FIRE 'BRANCH. The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum of . ..... £341,668 Being an advance of 40,977 rlou)ver 1862 year; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre. s. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to G overnment in 1862 was Ditto ditto, 1863 88,966 Showing an Increase In one year of ...... £12,973 Among the incidents which have tended to the advance ment of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned its action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although only consistent with the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti mately proved to be no more than what had been done in for mer times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable among its co ntemporaries, yet att rac t e d a tt en ti on an d public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attained in the present year, so it Happens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted to .C 83,515 ; of which sum £34, MO only has been appropriated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of 5.49,444 been carried to Reserve. BRANC. The progress of the LIFE Life Branch, H as shown by the New Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last five years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums, 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 . 752,546 18 10 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as larger than any which could have been reasonably expected. The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Milton sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is concluded.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which had ranged in August above 1,400 weekly, declined to 1,352 in the week that ended last Saturday. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age fell from SOO and upwards to 752. The average number of deaths in the 30th week of the 10 years, 1854-63, is, with the exelu.ion of death from epide mic cholera in 1854, and with a correction for increase of population, 1,211. But the actual number returned for last week exhibits an excess of 140 above the number thus esti mated. Diarrhoea has now perceptibly decreased. It rose to its maximum in the first week in August, when the deaths from it were 286 ; in the last week of that month they wore 180, and last week 132, The mean temperature of the air in the first week of August was 65 deg, last week it was 61.1 deg.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.805 in. The reading was 29.55 in. on Sunday, and rose to 29'92in. on Monday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 611 deg, which is 3.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The lowest night temperature was 48.4 deg. on Tuesday. The highest day temperature was 75.5 deg. on Thursday, The range of tem perature in the week was therefore 271 deg. The mean daily range was 14.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 71 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76, complete saturation being represented by 100. The humidity was only 60 on Monday, when the wind was in the north-west. It rose to 91 on the following day, when the wind was in the south-west, from which point the wind continued to blow during the remainder of the week. Rain fell to the amount of o:39in.

From the number of arrivals yesterday and to-day it may now be fairly anticipated that the meeting of the Associa tion in this city will be most successful. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon nearly 1,500 tickets had been sold—a consi derably larger number than has hitherto been issued on the day before the proceedings commence. The demand for hotel accommodation and private lodgings has been great, but fortunately for strangers Bath, unlike many other places visited by this association, has this recommendation, that it has always a large number of spacious and elegant apart ments available for almost any number of visitors. Prices have not therefore been excessive, and every possible faci lity has been afforded by the e xcellent s y stem of registration both for extent of accommodatio n and p rice established at the Reception-room. Great interest appears to be attached to the inaugural address of Sir Charles Lyell, the now President, which will be delivered to-morrow evening, and which it is expected will make special reference to the thermal and mineral waters of Bath. The sections will commence their proceedings on the fol lowing morning. Of these there are :—A. Mathematical and Physical Science B. Chemical Science ;C. Geology; D. Zoology and Botany, including Physiology ; E. Geography and Ethnology; F. Economic Science and Statistics; and G. Mechanical Science, Sections C., E., and F. are likely to prove the most interesting. In C. an interesting paper will be read by Mr Bristow on the Geological Survey. Sir Wm. Logan, director of the Geological Survey of Canada, has brought for inspection by the association a large box of fossils of a much more ancient character than any that have been previously discovered, In Section E, presided over by Sir R. Murchison, papers will be read by Captain Speke, Captain Burton, Sir H. Rawlinson, and M. Khanikeff, the Russian geographer. In Section F, Economic Science and Statistics, several sanitary papers are to be read, among others, by Dr Wilson, on Cheltenham; by Mr A. B. Middleton, on Salisbury; by Dr Symonds, o n Clift on ; by M r Tit e , on the" Health Statistics of Paris in Connection with its Street Improve ments and by Mr Samuel Brown upon the " Mortality of Europeans in India." Col. Torrens will read a paper upon the " Con veyance of Title by Registration as applicable to Ireland." Mr Westgarth will bring to the section ‘‘ Some Statistics of C r i me i n A us t ra li a.

