MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The annual meeting of proprietors of the Union Bank of Australia is convened for the 14th of July. A meeting of the holders of Venezuela Bonds is convened for Friday next, to consider the proposals of Senor Nadal, the Fiscal Commissioner of the Republic, relating to the settlement of the old debt and to a new loan. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon there was no variation of importance from the rates of last post. £144,000 in b - .4r gold was taken to the Bank to day. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market is undirsir:ished, and a further advance of between Id. and. Id. per lb. has been realized to-day. A despatch from Vienna states that the remainder o t i the Austrian Loan of 1860 (about £5,000,000) lhas been taken by three parties—namely, the Credit - Bank, Baron Solomon Rothschild, and a combina tion of Vienna and Frankfort houses. The form of stock in which this loan is constituted is not suit able for:the London market, and therefore no por tion of it will be offered here, but the applications for it at Frankfort, Berlin, and elsewhere are stated :to have been considerably in excess of the total amount, thus indicating a more hopeful feeling with regard to the future political course of the empire. The very large amount of dollars brought by the Mexican packet has been disposed of at 610. per ounce. This establishes an advance of Id. on the price realized at the beginning of last month, although transactions to a considerable extent have :been effected :in the interval at 611 d., 611 d., and , 611 d. The bar silver and dollars by the Atrato are not yet sold. Owing to the death of Mr. W, T. Fraser, East India merchant, Great St. Helens, a circular has been issued to the creditors of the house, stating that the books have been placed in the hands of Mr. Kemp, the accountant, and that meanwhile negotiations are in progress for continuing the business. It is thought that the liabilities ulti mately to rank upon the estate will not exceed £30,000, and that, subject to realization, the assets will show a considerable surplus. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gold is now about 2:loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, but it is of about the same value here as in Hamburg. At the yearly meeting of the Northern Assurance Company, the usual dividend of 7f per cent. was declared. The Alhambra, for Lisbon, conveyed £63,000 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail -way of Canada for the week ending the 6th inst., amounted to £8,445 against £6,838 last year. There is an increase of about £3,000 in the traffic returns of the Lancashire Railway for the past Week. Two O'CLOCK. At the annual meeting of the South Australian Company, held to-day, a dividend of 7 per cent. Was unanimously agreed to, and Mr. Alderman Saloroons, M.P., elected to fill the vacancy occa 81°1'0- by the death of Mr. Wheelton. A moderate supply of commercial bills have been negotiated to-day, at previous quatations. The transactions in the English Stock Market to-day have been very limited, and the quotations have been steadily supported, Consols being 91t for transfer, and 91192 for the 10th proximo. Specu lative business is still remarkably dull, and the dealings for delivery are equally circumscribed. The New Threes and the Reduced remained at 911 2 1 Exchequer Bills, at 3s. to 6s. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1074 I. In the Foreign department the dealings have been to a fair extent, and, in most instances, a fur -ther improvement has taken place in values.'

The operations in the Railway Share Market have again been very restricted, and prices have remained without material alteration. Midlands, South-Easterns, and South-Westerns have improved about 55., and Norfolk £l, while Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln have declined 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have exhibited very little animation. Great Luxembourg realise 104* ; Recife and San Francisco, 141 ; Sambre and Meuse, 101; East Indian 1062; Great Indian Pe ninsula, 1042 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada have improved to 231 1.

