The financial and industrial relations of this country, not only with the a. ontinent c f Europe, but with all parts of the world, have increased so largely daring the last few years, that correspondin g financial facilities have become indispen sable. There is scarcely any undertaking of foreign origin that does not seek the English market. Governments re uiring loans, co n t rac t ors of public works ffuaranteed by the State, concessionaires desiring to give effct to the privileges they have obtained — all apply, directly or e indirectly, to Eng land for financial support ; and in all these cases the opera tions of the Society can be advantageously exercised.

SECRETARY, pro tern. Lambert Smith, Esq. TEMPORARY OFFICES. 14, Gresham House, Old Broad-street, E.C. ten object of this Company is to provide the only require tie ecessary to render Kingstown one of the most attrac tive and complete watering places in the United Kingdom, by the erection of a first-class Hotel, in a style of comfort and e legance sufficient to a itisfy the most fastidious taste, and r esembling in all its arrangements thote princely establish ments which have lately sprung up in all favourite localities on the sea coast of England and the continent. Kingstown has been long recognised as the most important mall packet station in Ireland—is justly celebrated for the salubrity of its climate and beauty of its environs—is crowded throughout the year by a constant influx of tourists and visitors, and yet, strange to s A y i s mos t peculiar.), deficient in the character and extent of it's Hotel accommcdation. The Directors feeling thst the most important step to wards a realisation of their views was to secure a site o favourable elevation, facing the sea, and commanding beau tiful and extensive prospects, have purchased the Royal Hotel, together with the adjacent gardens and grounds, bq , nging to Mr. Gresham,—a property in every way adapted to the purpose, and capable of still further im provement. Lords Longford and De Vesci, the lords of the soil, influ enced by a desire to encourage an undertaking so calculated to enhance the value of house property in Kingstown and its vicinity, hay ' accorded an extension of the lease of this pro perty for a long term of years, on unusually advantageous terms. It is evident that this r nrchase will immediately ensure to the Company a lucrative and well-developed connexion, Which can at once be taken advantage of; and it is hoped by energy and attention rendered highly profitable. It is proposed that, without any loss of time, a new esta blishment shall be erected on the most eligibleportion of the pleasure grounds, capable of containing concert and aasem ly rooms, sp ac i ous an d well-ventilated drawing, coffee, and dining - rooms, ladies' coffee-room, billiard and smoking saloons, together with numerdus suites of private and sleep ing rgesed apartments, arra nge d i n accordance with a scale of afford cha pro p o rtipned to the ext en t o f accommodation . It is also proposed to form Promenade grounds, orna mented with terraced gardens, fountains, and statuary, and to place the Hoel t ani direct communication with Carlisle pier, by means of colonnade, fitted up as Conservatory ; thus securing to visitors a pleasing ansfeasy a approach to tbe yachts and steamers in the Harbour, and, atthe same time, pl.( serving that quiet and _privacy so essential to comfort, and which only appertains to Hotels situated, as this will be, in the midst of its own grounds. It is also to be observed that, independent of the pleasure grounds reserved for the exclusive use of the visitors to the Hotel, there is included in the puase some valuable plots of bull ding around, presenting fin frontages, and from whirh a considerable rental will be realised, and also a tract of land sloping towards the sea, and commanding varied and extensive prospects which afford an admirable site for Horti cultural Exhibitions, or Musical Promenades, and which may be made a source of annual income of no small import ance to the Company. Amongst other matters, it is in contemplation to erect an Arcade capably of containing 30 suites of apartments, with shops attached, which, when completed, will prove highly attractive, and, at a moderate calculation, will secure to the Proprietary a yearly income averaging ZLI:r O. The varied attractions which will be thus presented to the public must doubtless be peculiarly a pp rec i ated by those Ire whom pleasure or busin ess arooations call so frequently to and, and crease their num may bertend in no s li g h t degree to materially in- It is unnecessary for the Directors to call attention to the uninterrupted success which has marked the progress of similar undertakings—the dividends averaginv, in menl - stances, from 10 to ao per cent. The special dyn an peculiar advantages offered in the present instance, tozether universally admitted nece ss it y which exists for such l a th the ject, justify the Directors in re gar di ng its success, in pro a com mercial point of view, as beyond d ou b t. The Ar ides of Association are open to inspection at the Offices of the Solicitor to the Company. After the comple tion of all preliminary arrangements, het affairs ot the Com pany will be conducted under local management, either in Dublin or at Kingstown. i. In addition to 2,260 Shares which have already been taken by the Vendors, to part payment of the i.urchase money, a large number have be e n subscribed for by the Directors an d their friends. Application for the remainder to be made in t ' e subjoined form,or an which will be received by the Brokers of y the C ompany in London, Liverpool, and Manchester, c member of the Stock Exchange in Dublin ; or by the Lecre tary at the London Mil receipt the same are accompa dn.isep%l?tyctillieo Bankers' for scribed t S. per share.

