"The success of the Company, e en 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 EXCI. ED the Entire Life Pre miums for the EIGHT Y WARS endinz 1852. " Purcha e of Annuities in 1560 LARGELY EXCEEDS the similar receipt , for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, coasidering hat 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 9 8,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Firs Premiums has arrived at a sum of £2 , 2,977 19s. lid., 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 theSompany has been en h need by the enormous sum of £66,g29 17s. sa. "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 Co, pang, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad vance of this Comp ny.

That admiration was so great that when ,Radam fell in with educated Frenchmen taken by commerce or chance to his part of the island, he made them pass entire days in relating to him the great battles of Napoleon and he recom pensed them with liberal presents. With his military ideas, it may be easily supposed that Radam, chief of the tribe of the Hovas, occupying a small town named Emirne, could not content himself with his small territory in the interior of Madagascar. He accordingly made war on the people of the eastern coast of the island, and as he was not without genius he conquered them and became their legislator, his territory then extend ing from Fort Dauphin to beyond the Bay of An tongile. Death put an end to his conquestS, or he would probably have conquered the whole island to his domination. The novas constructed for him a tomb at Emirne, in which they placed articles of considerable value. The memory of Radam will be for ever sacred among that people, since they re gard him as the founder of their Power, and almost a God. Ranavalo Manjaky, the present Queen, is his widow. Her husband, before his death, bad her recognised as sovereign, the Hovas making no objection, and she reigned without dispute until these latter times, when an attempt was made to dethrone her, but without success. Ranavalo had no child on the death of Radam, and she adopted and recognised as her son, in accordance with the cus tom of the country, her nephew, the young Ram boasalam, son of her sister. But sometime after, the Queen regretted what she had done, as she found that sha was enceinte. Radam had been long dead, but crowned heads possess privileges not enjoyed by ordinary persons; and the Queen obtained a miracle in descending into the tomb of her hus band, and eighteen months or two years after his death, she gravely informed her subjects that the son which she bore was legitimate, and she caused him. to be recognised as such under the name of Racont-Radama. It now remains to be seen whe ther he will succeed his mother, as two parties are in presence. One, representing the old aristocracy, has declared for Ramboasalom, who is much older than his cousin, cunning, able, enterprising, and cruel, and it is said that he would not shrink from the most ex , reme measures to satisfy his avarice and ambition, which are almost unbounded. He is not friendly to France, and his accession to the throne would perhaps be disas' rous to French trade with Madagascar, and to French. residents in that island. From his energy and talent fears are entertained that he will triumph over his adversary, especially as, in addition to the aristocracy, he is supported by many men of intelligence, on the ground that he is the legitimate heir, having been regularly adopted by the Queen, and that Racout is a bastard. On the other hand Racout has on his side the mass of the people, and especially all those who in any way have been subjected to the infiuenceof French civilisation. He is a devoted friend of the whites, and for a long time had a reverend father of the Society of Jesus for his private secretary. He is mild and docile, and is animated with the best intentions. His accession to the throne would throw open the country to civilisation and commerce, and would perhaps ren der unnecessary any la icourse to arms on the part of the European Powers. The two parties are now waiting with the greatost anxiety for the death of the Queen. Already, irraleed, have the partisans of Ram boasalam made im prudent demonstrations ; some of them for example recently lay in wait for Racout and attempted to assassinate him, and he had a narrow escape. Si. ace then he has obtained from his mother a special g ward, which watches over him day and night. At a recent grand solemnity called the Festival of the Ba ths, the Queen presented Racout to the people, and r'aad him proclaimed her successor as son of Radain. Racout afterwards seated himself on the sacred'. stone—an aat equiva lent in Madagascar to that ()f a coronation in Eu rope. Notwithstanding the. hostility of the two princes, the Queen not long since made them dine together at her table. Racout, on taking his seat at her right hand found be fore him a dish filled with earth, and Ramboasalean, placed at her left, had one full of gold. ' U nderstand clearly the lesson which I gave you,' amid the Queen :—' Ra cout, what you have before you signifies that you shall possess the earth, and be King of Madagascar ? As to you, Ramboas alam, the gold indicates that you will be rich and powerful, but that you must obey the King your cousin !' It is said that Ram boasalam is not disposed to accept the lesson given him. ON PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS AND IMPEDI- MENTS TO MARRIAGE. LAUNCH OF A 11- 7 E TV LIFEB 042' AT SOUTHPORT, LANCASHIRE.

