ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY. HEAD OFFICES—Lombard-street, London ; and Royal Insurance Buildings, Liverpool. Branch Offices—Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin. EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860. " The success of the Company, even in its earliest years, received the marked attention, and elicited the surprised comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. " Fire Preiniutns for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851. "Life Premiums for 1860 'EXCVED the Entire Life Pre miums for the EIGHT Y WARS ending. 1852. " Purcha-e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the similar receipt , for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "Thi, , 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 £2` , 8,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of £2 "2,977195. 11d., showing an increase of .£3.1,663 12s. Bd., ex ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in two years the Fire Revenue of the coi Dairy hag been er , l h need by the enormous sum of £66,829 I s. oaf. "The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to Government for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of the business in a more promineot way, as it affords the means of comparison with otter 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 ny. 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 advance of the other 23 offices established out of London, LIFE BRANCH. "The Reports of the Company for several years pave had invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its Life Business, the New Policies of each succeeding yearshow 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 th t 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 iii the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the attention of vast numbers f Persons in all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a 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 a ssured in the corres ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount in itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period of time _ " If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business, be at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the head of all the Insurance Companies doing business in this Country, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the effect that the details of the Lire Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation." —•-- • - SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THE LIFE BRANCH.

Pompadour jumped off with a clear lead, followed by Barricade, the Miss Whip filly and Trust, Duneany lying close up with them. In this way they rounded the turn into the straight, where the Miss Whip filly came out, and with a slight lead made the running to the distance, where Pompadour gave way, and Duneany at the same time got up on the whip hand, and ran in company to the Stand enclosure, where he was beaten, leaving the issue between the three. Lord Glasgow's filly, running the longest, won by hall a length, a like distance separating the second and third. Pompadour was fourth, and Duneany last, who pulled up lame.

Rome little time was lost through Redhair overpowering Buck and running nearly to the turn before she could be stopped. On the flag being lowered the quartette left the post in close order, Erica having a slight lead, waited upon by Redhair, Lucinda, and Kate Price in the order we have given them to the distance, where the latter came through her horses, and shortly after went on with a clear lead, which she held to the end, and won very cleverly by a neck. Lucinda finished a wretched third, and Redhair last, beaten off. The winner was sold to Mr. Holmes for 160 guineas.

Passing the wood Sweetbriar ran through her horses, and on reaching the half-mile post was seen in pos session of the lead, closely waited upon by Tattoo, Crusade, and the favourite, and in which way they ran to half-way in the distance, when Brown Duchess came out, and won in a very hollow style by a length. Tattoo, who passed Sweetbriar opposite the stand, finished half a length in ad vance for second; Confidante was fourth, Prudence fifth, and Blue Stockings next.

