Shipway had the best place, and took a slight lead, which he soon increased to twojengths.

Volunteers from the country districts having occasion to Visit London, either for pleasure or business, would be en titled +lea •1 to make the Aldershot Club-house their home or 4- quarters during their stay, and would thus partici foale, with gentlemen resident near London, in the advan tages provided by the establishment. An important feature of this plan is the economy of honey well as time, for although many Volunteers are per k, us of independence, and can afford the expenses which are kseparable from isolated movements, there are others to Whom the advantages offered will be a graceful and accept able boon. Two lines of railway from London adjoin the s elected ground at Aldershot, and will carry the Volunteers a l once to the spot in an expeditious manner, as cheaply and riots y idl indeed as they can be take to many subur ban ; and a network of railways, II connected with the Ties referred to, renders the transit from all parts of Eng land to this now famed Governmant Camp facile and coro llate.

Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

The success of the Company, even in its earliest years, received the marked atteruion, and elicited the surprised comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. "Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851. "Life Premiums for 1860 EXCEED the Entire Life Pre miums for the EIGHT YEARS ending . 1852. "Purchase of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the similar receipts for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "This prog - ress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering that it applies to each of the three branches of the business." FIRE BRANCH. "The Fire Branch has certainty shown no exhaustion dur ing the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously brought it to a position of the first magnitude among the Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire Premiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £228,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of £262,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 128. &1., ex ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in two years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en hanced by the enormous sum of £66,829175. sd. " The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to Government for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of the business in a more prominent way, as it affords the means of comparison with other Companies. The Proprietors will be gratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other Company, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad vance of this Comp lily. Our increase actually equals 30 per cent. of the entire increase of the whole of she Metropolitan Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up wards of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the other 2S offices established out of London, LIFE BRANCH. "The Reports of the Company for several years have had invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its Life Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year show ing an advance over the one that had immediately preceded it. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ne. , , £15,097 17s, led., 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 wh i c h has beengiven to this Branch of the Business in the present year (1861). "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact that the Royal Insurance Company had published late in the last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and Liabilities of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in as plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the subject admitted, together with the entire statements and valuations necessary for that purpose. " It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam phlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared in the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the attention of vast numbers of Persons in all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case is afforded by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies in the six months to the 3d June of the present year is ac tually 50 per cent. in excess of the sum assured in the corres ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount in itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period of time "If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business, be at once planed (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 Life Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation."

Although the room was opened on Saturday, in order to afford an opportunity for collecting the outstanding Good wood accounts, and for the Brighton settling, yet, from the many "balance-sheets" which were mill displayed, it was evident that the business of paying , ana receiving was far from concluded. Complaints of the tardiness with which the Goodwood and other accounts have been "squared'' were almost general, and it is to be hoped that next year the original Goodwood settling day—the Monday after the racss—will be restored. The inconvenience which has been experienced by " appropriating" it to Lewes races has ex cited much wellfounded dissatisfaction. To-day several of the principal bookmakers were absent, having departed for Wolverhampton, whilst many "gentlemen speculators" were off to the moors. Business, therefore, made little pro gress. Indeed, the leading topic of conversation through out the afternoon was the unsatisfactory nature of the Goodwood settling.

