EXTRACTS FROM TILE REPORT FOR TIIE YEAR 1862. The Directors of, the Royal Insurance Company are now called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the Meeting of its Shareholders. - FIRE BRANCH. The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the ;lose or the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000. The high comparative position held by the Royal i n the G overnment Returns of Duty is ag , in fully maintamed. The profit of the business Of the year exceeds considerably ' Fl o amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur basses that of any year, with but two exceptions , sinc e the co mmencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on ~account of British and Forei , n Insurances being £ 45,107 10s. ' 4 ., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa rately, 16s. 30d. LIFE BRANCH. The verY gratifying duty now falls pon the Directors to state the sum assured on new policies for the year 1862 exceeds even that of the year 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived 1 1 , - , the almost unexampled amount for a single year of 1 , 01 ,127 on 1,4 believed olicies issued. Until within the last i i ` y r years it is that such a sum acsured as that %latch , 48 Just been announced as the result of one year's business all but unheard of. T his portion of the Company's business has been c arefull y 'Watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the Shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the future to the participating life assurer. tvidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum pr oposed for assurance mounts to £143,281. Various degrees of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined. No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much. if at •!i, exceeding, those which the Royal has declared as inadmis stele in a single year from deterioration of some kind or another. to complete their review, the Directors now advert ' rf ly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more meld than that of any other Company established either in on d )n or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken Mace. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the amount of New Policies already reported make all other cadence needless. The Directors conclude their present Report with the E xpression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent the tounded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni towlc e ehe, epoumbbi:ing distiTruished commercial success to the with a lengtheneeCcareer of usefulness and protection PERCY 31.

STANFORD ROSE, Mayor.—ln a Meeting or Assembly of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Liverymen of the several Companies of the City of London, in Common llall assembled at the Guildhall of the said City, on Tuesday, the 29th day of September, 1863, Resolved unanimously— That this Common Hall take this opportunity of recording their deep impression that the past year has been one of vital importance to the City of London, as well as to the nation in general, by the Marriage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales with the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, and by the imposing and friendly greeting which the Citizens gave to the Royal Pair on the occasion of their Royal Highnesses passing through this ancient City. And that this Common Hall have much pleasure in ex pressing their estimation of the distinguished mark of Royal favour by the presence of the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Wiliam Anderson Rose, Esquire, ,nd the Sheriffs, James Clarke Lawrence, Esquire and Alderman, and Hugh Jones, Esquire, as the Representatives of the Citizens of London at the Marriage of their Royal Highnesses. Anxiously desirous that no circumstance should occur to mark the year with other than pleasurable feelings„this Common Hall deeply deplore that an attempt has been made to deprive the Citizens of one of their most valued privileges by amalgam Aim; their Police with the Metropolitan Force—an unconatitutional and dangerous proceeding. This Common Hall, nevertheless, congratulate their fellow citizens in having had a gentleman as Lord Mayor who has manful) , defended, not merely the constitutional rights of the City, but those of the Kingdom, both in and out of Par- Lordthanks, Par liament, and cannot allow him to retire from a position he h i p a at has tite n o s t a r m eo e has so ably filled without tendering. In the name of them selves and their fellow-citizens, their best and warmest received de thatexp expressing weed of honour which hissing their regret that his conduct so justly merited. Resolved unanimously— - - That the best thanks of the Citizens of London are due, and are tendered, by this Common Ball, to James Clarke Lawrence, Esquire and Alderman, and Ilugh Jones, Esquire, Sheriffs of this City and Sheriff of the County of Middlesex, for the exemplary mannerin which they have discharged the varied and important duties of their office—for the firm and judicious manner in which they have defended the ri g hts and privileges of the Citizens - f,r the munificent aid they have ti afforded to numerous charitable institutions of the City and, County—for their endear curs to I eve the d es tit t; and for theii•liberalritality during their year of office. .

