On returning from the east end of the yard, their lordships passed along the wharf th a e nd Sa e n xa to in re ed nzo t , h s e o, s b p u o i t ldi o n n g Nu w ynh a d l i l ce , hr at tiititeh is e a s t s e t rn s cont e mplated slip, and to build two other slips for shipbuilding purposes. The Rev. J. C. Connolly afterwards conducted their Lordships over the large room above the sawmills, at pres e nt occupied as a a c u h a u pe w r l ti for e the s and performancear;san artisans of of D f the dockyard, e theice for officers h ffi e t er the and seamen afloat, and the Royal Marines, who attend there every Sunday. Their Lordships were pleased to express to the Rev. J. C. Connolly their intention to have a chapel built for the use of those connected with the dockyard, and her Majesty's seamen afloat and Marines on shore, and that it should be constructed so as to accommodate 1,500 persons ; and on leaving the temporary chapel, p rocee d e d to a piece of ground on which some timber is stacked at present, but uncovered, at the west side of the garden attached to the Superin tendent's residencejon which it has been decided the new chapel shall be built. They then proceeded to the wharf-wall, where Commodore Henry Eden pointed out a plan which would greatly improve the low-water landing-place for those serving afloat, and Mr. Bernays submitted the plans having that object in view. Their Lordships at half-past 1 o'clock, proceeded to the pay office, and witnessed a muster of the whole of the men, each individual name being called, and each person having to pass singly through the office. The inspec tion lasted upwards of an hour. At the conclusion of the muster their Lordships expressed themselves highly pleased with the appearance of the workmen, and added that they had never seen a finer body of men. At a quarter before 3 o'clock their Lordships entered the residence of the Commodere Superintendent, and par took of a repast prepared for them, and after a short stay again resumed their official duty of inspection, visiting the factory, and inspecting the new screw pro pellers for the Hannibal, 90, the James Watt, 90, and the tube of the screw shaft of the Nile, 90, all in pro gress of being finished for these fine screw steamships —the former at Deptford, and the two latter at Devon port. After i passing through the machinery department, they entered the smith's shop, and subsequently the boilermakers' department where they saw the new machinery for making rivets at the rate of 40 per minute, and the joining of two pieces of boiler sheet-iron, and clinching the rivet al most instantaneously by two smart blows of a m pe ara d h ect ine, ma wh n i : h er ' ace° than uiP t ii h s e h h es an t d 4 tam wo m rk ers ili cotl f d ar e zli ffl l 7 Pas Sing from the boilermakers' department through the foundry, their lordships visited the store for screw pro pellers, and the beautifully kept steam-engine for work ing all the machinery in the factory, and after examining the boilers of the Hannibal, proceeded to the basin, and went on board the Janus steam vessel, reported as hav ing the dry rot to such a degree that it is expected the machinery will have to be taken out and the vessel be broken up. They then inspected the large mast of 104 feet in length, formed of small pieces of wood, compara tively to those hitherto used, and joined together with Jeffery 's marine glue, and intended for the centre mast of the new sheers to be put up on the wharf between the basin and the river. The mast weighs upwards of 16 tons. Their lordships also inspected the other two masts in the masthouse, now nearly finished, for the other parts of the sheers. They concluded their insp ection at the west end of the y ar d b y passing under and around the Royal Albert, 131, screw steamship, and again proceeded to the east end of the yard, to inspect the sawmill, and were much pleased to witness the manner in which th• futtocks or knee pieces of timber were cut by machinerY always a most difficult task w h en d one by hand. Mr., Thompson, in charge of the mills, was complimented by the First Lord on the efficient condition of the works under him, and during the inspection Sir James Gra ham surprised and gratified the persons in charge of the places he visited by the questions he put and the readi ness with which he comprehended all that came under his notice. After a short visit to the well-ventilated and excellently arranged blacksmiths' shop, and the building and dies used in the Nasinyth's hammer department, their lordships left, at 5 o'clock, for town. A Prince of Prussia, with three attendants, arrived at the dockyard about a quarter of an hour after their lordships, and was conducted over the establishment by Lieutenant Gore, Mr. Chatfield, and Mr. Trickett. 2. ~ it. 47 IN,, Rh Julb LonoN AND NORTH-WESTERN RAIL CURR/orp•--CONTINUATION of MARCUS'S CHEAP EX; o ctit ,zi rßoDif LONDON and BACK, TO LIVERPOOL o.

