JEWEL ROBBERY.—A. man named Eranklin was re-
manded yesterday from Clerkenwell police court for
breaking into the shop of Mr. Willis, a goldsmith, Red
Lio a-yard, Clerken well, and stealing therefrom precious
stones to the amount of 6,0001.
LORD LYON'S FLAGSHIP.—A. letter from Admiral
Lord Lyon's flag-ship, the Royal Albert, 121, dated
"Bosphorus, 29th of September," contains the folio ‘y-
ing passage ;—" The steamers are just returning to the
Black Sea Russia not having fulfilled the treaty."
The police in Naples are busy in organising lazzaroni,
and making them ready for action—that is to say, for
plundering. The chief mover in these exertions is the
Queen herself, who constantly urges her royal husband
to rely upon his faithful people, and not to give way to
the demands of those " infernal monsters, commonly
called Napoleon 111. and Viscount Palmerston."
THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER TAY.—The two contra.
dictory messages respecting this steamer are reconciled
by supposing that the statement that the Tay was totally
wrecked was owing to a mistake in conveying the mes-
sage, and that after she went ashore she was got off and
taken back to Tampico. There is some slight hope that
the Tay is not wholly lost.

THE ELECTION FOB THE CLERKENWELL INCUMBENCY.
—The election of an incumbentfor this parish took place
last evening, at the Vestry-hall, Upper Rosoman-atreet;
Mr. Pascall in the chair. After considerable discussion
it was resolved that the mode of taking the votes
adopted on the election of Chairman of the Metropo-
litan Board of Works should be observed. The Roy.
Mr. O'Brien, the Rev. Mr. Ball, and the Rev. Mr.
Lister, were respectively struck off the list, and the con•
test rested between the popular candidates, the Rev.
Mr. M'Guire and the Rev. Mr. Roberts. On the final
show of bands the former was elected by a majority of
15, the numbers being 40 and 25. The election caused
the greatest excitement in the parish, and the result was
received by a large concourse of persons assembled out-
side the hall with loud cheers.
LIMEHoUSE CHURCH,—This very beautiful church is
now nearly restored. A *public meeting was held last
evening to make, it is hoped, the last effor to raise the
sum of 1,5001., being all that is new required to com-
plete it. Mr. Duncan Dunbar presided. The report
was read by Mr. Jobe Dicker, the honorary secretary,
and confirmed. The chairman then rose, and observed
that although he did not belong to the Church of
England, yet he had always felt a warm interest
in the parish. He was born in it, had lived in it many
years, and had made all his money in it. After expa-
tiating on the propriety of giving amply, he concluded
by announcing a subscription of 400 guineas, and at the
same time mentioned that Mr. Henry Green hal offered
a donation of the same amount. The resolutions were
ably spoken to by-Mr. Coroner Baker, Mr. Churchwar-
den Skillett, the Rev. J. Boswell, J. E. Richards, A..).
Ram, Weal', by Messrs. J. Dowson, B. Dixon, and
other Influential gentlemen. Daring the evening the
sum of 7001. was collected, the balance now required
being 8001. After a vote of thanks to, the chairman by
the rector, the Bev. E. R. Jones, the meeting termi-
minated,

It is true that public attention has been drawn to the
Unity General recently, but it is also true that so far as
regards its constitution, its principles, or its resources,
not one word has been uttered or written which denies
to it the possession of elements fir securing great success
as a commercial institution, and consequently conferring
benefits on the public generally. It would indeed be
difficult to show that the Unity General, with its sub-
scribed capital of 347,6001., with its paid-up capital of
86,9001., its proprietary comprising nearly two thousand
persons of great respectability, ramifying throughout the
country, its comprehensive principles, its local boards of
management and agents, extending, as they do, through-
out the United Kingdom and the colonies, its gross
annual premium income of 45,0001., arising from 4,211/.
policies issued in less than sixyears, assuring 1,413,6081.,
can bo seriously affected by an honest quarrel, on a point
of principle only, between the directors and myself.
It would be very wrong indeed to forget, or even to
under rate, the value of these facts connected with the
Unity General. They secure to it a future that will be
perfectly satisfactory to the shareholders, and provide
advantages to assurers of a practical and liberal cha-
racter. The results of the Unity General may safely be
regarded as being of a most cheering character. The
financial resources are ample; the investments are good;
the lives under assurance are selections most ably and
carefully made ; and the business has been obtained

from those parts where experience has proved it to be
of the safest and most eligible description.
The report about to be presented to the shareholders
at the approaching meeting on the 21st October
will disclose more fully the progress of the institutior,
during the past year; therefore I need not now dwell w
any greater length on that subject. I would prefer soli
citing the connections of the Unity Associations to
support the large interests involved. Let them determine
on doing this individually, and I am quite sure that the
business of the Unity General will not only be main-
tained, but that it will be rapidly extended.—l remain,
dear sir, yours very truly,
THOMAS H. BAYLIS, Manager.
P.S.—lt is requested that all communications on the
business of the association may in future be directed to
me at the chief offices, Unity-buildings, Cannon-street.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.--MP. J.
MACGBEGOR, M.P.'s EXPLANATION.