' 04P4GNING IN TENNESSEE. ,The'following 6 is, a letter dated Cam, near Win chesierr,'TenUes.see," Franklin county, N.A., 22d Re giment. Indiaira'Vollinteers, Department of the Cum berland, July °18.:: " My., deareat,, 7a s:se,--Four days since I received your long-looked for letter of the 21st ult., and indeed did it take a heavy load off mymind, for I got not a letter since the 26th ,F4bruary, and none in answer to my sketch of Stone River ( urfreesborough) battle, However, you did write, I see yotar•notes but unfortunately it went astray. I have had hard work. 1 had to learn the manifold duties, details, and business connected with the position ; yet I've overcome them all, and am now nearly au fact with everything con nected with it; application, s ystem, and tact are the three great requirements, and these I employ diligently, having a thorough confidence in myself and my abilities, which an American author whose works I was lately reading'says, Irishmen are apt, too apt, to underrate themselves , ' I have done so, but, judging by the standard around me, I shall never again be so confoundedly silly. You see by my address, as you have before this in the papers; that our army has made a grand movement, sudden and unexpected to us as to the enemy, and in the course of a short time forced strong positions, taking some of them by surprise and superior tactics, passed rapidly where we 'anticipated a siege, viz,, Tullahoma, and now occupy the `rebel capital of this State, after traversing a country for miles 14on miles, wild, barren, mountainous, full of defiles, and such roads as man never saw. Yes, dear —, by the superior skill and generalship of our commander, Gen.'Resecrans, teeny a life has been saved, to, I trust, return and giadden 'the anxious hearts Of those loved ones at home. But to recount :a little of my own regiment's doings. On the 17th tilt, our 'brigade went out on ten days' grand picket, five miles from camp, arta s - buth en 'the Shelbyville pike; on the 23d 'got :orders to march next morning, 5 o'clock, with three days' rations, s &c: Weather really beautiful for weeks previous but rather too hot at times. Next morning up and ready but detained waiting on General Sheridan's and Johnstone's divisions, which marched past; we followed, the former kept straight on towards Shelbyville, but Johnstone's and I•Davis's (ours) filed left, and marched over wretched roads, through plotighed fields; mid tot rents of rain, to Liberty Gap (one of the passes to be forced to go south), where John stone's men surprised the rebels harvesting, pitched into them, and by evening they were fighting hard, our men still awaiting them. We stopped and had dinner while the can nonading, &c., was going on in front, but we never heeded it, nor did it disturb our appetites, for our turn had not yet come—so does war blunt the finer feelings of man I Towards dark we pushed two miles further, and camped, and all was again silent. The rain deluged us out that night. The fol lowing morning we marched through the neck of the gap, two miles, and again halted to draw rations, dry cartridges, &e a and dine. At 2 o'clock moved forward, the roads crowded with troops, artillery waggons, ammunition, and commissary. Sharp, heavy, and fierce fighting going on upon our loft all day, and increasing as evening advanced. We, to gain our old position on the extreme right, laboured up steeps hills crowned with trees in full foliage, and, filling our canteens at a beautiful spring gushing out of the moun tain side, we crested the steep incline, and, concealing our selves behind logs and trees, the hills soon took up the echoes of the spang of the rifles as we shot at one another—we and the Secesh—across a deep valley, from one high summit to another—we putting double charges of powder in our long range Enfolds to throw and hit further and harder. Mind, 'tis regulation contract powder we use I You'd scarcely credit it, but so it was, while we kept up a running fire of skirmishing with the rebels, so did we and they a running fire of fun mad with what is denominated chaff. Go home, you Yank ; you're no account. You shoot a mile too high.' Curse you, Secesh, give me a fair show, and I'll bring you,' Of course, I will, if you do the same ;eh I Yank, honour mind I" On honour, I will, old fellow.' 'All right, then, Yank, here you are l' Secesh shows himself a little from behind a tree, when spang, spang, go half a dozen rifles; bnt ' reb' is too fast--dodges back. `Missed, you fools, youl now give me a show;' and so on; but 'twas next day all the fun was. We having orders to hold the position did so, but did not push on ; which 'twould be sheer madness to do so, as we would have no way of pro tecting ourselves, there being no trees on the steep incline. There wo remained cautiously watching one another, and when the puff of smoke showed where a rifle was fired our bullets flew in and round them thick and heavy. The sun sets, dusk, and then darkness, and shouldering our rifles we hunt our regiment up, and not being permitted to light fires, we rolled in blankets supperless, and there being no rain slept soundly till reveille. Morning bright and watery, sun hot, close, and very