This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and as augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, whilel iving. The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. • DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled tote Directors at the Annual Meeting, held on the B t h of :May, 'Be, declare a sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to Afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ;eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk 3f forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan -ages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure through this Society. 11.

WORCESTER, Ave. 3.-The weather this week has been very fine, and, the advance of last Saturday in the price of wheat cannot be maintained. The highest price for English white wheat is 17s fid per bag, red 16a 6d, foreign about 161 6d per bag. - Barley in slow request at 2s 6d to 2s 9d per bushel for distilling qualities; malting not inquired for. English oats 3s 4d per bushel, Irish from 2s 6d to 2s 9d per bushel. Old beans, English, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel; foreign from 35 4d to 3s 6d per bushel. White peas 5s to 5s 4d per bushel, gray 4s to 4s 61 per bushel. Stourbridge market on Friday was fully supplied with wheat, and in consequence of change of weather for the better a reduction of is per quarter on the rates of last market day had to be submitted to. Wheat averaged 42s 6d per quarter. Barley dull at last week's rates. Peas and beans in fair request at last week's currencies. At Stratford-on-Avon market on Friday, there was also a full supply of grain and a fair attendance of mil lers and dealers. Wheat must be quoted on the whole 6d to is per quarter lower than last week. Farmers en deavoured early in the day to keep ap last week's prices, but as millers would not purchase they had in the after noon to submit to the decline. At this redaction a good business was done. Best white wheat 17s per bag, and red from Os 6d to 16s per bag. Beans were worth more money, good samples of old fetching 11s 6d, and new 10. 6cl per bag. At Wolverhampton market there was an average sup ply of wheat, which was held pretty firmly for last week's advance. Millers, however, purchased very sparingly, and sales to any amount co uld only be effected at a de clino.of Id per bushel. Farmers' wheat sold at 6. 6i per 721 b for red, and 7s for white; dealers' 5s 8d to 6s per 621 b. Grindin g barley in request at full prices say, 218 to 22s per 3921 b. English beans Is per quar ter higher, prices being 115 6d to 125 per 2961 b. Oats in moderate request and unchanged in value. At Kidderminster the supply of wheat was good, but the trade ruled dull at a decline of 2d per bushel. In other grain little doing. GLOUCESTER, Ave. 3.-The rise of last Saturday has not been maintained to-day, though wheat is still worth more than it was a fortnight ago. White wheat must be quoted at 5s to 5s 61 per bushel; red, 4s 6d to 55 4d per bushel. Foreign wheat, 41 6d to 5s 6d per bushel.

CORK, AUG. 2.—The trade since our last has been very quiet, and we have had little business passing in any article. A few parcels of . wheat have changed hands at fully the rates of last week. We quote the value of Polish Odessa 23s 6(1, of Bradianski and Maria nople 24s 6d to 25s per , barrel. In oats we have very little doing, and to effect sales lower prices should be submitted to. The flour market is quiet, and we have only a moderate business passing at late rates. Owing to the rumours of disease in the po tato crop holders of Indian corn are looking for an ad vance of price. As, however, potatoes are every day becoming more plentiful, and as they are (in this quarter at least) still per featly sound and free from disease, while the price is now very moderate, and there is little or nothing doing in maize. We quote the current asking price of the article 61 5s to 61 15s per ton. Indian meal meets a very restricted sale. t pe moen r a. c l w h t riaon O s 4t a oi tm tioo ei f, ,4 ;1 62 1 45 05 6p de to rpec l rw O t s ton.. 6d I ; 111 Indian Flour—First 12s 63 to 13s Od ; extra 14s Od ; seconds, 12s Od to 12s 6d ; households lOs tolls; thirds, 6s to 9s 9 s 2 d 6 is r t o t o 7 536301 335; avera g e s w 6 h d e a pert- i d y i al an c F la o arm r e n al 6 e 6 l:2 s OOs; dealers 42s to 50s Od; average OOs ton. per on.

