The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation 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 in 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. London, March 18, 1869. ROYAL SCHOOL for DAUGHTERS of OFFICERS of the ARMY, Lansdown, Bath. _ _ Instituted, A.D., 1864. Under the Patronage of her Majesty the QUEEN. President—ll.R.H. the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, K.G., &c. Chairman—Major-General Sir A. J. LAWRENCE, K.C.B. This school has been founded upwards of four years, and it is intended for the education of the daughters of officers of the army, Indian and Marines. There are already 70 pupils in the school, but more could be admitted if the committee had further funds; they, therefore APPEAL to the public to aid them in carrying out to its full extent the benefits of the only institution specially provided for the daughters of officers of the Army. Each donation of £5 ss. entitles to one life vote at all elections. Each annual subscription of £5 55 entitles to one vote at all elections during the current year. The amount may be forwarded by an order on a bank, agent, or post-office (Charing-cross ), payable to. GEO.W. FORSTER, Under Secretary. Office, 22, Cockspur-street, London. The Royal Mail steamer City of Brussels, Com mander Kennedy (the last new vessel belonging to the Inman Line of Steamers), arrived in the Mersey on Mon day afternoon, making one of the most rapid voyages across the Atlantic. Allowing for difference of time and detention, the run of the City ofßrussels has only occupied a little over 8 days 14 hours. A New York journal objects to the Associated Press system of sending by Cable the opinions of the above newspapers, the Standard, the Telegraph, and the rest of them, to America. A greater farce could scarcely be ima gined, and can only be justified by going back to the days when America had little press, and not much more opinion of her own. What the Times thinks is the reverse of what the Standard thinks, and if there could be another reverse, that is what the Pall Nall would think. So they neuti aliso each other, and if one opinion be sent it de ceives New York, and if the three opinions be sent, New York is—as you were. But who are these profound think ers, and what is the use of sending their thoughts at all ? Aro a man's thoughts any better for being printed in Prize iug-house-square ? or in the Lane from which our jvunty "yellow-faced" contemporary emerges? or in that poverty-strie en stuccoed erection at the corner of Shoo lane, whence the Standard issues ? It must tickle the writers to think that their profound wisdom finds such a messenger, and that from one end of a continent to another their utterances are borne on the wings of electricity. When any subject connected with England, and deeply in teresting to the Union, is in discussion, such opinions might be telegraphed, to be taken at what they are woi tb, and as indicating in some degree public opinion. But surely it is too much of a good thing that the views of writers in tnese papers on every-day topics and on foreign affairs should be transmitted by Cable. they cannot expect to conquer them. Sympathy and encouragement could scarcely be more totally uncalled for. Mr. Gladstone no more believes himself unequal to dealing with the Irish Land Bill than he thought himself unequal to dealing with the Irish Church Bill. If he must be supposed to be serious in saying that he is now afraid, he must also be supposed to be serious in saying that he gains strength to go on in his Irish policy from dining with a Lord Mayor of opposite politics to his own. A man so easily Encouraged may be safely trusted not to rest long dismayed. Public speaking must not be tortured into meaning in this way. These kind of rhetorical common places are meant to carry hearers or readers along with, them, but not to make anyone wiser or to acquaint the world with the secrets of Government. So, too, the Irish Land question is just where it was, neither less difficult nor more difficult to dispose of. If Mr. Gladstone ' wants encouragement, he may get it from a much more apposite, source than that of a Guildhall dinner, by reading such letters as that in which a well known Irish nobleman has just declared that he is ready to submit to any sacrifice in order to establish happy relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland. What he said of the evil effects of the acts of lawlessness daily committed in Ireland is perfectly , true, and they certainly serve to disenchant all who think that legislative changes will make the English Government' immediately and permanently popular in Ireland.. But ' neither the. Cabinet nor the Liberal party seriously propose to themselves popularity in Ireland as an abn. Tt; do what is just and practicable in very difficult circumstances is all their endeavour; and they may hope to attain this in some measure whether the Fenians shoot 'each other, and leave off consuming tobacco or not, and whether Mr. Gladstone is inspired by the whim of the moment to speak at a City dinner, in an exuberant or a desponding strain. The Spectator declares that Mr. Ayrton is a man of very considerable ability, who fully deserved the trial which he has received and is receiving in the Ministry, but the more we see of him as a Minister, the less, hitherto, we are dis posed to predict for him a career at all commensurate with the sharpness of his political criticism. The truth is, that he puts forth a great repellent force and no attractive force whatever. Like an electric eel, he temporarily disables antagonists by the shock and jar of the influence which he radiates. But he has no following, and probably never will have. He dwells on none of the political ideas and none of the political impressions by which men are bound together and animated in a common cause. He seems to emulate the reputation of a kind of political Serjeant Snubbin. On a very memorable occasion he snubbed the Queen; he has fre quently snubbed the House of Lords ; and his habitual practice is to snub the House of Commons. It is evidently a treat to him to snub new members, even if they be on his own side—as a new member who took his seat a year or two ago on a question affecting the houses of the poor can testify. He is never reluctant to snub old members, as some of the members for Finsbury and the City can testify; and in his address at the Tower Hamlets on Monday he took occasion to snub, with great appearance of zeal