"The success of the Company, even in ite earliest years, received the marked attention, and elicited the surprised comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. "Fire Preidums 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. " Purcha-e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the Similar receipt for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854. "This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, cossiderinz hat it applies to each of the three branches of the business." Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., E T AN D WES T. By J. FRASER CORKRAN. " There is more than usual talent manifested in this at tractive novel, together with a combination of f or ce and originality which induces the greatest interest."—Messen ger, 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 £228,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of £2e2,977 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 the Company has been en h ineed by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. sd. "The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to Government for the year 1860 exhibits the artmentation 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 'ny. Our increase actually equals 30 Der cent. of the entire increase of the wholN of he Metropolitan Office. , combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up wards of 30 per cent. of the total advanceof the other 23 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 bag an advance over the one that had immediately preceded it. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng, £15,097 17s, lod., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. sd. above the amount received for the year 1859. "Rut even this advance is small when compared with the sudden and remarkable momentum which has been given to this Branch of the Business in the present year (1861). "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact th t the Royal insurance Comoany 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 placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the head of all the Insurance Companies doing business in this Country, and tha anticipation. of the last Report, to the effect that the details of the Life tsuet...a . s then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, win nave a speedy and very happy realisation."

A partial settling of accounts on the St. Leger took place at the rooms during the morning, the remainder standing over until Monday, when they will be adjusted at Tatter - sall's. No complaints of any kind were heard—the winner, Caller Ou, having been scarcely touched upon in the betting market. The Derby winner, Kettledrum, has not been dis- graced by his defeat, for the winner was tried at home, and thought to be a second Blink Bonny, but her subsequent running had dissatisfied her owner so much that he feared to trust her again. The easy beating which the two gave the rest of the field shows that the mare has recovered her form, and that the horse is a really good ' animal. Brown Stout was found to have suffered from a rush of blood to the head, and, after returning to his st•tble, several clotted lumps came away at his mouth. Several magnificent yearlings were sold in the horse fair before the races, one having rea lised 850 guineas, and two or three others upwards of 500 a piece. The races did not commence until a quarter past 2 o'clock, and of the seven which were run two created a vast amount of interest—namely, the Portland Plate of 5 fur longs and 152 yards, with 29 horses at the post; and the Cleveland Handicap, in which the winner of the St. Leger appeared. A selling race added £l6O to the funds of the Race Committee, and a very nice afternoon's sport was got through in good time, the weather being beautiful, and the noise and turmoil of a Leger day being absent.

Zingaro made play, followed by the favourite and Blue Stocking in the order we have given them, to the Red House, when Adrasta went to the front. At the distance Zingaro was beaten, leaving the favourite and Blue Stock ing to finish the race home, the favourite winning in a canter by a length and a half. Zingaro finished a ba4 third.

After one slight failure the lot were despatched from the post in close order, the first to show in advance being Ross in company with Piccador next the rails, and Neptunus, Zetland, and Knight of St. Michael lying up, Churchman, being last. In this way they ranto thebend, where Johnny Armstrong joined the front, and went on in waiting to the stand enclosure, where he joined Zetland, Neptunus, and Ross, the four finishing a close race home, Johnny Arm strong running the longest, winning cleverly by three parts of a length, a neck separating the second, and third, and a head between the third and fourth. Piccador was fifth, Morocco next. Grimston and Churchuitsu were the laxt two.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Discretion, 3to I agst Peahen, 7to 2 agst Gazelle, and 6 to 1 any Other. An excellent start was effected at the first attempt. Dis cretion, on the outside, made the running, followed by Gazelle next the rails, with Miss Pennill, Peahen, and Widdington lying in a cluster at their heels, in which way they ran so closely together that, as they neared the dis tance, it was impossible to assign them places, but on ap proaching the stand enclosure Discretion fell back, and Gazelle, in company with Miss Pennill, Jackal, and Pea hen, came on together to the stand, where Miss Pennill headed Capt. Christie's filly, and won a good race by a neck ; a length between the second and third ; Peahen was fourth, Widdington fifth, Discretion sixth ; May Queen and Hernani were the last two.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded.