The object of this enterp•ise is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise Duties, under circumstances peculiarly favourable, the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with the cost of similar products in the or en market. 2. It is well known that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to 425 per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly increa,ing demand for the supply of Books, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans, with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. 3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, it is proposed to purchase at their actual cost, the under takings of the Ettrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company, 4. file works of the Ulmate of Ammonia Company were established in 1860, on tee Thames, at Grays, in Essex, for the purpose of working Ward's Patents for obtaining paper making materials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable manure powder from the res due. The patent process success_ proved, mechanically and commercially, comp l etely ful, and working by day only, the machinery produces 25 tons of paper-making material per we k, and about the same quantity of powder, containing about 15 per cent. of soluble nitrogen. estimated as ammonia, closely approaching in rich ness to the best qualities of Peruvian guano. 5. In 1882, a large mill for maqufacturing into paper the fibrous products of the works at Grays, in mixture with other materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons, with every recogni se d p rac ti ca l i mprovement in construction and machinery. Driven by steam power, abundantly supplied with the purest water from an Artesian well, with coal and materials by water carriage, and cheap transport for the paper by rail to London, the power and economy of produo tion have proved highly advantageous as compared with stream ocated, as the great majority still are, on countr s, on which they are more or less dependent for mo tive;el order, tons a 6 en dp ro theoul worksentieown power and for water for working purp s d P a o d a u e p b e t r i ) 1 3 1 1 g o i r l o d l were ande6r. epTbrhiunei built nsgo present paas pt papers as r n or rneo per week t t wo o ef f e tk t h h em e at an outlay very largely below the cost of the original under taking. 7.

To carry o u t th e intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the Julie t extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly d sirable for the safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. 9. After providing for every contingency, the net profits calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons of manure powder, per week, will be from to £25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., with pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other cli,turbing causes. A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obta ned from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share.

The African Company's Royal Mail steamship Macgregor Laird, Commander Croft, arrived at Li verpool at an early hour yesterday morning, with the mails from the West Coast of Africa, Teneriffe, and Modina. By this arrival we have dates from Benin to March 25th; Fernando Po, 30th; Came roons, April 1; Old Calabar, 2; Bonny, 7 ; Brass, 4; Lagos, 10; Accra, 12; Cape Coast Castle, 15; Cape Palmas, 17; Sierra Leone, 21; Bathurst, 25; Teneriffe, May 1 ; Medina, 3. Besides a full cargo the Macgregor Laird brings 50 passengers. The tidings which reached us last month from the West Coast of the intentions of the King of Ashantee to make a descent upon the countries under British protection are verified by the advices of the present mail. The King of Ashantee had invaded the protected countries on the Gold Coast, in conse quence of the refusal of the English Government to deliver up to the officers of the King of Ashantee the fugitive native chief who is accused of stealing gold rock, and who, in order to escape losing his head, fled into British territory. Owing to the inn fficiency and timidity of the scouts of the Fantees but little intelligence was obtained, and that con sisted of reports of a ♦aried character; but it would appear that three large bodies of Ashantees are in the protectorate, threatening the countries of Was sau, Assim, and Akim. The last accounts stated that several skirmishes had taken place, and some Ashantee heads had been brought to Cape Coast and Accra. On the morning of the 15th April a large body of regular trcops, supported by volunteers, were to hsve marched in aid of the main bcdy of Fantees, encamped some distance in the interior. Commo dore Wilmot and the officers and men of the Rattle snake had entrenched ani garrisoned Cape Coast and the environs, and assistance bud been demanded by Governor Pine from Gambia and Sierra Leone, in consequence of which nearly 200 men had been des pated at once from these stations to the Gold Coast. It is calculated that we shall have about 750 re gular troops and upwards of 350 volunteers, all armen with Enfield rifles, in andition to the large native