This morning, at Marlborough -street Po court, was fixed for hearing the summonses taken out by Mr. Lee, a shareholder and policy-holder, against the directors of the Albert Life Assurance Company, charging them with conspiracy and fraud. The summonses were against Dr. W. Beattie, M.D., Dr. Peter Hood, Mr. J. W. Johns, Mr. G. Goldsmith Kirby, Mr. E. Vansittart Neale, Dr. Nicholls, the Right Hon. Lord George Paulet, C. 8., Mr. W. Page, Mr. T. Phillips, Mr. T. Stevenson, and Mr. Robert Whitworth, directors of the Albert Life Assurance Company. Mr. Straight, the barrister, then proceeded to state the case against the defendants, and in the course of his speech he read a number of documents to show that the company, after being hopelessly insolvent, continued to carry on business, and to issue false and delusive statements of the financial position of the company. Mr. Edward Lee, of 55, Lancaster-road, Not ting-hill, said in the early part of the year, having a few hundred pounds, which he was desirous of investing, and, after looking about where to in vest it he was attracted by an advertisement of the Albert, stating the half yearly interest of the com pany was iu course of payment, lie also saw reports of the company for 1865-6, and made inquiry respecting the association, and he was led to believe the concern was a safe one for investment, and that the documents were a fair representation of the position of the company, and he gave directions to his broker, Mr. Edward Smith, to purchase shares in the Albert for him. He got 199, and paid ss. 61 for some and 289. Gd. for others. The shares were of different values, and his liability on them was unlimited. lie paid altogether for sh res about £l2O. Ile had had other shares bought for him, but the company stopped before he got the certificates. lie continued buying from Feb. to.lune. lie firmly believed it to be a good investment fur his money. Ile had, whilst buying shares, called at the office in Waterloo-place, and made inquiry, but the secretary being out of town, he saw the accountant, and from what was told to him he bought some more shares. He executed and lodged the transfer of the shares, and after a con siderable time he received the certificates from the office iu Waterloo-place. He first learned that the company was in trouble in July or August from certain publications in the newspapers. After that he received a circular and attended the meet ing of shareholders ou the 28th of August, iu Waterloo-place, Mr. Niell was in the chair, and Mr. Kirby, the manager, was also present. He saw Mr. Price there, and heard him read a report. Assuming that between 1867 and 1868 that over a million loss had been made, he should not have in vested his money. If there had been a loss of £lOO,OOO in the ledger and he had known it, he should not have invested his money. By Mr. Metcalf—He believed undoubtedly that the company was iu a safe and solvent state, al though he bought shares £3 paid for ss. 6d. He thought the shares were depreciated through dul ness of commerce. He did not look at the contract at the tune he bought the shares to see the amount of his liability. After some further evidence had been given the hearing of the case was adjourned. BPDFORD MEETING.—The various events to be run for at this meeting have closed as follows :—Ouse Nur sery I'late, 26 subscribers; Bedfordshire Stakes, 13; Elston Stakes, 33; Trial Handicap, 12; Stratton Park Nursery, 29 ; Scurry Handicap, 32 ; Southill Stakes, 20. GIFT HOESES.—At Hendon, on Thursday, Minotaur (2 yrs) was given by his owner to J. Potter, the Epsom trainer, and Claribel (2 yrs) was presented to Mr. War ner, of the Welsh Harp. The first named is engaged in the Derby, but Mr. Warner's filly has not been nomi nated for any of the great three year old races. lIAWTHoRNDEN.—This Derby colt has for some days been altogether absent from work at his training quarters. We hear that next session it is contemplatedtopresent to Parliament, through an influential member, a petition, signed by some hundreds of gentlemen of position, praying fora measure to legalise betting, and to award licences to commission firms, upon guaranteeing by sureties their re sponsibility and solvency. THE KINGSCLERE HORSES.—Sir Joseph Hawley has set an example to owners of horses by sending eight of his team already to Newmarket to meet their engagements. These comprise Ambitious, Siderolito, Blue Gown, Rosi crucian, Lictor, The Palmer, Pero Gomez, and Madame Eglentine filly. They are all fit and well, and are located at Godding's stables. TEAMP.—This horse, after reigning first favourite for the Cesarewitch for some time, has gone to almost any price. Whether he is " lame," after the manner of Bloss's horses generally, and whether, after all, he will come again in the betting, and win the race to boot, a la Knight of the Garter, must, of course, be left to time to prove. It certainly is anything but a bad sign when horses from this team are knocked out, incongruous as that may seem. LAD VERTlSEMENT.j—lienceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalonta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been ' now add that of his Holiness th e P ope, whose deemed health hopeless,has been we m p a y perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment.

