ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. -- This Corporation has been formed for the purpose of uniting the ordinary business ot a Finance Company with that of an Estate Agency—a want not yet supplied by any of the existing C , Jmpanies. The business ot the Corporation will consist of two distinct branches—viz., Financial Transactions and Estate Agency Business, and competent representatives will be appointed in the principal towns. The Financial Department will consist of advancing money on real and personal estate, whether intended for sale or otherwise, and on such other securities as the Directors may approve. The Corporation will act also as agents between mortgagors and mortgagees t and will negotiate subscriptions or loans for British and foreign undertakings, the bona fides of which will be strictly investigated before they are sub mitted to the public. The Estate Agency Department will embrace valuations ; the rurchase and sale of estates, lands, and houses; the management of estates, and the carrying out of drainage and other essential improvements ; also the sales of agricultural produce, farming stock, and every description of properties, by private contract and public auction ; and it is intended to hold periodical sales of freehold and leasehold properties. Several lucrative transactions have already been secured by the Corporation; and although the Directors consider the present nominal capital ample for all immediate purposes, power has been taken to increase the same should it be ultimately deemed desirable. By the Articles of Association (which lie for inspection at the Temporary Offices of the Company), esch Director is required to hold 2JO snares ' • and more than 2,000 shares have already been subscribed for by the Directors and their friends. Prosrectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained from the Bankers and Brokers, or at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.

Both she and Missionary, the latter looking as unprepared as when he ran at Bath, were, however, easily beaten by Ourdeli., a stable companion of the favourite, who came with a rush at the distance, and won cleverly. The Bibury Stakes had only four runners, and Suspicion going to the front a quarter of a mile from home won as she liked. The distance in the 50 Soya Plate (five furlongs) just suited the Gunner, who disposed of his horses with ease, The most interesting race of the day was the Stockbridge Biennial, as it promised to show something of the cream of the Southern stables. The Duke, who has already been introduced into the Derby quotations, came with a private reputation from the Danebury stud. A field of 15 faced the starter for it, but the result we must leave the telegraph to tell. There was but a small attendance compared with other club days we remember. One of the great patrons of the meeting was absent through the serious illness of Sir Wil liamCodrington, say, ruptured a blood vessel l who, we regrettelegram, to however, received on the Course during the afternoon we are ena bl e d to s t a t e st nigt. that the hon. baronet is progressing favourably.

Saturday, July 9, has been named as the day affording the greatest advantages for yachtsmen attend in g the Royal Harwich Yacht Club Regatta on the 13th. The great im;roveraents that have been recently made in this ancient city, in its trade and commerce, have rendered it the station for the great yachting regattas this year, as Walton.on-the-Naze, Lowestoft, and Great Yarmouth regattas take place in close proximity to Harwich Regatta, and bid fair to surpass any of those which have preceded them. Mr James Goodson, chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Company and commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, has signified his intention to the Royal London Yacht Club of subscrib ing to their race. The arrangements are at present in abeyance. 1 lIENLEY ON-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA.

Wallis is to receive the Admiral's good service pension placed at the dis posal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the death of Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshawe, Yesterday a party of mechanics and workmen left Chatham Dockyard for Shoeburyness, for the pur pose of taking to pieces and removing the wreck of the Lord Warden target, the destruction of which was so complete nn the occasion of the recent ex periments with (ho Armstrong and Somerset guns. The target was constructed at Chatham Dockyard, under the superintendence of Mr. Baskcornbe, and was in all respects the most massive of its kind ever completed at that establishment. Considerable progress has been made in the con struction of the Lord Warden, ironclad frigate, building at Chatham, and yesterday the workmen commenced the operation of planking, the work of setting up the frame, with the exception of a small portion of the stern, being now completed. The stem of the Lord Warden projects a considerable distance beyond the vessel, and this portion of the frigate is shaped like the curved portion of a capital S. The projecting part of the bows below the waterline ' will be armed with a sharp, cleaver-like instrument for cutting open any hostile vessel, and sinking her. About 1,000 tons of armour•plating, of 41 and öf inches in thickneas, for covering the exterior of the Lord Warden, have been landed at Chatham Dockyard, the whole having been supplied by Messrs John Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works, Sheffield. The paddlewheel steam sloop Gladiator, 6, Capt. Francis H. Shortt, loft Plymouth Sound on Monday afternoon for the West Coast of Africa. She started with her topgallant-masts housed. Four of her guns were left behind at Devonport, and every other arrangement made for the accommodation of troops. It is calculated that she can new receive 19 officers and 480 rank and file. The troopships Hornet and Atalanta arrived in the Thames on Tuesday, and dropped their anchors off the Custom-house quay, Gravesend, having on board the 74th Highland Regiment. Yesterday morning the troops commenced disembarking, con sisting of one field officer, 20 officers, and 543 non commissioned officers and privates, with 31 women and 62 children. Major-General H. Eyre, with Col. C. S. Gordon, his aide-de-camp, and Capt. W. Congreve, Brigade Major, from Chatham garrison, superintended the disembarkation. The regiment embarked at Madras on the 7th of March last, after a service of upwards of ten years. During the whole of its service in India its conduct has been most exemplary.

