No. 95, Blehopsgate. street Within (adjoining Gresham House). This Company is formed for the purpose of introducing to the United _Kingdom of Ore Britain and Ireland the Pho togenic Light, equally obtainable from ordinary gas or at mospheric air, by Moneruel's Patent Cold Generator. A light which is at the same time powerful, cheap, and healthy needs only that its possession of those qualities should be established in order to secure its immediate adop tion by the public. The Photogenic Light has been publicly exhibited in Lon don for some months past to thousands of persons, including chemists, engineers, gasfitters, and large consumers. During. the period referred to practical experience has demonstrated. Its economy, the grest increase of brilliancy it gives to ordi nary gas. and the important tact of the constancy and dura bility of that increase. It has been and is about being erected on a large scale in some Important esta - dishments in London, and may new be seen, from twelve to three o'clock daily, at the Company's Offices, 95, Bishopsga e-street Within, where a few minutes' inspection will convince capitalists and con sumers that it possesses the following advantages which are confidently claimed for it. 1. That, when atmospheric air is used, it can he made in any house or establishment, costs less than ordinary g as, gives a whiter an d more ,intense light, w ith o ut smell or smoke, and is mo re h ea lth y. 2. That it is not necessary to make any alterations in exist ing gas fittings, except in some cases with the burners . ; and that where no servic e at present exists it will c ost less to Jay down the pipes, &c. &c. 3. That in consequence of the absence of ammcniacal_an e, d sulphurous acid vapours, it does not injure the mslnt,guatn Or furniture of apartments. and that it is inexplosive. 4. That when used to enrich and purify ordinary gag it is only necessary that the Sit leaves the meter, should pass through M. Mongr g arl'e a Generator to the burners, in order to acquire an increased illuminating power of from 150 to 400 per cent., while the consumption of the gas itself is diminished by at least one-fourth. 5. That when used as last stated, in order to obtain a light equal to that of ordinary gas , t he consum p tion of such g as is diminishedinished by upwards of V per cent., while the heat and other injurious effects arising from the use of gas are dimi nished in proportion. It is unnecessary to dwell on the importance of these ad vantages. some or all of them have been sought ever since the days of Windsor and Murdock; and ingenious inventors are still occupying themselves with the carburation of gas, since it has long been known that by dissolving carburetted hydrogen vapours in . hydrogen gas, the latter acquires a triple or quadruple illuminating power. What, however, was wanted, and M. Mongruel has invented, is an appara us which will produce a constant vapour, always equally rich in carbon, so that the light is at all times the same. With a'l other apparatus used for the purpose, the generation of the -vapours being effected on the mass of the liquid contained therein, the most volatile parts of the liquid naturally first escape, thus impoverishing the remainder, which daily gives less and less light, until the light disarpears altogether, while a considerable quantity of the liquid is still left in the apparatus. In M. Mongruei's Generator, on the contrary, the mass of the liquid is enclosed hermetically in an upper chamber, A hence it descends by a small tube, to form a thin sheet on the bottom of the lower chamber, wherein its va porisation is effected, and is supplied, drop by drop, only as what has preceded it is consumed. Without springs or me chanism, which may break or get out of order, it maintains a level physically and mathematically constant, and produces the vapours regularly, according to requirement. Further, the mass of the liquid held in reserve to feed the sheet which is vaporising cannot become impoverished, as it is sheltered from all contact with the gaseous currents. It may be as well to repeat that the generator th us de sCribed is equally applicable to the carburation of ordinary gas or atmospheric air ; and that the liquid employed by M. Mongruel, although greatly superior to, is very little if at an more expensive than any previously use t for similar pur poses, and is not l.kely to vary much in its cost. Ot this valuable invention, M. Mongruel has agreed to assign to this Company his patent and p tent rights, for the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands, for a sum equal to one-fourth of the capital of the Company; of which sum he is to receive £5,000 only in cash and the remainder in fully paid-up shares of the Company, thus