The application of the Joint-stock principle to Marine Insurance has proved eminently successful, and the de servedly high price of the shares of the existing Marine In surance t ompanies clearly demonstrates the great confidence which the public have in such undertakings. Under proper management, the safe acd highly remunera tive nature of such business is well known ; and although several new Marine Insurance Companies have been esta blished within the last few years, there is not the slightest doubt that, from the increasing expansion of the trade of this country, the existing channels are not sufficient to meet the wants of the mercantile community. The recent reports of the existing Marine Insurance Com panies show what great pr o g ress they have made, and in fact there is scarcely an instant of a properly constituted and well man Ted Marine Insurance Company having been otherwise than steadily successful snd progressive. Durin tne uarter of a cm tury the exort trade of this country has last mo q re than trebled itself. which is shown by the following figures, extracted from the accounts of the Board of Trade : Toe declared value of the exports and manufactures of the United Kingdom was— In 1834 £41,(49,191 In 1844 5,584,292 In 1854 97,184,726 In 185 , • • • 130,440,427 In 1860 135,89 , 2 27 The value of the foreign and colonial produce exported from this country has also increased in an equally satisfactory ratio. The shipping clearing out from British ports in the foreign and colonial trade alone increased from 2,165,099 tons in 1831 to 1 ~70),162, in 1862. A very profitable field for Marine Insurance has sprung up during the last fifteen years by the immense increase , n the importation tf gold and silver to this country, and the ex portation of the same to other parts of the world. At the present date the Bullion trade of the United Kingdom exceeds sixt' million pounds sterling per annum, and this is irres pective of the very large rums passing through private firms, of which no account appears in the official returns. It is somewhat remarkable that none of the large London Marine Insurance Companies have as yet established branches in Scotland; and in establishing a branch of the English and Scottish Ma r i ne Insurance Company at Glas gow, the Directors propose to take advantage of this un touched field. Hitherto the principal marine insurance business of Glas gow and the other ports of Scotland has been effected through the intervention of London brokers ; and, considering the obvious evils and inconveniences of such a system, it is sur prising ft has been tolerated so long. The amount of tonnage owned in Glasgow Is very great, and for many years past the trade of the port has been in creasing very rapidly, as will be seen from the following statistics :-- Customs Revenues collected at Glasgow. In 1810 In 1862 .: • • ;• • • • • xt 7 . - , 2 5 ti;70453 the 1 Register Tonnage of Vessels arriving ana.deparng from Harbour of Glasgow. In 1833 .. .. • • .. 1,437,072 t ons. In 1862 • • • • • • • • 3,061,284 tons. It must also be borne in mind i hat a very large portion of the export and import trade of Glasgow passes thro. gh Liverpool, to and from which it is carried by railway, and such shipments, of course, do not appear in the Custom House returns, altitou....h the insurance of them would naturally be done in Glasgow, were proper ficilitie• afforded on the spot. The Clyde, it is well known. is also the largest shipbuild ing district in the world, and this trace is rapidly being aug mented. From the promises of support which the Directors have rec. ire,i from influential houses, they entertain the greatest confidence In the success of the undertaking, the Directors having" been able to secure the services of thoroughly quali fied underwriters, who already clmrnand an extensive con nection. There will therefore be no delay in the commence ment of the Company's business. The head offlo will be in London, where, as well as at Glssgow, the business will be carried on, on the principles adopted by the leading marine insurance companies. The following staiistles of a few of the present marine in surance companies show the highly sue ce-sful nature of such business when conducted with proper management:— v. -----------______ 11 ..' : !,.te V 2 5 01 4,4 44 4 Last Dividend.

