The ordinary general meeting of the Palace ana turlington Hotel Company has been called for the Bth July, to receive the directors' report and state- Illent of accounts. The following, with reference to the London market /or American securities, is from Messrs. Satter thwaite's circular :—" The only noticeable feature in the London market for American securi ties, during the past week, is the continued demand for Illinois Central Shares, which have improved on investment purchases, to 101 to 101-k. Erie Shares continue without alteration at 45 to 46, the transac tions in them being extremely limited. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved about it per cent. closing 73 f to 73i for the 1862'5, and 72i to 72i for the 18 e5's. In Atlantic and Great Western Cons o lid a t e d Mortgage Bonds considerable transactions have taken Place at prices varying from 33i to 34i ; they clout finally 33f to 33i, thus showing a decline of about 1 per cent. on the week."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. coußr OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE E. P. BAUMGARTEN. This bankrupt was described as of the Marshalls, Romford, late captain in the 7th Hussars, and to day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge. He owes £6,720, and he attri butes his failure to losses, and the high rate of in terest he has been compelled to pay for advances. No regular accounts having been filed, the case was again adjourned. CITY OF LONDON COURT. (Before Mr. R. M. Kerr and a Jury.) WRIGHT V. MILLER. This was an action to rec9ver £G 3. for wine, beer, cigars, tobacco, and pipes, supplied to' i the de fendant, secretary to the Provincial Union Assur ance Co., by the proprietor of Cogers' Hall, Bride lane. The evidence went to show that on Feb. 2Gth a message was brought round to Cogers' Hall that some wine, beer, and other things should be sent to the offices of the company, of which defendant was the secretary. Plaintiff was called, and he said that in the first instance he received the order through a Mr. Reed, who said he came from Mr. Miller. Mr. Buchaikm, who appeared for defen dant, produced an invoice fur the goods:made out to Mr. Reed, but the plaintiff said this was a mistake, and the books contained an entry against defendant. Mr. Reed said that there was a meeting of the shareholders on the day in question, and he re ceived orders from Mr. Miller to provide a supper and get some wine, beer, cigars, tobacco, and pipes. Cross-examined—l heard Mr. Miller say he would send round the money. Ido not know that Capt. Handley ordered Mr. Miller to get the supper. I have only received £2 from defendant on ac count of the supper as yet. Mr. Buchanan — Is Captain Handley here ? Captain Handley— Yes, am I here. Mr. Buchanan—Then I will call the captain as my witness. Captain Handley—l was one of the directors of the Provincial Union Assurance Company (Limited), now in course of liquidation. I did not give any order for this sup per. His Honour —This appears to be an unde fended action. The jury then found for the plaintiff. Verdict or the plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUG-11-STREET. A HARD CASE.—A cabman, badge 7,853, applied to Mr. Knox for his advice. The applicant said that two gentlemen during his temporary absence drove his Hansom cab from the Windham Club to Cremorne Gardens, where they left it in charge of a man some time afterwards. As it had been a great loss to him he went to the club to make inquiries respecting the gentlemen, with the view of getting some compensation, but although the persons at the Club did not deny knowing who the gentlemen were they refused to give him their names. Mr. Knox advised the applicant to make another attempt to get the names of the gentlemen, and if not successful to again attend the court. The cabman thanked the magistrate for his advice. THE EFFECT OF A " DROP TOO MUCH."—Mr. James Judd Osborne, licensed victualler, of White Linn-street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk while driving a horse and phmton in Park-lane. Police-constable Pittman, 230 C, while in Park lane shortly before one that morning, heard a crash, and afterwards found that the prisoner, who was drunk, had run into a cab, and damaged it, and as he found the prisoner to be incapable of taking care of bis horse and pheaton he took him into custody. Fred. Bason, cab-driver, badge 17,648, proved that the prisoner, who was driving at a fast pace, ran into his cab and damaged it to the amount of 12s. The prisoner admitted having had a glass too much, and said he did not think there was any occasion for the constable to have interfered. Mr. Knox said the constable had only done his duty, and that if the prisoner had not had a glass too much it would not have occurred. The pri soner would pay 10s. fine, and settle the damage with the cab owner. E XPERIMENTS AT SHOEBURYNESS. The great experiments at Shoeburyness on iron and defences entered on a new phase on Tuesday. The public interest has in a great measure subsided _ _ _ with the discontinuance of the trials of the Ply mouth shield and the destruction of the great 15-inch plates ; but to those who watch these in- vestigations with a desire to study fully