Situated on one of tNE , most dangerous parts of our western coast, Southport has long been in want of a first-class life boat, so that the numerous fishermen living in its vicinity might be on an equality with th eir fellow mariners on other portions of the coast. This desideratum has at length been supolied ; and, through the noble generosity of James Knowles, Esq., of Eagley Bank, Bolton, who pre: tented the cost of the boat to the National Life boat Institution, South. port now possesses as trim and perfect a little vessel as any of her neighbours can boast of. It is one of that Institution's new double-banked boats, 32ft long, Bft wide, and 3ft 9in deep, carry ing ten oars, two short me6slts, with lug sails, and is fitted up with every impr ovement, her cost having been about £2OO. The b OE4 arrived in Southport rather more than a week ;since, and on Saturday last the ceremony of chi•itening and launching her took place. A large ni amber of gentlemen as sembled at the Town-hall,, • where a procession was formed to accompany the HI eboat through the town to the shore. The processi na was headed by the Right Hon. Lord Skelmen td ale, and the Rev. Chas. Hesketh, M.A. rector o f the parish, and com prised many of ! the local magistrates, gentry, and residents. The boat wa. s richly decorated with flags and streamers, anc t was drawn along by ' eight handsome horses, an d accompanied by a band of music and a large conc :nurse of spectators. On arriving at the shore the I mat, on its transporting carriage, was drawn close to the water's edge, the crew, a fine set of fellov rs, commanded by their captain, William Rockcli ffe, who displayed upon his breast the medal cif the Life Boat Insti tution, took their respect ive places, Capt. Ward, R.N., the intelligent and indefatigable inspector of lifeboats, superintending the operations. The Rev. C. Hesketh having intro duced to the assembled thousands Miss Knowles, the daughter of the donor of the boat, that lady mounted the carriage of the boat, anus having taken the bottle of wine in her hand, - said, in a distinct tone, " Succoss to the Jessie Knowles," e.nd dashing it against the side of the vossel, duly performed. the ceremony of chris tenin ,g her amid the deafening plaudits of the mul titudiv. The boat immediately slid from off its carriage and, shot into the foaming tide. There was a glorious sea, just suited for the occasion, a trerciendous north-wester blew an unusually high tide right upon the beach, dashing the waves about right. gloriously. Universal admiration was ex pre.3of at the majestic style in which the Jessie wles bounded away on the crests of the fiercest way es, with apparently the buoyancy of a cork. T he crew, who were all provided with the new life oelt s, were delighted with her performances, and, und, - n• the direction of Capt.

