Death has sounded these warnings very recently in passing by the " regal towers" of St. Cloud, of Ros sore, and (though more lightly) of St. Petersburg. The illness of the Emperor of the FRENCH, it is still believed by many, was, at 013() time at least, really --TRW SUN; LONDON, - THUILSOAT EVENING, Novrmtnn 11, 1869. Amer 0.. alarming. It is certain that the more recent illness of his Ally, the King of ITALY, was, for an inter val, 'nos! alarming. In either case a fatal re- suit would for certain have been more or less calamitous to Christendom. The disappearance of NAPOLEON 111. or VICTOR EM3IANUEL 11. would have given the signal to the Revolutionists. The combustible materials are, on each hand, yonder in ! France, yonder in Italy, massed together in appalling abundance, after a period for them, of very pro tracted accumulation. The death of either the KING or the EMPEROR would ignite those combustibles in stantaneously. The whole of the complex fabric built up under their auspices world be shaken to its foundations by the detonation caused by he electrifying telegram announcing the de- mise of either the Emperor NAPOLEON or King VICTOR EMMANUEL. The postponement of the seemingly inevitable day of bouleversement is, of itself, naturally a matter of congratulation. Inevit able, it is true, the disaster we are here forecasting as in store for Europe, whenever the French EMPEROR or the Italian KING shall have passed away—inevit able that disaster need not be, of course s if only those convalescent SOVEREIGNS realise to themselves be times the imperative necessity there is, in the inte rest of their respective peoples and their respective dynasties, to " set their house in order" at last, with a view to the popularising of their Govern ments, and the widening and strengthening of the foundations upon which they are based. In NAPO LEON'S instance, the opportunity for this sagacious work of renovation, almost it might be said of trans formation throughout, is immediately within the EMPEROR'S view, within his reach, within his grasp— lying there, at this very moment, as it were, in the hollow of his hand, so that his fingers have only to close upon it. NAPOLEON 111. has an nounced his reforms—not only vaguely, as he did some years ago, by talking in general terms of his intention, one of these days, to Crown the Edifice, but by voluntarily, and deliberately, and emphatically declaring it to be his fixed determina tion to replace the rigid, iron, grinding machinery of Personal Government with the exquisitely adjusted and balanced mechanism of a thoroughly constitutional because a really responsible, or representative, or parliamentary Government. What the Emperor of the FRENCH has to do now is, simply, to fulfil his own fair promises—to carry out his own spontaneous programme. The irreconcileables are trying to make this both for him and for France, as difficult as possible. France will aid him in his endeavour, heart and soul, however, if only he be true to the course upon which in July last be had the signal courage to adventure. The undertaking before VICTOR EMMANUEL is, in one sense, more difficult even than the one lying imme diately before his Imperial ally the Liberator of Lom bardy, the hero of Solferino, the donor, to the no longer merely King of SARDINIA, of the iron crown of CHARLEMAGNE. And the KING'S task is more difficult than the EMPEROR'S, for this simple reason, that the Kingdom of Italy, as it has been until now, as it has been ever since it fell into the bands or under the sceptre of VICTOR EMMANUEL, has never, for one single day, been based upon solid or stable foundations. It would be preposterous to deny that it has been called into existence by the combined powers of popular enthusiasm and mili tary spoliation. Italy, to this day, is what it was when Prince METTEnNrcn first gave it the designa tion of "a geographical idea." France went:to war for that idea—with a view to realize it by means of an Italian Confederation, having the Papa-Re at its head—leaving the Papal States untouched and undiminished. Events were stronger than the will of NAPOLEON 111. The dream of the Confederation disappeared. Lom bardy was conquered by the sword of NAPOLEON 111. Naples was conquered by the sword—by the mere presence (with his sword sheathed) of General GARIBALDI. Tuscany, Parma, Modena, all the powerless lesser States vanished before the policy of CAVOUR, just as, later on, so many of the minor States of Germany vanished before the policy of BISMARCE, vanished apparently beyond the chance of restora tion. But, while it was so, while it fell out thus in regard to the re-created Kingdom of Italy—that Kingdom was, and is, all along, under the new reginze, bankrupt financially.. It was, and has all along been, a mere make-believe politically. It has to be ruled ever since, not by a peace ful sceptre, but by a semblance of the old classic fasces—by an keen-edged axe bound together in the midst of a bundle of rods. Blessed with a King of ITALY, the Italians, claiming to be his sub jects, have been ground to the dust under his rule by