The Britieh and American Eschango Banking Corporation (li mited: is formed for the purpose chiefly of dealing in exchange•—• business which, tempting with British po mrfo has hitherto been mainly in the hands of private fi rms and it le well known that with many countries such banking facilities have not been afforded to merchants and others as the vastly extended com merce of the present day demands. This Is particularly the case In the trade between England and America, and BM proposed that this Corporation shall commence its operations by the estab lishment Oen agency in New York. The profitable nature of Exchange business is well known, especially that with the American States, and although the profit is at present, greater than can be calculated upon in ordinary years, there is generally a much larger margin than is usually found remunerative by bankers. The purchese sad sale on comas sins of securities In New York and London, the dealings in which amount annually to many millions sterling, and the re. mittances of interest and dividends, will afford other sources of Dr ofit The practice now become very general of attaching bills of lading to Who of exchange as collateral security, renders ex change op. rations more than usually safe, whilst the shipment of gold involves scarcely any risk whatever. The shipments of produce end specie from New York alone for the past year have amounted to nearly forty millions staling. and the average of several years bee not been much less. There is thus a very extended field for the operations of the corpo ration, and the faculties which it will afford, both in W s coestay and America, must tend to promote, and still further to extend, the oommerclal and monetary transactions between the two eountriea The same remarks are applicable to other places In which the establishment of 'gamin is ountemplated. A large bllßitleil Is also anticipated betwixt America and the ports in India and China, which will be carried oat in co ope ration with the Oriental Bank Corporation. Ihe success of Joint-Stock Banks dealing In Exchange is evi denced by the present quotations of the shares of the under mentioned Companies: and it is somewhat remarkable that the Joint-toot has not yet been adopted In the American trade, then pretenting a wider Mild for its progtable operation than any of er part of the world.

TURIN, JAIL 7, Rvrernio. The Stampa of to-day denies and qualifies as a calumny the assertion made by La Prance that General Lamarmora had tendered his resignation in order to avoid having anything to do with the ()m -inimum appointed to inquire into the causes of the brigandage in the Neapolitan provinces. The same journal also denies the statement that the Italian Emancipation Societies had been recon stituted, and says :—"Nothing has taken place but some preliminary meetings of the chiefs of the party of action. Should, however, serious efforts be made for the re-constitution of these societies, the government will act according to the provisions of the decree whereby they were dissolved." Telegrams received here from Naples state that her Majesty's ship St. George, with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred en board, had returned to that port. Au encounter has taken place near Bari between the mounted National Guard and a body of brigands. Twenty of the latter were killed. The transmission of this telegram from Turin has ooca• pied 42 hours. REACTIONARY CONSPIRACY= IN NAPLES. NAPLES, JAN. L The police have seized the oornispoodence of some Bourbon conspirators residing at Rome, rela tive to the organization of reactionary committees in the Southern provinces. It appears from this correspondence that the regulations of these committees were presented by the Dukes of Popoli and Dellaregina to the ex. King of Naples, and received his approval. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. (FROM OUR EIPICIALL NANCHEETER, JAZ. 9. The weekly returns of the Manchester and Salford Sanitary Association contain a table of all new cases of disease coming under treatment in the poor-law districts, charitable and public institutions of the city and its neighbourhood. With the exception of a part of Salford, the medical officers of which decline, for some reason unknown to me, to give the requisite information, this table is An accurate statement of the sanitary condition of the people. And on contrasting the last two months of 1862 with the last two months of 1861, the comparative healthiness of the former again comes to view. For it must not be forgotten that the area of observation and record is this year indefinitely extended, as thousands who have hitherto paid for medical aid themselves are now dependent upon the parish offioers or upon the various hospitals and dispensaries. In November, 1862, there are reported 307 new cases of fever ; in November, 1861, 312. In December, 1862, this number is reduced to 193,; the corresponding number to which in December, 1861, is 190. In the first week of December the officers of the Sanitary Association— perhaps prescient of the coming report—requested their correspondents to separate from the general category of " continued fever" all cases which might be justly classified as " typhus." The num ber of cases of typhus, to which public attention has been thus directed, during a period of three weeks, amounts to six—an !epidemic (if epidemic it be) of Lilliputian dimensions. When we recol lect the vast population of Manchester, and the maaa of squalid wretchedness which at all times it almost necessarily hides in its close courts and fetid alleys, the wonder is that at a season like this infec tious diseases should have been restrained within such narrow bounds. From Preston I have received, after some in quiry, only incomplete returns, which do not take into account cases which have occurred in the workhouse. According to the statement of my correspondent the chief incidence of the disease was in November, when 109 cases, involving no fewer than 27 deaths, are reported. This alarming state of things was considerably modified in December, when the cases had fallen to 38, and the deaths to 9—probably in consequence of the larger,provision for the physical wants of the people to which I have alluded. An increase appears to have again taken 'place in the first week of the new year, the cases reported up to Jan. 7 being 15. Still I think there is fair reason for congratulation that in so large a town, with a population depressed in health and hope by an early and severe pres sure of distress, and where the disease made its appearance, in sporadic cases, as long ago as last September, the epidemic should not before now have assumed much more formidable proportions. I have thus stated, as accurately as I know how, what I believe to be the facts as to Manchester and Preston, concealing nothing, and exaggerating ' nothing. I have no theory to establish ;my sole wish is that the public—both in Lancashire and elsewhere—should be made acquainted with the exact state of the case. Granting the worst in re gard to the two towns above mentioned, it must be a subject of congratulation to all who have charged themselves with the administration of re lief, that nothing like famine fever has broken out in any other of the many towns which are weighed upon by an equal pressure of distress The facts, such as they are, appear to me to point to the advisability, not so much of an increased rate of relief, as of a careful medical super vision of every district, and a special provision for the wants of the sick. In every pier* let competent observers be upon the watch for the first symptoms of a danger, which, thank God, has not broken upon us yet. Let such sick-kitchens as have proved themselves of incalculable service at Preston and at Hyde be established in every town ; many an in cipient ailment will be checked in its progress to wares a graver phase, many a case of imperfect nu trition will be hindered from development into fever, by assistance which more than one lady who is now eagerly seeking for au opportunity of kind ness can effectually and happily render. But a general rise in the rate of relief, founded upon the idea that the vitality of the population is low, and ready to succumb to the first attack of epi demic disease, would be fraught with almost un mitigated evil. The difficulties in the way of a resumption of work are already sufficiently great sad numerous, without the interposition of an other. Perhaps, however, the accusations against Lancashire relief, which came from opposite aides, may fairly be taken to answer each other. If the people are kept in such a condition of luxurious comfort that they cannot be enticed from the relief board to the factory, all the ghastly picture of hag. gard eyes, and wan face*, and wasted forms, and the advancing spectre of pestilence, is surely no [TWOPENCE more stable than a dissolving view, which was called up at the showman's wand, and at the same bidding will fade away. Such would be a fair rhetorical argument : a more judicial procedure would be to take the mean between the eontradictory extremes. There is un doubtedly much privation, a large loss of accustomed comfort, especially among those whose standard of comfort was once the highest, and who are now too proud to be importunate and successful beggars. But I still hold to my belief that few have yet wanted necessary food ; that " famine" is a word which can be applied to the condition of things in Lancashire only by rhetorical license, and that by God's providence, and the help of good Christians all the world over, we are yet safe from the mere fearful danger of pestilence.

