TEMPORARY OFFICES. 21, Old-jewry, E.C. PROSPECTUS. This company is established for the purpose of acquiring the business and connections of existing provincial Bank ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Srockpriociple. Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the balls of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose, full powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the Articles of Asso.iation. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ; but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con nections of extsting banks, i is intended to open branches in proving Jai cities and towns where, owing to the increase of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation of tw ) of the largest private banks in London with joint. stock establishments, fo:lowing other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint s toek association in banking business. If the system of banking carried on by public companies is admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap • plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of trade in the country genera' ly has crea ed a demand for fur ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro polis that the requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Shares of the three Banks in London consthuted for similar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. : Paid. Present Prices. The National Pro v i nc i a l X 44• £l2 . The London and C ounty The Provincial B an k cf Ireland 25 •.. 93 In further illustration of the profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur ing the past three years, it will be found on inspection of the official list that, out of that number, the shares of alt but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up capital. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Temporary Office of the Company, or of the Brokers or Offi c eto.

The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped 'from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of ava ue or uwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred milli on s sterlin,.., Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of this description, with its head-quarters in Liverpool, con nected with the East. Tne profitable nature of Exchange business is well knOwn, and the pr ac ti ce which has become so general of attaching Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest description of Banking business.

More than half the capital being already subscribed for, the list will remain open only a few days ; and, by a reso lution of the board, the whole of the remaining shares will be allotted in strict order of applicatipn pro rata. By the constitution of the arsomation, the directors are not to be paid for their services until the shareholders shall have received 7 per cent, dividend out of the profits, thus pledging their own remuneration on the success of the company. The hired transports Bellona and Thor yesterday went alongside the Arsenal pier at Woolwich, laden with returned stores from Corfu. The Westerbottom and verandah, also from Corfu, have discharged the greater portion of their cargoes from the dismantled fortress, consisting of 900 tons of guns, shot, carriages, and other war stores. Oa the 3d of April, 1862, the Royal Sovereign three decker, then but recently constructed to carry 131 guns, and fitted with engines of 800-horse power, nominal, was towed down Portsmouth harbour and placed alongside the dock yard to undergo the work of conversion to a 6-gun turret ship, on the plan advocated by Capt. Cower Coles, R.N. The work was to be completed in about 12 months, so that by April, 1863, it was expected she would be afloat and stationed at Spithead until the completion of the forts which are now in course of construction for the protection of that anchorage. In April, 1863, however, the ship was still in process of conversion. On the 9th of March, 1864, she was finally floated out of dock with the armour on her sides and her turrets, and one 12-ton smooth-bore gun (1,50- pounder) in her foremost turret, but with an immense amount of work remaining to be done before she could be ready for sea. Even now she cannot be made ready fo sea under six weeks or twe months, To-day she certainly will receive the remaining four guns for her turrets, which are ordered to be sent up to her from the gun-wharf, and sin will probably, in the course of one or two weeks, make a preliminary run over the measured mile; but neither re ceiving theremaining four guns of her armament nor making this preliminary run over the measured mile will qualify her for service. All the delay cannot justly be laid upon either the Admiralty or dockyard authorities. The work was altogether of an unusual kind, and, while shipwrights were learning to become " workers in iron " in lieu of workers in wood, the way had been felt, so to speak, by those in charge. Altogether, looking at the state of the ship now and bearing in mind past experiences, it would seem almost impossible to fix an earlier date for her maiden cruise than the end of June next or the beginning of July. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. E. B. Rice, to the St. George, vice Capt. Grenfell, whose period of service has expired—Commander F. G.

