HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management aro less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dx.

New brooms are said to sweep clean, but experience teaches us that a new member seldom breaks through the routine - of the old. Whether the present Government will adopt the Whig mott o of " All right—drive on I" remains to be seen. 10ER ZEALAND. According to a private letter from Christchurch, the outbreak in New Zealand has been largely caused by the unfair and illiberal treatment of the natives by the colonists. The Government is quite incompetent to deal with the native question. The Maoris have behaved very well on many occasions, and are not indisposed to be friendly, but the manner in which they have been robbed and cheated for years past has disgusted both friends and foes. The Maoris, as might be expected, are much under the influence of superstition ; they have changed their idolatry for a curious mixture of Christianity and Paganism, and this new form of fanaticism is said to pro duce " a most maddening effect." The Maori King has greatly influenced his people by means of visions, of which the discomfiture of the colonists was, of course, the leading theme. He has addressed an edict to all the chiefs, ordering a general insurrection for October. TUE NEW CABINET. Mr. Gladstone has constituted his Cabinet with unprecedented speed. It will contain the full fifteen, the largest number ever included in this select assembly. Nevertheless, it will be deficient in one very important respect. Neither Mr. Forster nor Mr. Stansfeld is included, and the advanced Liberals are most inadequately represented. Of the fifteen Ministers, nine are Commoners, including the Marquis of Hartington, who will, however, not improbably be raised to the Upper House. In the last Cabinet there were at its retirement ten commoners—Mr. Dis raeli, Lord Stanley, Mr. Hardy, Sir S. Northcote, Sir John Pakington, Mr. Corry, Mr. Cave, Lord John Manners, Mr. Hunt, and Colonel Wilson Patten. In the present Cabinet the First Commis sioner of Works, Mr. Layard, will not have a seat. Lord John Manners had in the last, and his seat will be conferred upon the Postmaster-General, who in the last Administration was the Duke of Montrose, and in the present is the Marquis of Hartington. Six of the new Ministers—Mr. Lowe, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Childers, Sir W. Page Wood, Lord Kimberley, and Mr. Bright—have not previously been Cabinet Ministers. The ages of the new Ministers vary from 68 to 35. Lord Clarendon has attained the first age, the Marquis of llartington the second. The ages of the other Ministers are as follows :—Mr. Gladstone is 59; Mr. Lowe, 57 ; Earl Granville, 63 ; Mr. Cardwell, 55; the Duke of Argyle, 45; Mr. Bruce, 53; Mr. Chichester Fortescue, 45; Mr. Childers, 41; Sir W. Page Wood, 67; Earl De Grey and Ripon, 41 ; Earl of Kimberley, 42 ; Mr. Bright, 57 ; Mr. Goschen, 37. There are thus seven Ministers under 50 years of age, and eight above. The average is aboat 5Q- years—a far lower average than we were accustomed to during the regime of Lords Palmerston and Russell. THE COURT OF CHANCERY. The Court of Chancery is once more in a state of. dislocation. Lord Cairns gives way to Sir W. Page Wood, who will, of course, have a peerage. The new Chancellor leaves a vacancy in the Court of Appeal, and it is supposed that Vice-Chancellor Giffard will be the new Lord Justice. Then arises the question, who will be Vice-Chancellor in Sir G. Giffard's place ? Perhaps the post will be conferred upon Mr. Jessel, the newly-elected M.P. for Dover, whose seat would then be available for the Marquis of Hartington, if he should continue in the Lower House, or for Mr. Bruce. It was rumoured last -week that Vice-Chan cellor Stuart, who has completed the full term neces sary to obtain a pension, had retired, in order that the outgoing Government might console Sir Richard Baggallayfor his defeat at Hereford; but the rumour does not seem to have been well founded. THE FENIANS. It appears that a great pressure will be put upon the new Government for the release of the Fenian prisoners. The Lord Mayor of Dublin will present an address to the Queen, and he appears to receive considerable support in Ireland. Some enthusiasts have asked Mr. Gladstone to lay the foundation stone of a free church. There are not wanting signs that many pitfalls will be laid for the footsteps of the right hon. gentleman. LORD ROLLO. The Dundee Advertiser contains a letter and circu lar from Lord Rollo defending the course he has taken in changing his political convictio ns , an d i n still asking for the support of Conservatives in the late election for the representative peers of Scotland. The circular is addressed to Lord Colville. In it Lord Rollo says that when he gave his vote for the Suspensory Bill he had hoped that he might still act with the Conservative party. " But,' he continues, "after a most careful and anxious consideration, I am led to fear that I have formed opinions, or have opinions in the process of formation, on subjects lying behind the Irish Church question which will possibly withdraw my sympathies from the Conservative party for a considerable time to come." He knows that the Scotch peers are by a large majority Conservative, but he thought they had agreed to support some Liberal peers and acknowledge the principle that the minority should be represented. Should the result of the tie between Lords Nellie and Rollo be in favour of the latter, he had better consult Lord Cairns as to a minority clause for the election of Scotch peers. It may be that this acute lawyer will find reasons why the principle should not be extended so far. At any rate his lordship's views would be interesting, UNEXPECTED VITALITY. It was announced the other day that Lord Str a ff or d was