Braemar IN nouns—At the Worship- street policarcourt, yesterday, Lewis Bennett, otherwise known as Deerfoot, the pedestrim, was charged with a violent assault upon W. Byre, otherwise known as W. Preston. The alleged assault occurred at the White Lion public house, at Hackney Wick, sod arose out of a dispute in oponectioo with a foot race which took place there on the '29th of December. The complainant's counsel, in opening the case, stated that the defendant was said to be a North American Indian, but whether really so or ea Englishman, or " any other man," he must be taught that acts of violence could not be committed with impunity. He hoped that the case would he sent for trial. The magistrate infliMed, however, a DIM of its. and costa, or fourteen days' impriamment. A case arising out of the same dispute, and in which W.

Eighteen months before his death the late Car dinal Morlot added the following lines to his will : " In terminating this act, in which my last wishes are comprised, I humbly ask pardon of God and my fellow. men for the faults which I may have committed against them in the course of my life and my long career as a bishop. This weer I hope to quit as soon as possible, and I ask of God this mos from the desire to render the ter rible account which will soon be demanded of me, and of disposing myself to do so more seriously than I have hitherto done. If I can truly declare that I have never sought nor dee;red any of the divers functions which I have filled, and if I can say with all sincerity that I have held them! with out any illusion, I am not the less bound to admit that In no reaped had I anything that could justify the choice and the preference of which I have been the object." He says further on that he had saved no money ; that he never had the slightest inclination that way, and that, even were he so inclined, the liabilities attached to his functions would not have allowed him to do so. It is certain, even without this declaration, that the prelate, who was at once Cardinal Archbishop of Pans, senator, and grand almoner of the Emperor, died poor—so poor that the expenses of his funeral have to be defrayed by the state. A Paris letter in the Inds pendant says :—" The subscription in favour of the cotton workmen in Frame has not bad the success which was to be drink!. MM. Pereira, touched with the position of that branch of industry, have written a letter to the Emperor, proposing another mode of assistance, more efficacious and more moral. Those gentlemen propose that a loan of 15,000,000 franca should be made to the unemployed workmen, cm easy condition both as regards Intelsat and facilities of reimbursement, offering to subscribe themselves for the sum of 2,000,000 francs. The prefect of the Seine- Infirieure, being consulted by the government upon that project, replied that it appeared to him impracticable." A letter from Berlin states that the numerous manufactories of cotton in that city are suffering severely from the scarcity of the raw material. A number of them are completely at a stead, and others have discharged a peat port of their bands. At least 6,000 of those weavers are now oct of employment in the Prussian capital. The Theatre of the Op4ra Comique, Paria, has during the first five days of this month realised the enor mous reosiptm of 30,013 fr., or 6,000 fr. per night. Thin sum hem Dever yet been attained in eo short • time, no that the new administration cannot complain. • Di Augier'e new drama Le Fits de Gliboyer was samonneed for performanoe some evenings mace at the theatre of Anton (Saone-et-Loire), and as it was expected that opposing parties would make it an occasion of disorder, the gendarmery and police attended in considerable force. The actors were saluted with applause from the pit and hisses from other parts of the house. The commissary of police sad the mayor exerted themselves to restore order, but in vain, for after a momentary calm the hissing recom menced and continued to the end of the piece, so that it was impossible to bear a word. To prevent a recurrence of a similar scene, the piece has been withdrawn by order of the authorities. The question has been raised at Paris of adopting repressive measures against poachers. The other day a gendarme discovered, on a haprick, in the environs of Paris, an immense net, called by poachers a "shroud," and with it, as a convincing proof of the ravages of that formidable engine, 132 partridges. A net of this description is valued at I,ooofr. to 1,200 fr., but the profits arising from it must be enormous, for with It all the game mu be swept off • plain in one night. PRUSSIA. The %nut Zeitung (the feudal journal) of Berlin, M a programme for 1863, says : The situation is favourable, and the victory certain if the King's language is followed by energetic acts. It was only in 1813 that the struggle against Bonaparte commenced; with the year 1863, fifty years after, commences the struggle against democracy for the liberation of Prussia and of Germany. The recoastitution of the country and of royalty upon their former bases-such are the object and the prize of the present contest. Weakness above has produced disorder below. It is from above that the present situa tion has proceeded ; and it is from above that the conser vative dements must be reorganised, for they are too weak to reorganise themselves. If the government and its partisans were united by a reciprocal confidence the former would not grant ►n electoral law, but would govern in con. formity with the constitution ; it would consider the bud get as the principal affair, would effect of itself all the re trenchments possible, and would each year consider how far the chapters of the budget might be specialised with out risking the treader to the Chamber of Deputies of the power which is necessary to the crown.