force. It is thought that if we advance too far inland we shall bo in great danger, both from the nature of the country, which is composed of almost impe netrable bush, and therefore very favourable to the Ashantees and theis mode of fighting, and from the likelihood of being cut off by one or other of the invading corps, and deprived of the means of com• municating with headquarters or our base of sup plies. Her Majesty's shisps Rattlesnake, Ranger, Medina, and Just were lying off Cape Coast Castle ; while the Wrangler was at Sierra Leone shipping troops for Cape Coast. MURDER AT BEDFORD. On Sunday night, as a gentleman named Budd, with his wife, were returning from Mr. Pulley's, St. Paul's-square, Bedford, about eleven o'clock, they were met by a number of men, some of the Beds militia, and several civilians, near to Mr. Higgins' brewery, Castle-lane, where Mr. Budd was furiously attacked, some striking him with their fists, and the soldiers with their belts, unti he was frightfully wounded and covered with blood, the brutal party then running away. Mr. Budd managed to reach the house of the deputy chief constable for the county. Mr. Graham not being within, his son took the particulars narrated by Mr. Budd, accompanying the suffering gentle man to Captain Boultbee's, the chief constable of Beds, but that officer was ill in bed. Mr. Budd was then assisted to his home on the Kimbolton road, young Graham hastening for Mr. Coachman, surgeon, who was soon in attendance, remaining until about one o'clock in the morning. Soon after Mr. Couchman was gone Mr. Budd said to his wife, " I feel much worse than I at first supposed," and, before Mr. Couchman could again arrive, he expired at about a quarter past two that morning, Deputy Chief Constable Graham having then arrived. The police then went in active search of the as sailants of Mr. Budd, taking into custody early on Monday morning two civilians, named Robert Gor don, blacksmith, and Wm. Craddock, a carpenter, both of Bedford, and two privates of the Beds mili tia, named Thomas Spring and Thomas Burridge, both of Ridgmount, Beds. A third militiaman, whose belt has been found covered with blood, ab sconded, and has not at present been taken into custody. Mrs. Budd is in such an alarming state of health that great doubts are entertained of her re covery. Colonel Gilpin, M.P., the commander of the Beds Regiment of Militia, and other officers, are in the borough making every effort to trace the guilty party, expressing great regret that such a crime had been committed, and that any of his men had been parties to it. In the course of Mon day seven men, two of them civilians, and the other trm fi lh,h v iel e eittch m arsm e ee m een b ao e st rs of the Bedf or d m ili t i a, were brought before th e mag i strates, when, after several witnesses were examined, t h e b ench discharged two of the ia ( h ß e r m ili tiamen u aga i n st the ae a m n oe d tni Sevvrpserriwen was s ) 4 custody . ormeuimtuaoenfddetdol but which was r e f used to the two civilians, Gordon and Craddock, against whom the case assumes a more serious aspect.

CRACOW, April 7. The local news this evening is very bad. All the detachments that have left Cracow during the pre sent week and since Friday last have been driven back without having produced any impression upon the Russians. The official journals of 'War saw will tell the truth for once if it states that the insurgents have ths.B time been dispersed along the whole line of the Cracow district. If they had been sent out for the very purpose of being beaten affairs could not have been better managed to that end. Mieroslawski, aiming still at an im possible dictatorship, and refusing to accept any lower position at the hands of the National Go vernment, sent off on his own responsibility the greater portion of his corps (about 250 men) to Igolomia, a village about 20 miles to the east of Cracow, on the Vistula. This was the beginning of the last Cracow campaign, and it led to a rout, which would have been more disastrous had it been less sudden and less complete. Nevertheless, a por tion of the Mieroslawski corps contrived to bury their arms in the Kingdom before recrossing the Galician frontier. Mieroslawski himself had not yet taken the field, but was waiting to superintend the departure of his last companies. If the Russians had also waited all might have gone well; but knowing, as hundreds of persons in Cracow knew that an expedition had started for Igolomia they prepared to meet it, and, concentrating an over powering force near the threatened point, found no difficulty whatever in repelling the Poles, almost before they had thought of attacking. At the frontier post of Michalowice, about six miles from Cracow, there were only 20 soldiers on the day of the fight, whereas the number generally there amounts to from 200 to 300. T roops had also been severalcollect proprietorsparts,e dfromotherlivingbetween an Igolomia and a d, curiou s ly enoug h , military station some 25 miles distant in the interior took refuge in Cracow the very day that the expe dition was to start. They were under the impres