showing his confidence In its commercial success. It is impossible in a prospectus to point out all the sources from which profit may be expected to be derived by this Company. In addition to those to arise from the sale of the Generators and of the liquid employed therein, others have daily presented themselves in the course of the demonstra tions made diving the short time the Photogenic Light has been exhibited in London. Numerous applications have already been made for licences to be worked by sub-companies or otherwise, in such towns as Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Dublin, Edinburgh, &c., Arc. ; not to speak of the host of small towns, where gas, being mueh dearer than in those just named, the economical advantages of this light will be proportionately greater. Similar applications have also been made, and may be ex pected, for the application of atmospheric air to the lighting of small towns and large villages, in which gas does not exist, as also of railway "stations and trains, gentlemen's seats, paper and other mills, factories, churches, chapels, schools, unions, prisons, and other establishments, in iso lated places, where so healthy a light would be invaluable, and in which ordinary gas could at present be only obtained at an amount of expense and trouble for which it would not compensate. _ here is, further, every probability that this light will be adopted in many of our Government establishments, par ticularly in lighthouses and in her Majesty's vessels of war, to which of course it will not be confined, as it is equally ap plicable to the large ships of our commercial marine. Lastly, there is London, in which the application of Pho togenic Light to the enrichment of a small portion only of the enormous quantity of gas consumed (estimated to exceed 5.000 millions of cubic feet per annum) must effect an eco nomy of that article, and an increase of light, the benefits of which, if only moderately shared in by this company, must alone suffice to yield large dividends on any amount of capi tal it may be found desirable to employ. But, in addition to the sources of profit named above, other and large ones may be reckoned on ; as. for example, those arising from the sale of the Phctog;enic Generators and Pho togen, f,r export to all those parts of the world in which M. Mongruel his not obtained letters patent for his invention. As this Company will alone be in a situation to make and sell these articles in this country, and as they will neces sarily be made in very large quantities, by contract, or at the Company a own works, they must yield, even if sold at mo derate prices, very considerable profits to the Company. Beyond the amount to be paid to M. Mongruel for his pa tent and patent rights, no charge will be made for the forma tion of the Company beyond the actual preliminary expenses Incurred therein. Applications for shares must be made in the accompanyinc, form only, and the required deposit of £1 per share paid to the bankers of the Company, or at the Company's offices. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full. Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of the bankers, broker, and solicitor of the Company , and at the Company's Offices, where any further desired information will be given.

This Company has been duly registered with limited lia bility. Its object is the purchase of a large interest in the cele brated lead mines of Monteponi, in the Island of Sardinia, together with the extensive lead smelting establishment of Pertusola and the Sarzanello Coal Mine in the Gulf of Spezz. The purchase-money for these properties (including eleven twelfths of the Monteponi Mine), plant, engines, (1/c is £150,000, and it is estimated that £50,000 will be required as floating capital, so that in fixing the nominal capii al at £t50,000, a margin of £50.001 is left to enable the Company to take advanta'e of such opportunities as may present them selves of extending their interest in Italian mines. This undertaking differs essentially in its nature from ordi nary mining enterprises. Its capital being invested in the purchase of mines and works, which are in full operation, and yielding very large returns. Full prospectuses with forms of application for shares may be had at the offices of the Company, No. 6, Queen-street place. London, or of the Brokers of the Company, Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son. No application will be con sidered unless a deposit of £1 for each share applied for shall have been previously made with the Bankers of the Com pany. This sum will be returned in full in the event of no allotment being , made. ~~~~ _ 411111 6 \ \ .41)11C." ‘ , • - -.4"; ,• ,e , •e: , \\\ ( . 4).10 " ' e d , -- bpoila o ,„ .

