CITY, Two O'CLOCK The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exh_ bited a brisk appearance, with a good business doing, but prices of all kinds were without any 1-2 considerable change. The sales were estimated at 15,006 bales (4,000 of which were taken for export 131 and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 350 Bahia, 32 at 60. to RA. ; 500 Egyptian, 6±d. to 74d. ; and 400 Surat, a t 41d. t o 52d. per lb. Th e Share 2'' Market was quiet, without any change in prices. 25 Advices from Havre report a steady import 9t. trade in colonial produce. The market for wool St. was well supplied, and the prices a little lower, at 55J) 20 if. 70c. per kilo. f or woo l s i n grease , t o 2f, ; an d 2f. 20c. for washed wools. Coffee was in demand, 20 and an expected scarcity of the article created a lg little speculation, which produced a slight advance 50 on previous quotations. The sugar market like- 15. wise showed an upward t en d enc y in pric e s, an d 10 ' some large lots changed hands at an advance. St. )t Accounts from the Russian ports in the Baltic 2 ' 6 ' state that trade is very animated, and the prices 25 of hemp, linseed, and other descriptions of Rus sian,produce suitable for export were well main- 10 tained. At Riga, up to the 24th instant, the hol ders of tallow were not inclined to sell at less than ;4' 45 roubles, which shippers were buying only in 20 • sufficient quantities to meet their immediate wants. 10 Linseed was in demand at 52 to 6r. per pod for st. Drujaua, an d 61 t o 6 3.10 f or W a smaer. st. The monetary and commercial intelligence from st st . New York, per steamer Baltic, which arrived yes- St. terday with $458,291 in specie, contain no new St• features of importance. In the discount market there was a moderate demand for accommodation, hut the supply of capital continued abundant. Speculative securities ruled exceeding dull, and rather heavy, the excessive heat having induced a great number of the principal dealers to leave for the country. The George Law had been announced with $1,700,000 in gold from California, where the production of gold was still exceedingly large. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1856.

The English Stock Market remains in a heavy condition and at almost stationary quotations. Speculative dealings are of rather rare occurrence, and the investments made by the public are still ci rcumscribed. Consols for transfer have been 95. 1 2 - ;1, for account (August) 95; 2, and for September 9 4 9 6. The Now 3 per Cents. have been rather largely dealt in at 96} and the Reduced at 95 96 . Exchequer Bills have been as low as 18c, premium, owing to the active demand for money on the Stock Exchange, and the Bonds 1 00 India Bonds are 19s. to 225. premium. For Foreign Stocks there is a dull market, but some of the quotations have slightly advanced. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 1031 1, and the 4 per Cents. are nominal, Spanish Threes are 44k, and the New Deferred 23i Venezuela Deferred have been marked 14k, Mexican 231, Grenada New Active 20, and Chili an 6 per Cents. 104.

A slight improvement has taken place in the Railway Share Market, the account having been almost arranged. Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, and North-Western, are at fuller quotations. Sambre and Meuse have risen 11. to 21., but Northern of France are flatter. The Iteanadian are quiet, at previous prices. Ceylons Bengals 4 premium, and Calcuttas Prem. There have been a few dealings in Joint Stock /tanking shares, but at reduced values. Miscellaneous are generally inactive. RRITISII FUNDS THIS DAY.--CLOSING PRICES.

