lasting.
I have opened the second part of this aunpaign by permit-

with which I have gained nothing hat victories, to conquer
Alien under my own eye. This expedition is an instance
of the passage of an arm of the sea unique in the history
of war—a, storm by water of welbdefended entrench-
ments. May this commencement be a mod example for all

the troops which may subsequently have the honour to take

part in conflicts. May this commencement further serve to
gain for myself personally that confidence from your leaden

brilliantsuccessesin war. May, finally, the unity hithertosub.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPIRA.

what has been said so ohms—that its heroine is • panthers
that ought never to have been brought upon the siege.
All such strictures have turned out vain and idle
words, and perhaps have had the effect of inereathig
rather than checking the popularity of the opera. There I
an interest—albeit a morbid interest—in the story, that
prevails over the better judgment of the audios°, ; end it
must be admitted that there is a charm in Verdi's simple
but sweet and expressive music which it is not easy to
resist. leaving all such considerations, then, we have only
to say that Mdlle. Artet is one of the beet
repreentativas that have appeared of the frail
fair the. She is graceful, ladylike, sad attractive ;
acts with great intelligence and feeling, and sinp exqui-
sitely. She gave the Anacreontic song, " Libiamo," with •
joyous abandon s hick contrasted strikingly with the deep
pathos of the subeignect air, " Ah, forte lui ;" and the im-
pression thus made by her at the outset was fully main-
Wired to the end. She was effectively supported by Natant
and Gniciard : the latter had the usual encore for his air,
"Di Proveoca." The opera was beautifully put on the
stage, sad the whole performance wee much applauded.

THE VISIT OP THE PRINCE OP WALES TO THE

lop fair days the Whitechapel-reed has sot preseated
each an animated appearance for a very long period. Even
the Strand, Fleet-street, St. Paul's-churchyard, Cheapside,
Aldgate, and the other roads leading to the hospital, were
crowded with spectators, who welcomed his royal highnem
and the primer very heartily. On reaching the
hospital about twenty minutes after 1 o'clock, the
royal party wax received by his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge and the Hon. Artillery Company, who acted as

LONDON AND BRAZILIAN BANK (LIMITED).
(THIS DAY.)

An ordinary general meeting of the shareholders
was held at noon at the London Tavern, Mr. H. L. Bteceorr-
SHEIK, deputy chimaera, presiding. The report said the
accounts to the 31st of December showed a net profit for
the half-year of 15,5314 4a. Bd., after making due allow-
epee for all bad and doubtful debts. Oat of this sum it
was proposed to pay a dividend, free of income
tax, of If. Is. per share, emanating to 13,61 W.
(being six per cant. on the capital paid up on
31st December, 1863). and to carry forward the balance
of 1,8811. 4s. Bd. to the credit of the cost aeooent
The branches now established were Rio de Janeiro, Pll2llOlll-
- end Rio Grande do Sal, in &nail, and Lisbon and
Oporto in Portugal. That at Bahia would common°e
business on Ist July, and there was every resale to believe
that the combined operations of these establishments
would secure most satisfactory results. The direc-
tors bad petitioned parliament for a private ball
to authorise the divine's at the shares, bug were
unsuoomsful, both in their petition, and also in a tub-
segment application to government to introduce a public bill
to the seam effect. Mr. B. J. Knight having proceeded to
Lisbon as manager of that bnuaoh, the directors bad ap-
pointed as secretary Mr. John Beaton, late manager of the
Oporto branch, end formerly emereeary to the Anglo-Porta-

The CHAIRMAN. in moving the adoptios of the report,
observed that the amount earned is the half-year was about
9i per eget., but it was thought desirable to limit the
dividend to I/. Ia per share, provision having been made
for paying off all bad and doubtful debt& Enough had
been emu already of the branches to show that they were
likely to prove very eatialectory. As regarded the charges,
he observed that they might fairly be expected to diminish
every half-year in mannerism with the amount of business
done and the profits realised. Circular letters of credit
and other bushier of that kind would, he believed, prove
very productive.
In reply to a question,
The CHAIRMAN said that from the last advioes received,
it appeared that no fresh bad debts bad bees incurred,
adding that the bad debt. referred to in the report were
those mentioned at the last meeting.
The report was adopted, and a dividend is accordanoe with
it declared, after which the minting terminated in the usual
manner.

On Friday evening Colonel M'Mnrdo, the in-
spector-general of volunteers, was entertenied at a banquet
at Edinburgh. In speaking of the condition and prospects
of the volunteers, the gallant colonel bore high testimony
to their efficiency, and said he considered their present
strength to be but the nucleus of what would be required ii
times of war. The number at present enrolled was 163,000,
of whom about 130,000 or 140,000 were silkiest. Judging
by the number who bad pissed through drill, sad retired
from the form, he calculated that is an emergency the
volunteers would very rapidly increase to 200,000. Colonel