Mr Chet wynd has sent a paper upon "Postal Banks ;" and Mr F. Purdy has one on " The Quantity and Value of Corn im ported into the United Kingdom since the Repeal of the Corn Laws." Some interesting statistical works which have been sent over for the use of the Section by foreign Governments will be brought under the notice of the mem bersiby the President. Of these may be mentioned " The Statistics of the Russian Empire," by M Troiniski, the Minister in charge of the Statistical Bureau at St. Peters burg; "Statistics of the Kingdom of Italy," by Signor Maestro's Department at Turin ; the new sheets of the census of France, transmitted by M. Le Goyt ; and a mt• perbly printed folio of the recent "Census of Spain."

Destructive Fire at Toronto. On Sunday morning, August 28, there occurred a, Toronto one of the most destructive fires with which that city has been visited for a length of time. The fire originated at the Grand Trunk Wharf and Elevator, which were com pletely destroyed, with some 50,000 bushels of grain and 400 barrela of flour. The Globe says — " Th e Grand Trunk Wharf extended out from the Esplanade between he finest and Brook streets. I t was w ithout exception t Peter and most substantial wharf in Toronto harbour, and was erected two years ago at a cost of abou t 25,000 dole. The capacious flour shed, capable of containing several thousand barrels of flour, was put up only a few months ago at a cost of between 5,000 and 6,000 dole. These losses, are, however, but trifling, compared with that of the Elevator. This fine building—one of the best of the kind in the province— was constructed at the same time as the wharf, the whole having been built by Mr Sheddon, who subsequently dis posed of the wharf to the Grand Trunk ItailwaY Company. The Elevator, though known as the Grand Trunk Elevator, was the property of Mr Sheddon. Its actual cost at the time of its erection was 50,000 dole, but it h cons id era bly altered and improved at an a ddit een ional recently outlay o f several thousan d dollars. Fortunately for,: Sheddon the building will not be a total los, as he had a n insurance of 35,00 0 dols on it in the followin g companies :.-21,000 dole as b in the Liverpool and London, 8,000 dols in the North British, 'and 16,000 dols in tho Liverpool and Lancashire. The loss sustained by the Grand Trunt Company in the wharf will be covered by the insurance fund of the com pany. In the Elevator at the time of its destruction there were about 45,000 or 50,000 bushels of grain, divided as follows : —Oats about 35,000, corn about 15,000, wheat about 5,000. This, so far as we could learn, was owned by various sh i pp i ng firms in this city and elsewhere , and was partially Mr W. P. covered by insurance, though to what extent we are not informed. The following are the names of the principal sufferers :—Erwin and Sloan, and Cheney and Ames, Os wego ; and W. D. Matthews and S. A. Oliver, Toronto. Mr Oliver lost about 5,800 bushels of oats, on which he had, we believe, an insurance of 1,208 dols. In the flour shed there was fortunately a small quantity of flour, less than 400 barrels, whereas there are sometimes as many thousands. dols, flour I insurance, as 0 dole, so that Messrs Gooderham and Worsts lost 127 barrels, Howland 200, and Mr F. Payland 10. Most of the flour, we were informed, was insured, though at very much l ess than its value. The total loss, as nearly as can at present Mr Sheddon be ascertained, will be as follows:—The Elevator, 50,000 dole, the wharf and flour sheds 30,000 dole, oats about 11,500 h gh e calamity could it. tho T u , aboutdf a o r l dole, s corn 2c,o4uol od a db b oe o i u sre t a I tr O on , t tsa,ol,odlodoe,osl,4sn,ooo: d h eo e xi a cs wheat e a Td b b o eju total 0. 5,000 0ta0 the actual loss in all will be in ro'u'st comers 70,000 fobs. alone, bears b b y u f t Fortunately this heavy loss does not come on one person hardly have happened at a worstime of th e ar is the h g o r r e n a e ter b Year, so far as Mr Sheddon is concerned, Ire bad but a few weeks ago commenced making preparations for the reception and storage of this year's grain, so that by the loss of the Eleva tor he will lose the whole trade of the coming fall and winter, it being hardly possible to erect a p Y or s t e io v n er o a f l , . new Elevator before next spring. _—...