over-taxation. Turin, as a capital, has been shelved. Naples, as a capital, has been shelved. Rome has been longed for, but never obtained. By an astound ing inconsistency, indicative of the hollowness of the whole scheme of sovereignty created by sword mid pen, by hand and tongue, at Florence,!the very man who had made a present of the Kingdo m of the Two Sicilies to VICTOR EMMANUEL, had to be shot down on his road to Rome, at Aspromonte by the soldiers of that same VICTOR EMMANUEL, the King, dubbed but a few years pre viously by GARIBALDI, the Re Galantuonzo. How to strengthen a house so divided against itself, it would be difficult to conjecture. Yet, that is the task still left for accomplishment—by King VICTOR EM MANUEL ? IT is impossible to avoid a contrast between Lord Mayor's Day 1869 and Lord Mayor's Day 1868. A. year ago Mr. DISRAELI was Prime Minister, and in sitting at the something more than hospitable Guildhall table was surrounded by Dukes and others of his colleagues in the last Conservative Ministry. On Tuesday Mr. GLADSTONE held the seat of honour with a feeble sprinkling of peers around him, but a large phalanx of Right Honourables of the Lower House. Mr. DISRAELI spoke on the eve of the most decisive popular defeat that the pre sent generation has witnessed; Mr. GLADSTONE spoke at the head of the strongest administration of our time. The first had to look back upon a session in which he had held office without power, and had seen his greatest measure so changed that even his own friends declared of it that only the "whereas" of the preamble remained. The second looked back upon a session which was one long succession of victories, in which a measure of the most supreme importance had been carried by majorities large beyond precedent, in which he was virtually dictator both of Parliament and of the nation. But happily in this world there is a law of compensation. The good is not wholly enjoyed by one person or party, the evil is not endured wholly by the other. And so it was on Tuesday night. First of all a Tory Lord Mayor had taken the place of a Liberal after giving him a severe thrashing at the poll. Compared with the first citizen and chief magistrate of London—that high and mighty func tionary who has power to shut Temple Bar in the QUEEN'S face—such persons as Prime Ministers are very minor officials indeed. So what if a Liberal has taken possession of Downing-street ?It is .more than counterbalanced by the fact that a Conservative reigns at the Mansion House. Nor is this all. Compare the speeches of the two Premiers ; read Mr. DISRAELI ' S light, airy, graceful, the very perfection of an after dinner speech; and then contrast with it Mr. GLAD STONE'S, solid, solemn, gloomy, and say if it is not better to be a Prime Minister on the eve of retirement than a Prime Minister burdened with the task of pacifying Ireland. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown "? Then why not take the cro - ivn off ? If Mr. GLADSTONE, as leader of the government, must, even in the midst of the inspiring scene of golden plate, luscious fruits, splendid uniforms, and beautiful women, look and speak like an undertaker's man at a funeral, why not try if leading Her MAJESTY'S Opposition will not be more cheerful work ? The truth is that Mr. GLADSTONE is not made for festivities. He is too earnest, too anxious. The burden of responsibility lies very heavy upon him, and even on the most joyous occasions he cannot throw it off. Just now there is some excuse for him. He undertook this time last year the arduous task of pacifying Ireland, of turning the tide of hatred to wards England which has been running so steadily and so fiercely for 700 years. There were three modes by which he hoped to effect this result : the dises tablishment of the Protestant Church, the heal ing of the dispute between landlords and tenants, and the settlement of the education question. The first of these tasks he has accomplished triumphantly. The second he is now engaged upon. Yet what has been the result thus far ? A fresh list of extravagant demands, a fresh eruption of treasonable oratory, a fresh outbreak of agrarian crimes. Surely these results are sufficient reason why the Minister who longs passionately to make all the QUEEN'S subjects of one heart and one mind should be in no humour for pm sillage and witticisms. Even Mr. DISRAELI, who can take things as easily as Lord PALMERSTON did, because he feels things as lightly as that personification of bonhomnzie felt them, would find his jokes come slowly to his aid if he had such a task before him, and en countered such difficulties as his successor is encoun tering. In politics failure is considered a crime. Motives however good, acts however just and wise, are considered worthless if they do not bring about the intended result. It may be proved, beyond all possibility of contradiction, that it was righteous to disestablish the Irish Church and to to give thq tenants of the three other provinces Ulu same security of tenure as the tenants of Ulster possess; it may be shown that after these changes have