Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 135. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30Tit JUNE, 1868.

THOMAS ALLEN . / j - Auditors. 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 ou new assurances are £14,596 is. 9d., azd of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. _ _ _ The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden ti.nl 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 pri miums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of menagowent are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. L'ut 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 s+. per cent. on the total income._ _ LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present dispositionof the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies.

Yet even there our sympathy with that candidate as a repre sentative man who was being distinctly used by being unmistakeably snubbed, was soon enough "set aside by himself, as a feeling quite uncalled for, by reason of the spleen evidenced by himself and his " entourage" in making way for Sir HENRY HOARE as the second Liberal candidate, now the second Liberal representative of the new metropo litan borough of Chelsea. So, too, has it been with those other forlorn proteOes of Mr. MlLL—the rest of the working men's candidates—every one of whom, like Mr. Mtn himself, has been refused admittance into the House of Commons by the popular consti tuency each appealed to. The electors' manner of rejection in regard to each has been rather after the fashion of " Much obliged, but we would rather not." Your genuine working man has about as much chance, apparently, of being returned to serve in Parliament as that " poor chap in a sleeved waistcoat," Dr. MARIGOLD, the Cheap-Jack, ever bad of finding himself some fine morning transformed on the public market place into he political Dear Jack, vaunting his wares not on the board of a cart, but on the boards of a hustings. Even the humbler class of electors, those nearly upon level with Mr. Lowfa and Mr. BRIGHT'S dreaded " residuum," appear to have no hesi tation whatever—not an instant's—in still pre ferring an educated gentleman. Evidence of this is shown by the lists (upon both sides) of the various candidates. Scarcely a tradesman is there on either catalogue. Each has a sprinkling of ma nufacturers. But the majority, with each, mainly consists of Etonians, Rugbians, University men of Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, or London, Barristers and Country Gentlemen, officers in the army, or men of mark from one or other of the learned professions. All which is significant enough of the fact that if this last Reform Bill was, in truth, as Lord DERBY called it, a leap in the dark, it was a leap of no very formidable character, and one that has landed us, now that we have taken it, upon ground as solid and as familiar as that upon which we were standing but yesterday.

Buckstone, White, Weathersby, &c.; Mesdames Bateman, Francis,Wright, MaccabA, Fitzwilliam, Laws, Coleman, dc. And HIS FIRST CHAMPAGNE : Messrs. Compton . Kendal, dr,c. Commence at 7. YOUNG Oxford has not fared so well at the elec tions as we could wish. Mr. GOSCHEN has indeed retained his position at the head of the poll in the City; Mr. MORRISON his seat at Plymouth; Mr. GRANT DUFF his at Elgin ; and Mr. BUTLER-JOHN STONE his at Canterbury, albeit he has deeply angered his former supporters by refusing to follow Mr. DISRAELI. But among the new candidates belonging to this party there has been almost unalleviated defeat. Perhaps the most gallant fight in the whole country, and one which Oxonians watched with the greatest interest, was that which Mr. GEORGE BRODRICE waged against the Duke of MARLBOROUGH in his pocket borough of Woodstock. It was indeed a close run, far closer than could be satisfactory to the PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL, for at the close of the poll Mr. BRODRICK was only twenty-two votes behind the ducal nominee, whom he may, perhaps, yet succeed in unseating on the ground of undue influence. At the adjacent borough of Abingdon another Balliol man and first-class classic, Mr. GODFREY LUSHINGTON, made a less close run with Lord OVERSTONE'S son in-law, and was beaten by 396 votes to 