Dacres, K.C.13., commanding the garrison at Wool -wich, is favourably impressed with the energy and ready disposition of the corps, on whose assistance 1 he has stated he should be willing to rely, in caGe of emergency, as a subdivision to the Royal Artil lery, and is ready to take steps in organising them for that purpose.

In the Lower House of the Legislative Assnmbly (Feb. 29), after routine proceedings consequent upon the opening of the session the following despatch was read :-- "Downing-street, Jan. 30. " Sir,—.As the two houses of the Canadian Legis lature will soon reassemble for the deopatch of business, i 1 becomes my duty to inform you that the joint address to which they agreed at the close of their last session was fully presented to the Queen, and was most graciously reeeived by her Majesty. In that address the Legislative Council and Commons of Canada earnestly pray the Queen to receive in person the tribute of their unwaver ing attachment to her rule, and to honour with her presence her subjects in British North America, upon the occasion of the opening of the great Vic toria Bridge, accompanied by the Prince Contort and such members of the royal family as it may please her Majesty to attend her on the occasion.. " Her Majesty values deeply the attachment to her person and the loyalty to her Crown, whi , 3h have induced this address, and I am commanded to assure the Legislature, through you, how lively an interest is felt by the Queen in the growing pros perity of Canada, in the welfare and contentment of her subjects in that important province of her empire, and in the completion of the gigantic work which is a fitting type of the successful industry of the people. It is, therefore, with sincere regret that her Majesty is compelled to decline compliame with this loyal invitation. Her Majesty feels that her duties at the seat of the empire prevent so long an absence, and at so great a distance as a visit to Canada would necessarily require. Impressed, how ever, with an earnest desire to testify to the ut most of her power her warm appreciation of the affectionate loyalty of her Canadian subjects, the Queen commands me to express her hope that when the time for the opening of the Victoria bridge is fixed, it may be possible for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to attend the ceremony in her Majesty's name, and to witness those gratifying scenes in which the Queen is herself unable to participate. The Queen trusts that nothing may interfere with this arrangement, for it is her Majesty's sincere desire that the young prince, on whom the Crown of this Empire will devolve, may have the opportunity of visiting, that portion of her domi n i ons f rom w hi c h that address has proceeded, and may become acquainted with a people in whose rapid progress towards greatness her Majesty, in common with her subjects in Great Britain, feels a lively and enduring sympathy. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, "NEWCASTLE. "To Governor Right Hon. Sir E. W. Head, Bt." 7'IIE CITY CORPORATION REFORM BILL. A Coiirt of Aldermen was held on Saturday, at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presidinz, to consider the Government Bill for the Better Regulation f the Corporation, and more particularly the resolu tions pawed by the Court of Common Council re lating to the Court of Aldermen. A report came up from the Privileges Committee, calling attention to the resolution passed by the other Court for amend ing the bill, by depriving those aldermen who might sot be re-elected of their seats in the Court of Aldermen, while permitting them to continue justices, and giving the Court of Common Council power to remove justices, not being aldermen, if from any cause they should become unit to dis charge the duties of their office ; and to a further resolution of depriving the Court of Aldermen of the privilege which they now enjoy of approaching the Throne as a distinct body. The committee recom mended that these amendments should be opposed, and that the report should be referred back to the committee, with power to take such steps as they might think fit for that purpose. Mr. Alderman COPELAND, in moving the adop tion of the report, did not wish to say anything at all calculated to awaken controversy. There had been an understanding between the two Courts that they should work together harmoniously for tho common benefit of both, but, us the Court of Com mon Council had passed resolutions affecting their position, he thought the aldermen were bound to look out for themselves. Mr. Alderman WnsoN seconded the motion, ob serving, as chairman of the Privileges Committee, that that committee, during the time that the ques tion of reforming the Corporation had been under reference to them, had preserved a complete accord with the Court of Common Council. believing the interests of the Court of Aldermen to be safe in their hands. Now, however, that the Court of Com mon Council had attacked their privileges, he thought the committee should have full powers to deal with the question as they might see fit. Mr. Alderman CUBITT reminded the Court that he had taken a most active part in the proceedings connected with the reform of the Corporation, and that about three years ago, in order that there might be unison of action between the two Courts, he had drawn up and submitted to the other Court, on the part of the Court of Aldermen, a series of resolutions upon which to found a bill. Subsequently a bill was drawn up by the Remembrancer, taken in to the House of Commons, and read a first time ; but it fell when Sir G. Grey introduced a bill on the same ' subject. That bill fell in its turn, being opposed on account of its fiscal clauses ; and when a Conserva tive Government came into power, Mr. Walpole brought in another bill, in which no provision was made for preserving the existing rights of the Court of Aldermen. In the bill of Sir G. Lewis, however, there was that provision ; and he (Mr. Alderman Cubitt) imagined that the resolution of the Court of Common Council for expunging it would never have been agreed to, if that Court had not forgotten that a similar clause was contained in their own bill. He hoped that a good understanding would still be ar rived at on this point between the two Courts; but if not, he could not, as a member of the House o . f such a gratut ho might not be t e o o u m s nons humiliationup p o support a thosebil l justices cont a ining w re-elected aldermen. After some remarks from Mr. Alderman SALO MONS and Sir J. MusoßovE, the motion was agreed to, and the Court adjourned.