This Company is established in order, a 3 its name implies, to carry on the trade of Merchant Bankers. Hitherto this department of business has been almost exclusively in the hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the Joint-Stock principle may be most beneficially applied to lit, as well in the interests of commerce as to the advantage of those who desire a safe and profitable investment. The Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, is in consequence projected, having been carefully matured under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility already available and in full operation, the Company will at once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know led,l7heeancodinexapnerience of the respective toreign markets. y Will avoid costly establishments abroad, 'Which absorb so large a portion of the profits of other bank ing establishments and avail themselves of th e agency o f merc antile houses already established. lmn The Company will Agents,goibl orother credits, !fraud their-iroreigit to importers of produce in this - I y , on the continent of Europe, and in America. y will make adv ances on the staple manufactures of this Country will documentary bills, or c ons i gne d t o th e i r Agents abroad, for such periods as ma y b e necessary to realise the sale a such goods, and on terms favourable to the shippers. beY will also undertake t o execute or d ers f or produce throngh-their Agents ablikaiVon terms highly advantageous to importers. The Company will further undertake the monetary agency of * Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constitut e d P üblic bodies. They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London, at the current rates of interest, and grant loans, through their Agents abroad, on approved securities. The safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, as an investment w+ll be understood from the na ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the p ro fit s likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile banking establishments engaged in the same description of business. No promotion-money will be paid in connexion with this Company ; the pre iminary expenses will be strictly confined to actual disbursements. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. A pplieation.s for Shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to the Directors ; and copies of the Prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors; but no application will be considered unless a deposit of 41 per share on the num ber of Shares applied for has been paid. • FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. ______.__ The Very Rev. R. Chenevix Trench, D.D., Dean of Westminster and of the Order of the Bath, has definitively accepted the Archbishopric of Dublin, with the Chancellor ship of the Order of St. Patrick, tendered to him by Lord Palmerston. Although an Englishman by education and settlement, Dr. Trench is an Irishman by birth and extrac tion, and his appointment is likely to meet with general favour across the Channel. This eminent poet. scholar, and divine was born on Sept. 9, kBO7, so that he is in his b7th year. He is the second son of Mr. Richard Trench, of Botley, Hants, barrister-at-law, by Melesina Chenevix, relict of Col. St. George, and daugh ter of the Rev. Philip Chenevix (son and heir of Richard Chenevix, Archbishop of Waterford, 1741-9), a lady whose interesting journal, edited by her son, the Dean of West minster, was published a year or more ago, and was one of the most valuable books of the season. The family is a Gal way one. Frederic Trench settled in that county 150 years ago, and his descendant, Frederic of Woodlawn, M.P. for Portarlington, created Lord Ashton in 1800, was Mr. Richard Trench's elder brother. The present Lord Ashtown is first cousin as well as brother-in-law to the new arch bishop, who is connected with the Whites of Woodlands ' L o rd Bloomfield, Lord Drogheda, and other Irish f am ili es' besides having considerable landed property in Ireland him self, bequeathed to hint by his father. Dean Trench was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1829. After being for a short time incumbent of Curdridge, Hants, he became curate to the present Bishop of Oxford at Alverstoke, in the same county, in 1841, from which period may be dated his literary reputation and professional advancement. The bishop and his quondam curate have always been on terms of the great est intimacy, and no one can have heard the latter preach without recognising the manner of the master. When the Bishop of Oxford became Dean of Westminster, Lord Ashburton presented Mr. Trench to the.rectery of