The Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3(1 January last, for the declaration of the ElGErrit BONUS, showed, 1. As TO THE PROGRESS OF THE SOCIETY, that, during the quinquennial period which terminated on the 30th June, 1866, NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of .£1,518,181, and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811, and the latter by £2,322, the corresponding items of any previous period; that THE INCOSIE had increased from X 195,400 to X 215,327 per annum; and that THE ASSURANCE FUND, after ptyment of £85,303 on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from £1,422,191 to £1,619,339. 2. As TO TILE FINANCIAL POSITION: OF THE SOCIETY. That the Assets on Juno 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 14 8 And the Liabilities on the same date 1,313,708 19 2 Leaving a surplus of £275,830 15 6 and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve Fund, THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d., of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division. 3. As TO TIIE RESULTS OF TIIE DIVISION. That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths, or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cont. on the' premiums paid since the last division; and that the CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the like premiums. The Report explained at length the nature of the In vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of which, as above shown, aro eminently favourable. The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers.

THY, LITXEMBITEG TREATY. BERLIN, May 18. A semi-official article has just been published here upon the Luxemburg question, which says : " Peace is secured anew, so far as human judg ment extends, a serious and a lasting peace. More fortunate than the peace Conferences of recent years, the London Conference has attained its ob ject, and has brought about a solution of the Luxem burg question, to which all the parties concerned have readily declared their assent. " The position of Luxemburg is settled upon fresh bases by a treaty concluded at London. It is notorious that the Grand Duchy, which the King of Holland governs as an independent State, had be longed to the Germanic Confederation since 1815. After the dissolution of the Confederation last ye ir the King of Holland, as Count von Bismarck stated from the commencement, could not be compelled to join a new German Band. The Minister announced that Prussia had never made such a proposal, and no wish was expressed from Luxemburg it.elf with regard to junction. Prussia did not wish to exercise either force or compu!sion upon the sove reigns, nor to increase the tinder that threatens European peace.' - " While, therefore, for reasons of right as well as policy, our Government was able to look forward solely to a free agreement as to the future position of Luxemburg, the right of garrisoning the fortress, hitherto possessed by Prussia, had to be taken into special consideration. This right of garrison re posed originally equally upon the former position of Luxemburg as a German federal fortress ; but the treaties by which that right was transferred to Prussia stipulated expressly that in its exercise the interest of the combined defence of Prussia and I I Luxemburg' should be paramount. "After, as a matter of course, Luxemburg ceased to be a Federal fortress by the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation, it remained reserved for the further consideration and agreement of Prussia and Luxemburg—the two Powers immediately con cerned—to determine the extent in which they should maintain or modify the treaty in question in the interest of the united defence. As, however, the state of affairs hitherto existing had come to pass, with the express co-operation of the European Great Powers, it seemed appropriate also to admit those Powers upon the present occasion to partici pate in the new decisions. These were the general points of view from which our Government pro cealed in the commencement with regard to the requisite settlement of the Luxemburg question. " With regard, however, to the special interest of Prussia, the interest, viz., of the defence of Prussia and Germany afforded by the right of garrison, our Government was obliged, in case the King of Hol land intended to give up the hitherto existing 1 treaty, to demand a corresponding compensation far the security of the frontiers of Germany, in so far as that had up to the present time been guaran teed by the fortress of Luxemburg. Above all, it was impossible for Prussia to consent that a fortress hitherto employed for the defence of Germany might in future become a means of menacing her. "Before formal negotiations upon the relations of Luxemburg took place between Prussia and the Ki n g of Holland, symptoms came to light that a project was entertained of ceding the Grand Duchy to France. Subsequent statements of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Corps Legislatif confirmed the fact that the negotiations pending between Holland and France actually turned upon the acquisition of Luxemburg by the latter Power. The matter thus entered a new and enti re l y diff eren t of a menace to the Prussia, i n abandon ing her right of garrisoning s f ta ro g n e tiers W o h f il G e Luxemburg, was bound under all circumstances t o aver t, e r t m h e a n y d n w g h e i r e h seemed -to be immediately realised, Prussia and Germany could but f ee l deeply hurt that the King of Holland negotiated with a foreign Power concerning a country and a fortress actually occupied by Prussian troops upon the basis of former