Tea Underground Railway, to use a slang phrase of the day, may now be called a great fact, and may take its place as the subject for a hun dred gushing leaders. Like all new undertakings —from the Thames Tunnel to the Great Eastern —it will be looked upon, for a time, as the one reformer of the hour. It will be credited with a power of performing wonders which it is never likely to possess, and will doubtless encou rage the birth of many followers and imitators. The days of want of faith in railways have long since passed, and superstitious belief has now taken the place of coaching scepticism. The Under ground Railway is the newest enterprise of its kind ; it is the one which creeps most closely to our door-steps, and it will therefore doubtless be the one which will meet with the most favour and attention. For twenty or five and twenty years the travelling MAHOMIT has been content to go to the railway mountain, and now the railway moun tain is straggling to come to the travelling Mansur. The travelling Msnourr can hardly feel otherwise than flattered. It is his duty, at any rate, to thank the railway shareholders for their politeness and benevolence, and to ask no troublesome questions about vulgar dividends. The great work which the Underground Rail way is expected to perform is the relief of the City traffic. It is expected to cut that Gordian knot of vehicles and passengers which causes police men to be tyrannical and Common Councilmen to make themselves ridiculous. What capacities it has at present for performing this gigantic task are not easily perceived by the impartial observer. At Holborn-hill it threatens to become a feeder of the City traffic, instead of a re liever. It will deliver goods and passengers on the borders of the crowd, but it will hardly deliver the City from its pressing difficulty. It may ease certain broad thoroughfares in the out skirts, which were never troubled with an emcees of traffic, bat it will leave the fifty great feeding ar teries of the City almost as choked as they were before its coming. It may have & little influence at Holborn-bars, but what it draws from that point it will only pour out again at Victoria-street. When its extension is finished to Finsbury-circus —another railway of the future—Newgate-street may have just cause to bless its existence, but at present Newgate-street stands a chance of being more blocked than ever by contributions to and from its terminus. Al the fist creeping arm thrown out towards a general centralization of all railways, it may be welcomed or not, according to the way of looking at it, but some time must elapse before it can be fairly admired as a City traffic reformer. As a junction line to the great Northern and Western railways it has not even done its work thoroughly and welL It has started from the Great Western, and has picked up the Great Northern in its course, but it has passed by a rail way of equal importance at Easton-square—the London and North Western. It is not for us to enter into or give publicityto the reasons assigned on both ides for this palpable omission :—it is sufficient to refer to the fact when the Underground Rail way is praised as a collector of all the heavy traffic from the north and west of England. The construction of the Underground Railway is a matter which we may safely leave to profes sional critics, after expressing a belief, drawn from personal observation, that the engineer and the contractors have done their work well and honestly. They have had great difficulties to contend with, which they knew of before they turned a sod, and, fed with unlimited supplies of capital, they have overcome these difficulties. Backed by the Great Western's shareholders and influence, by the Great Northern's shareholders and influence, and the Corporation of the City of London, who are anxious to turn to profitable account the slimy desert of Victoria-street, their success was certain. Money, as we have before said, can do anything, and a million and a quarter sterling, if we are rightly informed, has built the Underground Railway. Much time, which is also money, has been consumed in the task, but the task, up to a certain point, is finished. The tunnelling of the Underground Railway is not longer, or more impressive, than other railway tunnelling, but it is imbedded in different soil. There is the three-mile tunnel on the Manchester and Sheffield line, there is the celebrated Box tunnel on the Great Western Railway, built by an engineer who generally sacrificed capital for scientific display, and there is the Kilsby tunnel on the North Western Railway. All these works differ materially from tunnels which have to be bored through a London street, between gas pipes, water pipes, sewers, and telegraphic wires, like the tunnels of the Underground Railway. In their difficulties of construction they more re semble the Thames Tunnel, though we sincerely hope that they will never become such a laughing stock for posterity. The Underground Railway deserves credit for one thing. Though it has been a nuisance for years while in process of formation, it has cleared up its litter, and has left no permanent eyesore I above ground. All its merits and its faults lie buried in the London clay and gravel ; and in this it forms a worthy contrast to the works of other companies. Telegraphic enterprise, in particular, is a glaring offender in this respect, having covered our not very picturesque town with a web of tight-ropes and wire clothes-lines. Underground ingenuity may surely do something for us here, and relieve us from such a terrible infliction in the name of utility. The Underground Railway is already promised several imitations in various parts of London. A railway is planned from Leicester-square to Kensington ; and those dripping wells of Wapping and Rotherhithe, and that damp fragment of a cavernous fair, which together go by the name of the Thames Tunnel, are threatened with utiliza tion as an under-water railway. These are only two out of the many similar projects which will doubtless be brought before Parliament for its sanction, and against which one or two indigna tion meetings have been held by frightened trades people. If present public convenience is made to give way for future public benefit, let us hope that the projectors will be merciful. They will neither be backed with the capital nor the influence which supports the present Underground Railway ; and for their own sakes, therefore, we trust they will make short work of their disagreeable task, and save their shareholders, and the inhabitants near their lines, from all unnecessary suffering. OPENING Or THE FRENCH CHILMBERS.—The Monittur of yesterday announces that the French Emperor will open in person the legislative session of 1863 in the grand hall of the Louvre on Monday next, the 12th inst., and that he will receive the oaths of those members who have not yet taken them. The ceremony is to begin at one o'clock precisely, and every one present is to be seated by a quarter past 12 at the latest. LATEST INTFILIGENOE. POLAND. The Czas of Warsaw eaya : Out of the 66 persons tried by the military tribunal three have been declared not guilty, and it has alio demanded of the Grand Duke the liberation of nine others. That request has been acceded to, and 12 innocent persons have just left the prison.

