Notwithstanding that several new Marine Insurance Com panies have been established within the last few years, it is generally recognised that the means of effecting marine in sur,tnces are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion of trade, insurers being now driven to effect their insurances in remote towns in the provinces, in Ireland and Scotland, and on the Continents of Europe and America. The actual prig: of shares in the existing Marine Insur ance Companies demonstrate clearly that the business is highly remunerative. Of th new Companies one only has been established in Liverpool, and it has already secured a very large and lucra tive business. More than half the exports and imports of the kingdom pass through the port of Liverpool, and there is no doubt, therefore, that another Company having its Chief Offices in London and Liverpool will meet with ample support. Under these circumstances tie British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company has bean established. The business of the Company will be confined to the issu ing of policies on freight and goods only, and it is expressly provided, as a fundamental element in the constitution of this Company, that no insurance shall be effected on the ships themselves. The principle of limited liability, as applicable to insurance companies, came into operation during the month of Novem ber last. The Directors, observing that in bankiug and other important commercial enterprises limited liability has met w , th universal favour, have adopted it as an unalterable principle in the present undertaking. The Directors, therefore, express the greatest confidence in the success of this Company. Such rovision has been made by the Directors for the pre liminary exp, uses as will secure the Company against pay ing any promotion money. A copy of the articles of association lies at the offices of the Company for inspection. The prospectus and forms of applications for shares may be obtained of the brokers of the k ompany.

The City of London and General Fire and Life Insurance Company (Limited) is established under the new Act, whereby the liability is strictly Limited, and on no speculative basis, but to supply an urgent and growing public want. It com mences under most influential auspices, and with support secured both in the metropolis and in some of the principal provincial centres of business and wealth. The lucrative and important business of fire insurance is, in various respects, in an anomalous condit on, involving hard ships to many holders of insurable property, and obstructing tne natural development of transactions. The value insured against fire in the United Kingdom is increasing and must continue to do so, in virtue of the general increase of wealth, and, still more, of intelligence. Between 1851 and 1861 it had advanced fro m£858,000,000 to the vast amount of £1,200,G00,000. But, considering the progress of public knowledge, respect ing the advantages and duty of insuring, and that the insur able property in the country is estimated at above £4,000,0 0, 00, the amount so protected would beyond doubt be very much larger, but for the obstructions just indicated. The success which has attended the offices established since the great fire of Tooley-street, as evinced in their first re ports, and who have substantially carried out tie principles, recommended at the Mansion House meeting, of charging fair and moderate ad valorem premiums upon each class o risk, and of not inflicting on the insured an arbitrary and sometimes extortionate tariff, shows the willingness of the public to support a more equitable system ; but as no one office can go beyond a certain line of risk upon individual in surances, and the combined offices refuse to do business at any but the tariff or arbitrary rates, it is impossible for them, with that prudence so desirable in new offices, to meet the demands upon its services. The mercantile and other important classes are compelled to pay what they consider to be unfair and immoderate rates, or to remain inadequately protected—in very many instances choosing the latter alternative. Under these circumstances, and considering the great and expanding field presented for lucrative operations, it might be expected that new establishments would be founded to take advantage of so favourable an opportunity. This is the prominent object of the City of London and Genera! Fire and Life Insurance Company Limited. At the outset, the directors pledge themselves that at ne time will they recognise the vexatious system of arbitrary charges, and that their operations shall be apractical protest against it. It may be satisfactory to observe, that this is no "pro moter's company ;" that there will be no promoters' claims to subtract from the shareholders' capital and profits, as it is brought forward purely upon mercantile grounds, with the cordial friendship and concurrence of practical men of busi ness who have personally felt the necessity for it, and will take an active interest in its career. Many of the offices which have attained the most d stinguished success have arisen un der similar influences, which constitute the soundest origin for an institution of this class. It is intended to establish offices in Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, and other important districts, where powerful connections and extensive circles of supporters are ormed. Of the life department it will hire suffice to observe that it will be conducted in accordance with the spirit of genuine and progressive improvement, and basedupon the principle which as invariably obtained suczess —that of presenting alike to policy holders and shareholders the largest measure of profit compatible with perfect security and enduring benefit. geteyreaml managementbracingthe two great classes of insurance in one (whilst keeping the special administra tion of each chati nc t) , the important objects of economy and of ene getic action are served. With such an arena for advantageous operations, the direc tors feel justified in bringing this institution to the notice Of investors, as one possessing is an eminent degree the ele ments of great success.

