FATAL ACCIDENT TO ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. DOVER, August 9. When the Artillery Volunteer Corps .were engaged in the gun practice at Archcliff Fort one of the guns burst, scattering its fragments in all directions. Mr. G. T. Thompson, solicitor, one of the lieutenants, and a sergeant were killed on the spot, and several other members of the corps are seriously injured. NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The commander of the Fox has written a letter from the Farao Islands on the operations of the expedition at that point. He designates the strong currents, of which so much has been said, as " bugbears." Altogether the letter gives reason to hope for a faVourable result to the survey. The screw-steam coastguard ship Majestic arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday even ing, and after completing her stores will then proceed to Liverpool. The Emperor has ordered that foreigners corning to Paris to witness the festivals on the 15th of August (the Emperor's fete day), shall not be required to show passports. The Council of State is discussing at Naples the programme of. Litorio Romano. The Queen Mother is to leave instantly, that is, if the pro gramme is accepted. A meeting took place yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. Smith, Patient, and Smith; tanners, of Bermondsey,-- at which it was determined to leave the question as to whether the winding-up shall take place in the Bankruptcy Court or under inspection in the hands of the principal creditors. Letters from Palermo, dated the 2nd August, report that a party had been attempting to create troubles. Hitherto the Government had acted with a certain generosity, but it has now arrested a great number of all classes, and sent them off with passports to any country out of Italy. The Superior Council of Commerce of France which has already held forty-one sittings, will not •have 'Concluded its labours before another month. After the report on the cotton trade is Concluded the Council will commence the con sideration of the silk trade. . The Daily News, speaking of affairs in Italy, remarks, if Garibaldi carries his victorious army to the mainland of the Neapolitan States, the muttered curses of diplomatists will pursue him like a blight. By his chivalrous reply to Victor Emmanuel, he disengages the responsibility of his chosen king, and liberates Count Cavour from the pressure of warnings and remonstrances. If he goes to Naples, it is not until the anarchy of good intentions, struggling against the sullen perfidy . and inert resistence of a doomed court, demands the interposition of the strong and faithful hand that has set •Sicily free. The Nea- Pohtans are paralysed and helpless ; the Queen another at Gaeta, organises a bloody reaction under Austrian auspices ; the demented young King prays to all his saints for succour, and trusts to his foreign mercenaries for final ven geance ; one-half of the army is panting for pillage and massacre, and the other half eager to make common cause with the army of Italy. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY. Lord ORANVILLE, in making a statement as to the state of public business, stated that the intentions of the Government to proceed with the Tenure of Land (Ireland) Bill. The Poor Law Relief (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, some clauses being omitted on the motion of Lord Redesdale, and after a division. ng ice cet The Militia Ballot Bill was read a third time and passed. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the second reading of the European Forces (India) Bill. After stating the reason for con sidering the bill one of urgency, he observed that it had passed the other house by au overwhelming majority_ The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH protested against the measures, 'which he regarded as unnecessary and calamitous. It was inspired by the jealousies which had lately arisen between the local Indian foroes and the Queen's troops. These jealousies did not exist in his time. So far from producing an amalga mation of the Indian army, its effect would be to give a wider extension to the native lines, and establish a sharper distinc tion between the Sepoy and the European members of the military system in India. Lords DE GREY and RIPON defended the bill. The .Duke of CAMBR.IDGE contended that the measure was but a fit, and indeed inevitable complement to the changes that hid been lately effected in the Indian administrative system. The maintainierice of the old distinction between the local and The British European regiments were now impossible, and the b oor had come when amalgamation could no longer be post poned. He proceeded to examine the measure in detail, controverting many of the objections urged by Lord lEllenborough and ..other opponents respecting promotion, '?•ff appointments and other pain: s of patronage and discipline . The Earl of DEttsr, without intending to vote against the measure, expressed much anxiety and apprehension as to its effect. These doubts were, he observed, much enhanced by the vagueness of the information offered by the Government touching the nature of the new arrangements which they 'Purposed to base upon the present bill. Lord CLYDE, who addressed the Peers for the first time, %Poke in support of the bill. From personal observations, he knew that discipline was dangerously loose in the local corps, had he considered the establishment of an united army highly advisable. Earl GRANVILLE having added coma remarks in defending 'the proposed change in the Indian e.rwy, the bill: was read a second time. Replying to a question from the Earl of Ellenborough, The Dille of SOMERSET stated that the cost incurred for the 'transport of troops to China amounted to £164,000 per month,. Some bilis on the table were advanced a stage, and their lord `'lliPs adjourned at twelve o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS Y _ ESTERDAY. The Speaker look the chair at twelve o'clock, but there was not a sufficient number of members in attendance to form a house till nearly half-past twelve. Mr. LAING moved that a sum, not exceeding £1,000,000 sterling, be expended to pay off and discharge Exchequer bonds. A short conversation ensued, which resulted in the post ponement of the motion. The House then went into Committee of Supply; and the discussion on votes four, live, six, ard seven of the Civil Service Estimates occupied the remainder of the sitting. In the evening sitting, Mr. linrour called attention to the present state of the excise duty upon paper, and to the effect which the recent action of the House of Lords bad produced on the rights and Privileges of the House of Commons. lie urged Lord Fermoy ~‘.