GREAT BOAT RACE FOR £2OO. A great boat race for £lOO aside came off yesterday, and attracted a large number of spectators. The competitors were Geo. Everson and Geo. Hammerton, the former from Greenwich and the latter from Kingston, both being very celebrated. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake. No less than six steamboats accompanied the vessels. There was a great crowd on the banks of the river. Bet ting was no less than 2 to 1 on Hammerton (chiefly on account of his being a most finished sculler, the style of his opponent being a very bad one.) Shortly before 2 o'clock the men, trained -to a nicety, made their appearance, Ilam merton taking up the best position on the Surrey side. Mr. Charles Clifford, the inventor of the boat-lowering appa ratus, bad been appointed referee by Bell's Life; and the umpires were Biffen, the boat-builder, for Everson, and Messenger for Hammerton. After a false start they were away in beautiful style; but Hammerton led immediately, owing to Everson catching a crab. This, however, did not trouble him much, for in half-a-dozen strokes he was alongside again, and then commenced such a struggle as is only seen where two really good men are opposed. For 200 yards they rowed strictly level, and then a second time Hammerton led slightly, but his opponent, a strong powerful man, his superior in stature by tour inches, and much heavier, was soon up with him again. At the end of half a mile Hammerton put en a fine spurt and drew a yard or two away, and this lead at times slightly de creased, and then was lengthened again. He held to be yond the Point, where Everson was ence more level, but Hammerton, rowing in beautiful form, broke away again, and was upwards of half his length in advance at Cra ven-cottage. Between this point and the Crab-tree Everson gradually came abreast of his opponent, and now in his turn led, although another crab threatened seriously to interfere with his progress, but he drew in front again, and passed under Hammersmith-bridge a clear length ahead. From this spot to the winning post he gradually increased his lead, and, notwithstanding the magnificent rowing and plucky spurts of Hammerton, won the race easily by four lengths. THE RECENT FRAC AS AT ASTON-PARK BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 19. At the Aston Police Station, near this town, to day, before a bench of magistrates, composed of the Rev. R. K. Bedford, rector of Sutton Coldfield, Messrs. J. 0. Bacchus and Joseph Ledsam, the charges were gone into against the principal per sons alleged to have been implicated in a aisturb ance which took place at Aston-park on Monday evening on the occasion of Blondin's ascent. The circumstances attendant upon and the character of this affair having been much exaggerated, it may be well to state the charge preferred against the defendants. It was that of " resisting James Wil son, drill-master of the Birmingham police force, and the other officers under his command and orders on the 16th inst." The defendants were Chas. Belton, upholsterer; William Ward, lamplighter ; James Jackson, brass founder; William Gwilliam, pumprndter; John Hewitt, bricklayer ; William Daniels, gun-imple ment maker ; and Robert White, clerk, two or three of whom were defended. Frum the evidence of Wilson, the police-officer, it appeared that on Monday he was sent, with 11 men, to Aston, to preserve order. About half past 5 o'clock in the afternoon he received in formation that a number of persons 'who were assembled outside the park were endeavouring to gain admittance through the boundary of the grounds; in a short time, the crowd being great, a portion of the fence was broken down, and admission was obtained to a field contiguous to the land of the company. Wilson, assisted by two of his men, succeeded in driving the intruders back into the road, but immediately afterwards he and his party were obliged to beat a retreat; the crowd then proceeded to break down the fence, and by that means obtain admission to the grounds where the fete was taking place. The police force on duty being in this respect overp.owered , an extra force was sent for from Birmingham, but before it arrived the police on duty were assailed with stones, and a leg of one of the horses of the mounted police was fractured ; the mob also col lected the broken timber and made a bonfire in the road. Upon the arrival of the additional police the intruders were driven from the ground, and the defendants were captured. In the case of the defendant Belton, a youth, it was sworn to that he was seen throwing stones, and when taken he had stones in his hand. He was fined £5 and costs, or in default 14 days' hard labour. Jackson was discharged from insufficiency of evidence ; and Daniels, who was seen to throw stones at the police, was fined £lO and costs, or two months' imprisonment. In the case of Hewitt the evidence was to the effect that he not only threw stones but that he was the person who threw one which struck a constable in the face by which he was knocked down : fined £lO, or two months' imprisonment. Ward was discharged upon recognisances, the evidence of identity being insufficient ; White and Owilliam were also discharged, it appearing that the latter had really been engaged in aiding the police. The bearing of these cases