ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing Cocoa-Nut F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent granted to George Davies, dated the 24th April. 1862. The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the improved ability the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving, great dury is given to the fabric at e a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of articles ma nufactured by this process over the present method will be well understo , d in the trade when it is stated that matti n g of all descriptions, and car riage and door mats, ac., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surf ace hitherto unattained. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full.

Thi s was prec i se l y one of th ose cases angem in en whichts, British paid m spirit, when ap pealed t o , acts irresistibly asl in surmounting difficul ties. The arrangement s , arkerswreconcerned, had utterly broken down ; any one volunteering in their I p ace must have felt that he was entering on a service of proved danger, the efficacy of the safeguards most recently devised having still to b© established. Yet, in ten minutes after the case had been fairly put before the assem bly the difficulty was removed as completely as if 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 /raid 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 Ulan in each butt, and with regularity enforced at the other end of the range, he 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; ar.d 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 one 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 he Council, voluntarily assumed analogous func ens, and slaved for hours at marker's duty into the THE NAVY. Major-Gen. Lord W. Paula, C. 8., and Vice-Ad miral Sir Michael Seymour, GX.B., the military and naval commanders.in-chief at Portsincutir, pro - . ceeded to Osborne in the Fire Queen steam yacht yesterday, returning again to Portsmouth in the Fire Queen at the conclusion of their visit to Ler Majesty. Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B , is sued cards of invitation to a dinner at the Admiralty house, Portsmouth Dockyard, last evening, to meet Capt. Luce anti the officers of the United States training frigate Macedonian, prior to the frigate leaving Spithead. She is expected to E2il this morning for Cherbourg, Brest, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, and finally for the United States about the com mencement of October. The Warrior, iron frigate, Cipt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, at 5.30 p.m., and joined the Channel fleet at Spithead anchorage. Signal was made yesterday to the Channel fleet to prepare to leave Spit head this morning for the Downs and the North Sea. The whole of the ships bave been provisioned and coaled for their cruise, and it is a very creditable fact that from the time of the demand being made on the Royal. Clarence yard for the fleet's provisions and medical comforts, in 12 hours all the supplies were alongside the re spective ships. 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 oya manifestedsovereSovereign n by the officials to complete the Royal Portsmouth by-then - 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 sa f e l y be stated that the ship will not be complete, armed, stored, and ready for active service before the end of November or the beginning of December. On Tuesday George Hinckley, quarter-master of her Majesty's sloop Sphynx, at Plymouth, was pre sented by Port Admiral Sir H. Stewart, on Mount Wise, 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 Fuogwha, in China, where, under a heavy fire, ha succeeded in rescuing two wounded 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 de 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. bargain.

A doctor was sent for, but he never rallied, and died on the following Tuesday. Dr. P. R. Tomlinson said there were open wounds on deceased's head, resulting fro m blows. Fram the appearance presented he was of opinion that something hard was in the hand when the blow was inflicted. The p ost mortem exami showed death to have resulted from abscess on the brain from the blows.

The Dir ctorP 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 the business of Life Assurance on the 15th July next, on which day a comp ete prospectus, detailing the plan of the Company's iipeiations, and containing tables of rates, will be issued to the public. Arrangements also have already been absolutely made by which a large businesq 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 rec,nstrnc 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 be t condition to fulfil Its future engage ments. The plan in question will be well adapted to the wants of the People, aflordimf 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 cJnstituted. 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 limitei to the amount unpaid on their shares. '1 he 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 r..tard to economy. Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained from, and applications for the remaining shar' s, and for Agencies. may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before mentioned.

ANSCOMBE V. BONISSON.-LIFE IN THE KITCHEN. This was an action for assault. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Henry James and Mr. Matthews were coun sel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Murphy for the de fendant. The plaintiff, Matilda Anscomh, was a young woman who formerly held the position of head kit chen maid at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington, and the defendant, Alnaud Bonisson, the chief cook at the same establishment. Mr. Henry James, in his opening statement, said that the defendant, who engaged 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 time, she urged him to fulfil his promise, when, to her astonishment, she found that he had married another person. Having been thus betrayed she insisted 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 opinion 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 Great Western Hotel. Afterwards they became engaged to be married, and the defendant then seduced her, In August last she first discovered that ho 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 face. He then thres% 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 pa 3 £2OO for it. On the 29th 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 h e 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 dotter about the blow I received on the forehead, but I was con fined to bed three or four days. I was engaged to be married to Hardy, 'out 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 you must take the consequence of her having a child." Thomas Johnson, 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 t h e Great Western Hotel he had been in the service of the Duke of Sutherland end the Marquis of Londonderry. Cross-examined—lt is true that I was intimate with the plaintiff, but I cannot say when was the laet time. I never promised her marriage. I was married at St. George's, Hanover-square. No (me from the hotel 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 newsp a pers, nor send round any car d s . (L a ughter.) We had no marriage breakfast at the hotel, but we breakfasted at my lodgings in Portchester-place. I did not ill use the plaintif 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 he aimed it at the plaintiff. John Parkes, wh o w a s employed at th e roast , gave similar testi mony. 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 evidnnce 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. COURT OF DIVORCE.

