The Assured or Members are the only r arties interested in the runds of this Institution, which now amounts to uowards of THREE MILLIONS STERLING. The Society's claims to public confidence and support are grounded Mainly on the sound and equitab , e principles of its constitution, and on the care and success with which its operations have been con ducted from their commencement up to the present time. • While the Premiums are not hither than those require I be many Other Offices, the Society does not pretend to compete with those Which hold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the lowest which are rompati , ile with safety, or as being based on what Is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM." There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Proti s of the Society, are the only parties who derive benefit from the rates being more than what are found from time to time to be required to meet the actual risks-; and the result of past allocations of Surplus Profits has been such that in the else of all the earlier Policies, which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts Paid to the representatives of deceased Members have been MORE Taal" DOUBLE TIIE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED. In cases whezef;nily provision is the sole object this result cannot fall to be considered as of the most satisfactory nature ; while in other instances where the part es are desirous of securing benefit from the Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the zonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the alternatives practicable under the laws of the office hive been cam rnenstirate In degree. In many cases, in consideration of an ahan dontnent of the reversionary claia s for Bonus Additions alread de clared, such parties have either received large payments in PRESENT CASH, Or have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROM FURTHER PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remaining ent tied to partici- Pate in future allocations of the profits. Illustrations of the application of Bonus on either of the ,footings above referred to are contained in the Society's Prospectu.es, which, - together with Forms of Proposal, &c , may be had on application at the Heal Office, or to any of the Agents in the three kingdoms.

O'Malley, to be acting assistant-surgeon to the Childers. A Chelsea hoard of officers assembled at Brempton barracks yesterday for the purpose of examining a large number of sick and wounded men from the Crimea, who from the nature of their wounds were considered to be unfit for further service. Ou the couclusion of the in. spection 65 non-commissioned officers and men were ordered to hold themselves is readiness to be discharged from the service.

The senior officers of the British fleet entertained their gallant brethren of the Imperial French navy on Thur.:day night, at the Royal Naval Colleg e, in Ports mouth Dockyard, which w a s b e autif u lly decorated for the occasion. Flags of all nations were.suspended from the walls of the college, and there was an ample supply of garlands and bouquets. Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Comma, der in -Chief, presided, and many dis tinguished naval officers, English and foreign, were pre sent. After toa s t s t o th e Queen, the Emperor, and the Empress of the French, the Prince Imperial, the King of the Netheria,ds, and the Dutch Navy, Sir R. Dundee proposed Admiral de la Graviere and the deputation from the French Navy, which was re ceived with very great enthusiasm. Admiral de la Graviere returne I thanks, and proposed a toast to the health of the Eog , ish Army and Navy. In doin , so, the gallant colonel eulogised the conduct of the English navy, and said that, although the war just ended hal not been a maritime war, yet that the s tilor engage I in it had everywhere done their duty. Both in the Baltic and in the Black Sea the naval force of England and France had performed their duty in such a manner as to insure for themselves an honourable place in the annals of that memorable war, and at the same time perpetuate the recollection of the union of the two flags. The navy had always been ready to per form anything that had been required of it. Admiral de is Graviere took a review of the various gallant ex ploits which had been pert .rrned, and said that the blue jackets of the two nations had exhibited no other rivalry than that inspired by the love of country and veneration for their respective flags. Other toasts appropriate to the occasion were given with much cordiality. The members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club gave a ball last night at the Club-house, Ryde, to the com manding officers of the gun-boat flotilla, which was bril- - liantly attended by about 400 guests, among wham were some of the officers of the French corvette, who went over from Portsmouth after the naval banquet in their honour at Portsmouth.

THE LATE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN FINSBURY.— Yesterday Mr. Baker held an investigation at the Castle Tavern, Sun•street, Finsbury, respecting the deaths of Rosa Gallendi, aged three years ; Julia Gallendi, aged one year and eight months; and Sarah Gallendi, aged two months. The deceased, who were described as re markably fine children, were left alone in a, room by their mother, in which was a lighted fire, on Thursday last, and on her return in about half an hour smoke was issuing from the crevices of the door. Some of the neighuours, at great personal risk, managed to extricate the children from the burning room, but all three were dead. Their clothes were not burned, or even scorched, and it was clear that they had died of suffocation. The evidence, though taken at great length, did not throw any light upon the cause of the fire, which, according to the statement of one of the firemen, seemed to have originated in a cupboard near the fireplace. The coroner baying summed up, the jury after some consultation, returned a verdict to the effect that the three children were suffocated in consequence of the fire breaking out, but that bow the said fire was occasioned there was not sufficient evidence to prove. . .- " ' .0( • .4 9 4 / o '7 4l-frii ..