OPENING OF THE GREAT NORTHERN. The opening of this stupendous undertaking for public traffic over the southern, or town division of the line, namely, from London to Peterborough, is fixed to take place on Wednesday next, the 7th inst. Several trial trips have taken place during the last few days, and on Monday last a powerful engine and a special train were brought up to the present temporary terminus at Maiden•lane, King's-cross, for the purpose of conveying the Government Inspector of Railways over the line. Captain Simmonds, the Inspector-General of Railways, arrived at the terminus shortly before ten o'clock, and was received by Mr. Denison, MT, the chairman of the company; Mr. Thomas Cubitt, the en gineer; Mr. Louis Cubitt, the architect; Mr. Brassey, the contractor for the line; Mr. Seymour Clarke, chief superintendent of the line, and a large body of the di rectors and their friends, who immmediately took their places in the carriages, Capt a i n Si mmon d s and other scientific gentlemen takin g th e i r stat i ons on th e engine. The journey from London to Peterborough was per formed in a very short space of time, considering the necessary stoppages, in order to allow the Government Inspector to examine the various works of importance as the train proceeded. The result of the inspection has, it is understood, proved perfectly satisfactory, and the Inspector-General has given his certificate as to the fitness of the line to be opened. to Peterborough on Wednesday next. In order to enable the reader to form some notion of the magnitude of the works going on at the London terminus of the Great Northern Railway, it may be men tioned that the plot of land on which the present tempo rary terminus stands consists of about fifty acres, situate about a quarter of a mile from the site of the intended permanent terminus, the Small-pox and late London Fever Hospitals at King's-cross, and immediately abutt ing on the Regent's Canal, on the northern side of the Imperial Gas Works. On the east this piece of land, is bounded by Maiden-lane, and on the west by Agar Town, in the rear of St. Pancras Workhouse and the Old St. Pancras-road, whilst on the south the Regent's Canal intervenes, and on the north the embankments of the Birmingham and Blackwell Junction, which crosses the Great Northern line by means of a viaduct within a few hundred feet of the Copenhagen Tunnel. It is intended that this vast space should be devoted to the goods department of the railway, and it will, with the exception of its greater extent, bear close affinity to the goods and locomotive department of the London and North-Western Railway at Camden -town. The works in course of construction on this portion of the railway are of a most massive character. They are being carried out under the direction of Mr. Louis Cubitt, the archi tect, and the Messrs. Jay, of London-wall, who are the contractors for all the works on the London side of the Copenhagen Tunnel, and who it is understood have within the last few days also obtained the contract for the construction of the permanent terminus at King's cross. _ . _ The present terminus of the Great Northern Railway is entered by two large gates situate on the western side of Maiden-lane, facing River-street, and the City of York Tavern, within about 150 or 200 yards of the bridge over the Regent's Canal, now being widened at the expense of the company, and • being converted into an elegant structure of iron, 60 or 70 feet in width. Immediately on entering the outer gates is the temporary range of waiting-rooms and offices leading to the platform, which is about 200 yards in length, with an elegant and exceedingly light iron and glass roof, constructed, when completed, upon the same prin ciple as that of the North-Western terminus at Euston grove. To this point the main line of rails is completed, and laid on an exceedingly solid foundation of burnt clay, the rails themselves laid on sleepers of wood, and apparently of a more heavy calibre than most rails hitherto in use on any of the other narrow gauge lines. Immediately crossing the railway to the south-west, is a large building to be appropriated to the official depart meet of the line, and which will contain the directors' board-room, &e. Further westward ate the carriage sheds, and the sheds to be appropriated to the goods de partment. These buildings are of the most stupendous cha racter, being each of them several hundred yards in length, and so capacious in every other respect that barges which come up the canal from the river Thames, after being te ceived into a capacious dock, now in course of construc tion, can be brought under these sheds, into which the dock extends, fur the purpose of either unloading or receiving their cargoes. It is understood that on one side of these 'docks will be the coal depat, it being the intention of the Great Northern Company to bring up that article of consumption direct from the coal fields of the north, at a very reduced rate, for the Lon don trade. The other department will be for corn; and so great is expected to be the demand, that large six story stores are about to be erected for its deposit. Bearing further westward, towards Agar-town, is the entrance to the goods and locomotive department, which is reached by a turning from the St. Pancras-road, at the end of Brewer-street, Somer's-town, to which point, when completed, the works of the company will extend, passing the range of gasometers of the Imperial Gas Company in that direction. The engine• house and lo comotive department are situate more to the north-west ern extremity of the land described. The engine-house is a capacious building, and has been supplied with an immense tank, covering very nearly its entire roof, into which it is stated the water for the engines will be con veyed by means of a powerful steam-engine from a large artesian well. Looking from the present temporary passengers' sta tion in a north-easterly direction, the first object which the eye encounters is the very elegant and substantially constructed fi%e•arched bridge