Hitherto this department of business has been almost ex c l us i ve l y i n th e hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the Joint.

The Merchant Banking Company of London. Limited, is in consequence projected, having be en care f u ll y matured under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility already available and in lull operation, the Comn any will at once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know ledge anal exherience of the respective toreign mat kets. The Company will avoid costly establishments abroad, which ab , orb so large a por+ian of the profits of other bank ing establishments, and avail themselves of the agency of Inareantile houses already established. - • The Company will grant negotiable or other credits, by and upon their Foreign Agents, to importers of produce in this country, on the continent of Europe, and in America. They will make advances on the staple manufactures cf this country under do 3umentary bil s, or c in signed to their Agents abroad, for such periods as may be necessary to realise the sale of such goods, and on terms favourable to the shippers. 'I bey will also undertake to execute orders for produce through their Agents abroad, on terms highly advantageous to importers. The Company will further undertake the monetary agency or Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constituted public bodies. They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London, at th. , current rates of interest, and grant loans, through their Agents abroad, on approved securities. The safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, as an investment w.ll be understood irom the na ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the profits likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile banking establishments engaged in the same descrip .ion of business. . _ _ ROPrOmotion-money will be paid in connexion with this Company; the pre iminary expenses will be strictly confiued to actual disbursements.

Mr. Cobden on the Conduct of the British Authorities in Japan. The following letter from Mr. Cobden has Lem received by Mr, Ashworth, Mayor of nodule :-- "My dear Sir,—CircvniamitstanceT inst., and I fear I shall meeting willdh u r at preventN ove November r 4. from to n Rochdale previous to the 9th therefore not have the satisfaction g pe uuder your presidency as paying my accustomed of mayor. attending d I i n r g e g a r e t p tuhbilai both public th - e - from o,_ the East. yhave constituentstak e taken the t e o pt the rjtausntr Personal f and calling public grounds. the linen loulfhmdave been reading carefully ence, just published, respecting our recent t eial correspond- Japan. It is a horrible narrative, whi ch I I tio s i n h , proceedings in ad difficult to treat with calmness. It appears that a despa t ch was sent by Earl Russell, instructing the British representatives that country to demand redress from Prince Satsuma, in one of its feudal chiefs .or daimios, for the murder of Of Richardson, and, in default of which , discretion vias,iM, n " to our naval commander, either to ' seiz e or detain' prince's steamvessels, or shell his residence, or blockad e his port. Thereupon, according to his own despatch, th e British admiral proceeded forthwith to burn the pri nce ' s steamers, and set fire to the town of liagosima, when, to quote his language, 'the conflagration thus created con tinued with unabated ardour np to the time of the depar ture of the squadron, 48 hours subsequently to the first at tack,' which, he proceeds to say, ' affords reasonable ground for believing that the entire town of liagesirna is now a mass of ruins;' and he expresses his 'trust that her Ma jesty's Government will be pleased to approve' his deeds. "It is stated, I know not how truly, that Kagosima is a city of more than 150,000 inhabitants.

We have been prompt to condemn a people, over whom we have no control, for acts for which we are in nowise responsible. I remember the indignation with which the Prime Minister denounces General Butler's pro clamation in which he threatened to consign to the cats bouse those women who should insult his soldiers in the streets of New Orleans. Will he and his colleagues now make themselves and the country accomplices after the fact in these atrocities of their own agents, who, in con temptuous disregard of the instructions of their Govern ment, have brought this heavy disgrace upon the country ? I trust not. But, at all events, let us not forget that our moral power in the world is at stake ; that if, as a people, we condone such crimes as these, when penetrated in our ~name by , thog) for wb.om, „.p,nd.erkteitadig &a, lone sponsible, we shall only invite the scorn of mankind by assuming to sit in judgment, as moral censors upon the delinquencies of other nations.—Believe me, yours sincerely, "Mr. G.