ALDERSHOT.-REVIEW OF THE TROOPS Shr.fPai RAILWAYS. eseis Compan Closina ?Moor this day. rir einew his BY HER MAJESTY. Yesterday her Majesty again visited the camp at Alder shot, to review the newly-arrived and last batch of troops from the late seat of war in the East. As this, we believe, is intended to be the last public or holiday review of the military season, so it was also in the number of troops on the ground, and of spectators to witness their mancsuvres, by far the best of the many which have taken place there. Of course, with the peculiar fatality which attaches to all the spectacles at Aldershot, even the display of yester day caused souse disappointment, for in the neighbourhood of the camp rumours had been industriously circulated that it would take place on Tuesday; and on that day, therefore, some thousands assembled in the vain expecta tion of witnessing a review which was never intended to take place. This disappointment, however, seemed to have produced no very serious effect, for the visitors from the surrounding towns and villages to camp yesterday im mensely exceeded the numbers which have attended on any previous similar occasion. The metropolis also con tributed a considerable portion of the concourse, and long special trains were started by the South-Western to meet the increased demand. During the early part of the morning the weather was very close and cloudy, betokening either one or the other of Aldershot evils, heat or heavy rain, in rapid alternation, between the extreme of which the unhappy denizens of the camp pass their lives. But before ten o'clock the fernier nuisance had asserted its superiority in the most marked and vindictive manner. The surface of the country was covered with a light wavy mist like a deluge of heat; the clusi rose without provocation, and settled lazily on every thing, and the dark marshy plains of Aldershot looked like a great pitch lake, and was quite as hot under the fierce morning sun. As a matter of course, under such circum stances, there was an unusually small muster of vehicles at the Farnborough station, and the drivers of these wisely took advantage of the times to extend their fares far be yond the bounds of previous extortion. London visitors were, of course, obliged to submit to whatever terms the conscience of the fly driver dictated, for the alternative of toiling over hill and dale to camp by such a dusty road and on such a day, was a step, or rather series of steps, into taking which no amount of extortion was likely to lead. The Orleans Princes, De Joinville, D'Aumale, and De Nemours, arrived at Farnborough by an early train. We may mention, to show the hospitable inducements which visitors to the camp receive, that it was with difficulty that these illustrious individuals procured a limited break fast of eggs and bacon at a road-side inn. It was not till visitors came to the camp that they found they had arrived hours too soon, for the review was not to take place till four, and all seemed to have secured their places on the heath before twelve. A few strolled about the camp, which bears a less painful resemblance to a dirty colliery now than it did a week or two ago. The Rifles, 42d, 88th, some Artillery, and small detachments of other regiments, are under canvas, and the clean lively aspect of the tents much relieves the monotonous rows of low black huts of the rest of the camp. In the south camp the Artillery have erected stables for some 200 horses. The north side of the stables is formed by a steep bank made of earth ; the other parts by fir stakes driven in the ground, and interwoven with fir branches, the whole being roofed over with canvas supported on poles. These have been erected by artillerymen, assisted (and we presumed directed) by some Sappers and Miners. The stables are good, but more than this we cannot say, for they certainly are not se good as they ought to have been made, and with such materials at command as they could easily have been made. We were called upon to admire them as evidencing the ease with which the English soldier adapts himself to the necessities of his position, and the skill with which he remedies its deficiencies. But we re. gret that we could not view them in such a favourable light. It was only because the Artillery were ordered to build stables that they did so, and unless they now com plete what they have begun, and really protect the horses against the changes of our uncertain climate, the stables will be useless and empty before November. But poor and inadequate as these stables are, making the men erect them is a stop in the right direction, and we also hope the com mencement of a system of drill-training which has been utterly neglected in our service—we mean of teaching the 50 ;X Bedford acd T.siletchley St. 100 St I.'o Clydesdalejt - ,. 25 all Col.

Both gallant corps marched well past the Queen, and the latter regiment showed that it wants but little drill to make it, as of old, the famous Connaught Rangers, who, in every quarter of the world, have done more to uphold the reputation of the British arms than almost any o ther corps in the service. Yesterday General Knollys was, we presume, out of spirits. At least he declined to amuse the spectators with any of the military manoeuvres so peculiarly his own, and a sample of which original tactics on the occasion of the last Royal review at Aldershot compelled the Prince of Prussia to relax his stern features into something as near a smile as court etiquette permits on such untoward occa sions. Those of our military readers who were present on that day will easily recollect the beautiful warlike ar rangement we refer to. The gallant general was then sup- posed to be defending the steep bluff eminence of Caesar's Camp against an attack by superior numbers. To secure the victory to his side ho drew up his cavalry in a line of squadrons, placed his skirmishers behind them, and firing along their ranks ; his artillery in the plain below these again, and firing point blank into both skirmishers and cavalry. The infantry, as a branch of tho service not much used in the defence of steep rugged heights, were judiciously placed on the open common, half a mile in the rear of all, i❑ long solid lines, looking ou quietly, as if the novel military dispositions carried out on the height above them were expressly for their protection. This, however incredible it may appear to our military readers who were not present, is nevertheless a perfectly true account of what actually took place. We wonder does such drill as this, when one regiment is taught to fire into the back of another, at all account for the pugnacious relaxations which the troops at Aldershot have enjoyed when off duty. After marching past, therefore, the troops merely retired still further from the already distant spectators, and commenced a slight sham battle. It was principally an affair of skirmishing, and as the men were only provided with five rounds of car tridge no heavy firing took place. All the movements were simple, and consisted merely of au advance upon a gentle slope, which was surmounted by a wood, held by skir mishers. The great distance which intervened between the spectators and the troops prevents our giving more than this bare announcement, that something in the nature of a sham fight did take place. The review terminated soon after seven. Her Majesty slept at the Pavilion in camp last night. The arrangement of the railway authorities at Farnbo rough were, as usual, most complete; and, notwithstand ing the great rush of visitors, gave general satisfaction. Naval and Military Intelligence.

