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., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 78. 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 .aro £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 oificeslast 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.

THOMAS ALLEN, Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On comparing 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. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

Under the the heading " Ministerial Tactics " a corm - - spondent of the Daily News gives an interesting sketch of what he thinks will be action of the Con servative party in Opposition. Having got Mr. Disraeli out of office—to the writer an easy matter —Mr. Gladstone's trouble will begin. He will find the subject of disestablishment and disendowment so large, that he will have to divide the measures into two parts—one enacting immediate disestablishment, gradual disendowment, and the appointment of a commission to receive the funds as they fall in ; the other defining the eventual appropriation of the money. He will then attempt to re-enact his tactics on the Reform question. But to this the Conservatives will demur, and will move that the whole of the measures to be considered be brought before the House. The correspondent of the Daily News thinks that here also Mr. Gladstone will have a majority; but not so pronounced as he would have supposing the question were moved on the Address. There will be another " Cave." It is, therefore, probable that Mr. Disraeli will rather resign before the kddress than allow a division to take place which is certain to be against him, and to shew the whole strength of the Liberal party. The argument of the correspondent is very plausible. It should, however, be added that a denial has already been given, "on authority," to the story as to a premature resignation. But, for that matter, what is not said " cn authority " new-a-days ? THE BALLOT. The impetus given io the Ballot during the recent elections must have astonished even its most ardent admirers. From all parts of the country the same tale of coercion and intimidation is heard, and the conversions to secret voting may be counted by scores. The Liberal papers seem determined to give publicity to every gross instance of undue influence, the effect being that many of the most influential members of the Liberal party, who have hitherto strongly opposed or only given a half hearted support to the Ballot, are now convinced that its adoption is absolutely necessary. At the contest in South Devon on Friday, Lord Courtenay, M.P., the eldest son of the Earl of Devon, took up his position in the polling-booth at Kingsbridge, where his father's tenants came to vote. His lowish ip was, however, compelled by the under-sheriff to leave. In another county—South Shropshire —a clergyman, finding that numbers of his parishioners had promised to vote for Mr. More, the Liberal candidate, went about telling them that they were going to vote for the Pope, for the Queen to be beheaded, and Pro testant clergymen to be burnt for their faith. A number of cottagers living in a village on the out skirts of Shrewsbury received a letter from their landlord " ordering " them to vote for Mr. Gore and Lord Newport, and deliberately threatening them that if they did not obey his mandate they would have to quit their cottages forthwith. The two defeated Liberal candidates for Southampton have issued addresses, in which they deliberately state that the main causes of their defeat were coercion and corruption, in proof of which they bring forward several instances. Again, the great difficulty which the Liberal party have had to con tend with in order to seat their men for counties is adduced as another instance why the Ballot should be taken up by the next Liberal Government, in order to counterbalance the tremendous influence now wielded by large landed proprietors. It is therefore suggested, that a memorial should be at once prepared and for.. warded to Mr. Gladstone by the Liberals of every town in England, setting forth the absolute necessity of the Ballot, and calling urgently upon him to direct his attention to the subject. It is believed that Mr. Gladstone would not be able to resist such an ap p ea l, And that he would follow the example of his present and his ex-" whips," Mr. Glyn and Mr. 3rand, in being converted to the justice of 51194 4 measure. SUSPICION. The correspondence between Lord Amberley and the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe in the Western Morning News is a specimen of a style which has become very fashionable lately. Lord Amberley beard that some of the earl's tenantry were afraid of voting against their . landlord's politics. Lord Amberley did no believe it, but he wrote to Lord Mount Edgcumbe to say it would give him great satisfaction to have the authority of the latter to contradict it. Lord Mount Edgcumbe answers that the noble lord is perfectly right in his surmise, that the report was not true, and that if his agents have threatened the tenants, they have made a most undue use of his name and authority. This sort of thing, now so common, is very much as if one gentleman suspected another of picking his pocket, but told him he would be perfectly satisfied with his denial of the charge. The analogy is so far imperfect, that landlords can hardly make up their minds as to the iniq uit y of intimi dation ; and though they t r ust each other not to tell lies ? they sus pect the " old Adam " of feudal allegiance is not altogether rooted out. WANTED, AN EXPLANATION. Mi.. Brand writes to the Times to say that on the day of the Cambridgeshire election he telegraphed to Wisbech, Mr. Young's stronghold, that