This Bank will be the first established in the Russian Em pire of Russia, with the exception of Moscow, the e is virtually no banking accommodation whatever; although, in order to keep p ice with the rapidly increasing production and com mercial development of the Russian Empire, banking facility has become an absolute necessity. The exports of Russia durng the last thirty-five years have trebled in amount, and the average exports to England alone, in the years 18(0, 1861, and 1862, amounted to nearly £14,000,000 sterling per annum. The rate charged by the State Bank at the present moment is 54 per sent., and in the open mirket the best mercantile paper cannot be discounted under 7 per cent. When the high standing of the firms engaged in the Russian trade is borne in in nd it is evident that the St. Petersburgh trade alone will yield a large. - profit to a well-regulated Bank; and when it is remembered that in the interior interest rules (according to districts) at from 8 to 15 per cent., it may fairly be assumed that the prospects of this Bank are even better than those of the London Joint-Stock Banks, of which the four principal have, as is well known, paid Dividends of from 15 to 24 per cent. per annum on their paid-up Capital. The Court of Directors will be formed from the most in fluential of the shareholders in accordance with the terms of the preliminary concession already obtained. No payment will. be required nor liability incurred until the shares have been duly allotted. In the meantime applications in the annexed form will be received by the Brokers, Messrs.

This Railway, of the leoe-th of 161 Engliih miles, will con nect Dunaburg , th e t erm i nus of the Riga and Dunaburg Railway, with Witepsk. The Line passes through one of the most productive districts of Russia, furnishing a large pro pm- ion of the exports from Riga ; and, in facilitating the transport of produce of the rich and wheat. growing pro vinces of Smolensk, Mohilew, H ursk, and Orel, will prove of the greatest importance both to England and Russia. In consequence of the absolute impossibility of forwarding p;oods at certain seasons of the year, and the very heavy charges at all times, a great part of the produce of these lat ter provinces has hitherto been almost lost to exportation, or available only in seasons when the markets of Western Europe were approaching famine prices. The transport of the colonial and foreign produce required in this part of the interior, effected hitherto, to a great extent, at heavy charges from St. Petersburg, will be carried on by means of this Rail way from Riga, to Witepsk direct, and be thence distributed. There will also be a considerable passenger traffic, as the above-named provinces are amongst the most populous of the empire. This Railway will be the only convenient and expeditious route for the inhabitants both to St. Petersburg and Western Europe. The Russian Government, attributing special importance to the early construction of this line, has granted a conces sion of the most favourable character, embracing privileges never before obtained. Among the distinguishing features of the concession are the following :- Ist. The Company is to be constituted according to English law, with the Board of Direction in London, and an Agency of three Directors in Riga. 2d. The Government guarantees the interest in sterling money, not, as in previous cases, in roubles. 3d. The Government also guarantees an additional sum payable half yearly, on the capital g 5 5 f y /2 .18 0 . 0,000, sufficient to redeem the whole capital at par in 4th. Both the interest and the sinking fund are payable half-yearly at fixed dates. sth. The net receipts of the line are applicable in relief of the Government Guarantee ; but the Company is authorised, in priority, to set apart 10 per cent. of such net receipts, to the extent of £lOO,OOO to form a reserve fund against contin gencies. 6th. The shareholders are entitled to all net profits of the line, up to 6 per cent., on the nominal capital of £2,600,000. They are further entitled to one-half of all urther profits, over and above the 6 per cent., until the Government i s re imbursed the moneys which it may have paid in respect of the guaranteed interest beyond the net earnings of the line ; after which reimbursement, the shareholders are entitled to the whole of the net profits, whatever they may be.

