The objects of the A sso iation are strictly financial, and will be confined to India and the East. The Association will grant loans secured by mortgages of land in the country, in cases where the security is undoubted, and on house nvperty in the large towns; will make advances to the loc 1 governments for carrying on public works, and to builds rs anj contr ct an+, and generally upon approved secu rities not coming wi. hin the limits of bank iv! business. The Association will also negoti ,te the sale and purchase of lauded, house, an other pro erty on commission. Immense tracts f country suitabie for the cultivation of cotton, tea, coffee, and other products ; granite of land direct from Government, irrigati , :n and drainage works, railways, tramways, docks, canals, &c., all await that stimulus which capital can supply, and which will be offered b this Association_. The great increase in the number of European residents in the presidency towns has cause a rise in house rent to the extent of fully 50 per cent., notwithstanding which little or no house bu lding has been commenced, builders and others being unable to obtain the necessary financial facilities. In like manner enterprizes of public utility, and undertakings o f great promise, languiAi for want of capital available for their p , etion, and there exists no means b 1 carrying out many ' works acknowledged to hold out great t rospects of profit. While money is procurable in India for all ordinary com mercial purpi,ses, few facilities exist for obtaining loans on the security of land. The die osat of landed property is consequently attended wish much difficulty, and 'though the va ue of all other property has .argely increased in the p. st few years, that of land has r mained almost unaltered, except in the case of small properties in the immediate vicinity of the large towns. The Registration Act affords the best possible security of title to t land and regis ered titles wilt in all cases be re quired. Arrangements have been made with the Imperial Financial Company, whereby this Association will act as its sole Agents in India, g iving to that Company the opt.on of taking a share in the transactions of this Association.

Written in purest English, quaint, sparkling, ',lid gracoul, anon delizht.ng us with flashes of humour, or winning us with true and subtle pathos, it may at once take up ,ts position amongst the master pima of modern English fiction."—Sunday Times. The Royal Italian Opera was last evening the scene of an ovation, which, from the social position of its habitues and the ordinary nil adinirari, ela?- racter of their well-bred applause, proved that those who took part in it sympathise heartily in the feel ing which may now be said to pervade every class of society, from the peer to the peasant. No sooner was the announcement made that the parest of modern patriots, end the bravest of freedom's soldiers, desired to honour the opera of his native tongue with a hearing, than every seat in the house was at a premium. This might have been anticipated from a class to whom the price for admission is hardly a consideration; but what we would desire to remark is the unmistakable proof which this selection from the " upper ten thousand" supplied, of the justness of the opinion consistently expressed in these columns, despite the hesitating of many, and the ill-disguised envy and of ethers, that Gari baldi, come when he might, would receive from every Englishman, of every rank, that cordial welcome which a generous people is proud to give to those who deserve well of their country and of mankind.

About twenty minutes past eight loud cheering in the piazza of Covent garden announced to the well-dressed crowd within the Floral Hall that Garibaldi had arrived, and shortly afterwards the hero, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl of Carlisle, Lady Blantrye, the Countess Dowager of Sutherland, Lords Albert and Ronald Leveson Gower, Mr. Negretti, and other friends, made their appearance and were received by Mr. Gye and several officials of the opera. Such was the eagerness for a near approach that the Ueneral was surrounded and separated from his escort completely, when two active superintendents came to the rescue, and cleared a passage for him across the Floral Hall, and up the staircase leading to the grand tier, where three boxes had been thrown into one, exactly opposite the royal box. Never was crowned head received with such outspoken and hearty cheers, rivalling in vigour those of the most popular assemblies, and repeated again and again. The General, who looks somewhat sick with kind ness, bowed repeatedly. The eommo'ion and emo tion calmed, Costa tapped his desk, and the band burst forth with the preluding notes of " Norma." The choice of this opera and