TEMPORARY OFFICES. —The Lincolnshire Fire Office, Corelaill, Lincoln. In placing the Prospectus of the MIDLAND COUNTIES INSURANCE COMPANY before the Public, it may be wet first, briefly to glance at the Insurance Companies at present existing 1n those counties. Warwickshire has two the Birming ham Fire and the District Fire. Notinghanastere and Derby shire one—The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire and Life Office; and Lincolnshire one—the Linco'nshire Fire Office. It wet be noticed three of these are Fire Offices only. The two Warwick shire Companies are both of them highly respectable and well established Companies, but limited in their operations to Fire In surances, and doing the bulk of their business in their own localities. The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire has maintained, for many years, a most respectable position ; but it may be fairly asserted, without any intention of underrating the Office, that it does not hold that rank amongst Insurance Camps :let which is ne cessary to render it so profitable to the Shareholders, or extensively useful to the public, as it might be. Leicestershire formerly pos sessed a local Insurance Office, but it was abandoned and sold to the Sun Fire Office some years ago, although parties, web acquainted with the Leicestershire office, have asserted that it only required energy and perseverance to have maintained its ground success fully. Northamptonshire and Rutlandshire never possessed any in surance company of rheir own. The Lincolnshire Fire Office is one of more recent origin, but con nect, d with one of the largest counties in the eingdom. It was established in 185 , is composed of 495 shareholders, resident in Lincoln or Lire Inshire, and although the business of the Company has been almost exclusively confined to the city and county of Lin coln. it has in three years insured nearly Two Ali lions of Property. The whree of the paid up capitel of the Company is entire, and in vested upon securities ; mei out of sanely realised profits during the last three years, all Fire Los es have be , n paid, a 1 manege ment expenses, Five er Cent. each year to the shareholders upon tt e paid up capital, all the charges connected with the fortnati n of the Comp my, and still there is a surplusof nearly I,' 001. as a reserve fund. This, in so limited a sphere of business opera tions, feel in so short a time, shows what mis ht be done upon the same principle, by combinations throughout the whole of the Midlanu Coun ties taking, too, into account, that by such a cembieation the per cent age of working expenses would be considerably reduced, and the amount of local interest brought to bear, lenders success certain. The shares of the Lincolnshire Fire Office have attained a pre mium or cent. per cent upen the paid up capital. The Office was originals , intended to have been a Life, as well es Fire Office ; but it was decided first to try its working as a Fire Office before under eking Life risks. The success of the office has now, however, been so great, that it is determined by the shareholders to undertake Life, and also Had storm Insurances, in addition to the Fi e business, and to extend the business to the whole of the Mid land Counties, with asbody of shareholders in each county. This is proposed to be done by the dissolution or the Lincolnshire Fire office, and the formation of ae entirely new Company, to be called "The Midland Counties Fire and Life and Hall Storm Insurance Com pany." The books, papers, snd business of the Lincolns ire-office to be handed over to the new Company upon the following terms : The shareholdes in the Lincolnshire office to recri e in shares (not in money) 30s. per share premium, as the market value of their interest in tee Company. To raise a fund for this pur pose, so as to keep the Csseital of the new Company untouched, the new Shares are to be allotted at a Pretniiim of 2s. Bd. per e here, esh ch will raise a iund amply stifficien for the purpose. This le Bd. Premium will, of course, nut be charged upon the shares aliotted to the Lincolnshire Fire Office Shareholders in lieu of their present Shares. To ensure a permanent resident Propriettry, the Shares of the MIDLAND COUNTIES are proposed to be divided into sepa rate Stocks for each County, the shares in such several Camay Stocks riot being capable of being held other than by par ties r silent is such several Counties ; and to ensue° a Pro priety having an undivided interest in the pros; erity ofthe C o mpany, Ito person, w hilst holdisg Shame in this Company, is to be allowed to hold eharce in sny other Insurance Company. These restrictions may at first sight appear stringent, but they must and will ultimately tend to promote the interest of the Com pany infini•ely snore than an indiscriminate hording of shares by parties not resident in the Midland district, and possessing such sares merely as an investme n nt; or who, from conflicting interests in other companies, can t ot give an undivided support to the Company of which, as shareholders, they profess, and ought, to be the sup porters. As to the Life Business, the district of the Midland Counties com prises a population of between two and three millions, entirely destitute, except as to the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Office, of any local Life Office, and offering to the Midland Counties Company ample scope for a most profitable business its that department of In surance, and still in so doing to promote is great public benefit, as every well conducted Lite Office undoubtedly is. As to the FIRE BUSINK - S, the district of the Midland Counties Is most lavourable, the experience of all the existing Companies in those counties shows. As to the HAIL eTORA INSURANCE, this has not been added to the Life and Fire business without careful consideration, and upon details obtained from sources which may be relied upon; and the union of these three branches of lneuranse in a district so good as the Midland Counties, combined with careful and energetic ma saagement, may s well tie expected, ere many years pass,to enable the .Midlaud-Conntles Company "to take Ha stand as one of.ther snot In fluential Insurance COMpenies in the According to the arrangement entered into with the Shareholders •of the Lincolnshire Fire Office, they will take 12,000 of the 17,000 :shares forming the Stock of the Midland Counties Company, in Lin. scolnshire, therefore, there will be only 5000 new shares to allot. at she 25. sci. premium, and, although. many of the Lincolnshire Office tehareholders have a claim to tie allowed to increase their amount of shares, yet the Provisional Committee will view with great plea mre arid carefully consider applications for shares from parties of influ estee and standing, who are not at present shareholders in the Liu. , ecilnshire Office. No person can hold more than 300 Shares in the new Company.— Tlie Head Office is proposed to be heldin Lincoln, with local boards at Btseningham, Leicester, Nottngham.