ltchin- Stoke, near Winchester. In this position, outside his parish, which is a model of neatness and beauty, moral as well as natural, there was little for Mr. Trench's activity to \yolk upon, for the theological atmosphere of Winchester was not to his taste, and he took very little pains - onlicoal the fact: In 1845.6, he was Huleean lecturer at Cambridge, and in 047 he accepted the divinity professorship in King's Col lege, London, an office which at once brutal-lit him into the best London society, as he had by that time become widely known as a poet. and a writer. In 1855-6 it was supposed that h 4 would have had the Bishopric of Gloucester, but some hitch occurred, and, by way of compensation, the Deanery of Westminster was conferred upon him. Here he has been chiefly known for his establishment of the Sunday evening services, and for his readiness to preach and lecture anywhere in London for good objects. His management of Westminster School has not been successful, but his heart was in his study, and he left the business of the abbey and its estates to Lord John Thynne and Dr. Cureton. It must be said, however, that Dr. Trench, who advocated the re moval of the school into the country, and the abolition of the time-honoured play, had the manliness and candour to bow to the expressed wish of the old Westminsters' com mittee, and to announce his intention of doing his best for the improvement of the school, while retaining its time honoured customs. It need not be said that Dean Trench is known as an au thor wherever the English language is spoken. As a poet his " Sabbation," ," Honor Neale," and especially his "Justin Martyr" and " Genoveva" have long ago entitled him to a similar rank among poets to that occupied by his friend Lord Houghton. As a divine, his "Notes on the Parables," "" on the Miracles," "on the Sermon on the Mount," &c., have passed through several editions, and are standard theological works among the clergy and candidates for ordination. As a philologist his " Study of Words" is, perhaps, his most popular book; but literary men know that ho is one of the projectors of the new English cll.:- tionary—the design of whichhe introduced to the world with his essay "On the deficiencies of our English Dictionaries." In his views the new archbishop is High Church-3S the Bishop of Oxford is High Church, with large sympathies for all sections within the Church, and without the slightest particle of intolerance or fanacticism in his composition. If he is equally on good terms with the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. 11aurice, Mr. Thaokeray, and Lord Houghton, it may be safely said that he will never be liable to the charge of illiberality. He is likely to be an ornament to his native country, and the mainstay of her Church in days which may be critical. Dean Trench married, in 1832, the Hon. Frances Mary, sister of the present Lord Ashtown, and daughter of Mr. Frederic Trench, brother of the first per, by whom he has had a very large family. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The screw launch Experiment, fitted with twin screws driven by double cylinder engines of 3-horse collective power (nominal), made her second official trial at Portsmouth, on Saturday, under the supervision of Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, the trial being conducted by Mr. J. Ward, assistant to the chief engineer of Portsmouth dockyard, and Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat. The wind was from the eastward, raising a slight swell on the water that was rather against the chance of the vessel exhibiting her hightest possible rate of speed. A reference to the figures appended will, however, show that the speed attained on the present trial was rather in excess of that on the first trial ; but, as a higher and more uniform pressure of steam was maintained on the present than on the previous trial, there is no doubt that had the conditions of force of wind and smoothness of water been equal, the experiments would have realised a speed of seven knots. On reaching the measured mile in Stokes•bay four runs were made, with both propellers working, with the following results :-Ist run 6.394 knots. steam pressure 601b5.; 2d, 7.1 . 14 knots, steam pressure, 621b5.; 3d, 6,428 knots, steam pressure 62Ibs. ; 4th, 7128 knots, steam pressure 641bs. The mean speed of the four runs was 6.780 knots. The evolutions of the engines ranged from 302 to 304. Two runs were made with one propeller (the port) only working, the results being :-Ist run, 4.551 knots, steam pressure 601115.-; 2d, 4 075.knets, steam.