REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietors differs in its tenor but little save is one or twc particulars from that laid before then, in 1868. The income of the year, it will be seen, amounts to £540,499 18s, and the total charge to £445,077 10s. 9d. The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, taised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

Id., of which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new aseurancos effected in the year. The interest from investments is .£120,959 129. 101, or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and lass account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a hide to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £30P,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management are greater by nearly 000 than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the compan)'s securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE -SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. DR.

Don JLTAN, otherwise the Count DE REL'S, other wise the Marquis DE LOS CASTF:LLEGOS, otherwise General, or, in fact, now, more correctly, Marshal PRIM, the Leader of the Spanish Revolutionists, the Pacificator and actual Ruler of Spain since the date of the overthrow of the whole fabric of Monarchical Government in that country, is signalising at this moment, in a remarkable manner, the utter collapse, rather than the complete suppression, of the Carlis t movement. Leaving the Regent SEnnallo at Madrid, Punt, the real Master of the Situation, is at this mo ment relaxing his rather overwrought energies by enjoying a holiday excursion to the north of the Pyrenees. If matters were not in a safe and sP. tiL•fictory condition at the Spanish Capital, we may be quite certain of this that Marshal Pent would not be absenting himself from Madrid very willingly. Expatriated as he has often been, he has won for himself so recently the absolute mastery of the fortunes of his country, that he would hardly slacken his grasp of the reins of Government for the mere sake of the luxury of a little repose, during this month of September, unless he saw and knew for that matter that he could do so with impunity. Born in 1811, he is now inhis fifty-eighth year, strong through the very misfortunes he has had to endure, and taught by a wonderful variety of political ex periences. A Castalian by birth, he has, now, throughout the lifetime of a whole generation, shown himself to be intensely alive to the necessity of vindicating, at' all hazard to his own person and individual fortunes, the honour and glory of the whole race of the Spaniards. In the de velopment or manifestation of his ambition as a Patriot, PRIM has shown himself to be, at any rate during the last quarter of a century, now as an Exile, now as an Insurgent, now as a Revolutionary Leader, now as a Minister or Administrator, persistent and thorough in his consistency. During the first ten years of his public life, namely, from 1833 until 1843, he was, in his capacity as a soldier, it is true, a devoted adherent of the Child-Queen ISABELLA 11., and, during the first three or four of those ten years, an earnest champion of the interests of the Queen-Mother CHRISTINA. His entrance as an officer into the Royal army occured in 1833, simul taneously with ISABELLA'S ascension. It was in 1837 that he was promoted to his Colonelcy. CIIRIS TINA having been expelled from Spain, PRIM asso ciated himself with the political party then opposed to ESPAP.TERO'S dictatorship—namely, the great, and powerful, and - intelligent party of the I'rogressistas. In 1842 he was charged with complicity in the in surrectionary movement at Saragossa and, in conse quence of this accusation, crossed the Pyrenees into France, where he for a time allied himself with the little group who were conspiring to aid Queen CHRISTINA in bringing about a reaction, or, in other words, a restoration. In the year following, that is, in 1813, he returned into. Spain, however, having been elevated to a seat in the Cortes as representa tive of the city of Barcelona. In that character he took part in the coalition which was then brought about between the hitherto divided foes of Es- P.arrrErto, the Christinos, and the Progres3istas. PRIM could do so consistently, for, in point of fact, he was both one and the other, he was a Christino and he was a Progressista. Leading a revolt in the May of 1813 at his native place, Rens, he and his followers were driven out of that town by Zunnaso, ' one of Esr.v.rmuo's ikutenants. PRIM, in his dis comfiture, found refuge, however, among his own coustitueLts at Barcelona. • Shortly after, xards came the downfall of - Don BALDOMEP.O Es- PARTERO, Marshal and Regent of Spain, and PI ince of VITTORIA EsrarrrEno's over- throw bringing Qicen CHRISTINA back to power, and, among other changes, winning for Dos JUAN Pram the rank of General, the title of COUNT of REus, and the position of G-ivernor of the Capital. A revolt breaking out soon after this at Barcelona, General Plum was de: patched thither by CHRISTINA'S Government, with a view to insure in the most effec tual way the supprersion of the insurrectionary move ment. The authorities were in this, however, entirely disappointed in their expectations. Instead of put ting down the insurgents with a strong hand, PRIM, for the better carrying ou t o f h i s own personal ambition, it was thought, kept alive the popular turmoil for the better part of a whol twelvemonth in those disturbed districts of Ca.taloaia. In conse quence of the suspicions, or rather worse than merely vague suspicions, he had thus excited, he was arraigned