sultry; marched a mile or so; there was sharp musketry firing, heavy cannonading, which, with the crash of bursting shells, resounded and rebounded in deep hollow echoings from hill to hill, which added to the grand and solemn sublimity of the beautiful scenery around, and caused feelings to permeate through your bosom inde scribable— so awful, so awe-inspiring, God help us all! but a battle scene is terrible, horribly beautiful in its excitings, I of charges made and repulsed, the wavering lines, the re charge,cheers—maddening, furious,tho tearing and bursting of grape:and shells through living masses, and the pursuit and horrible carnage, where all is forgotten in the ono sole thought of revenge and slaughter. Our time has come ; we pass several regiments camped who have had their two days' bloody work performed. That little yellow flag over the tents yonder show you where the wounded lie ; that detail of men with picks and spades bespeak the solemn duty of the burial of the dead ; the saddened faces of those groups of men tell of friends and :comrades lost, but all is soen forgotten in the stern duty that is now before you. Men, fill your canteens (if wounded) thirst is agonising, and, mind, any man found straggling from his company without suffi cient reason shall be shot down,' Such were our orders, and proper too. We filed again to the right, again up steep, high hills, the men smothering under knapsacks, dog-tents, bla nkets, and our three days' rations; but soon these were thrown away (not rations), save what little mementos of home and dear friends which each one took from his knap sack. At l engt h we reac h ed the top, and, marc hi ng d own by rail or w orm fence (o f w h ich more anon). W e h a lt e d on the hillside, and two companies at a time were thrown out as skirmishers (two hours at a time) ; we hid ourselves as well as we could by an open rail fence from the rebel bullets, which flew over and into our company and companies, C, J, F, and A, our flanking ones that is, when the rebels shot too high at our skirmishers, who were treed below us, while the rebels were thickly concealed in a wood, which topped a very high and steep hill right in front, and partly on our right flank, over us. Thus were wo exposed to what is termed a plunging fire, while 50 or 80 yards further back we'd have be en compara ti ve l y safe. Firing soon b egan pretty sharp, w h en one o f our fellows called, Halloo. ? Lida ?' Yes ;w e k no w y e .' They were the men we fought in every battle we ' ve b een i n, and, strange to say, h ere were we now opposed to one another again. Glad to see you, 22d ; how th e did ye hang together so l ong ?' Go to —; there' s en ough o f us left to whip ye again , you Secesh. Don't hs se your temper , Y a nk , how's Mike Gooding (our Colon e l , taken pr i soner by these same fellows at Perryville ght last October); is he with you yet ?' Yes, he's he ' Tell him to come up and see us ; there are some • this t friends of his who'd like to have him again.' At -aunt crack, crack, go a lot of rifles, which aro quickly answered. Then silence for some tune, save the echoing sip report of the rifle and the distant cannonading, heard now saentson saurney, and and then far away to our right, which creates many surmises as to whose corps or division isfighting off there (then 'nosey' EXI • 111 Secretary , siIiPSS through Roovey's Gap); or the furious bu r st of Was Pa ~;0., Liverpool the noise of the dire coriticr which is still progressing on our immediate left. Their rain, and a partial suspension of hostilities, and more humbug. Got any coffee, Secesch ?' No, don't care about it; ain't used to it now; but have you got the whisky ? 'Nary drop.' Will you poor Yankee devils cease shouting ''or awhile, and let's meet by the trees below (a clump about half-way on the hill, and we'll have a game at cards, 'euchre,' seven up, old sledge. We're at home as anything, the whisky against the coffee.' Wish I could old fellow; I'd like a dram well, but it can't be did; it's against orders.' 'May be Mike Gooding would come and take a hand, eh ?" Can't well go back to ask him.' Then take that, curse you,' and again they open on each other.' As the eternocn wanes into evening their fire slackens, our fellows making it too dangerous for them to show a bit of themselves, as showela of bullets are seen to fly where the least disturbance of branch or urtderbush would indi cate that a foe lay hid there. Three of our men were slightly wounded that day, but =any is the narrow escape several of us have had. I've now in my cartridge box a bullet that missed a man in front, gtazed my second lieutenant's face (he felt the windage), and it struck a flat rock on, which I was reclining talking to him, glanced, hit a large loose rock next my side, and then whirled round like a top. I grabbed it, and having it shall tri and keep it. 'Twas a very narrow escape, but none more then what we've had, though with out the bullet or piece of asell to show for it. The bullet is conical, and has in the hollow part of the base a plug of hard wood, English make; to increase the expansion of the lead to fill up the rifles of the barrel on the explosion of the gunpowder.