or viaduct which crosses the railway in continuation of Maiden-lane. To this point from the terminus the line is on a very great curve, and so continues till it reaches the Copenhagen Tunnel, the mouth of which is, however, plainly visible from the station through the arches of the Mai ten-lane viaduct. The Copenhagen Tunnel is about half a mile in length, commencing sid e n. a u n t e the entrance of Copenhagen-fields on theside, and terminating in the Chalk road, where the line enters on a cutting gradually rising to an embankment, and crossing the Holloway road by means of a very elegant and tastefully con structed bridge. Returning to the works going on with a view to the completion of the London terminus, many rumours have been afloat as to the means by which it is intended that the Great Northern Railway shall meet the engineering difficulties presented by the interposition of the Regent's canal and the extensive works of the Imperial Gas Company in order to arrive at the Small Pox Hospital at King's-cross, where their permanent terminus is to be erected. The difficulty is solved by the construc• tion of a tunnel, the principal shaft of which is now open, opposite Randall's tile-kilns in Maiden•lane, which will open upon the main line on the eastern side of the Maiden-lane viaduct, befire described, and pass under the Regent's-canal in the same way as it was proposed by Mr. Madigan, one of the engineers of the North- Western, to carry the proposed railway under London, to the terminus in Farringdon-street. This tunnel has already been completed, although not opened at either end, from within a few yards of the Maiden lane viaduct to within a short distance of the northern side of the Regent's Canal. In order to pass under the canal from the point of the viaduct, until after passing the canal, the tunnel will necessarily be on a great incli nation to the south; but as soon as the canal is passed, the line will enter a cutting upon an incline the reverse way, and thus come into the permanent terminus at King's-cross. By this means also all the works, as well as the mains of the I m perial Gas Company, will be cleared without any difficulty. The company have already shown their spirit in the works which they have carried on, irrespective of the mere railway. Workmen have bean engaged for months past in constructing a large tunnel sewer from the works on the northern aide of the canal, emptying itself into the old Fleet-ditch, at King's cross, and which is now completed. A large number of houses have been removed , whic h formed the south eund-street, and the wester n s id e o f portion of the S ma ll pox Hos pitalverting a narrow and di rty thorough fare into a splendid ma cadamised r oad of sixty feet in walls, thus con e m s a s t i e d r e n n - c l o a r n n e: r a o s f w E e d i ri gs a width. ataoycons was held On Fri to the p ro • E ASTERN UNION, da) A, at sp ß e a c tl ia le l y' lli s priety of authorising the directors to issue debenture shares to pay effetoitnegl, onfiathekisfrcia.ormz o ff a portion of the borrowed money; Me'. S. Bignold in the chair. The CEtatestas stated that the Act authorising the measure he had to submit received the Royal assent ou the 15th of last month. The object was to enable the directors to create new shares to pay off a portion of the debenture debt, and thus to place the capital in a posi tion to receive a dividend by removing a large amount of the present liabilities of the company • The mortgage debt at present amounted to 530,009/., a small portion of which was borrowed at tour per cent., another portion at six per cent., and the largest portion at five per cent. It was their intention to reduce the rate ot interest down to the lcwest a mount. and the mortgage debt to a sum not exceeding 350,0001. The traffic on the line produced about 125,0001. per annum, and, after de ducting working expenses, would leave a clear sum of between 60,0001. and 70,000/. a year. If the interest on the mortgage debt cjuld be reduced to 4 per cent. or per cent., it would leave a sum to divide among the shareholders. Wi th a clear sum of 60,000/. to meet a liability of 20,0001., he thought it reasonable to expect they would obtain money at a much lower rate of in terest than they paid at present. He moved a series of resolutions to the e ffect that the borrowed money should as soon as possible be permanently reduced to a sum not exceeding 350,0001.; that for this purpose the directors be authorised to create debenture shares and to raise thereon a Rana not exceeding 265,0001.; that the shares be of an atnount not exceeding 10/. per share and be entitled t o a rate of interest not exceeding 4i. pe; cent. if issued in perpetuity, or 5 per cent, if redeemable within fourteen year.; and that every holder of a mort gage or bond now due, or to become due on or before January 1,1851, be offered payment of it in the propor tion of one-half its amount by " debenture shares," and one-half in a now mortgage. Mr. CAYLET seconded the motion. In reply to questions from Mr. Baowsr, it was stated that every shilling of the money raised. on those shares would be paid into the Bank of England and be appro priated exclusively to the payment of the bondholders. The amount raised by the issue of the 10 per cent, pre ference shares was 50,000/., but it was intended to re deem them as soon as possible. Tnis money was raised in compliance with the request of a meeting of the shareholders against the judgment of the directors, and it was urged at the time by the former, that borrowing money at 10 per cent. for a short period would be less injurious to the company than borrowing the same sum at 6 per cent. for a long period. The resolutions were unanimously carried. Mr. CAYLEY said, they were in hopes of obtaining the money they required at a reasonable rate of inters at in consequence of the state of the money market and of the increase of traffic on the line. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. EAST LANCASUIRE. The thirteenth half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the company's station at Bury. Mr. Thomas Dugdale, deputy chairman, pre sided; and there was an unusually large attendance of proprietors. The company's seal was affixed to the registry of proprietors, and the report, of which the following are the principal points, was taken as read:— " The directors have not undertaken any new works during the past-half year. They are now in communi catton with the Lancashire and Yorkshire board re specting the abandonment of the Dock Branch at Liver pool; and, if this measure be decided upon, the land will be re-sold, and your portion of the proceeds applied in reduction of the capital account. The directors have, during the past half-year, used every exertion to obtain payment of calls in arrear, and are enabled to state that the total amount of arrears has been reduced to 12,0001., of which sum it is expected that at least one half will be recovered. At the extraordinary meeting held on the 20th March last, the company determined to raise an additional capital of 304.0004, by the creation of Preference Fifth Shares.' These shares were created under the 15th section of the East Lancashire Railway Act, 1849, which in express terms authorises the company to issue the shares upon such conditions, and with such prefer ence of dividend, not exceeding ten per cent., as the pro prietors might determine; and, pursuant to this provi sion, a dividend of six per cent. for the first five years, and five per cent. in perpetuity, was secured to the shares, the company having the option of redeeming them at par in June, 1855. The shares were offered to the shareholders, in accordance with the resolution of that meeting; but either from the very heavy call made upon them, or the terms not being sufficiently favourable, the stock has not been generally taken up; 48,069 of these shares now remain on hand. This circumstance has rendered it necessary that some other mode should be adopted for the purpose of disposing of such of the preference fifth shares as are still unappropriated; and the directors have thought it expedient and only just to the proprietors that, before offering them to the public on modified terms, the proprietors should have an oppor tinity of taking them; and, accordingly, the directors will have to submit a resolution for the approbation of the shareholders at the meeting on this subject. This resolution will be so framed as to preserve the strictly legal character of the stock. Referring to the revenue accounts the proprietors will observe that the profit for the half-year is 34,6801. - 17 s. Bd., which leaves the sum of 11,872/. lls. sd. applicable to divi dend uposa the ordinary share capital of the company, after paying interest on loans and all preference charges. Among the causes which have been in operation to im pede the natural and progressive increase of the traffic of the railway, the unfortunate occurrence of the previ ous half-year must be mentioned, as having so impaired the efficiency of the company's working stock as to pro duce numerous delays and great irregularities in the conduct of both the goods and passenger traffic. The influence of these causes on the traffic of the railway is now disappearing. The working stock is in good con dition, and the public confidence in the punctuality and efficiency of the line is becoming gradually restored. During the past half-year the receipts of the company have been diminished by a severe competition with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company. - A negotiation has, however, been recently opened, which may probably lead to some arrangement for putting an end to this competition. The arrangement, if made, is expected to be concurred in by the London and North-Western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies; and by removing competition from the district will largely increase the traffic receipts, as it will enable the com pany to advance the rates, and at the same time materially reduce the working expenses. The company may calculate upon the early opening of the Preston Extension Line, and the completion of the railway at Preston. The opening of this portion of the railway is of great importance, as it will at once relieve the com pany from the payment out of revenue of the toll to the lessees of the North Union Railway, and the cost in curred in carting goods between Bamber-bridge and Preston, amounting together to about 8,0001. per annum; and it will also place the company in a thorougly inde pendent and satisfactory position in that important town." The amount still to be expended of the estimate for completing the railway submitted to the last general meeting is 498,003/, the expenditure during the half year ending June 30, 1850, having been 172,4891. The statement of traffic receipts and expenditure shows a balance in favour of the company of 34,6801,, the re e,eipts having been 77,1671., and the expenditure 42,4871 The directors have unanimously elected Mr. C. W. Eborall to the office of general manager, at a salary of 4001. per annum, subject to increase, according to the amount of dividend paid by the company. When pay ing 6 per cent. dividend the manager's salary will be 1,0001. per andum, where it is to remain. The directors stated iu a note, that several matters of importance af fecting the general interests of the company would no doubt be discussed at the meeting; but they had re solved to trust to the proprietors assembled for support, rather than put the company to the expense of proxies, and they urged upon the proprietors the importance of personal attendance. Tne CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. Having expressed his regret that the late chairman, John Grundy, Esq., should have felt it necessary to retire from office, Mr. Dugiale said the directors were all con scious of having done their duty; and contrary to their nsual cestom, they had put, some days ago, into the hands of the shareholders the accounts and the reports, which exhibited a plain, unmistakable, and comprehen sive view of the condition of the company. The results of the opening of the branch into Preston would be very beneficial. The total outlay upon those works would be 163,5001.; and even with the present traffic it would pay 5 per cent. upon the outlay. He was happy to be able to state that a train had passed over the Ribble on the previous day, and it would be open for Government inspection on the 18th of next month. But he was of opinion that they must look as much to increased rates as to increased traffic for a good dividend.