EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1862. The Directors of the Royal Insurance company ar at the e now ft Red upon to make their accustomed periodical Report Meeting of its Shareholders. FIRE BRANCH. The Directors have. ac pteasingly as unexpectedly, at the close the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire Premiums have not only reached. but exceed 4300,000. The high comparative position held by the Royal in the Government Returns of Duty is again fully msintamed. The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably the amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact stir- Passes that of any year, with but two exceptions, sinc the commencement of flit- , Office, the balance to the credit on account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,107 10s. 5d., and of the North American business, whichis kept sepa rately, £11,097165. 10d. LIFE BRANC IT. - - The very g,ratifyln, duty now falls upon the Directors to state the sum assured on n-w policies for the year 1P62 exceeds even that of the yesr 1881 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived at the almost unexampled amount for a snurle year of £701.427 on 1.408 new policies issued. Until within the last few years it is believed that such a sum assured as that which has just been announced as the result of one year's business 'was all but unheard of. This portion of the Company's busine , 's has been carefully watched, and cannot fail to alve much satisfaction to the shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the future to the participating life assurer. Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum proposed for as suran-e smounts to .£ , 43,281. Various degrees of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined. No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day record their aceepred lives annually at a sum not much. if at all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis- Mule in a single year from deterioration of some kind or another. If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more rapid than that of any other Company established either in London or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the amount of New Policies already reported make all other evidence needless. The Directors conclude their present Report with the expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent hope, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater mavnl tude, combiniug distinguished commercial success to the Office with a l engthened'career of usefulness and protection to the public.

Distinct from the saturnalia of Hampton and the greater pretentious of the meeting at Reading, the Egham gather ing affords an especial attraction to the Londoners in its easy distance from town, and in the certainty that if the sport be not of first-rate character, yet an agreeable day may be enjoyed on Runnymede. On this occasion, the ele ments were, however, unpropitious, and the heavy showers sadly interfered with the enjoyment of the multitude. The card did net hold out any great prospect of sport, but there were one or two close cente,ts, and a dead heat for the Runnymede gave an unlooked for excitement to the pro ceedings. The first race for the Betting Stand Plate was won, after a pretty race, by Bolero, and the King John Stakes were the hollowest of victories for Mr. Alexander's good-looking filly by Teddington. For the Runnymede, Odine was made a very warm favourite at 6 to 5 on her, and she looked like a winner opposite the stand, but Detec tive managed to get up, and a good race between the two resulted in a dead heat. In the deciding one, Detective walked over, and the stakes were divided. Mr. W. Beville cantered in on Devotee fur the Welter Stakes, making an example of his opponents, and for the Ankerwycke, the two favourites, Reindeer and Fletton, finished first and second. Her Majesty's Guineas brought the unusual number of 12 to contend for the prize, which was won in hollow style by Gibraltar. At the conclusion of the race, a tremendous storm of rain and thunder quickly cleared the course of the crowds, The attendance was good, though the counter at tractions of Stockton detained many professionals in the North, and the sport was better than was anticipated.

Gamecock, in company with Deerfoot end Spitfire Kitty, got away in front, and ran in company to the straight. where they were joined by the favourite, who took a de cided lead as they reached the distance, having Mr. Nel son's colt, Deerfoot, and Spitfire Kitty in attendance. Half way up the latter dropped back, and in a few strides further Gamecock was out of it, leaving the issue with the two, Bolero winning cleverly at last by a neck ; a length and a half between the second and third; Gamecock a bad fourth.

Betting-6 to 5 on Odine, 5 to 2 aget Gamecock, and 7 to 2 agst Gamecock. Gamecock cut out the work, closely followed by the favourite and Detective to the distance, where the latter went to the fore and came on with a clear lead, but was joined halfway up by Odine, who appeared to have the best of it to the stand, when Detective coming again got up in the last stride, and was enabled to make a dead heat of it. Gamecock finished a good third. Deciding Heat—Detective walked over, and the stakes were divided. The Egham Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for three-yr-olds and upwards.