' The success attained by the Credit Mobilier of Paris has recently led to the establishment of somewhat similar insti' tutions in London, their introduction meeting with marked success, as is evidenced by the large dividends paid to their shareholders,and increased value of the shares, such increase being from 100 to 200 per cent. on the amount paid. The fact that Scotland, notwithstanding the magnitude and rapid increase of her commerce, has no institution of the kind contemplated, has suggested to the projectors of the present company the formation of an institution founded on similar principles to the Credit Mobilier of Fade, but em bracing a larger field for its operations. The progress of Scotland has been greater during late years than that attained by any other country in the world. Staistics of shipbuilding on the Clyde alone, during the year 1863, show that 171 vessels, with an aggregate ton nage of 121,000 tons, were launched, while 3,148 sailing ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 350,956 tons entered the river in the same year; but this number has been ex ceeded by the steamers, which reached the large number of 10,555, having an aggregate tonnage of not less than 1,035,982 tons. One of the great advantages of this establishment will be that Scotch houses can negotiate their foreign bills through the medium of this establishment, this department being one of the most profitable in banking business. The directors have succeeded in completing arrange ments for the purchase of the well-known, established, and profitable business of Messrs. D. Nathan and Co., of Cornhill, London, bullion and exchange hankers (who take a large responsibility in the company), upon such terms and conditions as will be satisfactory to the shareholders, the paymentof the purchase money being made entirely is shares of the company. Arrangements have also been made for the transfer, upon equally favour able terms, of the business of N. Monteaux et Fits, Palais Royal, Paris, bullion and exchange bankers, long known as the oldest and most extensive establishment of the kind in France, and now carried on by . Victor Monteaux, their successor, who will retain a considerable share interest in the company. The contracts for the transfers of the above list lie at the office of the solicitors for inspection. These arrangements will constitute a nucleus, and enable the directors at once to commence operations, as they eirter upon a valuable connection of many years' standing, and embracing a very large number of foreign correspondents. The objects proposed to be effected by the company are 1. To receive money at cat! or on deposit for fixed terms, and the ordinary business of bankers. 2. To grant temporary or permanent loans on approved public securities or private undertakings of undoubted merit and known solidity. 3. To make advances on merchandise and dock and other warrants, on title deeds of property in possession or rever sion for any temporary purpose, on contracts for carrying out or the finishing of works, or any other securities where their safety is unquestionable and the benefit to the com pany sufficiently advantageous. 4. The purchase and sale of the precious metals in all their forms. The company will be enabled by its facilities and connexiors, to import and export bullion, and to deal in foreign coins and bank notes on an extensive scale. 5. By means of the Paris branch it is proposed to un dertake the shipment of silver to the Bast via Marseilles, which can be done at a considerable saving of expense and time. ton, midshipman, to the Liffey—E. P. Tomkinson, naval cadet, to the Revenge—A. G. Waller, naval cadet, to the Marlborough—W. B. Ponsford, naval cadet, to the Phobe —and R. H. Carroll, assist Burg, to the Salamis. 6. The business transacted by the issue of small bills and letters of credit for the convenience of travellers and emi grants is incredible. Remittances from America to Ireland alone amount to several millions sterling per annum. By affording the same facilities to the English, German, and French population of America it is confidently anticipated that most profitable business can be done. 7. To negotiate approved foreign or inland bills, to trans mit funds in specie and in bills or otherwise, to any foreign State, and to arrange purchases or sales of any British or foreign securities at home or abroad. 8. To cash coupons, and to realise or undertake the management of the dividends on loan or other securities. Application for shares to be made to the secretary, at the temporary offices of the company or the brokers. lIE.A.LTH OP THE METROPOLIS. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The mortality falls with the progress of the spring months, and in the week that ended on Saturday the deaths in London were 1,307, and showed a decrease on those of the previous week and a more important decrease on those of the earlier weeks of April. The mean temperatures of the four weeks of last month were the following-4145 deg, 48 . 9 deg, 53•3 deg, and 47.6 deg. The average number of deaths in the 17th week of 10 years 1854-63, is, with a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,321; and the result of last week's registration differs little from the average weekly mortality at the end of April.

