RE TIIK PIICENLI LUIS

COY PAIT.

Thin corm came on again upon the question which was
r,serted at the tart hearing, of the allowance of a claim for
premiums paid for marine insurances. The company, being
lifr company, had issued marine policies, and on t►e
former bearing these policies were held void. The holders
of the pollen!s then insisted that at least they were entitled
to a return of their premiums, and upon this claim the
Vice-Chancellor reserved his judgment.
His Honour now delivered judgment on this point, and
said that having considered the matter, he was of opinion
that the premiums ought to be allowed against the estate.
These premiums had been received by the directors, and by
them applied to the general purposes of this defunct 00111.
luny. The mere receipt of these sums of money involved no
illegality, and was contrary in no way to public policy. The
directors had power to raise money, and to apply it to the
purposes of the company. It was only in their presumed
contract of insurance against marine loin that they went
beyond the law. But, because that contract failed,
the mere receipt of money was not illegal. There was no
case precisely in point, but in the analogous cases of annui-
ties set aside as void, the court always allowed the recovery
f sums actually paid. These premiums must consequently
be allowed in the winding•up of the company.

PRUSSIA.

The Berlin Gazette announces that, " for reasons
which it is not yet possible to make public," the
dissolution of the Chamber has been decided upon.
" The Prussian government is firmly decided,"
nays a letter from Berlin of the 19th, " on quitting
the customs union, if the states of the Zollverein
refuse to accede to the treaty with France. It is
this autumn that the conventions of the Zollverein
must be denounced, awl in that case they will ex_
pire on the Ist January, 1866."

INDIA.

Bombay papeis of June 28 state that the
government of Bombay bas received a telegram of
a battle between Host Mahoined and the Herateea.
Nothing definite is known, but it is believed the
Ameer has lost several chiefs of note.

The Rajah of Travancore has issued a proclama-
tion declaring that the paper currency of British
India shall henceforth be a legal tender throughout
his territories.

Cholera of a virulent type is raging at Hydera-
bad and Secunderabad, Deccan.
The general health of the country is good. The
rains have commenced in all parts of the country
most favourably, and the season is progressing in
the moat promising manner. Severe weather on
the coast has caused considerable loss. The most
serious is that of the ship James Pikington,
which was wrecked about twenty-five miles to the
north of Bombay on the evening of the 17th Jane.
She was an iron ship of 1,352 tons burthou, com-
mended by Captain Gritfiths, owned by Mr. Ed-
ward Bates, of Liverpool, and loaded with a
general cargo of bale goods and iron. Two of the
crew were lost—the rest escaped only with their
lives. The ship almost immediately went to
pieces, and the cargo was entirely lost.
The supposed Nana, who was arrested some
months ago at Kurrachee, has been released by
order of the goverument of India. The man has
been proved to be a professional beggar.
An Englishman named Rudd has been sentenced
to be hanged at Calcutta, for shooting a native in
the Puujaub. Except an Irish soldier, who was
hanged in 1858 for shooting a comrade, this will be
the first instance of a European being executed in
Calcutta since it became a British possession. A
petition has been presented for the man's reprieve.
Mr. Cairn, Inspector of Schools, has been ap-
pointed censor of the native press in the North-
West Provinces, and every book published or sold
will have to receive his sanction and permission
under a heavy penalty.

ANOTHER CHINA WAR.

The China mail, which arrived at Bombay on
the 19th ult., is and to have brought an urgent
demand for troops to be sent from India, our small
force at Shanghai being considered in a somewhat
critical position. The Taepin,gs have repulsed the
allies with lose, and killed the French Admiral
Protet.