been effected the Irish people have not the most shadowy cause of complaint ; yet if they are not content, it is not they, but the Minister, who has failed to satisfy them, that will be blamed. This is hard measure, but every statesman knows that be has to submit to it, and takes office subject to it. To the Minister who thought of place and power rather than of the good of the nation the consciousness of this harsh judg ment would be a sore temptation to do as little as possible. Most Ministers would be disposed to reject all suggestions of Reform in Lord MELBOURNE'S words, "Why can't you let it alone ?" Most Ministers would be tempted to adopt Lord PAL MERSTON'S principle of laissez faire, counting those politicians " geese " who attempted to do more than was absolutely necessary to keep the legislative machine going. Mr. GLADSTONE is not one of these. He has set his heart upon accomplishing a great work. It is yet uncertain if he will succeed. The men who should aid him—the Irish people—are hindering him most seriously. Failure is more than possible. Should it befall him he will feel it bitterly. Should it befall him let us console him with the oft-repeated words,— Tis not in mortals to command success. But we'll do more, Sempronius ; we'll deserve it, Mr. GLADSTONE will at least have done that, if he has not done all. IT is, perhaps, too much to say that the eyes of all England will be fixed upon the score of gentlemen who will this day assemble in the Chapter House of Exeter. Nevertheless, it is no exaggeration to assert that very great interest is felt in the proceedings which will be transacted in that ancient edifice this morning. The QUEEN has selected for the Bishopric of Exeter an eminent man. That selection has, for the sake of a form which would be more honoured in the breach than in the observance, to be sanctioned by a body for the most part self-elected, and consisting of somewhat over a score of clergy out of the nearly 1,200 whom the diocese contains. There is a difference of opinion among these electors with respect to the fitness of the QUEEN'S nominee for the office to which r she has appointed him. The objectors belong mainly to that section of the clergy who this time last year were supporting with exceed ing vehemence the Royal Supremacy, and what Mr. DISRAELI called "The sacred union of Church and State." The nomination of one distinguished man against whom no one ventures to proceed by law has so strongly excited them that they talk of resisting the QUEEN in the exercise of this Royal Supremacy, and threaten that they will agitate for a dissolution of this "sacred union." We believe, however, that they are in a- minority, that they are considerably fewer than those who are ready to support Dr. TEMPLE sincerely and heartily. There is a third section who do not like this appointment, but who shrink from coming into collision with the Crown, not for their own sakes, but because they will thereby render certain the speedy disestablishment of the English Church. We believe that the election of Dr. TEMPLE is safe if this third section do not interpose. At the same time we should be sorry to see any persons holding an important office evading the responsibilities which belong to it. We trust, therefore, that all the electors will do their duty by voting after they have calmly and judicially considered the whole bearings of the question. After all it is a very simple issue. Dr. TEMPLE is an earnest educationist, and our experience of the late and present Archbishops o f ri CANTERBURY proves that the head -mastership of a great public school is a most desirable training for the Episcopate ; there fore no exception can be taken to the QUEEN'S choice on that ground. In the next place the waverers must see that the English Church is a comprehensive body, at present including three distinct schools of thought, each of which ought to be represented in the highest office of the Church, and that the Broad Church school has certainly a right to complain because it has so few of its adherents on the episcopal bench. Then, again, all who know Dr. TEMPLE personally, or have read his sermons, agree in testi fying to his earnestly devout spirit. Once more, Dr. TEMPLE is an admirable organiser, and such is much wanted in the diocese over which he has been seta Finally, the fact that he has been selected by his Sovereign ought to be a reason, in the absence of any strong reason to the contrary, why he should be accepted. To put against all these argu ments is the sole objection that Dr. TEMPLE has bound up a sermon which Oxford University d ons heard with out disapproval with sundry objectionable, though the worst of them have compatible been declared essays, whereof some are with the formularies of the Church by the highest court in the land. It is alleged that Dr. TEMPLE'S ser mon-essay has been censured by the Convocation of one of the provinces of the English Church. The allegation is at least d o ubtful ; and as the bisho p s (who compose one of the Houses of tha t bod y ) have declined to protest against Dr. T E MPLE'S nomina