Tho 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 now assurances are £14,596 is. 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 officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

The Reform B,ill that was to have brought abotO something like a revolution has returned a Parlia ment eminently safe and respectable. There are none of those extraordinary specimens of popular repre sentatives who were elected in 1832 to scandalise the Peers and to frighten old ladies. There is no working man, no member of the Reform League even, much less any prizefighter. The Cabinet seems to be partaking of the same character as the House, and the Daily News finds it necessary to caution Mr. Gladstone against giving away any more chief posts to the Whig noblesse. Says our contemporary : We trust that the seats which still remain vacant in Mr. Gladstone's Administration will be filled by politicians who will save the Cabinet from the danger of being little more than a re-embodiment of the old principle of aristocratic exclusiveness and ascen dency. It will not do to bring the fact of Whig oligarchy into contrast with even the phrase of Tory I , democracy." PIZOMOTED IN SPITE OF HIMSELF. In the Court of Common Pleas the other day. Mr. Justice Keating addressed Mr. Coleridge ts Mr. Solicitor-General. Mr. Coleridge promptly replied, "Oh ! no, my lord. lam not Solicitor-General ; nor shall I be if I have anything to say to the matter." It was assumed at the time that it was impossible to make a man Solicitor-General in spite of himself. Yet such a thing has actually been done, and we can only commiserate with Mr. Coleridge upon his hard lot. LORD CHANCELLOR CAIRNS. Lord Cairns, in presiding over the Court of Chan cery for the last time, had to dispose of a notable case 7 —the celebrated Bovill's patent. This case has been litigated for many years. Mr. Bovill, the brother of the Chief Justice of Common Pleas, several years ago invented and patented machinery for improving the grinding of flour. This patent has been infringed by a large number of millers, and Mr. Bovill has brought actions to maintain his rights. He has won his suits in the lower courts, and the millers thereupon formed themselves into an association for appealing to the higher. This appeal has just been heard, and ex-Lord Chancellor Cairns •said that the association had failed to prove prior user ; the appeal must therefore be dismissed with costs. At the same time, he said that he could not terminate his sitting there without expressing his thanks to the bar for the very cordial and able assistance he had received from them, not only since he had presided in that court, but also during the period when he had the honour to fill the office of Lord Justice. Thus after nine months termi nated, at all events for the present, the official career of One of the ablest judges who ever presided over the courts at Lincoln's-inn. THE NEWEST CONSERVATIVE MEASURE. We pointed out some time ago that there were signs and tokens of the Conservatives taking up the question of the ballot. These indications are increas ing. " A Bristol Conservative " writes that "it was literally unsafe to life and limb, not merely to vote for Miles, but even to have a scrap of blue visible upon one's person ; and that Conservative voters did not poll after ten o'clock from a conviction, not so much of the hopelessness as of the recklessness of doing so. There fore," he adds, " we may, without fear of any charge of an abandonment of our principles, declare in favour of the ballot." Unfortunately for the advo cates of the ballot, it is only the Conservatives in towns who are prepared to support it. The clergy and the squirearchy would oppose it the uttermost, for with it they would never have won the counties as they have done at the late elections. ELECTION PETITIONS. The number of election petitions is rapidly increas ing. We have already mentioned that Mr. Wyld has petitioned against the return of Mr. Gower for Bodmin, Mr. Tillett against that of Sir H. Stracey for Norwich, Sir L. lll‘Clintock against that of Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda, and that Mr. Smith, the Liberal M. P. for Stockport, will have to stand an ivestigation. To these we.havo to add the names of four Conservative M.P.'s, whose election for Liberal boroughs took the Liberal party by surprise. These are Messrs. Fowler and Eastwick for Falmouth, and Messrs. Charley and Cawley for Salford. THE LAST OF THE ELECTIONS. The Scotch universities decline to follow the example of the Irish university ; they object to be temporary resting-places for Conservative lawyers on their way to promotion. During the last Parlia ment Dublin University changed its representatives nearly half a dozen times. Glasgow and Aberdeen had been asked to accept a Conservative Lord Advocate in esse ; but while he was undergoing his election he ceased to hold office, and his opponent, the Liberal Lord-Advocate in posse, was named as his successor: The result is that Mr. Moncreiff has beaten Mr. Gordon, a very able man, by forty-seven votes, after a very close run, in which both candidates polled over 2,000 votes. It is a remarkable fact that the Scotch will never elect a law officer of a Conservative Government. The outgoing Solicitor-General for Scot'and, Mr. Millar, has never yet entered Parliament ; Mr. Gordon sat for Thetford ; Lord Justice Clerk Patton sat for a short time for Bridgwater ; and Lord President Inglis represented