The object of this enterp Ise is to take advantage of the impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of the Excise Duties, under cirumstances peculiarly favourable, the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope ration, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with the cos' of similar products in the ol en market. 2. It is well knOwn that very large fortunes have been realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which amounted to £2O to £' , s per cent. upon the value of first-class News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con stantly incre s ing demand for the supply of Books, Periodi cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plant., with the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per fect description. 3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862, it is proposed to purchase at their actu I cost, the under takiJgs of the ltttrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under the title of the Dartford Creek Paper 31111 Company. 4. rite works of the UlmAte nr Ammonia Company were established to lea() on t' , e Thames, at Grays, in Essex, for the purpose of working Ward's Patents for obtaining paper making materials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable manure powder from the res due The patent process has proved, mcchanlcully and commercially, completely success ful, and workin g by d ay only, the machinery produces 25 tons of paper -making material per weak, and about the same quantity of powder, containing.; about 15 per cent. of soluble nitrogen, estimated as ammonia, closely approaching in rich ness to the best qualities of Peruvian guano. 5. In 1862, a large mill for ma :ufacturing into paper the fibrous products of the w, rks at Grays, in mixture with other materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons, with every recognised practical improvement in construction and machinery. Driven by steam power, abundantly supplied with the purest water from an Artesian well, with coal and materials by water carriage, and cheap transport for the paper by rail to London, the power and economy of produc tion have proved highly advantageous as compared with mills located, as the great majority still are, on country streams, on which they are more or less dependent for mo tive power and for water for working purposes. 6. The present turn out of the Paper Mill is 16 tons of news and print ng papeis per week made t 3 order, and the works were built so as to admit of the doub ins of the production, at an outlay very largely below the cost of the original under taking. _ . . 7. The capital in actual cost and working funds of the Ulmate of Ammonia Com pany, The cost of the Paper Mill is The estimated cost of the proposed exten sion, including increased cottage accom modation and contingencies 30,000 0 0 Total £117,000 0 0 Add for inCa ease of working cap tal Total £135,1r0 0 0 8. To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the fulle-t extent the produc tive power of the works at Grays, and toprovide the necessary working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as a fund of credit, deemed highly desirable for the safe and profitable working of a Limited Company. 9. After providing for every ontingency, the net profits calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and 25 to 30 tons or manure powder, per week, will be from £20,(00 to £25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the mar kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., with pros pects of considerable increase upon favourable developme n t s of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the state of affairs in America, and other disturbinv. causes, A very large share of the capital has already been sub scribed by the present owners of the properties. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obta ned from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company. Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full ; and if a less number be allotted than is applied for, the sur plus will be used towards the payment on allotment.

The screw steamship Princess Royal, 73, recent 4 in the first division of the steam reserve in HamoL ze, has been completed at Devonport for sea service, and will probably be put in commission in a few days. It is reported there that she will bear the flag of the present First Secretary to the Lords of the Ad miralty, Rear-Admiral Lord C. Paget, C. 8., M.P., and that his Lordship will succeed to the command of the North American and West Indian station, in succession to Rear-Admiral of the White Sir Alex. Milne, K,C.B. Orders have been issued by the Board of Admi ralty to extend the arrangements at Woolwich so as to hasten the completion of the amour cased ship Caledonia. Additional shipwrights are to be in creased twofold. The armour shed is to be length ened 80 feet, so as to fit up additional machinery. A second bending machine, supplied by Messrs. West wood, Baillie, and Co., of the Isle of Dogs, is being erected, which is said to be the largest and most powerful hydraulic apparatus yet made. The ram is 28-inehes in diameter. The cylinder is made of wrought iron, and the upper and lower cross heads are of cast iron, and weigh 34 tons. The upper cross head is kept in place by four wrought iron screwed columns, which are fitted with large nuts to adjust the he;ght. Tne water is forced into the cylinder by a pairof gun metal pumps,which are so arranged that they can be worked by hand or steam power. A gauge is fitted to the machine to indicate the amount of pressure required for bending armour plates of various thicknesses. The total weight of the machine is 55 tons, and it is guaranteed by the makers to work up to a pressure of 1,800 tons. Since the arrival of the apparatus at the dockyard every portion of it has been carefully inspected by persons connected with the Russian agency in Lon don, with a view of purchasing similar machinery for the Russian Government. One of the kind is also to be fitted up at the dockyard at Pembroke. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Capt. F. S. Tremlett, to the Impregnable; Capt. Hon. F. A.