Pipon officiating Judge. Advocate-General. On Friday, in accordance with the sentence of a court martial, the ceremony of drumming out a soldier was per formed at Aldershott. The culprit was Private Peter O'Donnell, of the 76th Regiment, whose extraordinary attempt at desertion was noticed in the Sun about three months ago. It will be remembered that O'Donnell escaped, with his rifle, bayonet, and 20 rounds of ammuni tion in his possession, into the Long Valley, and for three days kept a pursuing party at bay, being ultimately lost sight of in the direction of Reading. Subsequently he quietly returned to his regiment, was placed under arrest, and tried by court-martial for the offence. Being found guilty on the several counts of desertion, firing at a corporal of the 76th Regiment and a private of the 6th Dragoon Guards, and of losing various articles of regimental apparel, ammunition, sic, he was adjudged to undergo four years' penal servitude, to be ignominiously expelled her Majesty's service, and to be branded with the letter "D." The two companies of the 76th Regiment remaining at Aldershott having assembled in the barrack square, together with the band of the 60th Rifles, the prisoner was marched out hand caffsd, wearing only his shirt and trousers, as when last seen at the period of his escape. Since his arrest he has constantly feigned insanity, and he now exhibited a very defiant bearing. The companies being drawn into line, and the front rank marched 15 paces to the front, Captain O'Donoghue, the senior officer in command, read the charge and the finding of the court-martial, together with the whole list of offences recorded against the prisoner, from which it a ppeared that his name had figured in the defaulters' book 41 times, and that he had previously, at Glasgow, been sen tenced to 112 days' imprisonment, and to be branded with the letter D. On the conclusion of the reading of the sen tence the prisoner threw his cap high in the air and shouted, "Long live Queen Victoria I Good bye I Three cheers for old Ireland !" Quickly stepping out, he was followed by the band of the 60th Rifles playing " The Rogue's March." On arriving at the end of the line he turned round, bowed nearly to th e ground, again shouted " Good bye," and threw his cap into the air three or four times. He was then marched under an escort of the 60th Rifles, to the military prison to undergo his full term of punishment. detachment of 100 non - commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery have arrived at the headquarters of the Ist division of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, from the depot brigade at Warley, to undergo a course of instruc tion in gunnery previously to embarking for service in India or the colonies.

The cries of the people having been heard by the sentry on Staddon Fort, an alarm was instantly raised and artillerymen from the barracks rushed down the hill.

Considerable time had, however, elapsed, and, a oa ft r e s r w sh er e e h t a a d ke l n eft in thane on coming up to the capsized boat, two persons only were on it—viz., Sieveley and Mrs. Drew.

REPORT ON RAILWAYS.--The Commission ap• pointed in November, 1861, by the Alinister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, to inquire into the working and construction of railways in France, has just published a voluminous but highly interesting report, and it is signed by the vice-president, M. Michel Cheva• ier, senator, and t secretar, M. Adolphe M oreau, auditor at the Council of State,y whose ability and skill in putting together the materials collected with great pains and research, reflect equal credit on hi s i n d ustry and talent, and fully entitle him to the honour of having his name asssociated with that of so eminent a man as M. Michel Chevalier. There is not a point of interest connected with the subject that has not been thoroughly s ift e d i n this volume, which may be considered mor e i n the light of a treatise on railways than of a dry official report. We glean the following recommendations of the Commission as most likely to interest the general reader. T ouching the speed of express trains , which in France do es not exceed a maximu m il es ometres ( 35 k miles) a n h our, while in Englandmuch as 71 kil ometres (41 miles) an hour, the Commission acknowledges the expediency of it attains ° f 57 k raising the average speed to 60 kilometres, but admits that this condition cannot be imposed upon railway companies in the case of lines the gradients of which require a slack ened speed in the interest of the passengers themselves and their personal security; that it is desirable that there should be at least one express train per day each way on every line, and that, although no steps should be taken in the matter, it would be desirable to admit second and third class pas sengers to the advantage of the express train. Regarding omnibus trains, there should be one at least of these trains per day on the principal lines, going at the rate of 40 kilo metres (25 miles) per hour. The correspondence