The Lords of the Admiralty, in their steam yacht Osborne, Ma-ter Commander G. H. K. Bower, were at Glengariff on the 10th inst. They had then visited Alderney, Cherbourg, Jersey, Plymouth, Queenstown, 1 - rehaveo, and Glengariff ; they were to lease on Men :lay for Queenstown, and leave there about the er d of the week for Kingstown. Sir Charles Wood, the First Lord, and family, left the Osborne on Sunday morning for the Lakes of Killarney, and was to rejoin the vessel at Queenstown yesterday, where the Board intended to give a dinner to the beads of departments, &c. The Osborne took her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington, 130 (Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir R. S. Dundee), and Conqueror, 101, and a variety of gut - . mats with her from Queenstown to Glengariff and tried rate of steam ing ; Osborne took the lead and kept it, the Conqueror beating the Duke, a ft er a f our hours ' trial, at about the rate of a mile an hour. The squadron that accompanied the Admiralty were at anchor at 13erehaven on Sunday, and were to leave on Monday for Queenstown. Yesterday afternoon the whole of the Royal Sappers and Miners at their head-quarters, Chatham, proceeded to their practice-ground, near Chatham lines, for the purpose of making the necessary preparations and com mencing the conetruction of the field works for the grand review and siege operations which are shortly to take place at Chatham on an extended scale. An interesting ceremony was witnessed at the Marine Barracks, Chatham, yesterday morning —that of the presentation of the cross of the Legion of Honour, which bad been awarded by the Emperor of the French to Major G. B. Rodney, and Captain D. Blyth, of the Chatham division, for distinguished conduct. during the late war. Major Rodney and Captain Blyth are the only officers of the Chatham division of Royal Marines who have been decorated with this honour. The Royal George 102, screw steam-ship, Captain Robert S. Robinson, arrived at Sherness yesterday at 9 a.m. from the Black Sea, last from Portsmouth. She has taken up harbour moorings preparatory to her being stripped and paid off. It is not yet known whether she is to be placed in the first-class steam reserve —retaining all her old stowage with shot cables, &c., or to be tho roughly stripped and return all stores.. On her passage home she put into Brest for coals. The French autho rities received the officers most cordially, throwing all their clubs and public places of,amusernent open to them, and expressed their sincere regret that their short stay prevented them from giving them such a reoeption as they could have desired, they having anticipated the pleasure of inviting them to a ball, at which the princi pal persons of Brest would have been present. The gallant Colonel Waddy, and the officers of the 50th Regiment, participated in the hospitality of our noble allies. Captain Robinson, immediately after the ship was coaled, carried out his instructions by making the best of his way to Portsmouth to land the troops who had been'committed to his care. The greatest cordiality prevailed on the passage home between the 82d Regi ment and the first wing of, the 50th, and the officers of the Royal George. On their arrival at Portsmouth the 'officers of the two regiments entertained the officers of the Royal George at dinner at the Portland Motel, wheie great hilarity and good humour prevailed between the officers of the two services. Oa the troops disembark ing their bands played their most favourite airs, and on leaving the ship they gave three hearty cheers, which were responded to by the officers, sailors, and marines of the Royal George. To the credit of sailors and sol diers, in a ship filled with troops, the greatest harmony existed between them, and they each vied with the other to make themselves and others happy as far as space would allow them. The middle deck was appropriated to the troops, the ship's company occupying the other decks, the spacious wardroom giving dining accommo dation for 50 officers. The Royal George has steamed 5,600 miles on an average consumption of 36 tons of coals per 24 hours, giving an average speed of 7 . 5 knots per hour, her engines making 50 revolutions per minute, with an average pressure of 151 b. on the square inch, the engines working expansively. The present condi tion of the machinery is such that she could, if re quired, be ready for sea in 24 hours. The Banshee, 2, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieute nant-Commander John W. Pike, from the Mediterra nean (last from Portsmouth) passed the Nore at 9 e.tr. yesterday, having been signalled from Sheerness to pro- I ceed to Woolwich. ' Captain Glanville's company, Royal Artillery, under command, pro. tem., of Major Burt, was yesterday en gaged at Sheerness at shell target practice. The target was placed out towards the Nore--1,500 yards distant —and such was the precision of firing, that every shell burst immediately over the target, few of them either varied to the right or left. Great praise is due to the non-commissioned officers for their constant attention in training the newly-raised men under their instruction. The Colonel-Commandment, P. V. England, yester day on parade pre- ented to Corporal James Heath, of the 2d Company of the 12th Battalion, and Bombardier William Todd, of the Bth Company of the llth Batta lion, the medal and riband of the order of the French Legion of Honour, for their distinguished conduct be fore the enemy during the late war, The gallant colonel addressed them appropriately on the presentation, with which the brave fellows seemed deeply impressed. The 13th Light Dragoons have received a letter of readiness for immediate departure from Cork, it is understood, to Cahhe The .9th expect to be made up to their full strength (1,200 rank and file) by volunteers from the line. 700 are wanted to make up the strength of the regiment. The follosing appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty ; Commander F. A. Cadlip, to the Fisgard ; Daniel Mg). lago, master, to the Algiers ; George H. Apple ton, paymaster, to the Centaur ' • William T. Wilson, surgeon, to the Hec a t e ; Thomas Beaumont, acting as sistant-surgeon, to the Siren ; A. Jacob, midshipman, to the Princess Royal.