Stamford. With Mr. Moncreiff's election the new House of Commons is complete. It has taken exactly three weeks to elect, the first member having been chosen on November IG, and the last on December 7. The defeat of Mr. Gordon acids another to the list of leading Conservative lawyers who have been un horsed in the electoral tournament. The English kttomey-General and Solicitor-General, the Scotch Lord-Advocate, Mr. llnddlestone, Mr. Gorst, Mr. Garth, and Mr. E. K. Karslalie are among the slain. Aro Yew 'Lao t,4 couagvgive hplicho 'ate ~ ~ • crowiea • with legal luinihaties of the first order, while the Liberal benches were in that respect woefully deficient. Since then the number of the first who have been promoted out of the House is legion, and the small remainder, as we have seen, have been overthrown at the elec tions. At the present moment it is the Liberal benches that are crowded, and there are at least half a dozen men who have a right to expect office. These are Sir R. Collier, Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Denman, who have already obtained a parlia mentary celebrity, and Mr. Vernon Harcourt and Mr. Jessel, whose reputation precedes them. A STRONG ARGUMENT. The process of "bottling " has attained to the dignity of a science during the recent elections. The evidence taken in the mse of the Bolton election riots revealed the s t e p s a d op t e d b y some enthusiastic pohtLcians to nfia-e a convert. A man w as dr:nhing with sonic Liberals at a hotel, and when he got into then dreet . Ys senses left hi m , an d a f ter a time 1 16 oud Imuself in a mill. A numi , er of Irishmen surreunded him, and eNecting to his leaving, they took the precaution of knocking him down upon some h:iy. They then brought somerain in a gill -pt, held his hands, and poured it down his throat. Ile was not allowed to leave the building until he had promised to vote for the Lib era l can did ate, and two or three men escorted him to the booth. Other evidence of a similar kind was given, one witness stating that rum was poured down his throat to such an extent that his voice had been injured ever since, while another said he was knocked down in the street as lin was on his way home, and carried into the mill. The much-desired peascssion of the franchise has in some cases proved anything but a boon, and the malt who, according to a comic contemporary, had a vote for the first time during sixty years, and announced his intention of " keening it." was wise in his way_ 44 SOFT REBUKES IN BLESSINGS ENDED." 01 A Rev. Dr. Moss has been drinking tea at a Con servative meeting at Christchurch. He made a speech, and in the course of it remarked that he had lately been to town on business, and passing the Reform Club, saw there an illuminated legend. II was " God save the Queen." He again looked and saw another "illumi na ti on ," "Gl a d stone and Bright? The reverend gentleman was much moved thereat. and his heart was hot within him." He said to him-: self, " God save the Queen when she has got into such company. She requires to be saved, because I am quite sure she is in danger. I want you all to go home to-night, and pray' God save the Queen.' And I may say God save Bright 'and Gladstone, because I believe they are running into much danger. I have such an affection for them that lam quite ready to say, God save John Bright and William Ewart Glad stone." Doctor Moss isevidently under theimpression that these statesmen are going down a very broad road, and are anxious to take her Majesty for company. As a loyal subject, his first thought is for the Queen ; as a Christian, he next prays for these wicked men. rather than give them a kick to accelerate them. We can well imagine the scene at the tea-fight : the women under nervous emotion, generated partly by a hot room, partly by strong tea, and partly by the doctor's oratory, shedding sympathetic tears ; the Conservative working men listening with open mouth and eyes of horror. To complete the picture, we can imagine the rev, gentleman taking refuge behind his pocket-handkerchief, not to weep, but to repress a choking tendency to burst out into laughter. AN EX - MINISTER, ON THE NATAL DIFFICULTY. The Duke of Buckingham appears to have been supported by his under-secretary in resisting the consecration of Mr. Macrorie. Mr. Adderley writes to the Times—on the eve of the S. P. C. K. meeting —protesting against the proposed grant. The letter is very strongly worded, and if it had appeared before the elections, the clergy would scarcely have worked so hard for the late Government as they did work, Mr. Adderley says : "It is the special folly of certain Churchmen to suppose that Convocation, or any body they may institute among themselves, has any legal authority or power beyond their own internal relations. Dr. Colenso is de facto Bishop of Natal. His letters patent remain uncancelled, and no valid decision has been judicially given either against his doctrine or authority. For the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge to grant out funds entrusted to it for that purpose to enable a rival bishop to exercise episcopal functions within an unoccupied see is either to ignore and usurp authority, or to treat Christian knowledge as synonymous with schism." He adds that under whatever name Mr. Macrorie may disguise himself, it is his intention to trespass episcopally on the occu pied see of Natal, and that if this is to be done at all it had better be done openly, for " the