occupied five hours. Yesterday morning Mr. S. Laing, the Finance Minister of India, attended a meeting of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, the Cotton Supply Association, aria the Manchester Cotton Cultiva tion Company, summoned for the purpose of com municating to the hon. gentleman their views and wishes relative to the promotion of commerce with our East Indian possessions, and especially with re gard to the supply of cotton for the manufactures of England. The meeting took place at Manchester, in the Mayor's parlour at the Town-hall, and was pre sided over by Mr. Curtis, the Mayor of the city. Among the gentlemen present were Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Hadfield, M.P., Sir E. Armitage, Mr. G. Wilson, Mr. J. Shuttleworth, Mr. W. R. Wood, Mr. H. Mason, Mr. J. Platt, Mr. J. Cheetham, Mr. B. Nicholls, Mr. M. Ross, Mr. E. Ashworth, Mr. T. Clegg, Mr. T. Mosley, Mr. M. Gladstone, and many other representatives of the three commercial bodies above named. The MAYOR having briefly introduced Mr. Laing, and directed attention to the objects of the con ference, Mr. Ross, Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce, rose to present an address from the Chamber, and was followed by Mr. J. CHEETiIAM, who presented an address from the Cotton Supply Association. Mr. J. PLATT, of Oldham, presented an address from the Manchester Cotton Cultivation Company. All these gentlemen addressed the meeting at some length in reference to India, their remarks being mainly directed to the importance of improving the internal means of communication in India by the improvement of common roads, the means of water carriage, and the construction of railways. They also called attention to the still unsatisfactory state of the law in India with re ference to the land tenures. With regard to the supply of cotton from India, Mr. Cheetham directed attention to the importance of increasing the quality as well as the quantity, which was of the utmost importance if our dependence on America was to be avoided, and this could only be done by facilitating the settlement of Europeans, and alter ing the land tenure of the country so that Euro peans could acquire the fee simple. The following is the address of the Chamber of Commerce : " To THE HON. SAMUEL LAING, &C. " Sir,—We, the members of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, in public meeting assembled, gladly avail our selves of the opportunity afforded us by your visit to our city to offer to you our sincere congratulations upon the re storation of yGUr health, and to express to you the satisfac tion with which we have heard of your approaching return to Calcutta, in order to carry out the sound financial and commercial policy of which you have already proved your self so able an exponent. When you originally undertook the arduous duties of your important office we were well aware that you were making many sacrifices in proceeding to India to encounter difficulties from which a public man, holding no mean position in England, might well have re coiled ; and the failure of your mission would have caused us less surprise than sorrow. Bat we have been spared any other feeling with respect to you than that of sincere re gret that sickness should have compelled you to relinquish your task before time had been afforded for its completion. " We have now for many years past been engaged from time to time in urging on her Majesty's Government the special requirements of India. We have pressed upon our rulers the policy—nay, the absolute necessity of opening up that great country by means of roads, canals, and other public works; and very recently, in furtherance of resolu tions adopted at a conference on Indian affairs, originally held here and then adjourned to London, a e endeavoured to show the material benefits that must ensue from the intro duction of certain changes in the administration and general policy of the Indian Government, under which our Eastern empire ought to be no longer a source of anxiety but of strength to the Crown of England. We have, therefore, witnessed with much satisfaction the progress now being made towards the realisation of the views which we enter tained. The reduction of our military expend,ture, the proposed establishment of local legislative councils, the 6P."'s out of roads, onri ntbor -...miertakings of lilro Character we regard as the commencement of a new era in the history of India. For the share you have had in intro ducing these promising measures wo desire, Sir, to tender You our best thanks ; as also for the promptitude with which you reduced the import duty on cotton yarns from 10 to 6 per cent., and we earnestly trust that circumstances will shortly admit of your adopting a similar policy with regard to the heavy duties now levied on the import of our manu factures, with a view to the ultimate abolition of all such imposts. "We feel that it is wholly unneeessary to enter into any of the reasons which have convinced us of the impolicy of protective duties, your own recorded opinions affording the strongest testimony that the cause of free trade cannot have a more earnest and enlightened advocate than yourself. " India at the present moment occupies a large share of the attention of the educated and reflection portion of the community. The