their bear ing on the general mechanical question there are still many facts to be carefully observed and many important results to be recorded. The objects remaining for attack at the com mencement of this week's practice were the " expe rimental casemate " (two simple walls faced with iron) and the Millwall shield. The latter is the most interesting, as it is a structure avowedly com- petitive with others already tried ; but from the situation in which it has been erected—consider- ably to the west of the other targets, and facing an other part of the ground—it cannot be fired at till the guns have been moved. This, with such an enormous battery, is a troublesome operation, and as it is desirable, therefore, to finish what they have to do in their present position, the experimental casetnate has been selected as the next obj.:ct of attack. At the same time, tha postponement of the Milwall shield is to be regretted, as competitive tria7s ought naturally to be as close as possible to- gether, particularly when they are likely to have any influence on the public mind. During the practice at the Plymouth target thEt spectators have observed, standing immediately ad joining it on the right hand, a black iron wall, larger and more imposing-looking even than its formidable neighbour, and which, from its port-hole in the centre, is at once identified as representing generally a similar object—namely, the front wall of a casemated battery. But the resemblance is only general and superficial. It is no massive iron building, like the adjoining one ; it consists only of concrete piers and walls, covered with what is com paratively a thin facing of iron. This is what is called the "experimental 'casemate," and its object' is to exemplify and test various forms and -arrange ments of defensive works formed by compounding the two materials together. The iron work is light— very light, indeed, as compared with the Plymouth shield ; but its weakness has been assumed to be in some measure compensated by the massiveness of the concrete work behind. It represents nothing that has yet been either built or designed ; it is merely the embodiment of a series of mechanical ideas that have sprung up from time to time for some years past, and have been thought worthy of a trial. And inasmuch as during the time these ideas of defence -have been slowly in cogitation the practice of attack has been rapidly in ad vance, it will not be surprising that, now they come to be pitted against each other, the guns should win. The experimental casemate differs essentially from the Plymouth fort in that the main piers supporting the roof come to the front, and are therefore exposed to fire. The target may generally be described as consisting of two of these piers, having a space between them for the gun, protected by a shield, and roofed over with brick arches covered with concrete. The fronts of the piers, the front of the shield, and the front of the arched work over the opening all form one vertical wall, which is protected by a facing of ironwork, and this ironwork is arranged in various ways over the several parts of the area of the wall in order to test, by actual firing, the re- spective merits of the different forms of construe • - tion. It is altogether a very complicated structure, and very difficult to make intelligible without figures. The main piers measure 12ft. across, Bft. from front to back, and 7ft. 9in. in height. They are formed of brickwortk to a height of 3ft. 9in. from the floor level, and above that of Portland cement concrete, all being enclosed on the sides and rear by a casing of plate iron. The part which we have called the shield, filling up the space bet Ween the piers, and forming the defence immediately in front of the gun, is 12ft. wide and 9ft. high, with an embrasure in the middle. It is (excluding the front iron armour, which we shall speak of presently) 14in. thick, of a sort of cellular structure, formed of thin iron flanched ribs, filled in with cement concrete, and backed with an iron skin plate three-quarters of an inch thick on the rear side. The em brasure is strengthened with a massive iron frame ; over this shield the roof arch is turned. The most important part is the iron armour-facing applied to protect the front wall. This wall is 28ft. wide and 12ft. high, and is in the first place dt s except at the port-hole, by an outer k two inches thick, composed of g horizontally. In front of this lscaorivneere of plates, iron e ly, running skin are fixed six different varieties of external pro tecting armour, arranged in vertical divisions, each division running the whole height of the wall and occupying a certain portion of its width. We shall call these Nos. 1 to 6 respectively, beginning from the left hand of the spectator, or what is called the proper right" of the target. Armour No. 1 is 4ft. Bin. wide, and consists of a single 8-inch plate immediately in contact with the 2-inch skin, and bolted through the whole struc ture. This solid plate may be considered the stan dard as to weight for the whole of the varieties, which are made up so as to contain equal weights of iron for a given area. Armour No. 2,4 ft. Bin. wide, is compound, con sisting first of ribs of what is technically called " channel iron," set vertically against the 2-inch skin, and faced with a plate 4iin. thick ; the spaces between the ribs are filled up with bitumen. Armour No. 3 is something like the last ; but in stead of the channel iron rib, there is used a pecu liar " hollow iron stringer" of the form of Mr. Brunel's well-known bridge-rail used on the Great Western Railway, but much larger. 