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. the income of the year, it will be seen, amounts t £540,499 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 be 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 on 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 regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. DR.

Whenever GARIBALDI has taken a pen in his hand it may be very safely said that he has made an ass of himself. His rhetoric is all rant and rhodomontade. When armed with a sword JOSEPH GARIBALDI has, time and again, shown himself to be a hero, equally by sea and by land, like the Admiral-Generals of the reign of ELIZABETH. Bat, exchanging that sword for a goose quill, his capacities have always seemed to dwindle down to the level of the bird from which the latter was plucked. It is still more remarkable in regard to one who, as a politician, sympathises per haps as heartily as any one among all his contem poraries with GARIBALDI, we mean VICTOR HUGO, that alternately, by means of the pen, he has covered himself with glory and with ridicule. The greatest living poet of France, one of the greatest living poets in Europe, VICTOR HUGO, is at the same time one of the feeblest, one of the most spiteful, and one of the most hysterical of politicians. His " Napol6on le Petit" and his " Chatiments," but especially his " Napoldon le Petit," seemed written, not with a pen dipped in ink, but with the dagger of a mannikin dipped in vitriol. His voice at these times seems to rise into a scream. He is simply shrill and incoherent. A master of eloquence both in prose, and verse, in re gard to themes in no way affecting the political situation of the time in which he himself lives, VICTOR HUGO can never touch upon anything in the re motest degree relating to the latter but what he at once becomes wildly incomprehensible and utterly ridiculous. Ho has " the gesticulations of the Sibyl without the inspiration." The dramatist who has given to the world " Her nark," " Cromwell," " Marion de Lorene, „ " Le Roi d'Amuse," " Marie Tudor," " Ruy Blas," " Lucrece Borgia" and " Les Burgeous"—the Novelist of "Notre Dame," of "Les Miserables," of "Les Travail leurs de la Mer"—the exquisite lyrist, the admirable author of " Odes and Ballads," has nevertheless, at intervals, and that not unfrequently, penned political effusions so full of absurdity, bombast, and egregious fatuity, that again and again he has rendered him self and his position before the world abso lutely preposterous. It is, as if at these times, APOLLO were grinning through a horse-collar, or performing on a penny-whistle. Born at Besancon on 2Gth of February, 1802' VICTOR HUGO is now far advanced in his sixty-eighth year, and is, therefore, one might pre sume, old enough to know better than to degrade himself and his indisputably resplendent ge.lius by a repetition of these most fantastic performances. That such is not the case with him, however, the Journal des Debats has, just now, rather painfully, demon strated. In the columns of that journal there has appeared a letter, addressed by VICTOR HUGO to the members of a certain League of Peace and Liberty about to assemble at Lousanne. It is not the Three Tailors of Tooley-street, who are addressing themselves to the world at large—it is the possessor of one of the greatest intellects now living addressing himself to the Three Tailors of Tooley-street. The letter is the merest drivel throughout. It might al most have been written by GARIBALDI. It is alter nately a blatant roar and a strident shriek. Listen to the Giant Poet turned into the Dwarf Politician : —" Fellow Citizens of the United States of Europe" —he roars you, like any sucking dove or unweened gander—" Permit me to call you so, for the European Federal Republic is founded de jure, and will soon exist de facto. You place its existence on record by your union—a sketch of unity—you are the begin ning of a great future. You confer upon me the hono rary chairmanship of your congres3. This touches ino greatly. Your congress is something more than a meeting of intellects—it is a kind of editorial com mittee for the drawing up of the future tables of the law. An Wee can only exist on the condition of its representing the mob ; you are that elite. You inti mate to those whom it concerns that war is a bad thing ; that murder, even when it is glorious, boast ful, and royal, is infamous; that human blood is precious ; that life is sacred : A solemn summons ! That a last war is necessary, alas ! I am not among those that deny it. What will that war be ? A war of conquest. What have we got to conquer ? Liberty. The first duty of man, his first want, his first right, is liberty. Civilisation invincibly tends to bring about unity of language, unity of weights and measures, unity of coin, and the fusion of nations into humanity, which is supreme unity. The synonymous term for concord is simplification ; in the same way the synonymous term for wealth and life is circulation. The first of servitudes is a frontier. When a man talks of a frontier he means a fetter (ligature). Cut the fetter, blot out the frontier, remove the Custom-house man, cut away the sol dier; in other words, be free : peace follows ; and a real, thorough peace henceforth, a peace once for all, an inviolable peace, the normal condition of labour, of exchange, of supply and demand, of pro duction and consumption, of the vast effort in com mon, of attraction, of manufactures, of the going and coming of ideas, of the human flood and ebb. Who has any interest in keeping up frontiers ? The Kings, who divide in order to reign. A frontier im plies a sentry-box, a sentry-box implies asoldier. 