Dr. Close, Dean of Carlisle, writes to the Rock on the present position of the Low Church party : — "My opinion is that at the present moment our strength is to sit still.' To disturb our congregations just now ; to make an alterations in the Communion•table, or anything else': appears to me most unwise and totally tmnecessary. The Ritualists, by their divided counsels, by the secession of some of them to Rome, by the rampant and defiant rebellion of others, and by thesingular weakness displayed by most of them, are doing our work. Secession or e,x4e. sion must be the result of their infatuated conduct. • Th e counsels of their Ahitophel has been turned into foolish. ness.' Let us bide our time."

The interest received during the year is £117,584 78. 3d. arising a rising from the pro d u ctive p ortion of the realised as . sets 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 now assurances are £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 baying 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account.

Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. Tlie direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right lion.

A meeting has been held in the Drogheda Town-hall, to express sympathy with Mr. Benjamin Whitworth, on the adverse dec:s7on of Mr. Justice Keogh. Resolutions compli meeting the pople's "honest and faithful representative" were carried with enthusiasm, and the meeting pledged its( If to return Mr. Whitworth's oldest son, free of expense, in Iris stead. Mr. Whitworth warmly expressed his sense of their kindnes-, and aeelared that the decision of the judge was quite unmerited by any act of his. 11 was the first victim of the new systorn, for which ho had himself voted, believ ing it to be an improvement. He did not deny that there had been a considerable amount of rioting, and ho should not hawk complained if the election had been made void. his couuterl had told him that they believed his seat was safe, buti•they had never dreamed of penal consequences. He felt that he had not been done justice to, and he was deeply ag grieved, but Parliament bad put suc h deeisions beyond the reach 'of appeal. Mr. Whitworth said that ho was much gratified by the proposal to nomi nate his eon in his stead, and remarked that if he kept the seat for only one' week it would indicate the votes of the majority. At the conclusion of the proceedings a re quisition calling on Mr. Thomas Whitworth to come forward was numerously signed. EARL RUSSELL ON THE IRISH QUESTIOZT, Lord Riissell - "his written a third letter to Mr. Chichester Fortescue, the present Secretary for Ireland, on the state of that country. The noble lord commences his present communication by asserting that "the time has come when the mere assertion of principles is no longer sufficient, and it behoves a Liberal Government to intro duce large measures for the good of Ireland. Happily, we are not, as in 1778, engaged at once in a foreign and a civil war ; nor, as in 1792, on the brink of the crater of the French Revolution ; nor, as in 1829, in the alarm of an approaching insurrection. We have firm ground whereon to plant our feet ; and we ought, therefore, to advance boldly on our path, and to complete the edifiCe which we have been so long in constructing, until it becomes an enduring temple, sacred to concord and to liberty." His lordship then proceeds to defend Mr. Gladstone against the accusation of having started the Irish question from a desire to obtain office. "The Liberal party," he says, "has been re-united more suddenly,and the country has responded to the call of its leaders more rapidly than I expected ; but I still retain my opinion that Mr. Glad stone, encountering great risks, and provoking bitter ani mosity, has aimed not at official station, but at the welfare of his country, in the mighty struggle in which he has engaged." He exposes the pretended obligation of the Coronation Oath, and marks with satisfaction "that the good sense of the nation has disposed of the fallacy which was offered for the acceptance of the two Houses of Parliament, that there is no distinction between public and private property." On the question of disestablishment and disen dowment of the Irish Church, he arrives at the following conclusions :-1. That at a certain date to be named —say March 1870 —the Established Church of Ireland shall cease to exist as an establishment, due regard being had to all 'personal interests and to all individual rights of property. 2. That in the interval the Irish Church should, by means of a convocation or such other mode as may be deemed most advisable, frame a scheme for its organisa tion as a free Church. 3. That to this free Church should be assigned such cathedrals and parish churches as may have been chiefly built by voluntary Protestant contribu tions, and such lands and glebes as the present Established Church may produce equitable claims to retain. 4. That to the cathedrals, churches, lands, and glebes thus retained should be added a sum to be derived from the Church lands and rent charges, the amount of which shall be fixed by Par. liament. 5. That property equal in amount to that retained by the Protestant Episcopal Church shall be assigned to the Presbyterian and Roman Catholic people of Ireland for purposes to be defined by Parliament, to be administered in the ease of the Presbyterians by the Preshy terian Church of Ireland, and in the case of the Roman Catholics by the Roman Catholic members of the Board of Charitable Bequests, already constituted by Act of Parlia ment, with numbers enlarged —say to 15 or 25. 6. That the Hated by Parliament the Iris Atri i n c rißal €dl;alrAiilt applied from year to year shall be fixed, and shall not vary according to the rate of mortality among the existing clergy of the Established Church. 7. That the building and ropairing of Presbyterian and Roman Catholic places of worship, and dwelling-houses for their respective clergy, shall be among the purposes to which the funds to be assigned to Presbyterians and Roman Catholics shall be applied. 8. That the remainder of the funds to be de rived fram the disendowment of the present Established Church shall be applied by Parlament, from time to time, solely to Irish purposes. That with this view the fund called the Irish Fund shall never be diverted to pur poses other than the welfare and improvement of Ireland." The noble earl urges the maintenance of the present system of national education. With regard to the Maynooth grant and the Regium Donum, he suggests that the best course would be to respect life interests, as in the case of the Established Church, and afterwards to throw the two sums into the Irish Fund and to dispose of them according to the same rules. Speaking on the land question, he points out that part of the ecclesiastical property might he denoted to the improvement of land by drainage and other works. In conclusion, he says :—" I feel sure Mr. Gladstone will not recklessly introduce a measure affecting deeply the welfare of the United Kingdom merely that it may not be said that he has served as a stop-gap. I feel confident that he will not propose to the two Houses of Parliament to take a leap in the dark. Ire knew-s too well his duty to the Sovereign who has called him to thelead of affairs, and to the country which willingly entrusts her destinies to his hands. I admire the prudence with which at some sacrifice he has refrained from expounding to the elec tors of the United Kingdom a regular plan for the distribution of the revenues of the Irish Church. The narrow prejudices, the selfish interests, and the violent antipathies which have disgraced our late elections will fade in the presence of a settlement founded on the principles of wisdom and justice. The wreath ob cirem serra.tum will be a million times deserved by the Minister who shall knit together three nations, to be bound hereafter by a common feeling of loyalty to the Crown, and of enduring affection to the institutions of the country which gave them birth. Let us suppose that, by the end of the session of 1870, the Irish Church and the Irish land questions are, by the consummate wisdom of Parlia ment, satisfactorily settled. Is everything accomplished? By no means. The great art of administration, as Napoleon justly called it, has to be exercised with mildness, with benevolence, with sympathy for the Irish people ; but still with firmness, with strict justice, with an authority in capable of being either intimidated or cajoled. Bub let not the Irish suppose that their portion of the United Kingdom is to be darkened by the permanent the Prince of the rays of the royal presence. Let htie Prince of Wales appear in your country for two or three months fmin the puh l annually,public revenue;with 225 e , n 0 d 00 I a a year 7 r added eyou to his offended when I say that no Lord-Lieutenant,efno Chief not be Secretary, can do more to win the heart the Irish sm ishp i e l o e ple to permanent ties with England than the ofgenial the heir to the Crown." It is understood that the Norwich Conservatives intend to contest the seat now vacant for that city. Mr. Edward Stracey, son of Sir H. Stracey, tho late Conser vative sitting member, is named as their champion. The only candidate at present in the field is Mr. E. Warner (Liberal).