-peos sure 601bs. The mean speed wars 4.613 knots, the revolu tion of engines ranged from 320 to 360. These results being found sufficiendy conclusive as to the boat's speed, using both or only one propeller, she was next tested in making circles, which were completed as follows :—With both propellers going ahead—Half circle to starboard, 35 sec. ; to port, 32 sec. ; fall circle, to starboard, 1 min. 8 s ;to port, 1 min. 8 sec. The diameter of the circle was nearly three times the boat's length. With one propeller driving ahead and the other astern, the following results were obtained, the boat, as will be anticipated from previous trials with twin screw vessels when driving their screws in opposite directions, revolving after the fashion of a turn table, but with a spiral motion astern :—Half circle, to starboard, 35 sec. ; to port, 32 sec: ; full circle to starboard, 1 min. 57 sec. ;to port, 1 min. 37 sec, It will be seen that in twisting the boat round a circle the diameter of which is her own length, a somewhat longer time is occupied than in going round one three times her length. In the one in stance speed is sacrificed to the circle's diameter, and in the other instance it is the reverse. The power of steering the boat by the screws alone was next tested, and was at tended with the same certain result which has always attended a similar experiment with twin screws. In fact the boat, it was found, could be steered by her screws alone with a precision and ease equal, if not superior, to what would have attended the use of her rudder. This exactness or ease may not probably be found so readily attainable in a vessel of large tonnage, but there can be no possible doubt that a vessel of any tonnage may be steered with perfect safety in the Thames, or any other river having a sufficient depth of water, by her screws alone and without any rudder. Some further trials will be made at Portsmouth with the Experiment, it being intended to try her with her masts and sail on board, and her bow gun and carriage fixed in their positions, and with her other stores on board. It is very likely that this last trial will not be attended with the most satisfactory results, as the boat would then be too deep in the water either for speed or sea worthiness, It is the intention of the Admiralty to fit all launches of first-class ships in the same manner in which the Experiment is fitted, and simply as steam-tenders or tow-boats they will be invaluable to the ship they belong to. Towing the ship's boats, with their respective crews on board, or any armed expedition, with her own crew as riflemen, but with no big gun, the steam launch would move along at a good speed ; but the load of a heavy gun and its ammunition and masts and sails would so reduce her speed as to render her all but useless as a towing vessel to the other boats of the ship. With a ship's launch steam • ing up an enemy's river with the other boats of the ship in tow the crews of the latter would not expose themselves in rowing, and, in addition, could bring their rifles to bear on the river's banks from under the cover of their boats' bul warks, if not engaged in working the boat's gun. The Rus sians have for some time supplied single screw steam launches to their ships on foreign service, and use them chiefly as a means of transport, Her Majesty's ship Warrior will, it is expected, be the first vessel in the British Navy ahatwill be supplied with ona aLthe twin screw launches. - The Orontes, screw iron troopship, Capt. W. H. Hire, arrived at . Spitheird, late on Friday evening, from Malta and Gibraltar. The military invalids were transferred from the ship on Saturday to Natley Hospital, and the time-expired men, women, and children, insane men and prisoners, to the depots of their regiments, &c. The naval invalids were transferred to her Majesty's ship Victory, and the Royal and Naval Hospital at Haslar. Two warders and 32 con victs (the latter are tickets-of-leave), who also came from Gibraltar in the ship, were transferred to the convict prism at Portsea. Soma 700 tons of old stores and a large quantity of condemned powder has been sent to England in the ship rom Malta and Gibraltar, The Orontes sailed from Malta on the 31st ult., leaving at anchor there her Majesty's ship Hydra, Procris, and Redpole. The Malacca, 20, screw) sailed from the Rock for England on the 20th ult. The Gib raltar, screw, liner, Capt. Prevost, sailed for Malta on the 31st ult. The Racoon, 20, screw, Capt. Count Gleichen, was lying at Malaga. At Malta there was dullness of trade, and consequent grumbling ashore, owing to the lengthened ab sence of the fleet at the Piraeus, Since leaving England the Orontes has done very efficient service in the Mediterranean in the exchange of regiments between Malta and Gibraltar, and in the