The Company is formed under a direct concession granted by the Imperial Government, for the purpose of promoting and extending commercial and financial relations between Austria and England. These relations are daily increasing in importance under the influence of the ameliorated political and fiscal system which has been definitively adopted by the Austrian Administration and Legislature. The Company will carry on the ordinary business of a Bank of Deposit, Discount, and Exchange, and all operations con nected with Bankingtransactione and Financial Agency. The head office will be inVienna, with branches at Trieste,Prae,ue, Erunn, and other towns in the Austrian empire in which it may be found profitable from time to time to form establish rants. In England, the interests of the Bank will be represented, and the business conducted by the English members of the :Board, Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. being the Financial Agents and Bankers of the Company. The Directors point with satisfaction to their having se cured the services of Mr. Francis Breuer as th it London Ma nager. Mr. Breuer's experience of German Commercial and Financial business —acquired during 25 years' service with the firm of Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen—pecu' iarly qualify him for the efficient performance of the important duties to Which he has been appointed. The Concession has been obtained by the rirectors, and 2nade over by them to the Company, without consideration or other charge than the preliminary expenses, which will be limited to the disbursements made, and are of small amount. The Company has not been brought forward until, by care ful neeotiation. it has been ascertained that its formation is desired by the Austrian Executive, and that, besides the grant of a direct concession, the Imperial Government will be pre pared to open an account current with the head office of the Bank, and to employ the branche; of the institution in a va • riety of ways, in facilitating the revenue collections and other operations of the Government, not overlooking the import ance of the measures which are being constantly directed to the complete re-establishment of the paper currency upon the soundest basis. As some evidenhc of the satisfactory result of the negotia tions which have taken place the directors are authorised to insert in this Prospectus the following extracts from a Minute delivered to the Company by his Excellency M. Von Plener, the Minister of Finance at Vienna, viz. : " Referring . to the fact that one of the principal objects of the establishment of the proposed Anglo-Austrian Bank, is to facilitate operations in Austrian Securities, and having regard also to the desire of the Imperial Government to aid as far as practicable in bringing about a closer union between the financial and commercial interests of Austria and England than at present exists, the Imperial Government intends (so far as it should appear to itself compatible with the success of their financial measures—and with any legal direction which may tie specially prescribed in reference to any parti cular operation) to give to the Bank the opportunity of under taking such financial operations - whether the issue of loans, placing of bonds or otherwise ; as the Government may de aire to effect on the London market. "The Government also intends to open an account-current with the Bank." There cannot be any question as to the profit able nature of the field for the operations of a banking establishment in Austria, conducted on sound principles. There are few recent changes of more importance and in terest than the remarkable advance which Austria has made during the last few years under the influence of its thoroughly revised policy. The harmony happily established between the Imperial 'Government and the representatives of the different orders of the State, as assembled in the Reichsrath, has removed most of the impediments which formerly prevented Austria from enjoying the benefits of its vast commercial and agricultural resources. Supported by the free debates of the Parliament, the Government has been enabled to enter with vigour upon a fiscal policy founded upon tree-trade views ; and to apply, in many directions, measures specially adapted to develope the wealth and enterprise of the country. River steam navi gation has assumed large proportions. The extent of rail ways in operation has increased from 1,7C0 English miles in 1855 to nearly 4,100 in the present year; and the railway system has besn actually completed up to a point which leaves few of the leading districts of the empire unsupplied. Still more important has been the marked increase in the ac tivity of private trade and in the maenitude of individual enterprise ; and that this altered state of things is solid and real, is sufficiently attested by the great recovery of the Aus trian finances during the last two years. Under the measures pissed in 11 62, the paper currency is in rapid process of re lorm—and since Jane of that year, the Exchange on London Sias improved from 140 to 110 in favour of Vienna The rise fin the price of Austrian Government Stock, since the same date, being equal, upon an average, to 22 per cent In the speech delivered by the Emperor, at the opening of the Reichsrath, in Juce last (1863). he was able to dwell pro minently on the improved aspect of affairs, and to state that the finances of the empire have so rapidly improved during the 1 •arliamentary recess that the Government will not now require tlie twelve millions of florins voted last year to cover deficiences then a.nticipated. Between 1551 and 1661 the export and import trade of Austria may Ve said to have doubled ; but even at its present amount of. say, 50 millions sterling, it is stilt very far below the c a p a bilities of the 4 0 millions of Austrian subjects, who inhabit provinces extending to an area of 240,000 square miles, in the most fertile and diversified parts of Southern Europe. When it is proposed, therefore, to extend to Austria the nPpliances of Banking, according to sound English rinci le les, it is important to bear in mind that the new institution 18 not carried to a field already full or offering few advan tages, but is applied pre esely un d er t hose circumstances - ,ll, which the success of Banks has been most conspicuous— 'viz., to a rich country, and an enterprising people entering with every encouragement upon the development of their skill and their resources. In the statutes, as passed by the Imperal Government, the capital Is divided into Shares of £5O or 500 florins each ; but, in consequence of representations made to the Directors, and in order to render the Shares of the Bank more readily nego tiable in the principal money-markets of the Continent, the Government has been solicited to authorise £2O as the de nomination of the Shares, and an assurance has been received that such application will be granted. To avoid delay in the establishment of the Bank, it has been decided to issue the c ipital in Scrip Certificates of £2O each, exchangeable hereafter (at a date to be announced. and When £6 has been paid thereon) into Shares to bear as above Stated. Under the revised Austrian Commercial Code, the payment of £6 p r £2O Scrip Certificate, equal to 30 per cent. of the capital, will enable the Bank to commence business at once, with the advantage or limited liability, and without further demands upon its shareholders. A ceoy of the Concession and Statutes will be deposited at the office of the Sol citors to the Company, 46, Parliament street, ‘l, eestminster. The Appioations made in London for Scrip Certificates should be addeessed to the Directors in England at the Offices of the Company e but no application will be considered, unless accompanied by the receipt of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. for the deposit of £2 per Scrip Certificate on the number ap plied for This deposit will be returned in the event of the application trot being acceded to ; and, it an allotment be made, it will be .applied towards the full deposit of £4 per Scrip Certificate. Forms of Application maybe obtained and will be received at the Offices of the Bank in Vienna ; and is London at the 0 - fame 10, Birchin-lane, Lombard street, E.C. October, 1E63.

