EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON. Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 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. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUIT, 1868.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £109,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. ad. 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 £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 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 5-1 , per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

General SCHOFIELD'S evidence before the Military Committee of the Congressional Representatives is worth attention in England. That officer is the Secretary of War, and the work before the Com mittee was to obtain materials to instruct the House in the means of working most effectively the mili tary forces of the United States at the lowest cost. Now this is precisely the problem before the British Government; and the evidence and opinions of such celebrated and experienced officers as Gen. SCHO FIELD and of men taught in the practical school of war, such as the chiefs of the Pay Department, Commissariat Department, and Quartermaster's Department, should be closely scrutinized by English statesmen. The evidence hitherto has been to advise the consolidation ire() one of all these de- partments, also the Ordnance and Artillery Bureaux with the Engineer Corps and the Coast Sarvey. The officers of the United States who know most of these matters seem . to concur in this recommen dation, startling as it may be to English officials. The gist, however, of the Genet.Ca evidence will make the hair of the Admiralty, NV ar-offic,?, and Ilorse Guards, wherever hair grows there, rise up in horror—for he says war is one thing, not two, and should be controlled by a single official only, both for the army and the navy, each branch being under the direction of a professional officer, that for the land by a General, and for the sea by an Admiral. In a few words, what he pro poses is but one Secretary of State for War, and the principle to be'recognized that whoever com mands, whether it be fleets operating with troops against forts, or a General fighting a battle on shore aided by gunboats, that the whole should be a single, not a divided command. He did not be lieve in army and navy co-operation in war, hold ing that they were more' likely to work at cross purposes than to pull together. This is not the opinion of a novice, but of a war-worn veteran who has distinguished himself in many ways. Even Washington was startled by the boldness of such a military reform, but its plain, practical sense re commends it to the people. Those who know any thing of the English system must fully acknowledge that there is no other country that more requires such a unification. The machinery for setting in motion the war power of the kingdom is as cumber some, complicated, and ineffective as ages of old work patched' and abuses could make it. There is no use in adding a wing to the War-office or a storey to the Horse Guards, making the former one-sided and the other top-heavy, or scooping out a base ment for ballast in the building where the Lords of the Admiralty gather, while a head is what is wanted. There is not a man in England who can accurately define the respective powers of the Secretary of State for War and the Commander in -Chief, nor of their relations to the Admiralty, nor the connection when they come together, of the Navy and Army. The Minister of War scarcely knows for what he is responsible to Parliament, but he does know that he is responsible for much over which he has little control. There is but one ad vantage the system possesses. When an office seeker asks for a commission, or a post in connec tion with the army, he or she (more generally "she" than " he") is met at the Horse GUards by the de claration that they have nothing to do with that, it is under the control of the War-office. Off goes the unfortunate applicant to the War-office, where he is told that they have nothing to do with it, as the arrangement rests with the Horse Guards. If he persists, the chances are he eventually finds his way into the Treasury, where he is " promptly ditched." Mr. BRIGHT, in his now celebrated speech at Fishmongers' Hall, declared that his office, the Board of Trade, was oue of advice, not of action; that the other. departments were always sending to his for advice, which, when given, they never took. Now, this is the condition existing be tween the War-office and the Horse Guards. They are Boards for advising each other, both exemplify ing the good old British system of "How no t to do it." If Mr. BRIGHT really saw his way to a reduction of £20,000,000 a year in the national expenditure of the United Kingdom he must have seen the plan proposed by Gen. SCHOFIELD, as applicable to Eng land, for it is only by such sweeping reforms a saving so enormous could be effected. A Minister of State controlling the war forces of the country and responsible to the nation is what Gen. SCHOFIELD aims at, with a single great office, over one wing of which presides the General in control of the Army, and over the other the Admiral in control of the Navy, each with its various Departments. The two chief savings would be in expenditure and in unity cf action, which mean economy and efficiency. War is one thing, not two, and should be the business of one responsible Minister, with a head of the land force on one side, and a head of the sea force on the other. The whole plan of action would then be before the individual chosen for the purpose, and around his table would sit not only the chiefs of the two great branches, but the heads of the depart ments which work each. The Minister could then go from such a Council to a Cabinet meeting, not to wrangle with the Secretary of another department, but to lay before his colleagues the full and com prehensive combined plan of action, and when it re ceived the sanction of the Executive his nod would set the whole into motion. Can any person say that this is not at least reasonable, nor that only, for it is emphatically the plan by which despotic Go vernments work ? It is in copying a part, but not the whole, by which such countries as the United States and the United Kingdom make a muddle of their military departments. An Emperor is always himself the War-Chief we alvonte, arranging and controlling the whole strength of the nation, which he sets into motion at a word. We copy the de- partmeuts, but not the unity of action by which they are worked. The sooner the Anglo-Saxon race adopts for war purposes, the Russian, the French, the German principle, so far as the respec tive constitutions of their countries will permit, the . better it will be for both nations, not only as a matter of retrenchment, but as a matter of efficiency ; and we would urge on the attention of Mr. CARDWELL the advisability of procuring from the United States, if Congress does not object, a copy of the evidence tendered before the Military Committee.---ilnglo- A nierican 1 imes. Mr. Nelson has introduced a resolution into the Tennessee Senate to amend the State constitution by strik ing out the word " male," which will vest the suffrage as well in the women of the State. The preamble to this resolution asserts that woman should bo the equal of man before the laws and before the world, as she is before God; that justice is the highest ex pediency, and that universal suffrage should be the inalienable right of every law-abiding individual capable of an independent national choice ; that representation should accompany taxation, and that woman, like man, when arraigned for an infraction of the laws, should have the right of a trial by her peers.
