REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before then, in 1868. rho income of the year, it will le seen, amounts t £540,499 18s., and the total charger £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, wised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

Id., of which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected in the year. 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 th• 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 of a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management. are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last ear. 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 regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET. JUNE 30, 1869. DR.

Resolved unanimously— That this Common Hall have the highest satisfaction in recording their sense of obligation to the Right Honour able James Clarke Lawrence, M.P., Lord Mayor. During his year of office the varied and important ditties which have devolved upon him have been discharged in a man ner alike honourable to his lordship and in keeping with the character of the City of Loudon. In his hands justice has been ably and conscientiously administered, the cause of charity has had a warm and liberal friend, and the hospitalities of the Mansion House have been widely and gracefully dispensed. To whatever point of duty reference may be made this Common Hall feel that his lordship's conduct has been worthy of his high office, and has commended itself to the best judgment of his fellow-citizens. With decision of character he has blended a conciliatory disposition and a readiness at all times to further the true interests of the community. This Common Hall cannot but rem , mber also the deep personal interest which his lordship has for many years taken in preserving the rights of the Livery. Under all circumstances, therefore, this Common Hall feel that his lordship has won the grateful thanks of the Livery of London, which are hereby tendered with the sincerest wishes that he may long be spared to continue his valuable services, not only in this City but in the Com mons House of Parliament.

STONE'S credit that he has had the courage to bestow this valuable piece of patronage in the proper quarter, and the good taste, somewhat rare nowadays in eminent public men, to acknowledge the debt of gratitude due by party leaders to services honourably and independently rendered by the press. Without ascribing to Mr. WALKER a monopoly of every editorial virtue, so far as the side of Liberalism is concerned, we are glad to add our tribute of respect to his conduct of the journal with which ho has been so long and honourably connected." Already in a kindred spirit the Spectator of Saturday had remarked— "We observe with sincere pleasure that Mr. THOMAS WALKER, till now the editor of the Daily New 3, has been appointed, by the Government, to the Editorship of the London Gazette. There are few Liberal politicians to which the public are more deeply indebted. Always temperate, always rigidly upright, always staunch through evil report and good report to any cause that he believed to be good, no man has done more to sustain the high political character of the English Liberal Press in times when it was very difficult to do so, and to give to the paper which he directed a tone of complete candour and impartiality, as well as of ability sobriety, and judgment." The Pall Mall Gazette meanwhile had previously commended the selection in the no less emphatic terms subjoined : " A better appointment than that of Mr Thous WALKER to the editorship of the Gazette could not have been made. Though Mr WALKER'S name may not be familiar to the public, he is well known in hisprofession as an able and hard-working journalist. He was for many years sub-editor of the Daily News, to the chief direction of which he succeeded on the death of Mt. WEIR. In the conduct of that journal Mr. WALKER has been distinguished by a delicate sense of honour and great political candour. He has always held aloof from partizan excesses, and has shown himself at all times anxious to do justice to opponents; not common merits. Ur.