The Bombay Times of the 27th ult. Naga :

We have repeatedly warped the home public that there
would soon be • fourth China war upon our heads, from the
nature of oar emichset toward the Taepings around Shanghai,
and advioes of its onsuiseacement are already on their way

to England. Urgent demands are said to have come
forward from China to the Indian government for
troops —to do what To meet an aggression
we have wantonly provoked, on the part of
men who sincerely wished to be at pesos with
us, and to enter upon the conquest of the
Chinese empire. For that is what is really before us. The
events of the last two years have made it clear that all
material power is on the side of the Taepiogs, and if we
destroy that power, we must hold the country our-
selves to dud it at no distant date a ground of conflict
with Francs —or abandon it to the worst °rousts of
anarchy. If, instead of madly warring upon the Taepings,
we had placed ourselves in friendly relations with
them, Shanghai might now hays been a free port, and the
Yangtae Kiang throughout He length as safe to Europoui
commerce as the Thames. We have deliberately espoused
the cause of the most corrupt, weak, and cruel despotism
the world has ever seen—a despotism hopeless of reform or
regeneration—and are about to reap the bitter
fruits of our policy. Our conduct towards these
Tsepinp has been so wholly inexcusable, that were
they to hacg every European that falls into
their hands, none could justly blame them. What
offence have they committed against us, that our CallOOD
and fleets are to be employed in destroying them, and our
soldiery in capturing them, and handing them over to the
tender mercies of Mandarins to be disembowelled? Have
the Taepings no atrocities to avenge, that all our sympathies
are with the bloody crew of whom Yeh stands oat in our
time as the type? Here, an elsewhere, it is the undue
preponderance of our supposed commercial interests that
decides our policy ; and without staying to inquire
what natural right and justice demand of us, we plunge
headlong into a guilty strife, flattering ourselves that the
"general intends of humanity" move us. We do trust
that this Taeping war will rouse the country to a searching
and adequate inquiry into the matter. The Taepings are
not the monsters they have been declared to be, and were
European indultam brought frankly to bear upon them, we
might check their excesses at once, and lead them to the
establishment of s settled sad peaceful rule.

This was the petition of • wife for a judicial separation on
the ground of adultery. The respondent denied the charge,
and pleaded cruelty. The marruge took place in February,
1837. and there bad been two children. The respondent,
Mr. Jackson Villiers Tuthill, was a retired captain in the
army. He lived with his wife at Brentwood, and after-
wards in Ireland.

Mrs. Florence Ayr., the daughter of the petitioner, stated
that she was 1 years of age, and that she was married to

COTTON GOODR—M•acasurra, JULY 22.—There has
been a rather considerable business in yarns at last week's
prices, but it has consisted chiefly of wake from stocks
holding by speculators. Fur spinners very little has been
dune, buyers being unwilling to give the pr's they demand.
The busies's reported embraces *early all kinds of yarn,
but the principal sales have been to shippers to India and to
German houses. The home trade have only operated to a
moderate extent. For the Mediterranean not much doing.
For the lower qualities of yarn, made frem Surat cotton,
sellers report in some instances rather easier prices. la the
cloth market there appears to b., a complete stagoaties for
all markets, a4d for almost all kinds of goods. The prices
given last week are quite unobtainable today, but at the
same time manufacturers are unwilling to give way, and
are not pressing sales. An improbities prevails that with
the cotton in Liverpool and that on the way from
India, we shall have quite enough to last till Clartsianas,
and a surplus, at the present rate of ommaroptioe.
Under these circumstances the feeling is that the

present high prime for the raw material cannot
bbee
be maintained, and this to some extent account. for
the very little business doing here as well u at Liver-
pool. The present rates for yarn and cloth are insufficient
to cover the oest of cotton, and, as rioted above, molten
are unable to find customers even at the present rel.o
low rates they are making. Since last week about SOD

A Warsaw letter in the Slide says :

The telegraph must have informed you of the murder of
Volkoer, the chief of the secret police. The perpetrators of
this crime have as yet esc.ped all the researches of justice,
and it is impossible to say how far political motives led to
the asssasination. Volkoer was an officer of the Russian
army, but resigned several years back in order to enter the
service of M. Macbanoti, who has left such melancholy
recollections here. He was first charged to organise schools
for converting the children who frequented them to the
Greek church, and was afterwards appointed director
of a school at Warsaw. His conduct, however,
caused such complaints that it was found necessary to re•
move him. He then entered the secret police, of which be
at last became the principal agent. He is reproached with
having in that position committed a groat number of acts of
injustice and abuse of power. He was • hard and cruel
man, and sought out with • sort of zeal opportunities of
making his power felt. He was maid to have denounced and
I arrested Alexander Z.unoyski, the man employed at the
Credit Foncier Company, for having • clandestine press,
and whose detention and examinatioo were accompanied by
tortures the recital of which, officially denied, bat which
could not be disproved by any direct proof, caused some
months back such a sensation in Europe.