treaties. " This was the starting - point of the l a t es t bnego tiations. The Prussian Government, supportedman , by t a sincere d es i re f or a th n e im n a a t t e io d n a a t l t e h x e cit s e a m m e e nt ti a n p ie pa b r y ent in Germany, peace, placed itself at first in confidential communi cation with the European Powers who had co-ope rated in the settlement of the treaties respecting Luxemburg. An earnest endeavour was soon ma nifested upon all sides to avert the outbreak of po sitive dissension upon the Luxemburg question. Thanks to the circumspection and moderation of all the Powers concerned, the Conferences have permitted the object of a peaceful solution to be at tained." Mr. George Peabody, who arrived in the Scotia, at Liverpool, was asked before leaving America to run for the Presidency. He replied that he preferred fishing for salmon—and we think he is right. Senator Sumner has written a letter to the New York Independent in support of his bill to establish equal suffrage in all the States. Theodore Tilton approves it, and says he knows that Chief Justice Chase also does. Postihaster-General Randall has tendered his resignation to the President on the ground that the South ought to be represented in the Cabinet. The President acknowledges the fact, but declines to accept tllo resigna tion. Yesterday Major-Gen. F. Murray, commanding the forces at Chatham, accompanied by Brig ide- Major W. Lynch, Col. R. 11. Crofton, command ing Royal Artillery ; 1) puty Assistant Superinten dent of Stores . C. Wilgress, and other ofEcers of the divisional staff, proceeded from head-quarters on a tour of inspection of the fortifications and other works, completed and in progress, at the Isle of Grain for commanding the approaches to the Thames and Medway at the confluence of the rivers. Although the fortifications at the Isle of Grain were commenced as far back as 1803, they are still far from being complaed. The Government engineers and other persons employed on the undertaking have come to the conclusion that much of the works already executed will have to be taken down. The large battery, in the in spection of which considerable time was occupied yesterday, which was originally constructed at enor mous expense on the western shores of the Medway, is now considered to be altogether useless, from the gradual giving way of the foundations. Indeed, from the present rate at which the structure is sink ing it promises at no distant date to disappear alto gether, about eight feet of the battery being already out of sight. It was originally designed for this battery to mount 20 of the 600-pounder guns, but as the entire work is broken by its own weight, any dt a i attempt a armamentrt a o nee. place rr e v h e me n , ttahhtietne battery y e t a lest u f e o rl d r e m e to i e d nd a l y b o l II : a d thete esici softr i i p t s p s alluvial soil of the marshes, on a subsoil of mud and,. silt of about 40ft. in thickness, beneath which the London clay is reached. The retaining as well as the several other walls of the structure were built in concrete, merely deposited in a common trench, without any preiiious preparation by piling to en able it to sustain the massive works placed on it. The result of this system .of construction, which was anticipated by every one but the Government engineers, has been that the works have been taken down to prevent their falling. The concrete, about eight feet in thickness, laid on the marsh for foun dations for the parapets, &c., appears, from the in spection yesterday, to have sunk about six feet, the e.pnsequence being that this part of the foundation is broken up and bulged by its own weight, and therefore altogether useless for the 'purpose for which it was intended. The slopes, which are formed of the earth taken from the excavations for the foundations of the fort, do not appear sound, and, although the precaution has been adopted by the engineers of introducing layers of hurdles to about every three or four feet of filling, yet even this has proved useless, as at a distance of about fifty feet from the foot of the slopes the ground has been raised up as much as three feet out of the original level, thus proving, what, indeed, ought to have been well known to all concerned be fore a block of granite for the fortifications was laid, thatthe soil in its present condition is too treacherous -and spongy to bear the weight placed upon it. After this description of the present condition of the bat tery it will only be necessary to add that all further work on this structure is, for the present at least, abandoned. The magazine fort is erected on the highest point of the Isle of Grain, to enable the guns to sweep the approaches to both the Thames and Medway. This mass of buildings already shows several serious fractures, necessitating a free use of iron tie-rods. The magazine is built on a bed of con crete Oft. in thickness, boxed in by Whole timbers, and sheet piles 25ft. in length. During the timethe piles were being driven in it was found then impos sible to force them beyond a certain depth, a thick bed of shingle being met with, through which the piles would not pass. The magazine contains bar racks for several hundred troops, with quarters for officers, and the fort is now occupied by a detach ment of Royal Engineers, who are engaged in re pairing the slopes of the ditches and in other works, some thousands of yards of the earthworks having slipped. The original estimate for the cost of the defences in the Isle of Grain was £lOO,OOO, but already a much larger amount has been expended on the works as far as they have been proceeded with. It