The following letter appeared in the Freeman last Wed . nesday : , My Lord,—The very pleasant acquaintance which I had with your lordship, my remembrance of your life of Chris tian and philanthropic labour, and especially the part which you took in originating that address of the women of Eng land to the women of America on the subject of slavery, which first reached this country through me, have moved me to address you as the fit representative of that portion of the Christian public in England on whom we have most relied for moral support during our long and desperate con flict with slavery. It is not to be disguised that one unfortunate result of • our American crisis has been a weakening of national con fidence in England and a feeling of great sensitiveness and soreness in our relations with the country. Did this exist alone in the minds of politicians, it would be less to be regretted, but I am sorry to be constrained to say that it probably lies deepest in the minds of that Chris tian and philanthropic class who have hitherto been the closest affiliating bond between the two countries. In this class the feeling has the intensity of wounded friendship and disappointed confidence so that they were little pre pared to act the part they hate for years pursued of peace makers. It is not to be disgtised tlaat they regard them selves as suddenly abandoned in the very crisis of a battle by the moral forces of those brethren on whom they had relied as undoubtinglyae on themselves, and the possibility of whose failure had never enteed into their most distant cal. culations. It is also most utfortunate that this failure of moral support comes at a monent when the moneyed inte rests of England appear to bethreatened by our course, and therefore the impression fez t liable to go ft.rth that finan cial Interest - IT:111W ii?`-evedrecriTier moral It is not principally by the Governmental course of the English nation that this class among us feel aggrieved. It is not with that that they principally concern themselves. GovernmentaZ action, as your experience, my lord, must have made son fully aware, is the last expression of that cultivation and training which the national conscience re ceives from the energetic labour of men whose lives are directed by high moral and Christian aims. It is the power that lies behind the Government in the minds and opinions of the Christian people of England that is the subject of our chief anxiety. To suppose that all this class in England, fresh in the traditions of Clarkson and Wilberforce, so high in metal position in other respects, so various and rich in their contributions to the progress of Christian civilisation, has suddenly become blinded by interest on a great vital question relating to the cause of universal humanity, is not possible. Such a supposition would be too near to a general bankruptcy in all faith inhuman virtue. We have therefore but one alternative. Our cause must have been misunder stood. By false representations and false issues, our friends in England have been blinded to the real significance of the sublime movement which the American nation has just commenced. Allow me, then, my lord, through you, to define to our friends in England, what we, the Christian men and women of America, understand by this war. We consider this struggle to be the direct result of the conscientious agitation which has been carried on during the course of the last century by the united forces of the anti .slavery people of England and America. We consider it as the great decisive issue of the slavery question in the civilised world. The causes which brought on this war first began to work when Clarkson began to give up all earthly prospects, an! devote his life to enlightening the conscience (.1 the world on the slave -trade. Then was set in motion a stream d activities, that first abolished slavery and the slave trade in England, and then in the free States of the North, and bat since has been acting with yearly increasing force on the slave institutions of the Southern Si ates, till at last they have been driven to endeavour to destroy our national organisation as the only means of pre serving peaceably this institution. We consider that this war is a great Anti-Slavery War, not is form, but in fact ; not in proclamation, but in the in tense conviction aid purpose of each of the contending par ties, and still mor3 in the inevitable overruling indications of Divine Providence. The distinct issue made in President Lincoln's election was "no more slave territory." This was confessed both by North and South, and whatever the North understood by it, the South certainly considered it as equivalent to the destruction of slavery. Accordingly, in the Southern election the success of Lincoln was always spoken of as the overthrow of the slave-power. Not all the tranquilising speeches of conciliating politicians, not even the pledge of the prospective Administration to respect all the constitu- tional rights of the slave. owners, for one moment blinded them to the conviction that if this election were carried the doom of their peculiar institution was sealed. In view of this issue, every free state, vitLout exception, voted against him. It was the first time in oar national history that such a division ever occurred, and it was a decisive indication of what was understood by the movement on both sides. As soon as Lincoln's election was proclaimed, the con • spiracy, long secretly meditated, and only waiting for this moment to devolve itself, was openly organised. The slave-party finding that they could no longer use the Union for their purposes, resolved to destroy it. They formed their Confederacy ; aid Vice-President Stephens declared to the world in bcld unequivocal