Cuenskaw, the owner of the Aurora, destining her for the China trade ; Mr. Russel, C.E. ; Mr. Allen, R.N., of the United Service Gazette; and other gentlemen whose names are well known in the naval, scientific and literary I world. The principle of the adaptation of double screws to ships of war has been so far acknowledged in its importance by the Admiralty the.l; their lordships have given Messrs. Dudgeon an order to construct a small vessel which shall combine in their most efficient form the double-screw principle which they have so spiritedly and successfully brought into public notice. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The iron troopship Tamar, 2,812 tons, 500 horse power, since her removal from Chatham harbour to the steam basin, has been inspected by Capt. W. E. Mends, C. 8., director of the transport department of the navy, who was accompanied by Capt. C. Wise, suprrintendentof thedockyard, and Mr. W. Moody, master shipwright. The result of the insocczion ws in the highest degreA satiraftec:s•4ok.,i manner in which the Tamar hasTbeen constructed and fitted, reflects great credit on her builders, Messrs. Samuda Brothers. All the available hands belonging to the dockyard are at present engaged in preparing the vessel for sea, and already her Lc tver masts have been put in, and a commencement has been made in fitting her wire standing rigging• In consequence of the great length of the Tamar' some difficulty was experienced in turning her when placed in the great basin, the size of which is 520 ft. by 300 ft., and it was found necessary to open the gates of No.l dock to allow the ship's head to get clear. As soon, however, as the large basins now in progress at Chatham Dockyard are completed, not the slightest difficulty will be experienced in turning vessels of double the size of the Tamar. During the time the vessel was in dock at Chatham she was fitted with a couple of steam cranes in the forecastle for hoisting in and out stores, baggage, B:.c. In addition to the poop and topgallant fore castle, with which ebe has been fitted since her launch, she is to have cabinserected for her Warrant officers, she will also be supplied with an improved oven for baking fresh bread for the use of the troops and ship's company on a plan invented by Mr. Blake, of Portsmouth dockyard. The cabin for the officers of the ship under a lofty poop, and the quar ters for the ship's company are placed beneath the topgallant forecastle, by which arrangement all communication is cut eff between the troops and the ship's company. The Clio, 22, 1,472 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. Milles, is being rapidly dismantled at the Nore, previously to her being paid off into the Chatham steam reserve. She has been in commission up• wards of four years, during which time she has been attached to the Pacific station. The Clio has been an exceedingly healthy ship, and only a compara tively small portion of her crew who left England in her in 1859 have been sent home ;- s while desertions have been very few. Most of her stores have been returned to the dockyard, and her guns and shot forwarded to the Ordnance stores, Chatham ; her powderand shell have been deposited in the magazines at Upnor Castle. The ships on the Australian station at the date of the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sulli van, at New Zealand; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jen kins, at Sydney ; the Eclipse, 4, Commander Mayne, at New Zealand. The Miranda has been under going repair in the Government dry dock at Syd ney, dry rot having penetrated the hull in so many places that it was found necessary to lay both sides open. Several portions of the frame have been taken out and replaced by colonial timber of excellent quality. Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Master- Commander Bawden, from the Mediterranean, has been docked at Woolwich for survey and repair. Her masts have been taken out and tested in the usual manner by scraping, straining, and baring, to ascertain their efficiency for further service, and have been found defective. The mainmast has been in place since 1849, in constant use, and the fore- mast was heel-pieced in Malta dockyard two years ago. The yards and topmasts are still serviceable and good. The lower masts will now be replaced by spars of more substantial dimensions, suitable to the burden of the ship, with new rigging, &a. The tunnel to the screw alley, hitherto dangerous, on ac count of its confined size, will be enlarged, and the ship will be entirely refitted throughout. Peacock's composition, which has been found to answer the purpose of preserving the ship's bottom, is in course of being removed, and the ship will be paid down anew with the same process.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 25.