EXTRACTS PROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860. The success of the Company, e , en in it!, earliest years, received the marked atten ion, and elicited the surprised c omments, of writers best"acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. "Eire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums 'or the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851. "Life Premiums for 1860 EXCP ED the Entire Life Pre- Miums for the EIGHTY EARS ending 1852. • ,"Purcha.e of Annuities in 1 8 60 LARGELY EXCEEDS the • similar receipts for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "Thip progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, emasidering t hat t applies to each of the three branches of the business." FIRE BRANCH "The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dor bthe year 1860 of that impetus which had previously ought 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 £2 , 8,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of £2-2,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of .£34,663 Its. Bd., ex ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in INvo years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en rtinced by the enormous sum of 466,829 17s. sd. " The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty pP id to Government for the year 1860 exhibits the anu - mentation of the business in a more promineitt way, as it affords the means comparison wh other Companies. Th Prorietors will b b e gratified to learn that the increase of e Duty p paid by the poYal in the last year is more than double that of any other .;;9 7, oany, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of ' , nose Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad 'tance of this Comp ny. Our increase actually cquais 31) per Cent of the entire increase of the whol- of he Metropolitan Ofnces combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up 'Wards of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the otherAV offices e stablished out of London, LIFE BRANCH. `The Reports of the Company for several years have hid pvariably to announce a corstant periodical expansion of its Life Business, the New Policies nfeach succeeding year show ' ,hri,g an advance over the one that had i m m e diately preceded IL A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums • on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097 178 , 10d., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17a. sd. above the amount received for the year 1859. "But even this advance is small when compared with the sadden and remarkable momentum which has been given to this Branch of the Business in the pre sen t y ear (1860. "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquai , ited with the fact th it the Royal Insurance Com-any hut published late in the last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and Liabilities of its Life Department, under a n6vel 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 it. accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared in the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the attention of vast numbers f Persons in all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a Host 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 it seif exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period time "If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com tany would, with respect to the amount of its new b u si ness , e at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the bead 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 Lire Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation."

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

I have now invented a. compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 Vs. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

IRISHMEN IN AMERICA. Two Irish notorieties shared in the misfortunes of the Northern troops at the battle of Bull's Run. The one was Thomas Meagher, of '4B celebrity; the other Colonel Corcoran, the patriotic indivi dual who refused to parade his men when the Prince of Wales visited New York. A letter from America, in the Dublin Morning News, says : "It is not true that Meagher is killed, I have seen a telegram from Mrs. Meagher from Washing ton, where she has resided since her husband went intotho field. The message is brief, but conclusive on the subject Mr. Meagher is safe.' rhe next correction, important to our people, is that Colonel Corcoran, at first reported killed, is alive, but badly wounded, and, it is said, a prisoner. The 69th (Irish) Regiment has been awfully cut up. Cap tain Haggerty is killed. Rev. Father O'Reilly, S.J., chaplain, also has fallen on the field. The roll of dead will raise a wail throughout Ireland when the names are knowm In fact, the 69th are nearly all taken or slain." The same letter gives a graphic, though brief, account of the battle. The writer says the Northern troops threw away 23,000 stand of arms in their flight. Subjoined are a few remarkable statements culled from this epistle:— • " New York, July 23. " In the midst of excitement, terror, and panic never witnessed in this city since Clinton heard the rebel' cannon thundering for its fall, I sit down to write you a few important corrections of the news going off to Europe by this day's New York's papers and telegrams with reference to