terms that theirs was the first Governaent in the history of the world based upon the right to enslave the weaker races. He proclaimed with a blasphemous adaptation of words applied once to the great Liberator of the oppressed, " This stone which was rejected by the builders has become unto us the head of the corner." The Confederacy which thus commenced by proclaiming in the face of Christendom the right and purpose of robbery and piracy was carried on by kindred means. During the time that elapsed between the election of Lincoln and its inauguration, officers of this Confederation robbed the Trea sury, forts, and arsenals of the United States of millions of property which, by oaths of oce, they were sworn to pro tect; and subsequently they have repudiated en masse all obligations of commercial honesty to Northern creditors. When this Confederacy fi r ed upon our national flag, and trampling it in the dust boasted that they had humbled the banner of our Union, then the free state rose as one man. Such a sublime uprising of such masses, in such a cause, I will venture to say, the worli has never seen before. The issue was more than the liberation of any specific number of men. It was for vital principles of free society to endure to all generations. The two Confederacies sent their armies to the field ; the one founded on the right of the strong to enslave the weak, and claiming the right of out-voted minorities to secede from the authority of governments whenever it so suited them. Freedom of spee c h, freedom of the press, and all the great privileges of the Anglo-Saxon liberty, were prac tically repudiated ana denied by this party. On the other hand stood the American Union, founded on the declara tion that all mon have equ a l rights to life, liberty, and pur suit of happiness—restin g government on the will of the majority, and allowing to the minority the right only of such redress of grievances as they could gain from free speech, free press, and the general liberty of moral influ ence. That this war has not been proclaimed a war for the emancipation of the negro specifically, was because the ex tent and magnitude of the issue transcended the wants of any particular race, and had to do with the very existence of free society. A deep thinker and popular lecturer well embodied his view of the issue in a lecture delivered at the time, which he entitled " Civilisation at a Pinch." Such was what we understood the issue to be. It is no fiction, my lord, when we say that our Govern ment is the government of the people ; and our people of the North are a sober and thoughtful one, and not in the least given to demonstrative enthusiasm and inconsiderate expenditure. Yet so well did every man in the community understand this to be the issue, that the Government has been literally flooded with men and money. The strife for office that usually wages at Washington was nothing to the strife of regiments pressing their claims to be called into service—and every regiment was in like manner embar rassed with volunteers pleading to be enrolled. All parties were united as one man. Though national existence, and not negro emancipation, was the announced battle-cry—yet existence in this case was felt to mean the extinction of slavery. The philanthropist with a robber's pistol at his throat must think of his life first if he means to help the poor — and a nation threatened with national extinction must live if she means to emancipate slaves. There is one party in this country, my lord, who have made the abolition of slavery the sole thought and purpose of their lives. They are distinguished from all other anti-slavery men in America by the fact that they have confined themselves to this one single idea, and for its sake given up every other interest, political or ecclesias tical. They have abandoned all connection both with Church and State that they mightfeel free to give themselves to this alone. This party, represented by the well-known names of Garrison and Wendell Phillips, whatever their peculiarities on some points may have been, certainly merits the confidence given to men who have abandoned all things for a cause which they love better than them selves. Their instincts have always been an unerring in dication of what made for the anti-slavery interest im this country. For 20 years this small party has met every movement in Church or State with what often has appeared to be un reasonable criticism, on account of alleged deficiencies toward the slavery cause. For the first time since the anti.slavery struggle began, this body of men at last stands shoulder to shoulder with their whole country in a popular movement. In a late speech at an anti-slavery gathering, Mr. Phillips thus defends their position : " I feel satisfied that the end of the slave system has come. I have no doubt that we begin to touch the end. MY reason is this. The age of discussion is over. We have had 50 years, more or less, of what is called agita tion, discussion, and party