The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the Improved pile ot the mat, and. owing to the mode of weaving, great durability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of artic les manufactured by this process over the present method will be well understo d in the trade when it is stated that matting of all descririons, and car riage and door mats, dm., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surf ace hitherto unattained.

The Din, ctors of the Life Association of England having secured the influence of very valuable connections throughout the United Kingdom, in mist 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 upon thu business of Life Assurance on the 15th July next, on which day a comp etc prospectus, detailing the plan of the Cempany's epo ations, and containing 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 Comp ny 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 eferee, by which the Association's business transacti' ns will be rendered perfectly equitable in opera tion, and afford the best security, whilst the Association will be pl.,ced in the be t condition to fulfil its gag question wit be well ada p tedp to the ments. The plan in wants of the people. affording all the a vantages of present Life Offices, and some of those of a dank. It will also ope rate at less risk, less expense, and lower premiums than offices ordinarily c o nstituted. 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 risen, 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 limitea 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 T emu o the actual expenditure, which has been regulated throughout with the strictest mud to economy. Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained from, and applications for the remaining sharps, and for Agencies, may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before mentioned.

This was precisely one of those cases i n which British spirit, when ap pealed to, acts irresistiblys farin surmounting difficul ties. The arrangements, aas paid markers were concerned, had utt er ly broken down any one v olunteering in their pl ace must have felt ; felt that he was entering on a service of proved recentlyroved danger, the efficacy of the safeguardsmos having still to be established. Yet, itidevised ten minutes after the case had been fairly put before t n a assem bly the difficulty was re moved a s completely asi it had never existed ; for if by any means a tempo rary collapse could be avoided the Association at a few bouts' notice might command any number of markers they required. It is only fair to the Cold stream Guards to say that they never shrank from the fulfilment of the task intrusted to them. If, instead of flesh wounds, their comrades had sus tained mortal injuries in the butts, they would, ap parently, have taken their places with equal sang }road to the last man. When Col. Steele assembled the men and questioned them yesterday, the only suggestion offered by one of the Guards was, that " perhaps if his comrade were up at the firing point instead of the Hythe sergeant, things might go on more ship•shape." They all admitted that with only one man in each butt, and with regularity enforced at the other end of the range, the system of marking was unobjectionable. A commanding officer, however, is bound to look to the safety of his men, or they will no longer feel the same confidence in his orders; and Colonel Steele may very well be. pardoned for thinking that seven or eight "splashes" in the course of two days was rather an undue percentage to fall to the lot of his regiment. The volunteers meanwhile exhibited a spirit no less praiseworthy. Under the leadership of Lord Elcho and Lord Ducie, the men who had volunteered for that special service marched off to the butts, rejoicing in the belief that they would be able to accomplish successfully what on the previous days had been largely tinctured with failure. They continued cheerfully at their work throughout the afternoon, and no casualty whatever was reported. This gratifying result was due in part, no doubt, to the improved arrangements intro duced by the Council, but likewise in no small de gree to the superior intelligence of the Volunteers themselves. They were moreover encouraged by seeing the heads of the Association give the most convincing proofs of their own faith in the system. At ono time, when railway collisions were of fre quent occurrence, it was jocularly suggested that public confidence could only be restored by the pre sence in each train of a director of the line. Here was an instance in which noble lords, members of the Council, voluntarily assumed analogous func tions, and slaved for hours at marker's duty into the bargain.

