"Candidatesmust be not less than 18 years of age, and roust have served at least two years in private shipbuild ing_ or engineering establishments, or must give satisfac "7 proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering operations as to become well grounded in the elementary principles and practice thereof. The Pupils will be selected by Competitive Examina „ "en, the subjects for which, and number of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus . 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ... 1,000 P ractical Shipbuilding, including laying off (for shipwright's candidates only) ~. 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) . 2,500 500 Elements of Phy . s . ics Chymistry... ••• 75° English G rammar and Composition 750 Geography and History ••• ••• ••• ••• 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first -named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the corn- Petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils ; they will receive wages the same as dockyard a pprentices, commencing at 18.6 d. per day for six days per Week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day, and in addition a subsistence allowance of 38 - per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the School or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the school, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the Dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en- P a gement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own w orth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ laent in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forwat d their names, with a c er tifi ca t e o f bi r th , an d o f th e groun d s on w hi c h t hey consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Ad luiralty, not later than the Ist September. The Candiaes should also state whether they wish to be examined d as t Engineers or Shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 25th September, and three following days. _ _ _ By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX.

It was suggested that the veal that was given to the deceased contained irritant poison, and that the poison was probably copper. It was also suggested that the poison was intentionally pat into the veal by Martha Tully, the cook. It was appa rent from the evidence that Brooks and Hammond, two of the servants, ate a portion of this veal for dinner, and it might be that they ate as much or more than the deceased did, and yet they suffered no symptoms of illness after eating it. Hence the question arose, could there have been in the veal sufficient copper or other irritant poison to cause severe inflammation and extensive ulceration of the small and large intestines of the deceased. Now, it was contrary to all experience for any oue to eat food in which he or she had knowingly placed poi son, and the cook, Martha Tully, ate the veal as at her usual dinner. Tully's pretence or illness sub sequently when she knew that so many of her fel low-servants had been taken ill might admit of ex planation without rendering it necessary to sup pose that she deliberately poisoned the veal. But the amount of morbid changes in the form of ulce ration of the bowels was much greater than known to be produced by such very potent irritant poisons as arsenic, antimony, or mercury. Copper poison (according to Dr. Taylor's report) had never in large doses, as far as he knew, produced such ex tensive ulceration of the bowels as was found, and in cases where it was known to have destroyed life the stomach had never escaped its action. Nov while he (the coroner) used the theory of Dr. Tay lor, the opinion of Dr. Letheby, as offered before the police magistrates, could not be entirely ignored, " that in the vomit antimony was present." The jury, while weighing theories, must only do so in relation to the facts, and there being no direct evidence either way he (the Coroner) should ad vise a verdict which would leave further inquiry open if necessary. After some deliberation the jury through thei foreman (Mr. Thomas Earle) returned the follow. ing open verdict:—" That the deceased, Mark Sims, died from inflammation and ulceration of the bowels, but whether such inflammation and ulceration was occasioned by natural causes or otherwise, no conclusive evidence appears."

The following General Order, addressed to the army at home and abroad, has been issued from the Horse Guards by command of the Duke of Cain. bridge : " The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in concur.. rence with the Secretary of State for War, has decided that the 61 days' leave of absence granted annually to officers of all branches of the service, shall be reckoned from the Ist of April, instead of from the Ist of January in each year as heretofore, This arrangement is to take effect from the Ist of April, 1867, and 77 days' leave of absence will be allowed to reckon between the Ist of January in the present, and 31st of March in the ensuing year, in order to adjust the proportion of leave to be allowed for the intermediate period.