On Wednesday new colours were presented on Mount Wise, Devonport, by Mrs. Hutchinson, wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the Western District, to the 75th or Stirlingshire Regiment, quartered in the Raglan Barracks there. This regiment was actively engaged in India throughout the whole of the mutiny. It was one of the first encamped before Delhi, and remained until the capture of the city, and then proceeded with Col. Greathead's moveable column to Lucknow, where it rendered effective assistance in the relief of the garrison. After 13 years' arduous duty in India, the 75th returned to England last June, and, its present colours being worn and shattered, n ew co l ours w ere p repared by the authorities at the H orse G uar d s .

The words " Delhi " and " Lucknow," on either side, are to be added hereafter. A small Union Jack is in the upper corner. Each of the co• lour staffs is surmounted by a golden lion. The colours having bee n f ormally d e di ca ted by th e Rev. C. Moore, the chapl a i n , Col.Radcliff, the officer coin. mending, acknowledged their reception in suitable terms, and they were then, attended by the band, trocped through the reg i men t.

Th e 7 5th Regiment was rais e d or i g i na lly in the n or th of Scotland, in the year 1787, by Col. R. Abercrombie. Major-Gen. Stransham, I n spector-General of the Royal Marines, in continuation of his half -yearly inspection at Woolwich,yesterday assembled 8-16 th e , or eight companies of 16 files of the division, on Woolwich-common, at 10 a.m., under the cen.mand of Lieut.-Col. Marriott, fi e ld officer of the we e k, f or battalion drill. After perfoming the usual s a l ute, the battalion was handed over first to Lieut.-Col. Lewis, and in succession to several of the captains, to test their efficiency in the command of certain battalion movements. They were performed with much tact and judgment, and the Inspector-Gene ral had occasion only in one instance to recall the officer's attention to an irregularity. The batta lion was subsequently broken into three and formed a brigade under the command of Col. Michell. After performing a series of brigade movements they retired to barracks for dinner. At 2 o'clock the remainder of the division, Consisting of officers' servants and others employed in barrack s , undis ciplined ; when the General r o and at 4 o'clock the men were occupied went through a minute inspection of th e kit s , &c.

Before dismissing the battalion the Inspector-General said that the inspection had given him the highest satisfactio n . The Denbigh Militia was inspected on the 11th inst. by Col..Edwardes, 49th Footo,who was much pleased with the soldierliko appearance of the men. Four men only were absent. The manner in which the several evolutions were performed called forth his warmest praise. He attributed their healthy appearance to the system of messing adopted in the regiment since its formation in 1852. The number of sick per diem averaged four, the total strength being 465. The West Kent Light Infantry Militia, under the command of Col. Sir T. M. Wilson, was in spected by Major-Gen. Sutton, at the Cavalry square, Maidstone, yesterday. The regiment mustered on parade 755 men of all ranks, exclu sive of others. After having marched - past in slow and quick time they went through various battalion manoeuvres, at the conclusion of which the General addressed the regiment, speaking in very high terms of their appearance, and observed that the way in which they had performed their movements THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, May 1. General Joseph Hooker—the man who, accord ing to his own report of himself, never made a mis take in war—whose military judgment i 9 as in fel lible as the theological interpretation of the sacee,- sors of St. Peter—who could have taken the Confe derate capital when :\I'Do well, Al‘Ciellan, Pope, and Burnside all miserably failed, and who on his own showing is the greatest warrior the world has ever seen—has crossed the Rappahannock on the way to Richmond. If he arrives there in any other charac ter than that of a prisoner of war, the world will be compelled to admit that his proud self-assertion was but the self-knowledge of genius, and that the Federal Government has at last found a captain worthy of the more than Herculean task which that Government has to perform. But if he be foiled by superior skill or bravery—defeated by the ele ments, or fatally impeded by unforeseen accidents and contingencies—or if, at the most, he achieve to greater results than a drawn battle, leaving the possession of Richmond as remote and