SPECIAL MEETING THIS DAy. A special general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this day, at the London Tavern, to re ceive a report of the results of the voyage of the Great Eastern steamship to Now York, and to consult on the financial position of thtt company. W. Barber, Esq., oc cupied the chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, stated that the ship had sailed from Milford on the 7th of May with 31 cabin and 101 steerage passengers. The passage was performed in nine days sixteen hours in a highly satisfac tory manner. The return voyage had been made from New York with 187 cabin and 210 steerage passengers. All the passengers had been highly pleased with the ac commodation and performance of the vessel, and had held a meeting previous to quitting her, expressing their admira tion of her qualities, and the ability of her commander, Capt. Paton ; and the directors asked the shareholders to provide the £4,000 required at present. The CHAIRMAN said it would be gratifying to the share holders to learn that the ship had performed her voyage to New York paying her way, as after every charge had been paid from the earnings of the ship, there remained a balance of £317 9s. 3d. in favour of the company. Every passenger had expressed the greatest confidence in the vessel as a sea worthy boat, and had given notice of their intention of using the vessel on her return to New York, It would be for the shareholders to say whether she was to continue running to New York, or whether she should proceed elsewhere. The Great Eastern had had to struggle with the greatest pecuniary liabilities, but he was rejoiced to say that the directors had to a gt eat extent overcome those diffieulties, and he hoped the proprietors wauld supply the £4,000 which the board of directors had been empowered to raise. The ship was now in a condition which might be described as perfect, and as a natural consequence there would be no expense in getting her ready for her next voyage. He believed that the reputation of the ship was fast becoming settled, and that was that she was a ship of the greatest capability, and the ultimate results could but be highly favourable. _ _ Mr. JACKSON asked what was the amount of the capital of the ship in £1 shares, the amount of the preference stock, and the indebtedness of the company. The CHAIRMAN said the capital in £1 shares was £303,000, the preference stock amounted to £lOO,OOO, and the indebtedness to £56,000, which would be raised to £60,000 when the £4,000 required was taken up. Mr. JACKSON said the company was in a fair way of re turning to the proprietors all the money that had been laid out on her, and if one of the shareholders, with whom he had often differed, would come forward with his £l,OOO, ho (Mr. Jackson) would do the same, and thus the sum re quired would be easily raised. The report was then carried unanimously. Mr. JacxsoN said he perceived that the ship was adver tised for two more voyages. They had beaten the crack ships on the station by 12 hours, anti, during the gale, such was the steadiness of their ship, that one gentleman continued writing letters in his cabin, whilst the ladies amused themselves with the piano and playing chess. He thought it would be good policy if the vessel was advertised for another voyage in October, as by that means facilities would be afforded for a great number of persons to return to America after the close of the Exhibition. The CHAIRMAN said Captain Paton was then present, and he would : be happy to give every information:respecting the ship. Capt. PATON said he had the greatest pleasure in meet ing the shareholders of the Great Eastern, for certainly he never in all his experience commanded a more splendid and seaworthy vessel than theirs. In the midst of the most adverse weather etperienced during the voyage, she ran at a speed of 111 knots. (Hear, hear.) He thought if the directors were to advertise the ship for any number of trips, the public would avail themselves of her for crossing the Atlantic. The CHAIRMAN said the adoption of the report was all the business before them, without the gentlemen present wished to continue the financial consultation by subscrib ing the £I,OOO required. Mr. JACKSON said he would start the list by putting down his name for £l,OOO. _ Alderman Ross said he would give the name of a gen tleman for another £l,OOO. (fear, hear.) . _ .. . A number of the shareholders then sent in their names for various amounts, amongst them being Mr. Tuthill, £500; Mr. Bold, £100; Mr. Smith, £5O ; Mr. Samuels, £2O ; and Mr. Lingard, £lO. The CHAIRMAN said he would take the whole of the re mainder, but he would readily give way to any of the share holders if they should desire to take up any of the amount. A vote of thanks and confidence was then given to the directors, which terminated the proceedings. VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT BRISTOL. A review of the volunteers of Bristol and the neighbouring counties took place on DurdLam- down, near Bristol. The reviewing officer was Major-General Hutchinson, commander of the Western district; and the Staff consisted of Lieut. Hutchinson, R.A., Aide-de-Camp ; Captain Kirk, 96th Regiment, Major of Brigade, Plymouth; Lieutenant-Colonel Hume, Assistant-Inspector of Volunteers South-Western district, and Lieutenant- Colonel Dick, Assistant-Inspector of Volunteers Midland district. The troops reviewed comprised in cavalry the Royal Glocester Hussars e-nd North Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry, Col. Sir Wm.