Another of the prisoners complained that no ►ttention bad been paid to his demand when he called for the evidence of a vanes. It is proved that the oom mittee of inquiry attributed to the accused replies which they never made, and presented them as voluntary admis sions. A SINGULAR ROMANCE. (nom OUR °yrs onaseromarr.) PARIS, FRIDAY Emma. M. de Villemessant, the editor of the Figaro, some time since informed his readers that he was the illegitimate son of an unmarried lady of noble family whose name he bore ; that out of filial respect for his mother's memory he had long withheld the legal evidence of bis parentage, but that being harraseed and persecuted by some of his mother's relations, represented by them as an impostor, and actually prosecuted by them in a court of law for bearing a name to which they alleged he bad no right, he felt it his duty to his children to lay aside the scruples which bad so long restrained him, and, at a painful sacrifice of feeling, to lay the whole case before the world and the tribunals of the country. The facts thus alluded to came out very fully on January 6, before the civil tribunal of Blois, and they con stitute a very singular romance. The case exc►tes intense local interest, and in the crowded court were to be seen many members of the oldest and most wealthy families in the department, who had known M. de Villemessant from his infancy, and among whom the circum stances of his birth were matter of notoriety. The Count de Beaucorps de Crdquy, Madame de Bou vale, and M. de Clinchamp were among the wit nesses for K de Villemessant. The present action, which arises out of one pend ing before the courts of Paris, is in the form of a demand for a judicial declaration that the plaintiff is in reality the natural son of the late Mademoi selle Louise Ren6e-Francoise de Launay de Villemessant, who was the daughter of Philippe Delannay de Villemessant, one of the body-guards of Louis XVL, by his wife Louise Ran& Hurault de Saint Denis. This form of action is, in the lan guage of the code, styled recherche de la makrnit4 t which is permitted, while, on the contrary, recherche de fa paterniti—inquiry as to the paternity of an illegitimate child—is prohibited by an express article. M. Lachaud, counsel for M. de Villemessant, stated, in substance, that the mother of his client, a lady of excellent family in Tonraine, was unfor tunately seduced by a Colonel Cartier, whom she accompanied throughout Europe in the wars of the Empire, in which he greatly distinguished himself. By him she bad two children, the plaintiff, born at Rouen in 1810, and a girl named Isoline, now de emed. After her elopement she bore the name of Cartier, and that name was habi tually given to her children during their infancy. Nevertheless, when the present plaintiff at the age of 16 went through the catholic ceremony of the first communion, he was described by his name of De Villemessant, which was then re cognised both by his mother and grandmother. A certificate of his birth at Rouen, in which he was described as the son of Mdlle. de Villemessant, was also among the proofs. That he was the son of Mdlle de Villemeasant was notorious in Blois, where he was known and liked as a dare-devil boy, and where, to all those who knew his mother, the striking likeness spoke for itself. The only diffi culty in the me was that at the age of 21 M. de Villemesaant fell in love and married without his mother's consent. On that occasion, in order to evade the law, he procured an "act of notoriety." in which he was described by the name of Cartier, and as having been born in Poland of " parents unknown." Soon after the marriage his mother forgave him, and he lived on terms of affection with her until her death, which happened in a most tragical way in 1847. Colonel Cartier had then been long dead, and she, having lost a law suit in which the whole of her expected fortune was involved, was living in Paris in great poverty. M. de Villemessant, himself poor at that time, had helped his mother to the best of his ability, and one of the proofs of her acknowledgment of him as her son was a bill in her favour drawn by him, and endorsed by her. However, in 1847 Mdlle. deVille measant and her daughter Isoline committed suicide together, leaving letters in which they de sired that their little furniture in their lodging at Montmartre might be given to the plaintiff. Ever since that time the name of De Villemessant had been borne by the plaintiff without dispute. But very lately K Casein and Mme. Vezien, the legiti mate nephew and niece of his mother, brought an action against him in Paris, in which they alleged that hie only real name was Cartier, and that he had no right to bear the family name of M. deVille messant. In answer to this action, the plaintiff, not wishing to brand the memory of his mother, contented himself with pleading the notoriety of his name of M. de Villemessant. The tribunal of Paris, however, held that in the face of the "act of notoriety" obtained by himself on the occasion of his marriage, the evidence of contrary notoriety was not sufficient, and it accordingly granted an injunction against his using the name of De Villemessant. M. de Villemessant appealed, and the court of appeal being informed of the ac tion to establish his parentage, which he had at length decided to bring at Blois, adjourned the case for three months to await the result of that action. M. Lachaud now submitted that the proof as to the matter of fact was clear as noon-day. His adversaries, in fact, ad mitted this by declining to argue the case on the merits, and confining themselves to taking objection to the jurisdiction. He argued at great length a point of law which is in reality the only substantial question in dispute, i.e., whether the various letters and certificates produced con stitute such a "commencement of proof in wilting" as is required by the code to sustain an action of this kind. The case stands over for a week, when the public minister will be heard. The motive of N. de Villemessant's opponents, as stated by M. Lathaud, is simply to extort money. He had lent them considerable sums from time to time, they always writing to him as "My dear I oonsin," and it was only when his patience was tired out that they threatened to force him either to drop his name or to brand the memory of his mother. The Bank of France returns show, aa was anti cipated, a considerable decline in the stock of bul lion. The increase in the discount department, which, under ordinary circumstances, betokens activity in trade, cannot be thus construed in the present instance, because, as I am informed, the greater part of the augmentation is attributable to the discount of treasury bills necessitated by re mittances to Mexico. I further learn that imme diately after M. Fould's statement that the cost of the Mexican expedition was 83,000,000, further drafts wefts received to the extent of 22,000,000 more. According to some estimates the real ex penditure up to the present time is not less than 220,000,000. The Bourse was heavy to-day in consequent* of the comments made upon the Bank returns. I am enabled to state that the paragraph which has gone the round of the papers, representing that Mr. Dayton, the American minister, had discussed with the Emperor the project of an armistice in America, is essentially untrue. I have just heard that the Cowries du Disnanthe has received a warning for last Sunday's article, by M. Prevost Paradol, suggesting reforms in the working of universal suffrage. I donot know thepre ciae grounds of the warning, but I believe one of them is that M. Paradol objects to printed bulletins, which are thrust by government agents into the hands of ignor►nt people, who think they are bound to use them, and that every elector should be bound to prove his intelligence and real will by writing the name of the candidate of his choice. I can well conceive that this proposal to limit the suffrage to people who can read and write may be plausibly construed as a csae of flat blasphemy against that universal suffrage which, as at present organised, can never by any possibility fail to echo the commands of the executive power.

THE WAR IN CHINA. The Secretary of State for War has received a despatch and ita enclosures, addresaed to him by Brigadier-General Staveley, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's troops in China, of which the following copies are pubhahed in yesterday's Gazette : Headquarters, near Bah-ding, Oct. 21, 1862. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your information that the Chinese authorities having expressed their willing ness to plea a garrison in Kah-ding, if the allied forces would recapture it for them, the place was taken by storm after a bombardment of two hours, this morning, by the force under my immediate command, mentioned in the accompanying return marked (A), as well as the British naval forte under Captain Daiwa, CB., and the French troops, placed respectively at my disponi by Via-Ad• mind Sir James Hops and Captain Fanottn, command ing his Imperial Majesty's forces in China, also the lo cated Ward's force, under the command of an American (Colonel Burgoviene), and Lieutenant Kingsley's 67th Regiment, battalion of 500 Chinese, and six mortars worked by Chinese, under Lieutenant Cane, ILA., all detailed in return marked (A). The guns and mortars were got into position during the night, and opened fire so soon u the walls could be seen. At 8 o'clock, two practicable breaches having been made, the French and British each established their bridges, the British under the direction of Lieutenant Knevitt, &N., and Lieutenant Lyeter, R.E., the storming parties of the 31st and 67th Regiments, under the command of Captain Christian, 31st Regiment., then planted their ladders and entered the place without opposition, the enemy escaping by the opposite aide of the city. The place had been considerably strengthened since our last visit, by au outwork made to flank the walls, and protected by a sort of bomb-proof, which, however, waa not proof against 8-inch mortar shells. I gave over the place to Colonel Bur goviene and his men, and, except the storming parties, none of her Majesty's naval or military forces were allowed to enter it. The re-capture of Kah-ding completes the radius oflthirty miles round Shasghae, which it was decided should be cleared of the Tai-ping rebels. I trust that the excellent conduct, of the troops under very tempting circum stances, and the very arduous nature of the service, will be favourably considered. 1 wish to mention for favourable notice, Captain C. Gordon, commanding Royal Engineers ; Captain Mansergh, Deputy Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Captain Gammsll, Deputy Assittant-Quartermaster-Gen. ; Dr. Rennie, 31st Regiment, Senior Medical Officer ; Assis tant Commissary-General Thompson, in charge of Commis miseariat ; lieutenant Jebb, 31st Regiment; and the Prince Witgeostein, of the Ist Prussian Lancer Guard Regiment, who acted as my Aides-de-Camp. I take this opportunity of recording the greet assistance I hate invariably received on the 'occasions of the various expeditions from Mr. Consul Medhurst, and Mr. C. Ala baster, of the consular service. I also wish to manila, the services performed by Commander Strode, of her Majesty's ship Vulcan, who was employed during the whole of the operations against the Tai-pings, and whose name was in advertently omitted in my recommendatory despatch ; also of hie first lieutenant, Lieutenant Grant.

