The latest dates by mail still left Mr. Low at Washington. It is said he will be instructed to carry out a liberal policy, and be allowed a wide discretion in details.

The Trafalgar, screw line-of-battle ship, Captain Barnard, lately doing duty as coastguard ship at Ratlnnullen, Lough Swilly, was paid out of com mission on Saturday at Portsmouth, and will be re fitted and recommissioned as a sea-going cadet training ship. A few weeks:since the twin screw gunboat Bit tern, 662 tons, 160 horse power, was launched at Pembroke Dock. She now lies in the east camber of the yard fitting out for sea, and it is expected that her machinery will be completed by the end of the month, when she will make her trial trip. A large quantity of Aberdare steam coal con tinues to be received at Pembroke Dock for the use of the navy, and it is rumoured that early next year the Channel fleet will again be sent to Mil ford to coal. This is the result of the trial made a short time since, when the vessels of the fleet were coaled at Milford with the most satisfactory results, both as to the price of the fuel and the quality of the coal supplied. Sergeant Grimes, late of the Royal Artillery band at head quarters, Woolwich, 1011 was tried by court-martial, of which Major Wyatt, C. 8., w as President, in the early part of last month, on charges of lending money at high rates of interest to men and boys under his control on security of their engagement money, pay, &c., and was sen tenced to be reduced to the ranks and sent to his duty as a gunner, has had his case referred, by order of the Field-Marshal Commanding - in . Chief, to the J u dge-Advocate-General, who has investigated it and given it as his opinion that the cony ietion was illegal, in consequence of which instructions were received at Woolwich on Saturday last stating that, by command of the Duke of Cambridge, Ser geant Grimes was to be reinstated in his regi ment, and to have his stripes restored to him. Sergeant Grimes left Woolwich for Portsmouth as a gunner on the 13th instant, and embarked at that port for India, to which place he volunteered on the return of the Court-martial being pro mulgated. On Saturday Brevet-Major O'Donoghue, Ensign May, two sergeants, and 117 rank and file, left the camp at Colchester for London en route for Ports mouth, where they will embark on board the Cro codile troopship for conveyance to India.

Tho 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 Firo 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.

The total expenditure on capital ac count to the 30th June amounted to £18,144,173, including £44,593 during the past half year. Mr. Child, an auditor of the company, who made a spe cial journey to Canada to investigate the accounts, states in his report that he had satisfied himself that the system pursued throughout the entire esta blishment in Canada was such as to insure an am ple check, and that all revenue was duly accounted for; and the receipts, although largely in excess of the corresponding period of last year, would have been very much greater had the com pany been possessed of more rolling stock, without materially enhancing the working expenses. Dur ing the half-year he had duly verified the charges against revenue ; and with regard to the supply of stores, it was perfectly clear to him that the prac tice had been to accept the lowest tender that bore within itself the assurance of satisfactory execution. With regard to the rates charged. be states that they were undoubtedly low, and that the Cana dians got their traffic carried at lower rates than most other communities. The local rates were somewhat better in winter, owing to the ab sence of competition by water. As regarded the through traffic, it appeared to be a necessity for the company to cultivate it, the Grand Trunk being the longest route, in many instances, between the West and the Atlantic, its executive had little option left but to follow the lend of the great American lines. He concluded by stating that frcin the way in which Mr. Morlaud conducted his audit in Canada he was convinced that so long as Mr. Morland's servic_•s could be retained there would be no necessity for any other inv,stigation iu Canada. lie regarded the check of one auditor in Canada in conjunction with the auditor in London as supplying all that could be desired. ,
