(14310 4 Our anticipationswith respect to the course about to be adopted by the House of Lords on the Succes sion Duty Bill have been already fully and corn pleteli' verified. The measure passed through Committee without mutilation or alteration of any kind ; and it may now be considered as having received the Legislative sanction. It has indeed weathered the storm—the shoals and quicksands that obstructed its progress have been safely avoided, and the vessel, if it has not as yet cast anchor, has at least arrived within sight of its destined port. We heartily congratulate Parlia ment and the country on this auspicious result ; but more espeCially do we congratulate the Noble Lords, to whose temperate and judiciots, conduct it may be attributed. It would, indeed, have been productive of the most serious consequences if, through any hasty or ill-considered decision, there bad been:a collision with the other .House of Par- liament—and that on a question' on which the dissentients (whether justly or otherwise it is un necessary now to speculate) might be sup posed, to have been influenced by personal feelings and a selfish desire to escape their fair proportion of the public .burdens. We say whether jurAly or otherwise, because grave suqicion on such a pint would be almost as in jurious as the reality ; and, if under present cir cunistance:3, the Dill had been practically rejected, it would have been impossible to have yindiCated the motives by which a - large pr o p or ti on o f i ts I opponents had been actuated in their proceedings. The impending danger has, however, been averted. The formidable evil has been crushed in the bud, and that which has been described as " the cor ner-stone and foundation of the financial system of the year," has been triumphantly carried through the House in its integrity, without being in any degree impaired, or without even a single verbal alteration. There was, however, a veiy unequivocal trial of strength. A contest which, although "short," was also "sharp and decisive." No less than one hundred and seventy Peers attended in their places, while eighty-two more paired off, so that practicAly, two hundred and fifty-two lent their assistance in the struggle ; ' the majority on the side of Ministers being thirty-four. One diVi sion only was taken, but that was so con clusive, that, although sundry objections were made to other points, no - amendment was pressed, and all the clauses were eventually car ried through Committee. The proposition, on which the trial of strength took place would, if carried, have been fatal to one of the most important principles of the Bill, and, as a matter of course, to the entire measure. It would have exempted the existing settlements from the operation of the Act, and thus have deferred, for some 30 or 40 years, the equalisation of the burden which has been so urgently and so justly demanded. The Noble Lord undoubtedly Showed that the working of the law might, in certain cases, be attended with great hardship to individuals ; but similar hardships have been sus tained fo r a series of years under the Probate and Legacy Duties, and yet no effort was made to relieve the sufferers, or to.act equ it a bl y t owar d s the middle classes, whowere the aggrieved parties under the system heretofore i n o p era ti m i . Now, however, thatite comes home to them se l ves —that it touches their own pockets--it can be appreciated, and we trust that the appreci a ti on will speedily be felloweudsht Y an efficient remedy. .

Not only was one descp ion of property totally exonerated, but a loCiPhole was afforded through which parties desirous of defrauding the Exchequer might creep and evade the operation of the law at a comparatively trifling expense. Settled personalty was also exempted, and the in genuity of lawyers was taxed to the uttermost to drive "coaches and six" through the provisions of the statute. The success that attended these efforts may be judged from the simple fact that, notwithstanding the enormous increase of personal property, the Legacy Duties have not only not in creased in a similar ratio, but they have remained stationary during the enhanced prosperity of the nation. This proves beyond the possibility of doubt the serious extent of the evil, when so many persons could contrive to cheat the revenue and to avoid their fair con tributions to the national exigencies. Lord DERBY'S complaint is that those attempts will no longer be successful—that the evasion will no longer be practicable. Smugglers might as well remonstrate because their plans have been de tected, and the wines or brandies which they had so long provided duty free to their customers should at length be compelled to satisfy the claims of the Custom-house. Yes, there is a grievance connected with the bill, but it, is not that alluded to by the ex-Premier—it is that it only renders half justice, that it permits the Probate Duties still to be evaded, and does not, as it professes, equalise the burden on settled and unsettled property. It was with something like incredulity that we perused, some months back, the intelligence of China