or check granted to a passenger for the purpose of exchanging the line by which he has come for another which Crosses it has always been the object of special agreement between the companies. The agreements are communicated to the Go vernment, and cannot come into force until the sanction of the Minister has been obtained. As this necessity usually causes great delay, and . therefore inconvenience to the pub lic, the commission is of opinion that the agreement should be allowed to be acted upon five days after it has been com municated to the Government. The Minister may then, if necessary, suppress it; but if it should work well, he may sanction it at his leisure. Concerning the important ques tion of personal security in trains, so as to prevent the recurrence of such crimes as that of the murder of M. Poinsot, the Commission examines at length the various plans proposed, such as bell-handles w ithi n the reach o passengers, or the guard being enjoined to pass from handles, e, car riage to carriage by means of the footboards and d &c., and arrives at the conclusion that the first plan-hief would sc's enable any one to stop the train, either for mischief's sake, or from some foolish motive of ' groundless fear ; and that the second plan is Impracticable on these lines where the tunnels are too narrow,t all events, an I where the guard would be exposed to lose his life. At legislative enactments would be necessarye a bad use of th e means to render pas sengers liable to punishment if they m a de means placed at their disposal for the purpose of obtaini ng assistance. Another recommendation of the Commission is, that either curtains or blinds be provided for third-class carriages, and that coal be used instead of coke, whenever with a smoke•consuming apparatus, he engine is provided I f It also advocates the admission of all scrts of omnibuses to the railway stations. Concerning the goods' trains, th e Commission is of opinion that the present rate of 125 kilo metres per 21 hours ought to be raised to 200 kilometres. But in order further to promote the speedy delivery of goods, it proposes that companies be authorised to convey mode rately-sized parcels by express, but only from one terminus to another, the total weight not to exceed 2000 kilos The diminution of stoppages is a gr ea t ' with the with the Commission throughout the report, where it is stated that with this view an apparatus has been invented for exchanging mailbags not exceeding 12 kilogrammes at the stations without stopping the trains. Lastly, the com mission proposes to empower companies to modify the ir tariffs, on condition of their communicating them to the Government. If after a month the latt r hnot interfered, . the tar ff may be put in force • but the e M . Minister has always the right of suspending it. force; volume is full of interest ing details, are. is welt the perusalof professional worth men. BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER. MADAME RACHEL ON " FEMALE GRACE AND BEAUTY." Just published, ABOOK OF BEAUTY. By Madame RACHEL. To be had at 47A, New Bond-street. Price 2s. Gd. THE NEW ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. The Very Rev. R. Chenevix Trench, D.D., Dean of Westminster and of the Order of the Bath, has definitively accepted the Archbishopric of Dublin, with the Chancellor ship of the Order of St. Patrick, tendered to him by Lord Palmerston. Although an Englishman by education and settlement, Dr. Trench is an Irishman by birth and extrac tion, and his appointment is likely to meet with general favour across the Channel. This eminent poet, scholar, and divine was born on Sept. 9, 1807, so that he is in his 57th year. He is the second son of Ur. Richard Trench, of Botley, Hants, barrister-at-law, by Melesina Chenevix, relict of Col, St. George, and daugh ter of the Rev, Philip Chenevix (son and heir of Richard Chenevix, Archbishop of Waterford, 1741-9), a lady whose interesting journal, edited by her son, the Dean of West minster, was published a year or more ago, and was one of the most valuable books of the season. The family is a Gal way one. Frederic Trench settled in that county 150 years ago, and his descendant, Frederic of Woodlawn, M.P. for Portarlington, created Lord Ashton in 1800, was Mr. Richard Trench's elder brother. The present Lord Ashtown is first cousin as well as brother-in-law to the new arch bishop, who is connected with the Whites of Woodlands, Lord Bloomfield, Lord Drogheda, and other Irish families, besides having considerable landed property in Ireland him sel', bequeathed to him by his father. Dean Trench was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1829. After being for a short time incumbent of Curdridge, Hants, he became curate to the present Bishop of Oxford at Alverstoke, in the same county, in 1841, from which period may be dated his literary reputation and professional advancement. The bishop and his quondam curate have always been on terms of the great est intimacy, and no one can have heard the latter preach without recognising