—(llear, hear.) To show the effect of the present low rates, he might say that for the last half-year the traffic be• tween four stations on the Liverpool line and four stations on the East Lancashire Railway had been 211 per cent, more than during the last half-year of 1849, while the increased receipts had only been 3i per cent. greater than in that half-year. Had the charges made in , 1849 been in existence, the receipts would have been 171- per cent. more; with the charges made when the line was opened, 59i per cent. more; or with the rates charged by the canal company before the lino was opened, 106 per cent. more.—(Hear, hear.) The chairman, after expressing an opinion that the passing of Ricardo's Bill would benefit the interests of the line, moved the adoption of the report. Mr. BROWN seconded the motion. Mr. JOHN GRUNDY, the late chairman of the board, having expressed a conviction against the propriety of appropriating money for dividend which should have bees applied to the traffic account, alluded at some length to his retirement from the chair. He said (as he had stated in a letter to the board) that he retired be cause of the renewal of arrangements with other com panies, and the refusal of the board to carry out a finan cial scheme which he had previously proposed for the extrication of the line from its difficulties. If the board had been unanimous in its policy, if it had had any policy at all, ho should never have deserted his post. llis opi nion was, some time ago, that the control of this district should have been permanently handed over to some other company. :Of their present system of patching up traffic ho could not approve; nor, seeing in how many cases the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company had broken faith with them, would he ogl, e to their entering into any ar rangements with that company, except they were made under an Act of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Had they continued in competition up to last autumn, the li ne would, he believed, have got into possession of some ether company, which he thought it ought to do as speedily as possible. Mr. BLACKLOCR defended the Lancashire and York shire Company from the attack which Mr. Grundy had made upon them. Mr. THOMAS WRIGLEY (who has lately resigned his seat at the board) said he was not surprised that the shareholders in this line should frequently complain. It had now been in existence for six years and a half, dur ing which time the property had been gradually but steadily declining, till they had at length come to a one per cent. dividend. At present the East Lancashire was the worst-managed lino in the kingdom, and if there were fewer complaints than there nsed to be of the management, it was only because people were tired of complaining. Their arrangements with other companies appeared to show an abject submission to the two cap tams, Laws and Iluish---(Hear, hear)—and he could not helieve that any arrangement made with these two gen tlemen could result advantageously to the East Lanca shire Company. As to the Sunday travelling, he denied the right of the directors to settle that question, which ought to the determined by the general body of share holders. He concluded by moving that the report be not adopted, the board as at present coastituted not having , the confidence of the shareholders. Mr. E. Rossorr seconded the amendment. Mr. PENRICE, R.E., said the present condition of the line was in a very great measure owing to the traffic having been carried by a number of competing com panies, which led to the reduction of rates. The low rates had brought the canal company to an arrange ment, which (he spoke advisedly) would raise the company's receipts 200 per cent. along the entire distance of the canal —(Llear, hutif.) Money to the amount of a quarter of a million 11,4 been invested in this line upon the representations be had always made of the capabilities of the district, and if the arrange ments with the canal company were adopted, thu local traffic would be developed to an extent of which it ap peared few, even of the proprietors in the line, had any coneeption. _ After a discussion of some four hours, which was only terminated by the departure of a train for Manchester by which many of the shareholders were desirous to proceed, a division took place, and the original motion was carried by a large majority. Resolutions declaring a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. were carried; and it' was also resolved that the recently created preference fifths should he offered to the shareholders at par—if not taken up, the remaiader to be disposed of to the preference shareholders at !Os. per share discount. Some discussion took place with respect to the low charges of the company; and the proceedings terminated after a discussion of six hours. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY . . TIMES.