'No thoroughfare'—on ne passe pas, that is the watchword of all privileges, prohibitions, censorship, tyrannies. That frontier, that sentry-box, that soldier, are the source of every calamity that affects mankind. The King, being an exception, requires to protect himself ; the soldier, in his turn, requires murder in order to live. . Kings want armies, and armies want war. Otherwise there is no reason why they should exist. A strange thing—man consents to destroy man without knowing why or wherefore. The art of des pots consists in dividing the people in halves, and making one of those halves into an army. One half oppresses the other. There are numberless pretexts for war ; but only one cause—the army. Suppress the army, you do away with war. But how can you sup - press the army ? By suppressing despotism. See how all things are connected with each other ! Abolish parasitism' in all its shapes—civil lists, well-paid do nothingisms, salaried clergies, remunerated judge ships, aristocratic sinecures, gratuitous concessions of public buildings, permanent armies ; blot out all that, and you make Europe a present of ten thou sand millions a year. This one stroke of the pen solves the problem of pauperism. Thrones object to this simplification—hence a forest of bayonets. Kings are all agreed on one point—to eternise war. People fancy that they quarrel —no such thing ; they are merely helping each other ; they supply the sol dier with his raison d'être. To eternise war is to eternise despotism ; it is capital logic, but ferocious logic. The Kings exhaust their patient —the people—by bleeding him. There is a fierce fraternity of swords, whence the enslaving of men. Therefore, let us go straight at the goal, - which I have called somewhere or other the reabsorption of the soldier by the citizen. The day when that recovery of possession shall have taken place, when the people will not have beside itself that hostile brother, the soldier, will be one ; it will feel itself whole, loving, twice stronger in body and soul ; and civilisation will mean harmony and labour, and peace will grow as light does, by the ascend ing of the star—the star is liberty ! Let us, then, raise the cry of Liberation,' which ,settles everything. Citizens and brothers, 1 send you my lenterCilllelaS Cilia and my cordial acquiescertve." And this—ye gods !—is VICTOR Fluoo? This is the creator of Quasimodo and of Esmeralda, the deli neator of Jean Valjean, the limner of Hans of Ice land, of Bug Jargal—No ! it is the water of " Na poleon to Petit"—it is, as one may say, the last " tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, sig nifying nothing !" THE operation of the Factory Acts, with their supplement, the Workshops pct of 1807, is not an unchequered success ; but, on the whole, the influence of these measures must be pronounced decidedly favourable. The reports of the Factory Inspectors prove clearly that the interference of the Legislature with the employment of young children has put an end to much oppression, and has contributed greatly to the spread of education in the manufacturing districts. Many Acts of Parliament become worthless through the hostility or evasion of those whose interests are affected, but this is not the case with the Factory Laws. The inspectors everywhere meet with " the most ready and anxious desire in all quarters to carry out the factory regulations fairly and fully." Very few prosecutions occur, and these are of little importance. It is creditable to manufacturers that the attempts to evade the law are remarkably rare ; that they are mostly found willing to fence their moving machinery so as to prevent accidents, and, in cases where they employ young children, to see that the regulations respecting school attendance be com plied with. One result is, however, in some degree to be deplored. The effect of these measures has been to reduce the number of young children who find employment. The general tonour of the Factory Acts, we need hardly remark, was to enjoin a maximum of labour in the case of boys and girls under 13, and to stipulate that they should divide their time between work and school. The employers make few attempts to evade the law ; but they are in many cases unwilling to engage children for whom they are responsible. They earnestly support schools, and respect the Acts, but they clear their own esta blishments of all " half-timers." It is unlawful for them to employ children in one week unless they have attended school in the preceding week ; and this is a responsibility which they think ought to fall on the parents. When the first Factory Act was passed, there was a great falling off, and though the number of half timers has since increased, it is still comparatively small. This is