'This is a contrivance propos e d by Mr. Hughes, of the Millwall Ironworks, and we shall have again to mention it when we come to the Millwall The stringers are covered with 6-inch plates in front. The armour division occupies a length of 10ft. 4in., part of it covering the main pier, and the remainder extending over the cellular shield in front of the gun. Armour No. 4,3 ft. Sin. wide, is composed like No. 2, but with the channel iron ribs closer to gether, and faced with a 4-inch plate ; this division partly covers the cellular shield, and partly the roof arching over it. Armour No. 5 is a narrow strip like No. 4, but with a 4k-inch facing ; and No. 6, extending to the right-hand edge of the casemate and covering the pier, is simply a -inch plate backed by a filling of 7in. of concrete between it and the 2-inch skin. All :these armour facings are substantially bolted through the work. and at the rear in many places there are false casings of thin iron for the purpose and generally catching s o p f li c n o t v er er s i . ng up the nuts, The order of firing against this casemate, as ori ginallyn with the 12-inch gun eto to be ti g h i e n 500 and 200 yards, going on to the smaller guns successively ; but before the withnha s r e g tt e l s ed r , ep w r a e s se t n o ti b n e g gi day of trial this order was reversed, and the pro grammegoing on with the smaller guns, larger. The practice ac cordingly commenced with a series of shell from the smallest gun of the battery, the 7-inch, at 200 yards' distance, and with the full charge of 221 b. of was afterwards mad powder ; these were aimed low, and were intended to hit successively the various divisions of the armour, beginning with that on the left hand, which we have called No. 1. These were followed by a second series from the 9-inch gun, aimed a little higher; and these by a third from the 10-inch gun, higher still. The Journal des Debuts says that, rumours hav ing gone abroad that the ex-Empress Charlotte in tended to return to Mexico at the call of a power ful party, it made inquiry on the subject of her health, and ascertained from the most reliable source that, " though her condition is improved, her reason is still profoundly affected." MISSING SHIPS.—The Pharamond, which sailed from Alexandria for Falmouth on the 9th of January ; the Vesper, from London for Caen on the 13th of April ; the Trial, from Newport for Wadebridge, from Ilfracombe on the 21st of March ; and the Marion, from Jiavaunah for New York, which was spoken oil Charleston on the 17th of March, have not OLIO been heard of. EDITIOII SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocx. WESTMINSTER. RESCUING A Pl:BONN:R.—Rebecca Marrs, of Old Pye-street, a determined-looking character, was charged with being drunk, riotous, and rescuing a prisoner. Police-constable 78 B said—At ten o'clock yes terday morning I was bringing a prisoner, who was charged with an assault, down York-street, when the prisoner and three other women came up and said that I should not take him. They were very violent, and got the man from me, and I took the prisoner into custody. She was too drunk to be brought before the court yesterday. Prisoner—l am very sorry. A Sergeant said the prisoner had often been con victed; she was only discharged from the sessions on Monday. Mr. Arnold conmitted the prisoner for fourteen days. Mary Brown, also of Pye-street, was then brought in upon another charge, when the constable ilentified her as one of the women who had effected the rescue of the man mentioned in the first case, and she was sentenced to fourteen days' hard labour. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—James Hynes alias Ides, a dock labourer, and Mary Crane, a woman of loose character, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with being concerned in violently assaulting Thomas Payne and John Martin, police-constables, 15 and 29 H. The male prisoner was half naked. The shreds of his upper garments were laid across the top of the dock, and he was in a deplorable condition from drink and the terrific encounter in which he had been engaged. Yesterday afternoon the male prisoner was drunk and making a disturbance at the Crown public-house, in Upper Smithfield, op - posite the London Deck. He was removed from the public-house, and was guilty of very bad con dust and used obscene language outside. Payne told him to go home. Prisoner refused, and made use of filthy and violent threats, and among others, that he would kick his - guts out. Payne laid hold of him by the collar, and Hynes tripped him up. Both fell, the policeman undermost. As Hynes rose he kicked the constable once on the thigh and twice in the groin. Payne said "If you kick me again I will use my staff on your head." Hynes then struck Payne on the mouth, threw him, and bit his thumb. Payne drew his