being involved in the toils of Revolution. It seemed preposterous. Generally speaking, we believe that the majority of persons in Europe would have experienced scarcely more amazement had they received information that San Marino had suddenly resolved itself into a despotism, or that Dann PACIJA had been summarily elected Vladika of Montenegro. Yet, inconceivable though the first rumour of the Chinese rebellion appeared, every fresh dispatch relating to it brought us only additional, and at last wholly in controvertible; facts of a confirmatory or corrobo rative character. There was no mistake at all about it : JOHN CrnNAarAN had indisputably, un conscionably, incontinently, gone mad—that is to say, of course, in a political acceptation. It must be remembered that the disturbance we are here speaking of is no mere eimeute of a fleeting or superficial kind,- a momentary outbreak es• la Chinoise. It proves on inquiry to be a gigantic rising of that ancient race against the Tartar dynasty, whose annals reveal an existence of scarcely two hundred years' duration. A rising, however, not in vindication of the old Ming dynasty, but—yvonderful to relate—in the glori ous name and under the shadow of the benignant principles of Christianity. Everybody can realise the idea of " everlasting smash," conveyed by the proverbial , phrase of A Bull in a China-shop ! But fancy the China man himself and all his dependents suddenly demented in the very heart of the region of crockery—"gane daft" in their own warehouse — crazed by the bite of a political tarantula ! Ima gine the consequent destruction—the din of the breakage—the "confusion worse confounded !" Why, compared with this, A Bull in a China-shop would be mere child's play, a butterfly in a bed of roses and hearts'-ease. Aud it has been pre cisely thus with our good friends the worshippers of the Trimarti and the disciples of Confucius. In 1841 we English gave the world a pretty good notion of a Bull in a China-shop. Since then, but particularly during this year of grace 1853, our some time foes of the Celestial Empire have afforded us a tolerably fair illustration of Chinamen gone distracted in their own warehouse. The result has been proportion ately disastrous. The whole of the southern half of the Empire has been already conquered by the insurgents. The standard of rebellion has flut tered in triumph before the walls both of Nankin and Chin-kiang-foo. Everywhere, as yet, the troops and generals of the EMPEROR have been defeated, and defeated, too, igno miniously. Nay, it may oven be said, with out exaggeration, that the advance line of the revolutionary army has drawn a no less distinct barrier between the upper and the lower moieties of China, than had been defined by nature through the channel of the Yang-tsze-lciang. Such, in deed, had been the progress made by the so-called rebels two or three months ago, that the Brother of the Sun, the Cousin of the Moon, and the .Nephew of the Stars and Comets, in other words, the reigning Sovereign of China, the Emperor TIEN-TIH, had humbled his celestial dignity, so far as to call loudly for the aid of the British bar. barians. At such an emergency it is surely both allow able and reasonable to reflect, for an instant, how far these passing occurrences might be turned to advantage by our Government. We are all suffi ciently acquainted with the exclusiveness of the Chinese as a nation—living within the limits of their own dominions, allowing no intercourse between their own and any foreign population, continuing for centuries secluded from the rest of the human fassily, and impervious to the beauti ful and beneficent influences of civilisation. It is notorious, in fact, that this insulation of them selves from the rest of mankind continued, until little more than a dozen years ago, to be secured by penalties of death against over-curious foreigners as with the Japanese, those congenial islanders of the Eastern Archipelago. Scarcely any appreciable improvement in this respect, moreover, has been effected by the long -vaunted treaty of Nankin—China having been virtually closed up from the scrutiny of other countries as effectually, to all intents and purposes, since the peace of 1842 as it had been prior to that result of war and diplomacy. It is true that no less than five different ports on its extended seaboard were rendered accessible to our commerce by that memorable arrangement ; but beyond that our guns and our statesmanship have alike proved in effiacious ; they have alike failed to obtain for us any facility towards penetrating the crust of prejudice in which the genius of the Chinese people is still imbedded. They continue still an enigma, a riddle, a mystery. It seems almost as hopeless even now to dream of making ourselves square with them among the nation alities within our own hemisphere, as to count upon the quadrature of the circle as within the limits of possibility. They remain at this moment influenced, in our regard with a barely definable repugnance. They are jealous of our interference almost beyond the reach of accurate delineation. They recoil before the horrible