TILE GREAT COTTON REVOLUTION IN ENGLAND AND AMR (From the New York Herald.) Owing to th e scarc i ty of cotton in the Northern States, in consequence of the embargo upon all the outlets from the South, an enterprising speculator has realised ten thousand dollars upon the sale o f two cargoes of the American fibre recently imported here f-om England. According to tho news by the Arago, off Cape Race, yesterday, the decline noticed in the news 133 the Asia had been fully recovered, and the market was firm. This as vance will have the tendency to stimulate the ope rators in India, Egypt, and the rest of Africa and Brazil, to push forward their supplies. The manu facturers already begin to feel that, if they pay high prices, they can get cotton from Egypt, from China, and above all, from their own India. The stock of cotton of all growths at Liverpool, Aug. 17, as reported by the Asia, was 944,360 bales. - The amount afloat was variously computed from 200,000 to 300,000 bales, the bulk of which was India cotton. The English spinners as a class are heavy capitalists, and work usually only for orders for goody contracted for, which they cover to a great extent by the purchase of the raw material. The average stock held by them, without a great dis turbing cause like the present rebellion, is six weeks' consumption. By working half time after this date they can make their stock last till June next. In previous years, in September or October, we have seen many cotton circulars, proving that on the Ist Jan. ensuing there would not be a pound of cotton at Liverpool ; but when the time arrived there was always a good business stock of 300,000 to 400,000 bales on hand, and manufacturers not. pressed. The European spinners have had ample time to trim their barque to the gale, and it will bo found that they have done so, and it is the Ameri. can grower alone who will suffer. • Even on this continent the culture of the plant is not altogether in the control of the States of the Southern Confederacy. It is produced in Nicaragua, and can be to a far greater extent. On this point we publish two letters. One of them is from the the Nicaraguan consul at London, who says, in al lusion to 30 bales of cotton which had just arrived in London from Nicaragua, being the first exported from that country :—" This cotton was grown by the natives, and Mr. Hart is, by the government of Nicaragua, authorised to state that it has a great desire to see British industry directed to the culti vation of cotton in that part ; and it will make a free and liberal grant of land in the republic to those persons who may be desirous of establish ing themselves in the State for the purpose of cot ton growing." We have no doubt that numerous enterprising Britishers will accept the offer. That the soil is eminently suited to the growth of cotton, Mr. Dickinson, our minister to Nicaragua, bears testimony. He says ;—" The soil is good beyond description for the growth of cotton. * * I am satisfied from what I have learned by inquiry and observation, that cotton can be grown to great advantage in this country. I saw the gin at work at the establishment of Messrs. Russell and Fitzg( raid, in Chinandega, cleaning what I regarded as an ex cellent quality of cotton. They are Americans, who intend planting 100 acres themselves this season, and are giving away to others all the seed that is wanted for planting. North Amerieans can labour here and teach the inhabitants how to cultivate the soil and raise cotton enough to supply the United States and most of the rest of the world without slave labour. I very mach doubt whether there can be found' upon the face of the globe a soil and cli mate which are better adapted to its growth than the soil and climate of Nicaragua." We may add that Jamaica and Hayti are both capable of producing the plant in perfection. Cotton from Hayti has brought 14 cents. per pound in the New York market, and it is of that choice kind called the Sea Island, produced on the sea coast of South Carolina and Georgia. In Nicaragua and in Hayti two crops are produced in the year, and the plant is perennial, instead of annual, as it is in the Southern States, on account of the winter frost. L is not necessary to plant the seed every year, as iu Alabama or Louisiana, nor is the plant liable, as in the Southern States, to be destroyed by spring frosts while growing. It is estimated that the cotton bounds of Hay ti are capable of producing four times as much of the staple as the entire produce of our slave States. Spain has thus secured her prize at the right moment, when the sceptre is falling from the hand of the cotton king of the South. And when we turn to the Old World what do we find. That Egypt is admirably adapted to the growth of cotton, and that its government is en couraging British immigration there with a view to the extensive cultivation of the plant, and in order to cement the interests of Egypt with those of Eng land. Egypt is essentially necessary to England as a means of communication with her Indian pos sessions, and the culture of cotton on a large scale in Egypt would make England and Egypt mutual customers—the one for the raw material, the other for the manufactured article, I\lr. Haywood, agent of the Cotton Supply Association, reports that the export in 1863 was 142,759 bales, showing an in crease in four years of 51,187 bales. He adds, that it appears to him that there is scarcely any limits to the productive powers of the country. Other parts of Africa are known to be equally well suited to the growth of the plant. But it is from Asia that England will derive her chief supply. China grows cotton in vast quanti ties, and by cultivating a trade with her in the ma nufactured article—a trade which, considering th population, would be immense—the British mane facturers may obtain as much of the plant as they desire from "the Central Flowery Land." It is with India, however, that England has the most direct interest in dealing, and from that country she will be able to obtain cotton to any amount, while she supplies the colony with the manufactured article suited to the climate. There is no longer any question as to a supply of cotton. It is only now a . question of price. While the Union remained in tact, and the American supply was not interfered with by war, it was the cheapest and the most rapid, while the quality was the best, and thus it obtained a preference. But now that the peace is broken, and war stops the supply for the present and ren ders it uncertain for the future, England is deter mined to open up other sources of supply, and the South may lose a customer to the amount of nearly 200,000,000 dols. per annum. For that custom " India is the favourite candidate," says an organ of British opinion, "and com bines, on the whole, the greatest number of re commendations. India possesses all the requisite conditions of soil, climate, cheap labour, and prac tised industry." The Hindoos have nothing to learn in the culture of the plant, for they have cultivated it from time immemorial, and 50 years ago they gave England more cotton than did the United States ; but in the cleaning of it they ate not so expert as Americans. And then the enormous cost of con veying it to port has kept it out of competition with the American staple ; but a system of rail , roads is about to be established through the inte rior of the country, which will remedy this diffi culty and open to Great Britain the wealth of her Eastern empire. It thus appears that England begins to feel that she can do without Southern cotton.