-----e-- Agriculture and Free Tr ade. Tho Marquis of Normanby presided at the dinner given in connection with the 32d annual show of the Whitby Agricultural Society on Wednesday last, and among those who took part in the proceedings and addressed the assembly were the lion. W. E. Duncombe and Mr Merritt, the Par liamentary representatives for the North Riding of York shire. The speeches were more or less complimentary, but they were appropriate to the occasion, and had special re ference to the agricultural exhibition and society with which they were associated. In the course of his remarks when returning thanks to the toast of the two members, Mr Duncombe, who formerly was opposed to free trade, acknowledged that agriculture had benefited, along with the general trade of the country, from our present commercial policy. The hon. member said that he could not but feel that the agricultural societies gene rally of this country had conferred considerable advantages upon the kingdom at large, as they had been the means of bringing together the best quality and breed of stock and horses to be found anywhere, and they had also infused a spirit of competition and emulation among the agricultural body. These societies, too, wore the cause why so many of those valuable agricultural implements were produced, and which had proved of such great use in the carrying out of farming operations, and several of which implements were seen in several instances for the first time at these agricul turals gatherings. They were told that in some parts of the country complaints prevailed at the want of farm labourers, but ho did not know whether that complaint prevailed in that district. He believed that there was a want of labour, and that labour was scarce, and therefore it was fortunate at such a time that science had been carried out in agricul tural affairs, and that they were enabled to make use of those excellent machines whereby economy of labour was secured. Upon a recent occasion in returning thanks for the same toast he said that he thought agriculture was not indebted to any Legislative enactments for the success which it en joyed; and he believed that all persons present, whatever might be their political opinions, or to whatever profession they might belong, rejoiced in the general prosperity of agriculture and in the increase of the wealth of the country. In speaking of agriculture, he could say that that interest was not jealous of the increased prosperity which had fallen upon the great commercial and trading classes of this coun try. Ho believed that agriculture had derived benefit from that general increase in tho trade of the country, and he was of opinion that that increased trade might bo attributed to the commercial policy which had recently been carried out, Trade had consequently become unshackled to a great ess tent, some of its burdens had been altogether removed and others had been much relieved; and therefore all the agri cultural interest asked was that the Legislature would apply the same system of relief to the farmer, and endeavour to take away some of those burdens which pressed particularly upon the land. Parliament ought to carry out fairly and fully as respected agriculture tho principle which had been established in our commercial system. This was what they asked for, they required nothing more, and he thought they had a perfect right to ask for such a concession. The pre sent were not occasions for the discussion of party politics, but he thought they might allude to political questions in a quiet way when they related to the welfare of agriculture, and ho believed no one who had that interest at heart would wish to exclude the subject at a meeting of that description. He should endeavour, as he had hitherto done, to promote the best interests of the great community which he repre sented in Parliament, not to look at one interest more than another, his object in the House of Commons being to pro- Inoto,the prosperity Qf filo Yali9tl* interests vf t4c:c9uutry. p r a i r n ot o l e f i o p n a t l, beer reports t do h r ot the ofealmicpenessed brewers have ,2 e 6 re found to be illicit ; the u t e he De p l lab ß or A at p ory ßE of Elt tb .-- 0 thatbe, materialsn in analysed, th e found las t a financialnindtohfetli possession these year 2o prohibited ingredients, in 14 samples, grains of paradise, one of these samples containing, M ln r land lli E ll e ivPeBll° in addition,. tobacco ; in two other cocculus indicus was present in large . and dangerous quantities ; two samples containe d . capsicum ; and the re maining two pro -to sulphate of iron. Generally the pro hibited materials employed in the adulteration of beer are not injurious to health, the object of the fraudulent b rewers or retailers of beer being more to increase the bulk of their goods than to render the beer stupefying by the addition of noxious materials. Still, be says, there can b e littl e doubt that the practice of adulterating beer with poisonous matters, such as tobacco and cocculus