‘" to press the matter of which he had given notice for the rep e al of the paper duty, feeling that the success of the motion was, at :he present moment, impossible. On the general question he ol,l erv ed that the re sult of subject to of the House of Lords was to leave the papermakers bject b to the grievance of the excise, at the same time that they not d only on ha een deprthived sole ' of all protection, and this ha d been done e opposition to the opinion of the authority of the Lords, bu t in o P P • • oard of Inland Revenue, an d the repeated decision of the Rouse of Commons. They mi g ht have restored the authority f Lord of that House, even during the present session. P almerston had had the spint of the great statesmen of en f od Cher times, he might have called upon She House to susp nownows tanding orders, and have i ntro d uced a second bill. Even a clause might be introdu ced into the appropyiationbill, or a bill be passed suspending the collection of the excise upon Paper until April next, or they might adjourn until the ti ue When the six months postponement of the bill by the Lords had expi re d. As the case stood, he felt that they had not done their duty towards the nation. He believed that if the noble lord had appealed to the country on the subject of the paper duty, he would have bad an unprecedented majority in favour of the privileges of the 11,OUSD of Commons. They were bound by all the ties of duty to the present and traditions of the past, if they asserted the rights bequeathed to them by their fore fathers, and felt sure that if the ministers had taken more active steps to maintain the House in the position it occupied at the beginning of the session, he would have bad the unani mous support of iris own party and the support of many of those commonly opposed to him. Lord PALMERSTON had hoped that they heard the last of t his question during the present session. If the hon. member felt BO strongly, why did he not act when the House W as (full and the affair recent. For himself, he felt that he had done his duty in taking such steps as the circumstances permitted. If there was one thing less dignified than another, either to an assembly or an individual, it was to utter feeling lamentations and useless complaints when action was impossible. He felt assured that the course pursued by the Government had the sanction of the country, as it had already that of the House of Commons, and he.denied that the country would support an appeal made to them on such an occasion. As for the suggestions of Mr. Bright, not one of them could be practically entertained for a moment. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, with reference to the interference of the great Powers in Syria, it is the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to limit the aid rendered by England to the appearance _ - - at a naval squadron off the coast ; and whether or not, in the event of the horrible massacres being continued, and the troubles in Syria extending to fresh places, it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to send aid in troops, or to permit France to obtain all the houo.ur and credit which must result from an active military support of the Christians against the terrible proceedings of the Mahomedam. Lord Jour; RUSSELL said that the steps which had been tak, were simply to authorise the slarines to land for the purpose 4) f Preventing further massacres. He had just heard from the Turkish Embassy that Fuad Pasha had a rrested 400 of those s upposed to be guilty during the late massacres ; that many of them had been executed ; that the troops of Damascus had • n"vil great loyalty, and the authorities afforded every assist ance towards restoring order. He had reason to believe that co nsequence of the energetic cond uct of Fuad Pasha the ' St urbances would, before long, be at an e nd. Lord Fsmxor, after a few remarks, declared his intention of ' l thdrawing th e mo ti on o f w hi c h h e had given notice. Mr. CoNiNaliA.M protested against the pr esent man agement of the National Gallery, and the intrigues at work in reference to the Management of our collections and museum s . M. r ang Scutr..-sr called attention to the conduct of Irish business. asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Rev, Mr. Fox had been reinstated as chaplain of the South Dublin Union, and whether it was intended to infuse a due proportion of. Irish and of Catholic elements into the constitution of the Irish Poor-law Board. Mr. HENNESSY called attention to a letter alleged to have been written by the Emperor of the French to the editor of the Tipperary Examiner, and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Aff sirs whether he had t aken any steps to ascertain its authenticity. Mr. CARDWELL replied, OR behalf of Lord J. Russell, that he wa , not in the habit of reading the Tipperary Examiner. Mt. WHITFSIDF observed that the present local Irish Government was forfeiting its dignity and losing its political influence by attempting to govern Ireland by throwing a few places to persons who did not deserve them. He contrasted his conduct with the course pursued by the late Administra tion, whose distribution of patronage was guided entirely by merit, irrespective of religious or party favouritism. Mr. DEASY indignantly repudiated the charge, and chal lenged comparison between the appointments made by the late and present Viceroys of Ireland. The motion for adjournment till Monday was then agreed to. CAUSE LIST FOR THE ASSIZES. The following is the Cause List for the Lancashire Summer Assizes for the southern division of the county, opened at Liveitpool, on Wednesday, the Bth day of August, 1860, before the Hon.

Last night a fashionable and crowded audience was present on the occasion of Sir Win. and Lady Don's benefit; and the several pieces went off with unusual eclat. To-night Sir Win. r epeats his great impersonation of Long Tom Coffin, in "Th e Pilot ; " and The Qeen, in "Kenilworth." Lady Don also appears as Fanny Gibbles, in "An Objec t of Interest ; the Earl of Leicester, in the Burlesque. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. The prevalence of rather moist weather, if it has operated adversely upon the attendance at this place of amusement, has had a favourable effect upon the grounds, which are now luxuriantly adorned by vegetation in its loveliest forms. A talented Vaudeville company are performing in the theatre with great success. Last night the new burlesque extravaganza of the " Babes in the Wood" was cleverly put before the audience, and its frequent repetition will doubtless be demanded,especally is by the juvenile portion of the community, whom i t well calculated to interest a nd instruct. On Monday next, in consequence of the suc cess of his last attempt, Mr. Coxwell will make his second balloon ascent. One of the most interesting features at present to be seen in the gardens is that of the splendid lioness and her twa fine cubs, oven days old. Visito rs are allowed to handle them; and no t a few ma y feel interested in being able to say that they have carried a real live lion in their arms . The immense platform for dancing, and the effective band of musicians, afford au excellent oppore tunity for indulging in an open-air dance. Altogethr this popular resort continues to maintain its character. BANIRLPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner ?EXLEY.) IN RE JoHN POOLEY.—This bankrupt, who carried on business as a contractor and builder at Peterborugh, Doncaster, Liverpool, and othe r places, ca me up yester day on application for his certi ficate. Mr. Hull opposed on behalf of Messrs. Crowe and Williams, of Birkenhead, on the ground that the bankrupt had contracted debts with his ,clients within three months of the bank ruptcy, when he Imew he was hopelessly insolvent, and had no means to pay thew; also, that hp had given a fraudulent preference to some of his creditors. Mr. Martin, who appeared for the assignees, also opposed, and examined th e bankrupt, showing that when he commencedlo business in 1858 he had only a ca p ital of i that inch he more than lost by his first c ontract; and he continued to enter into contracts up to December last, although upon those engaged in up to that time his losses amounted to £4,000, whilst his proas were only £4OO. Mr. Martin then contended that a bankrupt who had shown such a want of fore sightcontracts which in almost every cas iil e badentreersiunlgtedvpi: a loss should not he allowed again to ca h r business, and called upon the court to refuse certificate. He also urge d as a ground of objection that the bankrupt had cons p ired to t r e yon de fraud some person for whom he had been doing work. Mr. Evans, for the bankrupt, said that Mr. Martin had only dealt is generalities and had brought no specific c..harge against his client. With regard to the want of judgment in entering on contracts upon which there had been a loss, that Tirt.l3B9 criße, but an error of judgment that the first contractors in the comury some times fell into ; and, as to the other objection of being a party to a conspiracy to defraud an employer, he was not the principal in the matter, but rather the dupe of another. The bad booking he could not altogether jus tify, although his client's excuse was that he had several eer at places of business, and could not big° a bo ok -k each; and in conclusion he conten ded that his Clientwas entitled to a certificate. His Honour said he would deliver judgment on Monday. RE JOHN' HuotEs.