—We publish elsewhere an authentic copy of the protocols finally agreed upon and executed on Fri day last at the Foreign-office by the Plenipotentiaries of the chief Powers of Europe. The principal articles of this declaration were already imperfectly known to the public by the versions of the former protocol given in the German journals ; but as some doubt has been thrown on the intentions of the great Powers, on the language of this document, and on its application to the present state of affairs in Germany and the Duchies, we hope that the production of the agreement itself, as de finitively executed by all the foreign Ministers concerned, and in the presence of the Charge d'Affaires of Austria, will promote its object, and hasten the cessation of an unjust and unnatural war. No time should, therefore, be lost in bringing this distinct announcement of the principles recognized by the Conference to the know ledge of those who commenced this insurrection, and are still instigating these hostilities. We have no doubt that the German Governments ate, one and all of them, heartily sick of the very name of Schleswig-Holstein, and that although some of them may have had the baseness to regard this contest as a safety-valve to relieve the revolu tionary pressure on themselves at the expense of an unoffending neighbour and confederate, the wisest states men of Germany have long since discovered thnt this struggle serves to keep alive all those bad passions of the late general convulsion, which have done the rulers and the nation incalculable injury. It cannot, therefore, be supposed that the Governments represented by the Conference of London are really at variance with the Governments of Germany on thia question, or that Prussia herself can have the f a t u i t y t o adhere to a course entirely isolated from the common policy of the rest of Europe. The false steps heretofore taken in her name prove, no doubt, very embarrassing to her now; but it is not unfair that she should expiate an outrage by an inconsistency, and the Cabinet of Berlin probably rejoices at this very moment that the other Powers of Europe are taking a course calculated to ac complish that which she herself is least able to attempt or to avow. The contention, then, lies not between the German States and the rest of Europe, but between the misguided and excited public opinion of Ger many, which has been decoyed into its present humilia tions by a strange mixture of enthusiasm and intrigue, and the public law and policy of Europe as laid down with authority by a free conference of the great Powers. The question is, which of these forces is to decide ibis controversy, and to govern the world. If the popular passions of the Germanic race are to give the law, they are leading to a war as destructive in its effects as it has been ridiculous in its causes—a war of which Germany herself would be the theatre and the victim. For half a century Europe had accustomed itself to look upon the warlike passions of the French democracy as the greatest peril to the general peace. Perhaps we did injustice to the thrift and disposition of France; for certain it is that the Government sprung from universal suffrage has shown no disposition to attack other countries, and the agitators who speculated on war as a means of revolution have failed to gain a hearing. But that class of nefarious agitators has unhappily turned with snore effect to Ger many. There they have succeeded it deluding a large por tion of thepeople into a betel' -that their honour and in terests as a nation are mixed up with this Danish con test, and if the question were now to be decided by popular Assemblies or German democratic bodies, it would be blown at ell hazer& into a perfect conflsgra lion. They have yet to learn that a popular war-cry is as foolish as it is odious, until that solemn day comes when the violation of some positive right, the aggres sion of a foreign Power, or some stain upon the public honour which nothing else can efface, calls as entire nation, reluctant but unanimous, to the field. It is su perfluous to add, that it becomes the duty of the German Governments, and of the rest of Europe, temperately but firmly to resist these dangerous passions and illusions, which, indeed, can scarcely be said to belong to the true nature or character of tne German people, although they have been profusely strewn among them by the destruc tive bands which have lately passed over that country. Morally speaking, the Conference of London now stands pledge d to maintain the ground of legal rights ' and the cause of peace against this aggressive spirit. Practically, that object can only be se cured by causing the insurgent army in Schles wig-Holstein, now hourly recruited by German adherents, and supplied by German contributions, to dis perse and lay down its arms. We give the Conference full credit for having accomplished the first of these ob jects by its declaration; but that object tells for compa ratively little in flagrant war, and the repetition of such sanguinary battles as that of Idstedt will be now more than ever an opprobrium to Europe. If the Holsteiners and Germans are fighting for the acquisition of Schles wig, they are fighting fur that which they are now dis tinctly told they shall never have; for though we trust that Denmark will still scorn to owe to foreign aid what she can do alone, there can now be no doubt that a moment ary success by the opposite party would only bring about a more total defeat of their cause by such forces as the case might require. If the Holsteiners are fighting for the rights of their own duchy, that is a subject perfectly open to discussion and amicable arrangement. Of reasonable causes of war they have literally none, and they are playing at a game at which it is impossible for them to win the stakes, while they are throwing away the rights ou which they might rely in negotiation by risk ing them in the field. For instance, Schleswig is already de facto and de jure conquered, and if there were any arguments for her independence before, they are now disposed of by the battle of Idstedt. One more such defeat, and the fate of Holstein will be en tirely in the hands of the Court of Copenhagen; and while the Stadtholderate speculates on drawing Ger many on to interfere in its behalf, it is in reality draw• ing the rest of Europe on . to resist its pretensions. These considerations are decisive as to the expediency of making peace, even in the interests of the Duchies, if policy and public duty are to decide that question, The guilt of prolonging the war rests, in the first in stance, on its authors, who have still the power of ter minating its horrors; but if they persist in their reckless course, it would become the duty of all the parties to the protocol of London to consider and to adopt the most direct and effectual means of putting an end to such a contest. POST.