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.

The opening address was delivered by Lord Henry LErfleox. His lordship, when commencing, noticed in terms of regret the loss the society had sustained by the deaths of three of its most distinguished mem bers—Dr Roget, Professor Graham, and Sir Wentworth Dilke. The labours of the Food Committee were next noticed. The committee had come to the conclusion that the only efficient mode of preserving meat for exportation was by means of ice. Live cattle had, it was true, been brought from Rio Janeiro, but the dread of introducing new cattle plagues deterred the committee from encour aging live importation from South America. India, its trade fabrics and productions, were dealt with at con siderable length, and great expectations were held out as to the extent to which the growth of tea, cotton, and silk might be extended by judicious encouragement. The chairman next proceeded to sketch out the future programme of the society. A mechanical committee Was being appointed, in - which mechanical inventions of secondary importance would be examined and discussed. The patent laws would undergo a searching investigation, and in the course of the session a paper on the subject would be read by Sir Joseph Whitworth. Prizes weuld be offered for specimens of art-workmanship, and examinations would be held in various branches of practical knowledge and . industry. The great subject of national education would be warmly taken up by the society, whilst at the same time a position of perfect impartiality would be maintained. In the matter of technical education a great deal might, he thought, be done without interfering with prejudice or opinion. Turning to the outcry which had been raised against the French treaty, he asked those manufacturers who cow.- plaincd most of French competition whether they had done their utmost to emulate French taste and excel lence of workmanship. Teclitical education would effect much improvement in that direction. The next portion of the address was devoted to a eulogistic descrip tion of the Jewish free school in Bell-lane, of which an especial feature was the immense amount of teaching power employed. The remaining topics of importance, treated were cheap postage, respecting which and its working in all foreign countries where it existed the society would collect all possible information ; and the Channel passage. The Chairman congratulated his hearers on the prevalent wish to facilitate intercourse between England and France, and pointed out that a sea service of powerful vessels like those plying between Kingstown and Holyhead, offered the most feasible solution of the problem of quick and easy transit. The hope of the society was that piers sufficient to accommodate large steamers would be thrown out on both sides of the Channel. In conclusion, he had only to state that the society pro posed to offer premiums to stimulate improvement in the construction of cabs, and to prepare a new catalogue and other improved arrangements for the library. At the conclusion of the chairman's address the Prince Consort's prize was delivered to William John Wilson, for having for three successive years obtained the certificates of the society. THE SUEZ CANAL. The correspondent at Suez of the Daily News sends home an account of the stir made by the forced postpone-. ment of the inspection of the Suez Canal. M. de Lesseps had invited many guests to meet him at Ismailia, and to go over the canal. The proceedings were to have corn- , menced, and did commence—with a dinner. "At M. de Lesseps' dinner that evening," says the Daily News corres pondent, " are Prussian naval officers in uniform, English military and scientific men, and engineers and others connected with the Canal, a majority of the strangers having come hither with the view of passing over the Suez section next day; and appointments are made for the early morning, and the size and capabilities of the steamer in which the trip is to be made are chatted over freely. It is not until late in the evening, and half an hour before the party separates for the night, that word goes round that no boats can go to Suez on the morrow.! We cannot believe it. We have had M. de Lesseps's own assurance, and are confident there is some miitake. But, alas ! an obstruction has been discovered. A rock, hitherto overlooked, has been found, and blasting with gunpowder must bo vigorously carried on before any further traffic can be allowed. It is not to be denied that a heavy sense of disappointment fell upon the company ; and that questions which no one liked to put to our kind host were on the tip of every tongue. How is it this particular block of rock, the size of which must be considerable if it will take throe or four days to move it, has escaped notice, in spite of the constant soundings which have been taken; and what guarantee is there that similar blocks - yet undiscovered will not bring discredit on the enterprise ? It wants but ten daye to the formal opening, men