This Company is formed under the highest auspices in Por tugal, to carry on the Cork Trade on a rare scale, with ad vantages that hitherto have never been combined. The Directors have secured a large monopoly in supply for terms of years, on Leases extending over the largest and most renowned Cork-producing districts. These Leases grant the sole right to take Cork in 142 forests, some contain ing as many as 15,000 to 30,0 Y 0 Cork Trees, in the districts of Moritemor, Evora, Arraiollos, Es remoz, Portel, Vianna, and Fronteira, in the province of Alem -Tejo. The title and extent of these Leases have been verified by an independent agent at Lisbon deputed by the Solicitors of a London Bank. The South-Eastern Railway of Portugal will place this large district of Cork-producing country in immediate com munication with the Port of Lisbon. The It ilway is open to Vendas Novas, and is about to be opened to St. Jago, and in the present year the Branch Lines to Evora and Beja will also be completed. The Directors Lave secured for 96 years ample land adjoin ing the Railway Jenctioti at St. Jago, for the erection of Warehouses and other necessary Buildings. The Cork Trade is at present carried n through the in strumentality of the Algraveos, persons who, traveling from forest to forest,purchase on the ground parcels of Cork,which, at great labour and expense, they carry to Lisbon and other places, where it is prepared fbr export. The money for these purchases is usually borrowed by them at high rates of in terest, frequently at 20 to 30 per cent., thereby considerably increasing the coat of the Cork by this large Item of expense. The waste attending the preparation of the Cork for the market is about one-half. The Company having large dis tricts of Cork Forest, with a central depot at the Railway Junction at St. Jago, and the establishments in the heart of this Cora-producing country, already in full work, at Azaruj a, Igrejinha, Alcacovas, and Portel, will be enabled to effect a large saving in t he waste and transport alone, as the cost of carrying Cork to the chief preparing and shipping ports, in a rough state, adds very considerably to the rat cost of the Cork in the Forests, and the present large waste in prepar ing the Cork will be very greatly reduced in the amount. The Forests secured by this Company now produce with the inadequate and imperfect means hitherto employed, the estimated annual value of £12,500, in marketable Cork, as established by the average shipments of the produce during the last four years, and whi c h it is calc u l a t e d w i ll b e in by the superior available means of the Company to at least double the amount formerly obtained. The demand and consumption of Cork in England has increased since the year 1848 three hundred per cent., and is still increasing* far beyond the actual means of supply, thus offering a certain basis for the profitable employment of capital. The Directors have secured last year's crop of Raw Cork, estimated at 1,100 tons, which is in preparation, and are therefore enabled to commence business at once, and five sales of Cork which have already been c ffected from the Com pany's Stock, consisting of about 170 tons, have realised about £4,390 net, in addition to which a cargo of 50 tons, ex steamer Mavrocordatus, arrived at the London Docks on the 15th of May. The Purchase Money for the whole of the Leases, together with the Plant in Portugal, and the last year's crop of Cork, now preparing for market, will not exceed £30,000. Of this £B,OOO only being less than the estimated value of the Company's Plant and Cork in hand, will be paid for in cash, the remainder is to be taken in Shares of the Company half-paid up, with the same liability for calls as all other Shares_ _ The Directors will submit the following statement for the first year, with the greatest confidence in the result. The present Crop will produce in London, within Six Months— At least 500 tons of Cork, of an average value of £3O per ton Gross At a cost of—For Labour in Portugal,£3,ooo 0 0 „ Part Rent „ Freight and Landing 2,000 0 0 „ Rent, Salaries, & C l,lOO 0 0 _ _ 6,500 0 0 00 0 0 E stimated Commission on Consignments expected by the Comn, sa £1,50 Equal to 16i per cent. upon tbe y entir o e . Capital about to be called up. The advantages possessed by this Company are 1. The exclusive right of taking Cork over a vast extent of Country. 2. The co-operation of the Landed Proprietors, Members of the Foreign Direction. 3. The present Crop of 500 tons, which is coming forward from the Company's Forests (about 220 tons of which have already arrived in London and elsewhere) ; and at the first Public Sale of a part thereof, by Mr, T. SIDNEY SMITH. of No. 42, Lombard-street, it realised considerably more than the Price stated by the Di rectors in the above Statement. The chief management of the affairs of this Company will be vested in the Directors in London, and subject to the fu ture control of the Shareholders. The Foreign Directors have stipulated that not less than 10,000 of the Shares (but including those paid on purchase ac count) shall be offered for allotment to Subscribers in P or t ugal. If no allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full. Applications for Shares must be made in the Form annexed to the Prospectus, and accompanied by a Banker's Draft or Cheque upon a Banker, for a deposit of 10s. per share.

