The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the close o the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000. The high couroarative position held by the Royal in the Government Returns of Duty is agiin fully maintained. The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably the amount realised in the preceding year, and in tact sur passes that of any year, with but two exceptions, sine- the commencement of thi Office, the balance t , the credit on account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,102 10s. 551., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa. rately, £11,097 lOs. 10d. and Actury.

But having taken upon themsel t v h e e s L o ndon, and not they saw the state of work ing of the line, immediately i t m he pf y oe t snhws fences be e s r l e e' the fences they were bound to take notice of them and to repair them. And the best evidence that they did so is this—that they have gone to consi derable expense in putting up a good new fence, so as to prevent the possibility of an accident of this kind ever occurring again from such a cause.' Now, gentlemen, a railway company, in taking over a railway from another company and in undertaking the responsibility of working it, is bound to see through its own officers that it is in a safe condition in all respects, according to the mode in which it is worked, and—irrespective of an y Government in spection which may have taken place—to main tain it and improve it from time to time, and you have heard from Mr. Sinclair, in his evidence, that he did go on the line, on the part of the Great Eastern Company, as was his duty, and that his inspection was made previous to mine. " A railway is a complicated concern, requiring constant attention and supervision from month to month, from day to day, and from hour to hour. Those only who have charge of it can only be re sponsible for the safety of the public using it. The doctrine which the learned gentleman has laid down, besides being entirely erroneous, has a most dangerous tendency, because it would absolve rail way companies from their legitimate responsibi lities. Parliament, taking a contrary view, has always wisely abstained from permitting Govern ment interference in the management of railways, and principally for this very reason, that responsi bility might not be shifted from the shoulders of those who alone are in a position to undertake it." Mr. Edwards having addressed the jury on the part of the railway company, the coroner summed provisional president in the departments of Santa Ana A nd Sonsonate, and whore he has organised a Government, LADY EMILY PONSONBY'S NEW NOVEL.

" San Salvador itself is a strong position, and can easily be defended. The streets around the plaza are barricaded, the people are rapi dl y leaving, and General Barrios has some 2,500 men there, des may be (or may not be) reliable. The approaches to San Salvador are easily defensible (the Barranca or ravine of Guaramul and the declivities of Abele. and Milingo), but General Barrios has no force in either. He seems to have determined to confine himself to the plaza of the capital. Meantime he is without resources, except the monthly assessment on those who remain, and the sales he can make of some confiscated goods. It is probably the inten tion of General Carrera to surround the capital, not to attack it, to cause the whole country to pro nounce, and shut General Barrios up in San Salva dor alone, occupying the port of Libertad also pos sibly, or at any rate the road to it ; if so, and no sortie or attack on Carrera's forces is made by General Barrios, it is hard to understand how he can maintain himself another month. " There are many who will regret deeply the overthrow of President Barrios. Individually he has many warm friends among the people of Central America, and the wholesome reforms he has ini tiated in the admiuistration of affairs in Salvador (not the least important of which was to check the influence of the priests by making them amenable and subordinate to the civil power) will not soon be forgotten. The rock upon which Barrios split was his Minister Irungary ; a man without another friend in Central America ; a sly, sneaking, mischief maker ; an unprincipled adventurer from Guate mala, whence he had been banished; a man with a character so bad that even his family, his wife and children living still in Guatemala, will have, and have had, no intercourse with him. What could be expected from a Minister with such a character but ruin and disgrace. It is stated on very good autho rity that Carrera had said, if he caught Barrios and Irungary, he would send the former to Guatemala and give him the freedom of the city, but the latter he would hang on the highest tree he could find around San Salvador. " There is no news of consequence from the other States. Nicaragua had despatched a force to invade Honduras, otherwise all is quiet. I also under stand that General Martinez, the worthy President of Nicaragua, in view of the success of Carrera in Salvador and Cerna in Honduras, is about to recall his troops from the frontier and disband them, that their labour may be made available in plant ing cotton, the season for which is just approach ing."

We are also of opinion that the accident was owing to the insufficiency of the fences and the neglect of the same by the Great Eastern Railway Company ; that the driver and guard of the train to which the accident occurred acted to the best of their ability and in accordance with the instruc tions issued to the company's servants. The Jury strongly recommend that the carriages used by the company should be more frequently subjected to close examination.

