Bd. for interest paid and due to custo mers on their current and deposit accounts), and making ample provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amount to £151,370 18s. 10d., which, with £992 7s. 4d. brought forward from 31st Docertlber last, leaves for appropriation the sum of £155,363 6a. 2d. The Directors have declared a dividend for the last six months at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 21 per cent. on the paid-up capital, being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, clear of income tax ; and after payment of the above, amounting to £78,000, there will remain a balance of £77,363 68. 2d.

After deducting the dividend and bonua, and £120,000, added to the paid-up capital amounting together to £198,009, there will remain the sum of £67,000 to the credit of the reserved fund, and an unappropriated balance of £363 6s 2d, to be carried forward to a new profit and loss account. The following Directors retire by rotation, under the Provisions of the Deed of Settlement, viz.:— Harry George Gordon, Esq., Samuel Beale, Esq , M.P., and Fleetwood Pellew Wilson, Esq., who, being eligible, offer themselves, and are recommended b y the Court of Directors for re-election.

The Lyons journals furnish us with the following de tails : " The Mouche N 0.4 is one of the fast penny boats built for the service of the Saone. She is like the other four, very high out of the water, and so very narrow that a sudden movement of the rudder, or having too many passengers on board, causes her to roll very violently. At about half-past two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the Mouche, which had come from Perrache, and was on her way to Vaise, with a great number of passengers on board, stopped at the landing place at the Qaai St. Antoine, where she embarked so many others that her deck was completely thronged and her cabins also filled. The passengers consisted of all classes—ladies, children, workmen, &c., all in their holiday clothes. On leaving the landing place the steamer, in order to avoid the different sandbanks near the Pont de Nemours, had to steer a serpentine course and take a number of sharp curves. Daring those move ments she rolled violently, but the passengers for the moment did not pay much attention to the movement. At length, however, a sudden action of the rudder caused her to give so heavy a lurch that the water came in at the scupper-holes. An indescribable scene of confusion then took place. The compact mass of passengers on the deck were pressed with so much force against the hand rail which ran along the side that it suddenly gave way, and fifty persons were precipitated into the fiver in a mass. The captain of the boat went overboard with the rest, The scene which followed was most heartrending. The surface of the water was covered with heads, and arms were seen making desperate efforts to release themselves. The persons who fell in were so compactly thronged together that every one clung to his neighbour in the agony of despair, so that chose who might otherwise have escaped by swimming were prevented from using any exertion in that way. The captain lost his life in that manner, for he was seized hold of by two females, one of whom clung round his neckland the other round his body, and the three sank toge ther. What added to the horror of the scene was that the accident happened at a part of the river where no small boats were kept, and it being Sun- day, few of the boatmen in (Aber parts were engaged in their usual occupations, so that a considerable time elapsed before any assistance came to the spot, Only about ten persons were able to save themselves by swimming; four or five others were restored to animation after being got on shore ; leaving the number of drowned to amount to from 36 to 40. As the bodies were afterwards taken out of the water they were deposited on deck of the Abeille steamer lying alongside the quay. At six in the evening 30 were ranged there. Those theirwbo wereown recognised were afterwards removed to morn, Dieu, homes, and the others were taken to the Hot e l. ing those who were claimed by . d to the Morgue. to await further inquiries. On th t e he f i o r llo fi i . v ie in n l Bwere taken away, and the others carried tcond'uct s.oppin g After the accident, to render assistance, continuedbelonging to her are severely for which the persons . to that the passengers who still person on board states the 31oucheh,eirnentnenardeeo,fa o n being landed. The captain blamed. Various reasons are given for that act. A remained on the steamer were so alarmed that they insisted d g those who tell overboard, the was the only one left to manage c h l a a v m in o g rou b s e l e y n i man Le was about to order to stop her, when one of the passengers seized him by the throat and railed him from his place, and then taking the n st a e t am th e e n helm l. tiller steered the vessel to the nearest landing place. Another account states that the engineman, seeing the quantity of water the vessel had shipped, and which had rushed into the boiler, feared an espied sion, and therefore made all haste to get the other passengers to land in order to prevent a second calamity. The owner of the boat ha's been arrested, and a judicial investigation into the affair will im mediately take place.

This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying on, as a joint-stock enterprise, the well known engineering works of Mr. Henry Grissell, situate in the Eagle Wharf-road, Regent's Cana, London. Mr. Grissell's work+ cover a space of 2i acres of land, and possess a frontage of 70) feet on the Eagle Wharf-road, with nearly the same extent of water frontage. Being situated on the Regent's Canal, they are connected with the Thanes and with all the r .ilways which run into London, and are other wise admirably adapted to the requirements of the business to be conducted therein. They are nuw in lull operation, and the Company will thus at once enter upon an existing and profitable business. It is intended to work, in conjunction with this business, some valuable patents which the Company have arranged to acquire for improvements in an important class at steam agricultural machinery, for which there is a largely increas ing remand at home and abroad, and for the manufacture of which these premises are well adapted. The Regent's Canal Iron Works were established by •Mr. Grissell in the year 1814, and since that time have been most successfully carried on under his imme 'late supervision. For heavy and expensive castings, and for iron bridges, and the like, his works stand unrivalled. He has founded, in connec tion with these works, an extensive continental as well as home connection. Within the last few years many important engineering establishments have been transferred from private hands to form the basis of joint-stock enterprise, and with the most marked success. Amongst these may be named the works of Mr. John Ashbury, now The Ashbury Iron and Waggon Company of Manchester ; the works of Mr. John Barrow, of Staveley, now The Staveley Iron and Coat Company (limited); and those of Mr. John Brown, now known as John Brown and Company, of Sheffield. The shares of all these are at a very large premium. The terms upon which the Directors have engaged to pur chase Mr. Grissell's works, are founded upon a valuation made by Messrs. Fuller and Horsey. and are most satisfac tory. Mr Grissell has agreed to leave in the business a eon derable portion of the purchase money, and for the present to take upon himself the responsibilities of Managing Director. The shareholders will incur no liability beyond the amount of shares allotted to them. Applications for shares must be made upon the annexed form. Each applicant will be re quired to pay into the bankers of the Company per share on the number of shares ar plied for, and upon allotment to make a iurthcr payment of £2 per share on the shares allotted to him. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned In full. Further calls will be made at intervals of not less than two months, and no call will exceed £2 per share. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be ' had of the Solicitors, and at the Offices of the Financial Cor poration (limited), 14, Leadenhall.street, City, E.C. FORA!

