Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th Juno, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietor', August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to - say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances aro £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

FREDERIC ANDREW, Secretary, ndon, pept era ber, ioB, NQ• 10 ,.. ,roultrY! Ly .---2-e....---i THE QUAR7ERLY REVIEW. The table of contents of the Quarterly Review bolds out a promise of variety and excellence which is not fully realised on perusal. The political element is far too abun. dant. One political paper, or even more, in the Quarterly is accepted as a matter of course. Nobody objects to be refreshed by a little Conservatism of the good, old, and almost extinct type, especially when it takes the form of a fine article like " The Conservative Surrender." But in the current number there are but two articles out of ten —one on " Earthquakes," and the other entitled "Animals and Plants "—which are wholly free from the political tinge. This is satin et superque. Nor is the quantity accompanied by any compensating excellence of quality. The Toryism of these numerous articles is sufficiently diluted to admit of 'highly advantageous condensation. Some of the papers are good, but the first two are not amonirst these. The reviewer of " Campbell's Lives of Lyndhurst and 13rougliatn" seems to have greatly mistaken his task. In the case of the former Chancellor, instead of noting the chief inaccuracies of the biographer, and then reviewing the life of Lyndhurst as it should be, the article consists of little more than a collection of extracts from Campbell's work, with an assurance at the end of each that it is misrepresented or altogether erroneous—a species of easy writing which becomes the hardest possible reading, even when, as in this case, the strictures are correct. In dealing with Brougham, an attempt is made at a connected review, but the result is very unfair. The writer acknowledges some of Brougham's merits, but enters into detail only respecting his follies and faults. We are informed in a few lines that Brougham was the first to recognise the paramount importance of education ; but whole pages are devoted to anecdotes of his " treachery," of his " manoeuvring " to make the world believe he was dead, his application to become a French citizen, his extraordinary French diction, his kneeling on the woolsack to give eff(itto aspeech. The general impres sion is that Brengliam vas a species of legal mountebank who had greatness thrust upon him, and whose greatness served to render him a more general object of amusement. "The Realities of Irish Life" is an equally disappointing sertiele: The title is hopeful, especially as it is followed by the cheering assurance that we are to hear nothing of the Irish Church. But anything less real than these realities of Irish life could, not well be imagined. The article is devoted to the review of Mr. W. S. Trench's book on the Irish land lord and tenant, and the effect of their characters on the land question. The purport of this impartial work is that the Irish peasant is a hopeless scoundrel ; an idle, waste ful, murdering, treacherous savage, compared with whom an ordinary native of Terra del Fuego is a creditable specimen of the human race. The reviewer tells us that it is impossible to read Mr. Trench's book without arriving at far clearer notions of the land question ; but, in truth, nothing can be more mystifying than this model produc. tion. Amongst other mild remedies for Irish discontent, " kind treatment " is recommended after several pages of extracts to prove that the Irish peasant is insensible to kind treatment. Then we are vaguely informed of the advisability of removing every "distinct injustice," but we are directly afterwards told that the peasant labours under but one distinct injustice—liability to summary eviction, and to do anything more than reform in this direction would be dangerous. But this is not enough ; there is a further proviso that " such cases (i,e., summary evictions) occur but seldom." If a few summary evictions produce a character as is here attributed to the Irishman, the " Realities of Irish Life" need never have been written. The case is hopeless. The remedies suggested are admirably calculated to deal with the Irish difficulty—. as it has been dealt with hitherto. It by no means follows that an Irish land-agent is well qualified to pronounce upon the land question, any more than a Dorsetshire farmer is the proper person to consult on the grievances and necessities of the agricultural labourer. After these two articles we come to humano cultu digniora loca. The paper on " Earthquakes " is decidedly in season, and is interesting. The chronicle of the disasters which have become so frequent of late is very 'com plete, and the philosophical investigation highly interesting, though it stops short, as usual, at the great question, the causes of earthquakes. An article on Mr. Gladstone's " Chapter of Autobiography" again brings us within the political domain, but with very different results. It is a pleasure to read this short review of Mr. Gladstone's book. It is written with great ability, and with an extreme fairness which is rarely indeed shewn to Mr. Gladstone by his political opponents. But the writer fails in his most important point. He is not disposed to dispute that hitherto the Irish Church has failed, but he argues that it has not had fair play. It is but five-and-thirty years since the tithe was converted into a rent-charge, and the space is too brief to admit of results. " The race of men who in their youth saw the tenth haycock, the tenth sheaf, the tenth pig carted from the field or cabin of the Catholic peasant into the farmyard of the Protestant rector, and who sought to prevent the irritating seizure, has not yet had time to die out." Surely this is admitting the whole question. The difference between rent-charge and tithe cannot be the difference between failure and success. If the Church failed under the latter condition, it cannot have, and it has not had, much success under the former. For the substantial grievance of the tithe still remains, only its direction and form are changed. If the one be admitted as an injury, it is puerile to claim the other as justice. Nevertheless, this paper is thoroughly deserving of attention as a just expo. sition of the Conservative view, and its termination is a really fine piece of writing. A severe attack upon the ultra-ritualists follows, the subject being treated ex plicitly from the Church Association point of view. The writer has succeeded in persuading himself that the judg ment of the Privy Council has been generally received as equitable and satisfactory. A fair and impartial review of Lord Liverpool's Life and Times comes next. Though Prime Minister during the most momentous period in the history of England, or indeed of the world, Lord Liverpool was but one of the minor characters of his time. Hence he is both underrated and overrated. With respect to the Peninsular war, the writer in the Quarterly falls somewhat into the latter error ; but, on the whole, his estimate of Lord Liverpool's effect upon his age is just. The "Efficiency of the Navy" contains too much of the partisan element. The burden of this short paper is that the Con servative Ministry found the British navy inferior to that of France, and left it at least its equal. Incidental to this great proposition is an extraordinary piece of calculation, by which that famous proceeding—the selling of old ships and the repurchasing the copper for a sum exceeding the amount received for the entire vessel—is established as not only justifiable, but as absolutelyprofi table. Th ewriter argues that the vessel is a copper mine imbedded in decaying timber, and that the buyer of the obsolete ship is paid for extracting the metal. Such a theory could be sustained only on the ground that nothing in the ship was valuable except the copper, and it would be difficult to justify it even then. "Politics as a Profession " has excited con siderable attention. The writer despondently complains that certains classes are excluded from Parliament who tOO o ugh g t r t e o at be represente d ,force—railway directors ,a an d dt e h e taotra being other others arc his especialpresentin horror. Of the truth of this proposition there can be little doubt ; and as the non-represented classes are for the most part excluded because Parliamentary contests are too costly, the only remedy is to cheapen the means of access to the Legislative Chamber. The second proposition contains less ground for apprehension. It is to the effect that as a man may more readily wield poli tical influence by means of the press out of the House of Commons, and as this indirect influence is really the most potent, so politics are becoming less recognise , ' as aprofes t : sion. The writer seems to have ov erlooked one vita l . p o o e i n n oo The great majority of the class w hich seeks politi cal influence 10 boryntoheinperuesesneaendwhotaltieevrer; indirectwherenais eans form e rly the c e once ruled the country, stil l hold much politi the po ne e w r . „ though they have been o bli g ed to share i t with h r c . l e a a s h ad little d s : 14 h n ew body, whilst the are a as i t formerly was — one excep. comers.