The B battery, 4th Brigade, Royal Field Artil- lery, numbering six officers and 150 non-commis sioned officers and men, 91 horses, six 12-pounder field Armstrongs, and six waggons, has proceeded from Chatham garrison to Sheerness, for a fort night's duty at that station. The following officers proceeded from Chatham with the detachment— viz., Capt. the Hon. It. V. Dillon, Lieut. 11. P. Georges, Lieut. B. F. Danville, Lieutenant G. H. O'Malley, Lieut. A. B. Stopford, and Assist.-Surg. A. C. Roberts. Col. 11. B. Symes, 16th Lancers, has been ordered to embark at Gravesend on board the East India. man Clara, for conveyance to Madras, to join the service companies of his regiment in that Presidency. Notwithstanding that the third dock at Chatham, in - which the double turret ship Monarch is ordered to be constructed is still unfinished, and the works at the entrance uncompleted, a number of hands are employed at the temporary workshop, alongside the dock, in fitting the keel, a considerable portion of which is finished and ready for lowering into the dock. The turrets and central battery of the Monarch will, in accordance with the designs of Mr. Reed, be protected with a thickness of 7in. of armour plating, while her free board will be very high for that description of vessel, the drawings and plans showing that she will have a height out of the water of from 12ft. to 14ft. The armoured iron frigate Bellerophon, Capt. E. Tatham, weighed her anchor at Spithead at noon yesterday, for a trial'of her speed over the measured mile in Stoke's-bay, sunk by means of temporary weights placed on her upper and main decks to her designed deep load line draught of water. The weather looked wild, with the a ind from W.S.W., but hopes were entertained that the wind would moderate sufficiently to allow the trial to come off, and the frigate was run out for some distance to the south-east of Spithead, when her course was reversed for the measured mile course in Stoke's-bay ; on reaching it, however, the wind increased to a fresh gale, and continued during the time tide was avail able for the ship's trial. Under these circumstances the frigate returned to Spithead, where she was again brought to anchor. The trial will be made to-day should the weather prove favourable. The established Admiralty rule for the trials of ships over the mea sured mile is that the wind shall not exceed a force of 4. Yesterday, during the tide-time available for the ship's trial, the wind reached a force of 7. The engines during the short time the frigate was under steam worked very satisfactorily, the revolutions at full speed being 72 and 73, and their indicated horse Dower, 6,100. In returning to Spithead from the south-east, for Stoke's-bay, the ship reversed h er course in lmin. 45sec. Sir John Pakington, attended by his private secretary, landed at Portsmouth Dockyard yester day morning and proceeded to the Admiral's office, where he held the usual levee of a First Lord on his annual visit to the outports. Sixty-seven naval officers and chaplains attended. Admirals Milne, Dacres, Seymour, Sir J. Hay, and Mr. Du Cane, accompanied by Lord H. Lennox, Secretary to the Admiralty, landed at the yard at half-past 10, and inspected the officers and men of the Stezm Reserve drawn up in front of the Steam Reserve-office, under the command of Capt. N. ()- Chamberlain. The total number of officers and men was 1,583. Their lordships next viswithedertehtchTeyaminar screw troop ship, Capt.

The official dinner given by the Board in the Os borne took place last evening ; 30 invitations were issued. The Osborne is expected to leave Portsmouth this morning with Sir J. Pakington and the Sea Lords on board, for Portland, where the fleet will be in spected, and possibly put through a few evolutions off the " Bill." From Portland it is understood the Board returns to London. It was understood at Portsmouth yesterday that one of the results of the visit of Sir J. Pakington's Board to Portsmouth is the appointment of Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., now commanding the gun nery-ship Excellent, and Governor of the Royal Naval College, to the new office of " Director- General of Ordnance to the Navy." We hope this may prove to be correct. Capt. Key is a naval officer of the highest professional attainments, and, necessarily by reason of his greater experience, stands above any other in practical knowledge of all matters relating to ships' guns , projectiles, and armour. We believe that the scheme , for the arma ment of our ironclad ships, and which was one of the latest official acts of the Duke of Somerset's Board of Admiralty, was drawn up primarily by Capt. Key. - 7 - ' - setting on foot the proposed auxiliary hospital in Comm ercial-street,Whitech apel, for cholera pa t ients. _ _ In the course of the day the committee also made grants proportionate to the amount of distress in each locality from Chelsea, to local committees in the parish of Rateliff, the parish of St. jude's,White chapel, and in Stratford New-town, in all of which there is great suffering and destitution.