FINE ARTS.

THE BRITISH INSTITUTION.

The British Gallery in Pall-mall was opened. eu
Wednes•iay for the exhibition of the htndios made
(ruin ti• • pictures of the opi rin•••ers, lent for that
purpus by the various puss: rs. The British
institution continues to speak cf the brief oppor-
timits of copying a few piettires, which is thus
e:iereil every year for a v*.ry limited time as " tile
School of Painting ;" it would be far better to say
nothing about a school of painting, for this certainly
ea:mot be said to exist if may judge from the
very mediocre attempts which characterise the pre-
sent collection of studies. Tiu• great majority of
the painters here require eviilently a great deal of
teaching ; few know even the manipulative part
of the art, and none seem to perceive the
higher qualities of the examples set before them.
Thus there cant we think, be little doubt that this
mode of educating by copying is directly injurious
as preventing originality, and at the same time that
it is apt to encourage the practice of making imita-
tive pictures, the only object of which is to palm
them off as originals upon some benighted virtuoso
with more money than knowledge of the arts.
Though it is not exactly complimentary to the
works of the so-called students at the British Insti-
tution to say so, yet we must admit that not more
than one or two of these copies resemble the origi-
nal sufficiently to suggest any purpose beyond
mere study and practice. Two copies of small pic-
tures by Canaletto, which bear no name, are evi-
dently the work of a practised imitator, but they
fail in all the good points of the master, although
such copies, if dirtied over, would no doubt deceive.
There is also a copy of the landscape by Wilson,
which is cunningly painted as if to be " doctored "
and warmed up, and cracked by the process of
baking to prepare it for the market. If these are
the works of genuine students, the directors could
not be expected to interfere, but it is certainly de-
sirable that some check should be exercised lest an
institution established for promoting the fine arts
should find itself unwittingly serving very unworthy
purposes.

at the Pianoforte," consistizg of a selection of pieces from
the works of the greatest composers for that instrument,
played by herself, intermixed with several airs, snug by
Miss Eliza Hughes, and illustrated by anecdotes of the
musicians whose compositions were introduced, and remarks
on their chief characteristics, written fur Mrs. Macfarren
by her distinguished relative Mr. G. A. Meclarren, and
delivered by herself.

The literary portion of this entertainment was of suffi-
dent magnitude and importance to deserve the acme of a
lecture. It was worthy of Mr. 3lacfarren's pen—written
with great elegance. full of interesting biographical matter,
and instructive from the soundness and good taste of its
remarks and criticisms. The fair lecturer's delivery was
perfect— clear, animated, graceful, and ladylike.

PETITIONS.

Alderman Abbiss presented a petition from the commit-
tee of the Sea-Side Convalescent Hospital, at Seaford, near
Newhaven, asking for a grant of money.
A motion was made that the petition should be referred
to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, but it was nega-
tived on the ground that the institution wax only established
in the year 18110, and that there had not been sufficient
time to judge of its usefulness, or its claims upon the corpo-
ration of London for assistance.
The next business before the court was a report of the
Improvement Committee, brought up by the chairman,
Deputy Fry, upon the subject of the widening and im-
proving Lower Thames.street, but as the court had already
been sitting for a very long time, and the debate upon the
subject was likely to be a protracted one, it was arranged
that tLe matter should be postponed, and the court shortly
afterwards adjourned.

THE ROMAN LADIES AND GARIBALDI.