'The Provisional Committee will proceed to allot the shares prisms the the Lneoln stosk, but do nut prop se to allot shares in any of the o her counties until some influential gentlemen connected wrth those connties have applied for shares, and whose advice and direction in local cons eit tees may be rendered avaiiable in the seec tion of proper parties as shareholders, as it is ii t intended to allot the shares at random to any one applying, but oily to such parties as, by thee' posit, ion are likely, not only to advan c e t h e int e rs sts of the Company by their Insurances, but by their association with it to give the public full confidence on the soundness of it foundation. It should also be stated that no deposit will be required upon the allotment of shares, as is general y the case, for all applicants for shares will be held perfectly c.ear of all initividnal liability or ex pense, as when the Company is r ctually and lee Lily f stmed, (which it is sure to he), then the expense of its realisation will be paid out of the funds of the Company. • This is a brief sketch of the proposed Company, bu nt in th e Mfluenti id al agents wills °Try be appointed in every county town i laod district, who will represent the Midland Company tor that county as reeside ifs mull lation, and public meetings will be held in ail th r principal towns in the severe( coon- lea to explain more fully the principle end details of the Company, but it is con idently bell ved that a Cs meetly , termed as this is proposed to he, and com prising probably betty en 2,000. and 3.1100 influential shareho'ders, emu of fail to prove most creditable, and a profitable investment to all connected with it While thus advocating the formation of a new Company it ought not in fairness to i.e forgotten that half a century ago, the enter prise, intelligence , and cap ital of the Metropo is, promoted and formed Insurance Institutions, which have been. for years, and are still amongst the proudest and wealthiest of our National Institutions, and sueplied ior the provinces of the Kingdom, at that time, what they were not then in a pos t on to supply for themselves. Bu this and en terpsise has been amply rewa rded lun g a g o by profits almost be) belief; in many cases unti the pal- -up cripiial has increa-ed to ten and twelve times its original amount, and now by the development of various national improvements, the Provincial Counties are as well able to found these Institutions for themselves, as the Capi talists of he Metre oils were in former years ; and in confirmation of this, reference need only be made to such offices as the Norwich union, the West of England, the Yorkshire, and other local offices. It has, for many years, been admitted that investments in well established Insurance 4 °meanies are the most profitable, permanent, and least hazardous, that are ever offered to the public ; and it is believed Wet many will read this erospectus with deubt and hesita tion, who, in afters ears, will regret tor themselves and their families that they did not throw a small amount of their capital, and the whole of their influence, into the promotion of this Company. Power will be taken by the Deed of Settlement to increm the capital of the Company to two in Mons by the issue of 81,000 fresh shares, upon such terms as the existing shareholders of the Midland Counties company alien determine. This is erovideil for the pur pose of meeting any arrangement which may hereafter he thought advisable for the juncton wi h the Midland Counties Company of any of the Insurance Companies which at present exist in those counties. Printed Prospectuses, and forms of applications for Shares, will be out in a few days, and may be had upon apelication to me at the Lincolnshire Fire Office, Lincoln ; or of any of the agents of that Company ; or of any of the Agents of the Midland Counties Com pany ; who will shortly be appointed in Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS,-(YESTERDAY.) The house re-assembled for the first time since the recess at five o'clock. In reply to Earl HARDWICKE, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said for the first time in this country an ambulance corps for conveying the wounded from the field of battle had been established, and being now completed, a screw-steamer had been chartered to carry it to the East. This vessel, he un derstood, would be ready to leave the country the day after to-morrow. THE WAR MINISTER. The Earl of DERBY said he understood that a new writ would be moved in the other house that evening for the city of London, in the room of the noble lord the leader of that house, who was to be appointed to the office of President of the Council. He wished to know whether the noble lord had formally accepted that office, and also whether the Government would have any ob jection to explain the precise duties and functions of the Minister of War whom it was proposed to appoint. The Earl of ABERDEENAaid his noble friend, Lord John Russell, -had accepted the office of President of the Council, and would continue to remain in the House of Commons. He had further to state that it was intended to separate the functions of the Secretary of the State for the War and the Colonies. This separation would be carried into effect before the next meeting of the house. The functions and powers of the Secretary of War would be the same as those now possessed by the Secretary for the Colonies. What further changes might hereafter take place in the military department he was not now prepared to state. A NOBLE EARL inquired whether the new Minister would have anything or nothing to do with the financial department of the army ? The Earl of ABERDEEN—Nothing whatever as at present determined. Lord PANMURE was glad to find that the Govern ment had at last, owing