REPORT of the Directors' for the year and quinquennium ending 30th June, 1867, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 9th August, 1867 . GEORGE RUSSELL, Esq., Chairman of the Company, in the chair. The report which the Directors have now to make to the proprietors has reference not only to the progress of the Company during the past year, but also to the more important consideration of its financial condition at the close of another quinquenniurn and of the long term of sixty years from the date of its establishment. As regards the progress of the Company, during the year, it may be sullicieut to state that the ordinary receipts and payments have been augmented by those of another small assurance society, the business of which has been transferred to the Eagle in this interval. Thus, the total premiums received here have been £397,533, and the inte rest from investments £123,352; whilst, on the other hand, the claims on decease of lives assured have amounted to £307,046, and the expensei of management to £16,920- , this last sum including £3,909, which will, for the most part, now cease. An exception to this general augmentation is to be found in the case of the premiums on new assurances, which have amounted to £15,401- a less sum than they have reached in foregoing years. Adverting now to tho results of the quinquennial inves tigation which has now been in progress for several months, and which has been conducted with all due care and cir cumspection, it appears, from the actuary's statement, that there were in force on the 30th June last the following policies, viz.: - 16,882 participating, assuring, with additions, 49,306,962, and paying premiums amounting to £274,517 per annum. And 4,096 non-p;trticipatiog, assuring £3,709 , 743 , and paying premiums amounting to £112,319 par annum. The total amount assured in these two classes- , viz., £13,015,705 -together with some annuities, is found by the minute and laborious processes used in such investiga tions to involve an immediate liability of £6,224,830. The total annual premium , receivable -viz., £386,836 — is shown, by the Like processes, to be now worth £4,506,188, or nearly 12 years' purchase.- The net liability arising under these large items, viz., £1,738,662, is included in the following statement, which has been verified by the auditors, and which comprises all the realised and unrealised assets of the Company, and also all claims against it, immediate or remote. £3,533 7 6 LIABILITIES.

This last item forms the provision for the present bonus, and the accumulating fund for future bonuses and expenses, and it is recommended accordingly that £208,774 be now appropriated for immediate distribution, leaving £772,740 13s 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet the reduc tions of premium in respect of the policies transferred by the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of which reductions, it may be remembered, is to take place in 1868. The share of the present distribution pertaining to the proprietors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early in October. The portion to be allotted to the policyholders will be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of the addition made in each case despatched to them ; but this process will necessarily occupy considerable time. Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined table, which exhibits them in the instance of assurances twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com mencement of the risk.

The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory, and they trust that the Proprietors will be of the same opinion; looking at the progress which the Company has made during the last twenty years and the position which it has now attained they feel themselves justified in anti cipating that its future career will bo a successful one. They will only add, that they hope in a few weeks to be enabled to remove from their Temporary Offices to the new promises in Pall-mall, and thenceforth to have more suit able accommodation for the carrying on of the Company's business than it has been their good fortune of late years to enjoy.

The LOUD LIHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. • The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the authorities of Leicester. The Expiring, Lands Continuance Bill was passed through Committee. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE AND THE PROROGATION. The Earl of DERBY intimated that the house would meet to-morrow (Saturday) at 2 o'clock, in order to pass certain bills, and that the prorogation would take place on Wednesday next. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) BILL. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved that the Com mons' amendments to this bill should be considered. He said that the other house of Parliament had limited the period of the act to one year, while this house had agreed that it should be for three years, but he thought that the amendment was a trifle, and he should move that it be agreed to. The amendments were then agreed to. The Commons' amendments on the Railway Companies . (Scotland) Bill wore agreed to. POLICIES OF INSURANCE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the amendment on this bill only left it its title. The effect of the amend ment really was that a person holding only a partial in terest in a policy might sue for and recover the whole of its amount, and the other par ties to it must sue him. It appeared to him quite impos sible that the house could agree to this amendment. The