Gibbs, Bristol COURT OF EXCHEQUER. _ The crisis which had been impending at Wimble don for the previous two days in reference to the marking on the Swiss principle took place yester day. The military authorities on the ground de clined any longer to expose the troops to what they considered the dangers of the system. But, es there was something remarkable both in the mode of communicating this decision and in the spirit with which the ennouncement was met by the Council and the Volunteers, a slight retrospect is necessary to convey a clear idea of the proceeding. On Wed nesday evening matters were in this position—re peated accidents having occurred to the markers, application was made to the Commandersin-Chief, who heard all that the Council had to suggest in the way of additional precautions, and finally declared that, if neat morning, on viewing the alterations which were proposed, Gen. flay and Col. Steele, of the Coldstream Guards, were of opinion that the shooting might safely proceed, the Swiss principle of marking should be adhered to; but if their deci sion was adverse to that method the old flag-system should at once be employed. At half-past 7on `Wednesday night the only arrangements in exist ence were those made previous to the meeting for marking on the Swiss principle. By half-past 9 o'clock next morning, if faith were to be kept with the Volunteers, it was necessary that the Council should be in a position to act on either alternative, according to the decision of the military authorities. The business of a week had to be compressed into a single night, a second range of markers' butts suited for flag marking to be erected, and the sets of flags, forming an indispensable portion of their furniture, to be procured from town. Ob viously, there could be little rest for the execu tive that night. Lord Elcho , Capt ain Drake, ILE., Captain Wigram, of the Coldstream Guards, and Captain Page literally spent the intervening hours on foot or in the saddle, while fatigue parties of soldiers and civilians worked till 10 p.m., and began again with the first light at 2.30 a.m. Captain Drake, in addition to his exertions at this point, had undertaken some evenings before to give a reading of " Mr. Bob Sawyer's Party" in the Club-room, at 9 o'clock. If this were postponed the camp at large would suspect the existence of some grievous hitch, and the success, or, at all events, the enjoyment of the meeting of 1863 would be endangered. Accord ingly this able and versatile commander fulfilled his promise to the volunteers, and when he once more returned to work no one cou ld have guessed that his own thoughts were less pleasantly engaged than theirs had been in listening to him. Morning dawned, and, after the most strenuous and unre mitting exertions, the Council, at half-past 9 o'clock, were in a position to say to the military authorities, "We await your decision." This Gen. Hay was not prepared to give, as Colonel Steele was unfortunately detained in town, and did not reach Wimbledon till past 11 o'clock. In the mean time, of course, the arrangements with the firing parties were getting behind-hand, so it was agreed, pending Colonel Stee'e's arrival, the marking at those ranges where the greatest pressure was felt should be on the old flag system. When the com manding officer of the Guards ultimately arrived he was taken, with General Hay, to view the changes which had been made, and which, with the rules to be insisted upon at the firing points, the Council hoped would prevent the recurrence of accidents. The boards which were erected at some distance in front of each firing point to prevent the marksman from seeing any target but the one he ought to alm at were pointed out ; the rule by which volun teers would be prevented from getting into position before the danger signal had been taken down was discussed ; and, finally, the butts, in each of which there was only to be one marker at a time, were visited. The following special order had been widely circulated : " Several accidents having occurred to markers, the fol. lowing regulations will be most strictly enforced : " 1. No person will take up his position to fire at any target until the Register-keeper gives the word Ready,' and names the target at which he is to fire. "2. The person about to fire will take care that he fires between the boards, which are numbered the same as the target at which he is ordered to fire. "3. Any competitor firing at or hitting the wrong target, or infringing these rules, will be Occluded from all further competition throughout the meeting. "By order, S. FLOOD PAGE. " N.B.—The Council earnestly appeal to every competitor to assist them in giving effect to the above necessary rules." General Hay and Colonel Steele admitted that in their opinion no more effective precautions could be taken than those which had been devised, and that, if the instructions were only adhered to at both ends of the range, all danger of accident ought to be at an end. Later in the day they seem to have been under the impression that a qualified consent only was given by them to the Swiss system of marking ; but at the time the impression conveyed to the Council certainly was that these officers sanctioned the measures adopted during the night, and that the shooting was to proceed as usual. In that belief Lord Elcho quitted General Hay and Colonel Steele, and, telling the Guardsmen that he would not ask any man to undertake a duty from the discharge of which he himself shrank, went into one of the butts, and remained there for upwards of an hour. In the meantime, General Hay and Colonel Steele arrived at the conclusion that, although acci dents ought not to happen, it was still possible that they ,night happen ; and the British officers' bug bear "responsibility" having been placed on their shoulders by the Commander-in-Chief they deter mined to get rid of it as soon as possible. They accordingly drew up and signed the following do cument, which was duly forwarded to the Execu tive of the National Rifle Association : " Wimbledon-common, July 9. "Having most carefully considered the question of the present system of disc marking, and feeling the very grave responsibility a continuance of that system entails on us, we are compelled with much regret to decline to accept such responsibility beyond this day's shooting. CIEARLEs HAY, Alajor-Ueneral. " Tilos. STEELE, Colonel, Coldstream Guards. " The Executive of the National Rifle Association." Manifestly, such an announcement was as un pleasant as it was unexpected. The Council having, at great labour and expense, placed themselves in a position to adopt either system of marking which the military authorities mi h ght select ad a right to expect that one or other would be chosen.