THE NAVY. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain his Serene Highness Prince Leiningen, arrived and came into Portsmouth harbour at'4 p.m. yesterday from Antwerp, whither she had conveyed her Ma• jesty and the Royal Family. The annual inspection by the Lords of the Ad miralty was commenced at Devonport on Wednes • day by Rear-Admiral Charles Eden, C.B. He, in company with the Controller of the Navy, `Rear- Admiral Thomas Spencer Robinson, went on board the training-ship Impregnable, 78, Capt. Francis M. Tremlett, and her tender, the sloop Squirrel, 8, Lieut. Arthur H. Wright, both in Hamoaze, when the boys were exercised at the sails and guns. Sub sequently Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick William Grey, K.C.8., Admiral Robinson, and the Director of Engineering Works, Colonel Godfrey Thomas Greene, visited the new long dock in the Devonport yard, the works of which were com pleted by the contractors about two months since. The dock proper is enclosed by a pair of iron gates, but, between them and Hamoaze there is a apace of 50ft., the outer part being protected from the sea by an iron caisson. The sea can be excluded from the the dock by the caisson only, in which case the length of the dock is increased 50ft. There is at present inside the caisson a quantity of mud and rubbish ; when this is removed the dock will be ready for use. The new long dock is constructed on the sites of the old docks Nos. 2 and 3, which were one inside the other. It is 437 ft. long over all and 415 ft bin. below, and can take in the Warrior class of ships: On the arrival of the Agin court, which is larger than the V? arrior, she will probably be placed in this dock. The sheer hulk moored outside will, it is said, be fitted with a steam capstan, for the purpose of hauling ships into and out of the new long dock. From the dockyar Sir Frederick Grey proceeded to Keyham steam yard, where, between 1 and 3 o'clock in the after noon, he mustered the men belonging to the Steam Reserve, who are commanded by Capt. William Edmonstone, C.B. His lordship next went on board the training-ship Implacable, 24, Comman der S. B. Dolling, and the receiving-ship Canopus, 8, Capt. Charles H. May, and inspected the crews of both. When landing at the dockyard Sir Fre derick examined the new lifeboat constructed by Mr. Turner, master shipwright of Woolwich yard, which had been sent to Devonport to be tested. The paddle-wheel steam-yacht Enchantress, 1, Master-Commander J. E. Petley, from the Channel Islands and Dartmouth, arrived at Plymouth yes terday morning. Instead of landing at Devonport dockyard or Keyham steamyard his Grace the Duke of Somerset proceeded at once to New Pas sage. Thence he and his colleagues, the other Lords of the Admiralty, obtained an easy access to the Devonport park, 'where they went in order, if possible, to settle the question of a site for naval barracks. The screw steam corvette Brisk, 16, Capt. John W. Luce, from the West Coast of Africa, last from Portsmouth, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. The officers composing the Ordnance Select Com mittee of Woolwich Arsenal have been engaged at the proof butt during the week in order to test the Broadwell breach-loading principle, which they have had under consideration for some months past. As previously stated, this system consists of a pecu liarly shaped self-acting gas ring or valve, which during the former trials was placed in the wedge or breech block of the gun, the position and shape of which Mr. Broadweil has since changed. Tee chief object of this week's trials, it is stated, was to test the advantages of the alteration. The gas,ring is now fitted behind the bore, and acts against a bearing in the face of the breech block. The intention of the inventor in making this alteration appears to be to improve the facility of its application to guns not constructed expressly for its use. The issue of the trials is pronounced exceedingly satisfac tory, and, according to the opinion freely given at their termination, the merits of the system were fully established, in so far, at least, as it is applica ble to guns of a calibre equal to an 18-pounder, with which it had been tested. The method is now to be tested in a similar manner with the 110-pounder or larger guns. An important feature in the inven tion is, as in the case of a common steam valve, that the greater the pressure the tighter the breech be comes closed against the escape of gas. This justi iies the opinion Ole SUbt.C.pt n' • *". " ii.-- Z lE*3 A to largt place the system a p r ied will be equally successful. Yesterday the steam dredging machine em in clearing and deepening the harbour at Chitin ~ was removed to the entrance of the harbour, at'nik lingbam Reach,where it will be occupied some time in deepening the river at the berth which is in tended to be occupied by the iron frigate Achilles as soon as she has been undocked. His Norwegian Majesty's sailing corvette Ornen, 16, Capt. H. Wedel Jarlsberg, from Quebec, which arrived on Sunday last ut Plymouth, left the Sound 1 on Wednesday, and was towed back again Fester ' day, in consequence of the appearance on board of one positive and one suspected case of smallpox.