at the bar of justice on two very heir.ous charges—first of all, on the charge of High Treason, and, iu the next place, ou the distinct charge of complicity in the attempt which had been made at NARVAEZ'S assassination. It is hardly necessary to remind any one nowadays of the fact, that, upon the latter accusation, Punt was fully and honourably acquitted. Upon the former, however, he was condemned under a modified sen tence of incarceration. . Thereupon for s)me time his patriotic ardour was not unnaturally chilled and repressed. Until 1853, in fact, he seemed to shrink from publicity. In that year, however, he took service under VIER PACIIA, and wan fresh dis- tinction, at the point of his sword, in Silistria. Re called, in 1855, by his faithful constituency at Bar celona, to a seat as once more Deputy in the Cortes, General Punt, some two or three years afterwards, was elevated to the rank of Senator. lie was then Lieutenant-General of Spain and Captain-General of Grenada. In 1860 hereaped fresh laurels in Morocco, and towards the close of 1861 was appointed to take command of the SpaniSh Expedition then intended to act in concert wittl the forces of France and England against President JUAREZ, the then leader of the Mexican Government. It was on the 4th of January, 1866, that General PP, D 1 raised in Spain, ineffectually, as the event proved, the standard of insurrection. The rest of his public history is too vividly within the remembrance of us all to require, here, any precise record by way of reminder. The whole is within our immediate observation. SERRANO is there nominally, it is true, as Regent, at the head of the Revolutionised Spanish Government. But the real head of that Government, the actual Master of the Situation, as we have said, is, within the recogni tion of all Europe, Paus. Pant, in effect, is PREMIER. Ile has the laws of Spain at his commanding. And so firmly has he secured his ascendancy, that he can enjoy, that he is actually at this moment enjoying, a holiday excursion beyond the Pyrenees. THE land question of Ireland is a social problem of exceeding difficulty, but it may be entered upon with a feeling of confidence, which may justly be derived from past experience. Had no improvement been visible in the condition of the sister isle, had the position of to-day been the position of half a century ago, the despair shewn in some quarters, the policy of inaction so freely advocated, might have appeared reasonable. But scarcely any country in the world has made greater progress of late years than this " hopeless " province across the St. George's Channel. The entire social organisation of the country has changed within the memory of the generation now living. Twenty years ago Ireland was burdened with an enormous excess of inhabitants, and this population exiAted iu the worst ponible relations, Vae auta gonism of race and creed was then at its height. The land was mostly in the hands of owners who never visited their property. Nume rous landlords were unable to fulfil a single duty of their position ; they could neither make improvements, nor pay others for making them. Other landlords were able, but were not willing, to discharge their obligations. In many other instances, "middlemen," interposing between the owner and the occupier, worked infinite mischief. Worse than all, the entire land was overspread by a dense cottier population—a class without hope, condemned first to serfdom and penury, and in the end to pauperism and want. Whatever disputes there may be as to this or that point of the land question, it is now pretty well agreed that of all forms of tenure that of a cottier is the worst. The system arose through the deficiency of capital. The farmer, unable to pay wages in money, delivered to his labourer a piece of bind ready manured, the rent of which was worked out in labour at a money valuation. The effect of this tenure is that the plots of land are open to the competition of the whole population, and the labour rent is soon forced to the highest possible point. The land is a fixed quantity, and as the population increases so does the rent of the cottier plots. No prudence on the part of the cottier can prevent his neighbour over-bidding him. The ultimate effect in Ireland was that the peasantry were saddled with more labour-rent than they could possibly pay, and were always in debt. The hopeless misery of such an existence grew more intense year after year, until a terrible affliction brought the end. The potato crop failed, the famine ensued, and the masses of wretched humanity sought refuge from death in an unparalleled emigra tion. Since then the state of the country has rapidly improved. Such of the cottiers as were left have been transformed into agricultural labourers. Wages are higher, the absentee landlords are fewer, landed property hal; Imprvytil, cus woll as agri culture, and millions of waste acres have been reclaimed. The worst features of "landlordism" have vanished—let us hope for ever. It is often asked, Why, if time has brought about all these improvements, should not the same agency be allowed to complete the work ? The answer is simple. These changes have not come in the natural order of things. It was not in the course of nature that half a nation crossed the Atlantic; that a strin gent Poor Law assisted this emigration,"and prevented more pauperism from settling on the Irish soil ; that good laws were made to simplify and reform tenures, and to attract capital to the forsaken country; that the Imperial Exchequer was made to contribute loans for the improvement of landed property. - Yet it is to these reforms that the progress of the