and reality, the newspaper press of this country, the late Ministry, apparently even the present Ministry, and, with most pertinacity and (we must add) must jus tice c,f all, an important section of his own constituency. Mr. Ayrton says that the duty of tho First Commissioner of Public Works is not to be a great adept in the arts of public building and ornamentation, but to employ those who are. And pray how is he to judge between thebetter and the worse of these, if he knows of no criterion by which to judge between the better and the worse? He says, again, that his duty is to see that the people get " full value for their money," and how is he to know that, if he is no judge at all of the comparative merits of the diffe rent ways in which a given sum of money can be spent so as to produce a maximum of artistic effect ? But it is impossible to ignore Mr. Ayrton's pleasure in adverse remark. It is his weakness to prefer, for its own sake, adverse to favourable criticism. It is his still greater weakness to prefer, for its own sake, what we may call political remark, to the exposition of political principle. He has never yet made a speech in Parliament, as far as we remember, on the essential principle of a great political question. He has never yet shown that his interest in principles is even as deep as his interest in technical details. Even when addressing his constituents on the hustings, it is the same. He passes over his substantive creed with a mere credo, and devotes all his energy to the little excresences of erroneous interpretation. He not only " believes in the contrary," but the contrary in which' he believes is often a petty and insignificant contrary, which is hardly worth the trouble of exposition. His' political mind wants sap, and, like many minds which want sap, it is apt to be gritty, and resemble strongly political sand-paper. With a great deal of respect for Mr. Ayrton's diligence and force in mastering so large a mass of detail against which the nature of common politicians is apt to revolt, we hardy expect great things of any sort from him, because be is always shewing himself both too carping for influence over men, and too minute and circumstantial for a grasp of principle or a manifesto of faith. The Jolts Bull considers that the positive condem nation of six members of the Exeter Chapter, and the negative opposition of four is, under all the circumstances, a fact of no small significance. For the strength of the opposition is far wider than is apparent to those who form their opinion by the gossip of clubs or drawing-rooms, or from the opinions of the daily press. Some have refrained from opposing Dr. Temple for selfish and personal reasons ; others—a far more numerous body, of whom Archdeacons Downall and Phillpotts are surely types—from fearing that they should be putting a, nail into the coffin of the Establishment; while many ; have held aloof from a desire to bring about that very result. Add to these the large class always disposed to let things take their chance, and those who felt that as no immediate practical result could ensue opposition was aseless, and the result is not so dispiriting as at first sight appears. Of this we feel convinced, that the future results of what many consider an abortive opposition will be very important. _ _ The Economist says that the extraordinary Supplement on Indian finance, of which we before noticed the tele graphic summary, and which has now arrived itself, shews at once that the two evils which ten years ago Mr. Wilson went out to cure still exist much as ever if not quite as bad as ever. These two evils were the uncertainty of the accounts, and the deficit. We could not then depend on Indian figures, and it was thought unendurable that we could not depend. Yet now after ten years we cannot, depend on them much, if at all, better. The' whole of this " Penitential Supplement" is to say that the last Budget was all wrong, and that the Government are very sorry it was all wrong. The estimate is made up of about ten months reality and about two months conjecture, and is always put forward as if it was likely to be right, whereas it almost always turns out to be completely wrong. An Indian Budget'is a conjecture founded on a conjecture. Instead of being vexed when it is wrong, we should be surprised when it, is right. All this may seem obvious, so easy to see that it not worth while to insist on it. But it is not easy to get it altered. Since 1861 it has been annually pointed out in the Economist, till we have become tired of pointing it out' The Indian deficit is uncovered too. Ten years ago Mr. Wilson found that in thirty-three years out of forty-six there had been a deficit in India, and only in thirteen years a surplus. Only in two years since the commence ment of the budget system .in 1860 has there been more than " a nominal surplus of income over expenditure." The old and chronic deficit of India still remains to be .ured. There is another point. Who is now responsible for the Indian Exchequer? Sir R. Temple had not we believe et e I arrived in Calcutta when this Gazette was issued from Simla. Who is in his absence the Finance Minister? There ought to be some responsible officer always charged with Indian finance. Sir R. Temple may have been, we think he was, in error in coming home during his first year as Finance Minister. But even though he was away and not responsible, some one on the spot ought to be responsible. We ought to know who this is. We ought not to be left with a vague reference to the responsibility of Lord Mayo. No doubt the Governor-General in India is responsible for all that Government does, but the liability is too vague to be useful: those who are in theory answerable for all are in practice answerable for nothing, and we want a Minister or a deputy-I\linister responsible both in fact and name, for the finance of India and for all statements with respect to it. A story of Sainte-Bouro appears in the Lyon: journal, the Decentralisation. lie was dining in company with the Pero Lacordaire, and the conversation turning on religion, Sainte-Bouve said :—" I don't understand your revelation, and I make a point of believing nothing I do not fully understand." "Pardon me, sir, said Lacordaire, " you do not understand why fire hardens eggs and melts butter, but I perceive that you believe in omelettes !y Sainte•Beuve treated the Pere Lacordaire with the greatest deference ever after, and always spoke of him with the Utmost revect.