tion, and are quite p re p ar ed to consecrate him, there does not seem any reason why the Canons and Pre bendaries of Exeter should refuse their assent to a selection for which they are not responsible, even though they might not have made it for them selves. Altogether the arguments s eem over whelmingly on to Dr. TEMPLE, of o bedience to the Q UEEN, of one side ; the argum ents of fairness legitimate fear to encounter the serious consequences which must result to the Church by a refusal, all point in the same direction, and immensely outweigh the one objection that Dr. TEMPLE has not been altogether prudent in the choice of some of his companions. We find that the paragraph in our impression the sth day of August last relating to a fire at 169, Strand, is incorrect, inasmuch as "Mr. H. Swaebe never had a tiro before the one that occurred on the morning of the sth August. We regret that he should have suffered any in convenience through a statement which was inserted by us under our reporter's belief that it was tine, but we now discover that his information was erroneous. THE PROSECUTION OP MR. FTTRODAB .A AD MR. WIX. In the Court of Arches, on 'Wednesday, thee:lse of " Elphiu stone v. Purchas" came before Sir Robert Phillimore on an application to admit the articles containing forty-four charges. The defendant was called and did not appear to the summons. He had been served with a copy of the articles. _ _ The case of the Rev. W. Wix, vicar of Swanmore, Isle of Wight, against whom proceedings had been instituted by the late Bishop cf Winchester for using lights and incense during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, was also before Sir R. Phillimore. Mr. Arthur Charles, en behalf of the defendant, submitted that the suit had fallen to the ground by the resignation of the bishop, and asked that the defendant might be discharged from the suit. As it appeared, how ever, that notice of the application had not been given to the other side, Sir It. Phillimoro adjourned the case in order that this might be done. TUE STATE OF ST. PANCRAS WORK- HOUSE INFIRMARY. An investigation took place before Dr. Lankester, the coroner (as we have mentioned), on the bodies of seven persons, who have died in the infirmary or other parts of the St. Pancras Workhouse. The deaths to be inquired into were those of Jane Harrison, aged 58, Julia Cornier, aged 30, James Plant, aged 58, Jane Hayes, Mary Brown, Mary Smith, and John Fox. The case of Jane Harrison was first taken. Dr. James Ellis, medical officer of the infirmary, said : Deceased was admitted to 24 ward, having chronic Erc: ch is slightly. She went on well till the morning of the 6th, when she became faint, and died suddenly. A post mortem examination revealed the fact that she had died - of congestion of the brain, which I found full of dark black blood. The im mediate cause of the deceased's death was congestive apoplexy. There were 29 patients in that ward, which would give 663 cubic feet of space for each patient. Ido not consider that to be sufficient. I have continually repre sented to the guardians the over-crowded state of the wards of the iunrmary. L..- ward lying on the floor, and one patient was lying in a bath. I consider that this woman's death was accelerated by the overcrowded state of the ward and the impure at mosphere she was compelled to breathe. I come to this conclusion, as I have had so many cases of sudden death of patients in this ward. The ventilation of the ward is most defective. It is dcfleiet.t in fresh air, which only comes into the ward from the water-closets. Mr. Samuel Solly was then sworn. He said: lam Vice- President of the Royal College of Surgeons. Ivi ited the wards of St. Pancras Workhouse Infirmary one day last week. I believ e No. 24 ward was the first ward I went into. The atmosphere of that ward was frightfully foul. I consider this foul state of the atmosphere to have arisen from human exhalations—the breath and bodies of the inmates combined with the badness of the ventilation. The only ventilation of the ward that I ob served was through the water-closets. My impression is that that was one of the worst wards I visited. It was equally as had as No. 11. which I described on Monday. All the wards were bad. Such an atmosphere would un doubtedly tend to increase illness, as it rendered the oxi disation of the blood very imperfect. Its effect would be to produce congestion of the brain, such as described by Dr. Ellis. I have no doubt but that such an atmosphere as that I have described would have accelerated the death of a person in the feeble state of Jane Harrison. I think it probable that the death would not have taken place had the patient had in the ward a supply of fresh air. There was not one ward in the whole infirmary the atmosphere of which was not foul, but some were worse than others. Dr. Ellis, in reply to questions, unhesitatingly attributed this death to the overcrowding and bad ventilation of the ward. The Poor-law Beard's regulation was that each patient should have 850 cubic feet space. He had repeatedly reported to the