last twenty years is owing. Surely the same means may yet further amend these good results. If wise laws have commenced the work of mercy, more wise laws should be allowed to carry it on. There are yet very many sore grievances in Ireland which await" reform. The same picture is a fair representation of the entire country, if Ulster be excepted. The owner and the occupier are generally of different religious creeds, and the landlord is very often an absentee; but these can be accounted only as of minor import. The worst evil of the landed system in Ireland is that the tenant farmer is almost univer sally unprotected by a lease or other security. Some leases are granted, but the majority of tenants may be changed at the will of the owner, at short notice. The evils which arise from this state of affairs are aggravated by the fact that improvements in land are, as a general rule, the work of the occupier. The owner seldom does anything to amend his property, and yet he may, and sometimes does, appropriate the fruits of the farmer's labour without paying a farthing in return. It is in his power to expel a tenant after the latter has laid out a considerable sum in money, the land being then relet at a higher rate. It often happens that a new tenant pays money to the old one for the goodwill of his holding, and for the improvements which he has made. But this payment confers no right of any kind upon the new corner. He may be turned out at a brief notice immediately of ter taking possession of the holding for which he has paid. It is clear that such a landed system con fers great and unreasonable powers on the land lord. True the arbitrary exercise of such power is not very common. Good landlords, who will not take an unfair advantage, are to be found in Ireland as elsewhere, and, moreover, a terrible revenge too often awaits the owner who " does what he likes with his own." But oppression is not unfre quent. The most common form of it is when the landlord raises the rent in consequence of improve ments which the tenant bimself has effected. In some cases notices to quit are regularly served every year in order to give the landlord the opportunity of adding as much rent as he pleases. This sort of oppression, of course, has its limit ; but grievous injury may be inflicted before that limit is reached. Eviction does occur under deplorable circumstances. The vote of the tenant " goes with the land." In one or two instances the widows of tenants have been forbidden to remarry ! On another occasion, just brought before the public a widow who had lost husband, son, and daughter wished to have her surviving daughter in the house, but was informed that "the rules of the estate " would not permit this companion to reside on the same holding with her. The widow took her daughter and was turned out. These acts of tyranny are grievous, but there is a worse result of the land system—worse, because it is of more general effect. More detrimental than any actual oppression is the feeling of insecurity which is every where the consequence of a one-sided land tenure. A man will do much for property which is his own, he will do something for a tenancy which is secured to him for a moderate period, but he will seldom do anything on land which may at any time be given to another occupier. When the reputation of the landlord is high, the tenant will expend his money on the good faith of the owner. In all cases he must, in order to live, make certain improvements when the landlord will not. But it is clear that the natural result of a tenancy-at-will is to restrict the development of the soil's resources, and to hamper the industry of the occupier. It is idle to assert that such conditions are the same as those under which we manage pretty well in England. There is much tenancy-at-will in the larger island, but the attendant circumstances are very different. The farmer is generally well-to-do, often wealthy, and is not at the mercy of the landlord as is the Irish peasant. The improvements in England are, for the most part, made by the owner ; in Ireland the greater part of the work falls on the occupier. There is none of that want of sympathy between the two parties in England which in Ireland is engendered by difference of race and religion. And, lastly, England does not need to be rescued from a condition of hopeless misery, as the sister isle, to a certain extent, yet does. The evil is peculiar, and the remedies must be peculiar also. SII:ES AND SONS.—Mr. George Horcan, a fa-mer at Liscortlo, in Ireland, has been gored to deL.tla by a bull. About ten yea' s ago Mr. Ilorean's father was killed in the same way by a sire of the same animal. The iron-clad double screw turret ship Cerberus, 4, 250-horse power, in the fourth dock at Chatham, has bad a number of additional shipwrights and mechanics placed on board, in order that the work of fitting and completing her may he carried on as expeditiously as possible. She is to bo fitted with a fore and aft deck to enable her to be navigated out to Australia, as it would be dangerous to despatch her round the Cape i❑ her present condi tion without bulwarks, and with her exceedingly low freeboard. The deck with which the Cerberus is to be fitted will be removed as soon as she arrives at Melbourne. Her steering apparatus will also require to undergo some improvement, the Cerberus during her late repeated trials having been found to steer very badly. A number of hired mechanics have been entered at the dockyard for service on bond the Cerberue. NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE. GUA AMARELLA restores the Homan Hair to its pristine hue, no matter at what ago.