STAMPED ....sd. Dinner given by the London Scottish Volunteers to Lord Elcho. A dinner was given last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, by the London Seottish Volunteers to their Lieut.- Colonel, Lord Elcho, with the special object of congratu lating him on the successful result of the Volunteer In quiry Commission, fur the appointment of which his lord ship moved in bis place in Parliament, and in the labours of which he took so active a part. The hall presented a very gay and interesting appearance, being hung with the banners of the various clans, and filled with volunteer and other uniforms of Highland costumes, the grey and blue of the London Scottish Rifle Volunteers of course preponde rating. A number of ladies witnessed the proceedings from the gallery. The chair was occupied by the Marquis of Abercorn, S.G., one of the captains of the corps --the croupiers being Major Sir David Baird, Bart., Captain Conway, Private Sir Stuart Donaldson, and Private J. W. Malcolm, M.P. Among those present were Lord Elcho, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Fife, Lord Colville, the Lord Advocate, Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. Charles Lindsay, the Hon. Arthur Kin naird, M.P., Sir Roderick Murchison, the Hon. F. Byng, the Hon. Major Anson, Captain Sir Malcolm Macgregor, Colonel M•Murdo, C. 8., Captain Page, Colonel Cole, C. 8., Colonel M'Leod, Captain Mildmay, General Veitch, Dr. Halley, and others. Several others of the nobility and commanding officers were invited, but were unable to attend. About 350 sat down to dbaaner, After the cloth was drawn, The CHAIRMAN, who on rising was received with loud and prolonged cheering, proposed • 0 The Health of her Majesty the Queen." The toast was drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN proposed the " Health of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales, Duke of nothesay, Lord of the Isles, the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was drank with the usual honours. The CHAIRMAN,:iII giving " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers of Great Britain and the Colonies," said it would be presumption in him, a simple volunteer, in the presence of such distinguished officers of the army and navy as were around him, to do more than to refer to their noble deeds, which had raised our nation to the first posi tion in the world. The deeds of our soldiers in the wilds of the Crimea and on the plans of India showed that the British soldier of the present day was not unworthy of that honourable and distinguished title. (Loud cheers.) He begged to couple with the toast the name of Mr. George Bain, an old Peninsular soldier; Capt. Sir. M. Macgregor, R.N. ; and Lord Colville of the volunteers. Mr. BAIN responded on behalf of the army; and Sir MALCOLM MACGREGOR for the navy. Lord COLVILLE, in responding for the volunteers, said he believed in his heart that no man had done more good to the volunteer service than Lord Elcho. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that he might long continue to reap the reward to which he was entitled—namely, the continued success of the volunteer force of the country. (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose and said it was now his pleasing duty to propose what was emphatically the toast of the evening—" The Health of their Noble Lieutenant-Colonel, Lord Elcho." (Cheers.) It had been his pride and privilege to have been acquainted with his noble friend for more years than either of them would care to number. He knew him a youth at college, where he was foremost in all those athletics sports and exercises which predicate the man of energy and of action. (Loud cheers.) He had known him for many years an active and influential member of the House of Commons. When, in late years, the suspicion of foreign insult threw all the civilian blood of England into military action, his noble friend, with his energy, his eloquence, and his sound discretion, threw himself into the van of the volunteer move ment. (Cheers.) To that energy, that eloquence, and that sound discretion was owing, in no small degree, the success of the greatest national movement of our age. (Hear.) Lord Elcho, by setting an example of obedience to authority, had shown that to be one of the greatest of military excel. lencies and the foundation of discipline, and had thereby been the means of raising it to the position