STAMPED ....sd. f k' fr A Scene in the French Senate, In the French Senate on Friday last, the 29th of April, a debate took place upon the subject —not a very exciting one it might have been thought —of the establishment of a line of steamers between the port of Granville and Jersey. The eccentric Mar• quis de Boissy, however, in speaking upon this subject, denounced the Prince of Wales for visiting Garibaldi, and employed such very intemperate expressions that the Paris papers ws re requested, it is said, by the" black man" to take no notice of them. A report of the speech appeared neverthe less in the Mondeur of Saturday, the 30th April, and the following is a translation of it : Everybody knows what has lately passed at the other side of the Channel; it is what I call a happy example; for whatever evil is done on the other side of the water, what ever presages revolution, I applaud with all my heart. If some persons have been grieved and deeply afflicted at seeing the social head of a great country debase himself as he has done ;if we have seen—oh I shame of our epoch I shame for a certain country, not for us—if we have seen the heir to a crown shake hands with a filibuster—(hear, hear)—for my part, my heart overflows with joy, for its revolution—revolution invoked by those who will be its first victims. Let not this imprudent prince deceive him self—(murmurs)—the revolution never pardons--(increas ing tumult)—it takes advantage—(explosion of murmurs ; interruption). lam told that lam wrong in speaking thus. I admit one thing—that lam not quite master at this moment ; but it is none the less true that princes who offer the hand to revolution are always its victims. (Agita tion.) Enough on this point, It seems that the Marquis de Boissy is not satis fied with this report, for in Tuesday's sitting of the Senate, as we learn by the .Moniteur of yesterday, he complained that it was inaccurate, and had been curtailed. He said— I will proceed as usual in very measured terms. lam made to use language which is quite opposed to my habits, language unworthy of the senate; for if I had used it it would have been timid and unworthy of a senator. I did not say, as the Moniteur makes me say (for I do not wish to quarrel with all the heirs presumptive to the European crowns) " the heir presumptive of a crown," but I said " the heir presumptive of the crown of England." Other lines follow against which I have nothing to say. Three lines come after, and in those three lines there are as many falsehoods of the Ittoniteur as words. lam sorry that the Moniteur, which bears the title of Moniteur Officiel, and sole official, should be thus the Lying dioniteur uncles the authorisation of the Government. At this the President, M. Troplong, rose, called the marquis to order, and told him that his words had been textually reproduced by the Moniteur, but that some of them had been suppressed. The President added that this had been done by his authority. M. de Boissy, in reply, again main tained that the Moniteur's report was inaccurate, asserted that there had been no tumulte, as stated in that report, and denied the right of the Presi dent, or of anyone else, to change or to suppress the official accounts of the proceedings in the Senate " I conclude," he added," and I sum up by declar. ing that I have been made to say what I did not say, and that the .lfoniteur is no longer exact, but is nothing more than a novel in numbers, instead of a faithful history." In replying to this, M. Troplong said: You have just propounded a theory which is quite wrong when you maintain that the report ought to reproduce exactly and without any restriction every word which falls from the mouth of a senator. If you imagine that the ob- jectionable words which escape from a speaker when he does not know how to contain himself, ought all to bereproduced in the .Miniteur and in the report, you commit a profound error; they ought on the contrary to be suppressed, and that has several times happened under circumstances which you ought to be acquainted with. In jurisprudence there aro acts in which words contrary to law, public order, and good manners are considered as unwritten. It ought to be the same in assemblies. The words which outrage all pro- piety ought to be considered as unspoken. The tribune is a sanctuary for politics expressed with decency ; but it is not a vehicle of publicity for politics which resort to invective, violence, and menace. (Hear, hear,) These are the views which influenced rue when I ordered the suppression of the words in question. I did not hear those words, but they were repeated to ale. The Marquis—Shall I read them to you? The President—lf you do they will not be reproduced in the J-1/012iteur. Danish Official Report of the Dybbol, The Marquis—l hav3 sent them to foreign papers. The President—You 'address yourself to foreigners be• cause you feel that you aro not powerful enough here to cause any scandal. The Marquis (warmly)—l am not in the habit of allow ing myself to be insulted by anybody. The President—Sit down; you are not in order, M. de Boissy. The following official report of the capture of tho Dybbol position by the Prussians upon the 18t11 April, has been issued from the Danish Ministry of War:— The Marquis—By anybody, understand. Your office is to preside with dignity, not to insult. (Protestations, great uproar, awl cries of "Order, order.") The President—lt is also my duty to maintain order in the Assembly, and as you are disturbing it I call you to order. Ultimately M. de Boissy was silenced by the Pre sident explaining that the Senatus Connitum of the 2d of February, 1861, and the Constitution, gave him entire authority over the reports of the Senate, and that on the 25th of February, 1862, he • had exercised this authority