THE POPE'S SPEECH.—A correspondent of the Tempe, ins letter from Rome dated the 3rd instant, states that the reception of the French officers at the Vatican on New Year's Day was so unusually solemn that of itself it indicated a radial change in the diplomatic relations with France. The Pope, be adds, had a very animated and smiling aspect, and seemed in excellent health. His speech was is French, and appeared to have been learnt by heart, although " here and there some few extempore words" escaped him. It is perhaps owing to this circum stance that two different versions of the speech have been published in the Paris journals. The Bade of yesterday places several peruses from these two versions aide by side, and point. out bow very much more energetic the Pope is made to speak in the columns of the Union than in those of the Moniteur. In one paper oc curs the phrase, "Why cannot I also bless my enemies!' In the other this is given as, " Why cannot I also bias the impious r The discrepancy between other passages is even more marked. The Temp. of yesterday, in comment ing upon the .peoch,says :—" Pins IN. blessed the Emperor, the Empress, the Prince Imperial, and the French army. He regretted he could not also bless his enemies. We were not aware that the gospel forbade him to do so." " We are informed," says the C'entstitutionnel, " that the Superior Council of Commerce, Agriculture, and Ilsnrdacture has been called on by the French government to examine the sugar question in all its bearings, both u regards internal consumption and the regime of exportation and maritime interests." His Honour Sir William Foster St•well, Knight, slake justice of the Supreme Court at Melbourne, lies appointed Mr. William Barr, of Beighley, Yorkshire, soli citor, • commissioner to take and remise affidavits in Engbutil to be need in the Supreme Court at Judicature of the colony of Victoria. . . . Among the new companies (says the Atheneum) one of a most novel and curious nature is talked of. The object is to construct a gigantic reflecting telescope of far greater dimensions th,,n Lord Itore's celebrated six-feet reflector, with which it is expected wonderful planetary sights will be revealed. "We hope, if such an instrument be constructed, that it will be erected where the atmo- sphere is clear ; for, as we well know, Lord Itosee's splendid telescope is sully out of place in the very misty atmosphere of Ireland." The honorary secretary of the Central Relief Pond has received an intim►tion from the Mersey Dock Board, that any vessel with food for the Lancashire opera. tives "shall have the full Odle of the docks of the company, free of all dock rates and charges." This resolution was unanimously adopted, and it was also agreed "that so rates shall be charged on any food or other article imported directly for the same objects." The total receipts of the Central Fund yesterday amounted to shove 10,0001. About 140 boxes, saved from the wreck of the Colombo, will, it is expected, arrive by the seat homeward Australian packet, due next week.

Admiralty instructions haveleinireo — ervedai the dockyard directing a shot-proof turret to be erected on the upper or lighting deck of the Royal Oak, 80, 800-horse power, iron-cued steamer, for the protection of the cap tain d uring an engagement. The turret will accommodate one person, and it will be encased in armour-plating of the same thickness as that on the exterior of the Royal Oak. It is probable that the Royal Oak will be shortly commis sioned, and a certain number of her °SOWS eppointed, in order that the work remaining to be accomplished on board in the way of preparing the frigate for sea may be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The subjoined (says the Army and Navy Gazette) are the names of those Trawls which either an on their way to England, or have been ordered home, viz.: —Hecate, Fawn, Pioneer, ImpErisuais, Odin, Scoot, Pearl, Encounter, Centaur, Sphinx, Renard, Blandon, Snake, Vulcan, Clio, Wye, London, Man, and Melpomene. The Beagle is ordered to be put out of commission at Hoag Bonn, Pas to be available on the spot if her services should be required. PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE ARMY.—WO sincerely regret to have to refer to • case of " practical joking" which lately occurred in the 18th Human, and which formed the subject of • court of inquiry. Anything less jocose and more stupid and ungentlmmilike than the pro ceedings conventioasily clawed under this heed cannot well be conceived. Gutting the room of an unpopular member of a regiment is an act more befitting the undergraduate career of a " ticket of leave," than that of a gentleman's son ; and in the present instance the nn-resentful character of the victim took away from the outrage even the element of pluck which is sometimes held to palliate such freaks. Schoolboys, not to speak of those grown to man's estate, have long mince eschewed this kind of boisterous mis chief. We are glad to find that his royal highness the field-marshal commanding-in-chief promptly took up the cue in the 18th Hussars, and when it was proved, at once sent down the deputy-adjutant-general to Hounslow, who read a severe lecture to the offenders, and announced that their leave was stopped and their promotion affected by their transgressions. As some impression to the coatrary appears to prevail, we feel bound to state that the culprits at once bowed to their sentence, and accepted it in • spirit which leads WI to hope we shall bear no more of these vul gar eccentricitiel l —Aresy zed Navy Gazette. REDUCTION OF THE NAVY. An examination of the Nary List would seem to justify the conclusion that the Admiralty intend to make a considerable diminution in the estimate of expenses for sea. going ships. No leas than sixteen vessels have been paid out of commission during the past quarter, including five line-of-battle ships. This is au unusual number to be dismantled in one quarter; but in addition to those already enumerated, there are no less than 17 under orders to return to England, allot which will in all probability, be paid out of commission on their arrival, their term of service having expired. To supply the vacancies of the 33 ships paid off or under orders to return home, there have been only seven commis sioned during the past quarter. Of these, two are merely store and receiving ships, and cannot, therefore, be accounted effective men-of-war. It is very clear, also, that daring the ensuing quarter no material addition will be made to the numerical strength of the navy. At Portsmouth there are at present only three ships under orders to be brought forward for speedy commission, namely, the Frederick William, 82, the Curacco, 31, and the Eak, 21, although the harbour is crowded with ships to reserve, the majority of them being in the second, third, and fourth classes. It wall be observed that most of the homeward bound ships are from the East India and China Station.— , Fran the Hampshire Telegraph of to-day. THE AMERICAN MINISTER AND THE MAN CHESTER ADDRESS TO PRESIDENT LIN• COLN. _ _ The working men's address to President Lincoln was beautifully isegromed on vellum, and placed in • neat morocco case, gilt lettered. On New Year's night • special messenger, Mr. T. H. Barker, proceeded to Laden, and on Friday morning placed the documents in the hands of the United States minister, the Hon. Charles Frame's Adams, to be forwarded by Saturday's steamer to President Lincoln. Mr. Adams received the messenger very coltrteously, and kindly said that nothing could give him greater pleasure than to have such an address to forward to the President under present circumstance', coming as it did from the heart of the manufacturing districts, and when the people were now suffering so much through the sad state of matters in America. He was sure that Mr. Lincoln would very highly estimate such an expression; and that its influence would tend very much to soften any bard feelings that might have been engendered during the conflict, through misconception on either side of the Atlantic. Mr. Adams, in reply to • direct question from Mr. Barker, said that he did not think that the President, whatever the pressure brought to bear upon him by adverse parties and interests, would shrink from upholding his proclamation ot emancipation of the slaves of the rebellious states. Hs could not see how the President could recede from the pcsi. tion he had taken up, and he sincerely hoped and believed that he would remain lira. With the address a note from the chairman of the Free-trade Hall meeting was handed to Mr. Adams, and we append the reply of the United Stales minister " London, Jan. 2. "Dear Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re. caption of your note, dated yesterday. together with the address to the President of the United States, of a publio meeting held in Manchester, over which you presided. Both of these papers were put into my hands this morning by Mr. Barker, the gentleman who had them in charge. I shall take the greatest pleasure in forwarding at once the address to the President. Permit me to add the expres sion of my own conviction that nothing will be more cheer. cog to him in the severe trials through which he is now passing, than the sympathy and encouragement of inch,. pendent and disinterested witnesses all over the world. and most especially such • manifestation as this, coming as it does from the very heart of the population of this king dom, and that the most deeply affected in its interests by the unfortunate strife in America, must not only move him strongly to persevere in the policy to which be has pledged himself, but cannot fail to rouse the generous enthusiasm of all true friends of freedom in the United States. I bail the occasion as one likely to do much to cement the friendly relations between the two countries, which • common in. Greet in the great principles of civil and political liberty should always keep united.—l have the honour to be your obedient servant, "Cuaacre FRANCIS ADAMS. " Abel Heywood, Fag., Chairman, Manchester." The Era remarks :—" The visit, on Monday evening, of the Prince of Wales to the Haymarket Theatre will be, we hope, but the precnreor of many such extensions of royal patronage through the approaching sesmon.