it now occupied. (Hear.) Not content with that, he had also become the president and prime mover of the National Rifle Association —an association which had been the means of the diffusion throughout the country of a new means of defence. Lord Elcho, by his energy and his influence in the House of Commons had obtained from Government that effective support which alone was wanting to root the volunteer force indelibly in the soil of Great Britain. (Cheers.) If Lord Elcho had been present at the birth of the volunteer move ment—if he had nursed it in its infancy he had also pro cured for it that assistance which would give it permanency and strength. (Cheers.) He need merely say that through his instrumentality an annual additional sum of £200,000 had been granted for the volunteers, including the sum of 20s. for every effective, and 10s. for every private who had passed through his musketry practice. (Hear, hear.) There were other minor, but very important concessions, relating to the personal staff and musketry instructors, all of which tended to the success and stability of the volunteer corps. They wished on that occasion to testify their sense of the benefits which had been through the instrumentality of Lord Elcho, he might almost say by Lord Elcho, conferred upon them—they wished to take that public opportunity of expressing their respect for him personally, and their gra titude for his services. (Loud cheers.) He begged to give them " The Health of Lord Eleko." The toast was drank amid loud cheers, with " Highland honours." Lord ELclio, in rising to respond to the toast, said—My lords, gentlemen, and brother volunteers—There are cir cumstances and events in all our lives which, whether they be for joy or for sorrow, impress themselves inde libly upon our hearts and minds, and, as it were, burn themselves into our very souls, and when words are ut terly wanting to give expression to the feelings which struggle in vain for utterance. When I look around me, and when I see this great and brilliant assembly, and when I think that it is composed of so many of my distinguished fellow-countrymen and brother volun teers, words may well be wanting to me, as they now are, to express to you my thanks of gratitude for this great kindness. (Loud cheers.) I only trust you will not mea sure my thanks and gratitude by my words. Still the simplest form of words is oftentimes the best and most expressive ; and I can assure you from my heart that I thank you for your kindness to me, and that the reception you have given me to-Right shall never be forgotten by me or mine. (Loud cheers.) It is almost this day four years since I was told that a gentleman—then almost a stranger to me—Dr. Halley, wished to see me, and he came, with a drawing of a Highlander in a grey kilt, and informed me that the Highland Society wished to re. establish the Lon don Scottish Rifle Volunteer Corps. I say re-establish, because the London Scottish Corps existed in ISO 3, when something like a million volunteers stood forth, and by their gallant appearance opposite Boulogne, turned aside the threatened invasion. and made the invader think it was better to lead his legions against Austria rather than to the shores of Great Britain. (Loud cheers.) Having thrown my heart and soul into the volunteer movement, I eagerly embraced his proposal, as I was glad to see that my country men were not backward in so good a cause, but were pre pared to assist in the defence of their country. I entered into the project without over imagining that I was to be its commander, and without having an idea of the pride and pleasure of that position, and still less of this ovation—for I can give it no other term—which your warm, true, loyal Scottish hearts have given me. (Loud cheers.) Pride and pleasure I have indeed felt at this connection, when within little more than 12 months I marched past her Majesty at the head of the London Scottish Rifle Volunteer Corps — (loud cheers)—and when our inspector, Colonel M'Murdo, on that occasion as on others, stated that they distin guished themselves, and, by their soldierlike bearing and discipline, maintained the martial character of our northern race. (Loud cheers.) In mixing with the corps I have known, with many whom otherwise I should n eve r ds to the known, and who I trust will remain my firra n h? a en s been al _ end of our lives. (Cheers.) This conneucutio most without alloy.