The 'export to the end of the season will consist of the various descriptions of fellmongers' slipe, handwashed; and scoured. The quotations have been as follows : (Front the Melbourne Argus of May 24 ) There has been scarcely a breath stirring in our political atmosphere since the date of our last sum mary. Hero and there a few candidates for the new Parliament have straggled into the fielcl,.blow ing their individual trumpets, and setting forth in their addresses the independence of their severa spirits, and the liberality of their several - views. But beyond this, and a little private canvassing, the electioneering business has not yet gone, and electioneering is the only important political busi ness at present on the tapis. Among the most noticeable non-official candi date; that have yet come forward is Mr. .Gavan Duffy, who, while the subscription to qualify him is Slowly filling up, has been addressing the elec tors of Warruambool in a speech much less discreet thin those which he has hithsrto made in Austra- Hai, He may be right in denouncing the past ex travaganceand mismanagement of the Government, and in ascribing to these causes much loss to our reputation both in Europe and America ; but in the language he uses upon this subject there is more of the demagogue stump orator styl e th an we have previously dtected in him since his arrival. There are in this country few social barriers to prevent his genius from having full scope, or par tially to justify hiro in exciting a people'that he is not permitted to guide. Here he has ample oppor- Aunity to do his best, both as to word and action, and he should disdain all clap-trap art—all pan dering to that too prevalent taste which relishes keen sarcasm and brilliantly -expressed censure more than justly-balanced observation and discri minating criticism. Madame Anna Bishop made her first appearance at Coppin's Olympic on the evening of the 13th inst., and achieved an unqualified success, which is all the more honourable to her talent from the fact of her immediately succeeding so great a favourite as Miss Hayes. The position obtained by Madame Bishop in the public estimation is daily becoming more firmly consolidated, and her style of ballad singing is such as to call forth more enthusiastic demonstrations of delight than have been wit nessed for some time past in a colonial theatre. On Tuesday last her vocal entertainment concluded with the spirit-stirring " Marseillaise ;" Madame Bishop descending from the clouds as the Goddess of Liberty; and grasping the tricoloured flag. The vocalist's animated action, aided possibly by the old associations connected with this revolutionary hymn, inflamed the enthusiasm of the audience to a very high pitch. The "Bravos !" and cries of "Encore !" swelled into a sort of vocal hurricane for the few minutes that the curtain remained down ; and when it rose again and discovered the vocalist garbed as Britannia, with trident, and shield emblazoned with the national cross of Eng land, the scene became quite exciting. Advancing to the footlights Madame's clear and flute-like voice pealed out the National Anthem, the au dience rising en masse, and appearing to participate in the animation of the singer. On the fall of the curtain a storm of plaudits again broke forth, and on Madame Bishop's appearing before the curtain the whole house rose at her, hats and handker chiefs were waved, and the hurrahs of the excited audience offered the strongest possible testimony to the increasing popularity of the vocalist. Mr. Brooke is fulfilling a starring engagement at Sandhurst and Castlemaiue, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Heir, and the critical notices which ap pear in the various local journals, while they•testify to this versatile actor's power and popularity, dis play on the part of the conductors of the provincial . press such au amount of acumen and ability as re flect great credit on colonial journalism.- GOLD.—The last four weeks' receipts by the several escorts exhibit a considerable falling off ; but there is n o d ou bt th a t i n consequence o the comparatively low price which has prevailed of late —3l. 16s. 6d.—there is an accumulation at the several camps.