the fearful and disastrous battle of Sunday. " The battle was probably the heaviest ever fought in America ; whether as regards the number engaged, the number killed, wounded, and taken, or the toughness and ferocity of the fight. There were in all about 149,000 men engaged. The Northerns had exactly 65,000 men on the field, and the Southerns probably at least as strong a force. " There is no use concealing the fact. The retreat —the flight—was the most utter, fearful, and heart rending ever witnessed. The battle commenced at day-dawn on Sunday, and lasted all day. Up to four o'clock in the afternoon the day seemed, to our army, all their own. They had stormed and carried three of the advanced batteries of the Confederates. Several times, indeed, had those batteries changed hands. They were won and lost by each side three or four times in the course of eleven hours' hard and bloody fight. But at 4 p.m. the Northerns held them. "At this point of the day's fortune Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, him self.carne up by rail from Richmond, and took the command in person of the whole army of the South. Under him were General Beauregard, the first sol dier of America, and General Johnstone. All (Ner the roar of battle as it raged our men could hear the shouts that hailed the appearance on the field of the first President of the Southern Confederacy come to take his place at the head of his army, and for life or death try the dread issue of a conquering fall. Davis took command of the centre; Beauregard the right; Johnstone the left wing. Suddenly there opened, on the part of the Southern centre, a whole line of batteries masked till now. Evidently they had hitherto only been playing with the Northerns. The game was in the toils; the moment was come for sealing his doom. The Southerns now showed in full force, and a splendid force they were. There was a heart and enthusiasm about them that made them absolutely spring like leopards on their prey. And lo ! amongst them was a battalion of negro volunteers; a battalion at whose hands a terrible reckoning has been received by our troops ! After an instant of desperate effort to make a stand, the Northern centre gave way—the left soon followed —the right for a time held its ground fiercely fight ing; but in vain—at length the whole Northern army turned and fled. It is put forward by some of our papers that the flight was originated by the teamsters of the waggon train galloping off. I write from information direct from the disastrous scene. The teams were three miles in the rear at the time the flight began. In fact, they were ridden over by the fugitives. "Never was such a sight seen on a road after a flying army. They left standards, baggage, ammu nition waggons, rifle cannon, all their batteries, their commissariat, havresacks, blankets, tents, &c. In fact, the hihrtne states that the men threw away 28,000 stand of arms in their flight. Worse remains than all this. The wounded were aban doned by hundreds along the roadside, and were, with stragglers and camp followers, ridden over by the streams of flying thousands. The victorious Southerns took an immense, number of prisoners. It is currently reported here that they have prisoners enough in their hands now to compel a settlement. Amongst the prisoners are several Northern sena tors and members of Congress. "Young John Mitchel, who, as you are doubtless aware, is serving in the Southern army, has been publicly commended for valour, and promoted to a captaincy in the South Carolina Irish Volunteers." P ARM MEN TA RI CHANGES DURING THE SESSION. There have been more than the average number of changes in the House of Commons during the session which is now at its close. On the first even ing of meeting (February 5) new writs were issued for South Wiltshire, vacant by the elevation of Mr. Sidney Herbert to the Peerage; for Bolton, vacant by the resignation of Mr% Crook ; for Bradford, by the resignation of Mr. Salt ; and for Aberdeenshire, by the succession of Lord Haddo to the Earldom of Aberdeen.

On the same evening Major Barttelot (who had been elected in the recess in .the place of the Earl of March, who had become Duke of Richmond) and Mr. Lort Phillips (who had been elected for Pembrokeshire) took their seats. In a day or two afterwards Mr. Heygate took his seat for Leicester, in the room of Dr. Noble, deceased. By the death of Sir John Owen in February a vacancy was caused in the represen tation of the borough of Pembroke. To fill this vacancy Sir Hugh Owen was elected. By the death of the Duke of Sutherland the Marquis of Stafford was raised to the dukedom, and left a va cancy in the representation of Sutherlandshire. Sir David Dundas was elected to fill it.

Mr. Harvey Lewis succeeded Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., in the representation of Mary lebone. By the death of Mr. David Pugh on the 20th of April a vacancy occurred in the representation of the Montgomery Boroughs. He was succeeded by his son-in-law, Captain Willes Johnson, who was returned without opposition. Just at this time Mr. Hugh Taylor resigned the representation of South Shields, and was succeeded by Mr. Hodg son ; Major Gordon Duff resigned Banffshire, and was succeeded by Mr. R. W. Duff Abercromby. The Hon. Thomas Edward Mostyn Lloyd Mostyn died on the 7th of Mar. He was succeeded by Lord Richard Grosvenor, a son of the Marquis of Westminster.