would prove instructive were some member of the House of Commons to move for a return of the amount spent on the defences for the Medway and Thames and the present condition of the several works. The unarmoured screw sloop Danae; 4 guns, 350 horse power of engines, will be launched from Ports mouth dockyard at noon to-day. This vessel has been built from the designs of the present Chief Con structor of the Navy, and, as she is one of the im proved Amazon class of vessels, it is necessary to say a few words respecting her. She has a length of 212 ft. between the perpendiculars ; a length of keel per tonnage of 185 ft. Bin. ; a breadth, extreme, of 36ft. ; breadth, moulded, 35ft. 2in. ; breadth for tonnage, 35ft. 10in. ; depth of hold, 19ft. 4in. ; and burden in tons, builders' measurement, 1,268 8-91. The Amazon was designed solely to supersede the Roebuck class of sloops, none of which reached more than about 10} knots an hour at the measured mile. The Controller of the Navy Department had to make provision for carrying heavy guns, and at the same ti me to secure the highest possible rate of speed on small dimensions. When that vessel was first de signed it was believed that she would give a return of nearly or quite 13 knots, but this rate was barely reached on the trial of the vessel, but yet this ap parently unsatisfactory result was perfectly and satisfactorily explainable. The engines of the new type, with which the Amazon was fitted, had not, as a rule, nor have they yet, perhaps, developed all the power expected, and much heavier guns at the bow and stern had been ordered for the ship during the time she was building than she _was originally intended to carry when her keel was laid down ; a larger complement of officers and men being allotted to her at the same time. The consequence of this alteration in the weights of the ship was that, in stead of a measured mile rate of speed of 13 knots, she fell a little short of 13} knots at her deep-load draught. The loss on the estimated rate of speed was, however, but very insignificant after all, and was really nothing at all if the difference between the designed and actual immersion is considered. The next vessel of the class completed, the Vestal, just exceeded 121 knots. Taking a mean rate of 12 knots per hour over the measured mile, it is really an enormous and unprecedented speed (in the Royal Navy) for gun sloops of a little over 1,000 tons. The half-power trials of the Amazon over the mile gave 10136, 10.458, and 10•894 knots per hour, and these half. power trials gave her a higher rate of speed than the vessels she superseded possessed at full power. So soon as it was ascertained by the Admiralty that the full 13 knots could not be ob tained from vessels built on the Amazon's lines, and carrying the increated weights of guns, ammunition, crew, stores, &c., the Admiralty determined to proyide the speed, if possible, in the three ships of the same class then about to be built—the Danae, Blanche, and Sappho, of which the Danae alone had been taken in hand to any extent, and even she was but then partly in frame. Accordingly the designs for these ships were amended, and the Danae's fore body timbers wore taken down and built up again with increased length of some 25 feet, and conse quent fineness of the bow lines. The Blanche and Sappho have been constructed throughout from the new design. The new Board of Admiralty have ordered several other vessels to be built from the improved design, including the Sirius, at Ports mouth ; the Spartan, at Deptford ; and the Tenedos, at Devonport. The Danae is built of wood, strengthened with iron wherever it can be applied with advantage to structural strength. She has six iron bulkheads, one of which extends from the keel upwards to the upper deck .beams, about 15 feet abaft the ship's stem. The remaining five reach upwards from the floor to the lower deck beams, but carry side plates up to the upper deck beams on each side arid bolt to the stringer places of the upper deck. These stringer plates lie on the upper deck beams entirely round the debk and next to the ship's timbers, and by their connection with the bulkhead side plat?s tic up the interior frame of the ship in one rigid and unyieldin , ..; form. The Danae will carry two 61-ton awl 7-inch muzzle-loading rifle guns mounted on the broadside, and two 64-pound,T muzzle loading rifled guns, the latter firing through ports over the ship's stein and s'ern portheads.- Tne following appintaLmts have been made at the Ad:Himlty IV. 11.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND. The following were the three alternative proposi tions _marle.:l 4 y the Londo n and North- Western Rail way Company with the view of inducing the Mid land Company to become occupiers jointly with them of the Lancaster and Carlisle line, before the Midland Company applied to Parliament for the Settle and Carlisle Railway Act : " 1. That the Midland Company shall join the London and North-Western Company on terms of perfect equality in *he responsibilities and profits of the Lancaster and Carlisle lease, the line being managed by a joint committee as previously pro posed, both companies having power to work and use for_ all traffic without restriction, paying into a joint * fund the receipts on local traffic, and a mileage proportion of the receipts on through traffic, each of the companies being at liberty to carry any traffic they can at rates to be agreed on or settled by arbitration in case of difference, but without compulsory division. "2. That the Midland Company take upon them selves the entire working of the Ingleton branch