sion that the Russians would be beaten, and would, according to their custom, burn, plunder and massacre in the course of their retreat. But, on the contrary, the Russians were victorious, and committed no out rages whatever. I believe all the atrocities of which they have been guilty were perpetrated by them after unsuccessful attacks or disappointments of some kind. In these instances they have vented their rage, sometimes on prisoners, sometimes on the wounded lying on the battlefield, sometimes even on the dead. The second of the recent defeats was that of Miniewski and Nullo, with the Zoaaves and the Franco-Italian company, near Olkusz. Here again the Russians were quite prepar e d f or their visitors, and assembled in due time and in great force to receive them. It would have been strange had it been otherwise, for the departure of the Zouaves from Cracow was quite a public affair, and their friends went to see them off, and parted from them in the plain of Wola just outside the city, as though they had been starting on some expedition recog nised and encouraged by the State. The Poles say there were Russian spies in the corps, which is pos sible enough, but without that some account of the march of the Zouaves would have been sure to reach the enemy. Besides the spies who enlist in insur gent regiments, there are resident spies in Cracow, and there are the Gallician peasants, who are always willing to give information to the Russians about the insurgents, and never to the insurgents about the Russians. The " Zouaves de la Mort" did not quite justify their melodramatic title at their fight, near Olkusz. They neither gave death, nor did they in large numbers receive it. I believe they Lad scaro , 7!:7 any chnice but to cross the frontlet— that is to say, their position would have been hope less if they had remained in the Kingdom opposed to a force which they could not possibly overcome. At the same time, it is admitted by every one that the frontier is a great temptation to inexperienced troops, who, if they find themselves engaged in an altogether unequal struggle, have a very easy way of getting out of it. The most lamentable thing in the battle of Olkusz was the loss of Colonel Nullo, the celebrated Garibaldian chief. His horse had been shot and had fallen with him, and he was being raised by his men when he was himself struck in the breast with a rifle bullet. He died calling upon the Italians to rush forwards, and they obeyed the order, and avenged him in the most heroic man ner—sacrificing themselves, but also killing an im mense number of Russians. The grief caused among the Italians by the death of Nullo is said to have been most heartrending, and it attracted universal attention in the midst of the battle. They called out his name, sobbed, shrieked, and by a general from Zabierzow, impulse rushed upon the enemy, when they for the a re cro th ss most part met the same fate as their leader: The third repulse of the :nsurgents took place at ari th fi e v c e ou m n i and country) s y) from Cracow a S b ie o e u i t n th et ree me ( the first station on the Cracow-Vienna Railway. Sice is a frontier village, and hundreds of insurgents had scarcely entered it when they were driven out again. About 120 laid down their arms on re crossing the frontier and surrendered to the Aus trians, who were waiting for them, and who h a d watched the comb a t f rom the beginning. Against these disadvantages T may m ent i on a great victory gained b y J sz i oran ski in the province of Lublin. Three hundred Russians were left on the field, and buried by the Polish general. The insurgents lost 50 killed, and about the same nuna bee wounded. April 8. Fugitive insurgents continue to arrive, and before to-morrow morning it may be expected that all who had left Cracow for the kingdom during the last f ew days, and w h o h ave escape d the Russian bullets, will be on this side of the frontier again. The num. ber of killed it is impossible to ascertain. The most desperate fighting seems to have been done by the Franco Italian company, under the immediate orders of Nullo ; and one of the foreign officers, who has just found his way back to Cracow, declares out of a band of 30, 26 were left on the field of battle. Other companies stood the first di sc h arges of mus ketry well enough, but broke and fled directly ar o f variou s etrest ed ; and, as usual, kinds with their etiolmlepryanwieass, composed posed of stud ents, sons of proprie ought against them. A t Sice three servants, kept up a very unequ a l contest for nearly three and hou r s g entlemen before they ey r the loss in men of education and position has been out of all proportion with that sustained by the great body of the insurgents. The workmen have often fought quite as well as the members of the nobility, and the peasants have on many occasions done won ders with their sithes. As for the servants, they have not only followed their masters faithfully, but as a rule have preceded them —i n so far that they took up arms before them, and really proved that they had more of the Don Q u i xote than of the Sancho Panza