Her Majesty's steam-frigate Sidon, 22, Captain Ingle field, was paid off at Portsmouth yesterday. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Leopard, 18, Captain Hayes, left Spithead on Tuesday evening for Plymouth. The Claro transport, No. 121, arrrived yesterday morn ing at Spithead with Ordnance stores. Her Majesty's steam two-decker James Watt, 91, Capt. T. V. Anson, left Spithead yesterday morning for Fly mouth, in tow of her Majesty's paddle-frigate Valorous, 16, Captain C. H. M. Buckle. The James Watt transport, N. 112, left Spithead yes terday for the Thames, to disembark stores from the East. Her Majesty's ships Queen, 116, Capt. Robert F. Stop ford, and London, 90, Captain William H. Jervip, were appointed to go from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze yes _ terday (Wednesday). The paddlewheel steam-transport Rhadamanthus, 4, Commander Edmund P. Cole, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, and went into Hamoaze. The steam-transport Istamboul, from Portsmouth, for orders, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, and wont up Hamoaze. The screw steam-vessel Osprey, 4 guns, recently com pleted and fitted in Woolwich dockyard, having been com missioned by Commander Henry J. Blomfield, left her moorings yesterday for Greenhithe, prior to departure (it is said) for the East India station. The Arthur Gordon transport, No. 238, which arrived at Woolwich on Sunday, has cleared her Ordnance stores and entered the Victoria-docks to discharge Tower stores. The governors of the convict-hulks Warrior and Defence, moored off Woolwich dockyard and Arsenal, received in structions yesterday from Colonel Jobb, Superintendent of the Board of Directors, to prepare a list of the officers under their respective charge who may be entitled to su perannuation claims, as, from tho changes which are about to take place, their services will be no longer required. The Warrior and Defence are now to be broken up, and the convicts will be transferred to the newly-erected prison just completed at Chatham. Tho Prince, City of Dublin Company's steamer, Captafn Dean commander, arrived at Kingstown on Tuesday from Liverpool, having on board 102 private; 2 serjeants, and 1 non-commissioned officer, of the 2d Royal North British Dragoons.

This section of the 96th comprised 603 rank and file. The 96th only returned 15 months ago from the East Indies, where it h•td been sta tioned in various quarters for 16 years, during which period the corps had a large share of arduous service, and lost nearly half its number by contagious disease and the vi cissitudes of the climate. Another draught of the same regiment, comprising 260 privates and 16 women, were to embark at Kingstown yesterday in another transport for Gibraltar. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday : Lieut. H. Berkeley, to the Princess Royal ; Lieut. G. J. Dall, to the Cruiser; Lieut. E. M. Smith, to the Fury; A. A.