-7.-This bankrupt, w h o was a pub lican in Waterloo-road, applied for a certificate. Mr. Pemberton appeared for the bankrupt, and asked for one of the first class. Mr. Hill, for the assignee, did not oppose. 4is Honour said, in the absence of books, he could only give a c,econd-class certificate. en On Wednesday last, being the anniversary of the birth of the Empress of Russia, the ships at Plymouth wer e ; dressed and a royal salute fired in compliment to that , nation, which is at present represented at that port by the Russian frigate Reindeer. A CNNARIAN.-7,-There is at present residing at prize's E Fi T e E lds, in Limerick, a pan named Donovan, styled "The Colonel," who is in the 104th year of his age, in good health, tolerably active, and likely to live many more years he had good nourishment. This incarcerated for taxes, but liberated by the Corporation Whea 4e fact was made p oo r man was recently , known. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. The express train from London, due here last evening at 10.30, was delayed an hour at Hatton Wharf OR account of some waggons having got upon the line, thereby causing the train to go round by Stoke. AMERICAN MAILS.—The British and North Ameri can royal mail steamship Arabia, sails from Liverpool for Halifax and Boston this day (Saturday). The letter box for this despatch closes at the General Post-office at 12 o'clock noon. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—On Thursday evening a man named James M'Carthy, forty years of age, who was engaged in the warehouse of Messrs. Wakefield & Nash, was killed in Fenwick-street, at the top of Moore-street. It appears that the deceased was at the place stated, with a hand-cart, and that a dray belonging to Mr. Lane, brewer, came up, and by some means ran over him, and he was so much injured that he died soon after. Au inquest will be held on the body this day. THIRD MANCHESTER VOLUNTEERS. —This regiment has accepted the invitation of the Earl of Derby to attend the proposed review at Knowsley on the Ist of September. On the 18th instant, the regiment will make a pleasure excursion to Grimsby, availing itself of the kind offer of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company to convey all the mem bers there gratuitously. Should the weather permit, the company will also place one or two steamers at the disposal of the regiment for a trip out to sea. BODY FOUND IN THE CANAL. --Yesterday the body of a female, named Jane Lydiate, twenty-five years of age, who lived iu 3 Court, Leeds-street, and who earned her livelihood by going out washing, was found in the canal, near Leeds.street Bridge. The last time she was seen alive, was ou Monday evening, at half-past seven, when she left a house in Highfield-street, where she had been washing during the day. There were no marks of violence on the body. An inquest will be held this day. DEATH OF THE REV. JOHN HUGHES.—The Rev. John Hughes, Calvinistic Methodist minister, died at Abergele on Tuesday evening last. Deceased was born at Adwy Clwydd, near Wrexham, at the close of the last century. At the early age of sixteen he entered on his ministerial labour, which he has continued for forty-eight years, being at his death in his sixty-fourth year. He was one of the brightest ornaments of the Calvinistic body. CAPTAIN CLAY'S BREECH-LOADING GUN.—One of these newly-invented breech-loading guns was tested on Thursday last, at Crosby Sands. The weight of the gun is upwards of 22 cwt., with a six-inch bore. The testing was under the superintendence of three Russian officers. Three rounds were fired; the charge consisted of 12 lbs. of powder and a solid shot of 300 lbs. weight. The most sanguine hopes of the inventor and the scientific gentle men who were present were fully realised. FRENCH STEAM FRIGATE "LE BRANDA.”-011 Thursday morning, the French steam frigate, Le Branda arrived in the Mersey from Toulon. In passing the Rock fort, the Le Branda saluted and dipped her flag, a compliment which was returned lty thole OR duty at the fort. She carries six guns and her crew consists of about 100 men. The object of her visit is to take on board a. submarine telegraphic cable, which has been manufactured at the works of ges3rs. Newall and Co., at Birkenhead, together with the machinery necessary for submerging it. The cable will be laid down on the African coast. The Branda will remain in the river about three weeks. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—As the Liverpool mail train, due at the Euston-square Station at eleven a.m., was emerging from the Kilburn Tunnel', on Thursday last, a pointsman named William gd g ell incautiously attempted to cross over the line, and was propelled by the buffer of the engine to a considerable distance, falling with great violence on the metals, but providentially free from the wheels of the passing train. Ile was conveyed to the University College Hospital, where it was ascertained that in addition to severe contusions which he had re ceived, the spine was seriously injured. ROYAL COLOSSEUM THEATRE.—By a rapid succession of novelties, added to the attractions of the stock com pany, the enterprising proprietor of this favourite theatre has been enabled to fill his house with large and respectable audiences. During the week a uUmber of first class pieces have been produced in a very creditable manner, and the acting is always above mediocrity. The leading lady and gentleman, Miss M. Smith and Mr. Loydall, have recentl y taken their be nefits , an d their popularitywas well attested upon each occa s ion. Mr. W. Townley, the very pleasing Lancashire ballad singer, continues to draw down enthusiastic encores, and divides the honours with Herr Ernst Kossak, a balancer and juggler. BROUGH MEMORIAL Ft Na.=rour readers will observe that the dramatic performance by the members 9f the Savage Club, in aid of the above fund, is announced to take place at the Royal Amphitheatre on the 21st inst. The evening's entertainment will commence with the drama of " Giralda, or the Invisible Husband ;" to be followed by the burlesve of the " Forty Thieves ;" and will conclude with the farce of the "Lottery Ticket." The principal characters in all the pieces will be sustained by the members of the Savage Club. In Manchester, where the club intends to give a similar performance, the demand for tickets has been very great, and we have no doubt that the Amphitheatre here will be crammed on the occasion. —____. L i nz GRAND REVIEW THIS DAY AT NEWTON-LE WILLOWS.