It is admitted that a first-class Hotel is required in the vicinity of Lincoln's-inn-fields, and the D rectors of this Company have, with a view to supply such an acknowledged requirement, secured (on advan ..us:,terms) the Freehold of the "George and Blue Boars o,r in Holborn, and the Boilinoffice and Stables, in- :4aocupation of Messrs.

Toe Hotel will have two entrances—one in Holborn, the other in Lincoln's-inn-fields. In addition to the ordinary Hotel accommodation, it is nro posed to set apart a suite of handsome Ro ens, facing Lin coln's-inn-fields, for a Club, similar to the West-end Clubs, for the accommodation of Barristers. There will also be in this part of the proposed Building several Reference Rooms, for toe convenience of Solicitors and others.

The British and American Exchange Banking Corporation (Limited' is formed for the purpose chiefly of dealing in Ex changes, a business which, excepting with British posses sions, has hitherto been mainly in the hands of private firms; and it is well known that with many countries such banking facilities have not been afforded to merchants and others as the vastly extended commerce of the present day demands. This- is -particularly_the case in the , trade between England and America, and it is i , roinsed that this Corporation shall commence its operations by the establishment of an agency in Nt w York. . . The profitable nature of exchange badness is well known, especially that with the American States, and although the profit is at present greater than can be calculated upon in ordinary years, there is general y a much larger margin than is usually found remunerative by bankers. The purchase and sale on commission of securities in New York and London, the dealings in which amount annually to many millions sterling, and the remittances of interest and dividends, will afford other sources of profit. The practice now become very general of attaching bills of lading to bills of exchange as collateral security, renders ex change operations more than usually safe, whilst the ship ment of gold involves scarcely any risk whatever. The shipments of produce and specie from New York alone for the past year have amounted to nearly forty millions sterling, and the average of several years has not been much less. There is thus a very extended field for the ope rations of the Corporation, and the facilities which it will afford, both in this country and America, must tend to pro mote, and still further to extend, the commercial and mone tary transactions between the two countries. The same remarks are applicable to other places in which the establishment of agencies is contemplated. A large business is also anticipated betwixt America and the ports in India and China, which will be carried out in co operation with the Oriental Bank Corporation. The success of Joint-stock Banks dealing in Exchange is evidenced by the present quotations of the shares of the un dermentioned companies ; and it is somewhat remarkable that the joint-stock principle has not yet been adopted in the American trade, t.ough presenting a wider field for its profit able operation than any other part of the world.

The application of the joint-stock principle to Banking and Exchanges, under the control and general management of boards of directors in London, has proved so eminently suc cess ful in the British colonies and dependencies, more parti cularly in the East and West Indies, that it is deemed expe dient to introduce that system into the Continent of Europe, with which our commercial intercourse is now so great as to demand additional facilities and safety in support of our mu tual monetary transactions. Banking on the English system, and with English capital, has already been applied with success to foreign countries in the instances of the Ottoman Bank as regards Turkey, and the Bank of Egypt in Egypt, both conducted under Royal Charters of Incorporation. Other companies have more re cently been established, with similar objects, under the Limited Liability Act. The Directors propose to take powers to apply for a special Charter for this Bank. In the limits of a prospectus it is impossible tc enter into full details, but official statistics are available to show the increase in the totals of our imports and exports of merchan dise with the principal countries of Central Europe, between the years 185 s and 1861, which may be briefly given thus : With France, from 17 to 35 millions ; with Germany, from 16 to 19 millions ; with Holland, from 13 to 18 millions ; with Italy, from 5 to 9 millions; and with Spain, from 5 to 8 mil lions sterling. It may be useful to recall the fact, 'as stated by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, "that the export trade between England and France alone, which, before the recent Inter national Treaty, averaged, in the two years preceding the the shFararlsayon T mee e r a r tni:d a dee : Treaty, nekp s nyl f u isoek r tar p e rit a timh s yh s epe e a n d vprrenge l ot , eOtoofobe temporaryf , feature, luleueir'orae' dealings ifp n Treaty, only £9,402,000 per annum, has, in the first year of s th oeincreaserr the ae forma l i t c h u awr which, yi neces sary hewc:i in gold and silver, is about 80 millions sterling ; the business originating in these vast transactions has, hitherto, been en joyed by a few firms of known wealth, The Continental Bank Corporation has for its object to facilitate the commercial and financial business between the United Kingdom and the European Continent, and to carry out, on an extensive scale, operations in bullion and ex change ; and it is confidently anticipated that, by extending to importers and exporters accommodation on an enlightened and liberal scale, a large proportion of such business will be secured to the present undertaking. The Head Office of the Bank will be in London, and the first branch will be established in Paris, not only on account t Aipoar American ri a h n i c market.kalo n e of the magnitude of our dealings with that city, but because it is a great financial centre, second only to London.