Mr. Henry James, in his opening statement, said that the defendant, who ea gaged all the servants Employed in the kitchen of the hotel, had succeeded in seducing the plaintiff under a promise of mar riage, and after the connexion had gone on for some tima she urged him to fulfil his promise, when, to her astonishment, she found that he had married another person. Having been thus betrayed she insister` upon breaking off the intimacy, but this greatly exasperated him, and from that time he practised towards her a system of cruelty which ul timately compelled her to leave the hotel. The plaintiff brought an action for breach of promise of marriage and assault, but the learned judge before whom it came held that it must be divided into two actions, which should be tried separately, On the trial of the action for the breach of promise the plaintiff could not be called as a witness, and the only other evidence she was able to give being that of a foreigner the learned judge held that there was no case, and directed a nonsuit. The learned counsel added that the action for the assault now came on for trial, and he had no doubt that after they had heard the evidence they would be of op'nion that the plaintiff was entitled to substantial damages. Matilda Anscombe, the plaintiff, said that in March, 1861, she was employed by the defendant as head kitchen maid at the Groat Western Hotel. Afterwards they became engaged to be married, and the defendant then seduced her, In August last she first discovered that he was married, and she then broke off all intimacy with him. On the 20th of August she was speaking to Hardy, the second cook, when the defendant passed by on his way to the larder. On his return he abused her in the most violent manner and spat in her free. Ho then threw a kitchen knife at her, but it only just touched her shoulder. On another occasion he said he would kill her, if he were hung at Newgate for it. He was constantly using bad language to her. At another time, when she was in conversation with Hardy, he told her he would smash her face if he had to pay £2OO for it. On the 29111 August he struck her a violent blow in the face, and threatened he would kill her. On other occasions a bottle and a silver entree dish were aimed at her. He threatened to kill her if she spoke to Hardy again, end once or twice she was frigtened for her life, and ran into the street or upstairs. The effect of one of his blows remained on her forehead for a fortnight. In con sequence of this treatment she gave notice on the 2d of November to leave in a month, but at his re quest she remained a month longer. During that time his violent conduct continued, threatening to stab her and break her head, and throwing dishes and various other missiles at her. She left the hotel in January last. Cross-examined—l remained after the expiration of the month's notice, because he prevailed upon me to do so. I never made any complaint to Mr. Higgs, the manager of the hotel, because I was afraid of my life. The defendant is still head cook at the hotel. I did not consult a doctor about the blow I received on the forehead, but I was con fined to had three or four days. I was engaged to be married to Hardy, but through the defendant's behaviour lof course lost it. (Laughter.) He told Hardy what happened between him and me, and said to him, "If you marry her y o u must take the consequence of her having a child." Thomas Johnsen, who had been employed at the hotel, deposed to hearing defendant use filthy lan guage to the plaintiff, and seeing him throw things at her. Edwardy Hardy, the second cook, was called, but did not appear. He was then called in the customary form on his subpoena. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Murphy then addressed the jury on the part of the defendant. He commented on the improba bility of the defendant's story uncorroborated as it was by any other testimony than of one witness, although the alleged cruelty and assaults trust have been seen by all the persons employed in the kitchen, and characterised the action as one simply of extor tion. The defendant, who was a foreigner, having last year got married and settled, and wishing to throw a veil over his bachelor life, the plaintiff or her advisers no doubt thought that if she brought this action against him he would rather settle the matter than brave an exposure in court, and run the risk probably of losing his situation. Alnaud Bonisson, the defendant, was then exa mined. He desired to be examined through an in terpreter, but there not being one present, he gave his evidence in very intelligible English. He denied in toto that he ever struck or beat the plaintiff, or threw anything at her, or threatened to take her life. He said he was married on April 28, 1862, and that before he went to the Great Western Hotel he had been in the service of the Duke of Sutherland end the Marquis of Londonderry. Cross-examined-1 t is true that I was intimate with the plaintiff, but I cannot say when was the last time. I never promised her marriage. I was married at St. George's, H a eover-square. No Eno from the h o t e l went with us to the church, nor did I tell any one when I returned that I was now a happy man. That was my business; but the mar riage was soon known to every one. (Laughter.) I did not put my marriage in the newspapers, nor send round any car d s. (L aug hter.) We had no marriage breakfast at the hotel, but we breakfasted at my lodgings in Portchester-place. I did not ill use the plaintiff after she refused to renew the intimacy. Eliza Day, the fish maid at the hotel, was called to prove that the defendant used no violence to the plaintiff. She admitted that once, when the defen dant was in a passion with everybody in the kitchen, he threw a silver entree dish at the charcoal stove, but denied that ho aimed it at the plaintiff. John Parkes, wh o was employed at the roast, gave similar testimony. Mr. Henry James said the witness hardy had arrived, and he applied to have him examined. The Lord Chief Baron said as the plaintiff's case was closed he could not allow his evidence to be taken. The learned counsel having addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, The learned judge summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 40s. • • •• • , • .. 23 .. 23 .. 23 .. 25 . 23 . 23 26 e• •I, SECOND Szans-600 Yards.

