REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RITE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before them in 1868. fhe income of the year, it will be seen, amounts t £640,499 18s., and the total charge to £445,077 10s. 9d The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, raised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will bo noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be recarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. DR.

He was not to be compared with the ruffians alluded to above, but there is no doubt that he was under the influence of think at the time he committed the fatal act. He had fallen into a state of morbid depression, awl his former mates, from mistaken kindness, had been in the habit of giving him drink to keep up his spirits and by way of good fellowship. JUDGE and his family were by no means in the deep distress which so often befalls the poor. Although his Luture prospects were not bright, there was no immediate peril. The house was comfortably furnished and the family were provided with food. The habit of drink ing was obviously the indirect cause of the commis sion of the crime, and had JUDGE been a sober man ho might have passed through the hour of trial as hundreds have done before him. In the cases of JOYCE and NAYLOR, nothing seemed to occasion distress but the drunken habits of the husbands. Such cases as these convey to the mind a far more unenviable and hopeless impression than that which arises from a recital of the calamities occasioned by unavoidable disaster. They are also far more nume rous. The loss of life by drunkenness is about as large every week as the whole list of losses by ship wreck for a year. The evil cannot with safety be neglected, nor is the case so hopeless as at first sight appears. These wife-beatings and murders always prevail in exact proportion to the facilities which are afforded for obtaining drink ; given the number of the public-house, and you have the num ber of ruined homes. Human nature is not so bad as it seems in the police -court. There we usually have human nature and alcohol. The tragedies which we deplore are the result of the compound. To allow both elements to be constantly in contact with one another is about as wise as it was to place the petroleum and lucifer matches together on the deck of the passenger steamer. So long as contact is allowed, there will be the usual proportion of " accidents." 'We cannot dispense with human nature, which may be regarded as the petroleum, but we are not obliged to place public-houses, correspond ing to the lucifer-matches, alongside of it ; and if broken ribs and broken hearts have any claim upon our sympathy, we may show it by taking the stum bling-block out of the way, even if its removal involves a serious effort and some personal inconve nience to ourselves. WIIETHEIL regarded from a medical or a maternal point of view, the subject of vaccination is one of grave importance. Its thorough ventilation, there fore, in the columns of the public press should be a source >of satisfaction rather than regret. The opinions expressed upon the value of the practice, and the statements of results that have arisen from following it, are as diverse as they generally are in controversies of this kind. A remarkable instance of the way in which effects are ascribed to causes with which in truth they have not the most remote connection, is given by a surgeon who entered upon practice at Exmouth twenty years ago. He then vaccinated the first child he had ushered into the world, and found, to his great annoyance, that very soon after the infant was covered with eruptions constantly discharging. The conclusion at which the parents arrived was natural enough. They thought, and did not hesitate to say, that the matter used was impure. When, however, in due course a second child was born, the doctor persuaded the parents not to have it vaccinated. In the meantime he had learnt much of their medical history and was not sur prised to find that this second child was soon after birth attacked more seriously than the first who had been vaccinated. Now, here was a case where, being the subjects of hereditary skin disease, the parents attributed to vaccination the ills their children inherited from themselves. If credit is to be attached to the judgment of numerous medi cal practitioners, this is no unusual circumstance. But there is another cause why results of a disastrous kind follow vaccination, and are unjustly assigned to it, for there are very few who are able, or who even make the effort, to discriminate between a disorder which simply succeeds the operation and one which may be traced to it as the exciting cause. As is justly pointed out by our medical contemporary, the Lancet, it is sufficient for vaccination to have been performed for parents to credit it with everything that follows. The letter of Dr. SEATON, senior medical inspector of the Privy Council, dealing with the case of the child, ALICE Hunsox, to which attention has already been called in our columns, plainly prove this. It was not the introduction of