deplorable events which are taking place in America imperil the welfare of millions of industrious men, women, and children in these districts. The approach. ing dearth of cotton would indeed be appalling, if we had not India to look to as another, perhaps the chief, source whence we may draw the needed supply of the raw material. Those among us whe know India best are the most sanguine as to the advantages which England must derive from a more intimate connection between the two countries. We ask you, Sir, to aid us, with your high intelligence and sa gacity, in urging forward the adoption of measures by which alone such results can be secured ; and we make this request the more confidently, because we know that we are serving no mere selfish ends—because we know that India cannot bring prosperity to Great Britain without being her self raised in intellectual and material wellbeing at the same time. " You will on your return to Calcutta probably find a body of our fellow-countrymen who have long been en gaged in the cultivation of indigo and other produce in a position of much difficulty and embarrassment. We ex press no opinion at the present on the circumstances which have led to this state of affairs, but the subject is alluded to simply to draw your attention to the necessity which we are convinced exists of amending the law of contract throughout the country, and to the policy of encouraging in every possible manner the employment of British capital, industry, and enterprise in India as the surest means of giving life and energy to the still latent powers of that mar vellous country, and of improving the moral and intellectual character of her people. " To these expressions of opinion we desire to add the assurance of our entire confidence in the devotion of your utmost energies to the arduous task which you have under• taken, and it is our earnest hope that the issue of you r labours may be honourable alike to yourself and conducive to the interests of our common country. (Signed on behalf of the Manchester Chamber of Com. merce.) The following is the address of the Cotton Supply Association : " Sir,—The members of the Cotton Supply Association offer their sincere congratulations on your restoration to health, and the prospect of your speedy return to India to resume the duties of your high and important office in the government of that country. They trust y o u may long be spared in the enjoyment of your accustomed ment al and b o dily vigour, and be enabled to carry into more co m p lete fruition those sound economical principles which have hitherto distinguished your financial policy. " The association cannot in dntyneglect this opportunity of laying before you their deliberate opinion that there are serious obstacles to an extended commerce between India and this country which it is within the power of an en lightened and vigorous Government to remove. Their claim on your attention in connection with this subject arises from the fact that India has, among her other undeveloped sources of wealth, the proved capacity of furnishing in un limited quantity, and of approved quality, the raw material of our cotton manufactures. The entire cessation of Ame rican supplies, and the uncertain prospect of their resump tion, invest this fact with tremendous importance. " They rejoice to observe that one main obstacle to the material prosperity of India is practically engaging the at tention of the Government. The lamentable deficiency of internal communication, of which the association have so long complained, is being partially remedied. They have noted with satisfaction the steady progress of railway works, the active efforts which have followed the late minute of the Governor-General directing the improvement of cart and bullock tracks in the interior, the promised opening of the Godavery navigation, and the sanction by the Govern ment of part of an important road scheme, which, carried out in its integrity, would place the vast cotton resources of Berar and Dharwar at the disposal of the country. In these projects they see evidence of a disposition on the part of the present Government to atone in some measure for the ne glect of their predecessors. They would urge a still more liberal provision in future budgets for such purposes. The association have recently had the honour of expressing in detail to the Governor .General their views on tho "ilo of rue present system of land tenure, and the importance of, some equitable law for enforcing contracts between the ear simple that no sufficient inducement has been offered to the British capitalist to embark in agricultural pursuits. They are further informed on un impeachable testimony, that a con siderable part of this waste land is immediately available for cotton cultivation, and they submit that by selling that at its own disposal 'in fee-simple the Government would, while deriving a large accession of revenue, offer a material inducement to the employment of European energy and capital in the country. They confess their great surprise that a course attended with such obvious advantages, and which was distinctly recommended in 1858 by Lord Stanley, the then Secretary of State for India, should not have been long since adopted. In cases where private rights intervene the influence of the Government might readily