One of the items consisted of 1,100 bags of biscuit, and beef, pork, and other articles were in proportion. A good deal of anxiety is being manifested by the officials to complete the Royal Sovereign at Portsmouth by the time which has been officially named, September, if possible, and the hands em ployed on her are being increased in number with this object. An immense amount of work, how ever, yet remains to be done, and it may safely be stated that the ship will not be complete, i.e., armed, stored, and ready for active service before the end of November or the beginning of December. On Tuesday George Hinckley, quarter-roaster of her Majesty's sloop Sphynx, at Plymouth, was pre sented by Port Admiral Sir H. Stewart, on Mount \Vise, with the Victoria cross, in presence of the Mayor of Plymouth, the Commander-in -Chief of the Forces, all the seamen off duty from the ships of war in port, and a large concourse of spectators. The cross is accompanied by a pension of £lO a year, increasing £5 annually for every good conduct bar obtained subsequently. Hinckley won the honour on the 9th Oct., 1862, during the attack upon the city of Fungwha, in China, where, wader a heavy fire, he succeeded in rescuing two wowided officers and carrying them to a place of safety. The Spanish war steamer Concepcion, from Southampton, arrived yesterday morning at Ply mouth, where she will embark his Royal Highness the Duke do Montpensier and suite probably to morrow, and then sail for Spain. The new iron-clad frigate Prince Consort, 35, in Keyham basin, Devonport, is rigged, and will be ready for the first division of the steam reserve early in August. On Wednesday she was placed in No. 1 dock to have her bottom examined wad. cleaned. The crew of the paddle-wheel steam sloop Sphynx, at Devonport, were paid off yesterday (Thursday). The sloop will be dismantled and placed at moorings with the third division of the steam reserve. The Salamander, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, 818 tons; 200 horse power, chief engineer Ben..

STONE V. STONE AND APPLETON. Mr. Karslake, Q.C. (with him Mr. Spinks and Mr. Searle) addressed the court on behalf of the rule nisi for a new trial which had been obtained for Mrs. Stone. The learned counsel dwelt with great emphasis on the injustice which had been done his client by the involuntary mixing up of her case with that of Mr. Appleton, who had been treated as if he had confessed to adultery, although there was no reason to think that he was not even aware of the suit. He also showed that no particle of evidence which was in the least degree credible was inconsistent with the hypothesis of perfect in nocence ; and he trusted, therefore, that the court, considering the very peculiar circumstances and the magnitude of the interests involved, would think it right to submit the question to another jury. Dr. Spinks and Mr. Searle followed on the same TELLERS. side. The court took time to consider, and intimated that they would not b© able to give their judgment till after the circuit.

This Company is formsd for the purpose o. carrying out upon an extensive scale the business of oil-seed crushing, which has ranked fos many years amongst the most profitable of our manufactures. The importance of this trade and the certainty of its future development to a much larger magnitude, are manifest from the great increase that has taken place in the consumption of vegeta le oils, both in England and upon the Continent, as shown by the amount of our imports of oil-seeds, which have risen since 1817 from 487,035 quarters, to an annual average, during the lait three, years, of ,401,6 3 quarters ; whilst th annual export of seed oils to the Continent has grown up, during the past five years, from 16,250 to 3 ,000 tons. Theconsum tion of oil-seed cake has advanced in a still g eater ratio, the import of foreign descriptions having kept pace with the extra supply from our home manufactures, thus establishing the imponant tact that oil cake is an 'article of permanent and increasingly extensive demand ; and there every reason to expect that England must become more and more a grazing country, owing to the high price of meat, and the disadvantage of competing in the growth of corn with countries more favoured by nature for this purpose. This statement is made without refer 4 rice to cotton-seed, which has increased in supply during the last few years more than tenfold; and although an article but recently applied to oil-producing and fattening purposes, the profits arising from its manufacture have been highly satisfactory. In order to commence operations at an early date, the Di rectors have entered into a provisional contract for the pur chase of the Seed-crushing Mills situated at Dover, in Kent, winch have lately been refitted with machinery upon the most approved principles. The price fixed for these mills is at the valuation of Messrs. Fuller and Horsey (the eminent valuers of this description of prope ty), who in their report say We have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that tor the purp ses for which the