He had the goodness to permit me to discuss the subject with him, and I tried to impress upon the mind of his Holiness the ad vantages that would inevitably accrue to the Roman Catholics of Ireland if they were to resort to those col leges, and I must say that the Pope, who appeared to me adorned with every Christian virtue, talked to me with great liberality upon the subject. He said what was most fair, namely, that he much preferred that Ro man Catholics should have Roman Catholic instructors if possible. Gentlemen, I believe that is impossible in the present posture of afairs. You must send your sons to instructors of mixed sects, but no evil need be appre hended on this account. T rinity college has flourished on this system for many years, and has turned out many men of great eminence and distinction ; and why there should exist any scruple on the part of the Roman Ca tholics to enter those colleges I never could understand. I, therefore, most earnestly advise those among you who can afford to do so, to send your sons to the Queen's College of Gal w ay, w h ere , a t a very small expense, they can obtain a n e d uca ti on th a t will qualify them for the highest offices of the State. I hope most sincerely that this auspicious d a y will lead to the most happy results. I have ce r t a i n r i g h ts as a landlord. M y tenan t s have contracted to pay cer t a i n rents to me, an d these rents I expect to be p a id. I h ope those rents are mo d era t e . I intend to hav e a reva l uation of my estates.

These rents ought to and t e indeed unpleasant a m m certain, :a eu r t e h s a f t e itr theirwill recovery. But from your own p ro f ess i ons, an d t h e cha racter given of you —a character that, from my own brief observations, I am disposed to concur in .I hope and believe there will never be a law-suit between us. (Cries of " never , " and loud cheers.) I hope that the word " driver" will be always unknown on the Moycul len estate. I hope that the present is an era of prospe rity and a new order of things for the who,le of Ireland.. Your sufferings have been dreadful, and bave beeii borne in a Christian and manly manner, and I hope theta long future of uninterrupted prosperity will reward your exer tions and your sufferings. I observe everywhere evident symptoms of improvement. Your prospects and cha racter are advancing ; and I anticipate from your indus try—your exertions and the encouragement I am ready and willing to afford—that the country will assume as appearance of prosperity, and that our just and reason able anticipations will be fulfilled. It would delight me, indeed, if the unexpected circumstance of my becoming proprietor would afford an additional inducement to blend Protestants and Catholics, Englishmen and Irish men, in harmonious and uninterrupted intercourse toge ther.

CREWS'S CHLORIDE OF ZINC, the beet and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification of Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, W ater-closets, ; the Disin fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of Contagion. Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this obstacle to its universal ap , lication as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Buinett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Cheadsts and Shippins Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. Gd. each, and in larger vessels at fis. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Concentrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be d iluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hygeian System of Medicine and the Vegetable Universal Medicine ( Morison's Pills), after thirty-five years of inexpressible suffering under the medical faculty :—" James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Mori son, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great a filu ence and respectability, and the subject of this brief sketch was the second brother of John Morison, late member for Banffshire. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and after wards at Hanau, in Germany, being intended for the mercan tile profession. After finishing his studies, he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and sutrequently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. liming suffered much from ill health, he was obliged to leave that country and pro ceed to Europe, seeking irom change of clime a restoration to health. is e cannot do better than describe the following interesting particulars given by himself in the Moilsoniana:—" A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been :o - gotten, and the world could have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' Health and old age are within the reach of us all.'