indicus, is more prevalent than might be inferred from the sma ll er num b er of detections made, as the fraud is difficult to discover unless the offender be caught in the act of committing it. Considering, therefore, this circumstance, and the abominable character of the offence, Mr Phillips is of opinion that it would be only just to the community to make public the names of those persons convicted of adding cocculous indicus or other deleterious substances to beer brewed for sale ; and he feels no hesitation in stat ing that the two instances of the use of the dangerous drug in question occurred in the neighbourhood of Wirksworth, in Derbyshire, and that many of the detec tions of the use of grains of paradise were also made in the same district. He states also that the experience of many years has led him to the conclusion that th e adul teration of beer with drugs, as distinguished from the mere dilution or increasing of the bulk of the article, is more prevalent in the Midland Counties and the West Ridillg of 1 PrliduKc t 4 44 1 4 tiny ctizer pavto Pi ilat) kiugacta. e v 6 ~/~~ ~,-~~ ~ PRICE STAMPED:....Sd.

In lat. 47 46 N., long. 10 30 W., she spoke the bark Hebe ; and in lat. 48 24 N., long. 84 47 W., the British ship Ful wood, both outward bound. Her Majesty's ships Charybdis and Chameleon were at Panama ; the Pylades at Barbadoes ; the Styx on a cruise; the Greyhound was expected at Barbadoes from Berbice at the time of the packet leaving ; the Aboukir, Barracouta, Petrel, and gun. boat Nimble were at Port Royal, Jamaica. The Spanish war steamer Pizarro was at St. Thomas. The screw steam yacht Midge, R. T. Y. C. (Mr S. Pittar, owner), arrived at St. Thomas from the Spanish main on the 20th of August, and was under steam homeward bound when the Tasmanian sailed. Yellow fever was prevalent among the shipping at Demerara; upwards of 60 men in hospital. The master and seven of the crew of the Indian Chief Rain at all the islands, and very heavy weather experienced by the mail steamer Conway between Barbadoes and St. Kitts. Sickness on the increase at St. Thomas on shore, but the shipping continues healthy. A slight shock of earthquake was felt at Jamaica on the 23d of August, but without any damage. JAMAICA.—The ceremony of the inauguration of his Excellency Governor Eyre took place on the 23d of August. The oaths were administered by Sir Bryan Edwards, Chief Justice, after which the Right Rev. Bishop Courtenay presented an address from the various clergy of the island, which was feelingly responded to by his Excellency. Trade in general was in a depressed condition. Exchange on London, 90 days, 1 per cent. ; 60 days, 11 per cent.'; 30 days, 2 per cent. TRINIDAD.—The cane cultivation looked very promising, and planters anticipated good returns for 1865. Freights, 2s 3d for molasses, 2s 6d for sugar, anti 2s 9d for cocoa. Exchange, 90 days, 487 dole ; 60 days, 490 dols ; 30 days, 493 dols. Trade rather dull. Preparations were being made to give a cordial reception to his Excellency Gover nor Sutton, who succeeds Governor Keats in the administration. BARBADOES.—Throughout the island the crops of canes were in first rate condition. Shipments of sugar to date 32,296 hogsheads, 2,597 tierces, 5,230 barrels, 2,028 bags; molasses, 381 hogsheads, 9,296 puncheons, 389 barrels; rum, 71 puncheons. GRENADA.—Trade had somewhat improved dur ing the fortnight. The sugar crop for the season will be about 6,000 hogsheads; cocoa, 8,000 bags ; cotton, 800 bales. From Mexico we learn that the Emperor Maxi milian had invited Juarez and other Liberal chiefs to come to the city of Mexico to consult together on a plan for restoring peace and the firm establish ment of the empire, guaranteeing them full protec tion and safety. They refused to accede to this request. Juarez's answer had been published. ST 141701/L.—During the fortnight, owing to re. freshing showers, a decided change for the better was visible in the young canes throughout the island. Business very dull, the crop being over. But little money in circulation, and the banks are charging 4821 dole per £lOO sterling for their 90 days' bills. Rum—Stocks heavy, but very little demand. No news of importance has been received from the South Pacific. From Peru we !earn that in consequence of the inactivity of the Court of Aladrid in reference to the seizure of the Chincha Islands, several members of the Ministry at Lima had resigned, and on the 11th of August a new Cabinet was formed, by which it is hoped that more energy will be displayed in the matter, and that a better feeling will he felt between Congress and the Government. The iron-plated monitor Victoria was launched on the 30th of July.