We in the rear of the train did not march till 7. Day cleared up, and sun thundering hot, blazing down on us with unmitigated fury, and coming to a beautiful valley through which ran a stream that brought up visions of trout and old times fresh to the me mory we halted, and eating a hasty dinner, sought the shade and slept. About 3 marched gradually, getting into it wild country—the road like a bed of a mountain torrent, up-tending higher and higher, mile after mile. Long halts occurred, the artillery and waggons getting stalled; then up and march a short distance, and another halt—the most wearying, fretful, and annoying thingthat could occur when all were anxious to push through and get over whatever was before us, have supper, and rest. Thus passed the weary ing hours into night. Fortunately, a bright silvery moon shone torth with true southern lustre, and on we pressed, regiment got mixed with regiment, for we had to keep in the woods which skirted the road, till we halted on a high fiat hill, which had been camped on frequently, we could plainly see. Here we rested for half an hour, our pontoon train having got so badly used up from the miserably wretched roads, which train had to be got out of the way to permit artillery and our ammunition train to pass, and we hoped we were to camp for the night. But no, eight miles further, it was now half-past 9 o'clock, and pressing on, passing waggons, everything, we marched with a rapidity you would not believe, and with loud cheers, yelps, crowing of cocks, chuckling of hens, barking of dogs, all mimicked admirably by the men, we and our old friends the 69th Bli nds marched side by side over the bridge at Duck river, near Manchester, at a quarter past 12 o'clock, muddy, filthy, and wet, and waiting for no supper, cut brush to lie on, and with oil-cloths under us and three blankets over us, we soon were fast asleep. Marched 27 miles that day, and in all my marchings never travelled on worse roads, nor ever did I see such an enormous amount of waggons upset, broken, smashed, mules killed, and barrels of sugar, flour, meal, &c., and bread lost. Passing camps where our troops had been, we could got almost anything we wanted, but if we did require them we had no means of bringing them. Next day, the 30th June, had usual monthly muster, made out muster roll, &c., and on the Ist of July we marched, suffered much from the hot sun, and 12 miles from the town camped at Tullahoma, where a vast amount of stores were captured by our men. Marched 12 miles next day to the ' Barrens,' a wild mountainous district, and crossing the Elk river next morning we reached here about 2 o'clock, in a wretched plight. For three days our rations had run out—what little we had saved the rain destroyed in our canvas havresacks —crackers went to paste—sugar, coffee, and salt melted away; but potatoes, hogs, chickens, corn-meal, to which all helped themselves when the chance offered, kept life in us. The high water in the river from continuous rain, bridges destroyed, prevented our train from coming up, so five men from each company, in command of a commis sioned officer, were every day detailed to go foraging. But that was a trifle. All hours of the day and night were soldiers passing in and out of camp with havresacks, buckets, and camp kettles, so that by this time potatoes. onions, apples, blackberries, chickens, &c., are getting rare and scarce. Every man round here is rank rebel, and the men say they don't mean to starve while the rebels have plenty they can help themselves to. And, indeed, they are right. Now, however, v e are beginning to get enough of-meat, bacon, beef, sometimes fresh pork, coffee, sugar, and bread; before long we will get the extras, rice, beans, dried peas, and compressed vegetables. Everything we had was lost or destroyed. I have nothing now save the clothes on my back and one blanket ; have to go without while I wash and dry my own shirt. What knapsacks,&c., we sent back to Murfreesborough in charge of some cavalry were all burnt or destroyed, the excuse being that the mules gave out and could not haul them. May be so, but indeed I doubt it very much. I should not be surprised if we re mained here for a long time yet. The engineers have been out surveying the country round, to put up works of de fence, I learn. Nearly all the churches and academies (four or five academies there were here) are being converted into hospitals, frame houses are being pulled down, and largo buildings are being erected out of the old material for com missary and quartermaster's stores, and every preparation is being made to occupy this place as a military post. Ano ther satisfactory feature in the matter is that our General Davis is in command here, so should there be any forward movements, which are yet uncertain, it is possible our di vision will be left here to guard the post. Thank God, everything is looking favourable for the Union cause— Vicksburg fallen, Port Hudson also; Johnstone whipped by Sherman, Meade driving Lee out of Pennsylvania and Maryland with enormous losses-33,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners-91,000 prisoners Union troops took this July, the simultaneous advance of all our armies and at about the same time, and from every direction, the attack on Charleston, South Carolina, the intended assault on M o bile, the revolutionary movements in our favour in North Carolina, and ours and other large armies threaten ing an advance any time that suits us, will give the Southern fellows more than they have men or time to attend to ; and I do pray and trustfully hope that by this day twelve months the South shall be crushed, the arch-traitors who mind this tearful stavggle be dead or banished, never to find a home in any free country, never to see the soil of this land agin, and that law and order may peaceably rule the destinies of this nation. One day's rations of everything