324. Mr. ROUNDELL is another of the young University Liberals, who, it is said, has made one of the ablest speeches during the elections, and who vainly tried to unseat Mr. ASSHETON at Clitheroe. Sir GEORGE YOUNG was equally unsuccessful in unseating Mr. GOLDNEY at Chippenham. Mr. THOMAS BRASSEY, we believe, reckons himself among the illuminati, and he alone has succeeded. We fear Young Oxford is still before the age. It must educate the constituencies by its writings before it can secure their votes. THERE were no two politicians who were so often asked to give characters to new candidates as Mr. MILL and Mr. BRIGHT. Mr. MILL was profuse in his recur-- '-" BRADLAUGH, CREMER, HOWELL, RAWSON, CHADWICK, and FAWCETT. Only one of these, Mr. FAWCETT, has been elected ; he, indeed, did not require a character, yet even he has won by a very narrow majority. But all the other candidates whom Mr. MILL recom mended either withdrew without going to the poll, or were defeated by majorities large in every case except that of Mr. RAWSON, at Salford, while as a climax Mr. MILL himself is not elected. Mr. BRIGHT was far more cautious, but even his indi rect and oblique recommendations have proved of little avail. For instance, Mr. ERNEST JONES has been defeated at Manchester, and Mr. COSSHAM at Dews bury. On the other hand, he has the satisfaction of seeing his brother returned for Manchester, and one brother-in-law (Mr. LEATHAM) at Huddersfield, and another (Mr. M'LAREN) at Edinburgh. It must somewhat mar the satisfaction which these elections cause him, that he himself was only third on the poll. This is one of the most remarkable incidents of the election, and was probably due to the efforts which were made to prevent any votes being thrown away for him at the expense of the other Liberal candidates. COOL !—A few evenings ago a charming incident occurred suggestive . of how the roughs of London ought to be dealt with. The scene was the neigh bourhood of Theobald's-road. The time about 10.30 p.m. A young gentleman, whose name we are tempted to give, for he really deserves it—in age about 21, slight in proportions, but in stature a trifle over six feet—is suddenly confronted by two hulk ing fellows fully his own height, but of broader build, men seemingly (judging from their dress) in the position of life of navvies, one of whom turns spokesman, with—" I'll trouble you, Governor, for the time?" Whereupon our young friend, holding out his gold watch to them in his left hand, but—immediately over it—with his righ t presenting towards them the muzzle of a six-shooter revolver, replies with the utmost nonchalance, " I'm rather short-sighted ; look for yourselves !" Navvies—in stanter—skedaddle. The incident we have here re lated is a literal fact, and one but of yesterday's oc currence. It is worthy, as we conceive, of being thus recorded, 'and—when occasion may require— of being emulated by those who are cool hands enough for such adventure. For, the truth of the matter is; Sir Richard Mayne and his policemen leave us very much to ourselves. Prince Arthur, having lately received a commis sion in the Royal Artillery, is now getting some of his military training in Woolwich garrison in field artillery service, and the arrangements mentioned above will afford him an opportunity of gaining practical instruction. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty: —Captain C. C. Forsyth, to the Dauntless, %ice Captain Von Donop, whose period of service has expired ; Lieutenaut Thomas Rans botham to the Crocodile ; Dr. Thos. A. O'Flaherty, assistant surgeon, to Plymouth Hospital ; and John N. Stone, assistant surgeon, to the Excellent. The undermentioned have been nominated naval cadets : —Bulstrode Whitelocke Cumberlege and Fredk. Rigaud Gransmore. FOUNDERING OF TILE SHIP GLASJIADEN.—Yes terday intelligence was received in Liverpool of the total loss of the ship Glasmadeu. The news comes by telegraph, and is dated Akyab, Nov. 10. It states that on the morning of th 3 10th the ship G 1 ismaden foundered at her anchors off Akyab, and that only the chief and second officers and 14 of the crew were saved. The captain and the remainder of the crew are supposed to have gone down with the ill-fated ship. The cause of the disaster was not mentioned in the telegram.