MA'zili'S SHIPBUILDING WORKS AT BrAcKwaLL.--:The freehold and leasehold property, with fixed plant and machinery, forming the iron shipbuild ing works of M r. Mare at Blackwall, was disposed of by public auction j yesterday, at the Auction Mart, under an order in bankruptcy. It was stated that the property cost Mr. Mara 150,0001. The attendance was very nu merous. The ro.was only one bid, 55,000/., from Mr. Rolt, M.P., t,o whom the property was knocked down. - r _._ ~~ troops of all arms to rely upon their own exertions for forming a good camp and its accessory kinds of shelter. Two years ago and an artilleryman would as soon have ex pected to be told to make a watch as stabling for his horses. Her Majesty arrived at the Farnborough station from Osborne at five minutes past one. Royal carriages were in waiting with a guard of honour of the 7th Hussars to con vey the party to camp. Her Majesty was accompanied by hie Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, and attended by Lady Churchill as Lady in Waiting. All the party immediately entered the carriages, and proceeded at once to the Royal Pavilion in the south camp. Immediately after the royal cortege had departed, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also arrived . from Osborne in a special train, having missed that which con. veyed her Majesty by a few minutes. Shortly before three o'clock all the troops in camp were under arms and began to move by various routes to the usual review ground, the long valley on the right of the old Oxford-road. As the troops moved a hot, stiflinf , breeze was sweeping across the heath, laden with clouds of sandy dust, so fine that as the Egyptians sly of the " Sa miel," it would enter an egg through the pores of its shell. But in spite of the painful annoyance, the aspect of the common, covered in all directions with masses of troops, was beautiful and striking iu the extreme. On this oc casion there was a larger muster of troops than we believe has ever before been witnessed in England on any one spot. More than 26,000 of our best soldiers wore under arms. There was the 4th, 7th, 19th, 20th, 23d, 330, 38th, 41st, 42d, 44th, 49th, 77th, 88th, 90th, 95th, and 97th Regiments of the Lino ; the Ist and 20 battalions of the Rifle Brigade, and three battalions of the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Fusilier Guards. With this fine body of infantry were the Ist Dragoon Guards, the 7th, 11th, and 15th Hussars, two regiments of cavalry of the British German Legion, two troops of the Royal Horse Artillery, and two field batteries. The cavalry and artillery formed up on the long hill to the south of the valley. The infantry drew up in two double lines, extending nearly the length of the valley— considerably over a mile. Which formed the first line, or how the various regi ments were placed, it is quite impossible to say, for the same absurd rules as to keeping all visitors at a distance, which on the last occasion excited such discontent, were still rigidly adhered to. What an invaluable officer General Knollys would be to occupy a large extent of country, since it seems to require nearly half a county to draw up 23,000 men in double lines. What would he have done if the Government, impressed with an appreciation of his military genius and his long and arduous services in so many bloody campaigns, had sent him to the Crimea. How would he then have disposed of his army of 50,000 men, with all their material and stores, which, with the French and Turks, were confined to less space than he yesterday allotted at standing room for his troops. As was also the case on the last occasion, the representatives of the press were kept far away from the troops with the most jealous care. Tho officer in charge of the party of the 15th Hussars, keeping the ground, behaved with the utmost courtesy, and promised to endeavour to procure permission for the reporters to advance to such a distance as would give them a chance of seeing what was going forward among the troops. But this permission, for some inscrutable reason or other, he was unable to procure, and the reporters from the London papers wore consequently quite excluded. The case, to say the least, was equally hard with the thousands of other visitors, who had come many miles in the hope of witnessing the review, but who, kept at a distance of nearly half a mile, could of course discern little beyond dust and a gleam of bayonets. If these reviews at Alder shot were intended as mere Court amusements we should' , not again have adverted to the illiberal and irrational re gulations laid down by General Knollys, but as her Ma jesty's gracious intention of visiting the camp is always officially announced beforehand, it is evident that the at tendance of the public on occasions of such national inte rest is rather sought than otherwise. Under such circum stances, therefore, it seems doubly hard upon the public, after having journeyed many miles, to be excluded, by the command of one officer, from witnessing the sight they came to see. The annoyance yesterday was not the less severely felt and complained of, by knoting that whoever had the honour of acquaintance with the mounted police could always pass the lino when kept by them, and the company of an officer in uniform was sufficient to pass large parties through the line kept by the soldiers. While the troops were drawn up, the three French princes, ac companied by the Prince of Wales, rode round the lines, minutely surveying the vas ions regiments. Her Majesty came upon the ground in au open pony car riage