performance of which duty the conduct and at tention to the wants of their military passengers of Capt. Hire and his officers are spoken of in very high terms. It is, however, stated that although the Orontes was designed and constructed for an improved Himalaya, she is, in fact, very far from being even the equal of that vessel. Her ma chinery is of insufficient power, and she can with difficulty average 10 knots. Her steering power is also defective, her wheel requiring considerable alterations. At present it takes six men in ordinary weather to steer her. She is an excellent sea boat and remarkably easy in, rough weather. Her immediate requirements (to make her approach the Himalaya in comfort to her passengers and speed) are, a poop on the upper deck, and the present cabin space on the main deck added to the troop berthing ; some alterations to her machinery, and additional boiler space. It will take about three weeks to make good her ordinary defects. The crew of the screw steamship Desperate, 8, were paid off on Saturday at Devonport, in the presence of Admiral. Superintendent Symonds. The sloop will be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam -tender Sprightly, from Parts. mouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, with supernume raries for the Royal Adelaide. The Emerald, 35, screw steam-frigate, 2,913 tons, 600- horse power, Capt. A. Cumming, which recently formed one of the Channel squadron, was paid out of commission by Capt. Charles Wise, A.D.C., Superintendent of Sheerness dockyard, on Saturday. On Friday the officers of the dock yard and Sheerness Steam Reserve inspected the vessel and machinery, and she is to be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve. The sailing transport Empress, belonging to Messrs. boulder Brothers, taken up by the War Department for the transport of the 4th battalion Military Train to Auck land, New Zealand, sailed from - Woolwich pier yesterday morning, in tow of two steamtugs as far as the Nore. The ship's hold was stowed well up with war stores of every de scription, consisting of guns, trenching tools, tents, forage, hospital comforts, and an immense number of cases idled with saddlery, harness, &c., amounting to 100 tons mea surement, and 100 tons of powder and ammunition in her magazines. A large number of sheep, pigs, and poultry were shipped for the voyage, and a patent distilling appa ratus will supply 550 g allons of fresh wa t er per d ay. T he married officers and a proportionate number of the men are accompanied by their wives and families, The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. R. E erners, to the Liffey; Lieut, H. C. Onslcw, to the Tamar ; Arthur Blennerhassen, mid shipman, to the Royalist; Jas. H. 'Wallis, assist.• surgeon, to the Cumberland; Arthur J. Ireland, assist.-surgeon, to the Duke of Wellington; and George Doveson, clerk, to the Adventure. during the past fortnight, principally from the 30th and 23d Depot Battalions at Aberdeen and Cork. The preparations for the Crawley court.martial being completed on the part of the prosecution, it is intended, should Col. Crawley not require more time to arrange his defence, that the Court shall assemble on Thursday next. Apartments in the club-house have been fitted up for him, to prevent the unpleasantness of his removal to and from the court. The members of the Court will comprise Gen. Sir George Wetherell, President ; Major- Gens. Lawrenson (Inspector of Cavalry), Russell (commanding 3d Infantry Brigade at Aldershott), Rumley (Inspector of Infantry), and Hodge (commanding Cavalry Brigade at Aldershott) ; Col. Gambier, Royal Artillery ; Col. Oakes, 12th Lancers ; Lieut.-Col. Jenyns, 13th Hussars ; and Lieut.-Col. Sargent, let battalion 3d Buffs. Sir Alfred Horsford will be prose cutor, and Col. Pipon officiating Judge. Advocate-General. On Friday, in accordance with the sentence of a court martial, the ceremony of drumming out a soldier was per formed at Aldershott. The culprit was Private Peter O'Donnell, of the 76th Regiment, whose extraordinary attempt at desertion was noticed in the Sun about three months ago. It will be remembered that O'Donnell escaped, with bis rifle, bayonet, and 20 rounds of ammuni tion in his possession, into the Long Valley, and for three days kept a pursuing party at bay, being ultimately lost sight of in the direction of Reading. Subsequently he quietly returned to his regiment, was placed under arrest, and tried by court-martial for the offence. Being found guilty on the several counts of desertion, firing at a corporal of the 76th Regiment and a private of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and of losing various articles of regimental