs and to the anxious solicitude of some persons in a higher sphere who took an interest in the association, the inventory made in the year 1860 demonstrated the existence of a capital of 365,000 f., belonging to 107 associates. During the eight years between 1852 and 1860 the company under took several considerable works. The year 1860 was less fortunate for the association. Emboldened by their success, the associates for a moment de parted from the prudent line therhad marked out for themselves, and they suffered a loss of 40,000 f. We would willingly say a fortunate loss. The operates thus learnt to their cost that success in every affair is to be obtained only by excessive vigilance, great precaution, and the ab sence of all wild speculation. Noth withstan ding that loss the capital of the company rose again at the close of the year 1860 to 365,000 f enormous figure when one considers the trifling sum of 364 f. so pain fully acquired. Each associate being at the same time a labourer and a shareholder, shared the pro fits in each capacity. On every settlement the profits aro divided into two unequal parts-60 per cent. is attributed to labour, and 40 per cent, to capital. That is to say, the ass o c iates be g in b y dividing 60 per cent. in propoT h o e n n t t o he t y he d n iv u i m ae be 4 r o of pe d r a y c s e n of t! labour supplied. in proportion to the amount of capital possessed by each associate. Thus, to explain, let us take the year 1858, which gave a clear profit of 100,000 f. on a capital of 254,000 E ; 60,000 f. were allocated for labour, the associates having supplied. 26,729 days' work, for which they were paid, ac cording to custom, every 15 days, and which amounted to 105,250 f. Th e di str ibution of the 60,000 f. gave to each of them an addition of 2f. 25c. for each day's work. Let us suppose an operative earning 4f. a day in the association, and work in g 300 days in th e year, he will have received 1,200 f. for wages. The distribution of the profits, at the rate of 2t. 25c. a day, gives him an additional sum of 667 f. 50c. for wages. This is not all. The ope rative who left one-tenth of his daily wages to con titute a capital for the company became b 7 this fact a shareholder of the company. The portion attributed to capital for the year 1858 having amounted to 40,000 f., the same operative who re ceived an additional sum of 667 f. 50c. for wages is likewise to receive a share of the 40,000 f. allocated for capital in proportion to the various sums he paid in to the common chest. 'The association sup presses undertakers of buildings and all inter mediaries. It contracts directly with the proprie tors of the soil, and realises for itself the profits which others receive for themselves under the old system. The operative, thus become powerful by the fact of the association, offers on his part great advantages to those who will employ him." THE MAILS. MAILS DUE.