In consequence of the elevation of Sir Richard , Bethel' to the Lord Chancellorship a vacancy took place in the representation of Wolverhampton. Mr. Weguelin, a director of the Bank of England, and formerly member for Southampton, was elected to fill it. Other results of Sir Richard Bethell's elevation were the re-election of Sir William Ather ton, the new Attorney-General, for the city of Dur ham, and the election of Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., the new Solicitor-General, for Richmond, in the room of Mr. Henry Rich, who resigned. Colo nel Luke White was returned for Longford, in the room of Colonel White, who resigned. For Sel kirkshire Lord H. Scott, a son of the Duke of Buc cleuch, was elected in the room of Mr. Eliott Lock hart, who resigned. In consequence of the elevation of Lord John Russell to the Peerage a vacancy in the representation of the city of London took place. After a sharp contest with the Lord Mayor, Mr. Western Wood was elected. Mr. H. B. Coles was returned for Andover,' in the room of the Lord Mayor (Mr. Cubitt), who resigned for the purpose of contesting the city. Within the last few days Sir George Grey, Mr. Cardwell, and Sir Robert Peel have been re-elected for Morpeth, Oxford, and Tamworth, in consequence of Governmental changes. Rear-Admiral James John Stopford has been appointed Conservator of the Thames. We mentioned some days ago that Mdlle. &helles and Mdlle. Fossli, dancers at the theatre at Stral sund, had been severely burnt in consequence of the dress of the former coming in contact with a gaslight and that of the latter by running to her assistance. We regret to an nounce that both these young danseuses have since died from the injuries they received. THE NAVY. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are expected to commence their annual inspection at Plymouth to-morrow. On Thursday they will be present at the ball at St. George's-hall, Stonehouse, in aid of the funds of the British Female Orphan Asylum. The screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Captain Arthur Cumming, flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel, from South America, which arrived at Plvniiiuth On Sunday afternoon. left again in the evening for Spithead. As the fri gate departed .those on board were cheered most lustily by the crews of the Donegal, 99, and the S ur. prise, 4, at anchor in the Sound. The Emerald left Bahia on the 4th of July, St. Vincent on the 18th, and Fayal (where pratique was refused) on the 28th. She spoke, in long. 24.9 W., lat. 1020 N., the barque Arab, of London, bound to Bahia. Mr. Christie, Envoy to the Court of Brazil, landed from her at Plymouth. Lord Frederick H. Kerr, the newly-appointed Captain of the screw steamship Blenheim, 60, sta tioned at MilfordHaven,on the Coastguard service has recently completed ,a tour round his district, which extends from Aberystwith to Glocester, in the gunboat, Violet (tender to the Blenheim), Lieut. and Commander Eugene C. Batty. The Coastguard men are exercised at the different stations, a week at a time, at great gun drill with shot practice. The firing generally is good, and the force is repre sented as consisting of • a fine body of well-trained men. The Violet is now at Cardiff, whence she pro ceeds to Milford, calling at Port Cawl and Swansea en route. The Plover, 5, screw despatch gun vessel, was yesterday placed alongside the Anchor-wharf, at Chatham dockyard, and received on board her masts, spars, yards, anchors, sails, cables, and other gear, with which she proceeds this day to Ports mouth, where she is to join the first division of the steam reserve. The Plover was afterwards moored alongside the Diamond, 27, in Chatham harbour. The naval transport Rochester, Mr. Heather piaster-Commander, was placed alongside the wharf at Chatham yesterday, and landed two of the large condensers for the line-of-battle screw steamer Bombay, 81, fitting for the steam reserve at Chat ham. The Bombay is under orders to leave Chat ham harbour this day, and proceeds to Folly-point, where she is to complete fitting. The screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21, 400-horse power, is being fitted with her machinery in Chat ham harbour by the contractors, Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co. Yesterday she was removed from her moorings opposite the dockyard, and taken higher up the harbour to enable the screw corvette Orpheus, 21, placed under the floating shears to be masted and brought forward for the steam reserve. The Iris, 26, was yesterday placed alongside the Glocester, 50, to complete stripping, in order that her masts, yards, spars, and other gear may be transferred to the Winchester, 50. The Bulldog, 6, Commander H. F. MiKillop, steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morning at high water to Spithead, and, after an choring, took in powder and shell. She will take on board supernumeraries prior to sailing for her destination, Halifax and the West Indies. The subjoined list of the deaths through yellow fever on board her Majesty's ship Firebrand, on the West India station, from the 13th to the 24th of July inclusive, was received yesterday at the Ad miralty :—Adplphus D.