precisely at four o'clock, and was received with a royal salute from the artillery and the usual honours. TI se Royal party then slowly drove along the lines of troops until the whole force had been inspected. The differei rt corps then marched past. The cavalry and artillery camel first, then the Guards and the regiments of the line. Only three of the latter among the newly-arrived troops require special notice-the 420 Highlanders , 77th and 88th regi ments. The first named —the long famous "fighting forty twa," lost but few men in the East, and scarcely any from the casualties of war, for the events of the campaign pre vented their participating in any of the great struggles save the battle of Alma. The regiment, therefore, is but:little changed in material, and is still the best drilled and finest in our service. Their companies marched past her Majesty with the evenness and solidity of littl3 walls—not a man an inch before or behind the precise lino. In executing this manosuvre they excel in appearance and equal in dis cipline the famous marching of the household troops. Th e . 83th and 77th suffered most severely in the late war, 75 per cent, of the number that left England having been kil led or died of disease. At the battle of Inkerman the 88th, out of 230 men in action, lost 117 men and officers killed and wounded—a grea ter loss in proportion to numb ers than was sustained by any other corps on that bloody day. It was the bayonet charge of the 77th and 88th that re captured the two _English guns, taken by tho Russians 1,, St. 10 5 al St. ID St. 11, 50 al 25 al 12! al 12i a] 20 al St. St. u 5! a] St. 10 64 5, 50 a] 11 a; St. 10 25 10 I al !2111 25 al St 101 St. Lut , it. 1.00 >t. 100 h ali i_oo 20 r; St. ~ •.ts IsU fol 21 I N.] aL 10 2 St. !00 t. tOO t; I al Pin 47 D 0... 34f 92 1 1011 1 pm i 113} 1056 GA 7 S I 2j 26i 7 1151 Iti 134 8 48 4 1 GOODWOOD CIIP.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. SUSPECTED WATCH ROBBEET.--A young man, who gave the name of Samuel Edwardson, was placed at the bar this morning before Mr. Henry, charged on suspi cion of stealing a watch, the property of Mr. Robertson, a gentleman residing in Coleman-street, City. Tile prosecutor stated that last night he was passing along the Strand, near Temple-bar, when the prisoner fell down before the prosecutor exclaiming, "Oh, my thigh, my thigh." He immediately stooped down to assist him up, and afterwards asked him whether he had hurt himself. The prisoner said he had not, and walked on. In a few minutes after he discovered his chain hanging loosely from his waistemt-pocket and his watch gone. He pursued the prisoner, and on overtaking him he accused him of having stolen his watch. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, but feel ing certain the fall was wilfully done, be took the pri soner to the station-house. On arrival there the pri soner gave his address 25, Waterloo -terrace, Stepney 01J-green, but a constable had been to Stepney this morning, and was unable to find such a place, Mr. Henry—What account can you give of yourself The police have been to the address you gave, but no such place could be found. Prisoner—l suppose not, if they have not been. I could find it out. I know nothing of the gentleman's watch, and he does not charge me with stealing it. Mr. Henry (to the prosecutor)--Da you think the fall was accidental or Intentional ? Prosecutor—l think intentional. The prisoner stated at the station-house, when I took him there, that he was going home, but the direction he took after I assisted him up from the ground was towards th e wes t- en d . _ _ Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)— You must give a clearer address than that you have given. I must make some inquiries about you. Prisoner —The gentleman does not charge me with the robbery. He did not see me with his watch or speak - ing to anybody previous to the fall, so I should like to know with what I am charged ? Mr. Henry—On suspicion of stealing the watch. Prisoner—Then lam charged wrongfully. The ad dress I gave is correct. Reference was then made to the "Post-office Direc tory," but no such place as Stepney Old Green could be found. The Magistrate—Then I shall remand you until fur ,her inquiries have been made about you. SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTED MIIRDEE OF A POLICE CONSTABLE.— Daniel. Crawley, a powerful looking fellow, well-known to the police as a suspicious character, lurking about the London Bridge Railway Terminus, was brought before Mr. Combe for final examination, charged with attempt ing to murder John Hade 484 A, by striking him on the head with a large stone under the following circum- stances : The complainant, a very steady and attentive officer, whose head was bandaged up, said that on Wednesday morning, shortly before 1 o'clock, he was on duty near St. Thomas's Hospital, when he heard a disturbance at the door of a public-house, and saw the prisoner pushed out by the landlady. Witness went up to him and told him to go away, when he said he would see him d—d first. Witness told him unless he went away quietly he should take him into custody. The prisoner then left saying " do for you before long." Witness then went round his beat and when in front of the RailwayTerrninus the prisoner came running up to him, saying " Now I'll do for you," at the same time he swung round his hand kerchief to the end of which was fastened a stone, and struck him on the back part of the head so violently that he was nearly stunned. Witness, however, seized hold of him, and after struggling a long