PP Ounces. 38,686 60,500 35,493 51,214 The following are further official announce. ments : • LEGISLATIVB COUNIIIL—His Excellency the Governor- General, with the advice of the Eimer tive,Counnil, ban neen pleased to appoint his Honour Sir Alfred Stephen, Knight, to he President of the Legislative Council of New Sduth Wales. His Excellency the Governor-General directs it to be notified that he has, with the advice of the Executive Council, in her Majesty's name, summoned to the first Legislative Council, by writs of summons under the Great Seal of the colony, the following gentlemen, in addition to those named in his Excellency's proclama tion of the 13th inst., viz.:— Alexander Bushby. of Cassilis, Esq. Joseph Docker, of Thornthwaite, near Scone, Esq. George Fitzgerald, of Springfield, Darlinghurst, Esq. George Hill, of Sydney, Lg. David Jones, of Sydney, Esq. NE* eoxrr -. YDNEY, May 20.—The operations of the Sydney Miht still progress, and the most mAnguine anticipa tions of its promoters hava been realised. It is rather singular, however, that, notwithstanding it has been now in existence for twelve months, the Legislature of Victoria and the other adjoining colonies still refuse to acknoWledge our sovereign as a legal tender. In the former place a duty is not only charged on the export of gold dust at the rate of 2s. 6d. per ounce, but when it returns coined by the Sydney Mint, it is also liable to an import duty of 2s. 6d. per ounce. This double taxation, which has the appearance of a prohibi tion, has of course prevented a considerable quan tity of gold dust being sent from that colony to our Mint for the purpose of coinage. The Sydney. Mint was opened on the 14th of May, 1855, but did not commence issuing coin until the first week in June. The gold coin issued from that period to the end of December, 1855, in sovereigns and half-sovereigns, amounted to 512,5001., and the revenue realised was 5,4071. The total quantity, of gold dust received during the present year is 99,202 ozs., and the amount of coin issued during the same period is 644,5001. To this add 512,500/. 2 the amount of coin issued by the Mint from the 14th of May, 1855, to the end of December, 1855, and we find that during the first year of the Mint's existence no less a sum than 1,157,0001. in coin has been circulated by the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint. The amount of revenue that has been rea lised during the year would, at 1 per cent., give 11,570/. 185,897 Received sines January 1 ... 1,147,934 The quantity shipped to the 17th was 1,205,837 oz., value 4,823,3481. I cannot give the shipments of the week, but, as the Wahner Castle did not take a large quantity, shippers being disposed to wait for the Royal Charter, it will no doubt elevate the last figure to more than 1,000,0001. per month. GOLD IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. The Gazette, of the 25th April, alluding to the prospecting for gold, which it seems has been car ried on for some time in certain parts 'of Western Australia, says :—Publie interest during the past week has been entirely centred in canvassing the probability of gold being discovered in paying quantities, which has been greatly increased by the finding by Mr. H. Davis, of the Canning, of a beau tiful specimen of auriferous quartz, somewhere near Kelmscott, and which he brought to Perth on Sa turday last. It is altogether different from that brought in by Chipper, and we hear exactly re sembles that found i n Victoria ; it is very rich in appearance, and is said to be plentiful, but the exact locality Mr. Davis very prdperly declines pointing out until after the sowing season. As might have been expected, this second discovery, and at a place so near Perth and Ftee,nantle, has caused a greater degree of interest than before existed ; but still there appears to be no great ex citement or eagerness upon the part of the public to visit or prospect the locality, although no doubt is entertained as to the fact being as Mr. Davis has reported. No one appears impatient to have the value of the late discovery tested, and among even the returned diggers from Victoria two only have gone out who proceeded with Chipper on Saturday last. We hope this moderation on the part of the people will continue, and that the wise resolution of Mr. Davis will be acquiesced in and imitated by all. OPENING OF THE NEW IRON B RIDGE AT _ROCHESTER. ROCHESTER, WEDNESDAY. The large and massive iron bridge over the Medway, at this city, was formally opened to the public this afternoon by the Bridge Wardens, the Earl of Romney and E. Twopenny, Esq. The bridge, which is built of iron on granite piers, was commenced in 1850, the first pile having been driven on the 3d of April in that year. The engineer is Sir W. Cubitt, and the contractors Messrs. Fox and Henderson. The foundations consist of iron cylinders, each nine feet in length, with a diameter of seven feet, each weighing abut five tons. These cylinders were sunk to the required depth by means of great pres sure, the water at the same time being kept out by com pressed air. In many instances these cylinders