Exnukc r s FROM THE REPORT FOR TIIE YEAR 1862. The Directors of the Royal Insurance company are now called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the Meeting of its Shareholders. E BRAN The Directors have, F as IR pleasingly CH. as unexpectedly, at the close of the year, to announce, for the first time, th 000 he Fire Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £3OO, The high comparative position held by the Royal in the Government Returns of Duty is again fully maintained. The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably the amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur passes that of any rear, with but two exceptions, since the comm encement of thi s Offi ce, the balance to the credit ou account of British and Foreign lnsUrances being £45,10? 10s. 5 d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa• rately, £11,097165. 10d. LIFE BRANCH. The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to state the sum assured on n.w policies for fhe year 1862 exceeds even that of the year 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived at the almost unexampled amount for a single year of £701,327 on 1,498 new policies Issued. Until within the last few years it is believed that such a sum aesured as that a hich has just b€ en announced as the result of one year's business was all but unheard of. This portion of the Company's business has been carefully watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the future to the participating life assurer. Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum proposed for assuran,e amounts to £143,281. Various degrees of i neligibility have led to thee lives being declined. No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at all, exceeding* those which the Royal has declared as inadmis sitde in a single year from deterioration of some kind or another. If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert in briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that Pire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more r apid than th a t o f any ot h er C ompany established either in London or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken Place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the amount of New Policies already reported make all other evidence needless. The Directors conclude their present Report with the expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent hope, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection to the public.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon- Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert N. C. Hamilton, Bart, K.C.8.. Is Chairman) are now receiv ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the account of the Tercentenary Committee. at the Stourbridge and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks, Stratford-upon-Avon; Messrs. Greenway, Smith. and Greenway, Warwick ; or their J ondon agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs Hanburys and Co., or Messrs. Glyn and Co , bankers, London. The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1863. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER. The halt-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Grosvenor Hotel, Westminster—Lord Sondes in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in Ve Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated the proprietors upon the increased traffic during the past six months, which was satisfactory, although, owing to the large amount expended in earning it, it had not benefited the revenue. For the first three or four months of the half year the expenses had exceeded the receipts, it being abso lutely necessary that they should incur a certain amount of expenditure in order to bring traffic to their line. The large outlay was mainly owing to the eompi.ny having no city terminus, in consequence of which they had had to pay con siderable sums of money to the Brighton Company for run ning oN er their west-end lino, and also heavy amounts for carting goods, which had quite absorbed any profit which might have been expended. This, however, would, he trusted, be very shortly obviated by the epening of their terminus at Blackfriars, after which they would not have to run over the Brighton Company's lino except to the sta tion at Victoria. The receipts on the Metropolitan exten sions, considering their incompleteness, had been satisfac tory, averaging since their opening between Victoria and the Elephant and Castle upwards of £9O per week, and since the opening toßeckenham the averagereceipts had been i 35 a mile per week. In a very short time, he believed on the 2d of next month, the second line of rails from Faversham to Herne Bay and the double line between Herne Bay and Margate, would be opened, but it would not be completed to Ramsgate until the following month. The bill which had been introduced into Parliament for improving the approaches to the Victoria Station and con sructing a line to Greenwich had received the Royal assent. The Brighton Company had agreed to subscribe one-half of the cost (£120,000) of constructing two additional lines of railway from Victoria, station to the south side of the river, including the new bridge over the Thames, upon the completion of which the existing lines would be handed over to the Brighton Company, and the new lines devoted exclusively to the traffic of this and the Great Western Company