---- -411.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GLASGOW DAILY NEWS.

air,--With respect to the calumnies which have
been charged against me, I need only advert to a
simple narrative of facts. First, I was neither the
proj•ctor nor founder of the British Bank. Mr. Men
zies was the projector. Messrs. Mullens and Paeldi•
son, and Mr. Moxbay, then proprietors of the Com•
mercial Hall, were those who first proposed to me to
become a director, while I was residing at Brighton,
to which place Mr. Mullens, Mr. Menzies, and other.
came to persuade me to assist them to get a charter.
I refused. Afterwards, on the ground that industrious
traders, art,zang, and shopkeepers bad no banking foe •
lilies in London as in Scotland, I very imprudently con
sented to become a director.

Mr. Moxhay died soon after, and the Commercial
Hall, which he proposed should become the property
of the Bank, he taking the value in share-, was
abaud med. Then the premises, occupied previously
by the once great firm of Reid, Irving, and Co., were
taken and fitted up as a banking house. The boird
room was up stairs ; the manager's room and th,
whole business transacted on the ground floor. I
relied implicitly on the manager and Mr. Marne.
They on the weekly board day placed before the
board a statement of the affairs of the Bin): ; and tip
to the time I left the direction I believed everything
correct. ,Neither I, nor any other d rector, as far a'
I am aware, knew anything of any private book,
kept by the manager, nor could I know the perm!
s
in the city whose paper was worthy of being dis-
c motel. Danneller and Scales were represented by
the manager, on the authority of an eminent gentle
man in the Bank of England, as fully trustworthy.
This led to the disastrous advances on their coal and
iron works in Wales, and which, so long as I was a
director, I urged should be realised, instead of at•
tempting to work them. A similar attempt, on the
part of the Bank of England having utterly failed—
a second blunder was, advancing on the security of
Westminster Improvetnent Bonds—a third was, on
the shares of the Islington Cattle Market•—a fburth
was, to a shipowning firm, Oliver of Liverpool. Of
the value of such securities, I could know nothing ;
therefore, I became convinced, but too late, that in
the City of London, as is, I believe, the true and
practicable custom in Glasgow, no one should be a
director of a bank but a city man of business. For
it was, and is, impossible for a purely west-end man to
know who ought, or ought not, to be trusted.
It was under these convictions that I separated
myself from all joint-stock connections. As regards
liabi iies to the Royal British Bank, I deny the
amount of debit, either legally or equitably ; and ter
any legal debit, of which, when I can ascertain the
details—which I cannot for some days—there are
numerous offsets, as transferred new three per cents
in the Bank of England, 1,0001. then at 05i ; 5001
stock at par; other securities, valued each at from
3001. to 4001. ; two valuable life policies, that cep:-
cially of a very old one, in the Law, for 1,0001. to
which several large bonuses have been added. As I
have concluded in haste, I will only add that I will
not shrink before calumny, nor shirk from paying
any just claim that may be proved against me. 1
will not yield to clamour nor injustice.—l am, Sir,
yours most respectfully,

J. MACGREGOR.

Mr. Baker described the many difficulties of the service

The Retribution, 28 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate,
Capt. Charles Barker, left Sheerness at 6 a.m. yesterday,