Box-office Open frown to 4. - 44 V 1 Sint LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 11, 1869. The distribution of patronage is the test of a great Minister's disintereste3ness. And, it so happens, that precisely that test has been recently applied in a very signal manner to the head of the GLADSTONE Go vernment. The Prime Minister, it should be said, at once, has not merely passed through the ordeal with honour to himself, but has won " golden opinions from all sorts of men" in the very act of vindicating his re putation for impartiality. How strikingly he has done this we shall immediately demonstrate. The particu lar office referred to, as having been recently placed at his disposal by the death of its last holder, was that rara avis, that all but last survivor of a nearly extinct species, that raven in the political aviary—a recognised sinecure. And the a ward of this sinecure by Mr. GLADSTONE has been such that it has com manded the approval alike of the friends and the foes of the First Lord of the Treasury. Allusion is here made, of course, to the Editorship of the London Gazette, a post to which Mr. THOMAS WALKER (of the Daily News) is announced in its last issue as hav ing been nominated. The fact of his nomination has been at once welcomed with unhesitating approval by his brother journalists. The unanimity of this ap proval is, at once, a tribute to Mr. WALKER him self, personally, and to the distinguished liberal and non-partisan organ with which his name is profes sionally associated. As evidences of the satisfaction with which the Premier's selection of the newly appointed Editor of the London Gazette is regarded in the world of journalism, we are tempted to make the following extracts from the opinions of our con temporaries. The Conservative Standard of this morning comments upon the appointment thus ap provingly and emphatically : "Mr. GLADsToxE has at least made ono appointment ut which no one will cavil. The selection of Mr. THOMAS WALKER, officially announced in the last Gazette, fur the editorship of that paper, is so singular an instance of the right n.an being put into the right place that we hasten to offer our congratulations alike to the Premier and to the recipient of his patronage. The appointment is the more to be commended, because the post which Mr. WALIiER fills is ono of the very few prizes left which may be said properly to belong to that class of men who take to journalism as their sole and exclusive profession, and because there must have been a host of applicants for a position which possesses the double advantage of excellent pay and toler ably easy work. The public had become somewhat accus tomed of late years to see every lucrative berth swal lowed up by the sons, or sons-in-law, or nephews of Cabinet or ex-Cabinet Ministers; and it is to Mr. GLAD- Enough, however, in illustration of an esprit de corps in every way honorable to journalism, if, while asso ciating ourselves with these unanimous and unaffected expressions of approval, we end where we commenced, namely, with a recognition of this signal instance of the Prime Minister's political disinterestedness. THERE is very little in the Wood-green murder to induce contemplation or comment. A. crime the gist of which is that a man living with a woman who was not his wife, murdered that woman and another man through suspicion of " infidelity," presents no element of instruction to recompense the painful labour of dwelling upon it. But one or two questions of fact which conflicting evidence had rendered doubtful, and one serious question of public policy, deserve notice. The early evidence scorned to establish a grave charge of apathy and cowardice against the officials and passengers at the railway station where HENSON first assailed the woman DEATH and her companion BOYD. It now transpires that his first attack upon the latter was not made until the party were several yards from the station, most of the passengers having departed. After knocking BOYD down the murderer directed his rage towards the woman. It does not appear that he used any violence, but his words and gestures were so alarming that a Mr. SAWYER was induced to follow the pair to their residence. This gentleman was accompanied by two others whom he met on the way ; but though the three might have been able to restrain HENSON from any open vio lence, they had no reason to anticipate the bloody deed which occurred, they could not claim to follow the man into his house, and, moveover, the weapon was fired and the woman killed before they could arrive on the spot. Mr. SAWYER then, single-handed, followed HENSON to BOYD'S house, and appealed to some navvies for aid. These, either indifferent or not fully recognising the gravity of the case, refused to interfere. Unwilling to assail the mur derer alone, Mr. SAWYER sought the aid of the police ; but whilst on this errand, lIENsox broke open BOYD'S door, and found him with two musicians. These " jumped over the fence," leaving the