He owes to unsecured creditors 9,03 d. ;liabilities, 16,0061. Against these the creditors hold bills or bonds given by the bankrupt on some property which he expected to become possessed of. It is rid that some of the creditors have taken proceedings in the courts of Scotland, where the property es situate, with a view to enforce payment of their bills or bonds ; bat the trustees under the will of the bankrupt's father defended the actions, on the ground that the bankrupt's rights were forfeited by his iosolveocy ; and the Scotch courts' held that the creditors were not entitled to recover. Mr. Nicholson opposed for Mr. Tozer, Mr. Taylor, and other creditors. . . . . . . . ia - nkrupt,;xamioed, said he was insolvent in 1853; hie debts were then 14,5001. His expenditure had been 2,5001. a year for the last two years, u near as he could tell. He had no income but expectation. He believed he should come into a large estate under his father's will at the age of thirty. He was not certain of it. He was now prat 30. He expected to come into possession still. He had purchased nos horses of Mr. Wane, but had not them now. Mr. Dawson had one of them himself. Its name was Mountain Dew. Dawson held it as security for keep and training expenses,. Never had any shares in the Commercial Discount Company. It was proposed to give hint some shares, but be did not - know what became of them. Did not pay anything for the shares.

It was some time ago—in 1860—and he had lost the book. He might have drawn cheques in 1861. He closed the amount when he had no more money left there. (A laugh.) He thought it was in the autumn of 1861. Would not swear he had not drawn cheques in 1862 ; he thought the last was at the latter end of 1861. He ga ve his yearbook to • Mr. Williams, who was the agent of Mr. Treadwell, and negotiated some bills behind his back. He had a cheque-book, but seldom used it. He almost always wrote his cheques on blank paper. Had given a bill of sale to one Hargraves, for three race horses, Inheritress, Mountain Dew, and Sister to Horace. Had no consideration for that bill of sale ; Hargraves gave him nothing for the horses. Had given up the bill of sale to the assignees. Had given an acceptance to one Adams for 5001. without consideration. The name to Jack son. He had no interest in land beyond that under his father's will. Had not inserted Taylor and Tozer in his balance-sheet as creditors. Had never seen them. He supposed they were "innocent holders." (Laughter.)

Mr. Sargood, for the bankrupt, said he had fallen into the hands of persons who were ready to trade on his inexpe rience, and to help him in putting in circulation vast quan tities ci bills sod bonds. He was utterly unable to furnish the dates required. Mr. Chidley, who represented the assignees, mid they were ready to amid the bankrupt by furnishing him with all the date' in their posesesion. He would also be required to furnish a copy of his father's will. The Oommiesioner said it was also ancestral that he should produce a copy of his banking account, which might be obtained from the bank. An adjournment was then ordered to the 18th February.

Jan rani, a dirty-looking f 4ai4 - 0, ind desalting himself as a traveller, of Charles-street, •law, was charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the shop of Mr. Frederick Starling, boot and shoe maker, of No. 5, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road East, and stealing therefrom seven pairs of boots, valued at 4/. 10s. It aPpeered that on the stormy night of the Ist instant one of the shutters in front of the prosecutor's shop was removed by the application of groat force, and prized up, and shoved over another shutter. A pane of glees was broken ' and all the boots on the window board within reach token away. Stimpeoe, an experiemed po sergeant, 21 bad no doubt the burglart and robbery were e ff ected by skilled " crseksmen. On the afternoon of the 2nd instant a woman pawned two new boots, a portion of those stoleo at the shop of Mr. Wood, • pawnbroker, in Highetreet, Shadwell. Mr. Wood advanced 6s. on the boo ts, and took them in as a pair. They proved to be two boots. The prisoner come to Mr. Wood's shop yesterday to redeem the boote, and on presenting the duplicate relat ing to them he was detained mid given into Stimpoon's custody. He was asked by Stimpson where he WU on the night of the Ist instant, and he replied at home, in Charlee-strest, Drury-lap..