A party of officers and noblemen—namely, his Excel-
lency Count dell'Alberese, Marquis Sanay de Nerli, Che-
valier Lanzone, Lieut. Silvatici, Commandant de Fresco-
bahli, and Signor Antinori, members of the Government
of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, paid a visit to Woolwich
on Wednesday. They first visited the dockyard, and,
having gone over the floating battery Thunderbolt, and in-
spected the various basins and docks, they proceeded to
the Arsenal, where they spent upwards of three hours.
Yesterday morning three companies of the Royal Artillery
Corps returned to head-quarters from Dover and Dublin,
and draughts from Carlisle and Teigntnouth, were paraded
in front of the barracks at Woolwich, in command of
Colonel Kennedy and Captain and Adjutant Green, of the
14th battalion. At half-past 10 o'c:ock Major-General
Williams and staff rode down the lines, and went through
a careful inspection of the men and their accoutrements.
The General afterwards, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel
Teesdale, his aide-de-camp, and staff, repaired to the su-
s impment at the extremity of Woolwich-common, and
inspected tho field-battery troops, the whole of whom
marched past on their return from morning exercise on
Pluinstead-common.
Colonel Brown, Commandant of the Woolwich division
of Royal Marines, yesterday morning returned to Wool-
wich, at the expiration of a month's leave of absence, and
resumed the command of his division.
The screw steam storeship Hesper, having been hastily
repaired and manned with seamen riggers and supernume-
raries from the Commodore's ship Fisgard, under the com-
mand of Master Mugford, sailed yesterday morning from
Woolwich, for Portsmouth, to embark provisions, for
Madeira and the Cape Verde Isles.
The paddlewheel troopship Dee, Master Pullen com-
manding, arrived at Woolwich on Thursday night from
Portsmouth. •
The transport Rhea Sylvia arrived at Woolwich yester-
day morning with a cargo of medical comforts, fire-engines,
and provisions from the East, which she is to discharge at
the Victoria-docks.
lt appears from an official return of the number of troops
who have been discharged from Chatham garrison since
the reduction which has taken place in the army that
during the quarter ending the 30th of September last
1,238 non-commissioned officers and men left the invalid
establishment. Of this number 789 were discharged from
the service as being altogether unfit for any further mili-
tary duty, and 4-49 convalescents left St. Mary's Barracks
for the purpose of rejoining the depot companies of their
respective regiments in various parts-of the United King-
dom.

Major-General Sir R. Airey, 1i..C.13.; the Quartermas-
ter-General, has directed that no inure invalids are to be
forwarded to the depot at Chatham until after the 17th
inst., that establishment being very crowded. The number
of invalids now stationed there is 1,700.
Thu detachment of the Engineer Corps of the Turkish
Contingent now employed at Chatham garrison, under the
command of Captain Allan, in depositing .the Engineers'
stores brought home from the _Crimea in the Ordnance
stores at the Guu-wharf, have not yet completed this duty,
owing to the vast quantity of war stores to be unshipped
laid deposited, and it is expected that some weeks will
elapse before all the articles are returned into store. The
war materials already placed in the Ordnance stores in-
clude pontoons, waggon trains, and an immense quantity
of trenching tools —sufficient, in fact, for a complete army.

ART TREASURES EXHIBITION, 1857.

Since our last notice the Marquis of Salisbury has ex-
tended his former liberal offer, and placed a more extended
list cf treasures at Hatfield at the disposal of the conk.
iuittee. It is gratifying to find that the labours of the
committee are bringing to light a very. much more exten-
sive collection of the specimens of the great masters of the
very early Italian and German schools than wo were sup-
posed to possess in this country, and that the owners of
these unique and most valuable worki are almost without
exception tendering the choicest of them for the use of th•
exhibition. In accordance with the liberality of Prince
Albert in placing the whole of his collection of early pic-
tures at the disposal of the committee, Mr. Davenport
Bromley, among others, promises some pictures of remark-
able value and rarity, including a Cosimo Roielli, a Vic.
c3nzo Pagani, a Bagna Corvallo, a Girolarao Cotignola,
and an Innocence da Imola. Mr. Fuller Maitland con-
tributes the greater portion of a somewhat long list of
pictures which were selected from his collection. It

includes a Byzantine picture, representing the death
of St. Ephraim Lyrus, a Taddo Gaddi (small altar-
piece), au Angelico da Fiesole (Entombment of the
Virgin), a Fra Fillippo Lippi small imciella pic-
ture), a Cosimo Roselli (large altar-piece), a F. Gra-
nacci (Virgin Enthroned), a Sano di Pietro (St. Peter re-
storing Tabitha), and a Sandie Botticelli (Adoration of
the Kings). Mr. Beresford Hope offers a remarkably fine
picture by Vandyck, among others one from the King of
Holland ; and also volunteers to the committee a large oil
painting by the modern German artist, Overbeck. Mr.
Joseph Henry Green, late Professor of Anatomy of the
Royal Academy in London, offers to contribute a singu-
larly.interesting selection of pictures, including some of
the very early schools —a Quintin Matsys as well as two
fine specimens of modern art by Stothard and Dyce. Since
the preparations for the Exhibition commenced there has
been scarcely any more remarkable example of a desire to
do everything to further the object in view than has been
evinced by the Earl of Warwick, UM Earl of Darnley,
Earl Craven, Mr. Smith Barry, of Marbury-hall, Cheshire,
and Mr. T. ,Well Blundell, of Ince, near Liverpool. To
each of these noblemen and gentlemen applications were
made by the committee, framed in accordance with the
generally known records of their valuable collections. In
such instances the full list of works thus asked for have
been roost liberally granted, anti accompanidil by an inti-
mation that in the judgment of their owners there were
other specimens in their co:iections which would add at-
traction and interest to the Exhibition.