amendment was then disagreed to. CONSOLIDATION FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a second time. HOURS OF LABOUR REGULATION BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved the second reading of this bill. Ho stated that there were an innumerable class of employments in which children, women, and young persons were employed, which the Factory Act Extension Bill did not contemplate, and this bill was destined to regulate the hours of labour of young persons employed in workshops, and gave power to the local authorities, by which ho meant the corporation, or, if there was none, the vestry of a town, to regulate in their dis tricts the hours of labour. The Earl of SIfAFTESBURY said that they had not in this bill the assistance of inspectors as the Factory Act had, but were going to the local authorities, who were employers of labour; but ho must remark that they ought in passing this bill to be very grateful to the great employers of labour for the generous assistance they had given them in carrying out bills like the present. It was many years before they could get any great result from the original Factory Act, and this bill would bo considered an admirable supplement to the new Factory Act. But there were some defects in it which he shoulihnove in the n'xt session to be amended. The bill was Chen read a second time. COURTS OF REFERENCES BILL. This bill wa 3 road a second time. The Earl of DEVON moved that the Church Tempo ralities Orders (Ireland) Validation, &c., Bill be read a second time, which was agreed to. The Fortifications Bill was read a second time. The Commons' amendments to the War Department Stores Bill were agreed to. The Companies' Act (1862) Amendment Bill passed through committee, and the report was agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 3 o'clock. CHARTERHOUSE ESTATES BILL. This bill was further considerod, and the standing orders having been suspondod it was road a third time and passed. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (ARRANGEMENTS) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTORS. Mr. OT WAY asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was intended to withhold from the sergeant instructors attached to the volunteer corps from the FOgi inents of the lino the additional twopence per diem paid to sergeants of the line and militia ? Sir .T. PAKINGTON said he presumed the question related to the 2d. lately granted. (Hear, hear.) The sergeant instructors of volunteers consisted of two classes, viz., those sergeants who have been lent to the volunteers, and who are still retained on the lists of their respective regiments, and with respect to them it was only fair that they should receive the addition. (Hear, hear.) With respect to those who had left the line and were in receipt of pensions, their case had not yet been decided. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. DARBY GRIFFITHS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of the Go vernment that the bill for the Prevention of Corrupt Practices at Elections, which had been considered and re ported on by a select committee, should be brought for ward at the earliest period next session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not feel competent at that moment to sketch out the Par liamentary campaign for the ensuing year. Ho should b 3 sorry if the bill was not passed, and the Bost way to achieve that object was to introduce it as soon as Pos sible. PARS-LANE. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the F irst Commis sioner of Works whether, in order to give gre ater facilities for the circulation of traffic and relieve the present over crowded thoroughfare of Park-lane, he would endeavour to obtain her Majesty's consent for cabs to cross the corner of Hyde Park from the gate at Hyde Park-corner to Stun hope-gate, in a similar manner as cabs are now per mitted to 'rose Hyde Park from Victoria -gate to Prince's-gate. Lord J. MANNERS said he had received no represen tations that there was too little traffic at the Stanhop3- gate. The traffic was too great in the other direction, and he did not think it would be advisable to interfere with the existing arrangements. He r Ma j esty had g i ve n her assent to the proposal for the widening of Park-lane, which would give much greater facilities to the carriage traffic in that neighbourhood, and it was only the unfor tunate difference that had sprung up between the Metro politan Board of Works and the Corporation of the City of London which prevented the improvements being com menced. Mr. AYRTON asked whether the very rich but very much under-assessed parish of St. George, b u t very had been applied to to contribute to the cost of the improvement. in the negative, as the cost Lord J. MANNER S re p lied of making the improv ement was to be paid for by a cont tinuation of the B coal tax. ARS AND BARRIERS. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the home Secretary if ho intended next session to introduce a bill to remove the bars and barriers on the roads in Whitechapel, Gray's Inn-road, the Foundling, the Bedford, the Euston, the Portland, the Southampton, the Westtninster, and the Portman estates, So so a to place the metropolis in the same position as Paris and the other cities on the continent - Mr. G. HARDY did not propose to do any such thing. TUE IRISH CHURCH. LEFEVRE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if be would lay upon the table, before the close of the the S ession, in acc ordance with the assurances given by Chief Secretary for Ireland on the s into th the reve of July, tnue he of the names of the com missioners to inquire Established Church in Ireland, and also the names of the Irish Education Commissioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said tho reason the names were not made known was because they h a d not been deci ded on. Several applications had been made, but success had not attended those efforts. That was the sole cause that had led to the delay in publish , ing the names. BUENOS AYRES. NOWQQA poked tie Secretary of St,tto Lox On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCLIEQUER, that the house at its rising adjourn to Monday, Mr. NEWDEGATE called the attention of the house to certain circumstances connected with the select committee appointed to consider, to hear evidence with respect to, and to report upon the Ecclesiastical Titles and Roman Catholic Relief Acts, to the evidence taken by, to the pro ceedings, and to the report of the above committee. Mr. WHALLEY followed the hon. member. Mr. WALPOLE said ho had sat 4 1 , ya•that committee, and according to his view of the matter their duty in that committee was not avoiding any particular act, or to come to any foregone conclusion. He thought the duty of the committee appointed was for the purpose of inquiring and reporting whether, in their opinion, there was anything whatever in the practical working of that act weighing upon Roman Catholics which made it expedient that the act should be repealed or altered. Those who had been instrumental in the appointment of the committee lead failed to prove that there was so, and the committee came to the conclusion that there was no practical grievance, and therefore it had been thought unnecessary to call evi dence on the theological bearing of the question. THE CASE OF CUNCANON. Major ANSON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department a question with regard to the sentence passed on a man named Cuncanon at the last Stafford assizes ? Mt. HARDY said at present he had no official informa tion on the point. The motion was then agreed to. The house then adjourned until Monday next. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TAFF VALE. The dividend for the half year ended June 30 would be at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. NORTH-EASTERN. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at York; Mr. H. S. Thompson pre sided. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said that in respect to the work ing of the past half year he had not any startling revelations to make. The North-Eastern was a steady-going company, and lon g , he hoped, would remain so ; but even the steadiest company, if it was a commercial undertaking, must feel more or less the ups and downs of trade. When the trade of their district was prosperous they were prosper ous too; if the trade was depressed they suffered ; and it was to him a great proof of the essential aoundness of their position that they had not suf fered more within the last six months, when one of their staple industries—the iron trade—had been in a languid position. The net result of the working of the half year was that the gross receipts had in creased £10,158, while the working expenses had increased by £17,174, so that the net amount of available income was less by £7,016.. The e xpen- 1 diture on locomotive po wer, which was one of the largest causes of expense in working the railway, amoun ted to £306, 588 in t h e half year, being an increase of £5,610 as compared with the corres ponding half of last year. Out of that one-third was the cost of supplying fuel—coke and coal; but he believed the price had touched its highest point that in the last contracts they had bad there was a sl i g ht diminution of price, a nd in any change that was likely to take pl ace the directors hoped it would be towards a diminution, and not towards an in crease. In In the o ther heads of expe n diture in locomotive d e partment there had bn a dimi nut same i the on, s o that if the price of co ke had been the locomotive department would have shown arisen a dimi not - nu tion of £5,6 00 . This would have from any starving of e efficiency of the ser vice, for he thought h th e might sa f e ly say that they were never better supplied with locomotive power than at the present m moent. He referred to o th e r heads of expenditure, including the increas e in wages, which bad caused the expenses in most d e p a rtments to increas e ; but he was happy to think they had probably touched their highest point, not the tendency was not to so great an increase of wages as it was a few months ago. There was au increase of compensation for loss and damage of £2,800, whic h was always a source of great regret even if it did not involve damage to life and limb ; but in Parliamentary expenses there was a diminu tion of £1,500, which would be still more con spicuous in the next half year. Another from the in source of increase d charge on the revenue arose terest on preference capital, and the rate of interest, in consequence of having had to renew on higher terms, had risen from £4 7s. 31d. to £4 Bs. 11d. per t cent. Having shown them the worst side, he mus say be had considerable gratification, at the end of 12 months of severe financial depression and stag nation in trade—that amount of financial difficulty which had caused so many bubbles t o burst had caused seriou s difficulty to m any o f the largest- ra il wa y companies in t he kingdom — h e had cons derable gratificationin laying before the shareholders a su mmary of the ex p enditure and receipts.

