In the Lower House of the Legislative Assembly (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 despatch of business, is becomes my duty to inform you that the joint address to which they agreed at the c l ose of their last session was fully presented to the Queen, and was most graciously received 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 Comort and such members of the royal family as it may please her Majesty to attend her on tho occasion. "Her Majesty values deeply the attachment to her person and the loyalty to her Crown, which 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 is 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 compliance with this loyal invitation. Her Majesty feels that her duties at the seat of the empire prevent so long an absence, and at so grea t a di s t ance as a visit t oc' 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, fox 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 dominions from which 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.

Head, Bt." 711 E OITY CORPORATION REFORM BILL, -+-- A Court of Aldernicm was held on Saturday, at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding, to consider the Government Bill for the Better Regulation tf the Corporation, and more particularly the resolu tions passed by the Court of Common Council 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 not 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 unfit 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 the common benefit of both, but, as 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 WILSON 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 CITIIITT 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 Subsequentlyb m ill iffaneertake e was the drawn up by the Berne. , in to 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- Live Government came into power, Mfr.lValpole 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 Cabitt) 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 asimilar 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 of Commons, support a bill containing such a gratui tous humiliation to those justices who might not bik re-elected aldermen. Aft e r some remarks from Mr. A lderman SALO MONS and Sir I. MUSGROVE, the motion was agreed to, and the Court adjourned.

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 1859 first, then stating the results for 1858, leaving the proprietors present to mark the di&renee. The number of policies issued in 1859 was 723, while in 1858 it had been 468, showing a difference in favour of 189 over 1858 of 255 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 the amount covered by the 255 policies issued in 1858. As showing the nature of the business, and that the increase was mot merely in the number of policies, lie might mention that they had issued 20 policies of £5,000 in 1859, against four of that amount in 1858. Of £4,000 they had issued one in each rear. Between £3.000 alai £4,000 the numbers had been 15 in 1859, 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 £734, 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. fid., 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. Id., being £9,748 more than in 1858, when it was £182,429 16s. lid. 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 £0,000? 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 703 were upon the participating scale, which was their best class of business. On the other side of the Recount they had lost by death, during the year, 163 policies, assuring £133,976, and carrying in the shape of acc umulated 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. Ho had mentioned last year that although they were below the estimated aver age in the number of claims, m any l arge 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 forw ar d t o. T he average of the policies which had fallen d ue i n t h e past year was £ii2l each, and including bonu ses £495. But amongst these there was one policy for £l,OOO, which was payable when the party reached a certain age, and they had also b een un f ortunate in having to pay £4,500 on a policy which had dated from the first year of the association. One of these claims was rather a singular one. It was a policy taken out upon the life of a healthy you e g woman on her marriage, and when it was proposed some questions arose at the board whether it should be accepted. Upon inquiry it w as ascerta i ned that the danger of l oss of life from childbirth was so small that the board would not hav e b een justified in refusing the life, or charging a higher rate of premium. l )miring the past year, h owever , th e woman h a d died in giving birth to a c hild, an d t h e po li cy h a d b ec ome a claim. These thing s t oge th er b roug ht 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 i 0 years, the deaths out of which these claims had arisen took place at the average age of 581 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 parried bonuses to an extent equal to 87 per cent. upon the original assurance. hi addition to the 163 policies which appeared as charges in the present account, 132 others had golly off within the year, either by being allowed to lapse, by pur chase, or by expiration of insurances for a fixed term, so that altogether 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 amongst their friends, So much for the o perations of the year ; a n d now he would explain the position of the asso ciation as it stood. On the Ist of January, 1860, they had 8,256 policies upon their books, i nsur i ng the sum of £6.545,457, the bonuses upon which amou nted to £638,192, making a total li a bility o f £7,183,649. To meet this they had an income in receivable premiums of £188,165 per annum, and an interest upon investments of about £72,000, making a total annual income of, in round numbers, _.rte--~-~' cks. ate of Gus ;ourt, ovent S and-