guardians the overcrowded state of the infirmary. He reported last Monday that ninety five persons had been compelled to lie on the floor of the wards. He did not know that that report was ordered by the guardians to lie uneer the table. Mr. Watson (the vice-chairman of the board): It is true that by a large majority so important a report was refused to be read. The jury then returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased, Jane Harrison, died from the mortal effects of the effusion of serum into the brain, and that her death was accelerated by the overcrowding and want of ventila tion of the ward in which she was placed. The second case was as to the death of Julia Conder, aged 30. Mary Cain, nurse of 24 Ward, said deceased had been in the infirmary before, but went out well. She came back about a fortnight ago with difficulty of breathing. There were twenty-seven patients in the ward—two sleeping on the floor. Had been nurse four months. The wards were very close and ventilation very bad. She con sidered they were much over-crowded, and there was very little room between the beds. Dr. Ellis gave the history of the case. She was admitted on October 15, in the early stage of consumption. She gradually got worse, and died on the ith instant. A post- mortem examination exhibited the same symptoms as in Harrison's case. I consi'ler her death to have been accele rated by the vitiated atmosphere of the ward. After some further evidence in this case, the jury re turned a similar verdict to that of the first. The third case was in reference to the death of James Plant, aged 58. Dr. Ellis said deceased was admitted on the 2nd inst., suffering from bronchitis, and was placed in No. 6 "Ward. This was a ground-floor ward. There were twenty-four beds, and one on the floor. Deceased went on very well till about eight o'clock on the evening of the sth, when he was just going to bed. He was then conversing with a man in the next bed about some fireworks which they could see through the windows, and died suddenly. Examined the body, found the head much congested and serum on the brain. Death had resulted from apoplexy. He considered it also resulted from the foul state of the ward. _ _ _ _ _ _ The night nurse said: I have heard it said that the patients in this ward have rats running over their beds. I have heard it stated that a man has been known in a closet to kill as many as thirteen rats with a stick—eleven small and two large ones. The Coroner: Is there any guardian who would like to be examined—Mr. Chandler, for instance ? Mr. Chandler was sworn : My name is Edward Henry Chandler, and I am a guardian of the poor of St. Pancras. I am hon. secretary of one of our public hospitals, and as such take a deep interest in such institutions. I have been in large numbers of hospitals, not only in England, but all over Europe. I have over and over again complained to our board of guardians as to the over crowded state of the wards of our infirmary. They are utterly unfit for any human being to be placed in that is sick in their present condition. I must say I have felt great difficulty in this matter, and the guardians have felt great difficulty in this matter, by the conduct of the Pool Law Board, who say that every patient ought not to have less than 850 cubic feet of space, and yet they certified for 205 patients in this infirmary; and after the reports, and what they have been told, the guardians, on Mon day, ordered 27 more bedsteads to be sent into these very wards. I contend that Mr. Corbett and Dr. Markham, it they consider 850 cubic feet ought to be given to every inmate, have not done their duty. Mr. Richardson here handed the report, signed 3 A Corbett " to the coroner, and Mr. Chandler read it. It stated that, in company with Mr. Courtenay, he had visited the workhouse at night. It expressed pleasure ai the improvement in the infirm wards, but complained generally of the vitiated atmosphere of several of the infirmary wards, and expressed a belief that the drainage was still defective. Mr. Richardson said that twelve nurser would be removed from No. 4 ward to-morrow into the house. After some considerable discussion as to the propriety of adjourning the proceedings, The Coroner said it was quite certain that the infirmary in its present state was quite unfit for sick people, and steps ought to be taken without delay for removing them as there was plenty of evidence to show that the infirmary was, in fact, killing them. There was a great wrong some where. The investigation into this and other cases was ul mately adjourned, to enable the jury to view the wards. The Diocesan Synol for Down, Connor, and Dromore met on Wednesday at Belfast, under the presi dency of the Lord Bishop of the diocese, and elected twc lay and two clerical representatives to act on the Dublir Committee, also twenty-one clerical and seventy-one lay representatives for the general Conference of the Church. SUBSTITUTION OF NEWSPAPERS.