IA 112 113 depth of 4in. to Gin. was in many places nearly_ as hard as concrete. Perhaps the very worst possible soil has iD this experiment been brought under successful irrigation - a6 culture. It is remarked, in the report of the Army Medical Department, that all the elements of the question have been dealt with, and the result has been that the'cilensive barrack and South camp latrines have been abolished, the station drained, all the rernl3 water ren dered innocuous by irrigation, and the fertilising, matter removed out cf it and applied to the production of food on ground which had previously yielded nothing in the form of useful vegetable produce. Mr. Blackburn, the lessee of the Aldershet Farm, has given some interesting information regarding the method of cultivation adopted. The whole sewage of the South Camp and barracks was not turned on to the farm until 1866, scarcely three years ago, and the following have been the results, as regards produce raised per annum on each acre :—Potatoes, 4 to 5 tons ; swedes, 12 tons ; mangolds, 18 tons ; garden turnips, 300 bushels ; cabbages, 16,000 plants. There is, besides, a large area under Italian rye-grass cultivation, which is cut five or six times a year for cows, and four times a year for horses. The lowest cutting averages six tons per acre, the 'highest fourteen tons per acre. The maximum produce is forty tons of rye grass per acre per annum. As the culture advances, the number of articles is increased. The usual cropping of the farm is as follows : Potatoes, 26 acres; Italian rye grass for food, 29 acres; Italian rye grass for hay, 151 acres ; green crops, 611 acres ; total, 77 acres. This absorbs the whole summer sewage of thC camp and barracks. The crops to be raised this year will be Italian rye grass, potatoes, mangolds, swedes, tur nips, cabbages, tares, onions, carrots, and harricot beans. There his been no smell from the farm; the earth deo dorises the sewage as soon as it touches it. Thero are no complaints of nuisance from the irrigated land, nor of injury to health. All the plants grown Ste healthy-look ing and wholesome for consumption. At first there was some prejudice against the produce, but that has been entirely removed." Passing from this subject to that of Sewage Utilisation and Reconstruction of Sewers at Liverpool, our contem porary says :—" The Liverpool Sewage Utilisation Com pany has commenced operations on a small farm at Ince Blundell, and the directors speak hopefully of the pro ject. The undertaking, however, would appear to have been beset with difficulties. In the first place, the nego tiations with Major Blundell for land at Blundell Sands fell through, and it became necessary to carry the pipes three miles further than was originally contemplated. This, of course, was attended with increased expense ; and to make matters worse, several of the warmest friends of the scheme were unable, owing to the com mercial pressure, to give the monetary support which they had promised. Then the Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton insisted upon a deposit of £l,OOO in hard cash as a guarantee against any damage that may arise to their pro perty from the undertaking; and the result is that the company finds itself in a deficiency of about £3,500. The affair is practically at a standstill for want of funds, and an appeal to the shareholders and the public is to be made. The reconstruction of the sewers in Newsham Park, which, on examination, were found to be defective, has been com pleted. Some months ago the *West Derby Local Board, in whose district Newsham Park is situated, and who ultimately will have charge of the whole of the sewers in the park, refused to incur the respon sibility of taking them over until they had been examined, and their construction certified as perfect. This refusal resulted in the borough engineer bang requested to make a careful inspection; and cn this being done it was discovered that in many places the levels of the sewers had been miscalculated ; and it was also found that et several points the brickwork had fallen in, and that the sewers had literally - collapsed. A considerable portion cf the main sewers running through the park was thus con demned and taken up. The sewers are now, on an average, lift, in depth, being about Oft. deeper than those which were condemned as ineffective As the contractor alleges that the original sewers were executed under the superinten dence of the corporate surveying officials at the town-hall, it is, we believe, a matter of uncertainty on whom the cost will fall." At Leamington an..