—1 n the yarn market there has been a considerable business done to-day, especially for expert. Prices have been advancing, as will have been perceived by previous reports, during the last two or three weeks, and they are higher again to-day. Yarns (mule and water twist) for export are in some instances as much as H. per lb. higher than they were last Friday. Spinners are now rather deeply under contract, and old stocks are very much reduced, so that there is scarcely any left. Shippers to India have been among the buyers, and, in fact, the purchasing has been pretty general for all markets. A moderate business is reported for the home trade, the de- Mend running a good deal upon 32's to 70's cop yarn, which are about d per lb. higher in price than on Friday. Cops for export are also in moderate request, and sellers of these are asking about the same advance. Doubled yarns (So'a to 120's) are 2d per lb. above recent rates, with a moderate business at the advance. In cloths since last Tuesday a very large business has been done, and an ad vance in prices has taken place which may be considered fully equal to Id per lb. This refers to fabrics of nearly all descriptiOns. Manufacturers are so well engaged that they refuse to go on at the current rates in the early part of last week. Many of them are so well engaged for some months forward:that they are unwilling to take additional orders for future delivery. The demand has been very general, and includes T cloths, long cloths, printing cloths, and shirt ings. The lighter fabrics for India, such as mulls, jacco nets, &c., are also in good request. The orders held for these latter descriptions of cloth are understood to be con siderable in magnitude, and the demand will extend in some cases over September. Notwithstanding the impressions created by the Poor-law returns during the last few weeks, there are strong reasons for believing that the prospects of the operatives are looking brighter than they have been for some time past. No inconsiderable number of manufacturers are coming or have come to the conclusion that they will lose less by running their mills than by keeping them idle, and have started their mills again, while others are pre paring to follow the example. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report:—" From Tuesday last to the close of the week we had a very active demand for nearly all kinds of goods, and a very large business was done in them a. gradually har dening prices. Yesterday and to-day, as buyers have satis fied their wants for the present, and are unwilling to pay the further - advances generally asked, the amount of busi ness done has been considerably restricted." LEEDS, 25th.—The cloth halls have been moderately well attended to-day, and some parcels of miscellaneous goods were bought. The great bulk of the business, however, is done directly between the manufacturers and the merchants, so that no very large quantities of new goods are brought into the hails, but the markets in the latter, by their general cheerfulness, indicate that the woollen trade of the district is Sound. Some of the dressers and finishers are working overtime in order to complete cloths which have just been purchased, and most other departments of the trade keep active. Wools keep very Inns in price, and the same may be said of all the newest fabrics, whether wholly made of wool, or of wool and cotton, or of wool and secondhand woollen stuff. ROCHDALE, 24th.—The flannel trade has not been more brisk for many weeks past than it was to-day, and buyers not only attended numerously, but showed much freedom in buying. These remarks apply to all descriptions of goods, and especially to fine dyed goods, which have come greatly into favour, and this improvement appears likely to be con tinuous. The supply of inferior flannel seems likely to be deficient, and as it has been the feast here last week the ope ratives' exertions have been wanting to assist in recruiting stocks. The high prices of Yorkshire woollens do not seem to depress them in this market, for they aro disposed of readily, and still higher rates are spoken of. Woolataplers are doing more general business, and good parcels of all sorts have been sold since our last report at the high prices now s o fully established. In the Paris corn-market during the past week prices have again tended downwards.

Since 1840-1, when the screw may be considered to have been definitely adopted in this country for both the Royal and mermitile navies, there has been no incident connected with its subs&quent his tory which has created so great a degree of interest in the minds of scientific men and the ufruers of both services as the introduction of the double, or " twin" screw principle, each screw worked by in dependent engine power. The reason of this is suffi ciently obvious to the initiated, although perhaps not to the general public. The fact is, we are enor mously increasing the tonnage of our shipi and their engine power, and, as a natural sequence to this course, the draught of water of these large vessels has to be increased in proportion to their tonnage, in order to fully develope their screw's power, for, as the engine power is increased so also increases the diameter of the screw, and so aleo must increase in the same ratio the ship's draught of water. The natural result of this general increase in size and driving power is that the deep-loaded merchant single-screw steamer can only move in certain direc- Lions in narrow and tortuous rivers, and conse quently incurs a considerable degree of extra ex pense under such circumstances, exclusive of loss of time, which in the present day is acknowledged to be of more real value than monby itself. Our War rior and Black Prince are, and our Minotaur and Northumberland will be, from their great draught of water and the great space they require to turn in, perfectly use!ess to attack such for tresses as Cronstadt, New York, or even Cher bnurg ; or to run into such a place as Spithead, passing the proposed marine forts on the Noman and Horse, and tackle a ship or two inside the forts. The use of a single screw is, in fact, attended with so many dangers and difficulties, which may possibly be avoided by the use of two screws both in the Royal and mercantile marine, that it can be no matter of wonder that the subject should have acquired a degree of importance second only to the universal adoption of the screw itself in pre ference to the