to the opinion expressed in both houses, and the opinion of the public as conveyed through the press, adopted that course which he thought would eventually turn out to be the only expedient one for the administration of military affairs in this country. The Earl of DERBY must again inquire whether the War Minister would be invested with a power with re gard to the finances and the patronage of the army, and whether it was proposed only to appoint him during a period of war. The Earl of ABERDEEN replied that he would not have such powers, but he would have the entire admi nistration of all other matters relating to the army. That would at least be enough during war ; and as to a time of peace, perhaps the noble earl would be good enough to wait until that event arrived before expecting an answer to his question. If that happy day should ever come, the Government would then be able to make an arrangement with regard to the other duties of the office. (Laughter from the Opposi tion.) He considered that the appointment of the new minister would be of great benefit to the public service. MILITARY ORDER OF ST. GEORGE AND THE GARTER. The Earl of ALBEIIARLE moved for the appoint ment of a select committee to inquire into the adminis tration of the funds of the charities connected with the military order of St. George and the Garter, more espe cially with relation to the early grant of King Edward 111., commonly called the Old Dotation, and that of Elizabeth, commonly called the New Dotation. The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the motion, on the ground that the question involved was one of legal right, which could only be prosecuted in the Court of Chancery. Lord CAMPELL and Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the view taken by the Lord Chancellor ; and after some observations from Earl FITZWILLIAM the motion was withdrawn. _ _ NUISANCES REMOVAL AND DISEASES PRE.

Their lordships adjourned at a quarter after 7 o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SMILER took the. chair at four o'clock.. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords Amendments to the Clyde Navigation Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Caledonian Railway (Lesmahagow Branches, &c.) ; Glas gow Suspension Bridge ; and Great Western Railway (Berks and Hants, &c.) Mr. J. FORSTER , moved that the order for the third reading of the South-Eastern Railway (Lewisham to Bromley, etc.) Bill be discharged, and that the bill be withdrawn. Mr. GEACH complained of this motion as a breach of faith towards the inhabitants of Mid Kent. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR protested against the mo tion, as being adverse to the interests of the South Eastern Company. It should have been left for the shareholders to reject the bill, or otherwise, at the ordinary Wham- cliffe meeting. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to. NEWSPAPER STAMP. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what course the Government meant to adopt in regard to the resolution agreed to by the house on the 16th of May, stating " that in the opinion of the house the laws in reference to the per odical press and newspaper stamp are ill defined and unequally enforced, and that the subject demands the early consideration of Parliament." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to the question, said the state of the law had since the re solution been taken into especial consideration, and was still under the consideration of hic; hon. and learned friend the Attorney-General. Mr. M. GIBSON asked how long the consideration would last, as there had already been many considerations of the question. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must, leave that question to be answered by the Attorney-General. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings, Mr. BRIGHT rose and said—ln consequence of the an swer which the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave to my right hon. colleague, I think I am entitled to put another question to him. The right hon. gentleman said that the last question of my right hon. friend should be addressed to the Attorney. General. Now, ou more than one occasion, the right hon. gentleman has given us to understand that it was not one which oven he himself as Chancellor of the Exchequer could decide, but that it was a matter which demanded the consideration of the whole Cabinet. As the answer which he gave to my right hon. friend did not appear to be satisfactory, I wish to ask him whether he can give us any reason to expect that at an early period some determination will be come to on the subject by the Government? The reason why I press that question is this. At the present moment there are persons connected with the existing stamped press who, believing that the stamp will not last much longer, are making preparations for publishing unstamped newspa pers ; and therefore it is highly important that some de termination should be come to, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should inform the house as soon as that decision has been arrived at. (Heir, hear.) I hope the right hon. gentleman will not scud us to the Attorney- General, who may send us back again to the Treasury, but will at once let us know what is going on, (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I must be excused for expressing my disapproval of a practice which I am afraid is becomirre rather too common, namely, that of hon. gentlemen advancing arguments and state ments whenever they have occasion to address questions to members of the Government. (Hear, hear.) I think it is calculated to lead to great inconvenience, and I should certainly regard it as an abuse of my own privilege if I took this opportunity of discussing the various topics which the honourable