Green, stoker; Edward L. Townsend, ordinary seaman ; John G. Rogers, cr dinary seaman; Howard C. Simpson, ship's steward's boy ; James Merman, second-class boy ; and Wm. Hill, first-class boy. We have to record the death of Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., who expired yesterday morning, at his residence in Cadogan-place, after a protracted illness. This distinguished officer was born at Cahirnane, in the county of Kerry, in 1793. He entered the navy on the 23d of July, 1803, as first-class volunteer on board the Excellent, 74, Capt. F. Sothcron, and on that ship proceeding to the Mediterranean was rated a midshipman the following year. After serving at the defence of Gaete and the capture of Capri, he removed to the Blonde, 38, Capt. V. V. Ballard, and was present in December, 1807, at the reduction of the Danish West India Islands. On the Ist of August, 1809, as a reward for the gallant conduct he exhibited while prizemsster of the L'Alert, 20, he was nomi nated by Sir Alexander Cochrane to a lieutenancy in his flagship, the Neptune, 98. On the 19th of October, 1814, he was advanced to the rank of Commander. In 1821 he was appointed to the Icarus, 10, fitting for the Jamaica station, whence he removed on the 6th of May, 1822, to the Carna tion, 18, and was posted on the 25th of November following to a death vacancy in the Tamar, 26. Commanding that vessel until she was paid off in August, 1823, Capt. Herbert succeeded during that time in destroying three liratical vessels on the coasts of Cuba and Yucatan. On the 10th of No vember, 1837, having been ashore for a period of 14 years, he was appointed to the command of the Calliope, 26, and proceeded to the Brazils, where, until the arrival of Commodore T. B. Sulivan, he executed the onerous duties of senior officer. He was subsequently ordered to assume the command of the naval force in Rio de la Plata. In January, 1840, he proceeded to join Rear-Admiral C. B. H. Ross at Valparaiso, whence in the following June he sailed for China. Arriving in the Canton river on the 10th of October, Capt. Herbert assumed, and, until the arrival of Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Eliot on the 20th ofNovember, retained, the command of the blockading force. On the 7th of January, 1841, while in command of the advanced squadron off the Boca Tigris,he conducted the attack made on the enemy's forts at Chuenpee, where were destroyed 11 powerful j unks, the flower of the Chinese fleet ; and on the 23d. of February, being at the time on board the Nemesis, he effected the destruction (1 of a 20-gun battery at the back of the island of Anunghoy. Three days afterwards, while in the Calliope, he headed the operations against the cele brated Bogue Forts ; and on the 27th, with a part of the squadron under his orders) attacked the enemy's camp, fort, and ship Cambridge, bearing the Chinese Admiral's flag, at their position near Whampoa, where 98 guns were destroyed. On the 13th March, after capturing tho last fort protective of the approachco to Canton, Captain Herbert's squadron advanced towards that city, and on the 18th attacked all the batteries and flotilla in its vicinity, and after a severe conflict of two hours and a-half, during which time all the former were destroyed and the latter burnt, was enabled to plant the British flag on the walls of the Factory, thus placing totally in their power the city of Quang-tong. In the month of June Captain Her bert succeeded, owing to the death of Sir H. F. Senhouse, to the command of the whole force in that river, and on the arrival shortly afterwards of Rear-Admiral Sir W. Parker as commander-in chief was removed to the Blenheim, 72, in which ship, in the course of the following months, he as. sisted with great distinction at the capture of Am oy, the retaking of Chusan, and the reduction of Chunghae. On the latter occasion he landed in command of the light column of attack, consi s ting of upwards of 700 seamen and Marines, and stormed and carried the citadel situate on the left bank of the Tinghae river. After being present at the surrender of Ningpe, ine returned to Hong kong in February, 1842, and resnwed the command of the squadron in the Canto;, river.