The system of Land Credit, or " Credit Fonder," has now been established in many of the chief countries of Europe, with the uniform result of large profit to the Companies eta gaged in it, and great benefit to the holders of land. The principle of all these Associations is the same, via., the inter vention of a Company whose large subscribed Capital, and consequent credit, enable it to borrow money to the best ad vantage, as an intermediary between individual lenders who seek investments on mortgage, and borrowers who seek for loans. Thus, the French Credit Fonder has a large Share Capital, of which only half is paid up, and is authorised by its statutes to issue its own Bonds against an equal amount lent on mortgage, with a Sinking Fund for redemption, on first class landed security. The security to the Bondholder, under these circumstances, Is ample, represented as it is by the whole unpaid-up capital of the Company, and all its invest ments and assets, while the profit to the Shareholders, being the profit on the employment of a large capital distributed in dividend over a small paid-up capital, is so great, that with £lO paid up the £2O shares of the French Credit Fonder stand at a market value of upwards of £5O. The present Company is formed in the belief that, on the one hand, it will be very profitable to the Shareholders, and, on the other, most beneficial to India. It is obvious that our Indian territories present an unrivalled field for a Company , of this description. Land there is rising in value with a ra pidity quite unexampled, and the fixing of tenures. the im provement of laws, and the opening cf communications, are fast creating an ease and certainty in dealing with it equal to those enjoyed in any country of Europe At the same time capital is scarce, and the rate of interest extravagantly high, as compared with any European standard. In Bengal, where, in the first instance, the operations of the Company will be principally directed, land is held upon a Zemindary tenure, which may be described as conferring the fee-simple of the land in perpetuity, held direct from the Crown, on the condition of paying a fixed annual quit rent, which is always moderate, in comparison with the value of the estates. An accurate and simple system of registration precludes doubt and dispute concerning the title to estates, and the first mortgage on the register takes precedence of all other claims. The principle of a permanent settlement has been adopted by the Government, and will doubtless be shortly extended to the other provinces of India. The land included in the Lower Bengal system is estimated at a value of more than one hundred millions sterling, and by the establishment of railways, the operation of irrigation works, and the general extension of Indian trade and in dustry. it will be doubled and trebled within a moderate number of year. Of these estates a very large proportion are at present under advances from local money-lenders, at a rate of 12 per cent. Interest, besides incidental bonuses, and upon other conditions, that are alike unfavourable to their owners and to the community at large. With prudent management the results of an Indian Credit Fonder can hardly fail to be even more successful than in France, considering the wide margin between the rates of in terest at which money can be borrowed in England and lent in India. The field for operations in India is practically unlimited, and in no country of the world are all the elements of national prosperity, including the value of land, in a state of such rapid development. The revenue of the State has risen in ten years from £28,5C0,000 to £45,125,0^0 a-year : and the aggregate Import and Export Tr4de during the same period has more than doubled, and last y. ar reached the enormous total of £100,000,000, including bullion. During the same period .V0,C00,000 of English capital has been invested in railways in India, which are now approaching completion, and will greatly accelerate the march of prosperity. The benefit to India of obtaining capital on landed security on reasonable terms, and emancipating the native landed proprietors from an exclusive dependence on native money lenders, will be incalculable ; and this 'benefit will be speci ally felt at a time when the prosperity of the country, the completion of roads and railways, the sale of waste lands, the extension of the permanent settlement, the introduction of an improved currency, and, generally, the adoption of a wise and liberal system of Government, are giving every where a rapid impulse to improvement. OBJECTS, The Company will be prepared to grant Loans on land, ei her for fixed periods, or upon terms that will extinguish the debt during the currency of the mortgage, by the pay ment of an annual instalment on account of the principal, in addition to the annual interest, thus conferring on the bor rowers the benefit of an eventual liquidation of their debts. CAPITAL. The present capital is fixed at £2,000,000 sterling, of which £2 per share is payable upon allotment. It is not the inten tion of the Directors to call up more than a small proportion of the Share Capital in all, as the successful conduct of a busi ness of this description is chiefly through borrowed capital. BORROWING POWERS. - As a means to make the advances on the extended scale contemplated, the Company will issue Debentures for fixed periods, and bearing a fixed rate of interest, payable half yearly in this country ; and in ord,•r to give the holders of such Debentures undoubted security, they will have a lien on the entire property of the company, consisting first of the whole of the estates held on mortgage, and much exceeding in value the total of its liabilities ; anl secondly, of the assets of the Company, in which its paid-up capital is invested, to gether with its large reserve of uncalled capital. The trans actions of the Company will be conducted free frem all spe culation or purchase on their own account, and may be re garded as partaking of the nature of a Commission Agency between the European lender and the Indian borrower, opening to the latter a command of capital limited only to the value and security his estates afford. PROFITS. The profits of a well-conducted business of this description in such a field for operations as India may be tested by a comparison %%nth the results realised by the French Credit Foncier and other similar undertakings both abroad and at home. The institution named is limited t y its statutes to lend at 5 per cent. interest, and it has to pay more than 4 per cent. interest on money raised on its Debentures ; the margin of profit is, therefore, very small. Nevertheless, the French Company pays a dividend of 16 per cent. ner annum, carrying a further bum equal to 7 per cent. to reserve. In India the margin of profit between the rate at which the money is borrowed and the rate at which it is lent will certainly not be less than 3 per cent., so that each £1,010,000 borrowed in England and loaned in India will give £30,000 a year towards Dividend on the Share Capital, of which it is not probable that more than £500,000 out of the £2,000,000 will be called up. MANAGEMENT IN INDIA. Arrangements have been made with the above three lead ing firms to act as Agents in India, so as to enable the Com pany to commence business without unnecessary delay. 75,000 Shares have been subscribed for privately, and the remaining 25,000 Shares are reserved for public subscription, _ . - Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie for inspection at the Office of the Solicitors.