Pittar) has returned to England to make further arrangements for its immediate com pletion. Political affairs were assuming a more tranquil aspect in this district. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. The question of the admissibility of General Langiewicz as a witness at this trial was reopened by M. Janecki, at the sitting of the sth inst. He pointed out that the ground alleged by the Court, at the last sitting, for refusing to take the general's evidence—viz,, that he is in the same position as the accused—was incorrect. The fact of his having fought against Russia was no evidence of any trea sonable intent against Prussia ; and several of the witnesses called by the prose cution, at this very trial, had acknowledged that they had fought against Russia. If any ground existed for suss peeling him of any treasonable act against Prussia, nothing would have been easier than to claim him from the Austrian authorities, and it would have b ee n the duty of the prosecution to do so. As, however, the Court had rejected General Langie wicz as a witness, ho submitted that he be examined in writing, informationis causes, only. The evidence of a gentleman of such high character, and one so thoroughly informed of everything relating to the insurrection, must be especially valuable for the purpose of throwing light on the present matter. M. Holthoff added that the business of the defence would be at an end if a witness was rejected when ever the prosecution accused him of being an insure gent, declaring that it would have prosecuted him if it had thought proper. The Crown prosecutor opposed the motion,but did not prosecute Langiewicz, because he supposed the Austrian Government would do so. As regards the insurgents brought forward as witnesses, they were too illiterate to know the objects of the insurrection. After a sharp and somewhat desultory discussion, the President said the Court would shortly announce its decision. Zaleski, a student, and Michalski, a labourer, were then proposed as witnesses by the defenoe. It ap peared from their evidence that neither of them heard anything of an intention to take Posen from Prussia while they were in the insurgent camp. The decision of the Court respecting General Lane giewicz was then read. It rejected the general's evidence in any shape whatever. A labourer named Palczewski was next examined. He admitted he had been convicted of theft, and added that he had been with the insurgents and had received three thalers from Zorawski. He could not, however, point him out among the accused. The accused M. Jaroczynski was then examined. He said he w as d r a w i n g •master in the Posen school. He denied having belonged to any com mittee—ho could not explain how it was his name was mentioned among Count llzialyflakes me- moranda. J. Matuszewski, tailor's foreman, was the next among the accused, the witnesses against him being two men, Sarnolie and Przybylski, whom M. Lisieck proved to be untrustworthy. Palczewski was then again brought up to give evidence against M• Roman Pilaski, who, he said, had warned Polish volunteers of the approach of Prussian troops. After M, Lent baa indignantly declared that this witness CESAREWITCH , Murder and Attempted Suicide. PRESTON, Thursday. Between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning a dreadful tragedy was perpetrated by a man named William Berry, miller, of 29, Ormskirk-road, in this town. Since Whitsuntide the man has been in a desponding state, partly through business affairs, and to some extent through certain family matters. He seems to have been jealous of his wire, although, it is believed, he had no reason whatever to be so. On Monday, Berry and his wife took lodgings in Ormskirk-road, and their children, two in number, were removed to some of their relatives. Early this morning the woman was heard screaming, and it was subsequently discovered that she had been stabbed in several places about her breast, and that her throat had been out near the centre. Her windpipe was cut completely through ; she bled very profusely, and. died about half an hour after she was found. It seems also that Berry made an attempt upon his lite. He was found sitting on a bed in his lodgings, with his throat out, and the latest reports are to the effect that he is not likely to survive. The following evidence has been prepared by the police, preparatory to the official inquiry, which will be held to- morrow : Edward Leach, of 29, Ormskirk-road, says,—About half