notion of a closer intimacy with Western barbarism—in a sublime ignorance (an ignorance that would be irresistibly ludicrous, were it not in some sort pathetic in like manner) of the marvellous fruits of this same savage Western cultivation of inductive philosophy—the steam-engine and the spinning jenny, the railroad and the electric telegraph. effeeti,l Precisely when, from th e remem b rance o f our past ten or el ev e n y ears ' exper i ence, we might not unreasonably feel disposed to d es p a i r o f ever m able4l Y breaking this life in d ea th, thi s s l eep wa king of the Chi nese — a nove l an d inesti °PPertunity for so doing is all at once pre sented to O ur assistance rule rs i n th e en t reat i es made for behalf of the Emperor TIEN-TIII, dis mayed as the yours paralysed before the-z monarch is, and almo s t Steady and apparen tl y irre sistible advan ce of the gigantic army of the Chinese Revolutionists.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1853 at the same moment that incalculable benefits might be secured simultaneously to the Chinese and to ourselves in the event of a right use being made of the power for good or evil now within the grasp of our Administration. Availing our selves of the confusion caused throughout the Celestial Empire by these internecine struggles between the upholders of the Tartar dynasty, and the revolutionary champions of a species of mongrel Buddhist-Christianity, England might discover means for opening up a new and enormous field to her own commercial enterprise, while awakening that hitherto dormant among the Chinese, bestowing upon the latter, in the very act of bringing about this mutual intercourse, the benign and incalculable blessings of modern civil isation. Cannot these priceless boons be secured by the adroit interposition of our statecraft ? It is a problem deserving the most extended and deli berate consideration. It would add a nobler con quest than that of Scinde or of A ffganbistan to the history of the golden days of Queen VICTORIA-- while, if effected with his connivance, or, still more, through the instrumentality of his active and personal co-operation, it would justify the Emperor TIEN-TIR in applying to his reign the title of Tae-ping, that of " universal peace" or of " subjugation"—giving the title, of course, a dif ferent meaning than that which was, no doubt, originally intended the " subjugation " of ancient prejudices and the " universal peace" of a conquered revolution.

The Lords'. amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—London and South-Western Railway (Basingstoke and Salisbury Branch) ; Newry and Enniskillen Railway; and Westminster Improve ments Bills. The Galway Harbour Bill was read a third time and passed. The special report of the Eastern Union Railway Bill was agreed to. RAILWAYS. Mr. JAS. MACGREGOR wished b know what course Government intended to take with regard to the rail way regulations which were printed and circulated yes terday among members. Mr. CARDWELL said these reskitions were of the utmost importance, and the recommendations which they contained were now under the consideration of the Go vernment. Some of them would hive to be carried out by standing orders, while others would have to be made the subject of a bill. The former vould, of course, be re ferred to the committee now revising the standing Orden ; but with regard to the latter, circumstances over which he could have no control raiett prevent his intro ducing such a bill this session. The subject, however, was still under consideration, and if there was time a bill would be brought in this session. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. The committee on this bill was,then resumed. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE moved the insertion of the following clause :—" And whereas it is expedient that a tribunal should b e cons tit u t e d to d ec id e upon an d ta k e cognizance of any disputes that may arise between the government of British India and any native Prince not a British subject; and to interpret any treaty of which the meaning may be disputed between any native Prince and the British government, be it enacted, that the Queen's judges at each presidency shall henceforth be respectively a competent court to decide any question in dispute between the government of British India and any native Prince not a subject of the British Crown, who shall appeal to such tribunal, and that an appeal from the decision of such tribunal shall lie to the Court of Privy Council in this country, and that such decision of the Court of Privy Council shall be final. That every person having a vote for the election of a member of parliament in this country, who shall have resided five years in India, shall have a vote in the election of such directors of the East India Company as are not nomi nated by the Crown." [LEFT BITTING.] COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON. (THIS DAY.) The thirteenth annual meeting of the proprietors of this bank was held this afternoon on the premises in Lothbury, Thomas Barnewell, Esq. in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting as follows :-- The directors have great pleasure in meeting you this day in the newly-enlarged premises. They are sorry the room is not yet in a better condition to be seen, but at the same time' they are extremely [happy that the first use made of it should be to welcome you to come and listen to a statement of your affairs, which, I think, will be as gratifying to you as it is to them. If, gentlemen, on former occasions, when I had the honour of addressing you from this chair, I expressed any hopes, or indulged in any anticipations as to the then prospects of the bank, I may now truly say that they have been fully, if not more than fully, realised, for in every branch of our establishment there has been a great and most important improvement. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In order to carry out those more enlarged operations in which we have lately been and are likely for the future to be engaged, your directors thought it advisable to in crease the capital of the bank, and they have done so by issuing 5,000 new shares at a premium of Si. per share. That premium has been realised, and your reserve fund, with some other additions which have been made to it, will now amount to 61,0001. instead of 28,0001. as it was last year. (Hear, hear.) As to the shares themselves you will see by the statement that a sum of 13,4551. has been received in anticipation of the engagement upon them. Since that, however, a further sum of 47,0001. and some hundreds have been received also in anticipa tion of a great portion of these shares, and when the whole is fully paid up on the Ist of October, next year, capital will amount to 300,0001. instead of 200,0001. which it was last year. (Hear, hear.) In addition to that, gentlemen, your directors have ab solutely closed an item which has hitherto occupied a place in the accounts—that of 3,6001. standing against the bank premises and tbe furniture. They have now written that off, and placed it as an asset upon the bank. (Hear, hear.) Besides these cheering facts, the direc tors have had the pleasure, in which I am sure you will warmly participate--for it is indeed a pleasure, and comes as it were as a kind of solace after the toils of business—to reward good ser vices and good conduct ; and they have done so by giving to each clerk in the establishment a gratuity of 10 per cent. on his salary. (Cheers.) I think, when you have heard the annual statement, you will concur with me that it comprises facts which will be of the greatest gratification to every person who is at all interested in the bank. I have no doubt it will be peculiarly satisfactory to those who knew the bank in its infancy, and have watched its progress, for they will see that it now occupies a posi tion, comparatively speaking, equal to that of any other establishment in the empire. (Hear, hear.) While, however, I say this, I must likewise express the pleasure which the directors feel at witnessing the prosperity of the other establishments of the same nature which exist in the metropolis ; for, linked as we are in the same pursuits the success of one is the success of all. (Cheers.) When we consider that the joint-stock banks of London hold 20,000,000/. of the public money, I trust it is no vain hope to expect that any little prejudice which may exist in any quarter will vanish under the favourable circumstances in which we all now are, and that every bank, whether private or joint-stock, in this great and should•be liberal City of London will henceforth be actuated by that kindness and good feel ing which all admit will be most conducive to mutual confidence and public utility. (Cheers.) The chairman concluded by calling upon the secretary, Mr. Cutbill, to read the report, which was as follows : " The directors are happy to meet the proprietors at the close of another prosperous year. The balance sheet shows that, after paying all expenses and making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits for the past year amount to 30,654/. 12s. 10d. ; out of these profits a dividend at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum for the half year ending 31st December, 1852, has been already paid, and the directors have now to declare a dividend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1853, at the same rate, and a bonus of 16s per share—both dividend and bonus free from income tax. The 5,000 new shares issued in May, at 5/, premium, were taken by the proprietors, and the 25,0001. received for premium added to the reserve fund. This fund will now amount to 61,0291. 6s. 4d. The directors have taken advantage of the present favourable year to write off entirely the 3,6001. standing against the leasehold premises and furniture. In a very few weeks, the enlarge ment of the banking premises, so much needed, will b e completed. In compliance with the provisions of the deed of settlement, the following directors, viz., John Alfred Chowne, Esq., James Alexander ouglas, Esq., John Savage, Esq., Joseph Thompson, Esq., retire from office, and being eligible, offer themselves as candidates for re election."