whispered to each other ominously, and the preliminary inspection—the semi private, semi-public dress-rehearsal, which was to assure everybody in Egypt of the drama's success--must be put off. How about the opening day? Suppose the obstruc tion should be more formidable than they seem to think ? Such were the running comments of the uninformed. M. de Lesseps and bis staff wero buoyant as ever, and treated the matter as unimportant. Still, they were clear that it would be inexpedient to send boats down for a few days, and so plans the execution of which had brought most of us to :Ismailia had tc be given up, those who had not seen the-Canal at all going by the Egyptian mailboat to Port Said, those who had come from the latter place or visited it already, including the Prussian officers, spending the day in inspecting the curiosities of Ismailia, and going on to Suez by train in the evening. The news was soon wafted to Cairo, and Burleigh-like shakei of the head, and " I told you so," went the round of the hotels. The most dismal anticipations as to the next day were put forth boldly, and incredulity had decidedly the upper hand. Practical men, however, hold to the opinion I have ex pressed in preceding letters, namely that the problem is solved, and the Canal a success." A man named Cotter has been arrested in Cork, on suspicion of being concerned in the late murder. A private inquiry was held on Wednesday, and he was re manded. The authorities are in communication with London, and more arrests are expected. AN INTERESTING FACT.—Our lady readers will feel an interest in learning a fact which the daily papers have emitted in recording the marriages of the daughters of the Duke of Abercorn in Westminster Abbey—namely, that the beautiful lace which was so profusely spread over the dress of the Duchess of Marlborough was the very same hce which formed part of the spoil taken by John, the --reat Duke of Marlborough, in his wars in Flanders, a cen tury and a half ago. The Blenheim lace, as it is called, is said to be simply priceless. The Duchess of Abercorn has ...even daughters in all; six of these are married, and not one below the rank of a Countess, while one is already a Marchioness, and the other two are Duchesses in prospect, being married to the heirs of the houses of Marlborough and Buccleuch. SIMULTANEOUS OUGAN-PLAYING.--We learn from the Athenantm that something rather awkward for organists is in agitation. They have of late increased in numbers with the greater demand for church music, but there is now danger of their being suppressed by machi nery, and their organs being played without their presence or assistance. In consequence of the progress of the electrical system, it is suggested that, with one key board and one organist in St. Paul's, wires laid on to the church organs of London would suffice for their performance. This appears to be the most decided step yet takon towards that centralization which is the dread of vestrymen and guardians. But it is obvious that we cannot have simultaneous church music without simul taneous church services. Supposing a church or chapel is afflicted with a slow reader, the organ at St. Paul's might strike up an anthem in the middle of the first lesson. If we are to adopt the new plan, let it be complete in all its arrangements, and we must confess that it might be extended with advantage. Instead of incurring - considerable expense by educating our daughters in music, why not let one daughter receive a thorough musical education, and play on a pianoforte in some central position connected by electric wires with all other pianofortes in and around the metropolis? This would at once release several women from an occupation in which few of them excel, and enable them to devote their atten tion to public affairs, in which they are so anxious to take a part. RUSSTANIZATION.—The building formerly known as the High School at - Warsaw was converted into a a few weeks ago, and it has now been c ß a u r s e s f i v a l n ly u s li tr i i v p e p rty stripped of all the characteristics of a Polish institution. Over the gateway a gigantic Russian eag le has been erected with the words " Imperial University " inscribed in Russian characters on each side of it. In the interior of the building all the Polish inscriptions have been obliterated and replaced by Russian ones. In the great hall opposite the entrance is a portrait, in life-size, of the Emperor Alexander 11., the founder of the university. All the announcements on the notice-board are also in the Russian language, and the beadles and other servants have received strict instruc tions not to answer anyone who addresses them in Polish. The chair of Polish language and literature has been abolished, and that of canon law has been replaced by one 1 of Byzantine law. Finally, as U to imitate the appearance of a Russian university in its smallest details, a regulation has just been published by the inspector forbidding the students, under severe penalties to jaKkitilei_2l.9ll3- S 0