The carter took some hay off the waggon; a crib was put before the horses, and some hay put into it. The prisoner stood by the horses' heads. He (Marsh) could corroborate the last witness with reference to going into the pantry, and seeing the prisoner emptying one of the bags into the corn • bin. Marsh said to the prisoner, "Stride, what are you doing with these bags?" He replied, "Jim is going to leave them here till he comes back from London," Witness was not satiiMed with the explanation given by the pri soner, and he took him into custody. Chas. Mariner said in the month of November, 1861, he was in the employment of Dr. Brgg, and acted as carman to him. He had to take a team to London, and stopped occasionally at the house of the prisoner, and recollected stopping there in November, 1861, with two tons of Swedes, and some oats and chaff for his horses. Witness was asked by the prisoner what he was going to give the horses, to which he replied, " Some corn presently; I shall put some chaff plenty on the waggon." The wit nesscwiorrth t ; there ob i oratedt is the former evidence of the police-con stables, and said that the reason he ran away was because he did not like to be locked up. (Bol're the Assistant-Judge.) Joseph Eseett, 49, Edwin James Meggs, 24, and Charles Jacobs, 11, were iedicted for stealing 9Slbs. of sugar, the property of the Great Northern Railway Company. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Orrid 1;0 defended Escott, and Mr. Ribton appeared for Meggs and Jacobs. Thomas Maverty, police-constable 43 N, said on Saturday night, the 12th September, he was employed to watch the barges on the Regent's Canal, and saw a barge called the Derby near to Whiteroan's-loek, steered by Meggs and drawn by one horse. He saw Escott on the towing-path and then lost sight of him for a time. The next time he saw him he was on the barge as it came from under the Queen's-road bridge. Meggs was still steering and the two prisoners were talking together. After passing two other bridges they got to the Kingsland-road-bridge; and there he missed the pri soner Eseott, but soon after he saw him come from under the tarpaulin which covered the cargo, He got on deck by the side of Meggs, who was still steering, and he rubbed his hands as if rubbing something off. The barge went on till it got between Macclesfield-street-bridge and the tunnel, and there it stopped. He saw the tug take two barges out of the tunnel and they were then unfastened and a horse put to, and as the last of the two barges passed the barge the prisoners were in, Escott came from amongst some trees and ran down the embankment. He threw a sack which he was carrying into the last of the two barges, and then ran to the railings by the side of Macclesfield-bridge, climbed over them and got into the road. Witness stopped him and took him into custody. He asked witness what he stopped him for, and he told him that ho was a police officer, and took him into custody for stealing something from the barges. He shouted out as loud as he could that he had thrown no sack into the barge. He was taken to the station-house, and on him was found a chisel, a pair of pincers, a brad awl, and a quantity of new nails. He refused his ad dress. He said he did noi deny having thrown the sack on to the barge, but he did not know what it contained. Witness went on board the barge Derby at King's-cross, and found that it contained a cargo of sugar. There ware seve ral bags that appeared to have been opened, and sugar was scattered about. Three bags of sugar were found deficient in weight. In the bottom of the barge, near to the bags, he found a knife, but Meggs denied all knowledge of it. Police-constable Peter Devitt, 92 N, said he was with the last witness on the night in question, and saw Escott on board the barge speaking to Meggs. There was a tarpaulin covering the cargo. When they got under the Macclesfield street bridge Escott was in conversation with Meggs. There was a clump of trees under which the barges lay to wait for the tug to take them through the tunnel, and the Derby lay there. After they passed the Macclesfield-bridge he saw Escott throw a sack into the boat. He came from a clump of trees on to the footpath and threw it into the stern of the last barge. Jacobs was steering the barge, and he was the only one on deck. Witness followed the barge, and saw Jacobs take hold of the sack and pull it towards him. At the lock he met Jacobs coming away, and asked him where the sack was that the man had thrown on board. He denied having seen it, but witness went to the stern of the barge, and there found a sack containing 981 b weight of sugar. He took the sack away, and left Jacobs in custody, Escott and Jacobs having been taken to the station, they went back to the barge and took Meggs into custody. He was questioned as to who the man was who had rode in the barge from Whiteman's-lock, but he denied that any one had been with him. Many of the bags had been ripped open, and apparently sewn up again with fresh string. Josiah Thorogood, an officer in the employ of the Great Northern Railway Company, said on the evening of Satur day, the 12th of September, he was with Maverty and Devitt, watching the barge Derby in the Regent's-canal. He saw Escott got on board the barge, near the Queen's road bridge. The sugar on board the barge was piled into two tiers, with a passage between to reach the cabin. Escott continued on board the barge till it got to the tunnel mouth at Duncan-terrace, where it was stopped under some trees. Escott then got over some railings, but was detained by the officer Maverty. He took Jacobs into custody, and asked him what business he had on the barge. He said he asked the gentleman to give him a ride, and that he was the man that he saw throw the sack on the barge, He was taken to the station-house and searched, and on him was found a chopper, a pair of pincers, a bradawl, some small nails, and string. He had seen the bags which formed part of the cargo of :the Derby, and they were mended with string similar to that produced. The barge on which the sack of sugar was found was going in the direction of I' wigg-folly, Bethnal-green. Escott's house was about four minutes' walk from Twigg-folly-bridge. John Platt, foreman to Mr. William Vokins, said the prisoner Meggs was in his employ, and had charge of the barge Derby. Alfred Maynard, of Queen's-place, Hackney-road, deli very clerk at the London Docks, said on the 12th of Sept. he delivered into Vokins's barge 300 bags of sugar, ex Theresa. He had seen three of those bags in court, and they were not in the same state as when they were put on board, and they seemed slack as if some of the sugar had been taken out. He would not have passed them in the state they were in. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Orridge and Mr. Ribton then addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients. A Mr. Harrison gave the boy Jacobs a good character, and said that ho had employed him for 12 months. The Assistant -Judge summed up the evidence, and The jury found all the prisoners guilty, but recommend ing Jacobs to the mercy of the Court on account of his youth. Mr. Cooper said that the Great Northern Railway Corn pany were almost daily receiving letters from Canton and all the British colonies complaining of goods being ab stracted from boxes which had passed over their line, and rubbish substituted for them, and in this way property to the value of about £l,OOO had been stolen. The Assistant -Judge wanted to know if any goods had I been missed from this neighbourhood since the prisoners had been in custody. Mr. Cooper said none whatever. Th© Assistant -Judge inquired whether the boy had been looked after by his parents. Thorogood, the officer, said he had not, and for months ho had watched him riding on the barges. The Assistant• Judge sentenced Jacobs to be imprisoned for one month, and then to be sent to a reformatory for three years. With regard to the two other prisoners, their offence was a serious one, and the sentence upon them was that they be kept in penal servitude for three years. (Before Mr. Payne.) Frederick Stride, 52, publican, was indicted for feloniously receiving two pecks of corn and two nose-bags, the property of Dr. David Begg s wall knowing the same to have been stolen. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended the pri soner. Mr. Sleigh then addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that there was no intention whatever to commit a robbery, the bags being merely left at the house until the carman returned from London. He trusted that the jury would not convict this man, who up to this time had borne an irreproachable character, but that they would immediately restore him to his wife and children. Mr. Edwards, cab proprietor, of Lisson-grove, Edgware road, said he had known the prisoner for 5 years, and he always bore a good character for honesty. Mr. James Dando, of 38,Euston-read, said he had known the prisoner for 15 years,and during that time he had never known anything against him. A person of the name of Jeremiah Brown, of Bedford row, gave the prisoner a good character for 16 years. Ifr. Payne then summed up, and 7.he Jury returned a verdict of not guilty, considering that there were very serious doubts in the case. The prisoner then bowed to the jury and left the dock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—Often have powerful, wealthy, and famous Sovereigns set foot in this country as visi tors, but never has there been one to whom it would be more graceful to give a cordial welcome than the young King of the Greeks, who is now among us for a short time previous to beginning his arduous career of government. The very great ones of the earth, the chiefs of powerful empires, exact by their lofty rank a splendid and somewhat ostentatious hospitality. Courts array themselves magnificently to do them honour, civic corporations and companies display their wealth, regiments parade before them, Universities offer their heavy adulation, fashion gazes on them reverentially in an opera house, the multitude shout after them heartily in the streets. Such a reception the young King of the Greeks will not expect or desire. He is a youth, and these stately ceremonials require full-grown and self collected men to play the chief part in them. He is yet untried, and a welcome of this kind is more suited to those who have lived and acted, and moulded the policy of their time. We may hope that the day will come when King George, in the prime of life, and renowned throughout Europe for the ability and honesty by which he has made his little kingdom quiet, contented, and prosperous, may again visit England, and receive from an appreciating public the tribute of their esteem. At the present time he tames in almost a private character. His family has been united with the reigning family of this country, and he visits them, not as a foreign Sovereign, but as a near relative and friend. His position, too, justifies a serious and reserved demeanour. He ascends the throne of a strange country, and casts his lot among a restless people who have lately driven their former Sovereign from their capital. Arduous undertak ings should be begun quietly, and nothing is more suitable than that the Danish Prince should avoid anything like a parade of his new Royalty until he has founded it securely. But it is sympathy for a very young man placed at one of the most difficult posts of European politics that will chiefly prevail in the minds of Englishmen. It will require no formal public demonstration to make the King feel that we watch his entrance on the public stage with interest, and will do our utmost to insure his success. In many ways England is bound up with the for tunes of the Greek Monarchy. In the first days of the revolution, 40 years ago, Englishmen showed their wonted enthusiasm for liberty. They were the first to nail the dawn of Greek independence. They gave the patriots material aid; they made their cause famous throughout the world. Oratory and poetry combined to call up enthusiasm for the little bands that were struggling against the Turkish Pashas. The old policy of this country was abandoned in favour of the new nationality, and, carried away by enthusiasm for Greece, we actually joined the Emperor Nicholas in destroy• in g the naval power of the