And of these-129 are Ministerialists, and 247 Opposi tionists. Showing that—as yet—the advantage ac corded to the Liberals by the appeal to the country is one giving them a clear majority upon that num ber over the Conservatives of 118 altogether. But theo, these for the most part are the results of the borough elections. There be "pippins and cheese" to come yet for the Government, in the shape of the counties. And even here in regard to the borough elections, there can be no doubt of it that much may be said on both sides in the way of exultation. The Gladitonians have wrested a great number of seats from their antagonists. The Disraelites, on the other hand, have signalized their success in a remarkable manner by ousting some of the most im portant of the Liberal candidates and by replacing them with staunch Conservatives as representatives of first-class constituencies. In the City of London, Mr. BELL has been returned in place of Baron ROTHS CHILD. In the City of Westininiter, Mr. &MEM, of the Strand, 1113 112413,1 the poll even in the teeth of all the great Marq , iis's influence, and more than that, has driven i fJrth ignominiously, as a ntrpo, riz.iarhnA ant riqt asti•lP +174- champion of the most advanced opinions, Mr. JOHN STUART MlLL,!the Positive, the very Positive, Puilosap'aer. Manchester hasreturne.d --at the bottom of the poll Mr. 'Loon BE:LOUT, the brother of the member for Birmingham ; at the top of the inn M.. BIRLEY, an out-and-out Constitutionalist. Liver pool, out of its three members, has returned two Conservatives. Bewdley, in selecting its one mein ber, has in Sir R. GLASS chosen a follower of Mr. DISRAELI in preference to a disciple of Mr. GLAD STONE. Bolton and Boston have each yielded a gain of one seat to the Government. Chester, in the per son of Mr. RAIKES, has accorded a Tory e)lle,ague to the Liberal Earl GROSVENOR. Coventry has done the like by linking Mr. STAVELEY HILL to Mr. EATON, thereby coupling a resolute Liberal with an equally resolute Conservative. Malmesbury is a clear gain of one seat to the Government. Sc also, for that matter, is Norwich, and so, too, Nottingham. A Tory replaces a Whig at Pembroke. at Ports mouth, and at Preston. And so on, and so on. The list might be lengthened out to very respectable dimensions. Only, there is a catalogue of losses to the Government of a far lengthier charac ter. Numerically the losses of the Ministry are more considerable. But only numerically. The import ance of the seats won to the Opposition, is in no pro portion to the importance of those secured to the Government candidates. But, counting heads, or noses as the odd phrase is, the advantage is, be yond much doubt, with our own side, with the Liberal Opposition. It will be advisable, however, before any distinct calculations are adven tured upon, as to the actual results of the General Election, to wait until the General Election is really over. A very few days, a very few hours, so to speak, and the roll of the new Parliament will be filled up. We can afford to wait patiently for this brief interval, satisfied already that the country has spoken with no uncertain voice. Glancing down the lists of the accepted and re;e tel I candidates, we grieve to recognize several old familiar names among the latter—names of men who will Le sorely missed upon the reassembling; of the New House of Commons on the 10th of December. A veteran reformer like Mr. ROEBUCK, we sincerely re gret to observe among the rejected. And, if the Cabinet has the chagrin of noticing that a seat has been refused to both the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General, the chiefs of the Opposition will very seriously miss the presence among them of the Right. Hon. T. MILNER GIBSON. Al for Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE'S rejection by Nottingham it is simply bewildering. It appears to have taken every one, himself included, by surprise. And he accept?_ his failure with such delightful good-humour that we more than ever hope a seat may be opportunely found for him somewhere else. The House of Commons will miss kim. He must by hook or by crook be returned to it 80M3130V9 ; and whenever he is so returned, his coming back to his old haunts down at Westminster, will be matter, we sincerely believe, for very general satis faction. It is deeply to be regretted that the working men's candidates have made so sorry an exhibition of them salves upon the oc:asion of this first appeal to the enlarged constituencies. Of Mr. BRADLA.UOII it would be satisfactory to know that we should never hear again. Mr. ODGER, we still conceive, was rather badly used by the three referees whose deci- LAW .11VT COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. WASON V. WALTER-LIBEL. This was an action brought by Mr. Rugby Wason against the defendant, the proprietor of the Times, for libel. A rule had been obtained by the plaintiff for a new trial, and this morning the Attorney-General entered into an argument for its discharge. The case will occupy the entire day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TORRINGTON V. LOWE. The Court this morning gave its decision in this case, in which Lord Torrington soght to be relieved from the liability of certain shares which he believed he had disposed of to a responsible person. The Court held that his lordship was liable with regard to the shares, as no priority of contract:had been shown by the counsel for his lordship, that the contract made with Cotton was in fact with Lowe, and that he was not at liberty to disclose the name of an indirect principal.' THE NEW PARLIAMENT. The following are the members returned up to L time of making up this list. The asterisk before a candidate's name means that he was not a member of the last Parliament ; a dagger before theename signi fies that the member represented a different con stituency in the last House of Commons.

