As the time approaches for the election of a Lord Mayor for the City cf London for the year ensuing., the Livery, with whom the choice in the first in stance rests, are moved to action in the matter by two opposing parties within their own body. Mr. Alderman Dakin, who stood next in rotation for election, having been reluctantly obliged from ill health to forego the honour for a year, an unex pected state of things has arisen. Next to him in point of seniority is Mr. Alderman Besley, who has publicly intimated his willingness to assume the office in the event of the choice of the Livery and of the Court of Aldermen falling upon him, as he has a reasonable hope, founded upon almost in variable precedent, it will do. But a requisition is now in course of signature, and is already numerously and influentially signed by members of the Livery, inviting the present Lord Mayor to allow himself to be put in nomination for election a second time to the °file,: of Chief Magistrate. The requisitionists in that document refer to the impor tant services rendered by his lordship as chairman of the Committee of Liverymen for the last 13 years, and believingjthat in the next session of Parliament several questions materially affecting the interests, privileges, and liberties of the citizens will be mooted with a view to legislation, they earnestly solicit him to permit himself to be brought forward again, having the greatest confidence in his lord ship's discretion and judgment from the manner in which he hag discharged the peculiar and onerous duties of the present mayoralty. Up to yesterday the requisition had received the signatures of about 1,200 of the Liverymen, there having been more than 100 fresh adhesions to it daily during.the last few days. It is hardly necessary to say that the Lord Mayor himself has taken no part whatever in the movement with which his name is being identi- BER 3, 1869. PHICIC.:.. ....... 4a. STAMPED " sd.

This, tlie most perfected system of plinless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in Et unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied—and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed.

It is, on the contrary, a purely spontaneous one, originating with some of the more conspicuous members of the Livery, and the time has not arrived for presenting the requisition. The choice of the Livery, as is well known, is confined to the Alder manic body in the Corporation, and is invariably exercised by the constituency at large convened for the express purpose in the Guildhall. The custom is for them to nominate two Aldermen for election to the office, and for the Court of Aldermen, in the exercise of an ancient right, to choose from tho two so nominated the Lord Mayor for the en suing year. Ordinarily, the usage is for the Livery to nominate the two seniors of the Aldermen who STRINGER, PEMBBROKE, and Co., Agents, 8, Austinfriars, London, E.O. LONDON.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this have not passed the chair, but there have been ex ceptions to that rule, though few. Again, it has occasionally happened, as in times of great politi cal excitement, to elect the same Lord Mayor two years running, when he has been a man of mark and has strongly espoused the popular cause for the time being, as in the case of Sir M. Wood, the father of the present Lord ChaneAlor. The late Sir John Key was also twice elected to the office. At o her timer—but these have been ex ceedingly rare—an expectant Lord Mayor, on pub lic or personal grounds, or both, has been put aside or passed over, and the retiring Chief Magistrate hAs been elected to fill the office a second time.

The assured will thus always have the option of retain• log 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 sot 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 ono 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 plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual 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. called to serve the office a second year in succes- slim.

The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietors differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particulars from that laid before them in 1868. The income of the year, it will be seen, amounts to 6540,499 185.., and the total charge to £445,077 10s. 9d. The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, t aised that item to .£1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi dently recommended as a simple but certain Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice tailed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'

Dakin, apparently alarmed at the bare possibility of such a departure, have held a meeting on the subject within the last few days, and uttered a strong pro test against it in anticipation. The meeting NS as pre sided over by Mr. De Jersey, a leading and influ ential member of the Corporation, and a series of ABOLITION OF THE DUTY ON FIRE INSURANCES. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire 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 unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also ho unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. ILIHE Directors of the ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY, in anticipation of the above, bog to intimate that on all new I , sureness now effected there will only be payable (provisionally) the proportion of Duty for the time between the dato of the Order and Midsummer Day next.

The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previo us occas i on, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and tho fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management. aro greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be reearded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. Dn.

Last evening the inquiry concerning the death of Thomas Ilenry Edmund Showell, accountant, of Basinghall-street, who met his death on the Metropolitan Railway, returning from the great boat race, was resumed before Dr. Diplick, at the Station Hotel, Latimer-road. The issue raised on behalf of the young man was that he was very short-sighted and suffered very much from the heat, and that consequently when the train was delayed at Latimer-road, he got out on to the parapet, thinking it was the platform, and so met his death. The evidence was very con- flictiDg. James Smith deposed that he was in the same carriage with deceased. When the train stopped at Latimer-road, and after five or ten minutes delay, people began to speculate as to the cause. His attention was drawn to the deceased by hearing him offer to toss anybody for a bottle of cham pagne. The deceased then opened the carriage door and went out, notwithstanding the dissuasions of several gentlemen. lie afterwards heard be had fallen over. Sarah Miller was in the next carriage, and saw deceased get into the train at Shepherd's-bush. She was looking out at the window when the train was delayed at Latimer-road, and saw the deceased get out of the carriage and step on to the parapet. lle did not stand on the wall but fell over immediately. From his manner of walking at Shepherd's-bush she judged he had been drinking. Arthur Palmer was also a passenger in the same compartment. his impression was that the deceased got out slowly, that he put his hands upon the wall in order to jump up, and that in doing so he fell over. It was pitch dark, and the light of the car riage shone on the wall, so that no one could know what was on the other side. John Knight saw the deceased led to the train by a porter at Shephherd's-bulb, and also saw him get out of the carriage. He should certainly think he was not sober. Henry T. Staples, M.R.C.S., deposed to seeing deceased in articulo nzortis, and described the state in which he found him. He did not perceive the slightest smell of liquor, but he should not like to say deceased was perfectly sober. Mr. Chas. Chapman, surveyor, was called to show that the parapet was only an inch and a half higher than the platform, and that it was easy to step out of the train on tc it. The father of the deceased stated that his son's conduct had always been that of a gentleman, and that he was of temperate habits. The Coroner having summed up, The jury consulted for 10 minutes, when they returned the following verdict : " We are of opinion that deceased came by his death accidentally, and, while we do not consider the company to blame in this matter, as deceaNd had taken a ticket to King's-cross, we deem it advisable that all parapets should be protected so as to prevent the recurrenco of a similar accident."
