Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £77`2,740.135. 9d.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the rea li se d assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets , productive and unproductive, m a y there fore be considered a s 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 £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new 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 th e amoun t of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re - ass ured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two oiliceslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

Dr. Close, Dean of Carlisle, writes to tne Rock on tht present position of the Low Church party :—" My opinisii is that at the present moment ' our strength is to sit still.' To disturb our congregations just now ; to make. Any alterations in the Communion-table, or anything else, appears to me most unwise and totally unnecessary. 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 =du :ion must be the result of their infatuated conduct ' The counsels of their Ahitophel has been turned into foolish. ness.' Let us bide our time." MR. WHITWORTH AND . THE DROGHEDA ELECTION. - ..41,...-___. A meeting has been held in the Drogheda Town-411, to express sympathy with Mr. Benjamin Whitworth, en the adverse dec'sion of Mr. Justice Keogh. Resolutions compli menting the people's "honest and faithful representative" were carried with entlemiasm, and till meeting pledged itself to return Mt. Whitwe t th's eldest son, free of expense, in his stead, Mr. Whitworth warmly expressed his sense of their kindness, and declared that the decision of the judge v. - ais quite unmerited by any act of his. He was the first victim of the new system, for which ho had himself voted, believ ing it to bo an improvement. Ile did net deny that there had boon a considerable amount of rioting, and ho should not have complained if the election had been made void. His counsel had told him that they believed his seat was safe, but they bad never dreamed of penal consequences. lie felt that he had not been done justice to, and he was deeply ag grieved, but Parliament had put such decisions beyond the reach of appeal. Mr. Whitworth said that he was much gratified by the proposal to nomi nate his son in his stead, and remarked that if ho kept, ihe 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 coma forward was numerously signed. EARL RUSSELL ON THE IRISH QUESTION. Lord Rusiell has 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 . e a x n p d o m se a s rks th w e it p h re sa te t n is d fa ed ctio o n bl , i , g t a h t a ir th o e f go t od h e e C n o g r a o g n e a o d t " n He t e h , 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 thusretained should be added a sum to be derived from the Church lands and rent charges, the amount of which shall be fixed by Pa r . 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 case of the Presbyterians by the Presby. 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 funds to be so applied shall be derived from a fund desig nated by Parliament the Irish Fund, and that the amount 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 rhall 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 be 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. He knews too well his duty to the Sovereign who has called him to the head 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 civent servatunt 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 absence of the rays of the royal presence. Let theh Prince of Wales appear in your country for twoisoieme or three months annually, with £25,000 a year added t h from the public revenue ; and lam sure you not be s o mu Chief eo people l h Secretary, offended when ean dIo say o that more to win n o t he Lord-Lie utenant , heartof the u Irie no ttoe heir t permanent hetnte Crown." ties Ns- iti E ng land than the ge ni al It is understood that the Norwich Conservatives intend to contest the seat now vacant for that city.