THE BRAZILS. Rio DE JANEIRO, Oct. 23. Advices have been received from the seat of war to the 10th instant. On arriving at Villeta the Allies found the Paraguayans fortified in a very strong position, where the natural ,defences of miles of swamps, thick woods, and a deep river, whose waters form a far more effective barrier than any which the skill of military engi neers could construct. These difficulties preclude the possibility of an attack from the south ; but as the ironclads have passed beyond the batteries erected on the river side, it is supposed that the Marquis of Caxias will divide the forces under his command, and send an army of 16,000 men over to the Chaco, whence they will march up the right bank of the river Paraguay, and recross near As sumption, to attack Lopez from that quarter, at the same time that a force is to be sent to march round the swamps, and thus hem in the Paraguayans on every side. This course would immediately bring the war to a close; but it is found that before these measures can be taken they will have retired to occupy some other position for a few days, perhaps Villa Rica or Serra Leon in the interior. At Villeta there was some hard fighting between the advance guard of the Brizilian army and some Paraguayan troops, who were defending a bridge across a small river and a redoubt. Both, however, were taken, and the Paraguayans forced to retreat, leaving their colours and a quantity of arms; the Brazilians suffered severely, as they fell into an ambuscade and received a tremendous volley at a very short range, which threw one of the infantry corps into such confusion that they turned, and were fallen upon by cavalry before they could rally. A court-martial was held upon the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding, who was acquitted, but the corps has since been dissolved, and the officers and men dis tributed among the other battalions of infantry. The Gold bonds of the New Loan have, as was expected, gone up rapidly, and are eagerly bought up at 73 mil reis premium, only 225 mil reis having been as yet paid up.

In last week's Tablet we read—ln addition to Mr. and Mrs. Pye, the daughter of the Bishop ° E Oxford, we have to record the reception into th e Church of Captain Pye, which took place in Staf• fordshire on Sunday last. On Monday, Mr. J. g' Bellew, with his wife and family, made their sub• mission to the Church. Mr. Pye, in leaving th e Anglican communion, was called upon to give UP 5 stall in the Cathedral of Lichfield and a rich fatal living. Mr. Bellew also has had to resign the in• cumbency of one of the London churches, the valu e of which is estimated at £l,OOO a-year. In th e literary world Mr. Bellew has earned a high an d well-merited reputation as one of the most acconr plished and telling public readers of the day. In the course of one month during the present year 104 persons were received into the Church i 0 London alone. In the Tablet for the present week we find, in fur ther illustration of the above, the following : " We have to record the reception into the Church of a Protestant community in Market Harboroughl Leicestershire. Four pious ladies, devoting them selves to the education of a number of orphan gid e after having carefully examined their religious dif ficulties, were received into the Church by the Rev' F. Buckler, U.P. The brother of one of thee° ladies, Mr. Douglas, a clergyman of the Church of England, hastened to remonstrate with them on the step they had taken ; but, upon further examina tion of their motives, he ended by taking the step himself. He has now entered the English College at Bruges. The ladies offered to send home th e fourteen orphans under their charge ; but thei r guardians and relatives declined to receive them,' expressing their pe r f ec t sa ti s f ac ti on t h at t h ey s hout' be brought up in the faith of their teachers' Nothing can be less desirable than the circulation of doubtful reports ; but it is right that we shoul d mention the more notable conversions which tags place from time to time, not in any unworthy spirit of triumph, and far less in order to indic t pain or annoyance on those who conscientious l y reject the Catholic religion. We do so for a di e " tinct purpose —as an example of disinterested ad' herence to the dictates of conscience, and an an encouragement to those numerous persons who are actually on the threshold of the Catholic Chure b ' The domestic and social persecution which 10 0 : converts have to suffer, is a subjtct of constant sorrow and sympathy. We gladly, however, rende r this justice to the larger portion of the Loudo n Press, and to the higher walks of public life, by saying that they neither ostracize nor brand W I/ for their conscientious convictions." Mr, Wallis, ex• Editor of " the