divisions. Now a new act has opened. It is the hour of fight—the age of bullets. That never lasts very long. It does not take as much time for a nation to fight itself clear as it does to talk itself clear, only it is necessary that the talk should precede such a fight. it is only necessary that the mind, the substratum of pur pose, should be deliberately formed. think it has been. I do not mean to say that the whole North is anti-slavery, much less for abolition; but I do mean to say this, that the South has fully come to the conviction that unless she can use the Union to support slavery, the system is gone:; and I think the North has come to this conviction, that the Union never shall be used to sustain slavery. I think, so far, the public mind is made up. Ido not mean that the popular mind objects specifically to certain constitutional provisions, that men have made up their minds not to return fugitive slaves; but I think there is a prevailing and unconscious, perhaps, but assured sentiment and purpose of the North, that the Union neither does or shall mean liberty in the end. " Some friends criticise me because I seem to them to have surrendered my favourite plea of disunion, and wel comed this war. But let such remember, that no man should flatter himself he can mould the world exactly in his method. He must consider it rare success if his contem poraries adopt substantially his purpose. I have advocated disunion for 15 years, because I thought it a practicable and peaceable method of freeing the North from the guilt of slavery, and of planting at the South the seeds of early and entire emancipation—wringing justice from a weak and bankrupt South. But it has pleased the nation to seek that result in a different way. The majority about us, starting with thirpthieiple that- *WS-was a nation, not a partner ship, have constantly claimed that the cornerstone of our Government, the spirit of '76, was the full liberty of each and every human being, ' They waited with what they thought brotherly patience, with what the South fancied was selfish fear, for the whole nation to acknowledge this theory. The half success of Fremont, the election of Lin coln, were the handwriting on the wall. "The North replies—' We should have preferred debate —a free press—education--ballots ; but if you choose bul lets, agreed I The Stars and Stripes meant liberty in '76, and shall now.' I myself should have preferred peace and argument, but the twenty millions have chosen otherwise. I have only to accept the Red Sea through which God wills to lead His people, and I rejoice still that Canaan is beyond. If we are to serve our age, we must serve it in the way it chooses. When the people, thoroughly awake, and as well taught as the times allow, deliberately choose any honour able way of reaching an object of pressing importance, the duty of an honest man is to aid them all he can in their effort. Hence I bow to the masses, and welcome emanci pation by war." In opposition to such a mighty tide of influence, all sweeping in one direction, it seems to the friends of the anti-slavery cause but a slight abatement that individual generals have promised to put down slave insurrections, and that slaves have been in isolated instances returned from Federal camps. Such instances have always met with a prompt and energetic rebuke on the part of the Northern people ; and already the number of slaves liberated by our army is counted by hundreds, while the number returned have been the rare exceptions. The refusal of the North to enlist negro regiments has also been criticised in Eng land, as showing a want of proper feeling to the race. But, my Lord, it has been the desire of our Northern States, as brothers, as Christians, as men of humanity, to avoid, as long as possible, raising the awful whirlwind of conflicting races. While we hold in our hand the match which might ignite that powder magazine, an awful pity and fear stays us. Any other way is better for the slave himself than the way of blood ; and if onee this deadly strife is precipitated, this war will become one of barbarities hither unknown in civilisation. It has been the object of our Government to preserve our army free from all impulses of vindictive pas sion, and to make it an instrument of preserving order and tranquillity in all the region where it moves. A negro in surrection would be the most unfortunate thing possible for that injured race, whose freedom is coming on the wings of every hour. Untaught and furious, they would perpe trate deeds which would check the rising sympathies of the world, and needlessly complicate the majestic movement which we trust is destined at last to humble and destroy the power of their oppressors. Our army is followed by the prayers of slaves who find no difficulty in understand ing that our success means good to them. Let our friends in England, who gallantly laboured with us in the moral struggle which brought on this crisis, now understand its high significance, and aid us with