The infantry was divided into two brigades, the first under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Purnell, C. 8., Ist battalion Gloucestershire Rifles ; Captain and Adjutant Robertson, R. S. Gloucester shire Militia, Aide-de-Camp; Captain and Adju tant Marshall, Ist A battalion Gloucestershire Rifles, Major of Brigade. In addition to the Ar tillery and Engineers the following corps formed part of the first brigade :-3d battalion, Lieutenant- Colonel Bush, Ist Gloucestershire Rifles, 600 ; 4th battalion, Major Noel, Ist A battalion, Gloucester shire Rifles, 243 ; sth battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Scobell, 2d A battalion Worcestershire Rifles, 400 ; 6th battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel Mason, Ist and 9th Warwickshire Rifles, 610. The second brigade was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Mansell, Ist A Dorsetshire Rifles ; Captain and Adjutant Bellsirs, of the Wilts Militia, being the Major of Brigade.

Colonel Fielden, let battalion Hereford Rifles, Ist and 6th Monmouth Rifles, and 17th Glamorgan Rifles, 639 ; and 6th battalion, Ist A battalion Dorset Rifles, 373. The numbers given are, however, under the actual mark, and altogether the number of volunteers under review was little less than 8,000. The ground was kept by a detachment of the 32d Regiment, now stationed at Horfield, and by the Enrolled Pensioners of the Bristol district. The weather in the earlier part of the day was magni ficently fine, and there could not have been l ess than 100,000 spectators present, but at about 3 o'clock the rain began to descend, and continued at inver vals throughout the review. A spacious grand stand 950 ft. in length by 22ft. in width, and capa ble of accommodating 5,000 persons, was erected in front of the saluting flag, and was well filled, the prices of admission to the centre being 55., and to the sides 3s. A shil ing . stand was also erected at the east side of the review-ground, which was crowded. Ample ' accommodation was provided for foot spectators, and vehicles of every description were on the down. Shortly after 2 o'clock the troops were drawn up in the following order :—Cavalry and artillery, extreme right of the line ; I s t and 2 d brigades of infantry, in line of contiguous columns of battalions, at quarter dis tance, right in front, with six paces interval be tween battalions and brigade, officers taking part in review order. The bands formed on the light of battalions, and in this order received the review ing officer, who, in addition to his staff, was accom panied by Earl Ducie, Lord •Lieutenant of Glouces tershire ; Lord Portman, Lord-Lieutenant of Somer. setshire, _&c. The General, accompanied by hie staff, having inspected the line, the battalions marched past in open column, and were afterwards put through a vari e t y o f evo l u ti ons , a ll o f which were fairly executed, and some of them manifested a high degree of proficiency. At the conclusion, General Hutchinson expressed his satisfaction with the manner in which the Volunteers had acquitted themselves ; three hearty oheers were given for the Queen, and the proceedings terminated, THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PAR LIAME NT. ROUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms DAY. The ST.B.A.xRE. took the chair at 12 o'clock. SALE OF SPIRITS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, ' Mr. W. FORSTER moved the following :—" That it be ara instruction to the committee that they have power to extend the operation of the bill and of the act thereby amended, to the sale of beer, wine, end cider." After some discussion, the house divided— For the motion Against Majority Th e motion was acco rdin g l y lost. On the first clause, which constituted the whole bill, Mr. W. MARTIN moved the following amendment : "Page 2, line 11, leave out all after shall,' and insert 'be and the same is hereby repealed, so far only as relates to spirituous liquors sold to be consumed elsewhere than on the premises whore sold, and sent to and delivered at the deuce of the purchaser thereof in quantities not less at any one time than a reputed quart." After a short discussion, the clause, as amended, was agreed to, and the bill went through committee, after which the house resumed. CLERGY RELIEF BILL The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. GRIFFITH moved the following amendment: — " Line 6, leave out " solemnly ;" after " declare," leave out " that I conscientiously dissent from the doc trine and discipline of the Church of Eng- , . _ land," and insert "that I desire to be relieved from any civil disabilities, disqualifications, restrictions, and prohibitiOns to which I may be now subjected as being in holy orders." Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the amendment. After a few words from several hon. members, the amend ment was negatived, and the clause was agreed to, as well as clause 2. On clause 3, Mr, DILLWYN moved the emission of certain words, in order to deprive bishops of the power of excommunicat- ing clergy. Some conversation ensued, in the course of which Mr. Barnes, Mr. Sergeant Pigott, and Mr. Griffith supported, and Sir W. Heathcote opposed the ammendment, after which the house divided : For the amendment Against Majority The clause was then agreed to, as were clauses 4 and 5. On clause 6, Mr..DILLWYN moved an amendment to the effect that a minister holding an office as a minister of the Church of England should vacate the same on his secession, but that he should not be required to vacate an office if he held it previous to entering the ministry. After some discussion, the committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against • Majority _ On clause 7, which contains a proviso at the end exclud ing from the House of Commons persons who had seceded from the ministry of the Church of England, Mr. DILL WYN moved the omission of the proviso, and contended that constituencies alone were the proper parties to decide on the fitness of persons to be elected members of the house. Mr. BOUVERIE said that he was inclined to agree with the amendment, but being the mouthpiece of the select committee appointed to consider the bill,he felt bound to sup port the retention of the proviso in question. The house divided— Ayes Noes .. Majority —99 The clause was accordingly agreed to, as was clause 8, the last clause of the bill. The house then resumed.