By the•arrival of the shiphieroury at Torbay we have received the following report of. the los, and sub.equent painful suffering] of the crew, of the bark Blake of Liverpool : "The British bark Blake, Captain Edward Rudolf, sailed from Ship Island harbour, 'Mississippi, with a cargo of pitch and pine deals, bound to Cork for orders. She sailed on Bth of February, with a fine, fair wind and good weather, aad was in good trim and fine order, and -with every hope' of making a'good and prosperous pas sage. The weather continued fine, and she made nice pro gress on her way, sighting Bermuda on the 18th after leaving port, the ship tight and in fine order. -0e the 4th day of ,March the weather began trrchange ; commenced with rainy, squally weather. sth. It hauled to S.W., blowing a strong gala and a heavy sea running. Finding the ship making a little water, the pumps werti attended to every watch. 6th and 7tb.—The gale increasing, and sea running very high and crossed ; wind blowing from N.W. to W.N.W., causing the ship to labour heavily, and kept one puns') constantly going, the ship running under double-reefed main and close-reefed foretopsails and foresail, Bth and 9th.—Gale still con tinuing, and veeiing - more to northward, with very heavy squalls and a tremendOus cross sea, causing her to labour, and straining her awfully. Both pumps were kept constantly at work, ship running under close reefed maintopsail and reefed foresail. Tried to forereach her under the two close-reefed topsails, but., not succeeding, were ultimately obliged to run her; found the ship mak ing water fast and it gaining upon us, there being 3 fiet water in the hold. 10th and lltb.—Gale still continu ing, and squalls more violent, attended with hail and snow, and -very cold ; the water gaining rapidly on the pumps, there being nine feet of water in the hold. 12th.— Blowing a terrific gale from W.N.W., with a very heavy sea running, 13 feet of water in the hold, and men worn out, having been at the pumps constantly for 3 days and nights, without sleepingorrest of any sort. Th e wa t er was rising fast, the ship getting heavy and difficult to steer. At 6 p.m. she broached to and shipped a heavy sea, which carried away the man at the wheel, the binnacle, skylights, life and jolly boats, and all the bulwarks. Took the foresail in and rounded her to under a close reefed maintopsail, when the sheet parted, and the sail blew away. She lay very broad to the sea, which made a clean breach over her, carrying away the spars on deck, watercasks, galley, long boat, topgallant fore castle, and breaking in the poop, which washed away the cabin, and everything off deck. Got the main trysail set, and tried to get forward to cut away the foremast, but found it impossible for a soul to get there. The ship was now lying water-logged, it blowing a terrific gale, with very violent squalls, and the sea making a clean breach over her, all bands clinging to the weather rigging and in the maintop, everything being washed away from the maindeck. 13tb. —Blowing a terrific hurricane, with heavy squalls of h a il, s l ee t, an d snow , from N.Tr., and fearfully cold. At 11 a.m. were struck with a terrific squall and a tremendous sea at the same time, which capsized the ship. washing away seven men, poop deck, and bursting up the main deck, washed off all Vile batches, and carrying off every morsel of provi sions there was on board the ship. The ship lay in this state about two hours, while the hurricane blew, the re mainder of the crew nearly perishing with the piercing cold, when she carried away all the three lower masts at the heads and bowsprit at the stem, and slowly righted. Having a list, it formed a little shelter from the cold under the weather-poop bulwarks aft, where we were obliged to hold on and make ourselves fast, to prevent being washed away by the sea that was con• stantly breaking over us. In this sad and miserable position we were obliged to remain until the 18th, the gale still continuing and the sea breaking over 113 (lat. about 43 15 N., long. 38 30 W.), and unable t move rom our position for fear of being washed away, be. fog five days without a morsel of food or a drink of water, without rest, and constantly drenched by the sea. 19th.—Gale and sea more moderate ; at the risk of our lives we attempted to get forward for water, and suc ceeded, but spoiled this ca-k of water in the attempa This day one of the seamen died from cold, hunger, and fatigue ; we put him overboard. In the afternoon the gale began to moderate ; got some pieces of canvass to lie upon, and all huldled together in a heap to keep ourselves warm. 20th.