which had ifgreed to contribute in the shape of rent towards their construction in proportion to their use of them. By arrangements with the South-Eastern Cora • pany running powers had been secured to Blackheath and Woolwich, from which a largo addition to their traffic might be anticipated. Lord HARRIS having seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report, In reply to questions by Mr. REDO -COCK, The SECRETARY (Mr. Johnson) said that the interest on the debentures and preference were not brought into the revenue, but were included in the capital account. The balance between the receipts and expenditure amounted to £4,279. Mr. HOLYROD added that the main line ought to earn £5,000 per week to pay all working expenses, interest on money borrowen, and preference shares, with the exception of second preference. That was gross. The not earnings ought to be £2,500 per week. If the line had been woiked at 50 per cent., it would have paid everything. The balance of the capital account on the main line was £lOO,OOO, and on the metropolitan ex'ension £6,000,in which was included the common fund, upon which the company has received £400,000, and they had £600,000 more to come. It was all placed and therefore certain. The second preferences would get their dividend on the increase over the £5,000 per week. Any further sum of money which might be required would be raised after all the existing preference stock. More money would be required, but the amount could not at pre sent be ascertained. V lord HARRIS said that the Board had done its best to get rid of the Farnborough Extension, but the company had some years ago entered into an arrangement with the Crays Company for taking their line, and they were bound, there fore, in honour to carry it out. The necessity for the line was n ow greatly diminished, owing to the South-Eastern Company having a line running almost parallel with it. Although they could not abandon it, they had succeeded in getting it shortened. Mr. FORBES, the general manager, with reference to the expenses, said that they were rather high, but they were spending money in order to develope traffic, The traffic re ceipts were gradually increasing, and he believed they would continue to do so, and they were therefore at the present time standing at a maximum of expenditure and a minimum of receipts. In reply to questions by Mr. GENNING anti other share holders, Lord HARRIS said that, with reference to carrying the lino on to the pier at Barnsgate, difficulties had arisen in consequence of arrangements insisted upon by the Admi ralty and the Board of Trade. It was hoped, however, that the arrangements for running these trains to the pier would soon be made. Mr. FORBES, in reply to questions, said that the arrange- ment with the South Eastern Company was perpetual. It was true that that company had raised their fares, but it was with very good reason, as it was for the directors to consider whether it was advantageous or not. It was their intention originally to run the boats between Dover, Calais. and Boulogne and Ramsgate and Antwerp. When they got their bill they pledged themselves to give Dover additional facilities of traffic. They had done so. If they had insisted upon running to Boulogne the Sohth Eastern would have resolved upon running to Calais, and that would have necessitated a double train service to the coast and a double packet service across the Channel. They had done a much wiser thing in having made arrangement by which they secured a certain route, leaving Boulogne to the South Eastern,. but obtaining for every passenger that went by Dover or Folkestone to Boulogne aslinuch value as from those who travelled by Dover to Calais. The traffic was thus divided between the two companies. The reason that the goods traffic at Folkestone was more valuable than that at Dover was that the Corporation of Dover charged such heavy tolls, which had.induced the South Eastern to establish their goods station at Folkestone. The London, Chatham, and Dover, when they had suitable premises, and were met in a properly liberal spirit by the corporation of Dover, as to the tolls and charges, would do all they could to foster the goods trade at that part. He anticipated a considerable trade for the boats between Ramsgate and Rotterdam. There was a now line now forming between Calais and Boulogne, which would shorten their route to Paris. In reply to Mr. HARTEIDGE, Mr. HOLROYD said that the 6 per cent. preferences had been issued at a rebate of 20 per cent. under the authority of the shareholders, who had resolved that the directors should issue the stock on such terms and conditions as thep might think fit, and, in answer to Mr. Knight, he added that the Dover preference stock took precedence next after debentures ; but the 41 per cent. stock, being a rent-charge, took preference of the debentures. The report was adopted, and Mr. Holroyd was nnani - mously elected to the vacant seat at the board. _ -- -----. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed tho prcceedings. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The report o f th e di rectors o f thi s company states t h at t h e earnings for th e half year ending the 30th June amounted to £431,340, and the ordinary working expenses to £277,204, leaving a balance of £157,136. From this was deducted £32,063 for renewals of permanent way, leaving a net balance of 124,173. The receipts from traffic and all other sources as above amounted to £434,340, against £382,993 for the corresponding half of 1862, or an increase of £51,347, or 13.45 per cent., and against £347,110 for the corresponding half of 1861, or an increase in 1863 over 1861 of £87,230, or 25.13 per cent. Nearly every item of the company's traffic revenue had increased during the half- Year, the main exception being the local passenger traffic. In that item the decrease of £1,052 was much more than accounted for by the extraordinary receipt caused by the movement of troops in the early part of 1862; the receipts for military services in the corresponding half year of 1862 having been £12,630 as against £1,853 in 1863. The work ing expenses show a total expenditure of £277,204, or 63.83 per cent. on the gross receipts, as compared with 77.24 per cent, in the corresponding period of 1862 ; adding renewals in both cases, the expenditure for the past half-year showed a decrease of £9,390, While a gross increase of revenue of £51,347 had been earned, the total expenditure had been reduced by £9,390, including in that expense the increased charge for renewals. The net revenue in 1859 amounted to £73,358, in 1860 to £102,6 85 , in 1861 to £142,494, and in 1862 to £170,234. From the not profit of the half-year—viz., £124,173 —there had to be de ducted a nominal amount of £10,462 for postal and mili tary service receipts; the charge for the former being still unsettled, and the money being still retained by the provin cial government. ' The sum of £6,589 for " Ices on Ame rican currency"—an item of loss which would, it was feared, be even heavier in the current half-year, with its larger traffic—had also to be deducted. Those deductions loft the sum of £107,122, which had been applied as follows payment of interest on lands, bonds, debentures, and notes, £10,693; Portland sinking fund, £2,312 ; Atlantic and St. Lawrence lease in full, £32,763 ; Detroit lease, %11,250 ; in terest first preference bonds, £49,9l3,leaving in full a balance of £lB6. The whole amount expended for renewals and im provements of the permanent way, ordinary and special, had been charged to revenue. The charge in the half-year was £9,261 in excess of that incurred in 1862. It had been decided to renew during the current half-year :00 miles of line with the hollow rails. Tho unexhausted balance to the credit of net revenue account at December 31, 1862—viz., £37,986 had been credited to capital account. The sum of £ 6 ,247 had been expended during tbo half. year in addi tional works and plant, and had been duly debited to capital. This sum is the only real expenditure on " capital account," although that account was also charged with the amount of capitalized arrears of interest under the lease of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence line, and with certain other turns of capitalized interest on second preference bonds (not included at the 31st of December last), and on adjusted debts, together with the c munuted arrears of rent upon the Detroit and Port lluron. The amount which bad hitherto stood in the "general balances" at the debit of the " Port land Sinking Fund ' had been transferred to capital account. The operation of this fund, which:was intended gradually to liquidate the Portland city loans, would ultimately reduce the ennual charge for bond interest, which formed a large part of the lease rent of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence line. The whole of the creditors of the corampany in England, and many of the Canadian creditors, including the largest— the Bank of Upper Canada—had been finally settled with under the terms of the Arrangement Acts, 1862, and deeds of relief and discharge had been executed. There now remained the unsettled accounts with the provincial Government, against which the Board considered the com pany had, if fairly dealt with, a much larger set-off. The through arrangements with the Buffalo and Lake Huron Company had been much extended and improved. A mote full interchange of traffic now took place, and an agreement had been draws up in Canada between the President of the Grand Trunk Company, and Mr. Alexander McE wan, on behalf of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Company, subject to the sanction of the Boards of the two companies, by which running powers were proposed to be interchanged between BuffAlo and Detroit for a period of three years. The agree ment also contemplated (but upon condition of satisfactory arrangements being first made with the connecting railways in the United States) the laying down at an early date of a third rail inside the present sft. Ein. tract, so as to permit the cars of the American lines on the 4ft. Sinfin. gauge to pass from Sarnia to Buffalo. All transhipment between New York and Chicago or the Mississippi River would thus be avoided, and a large accession of carrying power be ob tained without any other outlay of capital. The subject, however, was still under discussion by the Boards. In con clusion, the Board trusted that the result of the half-year's working, which reflected much credit on the company's able executive, would be gratifying to the share and bond holders. A largely increased revenue had been earned at diminished cost, and the net available balance of revenue was larger than it had been at any previous period. A mate rial reduction had been made in the locomotive department, especially in the cost of fuel, and the permanent way had been improved. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR, THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