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be received, and entered upon the minute, intimated, in answer to a suggestion made on the last occasion when they met together, that the accounts should be placed in the hands of the policy holders some days before they were called upon to adopt them, that the directors had taken the matter into con sideration, and that in future it would be announced in the advertisements calling the meeting, that such of the policy holders as chose to apply at the office for them might have printed copies. They took this course, because in a constituency spread all over the country, and so numerous, it would occasion a considerable expense to send round to all. He purposed now to give a comparative state ment of the business of the office in the years 1858 and 1859, and afterwards a general statement of their present position. It was, however, necessary to state that the year 1859, being the first after the quinquennial meeting, was more prosperous and produced more business than ordinary years, and he thought it right to call their attention to this fact, in order that it might net be supposed that the increase of business had been greater than it really had been. As the figures were larger for the year 1859 he would reverse the natural order by taking 1839 first, then stating the results for 1858, leaving the proprietors present to mark the difference. The number of policies issued in 1859 was 723, while in 1858 it had been 408, showing a difference in favour of 18,7 , 9 over 1858 of 253 policies. These 723 policies, which was the largest number ever issued by the office in one year, as,ured an amount in the aggregate of £530,427 against £323,670, which was th e amount covered by the 255 policies issued in 1858. As showing the gat are of the business, and that the increase was not merely in the number of policies, he might mention that they had issued 20 policies of £5,000 in 1839, against four of that amount in 1858. Of .E 4,000 they had issued one in each year. Between £3,000 and £4,000 the numbers had been 15 in 1839, and 5 in 1858 ; between £2,000 and £3,000 there were 30 in 1859, and 35 in the preceding year ; between £l,OOO and £2,000, 137 in 1859 against 100 in 1858 ; between £5OO and £l,OOO the numbers were 219 in 1859, and 122 in 1858. Under £5OO there were 301 in the latter against 202 in the former year. Not only, therefore, had they increased the number of large policies, but they had widened the influence of the office, which was even of more im portance, when it was recollected that every policy they put out was an advertisement, and every new policy was the centre of a new connexion. The average amount of the policies in the last year was 1734, that of the previous year having been £699, making an increase of £43 per policy. The total amount of new premiums in 1859 was £18,354 2s. 6d., against £10,273 7s. in 1858, being an addition of £B,OBO 15s. 6d. The total income from premiums in 1859 was £192,178 ss. ld., being £9,748 more than in 1858, when it was £182,429 16s. 11d. It might be asked how, if they had in creased their income by £lB,OOO in 1859, as com pared with 1858, the total addition was only £9,000? The difference was occasioned by policies that had fallen in during the year, and to the bonus declared at the quinquennial division having in the case of many of the policies been applied to the reduction of the premiums. He ought further to state that of the 723 policies issued last year 705 were upon the participating. scale, which was their best class of business. On the other side of the account they had lost by death, during the year, 163 policies, assuring £133,970, and carrying in the shape of accumulated bonuses £28,350, making a total of £162,326. This was against 151 policies which had become claims in the previous year, covering £124,481, and £23,687 in the shape of bonus, or, together, £148,168. He had mentioned last year that although they were below the estimated aver age in the number of claims, many large policies had fallen in. So it had also happened in 1859, the number of large policies which had become claims having been greater than they might have, as an average, looked forward to. The average of the policies which had f a ll en d ue i n the past year was £B2l each, and including bonuses £695. But amongst these there vas one policy for £l,OOO, which was payable when the party reached a certain age, and they had also b een unfortunate in havincst £4,500 on a poli c y w hi ch had dated from having to pay first year of tho association. One of these claims was rather a singular one. It was a policy taken out upon the life of a healthy young woman on her marriage, and when it was proposed some questions arose at the board whether it should be accepted. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the danger of loss of life from childbirth was so small that the board would not have been justified in refusing the life, or charging a higher rate of premium. ]Turing the past year, however, the woman had died in giving birth to a child, and the policy had become a claim. These things together brought up the claims for the year to less than £5,000 more than the antici pated average. But on the other hand, during every previous year they had been below the cal culated amount, and amongst the policies which had fallen due in 1859 were some of the oldest in surances in the society. He might further state that while the average duration of life calculated upon at the commencement was e.O years, the deaths out of which these claims had arisen took place at the average age of 583-years, or 81 over the estimated average ; and there was one circumstance which he trusted would encourage them all to live as long as they could—(a laugh)—viz., that amongst the.poli cies that had now become payable there was one which carried bonuses to an extent equal to 87 per cent. upon the original assurance. In addition to the 163 policies w hi c h appeare d as c h ar ges in the present acco un t, 132 ot h ers h a d gone o ff within the year, either by being allowed to lapse , by pur chase, o r by expiration of insurances for a fixed term, so th a t a lt oge th e r the number of policies was thus reduced by 285—a reduction which they must look to the members of the society to make up by their exertions a mongst their frie n d s. So much for the operations of the year ; and now he would explain the position of the asso ciation as it stood. On the Ist of Janua ry, 1 860, they had 8,2 56 policies upon their books, upon whichnsuring the sum of X6,645,456_ the bonuses amounted to £638,192, making a total liability of £7,183,649. To meet this they had an income in ree.2ivable premiums of £188,165 per annum, and an interest upon investments of about L 72,000, mak i ng a total annual income of, in round numbero, II 4/11 %
