ITTA The annual meeting of the Queen Insurance Company was held at the head-office in Liverpool, on Wednesday. The directors' report, which was adopted unanimously, was most satisfactory, blth as regarded the life and fire branches. It appeared that in the life department proposals to the large amount of £55,000 had been declined during the year, showing the great care taken in the selection of lives ; whilst the new policies issued were larger by £53,000 than those of the preceding year. The premium income of the year was £16,352 ss. id. The first quiequennial period having arrived, Mr. S. Mo ncr i eff Wilson, the actuary of the company, has made the necessary investigation into the com pany's affairs, and the result, as shown in the re port, is exceedingly gratifying. Tho valuation was made on the basis of the 3 per cent. Carlisle tables, and after a laborious assessment of every individual policy, the actuary, in his report, states that the bonus to be added to all policies entitled to participate, " will exceed on the average of ordinary assurers 46 per cent. per annum of the total pre miums paid, and will rise in some instances accord ing t o age, as high as 65, 70, and even 75 per cent. of the total premiums which have been received." The high position which Mr. Wilson occupies in the insurance profession is ample guarantee that the large bonus thus apportioned is warranted by the Position of the company's affairs. In the fire branch the premium income of the year wasi7o,3oo 25.11 d., being an increase of nearly £23,000 over that of the Previous year, and this amount has been carried to the credit of the reserve fund. A dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum was declared. INIr. Sohn E. Leyland, the sub-manager in Liverpool, has been appointed secretary to the company, to be resident i n L on d on, where he will devote h i s energi es to strengthen the position of the company's f:reingeoas,and pay sp ec i a l a tt ent i on to some o f t h e have beebranches, which, in the case of the "Queen," ex", remunerative.

A plague would supervene, and many hundreds of thousands would perish, The dockyards would be destroyed, and speculat ing despots on the Continent would gloat over the downfall of English supremacy, and talk of invading us with the pretext of help. Tho cast-iron bridge at Queen-street would not be left for the New Zealauder, and though the forged upper structure at Charing-cross would be inde structible save by time and rust, the masonry of the piers would burst through the cast-iron casings, and leave the bridge a wreck. And meanwhile throughout England similar ruin might prevail, and commerce be stopped, and famine add its presence to other evils. The transit of food and fuel by water would cease, and the toppling down of brick viaducts would stop for a time all railway transit. — Once a Week. BANNS OF MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN.—The rare occurrence of forbidden banns of marriage occurred at St. Andrew's Church, Stratton, Cornwall, on Sunday last, the 18th. The banns had been published for "the third time of asking," when a tall, middle-aged woman rose from her seat, and in an audible voice said, " I forbid these banns, sir." The clergyman, the Rev. W. B. Marsh, then requested that the woman would come to him in the vestry after service. This she aid; and it uns dis covered that the poor woman had only too good cause for forbidding the banns, as she was the bona fide wife of the man whose banns hal been called for the third time that morning p R E,BlFlE77EitixRO Exchange a N .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. MANSLAUGHTER. —Ann Harnett was placid at the bar on remand, charged with the manslaughter of Joseph Holland. It will be recollected, from a report of the previous exa mination of the witnesses at the Mansion• house, that a quarrel arose between a female with whom the deceased cohabited and the prisoner, and in the attempt to separate them the prisoner struck him a violent blow, which at the time caused him great suffering, and after three or four days he died. The fatal occurrence took place in Smith's-build , ings, Bishopsgate. Br. Fowler, the medical gentleman who attended the case, after the occurrence, said he had assisted Dr. Holden,of St. Bartholomew's llespital, in making a post mortein ex amination of deceased, and the result of these labours was that they were of opinion that death was occasioned by the vomiting caused by a violent blow in the pit of the stomach, such as that described by the witnesses. The siomach of of the unfortunate man was in a state of acute inflamma tion, Dr. Holden, assistant-surgeon, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, said he was present with Dr. Fowler at a paid mortem examination of the deceased, and he quite agreed with his opinion as to the cause of death. The prisoner having been cautioned in the usual manner, said she had nothing to say in answer to the charge. The Lord Mayor fully committed him for trial at the next sessions of the Old Bailey. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARK.—Esther Parsons, de scribed as a laundress and of no home, was charged before Mr. Knox with sleeping in the open air in Hyde Park. George Fassnige, 604 A, deposed that while patrolling the park about 11 the previous night, he saw the prisoner asleep under a tree near the Royal Humane Society's receiving -house. He then took her into custody. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the prisoner gave any account of herself, and whether she was one of the wretched women who infested the parks? The constable said the prisoner frequented the park, but he had never seen her asleep there before. In answer to Mr. Knox, Inspector Bowles, C division, said the park gates were cicsed from nine at night till six in the morning, during which time persons were prohibited from being there. Constables were, however, on duty till 12 o'clock at night. Mr. Knox said it was highly desirable the women should be removed. It was a terrii)le story altogether. He should sand the prisoner to prison for a month, and when she came out she could go to the workhouse. Anything was better than what she had been doing. Whether from fear of being taken into custody, so much publicity having been given to the matter, or from some other cause, last night there was only one woman found sleeping in the park. ALLEGED FRAUD.—Alfred Styles, a tall, well-dressed young man, who gave the address 8, Buckingham-street, Strand, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged by Sergeant Thompson, of the detective police, on a warrant, charging him with having obtained, at 119, Jermyn-street, from Martha Cattle, the sum of £lO by false pretences, with in tent to defraud Mr. Charles Cattle. The accused was formerly a grocer's assistant, now a sot. disant captain, and is the " enthusiastic youth" recently discharged at the Old Bailey for the indictment charging him with enlisting young men to go to Poland. Upon the case being called on, the Sergeant informed Mr. Knox that there was no prosecutor present, whereupon the accused was discharged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE PLUNDERING OF COFFEEHOUSE -BEEPERS, —A man between 30 and 40 years of age of sallow com plexion, who calls himself John Walker, was placed at the bar charged with the wholesale plunder of coffeehouses. Peter Smith, a detective officer, by whom the prisoner had been brought in custody, called— Mr. Charles Wingfield, coffeehouse-•keeper, 10, Park-side, Knightsbridge, who said that on the night of the 7th inst. the prisoner slept at his house ; he came in with another man and asked for a bed for the night, with which they were accommodated. Prisoner and the other man came down together at eight o'clock on the following morning. Prosecutor's wife hastening up stairs found that the rob bery had been committed, and immediately called out to her husband that the room had been stripped, and he fol lowed prisoner and the other man, who had not at the time got many yards from the house. Finding themselves fol lowed, they took to their heels, and crossed Hyde-park in different directions. The prisoner here escaped, but the other man was taken. Mr. Selfe—What did they take away from your house? Prosecutor—A pair of sheets, blankets, counterpanes, and other things. Mr. Selfe—Have any of them been found ? Prosecutor—The counterpane, a blanket, and a pillow case were found upon the other man, and identified as my property. They were concealed round his person. Mr. Selfe—What has become of the other man who was taken at the moment ? Peter Smith-11e was committed from here, and tried last Monday at sessions, where he received 12 months' im prisonment. There were three indictment's against him. Mr. Selfe—Are there any other charges against the prisoner ? - Smith—Several, and I want a remand in order to pro duce them. There were 25 different persons who identified the other man with robberies, and the prisoner was his companion. I have no doubt that a great many cases will be produced against him. Mr Selfe (to prisoner)—Have you anything to say ? Prisoner—Nothing, Remanded till Tuesday next. ---. THAMES. A ROW IN A DOCTOR'S Suor.—Henry Colville, a tall grave-looking man, about 31 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with the following strange conduct : Mr. Patrick Joseph Healey, an apothecary, of 14, John street, Poplar, said the prisoner came into his shop at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, drunk and in a very excited state. The prisoner said " You have poisoned me, and I'll have revenge I" and called upon him to leave the shop and to meet him in the street, and on his refusal to do so made a rush at him and knocked down a medicine bottle, which was broken. He had great difficulty in preventing the pri soner striking him, and the violent exclamations and noise caused a mob to assemble in front of his house. He called in a police constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Partridge—Did he strikeyou ? Mr. Haley—He did not, sir. He would have done so if I had not retreated. Mr. Partridge—What is the amount of damage done ? Mr. Healey—Only Is. 6d. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner if he would pay the money ? The prisoner—l will, sir. I era very sorry indeed that I should have acted so. I was intoxicated, sir. Inspector Boare, of the K division, said the prisoner was in a most furious state all night, mid raved like a maniac. The prisoner made a most desperate attempt to commit suicide, and it was necessary to have two constables in the cell all night to prevent him repeating the attempt on his life. Mr. Partridge—Do you know anything of him ? Inspector Bearo—No, air. The prisoner—l was beside myself last night; the drink mado me quito mad. Mr. Partridge — You may go on paying is 6d for the bottle you have broken. The prisoner—So ends my catechism. SHIPPING —This Day.