The Italia publishes an address froM some of the
Roman ladies to Garibaldi, in which they say that
" Rome may now be called the land of the dead,"
but that they look for deliverance to Garibaldi

The following is Garibaldi's reply :
Roman Ramona,
Some or death! I have hand these words resound
from the lovely slopes of Sebeto to the piled•up
rocks of the Alps. Rome or death ! That is
the oath taken by the proud sons of Pakistan
and Palermo. Women ! do not blaspheme by milieu
Rome the laud of the dead. Row could there be dead in
the heart of Italy —in the heart of the world? The ashes
of Rome, the ashes of her unhappy eons have bten buried,
but these ashes are so impregnate with life as to be able to
regenerate the world. home is • word that will arouse
peoples as the tempest raises the waves. Rome, the mother
of Italian grandeur. Was it not its history of giants, its
wonderful miss, that kindled in my young soul the flame of
the beautiful, the ardour of generous designs. Rome ! oh,
Rome! who is not urged by thy very name to take arms for
thy deliverance' Who feels not thus has not deserved the
tender embrace of • mother, the ardent kin; of • lover.
Such • cue has only to restore • base heart to its original
okay. Ladies, lam with you to death.
Garibaldi has issued at the same time a manifesto
to the &laves, which would seem to indicate, if
his language is to be interpreted literally, that it
was in that quarter he was going to attempt an
expedition. The manifesto of the celebrated
Italian patriot is almost equivalent to an appeal
to the people to rise in insurrection.

TO THE EDITOR or THE UNIT!!.

SIR,—In your able report of the proceedings at
Guildhall against me, you have fallen into an error, which
I feel sure you will allow me to correct. You report Captain
Grant in his cross-examination as saying, "I knew that Mr.
Antrobus was suing him fora large sum, but I did not know
it was for 3,000/.” The reverse is the tact. lam suing Mr.
Antrobus for about that amount, and such I understood
Captain Grant to state. Will you kindly insert this letter
in your publication of to-morrow am, &c.,

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The building And grounds of this popular institu-
tion were thrown open yesterday to between 3,000 and 4,000
visitors, chiefly of the middle class and of the higher artisan
class, who were admitted gratuitously, by tickets distributed
among the trade clubs and societies of London. The
arrivals began to be numerous to rants two o'clock, and by
three p.m. the hulk of the visitors had arrived. The
grounds at this hour presented a pleasing aspect—dotted
everywhere with quiet family groups, some walking on the
biped terraces, some meting on the turf in the shadow of
the noble trees which adorn the gardens, some admiring the
sculpture--all evidently enjoying the glorious weather, the
pure air, the green foliage around them, and the far-
arreading landscape beyond. Within the building the
groups. after promenading in the nave, assembled in front
of the great orcheatrs to hear a performance of Named
mimic on the grand organ. The pieces selected were chiefly
from the oratorios of Handel, and they were listened to
with apparently as much attention, and as thorough an en-
joyment of t►e great master's solemn strains, as could have
been felt by the most highly educated musical audience.
When the roughs was over a large number of the visitors
pirtook of tea in the refreshment rooms, after which pro-
menading in the grounds became the general amusement.
The most perfect order reigned everywhere throughout the
day ; nothing in the shape of games or 'porta
was anywhere observable; the quiet enjoyment of the
sacred music, the Lively scenery and the delightful
weather, appeared to be universally understood as in
best keeping with the character of the day. We could
net but be pleased to observe this prevalent tone, and
to reflect upon the health and refreshment gained on this oc-
elision by thousands cf busy workers, whose lives are too
often passed amidst the deleterious influences of crowded,
ill-ventilated, gas-lit workshops. A similar excursion, it is
announced, will take place on the 17th of this month ; and the
committee of management, in a small paper which they have
put forth, invite benevolent persons who may approve their
object to bead their cortributions to the care of W. Baxter,
ea:rotary, at theCentml Committee-room, Newman'aCoffee-
Loose, 11, High Holborn. The selection of Sunday for
these excursions involves a question with which it is not
our province to deal ; but reserving this point as one for
individual)odgmeot, we cannot but wish well to any move-
ment tending to secure for the popular classes such health.
ful, innocent, end, we may add, refined recreation as that
which we saw several thousands quietly enjoying in the
Crystal Palace and its beautiful gardens yesterday.