the manner of the master. When the Bishop of Oxford became Dean of Westminster, Lord Ashburton presented Mr. Trench to the rectory of ltchin- Stoke, near Winchester. In this position, outside his parish, which is a model of neatness and beauty, moral as well as natural, there was little for Mr. Trench's activity to work upon, for the theological atmosphere of Winchester was not to his taste, and he took very little pains to conceal the fact. In 1845-6, ho was Hulsean lecturer at Cambridge, and in 1847 he accepted the divinity professorship in King's Col lege, London, an office which at once brou;ht him into the best London society, as he had by that time become widely known as a poet and a writer. In 1855-6 it was supposed that ha would have had the Bishopric of Gloucester, but some hitch occurred, and, by way of compensation, the Deanery of Westminster was conferred upon him. Here he has been chiefly known for his establishment of the Sunday evening services, and for his readiness to preach and lecture anywhere in London for good objects. His management of Westminster School has not been successful, but his heart was in his study, and he left the business of the abbey and its estates to Lord John T hynne and Dr. Cureton. It must be said, however, that Dr. Trench, who advocated the re moval of the school into the country, and the abolition of the time-honoured play, had the manliness and candour to bow to the expressed wish of the old Westminsters' com mittee, and to announce his intention of doing his best for the improvement of the school, while retaining its time honoured customs. It need not be said that Dean Trench is known as an au thor wherever the English language is spoken. As a poet his " Sabbation," ," Honor Neale," and especially his " Justin Martyr" and " Genoveva" have long ago entitled him to a similar rank among poets to that occupied by his friend Lord Houghton. As a divine, his "Notes on the Parables," '" on the Miracles," "on the Sermon on the Mount," &c., have passed through several editions, and are standard theological works among the clergy and candidates for ordination. Al a philologist his " Study of Words" is, perhaps, his most popular book; but literary men know that he is one of the projectors of the new English dic tionary—the design of which he introduced to the world with his essay " On the deficiencies of our English Dictionaries." In his views the new archbishop is High Church—as the Bishop of Oxford is High Church, with large sympathies for all sections within the Church, and without the slightest particle of intolerance or fanacticism in his composition. If he is equally on good terms with the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Maurice, Mr. Thackeray, and Lord Houghton, it may be safely said that he will never be liable to the charge of illiberality. He is likely to be an ornament to his native country, and the mainstay of her Church in days which may be critical. Dean Trench married, in 1832, the Hon. Frances Mary, sister of the present Lord Ashtown, and daughter of Mr. Frederic Trench, brother of the first peer, by whom he has had a very large family. NADAR'S GIANT BALLOON, The interest excited by M. Nadar's gigantic balloon and its two ascents from the Champ de Mars in Paris, with the perils of its descents, so graphically described in the French journals, has led to an arrangement by which, for a few days only, it will be exhibited in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace. In order that some idea may be formed of the magnitude of this vast aerial machine, it may be stated that it so far exceeds in height the great transept of the Palace that the nacelle (or car) cannot be placed in its proper position be neath the balloon, but must be exhibited detached from it. But for the Crystal Palace it would not have been pos sible for the English public to have had the opportunity of seeing this great machine ; for at this stormy period of the year ascensions or oat-door exhibitions of it are alike im practicable, and no other building of sufficient height is roof of o f transept sm a available i n w hi c h to exhibit it. In the Palace it will be ile euriou froms contrivances the inflated with a t mospheric air, aid consequently be partly suspended floor of the c ar , w i t h the various appurtenances provided llr ' rooms , in the lower by M. Nadar for his aerial voyage, will be regarded with great interest, as will also the " Compensator," or second balloon, which is intended to receive the spare gas when the large balloon becomes too much distended by the diminished density of the atmosphere, As may be supposed, the weight of this great balloon is not inconsiderable; when also it is borne in mind that at the last ascent in the Champ de Mars, in the presence of the Emperor and of the King of Greece, it raised 35 per sons readily from the ground, i 1 will give some idea of the ascending power which is gained by the 215,000 cubic feet of gas with which it was inflated. To judge of the interest it has excited abroad it may be stated that