THE NAVY. The Odin, 16, paddle frigate, Capt. Lord John Hay, C. 8., was paid out of commission yesterday at Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia and the port reserves. She was commissioned at Portsmouth in Sept., 1859, and conveyed the gun boats Foam, Weazle, and Grasshopper out to China. She arrived at Hongkong on the 24th of April following, and was soon afterwards sent to the North, Lord John Hay then commanding the gunboat division in the subsequent operations against the Taku forts. After the reduction of the forts the Odin remained there the whole of the en suing winter establishing a depot, and keeping open the communication with the troops at Tien-twin. In August, 1861, the Odin sailed for Japan, where she remained as senior officer's ship until January 21, 1862, when she conveyed the Japanese Embassy to Suez ria route for England. after which she con veyed the Grand Duke of Saxe-Coburg and suite to Abyssinia, and afterwards proceeded to Trinco malee, where her captain hoisted a commodore's pendant as senior officer in command of the station, and finally sailed for England in March of the pre sent year. Iu paying off, Lord John Hay presented James Sutherland, the Odin's blacksmith, with a silver hammer, value £l2, enclosed in an ebony case, as a mark of approval of his conduct while serving on board the ship. The following men were recommended to the Admiralty for medals and gra tuities for good conduct and long service :—Samson Hooper, chief boatswain's mate ; Henry Weller, sick berth steward; Sergeant Thornton, Royal Marine Artillery ; James Sutherland, blacksmith ; Robert Meredith, Quartermaster; John Auston, leading stoker. THE MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAMS.--On Satur day week a message was received at Malta from on board the screw steamer Hawthorns, G 4 miles off Alex andria, stating that the telegraph cable had been picked up at that distance from that port. The spot, it is stated, is that where a stouter cable was spliced to the deep-sea cable, when the line was laid, owing to the rocky nature of the bottom on that part of the coast. The faulty parts having been ettt out the final splice was made on the teeming of the 13th inst., and at 3.30 pan. the communication be tween Bengaza and Alexandria was completely re stored. The line throughout ftom Malta to Alexan dria is perfect, and is again open to the public. Just at the moment when tha Alexandria cable was thus succ ess f u lly repaired, another of the Mediterranean lines, a Trench one, that from Corsica to Toulon, laid by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., in 1861, stopped working. It may to rentemlif2red that the hemp covering of this cable, so strongly approved by the French Emperor, was protested against at the time by the makers as an insufficient protec tion against the numerous destroying agents to which sub marine ee -- a aro eubiect. 11r.

The Baltimore correspondent of the .New Pork his army to t G eo c n n s e e r r a i l p L ts e , e sw ha el s li b n e g en reinforeed h b l I s y e o r o , a o l d o d o tro ops s m y en s . t an d tha t a It is officially announced that the draft will re commence in New York on Wednesday next. General Dix has issued an address to the people arguing the constitutionality and justice of the draft, imploring them to offer no resistance, and to preserve order. A revision in the enrolment will prevent the possibility of personal injustice. Mr. Lincoln has promptly consented to test the consti tutionality of the Conscription Act, but while the tide of victory is moving on and treason flying before it, God forbid that the State of New York or its authorities should attempt to stay its progress until the judicial process can be consummated. If renewed attempts are to be made to defeat the exe cution of the law ample preparation is made to vin dicate the Government authority. The first exhi- . bitions of disorder or violence will be met by prompt and vigorous measures for their repression. The Provost Marshal General has replied to the Judge Advocate's statements concerning the inac curacy of the enrolment. He claims that the en rolment was honestly and eflectually made, and in sinuates a want of candour on the part of the State authorities. The small results of the volunteering since January last show there is a necessity of another mode of raising troops. The New York municipality will pay an exemp tion fee for all firemen and indigent drafted men. The New York national committee will meet in New York in September, under the presidency of Mr. August Belmont, to appoint the time and the place of the next National Convention. NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (Evening). Federal advices from Charleston to the 14th inst. state that the Monitors were all prepared for action upon the evening of the 13th. At daylight on the 14th the Federal batteries on Morris's Island opened fire, which lasted for an hour or two, when they ceased. The Monitors did not fire a shot. As soon as the batteries ceased firing the Monitors put up their awnings, and the bombardment was post poned till the 15th or 16th. The New York Tribune says :—" Officers from Charleston assert that Fort Wagner can only be taken by assault, and if Fort Sumter falls it cannot be occupied, as it will be