bad to be sunk forty feet below the bed of the river, until they reached the hard chalk, which afforded a firm basis. They were then filled with concrete. The series of cy- Ifndeis are bolted together, and form two rows of six in each row for each pier, excepting that on the Strood side, where there are 30 cylinders. The courses of ma sonry commence at low water mark, and are carried upwards to 18 feet. REVIEW OF THE ARTILLERY BY THE COMMANDER IN-CHIEF. WOOLWICH, WEDNESDAY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Com manding-in-Chief, arrived at the garrison this day, at half•past one o'clock, and was received by the comman dant Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams, and a brilliant staff of officers, amongst whom we ob served Colonel Teesdale, General Sir Hew Ross, General Cator, Colonel Anderson (commanding the field bat teries), Lieut.• Colonel Bingham, Colonel Palliser, Bri gade-Major Shaw, &c. The whole of the troops in garrison assembled in review order on the common, the ground being kept by the Royal Marines and a strong body of the R division of police. The number of spectators was very limited ; hot the evolutions of the troops were those of a grand field-day, and did not terminate until half-past five o'clock. The Sydney and Parramatta Railway has con tinued to give unbounded satisfaction to the public ever since its opening on the 26th of September last. On Wednesday, the 14th inst., the Railway Commissioners tested the second line by running a ballast train over it the whole length, from Sydney to Parramatta. The entire weight of the train was about 164 tons, and the rate of speed attained 30 miles au hour. The commissioners expressed themselves highly satisfied with the result of their inspection. The progress of the works on the Liverpool extension line has been checked consi derably by the late unfavourable weather, but at the present moment they are going on very suc cessfully. The earthworks are nearly completed, and the bridges are in a very forward state. The permanent way is not so far advanced, owing to there having bueu some little delay, occasioned by the non-arrival of supplies of rails from England. The Canipbelitown extension line is at present being surveyed, and wid be commenced so soon as the Legislature shall have sanctioned the estimated outlay. With regard to the proposed line to Windsor, no steps, w e b e li eve, have as yet been taken, but it is not improbable that it will be commenced about the same time as the Campbell- Precisely at two o'clock his Royal• Highness the Commander-in -Chief, Lord Hardinge, and the comman dant and staff, proceeded to inspect the Foot Artillery, and subseqihmtly returned to the flagstaff, the various companies marching past to the tunes of " See, the Conquering Hero," alternately with " Home, Sweet Hnme." The field batteries were next inspected ; these were drawn up in continuous columns, the guns in front and the ammunitio n waggons in the rear. Most of the guns were 9-pounders but there were f our b at t er i es o f 18- poilinders arid a howitzer battery of 32-pounders. After the inspection his Royal Highness and staff again took up a position at the flag-staff, near the Royal Military Academy, and the fi e ld batteries marched past , at slow time in columns of six guns abreast ; two of the batteries were drawn by Spanish mules, and the extra ordinary activity of these animals was the subject of general remark. Not the least attractive part of the scene was the appearance between the battery waggons of the pet dromedary, led by a gunner, and a small Rus sian donkey, richly ornamented with sashes. After the march at slow time, the batteries described the circuit of the common, and went a second time past the flag staff at full gallop. The scene was most imposing, but, unfortunately, one of th e d r i vers was thrown, and sus tained such severe injuries that his life is despaired of. After performing other evolutions the batteries formed into line on the brow of tho kill skirting the Dover-road, and on other portions of the outskirts of the common, and a most incessant firing was kept up for more than an hour. The finale of the proceedings was the inspection of the Royal Horse Artillery. These fine troops dashed past the flag-staff at full gallop, and presented a most im posing appearance. At the conclusion of the review his Royal Highness, accompanied by the commandant and staff, proceeded across the common to the south-west end, occupied by the tents, and here were drawn up a large number of non-commissioned officers and men recently returned from the Crimea, and who did not form a portion of the troops previously reviewed. His R,yal Highness, with the utmost condescension, put various questions to the men, and inspected the huts. The party then left amidst the repeated cheering of these Crimean soldiers and the spectators for the Royal Artillery Barracks ; and at half-past seven o'clock a sumptuous banquet was served up in the officers' mess-room. His Royal Highness will proceed to Chatham to-mor row for the purpose of reviewing th e t roops in that garrison. There are