bring about a sale on terms which would insure a speedy reclamation of the land from its present unproductiveness. " These are briefly the points on which the association solicit your services. They have only, in conclusion, to as sure you that in the fulfilment of your arduous and impor tant mission, and especially in promoting any measures for extending the cultivation of Indian cotton, you may fully rely on the active support of the Cotton Supply Association. " Signed on behalf of the Association, ".TORN CREETHAM, President. c o a . ll S el rT o , Interim attention to the Secretary. " EDMUND ASHURST, Vice-President. Mr. FERG US SON S' prohibi tory duties at present levied upon cotton cloths ex ported to India, which he calculated, with the' charges for freight, insurance, &c., amounted to a protection in favour of natives equal to 30 per cent. He knew this was a delicate question in the finan- cial difficulties besetting the Indian Government, He contended that the people of this country oaght not to be taxed to this extent for the support of a dependency. He estimated the loss of British mer chants through the measure of Mr. Laing's prede cessors at a million and a half sterling. There was a class of orders from native merchants called " in dents," which he was told had fallen off since the dnty was raised to the extent of 75 per cent. Mr. LAING, who was warmly cheered on rising, returned his most sincere thanks for the kind man , ner in which he had been personally referred to. As he thought nothing could be in worse taste than for a public man to have the appearance of blowing his own trumpet, and as, moreover, the arduous task in which he was engaged was not yet fully ac complished, he preferred as speedily as might be to pass on to those more general topics on which he was expected to address them. Of course, it would be borne in mind that he was only one member of a Government sitting at Calcutta, 10,000 miles distant, and he could not, therefore, be understood as committing the Government, either at home or in India, by anything he might say. He was placed in the alternative of speaking with a great deal of official reserve, or, if he spoke frankly, as he should wish to do, and as he believed would be most acceptable—(cheers)—it must be taken merely as an expression of his own sentiments whatever they might be worth. He most heartily agreed in what had been said of the great duties and responsibilities resting on the Government and people of England with regard to India. He briefly recounted the wonderful progress of our dominion in that country, till it had expanded from the Black-hole of Calcutta into an empire bounded only by the Himalayas and the ocean, and to the consequent necessity of suppressing the mutiny of that army of our own creation by means of which we had conquered India. That danger was hap pily overcome, and there seemed but one obstacle left before the era of warfare in India should ter- minate, and the era of peaceful progress begin in earnest. That obstacle was the financial crisis. For years and years a deficit had gone on accumulat ing, until at last it became a question, almost from month to month, whether the Government could continue to pay its way. This was an ob stacle to further improvement, an I, perhaps, the main reason why many of those useful re forms which had been urged to-day had been suspended or hindered. When he arrived in welllndia, be m h a o r r d e ly glo n o i m n ey than o e e n ths the ago,nothing financial p r s c p o e u c l t d . In the three preceding years some 38 millions had been added to the national debt, and an official cir cular had just been issued admitting a deficit for the current year of over six millions. The very gravity of the danger, perhaps, proved the means of extri cating the Government from this position, because through it they were enabled to carry out some very large measures of reduction which were sure to encounter much opposition and difficulty. The French saying, " Aide-toi, et le Ciel t'aidera," was never better exemplified than in this case. The moment the Government applied themselves in earnest to the work of reduction the tide seemed to turn, and they had a complete run of luck. The rains fell in the very nick of time, so that the famine which had threatened to be so overwhelming was confined within the limits that were not so very important financially, though of course it was pro ductive of much individual s uffering. The price of opium ran up to an unprecedented height, and other sources of revenue turned out more produc tive than had been anticipated. The result was that in April he was enabled to present a budget in which the deficit (previously only reduced to about five millions by taking into account the proceeds of income-tax and the other new taxes imposed by Mr. Wilson) was met and an additional expendi ture of £500,000 on roads and communications was provided for by, in round numbers, about three and and a half to four millions of reduction in expendi ture, and a million and a half in almost impercep tible additions to indirect taxation. It would indeed be too much to assume that all the estimates of the budget would be completely realised, and that the financial crisis was completely at an end. In a coun try where many of the sources of the revenue