Soticurou—Francis Moon, Esq., Coleman-street, City. Hoar SECRETARY — Desmond G. Fitzgerald, Esq. Chief Office-7, Princes-street, Cavendish-square, W. A few gentlemen, desirous of carrying out the wish of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, that the Volun teers should possess every facility for attaining efficiency in rifle practice, and for being brigaded with the regular troops, have, after careful consideration of the claims of several sites which were submitted to them, decided in favour of a Piece of land immediately adjoining the Camp at Aldershot, U. combining in an eminent degree the advantages of easy a ccessibility, great salubrity, absolute contiguity to the e xtent army camp in the kingdom, a practically unlimited ixtent of range, com p ar ati ve freedom from danger by stray bullets, and facility of purchase on easy and libral terms. With a view to meet the requirements of Volunteers at int ervals when they have but a few hours to spare , it is fu rther proposed to establish permanent rifle ranges, with Suitable buildings near Wimbledon on the west , an d near "ustead on the ' east ; thus accommodating every district 21the metropolis each of the inte n ded sites being within "eau minutes' ride from London. It is therefore proposed : „That a sum be raised by subscription sufficient not only " Provide a Club House, with one thousand separate cham ere for the Volunteers, a library, swimming, hot and cold v 4 , 111 ,,5, and butts for rifle practice at all ranges up to 1,200 ; but also to purchase the freehold of all the build ;gs, and 100 acres of land at Aldershot ; as well as a suffi teat extent of ground for rifle practice and requisite build ings, near Wimbledon and Wanstead ; the whole to be r geed or walled in, and be vested in trustees for the sole b enefit of the Rifle Volunteers of the United Kingdom. T he above arrangement will afford facilities calculated to Volnote the spirit of emulation now so characteristic of the pitt?.lllnteers. At Wimbledon and Wanstead they can have rifle practice at the ordinary ranges ; while at Alder shat they can be brigaded with the regular troops, and enjoy Au unlimited range for rifle practice, free from dange r ; mapleaxb space, too, will be at their command for artillery aop ' i ,, re tse, and for associating with the cavalry and artille r y ; advantages much insisted upon by the highest autho a„es, and only attainable in connection with large a rm y - ( ` . 1 )8 , such as Aldershot. - etcParatively little is required to set in motion this most bes:rable undertaking, the land at Aldershot be in g offered I t B patriotic owner on extremely favourable terms. Pro teings can be commenced almost immedia tel y , and be ex tended gas the subscriptions are received. 1,433 , the establishment of this Volunteer Camp and Club shec,„any number of Volunteers disposed to spend a day k'arop could have all their material wants supplied "`' convenience and economy—while any number not tficeeding a thousand, to who owing to the distance of eir homes, or any other cause m s, , it might be convenient, have sleeping accommodation at their own Club House freex of expen se . On the other hand, men engaged in busi ,,e ese will have the opportunity after an hour's journey in afternoon of one day of returning upon the next, or of entirely passing the more protracted period of their holidays in pleasurable military and healthful recreation. Alder shot, indeed, indeed, is pronounced by official-statistical returns to the most salubrious locality in England, and, although 14 breezes are considered somewhat trying, its atmospheric 2c fluences have in very many instances been conducive to the restoration of the health of persons whose ailments Were deemed beyond the reach of professional skill. Volunteers from the country districts having occasion to 'visit London, either for pleasure or business, would be en titled to make the Aldershot Club-house their home or head-quarters during their stay, and would thus partici pate, with gentlemen resident near London, in the advan tages provided by the establishment. An important feature of this plan is the economy of money well as time, for although many Volunteers are per eons of independence, and can afford the expenses which are inseparable from isolated movements, there are others to 'whom the advantages offered will be a graceful and accept able boon. Two lines of railway from London adjoin the Selected ground at Aldershot, and will carry the Volunteers at once to the spot in an expeditious manner, as cheaply ;Ind rapidly indeed as they can be taken to many suburban districts ; and a network of railways, connected with the lines referred to, tenders the transit from all parts of Eng land to thi s now famed Government Camp facile and com- Plete. To Wimbledon or Wanstead the journey by railway ca n be performed in a quarter of an hour. As the Volunteer force consists largely of professional ?len and men engaged in business, who are necessarily sub- Ject to sudden demands upon their time, it is intended to establish t e l egrap hi c w i res , connecting the above localities c lv ith Cheapside a n d Regent-circus, whereby gratuitous communications might be forwarded whenever required ; 7 . 