past 5 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning I heard a scream in the room where the deceased and her husband were sleep ing. I immediately got out of bed and went to their room and saw the deceased at the window. Her husband was on the side of the bed, and I seized hold of him. Directly I took hold of him he made a stab at his own throat with a pocket knife. Ho made several stabs at his threat. Ho said, " Let me do it quietly, Ned," Henry Ashworth, a brewer. said,—l was in Bishopgato this (Tuesday) morning, at half-past 5 o'clock, when I hoard a woman screaming. I immediately ran into Ormskirk road, where I saw the deceased, and got hold of her. Sho was bleeding from the throat. I put one of my hands to her throat, and placed the other round her waist, and then called for assistance. Soon afterwards I got her into the house. I asked her who had been doing this =cutting het throat, She made an answer and said "My husband." She never afterwards spoke. Matthew Etherington, provision dealer, of 22, Walker street, says—This (Tuesday) morning at half-past 5 I was in Ormskirk-road, when I saw Henry Ashworth, the last itness, holding the deceased. She was bleeding very pro fusely from the throat. I helped Ashworth to get hor into the house. We got two bandages, and placed them around her throat. "We afterwards went upstairs, and I got hold of the deceased's husband, George Goodier, of 23, Everton-gardens, says—While I was in Tithe Barn-street at half-past 5 o'clock this morning I heard cries of " Murder ! " I ran up the street, and into Ormskirk-read, and saw the deceased standing at the door of the house No. 29 in that street. She said "Dear me, ho is killing more upstairs." I went upstairs. with a policeman, and saw her husband. Police-constable Dilworth deposes—At 5 30 this morning I was in Lancaster• road. I heard cries of " Police, police, make haste." I immediately went into Ormskirk-road, and found the deceased lying on her side at the door of the house No. 29. I asked where the man was, and some person said upstairs. I wont into the room and found him in a stoop ing position, ' Edward Leach had hold him, I seized the man's arm, and took a pocket knife out of his hand. The knife was covered with blood. Inspector Hornby said—l arrived at the scene of the murder about half-past 5 o'clock, along with Inspector Wray. I found the deceased lying on the sofa. I imme diately went upstairs. I saw her husband sitting on the bed. His throat was cut. Inspector Wray gave me a handkerchief, and I tied it around the man's throat. Wray and I then sent for doctors, and at 6 o'clock Mr W. H. Spencer, surgeon, arrived, While I was in the room the deceased's husband said to me, "That's you, Hornby ; I know you," I said, "What made you do this, Will ?" He answered, "It was through some men being in the house last night." I mentioned the name of a man named Wilkinson, a miller, as being one of them, and he said " No." While we were at the house Mr Superintendent Dunn arrived, and made all necessary inquiries. This morning Berry was visited by Father do Pietro. Ile expressed his sorrow to the rev. gentleman for what ho had done, and said that he know he had committed a murder. The deceased, as wo have already intimated, was the mother of two children, and she was expected to be shortly confined of a third. HOW SPIDERS FLY.—Although spiders are no' provided wings, and consequently are incapable o flying, in the strict sense of the word, yet, by the aid of their silken filaments, numerous species, belonging to va rious genera, are enabled to accomplish distant journeys through the atmosphere. These aerial excursions, which appear to result from an instinctive desire to migrate, arc undertaken when the weather is bright and serene, parti cularly in autumn, both by adult and immature individuals, and are effected in the following manner. After climbing to the summits of different objects, they raise themselves still higher by straightening the limbs; then elevating the abdomen by bringing it from the usual horizontal position into one almost perpendicular, they emit from the spin ners a small quantity of viscid fluid, which is drawn out into fine lines by the ascending current, occasioned by the rarefaction of the air contiguous to the heated ground. Against these lines the current of rarefied air impinges, till the animals, feeling themselves acted upon with sufficient force, quit their hold of the ob jects on which they stand, and mount aloft. . . .