their prayers. Even as I write, my Lord, the great decisive battle is waging, our troops are leading the assault, the telegraph brings hourly report, and we know not who amongst our bravest And dearest may be offering their lives this moment in this litiy cause. Yet no heart faints, no voice falters, there is not a thought nor shadow of regret at the sacrifice we are making, for now, if ever, we have a country that is worth dying for, and a cause in which we count nothing too dear. My Lord, I am yours in the great fellowship of Christian 11. B. STOVE. THE NAVY. YEsterday the screw gun vessel Plover, 5, Com mander the Hon. A. L. Corry, fitting for sea at Chatham, received on board three of her Armstrong guns—viz., one 100-pounder pivot gun and two 20- pounders. She also shipped 40 cases of Armstrong solid and hollow shot and her 68-pounder ordinary guns. The Plover has obtained nearly the whole of her crew, and she will be ready for sea by to morrow. The Dove, Admiralty transport, which sank off Shoeburyness while engaged in conveying the stores from the sunken Hussar to Chatham dock yard, was raised on Tuesday afternoon, and the same night was towed into Chatham harbour by the African paddlewheel steamer. Commander Paul, assistant-master attendant at Devonport Dockyard, left Pembroke on Tuesday in charge of the recently launched screw sloop Per seus, 17. She is attended by the steam tug Pro spero, and is bound to Plymouth, from which port the steam tug Zephyr was despatched yesterday (Wednesday) to meet her in the Channel. The screw steam gunboat Hind left Plymouth yesterday (Wednesday) with stores for the coast guard ship Russell, 60, at Falmouth. The paddlewheel steamvessel Trident, having em barked naval supernumeraries, left Plymouth yes terday (Wednesday) for Gibraltar. It is rumoured in Plymouth that, having in curred some damage, the screw steamship Centu rion, 80, Capt. Henry Rogers, C. 8., one of the Channel Squadron, is ordered to that port for repair. In addition to the powerful batteries and line of defences which are now in course of erection at Garrison Point, at the entrance to the Medway, as well as the range of batteries on the north shore of the river, on the isle of Grain, it is intended still further to increase the sea defences, which now extend from the demi-bastion on the extreme left to the salient angle of No. 1 bastion on the extreme right, by the erection of a casemated battery at Cheyney-rock, which is situate about 1,200 to the eastward of the present fortifi cations. This work when completed will be mounted with 100-pounder Armstrong guns, and will be of enormous strength. The new batteries will be so constructed that the guns will cross their fire with those mounted on the bastions of the fortress, there by subjecting an attacking flotilla to the destructive opposition of numerous powerful batteries, crossing the line of each other's fire. The new works at Garrison-point are progressing as rapidly as the removal of the remains of the dismantled -fortifica tions—the Halfmoon and Cavalier batteries—will admit. The contract for laying the foundations expiring in January next, every effort is now being made by the contractors to have the work completed within the time specified. The contemplated erec tion of a battery on the eastern shore of the Med way, inside Garrison-point, and on the south of Sheerness dockyard, has been abandoned, as the natural defences are considered to be a sufficient security in that direction, the navigation of the Medway for vessels of considerable draught being now exceedingly hazardous. It would, of course, be rendered more so by the removal of the buoys and other objects which now mark the navigable Channel. Higher up the Medway, however, and only at a short distance from Chatham dockyard, two most formidable batteries are now in progress, one battery being placed on the Fojecting head land known as Folly-point, and the other on the opposite shore, a short distance below, on another projecting point called Bishop's Marsh. Both these batteries will command an uninterrpted range o f three miles. Their fire would tell with serious effect on any vessels which had succeeded in passing the batteries at the river's entrance. On the completion of the fortifications now in progress the Medway will be as nearly as possible impregnable. The following appointments were made on Tues day at the Admiralty :—Commander Thomas C. Bruce to the Royal Adelaide ; Lieut. W. M. Lat ham to the Excellent; Lieut. C. G. F. Knowles to the St. Vincent ; and Lieut. Charles J. Wise to the Pantaloon. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Robert Jen kins to the Miranda ; Commander the Hon. Wil liam J, Ward, to the Scourge ; Lieut. Thomas Stackhouse, to the Revenge; Lieut. John J. Gre gory, to the Hogue; Dr. Thomas R. Dunn, pro moted to Inspector-General of Hospitals on the re tired list; William Hamilton, promoted to paymaster-in-chief ; W. Fabian, chief engineer, to the Cumberland, for the Arethusa ; C. P.