criminal alone with his second victim. Mr. SAWYER, with the police, arrived in time to secure the nmrderer, but too late to prevent either of the crimes. It appears, then, that there was no "numerous body of passengers" at the Station, to whom - IAnIA. DEATH. vainly appealed for protection. The conduct of the two musicians in running away was pusillanimous, the refusal of the navvies to aid Mr. SAWYER partook of brutal indifference ; but none of those persons were able to guess at lIENsoN's real intentions. At all events, it is incorrect to state, as a contemporary does, that the crimes were committed " within eyesight and ear-reach of a crowd of terrified bystanders." The magisterial inquiry, too, has shewn the character of the murdered woman to be of a much lower order than was at first represented. The ways of some women are inexplicable ; and it is therefore idle attempting to divine the motive which induced a respectable governess to cast in her lot with an ignorant married artisan. But it seems that there was a lower depth which she had yet to reach. It is certain, despite the testimony to her good behaviour, that she was carrying on an intrigue with the man BOYD. They had been to London together on the day of the murder, and there spent the day at divers public-houses. When they returned an invitation was given to the two musicians who so gallantly jumped over the fence, to pay a visit to BOYD'S house, and there, it is to be presumed, the four intended to spend an agreeable evening. The suspicions which BENSON entertained, and which in duced him to lay the trap for the lawless pair, were amply justified. And undoubtedly it must be ad mitted that he committed his double crime under the influence of much provocation. But it is impos sible to allow that this provocation amounts to an excuse. The Times has suggested a doubt whether " the full sentence of the law can be carried out against the prisoner, considering the very aggravated nature of the provocation he received." On both legal and moral grounds such a doctrine is wholly unsound and dangerous. The law as applied to these cases is simple enough. Should a husband kill the man who has injured him, the crime amounts to no more than manslaughter, provided the adulterer be surprised in fa grante delieto ; in any other case it is murder. lIENsoN was not, however, the husband of the woman DEATH, and the condition which in the case of a husband reduces murder to manslaughter was wanting in the Wood-green tragedy. To admit the provocation in mitigation of sentence would not only be a legal error; but it would —in treating HENSON with the consideration due to a husband —involve a serious moral blunder. The law which regulates marriage cannot be made to apply to such domestic arrange ments as those at Wood-green. Never was a crime more deliberately planned and cruelly executed. If such an offence be punished with a mitigated sentence, the plea of " extenuating circumstances " will be taking the same position here which it holds in France—that of a regular legal fiction for setting aside capital punishment. NEW VOLUME OF FUN._The ninth volume of the New, the sixteenth of the old Series of Fun has just made its appearance. Bl oom ing in magenta outside, and inside as merry as a g r ig (whatever a grig may be though we can't in the least conjecture), Tom Hood's penny comic always reminds us in a Byronic sense of a mourning coach—on its way back from the cemetery— according to the nobl3 poet's dictum ... full of fun Like mourning coaches when the funeral's done. Whenever the new half-yearly volume of the penny comic comes in, tha cuts and the letter-press, although already familar t, us, are moldy worth glancing throu.4lt again, and are often provocative of more than merely the echo of some well-remembered but st of laughter. The very extensive Distillery now being erected at Belfast, with all recent improvements for the manufacture of Irish whisky, by Messrs. DUNVLLLE & Co., who have gained a world-wide celebrity for their fine old Irish whisky, is to be called " The Royal Irish Distillery." HIGH WATER. AT LONDON BRIDGE. MORNING. EVENING.

Its perusal is a consolation. It breathes forth the aroma of the Evangel, as appreciably in every word of it as 4-Kernpis masterpiece, De Imitatione. Lacordaire, the great Dominican Friar Preacher, who was one of the last glories of the Gallic Church, the worthy disciple of the greatest school of pulpit orators in the Christian world, the school of Bossuet, of Massillon, of Foneion, of Bourdaloue —Lacordaire, the some time associate of Lamen nais, the friend to the last of Charles, the Count de Montalewbert, has now for some years past disap peared from amongst us. Silenced though his voice has been by death, his soul yet speaks to us most persuasively through his superb Conferences. From among these, a selection has here been made by a grateful and venerating admirer of those noble discourses, delivered by him from the pulpit of of Notre Dame, upon the Inner