-7-it is expected that one of the largest and most brilliant assemblages ever before witnessed will grace the review which will be held this afternoon at peaceful and rural village of 111ewtqn-le-*illows. full particulars of the preliminary arrangements of this review have already appeared in our columns, but since we published the lists of the brigades, several additional companies have offered and been accepted ; and about 8,000 rank and file seem to be the number that may be relied upon for their presence. All the carriage room on the course has been let ; the stand tickets have so far sold most satisfactorily; and the volunteers may, we should think, look foriyard to a goodly sum to be divided in prizes at the promised tit - for the two coun ties. Special trains will leave the Edge-hill Station between the hours of two and three p.m. for Col lin's Green, returning from the same station after the review. J. B. GOUGH'S FAREWELL AT TUE CONCERT HALL. — A crowded audience assembled last night in the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, to hear Mr. J. B. Gough, the great advocale of the temperance cause, deliver his fare well oration, previous t o his departure for America. The Rev. Verner Whit e presided, and briefly introduced the lecturer to his numerous audience. In doing so, he took occasion to express his entire concurrence in the object of the meeting, and related many instances in which the movement had been signally successful. Mr. Gough, upon presenting himself to the audience, was received in the most enthusiastic manner. His speech was, as usual, impressive in the highest degree—impas sioned, yet tender. Towards the conclusion of his address, be said he advocated flip Cause of temperance in the fear of God; and believing that he Would have to give Him an account of what he said to them, He advocated it conscientiously, because he knew that to it he owed everything he possessed in this world, and everything he hoped for in the next. He would exert himself in its interest as long as he lived; his sister was once the wife of an intemperate man, but was now, through teetottOT, the mistress of a happy home. He remembered when left leftv, that he left intending to return, and he bad the same intention now ; it was his unswerving purpose to return again to England. In the course of his address, in consequence of the crowded state of the gallery of the hall, a young gentleman fell into the body, but, so far as we can learn, no serious injury has resulted. The proceedings terminated with ; enthusiastic votes of thanks to the chaifman and lecturer. Mr. Gough sails in the Aritbia, this day, for America KILTED COMPANY OF VOLUNTEERS. THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Royal Insurance Company was held yesterday, at the Company's offices, North John-street, the chair being occupied by Mr. Charles Turner. There was a large attendance of shareholders, and among those present were T. D. Anderson, Esq. (Mayor), Messrs. Dover, Brocklebank, Torr, Corbally, Titherington, Cooper, Mozley, Bouch, Livingstone, Johnstone, &c., &c. The notice calling the meeting having been read, the Secretary read the report, the actuary's report on the life business, and the statement of accounts. The fol lowing is a copy of the report: — "REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1859. " The directors of the Royal Insurance Company cannot take under review the topics which are to be included in the present report to the shareholders with out arriving, at the outset, at the conviction that on no occasion have the subjects to be laid before the proprie tors been of more importance than those which are to be submitted now ; and they would add that, on one point more particularly, viz., the prospects of the life business, they look for a arger development of an extended area for the operations of the company, as a result of the present meeting, than of any previous one which has been held. _ _ . " Among the events to be now recorded will be included details of an unexpected amount of success in a year which at one time bore a somewhat unpromising aspect—a statement of the progress of the company through a period of six months of the current year with even less appearance of profit than the last—and the particulars of an investigation into the liabilities of the life accounts of the company of a far more extensive character than is at all usual, terminating in the pro duction of results so favourable as to afford the highest ground of expectation that this branch of the business will speedily be placed in a position in which the com pany will have few compeers. " Taking, then, the entire of the past year, and the lapsed six months of the present one, it may safely be affirmed that together they form a period which has been generally adverse to the interests of fire insurance establishments. Estimates which have been made show some classes of risk in which the losses sustained by the insurance offices of this country must very . far have exceeded the total accumulated premiums received thereon. This unfavourable experience has not been confined to this country, but bas extended more or less to the colonies and to foreign lauds. It would be vain to speculate on the causes of these cycles, marked by deviations from the ordinary results which have been looked for. Sufficient, to state that the one now announced, though clearly distinguished by its discou raging features, has not been SQ prominently calamitous as some others which have occurred before this company was established. It is, moreover, satisfactory to annognce that as respects the Royal Insurance Company, in its own isolated experience of the year, the effects of the extensive and numer ous fi res w hi c h have taken place through so wide a field as has been described, have been rendered all bur inoperative through the countervailing ac tion of its usual success in the increase made to its reverate. ff FIRE nua.iston• "The directors will now proceed more particularly tq dwell on the results of the fire business " It is undoubtedly true that the losses of this bianch have been very large, amounting in the British and Foreign Department to the sum of £77,64 1 3 s. 10d., an d on the American Department to £60,382 19s. 4d. ; but, on the other hand, the exertions made to increase the magnitude of the company's business have been successful beyond any point aimed at or deemed, attain able. The facts now to be stated will prove the correct ness of these assertions. Notwithstanding the large accessions of business made annually through a long series of years, which obviously increase the difficulty of further advances, yet the tire premiums of the year 1859 rise above those of the preceding year by a larger sum than has been obtained by 'the increase or any single year since the formation of the company, except ing the year 1853, when we first added the American branch to its business. To this circumstance, in a great measure, must be attributed the gratifying announce ment that, contrary to any reasonable expectation which could have been entertained, the accounts of the year show a profit of £42,488 3s. 4d. • " The present year, so far as it has passed, has brought with it an experience anything but cheering to the insu rance institutions of the kingdom. An estimate, how ever, made of the Witless of .the 'oyal Insurance Com pany for the half year, so far from producing any loss on the business, exhibits a profit, although certainly not a large One; and thus it has had the advantage of better fortune than many of its contemporaries. As, however, the comparative smallness of the sum exhibits a deviation from the usual success of the company, it cannot fail at least to lessen somewhat in the minds of the shareholders the probability of any marked favour able balance when the year is completed. The directors have, however, so repeatedly adverted to the possible occurrence of single years without profit, if not of abso lute loss from the transactions of the period, that it is only necessary now to indicate the