amounts to a very great deal ; indeed, a soldier could not consume it. Beef fresh, or ham or shoulder,sugar, coffee, or tea (chiefly the former), potatoes, rice, bread, hominy, grit, dried split peas, beans, compressed vegetables, soap, candles, vinegar, salt, &c. One ration of each of those for, say, 10 days (10 rations) amounts to a very considerable item—in fact, while living in camp for any time even on rations there is enormous waste. A very great deal depends on the cooking. Many of the above articles would bo uneatable unless properly cooked— such as hominy, peas, beans, compressed vegetables, but when you understand how you can make quite an extra dish out of them—good, wholesome, and very palatable. I am not the big, stout, heavy 14-stone fellow I was. Vm moderately slender, square enough in the shoulders, straight, and with flesh and muscle firm as a rock. I wear no beard, but a moustache, which every one says becomes the contour. of my lace wonderfully well. My hair is de-. cidedly more gray than black ; sickness, mental trouble, and hardships and sufferings attendant on the campaigning life we lead have caused the change in me, as in very many young.men here. In truth the saying has become proverbial among, us soldiers that when this war is over there will be more gray young men in this country than ever were knewn. Yet' my health generally continues right good. Lying is camp too long never does; it is not beneficial to health. Men get lazy and unsettled; they lie about too much after meals, although 1 must give the majority of them the credit of doing all they possibly eau to keep themselves and. their clothes clean. the eves Aae,...marningeeempany or evening bate talion drill, and it is. crowded ,with men from all' the camps round here, ' washing off' as they term it, while the whole banks, are lined with fires covered with camp kettles, washing ,and boiling; their clothes. Shirts, drawers, blue (light) pants, blouses, blankets, everything goes to pot to keep off the body-guarde. then, with insects of various kinds that - prey on Jou man flesh we're bothered; nits (like a bug) go he,ed, and. shoulders into yaur flesh, and you can't get them out without soaking them in tobacco juice; then there'd a big-siied`knob on your 'flesh that keeps you up to the scratch all the time. • Then, there's the chigger, about the size of a pin:s point, yellow, like ground mustard grain; they eat under your skin too. Mosquitoes, tobacco „smoke and that of ;tlie camp 'fired beat off pretty well ;'yet they come with :their noisy hum, and then what a slap you give yourself; )11.t,' Miss ' Kitty' slopes, and don't get hurt. Also the villanelle small black ant and poison-spiders as big as hezel-nuts—aye, and larger. 'Tie scarcely a week since one of ouitaen had to come to camp off picket ; he was bit while asieep,by one of them under the eye, and his whole face and n9ck swelled up, The doctor gave him a lotion which reduc'dd the swelling, bettit was very painful, accompanied with sickness and nausea. We see no snakes, which is very strange; nor did we. while on the march through a wild rocky country, which places they do most congregate in. Around Murfreehborbugh the woods were alive with squir rels, quite tame ;; the brown and ground, also the fox and gray squirrel (the latter being most scarce), also the flying squirrel are extraordinary creatures. One night some three months ago, about 10 o'clock, I was in the outer post on *and picket, in thick wood where some thick timber had ,been cut down, underbrush and branches lying thickly round, while the leaves were ankle deep. To our right that 'clay "eie heard cannonading, and when the officer of the 'day came round at dusk with the countersign and rally ing call, ho told us,to be on the alert, expecting an attack. !was not long on post, the night clear without moon, when the whole wood seemed teeming withlife'; the in sects in the leayes kept them in a rustle, the ,squirrels fcept jumping, running, and cutting up all sorts of devil ment, lihich made me feel anything but comfortable; for 'I was trusting to my ears as much as to my eyes. Suddenly stick a caterwauling, such a mewing, never two old ,Toms cut up ; they were two polecats pitching into one another, which alarmed me not a little, the cries came so suddenly. Then they'd 'pesikeYor a while, and in concert they'd make the,teigla horrible; at length one orrthe other skedaddled, and when my nerves were getting settled, 'and I supposed all the devilmen't was over, a loud chuckling laugh burst out in front of me, answered by a softer and less loud one. Theslevfl,' thought 1, stop your fun,' when suddenly I' thought of the, big, horned owls, who do indulge in the Most perfect imitation of a laugh—quiet chuCkling 'one — ever 'Alit heard. I 'could not help indulging in a quiet laugh myself e as I listened to them, and thought of the cir cumstandes which had occurred, for it seemed as if the brave birds were laughing at the fight the shunks or polecats had. Those matters, light and trifling as they may read, yet try men's nerves, In the lone, silent old woods, silent save the buzz and hum of animal life, on the qui vire for a footstep sound, the breaking of a twig or a branch, the barking of a dog or sudden flight of birds, anything to mark the coming of some sneaking hound who'll prowl round to shoot the pickets down, has a certain effect on a soldier, who has naught but his quickness of perception and rifle to save him, which I could not well describe; but imagining your self in the peculiar position you may have a tolerable clear idea of it. It is now night, and in the solemn stillness I try to finish my letter, writing in a—you would not guess in a twelvemonth—graveyard, on a tombstone, alongside of which 'we are encamped, and far from the noisy talk of my comrades, who are all exulting in the daily arrival of favourable news. Morgan's raid