THE GENERALSHIP AT BULL RUN.—The follow ing opinion of General M'Dowell's tactics at the battle of Bull Run is given by a Southern newspaper, the Sentinel, published at Augusta, in Georgia :---‘, M‘Dowell arranged and fought the battle as well as any of Lincoln's generals, with their troops, could have done, not excepting General Scott.

"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, atter deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097 17s, led., wh ch is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. sd. above the am'•unt 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 (18611, "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquai•ited with the fact th t the Royal Insurance Com any 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 it. accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared in the Periodicals of the day, that it has targety 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 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 exceptionsa 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 detals of the Lire Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation."

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The North German Lloyd's screw steamer Bre men, Captain H. Wessels, arrived off Cowes at one o'clock this morning, with advices from New York to the 31st ult., and proceeded on to Bremen after transhipping mails, &c., for this port. She brought 36 passengers for Southampton and Havre, and 157 for Bremen, including Mr. Theodore Cauisius, Urited States Consul for Austria; and Mr. H. Boernstein, United States Consul for Bremen, with their families. The Asia, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 29th; and the Arago, from Southampton, was intercepted off Cape Race on the 30th. The Bremen spoke the following vessels—Sept. 2, in lat. 43.30 N., long. 57.16 W., the steamship Glasgow, for New York; Sept. 10, in lat. 49.37 N., long. 9.30 W., the English ship Cameron and the American ship Black Sea, both steering west. Washington news is interesting. " The vigorous awakening of the Government," says the New York Times— " Seem to be continued. No passes are granted to visit the rebel States. The enforcement of the 57th article of war is to be carried to the sweeping extent of preventing the publication of any infor mation anywhere concerning the movements, pro cess of increase, condition, or location of the army. No less than three members of the Cabinet will be absent to-day (the 31st)—Messrs. Seward, Came ron, and Bates." The same journal of the 24th ult. says— " From Washington it is reported that the War Department has strong evidence of the guilt of the female traitors recently arrested. The Secretary of the Treasury contemplates issuing an address in behalf of the national loans. It is stated on the au thority of an army officer that at least 16 of the enemy have been killed in skirmishing during the past week. It is now alleged that the Treasury De partment is cleared out of aisloyal clerks, and that many reported by Potter's Committee had been dis charged some time previous. The Navy Department has received intelligence that the East India squad• ron is en route for home; only one vessel will be left on the station. It appears that the Secessionists have been sending circulars inducing Southern officers in the navy to enlist under the seven starred flag. The Spanish Government has authorised the Governor of Fernando Po to receive a cer tain number of slaves frAn the United States' cruisers. The list of volunteer officers in the navy, accepted from the New York and Bos ton offices, is given in full. The practice of transferring land warrants in blank is to be broken up—the name of the assignee must here after b inserted." On the morning of the 29th the advanced posts of the army of the Potomac, under General Richard son, had a skirmish with the pickets of the enemy near Bailey's Cross-roads. The rebels were 200 strong, and the Union forces, though greatly infe rior in numbers, completely defeated them, killing a large number and taking several prisoners. The impression prevailed that the enemy intended there ann then to provoke a battle, but for that time, at least, the attempt failed (though it was probably only a feint), as their pickets were driven back gal lantly by the Government. forces. The rebels had erected a battery near Munson's hill, and were playing away with rifled cannon on the building's at Bailey's Cross-roads. It was thought, however, that this great activity on the part of the enemy was only a feint to withdraw attention from a movement of a large portion of their forces towards the Upper Potomac, where they intended to make a crossing into Maryland, at some place near Point of Rocks, and trusting to the insurrectionary spirit of that State, make a stand there, where provisions were plentiful, and thus place