—A Curious case was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench, July 17th, 1810 Lovell v. Waller, in which the plaintiff, the proprietor 0 , the Statesman, brought an action against the defendant, I newsvendor at Canterbury, for supplying to a customer who had ordered the Statesman regularly, a rival papo called the Alfred in lieu thereof. The Attorney-Genera appeared for the plaintiff, and the case was tried before Lord Ellenborough, resulting in a verdict for the plaintiff with one shilling damages and forty shillings costs.—/rew paper Pros. ALBERT ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Mr. Lewis, on behalf of the official liquidators, on 'Wednes day attended before Mr. Bloxam at Chambers, to apply for an order to authorise an agent being sent to India armed with a power of attorney to enable him to conduct and defend suits and other proceedings, and generally represent the liquidators in the management of the Indian business connected with the winding-up. Mr. Lattey, who appeared for the Calcutta and Madras shareholders, said the agent of the society in Calcutta had thought proper to bring actions against parties there for libel, and he agreed that the interests of his clients would be served if a representative, as applied for, were appointed. The Chief Clerk said the course proposed would, no doubt, be beneficial, but as such a representative would have the handling of very large sums of money, large security would be required, and as Mr. Lewis was not instructed upon this point, the summonses would be adjourned to the Vice-Chancellor to be heard next Tuesday. THE WEXFORD BOARD OF GUARDIAN'S TO THE PREMIER. A more elaborate memorial to the Premier has been adopted on the land question by the - Wexford board of guardians than by any other public body in Ireland. Lord Granard filled the chair, and it was unanimously resolved to express a deep appreciation of Mr. Glad stone's desire to "legislate in a just and liberal spirit." The memorialists go on to say that "no bill which does not recognise the principle of fixity of tenure at a reason able rent, and the right of occupancy as distinct from the right of ownership, will be satisfactory to the people of Ireland or conducive to a settlement of the question." They think these results "can be obtained on the basis of the Ulster custom of tenant right," but "it should be supplemented by Government valuation, de claratory of what should be considered the maximum of rent, recoverable by process of law." They call for a provision for " retrospective com pensation for a period of at least twenty years." They would havo the compulsory sale of tenant-right, except for non-payment of rent, made illegal ; and finally, believing that many of the differences between landlord and tenant arise from political causes, they desire the pro tection of the Ballot. THE MILITARY EDUCATION OF OFFI CERS IN THE ARMY. A divisional order relative to the examination of officers of the army has been issued to the troops by Major- General Freeman Murray, commanding the division at Chatham. Two instances have recently occurred in which the Major-General has had to express strong disapproval of the course pursued by a garrison board of examination in recommending as possessing a competent knowledge of military duties, and as fit for promotion, young officers who should never so have been recommended. The attention of field officers is called to the necessity of being strict in the performance of that duty. The Major- General has had occasion to notice, from time to time, a tendency on the part of such boards to show a mis taken lenity or kindness. Upon this feeling some of these officers have relied unduly, forgetting that it is within the province of the Major-General to upset, by reference to higher authority, the decision of any board which is found to have performed its duty in an unsatisfactory manner. When from the nature of the• questions and answers ren dered it has been evident that superficial works have been consulted, or studied, the Major-General has not formed a high opinion of the amount of industry thus dis played. A knowledge of the Queen's Regulations, the Mutiny Act, and Articles of War is so essential to all periods of an officer's service, without reference to mere examina tions, that the Major-General is not inclined to overlook cases where every effort may apparently have been made to avoid the labour of obtaining a sound knowledge of those few books which the orders regulating examinations require officers really to study.

