This Company has been formed with the view of assisting the development of those constantly-extending operations in nil departments of trade and commerce, which presents •o extraordinary a feature in the industrial statistics of this CO untry.

Without excluding Foreign Investments, it will in preference use its resources in affordinc , increased faci lities Li. the development of all legitim a t e descriptions of commercial e ,, terprise especially in the leading' Provincial Towns of the United Kingdom. In Liverpool arrangements are pending for the formation of a very influential connexion. It is not its purpose to assume the functions which belong to ordinary banking, but it will make cash advances upon the deposit of all sounn and bona fide securities, such as Deben tures and Dock Warrants, including approved Bills of Ex e. It Will extend the benefits of its experience and 1 , fluence in forwarding the successful completion of all public and Private undertakings, the utl'ity and lucrative character of which is satisfactorily assured; and with the view that the sphere of its operations may be as enlarged as possibl e , it i s intended that the Association shall be represented at all the nun e important towns by some of the most influential persons at those places, to be appointed from time to time.

It is entirely devotedto desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of thefie the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Stansfeld, M.P., the Junior Lord of the Admi ralty, has for the present concluded his labours at Ports mouth dockyard. The last part of Mr. Stansfeld's work there was a minute inspection of the steam reserve afloat — the ships composing the reserve in their different classes, the engineers, stokers and others employed on board or at Has lar, with the particular nature of their duties past and pre sent, and other details in connection with this important baanch of the service. As a part result of Mr. Stansfeld's inquiry at Portsmouth yard, a commission, of which Adrui rat Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., naval commander-in chief at Devonport, and Vice-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, late Admiral Superintendent of Portsmouth yard, era mem bers, has been formed to report upon the steam reserve of the different yards. The Columbine, 6, screw, Commander Ward, was in spected at Spithead on Saturday by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., and afterwards sailed for the Pacific. The Emerald, 35, screw frigate, Capt. A.Cumming, sailed from Spithead on Saturday evening for Sheerness, where she is ordered to dismantle and pay out of commission. The line. of- battle ship Bombay, 2,782 tons, built in the East Indies, and the last of the 80 gun sailing ships con verted at Chathana dockyard to a screw steamer, is ordered to be placed in dock at Chatham to undergo a thorough overhaul and refit, and to be brought forward by the com mencement of next year for commission. She will probably succeed the Nile as the flagship on the North American station. Since her conversion the armament of the Bombay has been reduced from 80 to 67 guns. She is to be fitted to carry a complement of 650 officers and men, including ma • rin es. The Chesapeake, 39, 2,377 tons, 400 horse power, attached to the third division of the Chatham steam reserve, is to be placed in the first dock which becomes vacant at Chatham to have her hull examined, and to undergo a thorough overhaul. It is probable that she will be selected to suc ceed the Narcissus, 39, 400 horse po'wer, as the flag ship at the Cape of Good Hope, the Chesapeake, one of the last of the 50-gun sailing frigates converted to screw, not having aeon any secv . e.) for some length of time.

G. S. C urtis, m end accompanied by Cornet W. T. S. Snell, axe expected to arrive at the camp to-day. The division at Aldershot was formed up on Clayeart iidge, for field manoeuvres, on Wednesday morning, i n line of contiguous columns. Immediately after the: arrival of the Lieut.-Gen. Commanding, the troops were gut in motion, the infantry changing position to the left on the first bri gade. The cavalry followed in the same dirt etion, formed line of contiguous columns in rear of the infantry, again changed position to the right and repeated the movements several times. The division then advanced to Eelmoor and marched past, the artillery and cavalry in open column of batteries and squadrons, and the infantry in open column of grand divisions in quick time. The movements and the marching past were admirably performed, and the troops re turned to quarters shortly atter 12 o'clock. The weather was most unfavourable during the great part of the ma noeuvres. PEDIGREE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS The Princess of Wales. For the following wonderfully ingenious and beau tiful sketch of the pedigree of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales we are indebted to our fashionable contemporary the Morning Post. At any period the outline given below would have been deeply interesting to the loyal subjects of the Crown.

General Bragg's cavalry is still operating on Nashville, Chattanooga, and the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, to prevent reinforcements or supplies reaching Rosencranz. It is reported that no Western reinforcements have yet reached Chatta nooga. The Confederates are intrenching them selves in force on Burnside's left, and Bragg has thrown a force across the Kiawashee river, upon Burnside's right, compelling him to fall back to beyond Athens, which the Confederates occupy, thus isolating Burnside from Rosencranz.