three arches to the bridge, the centre arch having a span of 170 feet, nod each of the side arches 140 feet. The width of the bridge, from parapet to parapet, is 40 feet, told including the approaches on the Strood side its extreme length is 1,200 feet. In consequence of the veto of the Admiralty it was necessary to construct a portion of the bridge as a swing, and this is looked upon as a triumph of engineering skill. This swing bridge gives a roadway of the same width as the rest of the bridge, and is 109 feet in length ; the weight to be moved is 200 tons. The iron castings of the bridge, which are brought out by a judicious system of painting, are of excellent workmanship and finish. There is scarcely any sinking of the foundations percep tible, the orly deflection being about one-eighth of an inch in the crown of the centre arch, derived from the cohesion of the parts. When the swing bridge is thrown open, which will he the case at stated periods, there will be a passage of a clear width of 60 feet for vessels to pass through. The old stone bridge over the Med way was completed in the year 1392, and has conse quently stood nearly five centuries ; it was built by Sir Ft. Knolles, and was kept in repair by contributions from the adjacent parishes. This bridge will be imme diately taken down, and a large esplanade on the back of the Medway constructed with a portion of the mate rials. There was a grand display of fireworks, in th• eveniny, on the old bridge, and the after part of the day was observed as a general holiday in this city. MELBOURNE WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT. Argus-office, Friday Evening, May 23. The present week, like its predecessor, has been an extraordinarily dull one. The arrivals have been few and the cargoes not unsuited to the wants of the market ; but the condition of the roads and the consequent rise in cartage have kept all coun try dealers back. We give a few details for the in formation of shippers to this market. Breadstuffs—There have been full importations of flour from all sources since our last summary, but prices have remained stationary. At present prices are looking downwards. In Adelaide and in Tasmania recent sales have been made at lower rates, and shiptients of the new crop are expected daily, and Adelaide has been sold as low as 231. Sales have been made at Haxall and Gallego at 555, and we believe this is the extreme limit that cm' be got for any quantity. Grinding samples of wheat are sold at 9s. per bushel, and Adelaide seed wheat at 13s. per bushel. Oats continue dull. The crops in the neighbourhood of the diggings appear to be nearly sufficient for the consumption, and we think we shall next year be nearly independent of foreign supplies. Even now, adding carriage, oats are cheaper at the gold fields than in Melbourne, where they are sold at a loss to every importer. Liquors—Brandy has been freely offered, and prices have given way. Martell's pale and United Vineyard, in case, are scarce, and much wanted. Rum is freely offered. Old tom for immediate de:ivery realises Bs. Whisky has come in in large quantities, but there is a good demand for imme diate delivery. Port wine is in good demand light wines are out of season. Sales are made of Bass's, Worthi ng t on an d R o bi nson ' s, an d AllsoPP, s ale at 10/. to 10/. ss. The Burton Brewery Com pany's ale is becoming known in the market. All sopp's ale is more eagerly bought this year, the quality being excellent. B ass ' s h as su ff er ed in re putation from quantities of a lower quality not numbered, but known as N 0.4, having beenforced on the market. ;Own one. We believe it is now pretty certain (says the summary of the Sydney Morning _Herald) that the Hunter River Railway will be opened in October next, or about the same time as the Liverpool one. The line it form e d on t h e d ou bl e ra il principle, and, like the Sydney one, is thoroughly substantial. At present there is some doubt as to the most eligible localities for the termini—whether at one end the terminus shall be at East or West Mait land, and whether at the other it shall go up to the wharf at Newcastle, or stop at Honeysuckle Point, a difference of a mile. A survey is at pre• sent going on, and when that i s completed it will be for the coinuiLisioners to decide as to the most eligible points. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIYERPOOL, Wednesday.— rhe, Montreal company's screw steam-ship, North Ame rican, Ca Grange, sailed this m orn i ng f or Q ae b eo and Montreal with th usual fortnightly mails for Canada, 265 passengers, and a full cargo. The screw-steamer, City of Manchester, Capt. Petrie, sailed to-day for Phila delphia, with mails, passengers, and cargo. The screw steamer Canadian, Capt. Grange, with advices from Quebec, to Aug. 2, may be looked for to-morrow morn ing. The Ericsson, which was to leave New York on Aug. 2, is likely to be anticipated by the Persia, leaving Aug. G. Although the new Parliament will meet on Thursday next, we believe it is not the desire at present either of a ma j ority of hon. members or of the Government to proceed with the business of the session, in consequence mainly of the requisite accommodation not having yet been provided. It is therefore understood that the Parliament will sit for two or three days, in order to give time for the election of a Speaker, and probably a chairman of committees. It will then adjourn very likely for a month, by which time the tempo rary iron building, now in course of erection at the southern end of the old Council Chamber for the accommodation of the Upper House, will be com pleted. COUNTY COURTS.