battered to pieces. If Forts Wagner and Sumter fall other forts will have to be overcome, and the Confederates are erecting batteries all along the route to Charleston. The Fcderal land force is deemed insufficient and must be largely reinforced before there can be a decisive result." NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (Evening). Charleston was bombarded on the 15th. General Lee has made a demonstration on the Federal loft. The draft recommences in New York to-morrow, but no disturbances are expected. The Government has received advises from Ten nessee that the Chattanooga I?cbel reports an awful bombardment of Charleston upon the 15th. The firing from the land batteries and 11Ionitors was chiefly directed against Fort Sumter. The Iron sides, all the Monitors, and numerous transports were inside the bar during the engagement. The fight continued. Gen. Bragg is at Chattanooga with 25,000 men. Gen. Johnstone has 25,000 at Brandon and Enter prise. Large desortions from Bragg's and John stone's armies are reported. The Governor of Alabama has issued an address enjoining the impressment of negroes into the Confederate service. Gen. Leo has made a demonstration on Gen. geode's left, the cannonading lasting some time. Gen. Lee is said to be moving in a south-easterly course, abandoning the region around Culpepper and Gordonsville. Articles urging peace in the Raleigh Standard are said to have received tho sanction of the Confe derates of North Caroline. Southern papers assert that the French Consul at Richmond has informed the Confederate Government the Emperor Napolecn had desired him to transmit his very warm thanks to the Confederate Government and the Charleston authorities for the assistance rendered to the steamer itenaudin. The Confede rate Secretary of State replied that the Govern ment was gratified at the opportunity of testifying to the sentiments of cordial regard the Government entertained for the Emperor Napoleon and the French people. The New York Herald asserts that the owners of the ship Nord, destroyed by the Alabama, have filed a claim in the State Department of 80,000 dole. against the British government, alleging that the Alabama is a British vessel. Deserters assert that 17 large steamers lately en tered Wilmington with enormous supplies for the Confederate government. The governor of New York has prepared a pro clamation warning the citizens against disorderly conduct during the draft. NEW YORK, Aug. 20, Evening. (By Telegraph to Halifax). Advices from Charleston to the 16th inst. state that a grand attack was appointed to take place on the 17th. It is intended that the Ironsides should engage Fort Wagner whilst the Monitors and shore batteries engage Fort Sumter. The wooden fleet should engage Fort Moultrie. An impression prevails that the Confederates are evacuating Fort Sumter. They ha ve strong Rorks on James Island. The Savannah _Republican expresses an unfavour , able opinion of the strengthof the Ch ar l es t on do fences. . _ _ The New Fork World says : --ct Mlny_ troops from Gen. Meade's army have been sent to Charleston. The offensive mission of Gen. Meade's army is aban doned, and it is now held safely for the defence of Washington." Gen. fialleck has officially ordered that General Lee and Captain Winder should be executed imme diately upon information being received of the exe cution of two Federal officers in Richmond. He says :—"'" The United States will retaliate for every similar barbarous violation of the laws of civilised war." Gen. Grant has permitted persons having cotton or produce not required by the army to bring it to any military port in Mississippi to be disposed of according to the seizure regulations. The Conservative politicians have held a meeting at Rochester to organise the next Presidential campaign. Their platform opposes secession, abolition, or " nativism" of any kind favours the suppression of the rebellion, the maintenance of the Union, the adherence to the constitution, fidelity to the Government, and opposition to foreign inter vention. They uphold that the rights of property, including slaves, is exclusively within the jurisdic tion of States, and that the people cannot be de prived of them by Federal authority except for public use or compensation for crimes of which they are constitutionally proved guilty. The sole end for which the Government has the power to carry on the war is to suppress the insurrection, and to compel the people to obey the laws of Congress. The New York Herald thinks that this party will carry the Presidential election. Drafti:og ws.o coiltinued yesterday and to-day News from New Orleans to the 11th inst. states that there are numerous cases of yellow fever at Quarantine. Five hundred sick soldiers have arrived at New Orleans from Vicksburg. A malig nant typhoid fever is raging at Vicksburg; seven out of 10 cases prove fatal. The Uonfederates have been heavily reinforced at Mobile. NEw Yorac, Aug 19 (Evening). (Pa- Telegraph to Halifax.)

Should this prove ins al-Icier t the governor will exert the full powers of the State Co preserve order, Disregard of the sacredness of constitution of the majesty of the law, and of the decisions of the judiciary are now the greatest dan gers threatening American liberty. It would have been wise and humane to procure a decision con cerning the constitutionality of the Conscripti on Law, but failure to do this does not justify violent opposition.