A STRANGE CITARGt OP FELONY.—AIice Rutland and Elisabeth Hamilton, two well-dressed females, were charged with robbing William Herbert Crombie Duffus, of Carlton chambers, Regent-street, of his breast pin, umbrella, &c. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoners. The prosecutor, a stylishly- dressed man, who said he was valet to Captain Callaghan, and whose mode of giving his evidence was a bad imitation of "Lord Dundreary," said— I went with these ladies to Barnes's Supper-rooms, 5, Pan ton-street. I had in my scarf a pin worth £B. I don't want to givo them in charge if they will give me my pin. It was Rutland who took the pin from my scarf. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf you want them discharged, I'll do it. You can either give your evidence or not. _ . Prosecutor—lt was on Thursday evening, and we had been to the London Pavilion. My friend saw her take it, and told her so. I saw her take it, upon my honour. It was my friend saw her take it. Mr. Lewis—First you say your friend saw her take it, and then that you saw her take it. Which do you mean P Prosecutor—l wasn't sober then, but lam now. If you are not satisfied you can go to Mr. Barnes. Martin, 86 C, said the prosecutor gave the prisoners in charge last night at the London Pavilion, where they were sitting quietly. The prosecutor first said one had robbed him and then the other. The prisoners were searched, but neither the pin nor umbrella was found. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was not case enough to detain the prisoners, and discharged them. WESTMINSTER. GROSS PERSONAL OUTRAGE ♦T THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.-Mr. John Butler, of 38, Anne's-place, Sloane-street, Chelsea, was charged with a violent and un provoked assault upon John Ross, a clerk, living at Forest 14i hill. Complainant, who is evidently in a very weak and bad state of health, said that at 20 minutes to four yesterday afternoon he was in the annexe at the Exhibition, and had to pass between the defendant and a lady. Complainant had a cane under his arm, and being pressed very much toward the lady, to prevent coming in contact with her he passed olose by the defendant, his cane pressing him as he did so. Defendant immediately came up and asked com plainant whether he had struck him, and immediately gave him a blow on the side of the head with his clenched fist, which made the blood flow directly from his mouth. Mr. Arnold—What did you say when he asked if you had struck him ? Complainant—Nothing. He gave me no tithe to reply before he struck me. Mr. George Bryan, of 33, Bedford square, solicitor, cross examined the complainant without at all shaking his testi • mony. Mr. Hartley Waddington, of 74, Old Broad-street, share dealer, said he was at tho Exhibition. He saw the defendant walk up to the complainant, and heard him say, "Did you strike me," and before he could reply defendant struck him a blow on the mouth with his knuckles. The assault was totally unwarranted. Alfred Paine, of Queen Elizabeth-road, Horselydown, said the stick happened to touch the defendant, who then committed the assault as described. He too agreed that defendant did not give complainant time to answer before he struck him. John Dearing, 163 X, said that Ross gave the defendant in charge, and was at the time bleeding from the mouth. Defendant, when taken into custody, said he had asked the complainant whether he struck him with a stick, and he replied he did, when he gave him a smack in the mouth, that he night go and tell his brother Frenchman what an old Englishman could do. Mr. Bryan said that his client was a gentleman 72 years of age. He had felt some one strike him on the back, and seeing the complainant with a stick, enquired what he did that for, when he said he had, and, in the heat of the moment, defendant certainly struck him an openhanded 'blow, which the defendant now certainly