Tik/I AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri eangdesle.sslmmpoodtiefinceaytionsLoocwale a n n e d ir C a o lm ns o t s it t u e ti n o t n ir a e l o l ii ir g egt . ness, and their ne cessary that all men should know that there are It is absolutely Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequent es shay be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empiries, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The Lord Chief Justice of England, who has been for the last week visiting his extensive estates in the west of Ireland, fixed on Monday last for the purpose of en tertaining his numerous tenantry at Moycullen, a place picturesquely situated near the shores of Loch Corrib, about seven miles from Galway. The occasion was a highly interesting one for the general effect of the scene, but was -still more so for the sentiments to which his lordship gave expression in addressing the numerous as semblage, and for the effect which those sentiments are likely to produce on public opinion in Ireland. The dinner was given in the Nationza School-rooms, where several hundreds of the peasantry were entertained with an abundance of excellent and substantial fare, and at ' the principal table besides Lo r d C am pb e ll, ho pre sided, sat Hon. Miss Campbell, Hon. Dudley Camp bell, Campbell, Esq., Rev. Francis Kenny, P.P., Thomas H. Barton, Esq., J. Kinkaid, Esq., George Booker, Esq., J. F. Blake, Esq., &c. Lord Campbell having proposed the toasts of " The Queen" and "The Lord Lieutenant," which were duly honoured, his lordship's own health was then proposed by the Rev. Mr. Kenny, the parish priest. The noble host, whose rising was the signal for re newed and very enthusiastic demonstrations of applause, in responding to the toast, said—l should indeed be unworthy of the praises bestowed on me by your reve rend pastor if I were not deeply touched by the kind ness with which you hailed the mention of my name. The sentiments that your excellent clergyman gave ex pression to are worthy of the Christian pastor. (Cheers.) They breathe good will to men, and teach us to live in harmony and happiness. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall be delighted at all times to co-ope Tate with my reverend friend in everything that can contribute to your im provement and welfare. (Loud cheers.) He has said —and said truly--that it was with much reluctance that I became an Irish proprietor, and, indeed, it was a very unexpected event in my life, but I hope that event may lead to happiness on your part and upon mine. (Hear and cheers.) I must confess that my connection with you has not led to any pecuniary advantage, but to a very heavy pecuniary loss, but I impute no blame to you. (Hear.) You have been struggling with the dispensations of Divine Providence. First came famine, then pestilence, and it became impossible for you to pay your rents as you were accustomed to do ; and I am sorry to say, gentlemen, that well-intended but unwise le gislation, added to your calamities. (Hear, hear.) There were measures which Government thought might be ad vantageous, but which proved disastrous, such as the Labour Rate Act, upon which millions were squandered without affording relief, and to the permanent detriment of Ireland. Then, gentlemen, the poor law, although charitably intended, was not very considerately worked out, and, in consequence, wreck followed upon wreck. Landlords were involved in embarrassments. They bor rowed money, and then came in fatal succession mort gages and receivers, until the unfortunate tenants k new not who was their landlord, or whom they should pay. One said, "I am the mortgagee, pay me." Another said, " I am the representative of the Court of Chan cery ; you must pay me." Then came the collector of the poor rate, or the collector of the labour rate, and threatened a distress, and the unfort una t e tenant knew not where to turn for relief and assistance ; so that un der those circumstances I am not surprised that he should come to the determination of paying nobody at all. But the truth is, the tenants were terrified, because they knew not whom they should pay ; they were almost afraid to have a pig in their cottage lest it should be dis trained by the collector of poor rates or county cess. But I trust those bad times have passed away. You now know who your landlord is ; you know your obli gations ; you know how much you have to pay, and to whom, and that when you have paid the rent you con tracted to pay, that all the rest is your own. (Cheers.) I trust that what your truly Christian pastor said will not be forgotton, and that you will enjoy the fruits of your own honest industry. Ido not wish to make large promises, for I well know how little I can do to fulfil your wishes and mine ; but I can unaffectedly and ear nestly declare, that justice shall be done, and that your comfort and happiness will be ever near my heart. Gentlemen, I cannot express how delighted I felt at the reception I met to-day. I believe that three score of my tenantry, mounted on horseback, came out to meet me three miles from Moycullen. I rejoice. sincerely rejoice, that your character deserves the high eulogy passed upon it by your reverend pastor. (Loud cheers.) Though I think many advantages might arise by the holdings being larger than they are at present, I will never endeavour to bring about such a state of things by evictions, or any harsh measures whatsoever. (Applause.) I believe where emigration is voluntary— where it