One of the greatest regattas ever produced, perhaps, on the Thames was that held yesterday over the course be tween Putney and Hammersmith. It owes its origin to the success attending the Metropolitan Clubs Regatta last year over the same course. The competition in that, how ever, was confined to clubs between Teddington and Greenwich, while on this occasion the competition was in a very proper and handsome manner thrown open to the world. Great as regards entries for the advanced season of the year, great by reason of the funds collected to carry it out, amounting to something like £l,OOO, and great in its numerous patrons, amongst whom will be found the names of the Right Hon. Lord Mayor, Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons, Alderman Bosley, and others of equal note, there can be no doubt that with proper financial sup port the first of a series of amateur regattas, second to none in the world, has been produced. Necessity com pelled delay this year, as the arduous task of beginning the work and starting it on a sure basis had to be accom plished ; next year the committee intend to hold it a couple of months earlier, and then, near Henley Regatta time, we shall probably have two or three days racing on one of tho straightest and best reaches on the Thames. The pride taken by the London amateurs in get tin g u p this ' , regatta may be 'gathered from the fact that Mr. Hubert Playford of the London Rowing Club by his own.exertions collected a sum of £433 towards the purchase o f the chal lenge and presentation cups, the remainder beinggac bered in from the public purse by equally z ealous gentleman other The clubs.

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 Directors have the satisfactionof 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 coxon (heretofore the chairman), and Mr. William Fre derick ela 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 bo seen that the total income from premiums and interest is £483,376 Os. lid., and the total outgoing £414,790 13s. 6d. The dif ference, £68,585 7s. 5d., and the surplus fund contributed by the amalgamated society, viz., £151,545 88.6 d., 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 tho 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 tlicie of the last. The 6X penses of the National Alercantile 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. Bd.* 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. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT. Dn.