We would take the liberty of especially request ing our readers, says a weekly contemporary (the Register•), to observe the answer given by anti cipation by the Count de Montalembert himself (in the second portion of his great speech the other day at Malines) to the objections suggested to many per sons whose opinions deserve great weight, by read ing the first half of his address without the second. It would of course be too much to expect that all will agree with all that he says, even as his meaning is explained by himself. But we do not see that particular objections which have been raised could have been more exactly answered if they had lain before the Count as he wrote. There are few things more remarkable than the confident, joyful, nay, triumphant tone of these anticipations of the condition and prospects of the Church and religion in Europe. For this cannot be mere sanguineness of natural character. It is no thing lees than the exultant hope of a Christian. For what he says of himself is true. No man has suffered more than he from disappointments and re buffs. Three-and-thirty years ago M. de Montelem bert entered public life with the consciousness of talents oft he first-class, and with the far greater hap piness of a cause worp.y of ten-fold more than he could give, and to which he was wholly devoted. He cannot have failed to feel that he was born a great orator. He was heir to a great name, to a scat in the French House of Peers (which, like the Senate in the United States, was far more impor tant than the lower house), and to a future which, judged by French standards, is very considerable. Before his years enabled him to take his seat, he made an impression upon the peers, which has not even yet been forgotten, by his speech in defence of liberty of education, when he pronounced for teach ing poor children, without authority from the or gans of the Government. Soon after he became the leader of the Catholic party in Parliament, the in timate friend and sharer of the counsels of the bis hops and priests who were its life out of doors. English travellers who were electrified by the sacred eloquence of Father Lacordaire from the pulpit of Notre Dame, thought it almost as great a thing to have seen the great layman at its foot. For years he had the joy of seeing the high success of a work in which he was by no means the least important labourer. No English Catholic could possibly be what Montalembert then was ; because there is no other Catholic party large enough to place him in such a position. At last, afte r incessant work, years ofncessant work, in opposition to the powers of the State and the leading statesmen of France, the National feel ing was so greatly leavened that when the Revolu tiee of 1848 came the populace of Paris declared in w hich in 1830 they had support of the Church and oppressor, and the regarded as their enemy proposed to the Chamber s and carried through it a measure for the freedom of education which, though not all that could be de sired, was far more than the Catholics had ever hoped to see. As another change, the R e ligi ous Orders, wh i c h had been driven from France, were so openly restor ed that Father Lacord a i re took hi s seat in the Chamber in his Dominican habit. Thus far all had been victory ; not easy, indeed, but eolid, and so much the dearer, because crown ing an obstinate long-continued struggle. And wha t has followed ? Two objects had hith erto been i ns eparable in the life of this great and goo d man —the maintenance of free institutions, and parliamentary government, and the uniting all F re nch Catholics together as loyal subjects, both to support these institutions of their country and to demand, not as a favour but as a right, that they should be enjoyed to the full Catholic Church, no less than by politicians and traders . ; that religions worship and education should be as free as political action or political discussion. For many years all Frenchmen had demanded liberty; all French Catholics had demanded its application to reli gion. As the leader in maintaining these prin ciples he had come to the prime of life, and now that he was approaching failing years he might expect that the success would make him, for many years to come, one of the most powerful and most useful public men in France. All at once came a state of things in which the nation is ruled by one man whose strength is in the support of the army. Very many Catholics, probably the great majority, have become advocates of absolute power, almost if not quite to the extent of laying down that a man who professes political libery can not be a good Catholic. The effect. of this last change Frenchmen at large has been tomaikne. them believe that the Catholic religion is d r c e lem Y ands consistent with liberty, and that the loud for liberty uttered by French Catholi:sti f ro m 183() till 1848 were insincere. So strongly was this felt a few years ego, that if s notle d ou bted that theier Revolution hid then taken place it can hardly be ~l aymen whom it is those bishops, the clergy, and '`clericals would have been the fte_hion to call e among its first victims. Of c ourse there were very felt with Montalembert but their Catholics w ho ut d because the only d a il y was unheard their voice e r published in Fra Catholic nevv a P aP nce took the opposite side. strongly Under these circumstances it was impossible that m. d o elontalembert should not feel that the work of his life was being undone and dishonoured, and ......c.....e.A....„ z---4,..f....e....e„.„.„, .', E WS PAPER i" --, i, 7 ' . 51 - 117F,At\.,,, •:,..!*4-4. % 7 ; i1 4 .