by suppressing certain ~ coarse and indecent words" uttered by M. de Boissy himself. Another Earthquake. A shock of earthquake appears to have ben felt in some parts of Sussex on Saturday night. The ,Susses: Advertiser says :—" Shortly before midnight on Saturday last a curi ous phenomena was experienced at Maresfield, Sheffield Park, Fletching, Chailey, and the neighbourhood, and which has been attributed to the shock of an earth quake. The shock seems to have been confined to a somewhat limited area, At Maresfield, the phenomenon was experienced at nine minutes past 11, and is described in a letter from Captain Noble as an extraordinary vibra tion, lasting 15 seconds, and shaking the doors, windows, and beds at Maresfield Lodge with some violence. The oscillation and vibration were likewise generally felt through out the parish. At Sheffield Park, the seat of the Earl of Sheffield, the earthquake was felt by the members of the noble Earl's family and household. The time recorded here is six minutes past 11. Among other indications, the but ler heard the mortar fall behind the wainscot, and a loose bar attached to a window shutter oscillated and struck the shutter. Lord Pevensoy and Mr. Douglas Holroyd, who were at Sheffield Park, distinctly felt the shock. At Scaymes Hill, it is stated that the bells at the public-house distinctly vibrated; while at Fletching, the family of Mr. Jones were disturbed by a rumbling noise. Similar sensations were experienced at Buckham Hill and Chailey—more especially at two cottages at the latter place, where the shock seems to have been more severely felt." Captain Noble writes One of the ladies of my family describes the sensation she experienced as that of having her bed moved to and from the wall against which its head stands, as though some one had got underneath it and were trying to lift it. As the bedstead in question stands nearly S.E. and N.W. this may serve to give an idea of the path of the earthquake wave,if such it were. I learn from various sources that this oscillation and vibration were felt all over the parish. Finally, three of my female servants were again alarmed some time after midnight by a rushing sound, as though of violent hail, passing close to their windows, although, on looking out, nothing was visible, nor has either hail or rain fallen here since the 28th ult. The Surrey Standard says :—" The village of Fletching was last Saturday night, about half-past 11, alarmed by a violent jarring of the houses, which was supposed by many to be either the shock of an earthquake or an explosion of some powder magazine. It was of very short duration, but so violent was it as to awake many from their sleep. One gentleman says, ' I was sitting reading on the ground floor, and n 3 Y chair quite shook under me.' It was also felt at the same time in the attic. We hear the shock was al so. felt a t Newick and Piltdown." For nearly three months the army had held tho Dybbol position with enduring courage against an enemy far supe rior in numbers and resources. Ho had been compelled to proceed to a regular siege of the field position, to obtain the prospect of overcoming its defenders. During the last few weeks his numerous and excellent artillery—with which ours could not cope, save with the certainty of total destruction before the storm—had played upon the position from various points with constantly in creasing vehemence. The most essential conditions for successful defence, consisting in the efficient eta to of the artillery, formidable passive obstacles, the energy of the liv ing defenders, and uninterrupted readiness of the karrison to repel att ac k, could not possibly be maintained in full vigour. These unfavourable circum, tames were greatly Increased by the bombardment of the position, lasting from tne 17th ult. to far on in the forenoon of the 18th, the most severe and continuous to which it had been exposed. The fire was especially concentrated against Forts 3,4, 5, and 6. Their parapets sere entirely demolished and their palisade works shot away. To remain in them was impossible. The re turn fire of our guns was reduced to a minimum, without possibility of renewal or repair of the defences. Added to this, several officers, some of rank, had been killed or wounded on the left wing on the morning of the 18th. Meanwhile the enemy worked in his trenches and in the nearest parallel, which, through connection with our rifle pits, the same night was rapidly formed into a continuous line from the extreme left wing to before Fort 8. He had thus gained a covered way and a protected positian to within 9 .60 yards, in some places in front of Fort 5 to within 200 yards, from our works. When guard was relieved upon the evening of the 17th the position was occupied by the following divisions : Upon the left wing, from Forts 1 to 6 inclusive, the /et brigade (the 2d and 22d Regiments); on the right wing, Forts 7 to 10, the 3d brigade (16th and 17th Regiments) ; upon the ground near the barracks was the Bth brigade (9th and 20th Regiments), as first line of reserve ; in the tete-de• pent were three battalions of the 2d brigade (3d and 18th Regiments) ; while another battalion of the 3d Regiment was posted as reserve behind Forts 9 and 10, upon the road to Aabenraa. The infantry garrison had previously been permitted during the day, and whenever the bombardment was very violent, to seek cover in the ground immediately in rear of the works. This permission was possibly made use of in most of the forts, as several hours in the forenoon of the 18th passed without any apparent diminution in the violence of the bombardment, which seemed indeed rather to increase. About 10 o'clock the enemy broke forth along his whole line, from Forts Ito 6. Fort 5, one of the most severely injured, was the