We are told that if ' a limb of the human body is fractured and re - united, the spot so re-united be comes its strongest p ar t, and so our fracture has led to our being more strongly cemented together than at first —(loud we were —(loud cheers)—and I can safely say I have no warmer or better friends in the corps than those gentlemen who at one time felt bound to leave it, (Loud cheers.) Well, then, looking as I do to the past with pride and satisfaction, and at the united state of the corps—united as it is from na tional, personal, and regimental feelings—l shall not be far wrong, I am sure, when I predict permanence to it, cape • cially as long as we retain Capt. Page as adjutant. (Loud cheers.) There is many a volunteer corps and many a vo lunteer commander who want to have him as their adju , tent; but we will not let him go. (Cheers and laughter.) So long as we retain him as an adjutant, I may safely pre dict that the London Scottish corps will not be less efficient than other volunteer corps. (Cheers.) I also trust that this occasion, which has brought together so many Scotch men, many of whom do not belong to the corps, may result in their interesting themselves in the success of what may i really be considered a national institution. (Hear, bear.) My lords and gentlemen, the occasion which has brought you here together has been stated by my kind and noble friend, Lord Abercom, to be for the purpose of recognising my services in aiding the volunteer movement, as he has been pleased to express it. Both he and Lord Colville have spoken of me with the warmth and exaggeration of old friends. AR I can say is this that my humble object has been to do nothing more than any other volunteer has done —namely, to do my duty, as you yourselves have done by this great movement, and we have endeavoured to do it without a wish for any recognition or reward. (Loud cheers.) We have done so as a public duty and for the love of our country. Speaking in the name of myself, in your name, and iu that of every volunteer iu the kingdom, I say that previous to the existence of this great force I have writhed—l have no other word for it—under what this country suffered from those periodical panics which had almost become chronic. I felt our position was unworthy that of a great nation, and when the opportunity for forming a volunteer force was once offered to us, the unanimous feeling was to come forward to rescue our country from such a state of humiliation. (Cheers.) lam not now going to enter into the history of the volunteer movement, but I must say that we armed in V indication of the inde pendence of our country, and I hope that our intentioes have been successful, and that we have been enabled to place her in a position of greater security than she would otherwise have occupied. (Loud cheers.) The success of this great movement has been signal and complete, and we may well hold our heads erect. (Cheers.) Our difficulties have been great, and our duties onerous, but we have reaped our reward in our sense of security, and in the thanks of our fellow-countrymen, whose approving smiles and whose encouraging words have done so much to stimulate and consolidate this great movement. We reap it in the independence of our country, and in the knowledge that our own liberties are secured, and that at the same time England being secure at home t b s d y . o h n e e r passive strength and invulnerability to attack, has much to secure and consolidate the liberties of other lands. (Loud cheers.) This is our reward for what we have done, and in securing those objects our success has been signal. (Loud cheers.) Why ask to find out to whom that success is due—to this man or to that? In such a great national movement individual exertions are like specks floating on the ocean. Let us endeavour to keep anclretain the success we have met with, instead of endeavouring to find out who has contributed towards it. We need now have no fear but that this great army will be maintained as a permanent in stitution. My noble friend Lord Abercorn mentioned my connection with the National Rifle Association and the Parliamentary grant. Now, heaven forbid that this move ment should descend into a number of rifle clubs ; but my firm opinion is, that nothing will add to the permanence of the institution more than the National' Rifle Association. Once you get a volunteer to the butts you will never lose him—he will remain permanently a volunteer. (Cheers.) With regard to the Volunteer Commission and the Govern ment grant, as time went on it became apparent that what ever the zeal and patriotism of the volunteers might be, the movement, like other military matters, could not go en with out the sinews of war, and that there were many volunteers who required assistance. (Cheers.) This led to the Vo lunteer Commission, and I hope and believe that it will add to the permanence of the volunteer force. (Cheers.) Its success is not due to the exertions of individuals, it is due to the patriotism and spirit of the people, it is due to the countenance and support