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 £16,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. por cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended iu 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 eluding- 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.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. TUE PROGRESS OF DEMOCRACY. Democracy seems to be "advancing bacliwaras? The Reform Bill that was to have brought abort 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 tle 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-embodiir.ent of the old principle of aristocratic exclusiveness and ascen dency. It will not do to bring the fact of Whig oligarchy into conetast - tritlres'en the phrase of Tory democracy ." PROMOTED IN SPITE OF lII3fSELF. In the Court of Common Pler,s the other day. Mr. Justice lieating addressed Mr. Coleridge as Mr. Solicitor-General. Mr. Coleridge promptly replied, "Oh ! no, my lord. lam not Solicitor-General ; nor shall I be if I have anything tot 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—the celebrated ovill'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 terjninate 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. M'Clintock against that of Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda, and that Mr. Smith, the Liberal M. P. for Stoc pkort, will have to stand an ivestigation. To tkese we have 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 Eastwiek for Falmouth, and Messrs. Charley and Cawley for Salford. VIE LAST OP 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 id 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 clime run, iu 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 Scotland, 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 Preside nt In g lis 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 10, and the last on December 7. The defeat of Mr. Gordon adds another to the list of leading Conservative lawyers who have been un horsed in the electoral tournament. The English kttorney-General and Solicitor-General, the Scotch Lord-Advocate, Mr. Huddlestone, Mr. Gorst, Mr. Garth, and Mr. E. K. Karslake are among the slain. nue() yens KO tho Conservative benches wero The process of " bottling " has attained to the dignity of a science during the recent elections. The evidence taken in the case of the Bolton election riots revealed the steps adopted by some enthusiastic politicians to make a convert. A man was drinking with some Liberals at a hotel, and when lie got into the street his senses left; him, end after a time he found himself in a mill. A number of Irishmen surrounded him, and objecting to his leaving, they took the precauti on o f k nocking him down upon - some hay. They then brought soinerum in a gill-pot, held his hands, and poured it down his tfiroat. lie was not allowed to leave the building until he had promised to vote for the Liberal candidate, 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 ho was on his way home, and carried into the mill. The much-desired possession of the franchise has in some cases proved anything but a boon, and the man 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. ‘ 4 SOFT REBUKES IN BLESSINGS ENDED." 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 "illumination," "Gladstone 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 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 thatlam quite ready to say, God save John Bright and William Ewart Glad stone." Doctor Moss is evidently under theimpression that these statesmen are going down avery 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 hie pocket-handkerchief, not to weep, but to repress a choking tendency to burst out into laughter. AN ES-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 io 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 excuse, the violence clone to Constitutional authority and Church principles, nor mitigate the injury caused to the permanent interests cf 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. Rival 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 Bath and Wells, are to all intents 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 _Review, 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 shortly be added to the list of " the colonial episcopate resident here in England." A lIIIMAN 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 vas parted front her husband. This man allowed her Is. 6d. per week, and she lived with her father, a cripple, who was allowed 2s. ed. 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. The medical officer 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 at Leeds. The Freemasons appear to be advanced Ritualists. There was consecration of corn And wine and oil, marching round the room with cengAys, singing of odes, and turning to the East. N ow we have the account of another ceremony at ;_,;.t the details are comparatively meag r e. WSheefliale. e told of anthems and an oration. The inevit able " sumptuouts repast, with the usual loyal and masonic toasts" is nob Forgotten. Is it possible that the Elcusynian mysteries are at last revealed to the vulgar, and that the Freeiht: son in future is to be nothing more than a man who .pats and drinks and sings, as other 'good fellows do ?‘ LUGGAGE. .amid 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 ome other effectual way, to guard against the possi- EtV izZ,mistAk9o.