Lent informed tho Court that th© witness Palczewski had been heard by one of the accused to say, on the preceding- evening, to one of the gaolers, "I almost think I would rather have spoken differently; " to which the gacler replied, "If you had, you would have got-----," The Pre sident said he would take a note of the fact, and then called the witness Faugeret. Faureget said he was I:l4'renchulan, und had pro. eveded to Posen as a volunteer for the insurrection, for which purpme ho had received 100 f. from the Polish Committee at PariF. The object of the committees artil the subscriptions at Paris was to restore the whole of ancient Poland, including the province of. Posen. After a*long cross-examination, in which the above were the only important points elicited, the witness requested that he might be allowed time to mst. The accused W. Loneki was than examined on a charge of having collected taxes in the district of Bukow, founded on the following memorandum of Count I)zialynski:—" 800 thalera, receipts, Bukow district, from W. Loncki." It appeared, however, from the evidence of Miss E. Szczaniecka, a lady known and honoured throughout Poland for her patriotic devotedness, and on whose appearance all the accused stood up, that this sum had been sent by herself to the Count through her nephew, Sigis mund Loneki. M. Brachvogel then read some letters from the witness Faugeret, in which the latter offers to act as a spy and a witness for the prosecution, adding that " he will henceforth serve the Prussian autho rities with the same zeal as ho did on the other side before he knew the Poles." In another letter he says that " he will not spare even his own country. men," and concludes with these words—" You may trust my vengeance, which will never be equal to the evil which has been done me." Sigismund Niezolewshi and F. Molinka were examined on the charge of being functionaries of the National Government, their names being men, tioned in the Dzialynski memoranda. Nothing, however, was established against them, and they were at once liberated, together with W. Loncki. A policeman named Jordens having been brought up to give evidence respecting the revision in the Dzialynski palace, M. Elven proposed to put some questions to him respecting certain police abuses in which he had taken part, but tha Court declared. such questions irrelevant, and then closed the sitting. The sitting of the 7th was entirely occupied with the examination of witnesses in the cases of King, Ohnstein, and Hoffman, tradesmen of Posen, charged with having sold arms to the insurgents, and ended with the liberation of Hoffman, Ohnstein, Obcrfelt, Kaniewski, and Jaroezyneki. Oberfelt's shop, however, is still to remain closed. On the Sth two witnesses, named Samolik and. Przbylski, deposed that the accused Matuszeweki, tailor, had incited them to join the insurrection. When cross-examined by the President and M. Lisiecki, however, the former ad7aitted that he had been in prison as a rogue and a vagabond, and the latter that he had robbed Prince Radziwill of a pair of pistols. The President then called the witness Faugeret, who admitted that the letters which had been read at the last sitting were his. The Crown prosecutor said that, of course, his proposal to be employed as a spy was rejected by the Prussian authorities. The witness then said he had offered himself as a witness from motives of revenge, he having received no pay from the Poles. A letter from M. Kruger, a high Prussian official, was read, in 'which he states he cannot make the witness any offer until he knows the nature of the evidence which would be brought forward. The witness added that at length he came to an agreement with M. Kruger, by which all his expenses were to be paid. He had, however, only as yet received his travelling ex* peens. M. Elven and Professor Gneist submitted that this witness be no longer heard. To take the evidence of such a man was mere loss of time. The President then said it appeared from a letter from the Foreign Minister to M. Kruger that the witness had been paid during his first visit to Berlin hie travelling expenses and 10 thalers for five or six days' living ; and zho Court decided that he should be at once dismissed. The Court then adjourned to the 12th inst. The Perfect Partiality of Russellism, (Front the Dublin Evening Nail.) The last London Gazette contains a notice which, accord- ing to the editorial apologists for Earl Russell's mingled craft and weakness, supplies additional and powerful evi dence to the perfect impartiality (sic) observed by her Majesty's Government towards the belligerents in America. What that impartiality has been the public do not need to be told ; and wo venture to say that the additional evidence will lead them to a very different conclusion from that which tho writer hastens to bespeak, with a suspicion that his case is hollow. The words of the Gazette notification are these : —" Foreign-office, Sept. B.