(By Telegraph to Halifax.) The New York papers publish the following intellig - mce from the city of Mexico via San Fran cisco, to the 22d ult. The French and Mexican papers urge the re cognition of the Southern Confederacy, saying that France will recognise the Confederacy. The Go vernment organ says :—" The Northern States favour Juarez, the Confederacy is in favour of a Mexican monarchy, and everything looks to an immediate recognition of the Confederacy by Mexico." Extravagant statements had been received to the effect that the French were imprisoning and shooting the Mexicans who refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the monarchy. It is also reported that a Mexican man and woman were flogged for refusing quarters to French officers. The foreign ministers at Mexico have refused an (der of Juarez to remove to Sau Luis Potosi. QUEENSTOWN, Friday. The steamer Louisiana, from New York on the 15th inst., via Halifax, passed the harbour at 12 30 p.m. to-day. She brings 190 passengers, and the crew and passengers of the wrecked steamer Georgia, She landed 20 passengers and proceeded. Her news has been anticipated. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. The section meetings were opened on Thursday morning in the various rooms appointed for them. The day was unfortunately most unfavourable for any out-of-cbor proceedings, the rain descending in torrents during the greater portion of the morning. In spite of this drawback, however, the streets were thronged about the hour at which the section meet ings commenced, with " philosophers" of every , de. scription, in many cases accompanied by their wives. The scene during the earlier hours of the day at the reception room was one of unusual bustle and excitement, and a great number of fresh visitors appeared to be entering their names in the lists of members and associates. The attendance at the various section meetings was much better than could have been anticipated, considering the inclemency of the weather. At the Assembly Rooms the ad dresses of Sir Roderick Murchison, Captain rim, and the other gentlemen who took part in the pro ceedings of the geographical section, were listened to by a densely packed audience. Geology and chemistry had also numerous adherents, and the various sections were respectably and in some cases numerously attended. In the geological section an interesting paper on the coal trade of Northumberland and Durham, read by Mr. Nicholas Wood, who is regarded as the patriarch of coal mining in the district, and an authority on all matters relating to the subject. M r . Wood differed from Sir William Armstrong as to the probable duration of the supply of coal in the Northumberland and Barham field. He said the duration of the coal field was a subject which they were very far from being able to go into with any degree of satisfaction; but looking to the facts be had stated with reference to the extent of the coal field, and seeing that it was more a matter of extent of demand and quantity of coal used than extent of the coal, he might say that he questioned the accu racy of Sir W. Armstrong's conclusion. He thought Sir William had overlooked the importance of that part of coal which is under the sea. The other part of the coal field was pretty accurately ascertained ; but of the extent under the sea they had no know ledge and no real facts 'whatever. They had not worked an acre of coal under the sea, and therefore he thought it at least premature to go fully into the inquiry at present. He might add that whatever feelings he might have for the Americans, be hoped it would be long before they supplanted us in the production of coal. (Applause.) The gentlemen connected with the coal trade were quite ready to go into the duration of the coal field whenever they had laid before them any facts which bore upon the subject—(Applause)--but they had decided at pre sent that it would be inexpedient and illusory to do so. THE DERBYSHIRE MURDER. The remains of Miss Goodwin were interred in the cemetery, North End, Wirksworth, on Thursday. Throughout the town the shops were closed and the blinds were lowered. At the cemetery a large assemblage awaited for some time the ar rival of the funeral. Shortly after 11 o'clock the mournful procession left the hail. The burial service was read 1 y the Rev. C. 11. Owen. During the ceremony Captain Goodwin and the deceased's father were affected with ex treme grief, and their sobs were audible in the assemblage which thronged round the pave. Amongst the bystanders, too, many were the eyes that were dimmed with tears. As the solemn words of the service of the Church were read, the crowd stood by with heads uncovered, notwithstanding the rain which at this time commenced to descend. The coffin plate bore the following :—ln memory of Elizabeth Caroline Goodwin, granddaughter of Francis Green and Caroline Good vvin. B:ru, Sept. 22, 1510; died Aug. 22, 1363."
