It is well known that house property in London, whether :freehold or leasehold judiciously purchased and managed . , with experience, is to the large proprietor a most remuner a . tire investment. The objees of this Company are to 'purchase, from +;( tile to time; such freehold or leasehold property in Londr jn a n d it s neighbourhood, as 'may offer facilities for adaptat,,' class houses, offices, and chambers, or which r„ ay on to first otherwise present special capabilities for improvement A Shareholder of moderate means may flu . 4 participate in the ownership of suc h proper y, and enjoy the advantages of .a high rate of interest, combined w1:01 Complete security for his investment. By the Art'cles of Association p - tors to pay int erest half-yearl " i er annum at sper cent, ower is given to th e Direc tors the paid-up cap i tal of tf - je compapny, without reference to the divide n d s t o b e declared on such c a pit a L The first step of thy.: r jc.impany will be the p urc h ase and development of some first-class freehold properties at the West-end, for securin .t-' 4 . which most advanta_ eous agreements have been ent ere d i a ato, the vendors showing their faith in the undertaking bv: agreeing to take a portion of the pur chase-money in Pr.rtly paid-up Shares of the Company. These properjes present, in situation and in the noble character of ti. ments of surer e buildings partially erected, remarkable ele ss. It is estimated that an ontlay of £40,000 been made upon them, all which, together with the w al h r o e ' a ' dvi of the valuable freehold sites. has been secured by the Cc,mp Any for less than the outlay which has been made taildings alone. From careful surveys it is calculated that a further outlay of £20,010 will fully complete and fit up all the buildings, either as several first-class houses or as residental and official chambers, and the rental to be derived therefrom has lor.,en estimated by experienced valuers to produce a sufficient fa - um to ensure interest and dividend amounting to 15 per cent. and upwards (arising from property ever increasing in value), after making ample deduction for repairs, out-goings, and management ; and when these properties are completed and occupied, it is calculated they may be resold at a profit of 50 per cent. to the Company. An advantageous .negotiation has also been concluded for the acquisition of a very eligible Freehold and Leasehold Estate of considerable magnitude, which will produce a large Income from houses of the most improving description. Arrangements have been made with a resPeztable and ex perienced firm for the agency of the properties belonging to the Comp any. As a proof of their confidence in its fo rsucces these gentlemen have agreed to forego r4ll remuneration r their services until the shareholders sh 0110 percent. ;411 receive a dividend Full partiulars of the proposed o perations of the Company may be obtained at Bathe Offices, Ni;).

The success att a i n PROSPECTUS.ed by the Cr&lit MobiHer of T.'.aris has 'recently led to the estFtblishment of somewhat s. : ,milar insti. tutions in London, their introduction meetin:g with marked success, as is evidenced by the large dividnflas paid to their chareholders,and increased value of the `snares, such increase being from 100 to 200 per cent, on tlO amount paid. The fact fleet Scotland, la°t witl'standing the magnitude and rapid increase of her commerce, has no institution of the kind contemplated, has s ligg - ested to the projectors of the present company the forme similar principles to the %eon of an institution founded on bracing a larger field for j e'ridit Mobilier of Paris, but ern e its operations.

The directors have succeeded in completing arrange ments for the purchase of the welt-known, established, and profitable business of Messrs. D. Nathan and Co., of Cornhill, London, bullion and exchange hankers '(who take a large responsibility in the company), upon such terms and conditions as will be satisfactory to the shareholders, the paymentof the purchase money being made entirely in shares of the company. Arrangements have also been mass for the transfer, upon equally favour able terms, of the business of N.

These arrangements will constitute a nucleus, and enable the directors at once to co mmence operations, as they enter upon a valuable connection of many years' standing, and 'embracing a very large number of foreign correspondents. The objects proposed to be effected by the company are— ]. To receive money at call or on deposit for fixed terms, and the ordinary business of bankers. 2. To grant temporary or permanent loans on approved public securities or private undertakings of undeubted merit and known solidity. 3. To make advances on merchandise and dock and other warrants, on title deeds of property in possession or rever sion for any temporary purpose, on contracts for carrying out or the finishing of works, or any other securities wh ere their sa f ety i s unquestionable and the benefit to the com pany sufficiently advantageous. 4. The purchase and sale of the precious metals in all their forms. The company will be enabled by its facilities and connexiocs, to import and export bullion, and to deal in foreign coins and bank notes on an extensive scale. 5. By means of the Paris branch it is proposed to un dertake the shipment of silver to the East via Marseilles, which can bo done at a considerable saving of expense and imo. 6, The business transacted by the issue of small bills and letters of credit for the convenience of travellers and emi grants is incredible. Remittances from America to Ireland alone amount to several millions sterling per annum. By affordi ng the same facilities to the English, German, and French population of America it is confidently anticipated that most profitable business can be done. 7.

