The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the,last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances tut £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

The annual report of the proceedings of this important association during the year 1863 has been issued. Unfor tunately, the council have to regret that in the year there is an excess of expenditure over income Of £1,972 Gs. ld., the total income from all sources having been £20,364 16s. 9d., and the total expenditure £22,337 2s. 10d. The total expenditure is slightly in excess of 1867, but the receipts show a decrease of £3,873, owing, no doubt, to the unusual attractions that were in the former year, when the Sultan and tha Belgians drew thousands of visitors to the camp. The number of members at present is 3,022. It seems that there were but 1,830 competitors in the first stage of the Queen's this year, whereas in 1867 there were 2,104, but this is partly compensated by an increase of 120 entries for the St. George's Challenge Vase. Taking into account all the entries for prizes restricted to volunteers, we find that there was a decrease of 314, the numbers being, in 1867, 5,755; and last year 5,441. The total entries of all kinds were 93,411, as against 92,531 of the previous year. In conclusion, the council state that next year they expect to restore the balance between outlay and income. At the same time they urge all those who are interested in the welfare of the Associa tion to endeavour to increase its number. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY HONOURS. - - ~-- The Cambridge University List of Honours for 1869 has been published. The senior wrang l er i s Mr. XtIMA Ed ward Hartog. He is a native of London, and the son of Alphonse Hartog, Esq. He received his education at University College, London, and subsequently at the Uni versity of London ; while at University College he highly distinguished himself in classics, mathematics, natural philosophy, and modern languages. He gained the Jews' Commemoration Scholarship, two scholarships in mathe matics and natural philosophy, Latin exhibition, and prize for French and German. At the first 8.A., examination he was first in the first class for proficiency in Latin, French, and German. In 1864 he was a candidate for the second B.A. examination, and also for the degree of Bachelor of Science. At that examina tion he was placed alone in the first class for mathematics and natural philosophy, and alone in the first class for classics. For his classical attainments ho was rewarded with a University Scholarship of £5O per annum, tenable for three years ; a scholarship of the same valise, and tenable for the same length of time, being awarded to him for mathematics and natural philosophy. lie has also gained prizes in other branches. Mr. Hartog is a member of the Jewish persuasion, and consequently has conscientious scruples about being admitted to his B.A. degree in the usual form. Some exceptions will be made in his case. Mr. Hartog will be 2.l years of age an the 20th of May. Fur the second place three wran ! ;lcrs are bracketed. These are Mr. John Elliot, son of P. Elliot, Esq., of \Villington, Durham, '.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A FRENCH MALL STEAMER. - -0- - The Transatlantic mail steamer Pereire has just had $ very narrow escape, and had it not been for the coolness and intrepidity of her captain, she would have shared the fate of the London. She left Havre on the 15th for New York with 83 passengers, mails, and 500 tons of men. chandise. The announcement of her arrival was looked for as she is one of the fastest boats in the service, and great was the alarm and anxiety created by the news that she was putting back to Havre. When she was near the banks 1 Newfoundland she encountered a terrific gale, and on he 20th an immense wave fell like an avalanche on the deck, carrying away the fore-cabin on deck, sweeping off the bulwarks and the two boats, and breaking down the bridge. The mass of water then rushed down the engine-room, putting out twenty-four of the thirty-six furnaces, and thus paralysing three out of the four boilers. As might be supposed, some lives were lost and many persons severely injured. One young lady who was sitting reading in the cabin was killed instantly by the weight of falling water, two other passengers died from the injuries received, and two of the ship's company were washed overboard. Twenty-one others were much hurt. The captain at once ordered the vessel to lay to, and kept the engines going with one boiler. He organised `.he passengers and crew into gangs for pumping out the water, and, scudding before the wind, brought his dilapidated vessel safely back to Havre, as the voyage could not be safely continued with the foredeck open. The uninjured passengers, mails, and cargo were transferred to the St. Laurent, and the panels. gers before quitting the Pereire signed a testimonial to Captain Duchesne. • In consequence of the Privy Council, which was to have been recently held by her 31rijcsty at Osborne, being indefinitely postponed, Lord Justice Giffard will not be sworn in as a Privy Councillor in time to take his scat at the forthcoming sitting of the JudcialComtni t t . tee of the Privy Council, which commence on T uesday next.

We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 20th :—" Rome, J uly 21,1866. The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arahica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