is spontaneous—where, perhaps, the emigrants seek to rejoin their beloved relatives, and to ameliorate their condition—l believe under such circumstances it may be for their advantage, and for the advantage of those who remain behind, because their departure leads to an enhanced demand for labour, and employment becomes more fixed and constant. I believe in such cases that it would be an advantageous change to the tenant, instead of holding a miserable patch of land on which he bestows his labour for a few weeks, and in winter becomes destitute, to go where he will be a well employed labourer, and receive his 2s. or 2s. 6d. a day, and would be enabled to maintain his family more com fortably than by holding that miserable patch of land. When yon are willing to surrender your holdings, so as to have them conjoined with others, I shall rejoice ; but God forbid I should ever sanction the turning out of families who did not know where to shelter their heads but in the union workhouse. (Loud applause.) Hav ing become your landlord I wish to address to you a few further observations. In former times, the pro perty of which I became the owner, both in Moycullen and in Barna, had much i n fl uence i n P ar li amentary elections, both for the city and the county of Galway. Now, gentlemen, I tell you that I never will interfere with your exercise of the elective franchise. (Pro longed cheering.) I hope that you are all loyal—that you are all attached to the British Constitution • but as to party politics, make your own choice, ancll know my rev. friend will never improperly interfere. (Loud cheers.) It has been said that Roman Catholic priests have interfered improperly in politics ; I am convinced my rev, friend, your respected pastor, never will, and I apprehend you shall incur no danger in conscientiously exercising your own judgments, and voting for the man who you honestly believe-will confer the greatest amount of benefit upon you. (Cheers.) Then, gentle men, with reference to another subject. I believe that most of you adhere to the religion of your forefathers — the Roman Catholic faith. (Cheers.) 1, gentlemen, was brought up a Protestant, and am sincerely con vinced of the truth of the tenets of my religion. I shall be the last maa in the world to interfere with religious liberty, nor would I ever encourage any improper efforts to proselytise. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Let every man worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. (Applause, again and again re newed.) I have been long a member of Parliament, and I have always stood up for the just rights of my Ro . man catholic fellow subjects, and I earnestly supportedt the Roman ca- Tholicemancipation. (Cheers.) I was told tha Roman catholics would not be satisfied with obtaining perfect equality, but they also require ascendancy and exclusion. I said, however, "let us grant them all they are justly entitled to, and if they ask for more, let us make a stand against them." (Cheers.) t I confess there are certain doctrines called "ultramona ne," which I cannot approve of, for they involve principles ancestors before the Reformation refused that your to sanction, and never ceased to resist. (Hear.) They never would allow England, Ireland, or Scotland, to been, tobe in somesubiect in stances, of ` foreign power. Those doctrines h revived, and they are such a nature that they cannot expect my a pp r obation, n n or that of any sincere friend of religious equality and liberty of conscience. I am for equality, and against wish my Roman c f e ll o w-subjects asc endancy. (Cheers.) I catholi should have the free, undisturbed enjoyment of everything necessary for the exercise of their religion and the celebration of its rites and ceremonials —but if they will not allow their fellow Christians o f other sects to enjoy the s privi leges , then, I say, they are unreasonable, and should be resisted. (Cries of " We never will.") Since I came to Ireland, it afforded me sincere pleasure to find the great mass of the people sound and reasonable in their views. They are not bigoted—they are not intolerant, but ap pear willing to live in peace and harmony w i t h all p e rsuasions. Th ere is one other topic resp ec ti ng which I would wish to make a few observations —I mean the establishment of the Queens Colleges in Ireland. Gen tle men, I believe that the intentions of the English government are most pure and disinterested, and that no ill intentions existed respecting those establishments. Every possi ble precaution has been t a k en to guar d the faith and mora ls of the students from danger. I there fore deeply regret that there was any oppos i t i on exc i ted against those establishments. I happened during the The Marlborough, 131, screw.