forlorn a hope as it has been at any time within last twelvemonth—the world will in like manner be compelled to admit that his courage was but rash ness, his criticism of others but presumptuous folly, and his faith in himself but arrogance and conceit of the most stupendous and offensive cha racter. A few days will show the stuff he is made of. If he capture Richmond he will make himself the greatest man in America. If he fail, the best fate his friends can wish for him will be a soldier's death at the head of his army on the field of battle. The conduct of the War Department in prohibit ing the transmission by telegraph of any information whatever respecting the movements of the army is severely commented upon. It is known that Gen. Hooker has crossed the river, and more than sus pected that a great battle has either been fought or is at this moment in progress ; but the Government would not so much as permit the mere fact of his ad vance to be telegraphed to Halifax yesterday to meet the Arabia at that port. Nothing can be more imbecile than such conduct. At the most it only succeds in keeping Europe and America in ignor ance for two or three days, though it is suggested by those amiable cynics whose maxim it is, " if you do not know the truth of a thing you ought to believe the worst," that the information is only withheld from the public to enable a few friendly speculators in Europe and America to make money on the Stock Exchange by knowledge privately communicated to them. Certainly no wise Govern ment would act in this manner, whatever be the motives which animate it. In this instance the public do believe the worst. They think that if there were good news it would be speedily promul gated, and that whether the news be good or bad it is jobbed in Wall-street by people in the secret. Yesterday being the Fast day appointed by Mr. Lincoln for observance throughout all the States still pertaining to the Union, the people of this city fasted and humbled themselves in the manner usual in modern times, both in Protestant and Roman Catholic countries, by shutting up their shops, stoles, warehouses, and offices, and devoting them selves to recreation and hospitality. The churches were but moderately filled with devotees ; the Aboli tionist clergy for once refrained from cursing their Southern enemies and advocating their extermina tion ; the streets swarmed with pleasure seekers ; the beautiful Central Park, bursting out into the full loveliness of early spring, was crowded with equipages, as well as with equestrians and pedes trians; the ladies gushed out in a magnificence of attire only seen in the drawing rooms and ballrooms of other countries, but which in this it seems to be considered good taste to display in the public thoroughfares ; the theatres were crammed to suffo cation, and the lagerbier saloons and all the other drinking places with which this money-making, im pulsive, and rejoicing capital abounds concentrated into the space of one evening the ordinary business of a week. Thus did New York humble itself before the Almighty,in compliance with the wish expressed in Mr. Lincoln's proclamation. Thus did one por tion of the pious American people confess, in the words of the President, " their sins and transgres sions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon;" and thus did they " recognise the sublime truth an nounced in the Holy Scriptures, and proved by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord." Perhaps among the Puri tans of Ne w England the day was observed in a manner more in accordance with the repentant humility that ought to have filled the hearts of a Christian population, if the Fast were not intended for a Feast ; but certainly throughout this city, as fur as outward show was concerned, the occasion was one of undisguished merriment and sensual gratification. The old pride that Mr. Lincoln re• buked in the proclamation by which the Fast was appointed seemed as rampant as ever. " We have forgotten God," said the President; " we have for gotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied, enriched, and strengthened us, and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace—too proud to pray to the God who made us." Had Mr. Linc o ln written these words after a stroll incognita through the streets of New York yesterday and last night, he would have truly described the spirit of his people, and perhaps, being a philosopher, might have found reason to believe that the Fast was a farce, end that New York, which thrives so vigorously upon a war ex penditure, is not likely to feel the contrition which he recommends