On Monday, just when the Malton train was attain ing full speed, after starting. from Thirsk, a little girl, eight years old, daughter of Mr. Thompson, of Sackleton, fell headlong out of the train. The mot her, who had also a child in her arms, was bent u p on j um p in g out of the t ra i n also, and was only kept from doin g so b y main. force. The accident was witnessed by s ome plate-lay ers, who stopped the train. The guard and come of the passengers went back and found the girl apparently dead. There was the impres • aim of her head quite distinc t in the ballas t. The girl was carried to a neighbouring cotta g e, where, on Tuesd a y night, she lay quite unconscious. It is believed the door of the carriage was not fastened. FOUNDING A FAMILY. A German, named Heoflich, residing five m iles west of L a C rescent, was married ha Portage, in November, 1869, t o a h ealthy German girl, The week after they married they moved to I ll inneimta, on the farm which they now occupy. I n A ugust, 1861, Mrs. Heoflich gave birth to three boys, two of whom lived. In June, 1862, she ga ve birth to thr ee b oys an d a girl ; two of the boys and the girl are living. On the sth of this month she gave birth to two girls and a boy, all o f w h om were, as late as Tuesday of this week, alive and well. Ten children in less than three years is pretty good, even for this vicinity. The parents are proud of their success in the family line, and point with pleasure to their company of German infantry. Government cannot afford to draught the head of that family—American Paper. COALS. The Dumber of collieries at work has increased from 2,397 in 1853 to 3,088 i❑ 1862. In these col lieries there were employed in 1861 no less than 235,590 colliers. The quantity of coals produced and sold in 1861 amounted to 83,635,214 tons, this being the largest quantity produced in any one year. Owing to the interruptions which several of our manufacturers experienced in 1862 the amount of coals which passed into the market, or were con sumed at the place of production, fell to 81,638,338 tons. Very large stocks have been stored in Lanca shire and other districts ; the actual drain, there fore, upon our coal beds was probably as large as it was in the previous year. In 1861 it is stated in these returns that nearly two millions and a half tons of coals were burnt or wasted at the pits in Durham and Northumberland alone. In the rublication for 1862, Mr. Hunt says " the amount of the coals burnt or wasted at pits has been so differently represented, and appears such an uncertain, although very large quantity, that it is for the present omitted." Some attention having been directed to the rate at which exhaus tion of our coal beds is going on, it becomes a really important element to determine with all possible accuracy the extent to which this system of waste prevails on the surface, and it is no less important to determine the waste which takes place in the mine. In Derbyshire about one-sixth of the quan tity of coal raised, which amounted last year to 4,534,800 tons, is lost in the colliery, and this is net much in excess of the quantity of coals lost in the workings of coal in other districts. In estimating, therefore, the rate at which we are draining our coal measures of their fossil fuel we cannot take less than 90,000,000 tons as representing the annual rate of exhaustion. The exportation of coals in 1862 amounted to 7,671,670 tons, and was qn increase of 445,952 tons on the exportation of 1861. IRON. The quantity of iron ore raised in 1862 in these islands amounted to 7,562,240 tons, and we im ported 36,270 tons. This was used to feed 581 blast furnaces, which were distributed as follows:—In England, 306 ; in Wales, 130 ; in Scotland, 135 ; the quantity of pig iron smelted being 3,243,469 tons, which is an increase on the two previous years. In 1860 we made 3,826,752 tons, and in 1861 3,712,390 tons. The value of the pig iron at this place of production last year is estimated at £9,858,672. COPPER. The number of copper mines worked in these islands in 1862 was 230; of these 201 in Cornwall and Devonshire. For several years there has been a steady decline in the rate at which copper has been produced from our mines; the relative pro duce of the last three years has been as follows : Ore. Fine Copper. Tons. Tons. IS6O 236,696 .. 15,968 1861 231,487 .. 15,331 1862 .. 