Spilka and Mr. Searle) addressed the court on behalf of the rule nisi fo r a new t r i a l which had been obtained for Mrs. St one . Th e l earned 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 side. The court took time to consider, and intimated that they would not be able to give their judgment till after the circuit. WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BREMNER V. BREMNER AND BRETT. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the pe titioner ; Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., and Mr. Harrison for the respondent. This case was partly heard on Saturday last; and to-day Elizabeth Pye, the sister of the respondent, was called to prove an allegation of cruelty. An other witness, since married, admitted that Bremner had had an improper intimacy with her. She said that she was not a prostitute, but that she had a iew friends who used to visit her. Some other women gave evidence of a similar character. The case was again adjourned. [ ADVERTI SEMENT.] — HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.-- The proofs of cures of the most virulent maladies and chronic ulcers speak louder than any words to the merits of these incomparable remedies. A grateful patient writes from Kingstown, under date June 21, 1863, ' I am happy to bear my testimony to the wonderful powers of your ment and pills in curing me of the moot distressing ° l 3 ,,il_e_s and lumbago after every other means had failed a n ' 3 : l ; any statement be more to the point, any lang u lfying ? striking or convincing, or any result more What a load of suffering and anxiety was in 1 curatives. away by the proper application of these n to Rol- Swelled otbhieffease rolled Swelled ancles and other ailments readily one lowars medicaments. 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, as there was something remarkable both in the mode of communicating this decision and in the spirit with which the announcement 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 Commander-in-Chief, who heard all that the Council had to suggest in the way of additional precautions, and finally declared that, if next morning, on viewing the alterations which were proposed, Gen. Hay 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, Captain Drake, RE., 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 eveninge before to give a reading of " Mr. Bob Sawyer's Party" in the Clubroom, at 9 o'clock. If thie 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 could 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 Steele's arrival, the marking at those ranges where the greatest pressure was telt 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 aim 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 excluded 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 might 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 np 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. "CHARLES HAY, Major-General. "Thos. 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 might select had a right to expect that one or other would be chosen. The sanctioning, for a single day, of a system of mark ing which at the same time they condemned was not only inconsistent, but mischievous, as regards the conditions of the contest. General Hay and Colonel Steele said, and, no doubt, intended, that in the partial sanction given to the disc system the convenience of the Council should be consulted as much as possible. But the fundamental principle of the competition for the Queen' s p rize beingthat Volunteers shall shoot, as far as possible, on terms of equality, it follows that to continuethe contempla tion system for a whole day w hen it was i r n m gtherest to return to the flag -marking d of the meeting must cre ate the b e t wee n competitors.

Temporary Offices-25, Birchin-lane, E.C. - - This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out upon an extensive scale the business of oil-seed crushing, which has ranked for 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 18i7 from 487,035 quarters, to an annual average, during the last three years, of ,401,6 3 quirters ; 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. The consum. tion of oil-seed cake has advanced in a still gr eater ratio, the import of foreign descriptions having kept pace with the extra supply from our home manufactures, thus establishing the impor ant fact that oil cake is an Article 01 permanent and increasingly extensive demand ; and there is 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 refe , nce to cotton-see 4, which has increased in supply during the last few years more than tenfold; and although an article but recently applied to oil-producing a d fat' ening 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 f-r the pur chase of the Seed-crushing little situated at Dover, in Kent, which have lately been refitted with machinery upon the most approved principles. "he price fixed for these mills is at the valuation of Messrs. Fuller and Horsey (the eminent valuers of this description of grope ty), who in their re ort say :—" We have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that tor Vie purp ses for which the m lls w re erected they are without a rival, both as to the substantial character and ar rangements 01 the buildings, and also ac to the machinery, the whole of wh oh (or nearly so) may be said to h ye been renewed within the last year, slid all the ap fiances that mo dern science and practicw experience have suggested up to the present time for ecinomical working with large results have been introduced in a most perfect manner." The .ituatton of these mills, contiguous to the Harbour of Dover, and havingthe command of two railways, one of which loads at the doors, lsaves 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 ways 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 cost. 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 mills 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 site with confidence a profit 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 within twelve months. The prel minary expenses of the Company will be stric ly confined to the actual outlay. All applications for shares must be accompanied by a dep isit of Ll per share, and a fur ther sum of Li 10s. per share will be requited upon allot ment Should no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full. Prospectuses wbh forms of application may be has at the Bankers and Brokers of the Company, and at the temporary offices. APPLICATION FOR SH A RES.