until the misery of war has been brought to its own door, and the horrors inflicted by its fleets and armies on the cities of the South shall become matters of personal experience to the gay, busy, and thoughtless crowd which has grown or is growing rich on the misery of the nation. For the last three days the " returning brave" of the Army of the Potomac, so urgently needed on the battlefields of Virginia, have run riot in the streets of this city. The 7th and Bth Regiments of New York Volunteers, mostly, if not entirely, composed of Germans, and forming part of the too notorious command of General Blenker, arrived on Tuesday, having completed their term of service, and posi tively refused to renew it, whatever inducements of indulgence and bounty money might be offered to them. They were received with shouts of welcome by the Teutonic population and all the floating crowds of the city. They expressed great dissatisfaction at the slight put upon them by the War Department, which deprived them of their arms before they were permitted to leave Washington. The Nett) York Times states that this act on the part of the autho rities " was mean and discreditable; one of those stupid and uncccountable blund ers which no roan of sense ever falls into, and which proves its instiga tors to be ignorant of human nature and r eckl ess of the soldiers' feelings." Had the New York Times recollected that these were the heroes whose rob beries of cow yards and hen roasts, insults to womem and wanton des truction of property scindalieed the whole country a few months ago, and compelled the Government, for the sake of public decency, to de prive o f his command the General who permitted if he did not encuurage them, it might have saved its ire fur a nobler purpose. Anyone who saw those same heroes in the" Bowery" and contiguous streets in the evening, reeling about in a state of furious d ru nkenness, would have Praised in s t ea d of blamed t h e prescience of the Govern men t t h at minimised their powers of mischief, and sen t them home with out firearms Yesterday Several other detachments of Irish and Americans arrived, who were received with the same exuberant welcome from the people. It is expected that within a firtnight no fewer than 38 New York regiments will have returned—men inured to war, whom Gen. Hooker and the Govern• mere can ill spare, hut who obstinately refuse to re enlit under commanders in whom they have ll° confidence and for a cause which they have ceased to approve. A number of the strong-minded young women and Ted spinsters, together with a sprinkling of the ftmale doctors, lecturers, and preachers for whom New England is famous, have formed themselves into a "Loyal Le%gue," the objects of which are to discourage shopping at millinery, mercery, and other establishments, the proprietors of which do not thoroughly approve the war and Mr. Lincoln's policy ; and to cease all social intercourse with gen tlemen and ladies who so far sympathise with the Southern people as to think that eight millions of them ought not to be exterminated for the sake of giving immediate and unconditional freedom to four millions of negroes. It is probable that the real gentlemen and ladies of New England will not grieve overmuch at exclusion from the tea-tables of such vulgar Xantippes, and equally possible that the prosperous traders of the cities of New England may not suffer much pecuniary loss for want of the custom of people who are probably as poor in purse as they are in charity. The movement is of no fur ther importance than to show how much more odious a civil war is than any other, and what an evil influence it exercises upon the minds of that gentle sex whose privilege it is, and whose pleasure it should be, to allay violent and bloodthirsty pas sions rather than excite them. Another kind of " league," formed by the women of New England, deserves as much praise as this deserves reproba tion. Having heard that the soldiers in camp are liable to scurvy and other cutaneous diseases, for want of an adequate supply of fresh vegetables, and especially of onions, some kind-hearted rather than strong-minded women have formed themselves into an " Onion League," the main objects of which are to promote the growth of onions, and to forward them free of charge for the use of the soldiers in all the armies of the Republic. Such patriotism may be homely, but it is true. Better the humblest sister of an " Onion League" than a whole wilder ness of female ranters like Miss Dickenson; for the same reason that one Florence Night ingale in the hospitals of the Crimea recommends herself more