two acts of " Masa niello," with the elevation of the Fisherman•Kiog, ending with the insurrection, the fusillade, and defeat of the royal troops, was certainly highly sug gestive. The music, the gorgeous lase en scene, the picturesque groups of Neapolitans, and the splen did pictures of the Bay of Naples, the market place, and other localities, appeared to delight the gallant visitor and chain his attention. We have been told much of the General's inflexible rule of " early to bed," when not campaigning. Last night, or rather this morning, gave us the "exception," which logicians tell us "proves the rule." It was asserted that at the close of 'Worms," half-past 10 o'clock, the General would leave. He merely retired for refreshment, returned, and. sat out the whole performance, bowing in reply to re newed cheers after the fall of the drop-scene, and applauding warmly at the close. At half-past 12 the General left with his friends. The Guards' band was in waiting in the Floral Hall, and played the Garibaldian Hymn at his de parture, which was made by the Piazza. entrance, by which he had entered ; and here again loud and ringing huzzahs were heard for the man whom the people delight to honour. The Norma of Madame Lagrua exhibited the magnificence, the energy, the intellectuality, and the power which we have already attributed to this great singer and tragedienne. Mdlle, Marie Battu was a charming Adalgisa, and Signor Naudin an excellent representative of Pollio, proTerbially ill received by the audience. The novelty was a new Oravcso in the person of Herr Szhmil, of whom we may briefly say that he is an actor, a muEician, and a singer gifted with great power of delivery, ex pres:iion, end depth. His 3roveso so much impressed us that we are anxious to hear him in another role. The splendid overture to Masaniello was splen didly performed, so splendidly that it was warmly applauded, and no one seemed to regret the time by which it lengthened unusually "long Thurs• day." Among the company were : —The Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of St. Albans and Lady Diana Beauclerk and Viscount Falkland, the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland and his Excellency the Earl a Carlisle and Lords Albert and Ronald Leveson Gower, the Marchioness of Dewnehire and Lady Alice Hill, the Earl and Countess of Tankerville, the Earl of Dudley, the Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl Granville, the Earl of Durham, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Countess de Grey, the Countess of Harrington, Viscount Sydney, Lord Ernest Bruce, Lord and Lady de Tabby and the Hon.

General Garibaldi, accompanied by his sons, the members of his suite, and the Duke of Sutherland, left Stafford House this morning at 10 o'clock for Bedford, via the Great Northern Railway. On arriving at that place, the General will proceed to Mr. Howard's agricultural works, where a display of the capabilities of the machines manufactured by the firm will be given. The route traversed by the Duke's carriages was lined with people, and, in some instances, hasty attempts at decoration had been made. The cheering along the road was loud and beady, but at the entrance to the railway station it became tumultuous. A limited number of persons only was admitted to the departure platform, so that he was enabled to depart on this occasion without going through the fatigue of shaking hands with every person who could get within arm's reach of him. He returns to town late in the afternoon. To-morrow (Saturday) General Garibaldi will receive in the centre transept of the Crystal Palace, from the Italian Reception Committee, an address and presentation sword. A similar sword ill also be presented to the General's son, Menotti Gari baldi. The presentation will take place in a box or gallery erected for the occasion at the north-east corner of the great transept, immediately facing the Handel orcli.estra, and in full view of the visi tors. Prior to the presentations a great Italian concert will be offered to the General by the prin• cipal artistes of the Italian Operas. The General Rill leave town privately, and arrive at the Palace on Saturday ebout two o'clock. He will leave about five o'clock. On his return to town Garibaldi go to a gr and dinner and evening party at Lord Palmer ston's, Cambridge House. On Monday the whole of the members of the House of Commons are in vited from two to six o'clock, to meet the General at Mr. Seely's, at Princes-gate. It is, therefore, probable that the proceedings at Sydenharn on that day will be over at an early hour. He will dine in the evening with the Matquie of Clanricarde, and -,,, f ~ .e, I 1 S PAPER ~,_.,,,,_„.„-____ , ...,, , ,ey , „ - ,..i. ,-, .% 7 , Naval and Military Intelli -5. -, s ~, .- 1 , ,,--!