Bingham, Deputy-Adjutant-General, Royal Artillery, has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of his Royal Highness the Field Mar shal Commanding-in-Chief : "1. The entire equipment of each battery is to be in spected by the three senior officers present, by whom a list of such items as are found unserviceable or repairable, but beyond repair by the artificers of the battery, should be drawn up. The stores included in these lists are to be de scribed in full detail, to avoid the condemnation of ether than unserviceable portions. " 2. The list mentioned in No. 1 to be submitted to the general officer commanding, with an application for the as sembly of a mixed Board of Survey, the president of which should, when practicable, be a regimental field officer, and the members captains of the mounted .ervices (not,howeverl belonging to the batteries whose stores are to be surveyed), and officers of the military store department. "3. It is remarked that several instances have occurred, during the last year, of stores which were not really in an unserviceable condition, being condemned by Boards of Survey, and also of stores,which have become unserviceable from improper usage, being returned as worn from fair wear. As all the stores returned to the Royal Arsenal are subjected to inspection under the orders of the Secretary of State for War, it is absolutely necessary that the officers comprising the military Boards of Survey should carefully guard against the possibility of the accuracy of their report, either as to the:actual condition of the stores examined, or of causes to which their unserviceableness is attributable, being after wards questioned. In the instances alluded to the stores have had to be returned to the batteries for further service, and those issued in their stead withdrawn, and the value of articles which had become unserviceable from the un fair usage (especially corn bags, which were found to have been worn out in cleaning, collar-chains, &c.), has been claimed from the batteries concerned. The officers on whom the preparation of the lists mentioned in No. 1 devolves, from their connection with the batteries, have full knowledge, or the means of obtaining information as to the stores they are reporting for survey, and they are enjoined to insert in those lists all such information as will enable the Boards to determine whether or not the condition of the several articles is attributable to fair wear and tear. "4. The reports of survey, which are to be prepared in duplicate, are, atter confirmation by the commanding offi cer, to be transmitted to the /...djt.-Gen in duplicate, with the annual requisition for stores for 1863-4. . 4 6. To prevent any misapprehenaien nn the part of any officers composing the Boards of Survey as to the responsi bility they incur in this duty this memorandum is to be sub mitted to the Board when they assemble. The demands, as well as exhibiting the wants of the batteries, are to show the establishment and the quantities of stores in every par ticular on charge at the date the documents bear. The number of horses for which provision is made in the de mands to be conspicuously noted on the face of the form; any horses of the staff attached to batteries being distin guished from those of the batteries to account for horse ne cessaries for them being included in the demands. Where, owing to previous stores being due on previous requisitions, the quantities on hand and those demanded do not, together, equal the establishment, the number so due to be noted in the column of remarks. When the requisitions shall have had noted on them the extent to which the military store de partment in the districts can meet the requirements of the service, the demands and survey reports are despatched to commanding officers of brigades." A War-office circular, addressed by the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for War to officers corn- mending Royal Artillery, superintendents of stores, and barrack-masters, has been received at Chatham, directing that all returns of gunpowder, small-arm ammunition, serviceable small-arms, repairable and unserviceable small-arms, camp equipage, and filled cannon cartridges be, in future, punctually ren dered to the proper authorities, made up to the last day of each quarter. Yesterday the 10th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. E. D. Malcolm, marched into Chatham garrison, preceded by the baud of the corps, from Aldershott camp. On reach ' ing head-quarters at Brompton barracks the com pany was inspected by Col. Harness, C.B. The 10th company, which during its stay at Aldershott has been reduced below its proper strength, will be raised to its full complement from the depot com panies at head-quarters, and be put through a com plete course of field-work instruction, in readiness for embarkation for India or the colonies. At a late hour on Thursday night, as Lieut.