heartily to the love and good will of all mankind than 50 regiments of viragoes, unsexed, unnatural, and consequently disagreeable. Frederick Douglass, the negro orator, and beyond all comparison the most able man of his colour in America, lectured in Dr. Cheever's church, on Wed nesday, to a large audience, of whom three-fourths were whites, on the " Present and Future Prospects of the Coloured Race" in this country. He took high ground on behalf of his people, and asserted that nothing but civil and political equality, and the full enjoyment of all the rights, privileges, and immunities of any other portion of the community would satisfy the negro race either during or after the war. He said nothing about social equality, being a man of too much good sense to moot the point among a people whose whole course of public and private life is a protest against it whenever it becomes a question of a man or woman with the smallest portion of black blood in his or her veins. Ho said it had been charged that the negro in a state of freedom would die out, like the red race, before the onward progress of the white man ; " but he opined if slavery had failed to kill him, ho would not be exterminated by liberty." Herein Mr. Douglass mistook both the fact and the argument. It is asserted and proved that in the free North, principally from climatic and partly from social causes, the annual number of negro births is ex ceeded by the number of deaths ; and that, con sequently, the race is surely, though it may be slowly, in process of extinotion. It is not asserted that either in a state of slavery or of freedom in the South—where the climate is highly con genial to their increase—the negroes would die out. The idea is that they would be driven out, or exter minated as the red men have been, if there were no means of cempelling them to labour upon the soil. This idea is not only entertained by the Southern slave-Owners, but by the President of the United States, who sees no hope for free negroes anywhere within the boundaries of the late United States, and thinks the best thing that can be done for the whole black population is to transport it back to its native Africa, or drive it down into Central America. Mr. Douglass may be excused for thinking differently, but it is not the negroes, but the white men, who will decide the great question of the destiny of these people, so useful in the South—so hated, des pised, and oppressed in the West and the North. So difficult is the question that even the Govern ment of Mr. Lincoln, which has declared itself in favour of the freedom of the race, has unexpectedly found itself acting the part of the slave-owner, without those guarantees for kind treatment which the personal relations of the master to his slave inspire and perpetuate. Adjutant-General Themes in Louisiana, finding himself encumbered with too many negroes, who had freed themselves by the simple expedient of running away from their mas ters, has issued an official order, proposing that the plantations of rebels seized under the Confiscation Act shall be leased out to substantial farmers for the benefit of the Government, and that the Govern ment shall supply the lessees with compulsory negro labour, to be paid for at a certain daily rate. In other words, he proposes to re-establish " involun tary servitude"—the polite Southern euphemism for slavery—paying a money wage instead of a wage in kind, as was the Southern custom ; and with this difference to the disadvantage of the negro that when he is unable to work he shall no longer be en titled to receive any pay. The Tribune, whom none will accuse of hostility to the Government, or to any of its agents employed in the difficult task of giving freedom and sustenance to the slave, de nounces the project as nothing but slavery under a new guise. " Under such a system," it says, " it is inevitable that the estates will be leased by speculators, and no amount of care or superinten dence by the Government commissioners will be able to protect the negroes from oppression, cruel treat ment, and overwork. Except that punishment by the lash is forbidden, they will be if possible wo rse old off than on the same plantations under their o ld of masters and in undisguised slavery. beyond a certain point in his exact o slaves had the inducement of self in.te:oTehatoendoewatbtuosegso. eh to su pervision learn on the The lessee is freed from the terms of his contract, vs a n i haiuc t eh i h m i s e r etso o t u rea t lcipn o it f ; ea h inn i dsgysinterest is to get all possible than work a i n year , the bsibsoorntl : i n:erupt:haus la bourers.