Ottoman State. Having given these proofs of Philhellenism in early days, we did not cease to act for the good of the little kingdom all through the reign of the unhappy Otho. Although more than one dispute took place —although a kind of political animosity seemed to prevail between the two countries, it has been shown by events that the Greek people understood the principles on which England acted towards them. Our statesmen and people protested against the doings of the Court of Athens. After years of bickering the Greeks showed they were of our opinion, for they gave their anti-British Sovereign his dismissal, and immediately appealed to England to find them another. The part which the Govern ment of this country has had in placing the present King on the throne must make the future position of Greece a subject of great interest for us. How ever much 'ice may disclaim any responsibility, and declare that King George is a s t ranger t o us , an d free to live with his subjects on what terms he pleases, it is certain that the world will look upon him as in some degree the representative of English ideas, if not of English influence. He is the brother in-law of the Prince of Wales; he was suggested to the Greek people by the Foreign Secretary of Eng land. He may be supposed to have been warned was so unfriendly to E ng li s h po li cy. by the downfall of the p rin ce , who, with his ener getic upon as imbibing politi ca l l essons g ß e e t i mayc consort, be llooked The envious m a y say th at t h e cess i on of from the country with which his family is so closely connected. the lonian Islands will not be forgotten by him,— splendid endowm en t w ill i n d uce b ot h and subjects to stu d y t h e w i shes of the i r s th o a v t ere that ign benefactors.

That it is the wish of the Greek people that such relations should subsist is plain from their conduct ever since they dethroned the late King. They have in the most emphatic manner expressed their desire to draw near to England politically, and to make their second trial of self-government under the influence of her institutions. It will be very difficult to avoid giving advice to such eager pupils, and when once the world has formed the notion that King George is governing on English principles, our credit will be in some measure staked on his success. POST.—Amongst the many conflicting accounts received concerning the operations of the Federal and Confederate armies in Tennessee, the only point on which no doubt can now be said to exist is the serious defeat sustained on the 20th of September by General Rosencrane. The first day's engage ment—namely, that of the 19th—is claimed by the North es a drawn battle; but when that of the succeeding one came to a close it is admitted, even by the Press of New York, that the Federal army consisted of a mass of demoralised troops retreating from the field of battle in the wildest disorder. Some divisions, honourably distinguished from the rest, took up a position along the base of a ridge of mountains, and succeeded, by re p ellin g the advance of the Confederates, in coveri n g the retreat of the remainder of the army. He avy as the loss was sustained by the Federal Gen e ra ] , it is a matter for surprise that it was not heavier. According to the Northern estimate, it is now believed that he lost upwards of ten thousand men in killed, wounded, and missing, independently of fifty pieces of artil lery and a large quantity of war material. The Confederates have seldom been enabled to turn their victories to account, and the present instance has apparently proved no exception to the general rule. The loss of the battle of Chickamanga Creek may ultimately necessitate the abandonment of the line of the Tennessee by the Federal army, and if it does so the Southern forces will have secured a sub stantial success. But a battle evidently so decisive in its results as that of the 20th September, in which the Fed era l t roops were not on l y route d , the army broken up into detached fragments, ought, one would have supposed, to have been fol lowed up with a crashing blow. The left wing, which, under the command of General Thomas, re , tire 4 to Rossyille, has, it Appears, succeeded in Mr. Poland, in his address to the jury, said the case was rather a remarkable one, bacause the offence with which the prisoner stood charged was committed in November, 1861. At that time the prisoner was keeping a public-house at Hyde, in the parish of Hendon, and while in the occupation of the house a person of the name of Chas. Mariner, a car man, in the ordinary course of his duty, visited the house for the purpose of refreshment, and on the day in question the carman stopped at the Ring's Arms, which was kept by the prisoner. A ci rcumstance occurred at the time which need hardly be mention e d t o th e j ury , an d th a t was the fact of two police-constables being concealed in an outhouse. Tho waggon driven by the carman was drawn up in front of the house, the prisoner being at the door. A stand was placed in front of the horses with hay in it, for the purpos e of feeding them. Th e carman took one of the nose -bags and placed it down on the ground, close to the cart, and then afterwards fetched the other bag. The two bags were then handed to the prisoner, who imme diately took them into his house out of sight. The two constables immediately came out. of thei r hidi n g-place, and went into the house, and the jury would hear that they found the prisoner in the act of emptying the nosebags into his own bin, The constables would state that the bags ought not to have been left at the house. The carman, on the oc casion in question, left his team and made his escape. The prisoner was taken into custody, and the magistrate dis charged him, saying that he would be li a bl e t o b e b r ought up again, there not being suffi cien t evidence to convict him, but he would be liable to bo apprehended if the carmen was caught. In March, 1862, the carman was taken into custody, and the magistratesat Hendon on hearing the evidence sen tenced him to be imprisoned for two months. The prisoner on hearing of the apprehension and conviction of the car man absconded, and