THE LONDON COAL TRADE. - The quantity of coal received at the port of Lon don during the month of July last from the various railways having access to the metropolis has ex ceeded the quantity for the corresponding month of 1862 by no less than 16,818 tons 18cwt. The supply for the month just ended reaches 126,273 tons against 109,455 tons 2cwt. for July, 1862. The London and North Western has conveyed 59,747 to ns s ew t.; Great Northern, 33,383 tons Bcwt. ; Midland, 11,665 tons 12cwt. ; Great Western, 10,68 S tons ; Great Eastern, 8,876 tons 10ewt. ; South. Western, 1,552 tons Bcwt. ; Chatham and Dover, 309 tons 17c wt. ; and Tilbury and Southend 71. tons. The tonnage for the whole year ex hibits a great increase. For the seven months of the present year the entries show 927,545 tons 7 cwt. against 775,850 tons llcvy t. for the same period of 1862, or an increase of 151,694 tons 13ewt. The Grand Junction Canal brings 835 tons for July against 534 tons for July, 1862, but this year's traffic has declined 839 tons. The sea-borne supply has declined this month, as it has done throughout the year. Last month 259,817 tons came to hand, and, as compared with that of the same period last year, there is a decrease of 9,591 tons. From Newcastle, 87,644 tons have arrrived in 227 ships; Sunderland, 66,132 tons in 157 ships ; Hartlepool and West Hartlepool, 52,715 tons, 193 ships; Seaham, 22,619 tons, 91 ships ; Middlesborough, 6,536 tons ; Blyth, 285 tons, 1 ship ; Scotch, 2,460 tons, 13 ships ; Welsh, 13,446 tons, 29 ships ; Yorkshire, 3,806 tons, 38 ships ; 320 tons, 1 ship ; 2,493 tons of small coal, and 1,360 tons of cinders. From the Ist January to the 31st July of the present year 1,837,644 tons were imported in 5,429 ships; and in the corre sponding period of 1862 1,922,581 tons in 5,911 ships, being a decrease of 483 ships and 94,937 tons. This decline is more than counterbalanced by the extra tonnage brought by the railways, and from all sources this year we have had 2,751,022 tons 7 cwt., as compared with 2,715,153 tons llewt. for the first seven months of 1862.

KING'S LYNN, Thursday Afternoon The proceedings before Mr. Beloe, the borough coroner, was resumed this morning at the Guildhall. Mr. Edwards represented the railway company, and Mr. Coulton, s olicitor of Lynn, appeared for the family of the deceased, Mr. John Dennis. After some evidence had been adduced similar to that given on the former inquest, Captain Tyler read the following statements by the permission of the coroner, as the company felt the decision of the inquest as too strong : " I will now, gentlemen, with the coroner's per mission, say a few words in my owa defence, in consequence of the censure which I have so unex pectedly, and as I think very unjustly, received in a recent verdict. " It was quite impossible for me to distinguish, in passing over the line in September last, between those ditches which retained and those which would lose their water during the present summer. The farmers who live on the land from year to year have good opportunities of observing the rise and fall of the water in the district, but no person visiting the country for the first time, and for a limited period, can pretend to form an accurate judgment in this respect. It any of them had taken the trouble to write ever so short a note to the Board of Trade before the line was inspected, and expressed, however feebly, the apprehension that they now, after the lamentable occurrence, proclaim so loudly, my attention would in that case have been specially directed to the subject. I should have placed myself in communication with them when I made my inspection, and we should have had a dif ferent result. I need hardly tell you, for instance, if I could have foreseen that the ditch opposite Mr. Bloomfield's field would become dry in the present year, and be for this reason a cause of danger to the public, I should have required the railway com pany to place a higher fence on the inside of it. " Mr. Valentine, the engineer who constructed the line, who has had considerable experience in similar marsh districts, was himself deceived with regard to the water. The low fence was, of course, only intended as an additional protection to wet ditches. He paid great attention to the construc tion of those fences, and if he could have formed a more accurate , judgment he would, of course, have e xtended the high fence for a greater distance along both sides of the line. " I have myself no control over the construction of railways, and am only called upon to inspect them after they are supposed to be complete and ready for traffic; and I would put the question to you in this way. Supposing that I was called upon near the end of next month—as September is coming round again—to inspect a similar line through a similar country, and were to find, as in this case, wet ditches with a low fence ; and dry ditches with a high one, should I say to the engineer, ' I mis trust your wet ditches , and there f ore you hall now add a high fence along the whole of the line, and I will recommend the Board of Trade to postpone the opening of the line from month to month until it is completed. If I were to adopt this eourse, gentlemen, shareholders and directors, engineers and managers, would all cry out, and would justly complain of being put to unnecessary expense in construction and delay in opening ; de putations would be Sent up to the Board of Trade, and an impatient public would join in denouncing me as an unreasonable inspector, and one to whom such duties ought not to be entrusted. "The engineer of the line would naturally cry out, 'Let us op en t h e line, and we will add to the fences, from tim e t o t i me , as experience may show it to be necessary ;' and I should be obliged to recom mend the Board o f T ra d e t o a ll ow the opening of the railway upon th at exp l ana ti o n, leaving it to the rail way company to maintain, from time to time, a sufficient fence at the side of the railway, and to clear them out and to repair them, and add to them as may be required, taking due care of the safety o f the public while they did so. "I can only, by recommending the Board of Trade to po s tpone the opening of the line from mon th to month, cause such deficiencies to be recti fied as I am able to observe, and I feel, I assure you, to trust to the care and watchfulness of the officers a heavy responsibility in doing so ; and servants of the railway company in guarding ainst contingencies which con but lam obliged constantly arise—many a gt g han the condi tionsof a railway. bring the ques prominence of them of far greater importanceowwo.ervkei however, The! on o p froeffseentnhctees into greater than anything that has previous l y occurred in railway histor y , and will, no doubt, induce greater care on all h an d s with regard to it.