Mysterious Case of Alleged Poisoning. W INCIIESTER, Thursday Night. This afternoon Sir. J. H. Todd, the coro ner f or the county, resumed the inquiry, at the Plough Inn, Itchen Abbas, into the death of Mark Sims, aged 90, who died on the 25th of July under circum stances which gave rise to very strong suspicion that he had been poisoned. The facts of this very remarkable case have created throughout the country, and especially in this town and district, the utmost possible excitement, and may be thus epitomised. Mr. John Malcolm Corrie is a gentleman living in style at a house called " The Cottage," at Itchen Abbas, his establishment con sisting of himself, his wife, six daughters, two sons, a governess, and nine servants. On the 4th July, at the early parlour dinner, hot baked veal, cold bacon, potatoes, and, cabbage, were served, and the servants afterwards partook of the same food. Martha Tully, the cook, dressed and dished up the meat, the kitchen-maid attending to the vegetables. About 12 hours afterwards almost the whole family were taken ill with symptoms of some foreign irri tant, causing sickness, purging, pains in the limbs, and other indications of poison. It further appears that Mrs. Corrie was in the habit of sending a hot dinner daily to the grandfather of one of her ser vants, the old man the cause of whose death has this afternoon been under investigation ; and on the day in question (July 4), a portion of the dinner referred to was taken him. He did not eat it that day, but it was put by to get cold, the woman who attended to him giving her children the gravy and vegetables, after eating which they were taken se riously ill with the same symptoms. On the fol lowing day (July 5) old Sims ate the veal, and in the evening was attacked with violent pains in the stomach and vomiting. He continued ill for three weeks and then died. Prior, however, to the death of Sims, Mr. Corrie gave the woman Tully into custody, and she was taken before the magistrates by Mr. Superintendent Everett, and charged with administering a deleterious drug with intent, &c. She was remanded several times, and at last dis charged from defective evidence. At the inquest an immense deal of evidenCe was given setting out the above facts, and further, that the woman Tully had said she would serve out any one that offended her. It also appeared that she was under notice to leave. Mr. John Covey, sur geon, of Itchen Abbas, deposed that he attended all the persons in Mr. Corrie's family. They suffered from pains in the bowels, vomiting, and purging. He also attended Sims, and made a post mortem examination. The mucous coat of the stomach was much inflamed, and covered with ulceration. Sims died from exhaustion, caused by the pain of the ulcers. They might have been caused naturally, but the man was in perfect health till he ate the veal from Mr. Corrie's table. Death was more consistent with having taken something to cause all the in flammatory symptoms. If there had been verdigris in the saucepan it must have been a very great quantity to make so many people ill. He (witness) was only just in time to save the nurse's life. He bad preserved portions of the stomach for the pur pose of analysis. He (Mr. Covey) also attended the woman Tully when she was at the Plough, where she had been removed by order of Mr. Corrie. She did not suffer from the same symptoms as the others who ate the dinner. By a Juror—She had no symptoms whatever similar to those of the persons in Mr. Corrie's house. Ann Hoar proved giving Sims the veal which Mrs. Corrie sent him. He did not have the gravy. That was given to her (witness's) children, as he did not want it. About twelve hours after both the children were taken ill with vomiting and purging. They had not yet recovered, and the baby was still very ill. A great deal of other evidence was taken, and that given at the preiious hearing was read over in the presence of the woman Tully, who, after being cautioned by the Coroner, made the following statement :—" I am a widow, 34 years of age. I was cook to Mr. Corrie for four months. On the 2d of July Mrs. Curie gave me a month's notice to leave. No particular reason was given except small faults. On the morning of Tuesday, July 3, some veal was brought by the butcher from Alresford. I observed nothing particular except that the knuckle was black, ' as if it had been bruised. I mentioned it to Mrs. Corrie, who said it was all right. I partially cooked the veal that night, taking the knuckle part for white soup, which I boiled in a copper stewpan. After supper I directed the kitchen-maid to pour off the soup or gravy, but she 3mitted to do it, and it remained in the stewpan all night. I poured it off myself next morning, and drank about a tablespoonful, not ob serving any particular taste or smell about it. The stewpan•had a tin lining, which had been a good deal worn, but it was quite clean when I put the meat