of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, paying for the same, by way of rent, a sum equal to 5 per cent. upon the cost, the London and North-Western Company giving running powers between the Junc tion near Low Gill and Carlisle, on payment of a mileage proportion of the receipts to be agreed on, or settled by arbitration in case of difference, less 20 per cent. for working expenses, with access to and use (as far as the London and North-Western Com pany can give it) of the Carlisle Joint Station, on terms to be agreed upon or settled by arbitration. "3. That the Carlisle line should be used in the same way as the Great Western and London and North-Western use the Shrewsbury and Hereford line,—viz., that each company pay a moiety of the rent, local receipts going in reduction thereof, and each company using the line free and without any restriction." With regard to the controversy in respect to this matter, it was alleged by the Midland Company that the Act for making the line from Settle to Carlisle was applied for by them in consequence of " the London and North-Western Company having refused to concede the necessary facilities for the use of their Lancaster and Carlisle line ;" while the London and North- Western Company stated that the negotiation went off solely in consequence of the Midland Company's refusal to submit to arbitra tion any difference that might arise about the rates to be charged upon competitive traffic to add from Carlisle. DUTCH R lIENIS 11. The receipts for the fortnight ending April 30 amounted to £12,112, and for the corresponding period of last year to £10,953, showing an increase of £1,159. The receipts since the commencement of the book-year on May 1, 1866, including the above amounted to £266,719, showing a decrease as com pared with the corresponding period of the preced ing year of £25,855. The working expenses for the fortnight amounted to £5,575, or 46.3 per cent., and for the corresponding period of last year to £4,596, or 40 . 63 per cent., showing an increase of £979. The.working expenses from May 1, 1866, to April 30, 1867, amounted to £115,570, or 43 . 33 per cent. of the receipts, and for the preceding 12 months to 39.37 per cent. • • RAILWAY BILLS.

Meany" the Court of Appeal delivered -judgment on Satur day evening. The prisoner had been convicted at the last ordinary Commission of Oyer and Terminer of the crime of treason felony. It had been proved at the trial that the Fenian conspiracy, of which he was a member, existed both in America and this king dom, and that the prisoner had committed overt acts of treason felony in America, but no overt act was proved against him iu the county of the city of Dub lin, in which he was tried, or anywhere else in this kingdom. Questions raised on behalf of the prisoner at the trial had been reserved by the learned Judges for this Court, as to whether the conviction was good under the circumstances. All the Judges sat, with the exception of Mr. Justice Morris, Mr. Justice George, Baron Deasy, Mr. Justice Fitz gerald, Baron Hughes, Chief Justice Monohan, and the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench were for upholding the conviction. Mr. Justice O'Hagan, Baron Fitzgerald, Mr. Justice O'Brien, Mr. Justice Keogh, and the Chief Baron Pigott decided in favour of the prisoner. The conviction therefore is affirmed by a majority of one. In the case of " The Queen v. Mulcahy," which is to be brought before the House of Lords, Mr. Butt moved that the fees, amounting to £59, be re mitted. The Solicitor-General opposed the motion, and judgment is to be given on Tuesday. The health of the convict Burke is giving way rapidly, He was very ill during the week, and it was reported yesterday, but without foundation, that he was dead. He is not likely to live till the day appointed for hiS execution, the 29th inst.. Aylward still refuses to give any information re specting the persons by whom he was attacked. As law clerk, he was in the employment of a gentleman who is Crown Solicitor for a southern county, and the Fenians, it appears, believed that information was conveyed to the Government through him. About 1,000 persons walked in proce-ssionyester day at the funeral of a Fenian prisoner named Richard Stowell, who had been released from Naas Gaol on account of his illness. The four mail steamers plying between Kingstown and Holyhead are now all off the line. The Con naught lies at Liverpool, getting in new boilers; the Leinster is in the Dublin Graving dock, under re pair; the Ulster is laid up at Kingstown with her valyea damaged and the Munster is in liol) , head in VENECG. John M'Cafferty, found gu il ty of high treason, was sentenced to death this morning by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald. The prisoner said he was found guilty cal the evidence of one witness, and that witness a perjured informer. He sympathised with the Irish people, and would again join them if they had any prospect of independence, but would not give his tanction to the useless effusion of blood. He would go to his grave as a gentleman and a Christian. The judge said that the verdict wa3 just, and lie could hold out no hope that the sentence would be mitigated. The 12th June is the day fixed for the execution. Be-election of Mr. Gathorne Hardy for Oxford University. OXFORD, Monday, A convocation was held this morning at ten o'clock, for the purpose of electing one burgess to represent this university in Parliament in the place of the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, who had vacated his seat by accepting the office of one of her Ma jesty's principal Secretaries of State. The Vice-Chancellor (the Warden of all Souls' . College) presided over the convocation, and was at tended by the Provost of Oriel, the President of St. John's, the Venerable the Provost of Queen's, the, Venerable Archdeacon Clerk, the Warden of Alm - ton, the Warden' of New College, the senior and junior proctors, Professors Burrows and Wall, Dr. Kenyon, Rev. R. Mitchell (public orator), Revs. T. Short, W. West, G. S. Ward, - F. Merrick, and Dr. Rowden, registrar of the university. Several ladies and a few undergraduates were also present ; but on the whole the proceedings appeared to excite comparatively little interest. The VICE-CHANCELLOR opened the proceedings by stating briefly, in Latin, the special object for which this convocation had been convened. The REGISTRAR then read .the precept for pro-' ceedink to another election, and the statutes laying down the penalties liable to be incurred by any at tempt to commit biibery steorlaption. The VICE thwicEttou then inquired if any member of convocation desired to put in nomination any candidate to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Right lion. LT'athorne hardy; whereupon The PROVOST of ORIEL proposed, in a short Latin speech, the re-election of Mr. Hardy. The PRESIDENT of ST. JOHN'S seconded the nomi nation, and read a Latin address in support of it. The VICE-CITANCELLOR then inquired if any member of convocation desired to put any other can didate in nomination, but after a short pause, and there being no response to the question, the Vice- Chancellor declared Mr. Hardy duly elected. The official return was then signed and sealed, after which the Vice-Chancellor dissolved the convoca tion, the whole proceedings haring occupied just 11 minutes. Mr. Hardy was not present, as it is contrary to etiquette in the case of an election of a representa tive for the university for a candidate to be on the . spot, or to take part in the proceedings. After the election has been notified in an official manner, it is customary for the newly elected representative to call on the resident members of convocation and leave his card, returning thanks for the honour con ferred on him. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, May 20. The Union Company's steamship Celt arrived here this evening with 118 passengers and £6,430 in specie. Her dates are Table Bay, April 19 ; St. Helena, April 27 ; and Ascension, May 1. Besides her usual cargo the Celt brings two live koodoos, the first of this species of antelope brought to England, and a sdecimen of some stones found in the Orange River, pronounced in the colony to be diamonds. This stone, sent home by the Colonial Government to be tested, is said to be worth £5OO, and when cut and polished will be worth £BOO. The Cape Parliament was opened by the Gover nor on thel3th ult. His Excelleocy's speech—along address—commenced with explaining in a very con ciliatory tone that the Government had no wish to take up a position of antagonism to the Parliament, nor to show a want of respect for the two houses. Neither was the Govetnment actuated by hostility or insincerity in the matter of retrenchment. The speech proceeded to state that the Government had accepted the decision of the Parliament to adopt re trenchment, and were willing to give effect to that measure in detail to the best of their ability. It also set forth particulars of various reductions in the Go vernment departments. It proposed including a re commendation to shorten the periods of imprison-. ment of native criminals and to reduce their diet, in order to render the punishment equally disagreeable. A reduction of the expenSe of the frontierpolice his Excellency considered impracticable. With the reductions proposed to be carried out he estimated there would still remain a deficiency of £59,000 per annum of expenditure over revenue. To meet this the Government proposed a moderate duty on exports, particularly wools, the leasing of the Crown lands, an increase of the inland postage, and the issue of a Government paper currency. It also proposed the abolition of the present Houses of Par liament and the division of the colony into six electoral circles, each to return three members. To these 18 to be added three officers of the Executive Government, the whole to- form the only Legisla tive Chamber. The Governor also announced, in reference to the contribution towards the expense of the troops in the colony, that in 1868 one regiment must be paid for at the rate of £4O per man ; and that 1869 two regiments must be paid for, and for the three following years, at the rate of £4O for every infantry soldier and £7O for every artillery man iu the colony. The Governor's speech was favourably received, but many points it suggests are not expected to be carried. _ _ An Orange Free State commando, sent to drive off the Basutos from the disputed territory and to destroy their crops, had killed about 25 of the Ba sutos in so doing. Bishop Gray had expressed a desire to obtain from all the clergy of Natal their decision as to whether they were prepared to receive Mr. Butler as their bishop, and recommended them to poll the communicants, male and female, to ascertain who would receive Mr. Butler and who would repudiate him. Dr. Colenso had issued a pastoral, addressed to the clergy and laity, announcing that now it had been ascertained that there was to be no appeal from Lord Romilly's judgment, the time had come for him to vindicate his authority for maintaining order in his Church. He bid the clergy, if they thought him in error, to teach what they them selves believed, but required due canonical obe dience. I d a y t i ßarrett on , and CONSTANCE RIVERS.