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY EVENING The Mauritius, General Steam-ship Company's vessel, Capt. D. J. Elder, arrived here this afternoon, from In dia and the Cape of Good Hope. She left Calcutta April 20 ; Mauritius, May 19 ; the Cape, June 11 ; called at Ascension, and on the 9th of July at St. Vincent. She has had a long and tiresome voyage home, her machinery having frequently got out of repair, and the prevailing wind having been unfavourable. She has a full general cargo, 110 passengers, and a heavy mail. The latter was landed here about two o'clock to-day. The intelligence from India by this arrival has been anticipated. From Mauritius we learn that the price of sugar had risen from 15 to 30 cents. after the arrival of the Lady Jocelyn from Plymouth and the Cape on the 9th of May. Since the beginning of May the supply of rice had been better, and the prices had declined to three dollars for Baalam, and for Mooghy freight had declined. A vessel had just chartered for Cork for orders, at 3/. 2s. 6d. From the Cape the news is satisfactory. The rebel lion is entirely extinguished, and ample precautions are taken to preserve peace. The districts of Somerset, Victoria, and Albany, have suffered most from the war ; but, in the districts behind, the year which has elapsed seems to have been one of great prosperity. In wool, their chief exportable produce, there has been an increase to the value of 300,0001. It is thought by some in the colony that the quietness of the Kafir chiefs is attributable to sulkiness, and that their movements ought to be closely watched. The Orange River co lony is tranquil. In Natal things remain stationary. The local government continued in difficulties. The secretary, Mr. D. Moodie, has been removed from office, and the recorder or chief judge, Mr. H. Cleote, sus pended. Mr. Cleote has come over in the Mauritius to lay his case before the home Government. In Cape Colony the great feature of the month has been re joicing and giving thanks for the constitution, the pro visions of which appear to be satisfactory to the majo rity of the inhabitants. Her Majesty's ship Grecian, Commander the Hon. G. Kean, arrived in Simon's Bay, June 8, from Julli mane, which she left M a y 14 ; th e Meander, Com mander Talbot, and Dee, Lieutenant G. Smith, were also in Simon's Bay, June 10. The Osmanli steamer, from Liverpool, arrived at the Cape, May 28, and left for Australia June 5. The ship Sir H. Hardinge, ar rived at the Cape from Plymouth, May 24, and sailed from Melbourne, Australia, May 27. The Mauritius left this afternoon for Southampton. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PEMBROKE, JULY 25. ATTEMPTED LAUNCH OF THE C/ESAR. In The Sun of yesterday we noticed the total failure successfully to launch the new screw ship of the line the Caesar, at Pembroke Dockyard, and we now regret to state, that every effort since made on the part of the authorities and subordinates of the establishment to bring her into deep water has been totally unavailing. About half-past seven on Friday evening the Rhada manthus, J. Belam master-commander, and Prospero steam-tender, were attached by strong and heavy haw sers to the Cmsar, and additional aid was procured from the Pique, just repaired ; the whole strength of the arsenal and establishment was also brought to bear, and every effort made to force the unlucky vessel down the ways, but without the slightest success. On Saturday morning the same efforts were again repeated, and still without moving the ship. Not the full force of the steamers tugging and hauling, nor the well-applied strength of all the hands engaged could effect the move ment required, and the CEesar still remains upon her ways. We fear that there is no doubt she has sustained con siderable damage, and such as, without great expense and heavy repairs, will preclude her being classed as an efficient vessel. Some go so far as to say that she is " hogged" and her back broken ; but it is quite clear that she has settled down by the stern into some very soft and yielding material, and thus has received a very severe twisting and straining. The full extent of the injuries sustain e d cannot b e rightly ascertaine d until she has been released from her present position and taken into dock. The probable cause of this untoward and unfortunate mishap is generally considered to be that the ground underneath the framework of the ways is unsound at the spot where the vessel stopped in her progress. The ground is composed of limestone, and it is often the case that where this formation adjoins the next—which, in this spot is the old red sa ndstone —large fissures occur in it, and that these are so covered with limestone as to deceive the most discerning. This is stated to have been the case with the large martello tower erected at the east end of the dockyard, where, in consequence th o e f these fissures, no foundation c o uld be obtained, and engineers were obliged to throw strong and massive arches over the fissures from rock to rock in order to secure something like a firm foundation. Should this prove to be the case, no blame can be at tached to the master shipwright, whose anxiety at this unfortunate mischance can well be imagined. Mr. Lan, has not long filled his present position, having succeeded Mr. Rice, and this was the second vessel launched under his charge, the first being the Rover, 16-gun brig. Mr. Lang was the clever designer of the Banshee, the fastest vessel in the navy. THE COURT-MARTIAL AT DEVONPORT. —The court martial on Mr. Stent, second master of the Antelope, re-assembled yesterday on board the Impregnable, when, after hearing a most ingenious defence on the part of Mr. Stent, drawn up by Mr. Beer, the most able soli citor of the district, the court found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to one year's imprisonment, and afterwards to be dismissed her Majesty's service. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday, were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,500 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame but firm. The sales comprised 7,500 American, 800 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to Bd. ; 80 Bahia, at bid . ; 400 Egyptian, at 60. to 10d. ; 1,000 S ura t, at 3id. to sid., and 20 Sea Island, at is. 9d. to 2s. Railway Shares were firm at rather higher prices. There is an expectation among parties connected with the foreign fruit trade, according to a statement before us from Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, that currants will further advance owing to the unfavourable pros pects of the „next 'crops. In Turkey and Spain the raisins have suffered., The market for public securities has been dull, and rather flatter, the speculators as well as the public being anxious to await the receipt of the answer from St. Petersburg, concerning the proposals made by the western powers. Consols have been 98Z J for Transfer and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 1011 I, and the Three per Cents. 991 I. Bank Stock has been marked 228 to 229. East India Stock is quiet, at 2571. Exchequer Bills are at par to 28: premium ; and India Bonds at 245. to 28s. premium. _ _ _ 10 25 10 St. 20 5 St. St. St. St. St. 13i 20 20 50 1 1 31 2 I 27, . 1 St. 0 St. . .:, . 50 . 3 50 20 1 I 20 2 St. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 25. Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales attended divine service yesterday morning, which was performed by the Hon. and Rev. G. Wellesley. The ladies and gentle men in waiting were also present. The Prince; Royal and Princess Alice are expected to arrive at Osborne to-day, from Buckingham Palace. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice, attended by Mr. R. Ormsby Gore, Groom-in-Waiting to the Queen, left Buckingham Palace at half-past ten o'clock, yester day morning, for Osborne, Isle of Wight. Their royal highnesses travelled by the South Western Railway. Previous to their departure the' Duchess of Sent visited the Princesses at the palaCe. _ _ - The Duchess of Kent visited the Duchess of Cam bridge yesterday, at her residence, in St. James's Palace. The Countess de Neuilly visited the Duchess of Kent yesterday, at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's. The Duchess of Gloucester visited the Duchess of Kent yesterday, at Clarence House. The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Baroness de Speth, and Sir George Couper, honoured the performance of German Plays with her presence last evening. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone arrived in town yesterday from Windsor. Despatches were received at the Colonial office yester day, from the Governor of Gibraltar. BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. At the half-yearly meeting of the Brighton Railway Company yesterday, Mr. Laing made a very important communication, which must be considered semi-official, as to the probable nature of the report to be issued by the committee of the House of Commons upon railways. It appears that they are likely to recommend a general railway committee, to be formed from among the lead ing members of the House of Commons, and this would compose something like Lord Dalhousie's board for the purpose of making Parliamentary reports, and laying down general principles, whether lines should be made upon the broad or narrow gauge, and whether competi tion should be permitted in certain districts. This would be when new bills were brought in. The report is ex pected to assert pretty strongly the expediency of giving facilities for one line to run its traffic over another where branches are concerned, subject to conditions which would fairly protect the interests of the existing and older company. A reference would probably have to be made in such cases to the Board of Trade or the Court of Chancery to settle the details of the arrangements. Railways will be recommended to make working agree ments for a lengthened term since amalgamations are opposed, and the companies, in such cases, would divide the traffic at certain points between them, under the sanction of the Board of Trade. The act, based upon the committee's report, is not likely to be passed this session. Mr. Laing made another announcement of great importance to the railway world. He stated that it would not be in his power to keep the Brighton line in repair, and execute the new works required to meet the increased traffic and competition, without an allow ance of at least 50,000/. per annum, unless the capital account was re-opened, and he furth er intimated his be lief that the reserve fund must be given up. In accord ance with this altered view, the meeting voted a sum at once from the latter fund, with power to borrow to the full extent allowed by their act, and to appropriate the remainder of the reserve to such purposes as the direc tors might think advisable.