vaccine virus into the body that caused the loss of health in the child, and the terrible skin disease from which it suffered, but these things were the result of its weak and delicate condition of the child when taken to undergo the operation. But behind all this—and it will be a strong point with the anti vaccinators—remains the question why vaccination should have been performed while such a condition of health existed. The child was taken to the medical officer, the public vaccinator. It was for him, it will be urged, to tell the parents what they, from their want of medical knowledge, may be supposed not to have known, and to have abstained from performing the operation at a time so inopportune. But here again it is the mother who is in fault. Instead of taking her child during the proper hours to the house of the public vaccinator, she went at a time when she could only receive the attention of an assistant. The law, which compels vaccination, is hardly to be made responsible for that which has turned out to a circumstance so untoward, which might with fore thought and care have been entirely avoided. The daily instances of evasion of the law which are occur ring all over the country, as proved by the prosecutions that are instituted and the convicitions that follow them, shew how strongly rooted in the minds of parents is the prejudice against vaccination. Here steps in the question, how is that prejudice to be removed? Punishment will not do it. Let a mother only have the conviction in her mind that by vaccination she will expose her child to danger and disease, and though fifty Acts of Parliament enact that she is to subject it to the operation, she will inevitably break through them all. The only cure for the outcry of ignorance now being raised against vaccination is, we take it, plainly to teach the advantages which result from the invaluable discovery of JENNEB. THE ALBERT ASSURA NCE COMPANY. Five petitions in re the Albert insurance Company were heard before Vice-Chancellor James at sittings in Chambers yesterday. A large array of counsel appeared to represent the several petitioners and other parties interested, and the court, which was thrown open for the occasion, was crowded to excess. Mr. Higgins said he appeared for the first of the peti tioners, Mr. J. McLauchlan, a shareholder, who presented a petition on the 11th of August. His Honour observed that the newspapers had for some time past contained nothing but references to the Albert Company—[Mr. Higgins : And Lord Byron. (Laughter.)] —and he desired to contradict 'a statement that ho had authorised the spending of £lO,OOO on mortgages of the policy-holders. Mr. Higgins believed the srholo expenses had not ex ceeded £25. His Honour said there must an order for winding up the affairs of the company; the only question was on whoso petition the order should be made. Mr. Higgins stated that the gentlemen who had been appointed provisionally ought to have had an opportunity of stating what they had done. There were in the affair 2,600 policy-holders, and the premiums were payable at the rate of nearly 100 per day to the amount of about £l,OOO. The office had been kept open every day. The first step taken by the liquidators was to open a separate account into which the premiums could be paid for the present, and this had had the effect of keeping a very large portion of the business going. Tho only hope of anything reaching the policy holders or creditors lay in the adoption of a tolerant course of conduct on all sides. His Honour said he had before made an order for a separate account, and of course gentlemen who paid money into that account would have it back again without lia bility for costs, &c. Ho did not mean to allow them to be " sweated "in any way. (A laugh.) Mr. Higgins went on to say that his petition had been presented by a shareholder merely because the company was not incorporated ; but it was to all intents and purposes the petition of the company. There were four other petitions besides Mr. Bl'Lauchlan's, which was filed on the 11th of August. The secend was filed on the 12th ult. by the executors of Mr. Buckmaster, who were credi tors to the amount of £1,080; the third was on the 20th ult., by Mr. A. A. Moore, the holder of fifteen shares; the fourth on the 31st ult, by Mr. W. Wilson, a creditor on a policy for £5OO ; and a fifth by Mr. J. P. White. Ho submitted that the order for winding up should be made on the first petition, or at the most on the first and second. The first was sufficient for the purpose, and was presented with perfect bond fide by the directors ; but the three latter petitions were pre sented with a full knowledge of the proceedings before his Honour at an earlier date, and were merely an attempt to come in on the assets, which were already burdened quite enough. In fact, unless some arrangement was made, it would be impossible to pay more than two shillings in the pound. (" Oh !"