first reached, and seems to have been surprised and captured without a shot being fired. Almost simultaneously Fort 6 was stormed with scarcely any check. The garrison running into the trenches found the enemy already on the parapet. Fort 4 was taken a little later, but here the resistance is said to have been greater. The same seems also, at least in part, to have been the case with the remaining works on the left wing. The small-arm fire now brought up the reserve. General Da Plat, commanding the position, hurried to the front. The Bth brigade was instantly sent forward to occupy the second line of entrenchments, but the enemy was already far advanced upon the extreme left wing. The brigade commander at this point, Colonel Lassen, as well as both battalion commanders of the 22nd Regiment, had fallen, and several officers were wounded; consequently the resistance was not successful in checking the enemy outside the second entrenched line, which had also lost its natural support in Fort 6, and the Ileche of the high road, some hundred paces in the rear. The 20th Regiment, which rapidly hurried to meet the enemy, encountered him 200 yards on this side the en trenched line, but drove him back to a hedge in its front, where his resources had already arrived. The general of the division in person was present in the sharp engagement which took place here about 11 o'clock, upon the ground both south and north of the main road between Dybbol mill and the barracks. He brought up the Bth brigade, and endeavoured to cheek the enemy's advance until notice had been given to the right wing to commence a general and tactical retreat. Upon the left wing one battalion of the 17th Regiment had occupied the trenches between Forts 7 and 8, with the latter fort; the second battalion held the trenches between forte 8 and 9. During the storm Fort 8 did not fire a shot, but when at 10.15 the enemy debouched from the line between 5 and 6, and advanced in columns against the entrenched line of 6 to 7, a heavy fire was poured into his flank from the let battalion of the 17th Regiment in Fort 7. The line from 6 to 7 had been intended to be occupied by the brigade in the tote-deloht, as soon as this was relieved by the brigade advancing from Sundsmark. But as this force had not yet come up, and the resistance in the first line was not strong enough to admit the reserves to deploy, the enemy succeeded in penetrating the second entrenched line. He passed through the line from Forts 6 to 7, and entered Fort 7 frcm the rear. Trenches 7 to 8 were thus enfiladed, and became untenable. Col. Bernstorff then ordered an attack to recover Fort 7, which was not successful. The colonel was mor tally wounded, and the line from six to seven obliged to be given up, the garrison retreating, skirmishing from hedge to hedge. Meantime the 2d battalion of the regiment held its post, and not being attacked in front faced about and took the enemy in flank, as he showed him self in rear of Fort 7, At about 11 o'clock the 17th Regi ment began the retreat, which the 16th Regiment had already commenced, while one battalion of the 3d had taken up its post upon the Aabenraa road, to cover the retiring brigade. The retreat from the Dybbol position was thus about to commence along the whole line, when the commander-in chief arrived. Warned by the small arm fire in the position, before receiving a report of the state of affairs—for a break down of the telegraph had necessitated the report being brought to Ulkibol by hand—he had given orders to the different divisions in the cantonments to advance according to the arrangements already made. The commanding general took up his post upon an ele vation to the north of Sonderborg, whence he could over look the engagement ; the chief of the staff went to the nor thern tete-de-pont, where General Steinmann soon after wards arrived to take command of the right wing. The sub chief, Major Rosen, had hastened to the front, and was in search of General Du Flat, near the barracks. The enemy continued to send forward larger masses of troops, and strong bodies of trailleurs came up upon his left flank. The Bth brigade could no longer hold its ground. General Du Plat fell mortally wounded; Major Rosen met the same fate, as he was hurrying up to assist his comman der. Major Shau, the chief of the divisional staff, was also wounded, and these distinguished officers shortly after wards fell into the enemy's hands. Towards 12 o'clock the remainder of the left wing reached the tete-de-pont, which, together with the bat teries outside and at Sonderborg, and the Rolf Krake, directed a powerful fire upon the advancing enemy, holding him in check, and forcing him to seek cover. The Commander-in• Chief then took the necessary steps to secure the retreat of the right wing, which was not yet in sight from the tete-de-pont, and to organise the retiring troops—most deprived of their leaders—in a defensive position across the Sund. The adjutant at healquartars carried out this task, and at the same time assigned places to the troops arriving from the cantonments. The Guards were posted in the trenches from the northern bridge to the castle ; field batteries 2,8, and 10—in all 18 guns -- were mounted in the works already prepared in the church yard and near the castle, and the 11th battery avir s ent OUt Regiment, constantly in part along in front of the Mill-hill to fire into the enemy's right flank. An advance of the Guards to cover the retreat of the right wing, which had been intended, was not necessary, as the 3d brigade and the battalion of the 3d the entrenchments along the Al. heavy loss. t e h n e ga e g h e e d r , e, su th cc e ee l d 7 e t d h inR Regiment t g etutivnegtreat, The 3d brigade was ordered by General Steinmann across 3d and the 18th Regiments.