This was an action of slander. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Joseph Browne, were counsel for the defendant. The cause was commenced on Saturday, and ad journed until: yesterday. The plaintiff carries on the business of a butcher at Epsom, and the de fendent is a medical gentleman living at the same place, in extensive practice, and who it ap peared, was also medical officer to the Royal Medical Benevolent College at Epsom, an institu tion appropriated to the reception of the children of decayed members of the medical profession, and others, and generally averaging about 150 pupils. The plaintiff, it appeared, had obtained the con tract to supply the college with meat, and the slander complained of consisted in a statement made by the defendant to Mr. Gibbs, the steward of the establishment, which was to the effect that the plaintiff supplied the establishment with exceed. ingly bad meat, and that " he bought his legs of mutton by the yard, and was almost hooted from the market in consequence of the description of meat he was in the habit of purchasing." The steward, it appeared, expressed his opinion that the meat supplied by the plaintiff was exceedingly good and the plaintiff himself was called as a witness, and he swore that there was no truth in the allega tions that he had supplied bad meat to the college, and asserted that the whole of it was according to his contract. It should be explained that the de fendant was not alleged to have made the state ment complained of, of his own knowledge, but he merely stated that the fact had been reported to him, and he therefore, having regard to his position in connection with the establishment, felt it his duty to mention the matter in order that it might be investigated. The defence set up to this action was, that the statement complained of was a privileged commu nication, and the defendant in his evidence stated that he was informed by a gentleman named Steele who was a governor of this college, that he had heard that the meat supplied to this establishment was not according to the contract, the communica tion being made in the exact terms in which he afterwards stated to the steward, and he felt it his duty to mention the subject in order that some change might be made if the complaint was well founded. He also said that he was the more induced to take this step from the fact that there had been a few cases of illness among the boys, which he could not account for otherwise than by the meat that had been supplied to them not being so good as it ought to have been, but he at the same time explained that he did not suggest that the meat was in itself bad or unwhole some, but that it was rough and coarse, and these boys being delicate were unable to eat it. Mr. Steele, the gentleman referred to, confirmed the statement made by the defendant. Mr. Chambers submitted to the court, at the close of the case for the plaintiff that there was no evr deuce to go to the jury, and that the defendant in his position as medical officer of the establishment in question was perfectly justified in bringing such a matter before the proper authorities of the insti ',ution. Mr. justice Williams said he was of opinion that the objection was a good one, but in ()icier to ob viate further expense he would take the opinion of the jury upon the question of malice; and he would also, if he should turn out to be wrong upon the point of privileged communication, ask them what amount of damages they considered the plaintiff, under the circumstances, was entitled to. The jury, on this result, expressed an opinion .that no malice had been established on the part of the defendant, and they assessed the damages of the plaintif f at 40s. Mr. Justice Williams then said that he should give the defendant leave to move to enter a verdict in his favour, if the court above should think that he was right in regarding the statement complained of as a privileged communication. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) TYACK V. RUSSEN. This was an action to recover the sum of £3 10s. the value of a suit of clothes belonging to the plain tiff, which it was alleged were spoiled through the negligence of the servant of the defendant. Mr. Burnard was counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant was represented by Mr. Joyce. The plaintiff in this action, it appeared, was a journeyman tailor, and the defendant is a carrier between Croydon and London, and according to the case for the plaintiff he was passing by the Elephant and Castle, at Newington, on the evening of the Ist of May, when a man in the service of the defendant was in the act of carrying a vessel containing nitric acid from one of his carts to another, and in so doing he carelessly struck against the shaft of one of the vehicles, which broke the vessel and sprinkled its contents over the clothes of the plaintiff, and damaged them to the extent mentioned. A London attorney it appeared was employed to write to the defendant to ask for compensation, and the reply he received from him was that he must be insane to make such an application, and he (defendant) would be equally so if he paid any attention to it, and the attorney therefore was at liberty to take any pro ceedings he pleased in reference to the matter. The plaintiff endeavoured to show that there had been some negligence on the part of the man who removed the acid, but it clearly appeared in the course of the . case that the vessel had exploded quite accidentally, and that the plaintiff had sustained the damage to his clothes by rushing in among the crowd to see what had happened. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CROFT V. STEVENS.—The letter of the solicitors to the plaintiff in this cause has been referred to the reporter, who states in reply that the report was correct in every particular, and that nothing whatever was omitted that in any way had refer ence to the question at issue between the parties. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCESTER, Aug. 12. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) MURDER.