—By the Act of the 15th and 16th Vic. c 54, the privilege of practice at the bar, which had until then been allowed to the judges of the county courts, was taken away, and their salaries were fixed to ly , ! not less than 1,2001. nor more than 1,5001. a-year. By a Treasury minute, made by Mr. Gladstone, M.P., the contingency was stated which should entitle a judge to the higher salary. This contingency was fulfilled in the case of the j udge of the county courts of Glamorgan shire (Mr. Falconer) at the date of the minute, but he was passed over and 20 of the judges were placed on the higher fist. The increase of busiuess, however; has been so great on Circuit 30, since the asury minute was made, so as t) place this circuit r est the too of the list of all the circuits in nearly eve ranch of the busi ness of the courts. A Treasury minute was, conse quently, made in favour of the judge of this circuit in December last, Which was, however, kept suspended on account of th.C; di.::cussicn in Parliament upon the gene ral claims of the county court judges under the amended bill relating to the county courts. The judge on this circuit has to travel 3.552 miles iu the year, or 296 miles in each mouth, within the iinkits of the circuit a l one , o f which lie has to post in ea c h month 146 miles. There were 13,277 causes entered on the circuit last year, of which 242 were above 201. There were 82 insolvency petitimis, and the sum sued for in the courts was 36,9561. There were also seine causes ra-b-rred to him fur bearing from the superior c ,, urts. The time he is out on circuit is 22 days in each month, including Sundays, and the oidivary work of the circuit does not end when the cir cuit ends ; and if a referred cause is heard some days' more work is added to the usual work of the month.— Cambrian, Groceries.—This trade has been and is very dull, 'and many retailers, both in town and the country, have retired under the pressure of expenses- Provisions.— Provisions genera lly are lower, the inland consumpti on b e i ng W provided for for some time to come. The highest price for bacon is is. 2d., and for hams is. 4d. The stocks of butter are large, and there are advices of further ship ments. The Walrner Castle is stated to have sailed from Mel bourne on the 17th of May with 43,000 ounces of gold, valued at 172,0001. The Kent and Joseph Tarratt were both to leave on the 10th of June, and were expected to take considt rable quantities. - The money market during the last six weeks has been much easier, and large sums have lately been lent on mortgage at from 6 to 8 per cent. interest. The rate of exchange on London continues at 3 per cent. prem., and discounts at 6,7, and 8 per cent., according to currency. There has been a fair amount of business transacted; both by auction and privately, since our last summary; on some articles o f merc h an di se h ave slightly de clined, owing t o th e h eavy i mpor t a ti o ns which have arrived si mu lt aneous ly, an d which have been forc e d i n t o th e mar k e t f or sale. but prices [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills (an unfailing cure for Dropsy.—'Phis truly distressing complaint is sufficiently prevalent amongst individuals, especially females after attaining a certain period of life.

AMAZON LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—A call of 1/. per share has been made on all the shareholders in this abortive company, to pay off its debts and liabilities, the list of contributorie3. liable having been settled by the Master in Chancery. PARENTAL ENDOWMENT ASSURANCE COMPANY.—The affairs of this company are to be wound up, and credi tors are called in to prove their claims. HULL GLASS COMPANY.--This company, established for the manufacture of glass, and which failed in doing so, at Hull, is about to be completely wound up, after being in Chancery undergoing that process since April, 1850, the date of the order to wind up. A letter in Le Nord says : —" The bridge over the Vis tula is being constructed with prodigious activity, and it is hoped the works will be completed by the autumn of 1857. The expense of construction, estimated in the first instance at seven millions of dollars, will probably reach nine millions, but the Chambers will not refuse to sanction this excess. The bridge once finished will raise to its full importance the Berlin railway to Ko nigsberg, which will shortly be extended and join the line from St. Petersburg to Warsaw."

A notice of marriage without licence is to be affixed to the s uperintendent's office, but notice of a marriage by licence is not to be sus pended.