—This being the seventh day without anything to eat, I caught a half drowned rat, which I immediately cut up and shared out to each one; it was a delicious morsel. The weather was still very rough and cold. 21st.---The eighth day ; we were able to get forward and get a small cask of water from the hold, and rolled it aft, and lashed it to the stauncheon, this being the only thing we had to depend upon. Ninth Day.—No sail cou!d yet be discerned upon the horizon, all eyes being daily and nightly stretched to catch a glimpse of some friendly sail. Hunger now began to tell heavily upon us all, and its ravages were plainly discerned. Tenth Day. —What a joyous sound was heard this morning, as the watch, at daylight, cried, ho !' and two vessels were seen, and every heart leaped with joy, but only to meet a heavier di-appointment. The two vessels passed, one to windward and the other to leeward without tak ing any notice of us. Oh, this disappointment was heart breaking ! with starvation staring us in the face, and the cries and the moans of the men around me calling on their God to help them ; with their glaring eyes and emaciated forms looking so pitifully towards me, as if I could assist them. The scene was awful and horrible, and cannot be described by my pen ; and in my situa tion I had to hold up against everything to sustain them, that they might not give way to it. Mail times I had to set my heart as hard as iron, to bear up against their cries and appeals to me, as to what they should do, when I could have lain down and given way to grief and sorrow far deeper than themselves. To see those men, once so strong and robust, and now nothing better than moving skeletons I To hear them smacking their lips and dreaming of being at some friendly table eating and enjoying themselves, as they would fall off into some of their dozing sleeps from fatigue, only to be awakened by the wash of a sea to b e h o ld their deplorable fate ; then their cries and moans would be heartwrending. They by this time began to get flighty, from weakness, and sores were breaking out all over us, from being con stantly wet with salt water, In this way we continued until the 13th day, when we saw another vessel pass and take no notice of us. The wailing and moaning upon this day are too awful to be described. Thirteen days without a morsel of food of any kind to put to our lips ! Another seaman died this day of starvation. We did not put him overboard, but reserved his corpse for our own use, and in this state we lingered for four days more, living off the body of our dead companion ; but I must say very sparingly indeed, for the thoughts of it were almost as bad as death itself. Through these four awful days I do not see how we ever lived, not having a dry place to lie, and the sea continually wash ing over us ; and as some of us would drop off in our dozing state, dreaming of feasting, and be awakened in a few minutes by the wash of a sea, then, coming to a sense of their situation, and the dead body of their com rade swinging in the pale moonlight, the cries and moans of the men were appalling. Oa Saturday, the 29th of March, we bore the heaviest and greatest disappoint ment--a large ship passing us about two miles to windward, and not seeing us, it being too early in the morning This was the 17th day since we capsized, and had nothing to eat but the dead- body of our comrade, none af us hardly able to move from weakness and fatigue, and all our hopes gone. I laid myself down when the ship passed us, shut my eyes, and gave up all hopes of ever seeing land again, and was about resigning myself to my fate, when about two hours after I heard cries of joy from all of 'Sail, ho! sail , he!' repeated in such a strain as will never be erased from my memory while on this earth. She proved to be the schooner Pigeon, Captain W. S. Knight, of St. John's, New. foundland. It blowing a strong gale from W.S.W. at the time, and a good sea on, they bad some difficulty in removing us from the wreck, owing to our weak, miser able state. Our clothes, on being taken off, were com pletely rotten, being so long wet. We could pick them all off by pieces. "The following is a list of the crew:— "Survivors.—Wynne Dugan, mate, of Swansea ; James Cosgrove, second mate, of Liverpool ; John Geo. Rudolf, third mate, of Halifax ; John Petersen, seaman, of Trieste ; Joseph Barber, seaman, of Genoa ; John Kieren, seaman, of Germany; and William Thomas, cook, of Halifax.

