This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing Coma-Nut F,bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent granted to George Davies, dated the 21th April. 1861 The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weavln great duragreat d bility is given he fabric at a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of articles manufactured by this process over the present method will be well understo. d in the trade when it is stated that matting of all descrip , ions, and car riage and door mats, Sze., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surface hitherto unattained. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full. Specimens of the new and improved manufacture may be seen at the offices of the Company, where applications for prospectuses aid shares may be made. T HE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF ENGLAND (Limited).

The Directors of the Life Association of England having secured the influence of very valuable connections throughout the United Kingdom, in most of the Colonies of the British Empire, and several Continental countries, and having re ceived promises of subscriptions for a large number of shares, will enter - n/16n the b'usiness of Life Assurance - on the 25th July next, on•which day a compete prospectus , detailing the, plan a the Company's operations, and containtng tables of rates, will be issued to the public. Arrangements also have already been absolutely made by which a large business will be acquired by the Compnny at once and further negotiations to the same end are far ad vanced. The Directors will further carry out an entire reconstruc tion of the system (,f Life Assurance, on a plan devised by their Consulting Referee, by which the Association's business transactions will be rendered perfectly equitable in opera tion, and afford the best security, whilst the Association will be placed in the beat condition to fulfil its future engage ments. The plan in question will be well adapted to the wants of the people, affording all the advantages of present Life Offices, and some of those of a Bank. It will also ope rate at less risk, less expense, and lower premiums than offices ordinarily constituted. The. Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate a very handsome dividend from the first year of business opera tions. The value of Insurance Shares as an Investment, evidenced by the large premiums to which most of them have gradually rise., and the handsome and increasing dividends and bonuses which have been paid upon them, is a fact so well ascertained and acknowledged as to need no comment. Interest will be paid upon the capital at 5 per cent. per annum, until a dividend of larger amount shall have accrued. The liability of the shareholders is limitei to the amount unpaid on their shares. 'the Local Boards in the principal Cities and Towns of the United Kingdom will be selected from the most influential shareholders. The sum the Directors have agreed to pay on account of preliminary expenses is merely sufficient to recoup the actual expenditure, which has been regulated throughout with the strictest rcQard to economy. Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained from, and applications for the remaining shares, and for Agencies, may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before mentioned.

This Company is formed to carry on a trade with the na tives on the West Coast of Africa, by bartering Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, and other manufactured goods, for Palm Oil, Cotton, Ivory, Ground Nuts, and the various pro ducts of that great continent • to throw open to the public the benefit of th a t w hi c h has hitherto been a close and pro fitable trade to a few, and, by extending its operations into the interior, to spread at the same time the beneficial influ ence of commerce and civilisation amongst its dense and active population. _ It is well known that the African trade, particularly on the great rivers, has hitherto been exclusive, and that la -ge fortune* have been realised, wherever the required capital was at command, by the simple system of Darter carried on with the natives. At present Palm Oil fo'ms the most important article of trade with the whole coast of Africa. The production is un limited, so much so, that wherever the civilised trader has not penetrated, the nuts of vast regions of palm trees are left to rot in the forest. The constant demand for Palm Oil in all European markets is such that any quantity can be sold on its arrival in England. The export of Palm Oil from the Bight of Biafrahas proved to be on the average about 40,000 tons a year, representing a value of about £1,600,000. and this large amount has been col lected by the natives within the small part of coast line from Cape Formosa to the Cameroons, not more than snout 300 miles. This trade is almost exc usivrly in the hands of a few English merchants, and is susceptible of very consider able increase. The Bight of Benin is next in importance in the export of Palm Oil • according to an official report of the trade in 1857, no less th'an 21,172 tons of Palm Oil, of near £850,000 value, were rt ere au--- , exported from the factories of Palma , Be ni n, La g os, --ey, Porto Novo, and Whydah.