into Indiana gave most of the Indiana boys intense satisfaction. Strange yet true, for the Copperheads, or Northern traitors, suffered most in loEs of personal property, and the very fact of their losing fine horses, their mills, steam and water power, burnt down, corn, meat, and money being taken from them, fully compensated the hoosiers here for any loss they or their friends may have sustained at home, and by all accounts Morgan and his men were more brutal and harder on the Northern ' Southern sympathiser' than on the Union men. They (Southern soldiers) despise them for mean, low-flung, cowardly dogs, that would not come out like men to fight. By telegram to-night we learn that Morgan's, Bazil's, Duke's, and other of the guerilla leaders' race is run ; they're taken prisoners ; I hope sincerely 'tis true. Also that only 300 of from 5,000 to 6,000 which the rebels took into Indiana with them escaped to Virginia, but have not yet cleared our lines there. Little Rock,' the capital city of Arkansas, has been captured by a Gen. Blunt, and Price has been whipped at Helena while trying to get troops to Vicksburg. The good cause is progressing ; we have had a favourable summer so far ; not extremely hot, with plenty of rain to give men and animals water and keep up what the Americans call a big river '—i e., plenty of water for the boats to run. We learn through a New York paper that Louis Napoleon has acknowledged the Southern Confederacy, and the same paper in a leading article breathes war to the knife against France, with a big army for Mexico to clear the Johnny Crapeauds out. It would be very popular here—such a war would, surely, for the Americans have been looking with a suspicious and angry eye on France's interference with Mexico, and their talk was, ' Wait awhile, we'll fix him one of these days.' They'll do it if they go about it, for they're able. Candle's going I out—phew I look out for ghosts 1" ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, TAMWORTH. A meeting of the electors of Tamworth was held in the Town-hall, yesterday, at noon, for the par pose of hearing Mr. John Peel, of Middleton Hall, one of the candidates for the representation of the borough, give an expression of his political views. The meeting was a large and respectable one. Mr. Peel, in the course of a lengthened address, avowed himself to be an " independent" candidate, and stated that during the last two years he should have been a steady supporter of Lord Palmerston's Go vernment. He was a member and sincere lover of the Church of England, but favourable to a settle ment of the church-rate question. In foreign politics he supported the principle of non-intervention. In allusion to a personal remark made by Sir Robert Peel, he said that he pleaded guilty to having all his life traded upon the name of Peel—(hear, hear) which was his birthright. The grandfathers of himself and Sir Robert Peel were brothers. His grandfather was the elder of the two brothers, and inherited the family estates, which had descended from father to son during upwards of two centuries, and were now held by his elder brother. (Cheers.) If he had not a right to the name of Peal, who had (Hear.) It had always passed current as a guaran tee of his honour and integrity in every relation of life, and he trusted that he had never dote anything to sully its brightness or depreciate its value. Mr. Willington then moved that Mr. Peel was a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Tamworth in Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr. James Haywood seconded the motion, which was carried with much cheering. MR. H. T. CRAVEN, the very successful author of the " rest Boy" and the " Chimney Corner," has in pre paration at the Strand a new three-act serio-comic drama, Miss Kate Saville being engaged to play the heroine. A MODEL THEATRE IN PARIS.—The new theatre of the Bouffes Parisiens is rapidly approaching its completion.

She left Vancouver's Isfand Dec. '22, 1862, and having touched at San Franeisco, proceeded to Honolulu, where she ar rived March 17. She left the Sandwich Islands on April 21, and made Fanning's Island May 8. She touched at Humphrey's and Reardon's Islands, and also at several islands from which the natives have been recently been kidnapped by slavers. Sunday Island has been stripped of its inhabitants, and the plantations and settlements in the other islands in the vicinity have also been completely destroyed. It is understood that the plans and reports sub mitted by Mr. Scamp, C.E., Deputy Director of Works, to the Board of Admiralty for the extension and improvement of Portsmouth Dockyard have been approved, and that a bill embodying the de tails of this scheme will be laid before Parliament early next session. Of late Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, has visited Ports mouth daily, and in addition to investigating the dockyard system of accounts has spent considerable time in acquainting himself with the requirements of the port. The ships of war on the Australian - station at the date of the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sullivan, at New Zealand ; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jenkins, at Sydney ; the Eclipse, 4, Capt. Mayne, at New Zealand ; and the Hecate, 6, Capt. Richards. The Miranda has been undergoing extensive re pairs for some time at the hands of Mr. Cuthbert, of Sydney. Dry rot was discovered to have pene trated the hull in so many places that it was neces- sary to lay both sides Open. She was, therefore, placed in the Government dry dock and stripped ; several portions of the frame have been taken out and replaced by colonial timber, and the frigate is now again ready for service. The Australian Steam, Navigation Company has constructed a gunboat for the New Zealand Government, intended for service on the inland waters of that colony. She is 140 ft. holes, generated.

HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) There were 1,233 deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number in 10 corresponding weeks (1. e., the 39th in each of the years 1853-62), with the omission of deaths from cholera in 1854, and a correction for increase of population, becomes 1,240. The actual num ber of deaths in last week therefore very closely agrees with that which is obtained by calculation, and the present state of the public health is neither better nor worse than what is usually enjoyed at this generally healthy season of the year. But scarlatina is exceedingly prevalent, and appears de cidedly to be on the increase. The deaths from it, which were in the previous week 130, rose to 148 last week. They have been constantly above 100 weekly since the middle of July. Diphtheria does not exhibit the same tendency to increase; it was fatal in 12 cases in the week. The deaths from scarlatina were most numerous last week in the following sub-districts :—St. John, Westminster, 5 ; Kentish-town, 8; Islington West, 6; Islington East, 7. There were 10 in the district of Bethnal-green, and the same number in Deptford. Small pox numbered 29 cases, diarrhcoa 46, both diseases showing a decline. On the 23d inst., a man died under chloroform in the London Hospital, and on the following day another under the same influent in St. George's. A labourer died on the Sth inst., in St. Martin's work house, from " csumption, accelerated by want of the com mon necessarie t . a life ;" and a cooper on the 16th, at 7, St. John-stree';,Bet)mal-green, from "aneurism, death so *ii `eelerated 12y , ? nt,,„,pApr optsr and sufficient nourishment." Last weed e, births of -. o4ebOya and 853 girls,- in au, 1,801 childre were registered in London. In the 10 cor responding - Nic ks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) w 41,880.

There was thunder and lightning on Tues day, with heavy showers of rain, and there was also light ning on the two following s:laye.• The wan cf the highest temperature of tile water of the -Thames was 61.4 deg., that of the lowest was 59,2 deg. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS. Mr. Corrie, the magistrate at Bew-itreet, was occupied during the greater portion of the evening yesterday in thc investigation of a case in which Mesira. Clarkson and Co:, the well-known chintz manufactniNirs, of Baniston Hall Works, Lancashire, and of Coventry;ltrept and Cheapside, London, proceeded to recover penaltikAinder the Copyright of Designs Act, 5 and 6 Vie., against*lsrd. Shoo"'bred and Co., of Tottenham-court-road, for expo)* for sale certain patterns of chintz being a fraudulent initiation of a design registered by the complainants. CounselsVeie4etained on both sides ; Mr.A.sten, instructed by Messrs Bailey, Shaw, and Smith, for the prosecution, and Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. Ashurat, for the defence. Mr. Aston stated the case. In the early part of last year Mr. The's. Clarkson, the son of Mr. Clarkson, the head of the them, was informed by Messrs. Jackson and Graham that they would be glad to have a nice lilac chintz. Incon sequence of this Mr. Clarkson instructed the designer and artist of his firm to prepare such a design, which was done. The design was registered, and by an agreement with Messrs. Jackson and Graham they became the sole licensees, with the exclusive right of sellieg the pattern. In April, 1863, Mr. Clarkson discovered that Messrs. Walters, of New gate-street, were selling a pattern so precisely similar that they believed it to have been imitated from the registered ,des4su, with only so mucie alteration that it could not lie strictly termed a copy. Of this Mr. Clarkson thought it his duty to give intimation to Messrs. Jackson and Graham. In consequence of that a correspondence ensued, and the matter was arranged by Messrs. Walters taking a course which ought to be regarded as a precedent by every re spectable firm. They agreed not to issue any more of the " pirated " pattern, but to give up to Messrs. Jack son and Graham all the stock they had on hand, to recall all the " patterns " then out on show (a sample of the design), and, with regard to any portion which had been sold for consumption, that if the parties should require more to match they should be referred to Jackson and Graham, from whom only they should be enabled to receive it. Subsequently it was ascertained that Messrs. Shoolbred were selling a chintz of the same pattern. An attempt was made to induce them to accede to the same terms as Messrs. Walters, but they declined, and after a protracted correspondence closed the matter by referring to their solicitors. In the course of that correspondence Messrs. Shoolbred intimated that a copy of the agreement between Messrs. Walters and Messrs. Jackson and Graham sent to them by the latter firm was not correct, and that in the agreement there was an understanding that there was to be no interference with those who might have purchased from Walters and Co. before the date of the agreement, and that therefore they were justified in selling the chintz, as they had purchased it before that period. Upon the agreement being produced, Mr. Corrie said it was somewhat ambiguous, and he thought it did not touch the point as to the chintz sold