The war is opening of the dangers which ignorant philosophers and malignant philanthropists have so rashly encoun tered ; and the negro himself is learning, especially in the North, that whatever may become of the war in other respects no good is likely to result to his unfortunate race—placed between the upper mill stone of slavery and the nether millstone of free Pauperism and social degradation. It may be remembered that the military authori ties of Indiana arrested Judge Constable of Illinois, on the judgment seat, on the charge of having ille gally set at liberty some persons brought before him accused of desertion. Judge Constable, hav ing been detained in prison for nearly a month, succeeded in bringing his case before the Supe rior Court of his native State, by whom he wee ordered to be immediate l y discharged from custody. Judge Constable has no redress for the , A crowded meeting of the inhabitants of South wark was held last evening at Taylor's Deposi tory, St. George's-road, for the purpose of petition • ing Parliament in favour of the independence of Poland. Mr. John Locke, M.P., one of the borough members, presided, and was supported by Mr. P. Ihnnessy, M.P., Sir 11 ,, nry Hoare, Pro- CeEsor iiirkb(clr, Dr. Rendle, and tn , st of the vestrymen and parochial officers. Durir. f .; t; : , proceedings Prince Czartoryski, Prince Ladis lens, General Count Zunoisky, and several Polish gentlemen, just arrived from Parie, came upon the platform, and were most enthusiastically cheered. The CHAIRMAN expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing so numerous a meeting of his constituents. He considered it was the duty of all Englishmen to support the gallant Poles, and he trusted the people of England would not rest satisfied with the Go vernment until they had compelled Russia to observe the solemn engagements she had entered into re specting Poland, by peaceable means if possible ; but if not, by all other available means. Capt. ROGERS moved, and Dr, RENDLE seconded, the first resolution, declaratory of the right of the Poles to resist by force of arms the violation of their just claims by the Russian Government. He thought diplomacy would never work out the independence of Poland. Mr. HENNESSY, M.P., in supporting the resolu tion, said he was heartily sick of expressing idle sympathy with Poland. He desired to see some practical means taken to help the Poles in their gallant and gigantic struggle. Diplomacy would never do this. While they were talking and writ ing the Poles were fighting ; and until England and France were prepared if necessary to send a fleet into the Baltic and an army to Warsaw, he was afraid no good would be done. He believed that if Russia saw the Western Powers were in earnest on this point, she would, but not till then, withdraw her unholy grasp from Poland. He looked upon the Russian notes as so much dust thrown in the eyes of France and England, and he firmly believed that the French Emperor was prepared actively to in terpose on behalf of Poland—with England if she would ; if not, without her. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was carried by acclamation. Sir IT. HOARE moved the second resolution, call ing upon the English Government to acknowledge the independence of Poland, and support that independence, if necessary, by force of arms. He entirely agreed with the spirit of the resolutions. Mr. SAZELL, a vestryman, seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Conolly, Professor Birkbeck, Mr. E. Beales, and other gentlemen, and carried amidst loud cheers. A petition to both Houses of Parliament, embody ing the principles of the above res olutionssted, was then t a dopted, and the meeting , which m anife a mos warlike spirit, concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Alarming Scene at the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, On "Wednesday night this building was the scene of consternation rarely equalled in intensity. It appears that a crowded audience had assem bled in the Music Hall to hear Collins' troupe of Christy's Minstrels. As soon as the doors were opened an escape of gas was perceptible. 'ihe large chandelier of the room was lit up, and none of the others appeared to be "turned on there fore the increase of the peculiar smell common to gas escapes created a good deal of anxiety amongst those present. However, people came trooping in every minute, and only a very few cautious ones again retired. As the time for the commencement of the performarce approached, the atmosphere of the room began to get quite oppressive, and the waiting audience felt somewhat alarmed. The officials were hunting about the room seeking to discover the escape ; but still the seats were kept and the number of seatholders increased. Just be fore eight o'clock a voice was heard from one side of the room calling that the escape was there. Isa a few seconds more the crack of a lucifer match was heard, and a light was seen to be passed along the wall, about seven or eight feet from the floor. In stantly a great batch of flame burst forth, accom panied by a report like the discharge of a piece of ordnance. In another instant a second explosion of the same kind took place, further along and higher up the wall, a third and lesser one followed in the same diagonal track towards the roof, and then came an explosion far louder and more violent than those proceeding. This took p l a co in a downercornr of the roof just under th e dome, and sent mass of plaster, woodwork, and broken glass on to the portion of the room immediately beneath. F or t un ately the heavier portio n fell in the space fronting the platform, and therefore no one was struck down. Dense volumes of smoke and dust however poured forth into the room, and either obscured or extinguished the lights in the large crystal centre chandelier. The side of the room on which the explosions took place is next to the lawn, to which access is given by lofty windows open ing to the floor. These ware draped with damask curtains which caught fire after' the explosions and added to the terror of the crowd. The effects of this terror bailie all descrip tion. At the first explosion shrieks and cries broke forth, and a general rush was made towards the single door by which the audience bad entered. This was quickly blocked up, and lamentable results would have ensued had not some persons had the ber presence of mind to ope n the lawn window acry to the people to escape that wa y .