THE GUILDHALL, Yesterday the first stone of a new roof for this ancient civic edifice, which dates back upwards of four centuries and a half, was laid with some ceremony, in the presence of a large gathering of the principal members of the Corporation. The old roof which was nearly 200 years old, having been erected shortly after the firs of London in the place of the original one that was destroyed in the conflagration, had becomo very dilapidated and unsightly, and its removal had been long pressed on the Common Council, chiefly by Mr. Deputy Lott, as well as a work of necessity as in consideration that it was not at all in harmony with the structure itself, and was, therefore, offen sive to architectural and arcbssalogical taste. For some time past the subject has been under the con sideration of a committee of the Corporation, with Mr. lielday at its head, and on the report and re commendation of that committee the Common Council resolved recently to expend about £24,000 in the entire reconstruction of the roof, in denuding the building itself of a thick coating of cement with which it is generally covered, and which conceals much of its original ornamentation, and in restoring some of the foundations. The removal of the old roof has been for some time in progress, and it is said the new one will be so far completed by the 9th of November next as to admit of the usual civic festival being held in the hall on that day. It will be an open oak roof, somewhat resembling that of Westminster Hall in the interior, and will exactly correspond with the period in which the hall itself was built, and indeed with the original roof itself, as far as the style and character of that can now be ascertained after the lapse of mare than 450 years. Externally it will have a very high pitch, with a louvre in the centre, the lower part of which will be a lantern of the size of an ordinary sitting room for purposes of light and ventilation, and the upper portion of a tapering metal spire about 150 feet from the ground, and which will be seen all over London. There will also be eight dormers or sky lights on each side of the roof to give light to its interior. The design is a joint production by Mr. H. Jones, the city architect, Mr. D. Wyatt, and Mr. E. Roberts, and the work is being executed by Messrs. Ayres tinder a contract with the Corpora tion.