mills w-re erected they are without a rival, both as to the substantial character and ar rangements of the buildings, and also as to the machinery, the whole of wh ch (or nearly so) may be said to h ive been renewed within the last year, and all the ap fiances that mo dern science and practica experience have suggested up to the present time for ecmomical working with large results have been introduced in a Trost perfect manner." The -ituation of these mills, contiguous to the Harbour of Dover, and having the command of two railways, one of which loads at the doors, leaves no hing to be cesired either as re gards facilities for foreign imports, or the distribution of their manufacture throughout the kingdom. The cheap and rapid means of communication between Dover and the rail ays of France and Belgium, also enable them in a peculiar way to derive benefit from the export of seed oils to the con tinental cities. Although the productive power of the Dover Mills is un equalled by any similar manufactory in the country, there are ample facilities for greatly enlarging it at an inconsiderable coat. In the meantime, it is estimated that £BO,OOO only will be required for the purchase of and working this property as it now stands. By this purchase the Directors will be enabled to avoid the usual delay necessary for building, erection of machinery, &c., as the milts are now in full work ; and from carefully made estimates, and the practical experience of a portion of the Board, coupled with the fact that Mr. Edward Hales has con sented:to undertake the management of the business, the Directors antici,,xte with confidence aprofit of at least 10 per cent. upon the capital invested. Early possession of the property will be given, and opera tions can be commenced without delay, so that there is no reason to doubt that a dividend, from earnings, will be pay able svithin twelve months. The preliminary expenses of the Company will be stria' ly confined to the actual outlay. All applications for shares must be accompanied by a dep 'sit of £1 per share, and a fur ther sum of Lt 105. per share will be requited upon allot ment. Should no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full. Prospectuses with forms of application may be had at the Bankers and Brokers of the Company, and at the temporary offices.

OYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE. --The sawn I:4l.) invention, EVERY EVENING in an entirely new during the Performa Week. nce of their B r utal and Fatal Fight at Hammersmith, A protracted investigation was held late on Wednesday night by Mr. J. Bird, one of the Mid dlesex coroners, at the Traveller's Rest Tavern, Starch-green, Hammersmith, respecting the death of Richard Philip Collins, aged 36, who was killed under circumstances of great brutality. Mr. George Lewis, jun., represented Joseph West, who was charged with the manslaughter of the deceased. Joseph Dorsett, 8, Paradise-row, said that on the evening of June 6 the deceased and a man named West were in the Seven Stars public-house, New road, Hammersmith. Deceased was tipsy, and West only partially so. West threw down a cove reign h n a e nd said, " I will fi g ht you now. " Deceased would fight if any one would back him up. John Simpson, a brickmaker, said that he would do so. A man named Newell stopped the fight at that moment, but when he left for a few minutes they pulled off their coats and fought out side the house. West knocked deceased down nearly every time, and fell on and over him. Simpson picked West up, although he had promised to pick up deceased. Before the last round deceased said he would give in, but West knocked him down. After that they both went into the house. West then wanted to renew the fight, but deceased re fused. By the Jury—West deliberately went up to de ceased and knocked him down after he said he would give iu. The man Newell picked up de- ceased. Maria Collins, 3, Albert-place, Starch-green, said that deceased was a brickmaker. He worked until lately for West, but had left him and went to work for Messrs. Bird. West was angry at that. He was dreadfully injured when he returned home after the fight. He had four wounds on the head. A doctor was sent for, but h e never rallied, and died on the following Tuesday. 1) r. P. R. Tomlinson paid there were open wounds on deceased's head, resulting from blowe. Fram the appearance pres ented he was of opinion that something hard was in the hand when the blow was inflicted. The post mortena examination showed death to have resulted from abscess on the brain from the blows. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury , after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Joseph West, for killi ng and slay i ng Richard P. Collins. The Coroner then made out his warrant for the com mitment of West to Newgat e , to await his trial at the Central Criminal Court. pia ng as ed so ly the we et a ;00d ;her R.-d ir, 6 d to ;y of dily )ens ply. to 160 .1 ) 4 u one and 1 the very ;OM-. tare, Cal. !lap- 'ion- Itoke ;ate, ark e of , of pool, Va rim, ad e, gest ,outi .ole ales WS, . 112, ty of