% , reernent has been arrangellntwecn the Earl of Warwick and the Loral Board for the latter to pump the town sewage up-,11 his lordship's estate for thirty years, for £l5O a year. The rise is ever 101 ft., and the dis tance about two miles. It is estimated that the necessary works will cost the Board £12,010, and that the annual expenses will be £7OO. The earl will lake all responsi bility as to injunctions. The AB C precess cf Messrs. Siller and Wijner is in operation at Leamington for this year. The drainage of Brighton is in this position:—Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer called in by the town council to advise it on the point of carrying the sewags to a distance from the town, has made his r3port. Thice " pra , :ticable modes of doing the work are considered by Mr. Hawk shaw ; namely, Ist, by an extension of the present system of deep-sea drainage, the cost of which would be about £66,500 ; 2nd, by an intercepting sewer to the westward, to which there are such " insuper able difficulties " that Mr. Hawkshaw cannot advise its adoption ; and 3rd, by an intercepting sower to the eastward, which Mr. Hawkshaw recommends as " the most perfect and efficient" plan. The cost of this latter plan Mr. Hawkshaw estimates at £BO,OOO. It would include both the Cliftonville and tho Brunswick-square dis tricts. Mr. Hawkshaw concurs with Mr. Hawks ley and Dr. Letheby that sewage delivered into the ocean from 1,500 to 2,000 ft. from the shore is not likely to be productive of disease or objectionable to health ; nor, he adds, "do I believe that any smell arising therefrom can bo detected by per sons on the shore." But, he says, it 3 discharge is plainly visible from the road facing the sea ; to those who go out in boats, and who chance to come near the point of dis charge, the effluvium is unpleasantly evident ; and " those who bathe from boats cannot escape occasionally finding themselves floating in a bath of what must necessarily be far from agrteable." The mouth of the sewer, how ever, Mr. Hawkshaw points out, might bo taken more than double its present distance out to sea —to 4,000 ft.; and he shows how the discolouration of the sea by storm-water might be dealt with in this way. Tho expense would be £66,500. According to Mr. Hawkshaw, the most perfect plan is to construct an intercepting sewer from Cliftonville to Portobello (four miles eastward of the Brighton boundary)—a distance of seven miles and 160 yards—with a fall of three feet per mile, and with, at in tervals, ventilating shafts—" which," adds Mr. Hawk shaw, "could be so arranged as to be unebjectionable." An extraordinary fact was divulged at the meeting of the Cork guardians on Wednesday —namely, that the small-pox has ceased to exist in Ireland. Amongst the subjects which will engage the atten tion of the Church Congress at Liverpool is that of "Sinai and Palestine." Several accounts of the recent ex plorations in the Holy Land will be given, and in the list of papers to be read is one by Mr. Walter Morrison, ono of the members for Plymouth. The Compounding Act has been adopted in Sal ford. It was resolved at a meeting held on Thursday that all owners of houses of a rateable value not exceeding £3 per annum should be rated instead of the occupiers, and .25 per cent. was fixed upon as the abatement to com pounders. It was stated that 11,000 out of 18,000 house holders in tho borough would be affected by the Act. TirE JEWISH BARONETS.—There aro now four Jewish baronets. The first Jew made a baronet was Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, who received a baronetcy from Lord Melbourne's Government in 1841. The next was Sir Moses Mentallore, who received his baronetcy from the outgoing Conservative Government of Sir Robert Peel, in 1846. Sir Moses was the first Jewish knight, his knight hood having been conferred in 1837, on the occasionV,?f bis being one of tho Sheriffs of London when the their. youthful Queen dined with the Lord Mayor and Corpora tion on the first Lord Mayor's day succeeding her acces: 'ion. In the same year the Liberal Government of Lord John Russell made Sir Anthony Rothschild a baronet, the baronetcy having first been offered to, and refused by, his eldest brother, Baron Lionel do Rothschild. Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, who, after becoming an Eng lish baronet, was made a barcn by the Portu guese Government, and usually adopted the foreign title (de Goldsmid and da Palmeira) in preference to the English designation, was :succeeded by his son, the ;resent baronet, Sir Francis Goldsmid, M.P., Q.C., w h o , tith great good taste, elected to adopt the English title of aronet rather than the Portuguese title of baron. The turth baronet is Sir David Salomons. It is - very singular .:that these four baronets have no direct male heirs.';' T.W, t :\ are widowers. There is, excepting Sir Mobs, Wia .e.; frmighthood may bo said to have merged i n hi s benne i but oul Jewish knight, Alderman.