the return of the latter gentleman should be secured at the ex-4 pence of his own. Letting alone the question of Mr. Brand's right thus to treat electors, it would be interesting to know how it was that a message despatched from Cambridge at two o'clock did not reach Wisbech till four. We leave the investigation to " those whom it may concern." DROGHEDA. A petition has been lodged by Sir F. M'ClintocTc against the return of Mr. Whitworth for Drogheda. The grounds for disputing the return are, inflamma tory speeches delivered by Mr. Whitworth in the streets, the hiring of mobs for intimidation, the exercise of spiritual influence, and actual violence by an armed mob on the day of election. If we are not very much mistaken, similar grounds for disputing the validity of an election exist on both sides in many cases. A case or two brought into court would do no harm, and might enlighten candidates and electors as to the rules of fair-fighting SPEAKING lIIS MIND. The combatants in the present election cannoi be accused of over fastidiousness in the choice of epithets to stigmatise the action of • opponents. Mr. Grenfell accused the Rector of Sefton of "forging circulars purporting to come from Liberal landlords. .Thig- on th..o fnce uf It.. i' AO-An : A nxerwTaant ~~~~~~~ ,-,--_,.,C,-. clergyman, ana the re'erend geritieintin has fotilitl - i1 necessary to call his solicitor's attention to it. At the same tune ho gives the probable Origin ia , f tht report. " Some Conservatives, I believe, had letter of mine printed on note paper and circulated among my pansilioners,. who are also tenants under Mr. Grenfell's Cousin, Lord Sefton. It was right that the members of the Church of England residinr , in the ten townships in the parish of . Sefton, of which I am rector, should know that I supported the Conserva tive candidates. I was not aware that these circulars were printed till I received one from Lancashire." Whatever this conduct may be, it does not 'amount to forgery. The recklessness of the charges made against political men during the last fortnight savours more of the eloquence of angry women than the utterances of men of the world. The enchantment . of the metamorphosis, happily, will soon be over. CONVOCATION. Dr. Vaughan, vicar of Doncaster, will not be a member of the next Convocation of the Province of York. Canon Hey, who, it seems, asked him to come forward, now writes to tell him he had better not. llis return would be opposed, and successfully. Dr. Vaughan answers him " more in sorrow than in anger." lie tells the canon he was far from being ambitions of a place in Convocation. He overcame a strong reluctance to be put in nomination on a former occasion, and he feels that no clergyman who thinks for himself will long find himself the renre sentative of any opinions but his own. Dr. Vaughan reminds the Canon that he has taken no public part on the Irish Church question, as he thought it wils " scarcely generous in a clergyman to take a promi nent place in urging forward, at a time of great public excitement, a measure which must involve many painful consequences to a body of fellow l clergymen towards whom he ought to feel nothing but sympathy and reverence." The doctor has full confidence in the justice and wisdom of Par.._ liament, and saw no reason in the late elec tion to withhold his vote from the party, he believes best understands the interests of the, country and the cause of social progress. He always thought it was the business of Convocation rather to discuss than to resolve, and that its constituentsl should encourage rather than preclude freedom of opinion and expression. Dr. Vaughan has refused a bishopric ; in some respects Dr. Vaughan is greater than many a bishop ; and if the State Church, mistakes such men for Jonahs, and throws them overboard, it may be found that the storm, noels louder, instead of subsiding. EPISCOPAL DISCRETION. A letter has been addressed to the Bislikiof London, Archbishop-Designate, with reference to the forthcoming meeting of the S. P. C. K. The writer points out that a proposal to rescind a money grant is irregular. As future president of the society, the Bishop is asked for his decision. His secretary simply writes to say that his lordship apprehends the question must be decided by the chairman of the meeting on December 8, when the Bishop will not be present. The future archbishop shewg considerable tact in thus dealing with a party question. He will find his new honour a source of considerable embarrassment, with plenty of parties and questions to compromise him. He is actually threatened by one section of the Church with excommunication for the first act of overt com munion with Dr. Colenso. FEENCH AND ENGLISH JUDGES. The Times compares the status of judges in England and France. With us they are chosen from the Bar ; with our neighbours the magistracy or judiciary constitutes a profession apart. One of the objections to the latter system is the power of promotion possessed by the Government ; another is that inferior men sit on the bench. In our own case the judges are generally the intellectual equals of the leaders of the Bar. On the other hand, the Trines thinks that the habit of advocacy will sometimes cling to a judge, and that some of the English judges have always shewn an instinctive andunconscious par tiality. The French judge has acquired a more impartial and penetrative mind. The Times holds that the balance is in our favour. Most people will think it is immensely so. Truth will be as well cared for in the custody of such a man as the Lord Chief Justice of England as it would in the care of a chairman of quarter sessions; and the intellectual efforts of the advocate in gathering up every thread of