1 . 1 d thus a ff or d t o mem bers who might otherwise be de terred from leaving their homes the assurance that any "Tent call upon their attention is capable of instant receipt "4 reply. -,Should the period for real and active service arrive, the v o lunteers will be required to act not as an independent 4 n t cl or as mere guerilla bands, but in conjunction with the ~,,`'neen's troops. It follows obviously, therefore, that those exercising who have enjoyed many previous opportunities of s'e . ,. , rcising in masses with the various arms of the regular will be much more efficient than those whose prac -1;24 experience has been limited to company drilling and v"vate rifle practice. And unless facilities are prov ided for enabling the various rifle corps to exercise with th e troo p s f a'ae line, failures and blunders of vital import ance ma y anticipated, when such inexperienced and untried auxi t4les attempt combined movements with regular s in the - of the enemy. T he moral and physical welfare of the youth of England .rlenld be thus provided for ; military discipline and gen ell,culy habits would be promoted, and country air and T IT exercise ; the whole tending towards the noblest ends, the desire for which is the highest that can occupy the time talents of an Englishman—the capability of protecting jug hearths and homes of those dear to him, and maintain 41g the envied prestige of his Queen and country. . 1 , 41 suggesting that the advantages above enumerate d ould be secured to Volunteers by subscription, the Corn • i t L i ttee feel assured that their proposal will be regarded, by to P,ay a well-deserved, timely, and graceful tribute to the iiwule devotion of the Volunteers, who, by their prompt and ccided action, have, within the limited period of two years, restored the nation, mistrustful of its defences, to a state of confidence and security. th i t,is proposed to offer a remiu for the best Essay on th"' Volunteer Movem p ent, to m publish it with a list of „ e ,contributors to the " Nation's Gift," and to forward to iteu subscriber a presentation copy, with a statement of amount and appropriation of the Fund. ar ,' o TE.—The above programme having been submitted to ' 4 " gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood of the pro -01 Camp, they at once liberally undertook to provide ~.us for the erection of a church on ground adjacent, pre by one of them for that special purpose.

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.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. '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 Sibs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Complainant further observed that the prisoner had pawned hundreds of pounds worth of his prp perty, and that his solicitor had in his possession a heap of pawn tickets referring to property she had pledged belonging to him (complainant). He had filed a petition in the Divorce Court, v;hieh will come on for hearing during the next term. He al lows her 255. a week. He knows nothing about the infant she has in her arms. The ,prison er remarked that she wanted to see her children. Mr. Norton—You must apply to the judge of the Divorce Court if you wish to see your children. 1 cannot allow you to go to your husband and cause the annoyance you do, and unless you promise me that you will not go to your husband's house again I must hold you to bail. Complainant said he should not be safe unless the prisoner tendered good bail not to repeat the offence. She was held to bail in two sureties of £2O each to keep the peace towards her husband. SOUTHWARK.—EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD BY MEANS OF A WORTHLESS BANI, NOTE. —Solomon Bliss, a respectable-looking young GFr- Irian, describe on the charge sheet as a tailor, resid ing: in Trinity-lane, City, was placed at the bar before Mr Comb e , charged with being concerned with ,. another not in custody in defrauding Mr. C. Kotyenswarsy, a beer-seller, of Elt ham-street, Dover-road, of £lO by utte r i ng t o hi m a bank note for £lO of theyindsor and Eton Bank, which has not been in existence for many years. The prosecutor, a German, said that he kept the Garibaldi beer-house. Eltham-street, Dover-road. On Saturday evening last, about nine, a man who represented himself to be the captain of a ship, entered his shop and called for ale and cigars. A minute or two afterwards the prisoner came in and joined in conversation with the captain, who ordered two dozen and a half cigars, and treated them all with ale. The prisoner put a dozen of the cigars in his pocket, and after some conversation together the captain took a pocket-book from his side pocket and pulled out a number of bank notes, and after selecting one ho handed it to witness, say ing that he had no smaller change, and he must take the reckoning out of it. Witness