LAUNCH OF THE GIEN-BATTERY TERROR.—SHIELDS, Thur-day Night.—The monster floating battery, built by Messrs. Palmer Brother, of Jarrow, was launched on the Tyno this evening, in the presence of a large con course of spectators from Newcastle, Gateshead, Shields, and the neighbouring towns. She is exactly of the same proportions a 3 her companion ships, launched by Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, and Messrs. Samuda Brothers, of London. She is 2,000 tons burthen, and though, as her name implies, she is an u gly-looking mon ster, as strong as wood and iron can make her. The loose plates used in her construction have been made in the Parkgate Works, Yorkshire, and though only com menced with in the early part of January last, she has been launched a week before the time contracted for her delivery, the Ist of May. About 900 workmen have been employed in her construction, and she will be ready to be despatched to Sheerness in a day or two, .7 - . SATIAD AT LONDON-, From the London. Gazette of Last Night.

SIR PETER LAURIE AND THE PEACE, (Front the. Morning Advertiser.) When Queen , Caroline, wife :of George the Fourth, came to England to claim her rights, her Majesty who, _though a very injured woman, was very far from a virtuous one, was the heroine of the mobs that paraded London, and forced all to shout and light up for her. One of these mobs, if our memory serves us, collected in Hanover-square, in front of the Earl of.Harewood's. His lordship was summoned to the balcony to.give three cheers for her Majesty. His lordship complied with the best possible grace, took off his hat, bowed to the people, and cried at the very top of his voice, Hurrah, my boys, the Queen for ever, and may all your wives be like her !" Sir Peter Laurie has suggested to our recollec tion this little historical incident,, having lately been calling, at a Common Hall, in a most uncom mon manner, for cheers for the French Emperor. The occasion for this manifesto or manifestatio❑ from Sir Peter, was, strange to say, a meeting held in the City to oppose what the Cabinet have the 'face to call their Corporation .Eteform Bill. That occasion, of all others, was seized by Sir Peter for declaring that he was delighted with the peace, and very, much obliged to the Emperor of the French for having imposed it on us ! To Sir Peter's unbounded satisfaction at the peace we have nothing whatever to say. If Sir Peter is pleased that our men and millions have been lavished to damage the prestige of England, and patch up a truce for Russia, he is at liberty to do so. There is no accounting for tastes, and Sir P. Laurie's has, at all events, the merit of singu larity. But, setting aside his pacific gusto, Sir Peter's enthusiasm for the Emperor of the French' seems as much out of place as season. Why was Sir Peter at the meeting t Was it not to fight tooth and nail against the Corporation Re form Bill ? Was it not to denounce with all his strength the pernicious principle of centralisation ? Was it not to uphold, as the palladium of our liberties, municipal rights and privileges ? We rather fancy it was. .;\ ow, the Cabinet of Lords, and Lord Palnierston especially, are, as well as Sir Peter Laurie, admirers of his Imperial Majesty. Nay, they not only ad mire, but they serve him, and they imitate him— when they can. His Imperial Majesty is the very incarnation of the principle of centralisation, and Lord Palmer ston's Government clutches every opportunity for pushing centralisation in England. The base of his Imperial Majesty's system is his secret police and gendarmerie, and Lord Palmerston is trying to foist his police and gendarnierie upon the country. In his Corporation Reform Bill, Lord Palmerston again obsequiously apes his Majesty ; the Emperor distrusting and detesting Corporations, and putting .them down iu France. He has taken from them the election of their mayors, and elects those mayors himself. He has forced his Court of Cassation to deeide that only such - Municipal Councillors as his Prefects choose shall be voted for. And, if his Majesty is happily spared to reign many years ill France, he will certainly have nominated every member of every municipal body in it. The Bri tish Government, therefore, which Sir Peter Laurie opposes with all his might and main, is applying to London the system of the Emperor whom Sir Peter so cordially applauds. But, perhaps, Sir Peter Laurie will say that the Imperial regime is good enough for the French, though not good enough for the English. If Sir Peter will not say so, probably he thinks so, and a very great number do say so. This,, though a compliment to the French Emperor, is marvellously like a downright insult to the whole French people. It declares to Frenchmen, in so mai)) , words,— " We are vastly superior to you ; we can govern ourselves—you cannot ; you are not fit for liberty ; you are' slaves and wear wooden shoes.'" Those who think and talk in this way talk also dile "French Alliance." They are nervous be pond measure at the bare idea of endangering " the' happy union." But what is that alliance, and what are the securities for the . " happy 'union" in question ? Is the alliance of England with one man or with thirty-five millions ? With a great race and a great land, great in name and fact for cen turies, or the accident of a day, or rather of a night, that got possession of power by conspiracy, and only retains it by force ? The French Empe ror is not the French people, and the servile adu-, lation of the Emperor in England is felt by the people as an insult. It is that which endangers the alliance. A " happy union" must be one of affection as well as of common interest ; and no union cau be happy or lasting with France which is based on contempt for the French. They have been free before, and they will be free again, and there are strong proofs that they resent now, and may seek to avenge then, the gross affront expres , sed, or implied, that they are not fit for freedom. THE FALL OF EARS. (From the Times of this day.) The fall of Kars will become the subject of re newed discussion on Monday next. It is a proof of the deep impression which this disaster has made that the memory of it survives even the conclusion of peace and the re itora.',ion of the lost territory. It is the plausible argument of many persons that no good can come of examining into events which are past and gone. Kars cannot be saved, the campaign of Mingrelia cannot be refought by any debates in Parliament or any inquiries at Chelsea. Why, then, it may be said, resume a fruitless dis cussion which cannot change events, and may only degenerate into an angry and tedious controversy? But the common sense and right feeling of the country have strongly pronounced against such reasoning. For the sake of the future—for the honour of t'ie men who bores part in the ing struggle, and who are only now to be restored to their country and friends—let us have a full examination even of past events and disasters, which are Row irremediable. Justice demands such a course, and no shortsighted seeking for imme diate results should induce the country to err from it. It is evident that the alleged reasons for the fall of Kars may be divided into two heads. The first relates to the corruption of the Turkish autho rities, the want of doe preparation for a campaign, and the neglect of General Williami by the Bri tish Ambassador. The second has to do with affairs subsequent to the investment of the place, the obstacles said to be opposed to Omar Pasha, the bad choice of a point of operations, and the supposed treachery of the commander at Erze roum. We have before given an opinion that when Mouravieff had invested the city, when summer was passing away, and provisions were already running short at Kars, all efforts would probably have been unavailing for a rescue. The place was virtually lost, and, though mistakes may have been committed which subsequent criticism can expose, we ought not to seek the causes of the calamity in the period immediately before its occurrence. How ever all parts of the history will receive a due examination ; it is better, therefore, once more to recur to the earlier events, and point out the de pendence of each incident on those which went before it. The first months of General Williams's service in Armenia were passed, as we all know, amid the insolence and of the Turkish officials, who were not checked in their shameful course by any remonstrances on the part of those who should have supported the British General. Into the re lations between the Commissioner and Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe it is not our purpose again to enter. Enough has been said on the subject to enable the public to form a judgment with accura c y. The reports current on the matter have been 'fully confirmed by the blue-book lately published. It may be taken for gra nted, then, that for som e reason on which we cannot speculate General Williams, in curred the dislike of the British representative at Constantinople—the man who from his position and his long residence in the East could most effectually aid him or hinder him in his endeavours. The tacit acknowledgment of Ministers, of political par tisans, of personal acquaintances, has fully admit ted the unworthiness of the Ambassador's conduct, and there is nothing more to be said on the subject. All that remains is to inquire what influence this neglect had on the actual results of the campaign. It is, of course, natural to say that the disputes complained of took place in the winter which pre ceded the siege, and that for some time before Kars was invested the interchange of angry despatches had ceased. But we think that such a defence will not bear examination. General Williams arrived in Armenia in September, 1854. At that time the Turkish army was entirely disorganised. Five battles had been lost within seven months by a succession of incapable and profligate commanders. The soldiers were without pay, without clothing, often without food. The Russians were known to be making great efforts for another campaign. Men and materials were brought not only through the Caucasus, but from Astrachan to the western ports of the Caspian. It will not be supposed that for , what General Williams bad to do there was too I much time. We know that in this rich and civi- ~~~ ra,~, °~~~.