Hostilities which have been going on for some time between the States of Guatemala and Nicaragua, as allies, on the one side, and Salvador and Honduras on the other, are approaching a conclusion in the success of the former States. Gen. Carrera, President of Guate mala, chief in command of its invading Salvador, had at last accounts complete possession of Santa Ana and Sonsonate, the chief towns in the two departments of Salvador bordering upon Guatemala. The success of Carrera was chiefly owing to the dis• affection and treachery of Gen. Gonzalez, who pro nounced against President Barrios. The particulars of the affair, as near as we can get at them, are as follows : " On the 28th of Jane the people in San Salve dor, the capital, were very much surprised, at three in the afternoon, at hearing General Barrios had returned from the army at Santa Ana, which twenty leagues (sixty miles) he had ridden since three in the morning of the same day. It seems be had learned of a certain arrangement en tered into by some of the principal citizens of the capital to pronounce there, at the same time with a similar movement in other towns; while, as events proved, the army itself in Santa Ana was to join the movement. One of these principal citizens was Don Jose Antonio Gonzalez (brother of the general of that name), who, hearing on the afternoon of the 28th of June of the President being so unexpectedly at his country seat about a mile from San Salvador, actually rode out to welcome him, escorted him to his house, and, leaving him there with many com pliments, suddenly at midnight decamped with several others engaged in the conspiracy. "The next day Gen. Barrios (who knew, or said he knew, all the conspirators) was furious that the leaders had so tricked him. He at once put down their names for very pretty little sums in the way of a forced loan, and (Gonzalez being down for 10,000 dols) proceeded to seize their goods, &c. He also placed an officer in the doorway of Gonzalez' house, where only hie family remained, and held his wife and daughters prisoners, demanding 10,000 dols. for their release. Gen. Barrios, however, in the midst of his rage, calculating that the clearing out of the leaders was worth a large sum of money to him, saying they would have to pay him from 5,000 dols. to 10,000 dais. each, and said he wished a few more would go. Gen. Barrios also wrote to Gen. Gonzalez, with the army in Santa Ana, stat ing the measures ho was about to take against his brother (J. Antonio), and telling him be could re sign if he chose so to do. Gen. Gonzalez, however, had probably notice of this, and, on the 30th June, during the temrorary absence of Gen. Cabanas, caused the army in Santa Ana to pronounce against Gen. Barrios, and in favour of himself. General Cabanas, Bracamonte, and others, who refused to join, were allowed to return to San Salvador. " Gen. Gonzalez at once addressed a letter to Car rera, who was in Chalchuapa, offering propositions of peace. They, however, could not agree, and on the 3d July Carrera, after being at first repulsed, occu pied Santa Ana, drove out and scattered in every direction Gonzalez' army. General Gonzalez was himself wounded in the arm, and hid himself in the mountains. General Osorio (Salvadorean), who commanded that portion of the artnywhich had been encamped on a hill near Santa Ana, refused to join Gonzalez, and with some other officers came into San Salvador with some 600 men in all on the 4th July. Meantime an aide of General Gonzalez who had taken part in the pronunciamento, Castellanos by name, and another officer (Zepuda) also impli cated, came into San Salvador, were taken, con . demned, and shot at 5 p.m.on Sunday, sth July, i n the Plaza de Santo Domingo, " The conspiracy or movement against General Barrios had extended to various parts of the State —in San Vicento (east of the capital) Cojutepeque (N E.), as well as in Santa Ana and Sonsonate (W.) In Cojutepeque, which has in its neighbour hood some 8,000 or 10,000 Indians, they have re volted against the Government, driven out the whites and ladinos, have murdered and cut into pieces Dr. Be,zsieres, a Frenchman settled there ; and their cry is Viva Carrera, venga el Obispo !' Bracamonte was sent against them with 500 troops defeated and scattered them, in Cojutepeque, to which of course they returned and took possession as soon as Bracamonte and his forces passed on to San Vicente. There also he had a skirmish, shot some of the pronunciados, and brought back with him into San Salvador, on the 11th July, some 25, tied and driven ahead. "General -Cerna, with his Gautemalan column, having defeated and routed the army of Honduras on the llanos or plains of Santa Rosa, in Honduras, and installed Don Jose Maria Medina provisional president, returned from Honduras to Santa Ana, joined Carrera, and by him he was sent towards Chaletenago (due north of San Salvador), where he entered on the 11th July, and whence he came 4, m1-01, a.,, twn afterwards to Curbitoto, 10 ‘.