( He hoped gentlemen present would not factiously oppose the scheme which had already been proposed with the sanction of the court—(" No, no,") —to this extent : the court sanctioned the making of a proposal to the meetings ordered to be held throughout the country. Mr. Graham Hastings supported this petition. Mr. Kekewich appeared in support of the second peti- tion (Mr. Buckmaster's) and objected to an order being made on any but the first and second. Mr. T. Hughes, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. Ince supported the third petition, that of Mr. Inver°, who was the holder of fifteen shares, purchased in 1859. They urged that there were reasons to complain of Mr. Kirby, and that the petition had been presented by gentlemen who were solici tors to the London Guarantee and Accident C,mpany, which was really a part of the Albert; and of which Mr. Kirby was a director. Mr. Moore had written to the sup porters of the second petition asking for a guarantee that they would prosecute their petition, and the latter had declined to give any such undertaking. This shelved the ground for the prosecution of the third petition. His Honour : With the hope of costs. (Laughter') Mr. Ince said the petition represented 371 shares (out of ,bout 20,000), worth £7,420 ; creditors to the amount of £300; and policy-holders to the amount of £37,450; although heavy to the representatives of the direetcrs, who had managed to lose 8-' 2 - millions, these would probably seem small figures. His Honour : These figures do not justify a man in pre senting a petition after the others were presented. I shall not allow any costs. Mr. Amphlett, Q.C., M.P., appeared for Mr. Wilson, the fourth petitioner, who, he said, had been unablo to obtain from the representatives of Mr. Buckmaster a guarantee that they would seek a winding-up. This petition was from policy-holders. Mr. Edlin, Q.C., appeared to support the fifth petition, which, he said, was presented by Mr. White, Mr. Best, and Messrs. Edward and Samuel Holt. Mr. Whito was a present creditor, Mr. Best was the holder of a policy which had become a present claim, and the Messrs. Holt were policy-holders, the one for £2,000 and the other for £1,500, upon which £l,OOO had been paid. It was admit ted that the first petition was from the directors, and his objection to the second was that it was got up in collusion with the first. Mr. Cookson claimed that the affairs of the Indian policy itolders should be kept distinct from those of the English policy-holders, on the ground that the mortality tables for the former were higher than the latter. His Honour expressed an opinion that no distinction could be made. He would make no order. Mr. Karslake, Q.C., on behalf of a large body of policy holders, approved of the first, or the first and second uetitions. A succession of learned gentlemen then adddressed his Honour in the interest of the various London and provincial committees, and some amusement was occasioned by their contests for precedence; some founding their claims for special consideration on the fact that they were large bodies, and others on the circumstance that they were the "original committees." The_ Vice-Chancellor said he *as of opinion that the .n - der for compulsory winding-up ought to be made upon the first petition—that of a shareholder, Mr. McLaughlan —and upon the petition of the gentlemen represented by Mr. Amphlett (Mr. Wilson and others.) The one repre sented the company and the shareholders, and the other was substantially the petition of the policy-holders--thus both sides would be able to appear in Chambers. He hoped they would see their way, without litigation other than that in Chambers, to making the best of this very bad affair. The order would be that the first petitioners, the supporters of the fourth petition, and the official liquidators would have their costs; and he had great pleasure in saying that he would not give a farthing of costs to anybody else whatever. (Applause.) Ho disliked excessively the mode in which insolvent companies were made carcases to plunder. Mr. Locock Webb said he had ft summons in this .natter which he wished to bring before his Honour. It was for the appointment of somebody to represent the policy-holders. The Vice-Chancellor said ho could not deal with sum monses at that sitting. They were all premature; and the only order ho should make would be that each appli cant should pay his own costs. Many of them were mere experiments to see if anything could be made out of the costs. Mr. T. Hughes, Q.C., said he also had a petition, but it was for the removal of Mr. Kirby from the position of provisional official liquidator, and tho appointment of Mr. White in his stead. His Honour : I know nothing about Mr. Kirby. Mr. Higgins said Mr. Kirby had the misfortune to be the son of the previous manager of the company. He had already signified his readiness to retire from his present position, for he had no desire to continue in the performance of his present painful duties. After an animated discussion, in which innumerable lounsel appeared to take part, His Honour directed that Mr. Kirby should retire from his present post, and that Mr. Price should remain the sole provisional liquidator, but he also ordered that the party who had taken cut the summons should pay his own costs. (Laughter.) As barristers rose in every part of the Chambers to address his Honour, he peremptorily declined to hear nything more on summonses, and left the bench amidst cries of "If your Honour will hear me! " It was stated that no less than forty-five counsel wert engaged in the case. A fatal boiler explosion took place in an oil mill a' Hull on Thursday. Cno man was killed and a youth was severoly scalded, and damage was doco to tho amount of about .