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND, (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) GALICIANNOLIIINIAN FRONTIER, July 2. The combined expedition from Galicia to Vol hynia, after being organised, disorganised, and re• organised on various plans, was declared ready for the frontier last week, and on Sunday the points of rendezvous were made known, and orders issued to assemble the same evening. Three thousand names had been inscribed, and arms for that number of men concealed in the woods near the border, but so many seizures were made by the Austrian soldiers and police that, at the last moment, it was found impossible to arm more than 2,000. Then came the news that Minniewski, who was to command the left wing, and who had more than the usual diffi culties to contend with in getting his force together, would not be ready to cross with the main body ; a nd, ultimately, when the centre, under General Wysocki, and the right wing, under Colonel Horo dinski, had succeeded in reaching the forests which extend from Galicia far away into Volhynia, it ap peared that between them they could only muster from 1,100 to 1,200 men. With this very small army, in two divisions, it was resolved to attack Radziwilow, the nearest Russian town to the Aus trian frontier town of Brody ; and it was hoped that if it were taken Minniewski would be able to enter the place the next day with 500 new troops. To wait for Minniewski was impossible, as there was reason to believe that the Austrians were already on the track of Wysocki and Horodinski; indeed, the rear guard._ of _the latter had scarcely crossed when the approach of. Aastrian troops was An nounced, and some of the Polish gentlemen of the neighbourhood who had undertaken to see the de tachment to the frontier would, but for the darkness and storminess of the night, in all probability have been made prisoners. The plan agreed upon was that Wysocki and Horodinski should both make for Radziwilow— the former from the immediate neighbourhood, the latter from a point about six English miles to the south. If Horodinski was attacked first Wysocki was to march to his assistance. Otherwise, it was the intention of Wysocki to remain on the defensive in the woods before Radziwilow until Horodinski announced his approach. This plan for various reasons could not be carried out. Wysocki, pursued by the Austrians, had to take a difficult and circuitous road to the border, or he would have been stopped before he had fairly started, and when he had at last got over his men had marched nearly 30 miles and had eaten nothing for 24 hours. Worse than that, it was 7 in the morning, and there were no signs of Horodinski, who had promised to advance towards Radziwilow at daybreak, and expected either to arrive there at 3 o'clock, or, in the event of being attacked by superior force, to receive aid from Wysocki within an hour, at the utmost, from the commencement of the battle. However, at about 8 o'clock some 800 Russians had collected outside Radziwilow, and were gradu ally improving their position, when Wysocki, though still ignorant as to the position of Horodinski, found it necessary to attack them. The oppoing forces were nearly equal, but the Russians, it is to be pre sumed, bad had a few hours' sleep, and something to eat the day before, and had not worn themselves out by a march of 30 miles. There was plenty of cover on both sides, the Poles firing for the most part from a forest, while the Russians aimed coolly and quietly enough from a field of rich, ripe corn, which if it could not protect at least sufficed to con ceal them. Between the wood and the wheat there were a few houses and huts, chiefly inhabited by Jews. Here a number of Russian sharpshooters established thpraselves, and for some time kept up a murderous fire, from which the Poles could only save themselves by burning the miniature village. When the Russians came out they were charged and driven into the corn by a company of sithemen. This was the only instance of anything like hand toland fighting throughout the battle. No cavalry were engaged, there were no bayonet charges, nor was a single volley fired. The Russians, like the Poles, fought in open order from beginning to end, and did not once give them the oppo . r o tunity which they have so often profitedb y 1 other engagements of firing upon dense, banger The Polish infantry were too enfeebled oY h several tho and fatigue to be allowed to charge, for w ard; as companies were very anxious to be led for the cavalry, the horses were oe so e other heed, the that many of them could scarcely move. c alled back his Russians, when the Polish the tired foremost line of skirmishers Ge into the forest, showed no disposition to follow t h