TEMPORARY OFFICES. 1, New Broad-street -court, E.C. It is well known that house property in London, whether :freehold or leasehold judiciously purchased and managed 'with experience, is to the large proprietor a most remunera tive investment. The objects of this Company are to purchase, from time to time, such freehold or leasehold property in London and its neighbourhood, as may offer facilities for adaptation to first class houses, offices, and chambers, or which may otherwise present special capabilities for improvement. A Shareholder of moderate means may thu ; participate in the 'ownership of such proper y, and enjoy the advantages of .a high rate of interest, combined with complete security for Ifs investment. By the Articles of Association power is given to the Direc tors to pay interest half-yearly at 5 per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital of the t ompany, without reference to the clivi.dends to be declared on such capital. The first step of the Company wili be the purchase and ....,.' de velore.nent of some - first-class freehold properties at the eat-f_ind, for securing which most advanta2,eous agreements have l oeen entered into, the vendors showing their faith in the T andertaking by agreeing to take a portion of the pur- CIIP.se-moneyin partly paid-up Shares of the Company. These properties present, in situation and in the noble 'character of the buildings partially erected, remarkable ele "rnents of success. It is estimates that an ontlay of £40,000 has already been made upon them, all which, together with the whole of the valuable freehold sites, has been secured by the Company for less than the outlay which Jim been made in buildings alone. Front careful surveys it is calculated that a farther outlay of X.2.'0,0,0 will fully complete and fit up all the buildings, either as several first-class houses or as residental and official chambers, and the rental to be derived therefrom has been estimated by experienced valuers to produce a sufficient lowa to ensure interest and dividend amounting to 15 per cent. and upwards (arising from property ever increasing in 'value), after making ample deduction for repairs, out-goings, :and management ; and when these properties are completed and occupied, it is calculated they may be resold at a profit of 50 per cent. to the Company. An advantageous negotiation has also been concluded for the acquisition of r very eligible Freehold and Leasehold Estate of considerable magnitude, which will produce a large Income from horises of the most improving description. Arrang - ,emen!cs have been made with a respectable and ex- Terienced firm for the agency of.th e properties belonging to the Comp .ny. As a proof of their confidence in its success these gentlemen have agreed to forego all remuneration tor their services until the shareholders shall receive a dividend of 10 percent.

A heavy storm has delayed operati ons i n Vi rg inia for a day or two past, but the news of a great battle is daily expected. All reliable information thus far received concerning General Lee's move ments indicates that he will not fall back to wards Richmond, but will offer battle on the Rapidan, or possibly assume the offensive. His troops are being concentrated at Orange Court house. A considerable rebel force is at Fredericks burg, throwing up earthworks on the heights. One division of Longstreet's army is said to be at Honour Court-house in reserve. All accounts agree in admitting the recent heavy reinforcements re ceived by General Lee. His army is believed to number at least one hundred thousand men. He is said to have twenty-two thousand effective cavalry. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. N 0....

The success attPROSPECTUS. ained by the Credit Mobilier f Paris has recently led to the establishment of somewhat similar inati. tutions in London, their introduction meeting with marked success, es is evidenced by the large dividends paid to their sharehoaders,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 prirciples to the Credit Mobilier of Paris, but em bracing Pa 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. Statistics of shipbuilding on the Clyde alone, during the Y4ar 1863, show that 171 vessels, with an aggregate ton leage 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; brit 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 ,035,082 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 cne 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 bankers (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 in shares of the company. Arrangements have also been made for the transfer, upon equally favour able terms, of the business of N. Monteaux et Fils, Palais Royal, Paris, bullion and exchange bankers, long known as the oldest and most extensive establishment of the kind in Prance, 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 enter 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 mil or on deposit for fixed terms, and the ordinary business of bankers. 2. To grant tetaptzary cr permanent loans on approved public securities or private undertakings of nndoubted 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 securiti es w h ere 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 connexions, 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 East via Marseilles, which can be done at a considerable saving of expense and i me. G. 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.

