This Company has been formed with the view of nssisting the development of those constantly-extending operations in ad departments of trade and commerce, which presents so extraordinary a feature in the industrial statistics of this country. The marked success which has attended the establishment of other Associations of a similar character proves beyond all question that a wide field exists for business of this descrip tion. hile this Association will assimilate in its principles with the institutions alluded to, it differs from them in several ma terial features. Without excluding Foreign Investments, it will in preference use its resources in affording increased faci lities nr the developm en t o f a ll legitimate descriptions of commercial enterprise especially in the leading Provincial Towns of the United Kingdom. In Livei pool 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 sound and bona fide securities, such as Deben tures and Dock Warrants, including approved Bills of Ex change. It will extend the benefits of its experience and influence in forwarding the successful completion of all public and private undertakings, the uti,ity and lucrative character of Which is satisfactorily assured ; and with the view that the sphere of its operations may be as enlarged as possible, it is i ntended that the Association shall be represented at all the more important towns by some of the most influential persons at those places, to be appointed from time to time. No promotion money has been or will be paid. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be Obtained at the offices of the Company, and of the brokers, and the solicitors in London, and at the several offices of the brokers and solicitors in the country.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of su ffi cient 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 these 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 pubho for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

To all these causes of de.• pression must be added that which made him so late in his arrival at the Congress of :Vannes, and so early in hisdeparture, a tormenting chronic malady. Moreover, Montalembert cannot look forward with any certainty to a political change, such as France has so often seen during the last century, and which would restor e hi m to hi s j ust stat i on i n political lif e . Although n o t old, his head is already crowned with grey (" a crown of glory," says Holy Scripture, whet:, found in the paths of justice"). He may even anticipate the restoration of Parliamentary Govern ment in France, without expecting that he will take a part in it. Ha has exactly reached the period of life at which our unhappy countryman Gibbon, haft 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 pol i t i cal changes of their country have thrown O ver many of those who were once the most prominent among the politicians of the Parliamentary period, may be imagined. It strongly reminds us of the expres sions of Cicero, when he found himself ex c l u d ed from public life by the success of Cmsar 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, bites et mechants," such is 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 but to his country. ) 77-722 . .:; \ ~ ..,5 , . , - -,,, , ~-- r., ..ii-,;.' ~,- ~Aigli:-.1 '.4.;.x9),,,,,:,: 4 A ~~z~~ _~ ~~i~ 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 objection, but this is merged in the dreadful charge of heterodoxy. He is be- Hewed 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 Wiens() only because he wants the moral courage to avow his convictions. He 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 edinit 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 heresy irresistible. Come 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 Chaplain of the Queen and of the Prince of Wales and of the Bishop of London, and that he is the Professer of Ecclesi astical History in the University of Oxford. So much the worse, they would say, for the Queen, the Prince, and the young clergy ofLondon. They pro test that they will not 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, —Canon M'Neile, dignusimus ; Canon Boyd, of Paddington ; Canon Miller, of Birmingham. 6, A n y 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. Ono clergyman has only ventured to Write to a neutral journal, in defence of the ap pointment, and ho asks some very pertinent ques tions : " Alas, sir, What is all the splutter in the news papers about? Do the Dublin clergy remember what a howl was raised at the advent of Dr. Whately 32 years ago ? Were those frantic pre ' dictions verified ? Do not many of the clergymen and laymen who opposed him most bitterly now hang their heads, and blush for shame, when they think of that intensely prejudicial opposition. ga t ! anything been said against Canon Sta n ley which was not virtually said against his predecesso rr There is one class, I admit, which has a right to of be profoundly dissatisfied with the aP " intz g in e case Canon Stanley, such as formerly it had in of Dr. Whately.

There is much truth in this. Whately, who may b e said, in the phraseology of the Church of Rome, to have dir-d "icy the odour of sasezity," was de "minced as a Socinian—as one who denied the in spiration of the Scriptures—who was an enemy of the Bible, and an underrainer of the faith. His 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.