in. After I had poured the gravy off it was put into a basin, and on the following day was put to the veal, which had been partially baked the day before in the oven, on the Tuesday evening, and finished on the following day, when it was served up to the early parlour dinner with some mutton. The veal was baked in an iron dish enamelled. By the Coroner—How was it that it was cooked partly one day and partly the next ? The Witness—To keep it sweet. The veal gravy was the first thing cooked in the iron pot, and it w as perfectly good and properly done. The larder whereyn it was put was just fresh painted. The veal a i l ret up at which had been prepared as stated, dinner for the family. Up to that ti w m as T s b era ° wrong. (The bad not the least knowledge or idea of anything g given to the dinner fam i3 iy il table, and said witness then detailed the servants after the joint left t was takenas they and d e gravy, or ever had ill that she ate i o . f itwrhonenrsgt most earnest manner that were.) She denied i she put anything intention of injuring any one, nor had s h e knowledge or suspicion of any one else hay ehlefin expressed any ing The Coroner then said he proposed to close the taannyipkeLd with the gravy in any Way. i n quiry by reading the report made by Professor Taylor, of Guy's Hospital. it was then read, the results of the learned analyst's investigation showing the absence of either arsenic, antimony, mercury, lead, copper, or other metals. The Coroner, in summing up said that the case in all its bearings was one of a very peculiar kind, still from the evidence which had been adduced before them it must give rise to anxious deliberation. Ac cording to one theory the cause of the death might have arisen from the veal the deceased ate from Mr. Corrie's house on the sth of July, because he was in apparently good health up to that time. It was stated in the medical evidence of Mr. Covey that the poor man Sims died of inflammation, and THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1866. T HE AVELLINGTON, ST.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision madb by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans %ro, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet.

The ceremony was to have takon place at three o'clock, but in consequence of the im mense quantity of luggage attendant upon the circuit it was found necessary at Wells to put some of the luggage into a horso box ; the same course was adopted upon the change of carriages at Highbridge ; the consequence was that owing to the confusion at Bristol a large box containing the cir cuit papers and the commission was not taken out at Bristol, but went on with the train. When, therefore, Mr. Stock, accompanied by the mayor, sheriff, and other offi cials and trumpeters, reached the Guildhall, it was found that there was no commissions present. The officers of the circuit immediately set to work to discover the lost parchments by telegraphing to Wales, Highbridge, and Swindon, and after some time it was ascertained that the valuable box had been seized at Swindon, and that it would be returned to Bristol by the next train. I ADVERTISEMENT.i—HoIIo way's Pills. These celebrated pills are especially useful in preventing the ill effects of luxurious living. They purify the blood, cleanse the sto mach, gently stimulate the kidneys, and act as mild ape rients. Without some such corrective as Holloway's pills the festivity of one day often debars us from all enjoyment for a week. A few doses of this purifying medicine set the foulest stomach right, restrain biliousness, steady the circulation, give strength to the muscles, and composure to the brain and nerves. The pills are incapable of doing mischief to the mast delicate constitution. When the sys tem has been enervated by over indulgence, or exhausted by mercurial preparations, these pills aro excellent restora tives, they repel all poison and enrich the blood. THE CHOLERA. MANSION-HOUSE BELIEF COMMITTEE, Yesterday upwards of £650 was received at the Mansion-house, in public voluntary subscriptions, towards the fund now being raised there for the re- lief of the distress from cholera in the metropolis, under the auspices of the Lord Mayor and a commit- tee of eminent bankers, merchants, clergymen, and persons of influence, and at the close of the day th e total sum which had been collected there, in little more than a single week, amounted to nearly £lO,OOO. Among the contributors yesterday were the Go vernor and Directors of the Bank of England, £100; Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen, £lO5 ; and Messrs. C. J. H. Hambro and Son, £lO5. At one o'clock a meeting of the committee was held, the Lord Mayor presiding, to consider appli cations for assistance from the fund by local com mittees in the infected districts, and to make grants in aid. There were also present Sir Mordaunt Wells, Mr. R.N. Fowler, the Rev. William