—lt is hereby notified that her Majesty has been pleased to order that for the future, no ship of war belonging to either of the belligerent Powers of North America shall be allowed to enter, or to remain, or be, in any of her Majesty's ports for the purpose of being dismantled or sold ; and her Majesty has been pleased to give directions to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and to the governors of her Majesty's colonies and foreign possessions, to see this order is properly carried into effect," The making of the order applicable to both of the belli gerents is altogether too fine a stroke of Russellism. The Federals are under no necessity to enter our ports to dis pose of ships which may not suit their purposes. They will not be placed under any disability by the regulation. Their own ports are open, and they can sell ships suitable for warfare in British harbours, after dismantling then► in their own, or purchase them in England, and (quip them else where. The Confederate Government aro differently cir cumstanced, and the Foreign Ofllce order is a burden on them alone. Our Ministers have already denied them the right to buy unarmed ships in British dockyards ; now they are forbidden to sell ships in British ports that have become peaceful merchantmen. It is Confederate ownership that constitutes the offence I If we honestly recognised the rights of the parties as belligerents, we should make no distinction between dismantting or arming a ship at sea, and going through those operations in a port belonging to the country whose flag was carried. Tho lawyers have been fertile in sophistries to shelter Earl Russell's perfect partiality and will doubtless atempt todefend the now order by some involved ratiocinative process, but the public cannot be mystified about a matter so palpably capable of ono construction only. There is yet another trick in this artful Gazette sentences Tho regulation is to be applicable " for the future." What, then, about the case of the Georgia? We are semi-offi cially informed that the notification has been put in this form in order not to bar the " legal rights" of the British owner who purchased that vessel in a British port, from Confederate vendors. It is not at all meant, however, that those rights will be recognised by the Government, and a demand preferred for the restoration of that vessel. The Times is authorised to state that they have "declined to interfere in the case of the steamer Georgia, seized off Lis bon by the Federal frigate Niagara. It is difficult to under stand what legal rights remain to the owner under these circumstances, Tho Americans have seized his ship; they have taken it to Now York ; they will condemn it on their own principles ; and what remedy will the British purchaser have, now that the Government deny him that protection to which he had a double claim in consequence of the pre cautions he took when applying for a British register ? It will be remembered that Mr. Bates before completing the purchase, wrote to the Custom-house authorities at Liver. pool to ascertain whether he would be proc ceding legally in buying the vessel, then dismantled and restored to original character—that of an ordinary merchant ship. The collector consulted the Government, and on their being satisfied that the purchase was bona fide, and the vessel to be em ployed in peaceful commerce, they authorised the granting of a register. The Foreign-office now turns its back upon all this, and with an effrontery unparalleled even in Earl Russell's administration, " declines to interfere." Tho "new order" is intended to make that prostration before the Federal Government more completely satisfactory to the objects of his unworthy timidity. It is thus that Ear Russell practises " neutrality," and resents insults to the British flag We hardly thought there was a lower deep for his American a dministration, but this last exploit out does all former disgraces. It remains to ho seen whethe the shipping interest will submit as tamely to Earl Rumen as Earl Russell has done to Mr Seward. While awzdting their action in the matter, we may add that the combined exertions of our Foreign Minister and Mr Lincoln's net are not likely to drive the Confederate flag from the seas. A. telegram arrived at Lloyd's on Saturday which has caused a flutter among the Anglo-Federal party. Captain Semmes is said to have re-appeared in the neighbourhood. of Bremer-haven, commanding a frigate pierced for VI guns, and having 300 men on board ; and that daring officer will, doubtless, soon exact reparation after his own fashion for the wizure of the Georgia ae well ae the Wee of the 4 labahaa.