element in their composition. But a certain number of servants without places and workmen without work enlist in every detachment that goes forth from Cracow, and these persons have no scruple in availing thenaseives of the security of the Austrian frontier as soon as they find themselves at all hard pressed by the Russians. Of course, too, the men who Lold out the longest are those who would feel most keenly the misf or t une of being beaten ; and it may be fairly said that the loss of 50 men on the side of the Poles is a greater loss to Poland than that of many hundreds on the Russian side is to Russia. It isreported vperre l pared for th e proprie good authority, that tors of the Kingdom of Pol an d to sign, in which they are to state whether th e y are for or against printed been the Russian Government. If they declare against will be published, and theth e R insurrectioneeeieh Governmenttheir name s will maintain that the most influential class in the country is on its side. If, on the other hand, they Pronounce against the Russian Government they will by so doing incur the penalty of confiscation. This scheme may seem very ingenious to the Russians, but it will not answer ; for if they can discover any proprietors cowardly enough to think of applauding or ap proving their rule, they will scarcely find one daring enough to m' ke up his mind to oppose open'y the strong sentiment of the whole country. The pro prietors of Poland told the Grand Duke, in the cele brated Zsmoyski address, how to avert the insur • rection, and if they were anxious then to prevent its breaking out, that in itself is a good reason why they should now be heartily opposed to the Govern.- went which provoked it. M. Mukhanoff, late Director of the Police Warsaw, has taken up his residence in Cracow. Banquet _to Her Majesty's Judges at the Mansion House. The annual banquet to her Majesty's judges was given last night at the Mansion House by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.

Some 270 ladies and gentlemen sat down to tables furnished with the choicest viands and the rarest wines by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion. Fall jus tice having been done to these good things, and the loving cap having been duly circulated, The LORD MAYOR proposed, in a few brief and well-chosen sentences, the usual loyal toasts, which were loyally responded to. The toasts of the Army, the Navy, and the Volu nteers was coupled with the name of General Knollys, Admiral Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., and Capt. Bulwer, of the Inns of Courts Rifle Volunteers, who severally returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR then proposed the toast of the evening, " Her Majesty's Judges," duly dwelling on the unsullied purity of the bench, and its intimate connection with the preservation of our liberties, and coupling the toast w ith the name of the Lord Chief Baron. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in returning thanks, said he believed that the occasion on which they were assembled was one which was not thoroughly understood. It was right, therefore, to mention that it belonged to the entire administration of justice throughout the whole of England. In every assize town, the duty of the judges,after opening the com mission and going to church to pray for a blessing upon their labours, was the next day to give a dinner to the magistrates. This occurred in every assize town throughout the kingdom. The differs ace in London was, that the judges went to St. Paul's, and the gave them a dinner, which was a very agreeable magistrates alteration.(Laughter.) Th e y h a d very chief formerly dined with the Lord Mayor twice in the year. In the reign of George I. the judges used to go to St. Paul's at Michaelmas and Hilary terms; now only at Easter and Trinity. He believed that so many City officers died of catarrh and consumption from going to St. Paul's in the gloomy months of November and January, and so many judges fol lowed their example, that the visitation of St. Paul's was confined to the spring and summer months. That was a great improvement. He had no objec tion to any improvement which might take place in the administration of the affairs of the city of London, but he thought that was not an improper occasion to congratulate the city of London upon the permanence of their institutions. (Cheers and laughter.) Ho would as soon destroy the house in which Shakapeare was born and lived which a grateful nation had preserved as a memorial of his genius, as he would abate altogether what some people called the nuisance of the City of Lon don. (Cheers.) The City of London performed many public duties which could not be supplied in any other way. It was connected with the history of the country as the cradle of liberty, and he felt the largest interest in it because the profession to which he belonged had run the same race, had performed the same duties, and bad been allied with it in the extention of liberty and the enlargement of the privileges which belonged to the constitution. To gether they had secured a constitution which was the envy of the world, and the cause of the greatest happiness to the greatest number. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gave the toast of " The House of Commons," which was responded to by the Hon. James Whiteside, Q.C., M.P. The remaining toasts were : " The Bar of Eng land," for which the Queen's Advocate-General re turned thanks; " The Stipendiary Magistrates of the Metropolis," which found an able exponent in Mr. Henry ; " The City Magistrates," replied to by Sir John Musgrove; "The Sheriffs," to which Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence responded ; and " The Lady Mayoress." The enthusiasm with which the last toast was received was only a just acknow ledgment for the graceful, genial way in which her ladyship has uniformly performed the hospitable duties of her position. The musical arrangements were under the direc tion of Mr. J. L. Hatton, who was assisted by Mrs. e Harriette Lee and Mr. Young. The ban d i o f t he od. Coldstream Guards, under the direction ooforp eraic . Q t fret, performed an excellent sele ction f A music during the dinner. Mr. Barker officiated as toastmaster. ASTEROID. —The career of Asteroid has been a curious one. Bred by the late Duke of Bedford, he wis taken as a sort of heriot by Admiral Roue, to whom the duke left the best horse in his stable. Little time was lost in turning the bequest into money, and Sir J. Hawley bought him, improvidently as many then thought, for £3,000. His success last year was varied. Ho was beaten by Elcho and Caractacus at Epsom ; by Tim Whiffler and Car bi ne er at Ascot; he took his revenge on the latter by winning the Ascot Cup two days after, but was again beaten at Doncaster by Tim Whiffler. He then ran, under a crushing weight, third for the Cesar Caller Ou, ewitch, and h as , o f 172 horses entered (the next bel ow him being receiv ing 121 b), now won the Chester Cup, enjoying the doubtful bur glorious privilege of giving weight to the whole.— Mirror. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Com• wander-in-Chief inspected and reviewed four regi ments of the metropolitan militia on the large open space always chosen for such purposes, bet ween the Serpentine and Marble-arch. The ground was kept by a detachment of the Household troops, though except towards the close of the proceedings it re quired very little keeping at all, beyond what was ff,cted by the vtry unfavourable state of the wea ther, which of course tended to prevent the collection of a crowd. This advantage, ho we ver, was more than counterbalanced by the state of the review ground itself, which was wet and slippery enough to make it trying work for any troops to manoeuvre on it with rapidity and Effect. The Royal Kist Mid dlesex Regiment was the first to come upon the ground, at half-past 10, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Alcock and Majors Reed and Northey. It was followed by the Royal Westminster under Col. Viscount Chelsea, Lieut.-Cil. Glossop, and Major Penton. TheCityofLondon Regiment, under Col. Alderman Wilson, Lieut.-Col. M'Call, and Major Allen, and the King's Own Tower Hamlets Militia, under Lieut.-Col. Grant and Majors Parry and Edwards. The strength of the whole force when he four regiments had united was not very consi derable, but each corps had evidently been well set up in barrack-yard drill,and moved with a certainty and solidity that did their officers credit. At the same time their appearance did not remind one much of those splendid bodies of militia which garrisoned Aldershot at the close of the Crimean war, and all of which, when they had attained to the very per fection of military drill, were disbanded. The Duke of Cambridge arrived on the ground soon after 11, and was received with the u3u4l military honours. His Royal Highness then put the four regiments separately and together through all the most com plicated manoeuvres which regimental drill admits of. All the movements, in spite of the state of the ground, were performed with quickness and preci sion, and the marching of each company was solid and regular. As it would be difficult, it is fortu nately not necessary to say which corps appeared to be the best set up, and it is more justice to them all to state tht the whole review was gone through in admirable style. After exercising the corps thus for an hour or more the inspection terminated by his Royal Highness calling the officers round him and congratulating them on the very efficient man ner in which their various corps had acquitted themselves. We believe it is intended that these inspections of Militia Regiments an for the future to be held more frequently than they have been of late, with a view to keeping the different corps as much as possible in an efficient condition. The Queen's Own Light Infantry (2d Tower Hamlets), 700 strong, were inspected on Saturday, in Victoria Park, by Col. Hope Grant, C.B. The following appointments were made on Mon day at the Admiralty :—A. E. Mackay, Burg., to the Revenge; T. W. Bower, engineer, to the Ajax; J. Annable and I. Roberts (B), assist.-engiueers, to the Indus, as supernumeraries ; and H. J. Hall, act- ing second-class assist.