£l,OOO. The disaster is attributed to carelessness. A gentleman received an unpaid letter, commenc ing, "Sir, your letter yesterday bears upon its face the r.tunp of falsehood." His answer was brief and to the purpose :—" I only wish your letter of yesterday bore upon its face a stamp of any kind." THE YOMISIIIRE ITARVEST.—In the wide agri cultural district of the North and East Ridings nothing has been done this week owing to continued wet—thun derstorms, hailstorms, and tremendous rains. Some of the Wold farmers are in the awkward predicament of having most of the corn out—all in some cases—con fidence having been felt in the stability of the 'weather, and the object being to got all cut down before, starting to lead, a plan much practised, but which rarely ana*Tril• On the moor farms, harvest has only just got incely 0,.00 ( A week of tirY WcAthoN WY gMtIY ;WM, LONDON Vil7 URDAY, SEPT. 18, 1869 , The National Lifeboat Institution continues, during these times of profound peace, to elicit the display of that nautical heroism which has, in times of war, contributed so largely to make England what she is. This noble and hu mane association, in other words, affords the op portunity, all along our sea-beaten coasts, for the evidencing, by our gallant tars, again and again during each rolling year, whenever " the stormy winds do blow," as the good old song has it, that the pluck, the self-possession, the indomitable resolution, the almost reckless daring for which our sailors have before now been so often remarkable, when led on against the foe by a NELSON or a COCHRANE, have, in no way whatever, when doing battle simply with the elements, dwindled away and dege nerated. A storm is, in point of fact, quite as good a test as a frigate action. The rescue of the crew of a foundering collier is a feat fully as glorious, in its way, as the boarding and capturing of an enemy's man-of-war. Reading the quarterly journal of the National Life-boat Institution, indeed, in a great measure, has long been to ourselves something very much akin to reading the Gazette on the morrow of a victory. It is in effect, for that matter, the record of a triumph won over the perils of the great deep. We turn the leaves, not without emotion. We examine the wreck-chart, by which the letterpress of the journal is almost always accompanied, with some thing of the same kind of interest as that with which a reader of " JAMES'S Naval History of England," let us say, scrutinises every now and then those little wood-cut diagrams, showing how such and such a famous fiigatc-action was fought out—such an action, for example, as that between the Shannon and the Chesapeake. Here, the enemy's ship or our own was raked! Here, one or other of them gave or took a broadside ! Precisely in the same way, we glance at the Wreck Chart accompanying the So ciety's Journal, we say to ourselves—Here, and here, and here a new lifeboat has been established by the efforts of this truly National Institution. But that the Society has accustomed us to similar displays of dauntless courage, north, south, east, and west, along our own sea-board, we should be startled into a glow of prouder satisfaction, even than that existed under the actual circumstances of the case on our reading the account of an incident like that related this morning by a correspondent of the Mites, signing himself " LEANDER," and heading his brief but striking nar rative, " English Oars and English Pluck." Writ ing to the Times under date only yesterday, " LEANDER" relates the incident he has to record, and of which we presume him to have been an eye witness, in the manner following—" During the heavy gale on Monday last," he writes, " when no steamer could cross the Channel, a French vesse from Rio was seen in distress off Boulogne. masts and rigging were cut away, and the waves were breaking over her. The crew were seen hold ing on in the way they could. It so happened that five Englishmen, said to belong to a rowing club, were at Boulogne. There is a lifeboat there, but it was locked up, and neither the key nor the crew were forthcoming. Though our gallant countrymen would shrink from any glory in their deeds, it should be known that the boat-house was broken open, and, three of the French lifeboat crew having joined them with their captain, the boat was with difficulty got afloat about 4 o'clock p.m. The efforts of the crew were watched from the shore, and they were soon seen returning with four rescued sailors. There still remained six cling ing to the wreck ; but these plucky fellows once more put to sea, and their noble efforts were rewarded by bringing off the