-Col. Browne, C. 8., R.E., was going his rounds at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, he was thrown violently from his horse, by which he sus tained some severe injuries. The spot at which the accident occurred was at the north gun-shed, near the Crimean memorial arch, where there are some chains stretched across the open space in dangerous proximity to the public road. Col. Browne, not being aware of the chains being placed there, rode his horse at full gallop against them, when the ani mal stumbled and threw the rider with great force to the ground. He was immediately picked up and conveyed to his quarters, where it was found that he had received several severe cuts about the head and face. He was in somewhat delicate health, his constitution being rather weak from the effects of several wounds he received some years since. This is not the only accident which has occurred at this spot from the same chains. THE NAVY. The Termagant, screw steam frigate, Capt: R. Hall, after being officially inspected, was paid off yesterday morning under the superintendence of Capt. Henry Broadhead, of the Steam Reserve. Notwithstanding the shortness of the day, the brief time that has elapsed since her arrival, and the continuance of wet weather, the ship was ready for inspection, and her condition was highly satisfac tory.i The men left the pay-table i n most execineints order, owing principally to the good a n n umber g of made by the captain, in not suffering men and women alongside o r on board at the time paying off. The following w the Lords of the Admiralty for the rec ommended to e receipt of med a l s and gratuities :—Georg e Robbins, leading s t o k er • John Meek, s hip's cook ; and Joseph 1 J'lk 8 , private Royal Marine L.I. The manner in which the Ter magant has performed her work since her being put in commission by Capt. Hall has been such as to call forth a complimentary letter from the Lords of the Admiralty to that officer. The Termagant will be placed in the third class Steam Reserve. PR1CE.....—..1d. STAMPED ....sd. Since leaving England she has steamed 67,592 miles. The drawings and model of the shot-proof turret which it has been decided to place on the upper a deck of the Royal Oak armour-cased frigate, pre paring commenced Admiralty, , C t li h a e Chatham, having mechanics havebeen approvedmeneed a t its erection. The position of the turret is about 12ft. abaft the mainmast , w hich is the most convenient situation in which it can can be placed. Its shape is an oval of about 4 ft. at its g re atest diameter, rising to about Bft. or 10ft, from the deck. It will be protected by armour plates, so as to render it perfectly shot-proof. The object of the turret is to enable the captain, or other officer in charge of the vessel, to direct its movements during the time of action, while at the same time he is entirely pro • rected from danger. Considerable progress has been made in the work of rigging the Royal Oak, and a great deal of her standing wire rigging is already fixed. All is energy and hustle on board, every effort being used on the part of the dock yard officials to have the vessel completed for sea. Under the eye of an energetic commanding officer, however, much greater progress would be made in the work of completing her than is possible under the present dockyard system. It was ru moured in naval circles at Chatham yesterday that Capt. W. G. Luard (March 11, 1857) would, in all probability, be appointed to the Royal Oak from the Formidable, 84, flagship at the Nore. Sir Richard Mayne, accompanied by Superin tendent Mallalieu, was yesterday occupied the en tire day in the inspection of the Chatham division of the Metropolitan Police doing duty at the dock-, yard and the other Government establishments. In the course of the morning he inspected the quar ters for the married police officers which are on the eve of completion in the dockyard, and also visited the ordnance and gunwharf ; both establishments have recently been placed under the charge of the dockyard police. In the afternoon the members of the police force were mustered and inspected by the Chief Commissioner, the whole of the men being dressed in their new uniforms just issued. The other portion of the day was occupied in witness ing the police-constables go through their fire engine drill, and in the inspection of the official documents relating to the division. THE ROYAL NAVAL FORCES. The following is a full statement of the condition of the Royal Navy at the present time. It shows that the navy of England consists of 841 vessels of all classes, exclusive of which there are now under construction at the various Government and private yards 47 others, many of which are in a very advanced state for launching. Of the above there are 287 in commission doing duty in various parts of the globe.