time, with the assistance of a young man who was passing, he secured him. Witness then went to the hospital, and bad his wound dressed, and since then he had been under the district surgeon, who said that had the blow been in flicted a little higher, it must have proved fatal. When the prisoner struck him he said that he would murder him, as he had a spite against him. Witness here ex hibited the deadly weapon, consisting of a stone weigh ing half-a-pound, tied in his neckerchief, which he had seen round the prisoner's neck when he was pushed out of the public-house. William Cady, a waiterZat Mr. Wales, Manor House Tavern, Walwortb, said that he was passing along Wellington-street on Wednesday morning, the 23,1, shortly before one o'clock, when ho saw the prisoner rush xt the constable and strike him on the head with a stone ho had tied up in his handkerchief. Witness went up to the officer's assistance, and then he saw the pri soner strike him again, saying, that he would murder him. When the prisoner was overpowered ho threw his handkerchief away. James Fletcher said he was passing along when the - prisoner was strug:giing with last witness and the con stable. He saw him throw away a handkerchief, which witness picked up, and found a stone fastened in the end. The prisoner, who denied having struck the officer as described, was fully committed for trial at the forth• ooming Surrey Assizes, at Guildford. EVACUATION OF THE CRIMEA. (Front a Supplentent to the Gazette of Tuesday Evening.) WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 30. Lord Panmure has received a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his lordship by General Sir Wm. Codrington, : Constantinople, July 16. My Lord,—Finding that all arrangements would be completed for evacuating the Crimea on the 12th inst., I wrote the previous day to the officer in command of the Russian troops, a Colonel of the Gendarmerie, at ILarniesh, that I should be ready to hand over the Dock yard of Sebastopol and the port of Balaklava on that dray. Her Majesty's ship Algiers had entered the port of Balaklava on the 7th inst. ; the 50th Regiment embarked int that ship on the evening of the 11th ; the only troops rornaiuing were one wing of the 50th Regiment, which farmed the guard of the town that night. The following day, the 12th, at one p.m., all the re maining stores acd establishments having been embarked, a company of the 50th was posted out of the town to re ceive the Russian troops, and on their approach marched iixt with the Russian Guard, compo se d a b ou t 50 wonted Cossacks and a similar number of infantry Cos sacks. The usual form of salutes took place, the Russians placed sentries where they wished, and the four com• panies of the 50th marched on board the Algiers. I em barked with my personal staff at the same time. Although the weather was unfavourable we were en abled to quit the harbour of Balaklava that evening. Admiral Sir 11. Stewart and Admiral Freemantle were at anchor outside the harbour ; they weighed, and we all sailed for this place, where I arrived to-day.—l have, &c., W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding. Tito Lord Panmure, &c. JUL :MEE DINNER TO SIR C. M. BURRELL—The forth comm g dinner to Sir C. M. Burrell, Bart., M.P., the father of the House of Commons, which is to be given in W. set Grinstead park ou the 14th August, to cele brate the fiftieth anniversary of the occupation by Sir Charles of a seat in Parliament for the borough of New Shor chain and rape of Brainber, will, we believe, be of a in , ist substantial and extensive character, befitting the imp or taro° and extraordinary nature of the occasion. We t inderstand that it will be a feast worthy of the mica , somewhat similar in character to the entertain ment. given by the Earl of Egremont, in Petworth-park in 18' 20, on the occasion of the election of Burrell and Cum, As, when politics ran high, and upwards of 2,000 perse ,ns sat down t') a bountiful feast. Fat bucks and laaTo ns of beef were roasted outside the tents, and edhb les and driokables of all descriptions were to be had ad 4ibitant. On the forthcoming occasion it is expected th at about 1,000 of the county gentry and farmers will r brticipate in the entertainment. There is no other in si ;lance on record of a member of the House of Commons ccupying the same seat for half a century. Instances t ,re known of members such as Mr. Byng, of Middlesex, (Iv:copying seats for as long a period, but during that time they have not represented one constituency alone, I 'bat have sat for three or tour places. Considering these I .circumstances, we anticipate that the forthcoming dinner will not only be a grateful tribute to a veteran represen Itative, but en evens which will long be remembered in • the annals of the county. , . MEETING OF THE LONDON LITE ASSOCIATION. Yesterday a General Court of the London Life As.sociadi lion was held, Mr. C. Franks in the chair, when there waif a numerous attendance of members to take part in the pro 4 ceeding. The principal questions brought forward was be; relation to the proposed division of 230,0001., part of the , capital of the society, and as the discussion on this topics it was thought would occupy the chief attention, it wash agreed to give it ,consideration before the ordinary busies ness. With the view of rendering the question intelligible it may be-stated that at a special General Court on the 27th of February last, the following resolution was passed by a majority, although strongly opposed by the directors : " That the clauses 92, 93, and 91 of