paddle. The practical introduction of the " twin" screw principle in this country is owing to the enterprise of Messrs. S. and W. Dudgeon, shipbuilders and engineers, of Limehouse, who, in November last, tried their first vessel fitted in this way on the Thames, the Flora, of 400 tons and 130 horse power of engines (collectively), fol lowed after wards by two other vessels, the liebe and Kate, of about the same dimensions and power, the trials of which were carried out under the supervision of Admiralty officials, and were fully reported on each occasion in The Sun. The success of the trials were in each instance most unequivocal and satisfac tory, and in yesterday's trial of the Aurora, while the value of the twin screw principle was again de monstrated in the most satisfactory manner possible, it was also on this occasion developed more fully than in either of the previous trials. The double screw was adopted by the Admiralty some years since in the construction of the iron-cased floating batteries, but they were driven in those vessels by collective, not independent engine power ; conse quently the adoption of the principle in their case only enable the Admiralty to construct vessels that float at a moderately light draught of water, and carry an immense (for their tonnage) weight of armour and armament, in addition to the weight of their engines, but it gave the vessels no increased powers of turning, or manoeuvring rapidly under steam in any circumscribed space, which they would have possessed had their screws been driven by in dependent engines, as were the Aurora's in yester day's trial. It is these increased facilities which the double independent screws offer to ships of war for manoeuvring rapidly, whether engaged with an enemy afloat or with a shore battery, that has brought the subject so prominently before the notice of the Admiralty and the general public, and to these military purposes our report of yester day's trial more especially refers. The Aurora is an iron vessel, 165 ft. in length, with a beam of 23ft., a depth of 13ft. Gin., an area of midship section of 150 square feet, and a dis placement of 400 tons. Her engines have a collec tive nominal power of 120 horse, and drive two three-bladed screws, each independently of the other, 7ft. in diameter, and with a pitch of 14ft. Gin. The cylinders have a diameter of 26in., and a 21in. stroke. The Aurora is a smart looking vessel, with much finer lines forward and aft than were pos sessed by either of her predecessors. She carries two short masts, rigged for fore and aft canvas, and altogether, although " light as a bladder" on the water, has the appearance of a thorough steam " clipper." Her draught of water at starting yes terday was 7ft. 3in. aft, and sft. 3in. forward. A large party of gentlemen left town yesterday morning by the 10.52 train from Fenchurch-street or Tilbury station pier. alongside waich the Aurora lay with her steam up. Immediately on the party embarking the screws were set to work in opposite directions, and the vessel slewed round with her head down river and started on her trial at 12.20 p.m., under the charge of Mr. Leigh, Trinity pilot, the wind being strong at S.W., and the tide at half ebb. In running past the mea sured mile, in the Lower Hope, with the engines not up in the number of their revolutions, she was timed and found to go over the ground in 4 min. 8 sec., giving the vessel a speed of 14.516 knots. At 1.30 p.m. the Aurora was approaching the Nore Light vessel, the engines averaging 120 revo lutions, with 271 b. of steam and a vacuum of 25in., and every part working with the greatest possible smoothness. At 137 the Nore was passed, the dis tance from Tilbury, 20 nautical miles, having been done in 1 hour and 17 minutes, an almost unparal leled rate of speed, considering the vessel's horse power of engine and hull displacement. From the Nore to the Mouse Light the vessel continued her course, the wind still fresh from the same quarter, and the movement of the water which necessarily accompanied it giving the vessel, from her light draught and hold upon the water, s ufficient " roll" to detract from the efficient acting of her onl y j ust submerged screws. Notwithstanding this disad vantage, however, she ran past th e " mile" on the Maplin Sands in 4 minutes 10 seconds, giv ing a speed of 14.400 knots, it being now about slack water, and the tide of little moment either way, and accomplished the distance to the Mouse Light at 2h. sm. 225., hav ing been 28 minutes and 23 seconds from the Nore —eight nautical miles. During the latter part of the run down a small jib had been set to steady the vessel, but no other help was given by the vessel's canvas to her engines in attaining this somewhat extraordinary rate of speed. Frem the Mouse the Aurora was run out between the Maplin and the Barrow as far as the S win Light, passing the James Dixon, a fine screw collier under sail and full steam, with her head in the same direction as the aurora's on the way. On reaching the S win the vessel's head was brought round and laid homeward, it having been decided not to lengthen the trial by making circl es, &c, owing to tho high state of the wind, thu light con dition of the vessel, and the very satisfactory manner in which she had already turned both to por t and star board in answer to her rudder or serowe , pr"ving that she possessed the same facilities in t hat respect as were possessed by the Flora, H e b e , anal Bate, a faci lity of manoeuvring, in fee, w hich must , tted with necessarily be possessed by every vessel built for and fitted double screws driven by indepen dent en ; fir es.