Poles half covered in the entirely concealed in the as it - had begun — w ith the P ein ol and the battle ended woad, and the Russians ersone who found them corn-fields. The only osition were the unhappy selves in a tota ll y i n habitants of the littl e v il Jews and other neutra l ag s so unfortun ately s ituated between the two where Horodin ski wondering bodieswr h While w yooe combatants.kw he did not come to his assist ance,,allant officer had actually entered Rad ziwilow could be, and whi that three o'clock, and thr (consist i ng of from 400 to 500 m en ) ziwilow at his detachment was nc,t beaten bac k until five, when all that was left of it r e ti re d to t h e frontier and entered Galicia without being purs ued. If Wysocki had been abl e t o k eep hi s ap pointment Radziwilow might, and doubtless would, have fallen into the possession of the Poles. As it was, Horodinskits corps was so fearfully cut up and so completely beaten that Wysocki, when be came up at seven, could see no signs of its having been any where the appointed place of meeting. He did not even " know the right wing had passed the fron tier until the news was given him by an English gentleman who had gone as an amateur to visit Radziwilow under the impression that it was already in the hands of Wysocki, and who, finding that a battle was going on, and perceiving that "some one had blundered," went into the thick of the fire and told the General that he had seen Ho rodinski cross over into Volhynia the night before. Wysocki thought that if he went on fighting Ho rodinski must soon be near enough to hear the firing; but Horodinski was dead. He had fallen in a desperate hand-to.hand struggle in the middle of the market-place of Radziwilow at the head of his troops, urging and calling them on to the very last. It is feared that Major Sykiewicz, who commanded the infantry, shared his fate.

Ultimately Wysocki; after holding a coancil of war, decided on Wednesday evening to repass the part frontier, and he is now, with by far the greater of his men, in Galicia. Ido not think the entire number of killed and wounded in Wysocki's corps can have amounted to anything like a hundred, wed very few indeed fell into the hands of the Austriens. The arms they left in a place of safety. Wysocki having been too late for Horodinski, and not having waited long enough for Minniewski, it is thought neverthe'ess that Mieniewski will enter Volhynia to-day, and try for the third time whether rea w so y n so f for i, s supposing l oss in u itol t s . t a few companies of Poles can drive the Russians l erdn e o seo r e f d , Hwao a p ß uo t te t brh a d a ot d a e ldb z te k i i esn i wsinsnikgghl the a t R w hfv h aie e . to make a serious attempt. who effitisc:a T diGw, wiack, h tenaeean e rrisn:i kseci dinza t wii i h lrtntnae i hinyss e yri yre e .e)sis. reoetaeecdpnrki addffi detachments rapeweyrdea:nsmltcso) crgaiiari see inc places,s to gether, scarcely , the chiefs of this service f: he officer mortally, after being actively employed throughout' tirailleurs in position, and Captain G Ithe z a d i a n; k i i n , keeping places. Another andd no k t e h e e p r in filling up the gaps along what appeared to be a very long line, considering the small number of men engaged, fell just at the end of the action, which lasted from 8 until 12, and again from about a quarter-past 12 until 2. In spite of the report spread a few days ago that Colonel Jordan had been killed while leading the centre of the last detachment which left Western Galicia for the Kingdom of Poland (1,100 strong, in three separate bodies), it appears now, to the great joy of his numerous friends,that he is alive, and not very seriously wounded. About 200 of the entire force are said to have penetrated into the kingdom. The rest were either killed, wounded, and, made prisoners, or driven back into Galicia. Among the dead are several young men belonging to the principal families in Poland. Colonel Jordan was chief of Dembinski's staff during the Hungarian war. He is the head of the military division of Cracow and Sandomir, and the last expedition but one which entered the kingdom from Cracow in any force—the one in which Nullo was killed—left under his direction, though not, as many journals have stated, under his personal com mand. Before the whole corps could be got into the presence of the enemy the first companies were prematurely routed, and the general did not make his appearance on the other side of the frontier at all. stances under which Mielencki joined the insur gents in the first instances are rather remarkable. resi'denee, he was out riding one day, when he found a priest belonging to ono of the newly formed de taehments defending himself against three Cossacks, who had