Yesterday Mr. Wskley, coroner for West Middlesex, accompanied by his deputy, Mr. Brent, proceeded with the adjourned inquiry at ,the Mitre Hotel, Hampton Court, touching the death of a man who, since the pre vious sitting of the jury, had been identified as Lewis Solomon•, lately returned froin A ustralia, aged 34. (The circumstances attending the discovery of deceased's body la the river Thames have a:ready appeared in the Sun.) Mr. Joseph Arnold, residing at No. 2, Henry-strew, Blandford-square, an upholsterer, identified the deceased, whom he last saw alive on the evening of Thursday, the 24th ult. Deceased bad been boarding and lodging with him since ,his return from Australia. Deceased married witness's niece. The,deceased, since hie return, appeared in a distressed and excited state of mind, and was conti nually drinking brandy. However, on no occasion d.d he hear deceased thrdaten to destroy himself. On one occa sion deceaed wished himself out of the world. Witness spoke calmly to him, and this impression was eventually wholly removed frons his mind. Deceased was in the habit of going out as he did on the last occasion, without his waistcoat and watch. Witneia here handed in a letter which was addressed to a person at Bendigo, Aus tralia, and which deceased had left with the witness's wife to be forwarded by an earlk:A t ail. In it deceased expressed a.avish to Lis frigad tsa4dre some money- he had left in Australia foi• his children, tied send it over to witness, whom he left as their guardian. He spoke in the letter of his wife as " a wretch," saying she should have no more of his money, as what had been stated of her was correct, and at the same time expressed his intention of again shortly quitting England for Australia. Mrs. Anne Arnold, wife of the last witness, corrobo rated his evidence, and added that when the deceased went out after lunch she asked him where he was going, and how long he would be gone. He replied, as he usu ally did, that.he did not know; but lie expressed his in tention ofbeiug in, if not to dinner, before tea. Witness had never seen any dagger, pistol, or poison, in the de ceased's possession, and she never heard him threaten to commit suicide. - Mr. Robert Jefferies, fruiterer, &c., of 32, SherLe,rne street, Blandford-square, proved speaking to the de ceased-after his quitting home on the day in question. He called at witness's shop, and on deceased's invitation they went out and had some brandy. To pay for the refreshment the deceased took a small canvas bag out of his pocket, containing, witness should think, from 14 to 15 sovereigns, and got change for halt a sovereign. On taking leave the deceased said most positively that he would return early in the evening and have a smoke with witness. He did not say where he was going, and he appeared in an exceedingly composed state of mind. Witness did not see any weapon in his possession at the time. A. felt wide awake cap was here produced, which In spector Rapsey stated was found near the river, but it was not proved to be deceased's, which was still missing. Louisa SOlomons, a morose-looking person, was next examined—She stated that she resided at 14, Essex street, CommerciaLroad, and was the deceased's widow. She saw the deceased at her house on ,the 18th ult., when upon leaving he said she should see him in a fe days again. He said he was gding to her aunt's resi dance in Henry-street, Blandford-square. On parting with her she observed he had some sovereigns —four or five—and some silver in his poeseseioa. Generally he, was a sober man, but since he went abroad she could prove that he had bpcorue a great drunkard. When he first arrived in England he threatened to destroy him self, but he banished that idea altogether from his mind, and at length became very composed, and she congratu lated him on his being able to go and enjoy himself at Southampton, as he did for a day on the 18th. She saw a pistol in his possession. She • expressed her sur prise at his carrying so much money, as he might be murdered or robbed ; but he replied no one would harm him. He also took some documents, which she consi dered were Australian shares, and the right to some landed property in that country, out of his pocket, and observed that neither she nor the children should ever want, He said he had provided for her and her children. Mr. Abraham Davis, carrying on a china and glass business at 103, Tottenham-court -road, was then sworn, and he deposed that the deceased was his brother-in-law. The last time he saw him alive was on the 10th ofJune, 1853, when he went out-to Australia with his (witness's) son from Gravesend. He said the deceased acted as his agent and his son's guardian, the latter being then 17 years of age. Witness paid 1761. for their passage meney, and at the same time sent over -stocks to thee .o.le. of 1,0001. for them to trade with. Before leaving witness had arranged to allow the deceaSed's wire, far the sup port of herself and family, 255. a week until his return. HoweAr, no s•ioner had deceased left than a man named Grey visited his wife at the place of tru,ioess witness had lett her to superintend in Union-street, Bishopsgate street. She at first introc'uced Grey as her husband's friend, but from what he witnessed he at le ,gtb, as her guardian during the deceased's absence, forbade Grey entering the house. Upon this she flew into the most violent passion, and would have stabbed him with a