apparel, ammunition, &c, he was adjudged to undergo four years' penal servi tude, to be ignominioualy.oxpalled her MAjp.s.ty:a_service, and to be branded with the letter " D." The two companies of the 76th Regiment remaining at Aldershott having assembled in the barrack square, together with the band of the 60th Rifles, the prisoner was marched out haud: i cuffed, wearing only his shirt and trousers, as when last seen at the period of his escape. Since his arrest he has constantly feigned insanity, and he now exhibited a very defiant bearing. The companies being drawn into line, a nd the front rank marched 15 paces to the front, Captain O'Donoghue, the senior officer in command, read the charge and the finding of the court-martial, together with the whole list of offences recorded against the prisoner, from which it appeared that his name had figured in the defaulters' book 41 times, and that he had previously, at Glasgow, been sen tenced to 112 days' imprisonment, and to be branded with the letter D. On the conclusion of the reading of the sen tence the prisoner threw his cap high in the air and shouted, " Long live Queen Victoria! Good bye 1 Three cheers for old Ireland I" Quickly stepping out, he was followed by the band of the 60th Rifles playing " The Rogue's March." On a rriving at the end of the line he turned round, bowed nearly to the ground, again shouted " Good bye," and threw his cap into the air three or four times. He was then marched under an escort of_the 60th Rifles, to the military prison to undergo his full term of punishment. A detachment of 100 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery have arrived at the headquarters of the Ist division of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, from the depot brigade at Warley, to undergo a course of instruc tion in gunnery previously to embarking for service in India or the colonies. The hired transport King Arthar arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from the Thames, and was yesterday towed into Portsmouth harbour, to embark the head-quarters of the 55th Regiment for conveyance to Madras. On Saturday afternoon the Royal Artillery four•oared gig attached to Staddon Fort, in Plymouth Sound, left the Barbican Pier for Bovisand, under the control of Sergeant Drew, No. 7 Battery, 4th Brigade, besides whom there were in her Gunners Hamlyn, Fiederick Hawkings, William Stevens, Sieveley, Robert Johnson, and James Mahoney, Mrs. Drew, wife of Sergeant Drew, Mrs. Wilson, wife of Bombardier Wilson, and Mrs. Brown, wife of Bombardier Brown, all belonging to the same battery. It appears that after she had left the Barbican, and when in the Sound, the oars were taken in and their canvas—a sprit .sai'.—hoisted. Just opposite Staddon Point, shortly before 4 o'clock, a sudden squall from north-west jibbed the boat, which cap sized and turned bottom up. The cries of the people having been heard by the sentry on Staddon Fort. an alarm was instantly raised and artillerymen from the barracks rushed down the hill. Some jumped into the contractor's boat, others assisted in manning the coastguard boat, and both pulled out. Considerable time had, however, Elapsed, and, on coming up to the capsized boat, two persons only were on it—viz., Sieveley and Mrs. Drew. The former was vainly seeking to save the like of the latter, who, although cling ing to the keel of the boat, was quite dead. Johnson was pulled up by his comrades with a rope from Bovisand Pier. Mahoney swami aehorer -All - the rest .wereAraw.u.e.d,-and none of their bodies are as yet recovered. The screw Co.),Captain stea mship Sea ki ng (b e l ong i ng t o M e ssrs. Robertson Pinel, 1,5 u 0 tons burden, went new a alongside Woolwich pier on Saturday, in the service of the War Department, and commenced shipping 1,400 quarter barrels of prepared ammunition for the colonial government of New Zealand. A large amount of stores is in readiness for shipment, including two complete batteries of 12- pounder Armstrong guns, and No. 4 battery, 4tn brigade Royal Artillery, in command of Lieut.-Col. Barston, will embark on Thursiay morning for passage to New Zealand. The strength of the battery has been increased to 258 non commissioned officers and men by a member of volunteers from other brigades since their arrival at Woolwich. The officers, whose names have been inserted in a former num ber of The Sun, are 15 in number. There are likewise six officers' wives and five children, and 60 women. REPORT ON RAILWAYS.