regretted. Com plainant's particular state of health made his mouth bleed • with a very slight blow, 4i lBl } Mr. Arnold asked if any expressions of regret had been made by the defendant to the complainant. Complainant said there had not. 1104 12 Mr. Arnold thlught it would have been more creditable on the part of the defendant to have apologised for this un provoked assault, and to have made the complainant some pecuniary recompense, than to have instructed his solicitor to set up a false line of defence. As he, however, had not done this act of justice, he (Mr. Arnold) must deal with the matter, and he therefore fined the defendant 505., or a month's imprisonment in default. VARIETIES. (From Fun.) LEGAL NOTES AND MAXIMS. Under this head the reader, tired with the day's work in the garden, will find for his quiet evening perusal a few hints which may materially assist him in his dealings with his fellow-men. Firstly, it is a common saying that an action will lie ;" but, be it remembered, so also, very often, will the parties to it. a i 14 I ' A judge may "cause a writ of attachment to issue," even though he is not very fond of his children. There is such a thing as a " mandamus," but we never yet heard of a " womandamus ;" the latter is probably a fiction. The Third Baron of the Exchequer does not take rank with the Second Count of an indictment. Sheriffs' officers, as a rule, never go to church on Sun day, their reason being that " service on Sunday is a nullity." DISRAELI'S CHANT. Let us grab at whom we can, BRIGHT—" or any other man ;" Wear he black, or wear he drab, What's the odds ? so at him grab ?" " All I ISN'T IT ?"—What a curious thing it is that of those who nightly go out on the loose, so largo a number should collie home quite tight I A POSER FOR PARADAY.—When the thermometer rises we find the heat•drops. What Scotch sport is like ladies' conversation P—Dears talking. CAUSE AND EFFECT.—A lawyer's bill. Indignant Parent—" No money, sir ? Tailor dunning you, sir? What do you mean? Why don't you put your shoulder to the wheel ?" Incipient Swell (languidly)— . " Well, I would only it's so deuced muddy." QUITE TIGHT AT FOUR O'CLOCK A.M. AT A DRINKING FOUNTAIN.—" I shay, waiter, bring me a splice o' sugar and a bit o' lemonsh." A DRUNKEN MAN'S SAFEST BET.—To lay on the field. A man who drinks himself to death can be said to " die mellow." Can you therefore trace any connexion between "melo-dy" and the heavy wet ? SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

Mr. ALCOCK, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that the measure did not propose any compromise, but merely provided a capital fund, raised by voluntary contribution, to render the Church independent of a com pulsory rate. Mr. EVANS seconded the motion. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he had a bill for commutation before the house, but he had deferred it at the request of Mr. Estcourt, who had given a notice of resolutions on the subject of church-rates. He thought the bill now before the house and that he (Mr. Newdegate) proposed should be referred to a select committee. Sir G. GREY said he had no objection to the second reading if the bill was only meant to affirm a principle, but the provisions of the bill were extremely defective. Mr. PACKE thought the bill would be entirely inope rative, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. SPOONER seconded the amendment, Mr. ESTCOURT advised the postponement of the bill until the fate of his resolutions cn Tuesday became known. The debate was adjourned till this day week.