STAMPED ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON, Aug. 5. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) THE KINGSTON MURDER. Martha Bradish, 4'2, married, was chargcd with the wilful murder of her step-sister by cutting her throat with a razor. She was also charged with the same offence upon the coroner's inquisition. The prisoner, who is a tall, powerful woman, was very well dressed, and she pleaded " Not Guilty" to both the indictment and the coroner's inquisition in a firm tone of voice. Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton and Mr. H. Williams were counsel for the prisoner. Mr. Robinson, in opening the case to the jury, said the prisoner was charged with the offence of wilful murder, and he believed there could be no doubt whatever that it was by the hand of the pri soner that the unfortunate deceased, who was a young woman about 20 years old and the step-sister of the prisoner, met her death, and the only question that in the result they would have to consider was whether at the time the act was committed the pri soner was an accountable .being, and responsible for her actions. He was bound to admit that there did not appear to be the slightest motive either of jealousy or anger for the commission of the clime, but at the same time he thought it his duty to in form the jury that the evidence did not appear in the slightest degree to show that the prisoner had exhibited any symptom of insanity either before 'or after the transaction, and that, although she un doubtedly appeared to be a good deal excited after the act had been committed, the jury would have to consider whether this might not be fairly ascribed to the natural remorse that must always follow after the commission of such a dreadful deed, and not as a proof that the mind of the prisoner was affected. The evidence was then gone into, and the facts deposed to were qaite conclusive to prove that the prisoner had destroyed the deceased. It appeared that the prisoner was the wife of a sergeant-major in the 3d Regiment of Surrey Militia, the head quarters of which were stationed at Kingston, and occupied the barracks in that town, and the prisoner and her husband had two rooms on the groundfioor, one of which was used as a bed-room, which was entered from the barrack-yard, and the other as a sitting-room. The deceased, who had been em ployed as a domestic servant, was out of place at the beginning of March, and the prisoner had in vited her to come and pass a few days with her and her husband, and she slept in the inner room upon a bed made up on a sofa, and had done so for about 14 days at the time the fatal occurrence took place. The murder was committed on the morning of the 26th of March, and it appeared that shortly before 7 o'clock on that morning the husband of the pri soner got up and went out, leaving the prisoner its bed, and the deceased also in bed in the adjoin ieg room. The prisoner would seem, from the evidence, to have got up almost immediately after her husband left her, to have taken a razor belong ing to him from a drawer, and gone into the room where the deceased was lying, and inflicted a f=arful woand in her throat. There is very little doubt that the unhappy young woman was asleup when the prisoner attacked her, but she rose front her bed, staggered a few feet into the adjoining room, and then fell down dead. Immediately after the dreadful occurrence the prisoner went into the barrack-yard and accosted one of the sergeants, and said to him, " I have murdered my sister ; come along with me, and I will show you where she is," and she then went to the pump, and washed her hands. Dr. Cory, a medical gentleman residing in the town, was sent for, and upon his arrival the prisoner said to him, " Oh, doctor, this would not have happened if I had taken your advice," and she afterwards became very excited and exclaimed that she must have been mad or she could not have done what she had to a sister she loved so well. It ap peared from the evidence that the prisoner and the deceased had always been on the most affectionate terms, and there never had been the slightest quar rel or ill-feeling between them, and there wasi not the smallest assignable motive suggested for the commission of such a dreadful act. It was stated, however, in the course of the case, that the prisoner had been in India with her husband, and that she had suffered from the, climate, and Dr. Cory, who had attended upon her, had ordered her to keep herself very quiet, as her brain was likely to be affected by any excitement. Mr: Ribton made a most able address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, in the course of which he particularly observed upon the absence of motive on the part of the prisoner for the commis sion of such a dreadful crime, and said that the only answer he was instructed to make to the charge was that at the time the act was committed the prisoner was in such a state of mind as not to be criminally responsible. Several witnesses were then examined, whose evidence went to show that one relation of the pri soner had destroyed himself, that another had twice attempted to commit suicide, and that the mother of the prisoner was also insane. Evidence was also given that the prisoner at the time of the melan choly occurrence was in a peculiar condition of health incidental to women at her period of life. and Dr. Hood, the consulting physician of Bethlehem Hospital, a gentleman of great experience and skill in these cases, stated that women in this condition we t re peculiarly subject to sudden attacks of mamia, during which they would commit acts of viola nce and homicide, without being at all aware of the i character of the acts they were committing. The learned Judge having summed up the whole of the evidence, , The jury at once Acquitted the prisoner on the ground of her insanity, and she was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly calm a nd composed, and who exhibited no emotion d ur i n g any portion of the trial, was then r emoved front the bar. ___...... POLICE INTELL IG ENCE -Aug. 5.