When they were despatched My Mary, with Gipsy Girl and Hesper at her gerths on the left, was the first away, but after they had proceeded 100 yards Cranbury came to the front, and, with a slight lead of the favourite and Juliet, made the running to the Stand, where Persuasion got up, but was beaten after a fine race by a short head ; three lengths between the second and third ; Gipsy Girl was fourth, close with whom were Hesper and My Mary.

SIR,—Be pleased to publish the following let :er 13, Berkeley-square, July 12. My Lord,—The delay in answering your letter has been occasioned by Lord Stamford having left London, and be cause we were in expectation of receiving some evidence from Worcester. The denial of the chairman of the Wor cester committee that they countenanced the charge against your lordship has entirely changed our position. Lord Coventry wrote to Admiral Rous on the 3d, stating " That the race committee and the inhabitants of Worcester were disgusted at the disgraceful scene on Friday, which they attributed to the Birmingham roughs, headed by Lord Bate man." This letter Admiral Rous laid before Lord Stamford; and we, not doubting that so grave a charge could be made without indisputable evidence, and that it was an attack upon our characters as stewards and arbitrators of the dis puted race, wrote our letter of the 4th, We imagined that the charge was accredited to your lord ship, because, during the great sensation excited by Ex chequer's defeat, you led back the winning horse, belonging to Mr R. Walker, to the weighing stand amid great uproar and complimentary cheers. We regret having written that letter ; it is not to be justified, and we make every suitable apology. We are, my lord, your obedient servants, H. J. Rous, H, J. R. (FOR STAMFORD AND WARRLNGTON). To the Lord Bateman, &c. Lord Bateman presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs to say that he has received every suit able apology from the Hon. Admiral Rous and the Earl of Stamford and Warrington for the part taken by them in connection with the above, and that their letter of the 4th July to Lord Bateman has been withdrawn. Lord Bateman begs to add that he is perfectly satisfied. 64, Grosvenor-place, July 13. Naval and Military Intelligence, MALTA, July 9.—The movements since the 4th inst. of ships of war in this port stand limited to the departure on the 4th of the Firefly, steam surveying vessel, for the coast of Barbary, to resume her surveying labours in the vicinity of Susa, and the arrival of the Weser, steam gunboat, from Galatz, Salina, Constantinople, and Syra, s to be docked and refitted, after which she will return to the Danube station. The schooner yacht Harlequin, having on board the owner, Col. Hare, and family, sailed from Malta on July 4 for Sicily and Naples. The schooner yacht Gipsy arrived at Malta from the Pit Eens of Athens on July 6, having on board Dr Dawson and Mr Mente. The Ottoman Government steam corvote Kars arrived at Malta from Tripoli on July 8, with despatches and a mail from Constantinople. The Duke of Somerset, K.G., Vice• Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick Grey, K.C.8., Bear-Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., Rear•• Admiral the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., and Mr C. E. Childers, M.P. (Commissioners of the Admiralty), with Capt. Hall, secretary to the First Lord, and Rear _ __ Admiral Robinson, Controller of the Navy, paid a hurried visit on Tuesday afternoon to Woolwich Dockyard. They arrived at 3 o'clock, and devoted an hour only to the inspec tion of the three following ships under fitment and construc tion :—The new ironcased cupola ram Prince Albert, 4,055 tons, about to receive her engines of 1,000 horse power, and an armament of 35 heavy guns; Mr Reed's ironcased cor vette Favourite, 8, preparing for the pennant ; and the Pallas, in course of building in a shed at the southern ex tremity of the yard. They then took their departure, going through the mast and rigging houses, and passing down the pier they went on board a small twin screw steamer, brought down the river on trial, in charge of Capt, Symons R.N., and awaiting their lordships' embarcation, in which they proceeded to the Victoria Docks.

After the inspection the battery was formed in three divisions, and the left division was wheeled up so as to form three sides of a square. Gen. Warde then addressed them. He hoped they would maintain the lofty reputation they had hitherto borne for discipline, soldierly appearance, and general effi ciency, and that whether in the field in front of an enemy, or more peacefully quartered in their cantonments, he should still be able to hear the same honourable character of them. In conclusion, he wished them all a happy and prosperous voyage. The General and Staff then took the load, and followed by the Royal Horse Artillery band and the bugle band of the regiment, under the direction of Mr Smyth, they marched down to the railway station and pro ceeded by special train to Gravesend for einbarcation on board the chartered East Indiaman Middlesex, 1,200 tons, Capt.