staff. Before he could use it the prisoner seized him by the belt, and struck him three times while he was on the ground. The female prisoner then seized him:by the neck, and knocked his helmet off while he was struggling with Payne. A disorderly mob collected, and a scene of riot and violence took place. The mob, principally consisting of roughs, prostitutes, and thieves, assembled shouted and interfered with the police. Martin, 29 H, came to the assistance of Payne, and Hynes said he would not go for forty police men, and made use of horrible maledictions. He kicked and struck Martin several times, A fearful scene ensued before the prisoners were secured. Hynes said he was drunk last night. He was fearfully beaten by the police, who knocked all his things off. His arms were bruised and his head cut open. Mr. Paget examined the man's bare arms. The were very slightly bruised. His bead was slightly cut. Mr. Paget sentenced Hynes to four months' im prisonment and hard labour, and the woman Crane to one month's imprisonment without hard labour.

The moving of the second reading of the Established Church (Suspensory) Bill in the House of Loris, this evening, attracted a very large attendance of peers. Tho space at either side of the house thronged, and the galleries around the house were filled with very elegantly-dressed ladies. the benches occupied by the bishops, there being no less • than 18 of these dignitaries present. The task of moving the second reading was undertiiken by Earl Gran ville, who rose as soon as the hour for public business arrived, at which time the attendance on the Government side showed that a most determined opposi tiun was about to be given to the motion. The interest created by the motion for the second reading was not con fined to the two great political parties in the house ; but the anxiety amongst the public to obtain admission to the Strangers' Gallery was quite equal to anything that has occurred for some years. The LORD CHANCELLOR took hid seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. ESTABLISHED CHURCH (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl GRANVILLE, in moving the second reading of this bill, said it was not the first time ho had proposed a measure of importance to their lordships, and certainly not the first time that it required all his energies to perform the task. No one was more aware than himself of the skill which the noble earl wha had proposed an amendment coull bring to the matter, and he had no doubt that the noble earl wool] lay down the most repugnant arguments, and also that similar ones would be laid down by the noble and learned lord on the Woolsack. (Hear.) The attack in Canada and in this country with regard to reniauism had had filled the public mind with great horror. Since, however, the passing of the Emancipation Act, Ireland had improved in a social, political, and a moral sense, doubtless partly duo to a milder sys tem of legislation. The present bill had found favour with a large number of classes in Ireland, and it was the duty of the Government to provide remedial mea sures for the benefit of the community in that country. Lord Mayo had said with regard to Reform that there ought to be given to Ireland also primary education and severtd other important institutions. With regard to the Church of Ireland, the noble lord went into longer detail. He de precated the whole measure, and proposed further delay. Ire would not object to an alteration, but not at once. He also did not object to all Churches being made equal. He (Lord Grey) believed that alteration would be most satisfactory to the majority of the House of Commons. and also to their lordships house. He was aware that expla nations had been made with regard to the change in the Irish Church, and he believed that it was the duty of the Opposition to take the course they had done ; and in the first instance it was shown that her Majesty's Government did show some disposition to assist the Irish people ; and, secondly, it was the duty of the Opposition to bring in some bill which would assist them. He was strongly for party Government, but at the same time to adopt any principle to one did not believe was dishonourable, but to adopt a great prin ciple and adhere to it was most honourable. (Hear, hear.) He regretted very much a speech made by a right rev prelate the other day. He did not complain of the speech, but he did feel hurt that . mean motives should be im puted by him to those who differed from him, and he did think that on reflection he must have felt that he was wrong. lie had two thoughts in his mind when he entered thirty years the House of Commons ; one was the indefensible position of the Irish Church, and the other the thought that he should never see during his political career the change which he now was so glad to perceive would be likely to eventuate. The task of dealing with the disestablishment of the Irish Church was at last undertaken by the Opposition. A number of resolutions were submitted to the other house, and ho need not inform their lordships that they were carried after a most severe and animated debate, the Government being on each of the divisions left in very large minorities. The present bill was the result of the pass ing of those resolutions. He felt that the passing the bill would be attended with the greatest possible bene fits, and he could not think that any one having the best interests of Ireland at heart should make a despe rate effort to retain that which was against the feelings and wishes of a large majority of the people of Ireland. There was, according to the last return, not 700,000 Anglicans in Ireland, and yet you have upwards of seven millions of Roman Catholics excluded from the benefit of en Established Church. That statement does show that the bill is most just. With re spect to the position of the Roman Catholic clergy he might say they were mostly poor. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEIBER. Mr. HEYGATE took the oaths and his seat for Stamford THE BRISTOL ELECTION PETITION. Mr. HOWES brought up the report of this committee, which stated that Mr. Miles was not duly elected, and that the last election for Bristol was a void olec tion. That bribery had been committed to a great extent, but that it was not proved to have been com mitted with the knowledge of Mr. Miles. That personation and treating took place, but the committee wero not of opinion that extensive corruption had taken place considering the large number of registered electors for the city. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE gave notice that to-morrow he should move that the Attorney-General be instructed „to prosecute the parties found guilty of bribery at the las election for Bristol. THE NEW LAW COURTS. In reply to Mr. BENTINC; Mr. BOOTH said he could not state whether the judges were unanimous in favour of the external elevation of Mr. Street. With respect to placing the design in the library he could see no advantage to be gained by so doing. The whole of the papers upon the matter would very shortly be laid ou the table of the houso. THE CARRIERS ACT. Mr. CARTER asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether her Majesty's Government, in withdraw ing from the Railways Regulation Bill the clauses they had inserted in it for amending, in certain respects, the General Carriers Act, are satisfied that the provisions of that Act, passed forty years since, are suitable to the re quirements of the present day; or whether the Govern ment are still of opinion that the Carriers Act requires amendment, and ought to be revised by Parliament. Mr. CAVE said that after the greatest consideration the Board of Trade were of opinion that the Carriers Act now in force was not suited for the present time. An inquiry would be made next session, after which he hoped a now act would be introduced to Parliament. POSTAL CONTRACTS. Mr. BAXTER asked the Secretary to the Treasury what was the present position of the negotiations between Her Majesty's Government and that of the United States on the subject of a new Postal Convention ; And whether the Government, in making now contracts for the conveyance of the mails, intend to place all the com panies on the same footingas to terms of payment and con ditions of service, carrying out the declaration of Mr. Chan cellor of thelExchequer on the 20th of March, " that the present arrangement was faulty, because it was wrong that the companies carrying mails to America should be under different terms with the Government.' " Mr. BOOTH said the matter was still under considera tion, therefore he could not further refer to it. With respect to the latter part of the question, ho had to say it was their intention to carry out the recommendation of his right hon. friend. THE NEW LAW COURTS. Mr. M. CHAMBERS asked the First Commissioner of Works if the intention of the Government to appoint Mr. Street (whose design was approved by the judges for elevation only) sole architect of the New Law Courts was communicated to the Royal Commission, and whether the Royal Commission had expressed any opinion on the ap pointment. Lord J. MANNERS said the decision had been com municated to the Royal Commission, but there not having been a meeting of the Royal Commissioners no opinion on the matter had been expressed. SUPPLY—IRISH REVENUE. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Gen. DUNNE called the attention of the house to the Irish revenue returns with a view of showing their in• correctness. (LEFT SITTING.) THE CAPE MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, June 25. The Union Steam Company's steamer Anglian, Ciptain Dixon, with the above mail, 26 passen gers, and 1,799 packages of cargo, arrived here.

ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The fifty-third anniversary festival in support of this institution was held last evening at the Free masons' Tavern. The object of the charity is to clothe, educate, and support the children of Scotch soldiers and sailors, who have died or been dis abled in their country's service, and also the chil dren of indigent and deserving Scotchmen resident in London. The chair was taken by the Duke of Richmond, K.G., and the company included his Royal Highness the Prince Christian of Schleswig- Holstein, K.G., the Bishop of Argyll, Lord Mac donald of the Isles, Sir J. Maxwell, Sir Graham Montgomery, M.P., Sir Thomas Gladstone, Lord Strathallan, Sir Charles M'Gregor, Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., Captain Arthur Palliser, Captain Kennedy Erskine, Major Ken neth Macleay, Mr. Robert Crawford, of West brook ; the Lord Advocate, Staff Surgeon-Major Mackinnon, V.C., C.B. ; Colonel and Brigadier- General Grant, C.B. ; Dr. Logan, C. 8., Director- General of the Army Medical Department ; Colonel Roe, Colonel Chambers, Dr. Jameson, Inspector- General of Hospitals ; Dr. Ramsay, Mr. Daniel Mackenzie, Dr. Daniell (secretary), Rev. J. H. Ewing, Mr. Macrae Moir, and Mr. W. Spooner. The hall was decorated with banners bearing the heraldic insignia of the various clans, and in the course of the evening a num ber of national airs were played by Highland pipers. The band of the Hon. Artillery Com pany was also in attendance, in addition to which a selection of vocal and instrumental music was per formed under the direction of Mr. Theodore Distin. After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, the noble chairman proposed, " The Army, Navy, Militia, and Volunteers," which was responded to by Brigadier-General Grant, Ad miral Sir Alex. Milne, Major Kenneth Macleay, and Colonel Chambers. In giving the toast of the evening; " Prosperity to the Royal Caledonian Asylum," the noble chairman briefly explained the objects for which the institution was founded, and went on to remark that he had the honour of being for the present year president of the Highland So ciety, to which the Caledonian Society owed its ex istence. The asylum was founded in 1815, and the first meeting in support of it was held in that very place, and presided over by his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, father of our present most gra cious Sovereign. Since that time more than a thou sand children had been brought up in the institu tion, and at the present moment the number of pupils was about 110. The buildings, however, stood in need of thorough repair, and it, therefore, be hoved the friends of the institution to redouble their efforts in order to maintain the institution in its present state of efficiency. A tree was known by its fruits, and he could not do better than read a single entry in the Visitors'-book, written by a former pupil of the asylum, who was now a captain in the Royal Artillery. It was as fol lows :—" Twenty-seven years ago I left this school, entered the army, have visited every quarter of the globe, and gone through the Crimean campaign. I thank the Almighty that through many dangers and trials He has been pleased in His infinite goodness to bring me back to the scenes of my youth, to an institution where I. spent so many happy days." That spoke volumes in favour of the institution, which, he trusted, would be most liberally supported on the present occasion. The toast was acknowledged with all the honours, and the secretary subsequently announced sub scriptions amounting to £1,060. In proposing "The Visitors," the noble chairman coupled the toast with the name of Prince Christian, who, in responding, said he desired to be regarded not merely as a guest, but as an earnest well-wisher of this noble institution. He had very pleasant recollections of Scottish sport enjoyed in the society of the noble chairman, and it was no less agreeable to him to be associated with his Grace in a work of charity for the benefit of Scotland. The Lord Advocate then proposed the health of the Duke of Buccleuch, president of the asylum. This was followed by several other toasts, and the company separated at a late hour. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London Is 25f. 170. per £1 sterling. n comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£ 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold Is at about the same price in Paris and London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight was on the last date about 110 per cent At this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United States. A marriage is said to be about to take place be tween Prince Albert of Prussia, nephew of the King, and the Princess Mary, daughter of Prince Frederick of Holland. Prince Albert will, it is said, be made Lieut.-General, and receive the command of one of the new' proviuces—Hanover or Cassel—. in which he will reside permanently. On the 29th instant, which is the Festival of St. Peter, the Pope will announce the departure from Rome of the special couriers who are to convey to the various Catholic Bishops of Christendom the Papal missives convoking them for the (Ecumenical Council which his Holiness, jam certes eundi, intends to hold on the Bth of Dec., 1869. In the little island of Montserrat, which has a governor and a system of laws all its own, the judge came down recently to the legal headquarters, but there was no business of any sort, either civil or criminal, and he had a pair of white gloves pre sented to him. NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION.—The coun cil have much pleasure in announcing that since the publi cation of the prize list last week they have received from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales his usual prize of £2l, which will be added to the list for competition on Thursday, August 6, the day orl which her Majesty's prize will be shot for.