President lincoln on Slavery and Email cipation, The American papers publish the following:— Executive Mansion, Washington, April 4. A, G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky. My dear Sir,—You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said, the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows :—I am naturally anti. slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unre stricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and de fend the constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it my view that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood that, in ordinary civil administration, this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary, abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to this day, I hive done no official ac; in mere deference to my ab stract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did under stand, however, that my oath to preserve the con stitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving by every indispensable means that Government—that nation, of which that con stitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the constitution ? By general law, life and limb must be protected ; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I feel that measures otherwise unconstitutional might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the constitution. Right or wrong, I aasumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the constitution, if to save slavery or any minor matter. I should permit the wreck of government, country, and constitution altogether. When early in the war General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity, When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secre tary at War, suggesting the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an in dispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable ncceseity bed come. When in March and May, and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favour compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation; and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that mcasure. They declined the proposition, and I war, in my best judgment, driven to the alier native of either surrendering the Union, and with it the constitution, or of layloF, strong hand upon the coloured element. I chose the latter. In choos ing it I hoped for greater gain than loss ; but of this I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it i n our foreign rela tions ; none in our home popula r sentiment; none or . in our white military force — no l ess b y it anyhow anywhere. On the contrary , it shows a gain et quite 130,000 soldiers, seamen and labourer& Thesee are palpable facts, about wh ich, as facts, there can b e„ The great banking-house of Coutts and Co. arose under circumstances not less striking than those connected with tha history of Jones, Loyd, and Ca. The father of Mr. Coutts was a merchant at Edin burgh who had four sons, the two youngest of whom, James and Thomas, were brought up in the paternal - counting-hoeme. James, at the. age of twenty-five, came to London, and first settled in St. Mary Axe as a Scotch merchant, from which business, however, he subsequently retired to be come a banker. He took a house in the Strand, the same in which the firm still exists; and he was joined here, some years after, by his brother Thomas as a partner—the business being carried on under the name of James and Thomas Coutts. James Con tts died early, and Thomas was then left sole pro prietor of the bank. His high integrity, joined to a very enterprising spirit, soon gained him many friends, and made him remarkably successful in his business. A characteristic instance both of his shrewdness and enterprise is given by Mr. Lawson, in his" History of Banking." In the early part of his career Mr. Coutts, anxious to secure the sordid]. co operation of the heads of the various banking houses in London, was in the habit of frequently inviting them to dinner. On one of these occasions the manager of a City bank, in retailing the news of the day, accidentally remarked that a certain nobleman had applied to his firm for the loan of £30,000 and had been refused. Mr. Coutts listened and said nothing; but the moment his guests had retired, about ten o'clock in the evening, he started off to the house of the nobleman mentioned and requested the honour of an interview with his lord ship the next day. On the following morning the nobleman called at the bank. Mr. Coutts received him with the greatest politeness, and, taking 30 one-thousand pound notes from a drawer, presented them to his lordship. The latter, very agreeably surprised, exclaimed—" But what security am I to give you ?" " I shall be satisfied with your lord ship's note of hand," was the reply. The I 0 U was instantly given, with the remark, "I find I shall only require for the present £lO,OOO ; I therefore return you £20,000, with which you will be pleased to open an account in my name." The generous —or, as it may more truly be called, exceedingly well calculated—act of Mr. Coutts was not lost upon the nobleman, who, in addition to paying is within a few months £200,000 to his ac count, the prod ice of Cie sale of au estate, reco:r.- ment!ed several high personages to patronise the bank in the Strand. Among the new clients who did so patronise it WIF3 King George 111. Mr. Coutts had not only many friends but real admirers among thy nobility, and wtfs an object of attraction to not a few designing matrons, who would have been but teo happy to marry their nobs but portionless daughter to the rich b:lnlzer. These aristocratic matrimonial specula tions were somewhat rudely dispelled by the choice which Mr.:Coutts made of a wife, in the person of Elizabeth Starkey, a domestic in his brother's service. The union was productive, it is said, of great happiness to the banker; and, though children of a servant, his three daughters married three noble men—namely, the Marquis of Bute, the Earl of Guildford, and the celebrated Sir Francis Bur dett. After the death of his first wife Mr. Coatts gave his hand to Miss Mellon, an actress. On this second marriage, both Mr. and Mrs. Coutts were made the constant subjects of unworthy ridicule, which, however, had no other effect than that of strengthening the confidence of the husband in his wife. This confidence was displayed in a remarkable Learner in the last will and testament of Mr. Coutts. By this:will he left the whole of his for tune,amounting to above £900,000, to his widow, for her sole use and benefit, and at her absolute disposal without the deduction of a single legacy to any person. Mrs Coutts subsequently married the Duke of St. Albans ; but under her marriage settlement wisely reserved to herself the whole control of the immense fortune left to her by her first husband. On her death she bequeathed the vast property to the favourite grand-daughter of Mr Coutts, Miss Angela Burdett—the estimable and beneficent lady, founder of so many churches and schools, who is now well known as Miss Angela Burdett Coutts. Miss A. B. Coutts continues to be the principal proprietor of the old bank in the Strand, the busie ness being conducted for her by trustees, under the old style of Coutts and Co.—Railway News. THE POLISH INSURRECTION.—CoIoneI Raczkow ski, one of the most idefatigable chiefs of the Polish insurrection, who quitted Paris in February. 1863, to take part in the events then taking place in Poland, and who remained there after that period, and was present at various actions fought with the Russians, has arrived in Paris. He is, perhaps, the only one of the insurrectionary chiefs who exposed his life so many hundred times without ever having been wounded. Colonel Raczkowski is an old officer of the Prussian army. He subsequently served in the Brazilian army with the rank of captain. He had just arrived in Paris from the Brazils when the Polish insur rection broke out, and he hastened to assist his countrymen in throwing off the Muscovite yoke. General Bossah, who fuught so long and so successfully in the palatinates of San domir and of Cracow, has joined his family at Geneva. It appears from the information received from various sources that the insurrection in Poland has been completely sup pressed. DEATH OP MR.