224,171 14,843 Our imports, which were 74,163 tons of ore and 20,317 tons of regulus in 1861, increased to 84,054 tons of ore and 35,388 tons of regulus in 1862. TIN. The returns of dues paid to the Stan nary Court, which are made up to Sept. 29 in each year, give the production of the tin mines of Cornwall and Devonshire as 11,841 tons of ore, producing of white or metallic tin 7,578 tons, valued at £879,048. The keeper of mining records gives the production of the whole year 1862 as 14,127 tons of tin ore, pro ducing 8,476 tons of metallic tin, valued at £983,216, This is the largest quantity of this metalliferous ore which has ever been produced in any one year, the probability being that this will be exceeded by the yield of the Cornish tin mines in the present year. For certainly more than 2,000 years tin has been obtained from Cornwall and Devonshire, and yet we find the granite and clay slate rocks of these counties yielding a larger quantity than ever to the industry of man, and there does not appear any reason for supposing that we are exhausting any of the stan niferous districts. A fear has been expressed by many that the copper mines of Cornwall are nearly worked out. That there has been a falling off in the quantities of ore mined for some years past is cer tain ; but if ever mining is permitted to be carried on again with honesty and zeal, so that the full amount of the subscribed capital shall be expended in subterranean explorations, judiciously directed by experienced miners, we believe it will be found that ample stores of copper are yet to be discovered.

From time to time, after long intervals, there have been small quantities of this precious metal produced in various parts of these islands, and, con sequently on the discovery, there has been much ex citement. The discovery of gold in the Leadhills, Lanarkshire; at Wicklow , in Ireland; and more recently in the neighbourhood of Dolgelly, in North Wales, are examples, in each case, of enthu s i as ti c hopes deferred. We have, however, in the returns before us, a reliable statement of t h e production f rom one gold mine (Vigra and Clogan) for the past two years. In 1861 the quartz lodes upon which they are working gave 2,784 standard ounces of gold, which were sold for X 10,8 16 17s. In 1862 the produc tion reached 5,299 standard ounces, which were sold for £20,390. w e fi n d by the list of mines given in the Appen dix to the "Mineral Statistics" that no less than 24 workings are entered as gold mines. From non e o f these have we as yet any return of gold; we shall wa it with much curiosity the publicati on o f the statistics in 1864. The returns of ziric ores, of iron pyrites, and o f other less valuable metalliferous and earthy min e • rals are gi ven, the to tal results being as follows for the year 1862 : METALS PRODUCED FROM lIRITISU MINERALS AND COALS Gold .. 5,209 oz. £20,390 value.

We l earn, therefore, that the actual wealth added to the national store, as obtained from our native rocks, amounts to nearly £45,000,0000. Mr. ADDERLEY, in the course of his remarks at the Coleshill Farmers' Club, said :—lle Was d inin g within the last fortnight with the Social Science Association in Edinburgh, and although the object of that association was a grand one—to promote the science which tended to the advancement of civilisation--it was a very convivial as sociation. He remembered that the learne d Scotch lord who in the morning delivered a learned sp eech upon the amend meat of the law sang comic song s in the evening after dinner, and smacked Lord Brougham on the shoulder to keep in chorus.

MARK:LANE. Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were on a very moderate scale. The demand for all qualities was by no means active ; nevertheless, a fair clear ance was Effected at Monday's currency. The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was large. Sales, generally speaking, progressed slcwly, yet prices ruled tolerably firm. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. There was an increased supply of foreign barley on offer, but the show of home-grown parcels was somewhat re stricted. Malting qualities changed hands rather more freely at full prices. Malt sold heavily at about previous rates. The supply of oats was very large. The trade was dull for all qualities. Good and fine samples supported former prices, but inferior produce sold at low rates. Beans and peas met a slow sale at Monday's decline in prices. In flour a moderate business was transacted at previous curren ties. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt Oats. Fl om. English...— 1,510 J 320 430 430 I 390 .