—Catherine Evans was indicted for the wilful murder of Matilda Olive, at Bristol, in May last. The prisoner, on being arraigned, pleaded guilty to the charge. She was pressed to withdraw the plea, and to plead not guilty, but she refused, say ing, " I am guilty of murder before God, and ought to suffer death. I hope I shall suffer the penalty. His Lordship directed that the case should stand over until next day, and that the gaoler at Bristol, in which prison she had been confined, should be sent for in the meantime. He also directed that the plea should be taken as not given in the meantime. 1 She will therefore be brought up to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 12 , LAMBETH; . A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT. —Mrs. Roma S. .Miller, with an infant in her arms, the wife of Mr. John A. Miller, leather seller, 7, Walworth-place, Walworth-road, was charged be fore the Hon. G. C. Norton with causing a disturb ance, on Saturday night last, at his residence in the Walworth-road. The :complainant stated that, about 10 months ago, he separated from his wife. He was forced to do so in consequence of her bad habits. She has since frequently come to his house between 12 and 1 o'clock in the morning, wh en under the influence of liquor, and while in that state has disturbed him by knocking at his door. In answer to Mr. Norton, Complainant said that he had five children, who were living with him. The last time the prisoner called was on Saturday, when she caused a crowd to assemble in the street, to whoni she made a state- SOUTHWARK.--EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD BY MEANS OF A WORTHLESS BANK NOTE. —Solomon Bliss, a respectable-looking young Ger man, describe on the charge sheet as a tailor, resid ing in Trinity-lane, City, was placed at the bar before Mr Combe, charged with being concerned with another not in custody in defrauding Mr. C. Kotyenswarsy, a beer-seller, of Eltham-street, Dover-road, of £lO by uttering to him a bank note for £lO of the Windsor and Eton Bank, which has not been in existence for many years. The prosecutor, a German, said that be kept the Garibaldi beer-house, Eltham-street, Dover-road. On Saturday evening last, about nine, a man who represented himself to be the captain of a ship, entered his shop and called for ale and cigars. A minute or two afterwards the prisoner came in and joined in conversation with the captain, who ordered two dozen and a half cigars, and treated them all with ale. The prisoner put a dozen of the cigars in his pocket, and after some conversation together the captain took a pocket-book from his side pocket and pulled out a number of bank notes, and after selecting one he handed it to witness, say ing that he had no smaller change, and he must take the reckoning out of it. Witness perceived that it was a £lO note on the Windsor and Eton Bank, and believing it to be genuine, he handed the cap tain ten sovereigns, from one of which he took the reckoning, amounting to Bs. The captain put the nine sovereigns and 12s. in his pocket, and they had some more ale. A few minutes after that the captain pulled out another bank note, and re quested him to change that also. Witness told him he could not change that, and he could not want it, as he had just given him gold and silver. The cap tain put the note back and handed the pocket-book to the prisoner, who opened it, took two of the notes out, and put them into his waistcoat pocket. He then returned the pocket-book to the captain, who left the shop followed by the prisoner. Shortly after that a tradesman, residing in the neighbour hood, came into his shop and witness showed him the note he had just taken. He at once pronounced it to be worthless, as the bank had not been in exis tence for many years. He then communicated with the police, and on Sunday evening the prisoner was apprehended. He had not been able 'to trace the captain. Mr. Binns here handed the bank note to his wor ship for his worship's inspection. It purported to be issued by the Windsor and Eton Bank, and was dated the 21st of Aug., 1860. He (Mr. Binns) was informed that that bank stopped upwards of 30 years ago, and that the date had been altered. Mr. Combe said that there could be no doubt of that, but he must have evidence to show that such a bank was not now in existence. Mr. H. Adams, provision merchant, of the Dover road, proved that the note was worthless, the bank having failed many years ago. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner what answer he had to make to the charge ? He replied that he was as innocent as a baby, and if his worship would allow him he would tell him all he knew about the transaction. He said that he was a tailor, and took a coat home to the prosecutor's house on Saturday evening. He there saw a man who called himself a captain, and who treated him and the landlord to ale and cigars. When the captain gave the latter the hank note, he said to him, in German, " Look out and see if it is right." Mr. Combe asked the prosecutor whether there was any truth in that ? He replied that the prisoner did take hold of the note before he changed it, but he said " That it was all right." He was certain the prisoner knew all about the fraud. The prisoner denied that assertion ; he never saw the other man before, and all he partook of was the ale and cigars. He was well known to Messrs. Broadhurst and Russell, the auctioneers—his uncle being connected with the firm. Mr. Parker, who stated himself to be an eating house keeper in Trinity-lane, City, here stepped for ward, and said the prisoner was a highly respect able young man, and had lodged in his house more than 12 months. He would be answerable for him to any amount, as he was sure he would not have been connected with such a fraudulent transaction. Mr. Combe observed that it was a very singular affair, and he should like to know something more about the parties. Under these circumstances he should adjourn the case until 3 o'clock, to give the prisoner an opportunity of producing evidence in his favour. A short time before his worship quitted the bench Mr. W. Edwin attended on behalf of the prisoner, and said that he had not had time to obtain wit nesses for his client, but he was assured by him that he had nothing to do with the so-called captain or the fraud, and denied having taken anything from the pocket-book, as stated by the prosecutor. The latter said he distinctly saw him take out one or two notes and put them in his waistcoat-pocket; and no doubt he should be able to prove their con nection. Mr. Combe considered there were circumstances of great suspicion as to the prisoner's conduct ; therefore he should remand him. Mr. Edwin asked his worship to accept Mr. Parker's bail for his appearance. Mr. Combe refused to accept bail, consequently he prisoner was conveyed to gaol in the van. WESTMINSTER.