As the garden has a high wall, and leads down to the tow-path, commanding a view of the river, they are secured from intrusion, while they can see what is going on. 11. Kelley, the wa , erman, has been en gaged, and sculls ahead of their boat to teach them the run of the river. The appearance of the boats does not captivate the English reporters.

The extraordinary success which has attended the production of the Shadow Dance, with the brilliant and varied effects of the electric light on the groups of dancers that nightly partici pate in it, combined with the admirable Operatic and Dance Music Selections presented in the often-changed programmes. have had the gratifying effect of making the , r sent one the most extensively patronized season since its first opening.

The Spirit of the limes raps the New York Times and other dailies over the knuckles in this fashion : " We perceive that some of the writers in our daily papers are airing beforehand excuses for the apprehended defeat of our crew. Wo can see no reason to believe that their defeat is highly probable % for good oarsmen as the Oxford crew will no doubt be, there are just as good men elsewhere.- The questson is, whether we have got them in this Harvard crew? It is of no moment to talk about the coxswain. The coxswain can do our crew no harm, even if he does no good ; but many people, who know the river and the lay of the land well, believe that it would be the height of folly to start over that course without a cox swain. It is not at all likely that steamboats or other craft will wilfully impede the Harvard men, and as to accidents from steamers or barges, the Oxford boat will be just as much exposed to them as our own boat. But our writers seem to think that the shouts of the betting men will have a great effect. Now, if the Harvard crew is going to be paralyzed by being shouted at, they are not the men we take them for. Then come considerations about the style of rowing. Wo are reminded of "the rapid style of Harvard." Well, we heard a good deal about the rapid style of Hamill, but the less rapid stroke of Kelley outrowed him from the start. We are pretty well convinced that much of what is called "style" in rowing is a good deal more calculated for show than use. Every year when the Oxford crews appear in the London waters, the amateurs and critics say that their style is bad, but in the races they manage to get home first. Again, according to the critics, the 'style' of the boatmen of St. John's is about the worst in the world— but for all that they won in the International Race in France, and rowed clean away from the Wards at Boston. Therefore, we would advise the Harvard crew to put no trust in what they hear about style, but instead of lean ing upon such a reed leave nothing undone to attain good condition, which will prove a staff of strength." Brown, the American champion, has accepted the challenge to the world given by Renforth, the Tyne waterman who defeated Kelley of the Thames. The race will come off on the Tyne, but when is not yet settled, for £4OO a side.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton.

Lloyd, 14, Seymour-street, Port man-square, to whom commit ications may be addressed. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time bo withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy homed on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this chss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies aro held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, aiiit consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will clan be unehallengeable on any kround whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Polici,s.

The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 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 idon 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 me nagement are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But the y still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two . officeslest absorbed by the company.

San Francisco is experiencing the checks the most successful of new towns cannot escape, or in deed old ones either. Those who know the pro cess of development in new settlements are aware that prosperity itself invariably leads to a calami tous crisis. Phlegmatic, as an Anglo• Saxon may be considered, he is one of the most sanguine of animals, and there are no bounds to the expan sion of his ideas when the affairs of his new settle ment take a very prosperous turn. We may as sert that, without exception, San Francisco is the most prosperous city in the world. Circumstances rarely s 'en in conjunction have combined to mark out for it a grand des'iny. The present harvest is so large that many farmers have hal the choice of employing Clkint&e labour to the utter annihiLtion of all their protests, speeches, and pro ceedings, or to lose their crops. The half-yearly review of the commerce of San Francisco shows that 554,000 tonnage has entered the port, of which 279,000 tons were engaged on Pacific trade. The v:tlue of foreign goods received approximates to $7,000,000, while the estimated currency value of free goods via Panama was $23,500,000. The duties collected on imports during the past six months were $3,741,000, and for the fiscal year, $8,273,000. The merchandise exports for that time aggregate $8,745,000. The coin and bullion exported amounted to $ 2 1,016,000. During har vest year the merchandise shipped was valued at $21,844,000, the following being the principal articles :—Flour and wheat, $10,636,000 ; wine, $BOO,OOO ; wool, $2,378,000 ; hides, $357,000 ; lea ther, $268,000; skins and furs, mostly from Alaska, reshipped toEnglands9B7,ooo;quicksilver,s92l,ooo. Cheap labour is pouring into the country through the new channels of trade opened with China and Japan, and a spur has been given to the cultivation of silk and tea. The completion of the trans-con- tinental railroad has not only made a way through the Great Basin, but has brought the city to within a few days of the Atlantic sea bowd. Yet the first fruit of these extraordinary material advantages is a panic. Such a panic as that now felt in San F 'raucisco is produced there as in other young and rapidly-rising cities, by men doing what is known on Stock Exchanges as " discounting" events. Thus the Californians discounting the opening of the trans-continental railroad, exaggerated the im mediate effect it was likely to produce, and ran up real estate to a fictitious price. Some lots doubled, trebled, quadrupled within a few months, and land outside the town was snapped up at fancy prices. Wherever the ground begins thus to rise in value, as a rule it will run into extravagance,and end in leaving in the hands of speculators unsaleable lots, to buy which heavy liabilities have been incurred. The land will not sell, the speculators cannot pay, the lenders are hit, and many becoming insolvent spread the losses to others, till a portion reaches even the cautious, loss extending to those who had been the least bitten by the mania. San Francisco now suffers from some such proceedings, and it has made its effect felt in a stringency which has forced the Bank of California to hurry in its call loans. That Bank is to the Pacific slope a great deal more than the Bank of England is to Great Britain. It has been considered injudicious in the business com munity of San Francisco to allow 'one bank to attain a position of so much influence, for in the event of any bad banking business or extravagance in its management the State becomes injuriously affected throughout. This small check, which will prove but a slight interruption to the pro gress of San Francisco, can only be called a stringency. Indeed the citizens of San Fran cisco have but miscalculated the time ; imagm- ing, that all the world knew as well as them selves about California and its wonderful advan- Sages, and knowing this they would hurry on the railway opening to San Francisco. The world is a heavy mass to move, requiring much writing and talking to impress. Those who can hold on may find that land for which even an extravagant price has been paid will yet realize for its possessor a profit ; but as the speculator only bought with the money of others to secure the difference between the pur ehz.,s 2 and the sale, there will be for a time more land than buyers in the market, and loss not only to him, but to all who aided or trusted him.