—The Commission ap pointed in November, 1861, by the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, to inquire into the working and construction of railways in France, has just published a voluminous but highly interesting report, and it is signed by the vice-president, M. Michel Cheva ier, senator, and the secretary, M. Adolphe Moreau, auditor at the Council of State, whose ability and skill in putting together the materials collected with great pains and research, reflect equal credit on his industry and talent, and fully entitle him to the honour of having his name asssociated with that of so eminent a man as M. Michel Chevalier. There is not a point of interest connected with the subject that has not been thoroughly sifted in this volume, wbieh may be considered more in the light of a treatise on railways than of a dry offieial report. We glean the following recommendations of the Commission as most likely to interest the general reader. Touching the speed of express trains, which in France does not exceed a maximum of 57 kilometres (351 miles) an hour, while in England it attains as much as 71 kilometres (44 miles) an hour, the Commission acknowledges the expediency of raising the average speed to 60 kilometres, but admits that this condition cannot be imposed upon railway companies in the case of lines the gradients of which require a slack ened speed in the interest of the passengers themselves and their personal security ; that it is desirable that there should be at least one express train per day each way on every line, and that, although no steps should be taken in the matter, it would be desirable to admit second and third class pas sengers to the advantage of the express train. Regarding omnibus trains, there should be one at least of these trains per day on the principal lines, going at the rate of 40 kilo metres ('25 miles) per hour. The correspondence or check granted to a passenger for the purpose of exchanging the line by which he has come for another which crosses it has always been the object of special agreement between the companies. The agreements are communicated to the Go vernment, and cannot come into force until the sanction of the Minister has been obtained. As this necessity usually causes great delay, and therefore inconvenience to the pub lic, the commission is of opinion that the agreement should be allowed to be acted up on five da y s after it has been com municated to the Government. The Minister may then, if necessary, suppress it ; but if it should work well, he may sanction it at his leisure. Concernin g the important qu!s don of personal secu rit y in trains, so as to prevent the recurrence of such crimes as that of the murder f .0 1 Poinsot, the Commiss ion examines at len g th the various Poinsot, of - plans plans proposed, such a 5 ;2ell-handles within the_rroeamoor. p as sengers, or the guard being' enjoined to pa ss riae to carriage by means of the l ' oo tb o ards and handles, ei p &c., and arrives at the conclusion that the - , 1 1 6 .. * l:misc hi e f' s enable any one to stop the train, either gr oundless sake, or from some foolish m otive olimp:acticable fear ; and that the second plan . .. ow . , an i where on these lines where the tunnels are too r r" At all events, the guard would be exposed to lose his a l ry to render pas legislative enactments would be n f dfo t d h f e or Co th m i na rd i . s e s l i a o s n s sengers liable to punishment if the means placed at their disposal fordattieelf apparatus, ybeemesausdrepeaseboadt use ot a o i f ni t n h g e assistance. Another recommendation be ast p e r a o el vo o i coke, whenever e s o c n: t tr of in o t nibuses to carriages,is, that e t andher curtains that coal or be blindsused the railway stations.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY, --o - __ This day the customary civic procession went from Gaildhall to Westminster, where Alderman William Lawrence, recently chosen Lord Mayor of the City . of London for the year ensuing, was pre sented to the Barons of the Exchequer, sitting in their court, with all the usual pomp and circum stance. The , weather was auspicious, and great crowds of persons lined the whole route through which the cortege passed. The procession formed in the open space in front of the Guildhall at the usual hour, 12 o'clock, and proceeded by the following route—Gresham-street, Coleman-street, London-wall, Moorgate-street, Princes-street, King William-street, Canon-street, St. Paul's Churchyard, Fleet-street, Strand, to Westminster. The Lord Mayor was attended as usual by his ancient knights and esquires armed cap-a-pie, men in brass and steel, with plumed helmets, lance and standard bearefs, &e., and although the cavalcade was not as extensive as on former occasions, yet it was quite as attractive, and pleased the thousands of holiday maker's and sight seers quite as well as if it had been of more than ordinary length.