—TnE CHARGE or SHOPLIFT ING AGAINST A LADY.—Miss Elizabeth Hawkins, aged 22, the daughter of an independent gentleman residing in Broom-lane, Fulham, was finally exa mined charged with stealing a roll of ril bon, value Gs., from the shop of Mr. Burletson, 198, King's road, Chelsea. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Lewis, of Marl borough-street, appeared for the accused. It appeared from the evidence of James Joseph Horne, shopman, that the prisoner, on the Gth inst., took some pieces of floss silk to Mr. Burletson to procure ribbon to match, that she kept a roll of 30 yards in her hand, and drawing it gradually along the counter under her cloak, wrapped it in a piece of paper with the patterns of floss silk, and put it in her pocket. Her purchases, amounting to 11d., were then wrapped up by the shopman, who having informed his master what he had seen, asked pri soner to produce the parcel she had put in her pocket, which she willingly did, and unfolding it, disclosed the ribbon, upon which she said it was a mistake, and that she did not know how it came there. Mr. Sleigh, adverting to a remark made by Mr. Arnold, on the first examination, to Mr. Lewis, that he did not consider himself justified in with holding the case from a jury, and further, to the circumstance that the depositions had not been pre pared for the prisoner's committal, said that he was not surprised that the magistrate should have come to the determination he had upon such a state of facts as those detailed in the evidence, which were not only uncontradicted but incapable of contradic tion; but he had little doubt that after the magis trate had heard what it wou ld be his (Mr. Sleigh's) duty to advance, he would save thelady be fore him the painful a nd degrading ordeal o h f at a ri h a d by by jury. That the ribbon was _taken put into her pocket there could be n o doubt. But would the question for the magistrate's consideration be, whether she had at the time of taking it a felonious intent ; and her position, means, and high character all irresistibly led to a different con clusion. She was the daughter of a highly re spectable man, and amongst those now in attend ance to vouch for her extreme propriety of conduct were the vicar and curate of the parish. The greatest and wealthiest members of society were frequently known to suffer from fits of mental abstraction, from treachery of memory, and he would show by medical and other testimony that such was and had been for a length of time the condition of this young lady; her mental power while in the prosecutor's shop was absorbed in matching the silk, and her abstraction of intellect led her to do what she was perfectly unconscious of. Mr. Arnold questioned whether, in sitting to C 011" trona a scald, and he observed a slow ness and dullness of intellect which her derange ment of healthdid not account for. She was afflicted with abstraction of mind. There was a dullness, slowness, and abstraction of manner which led her to do things from inadvertence. It was so manifest that he pointed out to her mother the necessity of exorcising great watchfulness and care over her. M ie r.tAlfredKirkup, tii another medical gentleman having had great experience always of that lunatic cases, said apathy. There was great abstraction and want of power in concentrating her mind. The malady did not amount to imbecility. There were many per sons who did ridiculous acts unconsciously, without being imbecile or insane. She was an amiable, re tiring, modest, diffident girl, whom one would never imagine had courage enough to do a dishonest act, even if such a disposition existed. Miss Kate Hawkins, an elder sister of the ac cused, said she was so exceedingly forgetful and absent that the family could never trust her with a parcel or a message. She often left parcels in omnibuses; and recently, at Swan and Edgar's, walked with a parcel to the door, and then remembering that it was not hers, returned it to the place from which she had taken it. A short time ago she went into an omnibus without any money in her pocket. Mr. and Mrs. Bidgood, who had known the ac cused many years, said that she had always borne the character of being . dull, moody, abstracted, and dreamy, thi n ki n g of.one thing, and doing another. The Rev. Wm. Edward Batty, curate of Fulham, ssid he had known the accused from 12 or 13 years of age, and her character wasAerfectly unblemished. Her eldest sister hadtaken' arge of a parish cha rhmi he observed manner es rer ic v e l d gave obviouslyan him aawr o arising iwn ee agr a t df s rn i o t a erts . d o , sin e d a call 'peculiarity t s t ofhe intellect. l 1e s of The Rev. Robert George Baker, vicar of Fulham, proved that her character had been irreproachable. Mr. William Admiral Hawkins, the accused's father, said she had always been wandering in mind. Her abstraction and treachery of memory had been commonly observed by her family. Her sisters had made up their minds not to go out with her to any shop, as they could not get her to deter mine what she wanted. Mr. Arnold said he had adopted a very unusual course in this case, but he hoped he had done right. He thought that if the facts he had heard were laid before a grand jury—which they could not be, they would naturally impart so much doubt as to the intention with which she took the ribbon, that there would be no doubt of their ignoring the bill against her, and he therefore considered himself perfectly justified in discharging her ; but he thought, being aware, as her family were, of her infirmity, they should not let her go out to shops alone, as she was likely to incur disgrace, and give much trouble by her conduct. He begged, in conclusion, to observe that the shopkeeper had been perfectly justified in giving her in charge. The decision was greeted with much applause by a crowded auditory. HAMMERSMITH.