Those of us who live by tl.e telling, or live for the reading, of news, have been thus far sorely disappointed. We looked forward to this session as a sort of golden time, full of skirmishes, surprises, and battles ; but the whole thing is as dull and spiritless as a mock fight upon a stage. The end is known from the be ginning. It is in that respect like the Dano-German war of five years ago. The Danesare very brave, and stand by their flagon(' shout " No surrender !" in a way that excites more admiration for their pluck than approbation for their prudence. They are hopelessly outnumbered. Their Diippel must fall sooner or later ; it is only a question of a few weeks, more or less. And while there is none of the excitement of uncertainty, there is also no interest in the subject of the quarrel. The Schleswig-Holstein question of 1864 was not more wearisome than the Irish Church question of to-day. One is absolutely nauseated by the very words, and when it comes to columns upon columns of debate ; when Mr. Dis raeli propoies amendments as long as all the arms of Briareus put together, and Mr. Gladstone follows suit; when Sir G. Jenkinson proposes thirteen amend ments, Mr. Pim nine, and the whole amend ments together occupy eight printed folio pages ; when Mr. Newdegate threatens to fight the whole battle over again from the beginning; when Mr. Aytoun prates about Maynooth ; and when the thermometer is up to seventy in the shade, really life becomes hardly bearable. Newly-elected M.P.s little know the nights of intolerable ennui they were preparing for themselves some six months PRICE.... id. STAMPED sd. INCORPORATED LAW SOCIETY, U.K.— '. LECTURES and LAW CLASSES, 1868-69. LECTURES. Three Courses of Lectures on Common and Mercantile Law, Conveyancing, and the Law of Real Property and Equity, will be delivered in the Hall of the Society in the months of April, May, and June next. LAW CLASSES In connexion with the lectures classes will ho conducted under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers, and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The number of subscribers to oach class will ho limited, and the instruction given wiil be confined to en ex.ainioation of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject. A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex amination will test, front time to ime, the progress made by the students. _ _ LECTURES on COMMON and MERCANTILE LAW, by CHARLES HENRY ANDERSON, Esq., Barrister at-Law. The Course will consist of Nino Lectures upon the fol lowing subjects : a. Simple Contracts . ago. Of course no one supposes that any of Mr. Disraeli's important amendments will be carried. The Liberal party could not possibly support them. There is abso lutely no material out of which to make a Caie. The bill will go to the Lords substantially in its present condi tion. Will they adopt the amendments? Possibly; though, if they do, the Commons will, of course, dissent from them, and their; lordships will thei give way. There are some persons sanguine enough to suppose that the amendments will take such a long time in the Lower House that the Upper will plead want of time to consider the bill this year, and that Lord Salis bury's proposal will be adopted, whereby the Lords may take up in the next session the bill which has passed the Commons in the preceding session. But it is difficult to see how the Opposition would gain by this. Delay may be of use when parties are at all nearly equal ; but in this matter the Conservatives are overwhelmingly outnum bered, and the best thing they can do is to expedite the settlement of the question and look out for another less hopeless. c.

Practical Suggestions in connexion with the subject of Settlements. The number of pictures sent into the Royal Academy last week was something appalling to everybody except the porters. It was so large that the academicians, who are always allowed a day or two longer to send in their works, were put off beyond the usual period. The theory is that the fate of all pictures is de cided according to their merits ; but theory and practice are not always identical. At the old building size was a very important element of fitness. Supposing the three hangers wanted to fill in a space between two other pictures, they could not lut have regard to the number of inches which had to be occupied. Then came the turn of the porters to choose. They, of course, being wholly and passionately devoted to art, would bring forward the pictures that seemed in their highly-trained and critical judgment the most deserving. It was really touching to notice the devotion with which some of these men would cling to certain pictures ; how they would on every possible and impossible 0( c„tsion bring them to the front again and again. They could not have sliewn greater pertinacity even if they had been feed. But the porter mind, refined by constant associa tion with art, is of course above all sordid considerations. Tbis year, however, these judges will scarcely have so much opportunity for displaying their enthusiasm, inasmuch as the pictures will not be hung closely together, so that the three hangers, being less restricted in the matter of inches, will trust less to the judgment of the porters and more to their own.

The directors draw special attention to the fact the t the next bonus valuatio❑ will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate i❑ 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 is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

Coutts and Co. ; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; lorries owl Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, rapid, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co.,Berners- street ; at the Hospital from 10 till 5. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jectionopinion n d o e t fo u e n t r e va t" o u r e n u t n l y e e r urged tai n, by y y personsreason of the n t b y e i t e o d p e t r o a t i l o s n o s sure, that e eu s customary aordinary conditions,ntode of a v L e i fe resolvedAs s Assurance t t i o ce pr i so promulgate ltglrodier c Assurances c u o n n d cli e r t i t o l e a t l n , I b 't e tbl a e b s, so a l n u d tel t y o i u ss n u f e or A fe s it s a n b rit e n , w th i e lie p h res s e h n a t ll and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t ) the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this p lan will b e without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or oth er usua l limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are loss than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