An examination of the Navy List would seem to justify the conclusion that the Admiralty intend to make a consi derable diminution in the estimate of expenses for sea going ships. It is a remarkable fact that no less than 16 vessels have been paid out of commission during the past quarter, including five-line-of-battle ships.

To supply the vacancies of the 33 ships paid off or under orders to return home, there have been only seven com missioned during the pa st quarter, viz. Egmont, 4, Captain F. A. B.

Hood, for North America and the West Indies. Shearwater; 11, .150 horse power, Commander R. G. Douglas, for the Pacific. Vindictive, 2, Master Commander F. F. Lew, for service as a store ship at Fernando Po. Of - these, - two are merely store and receiving ships, and cannot, therefore, be accounted effective men of war. It is very clear, also, that during the ensuing quarter no material addition will be made to the numerical strength of the navy. At Portsmouth there are at present only three ships under orders to be brought forward for speedy commission, viz., the Frederick William, 82, the Curagoa, 31, and the Esk, 21, although the harbour is crowded with ships in reserve, the majority of them being in the second, third, and fourth classes. It will be observed that most of the homeward bound ships are from the East India and China station. It is not improbable that the Admiralty contemplate a perma nent reduction of the force in these waters, owing to the formation of the Anglo-Chinese squadron, under the com mand of Captain Sherard Osborn. The maintenance of a large English force in China involves an enormous cost to this country, which may, to a large extent, be avoided under the new arrangement without causing any serious injury to British interests in China. The presence of Cap tain Osborn with a small but effective force is a sufficient guarantee that both pirates and rebels will be closely watched in the neighbourhood of treaty ports, and will form a valuable auxiliary to the squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Kuper. No intimation, however, is given as to the future policy of the Admiralty, and we can, there fore, only draw these inferences from the facts which are apparent.—Hampshire Telegraph. BANK OF FRANCE.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 9.—There has not been very much business to-day in the yarn market, but prices have been very firm. Sellers report that there has not been the slightest giving way. There are plenty of orders in the market, but merchants are pausing, in consequence of the slowness of the cotton market at Liverpool. Stocks are now getting very much reduced in all descriptions of yarn, and spinners seem very confident that they will yet be able to obtain much better prices. For cloths we have also had a very quiet market. Almost the only business reported in the shipping market is in long cloths for Alexandria, and this meets with some discou ragement owing to the high prices required. Manu facturers are rather more inclined to make some con cession than they were 011 Tuesday, with a view to obtain orders, but not to a point which meets the wishes of shippers. The quietness of the Liverpool market has rather weakened the hands of sellers today, while it encourages buyers to withhold orders. For shirtings, suitable to India, there was a marked absence of business. Manufacturers of these goods would probably be rather easier to deal with, but buyers seem resolutely disposed to abstain from business. In printing cloths, T cloths, and domestics, but little has been done, but home trade houses report a steady and slightly improving de mand from drapers, and more business is conse quently expected in the home trade before long. this port to 109,793 CARDIFF, Bth.—The shipments of coal from 3 p 5 0 2 r . t s t o o n f s iron aga for port for the month of December amounted the corresponding tons, against 96,015 tons The iron trade con tinuesmonth of last year.

There is but an indifferent inquiry for steam coals. SHIPBUILDING IN LIVERPOOL.-0 wing to tho unprecedented demand for iron ships, and the high repu tation Liverpool has attained for building iron sailin vessels, the yards during the past year have been in greater activity than was ever known before. This de mand is attributable to the fact that iron ships can now be built at considerably less cost than wooden ones, and are in point of durability much superior. The formation of an underwriters' associa•ion at Liverpool to class iron vessels on their merits for periods varying up to 22 years has ha , l the effect of causing Lloyds to alter their rules which had hitherto militated against progress in iron ship building. At a rough estimate the tonnage of iron vessels built in Liverpool during 1862 may be set down at 20,00.0 tons, and the tonnage of wooden ones at 6,000 tons. This , however, is exclusive of the vessels b uilt by Messrs. Laird at Birkenhead, whose operation s have been very extensive, as on hand to the hefact ten th ex at t of those gentlemen have at between 18,000 presentma y b o judgedorders an and 19,000 tons.