evidence, and discussing every favourable _pro bability or possibility in any case brought before him,- can be no bad education for the judge. POOR LAW REFORM. Some valuable and important suggestions as to the reform of the poor law were made in a paper by Dr. Richardson, read on Monday to the Social Science Association. proposed to divide the poor into two classes—the helpless and the able bodied—and to deal with these as distinct. Ile would not have the term " pauper " used. For the old, homeless, and helpless poor, he would ask neither more nor less than that they should have the same comforts, amusements, and attentions as the insane poor of our county asylums, without, of course, the same restraint of the insane. In dealing with the sick he would transfer them in every case to an hospital, under the manage ment of a complete medical and surgi cal staff, which hospital should replace the voluntary hospital, now, from mere humanity, a necessary evil, but under a proper administratimi of the poor law a necessary good. Ire would, more over, not have the children reproached for their position. They should go as others to the national school, mingle with other children, and compete with others. Thus the pauper feeling of dependence would be rooted out. Probably Dr. Richardson meant this picture rather as an ideal to be thought about than that the suggestions should be immediately adopted. BLACK SHEEP. The medical profession had better look to its honour. The committee of the St. Pancras Guar dians charge the indoor medical officers with causing an unnecessary number of inquests to be held, that they may increase their own fees. A charge is made against a particular officer that he certified seeing a woman die, and then admitted that he had not seen her at all, but had left the case in the hands of a young and unqualified assistant, who was supplied with blank certificates, with the signature of the medical officer, which he was allowed to fill up." A contemporary Suggests better pay. We would suggest better men as well. At the same time the matter is worth the attention of the Royal Collage. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. The honorary secretary of the License Amendment League writes to the Times upon the subject of a conference held to-day at the Langham Hotel, Lon don, for amending the beerhouse system. He regrets that it is not proposed to deal more widely with the subject. lie reminds us that the Government is pledged to bring i n a measure em b rac i ng th e w h o l e subject, and that the present Home Secretary has pronounced it useless to bring in a bill which did not deal with the whole question. Mr. Martin draws attention to all the abuses connected with the licensing system, the gin-palarves dancing saloons, &c., and says that a very moderate and practical scheme was drawn up at the Birmingham Congress this year, and an association is formed to carry it out. The statesman who will thoroughly cleanse this Augtean stable will be a Hercules indeed ; but herculean tasks are set before the statesmen of the present thy, and those who shrink from them must be content to fall to the rear. MODERN BRUTALITY. We find it stated :in a contemporary that the Performance of the drama of " Land Rats and Water Rats," at the Surrey Theatre, is every evening accompanied by the risk of life. A woman is bound and flung on to a railroad to be killed by a passing engine. This stage-engine would most assuredly kill the actress who enacts the heroine if by any chance the word " Go " was given too precipitately by the rescuing hero to the carpenters who manage the trick. If,the actor fails to drag the poor woman away in the very nick of time, if the woman faints and is too heavy to move, if the sign is mistaken, or the carpenters make the slightest mistake, a woman will most certainly be killed. Women and children go into hysterics and faint at the sensation. Human life, we know, is continually sacrificed to our wants and luxuries, but that a poor woman should have to earn her bread by putting her life in peril to satisfy a morbid and brutal passion for sensation is simply disgusting. We cannot but think that the public has never yet analysed this hideous craving for excitement, and the cruelty of which it is the parent, or shame and amendment would be the result. If playgoing society will not reform itself in this matter, amendment must come from those who have the guardianship of our safety and our morals. t TAXES AND CHARITY. A lady called the other day at St. George's hospital to pay her subscription, so that she might save the charity the expenses of colleAion. She was told, however, that the money could not be received with out passing through the hands of the collector, who claimed four per cent. The secretary laid the matter before the weekly board, who found that the laws of the hospital, which the governors are not in a position to alter, authorise this percentage. Charitable people will probably prefer to give to institutions which do not include their officers in their benevolence. The governors had better pay their collector a salary. It may be that he is not overpaid now; but the presont system, though it may encourage his zeal, has heavy correspoitding disadvantages. A DEPRESSED TRADE. Cotton statistics read rather unfavourably just now. At Preston the trade has been much depressed for some time. The total number of pairs of mules standing still at present is 196, and the aggregate number of spindles 201,622. Several employers contemplate running short time, and some stopping altogether. - Whether this is only indicative of a temporary depression, or of permanent injury to our staple manufacture, is a matter well worthy the attention of political economists.