Life, the Public Power, the Foundation of the Reign, the Per petuity and Progress of the Reign, the Pre-Exist ence and the reiterated conquest of Rationalism, of the Incarnate Word of God, Jesus Christ. In this age of hypercritical unbelief and of analytical infidelity, in these days when Strauss and Renan have been striving to blow down, by the warblings of flageolets—what had withstood; a century ago, the blast of trumpets sounded by the lips of Vol taire and Rousseau—the walls not of Jericho, but of the heavenly Jerusalem, it is a joy of the soul more even than of the heart and of the intellect, to listen for a while to the accents of a believing genius, like that of this " Christian Achilles," as Montalembert has before now called him, the Abb6 Henri Lacordaire. The anonymous translator, who , has done this good work for England, proffers it " to his well-beloved country, as a guide in her present religious confusion." Turning the single leaf of his Preface, we come at once to the Conferences themselves, and listen thenceforth, as it were, no longer to the Translator, but to the impassioned tones of the great Friar Preacher himself, to those lips touched with sacred fire, to the tones and the lips of Lacordaire. Accepting his sublime theme, at once, he describes our Lord as, " like Atlas, bearing heaven and earth upon his shoulders." Apostrophising Him, directly at the very outset he exclaims, "Lord Jesus, now and more directly, I come to Thyself, to those divine features which are the daily object of my contemplation ; to Thy sacred feet, which I have so often kissed; to Thy divine hands which have so often blessed me ; to Thy forehead crowned with glory and with thorns ; to that life whose sweetness I have respired from my birth, which my youth disregarded, which my manhood regained, which my riper age adores and proclaims to every creature. 0 Father I 0 Master ! 0 Friend ! 0 Jesus ! second me, now, more than ever, since, being closer to Thee, it is meet that my hearers should perceive it, and that the words which fall from my lips, should manifest the nearness of Thy adorable presence." That is the exordium of Lacordaire, who thereupon accumulates the Re deemer's explicit declarations of His Divinity, from the New Testament. " Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am ?" he asks ; and Simon Peter, answering, says, " Thou art Christ the son of the living God." Whereupon, instead of rebuking the apostle for a blasphemy, our Lord pronounces a formal benediction upon Peter for that utterance, saying, " Blessed art thou Simon Barjonah, for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but My Father who is in heaven"—adding as an especial reward for this sublime act of faith on the part of the Prince of the Apostles, "I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of bell shall not prevail against it." Again, when Philip says, " Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us" —the Redeemer answers him almost in the language of reproach. "So long have I been with you, and you have not known Me? Philip, he that seeth lle seeth the Father also." Another while, he says, " Ise that cloth not believe is already judged, be cause he believ,th not in the name of the only be gotten SAi of Go I." At another time he most positively declares--" I and the Father are one"— Ego et Pater unum sumus. Du: ing the Pa sion, when solemnly apostrophised, thus, by the High Priest, " I adjure 'lice by the living God that thou tell us if Thou be the Christ the Son of Go I—the Redeemer replies calmly, simply, emphatically, " 1 ant"—Ego sum—" I am, and you shall sec the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven." Then it is that the high priest rends his garments, ex exclaiming, " You have heard the blasphemy." Then it is that Pilate is told by the Jews, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, be cause he made himself the Son of God." During the crucifixion, the rabble, as if in final attestation of the divine claim he had advanced, and for which he died, cry aloud mockingly, " Yak . . if Thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross." When he has actually expire], and the veil of the temple is rent in twain, and the sun becomes darkened, and the graves give up their dead, the Roman Centurion, striking his breast with awful wonder, avows, " Indeed this was the Son of God." After his resurrection, when he appears among the Apostles before the hitherto incredu lous Didymus, St. Thomas, on being ad dressed, can only apostophise him, in so many words of adoration—" My Lord and My God." After his ascension, moreover, St. John, the Apostle, closes his Gospel no otherwise than with the deli berate affirmation, "These things arc written that you may believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God." Those are the among the Redeemer's own assertions of his Divinity. The attestations of his Divinity are innumerable. His whole life is its con clusive demonstration. So, for that matter, are