This invaluable Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no parallel. Instances have been known, in which sufferers have been confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less than 24 hours after taking the above medicine, and themselves rendered able to resume their avocations. Indeed, the effect has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence, challenges the medical world to rroduce a medicine equal to it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the human frame it adds an a,;reeable impetus ; to the system goner Ally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and male or female may take it to equal advantage. A dose of the above medicine taken about once a month operates most effectually in preventing a return of the complain , . Pri,e ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. per bottle.

A heavy storm has delayed operations in Virginia for a day or two past, but the news of a great battle is daily expected. All reliable information thus far received concerning General Lee's move ments indicates that he will not fall back to. wards Richmond, but will offer battle on the Rapidan, or possibly assume the offensive. His troops are being concentrated at Orange Court house. A 'considerable rebel force is at Fredericks burg, throwing up earthworks on the heights. One division of Longstreet's army is said to be at Honour Court-house in reserve. All accounts agree in admitting the recent heavy reinforcements re ceived by General Lee. His army is believed to number at least one hundred thousand men. He is said to have twenty-two thousand effective cavalry. The rear of Beauregard's army passed through Petersburg on the 30th ult., according to rebel accounts. The town of Madison Court-house has been burned , by the Federal troops. The reason assigned is that a body of rebels took refuge in the place, and fired upon Union troops from the houses. A. Federal cavalry force encountered a email body of Mosby's guerillas near Upperville, and, after a brisk fight, captured 20 of them. The army of the Potomac is represented to be larger than General Lee's, and is excellent fighting condition. Southern papers say that a battle near Chatta nooga is near at hand.

A rebel cavalry force under Van Zandt had ap peared at n abeneyville, 19 miles below Alexandria. The rebels are also reported to have a large cavalry force near Baton Rouge. Rebel accounts claim that Kirby Smith captured in the recent battles in Louisiana 2,500 prisoners, 35 pieces of artillery, and 200 waggons.

" The U. S. gunboat Petrel was boarded and cap tured on the 23d ult., near Yazoo City, by some of Wirt Adams's rebel cavalry. The force under General Adams is esteltnated at between 3,000 and 5,000. The rebels make desperate attacks upon all Federal boats passing in the Mississippi river, and the navigation of that stream, except by iron-- clads, is deemed very hazardous. Two hundred rebel cavalry under Colonel Powers dashed into Port ,Hudson recently and captured one gun and 19 prisoners, killing and wounding about 90. Patron—Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN.

And now let any Union man who complains of the measure test him.- self by writing down in one line that he is in favour of supporting the rebellion by force of arms, and in the next that he is in favour of teking these 130,000 men from the Union side and placing them where they would be but fir the measure he con- demns. If he cannot face his cause so stated, it is only because he cannot face the truth, I add a word which was not in the verbal conversation. In telling this tale I attempt no compliment to my own sagacity. I claim net to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have con tolled me.