remainder of the crew." Nobly done, all this, not a doubt of it. But—it is pre' isely what is being re corded over and over again, quarter after quarter, in the journal of the National Life-boat Institution. The last number of tLat journal now imme diately about to _issue from the press—dated, by anticipation, October Ist, 1869—being Vol. VII., No. 74, contains, among many wonderfully inter esting particulars, on pp. 264-268, an epitome of " The Wreck Register and Chart for 1868," that would be absolutely appalling to examine, only that it is filled, throughout its record of disasters, with incidents suggestive of profound consolation. A portion at least of this Register, we propose giving in another part of our columns at the earliest Her possible opportunity. it relates the old glorious story all over again, but one that Re are never tired of reading about or of commending to the consideration of the public at large. The journal is a periodical appeal of irresistible persuasiveness— commending eloquently to the generosity of the people of England the claims to popular support, preferred by one of the moat heroic and glorious among our national institutions. SELDOM has a week been more full of tragedy than the one which closes this day. From sea and land we have had accounts of distress, danger, and des truction. The " act of God" has overwhelmed many of our bravest men, but we can add, as usual under similar circumstances, that it has called forth heroic deeds and made us more than ever proud of the brave British seamen who never hesitate to risk their lives in attempting the rescue of their fellow-men. Thus it is that the "act of God" is always accompanied by compensations which enable us to recognise " the partial evil, universal good." But far otherwise is it with the evil which comes from the acts of man which we have had to record during the same period. Families mur dered, and wives beaten within an inch of their lives, by their natural protectors, are not circum stances which afford any ground for congratulation except to the lovers of the horrible, who have had no cause to complain of late, for scarcely is one tragedy recorded before another appears to claim attention. The other day, at the Guildhall, Sir Robert Carden had to pronounce judgment on a man of an unusually vindictive disposition. CHARLOTTE JOYCE, the complainant, told a sad tale of ill-usage. Her husband was addicted to drinking, and he constantly beat her. On the last occasion he attacked her with unusual violence. He took off his heavy boot and struck the unfortunate victim several times on the ribs, declaring that he would strike her on the side instead of the face because she could not then shew her wounds. The miserable state of the home was depicted in the complainant's subsequent remarks, in which she said that she had to support the family by her own exertions, but this she did not mind if her husband would only let her alone. Another brutal assault is reported from Sheffield. It was the old,old story of a man coming home on Saturday night the worse for liquor. Of course, under these circumstances, it was easy to pick a quarrel, and accordingly he blamed his wife for not coming to meet him. He was so violent that the poor woman ran out of the house and took refuge with a neighbour. Some time after she returned to the house, when he immediately attacked her again. After throwing her on the ground he kicked her with his hob-nailed boots, inflicting most serious nu uries. It was not until some neighbours had courageously interposed that the unfortunate woman was rescued from her hus band's violence. It was feared at first that she would not recover from the serious injuries she had received, but after a time she became better. In East London, where a whole family was murdered, we find that JUDGE was often in a LIFEBOAT SERVICES. ARKLOW (County Wicklow), Thursday. The screw steamer Hellenis, of London, bound from Naples and Lisbon to Dublin with a general cargo, and having 26 bullocks on deck, grounded yesterday morning on Arklow Bank during a strong gale from W. to W.S.W. (says Dr. Halpin). The Arthur Venables lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched with all dispatch, and proceeded to the stranded vessel through a very high sea and much broken water. The officers and crew of the wreck, twenty-one in number, were takes into .the boat by means of a whip from the fore yardarm. The lifeboat having dropped to leeward about two miles and a half, had a strong pull back to harbour against the heavy gale and tide, but she eventually landed in perfect safety all on board, thirty-six men, includ ing her own crew, and is stated to have behaved very well. The steamer has become a total wreck. The master of the wrecked vessel speaks in the highest terms of the admirable manner in which the coxswain and crew managed the lifeboat under the difficult circumstances they had to encounter. The. Wicklow, Courtown, and Cahore lifeboats which belong to the Lifeboat Society, were also laurchod, with the view of rendering assistance at this wreck, but their services, of course, were not required. The Devon and Somerset stagbounds will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Clouts Liam, and on Friday, Sept. 24, at Haddon, each day, at 10 45.