all the words that fell from His lips —are His sublime miracles—are His divine doctrines. "Never man spake as He spake." At His touch the blind saw, the dumb spoke, the deaf heard, the lepers were cleansed. At His voice the dead rose from the grave. At His look the denying Peter was converted with a pas sion of tears. At the touch of the hem of His gar ment the bloody issue was closed. As Lacordaire remarks, He alone, among all the historical charac ters of whom the world has record, is cherished in the thoughts of men with Love and with Adoration. "Among great men, who," asks the Dominican Preacher, "is loved? Among Warriors ? Is it Alexander ? Caesar? Charlemagne? Among sages? Aristotle? or Plato ? Who is loved among great men ? Who? Name me even one !" Yet for ninteen centuries there is one being, and one only, the very thought of whom, the very name of whom, whose empty sepulchre, the very dust trod den by whose footsteps, whose remembered suffer ings, the symbol of whose ignominous death, each and all are suffused with an ineffable tenderness. "There is one whose love is founded upon earth, and that one," exclaims Lacordaire, with an exqui site and consummate rhetorical force, suddenly turning his indirect allusion into a direct apostrophe, "is Thyself, 0 Jesus, who has deigned to baptize me, to anoint me, to consecrate me in thy love, and whose name alone now opens my very heart and draws from me these accents which overpower me and raise me above myself." Another attribute in which the Redeemer of the world stands utterly alone in the annals of the human race, is that of His all.embracing tenderness and, at the same time, of his ineffable and unsullied purity. " 11'hatsoev‘2r you shall do to the least of these, you will have done it unto me." Coming not to those who are in health, but to those who are sick ! Calling to Zaccheus the Publican ! S tying of Magdalen at llis feet, that her sins though many are forgiven, because of her loving repentance ! Bidding the ac cuser; of the woman taken in adultery to cast the first s' one who themselves were scathless ! Yearning over Jerusalem as the hen gathering her chickens under her wings ! Pleading for His executioners in the midst of the agonies of his crucifixion- 44 Father, , forgive them, for they know not what they do: Jesus Cl.ri.t all the while, as Lacordaire exclaims in holy awe,—" bearing his love in a vase so pure that the shadow even of doubt does not approach his heart, posterity which for eighteen centuries, has sought foe his faults, having never dared to utter a word against his virtue"—" the character of his tenderness being that of an ineffable chastity.' . No marvel is it, remembering all this, that, in the midst of the unbelieving eighteenth century, even Rousseau himself, the greatest but one of the hitch lec'sual giants in that age of infidelity, should coun terpoise the unutterable blasphemy of Voltaire— &sasses l' Infante !—by that cry from his " Emile" which Lacordaire grandly predicts will resound throughout Christendom until the second coming of Christ—" If the life and death of Socrates be those of a sage, the life and death of Jesus Christ are those of a God." No wonder, again, that a far mightier genius than either of those two sterile Champions of Unbelief—himself, as he has been called, the Child of Infidelity and the Revolution— Conqueror, Soldier, Lawgiver, founder of a dynasty, should, towards the close of his long cap tivity, after descanting one day upon the character istics which distinguished Jesus Christ from all mankind, " after uttering a torrent of eloquence," says Lacordaire, " which no Father of the Church would have disclaimed," ended his estimate of the Redeemer with these words—" In flue, I know men, and I say that Jesus Christ was not a man." Referring to that memorable dictum, the eminent Dominican, speaking from his rostrum in the pulpit of Notre Dame, could not help exclaiming, in his turn, "The day will come when, upon the tomb of her Great Captain, France will grave those words, and they will shine, there, with more immortal lustre than the sun of the Pyramids and of Auster litz." Opening the map of the world, as the preacher very strikingly observes, there is a country exactly midway between the three great continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa—and there, at that fitting stand-point, it is, that the stupendous drama of the Incarnation and Redemption is accomplished. It is there, and it is then, at no mythical period of the earth's history, but in a glare of publicity—with Paganism, with Judaism, with Platonism, to attest the veracity of the Evangelical record of the coming of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of Mankind, that the Divine Redeemer makes his long-looked-for and clearly predicted appearance. Tacitus, the greatest of the Roman historians, is aptly ad duced in corroboration of the Gospel. Tacitus, as Lacordaire finely says, is " charged by God to grave in history the certificate of