perceived that it was a £lO note on the Windsor and Eton Bank, and believing it to be genuine, he handed the cap tain ten sovereigns, from one of which he took the reckoning, amounting to Bs. The captain put the nine sovereigns and 12s. in his pocket, and they had some more ale. A few minutes after that the captain pulled out another bank note, and re quested him to change that also. Witness told him he could not change that, and he could not want it, as he had just given him gold and silver. The cap tain put the note back and handed the pocket-book to the prisoner, who opened it, took two of the notes out, and put them into his waistcoat pocket. He then returned the pocket-book to the captain, who left the shop followed by the prisoner. Shortly after that a tradesman, residing in the neighbour hood, came into his shop and witness showed him the note he had just taken. He at once pronounced it to be worthless, as the bank had not been in exis tence for many years. He then communicated with the police, and on Sunday evening the prisoner was apprehended. He had not been able to trace the captain. Mr. Binns here handed the bank note to his wor ship for his worship's inspection. It purported to be issued by the Windsor and Eton Bank, and was dated the 21st of Aug., 1860. He (Mr. Binns) was informed that that bank stopped upwards of 30 years ago, and that the date had been altered. Mr. Combe said that there could be no doubt of that, but he must have evidence to show that such a bank was not now in existence. _ _ Mr. H. Adams, provision merchant, of the Dover road, proved that the note was worthless, the bank having failed many years ago. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner what answer he hall to make to the charge ? He replied that he was as innocent as a baby, and if his worship would allow him he would tell him all he knew about the transaction. He said that he was a tailor, and took a coat home to the prosecutor's house on Saturday evening. He there saw a man who called himself a captain, and who treated him and the landlord to ale and cigars. When the captain gave the latter the bank note, he said to him, in German, " Look out and sez if it is right." Mr. Combe asked the prosecutor whether there was any truth in that ? He replied that the prisoner did take hold of the note before he changed it, but he said " That it was all right." He was certain the prisoner knew all about the fraud. . _ _ The prisoner denied that assertion ; he never saw the other man before, and all he partook of was the ale and cigars. He was well known to Messrs. Broadhurst and Russell, the auctioneers—his uncle being connected with the firm. Mr. Parker, who stated himself to be an eating house keeper in Trinity-lane, City, here stepped for ward, and said the prisoner was a highly respect able young man, and had lodged in his house more than 12 months. He would be answerable for him to any amount, as he was sure he would not have been connected with such a fraudulent transaction. Mr. Combe observed that it was a very singular . . affair, and he should like to know something - more about the parties. Under these circumstances he should adjourn the case until 3 o'clock, to give the prisoner an opportunity of producing evidence in his favour. A short time before his worship quitted the bench Mr. W. Edwin attended on behalf of the prisoner, and said that he had not had time to obtain wit nesses for his client, but he was assured by him that he had nothing to do with the so-called captain or the fraud, and denied having taken anything from the pocket-book, as stated by the prosecutor. The latter said he distinctly saw him take out one or two notes and put them in his waistcoat -pocket; and no doubt he should be able to prove their con nection. Mr. Combe considered there were circumstances of great suspicion as to the prisoner's conduct ; therefore he should remand him. Mr. Edwin asked h is worship to accept Mr. Parker's bail for his appearance. Mr. Combe refused to accept bail, consequently the prisoner was conveyed to gaol in the van. WESTMINSTER.—THE CHARG E OF SHOPLIFT ING AGAINST A LADY.—Miss Elizabeth Hawkins, aged 22, the daughter of an independent gentleman residing in Broom-lane, Fulham, was finally exa mined charged with stealing a roll of ribbon, value 65., from the shop of Mr. Burletson, 198, King's road, Chelsea. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Lewis, of Marl borough-street, appeared for the accused. It appeared from the evidence of James Joseph Horne, shopman, that the prisoner, on the 6th inst., took some pieces of floss silk to Mr. Burletson to procure ribbon to match, that she kept a roll of 30 yards in her hand, and drawing it gradually along the counter under her cloak, wrappe d i t i n a pi ece of paper with the pattern s o f fl oss s ilk, an d put it in,▪ her pocket. Her purchases, amounting to 11d., were then wrapped up by the shopman, who having i▪ nformed his master what he had seen, asked pri soner to produce the p arce l s h e h a d p u t in her pocket, which she willingly did, and unfolding it, disclosed the ribbon, upon which she said it was a mistake, and that she did not know how it came there. Mr. Sleigh, adverting to a remark made by Mr. Arnold, on the first examination, to Mr. Lewis, that he did not consider himself justified in with holding the case from a jury, and further, to the circumstance that the depositions had no t been pre pared for the prisoner's committal , said that he was not surprised that the magistrate should have come of to the determination he had upon su ch a state facts as those detailed i n the evidence , which were not only uncontradicte d but incapable ofcontradic tion; but he had little doubt that after the m duty to advanc e, he would save the lady t r ate had heard what s (Mr. Sleigh's) it would be his be fore him the pain ful and degrading ordeal of a tria' by jury. That the ribbon was taken by her an( put into her pocket there could be no doubt. Bin thequestion for the magistrate's consideration would be, whether she had at the time of taking it a felonious intent; and her position, means, and high character all irresistibly led to a different con clusion. She was the daughter of a highly re spectable man, and anizlngst those now in attend ance to vouch for her extreme propriety of conduct were the vicar and curate of the parish. The g rea t es t and wealthiest members of soc i ety were frequently kn3wn to suffer from fits of mental abstraction, from treachery of memory, and he would s h ow by medical and other testimony that su c h was an d had been for a length of time the condition of this young lady ; her mental power while in th e pros ecutor s s h o p was absorbed in matching the silk, and her a b s t rac tion of intellect led her t o d o what she was perfectly unconscious of. Mr. Arnold questioned whether, in sitting to con- Lei .nary inquiry, he should try the case. Mr.• ,leigh urged with great force, that the first aestion in the inquiry was whether the accused l`fiakaaisQ3 intent ; and put it that, were Aestion one of identity, the magistrate would - dive evidence to guide his judgment. Mr. Arnold having consented to hear The ere 'losses for the defence, Dr. Patrick Martin, of 33, Tharlowesquare, said that about seven years ago, and for two years, the prisoner was under hi s care . H e h ear d s h e h a d suf fered severely from a scald, and he observed a slow ness and dullness of intellect which her derange ment of health did not account for. She was afflicted with-abstraction of mind. There was a dullness, slowness, and abstraction of manner which 'led her to do things from inadvertence. It was so manifest that he pointed out to her mother the necessity of exercising great watchfulness and care over her. Mr. Alfred Kirkup, another medical gentleman having had great experience of lunatic cases, said that the accused had always exhibited me n t a l apathy. There was great abstraction and want of power in concentrating her mind. The malady did not amount to imbecility. There were many per sons who did ridiculous acts uaconsciously, without being imbecile or insane. She was an amiable, re tiring, modest, diffident girl, whom one would never imagine had courage enough to do a dishonest act, even if such a disposition existed. Miss Kate Hawkins, an elder sister of the ac cused, said she was so exceedingly forgetful and absent that the family could never trust her with a parcel or a message. She often left parcels in omnibuses; and recently, at Swan and Edgar's, walked with a parcel to the door, and then remembering that it was not hers, returned it to the place from which she had taken it. A short time ago she went into an omnibus without any money in her pocket. Mr. and Mrs. Bidgood, who had known the ac cused many years, said that she had always borne the character of being dull, moody, abstracted, and dreamy, thinking of one thing, and doing another. The Rev. Wm. Edward Batty, curate of Fulham, slid he had known the accused from 12 or 13 years of age, and her character was perfectly unblemished. Her eldest sister had taken charge of a parish cha rity, which gave him occasion to call at the house; he observed an awkwardness and peculiarity of manner obviously arising from dullness of intellect. The Rev. Robert George Baker, vicar of Fulham, proved that her character had been irreproachable. Mr. William Admiral Hawkins, the accused's father, said she had always been wandering in mind. Her abstraction and treachery of memory had been commonly observed by her family. Her sisters had made up their minds not to go out with her to any shop, as they could not get her to deter mine what she wanted. Mr. Arnold said he had adopted a very unusual course in this case, but he hoped he had done right. He thought that if the facts he had heard were laid before a grand jury —which they could not be, they would naturally impart so much doubt as to the intention with which she took the ribbon, that there would be no doubt of their ignoring the bill against her, and he therefore considered himself perfectly justified in discharging her; but he thought, being aware, as her family were, of her infirmity, they should not let her go out to shops alone, as she was likely to incur disgrace, and give much trouble by her conduct. He begged, in conclusion, to observe that the shopkeeper had been perfectly justified in giving her in charge. The decision was greeted with much applause by a crowded auditory. HAMMERSMITH.