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. In reply to Colonel SYKBS, Sir C. WOOD stated that about 4,000 men were about to be sent out to India, but that they were simply reliefs and recruits. THE INCOME TAX. Mr. HUBBARD called the attention of the house, in connection with the Income-tax, to the action taken by the Government on the "Two Million Fortification Loan Act of IMO," and also to the effect of the tax on the rents of encumbered landed property; and, after having criticised certain details in the financial policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, concluded by moving for a number of re turns relating to the operation of the Income Tax Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended his policy, and offered a variety of explanations in reference to the objections he had urged upon a former occasion to the readjustment of the income tax, which had been that pro proposed by Mr. Hubbard. With respect to the p resen t h .e had no objection to the production of that po rtion of th motion of the hon. gentleman, he had to sta te n mere t u a e retu which was founded upon positive da ta and no po rns vague conjectures. Sir F. HEYGATE said he believed that the contri.bu ysttofrb:be from h e also felt convinced that gr ievance to complain of ; S c h e dule D had no serious tors to the income tax und er imtspvoesryed in times of public nature be unpopu lar, and which ought which o m n u l emergency. Mr. P. URQUHART thought it desirable that an ad justment of the income tax should be effected. Sir H. WILLO LIGHBY said he could not see his way to any satisfactory adjustment of the tax, but he was very anxious to find it reduced to the smallest possible amount. Sir S. NORTHCOTE suggested an enlargement of one portion of the returns, and stated a number of objections to Mr. Hubbard's scheme for an adjustment of the tax. Mr. HUBBARD replied he would not insist on the pro duction of the return to which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had objected. The motion, with this exception, was agreed to. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. Sir F. SMITH moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty praying thal she might be graciously pleased to appoint a Royal Commission to inquire into the policy of the military occupation of the Channel Islands, and the practicability of ensuring their safety against foreign invasion. S ir G. C. LEWIS expressed his inability to accede to the motion, and was proceeding with his address when the house was counted out. CRIME IN FRANCE.—A murder and suicide have just been committed at Mosnay (Indre). A. forest keeper named Poitrinaud had frequently occasion to complain of the encroachments of a small farmer named Buries, who frequently drove cattle on to the property under the keeper's care. This had given rise to such a feeling of hatred on the part of Duris that Poitrinaud had at length become alarmed, and on the morning of the murder had expressed a fear that Duris might do him some harm. Duris concealed himself, armed with a gun, behind a hedge by which he knew Poi trinaud must pass. The latter arrived shortly after, and, on passing before the spot whore his enemy was concealed, paused to light his pipe, when Danis fired, and the ball passed through his left cheek and brain. Duris then rushed forward and battered the head of the lifeless body with the barrel of his gun until it had bent in his hand ; he then used the butt end until it broke, and afterwards employed his heavy wooden shoe for the same purpose. His WV was not yet exhausted, as ho set fire to the clothes of the mur dered men, which burnt until the flame reached the keeper's powder-flask, which exploded. Duris then e h eard th e p i c ked up Pm ' trinaud's gun, and was about to Oh when h voice of a young man calling from a neighbouring wood. The murderer was then seized with a panic, and placing the muzzle of the gun to his own heart, pressed the trigger 1 with his foot, killing himself on the spot. Poitrinaud, who was a widower, has left two children, both of whom are in business. Duris had formerly been a soldier, and was in rsoeipt of a pension of zoof. a year., SPORTING-THIS DAY• BT ELECTRIC TELEGRIFII. ASCOT RACES—THIS DAY. CORONATION STAKES.

