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 are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two °flimsiest absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i per cent, on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. THE OPENING OF PAULIAMENT AND THE NEW MINISTRY. The London correspondent of the Scotsman under stands that the Queen has intimated her intention to open the new Parliament in person, but it is probable that she will not read the speech, leaving it as before to the Lord Chancellor. Referring to the pro bable events of the next few weeks, the writer takes it for granted that Mr. Gladstone will be the new Premier, and ridicules the idea that Earl Granville will attempt to form an Administration. It is not improbable that the noble earl may be called to Windsor for counsel and advice; but there is no doubt of what his counsel will be. The only defi nite arrangement of the new Ministry is that Mr. Gladstone will lead the Commons as Prime Minister, and Lord Granville will resume his old post of President of the Council and leader of the Lords. But as to the rest there is much diversity and contradiction. It is, however, generally believed that Mr. Childers will be Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Forster Colonial Secretary, and the Duke of Argyll Secretary for India. Mr. Stansfeld is named as First Lord of the Admiralty, and Mr. Cardwell for the War Office, though this has been set down to Mr. Goschen's lot, instead of the Board of Trade. For the Foreign Office Lord Clarendon and Lord Kimberley are mentioned, with Mr. Gregory as Under-Secretary in the Commons. ' Mr. Lowe is put down as likely to fill either the Poor law Board or the Education Office. It is stated that there is no ground for the report that Lord homily will be Chancellor, and that Sir Roundell Palmer will, by succeeding him as Master of the Rolls, avail himself of the privilege of keeping his seat in Parlia ment, The writer thinks that in one way or other there will be a shuffling of the judicial cards, partly to find the ex-Attorney-General a seat on the Equity Bench and release him from the House of Commons, and partly to give Sir Robert Collier a judgeship, and then leave the Attorney and Solicitor-General ships open for Mr. Coleridge and Mr. Vernon Harcourt. TUE ILESITLT. The elections are now virtually over. When Orkney and Shetland and the Scotch Universi ties have made their choice, the House will be complete. As it stands, the Liberals have, according to the Times, made a net gain of fifteen votes, counting thirty in a division. Of the new House, it is worth notice that it contains over 200 new members, who never sat before, and that there are about a score to add, who, though sitting in former Parliaments were shut out from the last. England has not given a very large Liberal majority, the numbers standing 246 to 213 ; but Scotland has returned only seven Conservatives, thus very decisively increasing the majority. Ireland also has, by a proportion of 60 to 39, declared in favour of Mr. Gladstone. The Ministerial papers at first began to gloat over the large towns i but it has been shewn very conclusively that, exc ept in Lan cashire, the large towns have proclaimed in favour of the Liberals. In the English counties, however, the Tories have returned 131 members against the 50 of their opponents. The defeat of certain well-known directors of joint-stock companies has already been noted ; and the almost total absence of the Independe n t Lib era l element has been co mmented upon. Th ere i s left , behind a very fair g . House, and one which contradict, very plainly the marmists who prophesied every bad thing for the Reformed PAsliament. It is not, as the Pall Mall Gazette says, " calculated to inspire anyone with much enthusiasm." But what untried body of men would be P AFTERWARDS. Even after the elections' aro over the bitter ness on each side seems in many cases to remain. In the Tower Hamlets, for instance, Mr. Beales seems to be " hoping against hope" that " something may turn up " to invalidatti the election. His supporters , have learnt that many voters were prevented from polling, some because they had not their right number given to them : others because the poll-clerks told them that by mistake their names were not on the register. Those who had been can vassino- on the other side, and two of Mr. Samuda's apprentices, acted as poll-clerks. Mr. Beales com plained bitterly of his defeat. He told a meeting of his ',supporters, in a very roundabout way, that the Government had officially done all it could to prevent his being returned. "He had heard it stated by a gentleman that one of the police told him that one of that body had orders from headquarters—from the Government, in fact—to do the best they could to prevent his being returned." Mr. Roebuck, too, must have a parting fling at his late constituents. He