Tablet'° A proposition has been made to present to g r ; Wallis, the late proprietor of the Tablet, some kin' of substantial token of the respect and esteem il l which he is held by his numerous friends. Havi n g become by bona fide purchase the sole and indepetv dent proprietor of the Tablet, there is nothing t ° restrain us from rendering our free and disiat e ' rested testimony to the services of Mr. Wallis, no r is there any surviving relation in Mr. Wallis to t lle . tablet which should prevent his accepting it A oar hands. Mr. Wallis has always shown an unswerviog fidelity to the Holy See; he was among the first t ° defend the doctrine of the Temporal Power, wh erl there were few among us who had then 1 05 ' tered its true import and necessity. He has fro the first moment he entered upon the editorsblP of the Tablet borne fearlessly before the people of this country his testimony to the doctrines of th e Catholic Church. lie has never for a moment ta' pered with heresy on the one hand ; and, on th e other hand, he has never pou re d ou t v enom al l ' bitterness upon souls that were groping after the truth, and endeavourin g t o conso l e th e mselves I LI the delusion that th e i r commun i on f orme d part 0f the Church of God. Nor are these titles to 01-1 ' gratitude surprising in one of Mr. Wallis's antece dents. The circumstances which led to his couile e ' tion with the t ablet may not now be fresh in th e memory of our readers; we shall, therefore, briefli recall them. When Mr. Lucas passed away from his labour e ' there seemed to be no one left capable of t he. post which he had created in the Catholic j o urnalist of the country. Mr. Wallis w as th en i n t h e pr ime °f life ; a lengthened course of legal studies had bee ° completed; he had been called to the bar, and 1 09 actually following circuit with equals who are now et t• joying thehigh honoursof their profession. His read!' ness of speech and command of language, the kee n ' ness of his per ce pti on an d a we ll - d evelope d legal wh ich mind, laid befo re hi m th e prom i se o f a future would have been enough to fascinate a calmer eye than his. But there are turns in the path of life which no man can foresee, and so it happened Vi ri tti Mr. ,Wallis. His friends came around him, suggest ing to him another course. They felt that if he d e ' voted those talents, which were already beginning to attract attention, to the cause of Catholic par' nalism, a great service might be rendered to the Catholics of this country, and a great loss, in part at least, supplied. Nor was it only t he personal friends of Mr. Wallis who pressed 1 1 0 ° him the adoption of this new career, but 01 also who had the Ch urc h' s i nterest mos t heart approved the choice and encouraged hid to embark upon it. Mr. W a lli s was Dot Catholic to close his eyes to the great interests ° his Church, nor to place his own personal and 2 1.0 ' fessional aims before the claims of religion. Nev er ; theless, slowly and reluctantly he gave way hef or , 3 the opinion of his friends, and determined to lea/ the profession of his choice for the hazardous il n; dertaking of a weekly j o ur na l. I n thi s h e h as sPeP the best years of his lif e , an d so f ar as those great prizes which the legal profes s ion o ff ers t o its lowers are concerned, Mr. Wallis's chances are gone. His chances are gone, and the T a bl e t h as boell ° o equivalent for the sacrifices he has made. We do not intend to enter upon any appreciatil of the political line which has characterized 1 Wallis's career as a journalist, nor to pass sent ec upon the ecclesiastic a l p o li cy w hi c h h as mar k e d the latter years of the T a bl e t. W e f ee l t h at, i n spite 0 whatever divergencies we may recogn i se in the' f d from the path which we have traced out for cut selves, Mr. Wallis is entitled to any public recl - 0 nition of his ser v ic es w hi c h hi s f r i ends may decide on giving him. Wh a t ever errors i n j udgmen t 1 111, Wallis may ha v e comm i tte d— an d who i s not liabl e to err?—they h ave not b een comm i tted on t he side of subserviency to genera l op i n i on, or i n t h e intere'e of his own paper ; for he must have been well a vr3 bo that by the ad vocac y o f hi s own pecu li ar views . forfeited much support which he might most ea hi 4 have retained, and alienated man y w h o h a d be° s l " friends. Whatever his concl us io ns , th e y wer- A ways honestly formed and expressed, and ae le d parried with an expositi on o f suc h reasons as 1,-id him to adopt them. es in We shall therefore be happy, so f ar as it l, es our province to do so, t o f ur th er t h a propcs l . , b , ~0 which Mr. Wallis's frien Is ha ve ma l e , and to sti scribe to any testimonial which it may be thou" fit to present. --'Tablet.