seriously ill, and, as usual in such cases, hi s lord ship's shoes were already disposed of to h is son Viscount Enfield. The former now wr i t es t o the Times to say that he is not aware of the unpleasant fact of his illness, nor has he any intention to make a vacancy in the House of Peers for Lord Enfield, so long as he can keep hirn out. We are heartily g l a d to hear it. The way in which men ar e di spa t c h e d now-a-days is somewhat unceremonious and by no means flattering. It may at thes ame ti me b e a use f ul reminder to the living that the world can easily ioa on without them, and that the days df its mourning are very short. All the more reason why they shou ld make the term of life allotted them something which that world will miss. ARMY REFORM. "A Military Taxpayer" writes to the Times upon the subject of the expenditure and organisation of the army. He says there is too much pen-and-ink work both at the Horse Guards and the War Depart ment, and too many people employed to prepare useless documents. Those who know the most about military matters are never called upon to serve on committees. We have too many general officers. The existence of two independent staff departments of Adjutant and Quartermaster-General is a source of unnecessary and mischievous expense. " A Tax payer " condemns the system of shifting officers about; he complains of the heavy half-pay list. He would go so far as to endeavour to get rid of the supernumerary officers of regiments, and even of those already on half-pay, by offering them a lump sum down, calculated on a liberal scale, in discharge of all claims on the service. To them, probably, in many instances it would be a greater gain than to the State, as they would be free to enter on a new career with their minds .nndisturbed by the possibility of THE PEABODY GIFT. A member of the board of guardians of the City of London Union complains that Mr. Peabody's beneficence is not properly directed, and that the really poor reap no benefits from his gifts. He says : " It is the well-to-do manager of some City business, or careful clerk, who is encouraged in these honies, and no one who has the slightest look of manual labour or poverty. The whole scheme has degenerated into a commercial speculation. It is made to pay as high a rate of interest as can possibly be squeezed out of it, to the exclusion of the poor." At the East-end of London they want rooms at ls. per week. Poor widows and single women who earn but a few shillings a week would be glad of such accommoda tion. The matter is worth the most careful atten tion, both on account of Mr. Peabody's genero:Aiy and in the interests of these for whom he set apart the money. ANOTHER " INFANT." Lord Chief Justice Cockburn has had another infancy case before him, similar in some respects to Mr. Walker's. Certain Glasgow publishers, named Mackenzie, who are accustomed to the part and tout system of publishing, sold an illustrated bible f or fifty guineas to a young Cambridge undergraduate s named Hopwood, who was under age. The infant had a fortune of £7,000, bringing in £3OO a year, and this amount he appears to have dissipated utterly. The publishers contended that this bible wag a necessary, but the Chief Justice, pointing to its numerous illustrations and costly binding and clasps, declared that this allegation was absurd, and that the work was simply a luxury, or, at the most, an intellectual gratification. At the same time he spoke very strongly upon the conduct a Messrs. Mackenzie in having supplied a young gentleman with an article of the most luxurious extravagance without making an inquiry about his position. The plaintiffs then endeavoured to prove that though the original order for the work was given when the defen dant was under age, the delivery did not take place until he was past 21, and that therefore he was liable. They had refused to take back the book, although it had been repeatedly offered to them. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant, and Sir Alexander Cock burn gave leave to appeal on the technical point raised by the plaintiff. It is to be hoped that the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge will take note of this case. His right of " discommoning " trades men who encourage young men I- run into debt -ivies him full power to do so. THE LAW'S DELAY. There is at the present time a trial going on in the Dublin courts which had lasted on Monday thirty two days, and was even then far from completion. It is by no means a sensational case ; on the contrary, it is so dull that the court is abandoned to the judge, counsel, jury, and witnesses. The action, " DOOllll v. Dickson,' is brought by a builder against a reli gious society for enlarging and repairing a roman Catholic chapel, The society deny that they are indebted, on the ground that they are not responsible for the order given by their superior, who has left them for some time past. They say, also, that having taken the vow of poverty, they have no funds. Apparently they have funds to pay counsel, of whom three are Queen's Counsel and two are juniors, on each side. Th e -refreshers amount to twenty-two guineas a day, betides the original fees. A. whole host of architects and surveyors have been subpoenaed, and the court is full of plans, sections, photographs, and models. The case began on July 6th, and after four days was ad j ourned until October 26. It was resumed on the 20th of that month, and has continued ever since. Originally there were twelve jurors, but two of them, fortunately for themselves, fell ill, and were discharged. The ten others continue to sit, while their business is being utterly neglected. The learned judge has done everything possible, except shortening the case, to contribute to their comfort. They complained of cold feet, and he ordered that jars of hot water