mask will not even hide, still less exc use , the violence d one t o C ons titutional authority an d Church principles, nor mitigate the injury caused to the permanent interests of the Christian religion. The condition of the Church in Natal is deplorable, but its wounds will not be healed by precipitate remedies -of violence to its very life. authorities, Church committees, and hostile congregations are not the best means of arriving at a condemnation and extirpation of heresy." TIIE EPISCOPATE. The Bishop of Salisbury is seriously out of health, and has to lie by for a time. Dr. Hamilton is CO years old, quite a juvenile, in fact, as bishops go. The two westernmost bishops, Exeter, and B a th an d Wells, are to all int en t s and purposes non-existent. The second is 69, the first 91 years of age. The Bishop of Winchester, who is in his 79th year, has so far recovered from the dangerous illness which he suffered a few months ago that it is expected he will be able to resume his confirmation tours. The Bishopric of the Mauritius does not appear to have been filled up yet, although it was stated that the Duke of Buckingham would nominate to it before resigning office. Perhaps the ex-Colonial Secretary could not find any clergyman willing to undertake:the supervision of that fever-stricken diocese. The Bishop of Dunedin, according to the Church I?evielo,' has actually embarked for his diocese, after lingering in England for nearly three years. We shall not believe that he has gone out to his see until we hear news of his arrival there. The Rev. W. K. Macrorie leaves by the Cape mail_ steamer Briton; unconsecrated, however; the Duke of Buckingham's Fabian "policy having prevailed. Mr. Macrorie goes to Capetown in expectation of being consecrated by the bishop of that capital, and is accompanied by the new Dean of Capetown, Mr. Alder. Dr. Claughton, Bishop of Colombo, in Ceylon (brother of the Bishop of Rochester), is on his way to England, and will sho r tly b e added to the list of " the colonial episcopate resident here in England." A HUMAN DEN. A shocking state of things has been revealed at a late inquest in St. Pancras. A jury investigated the cause of the death of a woman, who was parted from her husband. This man allowed her ls. Gd. per week, and she lived with her father, a cripple, who Was allowed 2s. Gd. per week and a loaf of bread. His rent amounted to 2s. 3d. The woman was visited by the district medical officer, who ordered her half a pound of meat a day. He recommended her to go to the workhouse, but she had the usual antipathy to such a course, and declined. She pre ferred to die at home. And so she did die, in a filthy room, with no one to nurse her. Th e me di ca l o ffi cer ' visited the woman continually, but he said it was scarcely possible to enter the room in consequence of its filthy and disgusting state ; on sending the sani tary inspector he stated that he would rather go into three sewers than into the room. From the first the case was hopeless. The jury found a verdict of " Death from bronchitis, accelerated by want of proper nursing and cleanliness." The coroner thought it a great pity there was no power to take such persons off to the workhouse, and a juryman said such a state of things was a great shame. These comments by coroners and their juries are getting very tiresome. They are true enough, even trite ; but no one attends to them. It seems hard that paupers should not be allowed to die at home, but it is manifestly against all social laws that such a case as this should be allowed while we have hospitals and workhouses. It would seem that we are to have the poor always with us, not only as objects of charity, but as a perpetual disgrace to our civilisation. FREEMASONS. It has hitherto been supposed that the proceedings of Freemasonry were altogether a secret, and that the members were forbidden to divulge them. Many a wife has sighed in vain to know something of the mysterious orgies which had such fascination for her husband, and of which she could learn no more than that there was excellent eating and drinking. Some . one, whether a traitor in the camp or a spy, we cannot say, has drawn up the curtain. The other day a con temporary contained a circumstantial account of the opening of a lodge atLeeds. The Freemasons appear to be advanced Ritualists. There was consecration of corn and wino and oil, marching round the room with censers, singing of odes, and turning to the East. Now we have the account of another ceremony at Sheffield, but the details ate comparatively meagre, We are told of anthems and an oration. The inevit able"sumptuous repast, with the usual l o y a l an d masonic toasts'' is not forgotten. Is it possible that the Eleusynian mysteries are at last revealed to the vulgar, and that the Freemason in future is to be nothing More than a man who cab. and drinks and sings, as other good fellows do ? LUGGAGE. 2imid travellers may take comfort, and need no longer surround the luggage-vans of the trains, appealing to the porters for "my luggage," and in dicating the same by excited flourishes of sharp. pointed sticks and umbrellas at the risk of their fellow-travellers' sight. The judge of the North Staffordshire County Court has just decided that a railway company is responsible for luggage, whether properly addressed or not. He held that it was their duty, either by a uniform system of labelling, or by sonie other effectual way, to guard again* the Pciok", latV2Laiio : 4ll_ •