—From certain indications which, during the last three days, have become perceptible to these who are closely observant of diplomatic movements, we are induced to believe that within that period a con ference was held at the Foreign office on the affairs of Denmark which cannot fail to produce the most benefi• cial results. We understand that the decision arrived at by the Plenipotentiaries is declaratory, and that it pro nounces in favour of the maintenance, under the sove reignty of the Danish Crown of the Vrritories of Schiele wig and Holstein, without, however, i n t h e case o f t h e latter duchy, weakening its relations with the German Confederacy. This, of course, implies an approval— we, have even heard that such an approval is distinctly expressed of the projected measures by which the King of Denmark has proposed to regulate the royal succession. Whether the representatives of Austria and Prussia have yet attached their signatures to the im portant document in question, we have not been informed, but we believe there is no doubt that it has been signed by her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and by the Ministers of Russia, France, Denmark, and Sweden. The three greatest Powers of Europe have, thus, agreed on a course of policy, the moral effect of which is to secure the integrity of the Danish dominions, and to combine the preservation of peace with the ad • vancement and security of commerce. Not many weeks ago we were told by the organs of a busy and mischievous faction that England was iso lated from the other states of Europe. M. Drouyn de Lhuye, it was said, had left the Court of St. James's to return no more. Baron Bruunow sometimes had gone—sometimes was only going—but most certainly could not remain. The influence of England was shivered like the porcelain of M. Pacifico, and the name of Palmerston had been afExed for the last time to any convention of European importance. Such prophecies were not confined to that versatile and de graded portion of the press which is ever ready to back the current falsehood of the day; but, as our readers well know, there were men whose character and position entitled us to expect from them better things who conde scended to aid in the most discreditable movement which has disgraced the annals of modern policy. Alone in what is called the Conservative press, we persevered in the consistent and independent sup Port of the cause of truth and justice, and, from day to day, we exposed the base fabrications and dishonest purposes of the enemies of our country. We foretold the issue which is now patent to the world. Lord Palmerston has vindicated the honour of England and maintained her high place i among the nati ons o f the earth. The ink s not dry in which the miserable predictions referred to were written when Russia and France are united with Great Britain in a public act which demonstrates a cordial good under . on Saturday night Mr. Williams attended two meet ' ings of the electoral body, one held at Wilcock's Assem bly Rooms, Newington-causeway, and the other the school-room, Great Suffolk•street, in the Borough. At both the lion. Gentleman was received with the same enthusiassm which hag characterised his progress throughout the canvass, and resolutions in his favour wero, as before, unanimously adopted. A public meeting took place at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell, and was attended by Admiral Napier, who during the day had paraded the various districts in an open barouche, drawn by four cream•coloured horses, and attended by a gay cortege. the spontaneous aid and contribution of Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astley'a Am phitheatre. After Sir Charles Napier had addressed the meeting to the same effect us his speech at the Borns Tavern, K-nnington. on Friday night (end reported in The Sim of Saturday last), Mr. KNIGHT moved, and Mr. T. THORNLEY seconded a resolution, " That the meeting considered him, Admiral Napier, a proper person to re present the borough of Lambeth in Parliament."—((,oud cheers, interrupted by disapprobation.) Mr. T. B. BARKER moved as an amendment, " That William Williams is the most fit and prover person to represent the borough of Lambeth."—(Cheers and uproar.) . • The amendment was seconded by Mr. WILSON, and a scene of no ordinary tumult and uproar ensue d. Several of the adherents of Mr. Williams presented themselves to address the meeting, but in vain, amid the storm of hisses and counter-cheers, were their efforts to obtain a hearing. At length the Chairman put the amendment and resolu tion, when the former was declared to be lest, and the latter carried. RAILWA think., intRKETS. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 3. STOCK EXCIIANG/s.—There has been a firm market to-day. The leading stocks and shares show a decided improvement, and, with a very fair business done, the market closed very fimly indeed, with every appearance of a further improve ment. BIRMINGHAM, AUG. 3. STOCK EXCHANGE.—We have little change to notice in the share market. A small business has been done, but rates generally were firm at last quotations. The only trans actions reported were -London and North-Western, buyers, !11 ; sellers, 111 1 4—Midland, buyers, 331,i ; sellers, 34 1 4 North Staffordshire, b u y ers , 4 1 A ; sellers, 4 ds. —South Staf fordshire, buyers, 4%; sellers, 4 dis.—Shropshire Union, 44 sellers, 3% dis.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT EDINDURGII.