surrounded and were threateniu him. Rlieleneki 'rode - tit 'to" the grout), wrested the fence from the grasp of the Cossack nearest to him, ran him through, attacked the second, and put the third to flight, Cossack No. 2 following soon afterwards. The insurgents, who had witnessed Mielencki's ex ploit from a distance, now came up, asked Mielencki who he was, to possess such daring and such dex terity in the use of arms and yet not belong to the insurrection, and ultimately entreated him to take the command of their detachment. Mielencki would not hear of such u thing. He explained that be was married, and bad not been married very long, and hat it aid not enter into his views to desert his 'amily ; but no such excuses availed him. The in surrection claimed him for her own. Mielencki had full permission given him to write a letter to his wife apologising for not returning home so soon as he had originally intended, and then was hurried off to the theatre of war, where one cannot help thinking, from the zest with which he entered into the spirit of the performance, that he wished in his heart to be from the very first moment. According to the Gazeta Nat odowa of Lemberg, there were 13 officers and 140 soldiers killed, and 240 soldiers wounded in the railway accident with a purpose done not long since at Malkinia. Railway travelling is not a very agreeable mode of locomo tion just now on the Polish lines. It is bad enough if the engine-drivers and conductors are in the ser vice (as most of them notoriously are) of the Na tional Government. If they are not in its service the case is rather worse, as the rails are taken up without their knowledge. Then, instead of driving the train quietly to the place where the insurgents are waiting to fall upon the soldiers, they go on to ers suer a. the dangerous p oint at the usual pace, and t ffhe result is a shock from w hich all passeng The train, however, which is said to have b een s mashed to pieces at Malkinia seems to have car ried soldiers alone. A Pole who has lately arrived in Galicia from amused himself Warsaw gives an amusing account (I do not think while he was at much awe of the constant anxiety of he was actually tray Cracowßailway on the Warsaw and Cr ' passen gers as to whet h er the train before the end of the journey would be a bruptly stopped, th rown over an embank went, fired upon, or, by some unknow . n process, blown nro. On the morning of the facetious travellers departure, some Of the passengers, who ee j a yed the confidence of the railway officials, a sked, before taking th • - their tickets at the Warsaw terminus, whether it was proposed to travel by. They were told that if no troops were conveyed they would have nothing to fear, and as there were no troops at the station the travellers took their places, made themselves com fortable, and went off in peace. It was not until they arrived at the next station they discovered that at the very last moment four luggage Tans, containing a company of infantry, had been hooked on to the train ; and from this moment they were in torture, and saw peril in every flag signal and heard death in every whistle, until a few stations further on the soldiers got out. OAK SILK NV ORMS.—The culture of the oak silk worm, from Japan, is not the least interesting of the attempts made in this direction. A few grammes of its eggs, sent to the Imperial Acclimatation Society, were con fided to some of its members. Other eggs, placed in M. Guerin Meneville's hands by Dr. Blether, were distributed by that gentleman amongst agriculturists, who not belonging to the society, could not profit by the distribution made to its members. It is now possible to form some idea of the results obtainable from the oak silkworm, M. Guerin Meneville having presented to the Aced6mie des Sciences coccoons produced by worms hatched from the eggs that had been confided to him. Those eggs although hatched somewhat prematurely, gave caterpillars which have been successfully reared at divers and distant points of Franco—at Vincennes for instance, and at Toulon ; and, above all, the caterpillars feed and thrive on the leaves of the common oaks of the forest, Quercus pedun culata and sessiflora. But besides the Japanese silkworm of the oak, there is another oak silkworm obtained from the north of China. The introduction of this valuable species, which had been vainly attempted for the last ten years, is now in the way of being accomplished . Larva), hatched on the 19th of May last, had already, at the time of writing, reached their second moult or change of skin without manifesting the slightest symptom of disease. Their colour at first was deep black. They afterwards be came bright green, studded with orange and sky-blue tubercles.