Directly afterwards the prisoner left his sheltering place, and walked fifty yards towards soother doorway, near to White Horsogate, and then sheltered himself again. Martin was informed by an inhabitant • few minutes afterwards that the breaking of glue had been heard, and in the course of the same morn mg it was discovered that Mr. Starling's shop had been plundered and • pane of glare broken. Inspector Alison said there was • fearful storm on the night of the led and morning of the 2nd instant, and the min came down in torrents. It was • favourable night for the operations of burglars.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1863. THE BANK FORGERIES-(THIE DAY.) *. -•-- SENTENCE UPON THE BANK NOTE FORGERS. Robert Cummings, 00, who was acquitted on Friday, was this morning again placed at the bar of the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Justice Blackburn. Sir F. Kelly declined to offer any evidence in rapport of the other charges against him, and verdicts of not guilty were consequently taken. The other prisoners, Bucher, Griffith; Williams, and Burnett were then placed at the bar to receive judgment. Mr. Justice Blackburn, addressing them, said that as regarded the prisoner Griffith., there was a differuce between his case and the others. He bad pleaded guilty to part of the indictment and had been found guilty upon another part, and from the evidence there was no doubt that he had been making a regular trade in forging notes, and he seemed to have been about the only person who bad sufficient skill in making bank notes perfect enough to deceive any ordinary observer, and there was no doubt he bad been so engaged for a considerable time before the robbery of the paper. He was possessed of considerable talent and skill, which, if he had devoted to some honest calling, might have produced greater benefits. The cue was considerably aggravated by the fact that he must have known that be was assisting those who were stealing the oil"from the mill. The fact of his wading those forged notes caused others to be con-' victed, as an innocent person might receive a forged note, and might be tempted, rather than be at a loss, to try and pass it, or persons might innocently tender a note not knowing it to be forged. The crime for which he had been convicted was by the old law punishable by death. The maximum of punishment by the new law, however, which he was about to inflict, was little short of a sentence of death, which was that he should be kept in penal servitude for the term of hill natural life. With regard to Bucher, he said he had been convicted on evidence which was very clear. He appeared to be the one who supplied the money to those who forged the notes, and was the means of potting them into circulation. In this case there was no doubt that he received the stolen bank paper from the prisoner Burnett. His cese, however, was a shade lighter than the last, and he should not pus the maximum punishment, although it would belittle lees than his natural life. He then sentenced him to 25 years' penal servitude. Burnett, he said, had been convicted also on evidence which left no doubt that he had received the paper from Brown, and the others who had stolen it from the mills. His crime was that of receiving stolen property, knowing it to have bean stolen, which, from his having been convicted before, made him liable to penal servitude. His case was a shade less, however, than that of the last-mentione d prisoner, and he should sentence him, therefore, only to twenty years' penal servitude. Al to the other prisoner, Williams, his cue was of a different descrip tion. It was very probable that he was not in any way concerned in putting the forged notes into circulation, and he had received a good character. The sentence upon him therefore would be penal servitude for four years. These prisoners were then removed, and theprisoner Cum mings was placed at the bar. His lordship addressed him, and said there could be no doubt that he bad been con cerned in this great crime, and that he had been engaged • great many years in similar proceedings. Although by the rules of law he had now escaped justice, he thought it right to caution him as to his future conduct, and to state publicly as a warning to him and to others also, that where a number of persons engage themselves in such transactions, although they might be suxessful for a time, some of them were 'unto become treacherous, and detection would * cer tainly follow. He was then ordered to be discharged, and the court ad journed. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. OPENING TO THE PUBLIC.-(THIS DAY.)

London and North Western stook is now quoted 971 to 98} ; Great Western, 67} to ; Midland, 1291 to ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 109} to 1104 ; Caledonian, 115} to 1; South Eastern, 89} to ; Great Eastern, 46 to } ; Great Northern, 1281 to 129; and London and South Western, 103 to 1.

The funds to-day are rather dull, owing chiefly to the decline in the stock of bullion in the Bank of England and Bank of France. Console are quoted for the aoconnt about 1-16th per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. The dulness extends to the market for English railway stocks, some of which are a fraction lower. Foreign stocks are likewise in less demand. At Paris, this morning (according to Mr. Renter's telegram), the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 70fr. 46c., being 6c. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 93 tot for money, and 931 for the account (Feb. 5). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, ! for money, 931,1, 93, 1 ; ditto for account, 931, 1 ;1 Three per Cents.

The transactions in foreign stocks have been fully equal to the average for a Saturday, but in some cases, including Spanish Passive Bonds and Certifi cates, the Peruvian Loan, and Maremmana Railway Bonds, flatness is observable. Ths Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 841 to 851; that ofblBsB, 71 to 4 ; that of 1862, 674 to 68, ez div. ; the Consolidee, 40/ to 1, showing a fall of 4 ; and Venezuelan scrip, 14 to 11 dis.

Consols are now flatter, at 921 to 93 for money, and 93 to k for the sth Feb., it being rumoured that a considerable amount of gold has been taken from the Bank. An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due on the Russian Loan on Monday next. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. announce that they have received the sum of 2,0601. 9s. 10d. from the custom-house of Ban Josd de Cucuta on account of New Granada dividends. The absence of ad vices from other custom-houses is occasioned by the correspondence not arriving in time for the steamer. The customs revenues generally appear to be in creasing. About 50,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. The Bavaria, from New York, has brought 10 OC3I. for Eugland. The Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold yesterday for China, at 5/1. 30. per ounce, showing an advance of id. The rise is caused by the activity of the demand for China, combined with the small ness of the amount in the market. The exchange on Austria yesterday afternoon was less in favour of that empire. With this excep tion there was scarcely any alteration. The rates were as follows : _...... . -- .... - . WILUNAZY MAUI AND 111'00Z3. ek IP 4 1 RUMAT& iitesylLaLiArr Joao.