Rogers, the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, Mr. R. B. Wade, Mr. Andrew Johnston, Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Rip ley, Mr. Gilliat, Mr. P. C. Glyn, Mr. Chas. Hutton, Dr. Andrew Clark, physician of the London Hos pital, and Mr. Alderman Cotton. The LORD MAYOR at the outset took occasion to complain that Miss Sellon, without any previous application to him or the committee, and without any authority from them, had stated in a letter to the editor of the Times that subscriptions would be received at the Mansion-house to aid a temporary cholera hospital she was concerned in establishing in Commercial street, Whitechapel. He was astonished to read the announcement, inasmuch as no request had been made to receive funds for that purpose. He also took occasion to deprecate individual appeals to the public benevolence, such as were being made by the Rev. Mr. Ross, rector of .St. George's-in-the-East, and other clergymen—most worthy and well-mean ing gentlemen he had no doubt—in the face of the funds which were being intrusted by the public to the Mansion-house Committee, the Bishop of Lon don, and the authorities of the London Hospital, for the relief of the prevailing distress, and intrusted under circumstances which implied supervision in the public interest and all persons concerned. While the Mansion-house Committee had the greatest possible respect for individual clergymen, they had been strongly of opinion from the first that the fund at their disposal would be best administered by local committees representing the inhabitants generally and of which committees the clergy, of course, should form part. The committee had a large fund at their disposal, and if Mr. Ross, or any other clergyman, forming part of a properly organised local commit tee, would apply, a grant for the relief of the dis tress consequent upon the cholera and proportionate to the wants would be made. They had, indeed, already made grants of money for that purpose to St. George's in the East, with which Mr. Ross was connected, and ; therefore, there was the less neces sity for individual appeals to the public, ever gene rous as it was. The committee unanimously endorsed the obser vations of the Lord Mayor, and hoped they would be made public, calculated as they were to do a great deal of good. Mr. E. H. PALMER, a director of the Bank of England, and a member of the committee engaged in promoting the temporary cholera hospital in Com mercial-street, Whitechapel, tendered a courteous apology to the Lord Mayor and the committee for the unauthorised use which Miss Sellon had been induced to make of their names. A communication from Mr. Nixon, the house governor and secretary of the London Hospital, in reply to some Inquiries by the Lord Mayor as to the past transactions, present condition, and capabilities of the London llospital, with special reference to the reception of cholera cases, was brought under the consideration of the committee. The number of beds, he said, actually allotted for cholera cases was 139, and the space in the wards was such that they could, if, necessary, increase the number at short notice to 160. The number of patients on Wednesday last at 4 p.m. was 111. The largest number at any one time in the house had been 116. To attend the cholera cases they have the partial ser vices of four physicians and two resident medical officers, with the entire time of three extra medical residents. They have also a special staff of nurses, averaging 70 in number, besides three head nurses, and five lady volunteers. They have also teu extra men empleyed altogetherin theservice of the cholera wards. The supervision of those wards monopolised a great portion of the time of the matron and assis tant matron, and the supply of medicines by day and night requires the energies of their three dis pensers. The washing required to keep pace with the wants of the cholera wards might be gathered, he said, from the fact, that in the seven days end ing with last Saturday night their laundry received from the cholera beds alone 1,741 articles, of which 1,511 were sheets, blankets, counterpanes, and bed ticks. 'The disposal of the dead was during the severest period of the epidemic a matter of even greater difficulty than the reception of the living ; but that had also been for some dayspast thoroughly under control. A conversation arose as to the propriety or other wise of the committee countenancing the temporary hospital about to be established by voluntary effort in Whitechapel for cholera patients, and, indeed, as to the necessity for such an institution or otherwise, having regard to the present state of the epidemic. In this Sir M. Wells took a conspicuous part, re marking that though there had been 4,000 deaths from cholera in the eastern parts of London only 250 had died in the London Hospital, a circum stance which, he thought, indicated the action of the