unfortunate, for there are some occu pations which are suitable to young children ; but it is not an unmixed evil. It is, at all events, better that boys and girls under thirteen should not work at all than that they should be subject to the wrongs —the excess of labour and deprivation of edu cation—which preceded the Factory Acts. Still it would be preferable that the children should bring a little into the family exchequer, and get their schooling at the same time; and the inspectors have given much attention to the means of increas ing the number of half-timers. Their remarks on this part of the subj ect are very curi ous and interesting. The leading stipula tion of the Factory Acts was that parents should keep their children at school for three hours daily on five days of the week. On Monday morn ing the employer had to ascertain whether this demand had been complied with, which he did by referring to the " school certificate book," a register kept by the schoolmaster and sent to the works every Monday. If it proved that any child had not attended the required time the employer was not allowed to give him work during that week. The offender was sent back to school to make up his lost time. Nothing could be easier than to carry out this routine; but, though simple enough, it was incon venient to the masters. They could have no know ledge of what was going on at school until the Monday morning, when they were confronted by the certificate-book, and obliged to send away all de faulters. It is clear that the rejection of half-a-dozen children might involve a very awkward obstruction in some part of the manufactory. The inspectors devised a plan , for overcoming this difficulty by informing the employers every day of the children's non-attendance at school. The schoolmasters, who energetically co-operate in carrying out the Factory Acts, send daily the names of all absentees to the manager or overlooker of the mill, and the defaulter is at once ordered from his work to school, the employer thus losing one clay's work only instead of five. This arrangement appears troublesome, and so it undoubtedly is for a time. But the difficulty does not last long, and for an excellent reason. The parents, who are really to blame for the non-attendance of their children, lose a day's wages whenever a defaulter is rejected at the mill. This sharp penalty speedily brings about reform. Regular attendance soon becomes the rule. There can be no doubt, however, that this system really amounts to compulsory education, though it may be, as the inspectors say, a compulsion into which people are not driven but "slide." " They unconsciously find themselves in it, and are satisfied when they begin to see the benefits it confers." Unquestion ably ; but surely here is an end of the much talked of non-intervention between parent and child. Com pulsory education cannot be regarded as a new thing whilst a system of this kind is in full play. More than. this, the inspectors are all well satisfied with its operation ; they believe that it will have some effect in increasing the number of half-timers, and its good influence in improving the quality of the education given to the children is beyond doubt. Indeed, the result of these stringent regulations is regarded as so excel lent that much consideration is given to the pro priety of extending their influence. At present children in workshops and those in factories are treated by two different Acts in different ways. Factory children must attend school a certain time each day, for five days in the week ; those employed in workshops are, under the Workshops Act, required to give ten hours attendance in - the week, without reference to days. Many of these go to school two days for five hours each and then work full time the rest of the week. This is unsatisfactory. The intention of the Legislature is not secured, the education of these children is defective, and much dissatisfaction is created amongst those who, under the Factory Acts, are subject to more rigid restric tions. The inspectors' remedy is not to relax, but to strengthen. They have got in the thin edge of the compulsory wedge, and they uphold the policy of driving it further. It need only be added that he Workshop Act i n genera l wor ks less satisfactorily than the Factory acts, and that the inspectors pro pose to cure the e v il b y ass i m il a ting the former mea sure to the latter, and by widening the sphere of its influence. Very few additional coast disasters were reported yesterday, but from foreign ports intelligence was received of several wrecks. From Boick-sur-Mer it is reported that the English barque Paragon, of Newcastle, and bound to Shields, was driven ashore on Monday and was totally wrecked. Eight of the crew—six men and two boys—were drowned. The Golden Fleece, which foundered near Scilly, has parted in the middle. A telegram from Arklow (Ire land) says the steamship llillerus (Emmerson, master) was on Arklow Bank at 4.30 on Wednesday morning. The cargois from Lisbon and Naples to Dublin and Glasgow. On Wednesday Mr. W. Cunliffe Brooks addressed a large meeting of electors and non-electors of East Cheshire at Macclesfield. lie met with an enthusiastic reception, and