An attempt to storm the trenches outside the north tete-de-pont was c timero ss - t fi h r e e repulsed by two companies of the 3d Regiment, and an effective E arm fire was brought to bear upon the enem y's flank from the trenches upon Ale. It is believed buatptoeuries at Sattrup that his loss at this point was considerable. In the meantime, however, it became evident that he fetes-de-pont, ia themselves weak, could not long be held. The artillery:fire upon them became more and more vehe ment , their sides were enfiladed from Dybbol-mill, their guns dismounted, and as longer defence would have ren dered it doubtful whether the enemy, in a determined at tack, might not cross the bridges simultaneously with our troops, it was determined to commence the evacuation, fur which the repulsed attack just mentioned afforded an op portunity. The evacuation was then carried out from the wings, and the bridges were detached, the northern first, both under a heavy fire, but with exemplary quiet and order. THE BRITISH AND THE AUSTRI AN FLEETS.--A ce the war vessels N will , easels letter from Kiel of the 30th of April say!—" According to what we have just learnt here the Austrianr squadron soon come to the Bay of Kiol t o reinfo rce of Prussia, which, in order t o escape the forces of Denmark, have ta ken refuge in the D u t c h pc , rts. portTh e iarrivals also ed ras oefgaanrdEngF.sh sq uadron of obs erva ti on in our very probable.

The Commander-in-Chief has not yet been able to mention by name those who distinguished themselves en this bloody day, and terminated a long episode filled with hardships, sufferings, and the most grievous proofs of heroism ; but he has reported to the ministry the unreserved and devoted courage with which the officers of the army, from the gene ral to the lowest subaltern, went into action at the head of their men. Although the day has not been fortunate for our valiant army, it has at any rate not lessened the repu tation it had already acquired by its defence of the Dybbol position. The Commander-in-Chief cannot precisely specify the extent of our losses, but they cannot be estimated at less than upwards of 4,0j0 men in killed, wounded, and missing. The enemy's loss must also have been great, CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road, London.