Among the exhibitors to the Water Colour Society, which opens on the 26th, will be Mr. Richardson and Mr. Gastineau, who, though not far short of 80 years of age, sends, I believe, nearly a dozen pictures. Mr. Yeames sends a picture to the Academy in which one of the figures is a portrait of his wife. The Water Colour Institute has its private view on Saturday. Mr. Holman Hunt has, I be lieve, at last left Florence for the Holy Land. He has been detained in the Italian capital a year while superin tending the erection of a memorial to his wife. He is likely to spend several years in Palestine. Visitors to London may like to be informed that his " Christ in the Temple" and " Isabella and the Pot of Basil" will be on view during the season at Messrs. Gambart's, to whom both works belong. Mr. Hunt has recently somewhat touched up the former work by softening the red tint of our Lord's hair, and also by restoring the right-hand portion of the picture, which was injured by a fire that nearly des troyed this great work. There has been a great gathering of amateurs at Christie's to-day. They were attracted by the announce ment that the Turners belonging to Mr. Ruskin were for sale. The room was densely crowded, and the competition very keen. Turner's " Slave Ship " went for 1,945 guineas ; " The Lake of Lu cerne " for 980 ; " The Lake of Brientz " for 312. The sale is continuing as I write. Of other pic tures also disposed of, 'l'ayler's " The Keeper's Daughter" was knocked down for 290 guineas, Copley Fielding's " Scene between King's House and Inverary" for 440, and the same artist's " Off Portsmouth " for 460. Brett's " Vat D'Aosta " went for 245 guineas. The Siamese Twins are the peg upon which a good many jokes are hung just now. There is one story to the effect that a certain gentleman, well known in club land for the weakness of being supposed to know everybody, was asked if he had seen the Siamese Twins, and replied, "Oh yes, I met one of them in the Park yesterday." Still better is the remark said to have been made in all seriousness by a gentleman, who certainly was not born on the eastern shore of St. George's channel—" It is fortunate that the twins know each other well ; it might have been very awkward if they had been strangers." Persons accustomed to pass through Trafalgar-square will have noticed from time to time a sturdy disreputable beggar, who is blind in both eyes. This man is a notorious scoundrel. He is no other than Hare, the associate of Burke in the Edinburgh murders, which originated the term " Burking, " forty-one years ago. Hare turned Queen's evidence, and so saved his own neck from the gallows. Subsequently he went to work under an assumed name, but his fellow-workmen, discovering who he was, threw him into a lime pit, and there his eyes were burnt out. He now appeals to the charity of the public, who have, of course, no idea who he is. At length Mr. Murray is able to announce definitely Mr. John Forster's long-expected life of Walter Savage Landor. It is to appear on May 3, almost simul taneously with the diary of his old friend, Henry Crabbe Robinson, which is being published by Macmillan. Sir John Taylor Coleridge is adding considerably to his Life of Keble, which will probably appear in two volumes. Miss Yonge, the novelist, is writing her Recollections of Keble. Messrs. Bell and Daldy have purchased the copyright of Charles Knight's " Pictorial History of England," and Messrs. Hogg that of the " Directorium Anglicanum." Another item of literary news is that Dr. William Smith (author of the Classical Dictionaries), having undertaken the editorship of the Quarterly Review, will not offer himself for re-election a s classical examiner of the London University. The Pall Mall Ga.:ette has thought proper to give a notice of the proceedings in reference to the British Lying-in Hospital, which conveys about as incorrect a notion of the actual facts as it was possible to give in the space devoted to the notice. Dr. Edmonds, one of the physicians of the hospital, is accused of very strong language to Dr. Beck, but it is not mentioned that Dr. Beck committed an assault on Dr. Edmonds so serious that the assailant was fined five pounds by a magistrate. Dr. Edmonds is represented as having threatened Mr. Hoare and others with contempt of court if they " continued their investigation." The fact is, that by the advice of counsel they were informed of the pending action, in order that they might not commit a contempt of court by repeating defamatory statements. A full investigation did take place, and it was continued until Mr. Hoare himself proposed the following resolution :—" That the board, having investigated the more important of the charges conveyed in the printed evidence, and having found them entirely unsubstantiated, think it unnecessary to go further into the inquiry, and acquit Dr. Edmonds of any unprofessional conduct as physician to this hospital." After having proposed this resolution, Mr. professes s s p e s r. t b d e m s o i n i r d p s ri t s o e d resin,tllat th a e n d bo ahrads have d n o a t b called iare general meeting, at which he proposed that Dr. Edmonds should:be dismissed if lie did not resign. An amendment, proposed by Canon Nisbet to Mr. Hoare's resolution, again exonerated Dr. Edmonds from all charges, but requested him to resign, in order to promote the peace of the h3spital. This amendment was carried, but it was thought by many of Dr. Edmonds's friends that as he was entirely acquitted of the charges, his accusers, and not Dr. Edmonds , o ug ht to be ca lled upon to take that step.
