The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 81st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same, 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. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions.

It maintains that there should not only be inquiry, but public inquiry, as no one will at tach importance to an investigation conducted in private, while no inquiry would be the greatest scandal of the last ten years. General Butterfield has himself proceeded to Washington to insist on an investigation, and the diffi culty appears to be the limited power of the Secretary, which makes it doubtful whether he could order such an inquiry, therefore the late Sub-Treasurer will have to appeal to Congress, which it is said he fully intends to do. LADVRRTISHMENT.J—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish mentof the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies, and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional re gularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We ex tract a few out of the 68,000 cures ;—"The Pope's health restored by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 68,413. " Rome, July 21, 1866. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly bene tidal effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel lent food too highly.

The London correspondent of the Leeds Irereury says that there is a difference of opinion in the Cabinet respect ing the education question. There is a strong body in the Ministry who are opposed to any dealing with the question during the coming session. The Ministers who holdthisview found their opinion mainly upon the fact that the mind of the country is not yet made up upon this important matter; and that the ample discussion which is everywhere taking place with respect to it ought not to be checked by any premature legislation. • They are strengthened in this view by the fact that there is already a sufficiently im portant programme of Ministerial measures for the coming session to take up all the available time. On the other hand, Mr. Forster is exceedingly desirous to pro ceed to immediate• legislation, and he is not without many influential supporters in the Cabinet. The matter. was discussed at more than one of the late Cabinet Councils, but no decision has yet been arrived at with respect to it. ADMIRALTY REFORM.S. The London correspondent of the Leeds Mireury says there is but one opinion among commercial men as to the admirable manner in which Mr. Baxter has carried out the great financial reforms of the Admiralty which he inaugu rated !less than twelve months ago. Such reforms have never before been effected within so brief a space of time in any public department, and their effect has been to lighten materially the burthen of taxation upon the country. Mr. Baxter has succeeded in placing the Admiralty, so long notorious for the abuses which flourished in connection with it, upon a sound commercial footing. The removal of the financial and commercial departments of the Admiralty from Somerset House to Whitehall has at last been effected ; and in this way a great saving both of time and of money has been accomplished. There is no doubt that when the navy estimates for the coming year are presented to Parliament, a further reduction will be shewn. in the same direction as last year. Much has been done by a simple alteration in the mode of buying stores, &c., adopted by the Admiralty. Instead of adhering to the old system of tenders--a system which led to many abuses and to the formation of most extraordinary combinations for purposes of private property—a mixed method is now in troduced. It is a mistake to suppose that the Admiralty are not now buying by public advertisement ; but they are also buying up the employment of brokers, as well as by occasional purchases direct, and they are thus enabled to keep in check the abuses of the tender system. Mr. Childers is anxious to defend himself against the charge of needlessly dismissing dockyard workmen. There is more danger of his being attacked from the other side. If it be the fact that there are nine or ten thousand "establish ment men" in the dockyards—men who are there for life, and many of whom know nothing about the building of iron ships—we can hardly wonder that first-rate work men, even though they would work for much less money than these establishment men, are refused admittance to the yards. The time has, I think, come when the Board of Admiralty ought not to be content with mere buying and selling reforms, but ought boldly to grapple with the question of reducing to a peace establishment these vast works, and of putting an end to this absurd system of hiring men for life. The committee now sitting upon the financial affairs of the War Office is likely to recommend that a financial secretary, hold ing the same position as that which Mr. Baxter occupies at the Admiralty, should be appointed for that depart ment. To render ineffectual any attempt to rescue O'Donovan Bosse, who has just been returned for Tipperary, increased military precautions have been taken by the authorities at St. Mary's convict prison, Chatham, where he is now confined. A diary of the Prince and Princess of Wales's tour in Egypt, kept by the Hon. Mrs. Grey, one of the ladies in waiting, has recently been published for private circulation. According to the Court Journal, only four copies, and these handsomely got up, have been printed. The late Earl of Derby, according to Bell's Life, has left to all the male and female servants at Knowsley Hall legacies in the proportion of two months' wages for each year of service. In the case of the old servants the legacies will amount to very handsome sum& He has also left annuities to Mr. Forshaw, stud groom, Mr. John Shaw, keeper of the deer, and others who had been for lengthened periods in his service. The She f field Independent says :—" The delicate state of Lord Salisbury's health renders it improbable that he will take an active part in 'politics during the en suing session; and if it be true that Lord Cairns is deter mined to forego the responsibilities of leadership in the House of Lords, the prospects of the Conservative party are far from being brilliant, unless the new Earl of Derby shall come to the rescue." A NEW OYSTER.