result which the past six months so far presents; which, while it offers no cause for despondency, cannot fail to plape a check on the indulgence of any expectations more supine or unreasonable than the present aspect of the mounts would justify. " But it is desirable to refer briefly as usual to the business in its separate details. "The local branches established throughout the United Kingdom and in Ireland progress most favourably. The Lon . flori establishment increases still more in its magni tude and importance,_ although it has added its full quota to the amount of losses'referred to. The Scottish, Irish, and Manchester branches have lost none of the vigour and success which have hitherto marked their career. " Since the last anniversary meeting a very important branch has been established at Bristol, under the local management of Major Savile, where gentlemen of the first business eminence hare given they names in the formation of a local board of refereuee. Already the energetic action of the local 'manager, backed by this powerful influence, gives promise of the happiest results, and encourages the hope that the company will speedily reap a very large revenue from this West of England and South Wales Branch. The many large . and impor tant towns in this district afford an extensive field for fire and life assurance business, and the name of the 'Royal ' is begi nn i ng t o b e known throughout that part of the kingdom as a company of the highest posi tion and character. . . , ABFERICAN BRANCH. " Considering the heavy This sustained by the great fire in Halifax, it will hardly have been expected by the proprietors that the rapid extension of our business con nection in the United States and in Canada, and the growing estimation of the company among the citizens of the West, should have so enlarged our revenue as to leave a profit, though not a large one, on that account. Taking, however, into consideration with the present announcement on this subject, the unusual magnitude of the profit on this branch for the year 1858, and that the present year exhibits likewise an amount to the credit of the account, it is not too much to say that the American Branch has answered the fullest expectations entertained of its sncceis. " It should not be omitted to be noticed that this success is obtained in the face of an unwise and no tienes . sary reduction of premium in Canada. However, it is hoped that a sounder and more discreet policy may pre vail in future, and that the insurer, being properly protected from any undue rate of charge, a per-tentage of premium may be fixed which will give a reasonable remuneration equivalent to the protection and security which offices of high standing can offer. " It is 'desirable that the proprietors and the insurer should have in a tabUlar farm the ligiireS the progress of the whole fire branch.

" And now the directors desire to call the especial attention of the proprietors to the statements of the life branch of the establishment. "The details on this subject to be laid before you on this day cannot feil to receive your closest attention, as it is believed that in their probable consequences they will form an epoch in the history of thii - eatablislirnent. " The actuary's report on this subject will be read to you presently. It is accompanied by an appendix, con taining the fullest particulars of the investigation made, a printed copy of which is in the hands of each proprie tor present. "To 4 will 41rea4 leave ,een that the comput a ti ons made have been of the most searching kind, and that they present features of communication seldom, if ever, presented in a like form, and to a like extent, to the consideration and judgment of the entire public. It i s expected that these elucidations will attract a deep and profitable attention to the subject of life assurance in the minds of thousands and tens of thousands, who have hitherto given no heed to its principles and advantages ; and it is evident that this company, as well as others, will not fail to reap much of the favourable consequ ences to be anticipated. "The Actuary's report will inform you that the co n _ elusions he has arrived at shop an amount to be carried to the account of the shareholders of £22,000, being one-third share of the profits of the Life i3ranch, 40 that the bonus to be apportioned to the assured, with participation, amounts to £2 per cent. per annum, to be added to the original sum assured of every participating policy effected previously to the Ist January, 1858, for each entire year that it had been in existence since the last appropriation of bonus thereon, on the 31st December, 1859.

"The directors have taken into full consideration the state of the company's accounts, and the prudence which should govern the determination on the dividend to be paid, especially with reference to the fact of the results of the current year being, up to the present moment, anything but prosperolis, "On a review of the entire subject, they have arrived at the conclusion to propose to 'the proprietors that a dividend be declared o f 3 s . pe r s h ar e, and a bonus of 4s. per share, from the amount standing to the credit of prof.t and loss, and that a further bonus of 2s. per share be given, on 'this occasion, out of the sum apportioned to the shareholders frOm the Life branch, —the whole amounting to '9B. per'share; being free of Income-tax. "With respect to this latter sum of 2s. per share, the directors would repe4t th e onv i ot i on , expressed at the meeting of August, 1855, when the last We bonus was declared, that tine shareholders will understand that the distribution now made oti the life account will incur DR danger of creating an annual precedent. fig its appro priation i s dud at inti - ! rv a l s 0 i live years, and, conse quently, no further profits on the life branch will be divisible until the annual meetinc, in the yer.r 104! Chairman. August 2, 1860." The CHAIRMAN said that being the period at which it became the duty of the directors to bring before them the actuary's report on the life business of the company, that subject would, perhaps, be considered by the pro prietors as of predominant interest on that occasion. He would, therefore, make a few observations upon it before offe►ing any remarks upon the general business. It had hitherto been considered that the chief establish ment of a large life office, must either be in Edinburgh or London, but the success of the Royal, as shown by the actuary's report, would convince them that that opinion was altogether erroneous. The time had passed when information could be withheld by life offices from the assured, and they would find that the actuary's re port was unusually full of details. Indeed, he trusted that the . appendix and the report would be studied by the proprietors and the public at large, with the atten tion which it so well deserved. (Hear, hear.) It was, he thought, a most able document, reflecting in finite credit on their most excellent manager, and afforded a large fund of very valuable informa- tion, expressed in clear and simple language, attended by a minuteness of detail which hitherto ha, been altogether unusual. As an evidence of the great success and the rapidity of that success of the Royal In surance Company, he would call their attention to a fact stated iu pages 28 and 29 of the appendix, by which they would observe that while the premiums during the first year of the company's existence only amounted to about £l,OOO, the life premiums during the year 1859, which was the year then particularly under review, being the fifteenth year of the company's existence, the premiums amounted to no less a sum than £62,919. (Hear, hear.) He would