SUB-AQUATIC TUNNELS, The Builder, in discussing the project of a Channel Tunnel, remarks that tunneling is not an invention of the present century. Tho Romans 2,264 years ego drove the famous Cinissarium through a part of Mount Alba. The gallery of Posilippo is known to every visitor of Naples and the curious system of galleries and caveins known as the Grotto of the Sibyl, date from remote antiquity. A knowledge of the engineering works of ancient Italy migh t have taught our early English engineers something about the science of tunneling. The progress of the tunnel engineer was slow in this country. The canal Tunnels on the Birmingham Railway only admitted a canal boat, which the boatman propelled by lying on his back, and pressing his feet alternately against the roof of the tunnel. The Thames Tunnel was a great achievement in thin direction, as, instead of boring through earth cr chalk, the engineer had to drive through shifting musk Mr Barlow has lately designed a cheap and simple tubular driftway under the bed of the Thames, but the Builder pciats out that this is a very different thing from a struc ture thirty miles long, and at a level of some hundreds cf feet beneath the Straits of Dover. It has been proposed to run a driftway as a preliminary, but the Builder asks, when it has reached the twentieth mile down, how the miners are to be sent in to their daily work. How are they to be supplied with air or with materials, or how will the excavated chalk be sent back to land 1 Galleries in chalk aro infested with choke-damp. How is this to be withdrawn ? The infiltration of water through the chalk would be another most serious obstacle ; and while not condemning the project as impossible, the Builder advises intending subscribers to wait for further information. THE DONCASTER HORSE SALES. For many a long year Doncaster (observes the' Daily News) has been the September Tattersall's of the North country. Time out of mind the horse mart was always in front of the Salutation Inn. The late Mr. Tattersall set up his rostrum there, and, year after year, knocked down the Underley lot. No place could be worse for a sale, as the vehicles raised clouds of dust as they swept by, and the yearlings were kept constantly dancing about by the noise and confusion. The Horse Fair was not much better, and the buyers and sellers were like a mass of "dusty millers" on the St. Leger morning, long before " the last wheel echoed away" towards the Town Moor from the Tickhill and Sheffield road. At last the horse fair grew so dusty, and uncomfortable, that it was named " the Dusthole," to the great indignation of many of the inhabitants who thought it a lovely rural spot, and expressed themselves to that effect. However, the Messrs. Tattersall thought otherwise, so they hired a. field hard by, and liberally granted the free use of it to the other auctioneers. This was in 1866, and the sales have been held there ever since. "The Dusthole," had produced two Oaks winners, both bred by Mr. Cookson, one of them —Mincemeat—which he bought in, and the other, Regalia (720 guineas). Mr. Graham bid 690 guineas for Formosa, and she was bought in for another " termer." Her owner thought of training her, but ho decided not to do so, and sought out Mr. Graham who signed a 700 guinea cheque for her next morning at the breakfast table, and won £20,330 with her in the first two seasons. Pretender was sold at the same spot the next year, for 400 guineas, and Brigantine for 200 guineas; so that the luck has not been lost. There have been no more of old Ferina's sorb since Pretender. Thus a Derby, a St. Leger and an Oaks, and an Oaks winner were sold at Doncaster in 1866-67 ; and Stanley (580 guineas), Frivolity (500 guineas), Morphia (160 guineas), and Mantilla (280 guineas), were all sold on the Thursday of last year. Business was pretty brisk, for anything good or out of a winner, at all prices from 1,200 guineas to 10 guineas during the present week. Mr. Thomas Dawson bought (it is said for Mr. Jardine) the top price Fisherman, by Caterer (an honest slow horse), from a sister to Donna del Lago. The colt came up in Mr. Cookson's lot, but was understood to belong to his neighbour, Mrs. Wilkinson, of Neasham Abbey, and to be called, not after the celebrated racehorse, but after Fisherman, a favourite hound in the Hurworth pack, of which that lady's late husband was the master. It was well known that some good men were after him ; hence Mr. Edmnnd Tattersall prefaced matters by saying that "I hear that this colt is is make a thousand ;" and 500 was the first response. Mr. Dawson also bought a colt by Lord Clifden, out of Ornament, for GOO guineas, as well as three out of Mr. Sadler's lot, two of them by the some horse. The colts by Lord Clifden were gene rally liked, on account of their fine substance, but buyers were rather disappointed with the Adventurers. The Blair Athols were nothing very remarkable ; there were only two by Macaroni, one