was so extremely speculative, like opium, where such very important changes were being carried out, where, above all, the system of budget and esti mates was completely new, and the financial ma chinery had to be made to his hand, so to speak, by a finance minister who was himself new to the country and to his work, it would be absurd to say that there was not a wide margin of uncer tainty. At the same time, he should mislead this meeting if he did not state that he felt the greatest possible confidence that the crisis was so far sur mounted as no longer to be seriously formidable, or stand in the way of other measures of improvement. (Hear.) It was mainly with a view to realise his own estimates that he was going back to India, at some amount of inconvenience perhaps, for a short time. (Cheers.) He should not wish the meeting to run away with the idea that all Indian estimates were quite delusive, and that Indian finance was wrapped in impenetrable mystery. There was one simple test by which we could always tell pretty cer tainly how they were going on. This was the state of the cash balances in India. As they had no loans open, and every penny borro wed in England was ap plied to the construction of railways, and he did not pretend to have discovered the philosopher's stone, it stood. to reason that if they spent at a greater rate than, they received, the balance at their banker's mus t run down, and vice versa. Now, since the ree,uctions were commenced in earnest at the begin ning of the year, the cash balances in India had in cl !eased by more than £3,000,000. He did not mean t hat there was an actual surplus of £3,000,000 in six months, because temporary exceptional circum stances would account for a good deal of it; but he referred to this with considerable confidence as proving that, on the whole, they could not be far off from a substantial equilibrium. The greater outlay on communications which was desired, and the re duction of tariff on imports, all depended on finan cial improvement. It was in further economy and reductions we must seek the means of meeting those necessary demands, for he thought we had n early reached the limit of taxation in India. H e l ug mention, as anotheg reason for confidenc e, th at 150,000 natives holding 'arks ;.in. their hands, and whose object in living wai'iapine and slaughter. Although he was not an 'Alvocate of peace at any price, , and thought tine Volunteers had a right impulse, he conceived this must necessarily make in the course .of a short time a great differ ence in the habits of the rising generation ; and ad ding to this the great rise in wages, and consequent increasing habit of steady industry, it must tell in diminishing the tendency to manufacture wars. The army of 75,000 Europeans was a solid element of strength, in the face of which it seemed utterly im possible there should be any serious attempt at com motion, half that number having su ffi ced to put down a mutiny under every possible disadvantage. He entirely agreed in the oroad principle that had been laid down, that the improved state of things in India which we all desired was chiefly dependant on the infusion of European enterprise and capital into that country. (Hear, hear.) In the first place, of course, was counted what might be called generally good government. One thing which lay very much at the root of the whole matter was, whether the Government of India should continue to be conducted in England, or be conducted in India. As surely as we lost the United States of America, by attempting to govern them in England, and nearly lost Canada by the same process, and while we turned Canada, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope into loyal and prosperous colonies by simply letting the local government be conducted in those colonies, instead of attempting to keep them in lead ing-strings from Downing-street, so the like results would follow from like causes in India. (Cheers.), He thought V. measures recently adopted in giving Legislative Vermeils for the dilerert preside,ueies was a step in the right direction. Although there might be a certain amount of discussion in a country like India, on the whole there was more to be gained by it than would be lost. Therefore, with the amount of free institutions we had in India—with a free press, liberty of discussion, and these local councils, as an authorised expression of public opin ion,—if we left India a good deal to itself, and did not attempt to govern it too much in detail from this country, he saw reason to hope we should make things right, and that habits of self-government would gradually spring up. As to the proposed specific measures for the extension of commerce, he agreed in the opinion that the question of communications was at the root of the whole matter. The railways would not only be important politi cally, because, though water carriage might be a cheaper mode of transport for cotton or bulky com modities, yet it was equally true that in many cases there was no water carriage available, and in still mare cases the railroad, if it was not the route for coming down to the sea, must be the route for Eu ropeans to go up to look after the growth of cotton in the interior. He did not think there was much to be said against the Indian Government on the score of railways