The Ciimmixii; in moving the adoption of the report, said that there bad been no serious interrup tion to the works in consequence of the difficulties which had attended the placing the debentures and securities of the company, owing to the depression in the money market, and the d ela y in getting posses sion of the land. Every c onfidence was entertained by the directors in the success of the railway, and their opinions were based on the very largo and increasing traffic of the Metropolitan Railway Com pany. The paucity of fun ds had caused difficulties between the directors and the contractars, but they had received the advice and co-operation of Mr. Parson, olwiirman of the Metropolitan Railway, I:‘ , 4 —, 4 „ spA FE it who had suggested several mod ..ttr, tract, which involved concession /4 he believed the result was that ait oVoiiikTee . , 4 between Brompton and Westmins et-110: , 4 be opened for traffic by the commeriernetit of Se summer of 1868. It was proposed that the new debenture stock should be offered pro rata to the shareholders, and no doubt it would be mainly taken up by the present proprietors. Ile thought that the abandonment of the Easton and Charing cross line would prove a great benefit to the Metropolitan District Company, with which, to some extent, it would have competed. Every facility would be offered to the London and North Western or any other company for the purpose of bringing traffic from the north to the south of London. Mr. SHERRIFF, M.P., seconded the motion. A SitAinmoLmit called attention to the remune ration of the directors. Ile thought that the remu neration would have been fixed at £2,000 a year. At present the management charges were higher than those of the Metropolitan. They 11:01 not yet completed two miles of the line, and had spent £1,800,000. The shares upon which the calls had not been paid should be forfeited ; and he wished to know what amount of debenture stock it was pro posed to issue, and when it was expected the line would be opened to Cannon-street, and if the line from Brompton to Cannon-street would be con structed for £3,600,000. Another Shareholder moved an amendment re quiring a detailed statement of the capital of the company, and of the manner in which it had been expended. The CHAIRMAN explained that with regard to the remuneration of the directors, £4OO of the £1,94 which appeared in the accounts belonged to the pre vious year. The original estimate might possibly be exceeded, but it would be by a very small amount. They had no objection to give more details if required but the accounts were open te—tbi examination of shareholders at the office, and the form in which they were made out was the usual one. There had been paid up on capital accountduring the half-year £93,000, and the arrears amounted up to the pre sent time to £200,000. Mr. PARSON said he thought the position of the company had been much improved during the last month. As to traffic he was confident that it would be quite sufficient to pay a very considerable divi dend. The amendment was withdrawn, and the report of the directors was adopted. The meeting was adjourned to the 22d inst. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceedings. NORTH LONDON.

STATE OF TRADE. - --- MAN C HESTER, Aug. 16.—The animation which showed itself in this market earlier in the week has entirely disappeared to-day, and business has been quiet, with weaker prices. Sellers of shipping yarns say business has assumed a muchier to tta dis ne, the cons t an tly received bad accounts m Calcu couraging operations. Buyers for that quarter are entirely out of the market, and prices, without being nominally lower, are somewhat weaker. Tho market for home trade yarns is quieter to-day, and in prices it may be said -id. out of the id. advance obtained on Tuesday has been lost. In cloths w ofe have had a very subdu ed tone. The failure Messrs. Nicholls and Ashton, spinners and manu facturers at Lower Darwen, with liabilities to the ex tent of £35,000 to £40,000, has had more effect upon the market than a failure for such an amount m i g ht hare been expected to produce. doubtothe news coming when bad cloth accounts aro to hand from Calcutta, which speak of failures in the bazaars, with enormous stocks, has been calculated to affect people more deepl th y an it otherwise might. Th e telegram also speaks of a depressed market and Th e business here in clo th lower prices at Cal cutta. to-day under these circumstances has become very uns ettled, and fo r such sales as they madeebuyers have had to accept lower quotations. There and is no brisk ness in business for any quarter, prices are drooping. CARDIFF, 15.—The steam coal trade both at the have exportsbeenofwhich, n last su ch good customers as usual. The h mouth reach 160,766 tons, being a decrease of 7,458 tons as compared. with the corresponding month of last year, the falling off being principally observable in the European consumption. In the Aberdare Valley the steam coal collieries are indifferently employed, and the stoppage of the Aberaman works has been the cause of a large amount of distress. Coastwise, the shipments in July were 85,465 tons, against 77,987 tons in the corresponding month of 1866. West of England and Irish houses aro tak ing advantage of the present low rates of freight to increase their supplies. The iron trade is perhaps on the whole steadier, and makers are looking for ward to an accession of rail orders :Is the result of the improvement which has taken place in railway securities. Quotations foe tin plates are fairly maintained, and the works are well employed. LEICESTER, 16ch.—There is a fair business absence doing in all branches of the staple trade, but an of speculative feeling. 11rools present a more cheer ful appearance, there is ralher more mos make ving off than o f late, while the improved inquirie market exceedingly hopeful. Great firmness is s hown by both staplers and farmers. What little c h ang e has taken place in prices is in favour of sellers.