Washington between two rebel armies. Is appeared evident that they eO , ll/1 ro* longer maintain themselves in their position for want of supplies, and it was confidently believed in Wash ington that a great battle must of necessity take place within a few days. The Journal of Commerce of the 24th ult. has the following : "Notwithstanding all the assurances given of the safety of the capital it is in vain to deny that in regard to this there is of late some uneasiness in the public mind. To be sure, a very formidable body of troops is ready to oppose any advance on the part of the enemy, and under the vigorous measures and strict discipline enforced by General M'Clellan the United States army is ac quiring a high degree of efficiency. Our works are numerous and strong, thickly interspersed along the whole line of the Potomac for many miles. In the neighbourhood of Washington especially the preparations for defence are on such a scale of mag nitude that to attempt an assault with anything less than a well-appointed army of the first class would be the height of temerity and madness. Not withstanding all this, the evidence is positive that the Confederate States are concentrating in Vir ginia a force which might prove overwhelming if the Federal Government also were not making pro digious exertions to ensure its defeat. According to the latent report, brought to Washington by a gentleman just arrived from Richmond, via Louis ville, the rebel army in Virginia exceeds 300,000, of whom 180,000 are on the south bank of the Potomac. While it is possible this statement may be exaggerated, General Scott is not likely, in making his calculations for another movement, to allow much on this score. The Federal Comman der-in-Chief is said to have expressed a belief that an attack from the Confederate force was liable to take place on short notice and at no distant day. There are several circumstances which serve to strengthen this supposition. Not the least signifi cant is the extraordinary rigour with which all the army orders are enforced, especially those relating to correspondence with the enemy—the communi cation of anything in regard to military movements now being a capital offence. It is most remarkable that this course was not adopted at a much earlier day. Voluble correspondents of Northern news papers have been tolerated in the Federal camp up to a recent day, almost without restriction, and it augurs well for the cause that liberties of this sort are permitted no longer. The battle of Bull's Run took place July 21st, and the battle in Missouri, resulting in the death of General Lyon, August 10th. So much time having elapsed there is a pre valent expectation that the country is on the eve of another action, perhaps of a more decisive character." The remains of General Lyon was to arrive in New York at half-past two o'clock, on the 31st ult., from Philadelphia. A military guard was to be place over the remains at the City-hall, where they would remain in state until the following Monday, when they were to be removed under escort to their final destination in lots native town. A letter from St. Louis gives a melancholy account of the condition of affairs in Missouri " St. Louis, Aug. 27. " We have very troublesome times here at pre sent. The city of St. Louis is under martial law, and a great many persons are continually arrested for treason against the Government. There are about 60,000 troops here, and more are comin g every day. Th e y are fortifying St. Louis with large siege cannon and throwing up entrenchments, working day and night. In addition to this large wooden barracks are going to be erected to hold 50,000 soldiers. Since General Fremont has taken command of this military department business is conducted with despatch. " When this war is over Missouri will be one vast burying ground. The Confederates have an army in this State of 70,000 troops. They have laid the country waste; farmers are driven from their homes because they are in favour of the Union; they have to flee for their lives and leave everything behind at the mercy of the rebels. A great many of my friends were killed at the battle of Spring field, some in the Federal army, others among the Secessionists. " Jefferson Davis and that arch traitor Governor Jackson having found out that they cannot take Missouri out of the Union, are trying to lay the whole State waste with their army. The stores and private dwellings are stripped of everything by the rebels; they pretend to pay for it in State by Jackson, which are not worth one ce brought upon is what secession had States scrips ni sts. o in the Union." , uirsTish,uieosdnee one of the most prosperous Despatches from lllinois, announce the march of a body of rebels , numberi n g some 3,000, under General Martin Green , upon t he town of P a l m y ra , Missouri , on the mor ning of the 28th ult., and inasmuch as