the expression of his opibions was received with great cordiality. A number of questions were asked and answered, and a resolution was adopted to the effect that the meeting considered lir. Brooks a fit and proper person to represent the division in Parliament. The Levant Herald of Sept. 8 confirms the accounts already received of the Grand Vizier's rejoinder to the Vice roy, although the publication of the text is still withhold. The Herald adds that the Viceroy objects to the two condi tions respecting the Egyptian budgets and foreign loans, as he considers they trench on his rights, and ho postpones hie ♦isit to Constantinople until these points are settled. William Butler was again brought up on remand before the Lancaster bench, on Wednesday, on the charge of forging the name of a Lieutenant in the 17th Lancers to a promissory note for £1,500 with intent to defraud Messrs. llenuings and Co., bill discounters, of London. The pri soner was committed to take his trial at the next Lancaster assizes. THE FOREIGN OFFICE. The Foreign Office agencies have, the Pall Mall Gazette says, ceased to exist—at least in their original and moat objectionable form. Mr. Alston, the chief clerk, and Mr. Bidwell have handed over their agencies to Mr. Stavely on an agreement that the lat ter gentleman is to pay Messrs. .Alston and Bidwell a considerable sum annually; and Mr. Stavely has resigned his post in the Foreign Office as head of the French department. There are, therefore, no longer clerk-agents actually in the Foreign Office, Mr. Stavely having resigned his official appointment and as sumed the duties of a private agent for his clients and for the late clients of Mr. Alston and Mr. Bidwell. The suspicion of improper influences at work in regard to appointments and promotions will, however, never cease until all pecuniary connection between Foreign Office clerks and these agencies is entirely put an end to. THE SECRETARY OF THE OVEREND .A.A I D CO.'S 'SHAREHOLDERS COMMITTEE. Mr. Registrar LTazlitt had before him on Thursday the case of Oswald Howell, ihe bankrupt was late accountant to Overend and Co. estate, and also afterwards secretary to Overend and Co.'s Shareholders Committee. He was described as an accountant, of 34, King•street, Cheapside, and now of no occupation. His debts amounted to about £3,433, and he ascribed his liabilities to having become security to Mr. Lyle for a large amount. The creditors had now come upon him. There were liabilities on bills of exchange, and one to the Protection Company to the amount of £3OO odd. The bankrupt, together with Dr. Thom, who was so active in the Overend, Gurney, and Co. prosecution, was one of the complainants in an indictment for libel, preferred on Wednesday before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House. This was a first examination, and for the choice of assignees. The choice had been adjourned by Mr. Registrar Hazlitt from the 2nd inst., for the pur pose of enabling Dr. Thom to adduce further evidence in support of a proof tendered for £OOO as co-trustee of the fund in the course of being raised for carrying on proceedings against Overend, Gurney, and Company, which has since been satisfied, and, there fore, th e proof was expunged by consent. After the ad admission of several proofs, Mr. Alfred Kitley, of Lawrence-lane, merchant, was appointed creditors' assignee, and the 26th of November next was f. xecl for the examination and discharge sitting to be held before Mr. Commissioner Winslow, to which time the bankrupt was granted renewed protection from arrest.. AN UNUSUAL " CIIURCHING." On Wednesday forenoon, a large number of nailers— male and female—met at Hales Owen, and, having formed in procession, marched through the principal streets of the borough to the parish church, where a thanksgiving service was held, in consequence of the happy termination of the nailers' strike. There were about 1.000 persons present, a large number of whom were women. The sermon was preached by the Yen. Archdeacon Hone, rector of Hales Owen. The text was taken from the 12th chapter of Ist Corinthians, the 26th verse "And whether one member suffer, all members suffer with it, or one member be honoured, all members rejoice with it." The Ven. Archdeacon went on to say that he believed that the day might be regarded among them as a day of good tidings ; and they had done well to desire to assemble together in the house of Almighty God, to manifest towards Him their thankfulness for the mercy vouchsafed towards them at that time. Looking back a little time in that place he could remember that many of those present had been called upon to go through a great many trials, and many of them had even had to feel, both in their own persons and in their families, what it was to want a sufficient supply of wholesome food. He was sure that many had suffered with them, and felt deeply for them in these circumstances. There were the tradesmen, for instance, who had suffered with them. Many of them had given to persons whom they believed they could trust the necessities of life, and he hoped that it would not be a matter of complaint among trades men, now that better times were come, that those whom they had trusted made no effort