The target represents a portion of the broadside of the Lord Warden, and should the experiments which are to be carried out, upon it confirm the expectations formed of its shct resisting power, the Lord Warden will be constructed on exactly the same principle. The total thickness of the iron and teak timber forming the target is lliin. The outer portion con sists of a couple of the large malleable plates sent in by the Millwall Iron Company, each weighing between seven and eight tons. Each plate is 2 - )ft in length, by 4ft Gin wid., and 41in id thickness. These are baited to a thickness of teak planting of Sin, between which le balks of timber, s of will t e h ff e vessel which answer to th e ti m b er frames of a vessel, are wrought tre c s te id d e , iron plates liin in tbi c k nesa, and it is exactly this thick nesspassage of oironwhich,fehot through itis ex dctu a l IY a afterresist e the - trating the armour-plates. The 11-inch plates are bolted to 13ft inches of teak timber, to the interior of which is fastened the 81. inch teak plenking. Each of the armour • plates is secured by 22 wrought iron bolts 21 inches in thickness, the bevil at the head of the bolt being 34 inches. Each bolt being let into the plate the latter presents an even surface. The bolts are fastened by means of the ordinary nuts. The target is of enormous strength, each of the tim bers being held together by means of five large wrought iron knees. Its weight is 25 tons, and altogether it is one of the strongest targets for experimental purposes ever constructed, and would appear destined to sustain any amount of batter - ing. The naval transport Dove has been brought up along side the dockyard to receive the target on board to-day, but owing to the want of the proper appliances, bee., for un shipping it at Shoeburyness, the work of landing it promises to be one of great difficulty. Yesterday the War Departments transports Petrel and Bomarsuni arrived alongside the ordnance wharf at Chat ham, with the guns, shot, shell, and War Department stores from the screw corvette Scont,2l, 400 horse power, Capt. J. Corbett, which is being dismantled at the Nora previously to being put out of commission, and placed in the steam re serve. The iron eased frigate Caledonia, 35, 1,000 horse power, is being pushed forward with all despatch in the great basin at Sheerness, in readiness for being floated out on the 22d inst. She bent sails yesterday. B;• 'rder of the Admiralty the Caledonia is not to be tried at the measured mile until the whole of her stores, &c., are on board, and the frigate is at her loa] water line.

THE FISHMONGERS' DINNER.—The Court Dinner of the worshipful Company of Fishmongers took place yesterday in the ancient hall of the company.:London bridge, Mr. James Weston in the chair. Atter the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the Prime Warden proposed "The Health of the Lord Mayor," who had lately been elected a member of the Court in the place of the late Mr. Western Wood. He said that the principles of liberty which formed the basis of the constitution of this kingdom had always received the support of the chief magistrate of the City of London, and that the country was indebted to the metro polis for upholding the interest not only of its citizens, but of the nation at large. Ths toast having been duly honoured, the Prime Warden proposed " The House of Peers," coupling with it the name of Lord Ebury. In reply, Lord Ebury said he thought it rather hard that his name should ha as sociated with the toast of the House of Peers when one of the lords spiritual, the Bishop of London, was present, who, according to precedent, should bo allowed to speak first. He, however, felt deeply the honour conferred upon him, and begged to thank the honourable assembly for the man ner in which the toast had been received. The Prime War- den thou proposNl " The Health of the Bishop of London," who said that in all the struggles fur liberty of which this country had been witness he was proud to say the Church of England had always been foremost. He claimed for that Church the power and the will of adapting itself to the pecu liar circumstances of the age. Some years ago an absurd cry had been raised that the Church was in danger, but by doing its duty to itself and to its members it had rendered itself free of silly alarmists. " The House of Commons," coupled with the name of Mr J. Rolt, M.P., was then proposed, followed by the toast of " Her Majesty's Judges." In reply Sir W. Page Wood said that the judicial Bench had also had its struggles for freedom. Although he was not in favour of organic changes, he could not close his eyes to the develop ment of liberty that was going on in all the courts of justice, more especially in the Court of Chancery. In another country a trial had actually taken place during which an absent man had been condemned. Knowing the course of justice as pursued in the English courts, he had no hesita tion in saying that each a judicial anomaly was impossible in this country. He thanked the Hon.