—LAMENTABLE DEATH OF A SON IN A STRUGGLE WITH HIS FATHER.-Mr. Charles Routledge, a gentlemanly-looking, iniddle aged man, was placed in the dock before Mr.lngham charged on suspicion of causing the death of his son, Charles Routledge, aged 17 years, in a scuffle, at his residence, 13, Elgin-crescent, Notting-hill. Mr. Humphrey, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Hepburn, of the T division, stated that about a quarter before 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty at the Notting-hill Police Station, when he received intormation that a murder had been committed at No. 13, Elgin-crescent. He im mediately proceeded to the spot, and upon entering the house he found the son of the prisoner lying dead on a sofa in the drawing-room. The prisoner stated that it was a most lamentable affair, and he was truly sorry for his poor dear boy, but what else could he do under the circumstances. He further stated that his son fenced with him, and put himself in a fighting attitude, and he caught hold of him to prevent him striking him, when the deceased said, " I shall have a fit," and he immediately fell into his arms. Witness sent for Dr. Coghlan, who had becn there previously, and he examined the body, , bat could find no marks of violence. Mr. G. M. R. Robertshaw, a gentleman residing at No. 14, Elgin-crescent, said he was entering his house about 10 minutes to 9 o'clock on Saturday night, when he heard a violent altercation in the passage of the prisoner's house. He listened at the door for a moment, and he heard the voices of the prisoner and his son. He also heard a scuffling noise, and the son said, " I will not have such lan guage used to me ;" and the prisoner said, " You rascal, will you give in?" The prisoner—Did you hear that distinctly ? Witness—l did. I heard Mrs. Routledge's voice say, "Let him alone." I immediately knocked at the door, and it was opened by Miss Rontledge. Mr. Ingham--You say that you heard a scuffle. Was it after the words were used ? Witness—lt was while the words were being used. When the door was opened I saw the son lying on the floor of the passage. The mother was supporting his head, and the father was behind the door. He said, "Be quiet, my son is in a fit." The daughter said, " Pray send for a doctor, Mr. Robertshaw." Mrs. Routledge replied to the ob servations of the prisoner, and said, " You worried him into it by your violence." I ran for the doctor and brought Dr. Coghlan. Mr. Ingham—Did the prisoner say anything P Witness—Nothing beyond what I have stated. Mr. Ingham—Did he appear sober ? Witness—Quite. Mr. Humphreys—Did he appear distressed in mind ? Witness—He appeared more to be trying to ex culpate himself than exhibiting signs of distress. Elizabeth Routledge, sister of the deceased, was next examined. She appeared very much affected and was allowed a seat in the witness-box. She said that her brother had been in the house some time before the unfortunate occurrence. About tea time l e h ha e avde l lay down e dw cold. o H on room, as sr t the sofa h s fi o ed f r a geert i d n the e ordered him dining-room, to ogr get up "a w n a dh s e always ordering him away.

After a time the deceased went to the passage for his coat, and the prisoner followed him. She heard her father say, " Get out of the way ; either do one thing or the other ; go out or stay in. You are like a stupid cat that requires to be knocked out of the way." She heard her brother give some answer, as, "I am not in your way." The p risoner returned to the dining-room, and she heard her brother walk slowly towards the door, as if he was going out. The prisoner rushed out and attacked him. She heard her father call him a great many bad names. She heard her brother say, " Call out at the back for the police, like mad. She also heard him say, " Will no one go for the police .n She then heard him say, " I am going to have a fit." She ran out and saw her brother in her father's arms. questions s fter w t h a e r witnessds and ws thataaisd s t hu h be a in t e ec h tv he brother spoke In answer again.died She did not hear t h e noise of any between s to hort ly e b p l p s . t Some fits. y The a h r e s a l a g s o t h e e h r e brotherd was seven and eight years ago.

In September last, it appeared, she came to France from England, and obtained a place as companion to a wealthy English lady named Alban, residing at Honfleur. On the 20th Feb. circumstances wblich led to the belief that she had been delivered of a clad were remarked, and on searching her room the dead body of a female infant, with two stabs in the throat, we ,s found in a large box.