the birth and death of His only Son Jesus Christ !" Twenty seven years after the Crucifixion, the Emperor Nero, wantonly committing Rome to the flames, in order to shroud from discovery the origin of that detestable crime, causes to be seized, according to Tacitus, "an immense multitude of men," ingens multitude, " whom the common people called Chris tians," quos vulgus C'hristianos appellabat. Tacitus adds—" The author of this name was Christ," auctor nominis hujus Christus. But he not only says this, he observes yet further—" They derived their name and origin from Christ, who in the reign of Tiberius had suffered death by the sentence of the procurator, Pontius Pilate," auctor nonzinis hujus Christus, qui, Tiberio inzpe,ritante, per procuratorem, Pentium Pilatum supplicio affectus erat. "Is it Tacitus who speaks ?" exclaim 3 Lacordaire, " or is it the Apostle's creed ?" The Apostle's creed says : Qui passes est sub Pontio Pilate. Tacitus says : Qui per procuratorem Pentium Pilatum supplicio affectus erat. It is, indeed, Tacitus, a stranger, a pagan, a man who, in writing these things in inde structible memorials, did not even know what he said." The effect of this dispassionate testimony to the truth of the Roman historian, Tacitus, in corroboration of the chronological exactitu le and historical veracity of the gospel history of our Lord in the New Testament, is, in truth, as startling as —what Lacordaire, however, does not in the least refer to in his,Conferences— Virgil's memorable lines in the Fourth Eclogue : "Aggradere, 0, mag:tog, advarit jam tompus hoo - ires, Cara Deum sotoles, magnum Jovis incretnentum ! Aspics convsico nutantem ponders mondum, Torrasque, traetwquo maxis, ccalunlque profunduni." The whole of this mystical Pastoral in celebration of Pollio being an adaptation from one of the Sibylline propli..sies of the advent of our Saviour ! Another of those oracular utter ances of the Sibyl—one preserved and illus trated by the scholarship of Oparinus and and Bethuleius —conveys, through a wond.4lll fragment of Greek, beg - inning I3)con SE x9un , Kinocan crvecov 6r'ea-ac---au astoulding acrostic in which (as the author of Dion has beautifully ex pressed it) one may real the initial letters of that acrostic, spelling our bles.ed Lord's two nani;s " all down the lines like a golden fringe'J—lqu-ovs xpto-ros Ofov Yun, a - corlip. Alluding in no way ei.her to Virgil's Eclogue or to the Sibylline Oracles, La cordaire scarcely deigns to make one passing refe rence to Josephus, contenting himself ) for the most part, with the certainly all-sufficient testimony in corroboration of the Gospel, produced only seven and twenty years after the date of the Crucifixion, by the luminous pen of the greatest of all the pagan historians, Tacitus. Another Roman An nalist he does quote, also, it is true, meaning Pliny the Younger, who, in the year 98—that is, sixty years after the death of our Lord on Mount Cal vary—writing in his character as Pro-Consul of Bithynia, and addressing himself by letter to the Emperor Trajan, says, among other things, that "not only the cities, but the towns and villages are overrun with that contagious superstition, Christi anity." Between two and three centuries after wards, A. D. 363, Julian the Apostate, while expir ing on the battle-field in Persia, exclaimed, " Ga lilean, thou hast conquered !" And for eighteen centuries and upwards, He has been conquering ! During more than a thousand years, His kingdom, which is not of this world, has replaced the long vanished Empire of Pagan Rome. And where, asks Laccordairo, " did this kingdom of souls set up its capital? in Rome. The seat of virtue, in the seat of power. The seat of liberty, in the seat of bondage. In the seat of shameful idols, the seat of the Cross of Jesus Christ." Lacordaire ex claiming afterwards, in earnest exultation, " Chris tus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat !" . . . As a supplementary chapter to this noble volume, we have here presented to 113 also Lac3rdaire's me morable Panegyric on Daniel O'Connell, delivered like the Conferences themselves 3 in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, shortly after the death, in 1847, of the Liberator. Remembering the nature—and the very title, for that matter—of the volume to which this funeral oration is thus appended, the publica tion, in this way, of any man's eulogium almost partakes of the character of an apotheosis. Messrs. Berger Spence and Co., in their Weekly Chemical, Mineral, and Metal Report, say :—With the commencement of the new quarter a satisfac tory business has been done in this market in che micals generally, and, excepting one or two spe cialties of the trade, manufacturers have no reason to complain. The alkali trade dons not yet show any signs of increased vitality, and unless some extraordinary demand for shipment should spring up, or the present over production is further re duced, producers must still submit to present un remunerative prices.