THE DANGERS OF THE SEA.—FAYAL, March 26. —On the 24th of March the Aconano returned to this port from St. George, having on board the master (Clemonts) of the British bark Hiawatha, from Cardiff for New York, v ith railway iron, which had sprung a leak; and on the 18th of March, being in about lat. 42, long. 33, a vessel hove in eight, and the Hiawatha, being in a sinking state, the crew abandoned her, and boarded the other vessel, which proved to be a derelict brig, with only her mainmast ankmainyard standing, and on fire, all the hatches battened down, forecastle and cabin covered, and smoke issuing from the different places. Shortly after boarding her the boat was stove and totally lost. On the 19th they attempted to hoist in the other boat, but did not succeed. The first and second mates then got into her with oars, to wait a chance of the sea getting smooth towards evening, but she was perceived to be gradually distancing the vessel, and at last apparently going before the wind. With difficulty the vessel was got before the sea, and followed in the direction of the boat, but saw nothing more of her. The vessel was kept before the wind, and about noon on the 22d drove on shore on the north coast of St. George. Her cargo consisted of cotton. She had no name, and seemed to be foreign built. The wreck was left in the hands of the Custom-house authori ties, who wore endeavouring to save the cotton as it washed I on shore.

STAMPED ....sd. o❑ the follqwing Wednesday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Carlton House-terrace. Nearly 200 members of the Reform Club have put down their names for the dinner to be given at the club house to General Garibaldi. " The use of the institution," says the Daily News, " is felt as on injury by some of the Catholic members, with whom some liberal Protestant members have expressed their sympathy. The invitation, how ever, being simply the act of those who give it, does not compromise the Catholic members, as an ect of the club would do." Tho General's simple habits have been in no wise departed from since his sojourn at Stafford House. He rises at five, and breakfasts at six, the meal con sisting of bread, grepFe, cheese, and a glass of wine, and then smokes a cigar while walking in the grounds attached to the mansion. General Garibaldi and his sons have been elected, by the committee of the New United Service Club, honorary members during their stay in this country. The arrangements at the Crystal Palace are pro gressing satisfactorily, and from the demand for places there is no doubt that the Crystal Palace will to-morrow have ono of the greatest displays ever witnessed. The programme of the day will be found in our advertising columns. It is requested by the managers of the fete, that all persons should pro vide themselves beforehand with tickets, and whether by rail or by road they will do well to start early for the Palace. For Saturday no tickets will be sold in town after this evening, For Monday, the day for the presentation of addresses, reserved seat tickets will be issued at Exeter hall only, commencing at 10 o'clock in the morning. The Health of Garibaldi, (F17;11 , the Lancet.) One of the avowed motives of the visit of General Garibaldi to this country was to avail himself of the services of Mr. Fergusson in the treatment of the still subsisting effects of the injury to his wounded joint. General Garibaldi has been under the continuous surgical care of Mr. Fergusson since his arrival in London, and we are able to give, upon the best authority, accarate details of the present condition of this illustrious man, which w:11 be read with the greater interest by the members of the profession, in that the original nature and extent of the injuries were the cause of so much doubt and difficulty as to diagnosis and treatment. Garibaldi seems in good health and spirits. Consi dering the anxieties and sufferings of 1862, and his oppressed state throughout the greater part of 1863, his general condition may now be declared excellent. His constitution must originally have been good; and setting aside his present halt, he dis plays a wiry vigour of frame which most men at the age of 57 might envy. Compared with the accounts of him during his voyage, and on his arrival iu this country, he is greatly improved ; for already his residence in " the garden of England," and the good care of his worthy host, Mr. Seeley, have put him in such bloom that (barring casualties) he bids as fair to reach the allotted span as any one of his age. To be brief, ho appears as sound constitutionally as min at his age can be. His wounded limb naturally attracts most attention. He walks lamely, yet without much, if any pain. The wound has to all appearance healed thoroughly, and has left less evil than might have been anti cipated. There is a small round scar, about an inch above the inner ankle, which tells of serious damage to the bone, and extreme risk to the ankle joint. The place is a little depressed, indicating loss of tissue and fragments