was not found d until September last. In his (Mr. Poland's) opinion, the jury having hoard the evi dence would immediately bring in a verdict of guilty. Wm. Chambers, police-constable 365 S, said he was on duty on the 21st November, 1 801 , at Hyde, Hendon, about S o'clock in the morning, wa tchin g the house of the prisoner; another constable was with him concealed in an outhouse also watching. A waggon containin g turnips was driven up to the house. The carman came out into the road, and after looking up and down the road went back to the waggon and unbuckled two nosebags from the fore part and took them to the prison is house, who was standing against the door way. Prisoner was seen at the door several times before the waggon came up. Witness with the constable went into the back part of the house, and in a pantry the prisoner was dis covered emptying one of the bags (the other being on the floor) into a bin. He was told the bags were wanted, when the prisoner replied, "You can take them." Th e bags were removed and the prisoner taken into custody. The carter made his escape through the house, The prisoner, when taken into custody, said he bad merely had the bags left with him until the carman returned from London. 1 Charles Marsh, police-constable 195 S, corroborated the evidence of the last witness as to being with him in the o . ut- AW / lig fiw b" drawn l'P ; 4404 with tualVst Immediately, in post 8v0.,105. 6d., "VIY IMPRISONMENT, AND THE FIRST YEAR OF ABOLITION RULE IN WASHING- By ROSE GREENITOW.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since , he beginning of the year 1861, the Royai National Lifeboat Institution has expended £28,550 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 13,220; tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 733 Silver Medals, and £17,200 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £75,380 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-cart iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 125 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

The Government at - Washington are thankful for small mercies, and congratulate themselves and the public that the army to whichthe conquest of the Central Sulks i was entrusted s in comparative safety. The movements of the C:m. federates are conducted with so much secrecy, and efforts of the northern Generals to obtain accurate information respecting either the position or the strength of the Southern armies have uniformly proved so unavailing, that only the scantiest mate rials are afforded for criticising the operations of the Confederate Generals. At the present moment the Government of Washington are totally igno rant what forces composed the army which, under the leadership of Bragg, has inflicted on the army of the Tennessee so disastrous a defeat. There can, however, be but little doubt that Bragg re ceived considerable reinforcements subsequent to his evacuation of Chattanooga, although it was not at the expense of the army which, under Lee, holds the south bank of the Rapidan. The Government at Richmond are far too sagacious to risk the loss of a battle in Virginia, and the possible seizure of their capital, for the doubtful chance of obtaining a vic tory in Tennessee. For some time past an engage ment has been imminent in Virginia, and it rests with either of the generals commanding the rival armies to provoke a contest at a few hours' notice. A portion of the Federal cavalry is reported to have advanced in the direction of Gordonsville, and some skirmishing has taken place. If Gen. Meade should in truth contemplate a general Engagement, he will be compelled to attack the Confederate army at a considerable disadvantage. Gen. Lee commands the principal fords of the Rapidan, and, if the wea ther in America has at all resembled that which we have experienced in England during the past few weeks, that river will be swollen to such an extent as to render it a very formidable barrier against the Federal advance. The interval of inactivity per mitted to the grand army of the North, since its exploits at Gettysburg, has been protracted suffi ciently long to tire out the patience of Mr. Lincoln's Administration ; and if the reports in circulation are to be credited, the Aulic Council at Washington have directed their general to resume the offensive. It this be so, it i s man if est t h a t, i n regar d t o th e i r social policy, the fruits of experience are thrown away upon the Federal Government. The aggressive movements of the Confederates have been so con stantly unsuccessful th at t h ere i s b u t li tt l e proba bility of Gen, Lee assuming the offensive. If this year's campaign in Virginia is to conclude with another series of battles, the Confederate General will take care that they will be fought on ground of his own selection. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The screw steam corvette Pelorus, 22, Capt. Boys, made a trial trip outside Plymouth break water on Tuesday, under the inspection of Capt. Edmonstone, Mr. Dinnen, and Mr. Steil, of the steam departments,"and Mr. Edwards, master ship wright. Her mean speed in six runs at the mea sured mile was 10913 knots; mean revolutions, 55.7. Under half boiler power ehe made 9053 knots ; revolutions 45. The engines and boilers worked in a very satisfactory manner, and the speed attained was half a knot more than on the former trial. The screw steam corvette Scylla, 21, from Ports mouth, which arrived at Plymouth on Monday, left yesterdayj(Wednesday) morning for the East Indies and China. The screw steam sloop Alert, 17, Capt. H. C. Mejendie, from Scotland, which arrived on Tuesday morning at Plymouth, has discharged her powder and is gone up Hamoaze to be refitted for foreign service, probably the Pacific station. Yesterday Mr. W. Scamp, the deputy-director of Admiralty works, visited Chatham, and inspected the works in progress at the extremity of the dockyard and at St. Mary's Island for the extension and en largement of the dockyard and naval establishments by the formation of additional docks and basins. In the course of his inspection Mr. Scamp paid a lengthened visit to the island, over every portion of the works at