If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the Nortb, as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for the complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of'God.--Yours, truly, A. LINCOLN, The great banking-hot; of Coutts and Co. arose under circumstances not less striking than those connected with the history of Jones, Loyd, and Co. The father of Mr. Coutts was a merchant at Edin burgh who had four sons, the two youngest of whom, James and Thomas, were brought up in the paternal counting-house. James, at the age of twenty-five, came to London, and first settled in St. Mary Axe as a Scotch merchant, from which business, however, he subsequently retired to be come a banker. He took a house in the Strand, the same in which the firm still exists; and he was joined here, some years after, by his brother Thomas as a partner—the business being carried on under the name of James and Thomas Coutts. James Coutts died early, and Thomas was then left sole pro prietor of the bank. His high integrity, joined to a very enterprising spirit, soon gained him many friends, and made him remarkably successful in his business. A characteristic instance both of his shrewdness and enterprise is given by Mr. Lawson, in his " History of Banking." In the early part of his career Mr. Coutts, anxious to secure the eordisl co operation of the heads of the various banking houses in London, was in the habit of frequently inviting them to dinner. On one of these occasions the manager of a City bank, in retailing the news of the day, accidentally remarked that a certain nobleman had applied to his firm for the loan of £30,000 and had been refused. Mr. Coutts listened and said nothing; but the moment his guests had retired, about ten o'clock in the evening, he started off to the house of the nobleman mentioned and requested the honour of an interview with his lord ship the next day. On the following morning the nobleman called at the bank. Mr. Coutts received him with the greatest politeness, and, taking 30 one-thousand pound notes from a drawer, presented them to his lordship. The latter, very agreeably surprised, exclaimed—" But what security am I to give you ?" " I shall be satisfied with your lord ship's note of hand," was the reply. The I 0 U was instantly given, with the remark, " I find I shall only require for the present £10,000; I therefore return you £20,000, with which you will be pleased to open an account in my name." The generous—or, as it may more truly be called, exceedingly well ealeulatcd—act of Mr. Coutts was not lost upon the nobleman, who, in addition to paying in within a few mouths £200,000 to his ae. count, the produce of the sale of an estate, nem mendid several high personages to patronise the bank in the Strand. Among the new clients who did so patronise it was King George 111. Mr. Coutts had not only many friends bat real admirers among the nobility, and was an object of attraction to not a few designing matrons, who would have been but tco happy to marry their noble but portionless daughter to the rich banker. These aristocratic matrimonial specula tions were somewhat rudely dispelled by the choice which Mr.:Coutts made of a wife, in the person of Elizabeth Starkey, a domestic in his brother's service. The union was productive, it is said, of great happiness to the banker; and, though children of a servant, his three daughters married three noble men—namely, the Marquis of Bute, the Earl of Guildford, and the celebrated Sir Francis Bur dett. After the death of his first wife Mr. Coutts gave his hand to Miss Mellon, are actress. On this second marriage, both Mr. and Mrs. Coutts were made the constant subjects of unworthy ridicule, which, however, had no other effect than that of strengthening the confidence of the husband in his wife. This confidence was displayed in a remarkable tuanner in the last will and testament of Mr. Coutts. By this,will he left the whole of his for tune,amounting to above £900,000, to his widow, for her sole use and benefit, and at her absolute disposal without the deduction of a single legacy to any person. Mrs Coutts subsequently married the Duke of St. Albans ; but under her marriage settlement wisely reserved to herself the whole control of the immense fortune left to her by her first husband. Oa her death she bequeathed the vast property to the favourite grand-daughter of Mr Coutts, Miss Angela Burdett—the estimable and beneficent lady, founder of so many churches and schools, who is now well known as Miss Angela Burdett Coutts. Miss A. B. Coutts continues to be the principal proprietor of the old bank in the Strand, the bnsi• ness being conducted for her by trustees, under the old style of Coutts and Co.—. Railway News.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.—CoIoneI Raczkow ski, one of the most idefatigablo chiefs of the Polish insurrection, who quitted Paris in February, 1863, to take part in the events then taking place in Poland, and who remained there after that period, and was present at various actions fought with the Russians, has arrived in Paris. He is, perhaps, the only one of the insurrectionary Chiefs who exposed his life so many hundred times without ever having been wounded. Colonel Raczkowski is an old officer of the Prussian army. Ho subsequently served in the Brazilian army with the rank of captain. He had just arrived in Paris from the Brazils when the Polish insur rection broke out, and he hastened to assist his countrymen in throwing off the Muscovite yoke. General Bossah, who fought so long and so successfully in the palatinates of San domir and of Cracow, has joined his famiiy at Geneva. It appears from . the information received from various sources that the insurrection in Poland has been completely sup pressed. Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cam ' bridge wore a black glace silk train trimmed with ruches of silk and tulle; a petticoat of black glace silk coy( red with tulle, richly trimmed with lace and bows of win ribbon ; headdress a diadem of diamonds, feathers, and silver tulle veil; stomacher, .necklace, and earrings of diamonds.

WILLIAM SEARLE.—It is With great regret we announce the decease of Mr. Win. Searle, who expired in his 49th year a few minutes before 1 o'clock on Friday morning. Well known to the public as an excellent actor, and much esteemed by the profession, the intelligence of his death will be received by both play goers and performers with deep sorrow. Mr. Wm. Searle was born in January, 1816, and having lost both his parents before his 14th year, he sought employment in a solicitor's office, where he remained Iwo years. Finding his taste led him to the stage, ho made his debut as a youth of 16 at the Surrey,Theatre, then under Osbaldieton's management, and the encouragement he received induced him to apply for and obtain a situation at the Adelphi, where he played for some time a series of small parts. After some provincial tractice with Down in York Circuit, and Smith in the Nor. with Circuit, he came back to town prepared to take a higher range of parts. He joined the Strand Theatre, of which the late W. J. Hammond was then manager, and made his first recognised "hit" in the part of Bats in Douglas Jerrold's " Perils of Pippins." Having remai ne d 7 years at the Strand , ho became a prominent member of the late George Wild's com p an y at the Olympic, where he stayed till 1544. Soon after he accepted the position o f s t age manager of the City of London I heatre, which he filled with credit to himself and advantage to the manage ment for nearly 14 years. He afterwards neemoied the post o f s t a ge-manager at Astloy's. Mr. Searle was an admir able "character" actor, and in the picturesque.udr d e g ssi e n n g t o o his parts showed much of t he care and artistic judgm Mr, 0. Smith , o n whose peculiar style of acting l evidently modelled his own.