~ ris.PER 77 . 1‘, .17) ''--- 1. - a S lised country, with so m uc h gen i us and: sd'inaUS, resources, it is Recessary to begin in autumn the - preparations - ilfoi a campaign - in the ensuing .- spring. Even Bi rm i ng h am au d W oo l w i c h cannot . . extemporise weapons and material; nor can the most hardworking officars turn raw recruits into soldiers in less than a given time. Genenal Williams, without ' any legitimate power but that of advice, had to reform the Generals, ro t construct the army, purify the administration, and provision the fortresses of two 'important and remote provinces. Can it be said thatif; through the neglect ,or ill-will of any man, five months were lost, and the season of activity returned with out the season of intermission having been fitly used, the person who was the cause of this delay is not responsible for the baste and unreadiness of-811118e quent proceedings? But from general considerations we may descend to facts. Kars, it is well known, fell by famine, and not by assault. On on e occas i on only did the Russian General attack those well planned forts, the construction and defenee of which are such an honoiir to British officers, He was re pulsed with slaught3r. It can hardly be denied chat if the place had been well provisioned it would probably have l eel... held through the entire win' or . Nay, it is almost ctrtain that if Motravieff had not known that famine was doing his work within the walls he would have retreated. after ' the . great as sault of September. , Now, Gen. Williams had la boured almost from the beginning at the collection of supplies. _His . hief oldt ct in d siring the att:4a ment of Turkish military rank and the acknowledg ment of his official position was that he might pre pare the defence of the two fortresses of Erzeroum and Kars. Yet, owing to the neglect of his remon strances at Constantinople, it was not till February. the 25th, after. he had been five months in the coun try, that he obtained his first victory over his oppo nents and the recognition of his personal authority through the exertions of Load Clarendon. Then it was ‘that he was enabled to 'begin - all that ought to have been done during the vtinter. The results of the delay are at once ev id en t, O n April 'the 20th Colonel Lake informs the General that, though . it is expedient to call the Ardahan detach ment into Kars, it is impoSsible to do so, owing to the great scarcity of food in the place. "There are • he says, " only 15 da ys ' .prov i s i on i n store for the troops now in garrison." General Wil liams is found at once actively engaged in supplying these deficiencies. Four days after the date of Co lonel Lake's letter ho writes to Lord Clarendon —"Neither land carriage for the at Kars nor the provisions for that force are to be bad in suffi cient quantities, and I have this day received in telligence from Colonel Lake drawing my atten tion to these points, and 'echoing the prayers I have in vain addressed during the winter to Constanti nople." He then tells how he is usingevery effort to obtain grain in the neighbourhood, and repre sents, that "it is absolutely necessary that the Go vernors of Diarbekir, Kharpoot, and the more re mote provinces -should be ordered to forward provi sions." It must be remembered that summer had now begun, and the Russian armies were already in tke field. Thenecessity for immediate and energetic action was every day more evident. On the Ist of May—little more than a month before Mouravieff appeared at Kars—Gen. Williams again addres:ei tue Ambassador, and this despatch is the best an swer to those Who would divest the conduct of Lord Stratford of all influence in the fate &Kars. " Several weeks ago," writes the Commissioner, " I addressed your lordship-01i the necessity of my having authority to =rah active part in the pur chase, of provisions for this army ; but, although Lord Panmure has expressed his decided sentiment on this vital point, I have not received a line in al lusion to it from your Excellency, and I have to state that this• army cannot be supplied with pro visions without I can control those who have this matter iu their hands. ColOnel Lake informs me that the provision has dwindled down to ten or twelve daj s' supply, and I have not authority to oblige the Medjlis to expedite fool to our force,' which I May soon have to designate as a starving army." All the comment that we have to make on this despatch is that it seems to have been treated like so many of. its predecessors. . There is in the blue-book no answer from Lord Stratford de Red cliffe. t, i~ L. Now, however, we have tolearn what an earnest man can. do. On ihe 7th. of Atty _nothing had reached Kars 2 • but by unceasing t a w tions General Williams had_ two days befdre sett off a supply from Erzerouw, and flout this tithe 'the stock steadily increases. .on,the Motif June there are. nearly four months' provisions Liu liars; Thus, in the space of foitr- weeks the Commissioner, by his personal influence; was able'to 'provis ion the chief stronghold of the country and prepare for a defence which may vie with the noblest deeds . n history. We may now ask F what would have be e n th e resu lt if G enera l Wil -1 liams had been acknowledged, upheld, encouraged, from the time he landed in Asia, in Sept., 1854 ? Suppose that, instead of commencing his prepara • tions in March or April, he had had fair powers of control six months before, can may one believe that the. disaster of Kars would have occurred at' all? May. it not, on the contrary, be fairly presumed that the Turkish army, welt disciplined, well fed, and under competent Ladership, would have won dtstiuction even in offensive warfare ? Whatever discussion may arise as to subsequent events— whatever judgment may be passed on the foresight of the allied Governments or the skill of the Cri mean Generals—one great fact Must still stand conspicuous —that Kars fell by famine, and that famine would have been avoided had not a merito rious British officer received neglect and contumely at the hands of those who should have been fore most to uphold him. THE NEW LOAN.—A strong desire is expressed that if t'le Government have decided upon the amount of new loan to be proposed they will make it pub la as soon as possible. It was generally ru.noured in the city yesterday afttrncon that the intention is to rais3 10,000,0001. in Consols and to fund -6 ,000,0001, of _ Ex chequer-bills. IT this should provecorrect, it will be evident that the attempt to preserve secrecy on the point bas fal.cl, and that the only safe plan in such matters is to give them general publicity at the earliest possible moment. IMPERIAL LOMBARDO-VENETIAN AND CENTRAL ITALIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. —A full prospectus of this company, the concession for which has been granted to the various firms of the house of Roth-child and other capitalists in Austria, France, Italy, and Elogland, has just been issued. It states that the Lontbardo-Venetian conces sion comprises 437 kilometres, constructed by the Stat", extending from Casarsa to Milan and Como in an unin terrupted line, with the exception of a break of 37 kilo metres between Bergamo and Monza. Also, 355 ki'o metres to be constructed by the ooiupany, which inc a le the above link between B rgatn and Mintz t, a line to connect Casarea with the Trieste and Vienna Railways, and a direct communication from Novara, on the Sar dinian frontier, via Milan and Lodi, to Piacenza. There will alsa be connecting links between Milan and Sesto Caleude, on Lake Maggiore, and Milan and Pavia. Of the lines already constructed the company are to take possession any time before the beginning of next year, and they are to be worked on account of the company from the lst of next month. The capital required for the purchase and construction of the whole is 6,000,0001., of which the London amount apportioned to Baron Lionel de Rothschild and Messrs. Laing and I7zielli is under stood to be 1,200,000/. The concession is for 90 year, with a guarantee from Austria of 5 2.loths per cent. for interest and amortissemcnt. The Central Italian conces sion is to comprise a continuation line from Piacenza, via Parma, Reggio, Modena, and B ilogna, to Pistoja, where a junction will be formed with. the Tuscan rail= ways to Florence and Leghorn. This concession com prises 280 kilometres, and is to be met by an issue of obligations' carrying a guarantee f rom A ustria equal to more than 7 per cent. These obligations are to be no minally of 500 f: each, but are to be issued at - 270f., with 15f. per a- num interest from the let of May (equal to 5i per cent.), and are to be reimbursable at par by an nual drawings spread over 90 years. One obligation is to be allotted with every two shares. The amount to be paid on the 201. shares is 01., and no further call is expected for a year or a year and a-half. The payment to the Austrian Government for the existing railways is to be male by an instalment of 666,000/. in three months after taking possession, and five yearly instalments of 3 33,0001. front that date without interest. An addi tional 1,000,000/. is also to be paid after tho end of that term out of half the net profits exceeding 7 per cent. Even the present unconnected sections now at work are yielding enough to insure a comparatively high dividend on the small amount of capital to be expended on them during the first years, and the greatest confidence is ex pressed as to the results to be looked for when the various routes shall be completed, bringing the whole system into connection with - Vienna, Munich, Florence, Leghorn, Turin, and Genoa. The entire system of the c)rnpany w ill consist of 281 miles of existing railway and of 393 miles of new railway, making in all 682 miles.