London hospital in the emergenT He ob served upon the hospital having received upwards of £20,000 in public donations during the present out break, and upon their receipts from that source hav ing been 90 per cent. in excess of their expenditure for cholera patients. He bore testimony at the same time to the admirable and noble manner in which the hospital authorities had discharged their duties during the epidemic ; but he argued that, assuming it had been necessary in the common interest, and with a view to stamping out the dis ease, to remove from their homes to the hospital the whole 4,000 patients who eventually died of cholera, the establishment would clearly have been unable to cope with the influx. A great object at such a time was to remove the sick from among the healthy, and if that was done in a proper way the London Hospital was clearly unequal to it from want of space. Even Dr. Clark, physician to the London Hospital, would not take upon himself the responsibility of saying that such an hospital as that about to be extemporised in Commercial-street might not be wanted. The Rev. Mr. Rogers, rector of Bishopsgate, who took part in the conversation, observed, on the other hand, that the cholera was certainly diminishing. Besides, he said there was a temporary cholera hospital in Wapping, admirably managed, as he knew from his own personal obser vation, and it was nothing like full. The local autho rities were bound to provide such places at such a crisis, though they might not exactly be Elysiums. Mr. JOHNSTON, a member of the London Hospital House Committee, explained that the collection now being made there had been avowedly made, not only to defray the expenses consequent on cholera, but in consideration of the loss the hospital had sustained by the authorities there having, in consequence of the visitation, to forego the great anniversary meet ing on the opening of the new win g . T he new wing had been of the greatest use at this juncture, and nothing had yet occurred to show that the hospital was incapable of meeting the emergency. The conversation was continued by Mr. Fowler and Dr. Andrew Clark, both of whom spoke in the interest of the London Hospital, and eventually the committee made a grant towards supplementing funds already subscribed by private individuals fo THOMAS ALLEN} Examined and approved, • HENRY ROSE, Auditors.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, For the year ending 30th June, 1866, read at the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 10th August, 1866. CHARLES CHATFIELD, Esq., in the chair. The have the satisfaction of reporting to the proprietors that, in pursuance Of the resolutions unani mously passed at the Special General Meeting held in April last, the amalgamation of the National Mercantile Assurance Society with the Eagle has been carried into , effect, and two of the directors of that society—Mr. Wil -1 coicon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre derick De la Rue—now occupy seats at the Eagle Board. The following account exhibits the increased income and outgoing of the year arising from the junction, which it may be remembered takes effect retrospectively, and the balance-sheet shows the assets as they existed on the 30th June last, augmented by those just transferred. By the Surplus Fund account it will be seen that the total income from premiums and interest is £483,376 Os. 11d., and the total outgoing £414,790 13s. 6d. The dif ference, £68,585 78. 51, and the surplus fund contributed by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 Bs. 6d., increase the surplus fund of the company to £899,095 Bs. The premiums on new assurances are considerably less than those of the foregoing year; but at the same time a much smaller portion of them has been devoted to re-assurance. The change in the financial position of the Company precludes an exact comparison with former years. The expenses of management of the Eagle for the year are al most identical in amount with those of the last. The ax penses of the National Mercantile Society will, of course, henceforth cease. Deducting the several items payable on demand, or at an early maturity, the realised assets, as set forth in the balance sheet, amount to £2,559,135 4s. Bd. Of this sum £178,340 belongs exclusively to the proprietors, £1,481,699 16s. 81* exclusively , to the policy holders, and £899,095 Bs. partly to the one and partly to the other. The last two items subject, of course, to exact adjustment at each quin quennial investigation. It remains only for the Directors to mention that, since the last annual meeting - the Company has lost, by the de cease of Sir William Gore Ouseley, and by the retirement of Mr. Gould, the services of two of the members of the board. Both gentlemen were much respected, and it is with great regret that the directors have to make this an nouncement. * £5,880,163 14s. 4d., less £4,398,463 17s. Bd.