there were no Union troops stationed there they took quiet possession of the place. It appears that a train of cars on the Han nibal and St, Joseph Railroad, carrying a quantity of muskets for the troops stationed at St. Joseph, while approaching Palmyra on the same day, was fired into by the rebels, and immediately returned without damage to Hannibal. Details of the battle at Summerville, received by Governor Dennison, of Ohio, represented the loss of Colonel Tyler at 15 killed and 40 wounded. A large number of the 7th Ohio Regiment were scattered, but were expected to escape and rejoin their regiment. The surrender of Fort Fillmore, in Arizona, to the Texan Secessionists, according to the Masilla Times, proves to have been a most disgraceful and cowardly, if not criminally dishonest proceeding. It is stated that 11 companies of United States' troops, mounted and foot, mustering 700 effective men, surrendered to 280 Confederates four pieces . of cannon, army equipments, 200 cavalry horses, mules, and waggons, and 270 head of beef cattle. One hundred thousand dollars in specie, which the cashier of the branch of the Missouri State Bank at Fayette sent to Allen depot on the North N issouri Railroad for transportation to St. Louis, had been ecized at the latter place by a small force of Secessionists. Unlesa yae: succeeded in crossing the Missouri River with the treasure it would be recovered. A gentleman who arrived at Washington on the 29th from Richmond, via Louisville, stated that Manassas had been to a great extent abandoned, and the main force of the army moved to the Upper Potomac, where they intended to make a crossing, take possession of Maryland, and thus surround Washington and get possession of all the army stores and munitions lying there. He represented that the enthusiasm of the South knows no bounds since v Run, the reconstruction and that the people there the we r battle e e o nfi o d f e nto Bull's victory, the United States under a S ou th ern Pret,ident, and the permanent security and extension of the institution of slavery. The War Department at Washington had issued an important order, prohibiting all communication verbally, or by printing or telegraph, respecting the operations of military movements, either by land or sea, or relating to the troops, camps, arsenals, in trenchments or military affairs within any of the military districts, by which information should be given by the enemy, under the penalty prescribed by the 57th Article of War, which is death, or such other punishment as a court-martial shall impose. The Post-office Department had ordered the car rying of the mails in several portions of Kentucky, west of the Tennessee river, to be suspended in con sequence of the repeated violation of the same. We (Herald) have the best authority for stating that the rumours circulated in other quarters, to the effect that our Minister to England, Mr. Adams, has informed the State Department of the intention of the English Government to recognise the Confede rate States immediately, have not a shadow of foun dation. On the contrary, the latest official infor mation is that England and the other great Powers have determined to remain neutral until the close of the war. By order of the Secretary of the Treasury no clearances of goods will in future be allowed for Matamoros, Mexico. It was found that cargoes shipped to that port, containing material calculated to give aid and comfort to the rebels, could readily be, and indeed had been, sent across the Texan frontier without restriction. The latest news from New Mexico was per Santa Fe Express. The 750 United States' troops that surrendered to the Texans had been released on parole, the Texans retaining the horses of the cavalry and the arms of the infantry. Col. Canby had arrested Gen. W. Pelham and Col. Clemens at Santa Fe, they bin suspected of furnishing infor. mation to the Texan troops below El Paso. Col. Clemens took the oath of allegiance and was dis charged, but Gen. Pelham refused. Col. Canby had suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the territory, and abandoned and burnt Fort Stanton. Havannah, about the 15th of August, was visited with severe rains, and on the 19th experienced a slight shock of an earthquake. The Captain-General had returned from St. Domingo much displeased at the state of feeling there. It appeared that the Dominicans were not pleased with the new regime. The steamer Keystone State had called at Havannah on her way, looking up the pirate Sumpter. THE BRITISH .ASOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 12. The ordinary business of the association having been brought to an end yesterday, one day more has been devoted to a number of excursions in the neigh bourhood of Manchester to visit places of scientific interest. One of these was the Marston salt mine, near Northwich, one of the largest and most