The weather at commencement was very favourable to the shooting, but towards 11 o'clock the sun was so intensely bright that the shooting which took place then, until fully an hour afterwards, was conducted under great disadvan tage. After this time, until the close of the day, there was a gentle breeze and just sufficient sun to make the day agreeable without being oppressive. Two additional acci• dents happened yesterday, John Bilham, Ist battalion Coldstream Guards, was wounded in his left wrist, just above the wrist, and Private Frank Davis, of Ist battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, was injured in the right arm and both cheeks from the splinter of a bullet. In the course of the attcrtoon the Duke of Cambridge sent a mounted or derly for copies of all notices in reference to the prevention of accidents. The following notice was posted up at various parts of the ground " 1. Any person firing at the target when the white danger disc is exhibited above it will be fined 10s. " 2. At each firing point are placed two boards, between which competitors will fire at the targets with correspond ing numbers. Any person firing at the wrong target will be fined 10s. " 3. Any person refusing to pay the fine at once will be excluded from all further competition, and his entrance fees returned." Previous to the markers and officers in charge o firing parties resuming their duties after dinner they were addressed by Colonel Steel on the above notice, and Lord Elcho, M.P., said they were to see that no one discharged a rifle except in the pits provided for th© purpose, and with the permission of the officer or non-commissioned officer in charge of the range. An officer had been disqualified from further shooting owing to this cause, and the council had determined to adopt the same measure in each case that came under their notice. This year the association have adopted a new system of marking, consisting of painted discs, white representing a _ . bull's-eye, red a centre, and black an outer. Attached to each disc is a brush, which washes out or paints over each shot, as the case may be, the disc pointing out the exact position of the shot, which the old system of marking by flags did not do. Although the new plan has advantages over the old one, it has one disadvantage in not clearly notifying to the firing point that a man has left hisrnantlet, for which Lieutenant Gould, of the 12th Surrey Rifles, at the solicitation of Lord Elcho, was engaged yesterday in devising a remedy. The public schools competition for the Ashburton Chal lenge Shield caused great excitement, as a large number of the upper ten thousand came down to witness the match. There were eleven representatives of each of the following schools :—Eton, Rugby, Cheltenham, Winchester, Harrow, and Marlborough. The ranges 'are 200 and 1;00 yards, five shots at each distance. Eaton won theAshburton Challenge Shield, and Mr. Deedes, of Winchester, Earl Spencer's Cup, value £2O, which was competed for by the best eleven from each school. This prize was won last and the year before by Eton. Harrow was the winner of the Ashburton Chal lenge Shield for the two previous years. The IVinchester College corps is only composed of forty members. D The following is the total number of marks obtarni‘edar.Y each of the schools:—Eton, 246 ; Rugby , 230; borough, 224; Harrow, 229 ; Cheltenham, 193 ; g tad d and chester, 223. Th e winners on both sides were hoisted carried by their comrades round the ground. In flouting for the AssociationPrizcl-captal adjutant of the 3d Manchester Rifles, made se yen bull's-eyes out of seven shots, at 200 yards, and in firing for Lord Ver non's Prize, made three cartongs at an 8-inch bules-eye at 600 yards out of ten shots, which was justly considered to be most extraordinary shooting, The scores made for the other prizes contested for up to he close of the day revealed some excellent shooting, and Capt. Benning, lst Bedford, headed the score with 20 ; Corporal Hall, Ist York, Sergeant Millard, 11th Middlesex, and Corporal R u dd, I s t C um b er l an d , eac h ma de 18 points at the 200 yard s range f or t h e Queen ' s P r i ze; 12 gen tlemen made 17 points each ; and 63 competitors scored 16 each.