-engineer, to the Indus. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. M. Casimir Perior has issued his address to the electors of the Department of the Isere, and solicits their suffrages as a candidate for the Legislative Corps. He is the son of the eminent statesman of the same name who for 12 years of the Restoration stood foremost among the most elcquent and the most courageous of the Liberal Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, and who after the July Re ' volution filled the post of Prime Minister on the overthrow of the Laffitte Ministry. Amid great difficulties he maintained order at home without in ' fringing on the liberties of the people; and Antwerp and Ancona testify to the boldness of his foreign policy. That a son should be proud of such a father, and in his address to a population among whom was the cradle of his family should dwell on the private and public virtues which characterised that statesman, is not to be wondered at. He re minds the constituency of Isere that, after years spent in constitutional opposition to the Govern ment of the elder branch, his father did not falsify any one of his acts nor any one of his speeches when raised to power; that he maintained order at home "without any sacrifice of liberty, and, dis daining exceptional measures, sought in the law only his support." M. Casimir Perier says a few words about his own career, which has not been without service to the country. For 16 years he was employed in the diplomatic service, in which he attained the rank of Minister-Plenipotentiary, but quitted the profession ia 1846 on being elected Deputy for the first Arron dissement of Paris. In 1849 he was chosen by the Department of the Aube to represent it in the Le gislative Assembly, where he says, " I gave honest support to the Government of the President of the Republic, and proved that I knew how to submit without mental reservation to the will of the na tion." The decree of November, 1860, which al lowed the representatives of the nation to commu nicate directly with the electors, and which was the first concession that gave hopes of a further de velopment of popular liberties, has determined him to seek for a seat in the new Chamber. He gives a few particulars as to his pursuits for the last ten years, and observes— These explanations would perhaps have a character too personal were they not necessary, when we see the efforts made to influence the votes of the electors, and to cast suspicion on men who have given the best proofs of their patriotism. But, in spite of the impediments thrown in the way of publicity, the light is appearing, and all that a mis directed zeal can do will never persuade you that a man is the enemy of the Government and of your best interests because he resists those tendencies which in ten years have added more than 3,000,000,0001.—near 100,000,000 f. in terest—to our public debt. That debt was, in 1830, 1 61,000,000 E, and in 1848 176,000,000 f. Eighteen years of representative government had increased it only by 12,000,000 f. In 1852 it was 230,000,0001., and at this day it exceeds 327,000,000 f. In ten years it has increased by 97,000,000 f., deducting the reserves and the sinking fund dotation, which would raise it to 503,000,0001. These ten years have seen the Budget fixed at 1,500,000,000 f. for the service of 1852 gradually raised to 2,200,000,000 f., showing an annual augmentation of 700,000,000 f. in the expenditure, and consequently in the charges on the country. No thin g can add force to the eloquence of these figures.

EMIGRATION FROM CARLISLE.—On Monday morbing four families, comprising 33 individuals, left Carlisle on their way to Canada, via Glasgow. A large crowd congregated at the station to wish them God speed, and as the train moved off they called for a round of cheers for the Dean of Carlisle and the Carlisle Emigration Com mittee, by whom they are being sent out, They were to sail yesterday morning, • • AERIAL TRAVEL \ A writer in aIZ contemporary ' mo t aeo4 / 01r from o i r r t t i h s h e p A u e r s e e l e y i a s t c i e i e a u t fi de l e i g ht l " e'''iso ."45.# often record e d th e ascents of M r - fre ty, --1,41714, which the honours; Perhaps, amid the press of weightier matters, you description fer th e e ni e o y f ai t e h n e t flit scenery e a s e r b y a lo and o n t t h r a e v a e may find space to g i ve your readers the following. p ll p in e g ara off ne e e rs s p fr r e e m s e 8 n o t eodt to 7,000 h o e fe e l an dc t .T s h e e p landscape directors altitudes tereef t the evaryi Crystalng Palace liberally permitted us to make our ascent r :%r f r ii i o le. m .n t so h x e hw ir aedl g l :sw o e u chu n or d see e d , e a xf n op d re r we it eiinec ( oe fu dcoccaresrii occasion) cervices commenced our including o our aerial excursion lest Friday morning at 11 10. The sky was almost free from clouds, and afforded an excellent opportunity of observing the reaoni ficent views obtained from different elevations. The balloon, as I have stated, left the earth at 11 10 a.m., and in two minutes had