should be placed under each. When the water was poured in some of the jars burst, and the water ran about the jury-box, which steamed like a bath-room. His lordship at once had the jars replaced by metal pans, which are regularly filled each day. Any of them who desires to wear his hat is at liberty to do so, and the privilege is gratefully appreciated. THE PHYSICAL FEATURES OF A TEMPEST In his attempts to control nature and to watch its manifestations, the tempest seems to defy the power of man. Such observations as scientific men are enabled to make are worth record ing. On the morning of the 4th, Mr. Allnatt, in Sussex, noticed a restless equatorial wind, with a ragged sky. By the evening the barometrical pressure had fallen, and the wind had risen to a moderate gale. The barometer still fell, and the wind increased till the night of the sth, when a tremendous gust of wind . was followed by a rise of 2-10ths in the barometer. The wind moderated for a time, and gave way to rain until ten o'clock at night on the Gth, when the wind blew a hurricane from S.W., the barometer falling 3-10ths of an inch. After this the wind gradually began to diminish in force and volume, and the barometer again rose. It is worth the attention of scientific men whether some such system as that inaugurated by Admiral Fitzroy is not capable of rendering service. Are we to confess ourselves helpless in the matter ? Most of us will long remember Sunday night, the fearful howling of the tempest, as if all living things united in a chorus of agony, and heaven and earth were shaken. We pictured the storm upon the sea, the deafening roar of the ocean, the rattling thunder of the shrouds, the darkness which render man's senses of sight and hearing a mockery. The demon of the storm shouted in our ears his hideous wean. of triumph ; and our fears anticipated what th 6 morning revealed. The ocean has swallowed up many a life, to add to the huge number of human beings for which it must some day render an account. SISTER SCIENCES. Dr. Haviland has discovered a connection between geology and medicine. Each disease is found to have a special geological habitat. Take cancer, for instance. A " cancer map " has been drawn up, from which we discover that the whole of Wales and the north-west of England are comparatively free from it. "Coincident with this," says Dr. Haviland, "is thefact that theseparts of England and Wales belong geologi cally to the oldest formations, namely, the silurian and carboniferous, and physically include the highest and best-drained mountainous districts in the country." The cancer country is found in the regions of the tertiary or more recent formations. There is the Thames cancer-field, the East Yorkshire, South Derbyshire, and North Leicestershire. The haunts of cancer are proved to be " the sheltered and low-lying valleys traversed by fully-formed rivers, and having sites composed of the more recent geological formation—such as the crag and alluvium of the -Norfolk and Suffolk field, the clay of the Thames field, and the alluvium of the Lincolnshire and East Yori iiire groups." Heart disease, phthisis, and rheumatism are traced in a like manner. This theory of Dr. Haviland appears to be another way of attributing disease to atmo spheric influence, which is by no means a new theory. The unscientific people of the fens well understand tlp, t liver complaints, ague, and iniasmatic diseases arise from the condition of the atmosphere, and that such condition is generated by the alluvial deposits, though the term would be Greek to them. THE TURF. Many a favourite of the turf has seen as grca•,, vicissitudes as the favourites of a monarch. Messrs. Tattersall have just brought some of the horses of the late Marquis of Hastings to the hammer. Poor Lady Elizabeth, who fetched 6,500 guineas twelve' months ago, was taken by her trainer, John Day, at GOO. The Duke, a six-year old of the famous Stockwell breed, fetched 2,200 guineas. Messrs. graham, of the Yardley Stud Farm, bought him. The Marquis's hunters, the hacks, and carriage horses fetched some good prices. Would that "this strange eventful history" ended here. It is understood that the Day v. Rous trial must come on. "FATHER IGNATIIIS.W' For some as yet unexplained reason, Bishop Tait has withdrawn Mr. Lyne 's license as curate of St. Edmund's, Lombard-street, and he therefore writes to say that his intended course of Advent lectures will be given elsewhere. Probably, it will be found that Mr. Lyne was licensed in the first place on the condition that he would abandon his monastic schemes. That he has not abandoned them may be fathered from the fact that he has just accepted the gift of a monastery at St. Albans, and that he sig ns himself " f I gna tius, 0. S. 8., Sup." STRANGE FREAKS. The people of Islington have lately been alarmed by what appeared to be a very clever burglary and an attempted murder. A lad who was inthe house where it took place, and who told the strange story of having been awakened by burglars, of having roused his gra ndmother, taken a sword from her room, and, with that weapon ready in his hand, followed the burgl rto the lc Rehm, where he wasshotat,nowconfcsses that the whole tale was a fabrication. He himself fired the pistol. The Islington people, who were quaking with terror, are now greatly reassured. It is said that £2 had been given the lad to pay a bill, which he had failed to do. Perhaps a birch-rod might be useful here. A man has just escaped from Nottingham Borough Gaol. lle had been sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, and had only about a month to serve. He had better have been patient for the other month. If caught, he will, of course, serve a longer term. It is a singular instance of bad calculation, but it is to be presumed that this was the first chance of escape he had, i/ 111