—n meeting of the various sections commenced on Thursday, in the University, the class-rooms of which were set apart for the purpose. In the section of mathematical science, Mr. F. Ronald made a report on the observations and experiments at the Kew observatory, and the Rev. Baden Powell read a paper -on luminous meteors. Reports were also read by Mr. W. S. M. Rankine on the laws of the elasticity of solids; by Professor G. S. Stokes, on metallic reflections; by the Rev. Mr. Powell, on .the refractive indices of several sub stances, and by the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, on the magnitude, velocity, and phenomena of Atlantic waves. In the the I:nistry section Dr. George Wilson stated a few unpublished particulars respecting the character and habits of the late Dr. Black. Professor Voeliker discoursed on the per centage of nitrogen as an index to the nutritive value of food. Papers were also read by Mr. Henry Taylor on the chemical composition of the rocks of the coal formation, and by Mr. J. P. Poule on some amalgams. Mr. J. R. Gassiot reported on a peculiar form produced in diamonds under the influence of the voltaic arc. Mr. H. C. Sorby also read a paper on carbon. In the geological section reports were made by Sir Roderick Murchison, Professor E. Forbes, Mr. Brice, Dr. Cullen, and Mr. Omerod. In the natural history section papers were read by Dr. Hugh Cleghhom, Sir J. Dalgell, Professor Royal, Mr. Hancock, Dr. Embleton, Mr. C. Babington, Dr. M'Donald. The lecturers in the ethological section were Dr. E. Hincks, Professor Rungate, and Mr. D. Wilson. In the mechanical section papers were reed by Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Stokes, Mr. Homersham Cox, Mr. Ruthven, Mr. Macpherson, and Mr. James Nasymth. In the statistical section a very interesting paper was read by Mr. G. R. Porter of the Board of Trade. The sectional meetings terminated at three in the afternoon, and in the evening a general meeting was held, when a discourse was delivered by Professor Bennet on the passage of blood through the minute vessels of animals in connexion with nuitrition. FATAL OUTRAGE AT rATRINGTON.—An inquest, adjourned from the previous week, was held on Satur day last at Welwick, about two miles from Patrington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, before Mr. Iveson, coroner, on the bodies of four men, who came by their deaths under the following circumstances:—The Commis sioners of Woods and Forests are reclaiming from the sea eeveral hundred acres of land upon Sunk Island, situate at the mouth of the Humber, and have in their employ on the island a considerable number of " navvies." Part of these are Irishmen, and either from some provocation offered, or to have a monopoly of labour in the district, the English labourers resolved to drive i the others from th e i s l an d . As sembling, therefore, on the 19th ult., they hoisted a dark coloured handkerchief as a signal for the attack, and bore down upon five Irishmen, working together upon the eastern portion of the island, assailing them violently with sticks and stones. The poor fellows, taking flight, made for the water's edge at a point where the ferry-boat plies to the mainland at Welwick. The waterman happened, however, to be on the opposite side, and the Irishmen then, rather than await their pursuers, plunged into the water, and endeavoured to gain the shore. Only one of them succeeded in this; the re maining four were drowned in sight of the other " navvies," who, with a brutality scarcely credible, made no effort to save them. At low tide the bodies were ',covered, and as already stated, an inquest (to which the reporters of the press were not admitted) was held upon them. which was adjourned to Saturday last, when the inquiry was again ad journed. The channel over which the deceased attempted to swim was only from 15 to 20 yards wide, but at the time of the occurrence a strong tide was flowing. The affair has made a great sensation in the secluded district in which it took place. TITCHFIELD.—WO regret that it is our duty to record the re-appearance of the potato blight. We had hoped some two or three weeks since that no trace of the disease would this year exhibit itself, but we are sadly dis appointed.

LIABILITY OF CONTRIBUTORIES UNDER THE WIND.. LNG•UP ACT AND THE INSOLVENT Couma.---The important question of the liability of contributories for calls under the joint Stock Companies Winding-up Act, petitioning for their discharge under the Insolvent :Debtors Act, came on last week before Mr. Sergeant Dowling in the County Court of Yorkshire. Five Insolvents, named Purchon, Bul lock, Kerr, Midgley, and Wild. came up to be heard on their petition for discharge. The opposition was instituted by Mr. Goodchap, the official manager, at the direction of the Master in Chancery Kindersley, who had placed the five petitioners on the list of contributories as promoters of an undertaking called the Wesleyan Newspaper Association, the liabilities in connexion with whith amount to some 7,000/. A further call of 41. per share had been made, and for non payment the insolvents were committed to York Castle for contempt of court. It was contended by counsel for tbe , offi cial manager that. by the 88th section of the Joint-Mock Stock Companies Whiding-up Act, the insolvents could not .be discharged, that section being a portion of an Act pissed subsequently to the general Insolvent Debtors Act, and con sequently superseded the latter; in reply to which, on the part of ,the petitioners, it was urg , d that there was nothing in the 88th section of the Winding-up . Act to control th e working or militate agains t the .55th section cf the Insolvent Debtors Act. His Ho nour acquiesced in this latter view and the insolvents were discharged. VISIT Or PARISIAN EXCURSIONISTS. - -Yesterday a monster train, conveying no less than 1,400 Parisians, en an excursion to the metropolis, arrived at the London-Airidge terminus of the South -Eastern Railway. Every cab and means of conveyance in the Station and vicinity proved in adequate, and a number of omnibuses were engaged to carry them to their destination in Leicester-square. The, lengthy cavalcade, and the unusual app earance o f t h e excursionists, the majority being of the working class, en Neese, and' wear ing beards, attracted much curiosity. The hotels and lodg ing-houses had not sufficient accommodation, and numbers h . remain to be quartered in th e St ran d an d v icinity. They remai ua the metropolis till Tuesday.