which he was conducted by Mr. Ber nays, under whose direction the extension of the dockyard is now being made. Later in the day Mr. Scamp inspected the new barracks which have been erected by Messrs. Foord and Sons, Rochester, for the Royal Marines, to provide accommodation for 800 men beyond the present number. A portion of the new barracks is already occupied, and the re mainder will be ready for the reception of the men in the course of a few weeks. The remaining portion of the old Army and Navy Hotel, which, as well as another hotel and upwards of 20 houses, was swept away to make room for the new barracks, was sold yesterday by direction of the Admiralty, and in a few days will be taken down to make room for the offices, cells, and other buildings which aro to be erected on its site. The field officers' and sub alterns' quarters are also to be taken down and a new block of building for officers erected near the present officers' quarters, which will necessitate the taking in of a portion of the dockyard. The new barracks at Chatham, together with the cost of the site, compensation, &c., will involve an out• lay of about £BO,OOO. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness Field Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, wearing his;full official uniform, yes terday rode down to Woolwich, attended by Col. Clifton, Aide-de-Camp, and went through his last inspection of the troops for the season, the 10th of October being what is termed the close of the ac tive military year, The duke entered the garrison at 20 minutes past 10. At the Royal Artillery parade he was received by the local staff, consisting of Colonel Buchanan (acting in the absence on leave of the Major-General Commandant), Colonel Mit chell, c ommanding the division of Royal Marines; Colonel Hawkins, commanding the Royal Engi neers ; Colonel O'Brien, commanding the 4th Bat talion Military Train ; Colonel Henry, command ing the Riding -house establishment; Major-Gen. Sandham, Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy; Major Field, Acting Gover nor of the General Hospital, &c.; and the follow ing staff of the Horse Guards :—Generals Sir James Yorke Scarlett, Sir Richard Airey, and Bloomfield; Col. Lynedoch Gardiner, Col. Forster, and others. The troops were formed in a contiguous line throughout the review ground, flanked on either side by the batteries of the Royal Artillery. After performing the usual salute they were most minutely i ns pected front and rear. Retiring to the flagstaff the Commander-in-Chief inspected the marching past, which, on account of the very moist and slip pery state of the ground, was difficult to perform with the precision observed in their ordinary movements. The men, however, acquitted them selves most creditably, and after marching past in slow time the Duke ordered the commanding officer to change the front, when they marched past in brigades, formed in echelons of battalions from the rear, and came into action. They were supplied with 15 rounds of ammunition. The infantry were drawn up on the rising ground at the extremity of the common, and the batteries advanced under cover of the battalions and fired several rounds, limbered up, and retired to the rear. The whole then formed in line on the Depot and 4th Brigade Roy!' Artillery, and a general engagement co mmenced , the batteries firing independently, and the infan a r n i l d discharging a well sustained round of v olley file firing from the rear. The whole of the b atteries then made a rapid advance and charg ed at full gal lop. The inspection terminated at half-past 12 o'clock, when his Royal High n ess and Staff . p ro . ceeded to the Military Academy inspected the and corps of gentlemen cadets un der arms. His Royal Highness and Staff lunched in the artillery mess room, and at 2 left f o r London. In consequ ence o f the satisfactory wann er in which th e evolutions were performed, a nd the unqualified approval ex pressed thereof by the commander-in-chief, the commandant was pleased to lib erate a ll pri soners undergoing short Periods of confinement to barracks. Major Milward and Captain performed the duties of majors of brigade, ground was well kept by theßiding-house meat and the recruits of the depot. The t. slanted consisted of four batteriea of the H , gade, about 900 men ; 800 of the 13th one battery 4th Brigade, under orders for Nc land ; two companies of Sappers ; two battalions of Royal Marine Light Infantry, about 1,600 men ; and the 4th battalion Military Train, likewise under eiders for New Zealand. The inspection of infantry at Chatham was yes terday brought to a termination at that garrison by Majur.Gen. R. Rumley, the Inspector-General of Infantry, by the inspection of the depot companies of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 19th liegiment, 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry, 75th Regi ment, 81st Regiment, 91st Regiment, and the 102:1 Royal Madras Fusileers, the whole forming the d battalion of infantry, :tad quartered at the Hut barracks, Brampton. On the arrival of Major- Gen. Rurnipy in the barrack-square, where the troops were drawn up in waiting under the com mand of Col. the Hon. J. J, Bourke, the depots received him with the usual honours. The troops having bean form e d in open columns of companies, he proceeded through thu ranks and i nspec t e d th e kits, 8 - 9 and accoutreme n t s o f th e non commissioned arms, clothing, tohfaincers and men. This portion of the inspection continued some time, and at its termina tion the troops reformed, When, under the direction of the captains of companies, the battalion went through the manual and platoon exercises and the bayonet drill. Capt. G. W. Muriel and Capt, J. B. Barker, 75th Regimenf ; Capt. H A. Chichester, 81st Regiment; and Capt. C. E. Lennox, 102 d Fusileers, were successively called to the front by Major-Gen. Rumley to pat the troops through these man ceuvres, the whole of which were exceedingly well performed. A few battalion movements brou g h t the inspection to a close, and the troops having be en dismissed to their quarters, the Inspector-General went through the huts, and inspected the various offices, orderly