of them Gondokoro, from the dam of Livingstone, which has lost her knack of throwing winners. Mr. Crowther Harrison brought out two Gladiateurs, a colt and a filly, both of them from Stockwell mares, not very thick, but full of action, and pretty certain to race. The Itataplans were only middling, and the highest priced Thormanby was a filly (•180 guineas), belonging to Sir Tatton Sykes, and from Little Agnes's dam, but still she was rather short, and lacked quality. Sir Tatton's three chestnuts, which averaged 400 guineas, included a couple of Stockwells, the only ones by " the old Hooton horse " that were put up during the week ; as the 200 guinea fee of 1867 seems to have operated as a bar to breeders. The "Flint Jack," so called after a well-known "fossil in ventor" (who is now in gaol for about tho twentieth time), is from a Costerdalo dam, the only one of the old blood which Sir Tatton preservtd. His half-sister, which was bought in for 340 guineas, and sold privately for 3to guineas, was thought to be ono of the handsomest fillies of the week; but she is unfortunately rather "back in her knees." Unlike his father, who once had 117 in his pad docks, Sir Tatton only keeps four brood mares, but he has bred six winners, including Frivolity, Mor phia, Tibthorpe, Bismarck, &c., in three years. Lord Derby's were nearly all by Cape Flyaway, a very truthful tryer when;he was in John Scott's hands. One of them, a filly from Wood Nymph, was a perfect pocket beauty, with a sweet head and on a short leg, but looking more like a model 200-guinea hack than a racer to come. This was not the case with a filly from Star of India, nearly her full sister, for which Mr. Weatherby seemed to have made a wonderful 210-guinea bargain. Lady Colsterdale (280 guineas), a filly with great freedom o action, was the head of the Sheffield-lane lot (which al wore blue frontlets in honour of the stable colourl and Mr. Cookson's Metheglin (500 guineas), from the dam of Kettledrum, seemed dear, as she was very narrow, and, moreover, Hybla's flllios do not seem to run. Clanronald, by Kettledrum (420 guineas), . _ disappointed the public, as a great deal had been said of him. Kettledrum has his spurs to win, and had the colt been by a more popular horse, it would have fetched much higher. There were few more racing -like colte than the half-brother to Stanley, by St. Albans (530 Ti th e *, though the remembrance of Peter, who was equally good-looking, is not encouraging for Mr. Crauford. About 15 yearlings out of 45 were bought in on the first day, 31 out of 46 on the f econd, and 44 out of 54 on the third. Some few, hom e.rer, did not come. As the week drew on breeders began to mode rate their ideas considerably, as the chances of a better private sale became so small. Some were wont to put their yearlings up again on the last day, but this plan suits very ill, as they invariably fetch less than before. We only remember ono instance during the last few years— viz., when a colt was bought in for GOO guineas, and made 20 more at the second time of asking. The inhabitants of Redbourne, Ilerts, who - wen lately offered by the Duke of St Alban's the privilege of selecting their own vicar, have, it is stated, made choice of the Rev. George Godfrey, 111. A., Queen's College, Oxford, now curate of Hinckley, Leicestershire. ARTISANS' DWELLINGS Act.—Tho parochial autho rities of the metropolis are at last beginning to act upon Mr. Torrens's enactment. At a meeting of the Hackney District Board of Works, held on Thursday, Mr. nuntz moved that the houses in Lawrence's-buildings, Wcst Hackney, numbered 1 to 6 and 8 to 11 inclusive, be closed. He remarked that the board had tried every means of bringing the houses into a habitable condition, but without effect. Fever, he said, was continually in the place, and to close up the houses was the only practical remedy to be adopted. Mr. Beck, who seconded the motion, said he had known the place for the last twenty-five years as a hotbed of fever, while the tenants of the houses were gene rally of an abandoned character. Mr. Gowland, who -sup ported the motion, hoped this case might act as a caution to other landlords as to the state of repair in which they kept their houses. The motion was carried, as was aho another for the demolition of a number of cottages in Sandford-lane, West Hackney. At the last meeting of the vestry of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, it was decided that the necessary proceedings should be taken in the ease 4 certain houses in Little Surrey-street, which had been reported by the medical officer as unfit for habitation and langerous to health. Rain has been gel - Kral throughout the country since Thursday, but not heavy, and it is still unsettled, the sea being on Friday moderately calm. As regards the harvest, in the wide agricultural district of the North and East Ridings nothing has boon dono this week owing to con tinned wet—thunderstorms, hailstorms, and tremendous rains. Some of the wold farnlors have most of their corn cut—all in some cases. On the moor farms harvest has only just got nicely staitod.