before that time. However, if the design was a fraudulent imitation, the defendants would not be justified in selling it after their attention was drawn to it. He would suggest, however, as both parties were very respectable, the whole affair might be settled by amicable arrangement. After a discussion, in the course of which it appeared that Messrs. Shoolbred had bought 60 pieces from Messrs. Walters, and had 35 pieces left, the case proceeded, neither party being willing to come to any agreement. Mr. Aston then proceeded at some length to call the atten tion of the magistrate to the details of the two designs, con tending that they were similar in all general and leading features, and that they only differed in some minor details. The original consisted of lilacs of four colours, viz., the na tural, red, violet, and white, with green leaves, and the imi tation contained natural, violet and white lilacs, red roses, and green leaves. Mr. Aston then called a number of wit nesses, partly as to the facts, and partly as to their judg ment as persons of experience that the design in question was an imitation. Amongst them were Mr. Dennis, who superintended, and Mr. Aumonin, who executed the design which had been registered. They said the design was what is called a " bordered and filled chintz." The filling, which is the middle portion of the pattern, was designed first, and it then occurred to the artists to put a border of the same flowers. They gave their opinion that the general effects, the colours, the grouping, and all the essentials of the two designs were the same, and that the variations were only introduced for the purpose of making some sort of distinc tion. They considered it quite impossible that the second could have been male so like the first by accident. They were satisfied that the designer must have imitated it from the registered design. Mr. Corrie had great difficulty in perceiving any greater resemblance than would necessarily arise if it was admitted that any one might make a bordered and filled chintz with a pattern of lilacs of those colours. The witness explained in great detail that the absolute and relative sizes of the patterns and the various parts, the groupings, arrangements, and " balancing" of the colours were the same; and upon Mr. Carrie pointing out distinc tions, the witnesses declared those points of difference to be wholly immaterial. Several members of large firms in the chintz trade, and having many years' experience, thoroughly confirmed the opinions of Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Dennis, and Mr. Aurnonin, one gentleman going so far as to declare, that if curtains of the respective designs were hung on opposite sides of the bench a person in the body of the court would not be able to distinguish them. For the defence Mr. Poland called Mr. Wm. Pearman, a designer of 20 years' experience, who said he was instructed by Mr. Sinnett, manager to Walters and Son, to design the chintz in question. It was to be a bordered and filled chintz, and a sheet of a French pattern was given him as a guide to the colours. Ile had never seen the registered design till last week. Mr. Sinnett proved that he received the design from Mr. Pearman in September, which was before the other was re gistered, and of course before he had seen it. Had shown patterns of it to Jackson and Graham, asking them to buy some of the chintz. Never admitted. that it was an imita tion, but male the agreement to avoid litigation, and be cause it was worth his while, Jackson and Graham being good customers. It was distinctly understood that persons who had purchased should not be interfered with. Mr. Corrie said that even on the view of the patterns he did not think this was an imitation; but after this evidence he must either declare the two witnesses were perjured, or dismiss the summons. Mr. Poland applied for costs. Mr. Corrio thought they had better drop it, and not quarrel any more. No doubt the complainants had really thought it was a fraudulent imitation, but they must be convinced to the contrary now. Summone dismissed, THE ARMY. On Monday the 100- p o under Armstrong gu n on the Rock Perch batter y , near Liverpool, was fired forthe fi a t Brigade, under the command of Lieut. Marshall , R .A. The rang s t ron g wind was blowi ng . The following was the men hug ht s t res ult of the firing :—Th e fi r st solid shot , 150 yards e w fi rst s 3,4 timeo yards. by T r o of theo Throughout t C h oa e practice a right, elevation good ; second shot, 160 yards do.; third shot, 50 yards do.; fourth shot, 25 yards right, 20 yards short ; fifth shot, 1 . 0 yards right, elevation good ; sixth shot, 15 yards do. The first shell, with concussion fuse, fell 100 yards short in good line, but did not explode. The second shell fell 15 yards short and 55 feet to the left, and exploded. Two segment shells with time fuses were then fired at a range of about 1,200 yards, it having become too dark for practice at the longer range. Good prac tice was made. The gun was worked with ease. At the same time a 68 pounder gun was fired at a range of about 1,200 yards, and made excellent practice with shot and shell. It was tried once at the same range as the Armstrong, but the shot fell 200 yards an d 300 to the right. ~.. ,/ t~y KMI t~, ~.A ' .