Those who for years had 10 dII 8 up to him as their political leader and r epresenta, tive, were now taught to regard him with suspicion and dislike. He ha s b een gross ly misunL i erstood, and hence, no doubt, habitually misrepresented. When France the other day was called to elect representatives, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the situation which seems as much his own of right, as that of O'Connell to be the represent ative of Catholic Ireland, and it is impossible to doubt that somewhere or other the clergy cornld have secured his return, To all these causes of dc pression must be added that which made him so la, '0 in his arrival at the Congress of Malines, and so early in his'departure, a tormenting chronic malady,. Moreover, Montalembert cannot look forward with.:. any certainty to a political change, such as Prance has so often B Ceri during the last century, and which would restore him to his just station in political life. Although not old, his head is already crowned with grey (" a crown of glory," says Holy Scripture, when found in the paths of justice"). He may even anticipate the restoration of Parliamentary Govern ment in France, without expecting that he will to ko a part in it. He has exactly reached the period of life at which our unhappy countryman Gibbon, ba - lancing the advantage and the evils of increasing, years, felt compelled against his will to record that " two circumstances, the abbreviation of time, and the failure of hope, could not but tinge with a browner shade the evening of life." How deep a shade of melancholy th e political changes of their country have thrown over m any o f those who were once the most prominent among Met politicians of the Parliamentary period, may be imagined. It strongly reminds us of the expres sions of Cicero, when he found himself excluded from public life by the success of Caesar in drawing into his own hands all the power of the State.. High minded men who, in 1848, freely risked their lives in the cause of " law and order''' may be heard to profess that if civil strife again broke out they would sit by their fireside with out looking out of the window, that the men of our day are not worthy of liberty, being " sales, Pies et mechants," suc h i s the natural effect of poli tical disappointment upon men who are conversant only with the natural order. Bearing this in mind, let us turn to the conclud ing columns of Montalembert's address, and see how the hope of a Christian not merely " reconciles man to his lot," but fills him in the darkest times with a hope which relates not to himself alone bat to his country. ARCHBISHOP WIIATELY'S SUCCESSOR. The Dublin correspondent of the Times, under date the 24th, has the following edifying observa tions as to the probable successor of the late vener able and gifted Archbishop Whately " A tremendous excitement has been produced among the Evangelical clergy here by the announce ment that Canon Stanley has been offered the mitre of the Archbishop of Dublin. The fact that he is an Englishman is one objeation, but this is merged in the dreadful charge of heterodoxy. He is be lieved to be the author of an article in the Edin burgh Review, in which, it is said, he defended the authors of Essays and Reviews. He is accused of being a rank neologist, who does not go the length of Calenso only because he wants the moral courage to avow his convictions. Ho has written a letter to the Bishop of London recommending the abolition of clerical subscriptions. When referring in his works to the errors of other writers, he studiously avoids expressing what his own opinions are on the disputed points. From this his Dublin censors infer that he is decidedly unsound in his faith. There is a long indictment against him copied in some of the Protestant journals from the Church and State Gazette : and the Daily Express is flooded with letters from the clergy containing sweeping censures, and earnestly protesting against his ap pointment. But no language of his own has been quoted against him. Hitherto the evidence is all secondhand. They admit his learning, his eloquence, the fascination of his style, the excellence of his character; but they deprecate his appointment the more vehemently on account of these dangerous snares which would render the attractions of hereby irresistible. Como what will the clergy have re solved not to allow Lord Palmerston to taint the fountain of orthodoxy which has flowed so purely from Trinity College, Dublin. In vain they are re minded that Canon Stanley is the Cnaplain of the Queen and of the Prince of Wales and of the Bishop of London, and that ho is the Professsr of Ecclesi astical History in the University of Oxford. So much the worse, they would say, for the Queen, the clergy of London. They pro test that tanthdeythwe i you lln n o g t have Canon Stanley to rule over them, even if their resistance involved the separation of the Church from the State. Any other Canon would be accepted, even an English one. They will give the Premier half a dozen to choose from,—Qanon M'Neile, dignissimus ; Canon Boyd, of Paddington ; Canon Miller, of Birmingham. " Any one, English or Irish, rather than the neolo gical Canon Stanley." There is not, perhaps, a bishop in Ireland who hoped to step up to the vacant throne ; there is not a dignitary who hoped to wear that bishop's mitre; there is not a clergyman who expected to , get that dignitary's place; there is not a friend in the respective circles of those numerous expectant parties who would not be likely to swell the cry of neology and heresy against the New Archbishop of Dublin if Canon Stanley should accept the post, and submit to have his cha racter in the ecclesiastical pillory for several years to come. One clergyman has only ventured to write to a neutral journal, in defence of the ap pointment, and he asks some very pertinent ques tions : ga firmlygaguite a stranger " Alas, sir, what is all the splutter in the news papers about?

'hare is much truth in this. Whately, who may ho said, in the phraseology of the Church of Rome, 'tO have died "in the odour of sanclity," was de nounced as a Socinian—as one who denied the in epiration of the Scriptures—who was an enemy of the Bible, and an underminor of the faith. 11is assailants lived to see and to deplore their error re garding that great and good prelate ; and so, no doubt, they would in the case of his successor.