—Monting Advertiser. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE MOSS SAMUEL, This bankrupt had carried on an extensive business as a watch manufacturer in Houndaditch, and this was a meeting preliminary to the declaration of a dividend. The accounts prepared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, extending over a considerable period, show a result of debts duet creditors, 4,1051., and the assets are esti mated at 1,200/. The amount of the dividend will be officially declared in a few days. The list was very light, and the two remaining cases were appointed for the after part of the day. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—JuIy 25. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM OSBORNE. —Her Ma jesty, it is understood, leaves Osborne on Monday or Tuesday next, proceeding by rail to Holyhead, thence to Dublin. THE REVIEW OF THE FLEET. —As at present arranged, the Queen is to review the Channel fleet on Monday, the 15th August. Her Majesty is so perfectly restored to health, that Sir James Clark left Osborne for town this day. Prince Albert and a party of noblemen rode through West Cowes on horseback this afternoon. Wind—West, and very fine. Bar., 29.53. THE QUEEN'S HEALTH.—We are gratified in stating that our beloved Queen breakfasted out of the sick chamber for the first time yesterday morning, and that Sir James Clark has left Osborne House for London. THE LATE ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE AND MURDER AT BARNET.—Yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, the two men in custody, Patrick Farley and Michael Cunning ham, were again brought before the magistrates at Barnet, for further examination, and Robert Magennis, another Irishman, since apprehended, was also brought up on suspicion of being concerned in the same diaboli cal outrage and murder, and after a long consultation were again remanded by the magistrates to St. Alban's Gaol. GOLD.—The advices from Paris mention the continu ous arrival.of large quantities of gold, and that the Mint has, in consequence, extended the period required for the process of coinage to 46 days. As the amount that can be coined each day is understood to be about 40,0001., it is to be inferred that the total at present in hand is probably not much below 2,000,0001. THE OVERLAND MAIL.—The next overland mail, which will be due on the 31st instant, and telegraphic notice of which from Trieste may be daily expected, will bring the first Australian mail by the north-eastern route. The Australian dates should be Sydney, May 20 ; Port Philip, 23 ; and Adelaide 26. This mail is expected to bring replies to correspondence dispatched from London on the Bth of March last, thus makinc , the course of post between London and Sydney 145 days. AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.— The weekly reports from these markets describe a more active business, and, in some cases, an advance in quo tations. In coffee the transactions had been limited, but a better demand existed for sugar, refined descrip tions having sold at higher prices. For indigo, in con sequence of the result of the sales on this side, there was a further inquiry at improved rates. Rice and dried fruits continue to be well supported, holders exhibiting little disposition to press sales. The accounts from Hamburg and Antwerp represent a similar position of trade. AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY.— At the meeting of this company yesterday, the report stated that there were about 80 tons of copper prepared, but the want of labour prevented the progress of the works. It was expected that the application to the colonial governMent for a charter would be attended with success. Of the 14,000?. debentures, 1,300?. had been paid off. The report was adopted. ST. LEONARD'S SHOREDTTCH. - The Poor-law Commis. sioners have directed that the election of a vestry-clerk for the parish shall be proceeded with. A meeting o f ratepayers was held on Friday evening, at the Bridport Arms, Roston, when a large number of influential gen tlemen connected with the parish attended to maintain the candidature of Mr. John Humfrey, whose chances of success in the approaching contest were spoken of in a very sanguine manner. ENGLISH AND AUSTRALIAN COPPER COMPANY.—The second annual general meeting of the English and Aus tralian Copper Company was held yesterday, when the report of the Directors was read, received, and adopted. The disorganisation produced by the abstraction of labour from its legitimate occupations throughout Australia, by the superior attractions of the gold dig cwohniterialc4t, gings, has most seriously embarrassed the operations of this company, and affected its interest in every direction and shape. ' It appears that although the smelters had of business returned to their duties, there was a general and great deficiency of other descriptions of labour, and in con sequence there was little or nothing doing, whilst the w2oitohhatvhee arrived. Burra Company naturally re mained in suspension for the present. The company had, however, been enabled to transact a large amount in Australia, having purchased and shipped the colony, on the 2 to England since the ment of accounts shows a last ore, of report Tiler e 7, 280 remainedton s o n of hand in , April last, 5,988 tons.