attained an ele vat:on of nearly 2,300 feet. Proceeding in a westerly directioe, it kept gradually risirg, and at 11 26 a.m, was about 5,000 feet from the earth. From this elevation we perceived, beyond a range of cumulus clouds in the N.E., a wide extent of country in the direction of Chelmsford, while to ' wards the east the windings of the Thames, as far as the Nore, and the sea beyond, were visible. Southwards the view was bounded by the range of the South Downs, and the hills near Farnham and Bagshot closed in the prospect towards the west. Beyond these, and in all other directions, the dis tant view was hazy and indistinct; but objects within six or eight miles could be seen with re markable clearness. At 11 31 we crossed the Wandle and skirted the southern extremity of Wimbledon-common and Richmond-park, imme diately .8 whic.: the highest elevation (6,380 feet above sea-level) was attained. The tempe rature, which on the ground was 54 deg., here was 47 deg., and the aneroid barometer indi cated a pressure of 23-75 inches. The heat of the sun was moat intense, probably owing to the small amount of aqueous vapour present in the atmosphere, a fact confirmatory of Dr. Tyn dall's remarks on the action of vapour in counter acting the effect of solar radiation. At 11 48 a.m. we crossed the Thames between Kingston and Ted dington, and soon afterwards the dark fr planta tions on St. George's-hill appeared directly south of us. The windings of the Thames and Wey near Weybridge were remarkable features in the view from this point. We now began to descend rapidly, and again crossing the Thames at Laleham, Mr. Coxwell permitted the balloon to fall within 800 feet of the ground. Ballast was now thrown out and we rose gradually to the height of about 5 000 feet, passing over Virginia water and Bagshot heath in the direction of the line of railway from Staines to Reading. The barren, black heaths ex tending southwards for miles presented a dismal appearance, and Contrasted strikingly with the sandy ridges at Aldershott, which shone brightly in the sun like plains of salt. The barren dreari ness of the numerous sandy roads over this district seemed well described in the name of the "Devil's Highway," the designation by whi c h the old Roman road across Easthampstead plain is known. This dreary view was, however, soon succeeded by one over the cultivated country beyond Windsor Forest, and passing over the long street of Brack nell, and the town of Wokingham, we perceived the green meadows watered by "The Loddon slow, with verdant alders crown'd," whose sinuous course, shining in the sunshine like a thread of silver, could be traced for many miles. Crossing this, and leaving the town of Reading on the north, we passed over Shinfield and Barghfield common. From this point, at an altitude of about 3,500 feet, we obtained a most delightful view of the weald-like country lying between the chalk hills and the valley of the Kennet. The Roman re mains at Silchester were distinctly visible, and the fir plantations of Aldermaston Heath mingled with the light green foliage of the " Okes grate," which abound in this district, reliever!, in their turn, by the dark commons on the borders of Hampshire, formed a prospect of no ordinary beauty. Beyond these the steep chalk hills near Kingsclere and the wooded park of Highclere were Been as gently undulating slopes, their elevation appearing scarcely greater than that of the valley beneath. Passing almost immediately above the spired roof and tower of Aldermaston-court, and its beautifully wooded park, we perceived in the distance the old town of Newbury among the green meadows on the banks of the Kennet, and the Marlborough downs beyond. We now skirted the Southern extremity of Green ham-heath, and looking down upon Newbury, which by this time was close beneath us, Mr. Cox well selected a common about a miles distant as a convenient spot for the descent. We reached the earth at 3 22 p.m., at Newbury Wesh, the precise spot where the first battle of Newbury was fought, and within a few feet of the tumuli which mark the burial-places of the slain. In this aerial voyage the heat of the sun was so great that our scorched visages were a subject of remark by the bystanders who had gathered to witness the descent. The distance we had travelled was about 60 miles, our course being almost due west. A small pilot balloon sent from the Crystal Palace about half an hour before we started, for the purpose of ascertaining the exact direction of the wind, fell at Laycock, near Chippenham, at 4 15 p.m., thus having gone in the same direction -es the Mammoth, and at about an equal rate of speed. It would be unfair to Mr. Coxwell's aeronautic abilities not to mention that they never shone to greater advantage than on this occasion—a fact of which our numerous former ascents with him en abled us to judge. At the outset of the voyage the high north tower of the Crystal Palace was cleared almost at a single bound. The place of our descent was well chosen, and the descent itself effected with admirable promptitude and skill. on the Tersey presiding. officer, reporte d .