to pay them. It had been so before, but he hoped nothing of that kind would be heard this time. Many of the straight forward masters, too, had suffered with them, and he urged upon them not to encourage those wtho carried on the truck system, and who asked them to take goods of bad quality at a high price and of short weight instead of wages for their work. It was that system which tended to lower their wages, and which led to these un happy strikes. A Scotch gentleman puts the postage-stamp the wro..g way upon his letters, and calls it with a tender feeling—turning a penny. There are watering-places for flirting, like Scar borough ; places for talking scandal, like Brighton ; places for romping, like Margate ; for gambling, like Baden ; but as to St. Lecuard's, it is merely a place for mild starving. Everybody stares at everybody else—across the shingle, along the esplanade, up at the verandahs, down from the windows, it is staring, staring, nothing but staring. The dispute in the building trade in Manchester appears likely to be continued throughout the winter. In order to settle the difficulty, the operative masons agreed to accept wages at the rate of 30s. a week of 48f hours, but tho masters, at a numeroosly attended meeting, have de clined the offer, and have resolved not to employ mon "but on the terms that have been adopted during the last few months." It haying been reported to the Queen that the annual prize of twenty-five guineas, given for the last eight years in the name of the late Prince Consort, through the Society of Arts, had been three times obtained by the City of London College for Young Men, and for the last two years by the Polytechnic Evening Classes, her Majesty has been graciously pleased to present copies of " The Early Years of H.R.11. the late Prince Consort," and " Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands," to each of those societies. Artemis Ward once lent money. He tlin.9 recounts the transaction :—" A gentleman friend of mine came to me one day with tears in his eyes. He said, Why these weeps ?' He said he had a mortgage on his farm, and wanted to borrow £2OO. I lent him the money and he wont away. Some time after he returned with more tears. Ho said he must leave me for ever. I ven tured to remind him of the £2OO he borrowed. Ho was much cut up : I thought I would not be hard upon him— so told him I would throw off £lOO. He brightened— shook my hand—and said, Old friend, I won't allow you to outdo me in liberality—l'll throw off the other hundred !" RARE FOSSIL FOUND TEAR, BRADFORD.-- William Firth, miner, of Dudley-hill, near Bradford, while at work in a coal mine at Toftshaw, recently discovered fragments of bones in the roof of the black bed coal. Tho pieces were carefully united, and on being submitted to Professor Huxley, he pronounced the remains to be those of a now batrachian, constituting a new genus and species, to which he proposes to attach the name of pholiderpeton scutiyerum, and has fully described it in the Geological Journal. The specimen, which is one of the most com plete fossils, is nearly six feet long, and has been purchased for and placed in the museum of the Bradford Philosophi cal Society. Every now and then an unpublished letter or other document gives us a glimpse of the sad state of poli tical corruption which prevailed in the last century. Here is an extract from a petition from the Earl of Chesterfield (the author of the " Letters " ) to his Majesty George 111., to raise his pension to £3,000 a year, " and if made of gold the more agreeable." It is in the Earl's handwriting, and occupies three pages folio : in it the petitioner declares him self "ready to support the worst measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers," and, if refused, to use "the utmost acrimony " against the best measures his Majesty himself "can ever propose or promote." And this is the man whose " Letters " are looked upon by many as a code of political and social morality ! A WONDERFUL ENGINEERING OPERATION.—In the work of straightening and widening some of the very crooked streets of Boston it became necessary to move a huge building known as " Hotel Pelham." This building is of freestone, 06 feet high, and weighs ten thousand tons. It was moved 14 feet in three days, by means of rollers and screws, a portion of the side walk being also moved with it. So carefully and well was the work done that not a crack was made in the building, and nothing in it was at all disturbed. Large crowds of people watched the process, .snd the fastest time accomplished was two inches in four .ninutes. A large bank building adjoining the hotel was used to brace the screws against. A great number of these screws, twenty-one incises long, were employed. Twenty five thousand dollars were paid the contractor for moving the hotel. At the metropolitan Court of Common Council yes terday Mr. Deputy Atkins asked the chairman of the Markets' Committee whether the foot and mouth disease prevailed to any extent among the cattle in the Metropolitan Cattle Market, and if so, what steps had been taken to prevent the spread of the disease ? Mr. Sowell said the disease had ap peared to some extent in the market, but during the last