IVe have now before us the latest productions of "Dewdrop" in the shape of two brilliant waltzes and a Polka-mazurka, the former being distinguished as the "Apple Blossom " and " Gossamer." The first composition, " Apple Blossom," opens with a quaint but enchanting melody, and eventually a set of delightful waltzes ensue, each as brilliant and sparkling as a fairy fountain. "Gossamer" is, if it be possible, still more charm ing than the first mentioned ; and it is difficult to say which is till sweetest composition. As a g of melody, "Gossamer" is delicious; as musical com positions, both are worthy the highest commendation. The "Mazurka" is also a particularly pleasing contri bution to our dance music ; it is one that will assuredly become a great favourite during the en suing season. Messrs. Cocks, the publishers, have secured in " Dewdrop" a composer who will shortly become one of the greatest public favourites, and one whose brilliant effusions bid fair to eclipse even those of the celebrated composer of the renowned " Mabel" and " Hilda" waltzes.

The same paper says that the Prussian Cabinet has recommended the Khedive to hasten his journey to Con- stantinople in order to settle his differences with the Sultan. 6 , 71 44,0441. u 0 Tt HER MAJESTY.

The Nonconformlet in itq "Eeeleidastical Notes" says: "Another State Church is doomed--making the third within the last three months. We find from the Grenada Chronicle, which is just to hand, that in the House of Assembly of that colony a motion was made on the 20th July for a committee to consider the propriety of introducing a bill to provide salaries for the Roman Catholic priests ; in other words, to carry out a system of "concurrent endowment." The ecclesias tical condition of Grenada bears some resemblance to that of Ireland, inasmuch as the greater proportion of the people are Roman Catholics. The motion in question, therefore, produced great excitement, and several amend ments were brought forward. At last it was agreed as follows :—That a bill be introduced, to take effect from the Ist January, 1870, from which date the Esta blished Churches of England and Scotland in this colony, as establishments, shall cease, duo regard being had to all personal interests and rights of property. That means be introduced or devised in the bill, giving authority to organise a scheme for their maintenance as free churches. That the present holders of benefices shall have the option of continuing in their pre sent livings, and at their present salaries for years, from Ist June, 1870, or, by resigning at once their livings, to have and to receive a compensation, calculated at 14 years' purchase of their present incomes, at 4 per cent. per annum, forlife, or on their accepting employment else where. That to these free churches shall be assigned the several churches, chapels, schoolhouses, &c., as may have been built by voluntary or by State and voluntary aid of Protestants and Presbyterians, and such land and glebes, &c., as the present established Churches may equitably claim. That the offices of parish clerks and sextons shall be entirely abolished from Ist January, 1870 ; and that a certain sum shall be voted annnally, to be applied to the repairing of all churches and chapels of every denomi nation." THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Flinch.) I Tnow, NOT.—Should you like to be caught giving a crossing-sweeper a shilling, and asking him for elevenpence halfpenny change? FASHIONABLE ARRIVAL. —Airs. Malaprop, whose last letter was dated from Frankfort-on-the-Odour, has re turned home to the family Illation at Ball's Bond. She rather shocked some Temperance friends by telling them that she came in a "screwed " steamer. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL FOOLERY.—The Standard, of course meaning no offence to Mr. George Potter, says that we must have no more pottering with interests of such tremendous importance as those of Colonial Govern. ment. Yes, and what is more, we must have no pottering in our dealings with China, except as to Chinese clay. No 31011 E MorrlrLt.