of bone—so common in gun shot injuries of the kind; bat the akin is as healthy as could be expected at this date. When the parts were first inspected there was a slight tinge of red, which the General declared to be temporary, and attributed to the fatigue of his entry into London. This blush has since gone off. Tho inflamma tion from the wound has evidently extended into the ankle joint, and the result is a great amount of stiffening, which is the chief cause of lame ness. Lateral movements of the foot are tolerably free, probably from acquired increased un• bility of some of the joints (tarsal) bat flexion and extension at the ankle-joint proper are impercep tible. The foot is slightly turned inwaids, and this is, perhaps, the chief present cause of a pi culiarity of gait. Ia walking the wounded limb is carried at a considerable distance from the other, so that the sole of the foot may be placed flat on the ground. Should the stiffness at the ankle-joint relax, this slight malposition will gradually disappear, and with the improvement in both, the lameness will become less and less, until, in all likelihood, it will not be perceptible to an ordinary observer. There is further hope in this respect, from the circumstance that the knee, which was necessarily constrained during the treatment, of the wound, is still a little stiff, and that the calf has not regained its natural size and vigour. Uader all the circumstances, it may be unhesitatingly declared that Garibaldi, con stitutionally and locally, could not have been better at this date, after such a wound and such an inflam mation ; and it may be a subject of congratulation to the admirers of the hero, and all who are fondly interested in his fate, that both limb and life have spared. (From the Medical Times and Gazette.) We are glad to be able to present our readers with the following authentic surgical account of the present condition of the illustrious foreigner :—The wound in General Garibaldi's leg has been entirely and soundly cidtrised for three months or more, and the only indication of the injury is a dimple on the inner side of the ankle where the ball entered. There is no sinus and no discharge, and as the parts are thoroughly cicatrised, there is, in all probability, nothing present in the shape of a foreign body or piece of necrosed bone. The main symptoms from which the General is at present suffering are the effects of long-continued inflammation, represented by considerable stiffness and want of motion about the ankle, There is limitation of movement in various directions, and, in all probability, there is a pretty firm ankylosis of the ankle joint itself. There is, however, a considerable capacity of motion in the tarsus. By the aid of a stick the General can move the limb freely. From this account it is clear that no active surgical treatment is needful. STEAM FIRE-ENGINE.--A powerful steam fire engine was yesterday shipped on board the Fingal steamer for Copenhagen. It is intended for the Royal Board of Fire of that city, but it is expected that it will in the first instance be used for the extinction of fire caused by the bombardment of the Danish fortresses by the Germans. Immediately after the inundation at Sheffield steam pump ing machinery was telegraphed for from London, and this engine was immediately sent down. It was engaged five days continuously pumping water, sand, and dirt, from the basements of the steel and other manufactories, and finished on the fifth day, the 19th of March, byworking in public for two hours as a steam fire-engine, when it threw two large jets above the factory chimneys. It was also worked on the 31st of March, in the presence of Captain Shaw, superintendent of the London Fire Brigade, and Mr. Mat thews, of the firm of John Penn and Son, when liin. jet was worked continuously with a pressure of 100 lb. to the square inch. Steam was generated to 501 b. to the square ince in eight minutes, cold water being used. This engine is an improvement upon that which obtained the first prize at the international competition at the Crystal Palace on the Ist of July, 1863. It weighs 30 cwt., and is the 30th steam fire-engine constructed by Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. PERSONATING A DEAD MAN.—At the Police office, Nottingham, on Thursday, James Orme, a collier, residing at Heanor, was charged with having ob tained fraudulently £5B from the Nottingham Savings -bank. From the evidence of John Adams, a clerk in the bank, it appeared that on Wednesday week the prisoner came into the bank with a book which had not been presented for eight years. On being asked his name he said it was John Davies, stating that the book belonged4o him. He said he would take out the whole amount. Part of the, money was given to him then, and the rest on the following Saturday. The real owner of the bank book had died five years ago, and land prisoner had obtained possession of it when at deceased's house. Some further evidence was adduced, and the pri soner was remanded for a week.