the deed of settlement, and also the order of the General Court passed on the 3d of April, 1344, substituting new and amended clauses in Hera thereof, be varied to the following effect—viz., that the sum of 230,0001. be divided among the several assurers who were members of the society on the 31st day of December last, in proportion to the amount of premiums paid by them respectively, and be paid to them at their option, either by way of bonus in addition to their policies, or in rodeo. don of their premiums, or in cash." Yesterday the directors presented the annex erl report, and it was upon the question of the illegality of the pro. posed arrangement that the debate arose. " Although the Court of Directors were unanimouslyo' opinion that the resolution was illegal, yet they cleenaed it their duty, in deference to the large number of members who had voted for it, to take the opinion of three eminent counsel on the subject. The whole facts of the cage were laid before the Solicitor-General, Mr. Roundell Palmer, and Mr. Dickinson. By the deed of settlement, the Solicitor-General for the time being is specially named as one of the counsel who are to decide disputes re. specting the deed itself, or matter relating to the management or concerns of the society. The opinion of these counsel was received early in April last, and the whole case and opinion were printed and for warded at the time to every member of the association. That opinion, which is short, emphatic, and without re servation, hesitation, or doubt of any kind, is, that the resolution of the 27th of February last is not within the powers conferred on the General Court by the deed of settlement. Late on Friday last the directors received a case in manuscript, and an opinion thereon, by Sir Fitz roy Kelly, Mr. Pelt, and Mr. Waley, differing from the opinion given by the counsel who had been consulted by the directors. Assuming that this second opinion had been as confidently expressed as the first, it seems to the Court of Directors that the General Court should not hesi tate as to the course which they ought to adopt. Three eminent counsel declaring the proposed resolution illegal, and the same number of eminent counsel expressing a con. trary opinion, it would follow that, at all events, the le gality of the proposed low is doubtful, and therefore it would be the height of imprudence for the General Court (legislating for thousands of unrepresented members, any one of whom may dispute the point in the Court of Chancery) to attempt to carry out the resolution. The Court of Directors and the solicitors of the association are still clearly of opinion that the resolution is illegal. The directors also are unanimously of opinion that, were the resolution legal, and were it to be carried out, it would completely paralyse the operations of the society, shake the unfidence of the public in its good faith and stability, and thus greatly diminish, if not entirely destroy, its large and increasing business. The directors have received numerous letters from members of the society, protesting against the resolution as illegal, and also several notices that if the directors attempt to carry it out, bills in equity will be filed to restrain them from so doing. In making this report the directors have assutSed that the statements in the case submitted to Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Refit, and Mr. ,Wiley are correct ; but the directors are prepared, should it become necessary, to point out to the members, that the whole of the case is based on a misunderstanding of the history and rules of the society. The directors, therefore, urgently call oa the meu,bers of the society to support them in opposing a resolution which the Court unanimously believe will greatly injure, if not ruin, the society." The question of order having been settled, after some delay, Mr. CORRIE rose and moved that the resolution for the division should not be confirmed. He said the question raised was one of great importance, not only to the mem bers who were present, hut to all who were interested in the affairs of the society, and he hoped deep considera tion would be given to a proposal involving such momentous consequences. If the suggestion were agreed to, it would create a want of confidence among all classes of policy holders, and, instead of increasing their business, it would tend, he feared, in a contrary di rec ti on . ("H ear, hear, " and cries of "No !") Fe was satisfied it would not create a beneficial influence, and instead of the public having full reliance in the company, it might produce apprehension. The facts of the case as presented to counsel, although they might have been placed in a different form, were in reality the same, and the directors, in pursuing the course they had adopted, only wished to follow the dictates of prudence. ("No, no," " Lear, hear.") The result, if they persisted, would be, that the appropliation of 230,0001. would com pel the directors to reduce the abatement on premium from 70 to 60 per cent., and thus interfere with the future pros pects of the society. The consequences in other respects would be damaging, and besides paralysing business, an appeal to Chancery, it was stated, would be made, which might produce protracted liti ga ti on . (C r i es of? " No, no !") If the clauses of the deed and the order of the Court of 1844 could be interfered with in this manner, what was to prevent parties dividing the whole of the ac cumulated profits ? A motion of that sort might be carried on a subsequent occasion if the present arrangement