The whole of the unemployed troops in garrison at Woolwich, accompanied by General Sir Richard Dacres and Staff, proceeded on their " march out," and dined under canvass, on Dartford-heath yes terday. In order that the officers and men of the Royal Marines may be made acquainted with the method of firing and handling the Armstrong guns, Admi ralty orders have been received at Chatham direct ing one of the large 100-pounders and two of the 40-pounder Armstrongs to befurnished to the ships' gun battery at the Royal Marine Barracks, where the officers and men are daily instructed in the great gun exercise. In consequence of the present inefficiency of the proof-butt in Woolwich Arsenal, several shots hav ing recently passed through, to the great discom fiture and alarm of the steamboat passengers and inhabitants of the neighbouring coast of Essex, an investigation has been officially gone into, theresult of which has proved that since the erection of the butt, about two years ago, the huge mound of earth has considerably diminished in Leight, and in con sequence has ceased to give the protection it was intended to afford. The committee appointed to investigate the circumstances discovered that the butt had literally sunk, and disappeared below the surface or base some 9 or 10 feet since its first erec tion. The portion now standing is consequently of insufficient height. Yesterday a body of men com menced carting fresh materials for raising the butt to its former elevation. The Meisey guns, ordered to be proved this week, will therefore be held over, , and all proof of ordnance has been necessarily sus pended until the work is completed. THE CAPE AND NETV ZEALAND. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. The Union Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Athens, Commander R. B. Davie, from Table Bay July 22, St. Helena 31st, and Ascension August 4, arrived in the Sound about 5 o'clock this morning. The deficient condition of th e finances has formed the most important subject for discussion in the Cape Parliament. Mr. Southey announced in the present Session that it was something about £200,000. A loan to that extent has been deter mined on, and, to meet future recurrences, £lOO,OOO a year increased taxation. The annual estimate will now be over £600,000. The Customs tariff for wines, spirits, and tobacco is doubled. Transfers, legacies, bank-notes, &c., make up the balance. The offices of Colonial Engineer and of Commissioner of Roads are to be abolished. The question of sepa ration has lost ground. A bill to give the members of the Dutch Reformed Church power to elect mi nisters, wardens, &c., was withdrawn. The Assem bly has authorised a survey for the construction of a branch railroad from Wellington to Malmesbury, and the erection of a telegraph from Cape Town, via Port Elizabeth, to Graham's Town. The first vote for annexing the whole of independent Caffraria (from the Kei to Natal) was carried by 12 to 10. This important measure, proposed by a private member, is supposed to have the sanction of Sir George Grey, whose expected removal to New Zealand would probably greatly increase the diffi• culties of its execution. The following message from his Excellency the Governor was transmitted to the Hon. the House of Assembly at Cape Town on the 20th of July : " The Governor transmits for th.e information of the Hon. the House of Assembly the copy of a despatch he has re ceived from her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, stating the reasons which have led her Ma jesty's Government to advise the Queen to appoint the Go vernor to administer the Government of the colony of New 7. ealand. " The Governor further informs the Hon. House that he considers that his daty to the Queen, and a due regard to the interest of her Majesty's subjects in this colony, re quire him to remain here for the period of time which is likely to elapse before the business of the present session of the colonial Parliament is brought to a close. " G. GREY. "Government-house, July 19, 1861." it Downing-street, June 3, 1861. "Governor Sir George Grey. Sir,—Your attention will long since have been directed to the native insurrection which has broken out in New Zealand, and which, though the lest accounts give some reason to hope for the restoration of peace, if those hopes should not be realised, appears to be assuming a character more serious and threatening than that which it had pre viously borne. " Her Majesty's Government have no reason to doubt the prudence with which the affairs of that colony have been conducted, but they cannot disguise from themselves that the occasion is one of unusual urgency ► they perceive that the present progress of the colony and the destiny of a re • markable and interesting race may depend on the events of the next few months, and they feel that there is no servant of the Crown on whose resources and experience they can r own ts az i e l rting, if possible, so entirely rely as on your . . d Maories are alike the dangers with which the colons threatened. Although, therefore, lam aware of adopting an unusual course in requiring you to quit what under any other circumstance would be deemed a more important Government in order to return to one which you have already held, I have that confidence in your public spirit, and in the deep interest you take in the welfare of both races in New Zealand, that I feel certain you will not de cline the opportunity which is offered you of doing your country important service; and I have advised her Majesty to appot nt you Governor of New Zealand. I forward, in a separat e despatch, a warrant, authorising you to administer the Cif wernment of New Zealand, which, in the absence of Colon, el Gore Browne, will give you all requisite authority, until a formal commission can be sent out to you. "L. should wish you to lose no time in repairing to Auck land, and lam sufficiently acquainted with Colonel Gore Brow ne's generosity and anxiety for the public good to be assur ed that in placing in your hands the administration of the o 4 Dlony he will give you every assistance and informa tion i which can be of service to you in the performance of your duties.

BRIGHTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Mr. Anthony Kean, whose death we announced yesterday, as being the twenty-third resulting from this frightful accident, was a master tailor, resid ing at 54, Goswell-road, London. The child Elizabeth Edwin, eighteen months eld, with both legs fractured and very much scalded and bruised, still remains in a very pre carious condition. Thomas Parker, of St. James's street, Brighton, who had received a desperate wound on the forehead, and was otherwise severely bruised all over the body, is progressing slowly. The inquest WSS te,:umcd in the magistrates' court at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The same professional gentlemen attended on behalf of the railway and the persons killed and injured as were named yesterday. Mr. Fryer and Mr. Evans appeared for the in jured persons, and Captain Tyler was again pre t•ent to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Board of Trade. The names of the jury having been called over, Henry Kellick, the signalman at the south end of the Clayton tunnel, was examined in continua tion of the evidence reported yesterday, as to the working of the signals. By the Foreman—The driver had shut off his steam when I showed the red flag. It was about three or four minutes before the third train came round the curve, from the time it came in sight. When I telegraphed, " Is she through ?" as to the second train, the third train was just coming round the curve. It takes three minutes for a train to go through the tunnel. Then did you not know that it was impossible for the train to have got through when you telegraphed, "Is she through?"—Tile witness hesitated, and at length said he was put. out, and that was the reason he supposed why he telegraphed. He was put :la much out by the third train coming on. Another juryman obsaalaael that ,the -vitness in his examination in chief steed' that- . there was about four minutes between the two trains, and that a train would go through the tunnel at speed in 91 minutes. The Coroner, at the request of the juryman, read his notes as to the point, which in effect showed that the witness had described the third train as about four or five minutes behind the second. By the Jury—When the signal does not act by means of the train it has to be worked by hand,lbut On Sunday it would not work by hand. The trains always have the lights behind day and night. I was told on Monday to go home, and when I was wanted I would be sent for. That was the reason I was not in attendance when the jury went to the spot on Monday night. Mr. Farmer told me that. We have no assistance. I get a pound a week wages. We never leave the place while on duty. Our dinners are brought to us, If we require to go away for any necessary purpose we have nobody to leave in charge. I have never, before Sunday last, known two trains in the tunnel at the same time on the same line of rails. If I had had assistance on Sunday I should have sent on to prevent the third train going on into the tunnel until I was sure the second had passed through. Mr. Roupell—Then the three trains came up within 7 or 8 minutes ?—Yes. And all were proceeding at the usual rate ? Yes. When the third train came up the danger signal was set, and when I received th e rep l y f rom th other end of the tunnel I altered it to all right, and the train came up and rushed into the tunnel. The train did not shut off steam immediately the driver saw the danger signal. It was not his duty to do so. Had I not exhibited the red flag the second train would not have shut off steam at all, but would have gone on through the tunnel. I did not know that the train backed while in the tunnel. I have heard that it did. Mr. Evans, Mr. Pook, and Mr. Fryer, put some questions to the witness principally as to the sig nals, but without eliciting any further information. The witness stated it sometimes happened on a Sunday night that three trains ran as quickly fol lowing each other as the three trains in question. I am not provided with oil to oil the signal. It ought to be oiled with oil that don't Purr, which lamp oil does. It is not my duty to keep the signal oil. The Coroner here referred the witness to rule 206, which makes each pointsman and signalman on duty responsible for keeping the points and sig nals in perfect working order and well oiled, but of the existence of which he did not appear to be aware. By Mr. Faithfull—All my duty as to down trains is to signal back with the needle to the other end of the tunnel that the train has passed. This would not take more than half a