The Guildhall, he said, was begun to be built in the year 1411, in the reign of Henry IV., and the time of Sir Thomas Knollys, then the chief citizen. It was 20 years in building, and was first used for a Lord Mayor's banquet in 1501, in the mayoralty of Sir John Shaw. The roof was destroyed by the great fire of 1666, a nd afterwards repaired and restored under the direction, it was supposed, by Sir Christopher Wren in 1662. That roof, as being out of keeping with the edifice itself and wilh the roofs in vogue at the period of its erection, had provoked the unfaxour-- able criticism of men of taste for the last 150 years and more, and the covering at length having fallen into decay the Corporation had resolved to avail themselves of the opportunity to restore it after its pristine style, and so wipe out the reproach which attached to them in connexion with the old roof. In a cavity of the bed of the stone yesterday a bottle containing a number of coins, with photo. graphs of the whole of the members of the Improve ment Committee, was put, and that done, the stone was then lowered into its place by Mr. Myers, the contractor, and the Rev. Mr. Simpson having asked a blessing on the work of which it was the begin ning, the ceremony was brought to a clone. The Alabama and the Kearsage, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR--I send herewith a copy of the efficial re• port of Capt. Sammes of Lis 111 - e engagement with the United Slates' ship Kearasge, which you may, perhaps, think worthy a place in your columns. I avail myself of the occasion to note one or two inaccuracies in the letter of your correspondent, dated at Southampton on Monday, and published in he Sun of Tuesday. The crew of the Alabama is there stated at 150 men; she had, in fact, but 120, all told. Again, as to her armament ; that of the Kearsage may be correctly given by your correspondent. I do not know what it was. The Alabama had one 7-inch Blakely rifled gun, one 8-inch smooth-bore pivot gun, and six 32-pounders smooth-bore, in broadside. I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, I. M. MASON. 24, Upper Seymour-street, June 22. "Southampton, Jane 21, 1864. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in accordance with my intention, as previously an nounced to you, I steamed out of the harbour of Cherbourg between 9 and 10 o'clock on the morn ing of the 19th of June for the purpose of engaging the enemy's steamer Kearage, which had been lying off and on the port for several days previously. After clearing the harbour we descried the enemy, with his head off shore, at a distance of about seven miles. We were three-quarters of an hour in coming up with him. I had previously pivoted. my guns to starboard, and made all my prepaa rations for engaging the enemy on that side, When within about a mile and a quarter of the enemy he suddenly wheeled, and bringing his head in shore, presented his starboard battery to me. By this time we were distant about one mile from each other, when I opened on him with solid shot, to which he replied in a few minutes, and the engagement became active on both sides. " The enemy now pressed his ship under a fall head of steam, and to prevent oar passing each other too speedily, and to keep our respective broadsides bearing, it became necessary to fight in a circle, the two ships steaming around a common centre, and preserving a distance from each other of from a quarter to half a mile. When we got within good shell range we opened upon him with shell. Some 10 or 15 minutes after the commencement of the action our spanker gaff was shot away, and our ensign came down by the run. This was imme diately replaced by another at the mizenmasthead. The firing now became very hot, and the enemy's shot and shell soon began to tell upon our hull, knocking down, killing, and disabling a number of men in different parts of the ship. " Perceiving that our shell, though apparently exploding against the enemy's sides, were doing him but little damage, I returned to solid shot firing, and from this time onward attended [alter nated ?] with shot and shell. " After the lapse of about one hour and ten minutes our ship was ascertained to be in a sinking condition, the enemy's shell having exploded in our sides and between decks, opening large apertures, through which the water rushed with great ma pid.ity. " For some few minutes I had hopes of being able to reach the French coast, for which purpose I gave the ship all steam, and set such of the fore and aft sails as were available. The ship filled so ra pidly, however, that before we had made much progress the fires were extinguished in the furnaces, and we were evidently on the point of sinking. I now hauled down my coiours, to prevent the fur ther destruction of life, and despatched a boat to inform the enemy of our condition. " Although we were now but 400 yards from each. other, the enemy fired upon me five times after my colours had been struck. It is charitable tc suppose that a ship of war of a Christian nation could not have done this intentionally. "We now turned all our exertions towards saving the wounded and such of the boys of the ship who were unable to swim. These were despatched in my quarter boats, the only boats remaining to me—the waist boats having been torn to pieces. " Some 20 minutes after my furnace fires hod been extinguished, and the ship being on the point of settling, every man, in obedience to a previous order which had been given the crew, jumped over• board and endeavoured to save himself. " There was no appearance of any boat coming to me from the enemy after my ship went down. For tunately, however, the steam yacht Deerhound, owned by a gentleman of Lancashire, England, Mr John Lancaster, who was himself on board, steamed up in the midst of my drowning men and rescued a number of both officers and men from the water. I was fortunate enough myself thus to escape to the shelter of the neutral flag, together with about 40 others, all told. 4 , About this time the Kearsage sent one, end then tardily another boat. "Accompanying Sou will fi n d lists of the killed and wounded, an d o f those who were p i c k e d up b y the Deerhou n d ; t h e remainder, t h ere i s reason to hope, were p ic k e d up by the enemy and by a couple of French pilot boats, which were also for tunately near the scene of action. "At the end of the engagement it was discovered by those of our officers who went alongside the enemy's ship with the wounded that her midship section on both sides was thoroughly iron coated; this having been done with chain constructed for the purpose, placed perpendicularly from the rail to the water's edge, the whole covered over by a thin outer planking, which gave no indication of the armour beneath. " This planking had been ripped off in every direc tion by our shot and shell, the chain broken and indented in many places, and forced partly into the ship's side. She was most effectually guarded, how ever, in this section from penetration. The enemy was muoh damaged in other parts, but to what extent it is now impossible to tell; it is believed he was badly crippled. " My officers and men behaved steadily and gal lantly, and though they have lost their ship they have not lost honour. 7 41iere all behaved so well it would be invidid ous to particularise, bat I cannot deny myself the pleasure of saying that Mr Kell, my First Lieuten ant, deserves great credit for the fine condition in which the ship went into action with regard to her battery, magazine, and shell.rooms, and that he rendered me great assistance by his coolness and judgment as the fight proceeded. " ['he enemy was h eavier than myself, both in ship, battery, and crew; but I did not know until the action was over that she was also ironclad. " Our total loss in killed and wounded is 30,—t0 wit, 9 killed, 21 wounded. " I have the honour to be, very rekpectfully, your obedient servant, ~ It. SEMMES, C6ptaill."