the royal family of Hanover repeatedly visited the balloos,und that the car was delayed at the railway station some days that it might be impacted by a host o f distinguished person, The palace will remain open during the exhibitio n o f th e balloon at the usual charge of ls., and as it will probably be more convenient to many persons to visit it late in the after noon, the Palace will be lightedup each evenin g till seven o'clock. Arrangements have also been made by whi c h trains from the North London Railway at Bow and t ' inter mediate stations will run direct to tt ,, .ePalsee i tickets, in cluding admission to the Palace, being issued by rat wai h c e c om a p r n y, a arrived at Folkeston on Saturday, and was to be Tat the Palace in the evening. The balloon itself, in charge of M. Nadar's assist an t s , was to leave Paris on Saturday courseuight, and is expected to arrive at the Palace in the course of to-day. THE NAVY. The screw launch Experiment, fitted with twin screws driven by double cylinder engines of 3-horse collective power (nominal), made her second official trial at Portsmouth, on Saturday, under the supervision of Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, the trial being conducted by Mr. J. Ward, assistant to the chief engineer of Portsmouth dockyard, and Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat. The wind was from the eastward, raising a slight swell on the water that was rather against the chance of the vessel exhibiting her hightest possible rate of speed. A reference to the figures appended will, however, show that the speed attained on the present trial was rather in excess of that on the first trial ; but, as a higher and more uniform pressure of steam was maintained on the present than on the previous trial, there is no doubt that had the conditions of force of wind and smoothness of water been equal, the experiments would have realised a speed of seven knots. On reaching the measured mile in Stokes-bay four runs were made, with both propellers working, with the following results :-Ist run 6.394 knots. steam pressure 601bs. ; 2d, 7 . 111 knots, steam pressure, 621b5.; 3d, 6,428 knots, steam pressure 621bs. ; 4th, 7.128 knots, steam pressure 641bs. The mean speed of the four runs was 6.780 knots. The evolutions of the engines ranged fr.= 302 to 304. Two runs were made with one propeller (the port) only working, the results being :-Ist run, 4.551 knots, steam pressure 601bs. ; 2d, 4 675 knots, steam pres sure 601bs. The mean speed was 4.613 knots, the revolu• tion of engines ranged from 320 to 360. These results being found sufficiently conclusive as to the boat's speed, using both or only one propeller, she was next tested in making circles, which were completed as follows :—With both propellers going ahead—Half circle to starboard, 35 sec. ; to port, 32 sec. ; fall circle, to starboard, 1 min, 8 82C. ;to port, 1 min, 8 sec. The diameter of the circle was nearly three times the boat's length. With one propeller driving ahead and the other astern, the following results were obtained, the boat, as will be anticipated from previous trials with twin screw vessels when driving their screws in opposite directions, revolving after the fashion of a turn table, but with a spiral motion astern :—Half circle, to starboard, 35 sec. ; to port, 32 sec: ; full circle to starboard, 1 min. 57 sec. ;to port, 1 min. 37 sec. It will be seen that in twisting the boat round a circle the diameter of which is her own length, a somewhat longer time is occupied than in going round one three times her length. In the one in stance speed is sacrificed to the circle's diameter, and in the other instance it is the reverse. The power of steering the boat by the screws alone was next tested, and was at tended with the same certain result which has always attended a similar experiment with twin screws. In fact the boat, it was found, could be steered by her screws alone with a precision and ease equal, if not superior, to what would have attended the uee of her rudder. This exactness or ease may not probably be found so readily attainable in a vessel of large tonnage, but there can be no possible doubt that a vessel of any tonnage may be , steered with perfect safety in the Thames, or any other river having a sufficient depth of water, by her screws alone and without any rudder. Some farther trials will be made at Portsmouth with the Experiment, it being intended to try her with her masts and sail on board, and her bow gun and carriage fixed in their positions, and with her other stores on board. It is very likely that this last trial will not be attended with the most satisfactory results, as the boat would then be too deep in the water either for speed or sea • worthiness, It is the intention of the Admiralty to fit all launches of first-class ships in the same manner in which the Experiment is fitted, and simply as steam-tenders or tow-boats they will be invaluable to the ship they belong to. Towing the ship's boats, with their respective crews on board, or any armed expedition, with