of our Sovereign—(loud cheers)—and it is due to the foresight and con sideration of the Horse Guards —Lord Grey, whom I am glad to see in a position that he is so well calculated to fill, and which I am confident he will fill to the advantage of the country—having done all in his power to aid it. (Loud cheers.) That success is also greatly the result of the exertions of Colonel M'Murdo and of Colonel Erskine, and not to one or two individuals connected with the force. But, although Government has done this for us, you must recollect that the time of trial for the volunteer force is now approaching, when you must recollect that noblesse oblige, which means that nobility has its duties as well as its obligations. lam sure you will cling manfully to w h a t you have undertaken, and will, in case of need, show the same spirit as that exhibited by the Confederate States of America. (Loud cheers.) I am sure that, in case of emergency, we shall find our Stonewall Jackson—(loud cheers)—our Lees, and our Beauregards spring up on this side of the Atlantic. (Loud cheers.) But it is not in the hour of need when the trial of our volunteers will take place, for then there will be hundreds of thousands stand forward for every hundred now enrolled. but it is in the hour of peace, when there is no excitement, no danger, and when we have ceased to be petted and feted, and when we shall be looked upon merely as an honourable and steady institution, that we shall be tested. Remember that every volunteer who in times of peace steadily goes through his nine effective drills, and obtains the Government grant. is doing a great deal more service than the man who, in times of danger, rushes spasmodically to arms, So long as health and strength are granted to me, I will stand by you, and I am ready to give my hand to our noble chairman as a pledge that I will stand by you so long as I have health and strength to do so—(loud cheers)—but, at the same time, in taking his hand, I shall consider that you,through him, pledge yourselves to stand by meso long as you have health and strength. (Loud cheers.) We have now en tered into a solemn engagement with one another, and I further ask you, by this day year, to have each of you added by your influence at least one member to the force. (Cheers,) I hope you don't wish to be outdone by the Lon don Irish. (No, no, and laughter.) Well, Lord Donegall has just sent to the London Rifle Association for a 10th rifle, as they have succeeded in adding a 10th company to the corps. (Loud cheers.) In conclusion I have only to express from my heart the wish that God Almighty may bless you in all your goings. (Loud cheers.) Several other toasts followed, and the proceedings were protracted till an advanced hour. These were enlivened by some Scotch songs, volunteered by Mr. Kennedy and ac companied by Mr. Land. The band of the corps was sta tioned in the gallery, and Mr. Ross, the Queen's piper, and the pipers of the regiment made their appearance at inter vals during the evening. , 3%,-,.-71.).::Azie::-.4---v POST-OFFICE PROGRESS. Whatever department might stand still it could never be the Post-office. In the London district alone more than 11,000 new houses were built in 1862, 2,300 within the town limits and 9,400 in the suburbs. But the Post-office makes constant pro gress. The post-offices and road letterboxes have now increased to 14,776, and day mails and free de liveries are continually extended,and new rural posts established. The mails are now conveyed over 160,000 miles a day in the United Kingdom. The number of letters delivered in the year 1862 was 605,471,000, being twelve millions more than in 1861, but that is an unusually small increase. In 1862 the Post office carried as many letters as would make, in England, 24 to each person ; in Ireland, 9; in Scot land, 19. At Liverpool and Birmingham the pro portion was as high as 30 letters to each person, at Bristol 35, at Manchester 38, at Dublin 39, at Edin burgh 41, and in London 49. The increase in printed circulars has been very great; in relation to the Lambeth election there were nearly 40,000 posted in a single day. Nearly half a million letters passed through the temporary post-office in the Interna tional Exhibition. More than 450,000 valentines passed through the London office on the last anni versary.lB62 was nearly 73,000,000 —about half a million The numb er o f n ewspapers delivered in more than in the previous year.

It has caused a great diminution in application for missing letters containing coin— a diminution by more than one-half; the regulations came into operation in London last August; and 58,000 letters were com pulsorily registered in the remainder of the year. It is most satisfactory to learn that, while in the last quarter of 1861 four London let ter-carriers were convicted of stealing cash letters, in the corresponding quarter of 1862 not one was even charged with such an offe • nce During the last half of 1862, out of about 900,000 registered letters, the whole number lost was only 12, con taining together £9 Os.