COURT OF ExcIaQUER. On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his Lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. a s tandin g position in front The civic party to ok of the bench reserv ed for Queen 's counsel. Th ® RECORDER rho addressed the Court and said—My Lord Chid Baron, I have the honour to introduce to your lordship and this Court the Right Hon. William L a wrence, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year The gracious approval of her Majesty has ensuing , ratif i e d the c hoice c of the citizens, and now his lord ship required tor one entering upon the performance of soh a r esponsible and important office. T he learned gentleman after proceeded to give a brief outline of the career of the now L o rd Mayor, who , he remarked, had carried ona very extensive business for many • years, and in all his dealings had been characterised by honour and integrity. He concluded by saying Lawrence was held in the that Alderman highest esteem by his fellow-citizens. The LORD CHIEF upon BAR oX congratulated Alder man Lawrence having attained the honour so highly-prized and eagerly sought after by every citizen, viz . , that of be ing elected Lord Mayor of London and Chief eing Magistrate of the City of Lon don. Ho was not one of those who thought the present proceeding an idle and unnecessary pageant, because the new Lord Mayor appeared before the Court to claim certain rights and privileges which 15ave belonged to the City from time immemorial. He felt much gratified at the account he had heard from ti t :ke learned Recorder, and he had no doubt that during hi k : lordship's year of office he would exert him self to pertain his duties in the most advantageous and efficient mtznner, that he was certain he would succeed, so that ai its termination he would con tinue to deserve the good opinion of his fellow citizens. The Lord Chief Baron concluded on h i e s remarks by congratulating Alderman Rose manner he had fulfilled his term of office, embracing as it did some of the most important events that had occurred for many years. Alderman LAWRENCE then bowed his acknow. ledgments. The Lon]) MAYOR was then sworn. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render unto her ma j est y a full account of the receipts onaceounhtoef the Crown during h i s Mayoralty , and ~ to behave himself properly" according to the old f or . m of oath, whilst he did so. 'rho other formalities having be e n , B' , )n through, The Lord Mayor, the late Lord officers of the City then witlL through the other courts, the la the Recorder, invited the presi_ City banquet. The procession then returned to the City from Westminster by way of the Strand, Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's-churchyard, Cheapside, King-street, to Guildhall. The London Rifle Bri gade met the procession at Temple-bar, and preceded the Lord Mayor to Guildhall, where they formed a guard of honour.

"It is stated, I know not how truly, that Kagosima is a, city of more than 150,000 inhabitants. In an interesting account of Japan, which appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes of the 15th October, from the pen of M.

But, at all events, let us not forget that our moral power in the world is at stake ; that if, as a people, we condone such crimes as these, when penetrated in our name by those for whom, under heaven, we are alone re sponsible, we shall only invite the scorn of mankind by assuming to tit in judgment, as moral censors upon the delinquencies of other nations.-Believe me, Yours sincerely, " Mr. G.

NADAR'S GIANT BALLOON, The interest excited by M. Nadar' s g i gantic balloon 'and its two ascents from the Champ de M ars i n Paris, with the perils of its descents, so graphically describ e d i n , the French journals, has led to an arrangement by which, fora few days only, it will be exhibited in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace. In order that some idea may be formed of the magnitude of this vast aerial machine, it may be stated that , it so far exceeds in height the great transept of the Palace that the nacelle (or car) cannot be placed in its proper position be neath the balloon, but must be exhibited detached from it. But for the Crystal Palace it would not have been pos sible for the English public to have had the oppoitunity of seeing this great machine ; for at this stormy period of the year ascensions or out-door exhibitions of it are alike im practicable, and no other building of sufficient height is a av o a o i r la o b f le th i e n e which wi t t o h ex th h e ibit it,.