—The oyster failure, according ;o the French papers, is about to be remedied in an unex pected way. A new mollusc, which the French call a pal lourde, has suddenly made its appearance in the Paris markets, and is reported to have achieved a great success among oyster :eaters in :that city. It is described as a bivalve smaller than the oyster, and of a more elliptical form, having a delicious flavour which qualifies it tho roughly to take the place of that ruinous delicacy. At present this novel shell-fish, which is eaten precisely in the same way as the oyster, is described as being sold at a rate which places it within the reach of the humblest purse.—Daily News. THE RECENT ROBBERY AT WALSALL.—Since Sunday week divers have been engaged in trying to pick up the bag thrown into the Mersey, at the back of tho Woodside landing stage, by the lad Simpson, when he was apprehended, together with his friend Thompson, charged with being concerned in the robbery of £942 from the office of Messrs. Duignan, Lewis, and Lewis, solicitors, Walsall, at whose office Thompson was engaged. Up to Saturday, however, nothing had been found, but the divers are of opinion that they will ultimatety be success ful as the bottom of the river, near where the bag - is sup posed to be, is very stony. The bag, our readers will remember, contains, according to Simpson's statement, between £5O and £6O in geld, about £6O in bank notes, and a banker's draft on Messrs. Barclay, of London, for £6OO or £7OO. EXTRAORDINARY CONCEALMENT OF SEx.—Con siderable excitement has been caused in the colliery vil lages of Etherley and Toft Hill, Bishop Auckland, during the past few days by a disclosure that has been made by the death of a woman who has for the past fifty years resided in that neighbourhood as a man, and married two wives. It is said that shy came from Scotland fifty years ago in the guise of young man, and obtained employment at one of the collieries, at which she worked as one of the men for some time, and paid her addresses to, and ultimately mar ried, a servant girl living at the village inn. After .her marriage she relinquished working at the pit, and com menced to make bosoms, yellow clay balls, and pipeclay rubbers, which she and her partner vended in the surround ing villages. They had lived together twenty-three years, when the wife died, and the reputed husband professed to lament her loss very much, but at length the grief wore off, and she married a second wife, with whom she lived for a number of years, but not on the most affec tionate terms, and eventually, by mutual consent, they separated. For some time the woman had lain on a bed of sickness, and been dependent upon some kind neigh bours, whom, however, she always prevented coming too near her, and latterly she persisted in wearing trousers in bed. The other day she died, and when the neighbours came, and were doing the usual offices of laying her out, the discovery of her sex was made. The deceased woman gave her name as Josiah Charles Stephenson, and she has often been heard to speak of being heir to some property about Berwick-on-Tweed, but had no money to go and claim it. Many strange stories are told in connection with this singular individual's history. THE NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—A meeting of the guarantors and others interested in this festival was held on Saturday at the Shire-hall, Norwich, Lord Stafford in the chair. Mr. C. R. Gilman, one of the honorary secretaries, read a report from the general committee of the festival of 1869, which stated that the performances had been highly successful from a musical point of view, but that in a pecuniary sense the festival had been a failure, as there was no surplus available for distribution among the local charities. The committee attributed this , adverse result to "peculiar and exceptional circumstances which were not likely to occur on another occasion." The total receipts had been £3,964, and the total expenses £3,968, so that the festival had been attended with a de ficit of £4. The concerts had produced /3,470 of the receipts, and the ball £278. The payments made to the principal vocal performers absorbed £1,244, and those to the instru mental band and organist £B4l. The report was adopted, and votes of thanks were passed to the committee, the secretaries, the assistant secretary, and others concerned in the management. It was resolved, after a short dis. cussion, that the festivals should be continued biennially. On the motion of Mr. I. 0. Taylor, seconded by Mr. R. N Bacon, it was further resolved that a special committee should be appointed to consider whether it was desirable to introduce any changes into the management of the next, festival. Mr. Bacon suggested that the chorus should con f Dist to a greater extent of amateurs, and that more respon sibility should be thrown upon the conductor in respect to . the engagement of artists and the selection of works to be , 4. performed.