remarkable mines of the Cheshire Basin. The deposit, which occupies a limited space in the Triassic series, exists in more than one bed, alternating with coloured marls and gypsum. The structure of the salt masses is largely prismatic, the prism being verti cal. The salt is unequally mixed with marl, but some of it is quite clean. At Northwich the bed of rock salt now being worked is of considerable thickness, and is overlaid by another salt bed of inferior purity. Underneath, again, several salt beds exist which are too thin to be worked. A very large quantity of salt is obtained by evapora tion of the brine pumped up from the beds. Tire annual salt manufacture of Cheshire is estimated at 1,500,000 tons. There were also excursions to the great Man chester Waterworks at Woodhead ; to the glass and chemical manufactories at St. Helen's ; and to the ancient copper mines at Alderley-Edge. The extraction of rich metallic ores at this place, after having for a long period ceased, was resumed three or four years ago. The approach is by a very gentle cavernous descent, perfectly dry and clean, which was well lighted for the convenience of the visitors on this occasion. The lode of copper ore in the sandstone is from 40ft. to 60ft. wide. Another excursion was to the coal mines at Dukinfield, called the Astley Pits. The visitors were conducted by the engineer and manager of the colliery, and were also accompanied by Professor Phillips. They were shown the underground ma chinery, the mode of working the coal at an angle of 32 deg., or nearly 2ft. per yard, and the cutting from the Black Mine coal towards the Cannel Mine. In the latter a salt spring was met with, at a depth of 2,100 ft., in the carboniferous series. The brine is said to have contained 4.50 grains per cent. of chloride of sodium, 0.37 chloride of calcium, and 0.26 chloride of magnesium, or 7oz. of common salt per gallon. These coalpits are understood to be the deepest in Europe. One of the most interesting excursions, not only to geologists, but to the members generally, wet, to the coal mines at Worsley, and also the gardens of Worsley-hall, the seat of the Earl of Ellesmere. The coal shafts at Worsley ate approached by a vast network of subterranean canals. This, the first great work of the Duke of Bridgewater, led to the subse quent formation of the Bridgewater Canal, and hence, perhaps, may be regarded as the origin of the whole canal system of the country. The ladies and gentlemen who availed themselves of the noble earl's hospitable invitation to Worsley were favoured with fine weather, and the afternoon was very agreeably spent in strolling through the gardens, which are on a considerable elevation, affording an extensive prospect. Refreshments were provided beneath a small tent close to the hall, The Worsley band of the Duke of Lancaster's Own Yeo manry and the band of the Light Dragoons per formed on the terraces. The Earl and Countess of Ellesmere were present. Lord Derby is on a visit at Worsley-hall, but is now unfortunately confined to his room by indisposition. With the pleasant excursions which have occu pied to-day the proceedings of the great scientific congress of this year have come to a satisfactory termination. IRELAND. ~,,,,,, Since Sir Abraham Bradley Ll K N i , ng TH e U n ß te S r D t . a kY in . ed George IV., 40 years age, in " the King's-room," built expressly for the purpose, the Mansion-house never contained such an assembly as met there last night, at the ball given by the Lord Mayor, in honour of the Prince of Wales. The occasion was a memorable one, as it was the second time that the chief magistrate of Dublin had the honour of entertaining a member of the Royal family, and the first time that the Prince appeared at any public festival in Ireland. His Royal Highness having accepted the invitation of the Lord Mayor to a ball and supper at the Mansion-house, 2,500 ladies and gentlemen were invited to meet him, and nearly that number was present last night. For weeks the most extensive and costly preparations were made for the event. The result was most gratifying. All who witnessed the scene presented last night must admit that there is no exaggera tion in the glowing accounts given in the papers this morning, --that for numbers and rank, and for the splendour and magnificence of the hospitality dispensed, there has never been anything to sur pass it in Ireland. The following description, which I select for its brevity, does not exaggerate either the character of the preparations or the general effect : " It is impossible to speak too highly of the un ceasing care and attention which have been devoted for some weeks past to the arrangements for this occasion. Everything which taste could suggest and a lavish expenditure of money effect was done by his Lordship to provide for the comfort of his guests. The general supervision of the arrange