Arrangements have also been made by which trains from the North London Railway at Bow and inter mediate stations will run direct to the Palace, tickets, in cluding admission to the Palace, being issued by th e ra i l . way company. The car arrived at Folkeston on Saturday, and was to be at the Palace in the evening. The balloon itself, in charge 1 o f M. Nadar's assistants, was to leave Paris on Saturday night, and is expected to arrive at the Painco iu the course I of to-day. , THE ARMY. The result of the. official inquiry into the circumstances connected with the origin of the fire at Aldershott Camp on Friday has not been divulged. It is neverthless known unofficially that the stable in which the outbreak occurred was:visited by a man appointed under a contractor for the purpose of trimming the lamps just previous to the occur rence of the Lire, and one of tlio posts to which a lamp was attached was found ignited by the sentry on duty in the building, but could not be extinguish'ed before the flames had obtained overwhelming mastery. Representationshave more than once been made to the War-office authorities re specting the unfitness of the temporary stables in camp, both as regards the material of which titer were consirueted and the probable effects of weather on th e horses ouartered in such buildings—but .the answer has been in every ras e " that there were no funds which could be devoted to the erection of more permanent and suitable buildings." The space which the burnt stables occupied has been cleared, and the bodies of the animals destroyed have been buried by the side of the Basingstoke Canal. The two companies of the 76th Regiment left at Alder shott for the purpose of filling up with volunteers to the re quiredwill leave about the:2oth inst. for Mactroe. A large number of smartyoung tofm have joined SCENE AT A PRIZE FIGHT. A prize fight lately came off between Tom Daly and Billy 111'Grath, at the Washoe race track, Virginia. After 14 rounds had been fought, a blow was struck which was voted" foul," which resulted in the following scene :—" Harry Lazarus had been betting freely on M'Grath, and was loud in his denunciition of the referee, and everybody who agreed with him in his decision. A Mexican named Maldonado, alias " Muchaeb," had been betting on Daly, and kept crying out that the blow was foul. ' L azar us called him a liar, and pistols were immedi ately drawn. It is impossible to say who drew first ; it was enough to do tog et out of the way. As soon as Lazarus and " Muchach' commenced firing, two or three other parties, joined in. About the ring at this time were 1,000 or 1,200 men, a large number of horses, in vehicles and otherwise, and the excite ment and confusion that ensued beggar all descrip tion. Ti,e firing and the deafening shouts and yells of the combatants and surging crowd frightened ma ny horses, whose rearing and plunging served to add to the danger and consternation of all in the vicinity. Two horses were shot in the melee, and theny the e ly wonder is th a t more men were not struck random pistol balls that flew singing the th ringrongh the air in ev er y di rec ti on. Returning to we found it almost deserted, the wounded men " Muchach" and Lazarup, having the saloon near th e gate of the enclosure. b een carried Thith t e o r we repaired, and found " Muchach" lying on a table, stripped to the waist, with a ball hole in his right breast close to the nipple, another near the pit of his stomach, and we were told that another ball had entered his side, and another struck one of his arms. On another table, stripped likewise to the waist, lay y Harry Lazarus. One ball struck hisn in the breast, pretty high up, about two inches above the right nipple ; another ball had so shattered the fingers of his right hand that it was found necessary to amputate two of them after his removal to Washoe city. His hand was struck while he WO • in the act of levelling his pistol, and it is thought that the bail which entered his breast was the 0 11028 that shattered .his fingers.—American paper. ,;f sanheimrignsi bcayseesxenefssiv --- e ,„„aeroOD;' SILVERPEN'S " LIFE OF 74:MAU] VY P .

About 12 grammes penetrated into the respiratory organs; the consequence was a violent fit of coughing with a feeling of suffocation; but this fit only lasted two minutes, a nd halfean-hour later the patient only complained of a slight sensation of heat about the bifurca tion of the broachiea.