Immediately after the arrival of the Lieut.-Gen. Commanding, the troops were put in motion, the infantry changing position to the left on. the first bri gade. The cavalry followed in the same direction, 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 after 12 o'clock. The weather was most unfavourable during the great part of the ma noeuvres. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Mr. J. 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 Admi rat Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., naval commander-in chief at Devonport. and Vice-Admiral the Hon. G. Gr e y, late Admiral Superintendent of Portsmouth yard, are mem bers, has been formed to report upon the steam reserve of the different yards. The Columbine, C, 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 Chatham 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 corn• 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 cmplement of 650 officers and men, including ma• rifles. 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 power, 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 seen any SeCV . O3 for some length of time. The lighter Aid, with stores from Chatham, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday. The screw steam frigate Liverpool, 30, Capt. Rowley Lambert, at Devonport, has discharged her powder, and will to-day be placed in dock to be repaired, refitted, and stored for foreign service. The screw steam gun;vessel Speedwell, 4, Commander Cotton, has left Plymouth for the West Coast of Africa. The screw steam corvette Scylla, 21, having been exa mined at Devonport, was removed on Saturday into the basin to complete defects incurred when in collision With the merchant ship Duke of Wellington in the Bay of Bis cay. On this occasion the corvette was on the starboard, and not on the port tack as first stated, The Wellington was on the port tack. The screw steam sloop Alert, 17, Capt. Majendie, left Plymouth on Saturday for her station iu the Pacific. His Prussian Majesty's frigate Niobe, 28, Capt. Kuber, and the Mosquito, 14, Capt, Hassentein, both from Dantsic, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday. These ships, with the Rover, which arrived there on Wednesday, are bound to the island of Madeira. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. T. F. Jackson, to be an inspecting commander of the Coastguard, vice Murray, su perseded at his own request : Sub-Lieut. John Hope, to the Esk ; Henry H. Jauncey, nominated to a naval cadetship; John Watson (A), of the Espoir, promoted to acting first class assist-engineer. THE ARMY. The official inspection of the battalion of Royal Marines (Light Infantry) at head-quarters, Chatham, by Major" Gen. H. Eyre, commanding the forces in that district, ter minated on Saturday. On the previous day the division un der the command of Col.-Commandant T. Lemon, C. 8., was taken to Chatham lines, where, under the direction of Major- Gen. Eyre, the men were put through a variety of battalion company, and light infantry movements, in order to test the efficiency of the division. During the inspection several of the captains of companies and field-officers were called to the front and directed to manoeuvre the battalion under the immediate eye of the General. In consequence of the illness of Major-Gen. Stranstam, the Inspector-General of Royal Marines, the half -yearly inspection has been postponed. A division of the 55th Regiment, comprising the follow ing officers and men, will embark this morning at 7 a.m., on board the Hougomont, hired sailing transport, from Portsmouth dockyard :—Major T. S, Browne, wife, and child; Capt, E. F. Temple and wife; Capt. P. L. Bellamy, ,gife, and child; Lieut. M. M. Gillies and wife. Ensigns F. Baird, T. Cargill, J. E. Lee, A. A. Boggs, W. L.

The troops at the ()amp will march into the surrounding country every Wednesday during the ensuing winter season, and have already begun to do so. Preparations for the court-martial on Lieut.-Col. Crawley are in progress at the Clubhouse at Aldershot. The build ing. which is situated on the right of the Farnborough-road, opposite the South Camp, will afford every convenience for the purpose. .Lieut.-Col. Crawley visited the camp en Wed nesday. The following officers of the EnniskillenDrageons have arrived in Aldershot :—Captains A. Wier and R, Renshaw; Lieutenants R. D. Davies and H. J. Wallace; Cornet J. S. Davis, Surgeon G. A.

In addition to the detachment of Enniskillen, numberingabout 60 non-commissioned officers and men, already quartered at Aldershot, a farther detach ment of 60, under the command of Captain F. G. S. Curtis, and accompanied by Cornet W. T. S. Snell, are expected to arrive at the camp to-day. The division at Aldershot' was formed up on Claycart ridge, for field manoeuvres, on Wednesday morning, in line PEDIGREE OP 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. But it is especially of interest at the pre sent moment, when there is every prospect of the early continuance of this august lineage from the Emperors Basil and Constantine, through another generation, according to the welcome announce ment given elsewhere from the columns of the Observer.

General Lee's whole army crossed the Rapidan on the Bth inst., moving towards Madison Court-house, to turn General Meade's right. The Confederates hold all gaps in the Bull Run Mountain. A sharp engagement occurred on the 10th inst. between a Federal reconnoitring party and Stuart's chvalry, near Robertson's river, resulting in a de feat of the Federals, who were pushed back to Cul pepper. General Meade has since then abandoned Cul pepper, and fallen back to the north bank of the Rappahannock. Washington despatches assert that a combined land and naval attack against Charleston will shortly take place. EVENING.

General Blunt has started in pursuit of the Con federates who captured his body guard. Guerillas are still active in Missouri and along the Pacific Railroad. Generals Price an d Ki r b y S m i t h are re p or t e d moving on Little Rock i n force. A very sharp correspondence has passed between lbe British Consul of Savannah and the Governor of Georgia respecting the enlistment of British sub jects. The Richmond Whig strongly urges the dismissal of British Consuls, because they are only accredited to President Lincoln's Government. The litchmond Dispatch is incensed at the deten. lion of the Confederate rams, and observes :—" It England would stop Irish emigration, the war would end in three months."

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 helsays, 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 less than the exultant hope of a Christian. For what he says of himself is true. No man has suffered more than ho from disappointments and re buffs. Three-and-thirty years ago M. de Montalem bert entered public life with the consciousness of talents of the first-class, and with the far greater hap piness of a cause woreey of ten-fold more than he could give, and to which he was wholly devoted. He cannot have failed to feel that ho was born a great orator. He was heir to a great name, to a seat 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 incessant work, a position. At last, after 18 y ears of 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 tion of 1848 came the pop ulace of Paris declared in support of the Church which in 1 8 30 they had regarded as their enemy and oppressor, and th e Ministers of the Republic proposed to the Chambers and carried through it a measure for the fr ee d om of education which, though not all that could be de sired, was far wore than the Catholics had ever hoped to see. As another change, the R e li g i ous Orders, wh i c h had been driven from France, were so openly restored that Father Lacordaire took his seat in the Chamber in his Dominican habit. Thus far all had been victory ; not easy, indeed, but wild , an d so much the dearer, be c ause crown ing an o b s tinate long-continued stru g gle. A n d wha t has followed? Two obj e ct s h a d hith erto been inseparable in the life of this great and good man --the maintenance of free institutions, and parliamentary government, and the uniting all French 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 religious worship and education should be as free as political action or political discussion.