ments was intrusted to Mr. John Martin, T.C., the courteous and able secretary of the Lord Mayor, and to his activity and energy must be attributed much of the success with which the ball was attended. The arrangements and decorations of the ball-room were carried out by Mr. Arthur Jones, of Stephen's-green, under whose direc tion the Round-room was completely transformed, and made to present an elegant and attractive appearance. The walls were covered by a beauti ful chintz, the design being a drawing of the grace ful hop blossom, the tendrils of which, climbing round a pillar, formed a handsome border. Eight large mirrors were placed round the walls, and contributed much to the general effect. A raised dais, covered with crimson cloth, was placed oppo site the entrance door, and was provided with a variety of couches and easy chairs for the accom modation of the Prince of Wales, the Lord-Lieute nant, and other distinguished guests. A marble vase filled with flowers stood at each side. The dais was surmounted by a canopy, draped with Utrecht velvet, and decorated with festoons of ex quisite Irish gold tissued poplins of various patterns, trom the looms of Atkinson and Co., of College green, the eminent firm of which the Lord Mayor is the principal. The pediment of the canopy sup ported the Royal Arms, above which there was a brilliant star, and at either side the letters V.R. were represented in cut glass. Flags displaying the city arms were suspended from the balcony over the dais, and a variety of other flags were displayed around the gallery. Over the principal entrance to the Ball-room (which as well as the door lead ing to the Supper-room was hung with a portiere of crimson silk:damask) was placed the coat of arms of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, with an illuminated margin, and at each side,of it were two of the most attractive features in the decoration of the apartments—viz., the Prince of Wales's plume and the Star of St. George, formed of glass prisms. These were brought over specially from London, and, combined with the other admirable arrange. ments for the.lighting of the room, had a charming effect. As the accepted invitations amounted to nearly 2,500, it was found necessary to provide ad ditional accommodation for so large a number. The entire suite of apartments was, therefore, thrown open on this occasion, and the Oak-room, in which supper has generally been served, was appropriated to dancing. A temporary supper room was erected in the garden, running parallel to the side wall of the Mansion-house, and 136 ft. long by 20 wide. This room was very tastefully decorated. It wag hung with various coloured chintz, and well lighted by gas, the branches springing from the columns that supported the roof and which were fluted in blue and white. The room terminated in a Turkish tent, arranged in an elegant and graceful style. A supper table was placed in the tent, at which the Lord Mai or re ceived the Prince of Wales, the Lord-Lieutenant, and a circle of distinguished persons. The guests commenced to arrive shortly after ten o'clock, and poured in in a continued stream until an advanced hour. Each lady on entering the ball-room was presented with a card programme of the dances, on the outer cover of which was a well-executed like ness of the Royal guest of the evening. About 11 o'clock H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Lord-Lieutenant, General Sir G. Browne, Gen. Bruce, Col. Keppel, and other members of their respective suites, arrived at the Mansion house, escorted by a troop of cavalry. from the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, where his Royal Highness had dined with the Commander of the Foices. A guard of honour was stationed at the Mansion house, over the door of which the words of the old Irish greeting, " Cead Mille Failte," were displayed in illuminated characters. The Royal party were received by the Lord Mayor, and at once conducted to the Ball-room, the band of the 15th Hussars, which with Kelly's string band was stationed in the gallery, playing the National Anthem. As the Prince, who on his arrival was loudly cheered by an immense crowd which assembled in Dawson street, passed through the room to the dais, a murmur of applause rose from the crowded assembly. Dancing was then com menced. His Royal Highness, who wore the uni form of an officer of the Guards, opened the ball by dancing a quadrille with Lady Emily Peel, the Lord-Lieutenant and Lady Barbara Leeson being their vis-a-vis. Sir Robert Peel and Miss Lascelles, Mr. Cockerell, A.D.C.. and Miss Williams danced in the same set. Polka, waltz, and galop followed in succession, and dancers and promenaders seemed to enjoy themselves to the - utmost." At one o'clock the Lord Mayor conducted the Royal party to supper, after which the dancing was resumed. His Royal Highness danced with the Hon.