her own crew as riflemen, but with no big gun, the steam launch would move along at a good speed ; but the load of a heavy gun and its ammunition and masts and sails would so reduce her speed as to render her all but useless as a towing vessel to the other boats of the ship. With a ship's launch steam • ing up an enemy's river with the other boats of the ship in tow the crews of the latter would not expose themselves in rowing, and, in addition, could bring their rifles to bear on the river's banks from under the cover of their boats' bul warks, if not engaged in working the boat's gun, The Rus sians have for some time supplied single screw .steam launches to their ships oa foreign service, and use them chiefly as a mesas of transport, Her Majesty's ship Warrior will, it is expected, be the first vessel in the British Navy I that will be supplied with one of the twin screw launches. The Orontes, screw iron troopship, Capt. W. H. Hire, arrived at Spithead, late on Friday evening, from Malta and Gibraltar. The military invalids were transferred from the ship on iaturday to Netley Hospital, and the time-expired men, women, and children, insane men and prisoners, to the depots of their regiments, &c. The naval invalids were transferred to her Majesty's ship Victory, and the Royal and Naval Hospital at Hasler. Two warders and 32 con victs (the latter are tickets-of-leave), who also came from Gibraltar in the ship, were transferred to the convict prism at Portsea. Some 700 tons of old stores and a large quantity of condemned powder has been sent to England in the ship rom Malta and Gibraltar. The Orontes sailed from Malta on the 31st ult., leaving at anchor there her Majesty's ship s Hydra, Procris, and Redpole. The Malacca, 20, screl,v) sailed from the Rock for England on the 20th ult. The Gib raltar, screw, liner, Capt. Prevost, sailed for Malta on the 31st ult. The Racoon, 20, screw, Capt. Count Gleichen, was lying at Malaga. At Malta there was dullness of trade, and consequent grumbling ashore, owing to the lengthened ab sence of the fleet at the Piraeus. Since leaving England the Orontes has done very efficient service in the Mediterranean in the exchange of regiments between Malta and Gibraltar, and in the performance of vehicle duty the conduct and at tention to the wants of their military passengers of Capt. Hire and his officers are spoken of in very high terms. It is, however, stated that although the Orontes was designed end constructed for an improved Himalaya, she is, in fact, very far from being even the equal of that vessel. Her ma chinery is of insufficient power, and she can with difficulty average 10 knots. Her steering power is also defective, her wheel requiring considerable alterations. At present it takes six men in ordinary weather to steer her. She is an excellent sea boat and remarkably easy in rough weather. Her immediate requirements (to make her approach the Himalaya in comfort to her passengers and speed) are, a poop on the upper deck, and the present cabin space on the main deck added to the troop berthing ; some alterations to her machinery, and additional boiler space. It will take about three weeks to make good her ordinary defects. The crew of the screw steamship Desperate, 8, were paid off on Saturday at Devonport, in the presence of Admiral. Superintendent Symonds. The sloop will be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam-tender Sprightly, from Parts. mouth, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, with supernume raries for the Royal Adelaide. The Emerald, 35, screw steam -frigate, 2,913 tons, 600- horse power, Capt. A. Cumming, which r e c en tl y f ormed one was paid out of commission by of the Chansel squadron, Capt. Charles Wise, A.D.C., Superintendent of .Sheerness dockyard, on Saturday. On Friday the officers of the dock yard and Sheerness Steam Reserve i nspected the vessel and machinery, and she is to be placed in the 3d division of the Steam Reserve. The sailing transport Empress, belonging to Messrs. Houlder Brothers, taken up by the -War Department for the transport of the 4th battalion Military Train. to Auck land, New Zealand, sailed from Woolwich pier yesterday morning, in tow of two steamtugs as far as the Nore. The ship's hold was stowed well up with war stores of every de scription, consisting of guns, trenching tools, tents, forage, hospital comforts, and an immense number 10 0 tons mea surement, of cases filled with saddlery, harness, &c., amounting to surement, and 100 tons of powder and ammunition in her magazines. A large number of sheep, p i gs; and poultry were shipped for the voyage, and a patent distilling appa gallons of fresh w a t er per day. The ratus will supply E5O married officers and a proportionate number of the men are accompanied by their wives and families, The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. IL R, Berners, to the Liffey; Lieut, H. C. Onslow, to the Tamar; Arthur Blennerhassen, mid shipman, to the Royalist; Ja s. H. Wa llis; a • ssist. • surgeon, to the Cumberland; Arthur J.