week or ten days the number of animals affected had very much decreased. Arrangements hitd boon made , at the market for polling affected 0411talp iieParik tiliftcf tbQ . . tgarket• DEPOTS FOR THE SAYE DEPOSIT OF SECURITIES. There was recently much discussion in England about thc, deposit of securities with bankers. Until recently it hat' been thought that bankers were liable for the loss of them. A recent decision showed that they were not so, that bondf stolen from a banker's strong room had not to be replaoee by them, but the owner had to bear the robbery. In Eng• land the discussion did dot excite near so much interest at in America. In this country bank robberies are rare—sc rare that tho proposal to have a Bond Security Association has met with very little support But in England even many bond-holders began to take cart of their own papers. In America, however, nearly every body began to remove their papers, with a result told it an interesting letter from New York to the Daily News, The correspondent writes :—" In obedience to the great law of supply and demand, with the multiplication of bonds there arose a largo band of thieves, specially devoted to the work of stealing bonds, and now well known to the public as a distinct profession, called 'bond robbers' I think lam within bounds when I say that they have during the last seven years relieved the lawful owners in this city of transferable securities to the value of a million sterling. They have performed some very remarkable exploits in what is known as the "butchers cart game." In that two or three confederates cruise along the streets, towards the opening or close of business hours, in a light butcher's cart, with a fast trotting horse; they see a porter or clerk walk ing along with a tin box ; perhaps they have watched him from his bank or counting-house—in the full confidence in spired by the presence of crowds of his fellows-citizens, and the presumptive nearness of the police. They drive rapidly up beside him ; one of the gang descends, knocks hire clown by a smart blow in the eyes, perhaps peppers him profusely at the same moment, flings his box into the cart, and off they go at the rate of a mile in three minutes, and are out of sight before the bystanders have fairly begun to comprehend the nature of the transaction. This has led, of course, to extra precautions, and now no clerk or porter goes to and fro in the streets alone with a box in his hand ; he has a companion, and the two are apt to 156 armed. But the thieves were not foiled. They followed the bonds into the offices and counting-houses, and some of their most tremendous strores have actually been per in the offices of bankers and brokers in the middle of the day, during business hours, and in the presence of the clerks. They go in in couples, or trios, having of course previously reconnoitered the ground; one or two to distract attention by a pretence of business, while another calmly walks up to the safe, draws the securi ties from it, and goes out with them, the employes not noticing him. This may seem incredible, but it has been done over and over again. In the famous Lord case, two years ago, nearly 300,000 dollars worth of Government bonds were taken out of an office in this way, and nearly a similar amount in the Royal Insurance Company's case. In neither, I believe, was there the Slightest proof or suspi cion of complicity on the part of the clerks. Each was simply an illustration of the art of distracting attention, to which the success of so many jugglers' tricks is due, carried to the highest point. "The general alarm and anxiety caused by this state of things called into existence what we call ' Safe Deposit Companies,' of which nearly every large city has now two or three. There are two at least in New York. They are corporations chartered by the State Legislature, for the safe keeping of valuables, and offering as a guarantee to depositors unlimited liability on the part of the directors and stockholders. Of course it is a prime requisite that the directors should be men of high standing both as regards wealth and character, and they are. I may take one with the working of which I am personally acquainted, as a sample of all of them. Its premises are in the basement of a fire-proof building in Broadway, the offices occupying the front, and its vaults, all lined with iron, extending some ' distance back, with the usual defences in the shape of double iron gates, patent locks,! and so forth. Each of these passages is lined, from the floor up as high as a man can reach, with small iron safes or closets of various sizes, in which tin boxes containing valuables can be placed. These safes are rented only by the company, at prices varying from £2 to £8 a year, according to size ; the hirer keeps the key, of which there is no duplicate, and over the keyhole lies another lock, or stopper, of which the company keeps the key. At night the gas is kept bril liantly lighted, rendering every part of the premises, in cluding the passages in the vaults—for they are closed by gates, and not solid doors—visible from the street; two watchmen keep watch and ward within, and two with out, and to obtain access to the vaults, the combination of