—A Medical Correspondent of the Times, the other day, complained that the problem of the gold curren?y would " prolong the sleepless habit of the session to the indefinite postponement of that serene and dreamless sleep the overtasked brain demands after the hard work of the session." The profession of this gentle man makes his view of the gold currency with relation to sleep appear extraordinary. He must entertain peculiar notions about the matters commonly accounted narcotics. Would he administer opium or hyoscyamus in cases of coma, or of a tendency to somnulence? Most are so constituted that "Not poppy, nor mandragora, Nor all the sleepy balsams of the East," could ever " medicine" them to that sound sleep which they would "owe" the Chancellor of the Exchequer if they were to read any one of the letters written by finan cial and pecuniary gentlemen for the enlightenment of the British public on Mr. Lowc's production of the sovereign. (From Fan.) How's THAT, ITurinE!—What is the difference between the "habitual criminal" and an indifferent cricketer? One is " run in," the other " run out." A Dn.a.w.—We lately heard of two rival tooth-drawers who arrived at a country fair, and opened their opposition booths alongside of each other. One of them put up a large placard bearing the words--" Facile Princeps." his neighbour immediately wrote up "Facile Forceps." We should think he "got the pull," at any rate. A man named Johnson, who had been committed to Lewes Gaol for six months for picking pockets at Brigh ton races, made his escape on Tuesday aftcrnocn, and has not yet been beard of. _ _ _ The Bishop of Ripon, the Church News says, has just refused to ordain men to curacies if they will not deny the doctrine of the Real Presence, although he is well aware that the incumbents by whom they were presented believe that doctrine, and will not hays curates who do not hold it. Archbishop Manning assisted at the opening of a Roman Catholic chapel, at Tadcaster, on Tuesday. There was Pontifical high mass in the forenoon, the Bishop of Beverley being the celebrant. In tho course of the service the Archbishop preached a long sermon on the unity and stability of Roman Catholicism. Them never was a time, ho said, when the Romish Church made greater progress than she was doing now; nor did ho think there was a time when the Romish faith was more explicit, undeniable, and, ho would even venture to say, uudenied than at present. The Church News has a very strong leader against Dean, Stanley, especially denouncing his appointment to a bishopric. There are times (it says) when rebellion is not only excusable, but a positive duty. Such a time may be at hand if, as report suggests, Dr. Stanley should be nominated by Government to a bishopric. If for sufficient reasons the Church allows the State to nominate the members of the Episcopate, it must be on the condition that they are true members of the Church. If this condition is violated, the Church must resist the aggression at any cost. Those who bold communion with Dr. Colenso, says the Church News, have ceased to be in communion with the Church Catholic in England. Ergo, the Dean of Westminster is not in com munion with the Anglican Church. At the Norwich election inquiry further evidence has been given as to the distribution of the mcney provided at Mr. Allen's. Bribery bad also been proved on the part of a man named Hardiment. The bribery seems to have been carelessly managed. - - At Beverley it has been proved in evidence that Thomas Hutchinson and others on the Parliamentary polling-day walked about for hours 'coking for somo ono to buy their votes. They first tried the Liberals, but got nothing ; then the Conservatives, and got nothing. They than voted for tho Liberals. 'William Loftlicuse, a watorman, wrote from Hull, asking if the Con servatives would pay his expenses if ho voted, and was told they would not. A voter, who got 15s. for his munici pal vote from a canvasser for Maxwell and Trollope, said ho voted for the Liberals, because that party was entitled to gratitude for granting household suffrage. Simuo slight evi dence has been given of treating years ago. A detachment of the th Regiment has pro ended from Upnor Castle, Chatham, to Tilbury Fort, for the purpose of doing duty at that station. Lieutenant P. Walker and Lieutenant W. Watson proceeded with the troops. Her Majesty having been pleased to approve of Colonel J. J.