An extraordinary general meeting of this society was held at Willis's Rooms, London, on Wednesday, having been adjourned from the offices, in Waterloo-place. There was a numerous attendance of shareholders and policy-holders. The directors on entering were received with mingled cheers and hisses. Sir Frederick Smith, the chairman, presided. Mr. LAKE, the secretary, read the report, which included the accounts already presented to the Court of Chancery. It also stated that, notwithstanding the excitement for sometime past in the insurance world, the amount of pre miums on new life and guarantee policies received by the secretary for the nine months of the present year ending on the 30th September was no less than £24,756 IBs. 7d. On the recommendation of a committee of revision, the board had agreed upon large reductions in various items in the cost of working. The remuneration voted to the directors had been reduced by one half. The directors believed that an annual saving might be made of at least £25,000. The directors, being desirous of affording the shareholders an opportunity of appointing new members to the Board, should they think it expe dient, had determined to create vacancies for that purpose. The presentation of petitions had no doubt affected the society prejudicially, and the directors proposed to make a call of ss. per share. The directors, in conclusion, averred that they believed the society to be in possession of a very valuable business. The report was received with applause, with the exception of the announcement of a call, which excited some disappointment. The CHAIRMAN, who was applauded on rising, remarked that the company had passed through a terrific ordeal ; but they had passed through it with credit. It would now be the duty of the directors to practice the most rigid economy. They had a fine business, and a wide spread net of agents, who, he hoped, would exert them selves more than ever under the present circum stances ; and they had a board of management such, as ho trusted would give confidence to the public. He believed that the accounts which would be submitted at future meetings would give proof of frugality, thrift, industry, and care. In conserfuence of the presentation of he petitions, he was sorry to say that the hands of the law had been placed upon their assets in America, and he reared they would not recover them without the use of much pressure. A. telegram was sent from London—by whom it was not for him to say—to give notice that the society had collapsed, and the same day the receiver was appointed to receive their fees. Within a few hours of the same transaction another telegram was sent to India, causing the detention there of funds which were to have been remitted, and business from that quarter d r opped off for the time. But he should tell the meeting that they had kept one part of their business almost intact—that was tho guarantee portion. Perhaps the meeting knew that one of the petitioners (Mr. Crawford) had appealed to the Lord Chancellor. He thought that gentleman was unwise in taking that course, now that he had been unsuccessful in his first at tempt. One object of the call to be made was to make up the gap arising from the falling off in the United States and India. No doubt they would hear of the same state of things from Melbourne, and for a time the com pany was placed in the unpleasant position of pay ing claims without getting funds from the same place. One part of the directors' programme was the formation of a reserve fund. They thought that £lO,OOO might be set aside for this purpose in the next twelve months, and they would go on adding until it reached the amount of £50,000. The Government had agreed to guarantee all their officials with this society. Since the filing of the petitions, £487 had been received for guarantees. The shareholders, he thought, ought to consider themselves very fortunate. Mr. CHILDS, of Manchester, stated that he attended the meeting as the representative of more than one third of those who were principally interested, namely, the shareholders, as well as of a large number of policy-holders, and on their behalf to move an amendment. The committee which he repre sented had not taken any proceeding hostile to the board, but they felt that they had been grossly betrayed by some of their partners. The meeting ought not to enter tain any proposition from gentlemen who had been acting partners until they knew the true cause of their being in a position which justified want of confidence. Those in Lancashire felt that it must have been produced by mis management. Therefore, they desired to have a committee - ppointed to confer with the directors, to ascertain the cause of unsoundness, and to find a remedy. The meeting was afterwards adjourned. TO PREVENT POTATO-SETS FAILING.—The best preventive is assuredly the selection of good sets. The sets should only be selected from a perfectly ripened crop, , nd the medium-sized tubers selected for seed. These should be planted whole, and before planting they should be spread out singly in a warns shed exposed to the light, and allowed to form short, stubby purple sprouts, about half en inch in length, and then select two of the strongest, and rub off all the others. I have had much experience with potatoes in England and Ireland, and have found that many cf the Failures result from using unsuitable seed. It is a very ommon practice to send all the best tubers to the kitchen, :end reserve the small ones only for planting ; therefore no surprise need be felt when we hear of an occasional failure. The plan of reserving the small tubers of crops ifted before. they are properly matured is also one of the , worst systems that could possibly be adopted.—"J. Graham." in garcimerkag.(qitie.