The ordinary annual general meeting of the directors and proprietors was held this afternoon at the new offices of the society, 316, Regent-street. George Bermingham, Esq., chairman of tho hoard of directors, presided. The usual routine business having been disposed of, Mr. Lake, the manager, read the directors' report for the past year, as follows : have again to congratulate them on t h e pro " The director s, in submittin g to the p ro p rietors the fol lowingesreport,sperity of the association. gr s and pr e " During the year ending the 31st March last, the direc tors received the following in new business :-3,003 pro posals for the assurance of £612, 355, and issued 2,356 policies for the assurance of £483,743, giving a new annual premium income of £16,364 55 6d. During the year the association has also acquired by pur chase a further new income of £23,000 pee' annum. The annual revenue from po li c ies in force is £ 136, 965 10s 11d. The invested funds and property, irrespective c. , f the sub scribed capital, amount to £257,86 1 17s. 7d., ant.l the an nual revenue on the same is £9,865 Os. 2d. The gross annual income, therefore, from all sources, is i £146,830. "The claims by death during the year w ere upon 276 p licies assuring £55,853 168. 7d. " From the revenue account it will be seen that there is a surplus on the year's transactions of £20,991 9s. in favour of the association, being the excess of income over claims by death and expenses of every description. Annuities involving payments to the amount of £1,207 Bs. 4d. per annum have fallen in during the financial year by the deaths of nine annuitants, and two reversions have also fallen in. The association has by these incidents benefited to the extent of £11,398 in present value. "The directors recommend that the usual interest of £5 capital to the per cent. per annum be paid on the paid - up 31st of March last, the close of the financial year, which Au st. may be received on and after the I s t of " The directors who retire by rotation are, Col. gu being eli and Messrs. Anderson, Clarke, and S mith, w , gible, are recommended by the board for re-ere-elution. The auditors also retire, but are eligible for re-electioth " The time having arrived for an actuarial inves tigation of the affairs of the association, the difecto be rs have caused the necessary a rran g ements to made for that purpose, and the result of such investigation will be communicated to the share holders as soon as it has been completed. To those, how ever, who are aware of the labour involved in the valuation of upwards of 16,000 policies, it will be obvious that s ome months must elapse before the result can be communicated. The directors feel that they have cause to congratulate the proprietors on the acquisition of offices so admirably-fitte d for the requirements of their large and increasing busi ness. The details connected with such an extens i v e business as the receipt of more than eixty f proposals each week, together with an income de amounting to nearly £150,0 00 per annum, mand a careful organisation of labour. The circumscribed limits of the previous offices have, in addition to many other inconve niences, offered obstructions to the more extensive develop ment of the resources of the institution. For, satisfactory as the returns must be to the proprietary, the directors feel that much ground has been unavoidably left unworked, and that the facilitiesow affoed by increased sace, will lead to a still further increase rd in the new business of the association." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the success that had attended their operations during the year just closed. During that period they had received no less than 3,003 proposals for new assurances, and the number of new policies issued amounted to no less than 2,356, amounting to £483,743, which gave a new annual premium income of £16,36155. sd. (Cheers.) The annual revenue of the company from policies in force amounted to £136,965 10s. lid., and this, with the invested funds and other property, irrespective of the sub-* scribed capital, gave the sr,ciety a gross annual income of £146,830. The business transacted by the society was of the best and safest description; they sedulously avoided all those alluring temptations held out to assurance companies, and by so doing they had attained a position amongst the most solid, the most reliable, and the safest assurance companies in the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) They for the first time mec in their new offices, and all would agree with him that more commodious premises for the t ransaction of their busi ness' could not have been selected. They had now the means of transacting any amount of business, and he hoped that all the proprietors would individually assist in enlarg ing the sphere and augmenting the income of the British Nation Assurance Society. (Cheers.) The motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously. The retiring directors, viz., Col. Hammill, Messrs. Anderson, Clarke, and Smith, were unanimously re-elected. A cordial vote of thanks to the directors, and to Mr. Lake, the manager, concluded the business of the. meeting. After the business of the day was disposed of, the new offices of the society became the subject of general conver sation, all agreeing that a more convenient, spacious, and elegant suite of offices did not exist. The company appears, either from choice or necessity, to have ignored the usual palatial elevation, and contented itself with a portico surmounted by a piece of stone sculpture represent ing Britannia holding a shield over a widow and child- - th° noble British lion keeping watch at the feet of our national protectress. Unambitious, however, as the exterior may be, as regards any attempt at rivalry with other edifices of recent design, the interior is perfect ; admitting the most entire or ganisation that can be required for a life business very much larger even than the corcpany is now doing. A long vestibule leads to the public office, which is 74ft. long, 25ft. wide, a and 25ft. high. The f ittin g s and desks are of polished oak;nd the office, whic h is capable of accommodating 30 clerks, At the end of this s tee id d e of by it are the board-room 51 feet by 23 feet messengers sen feet—andge rs is illuminated icelelauasmtreeir eastern the gas " sunlights." y f r o o r om el , e 3 rks o fe a e n t d b stron g and fireproof rooms, and the lavatories w th hi e le wa d i e ti w: and medical examination rooms.