three different persons—the president, secretary, and safe keeper—is necessary. The company does not offer any legal guarantee for the safety of what is placed in these . safe. As they have no knowledge of what is kept in them, to offer to become liable for the contents would, of course, expose them to innumerable fraudulent claims, and a combination amongst the principal officers undoubtedly might bring about a robbery. Should you, however, not wish to hire a safe, and desire to have the company liable for the safe keeping of your property, you have simply to take your bonds, or stock, or other property down and present them, and take a receipt for them, and pay one dollar a thousand per annum on their nominal value, and the company will charge itself with their safe custody, will deliver them to you on de mand, and will, if you desire it, collect the interest or divi dends on them, and forward to you." A young lady explained to her inamorato the dis tinction between printing and publishing, and at the con clusion of her remarks, by way of illustration, she said, " You may print a kiss on my cheek, but you must not publish it." Mdlle. Pauline Lucca has addressed a letter to 11Idlle. Nilsson, after hearing her sing the other day at Baden-Baden, in which she says :—" I am charmed with you ; it is not possible to be more dramatic, to sing better. Once more, ma chore, you have been sublime, am! I rejoice greatly at this opportunity of saying so." A SCOTCH IDEA OF PATRONAGE. —There died, not a generation ago, a well-known pawky old Scots mem ber, who used to say that the proper time for asking an appointment from a Minister was just before a critical division. Instances are told of his pressing a little too closely on the division—as, for example, when the Minister is striding through the lobby full of the memorable speech he is to deliver for victory or an illustrious fall. The sedulous member walks alongside of hire mumbling his queries whether that matter of the tide waitership at Dumdurum has been settled yet. Th - Minister cannot attend to such business until the great question is decided, and ends the colloquy, as ho supposes, with " And of course, Mr. , we count on your vote." Mr. cannot honestly leave such an impression. "The .act is, Mr. Cawning, I am so concerned for the fate of that puir faitherless laddie, that really, unless I feel some assurance, I cannot get my mind into a proper train for considering so large a question." PROFANITY IN THE PULPIT.—An American paper says that, much as the pulpit censures profanity, it is sometimes guilty of the same sin. It refers, in proof, to a recent lecture, by a reverend gentleman, on " Mud," based on the text, " Prepare ye the way of the Lord ; " to another sermon, preliminary to a summer vacation, from the words, "I go a fishing ; " to a third, addressed to fast young men, from the words, "Let her drive." Such perversion of Scripture by those who have been set apart to defend, unfold, and enforce it, cannot be too strongly condemned. We know of hardly anything more calculated to bring the Word of God into contempt. It is undoubted profanity. It is downright trifling with sacred things. No harm is meant ? Of course not. The profane man outside the pulpit means none. Both, too, alike bite at a naked hook. The wrong use of texts, however, is not confined to those who use them profanely. A living Ameri can divine, of some eminence in our own denomination, preached a discourse on certain Protestant tendencies towards Popery from the words of Luke respecting Paul's journey, "And so we journeyed towards Rome." Dr. Porter, in his "Homiletics," tells us of a minister who preached a number of sermons from the smallest possible fragment of a sentence, the interjection "Oh" If this be not "handling the Word of God deceitfully" it is next to it, and tends greatly to lower the popular reverence for it, and to kill out confidence in it as an ultimate standard of truth. CLOTHED BY THE LIIV.-A French mayor of a commune can sometimes say a good thing as well as do a foolish one. An example of the latter kind is furnished in the case of one who nearly caused the loss of the vintage in his commune by obstinately persisting that the grapes were green and unfit to be gathered, and therefore re fusing to permit the villagers to gather them ; and it was only on one of the individuals ing under his autho rity suggesting that the aspect under which the fruit appeared to him might arise from his looking at it through the green spectacles he wore that ho took a different view, and one that was in accordance with the representations of the villagers. An instance of the former kind in related in reference to the case of a rural constable, who, having drunk too freely of wine or brandy, suddenly rose from his bed, and apparently under the impression that his services wore required somewhere, buckled on his sabre and marched up and down the village. The commotion caused by his appearance in such a condition was great, and a complaint was made to the maim that his subordinate was walking up and down the village in a naked condition; to which that functionary replied, "You are mistaken my good people, ho is covered by Alitisl9 70.0 the CPcle."