The deaths in London in the week that ended Saturday the 22d August, numbered 1,337, includ ing the deaths of GOO, modes anc C 47 iernalee. of the deaths occurred on the north side, and 374 on the south side of tho Thames. If a correction is made far increase of population, it will be found that the deaths of London at the sonT,:)ef dtheemyheaafrr. present are may 13 above the average derived from ten corresponding weeks, viz , the thirty-fourth diseases week in each of the years 1853-62.. It is thus ap parent that the health of London is not materially (if we except small-pox) which at this sea affected by the prevalence of any of those virulent havefrom t b been v known nti.c e class s e tl i ' n el it the h e e w b e ii e l k s of mortality. that has just ended were -1 '4932 t , - , or more than the average derived from the last ten veers. The mor tality by diar r h oea to children under two . Sears of age was no less than 146, in a total of 182. The deaths from small-pox in the lest six weeks were successively 51, 34, 43, 49, 45, and 39. The deaths from measles were 17, or 7 below the cor rected average; from scarlatina and diphtheria 139, O r 77 abore the average; from whooping cough, 26, or 5 below the average; from typhus, iecludit g gastric, infantile, inflammatory, and other feverN, 61, or 13 above the average ; from diarrheet, dr sentery, and cholera, 205, or 83 bt-_low the average ; snore than one half of the deaths which occurred from scarlatina, typhus, and other fevere, and from r ..:,..:1::), occurred in.elie - .-:st andionth., l 2i str i ets. 1 Five nonagenarians died, - two widoWs, ~i;6a 9 and 94; ti,l, single woman, aged 93, and two men, aged respectively 90 and 93 years. . Last week the births of 912 boys and 876 ;iris, • in all 1,788 children, were registered in London. lln the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853- 62 the average number (corrected) was 1,811. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.738 in. The reading decreased from 29.72 in. at the begin ning of ti - e week to 29.54 in. on the 17th ; increased. to 29.77 in. by 9h. a.m. oh the 19th; decreased to 29.60 in. by 9h. p.m. on the same day; increased to 30.02 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 21st, and was 29.88 _ _ _ in, at the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.1 deg., which is 2.9 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 76 deg., and occurred on Sun day. The lowest night temperature was 46 deg., and occurred on Friday. The range of temperatur e in the week was, therefore, 30 deg. The difference between the mean dew-puint temperature and air temperature was 9 deg. The mean humidity cf the air was 72, complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind generally blew from the south west. Nearly three-tenths of an inch of rain fell, chiefly on Monday and Wednesday. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IN PARIS. official . ll annual us report di r cT e n c t t o h r e of hospitalstha that d e p a:: m charitable ent. Ho institutions of P ar i s d uring the year 1861 has just been published The by m begins by calling attention to an important improvement introduced into hospitals as regards spiritual consolation. Hitberto the clergy of the recognised forms of worship had alone enjoyed free access to the hospitals, to the exclusion of members of the Anglican, Greek, and other foreign churches. This restriction has now been removed, and ministers of all creeds, appointed for the purpose by their respective ambassadors, have now free admittance to patients of their own nation. Since the annexation of the new com munes to Paris, the right of sending patients to the hospices or al:es-houses is exercised by the Bureaux de Bienfaisance of the 20 arrondissements in an inverse order of rotation ; thus, the bureau of the 20th arrondissement has the presen tation to the fu st vacant bed, that of the 19th to the second, and so on. The number of admissions to the hospices of the Salpecriere, the Incurables, Menages, and Charon:le was 1,071 in 1861. The bake-house for all the hospitals, in which establishment, as our readers may remember, impor tant experiments have been in progress on a large scale for the better extraction of all the