The Great Western, of course, carried the greatest number of passengers, but the more circuitous routes of the rival lines were not disdained, and the trains from Waterloo and Lon don-bridge were heavy. The entry for the Reading Stakes, it is true, dwindled down to four starters, and the absence of Mr. Ten Broeck's Derby colt Paris robbed them of a great deal of their inte rest; Mr. Merry's good-looking filly Crisis winning with perfect ease. A pretty race for the King's Meadow Stakes heralded the event of the day—the Berkshire Stakes, for which only five came to the post. Change and Blackdown were nearly equal favourites, the former, from his running at Wolver hampton, having the call. The race was left to these two, Change succeeding in defeating the Goodwood winner by a neck. Mr. Merry was able to place the Ladies' Plate to his account with Sister to Melsonby, and a very slow-run race for the Nursery eventuated in the easy victory of Mr. Trimmer's Verbena by two lengths, The Stewards' Plate brought 11 to the post, and after some delay in starting Kingswood landed his owner's colours victorious by a head, after a good race with Bali- verve. The sport, though not first-rate, was satisfactory, and the praiseworthy punctuality of the arrangements deserves notice at our hands. The Easthampstead Park Stakes of 5 sous each, 2 ft, with 30 added ; for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age ; winners extra, with maiden allowances. One mile and a half. 11 subs.

Fontenoy took the lead, followed by Golden Dust and Lioness, until the turn into the straight, when Mr. Bray ley's colt drew up, passed Fontenoy at the Stand, and won cleverly by a neck. A bad third. The Reading Stakes of 15 sovs, 5 ft, with 50 added, for 2- yr-olds ; colts, Sat 101 b and fillies Bst Slb ; winners extra. Half-a-mile. 32 subs. Mr. Merry's Crisis, Bst 21b (H. Covey) 1 Mr. J.

The favourite, in company with Bradamante, Lady 'Wil liams, and Isca, made the running to the enclosure, where Mr. Greville's filly was beaten ; Crisis at the same time drew slightly in advance, and won very cleverly by three parts of a length.

Upwards of half an hour was wasted at the post before Mr. M'George could get them in anything like order. At last the signal was lowered, when Topsy, next the rails, made play, closely attended by Lufra, Margery, Churchman, and Tailor ; Rubini, with Tom Sayers, heading the rear division. As they rounded the bend into the straight, Margery and Mr. Saxon's colt were beaten. The favourite, with Lufra and Tailor lying up, came on with a decided lead to the enclosure, when Lufra got up, the pair running a punish ing race home; Topsy winning in the last stride by a head.

Gibraltar, as usual, rushed to the front, and made the running at his best pace, followed by Detective and Black down, the favourite and the Wasp colt lying off. In these positions they came past the Stand, but proceeding along the river side the leader ran on the inside of two of the post, but still went on in advance, closely attended by Blackdown, the Wasp colt, and Change, to the bottom turn, when Gibraltar again bolted and stumbled over the rails, leaving Blackdown in possession of a clear lead, with the Wasp t colt and Mr. Whittaker's colt lying close up with him. At the distance Change came out, and in a few strides obtained a slight lead, which he retained to the end, and won a fine race by a neck. There were four lengths between the second and third ; Detective was fourth. Gib raltar did not pass the post.