writes rather snappishly to a gentleman who had informed him that at a working men's meeting his toast had been enthusiastically , received. Nhougl sledarine ohQuld _alwasalokuron THE WEST KENT CLERGYMEN. The clergymen of West Kent seem to have got very much excited at the elections. Several cases of clerical influence in the county have been mad e public, and there is a strong suspicion that there are more behind. But the Daily News records one way of using a church which seems to us slightly indecent. On Sunday the wife of the vicar appeared there decked in the Tory colours—orange and purple. The maids of the vicarage were similarly adorned, and the menservants and ',the parish clerk wore orange and purple rosettes. On the following day, Monday, an anniversary festival was kept in the church. On this occasion, Mr. Talbot, the successful Tory candidate, appeared, wearing a very large orange an d purple rosette, leading in Mrs. Woodhouse, • again adorned with the Tory colours, as on the pr ev i ous d ay, and several members of the choir wore the party rosettes. If the church is used for party purposes by those who assert most strenuously its national character, how will the mass of the people regard it as national? A DISIIOP ON THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. It would be next to impossible for the Bishop of Oxford to address an unsympathetic audience. At a recent meeting of the Mechanics' Institution at Slough, he expressed his confidence in the future of his country, amidst the applause of his hearers. He told them that great political power was given to every class in the land, and reminded them that unless the masses of the people were leavened by Christian principle they would be unfitted for the trust. He said: " Our Constitution is going to be exposed to great strains. I trust it will bear the strain, and that we may come out a greater, a richer, and more pros perous people than we have ever been yet; but if we do there must be union in the people, for if not there cannot be strength." The meeting was held in aid of the erection of a new church, and the Bishop com plained that the poor were often met with the dis heartening message that there was no room for theni in. the House of God. To leave the great masses of the people outside the parish church was to create a. disunion of classes and to lay the foundation of after misery and dissensions which cannot be healed by any secondary considerations whatever. lie con cluded: " Socially as well as religiously, and poli tically as well as socially, in every parish that is in the condition of this parish, growing like a young giant, and flinging out fresh articulation, as these human habitations around us are, it is important that there should be a Church which does not exclude the poor, but welcomes them." Dr. Wilber force has ever desired that his Church should be the Church of the poor, with no narrow borders or limited aims, and now age has not dimmed his vision. THE FUNCTIONS OF ARCHDEACONS. The tale is told sometimes of Lord Palmerston, and sometimes of Bishop Blomfield, that, when asked what an archdeacon was, he replied, " One who performs archidiacanal functions." The definition given by the Lord Chief Justice in the Court of Queen's Bench the other day was, " It seem that the chief functions of the archdeacons are to scold the clergy." Archdeacon Allen, of Salop, now writes to a contemporary to define the duties : " Recent legislation (7 and 8 Vic., c. 69, s. 6) has given special powers to archdeacons. Arch-- deacons should examine candidates for holy orders (14 Carol. 11., c. 4, s. 2). It is the archdeacons' work to see that the fabrics of our churches are kept in repair. The archdeacons should consider the answers sent to the articles of inquiry yearly issued by them to each parish." We are painfully reminded by this that the existence of duties does not always guarantee the performance of them. HONOUR TO 'WHOM HONOUR IS DUE. The Rock discusses the reasons of the Conserva tive triumph in Lancashire. These include the wretched conduct of Papists, the good example of Lord Derby, the preaching of Stowell and M'Neile, the circulation of the Rock, and, lastly, the exertions of Murphy. Our contemporary says : " Ungrateful and unseemly would it be on this occasion to pass over in silence the name of Mr. Murphy, to whom the Protestant victory of Lancashire, we are bound to acknowledge, owes much." This is nice company for the Earl of Derby and the Dean of Ripon, and they can hardly upbraid Mr. Gladstone for finding himself sometimes in strange company. CHILDREN'S REVIVALS. In the Monthly Magazine Mr. Spurgeon notices the criticisms upon the children's services in his Tabernacle. He does not consider himself responsible for them. He did not take any part in them, did not invite Mr. Hammond, and was not even pre sent on one. occasion. He says : "We cannot refuse to