minute. James Brown, the signal man at the north end.of the tunnel, was next called. I have been signalman at that post nearly eight years. I went on duty last Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. The first thing that happened was my receiving the signal from the south end " Train in." I do not know what time that was. I acknowledged the signal. The train came out of the tunnel at 8.45 by the clock in the box. It did not appear to me longer in the tunnel than it ought to be. I sent a message back, " Train out," directly it came out. That was acknowledged. In about a minute after I received another message that a second train was in ; that is not unusually quick. I acknowledged that immediately, or in about half a minute. I looked for thattrain coming out. It did not come out. I did not do anything in consequence. I received no other message at that time. I waited four or five minutes for the train to come out. I waited in the box two minutes more. The Coroner here gave the witness 'the same cau' tion as he had given to the witness Kellick, but on his replying that he would answer any question that might be asked, the Examination was resumed—l received another telegraph message at 8.52—" train was not out." I answered " Yes," thinking that the other signal man was speaking of the first train. An answer from the south end came, "No; they have run into each other." I got that message at the same time, 8.52. It was alone message. I have known the signal at my post fail to act. I can't say how often, but perhaps two or three times withi n two or three years. It has failed to act from the train wheels passing over, and also from my Wheel from the box. We have a semaphore signal at the tun nel, and the red flag which we use when the ordi nary signal fails to act. I have always reported when the signal was out of order by sending word to the Hassock's station. I don't recollect when I last reported it out of order. In that case we signal by time—that is by the time the trains are due. We have the times in our rules, but we don't go exactly by that, but by our own judgment. It was some minutes after the Portsmouth train had come out of the tunnel that I received the message stating that there was a collision. By Captain Tyler—l don't know whether my clock was right. I have no other time to compare it with. I did not book the time, butt recollect it. We take particular notice when the trains are late, which was the case on this occasion. I did not look at the clock when the message came of the second train in. I guessed that it was a minute after. We keep no book to enter the time of the trains passing. We always telegraph " all right" when the train h as passed. What were the words of the message you re ceived informing you that the train was :not out ? The message was in full—" The train wens not out." What did you think he meant ?—I thought, for the moment, he meant the first train, and that he meant to ask whether the first train Was out. Is that the usual way for asking if a train is out? —No, the usual way is to give a beat of the needle to the right and a beat. to the left to ask if train was out. That was not the signal he made. It did not occur to me that he was asking about the second train. I had received two sigrkals in, and had given only one out. I had not forgotten that I had given one out. I did not understand that the message applied to the second train, till he told me that the trains had run into each other. If a tr . ain after being signall e d rema i ns l onge r than usualin the tunnel, I should make no i nqu iries from the other end. It would be the duty of the man at the south end to ask me, should the train remainllow five longer than usual in the tunnel. always a minutes at the north end after telegraphing for the train to pass through, and if_ I do not receive th e return signal then I telegraph to inquire. It is not my duty to keep the signals in order. If it is ou t of order it is my duty to re p ort it. I could not keep it in order, for it is half a mile off. I don ' t know what is the matter with it wheal it won't work. I have only one needle to work both lines ' with. By the Foreman—l am sure the answers I have given as to time are correct. There were no other messages than: those I have stated. I don't think it would have been possible for the signalman at the south end after he received the message "yes from me to have gone back and altered the signal. By the Jury—so down train came there during the time. I have had no conversation with any one as to the evidence I g,ttine was to give here to - day.