were acceded to. As it was a very hazardous proceeding he trusted the resolution would not be confirmed. (Dissent, mingled with cheers.) Mr. COSTEKER seconded the non-confirmation of the re solution. Having been insured 23 years, and having, since he became a director, regarded himself as a trustee for very important interests, he could not but view the propo sal as one prejudicial to the society. It was understood that all parties insuring, after paying seven annual pre miums, were admitted to the position of full partners ; but since this arrangement would create difficulties, and probably lead to Chancery proceedings, he was bound in justice to himself and the general interests of tho society to oppose it. (" Hear, hear," " and No, no !") Mr. BAXTER moved an amendment, that the resolution of the 27th of February last be confirmed. He called upon the meeting to disregard the threats with respect to Chancery, or the apprehension attempted to be created as to the prejudicial influence of the division of this money upon the business of the society. (Hear.) The amount proposed to be dealt with would not interfere with the prosperity of the institution, and the question of legal pro ceedings was not likely to be raised. The opinion of counsel in their favour showed that the proceedings of the directors had not been altogether regular, and that the members could call upon them to carry out this division. (Cheers.) What they asked the Court to do was this—and on equitable grounds they were bound to comply with the re quest—having for years charged premiums in excess of the amount that was necessary, finding at the end of a period a large surplus, to return it in the Came p ropor ti on to those who had furnished it. (Applause). The directors them selves admitted the surplus, but they proposed another plan by which they would arrange the business, which was in connection with an abatement of premium. But what would the result of this be ? Why, that those mem bers who were admitted after the date named, if they had only just entered, would participate in the benefits de rived from the accumulated fund. (Hear, hear.) In fact, it would be giving least to those who ought to take most, and giving most to those who ought to take least. With regard to the alleged breach of contract which it was said would take place, there was nothing in the announcements which had issued from the society to justify the assertion. No pledge was held out to per sons insuring except that they should participate in the reduction of premium which their seven years' pay manta would produce. He was sorry that the directors, after ascertaining the strong feeling of the members, should have opposed the resolution, and he might almost say per. tinaciously resisted the wishes of a large majority. (Hear, hear.) As, however, the members had the power to make the division, he hoped they would assert their right, and there was no fear of the question being carried out of that court to any legal tribunal. (Cheers.) Mr. CORRIE having seconded the amendment, A lengthened discussion ensued, Mr. ROGERS, Professor KEY, and others supporting the views of Mr. Baxter and his friends ; and Mr. Young and another proprietor advo cating the policy of the directors. Much confusion, how ever, prevail?d,and there were constant cri es o f " Ques tion !" and ' Divide . A. PROPRIETOR.—I suppose, if the amendment be car ried, the directors will, after such an expression of opinion, deal with the resolution as desired. A VOICE.—They must. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, the directors considered the reso lution was so opposed to the interests of the society that the question could not be decided by a show of hands. It would, no doubt, be taken to the ballot. Another PROPRIETOR asked if, after the distribution of this 230,0001., any further surplus remained as a reserve? The CHAIRMAN said he could only use the word sup posed surplus—for that was what it in reality was—a surplus arising from supposed duration of life. He could not, therefore, answer the question except by stating that any such surplus. depended upon the future payment of the members' premiums. Several Proprietors here tried to address the Court, but were prevented by repeated cries of " Divide, divirl to The CHAIRMAN.—If you are quite resolved not listen further addresses it will be best to divide. v i n the t hof following, February lastforni : b — e 00 " T n T fi h h r a e n a t a e m d the dresolutions then t hieu t a majority of 21.

Two of the gentlemen refused, stating that they should w i s h to exercise an independent judgment, and the discus sion which followed was again of a stormy character. Eventually, the Cheirman intimated that, as far as he was concerned, he should feel inclined to give effect to the re solution, if the ballot were decided iu its favour, and he . had no doubt the directors would do likewise. The three retiring :Erectors, Mr. M. Clark, Mr. G. licdgkinson, and Mr. W. Francis were then re-elected and after mutual explanations the proceedings wore ad journed. REPRMSTATION OF GLAIEORCIANSHIRE.—The Libe rals of Glanorgaushire, having added no fewer than 2,500 voters to the register during the last few years, conceive that they are strong enough to return at least one candidate for the county, and it has been deter mined to contest the county whenever an election shall take place. Mr. H. H. Vivian, M.P. for Truro, is to b the candidate ; and as Sir George Tyler is going to retire, Mr. N. V. Edwards, of Bheola, is to be brought forward on the Conservative side. _~ :GN.