—The alteration of this mighty vessel's bows already shows a vast improve ment, by giving her a fine entrance, so necessary to a stea mer of any pretension to speed. We have no doubt that had the Duke of Wellington the same advantage she would gain a knot an hour. The Marlborough will not only be a much larger ship than the Duke, but she will be also a faster ship, as every alteration will be an improvement in this already magnificent war steamer— the largest, at present, in the world. Commander Charles Royer, whose death on the 24th inst. is noticed in the obituary of The San of this day, was a gallant veteran, and one of Nelson's officers, as will be seen by the following epitome of his services, from 0' B'yrne's Naval Biography :—" Charles Royer entered the navy in the spring of 1794 as A.B. on board the Swirtsure, 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral W. Parker in the West Indies. He was afterwards, while serving in the same ship under Captain Benjamin Hallo well, most actively employed in the Mediterranean, where he fought at the battle of the Nile, took part as a midithipman in many important operations on the coast of Italy, and was present on the 24th of June, 1801, in a desperate engagement of more than an hour's duration, which reduced the Swiftsure to a wreck, and rendered her a prize to a French squadron of four sail-of-the-line under Rear-Admiral Ganteaume. Joining next as master's mate the Chamelion brig, Captain Thomas Staines, he assisted in the boats of that ship at the capture of several armed feluccas near Tarragona. He served subsequently in the Sent, 74, and Victory, 100, flag-ships of Sir Richard Bickerton and Lord Nelson, both in the Me diterranean, where he was made lieutenant on the 19th of November, 1804, in the Madras, 54, Captain Charles M. Schomberg, and where, from August, 1 805 , until paid off in August, 1809, he served in the Ambuscade, 32, Captain William D'Urban. His last appointment was in May, 1810, to the Astrma, of 42 guns and 471 men, commanded by his former captain, S c homberg, under whom, w hil e cru ising, on the 20th of May, 1811, off Madagascar, in company with the Phoebe and Galatea frigates (similar in force to the Astrma), and the 18-gun brig Racehorse, he assisted, after a long and warmly-contested action with the French 40-gun frigates Renomm6e, Clorinde, and Nerdide, and a lods to the Astrma of two killed and 16 wounded, at the capture of the Renommte. On the surrender of the latter ship, he was sent in a sinking boat, accompanied by Lieutenant John Drury, R.M., and five seamen, to take possession of her. His conduct while on board, we are officially informed, reflected much credit upon him. He left the Astrna in October, 1811, and accepted the rank of Retired Commander on the 22d of February, 183 S. For injuries sustained in the Ambus cade in 1806 Commander Royer was presented with a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund, and awarded on the 4th of November, 1809, a pension of 451. 12s. per an num. He was lately Harbourmaster at Port Louis, Mauritius." PLYMOUTH, Au G. 25. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Brisk, 14, Cowman• der Seymour, sailed yesterday afternoon for the West Indies, with Sir G. Barkly, the new Governor o: Jamaica. The Squirrel brig arrived yesterday from Pembroke, with Mr. Brown and a party of riggers, and was placed alongside the jetty to be dismantled. Orders have been received at this port for 30 caulkers and a foreman to proceed direct to Pembroke to assist in caulking the Ccesar, 90. By private letters from the Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, at New York, it appears that, in consequence of the desertion of 11 or 12 of her men, all the crew have been refused permission to visit the city. WOOLWICH, AUG. 25, APPOINTMENTS.

William Fran cis Cow per, M.P., Lords of the Admiralty ; Mr. Ber nal Osborne, M.P., First Secretary to the Admiralty ; Captain- Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Greene, Director of Architectural and Engineering Works, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard to-day at a few minutes before 11 o'cloett, and were received 13y Commodore Henry Eden, the tmperintendent ; Flag-Lieutenant Gore, of the Fisgard ; Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam depart. ment afloat ; Master P. C. D. Bean, of the Fisgard ; Master H. W. Allen, commander of the Lightning steam-vessel ; the Rev. J. C. Connolly, chaplain of the Fisgard ; Mr. John M‘Donald, master attendant ; Mr. Rice, master shipwright; Mr. Gottlieb, storekeeper; Mr. Mor g an, store receiver : D r. B rowning, surgeon ; Mr. Atherton, chief engineer ; Mr. Chatfield and Mr. Peake, assistants to the master shipwright ; Mr. Tric kett, assistant to the chief engineer ; and Mr. Bernays, clerk of works. Their lordships, on alighting from their carriages, proceeded to the Commodore-Superintendent's offices, and remained there upwards of three-quarters of aullimir inspecting documents and learning various de tails referring to the works, &c., in the dockyard. On leaving the Commodore's offices, at a quarter before 12 o'clock, their lordships proceeded to inspect the prepara tions for building the Edgar, a 91-gun screw steam-ship, the keel of which has been nearly all laid on the same slip whence her sister ship, the Agamemnon, 91, screw steam-ship was launched in 1852. They then looked at the Lightning, in the adjoining dock, and from the re port of her present state, it is probable the works on her will be suspended, and a new vessel built to take her place. The Rosamond, in the east dock, is being new coppered, preparatory to being made ready for commis sion. At the extreme east end of the yard they inspected some small buildings close to the dockyard wall, which from their construction do not appear to be worth re pairing,r and are, therefore, likely to be taken down for improvements. A considerable time was occupied in ond, inspecting the cordage and rigging -house, the rus. t and a piece of ground outside the present dockyarda- boun dary, but belonging to the Admiralty, although used for drawing up and repairing the Woolwich and Water " The national system of fire assurance, based upon the mutual principle, founded by this company five years