rooms, and other departments of the Hut-barracks, as well as the wing of the Brompton barracks, occupied by a portion of the 3d battalion. The inspection terminated yesterday afternoon by the usual examination of the official records, books, and other documents relating to the battalion. In accordance with instructions to that effect from the Horse Guards an official report is to be made by Major-Gen. Rumley of the state of the Soldiers' In-, stitute, and the progress it has made since the pre vious inspection. Yesterday the Royal East Kent Mounted Rifles (Yeomanry Cavalry), under the command of Major E. L. Pemberton, paid a visit to Chatham dockyard, by special permission of the Admiralty, and were shown over the several establishments and depart ments, and the various iron and other ships build ing and repairing in the various docks. The Irish and Scotch in England. The census of 1861 found in England (with Wales) 601,634 persons who were born in Ireland, and 169,202 who were born in Scotland. This is an increase since the census of 1851 of 81,675 Irish, or nearly 16 per cent., and of 39,115 Scotch, or no less than 30 per cent. But the immigration of Irish and Scotch into England in the ten years must have been considerably larger than this, and, probably, somewhere about double ; for the children born in England of Irish and Scottish parents are in the census reckoned among the English people, and, therefore, do not supply the loss by death of those who were returned in 1851 as born in Ireland or Scotland. There must, then, have arrived here not only these addi tional 81,675 Irish and 39,115 Scotch immigrants, but also others to supply the vacancies created by death. The Irish have come to England in greater proportion (in relation to the population of their country) than the Scotch, but the ratios are now becoming more equal. With regard to the distri bution of these immigrants, the metropolis of course tempts more than its share. The Irish born per sons enumerated in all England in 1861 were one in every 33 of the population, the Scottish born one in 118, but in London there were 106,879 Irish born persons (a rather smaller number than in 18M), and 35,733 Scottish born ; so that the Irish were one in every 26, and the Scotch one in 78 of the people of London. In various other towns, and especially in the manufacturing districts, the Irish settle in large numbers. In Leeds one in every 20 persons enume rated at the last census was returned as having been born in Ireland; in Manchester, one in 9 ; and in Liverpool, nearly a fifth of the entire population. In Bradford the proportion is one in every 17; in Preston, one in 12 ; in Stockport, one in 9. The women are a very large proportion of the popula tion in the manufacturing districts; in the districts of Rochdale, Ashton, and Salford, and in the city of Manchester 3 in 5 of the Irish-born inhabitants are females. This is accounted for by the demand for female labour. Scotch women in England are fewer than Scotchmen; there are but about 4 women to 5 men. The inference is that Scotchmen frequently come here singly to push their fortunes, often marrying Engl i s h wives and leaving an undue proportions of women in Scotland. The Scotch settle largely in the north. Ono in every 58 of the inhabitants of Manchester at the census was returned as born in Scotland, and one in every 25 of the inhabitants of Liverpool; and of the 169,000 Scottish-born per sons in England nearly half were found in Lanca shire and the four counties nearest the border— Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Durham. Of the 600,000 Irish-born persons in. England more than half are in London and Lanca shire. Full benefit of reduced duty obtained by pur chasing Horniman's pure Tea ; very choice at 3s. 4d. and 48.

Agents in every town supply it in packets. a s STREET SWINDLERS AND THEIR DUPES.—It ap pears from the Surrey and Kent papers that a gang cf swindlers are reaping a rich harvest in those counties. The Surrey Standard says :—" The sale of sove reigns at ss. each, though faithfully recorded in our Tues day's paper as having occurred at Sevenoaks, did not prevent a precisely similar scene taking place that evening at Ashford. The crier was first sent round the town, and he announced the very, very stale dodge that ' sovereigns would be sold at ss. each in New-street for a wager.' A dense crowd Boon collected there round two stylishly-dressed individual ° with a light cart and horse, one of whom stated that , il : consequence of a dispute, the wager (which was tbeetjehe two gentlemen of Brighton) w o uld no t b e d ec id e d unti l h next evening; but to prevent di sa pp o i n t men t, li i° would give meta give away a little money hi mse lf.'

This prohi bition, however, was , Place was unheeded Probably in most cases, and only a halfpen was found in the envelopes. After about "' had been thirty or for sold, the worthy pair became aware that t he ngl getting too hot for them.

They must have, reaped a rich harvest before they started." The AYtissex Ath'ertiser has the following under the head of Hyde : "On W ednesday last the town crier announced that 150 sovereigns would be given away at half-past seven o'clock, in front of the Lion Inn. At the stated time a great num ber of the poorer class, who had just returned from hopping with a little ready money, assembled. Two fellows made thei r appearance in a cart, and commenced selling watch chains at 2s. 6d. each, returning to each of the earlier pur chasers 3s. and 3s. 6d. each, gradually reducing the gratuity to a few coppers ; the chains were of course worthless. They now introduced watches, valueless, at £1 each, returning at first, as before, more money than they received for each, but soon reduced the gratuity. Will it be believed that in these days, when every species of fraud finds its way into public print, the vagabonds pocketed nearly £2O in half an hour ? and when the poor dupes began to expose the fraud, the rascals put whip t o th e h ere „ n d galloped out of the town, leavihg the simpletons poorer, but we hope wiser men.". .r flop J v .6 1.4,414.1‘te i :)(6‘ ,XlitiArril,,,,,l, BfigplW-,7-11-4.W „4/6.," ,-...._ .- r