The military invalids brought home from the Mauritius in the Shannon freight-ship, as reported in the Sun of yesterday, were transferred by a Government steamer at an early hour yesterday morning to the Royal Victoria Mili tary Hospital at Netley, At 4 p.m. the ship sailed from Splhead for London, with the wind at S.S.E. Major. General Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.8., yesterday commenced his inspection of the troops and garrison quar ters under his command in order to draw up his final report for the information of the Field-Marshal Commanding-in- Chief on resigning his command of the Woolwich district at the close of the present month. General Dacres will then be succeeded, as already announced, by Col. B. C. Warde, C. 8., who, it is expected, will be promoted to the rank of Major-General. A timepiece has been presented at Warley Barracks, near Brentwood, to Sergeant J. Marley, late president of the Garrison Temperance Society, on his retirement from the service. Lieut.-Col. Shaw's newly invented gun carriage and gun, from which the trunnions have been removed, were on Wednesday conveyed to Shoeburyness from Woolwich, for the purpose of undergoing a course of experiments, which were ordered to be commenced this morning. The gun was flied at Woolwich iu the presence of the Ordnance Select Committee, and fully realised the advantages anticipated. Col. Shaw is now about to propose a design for the con struction of a gun carriage upon a somewhat similar method for sea service in ironclad and cupola ships, so as to afford greater protection to the gunners during a naval engagement. This system, if successful, will obviate the necessity of run ning the guns outside the portholes, which will be reduced considerably in sizs. The Primrose-hill Garibaldi Meeting, A special meeting of the Working Men's Garibaldi Com. mittee was held last night at the Whittington Club, Strand, Mr. Nieass in the chair. There was a large attendance of delegates. Messrs. Beales and Nicholay were also present as a deputation from the City committee. The secretary reported that the sub-committee had made their arrangements for holding the adjourned meeting on Primrose-hill on Saturday evening next. Mr. Beales had consented again to take the chair, and several influential members of the City committee and members of Parliament were expected to be present. There was every reason for believing that the meeting would not on this occasion be in any way interfered with by the police, but at all events the committee were resolved on maintaining the right of the people peaceably to meet in the parks, if they thought proper, to discuss their grievances. He had been in communication with Mr. Cowper, Her Majesty's Commissioner of Public Works, during the last few days upon the point; among other matters he had asked him whether he would give a clear and distinct reply to the following questions:—First, whe ther he, as First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, claimed the right or power of preventing, with the aid of the police, the holding of a meeting by the people on Prim rose-hill, or in any of the parks, for legal and constitutional objects ? Secondly, if he claimed such right and power, then upon what grounds, under what act of Parliament, or by what construction of law ho claimed that right and power, either on the part of himself or the Commissioner of Police. He had also asked Mr Cowper to receive a deputation to dis cuss the question. Mr Cowper, however, had declined to answer those questions, or to receive the deputation, saying in reply. " That ho could not admit that it would be proper or expedient for him to enter into discussion with any de putation upon the legal questions put to him." The com mittee had now carried the matter to this point, and it would be for the meeting on Saturday to decide what fur ther steps should be taken. Mr BELLES said that he considered the way in which Sir G. Grey and Mr Cowper had evaded a direct answer to a direct question tantamount to an acknowledgment that they were not justified in law in exercising the right and power they claimed, and he should consider the meeting on Satur day next bound to assume as much. The matter could not, however, rest in this unsatisfactory state, and the metropo litan members must be asked to bring the question formally before Parliament, and compel both Sir G. Wrey and Mr Cowper to justify the right they claimed, or give it up. He for one would not rest satisfied until the question was settled beyond a doubt. The police, by their unjustifiable conduct at the former meeting, had raised the question, and it was now in the hands of the people to have it settled. The com mittee he was addressing had received praise from all par ties for the dignified way in which they had acted under the gross provocation they had received, and he felt the matter might safely be left in their hands. Mr NICHOLAT supported the view taken by Mr Beales, mad should feel it his duty to attend and take part in the meeting on Saturday. It was then resolved that the resolutions respecting the forced departure of Garibaldi on the plea of ill-health, but in reality to serve the political purposes of the Government, as proved by documents in the possession of the committee, and demanding from the Government a full explanation of the intrigue, intended to be moved at the suppressed meeting on the 23d ult., should be submitted to the forthcoming meeting for adoption, subject to such alteration as the new facts which had come before the committee should warrant. it, was also resolved that the following resolution should be moved on the conduct of the police :--" That this meeting declares the gonduct of the police in interfering with a peaceable and ordCrly public meeting on the 23d of April last to have been who; .'y unjustifiable, illegal, and unconsti tutional, and deserving of the serious attention of all mem bers of Parliament interested in the preservation and pro tection of popular rights." The Finance Committee then brought up a report of the receipts and expenses incurred by this committee as their share of the demonstration on the entry of Garibaldi into London, from which it appeared that £5l had been received, and £5O 19s expended. The subscriptions received since that account had been made up, and all future subscriptions, would go towards the testimonial fund, and be paid through thi s committee to the City Committee. The SECRETARY stated that the testimonial fund being raised by the City and Workrag Men's Committee was the only fund recognised by Garibaldi. It was stated by the intimate friends of G, , ribaldt that he would not accept the annu ity proposed by the Stafford-house Committee, fearing his independence would be thereby compromised. Some routine business having been transacted, the committee adjourned, to meet at Primrose-hill on Saturday next.