The train. consist of three carriage', and daring the day they have been crowded. It was calculated that up to 12 o'clock the number of passengers conveyed had been about 10,000. When the gates of the Farringdon street station were opened, a considerable number of artisans were in waiting to be carried to their work in the neighbourhood of the various stations on the line. It is believed that a good deal of traffic will be got from this source, as the operatives will find it more profitable to pay the low fares charged on the railway than to walk. The traffic is not con fined from end to end of the line. On the contrary, it is well kept up between the intermediate stations. No doubt something mast be allowed for curiosity; but with all abatements the opening is highly satisfactory. The passengers express themselves much pleased with the general comforts and conveniences of the travel log. When the direct communication with the Great Northern is completed, as it in expected to be on the lit of March next, a new and important accession of traffic is confidently anticipated. It is known that several builders are now directing their attention to the expediency of erecting dwellings for the working classes in the suburbs of the metropolis, and in this way one of the philanthropic ideas of the late Mr. Charles Pearson touching the constrection of the great undertaking is likely to be to some extent, realised. It is not unlikely that the pressure of the traffic may compel the directors to run ten minutes trains. The traffic arrangements are under the superinten dence of Mr. Fenton. The banquet was held yesterday in a large room specially erected for the occasion, and adjoining the Farringdon street station. This room was 250 feet long and 50 wide, and constructed to accommodate 700 guests, for which number tickets were issued. It was lined throughout its entire length with red and white cloth, and banners of all nation/ were suspended from the ceiling and side walls. The tends of the City police were in attendance, and as the trains came into the station they struck up some enlivening sire. Amongst those present at the banquet were the chairman of the company, Mr. Wilkinson, who also presided at the dinner ; Lord Harris, the Lord Mayor, ILP., Mr. Lowe, M.P., Mr. W. Wood, M.P., Mr. Anton, M.P., Sir S. X. Pete, M.P., Mr. H. Lewis, M.P., Mr. S. Beale, M.P., Pro faner Owen, Sir Rowland Hill and lady, Colonel Sir J. Hamilton, Bart, Mr. Malin, LP., Mr. Sheriff Jones, Aldermen Sidney, LP., Humphery, Challis, Abbies, Dakin, Wilms, Moon, Carter, Hale, Gibbons, Mr. Soott Ruessll, IL Du Chadic', to. THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S ON SUNDAY EXCIJR SIONE.—The following appears in the Spectator of to-day : "Seeing your remarks on the Memorial of the Bishops on Sunday excursion trains, I think it right, as one of the sub scribers, to state that what you suppose to have been the one object of the memorial, whether desirable or not, did not enter into my view of the matter at all. I never expected that the London churches would be better filled if the Sunday excursion trains were to cease run ning ; nor, I imagine, was that the object of the various dissecting bodies which have presented memorials to the same effect. But my own motive for adding my sig nature was simply a conviction of the generally pernicious effects of the Sundaymilway excursions— a conviction which was forced upon me by the evidence laid before me. I say fraud upon me, because, at first, I felt a strong doubt about the propriety of the proceeding, and was inclined to believe that it might be directed against the least of two evils. As I have had no communication with any other bishop oa the subject, I can only speak for myself. Bat it is not impos sible that the cue may have bee, the same with allure, and that there are more who are not chargeable with the ' im bedßty' of ' hoping to force the working classes into the churches by earthing up the paths of escape.' Few, .I think, can have been as sanguine about the mouse of the attempt, as they must have been sure that it would being down a great deal of obloquy as themselves.—l am, sir, your obst servant, C.

We had gone down the cover about sixty yards, when a rabbit got up before me, and doubled back through the line of beaters. I fired at it when it had got about fifteen yards from me. As soon se I fired, I saw the deceased fall. He was behind some hazel bushes. He was fifteen yards behind the beaters. He ought to have been close to my ride. He has shot with me before in covers, and he knew it was dangerous to stay behind. Major Anson went on to my that deceased was found to have been shot in the right leg. Medical assistance was obtained from Eccles- hall, Stafford, and Birmumbern, but it was found necessary to amputate the leg. Twenty-four hours after the operation delirium attacked t h e poor fellow, and did not leers him till his death, which took place on Monday last. Mr. W. Bras ford, gamekeper to Lord Lichfield, gave similar evidence. Ho mad that when Major Anson fired be (Mr. Brailsford) believed everybody was in line. He thought it almost impossible for Major Amon, even had he bad his attention fixed upon the spa, to have seen the deceased behind the bush from the place where be was standing. The jury re turned a verdict in accordance with the fact, entirely acquitting Major Anson from blaros.—Staffot drldre Adm.- tiaer.

Several new undertakings of considerable impor tance and interest are announced. One is the British and American Exchange Banking Corporation, with a capital of one million, of which one-half is to be issued in the first in stance. It is not intended, however, to call up Imore than 251. on each 501. share. The object 311 to embark in the generally lucrative business of exchanges between England and America, as well as between America and the ports in India and China. In this latter class of transactions the new company will have the co-operation of the Oriental Bank. The direction is of a character to inspire confidence. Next we may notice the Continental Bank Cor poration (Limited). In this case likewise the auspices under which the appeal is made to the public are highly respectable. It is intended to carry out operations in bullion and exchange be tween the United Kingdom and the Continent. The head office will be in London, and the first branch in Paris. There is no question that in the field proposed a vast amount of profitable business is constantly going on. The capital is 1,000,0001., in 10,000 shares of 1001. each, and the first issue is to consist of 5,000 shares. The City of London and General Fire and Life, Insurance Company (Limited) comes third on our list. This undertaking is not got up by profes eional promoters, but has been formed by a num ber of persons of respectability, practically engaged iu business, and who, it would appear, have it in their power,from the nature of their connexions, to give a good basis to the new concern. Offices are to be established in Liverpool, Glasgow, Edin burgh, Belfast, and other important towns. The directors pledge themselves to adhere to a popular programme, as distinguished from the system of high and arbitrary charges. The capital is to be one million, in 40,000 shares of 25/. each, and in this instance likewise one half is to be issued now. The title of another new undertaking is the Inns of Court Hotel Company. The capital in this case is fixed at 100,0001., in 10,000 shares of 101. each. A suitable site having been secured, it is proposed to meet one of the requirement's of the day by erecting a first class hotel for the accommodation of barristers and others in the vicinity of Lincoln's inn-fields. The central situation is considered of great importance, the more especially as it is be lieved that the various courts of law will b e f ore along be concentrated in the neighbourhood of Lin coln's-inn-fields. A large amount of she capital is announced to have been already subscribed for. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be allowed on all payments until the opening of the 1 hotel. _ _ _ _ The directors of the London, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire Bank are inviting applications for the appointment of secretary, also of manager, Inn rf e) In 108 73 xn In d— xn :04 in al sn Zn 121 1 am 104 i 4 in la 71 r 21 1 le both for the London and Birmingham establish ments. . . . . — fie official statement of the quantity of sherry wines exported from Xeres in 1862 gives a total of 32,616 butts, the principal shippers being as follows, viz.

A circular issued by Messrs Ruskin and Co., of Billiter-street, announces that the sherry vintage of 1862 "yields about a fourth less than any one of even the immediately preceding unpro ductive years" It is remarked, however, that, "the quality of the wine will be most superior. Mr. Douiecq having already advanced prices up to the point necessary for the maintenance of quality, leaves them at present where they are, but he can only receive orders for immediate shipment."

A prospectus was issued yesterday for increasing the capital to work the Tywarnhaile Copper Mine, in CornwalL The committee of manairrient is a very influential one, and there will be little difficulty in accomplishing the object, particularly as it seems that the greater portion of the shares is already subscribed for. The capital expended to this time is 30,0001., or 5/. per share on the 6,000 shares into which the company is divided. The machinery and plant have cost 13,0001., and the ore sold has rea lised about 20,0001.

Dataset Card for ERWT Hertiage Made Digital Newspapers training data
Dataset Summary
This dataset contains text extracted at the page level from historic digitised newspapers from the Heritage Made Digital newspaper digitisation program. The newspapers in the dataset were published between 1800 and 1870.
The data was primarily created as a dataset for training 'time-aware' language models.
The dataset contains text generated from Optical Character Recognition software on digitised newspaper pages. This dataset includes the plain text from the OCR alongside some minimal metadata associated with the newspaper from which the text is derived and OCR confidence score information generated from the OCR software.