First Lord of the Admiralty, arrived at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth dockyard, the official residence of Vice- Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., yesterday afternoon, from London, and shortly afterwards, accompanied by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent Geo. Elliott, walked through the dockyard, going on board and minutely inspecting the Enchantress, new. Admiralty paddle yacht, Master Commander Petley, and the Royal Sovereign, turret ship. On leaving the latter ves sel, the Duke visited the Warrior dock, in which the iron frigate Hestor is receiving her bilge keels, giving a cursory look as he passed along at No. 4 dock undergoing alterations. From the Warrior dock the duke proceeded in the Admiral's carriage to the site of the intended naval barracks outside the walls of the dockyard and between the north east corner of the yard and the London turnpike road. The ground on which the new barracks will stand will comprise part of the site of the northern portion of the present Portsea fortifications which are about to be levelled. After spending some time there, the Duke re-entered the Admiral's carriage, and, returning to the dockyard, embarked on board the Fire : Queen, steam yacht, Master Commander Pau l l, 'and crossed overio Osborne on a visit to her Majesty: - - - Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., Porf Admiral and Naval Commander - in Chief at Ports mouth, yesterday morning shifted his flag at the fore of H.M.S. Victory from white to red, the flag ship's guns firing the usual complimentary salute on the occasion. It was rumoured yesterday at Portsmouth tha the Channel fleet is about to proceed on a cruise in the North Sea, and will probably make a second visit to the Baltic. The Columbine, 4, screw steam-sloop, 669 tons, 150 horse power, Commander T. L. H. Ward, has been refitted at Sheerness, and sailed on Tuesday for the north, for the protection of the Scotch fish eries. Since the Columbine left Sheerness some few weeks ago on particular service Lumley's new patent rudder, with which the vessel is fitted, has been thoroughly tested at sea, and is declared by the authorities to be a complete success, at least 50 per cent. being gained over the old rudder, both in time of turning and in the diameter of the circle. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Saturday, the 11th inst. Yesterday Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, held the first review this season of the troops composing the garrison of Chatham. Accompanied by Lieut.-Gen the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K C. 8., Adju tant-General to the Forces; Col. the Hon. R. Char teris, aide-de-camp ; and Colonel Chapman, C. 13., he arrived by early train from London, and was received at the railway station by Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the garrison, the guns at the Corn wallis battery, manned by a detachment of Royal Marines, firing a royal salute. The various corps were under arms at 9 o'clock. Each of the troops, the whole of whom were in heavy marching order, was provided with 15 rounds of blank cartridge. On leaving the railway station his Royal. Highness and Staff rode to the other side of the garrison to St. Mary's casemated barracks, just vacated by the In valid Depot, and now undergoing some important alterations to adapt them for the reception of troops. All the alterations are being carried out from the suggestions made by the Army Sanitary Commis sioners, but it is probable that they will only be used as a kind of makeshift, and before long revert to their former use—that of vast store places for the entire garrison. The Duke of Cambridge spent half an hour at St. Al ary's barracks, during which he visited most of the quarters set apart for the officers. His royal highness next rode to Brompton barracks, occupied by the Royal Engineers and the infantry of the Line, and spent a short time at that establishment. The troops were formed on the great Lines by 11 a.m., and, notwithstanding that the strength of the garrison of Chatham is smaller than it has been for a number of years, the force under arms was an exceedingly imposing one. The troops included the Royal Engineers, under the command of Colonel H. D. Harness, C. 8., consist ing of the six depot companies as well as the other companies at the head-quarters ; the Chatham division of Royal Marines, commanded by Col. T. Leman, C. 8., and consisting of two battalions under the respective commands of Col. Lowder, Aide-de camp to the Queen, and Col. Foote, and three bat talions of infantry under the command, respectively, of Col. H. Jervis, Col. E. Newdigate, and Col. the Hon. J. J. Bourke, including the Ist and 2d Bat talions of the 4th King's Own, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 12th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 19th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 20th Regiment, 31st Regiment, 35th Regiment, 43d Light Infantry, 51st King's Own Light Infantry, t h e r o h pe troop p " 52d Light Infantry, 75th Regiment, 81st Itegimet 91st Regiment, 94th Regiment, 101st Royal aic::: lir being Fusileers, and the 102 d Royal Madras Fusileers.