RICHARD MOON, Chairman. J. P. BROWN WESTHEAD, Deputy-Chairman. CHAS. E. STEWART, Secretary. Offices, Euston Station, London.: SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY. Although the room was opened on Saturday, in order to afford an opportunity for collecting the outstanding Good wood accounts, and for the Brighton settling, yet, from the many "balance-sheets" which were still displayed, it was evitlent that the business of paying and receiving was far from concluded. Complaints of the tardiness with which the Goodwood and other accounts have been " squared'' were almost general, and it is to be hoped that next year the original Goodwood settling day—the Monday after the racss—will be restored. The inconvenience which has been experienced by " appropriating" it to Lowes races has ex cited much wellfounded dissatisfaction. To-day several of the principal bookmakers were absent, having departed for Wolverhampton, whilst many "gentlemen speculators" were off to the moors. Business, therefore, made little pro gress. Indeed, the leading topic of conversation through out the afternoon was the unsatisfactory nature of the Goodwood settling. The following scanty list of quotations comprises all the business transacted : EBOR HANDICAP. 6to 1 agst Virgilius (taken and offered) ST.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Donna del Lago, 4to 1 agst Queen of Spain, 6 to 1 each agst Paroquet and Equator. A fine start was seen, as they all, with the exception of two, came away abreast. Paroquet, with Queen of Spain, Commander, and Donna del Lago, soon took a slight lead, and came away in front; opposite the saddling enclosure they were joined by Forester, and the four ran a good race in, Lord Stamford's filly winning by half a length, a length dividing the second and third and this d and fourth.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-YESTERDAY, We did not see anything done on the St. Leger, and this being the day for the declaration of acceptances for the Great Ebor Handicap, there were very few disposed to do business on that event. 6to 1 was offered agst Virgilius, and an offer was made to take 7 to 1; 100 to 8 was taken against Stockade, and 100 to 7 about Lady Trespass; but, upon the whole, there was very little done.

An exciting race occurred yesterday for £lO a-side be tween two landsmen from Putney to Chiswick. The com petitors were Charles May, of the Arundel Alliance Rowing Club, and Walter Shipway, of the South London Rowing Club, both young men, who had trained at Salter's, Wands worth. Shipway had the best place, and took a slight lead, which he soon increased to twojengths. At the Point, however, May was gradually gaining on him until they passed the Crab Tree ; here Sliipway took his opponent's water, and May presently, in an attempt to regain it, rowed on to his antagonist's scull. Shipw•ay rowed away, and came in first, winning by the referee's decision. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860. The success of the Company, even in ite earliest years, received the marked atten ion, 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 EXCEED the Entire Life Pre miums for the EIGHT YEARS ending 1852. " Purcha4e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the similar receipts 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." FIRE BRANCH. "The Fire Branch has certain 'y shown no exhaustion dur 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 £22,977 19e. Ild., 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 -.need by the enormous sum of £66,829 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 per 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 23 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, 10d., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. 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 that the Royal Insurance Company had published late in the last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and Liabilities 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 doinc , 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."

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Joseph Browne, were counsel for the defendant. The cause was commenced on Saturday, and ad journed until; yesterday. The plaintiff carries on the business of a butcher at Epsom, and the de- fendent is a medical gentleman living at the same place, in extensive practice, and who it ap peared, was also medical officer to the Royal Medical Benevolent College at Epsom, an institu tion appropriated to the reception of the children of decayed members of the medical profession, and others, and generally averaging about 150 pupils. The Plaintiff, it appeared, had obtained the con tract to supply the college with meat, and the _ . slander complained of consisted in a statement made by the defendant to Mr. Gibbs, the steward of the establishment, which was to the effect that the plaintiff supplied the establishment with exceed ingly bad meat, and that " he bought his legs of mutton by the yard, and was almost hooted from the market in consequence of the description of meat he was in the habit of purchasing." The steward, it appeared, expressed his opinion that the meat supplied by the plaintiff was exceedingly good and the plaintiff' himself was called as a witness, and he swore that there was no truth in the aliega- tions that he had supplied bad meat to the college, and asserted that the whole of it was according to his contract. It should be explained that the de fendant was not alleged to have made the state ment complained of, of his own knowledge, but he merely stated that the fact had been reported to him, and he therefore, having regard to his position in connection with the establi - shment, felt it his duty to mention the matter in order that it might • et up bee defence s to this action