The result of the offi.3ial inquiry into the circumstances connected with the origin of the fire at Aldershott Camp on Friday has not be en divul g ed. It is neverthless known unofficially that the stable in which th e out b reak occurred was; visited by a man appointed under a con t ractor for the purpose of trimming the lamps just previous to the occur rence of the fire, and one of the posts to which a lamp was attached was found ignited by the sentry on duty i n th e building, but could not bo extinguished before the flames had obtained overwhelming mastery. Representationshave more than once been made to the War-office authorities re specting the unfitness of the temporary stables in camp, both as regards the material of which they were constructed and the probable effects of weather on the horses quartered in such buildings—but the answer has been in every case " that there were no funds which could be devoted to the erection of more permanent and suitable buildings." The space which the burnt stables occnpied has been cleared, and the bodies of the animals destroyed have been buried by the side of the Basingstoke Canal. The two companies of the 7Gth Regiment left at Alder shott for the purpose of filling up with volunteers to the re quired Indian strength will leave about the .20th inst. for Madras. A, large number a Smart young Men have joined COURT OF EXCHEQUER. _ __ - - On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, his Lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civic par ty took a standing position in front of the bench reserved for Queen's counsel. The RECORDER then addressed the Court and sa id —My Lord Chief Baron, I have the honour to introduce to your lordship and this Court the Right Hon. William Lawrence, elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year ensu i ng , The gracious approval of her Majesty has ratified the choice of the citizens, and now his lord ship appears before the Court to complete the forms required for one e ntering upon the p er f ormance of suc h a responsible and important office. The learned gentleman after proceeded to give a brief outline of the career of th e new Lord Mayor, who, he rema rked, an , had carried on a m ver y extensive business fo r years, and in all his dealings had been characterised by honour and integrity. He concluded by saying that Alderman Lawrence was held in the highest esteem by his fellow-citizens. The LORD CIUEF BARON congratulated Alder man Lawrence upon having attained the honour so highly-prized and citizen, viz,, that eagerly sought after by every London and. Ch. of being elected Lord Mayor of Re Was Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon don. not one of those who thought the present procee di ng an idle and unnecessary pageant, because the new Lord Mayor appeared before the Court to C l a i m certain rights and privileges which have belonged to the City from time immemorial. He felt much gratified at the account he had heard from the learned Recorder, and he had no doubt that during his lordship's year of office he would exert him self to perform his duties in the most advantageous and efficient manner, that he was certain he would succeed, so that at its termination he would con tinue to deserve the good opinion of his 1011o: s citizens. Tho Lord Chief Baron concluded remarks by congratulating Alderman _hose . 1 1 manner he had fulfilled hi s term of cfiiee, embracing as it did some of the most important ev ents that had occurred for many years.

The lat e L or d May or was also' s worn to render unt o h er Majesty a. full account of the receipts on account of the Crown during his Mayoralty, and "to behave himself Properly" accoi :ding to the old form of oath, whilst h e did so. The other form alities having been gone through SCENE AT A PRIZE FIGHT. A prize fight lat2ly came off between Tom Daly and Billy M'Grath, at the Washoo race track, Virginia. After 14 rounds had been fought, a blow was struck which was voted" foul," which resulted in the following scene :—" Harry Lazarus had been betting freely on M'Grath, and was loud in his denunciation of the referee, and everybody who agreed with him in his decision. A Mexican named Maldonado, alias " Muchach," had been betting on Daly, and kept crying out that the blow was foul. Lazarus called him a liar, and pistols were immedi ately drawn. It is impossible to say who drew first ; it was enough to do to get out of the way. As soon as Lazarus and "Muchach" commenced firing, two or three were otherl,o parties oo joined oro o m 12 i n ,a . e n Aboutlarge r g the e r i n g numberat of thil: timeor ses, in vehicles and otherwise, and the excite ment and confusion that ensued beggar all descrip tion. The firing and the deafening shouts and yells of the combatants and surging crowd frightened many horses, whose rearing and plunging i o ng a s l e l r i v n ed th to e add to the danger and consternationuu vicinity. Two horses were shot in the melee, and the only wonder is that more men were not struck by the random pistol balls that flew singing through the air in every direction. Returning to the ring we found it almost deserted, the wounded men " Muchach" and Lazarus, having been carried to the saloon near the gate of the enclosure. Thither we repaired, and found " Muchach" lying on a table, stripped to the waist, with a ball hole in his right breast close to the nipple, another near the pit of his stomach, and we were told that another ball had entered his side, and another struck one of his arms. On another table, stripped likewise to the waist, lay Harry Lazarus. One ball struck him in the breast, pretty high up, about two inches above the right nipple ; another ball had so shattered the fin2ers of his right hand that it was found necessary to ampatate two of them after his removal to Waslaoe city. His hand was struck while he lc" in the act of levelling his pistol, and it is thought that the bail which entered his breast wss the same that shattered'his fingers.—American Paper' ov E DG WOOD," SILVERPEN'S " LIFE OF SWIM" the Messrs.