also call their attention to a simple statement in paragraph 6, page 4, of the appen dix, by which they would observe that they had to the credit of the life department a sum equal to 64 per cent. of the entire premiums received from that branch of the business. (Applause.) He wished also to allude for one moment to the very sound principles upon which the valuation had been made by their actuary, as would appear not only from the report, but particularly from the appendix to which he had already referred. In estimating the value of their life liabilities, their actuary had only calculated interest on the fund which was set apart to meet their life liabilities at the rate of 3 per cent. A great many of them, who, perhaps, had paid no great attention to such matters, would be astonished to find the enormous difference which the small difference in the rate of interest would make in the estimate of the fund necessary to be set apart to meet their life liabilities, and with their permission he would just read one paragraph of the appendix whieh bore upon that subject. The flattery said,—" If I had made these valuations, reckoning the interest of money at 4 per cent., instead of 3 per cent., which has been the rate adopted, I estimate that the amount of liabilities, would then appear to be only about the sum of £68,000, instead of £147,000, as stated in the particulars enumerated at page 39 ; and that, consequently, the pro4t4 would nominally appear to be enhanced by no less a sum than about £79,000. But this mode of valuation would be deceptive and dangerous." He thought the assared would agree that 4 per cent. would be too high a rate of interest to calculate on for a permanence in future, looking at the immense period over which those life liabilities had to extend, and that a rate of that kind would not give that confidence to the assured which it was desirable to give to them. He thought it would be clear to them from the statement in the reportthat the greatest prudence had been exercised by their actuary in making those valuations, and that no step had been taken by him beyond what prudence and experience in these matters would fully warrant. There was this great advantage in the sound principles which their actuary had laid down, that in future years it would be attended with greater violence, and would involve greater responsibility on the part of any suc ceeding actuary, if he were to adopt a laxer system and to depart from those strict and prudent prin ciples which their actuary had so well laid down. (Hear, hear.) He must say he augured most favour ably from the result of that report of the present state of their business and the sound prin ciples on which it was founded—principles which, he thought, were well calculated to secure safety to the assured, and to secure to the proprietors a continuance of that increased success to which the directors confi dently looked forward. Vast as had been the success of the most eminent life establishments, he saw no reason why the Royal should not reasonably and justly look forward to share equally and to the same extent in the confidence of the public. The result of their fire busi ness had, he thoaght, on the whole been as good as could fairly be reckoned upon under the circumstances under which it had been carried on. The losses on fire had been both numerous and extensive during the year 1869 —far beyond the usual average—while premiums had been reduced to an inadequate amount by the reckless competition which had been caused by numerous minor offices, and which they had to contend with. It was a a very satisfactory thing to the directors to be able to lay before them such a report and such a statement under the circumstances, and he trusted they would give them credit for having given constant and careful atten tion to the business of the company. They had purchased during the past year premises in the city of Manchester for the transaction of their important business in that locality, and he thought the purchase would turn out a profitable one to the coawany, r}rid give them a good return, besides the advantage it would give them of carrying on their business. As regarded the dividend recommended in the report, they would have gathered from the statement of accounts that the amount to the credit of profit and loss at the end of the year 1858 was £22,409, and if they added to that the amount of the English and foreign business during the same year £36,749, it gave £59,158 as the amount of the credit to profit and loss at the end of the year q 59 ; to that they must add the amount at the credit of the American business £5,740, and the amount which they were entitled to carry to the credit of profit and loss £22,000, in round numbers gave a total of £86,897. The way in which they proposed to appropriate the money, and which he hoped would meet with their approval, was this—The amount to !the credit of the reserve fund at the end of the year 1859 was £147,000 in round numbers; but the directors, looking at the extensive nature of the business, and considering that the premiums received last year, taking English and foreign, was something like 1230 1 000, that though £147,00 0 was a very creditable sum, still the directors thought it was not the amount at which the reserve fund ought to stand perma nently, therefore they proposed to take out of their prefits £13,000, making the reserve fund £160,000. The dividends and bonus would altogether amount to £44,228 18s. ld., leaving the balance to the credit of profit and loss at the end of 1859, if their recommendation was adopted, £29,688, or £7,=% 59 more than the'ainount Of credit of profit and loss in xB5B. They must, in bringing these matters before them, make some reference to their course of business during the past six months ; and though he believed that all who had experience in insurance offices were aware that the fire business during that period had been ex tremely calamitous, he was happy to say that there was some profit to the credit of that account, though it was very small ; and certainly if their h,nsiness went on in the satrie'ratie up to the end of the year, there would be nothing like the amount which would enable them to give 3s. dividend, and 4s. bonus. Looking at that fact, the directors thought they ought to recommend them to strengthen the profit and loss account, and they hoped the proprietors would not object to increasing the amount carried to profit and loss by £7,259. As regarded the 2s. out of the life business, the proprietors were aware that there could be no division of profits until the expiration of Live years from that time. The chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. The MAYOR, in seconding the motion, said that the report which had been read, and the sirpplerriental rema r k s of the chairman, were so entirely satisfactory, that he felt it could be unnecessary for him to make more than a few remarks. It was always very agreeable to to take part in a meeting of a prosperous establishment --particularly one which had the good fortune to have been enabled from its very foundation to place before the shareholders and the public a favourable account of its business. This had been the case iu an especial manner with the Royal Insurance Company. At bad, from its very commencement, enjoyed a large share of public fasoirr and confidence, to which it s had proved to be so justly entitled. This confidence he thought had been produced by various causes—by the steady and continuous increase which it had shown from year to year in its business ; by the prudence of the directors in maintaining a large reserve fund in case of losses; and last, though not least, by the ability and indefatigable exertions of its actuary. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to see it stated, that the American branch had answered the fullest expectations which were entertained of it, as be 'kiss one bf those who adyot,:ated u continuance of the business, when some were inclined to give it up. He believed it would increase in safety year by year. He thought it was very satisfactory, also, to see that though in institutions of a similar character the fire business had been this year unprofitable, yet that the Royal had been able to carry a sum, though not a very large sum, to the credit of the profit and loss of that account. Perhaps the most interesting portion of the report was that to which the chairman had so fully alluded —namely, the life business, which was shown to be in such ssatisfactory state by the able tables and diagrams which had been drawn up by the actuary. g e would not detain them longer by any ternarv s , nut merely second the adoption of the report. Mr. MOZLEY said that after the very able remarks which had fallen from the Chairman and the Mayor, he would not wish to detain them with any remarks of his own. The report would be satisfactory, generally speak ing, to the shareholders at large, more especially as the Chairtian had very justly brought before the proprietora the position of the fire business. T itpses GerCl ink had been most severe, and it had struck hin . 4 *Whet it 70 - 414 not he proper to' inquire at the general meeting the amount of premiums charged upon property in ware houses certified and uncertified, as well as upon that within the dock walls. If he understood rightly, the rate charged on certified warehouses ivhiie the rate on uncertified warehouses was 14s. or 15s. (The Chairman : Fifteen.) And upon goods in the ware houses within the dock walls the rate was only 3s. 6d. It appeared to him that there was a great deal of disparity between those rates. The CHAIRMAN said the premium on the goods in dock warehouses was 3s. 6d. ; the premiums upon pri vate certified was 9s ; but, with this explanation that specific certified warehouses, which were almost ana logous to dock warehouses, was only 65., and if the warehouses were under exclusive management, as was the case with the dock warehouses, the rate was only 4s. Therefore, under the same conditions, the re was only a difference between- the private certified ware houses and the dock warehouses of 6d. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MOZLEY said that answer was very satisfactory as far as it went, and his only object in calling the attention of the board to the fact was to ascertain whether some course could not be adopted with other offices, to put the rates of premium as near as possible to each other, at all events, to make the disparity less. (Hear, hear.) His attention hid been called to it because in looking at the returns which had been made ' it did not appear that the amount of profit which they had received was equal to the amount of the risk. If after communication with other offices they were unable to make any change, the proprietors must be satisfied that the soundest discretion was used, and that no change could take place; but it would appear evident to all, that whilst they congratulated themselves on the extension of their business, they must never disguise from themselves that they were acquiring a larger area of risk, and that therefore the policy adopted by the board, and recommended by the chairman, was a sound one; for although he felt that existing proprietors were fairly entitled to a large proportion of the profit realised out of their own property, still it would not be acting prudently to fetter the hands of the board by the abstraction of a large sum. There was another question which he should like to ask as regarded the investment accounts, for it appeared to him that the property put down was taken at too low a figure. If he recollected rightly, the property here was put down at £15,000, and that in London at £s,ooo.—(The Chairman : Quite right.)—Now, I wish to ask what is the amount originally put upon it, and at what figure that property 4tands in the books of the company The CHAIRMAN—The property stands in the books of the company as it appears on the balance-sheet, Mr. MOZLEY—I want to know the original cost of the property. The CHAIRMAN—The amount written off against the premises in which we are now, is £15,42. Mr. MOZLEY—May I inquire if the amount paid for property was paid out of capital, or out of income ? The CHAIRMAN—The amount was paid out of capital and written off against revenue. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MOZLEY—It would then appear to me that, if that practice is carried on, we are withdrawing from the existing proprietors a very large sum of money, which is not added to the revenue fund, but to the'profit and loss fund, leaving it fur others to enjoy that advantage which we ourselves have paid for. Mark me, I don't object in a given degree to a principle laid down by the board ; but, if that be carried out to too large an extent, I can clearly see that a very considerable sum will he witk drawn either from the revenue or the capital of the company, The CHAramAx—We don't propose to take anything further at this time for these premises. What has been written off was by the express approval of the share holders. Mr. YOUNOHUSBAND—I think the last written off was two years ago. Mr. Mozeey--Then the matter is at once set at rest, and I agree with the chariman in expressing satisfac tion at the results of the year under the particular cir cumstances in which we have been placed. I cannot permit the very able document which has been placed before lei by the actuary relative to the life busi ness to pass unnoticed. There is no question that as far as regards that particular department it is a most profitable one; and I, in conjunction with the chairman, cannot see why Liverpool, as the great northern metro polis, should not be able to cope with the best offices elsewhere. The grave question in my mind is the extent to which you press the business without looking to the amount of the reserve fund that you keep. I should certainly urge upon the board steadfastly to look at that point, keeping their attention to the increase of the fund which is put aside for life risks. We are perfectly aware that so long as you Utica those risks so sure are you that we shall have to pay for them. It therefore becomes important that although we receive very large premiums, we should make a reserve fund equally large in order to meet tha area over which we have spread our insurances and the risks we have undertaken. (Hear, hear). Therefore, I say with the chairman, that it would be politic not to extend the amount of the bonus to be distributed to the shareholders out of the amount that has been received. However, if we do make the amount larger than it has been put down at, we should be led to distribute a larger amount to. the assured. That 1 consider would scarcely have been a prudent or politic course. (Hear, hear). Mr. Mozley concluded by expressing satisfaction at the manner to which'the directors had done their business, and a hope that the same course would be pursued by them. Mr. TAUNTON said the amount of the reserve fund appeared to be large, and asked under what possible circumstances that sum could be entrenched upon. The CHAIRMAN replied that he did not contemplate , that the sum would be entrenched upon, which, in point of fact, was a reassurarioe fend. He did not know whether the proprietors were aware that it was the custom in some offices to. carry out to the credit of profit and loss the whole of the sum received, leaving the losses to be borne by future premiums. Therefore, the reserve fund was a reassurance fund for risks which they had already carried to the credit of profit and loss. They ought to have a reserve fund equal to one year's premiums. The premiums received last year amounted to something like £230,000, while the reserve fund would only be £160,000, which was not too large, but in his opinion not large enough. Mr. TAUNTON—I gather from your reply, that if in any one year the losses exceeded the premiums we should go without a dividend. The CHAIRMAN—I consider you might entrench upon the profit'and loss account; but under no circumstances should I consider it justifiable to entrench upon the reserve fund. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution approving of the computations of the actuary in the life department, and approving thy, bonus recommended in the report. Mr. 'loan, in seconding the motion, said the report of their ecellent actuary was worthy of the perusal of every shareholder and every policy holder connected with that establishment. He warmly eulogised the actuary, Mr. Dove, for the manner in which he had drawn up the report, which he considered was calculated to render simple a science which had been thought too rloe lA to engage the attention of the world at Large, The motion was wit, and unanimously agreed to ; end a reeolutionoriaking the dividend declared payable on the 20th instant, having been passed, The CHAIRMAN said that though the assured took two-thirds of the £66,000 profit on the life branch, and the proprietors were entitled to £22,ooo—and this, too, upon the safest calculation which could possibly be made—they had agreed to take only £10,000; so that the greatest possible care had been taken of the interests of the assured, (la the motion of the Ohairman, seconded by Mr. Ymu;ghwthal;d , M essrs. _ Titheriagtcal Ilickeuscut were re-elected auditors. Mr. Tarsannewrore, in maponding, said it might be aatisfaatAl to the shareholders to know that they had gone about their work in a business-like way, and. that he was prepared to give not only a satisfactory account, but a most gratifying account of the position of the company in regard to its solid substantial property. They had examined the securities of the eowe.ny, and had had every document in V I office placed at their disposal upon heir, aWaAttft' UDR; and he would jut give thew, What 4e considered to be real' ppojAcq; of the sectirities, They had pro perty to the amount of 408,000 in hand, and the remaining 478,000 was in floating balances ; and he believed that if they were to wind up the affairs of the company they might realise within a week £650,000 of that property and turn it into ready cash. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them that their property was as good as if it were in the Bank of England. (Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks having been weed to, the actuary) Mr. Dove, and to, t r he. Qbairman, the proceedings terminate. CHARGE OE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. From time to time since the Bth of June we have published the details of the charge made against Thos.

The last meeting took place yesterday morning, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn presiding. The tent was crowded by a fashionable audience. The Bard of the Eisteddfod read an address, written •by Lady Llanover's amanuensis, the young lady who won the prize on female educa tion. The trumpet sounded, and Talhaiarn announced that the adjudication of Eben Naad Cara Ingli and Cyddelw would be read on the poems received on the subject of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, for which a prize of twenty guineas had been offered. The trumpet again sounded, and Eben Fardd stepped forward, and proceeded to read the adjudication in the Welsh language. Four compositions had been received. These were by Jael, Aweuydd, Pedr, and Goronwy Mon, the last being successful. The poem was designated as good and excellent, numbering 1,040 lines, pervaded by the spirit of poetry. The thoughts were appropriate, and the whole poem read smoothly. The descriptive por tion of it was extremely good. The suc cessful competitor was announced to be Mr. John Evelyn Jones, M.A., who was led by the• hand to the platform by the Bard of the Eisteddfod, and conducted to the bardic chair, to which it is said are attached many historical asso ciations, it being the one used at the installation of the renowned Twm o'r Nant, and Jeuan Glau Geirwnydd. The chair is oak, and was decorated with evergreens. The trumpet sounded a third time, and the Bard of the Eisteddfod approached with a'sword, which he held over the successful competitor's head, whilst the trumpets were again sounded, and the assembly cheered. Mr. Thomas, of Liverpool, played a solo on the violin. The adjudication by the Rev. Dr. James (Dewi o Ddyfed) the Rev. W. Jones, and Nefydd, on the essays on Druidism, were read, the pri;e offered being £2O guineas. Two essays only had been re ceived; and neither was worthyof the prize, which was withheld accordingly. The subject has, how ever, been left open for further competition. Mr. Brooks, of Manchester, sang a song and Glan Alun read the adjudication of Rev. W. Jones, Nefydd, and himself on three hundred questions and answers on Welsh .history. The prize was ten guineas, divided between Mr. Johns, of Ruthyn, schoolmaster, and the Rev. David Griffiths, Independent minister, Caernarvonshire. Lady Llanover offered a prize of £5 for the best Welsh player on the Welsh harp. The Eisteddfod were outside the hall of the com petition. Some discussion ensued, and the com petition was postponed. - The adjudication upon an eulogistic poem on the Vale of Clwyd was read. The prize was withheld. After an anthem from the Dyserch choir, the Rev. Hicks Owen announced that the adjudica tion on the essays on " Defence not Defiance" was postponed, in consequence of the essays not having been read by his fellow adjudicators. The prize of £2 was offered by Colonel Eaton. Colonel Eaton made some remarks on the volunteer movement, and after Owain Alaw had sang a song, the competition for Lady Llanover's prize was proceeded with. Two harpists com peted—a man and a boy; their performances were very creditable. Mr. Liewelyn Williams received the prize. Lady Williams " was the adjudicator. Sir Wat.kin and Mr. Williams, of Chester, rewarded them, with a sovereign each. Mr. Williams delivered a Welsh oration. Se veral persons competed for a prize of £2 25., and a second prize of £l, offered for the best singers of Englynion. The first prize was awarded to. John Jones, of Manchester ; and the second to an old grey-headed man, named Joseph Williams. At this juncture the wind, which blew heavily during the morning, ripped up the tent over the platform. Dr. Williams, of Wrexham, awarded the third best singer of the Penillion, Bob Owen of Llanrwst, 10s. There was no competition for the prize of t we nty five guineas for an essay on Welsh composition. Six poems on "The Missionary," were unwor thy of the prize. Votes of thanks to the Chairman, Owain Alaw, the committee, and others, brought the meeting to a close. In the evening, a meeting was held in the Town-hall, for the purpose of placing the Eisteddfod on a permanent footing. A grand concert followed, in which all the talent available was displayed.

Teeth influenze the form and expressiop sof the cOu4tenWe more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speeking or smiling, a fascination present which prevenirs further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth ; for, how ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup plying the deficiency by manse of Artificial Teeth.