—LAMENTABLE DEATH OF A SON IN A STRUGGLE WITH HIS FATHER.-Mr. Charles Routledge, a gentlemanly-looking, middle aged man, was placed in the dock before Mr.lngham charged on suspicion of causing the death of his son, Charles Routledge, aged 17 years, in a scuffle, at his residence, 13, Elgin•crescent, Notting-hill. Mr. Humphrey, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Hepburn, of the T division, stated that about a quarter before 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty at the Notting-hill Police Station, when he received intormation that a murder had been committed at No. 13, Elgin-crescent. He im mediately proceeded to the spot, and upon entering the house he found the son of the prisoner lying dead on a sofa in the drawing•room. The prisoner stated that it was a most lamentable affair, and he was truly sorry for his poor dear boy, but what else could be do under the circumstances. He further stated that his son fenced with him, and put himself in a fighting attitude, and he caught hold of him to prevent him striking him, when the deceased said, "I shall have a fit," and he immediately fell into his arms. Witness sent for Dr. Coghlan, who had. been there previously, and he examined the body, but could find no marks of violence. Mr. G. M. R. Robertshaw, a gentleman residing at No. 14, Elgin-crescent, said he was entering his house about 10 minutes to 9 o'clock on Saturday night, when he heard a violent altercation in the passage of the prisoner's house. He listened at the. door for a moment, and he heard the voices of the prisoner and his son. He also heard a scuffling. noise, and the son said, " I will not have such lar,_ guage used to me ;" and the prisoner said, " ou ; rascal, will you give in?" The prisoner—Did you hear that distinctly ? Witness—l did. I heard Mrs. Routledge's voice say, "Let him alone." I immediately knocked at the door, and it was opened by Miss Routledge. Mr. Ingham—You say that you heard a scuffle, Was it after the words were used ? Witness—lt was while the words were be . ing used. When the door was opened I saw the son lying on the floor of the passage. The mothc.r was supporting his head, and the father was behind the door. He said, "Be quiet, my son is in a fit." The daughter said, " Pray send for a doctor, Mr. Robertshaw." Mrs. Routledge replied to the ob servations of the prisoner, and said, " You worried. him into it by your violence," I ran for the doctor and brought Dr. Coghlan. Mr. Ingham—Did the prisoner say anything ? Witness--Nothing beyond what I have stated. Mr. Ingham—Did he appear sober ? Witness—Quite. Mr. Humphreys—Did he appear distressed in mind ? Witness—He appeared more to be trying to ex culpate himself than exhibiting signs of distress. Elizabeth Routledge, sister of the deceased, was next examined. She appeared very much affected and was allowed a seat in the witness-box. k. he said that her brother bad been in the house some time before the unfortunate occurrence. About tea time he lay down on the sofa in the dining-1 :oom, as he bad a cold. Her father ordered him to ;e t up and leave the room, as he fidgeted him. Her 'father was always ordering him away.

Witness remained in the drawing-room at ljoining, and she heard the prisoner say, " Get up, you have taken my chair." She heard her brother move, and he then said, " Perhaps you will say this is yours too." After a time the deceased went to the passage for his coat, and the prisoner followed him. She heard her father say, " Get out of the way ; e y i o th u e a r r d e o lik on e e a t s h t i n n p g id or ea t t h t e h o a t t h r e e r q ; u g ir o es ou to t b o e r k s n ta o y ek i e n d . out of the way." She heard her brother give some answer, as, "I am not in your way." The prisoner returned to the dining-room, and she heard her brother walk slowly towards the door, as if he was going out. The prisoner rushed out and attacked him. She heard her father call him a great many had names. She heard her brother say, " Call out at the back for the police, like mad." She also heard. him say, " Will no one go for the police 9" She then heard him say, " I am going to have a fit." She ran out and saw her brother in her father's arms. brol t n h e a r n s d w i e e d r t s o h o questions r w th a e r d w s i , t a n n e sds thatsai d he hea never spoke again.

In September last, it appeared, she came to France from England, and obtained a place as companion to a wealthy English lady named Alban, residing at Honfleur. On the 20th Feb. circumstances which led to the belief that she had been delivered of a child were remarked, and on searching her room the dead body of a female infant, with two stabs in the throat, was found in a large box. Medical Dien who examined the body declared that the child had been born alive, and that the wounds had been inflicted by a. pair of scissors. The young woman was immediately ai -rested, and she confessed that she had been delivered of th, e child, and had killed it, but she subsequently retracted .her ad mission. She could not, however, explain how flu! infant came to be dead. The jury declared her guilty, t tncl the court condemned her to six years' hard labour.