THE QUEEN, it is significantly remarked by the Spectator, held a Court at Buckingham Palace on Wednes day, Her Majesty wore the blue riband and badge of the Garter, the badges of the Victoria and Albert Order, and, says the Court Circular, which does not make mistakes on such points, "the Order of Queen Louise of Prussia." NOT PAYING DEARLY FOR HIS WHISTLE—BUT BEING WELL PAID FOR IT.—Music, it seems, has still the charms the poet ascribed to it. Mr. Cox, son of an English physician of Valparaiso, had been exploring an almost unknown inland sea in Chili and the river Limeys when the party fell into the hands of a tribe of wild In dians. The Cacique wanted to kill him for visiting his dominions without permission ; but Mr. Cox Played hint a tune on the flageolet, and the chief relented a nd let hint go. Surely that Cacique must be an Arian in an in choate state, with tendencies which will ultimately develop into a passport system and a love far op era. Ad miral Fitzroy, we perceive, thinks there is " rnet"i g in these regions more valuable than Caciques, n amely, th ree new of the great f people as no varieties of the potato. MR. ANTHONY TROLLOPE'S SKILL AS A N o _ one eLellssTe can.-- H eHcae does nwr x i i wr ite th out hesitate thete to talk give himself trouble of recording in full what, at a give n cr i sis, his to .say. Very cha racters might be supposed often there are three or four whole p a g es entirely filled with conversation, n ot and this conversation is never dull, or forced, or epigram matic. Nor is it trivial. It seems to come from the people as if it were inevitable it should come, and yet it is all coloured with the peculiarities of each individual, and all seems goo d, sensible, apt talk in its way. When all is excellent, one example i s as good as another; but per haps, as a triumph over difficulties, we might select the conversation of Lord de Guest and Johnny Eames, when t h e Earl asks his young friend to meet Colonel Dale. There really is hardly any basis for talk at all. There is very little that any of them can say that can be made to affect the story, and all that can cane under this head might be easily got into a page or two. Lord de Guest is not made to wander into subj ec t s foreign to the main plot, or t o ca ll up anec d otes an d reminiscences, and things of that sort. He and Johnny talk about Lily Dale, but they talk at once so fully and so naturally that it seems as if a re a l conversa ti on we re going on; while yet what 'bey ray has an interest, and we do not find ourselves get ting tired of their confidences.—AS'atyrday _Review.

President Lincoln on Slavery and Eman. cipation, The American papers publish the following:— Executive Mansion, Washington, April 4. . _ A, G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky. 114 dear Sir,—You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said, the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows :—I am naturally anti• slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unre ' stricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and de fend the constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it my view that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood that, in ordinary civil administratien, this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary, abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to this day, I have done no official Sc.: in mere deference to my ab stract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did under stand, however, that my oath to preserve the con stitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving by every indispensable means that Government—that nation, of which that con stitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the constitution ? By general law, life and limb must be protected ; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I feel that measures otherwise unconstitutional might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the constitution. Right or wrong, I aasumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the constitution, if to save slavery or any minor matter I should permit the wreck of government, country, and constitution altogether. When early in the war General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity, When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secre tary at War, suggesting the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an in dispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When in March and May, and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favour compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation ; and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition, end I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alter native of either surrendering the Union, and with it the constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the coloured element. I chose the latter. In choos ing it I hoped for greater gain than loss ; but of this I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it in our foreign rela tions; none in our home popular sentiment; none iu our white military force—co less by it anyhow or anywhere. On the contrary, it shows a gain of quite 130,000 soldiers, seamen and labourers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can be ifr 72 z §N what " Happy Land" cap I see you after the 311_ "Op era ?" i only know of One HAPPY LAND in which a Gentleman may Sup—EVANS', COVENT GARDEN, my dear fellow! illy ❑anl 1 so vith rtu- in the the• was ume dyn IODS Mr.. then ions clo the He L the II