carving knife only for the interference of his mother-in• law, and his protecting himself with a chair. At length her conduct became from time to time so violent that he could do nothing more with her, and she left her home to live with Grey, who was a married man with a family. The witness having deposed to the misconduct of the deceased in Australia, by which he (witness) had been driven to bankruptcy, proceeded to state that in conse quence of the continued diegraceful proceedings of de ceased's wife witness wrote to the deceased, informing him of the whole circumstance, and begging him to send home no more money to his wife. Upon this he received the letter produced from the deceased, in which,' with the most dreadful eatbir, he threatened to take immedi ate vengeance on him for the false statements made against his "dear Idolise." (The letter was read, and created the utmost horror in the court, the language used being of the most terrible character.) In conclu sion, the witness said that fortunately the deceased did not call upon him upon first landing in England. The Coroner asked the witness if he could throw any light upon the deceased's death. The unfortunate man had been found with a frightful wound in his side, and they wanted to learn under w h at c i rcumstances the vio lence took place. The witness replied that he could not enligten the jury on this subject. The Coroner said that the witness might congratulate himself on having a most narrow escape of being mur dered by the deceased, and the witness replied he felt perfectly the perilous position he had been placed in.' The deceased's widow was ordered to be in court dur ing the witness's examination, and she heard the whole unmoved. Hannah Solomon; a widow, and deceased's sister-in law, residing at 16, Red Lion-street, Holborn, said that the deceased called upon her shortly after his arrival in England, in company with Mrs. G rey, wife of the man who was living with his wife. He appeared much affected on hearing of the death of his brother, and wept bitterly on acc mnt of his wife. Mrs. Grey gave her the dagger produced (a kind of bowie knife), which she had taken from deceased, observing that he had brought it to Eng land for an ornament. Mrs. Gr e y also said he hal a pistol in his possession which she sh ou l d get from him. The dagger had remained in witness's possession ever since. Sarah Grey, 10, Victoria road, :Borough, gave similar evidence. The witness added that her husband had been all through and was at present living with the deceased's wife. For the last two weeks he had refused to allow witness any maintenance for herself and five children, her husband's earnings being 255, a week.. In cross-examination the witness said she had no sus picion agaiast any one on account of the deceased's death, but before that event her husband told several persons that Mrs. Solomons might conside r herself a widow, as he intended to marry her. The deceased allowed her to take the pistol and dagge r produced from him, as he said she was as much the injured per son as himself. She heard her Ira-band say that the de ceased should never take Mrs. Solomons to Australia as long as he had an arm on his body. A neighbour replied that he should go and lire with his wife again, and de ceased could take his own away, when h e sa id , " He ' never shall take her away." Frances Tyler having deposed to deceased's despond ing, and at times excited state after his return From Aus tralia, and to his admission that he had fully intended to kill witness and her husband, had his (deceased's) wife been innocent, said that . Grey called on witness, and in his wife's presence said, "Louisa (meaning the deceased's wife) may consider herself a widow, as no other man shall have her in this world but me." (Sen. cation.) Mr. Davis also called at witness's house with two pistols in his possession, to see the deceased. The pistols were not loaded, and he said he only brought them to frighten the deceased, for although he had ruined him he did not care if he would tell him what became of his son in Australia. The deceased was not at home at the time, so that Mr. Davis did not see him. After a few days the deceased became more collected, but still from the circumstance preying on his mind witness did not consider him right in his mind. Several other witnesses were examined, who proved that the deceased, on his arrival in England, was in a very excited state on account of the conduct of his wife, but after calm reflection he appeared to become quite composed, and resolved to return to Australia again, for which purpose he went to takd a passage in a vessel proceeding to that colony, where it seems he possessed several shares in the gold mines at Bendigo, as also a quantity of land. - The Court was now cleared of strangers, and the man Grey was questioned by the jury. After a fep minutes further deliberation with closed doors the inquiry was further adjourned to enable the police to make more searching inquiries respecting the whole transaction. While the jury were in deliberation a most painful scene took place outside the court, through the lifeless man's sister beirg seized with several severe epileptic fits, so acutely did she feel her brother's distressing end. The supposition appeared to be that the deceased, if murdered, was assassinated in London, and then con veyed up the river to the spot where his body was dis covered. ~,.~.- eon Ins taf- ion.