member for Manchester has intro duced to the notice of the house. AEl:ear, hear.) I have already stated that this matter has been referred to the Attorney-General ; and I may now add that that course has been adopted because it is a step which it was the ob vious duty of the Government to take upon the resolution of the house. It pleased the house to pass what is called au abstract resolution ; and looking to the terms of that resolution, I do not think that any other step ought to have been taken than that which we have adopted. I think the honourable member for Manchester is right in saying that there are other questions involved upon which we du not expect that the advice of the Attorney-General will preclude further and more deliberate consideration upon the part of the Government and the house ' • but what I say is, that the first step which oug ht to have been taken has been taken, and I must again repeat that I think the Attorney-General is the proper person to state what time he will require for the consideration of the case that has been submitted to him. At the same time, I quite agree with the honourable member for Manches ter, that the question is one which ought not to be post poned beyond the time which is bona fide required for its consideration. (Hear, hear.) There are several points of considerable practical difficulty connected with it ; but I am quite sure that my honourable and learned friend the Attorney-General will not take more time than he finds to be absolutely necessary for the consideration, in is man ner becoming his professional character and official posi tion, of such an important question. (Hear, hear.) STAMP-OFFICE PROSECUTIONS. Mr. LUCAS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was'the intention of the Government to reim burse Mr. Slaw, the proprietor of the Commercial Journal, any portion of the costs of the recent prosecution in the Court of Exchequeriu Ireland, for publishing au uustamped periodical ? The CHANCELLOR of the gXCFIEQUER said a vas arising out of this action had been submitted to the, law officers of the Crown in England. Mr. BRIGHT asked the right hon. gentleman whether he could hold out any expectation that at au early pried some determination could be come to on the subject of the newspaper stamp. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could add nothing to what he had already stated, except that he thought it highly desirable that a speedy determination should be come to on theSUPPLY subject. The house then went into committee on the civil services estimates. The following votes wore agreed to : 2,7001. for the Lord Privy Seal's Establishment. 23,8501. salaries and expenses of the Paymaster-Gronerark dike. ATTRACTIVE NOVELTIES.

SETTLEMENT OF THE DISPUTE. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the directors of the London and. North-Western Railway Company was held in the board-room at Euston station, for the pur pose of considering the recent dispute which has arisen between the locomotive authorities and the engine drivers employed on the southern division of the line. Captain Moorsom, the deputy-chairman, presided, and Captain Huish, the general manager ; Mr. J. E. M'Con nell, locomotive superintendent ; Mr. J. P. Bruyeres, general superintendent, and others of the head officials of the line were present. A deputation from the engine-drivers of Birmingham, Rugby, and Camden stations, appointed by the men, were in attendance, and were received by the directors in the most courteous and friendly manner: Thedrivers entered into a statement of their grievances, and the reason of their hostility to the contract system of working their engines, as a compulsory measure. The main point of complaint was that a demand had been made upon every engine-driver to put down his name in terms of the contract, and that those who did not do so were threatened with dismissal. They also made state ments to show that if the contract system was made compulsory upon them they would be great losers. The directors, having deliberated for a considerable period, ultimately came to the following resolutions :-- "The directors having considered the representations of the engine-drivers, resolved— " That the trial of the contract system by the engine drivers must be entirely optional. " It was proposed, under the expectation that it would work beneficially both to the men and to the company ; and if any constraint on the subject has been exercised, it has been quite contrary to the orders and wishes of the directors. " The directors, therefore, wish the men to be informed that such as prefer it may continue to work on wages as heretofore, while such as prefer working on contract may do so. " With this explanation to the men, the directors have only further to state that on comparison of the scale of wages on the London and North-Western railway with the wages given on other lines, they do not find that there is any fair ground for complaint. (Signed) "C. E. STEWART, Secretary." The drivers were called in, and these resolutions were read and a copy furnished to them. They expressed their perfect satisfaction with the conclusion come to, and, as a proof of the good feeling between the directors and the men, those of them who had come from the other end of the line had their passage -money refunded and free return passes ordered them. A VOICE FROM THE PROVINCES.—WHO OUGHT TO BE MINISTER OF WAR ?—The first Minister of War, the creation of which office may be held as settled, has not yet been appointed ; but if the public voice and ex pectation are to have weight, Lord Palmerston will be the man. Any other appointment, however high the claims of the person from abilities or from his present office, would undoubtedly be received with disfavour. —Scotsman,. [ADVERTISEMENT.] -- ASCOT RACES.