since, has continued up to the present time to meet with unabated prosperity. This system, which gives the se curity of an assurance against damage by fire to the masses of the population of this country at cost price, fosters the provident habits of the people, by reducing to the lowest point the necessary outlay. The directors of this company have popularised this principle by the establishing of branch offices and agencies, and the dis semination of information by means of the press, through out the country ; believing that the principle of mutual fire assurance requires only to be known, and under stood generally, to be universally practised. They have also, during the past year, obtained the additional secu rity of a guarantee fund of 200,0001., which has been effected, without interfering with the mutual principle upon which the company is founded. It is believed that a very large proportion of the property in this country is uninsured, affording ample scope for the operations of this company ; and the directors have urged upon the agents and policy holders of the company earnestly to make known its features to persons not at present assured in a mutual office. With this view, also, nearly two hundred respectable persons have been appointed as additional agents during the past year. The business of the com pany has very considerably increased during the past year, and the losses have been, both in the year and from the commencement of the company, less than half the premiums received, and it is considered that if the vigorous measures in operation for the safe extension of the company's business be ably seconded by the policy holders, still more encouraging results will appear in the year ensuing. The directors reported last year that they had applied to Government to remove a very onerous tax imposed under the Joint Stock Act, whereby every mutual office had to pay a registration fee of ls. per policy holder, which, seeing that the company has issued above 9,000 policies, amounted to a considerable yearly sum. The directors are happy to state that, upon these representations, the above tax was removed, and the removal made to apply to all mutual offices, whether for • fire or for life assurance. And if the suggestions tl directors are about offering to Government in res p ec t t o the partial abolition of the fire insurance duty are equally successful, two great obstacles to the spread of fire in surance among the masses of the middle and working classes will have been removed. During the last year 2,016 new policies have been issued by the company, assuring property to the extent of 910,5611., and making the total assurances effected 8,782 for 3,664,6811. ster ling. The receipts of the past year have been 8,1242. 2s. 10d., being Premiums, 4,107/. 14s. Bd. ; duty, 4,0161. Bs. 2d. The total receipts from the com mencement of the company Premiums, 12,3651. 18s. 3d. ; duty, 12,462/. 2s. 2d. ; total, 24,8281. Os. sd. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the prospect which had attended the operations of the society, and all those con nected with the office had done everything to insure suc cess. He was glad in one respect that the starting of a mutual office was attended with difficulties ; but not withstanding the difficulties which they had to encounter, the company was now founded on a sound basis, and all they wanted was to get their friends to join them, that they might be participators of the benefit the office was calculated to confer on the public. He believed that the office was now in a fair way of coming up in pros perity equal to the old companies. Their policies had during their past transactions increased by 2,016 and in soundness of the amount to 3,664/. 6s. Bd.

FESTIVITIES AT WivroN-HousE.---The Right Hon. Sidney and the Hon. Mrs. Herbert have arrived at Wilton-house, from London, and on Saturday after noon the beautiful lawn in front of the mansion was the scene of a most gratfying spectacle, a liberal treat having been provided for the school children to the num ber of between 400 and 500. The party assembled at the National Schools at about three o'clock, and, as soon as the necessary arrangements were complete, formed a procession through the town into the park, preceded by the Wilton band, and accompanied by their teachers and friends. On arriving at the mansion they , were met bud welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Her bert ; tne band then played a portion of the National Anthem, after which to vincake and f the children took their plac es in regular order at th e tables arranged on the lawn , and their cieat, and h appy faces, together with the repast spread before them, rel. supply h u a happiness could e dered the scene truly exhilirating.

A large number of the elite of the n eighbourhood were present on the occasion. The whole of the park and adjacent grounds were kindly thrown open to the public. The flower-garden, too, was thronged with visitors, who seemed determined to give themselves up for a while to innocent pleasure and re creation. The tea being concluded, various sports and pastimes Were introduced and engaged in with much spirit by the juveniles. A number of the girls were soon engaged, in racing for bonnets and shawls, whilst the lads amused the company by jumping in sacks, &c., for various useful articles of wearing apparel. These amuse ments were followed by a country dance, in which both Mr. and Mrs. Herbert joined. Scoot d Edition, price Is., or free by post for IS stamps.