was, that the statement complained of was a privileged commu nication, and the defendant in his evidence stated that he was informed by a gentleman named Steele who was a governor of this college, that he had heard that the meat supplied to this establishment was not according to the contract, the communica tion being made in the exact terms in which he afterwards stated to the steward, and he felt it his duty to mention the subject in order that some change might be made if the complaint was well founded. He also said that he was the more induced to take this step from the fact that there had been a few cases of illness among the boys, which he could not account for otherwise than by the meat that had been supplied to them not being so good as it ought to have been, but he at the same time explained that he did not suggest that the meat was in itself bad or unwhole some, but that it was rough and coarse, and these boys being delicate were unable to eat it. Mr. Steele, the gentleman referred to, confirmed the statement made by the defendant. Mr. Chambers submitted to the court, at the close of the case for the plaintiff that there was no evi° dence to go to the Jury, and that the defendant in his position as medical officer of the establishment in question was perfectly justified in bringing such a matter before the proper authorities of the insti tution. Mr. Justice Williams said he was of opinion that the objection was a good one, but in order to ob viate further expense he would take the opinion of the jury upon the question of malice; and he would also, if he should turn out to be dbrong upon the point of privileged communication, ask them what amount of damages they considered the plaintiff, under the circumstances, was entitled to. The jury, on this result, expressed an opinion that no malice had been established on the part of the defendant, and they assessed the damages of the plaintiff at 40s. Mr. Justice Williams then said that he should give the defendant leave to move to enter a verdict in his favour, if the court above should think that he was right in regarding the statement complained of as a privileged communication. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) TYACK V. RUSSEN. This was an action to recover the sum of £3 10s., the value of a suit of clothes belonging to the plain tiff, which it was alleged were spoiled through the negligence of the servant of the defendant. Mr. Burnard was counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant was represented by Mr. Joyce. The plaintiff in this action, it appeared, was a journeyman tailor, and the defendant is a carrier between Croydon and London, and according to the case for the plaintiff he was passing by the Elephant and Castle, at Newington, on the evening of the Ist of May, when a man in the service of the defendant was in the act of carrying a vessel containing nitric acid from one of his carts to another, and in so doing he carelessly struck against the shaft of one of the vehicles, which broke the vessel and sprinkled its contents over the clothes of the plaintiff, and damaged them to the extent mentioned. A London attorney it appeared was employed to write to the defendant to ask for compensation, and the reply he received from him was that he must be insane to make such an applibation, and he (defendant) would be equally so if he paid any attention to it, and the attorney therefore was at liberty to take any pro ceedings he pleased in reference to the matter. The plaintiff endeavoured to show that there had been some negligence on the part of the man who removed the acid, but it clearly appeared in the course of the case that the vessel had exploded quite accidentally, and that the plaintiff had sustained the damage tg his clothes by rushing in among the crowd to see what had happened. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CROFT V. STEVENS.—The letter of the solicitors to the plaintiff in this cause has been referred to the reporter, who states in reply that the report was correct in every particular, and that nothing whatever was omitted that in any way had refer ence to the question at issue between the parties. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCESTER, Aug. 12. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) MURDER.—Catherine Evans was indicted for the wilful murder of Matilda Olive, at Bristol, in May last. The prisoner, on being arraigned, pleaded guilty to the charge. She was pressed to withdraw the plea, and to plead not guilty, but she refused, say ing, " I am guilty of murder before God, and ought to suffer death. I hope I shall suffer the penalty." His Lordship directed that the case should stand over until next day, and that the gaoler at Bristol, in which prison she had been confined, should be sent for in the meantime. He also directed that the plea should be taken as not given in the meantime. She will therefore be brought up to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 12. L AMBETH.—A CASE FOR THEDIVORCE COURT. —Mrs. Rosina S. Miller, with an infant in her arms, the wife of Mr. John A. Miller, leather seller, 7, Walworth-place, Walworth-road, was charged be fore the Hon. G. C. Norton with causing a disturb ance, on Saturday night last, at his residence in the Walworth-road. The `complainant stated that, about 10 months ago, he separated from his wife. He was forced to do so in consequence of her bad habits. She has since frequently come to his house between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning, when under the influence of liquor, and while in that state has disturbed him by knocking at his door. In answer to Mr. Norton, Complainant said that he had five children, who were living with him. The last time the prisoner called was on Saturday, when she caused a crowd to assemble in the street, to whom she made a state-