lend our vast building to good men without acting the part of the dog in the manger ; and, at the same time, we are not prepared to be praised or blamed for all which may be done by persons to whom we so lend it." As to the services, Mr. Spurgeon says : "We cannot at this moment say more, personally, as to the services, than that they have evidently been a blessing to our school ; and that, with much that is not at all to our taste, there was the true ring of fervent love to Christ in them, and we intend to wait and watch results. As to frightening or terrifying the children, nothing of the sort was attempted or accomplished ; such remarks chew a want of information." With all this, Mr Spurgeon declines any responsibility in the matter. Were a clergyman of the Church of England to take this ground if the services at his church had been criticised, we know that he would have to shift it. If the Tabernacle is only a large hall, to be devoted to any purpose not absolutely pernicious, then it may be that Mr. Spurgeon is right. He does not deny any of the leading features of the services as hitherto reported ; and we still think the conductors of such services are strangely ignorant of the organisation send training of children. HONOURS AT OXFORD. The undergraduates of Oxford are making a cry just now about the treachery of examiners, who allow themselves to be " drawn out." Thus it is generally known that this man was a good first, the other a bad second, and his friend the best third, while it is actually true that rumours get about as to which class a man has got before the list comes out. The love of power which is given to the possessor of secrets, though chiefly a feminine weakness, is not unknown to the other sex, and it must be sore temptation to an examiner to be able to confide what some men are dying to know. THE MERCANTILE MARINE. Mr. Harry Leach, of the hospital ship Dread nought, having noticed a letter in the Times from Mr. Hall, of Newcastle, on the subject of the demand and supply of British sailors, writes to that paper to draw attention to the neglect of sanitary arrange ments for the health of the sailors. When a ship starts on a voyage good care is taken to have a supply of spare spars, sails, and ropes 3; but spare men cannot be taken, and so, unless proper attention be paid to the sustenta tion of crews and to the preservation of skilled hands, no number of training ships will be able to find sufficient material or manufacture enough sailors to supply the increasing wants of our mercantile marine. The. Merchant Shipping Act of last year is a step in the right direction, and the beneficial results will appear six or eight months hence. There still remains, however, a strange apathy amongst ship owners on the subject of diet and health. Varied provisions of good quality can bo procured at as cheap a rate as salt beef or pork, and every captain can take a sound and healthy crew with him by the means provided by the Legislature. Mr. Leach thinks that attention to these matters is in the interests of sound commercial economy. There are many higher reasons than these, reasons which should never appeal to humanity in vain. Our jolly, generous Jack Tar of the stage type is too often represented by a wretched creature, distorted in body and mind—a prematurely old man through hardship, and a cunning villain, in spite of the traditions of fiction. THE MONTH. The month just past has been, like its predesessor, one after the meteorologist's own heart. There have been earthquakes, frightening quiet people out of their mind. But earthquakes have been " nuts "to the confraternity which watches the heavens and the earth. The stars have been going off like popguns, and thereat the typical " ignorant rustic " has trem bled. But the gentlemen of the telescope have rejoiced with great joy. The volcanoes have threatened to swal low up great towns. But then it has added another piece of evidence to the theory about subterranean waves. More than this, accour.ts have been coming in day by day of the eclipse which the native Indian saw, and wasn't pleased with; and at the end of die month came the announcement that two scientific explorers had succeeded in construct ing instruments through which certain phenomena which had only as yet been seen during eclipses, might be perceived on ordinary occasions. Alto gether we have to congratulate the meteorologists. November—Mr. Alnatt, the Times correspondent, m ildly. The temperature informs us—opened very was above the average. But then a cold seas on set in, bringing with it increased mortality. O r as Mr. Alnatt has it, the " sudden acces sion of premature frigidity produced a tempo rary increase of human mortality." On the 6th the temperature became as low as 34 deg., and on the 7th as 23 deg. After some unimportant fluctua tions, it rose again on the 22nd, and varied com paratively to the end of the month.