at present, though it was perfectly true that a good many years ago the East India Company did discourage their formation. It was rather a question, perhaps, whether too much had not been done, or whether it had not been done too expensively. Under the guarantee system, perhaps, a good deal had been wasted. However, in two years from this time we should have a very com plete system of railway communication throughout India. Water communications were in many re spects preferable, but most Indian streams were not so much rivers as gigantic mountain torrents, which in the dry season were reduced to mere threads of water winding in devious and impracticable chan nels. The most promising, no doubt, was the Goda very. He was sanguine that something might be done there to enable native boats and barges with a supply of cotton to get down, but whether the river would be rendered navigable for steamers going up depended on the engineers, not upon the Govern ment. The Indian Government were fully sensible of the importance of communications of that sort. Be fore despatches reached them from home they had provided in the last budget for the outlay on the Godavery on all those portions which had been sur veyed and reduced to anything like a definite estimate, and, although' ti,e financial crisis was not absolutely surmounted, something like £500,000 more had been devoted this year than last to that and similar works, consisting mainly of roads and communications in the cotton districts. He believed the greatest outlay that could now be made profitably was in common roads, so as to enable the bullock-cart, the universal conveyance of India, to carry produce as cheaply as possible, either to the nearest railway station or to the nearest shipping port; and it was very much with a view to accelerate the construction of these works that he had been anxious to introduce the system of local budgets, by which different localities might supplement the Government grants by local rates or taxation. The question of tenure of land and the question of the law of contracts were of about equal importance, or perhaps the latter was the more important. Relative to the immediate supply of cotton—the question of getting cotton next year, a good deal depended on European capitalists being in a position to make advances to the native growers. It was for the true benefit of the natives themselves that the law of contracts should be stringent. (Hear, hear.) The chief difficulty in getting speedy results in India from a fee simple tenure by Europeans was the distance of the waste lands from the population. Ceylon and the Mau ritius were more favourably situated in this respect for the supply of coolies. Wherever there were efforts of enterprising Europeans in India it was the desire as well as the duty of the Government to encourage them ; in. the Bengal Presidency a great deal had been already effected as to the land settlement, but they could not pass exceptional or special laws, inconsistent with equal rights and justice to the natives. After some further observa tions Mr. Laing sat down amid loud applause. A vote of thanks was given to the hon. gentle man on the motion of Mr. BAILEY, M.P. TILE DRAWBACK ON PAPER.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer has refused the request contained in the memorial on behalf of the letterpress printers, publishers , lithographers, and copperplate printers, to be allowed draw back on their stocks of paper, on the ground that the Act of Parliament was passed after much deliberation, and its terms were during two Sessions known to the public, and that the Act; gives no authority to her Majesty's Govern ment enabling them to pay drawback to the trades in ques tion. At the same time he is not able to subscribe to the propriety of the claim itself which, if granted, would pro duce a number of other claims, which it would be difficult to refuse and exceptionable to concede. A BOY MURDERER.—An inquest was held at Westholme Bank-house, Marwood, near Bartardcastle, on Wednesday, touching the death of Ann Middleton, 38 years of age, housekeeper it) Mr. Wm. Gibson, farmer. She was shot dead on Sunday afternoon by a boy in the service of Mr. Gibson named Little, only 12 years old, and the evi dence went to show that his master had left his gun loaded hanging upon some crooks in the kitchen. The deceased and the boy were left by themselves in the house, and the former had complained in the morning to her master of the lad having used abusive language to her. A man named Kidd called at the house about 2 o'clock and found the housekeeper and the lad in the yard. The lad had a gun in his hand, and the deceased said, "You had better make him take the gun in," and Kidd told the boy to do so. The boy was then playing with the hammer, made no reply, but laughed, and lifting the gun to his shoulder pointed it at Kidd, pulled the trigger, and the hammer went down, but aq there was no snap Kidd thought there was no cap on it. Kidd sprang forward to seize him, but he stepped out of his reach, whereupon Kidd said, "You young villain, if you , e d: not take the gun in I will break your back." Kidd t .u l st engaged in conversation with the deceased, and 4 turning away when the boy put the gun to t h o i ff s , :hl u d i t d h e e r again and shot at the deceased.