most nutritive parts of bread stuffs in general, baked 7,251,233 kilos. of bread in 1861. The hospitals consumed during the seine year 1,307,315 kilos. of meat; 1,890,500 litres of wine, 1,363,325 litres of milk; 1,601,284 eggs; 105,383 kilos. of butter; and 1,317,000 kilos. of vegetables. The Bureaux de Bienfaisance of the 20 arrondissements expended 4,401,129 f. for chari table purposes. The number of patients t rea t e d i n t h e hos pitals of Paris was 31 , 911 , the number of day s p asse d t h ere w 68at and the total expense 4,921,979 f. T he largest numberpatients were contributed by the sth, 11 t h , 10th, and as h 2 a r r ondissements, commencing from th e s t h as the heaviest (8,076 patients). The minimum of patients was 4t 1307 f , p contributed by the 16th arrondissement (1,220 patients). The total expenditure of the Administration of Public As sistann amounted in 1861 to 23,467,3041. ; the amount of donations received during the year was 1,622,3271. in money, and 3,646 f. rente. M. Husson's report contains many other valuable details, for which we must refer the reader to the book itself. According to an official. report, Paris in 1859 contained 1,433 streets, borikvards, or avenues, 84 courts, 36 quays, and 141 squares or open places. By the exten sion of the limits of the city to the fortifications in 1860, there were added 1,230 streets, boulevards, or avenues, 146 court, 13 quays, and 103 squares or open places. SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYM A N . —The Rev. Spencer Dud Wild e , M . A „ v i car o f t h e par i a h o f Fl e tehi ng , in Sussex, has j us t d ie d i n a very unexpecte d m anner. On Sunday last, alter pe r f orm i ng th e usua l morning service in the church, ho went to tho pulpit to deliver the sermon, selecting for his text the words,:‘ Th meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all." n o had only commenced his discourse a few minutes when ho faltered and appeared unable to g o o n , Ite rich was an at dfirst the poor sup posed that he was labouring under strong emotion, arising from the serious illness of his brother, Mr. George Wilde, who resides in Surrey, a nd with whom he had bee n st a yi ng for a few weeks previously; but it soon b ecame apparent with that he was too ill t o proceed his s ermon. He was then assisted from the p ul p it and conv eyed to the vicarage im mediately the c ongregation dispersed. Medi cal aid was p rom p tl y obtained, but p rove d unava ili ng, as t h e re verend gentleman lingered i n a sem i -unconsc i ous state unt il four o'clock on Mond ay morning, when he expired. Ap o plexy is believed t , ) hav e b e e n th e ca u se o f hi s d eat h . The deceased wa s 60 years of age, and had held the vicarage fur about 30 ye ars. adjoining , and is an interesting historical fact that although the rearing of silkworms and the un ravelling of the thread from them to be manufactured into articles of dress, were first practiced by the Chinese, the introduction of this branch of industry into Europe was due to Justinian, who, in the year 550, first succeeded in having the eggs brought to Constantinople. Mul -1 berry trees were planted, and every attention bestowed on the rearing of the insects. In a subsequent region, wo are informed by Gibbon, that such was the pro gress made, that China silk was successfully com peted with by the new industry. Spreading into Greece, it did not extend farther till the 12th century, when, cn the sackng of Corinth and Athens by the King of Sicily, it was introduced into Italy, and from thence, in the latter part of the 15th century, the rearing of silkworms was first prosecuted in the south of France. There it was deemed of such importance by Henry IV. that he rewarded persons who had been engaged in the manu facture of silk for 12 years with patents of nobility. The value of silk at Rome in Julius Cremes time was that of gold —a pound of silk being worth the same weight of the precious metal. Justixiian's labour was not in vain, as Europe has since realised its advantages, and it is now a remarkable, but for Turkish economists a gratifying, fact that at the present day the district of Brousa occupies tha foremost rank for the production of this valuable filament. —levant _Tiered.
