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 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 cont. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Du. LIABILITIES.

The Administration of Mr. Gladstone will be remarkable for two appointments which a few years ago would have been impossible. It is credibly reported that Mr. Justice O'Hagan is to be Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He will be the first Roman Catholic who has filled the office, and such an appoint ment could not have been made until the recent enactment. Mr. Bright will be the Presi dent of the Board of Trade. The man who does not attend the Speaker's levees because he objects to the costume, will henceforth be a Cabinet Minister, and wear the plush. During the Administration of Lord Palmerston it was understood that Mr. Cobden might have been in office had he wished. Mr. Bright never had the chance. The idea of Mr. Bright in office would have been received with general ridicule. Things have rapidly changed since then; and these significant facts mark the com mencement of a new era. A STRANGE RUMOUR. The Advertiser gives currency to an extraordinary report. Our contemporary states that it comes from a 'source which is rarely at fault in its infor mation. We cannot believe it, for all that. It is that Mr. Gladstone is coming to a compromise on the Irish Church question, and that he had his several interviews at the end of last week with Sir Roundell Palmer relative to the latter's acceptance of the Lord Chancellorship. It is further affirmed that in virtue of the understanding come to between Mr. Gladstone and Sir Roundell Palmer, the possession of the Great Seal by Sir William Page Wood will be only provisional, and that before long Sir Roundell will be the occupant of the woolsack. It would be a strange course for Mr. Gladstone : with an enormous majority at his back, to compromise his policy to secure the assistance of one man, however eminent. But even if he had thought it worth his while, and had really done so, what difficulty could there be in Sir Roundell taking the woolsack at once ? A POWERFUL ELEMENT. A contemporary states that although the general election has excluded several railway directors from the House of Commons, the losses are nearly balanced by the election of other members more or less con nected with the railway interest. The total number of directors in the new house is 116. This is enormous, and anyone who has studied the element of parliamentary power and tactics will well understand that any measure attacking the railway interest as opposed to the interest of the community at large will have but a small chance. It would seem as if the fearful loss of human life and gross mismanagement of shareholders' in terests had been forgotten; for, while candidates have passed through examinations so severe that they would frighten a candidate for the Civil Service, as far as we can gather from election reports, these directors have slipped into the Paradise of the House of Commons, with their sins entirely forgiven, and without any promise of repentance. THE ICONOCLAST. That estimable man Mr. Bradlaugh, whose ill luck cost the women of England so many tears, has not been satisfied with this tribute, but actually laid claim to the support of a clergyman of the Church of England. The Conservative agent writes to deny this. He knew each individual of the clerical body attached to the Church service in the town, and could from such general knowledge and partial acquaintanceship have at once denied the accuracy of Mr. 13radlaugh's statement, but for better assurance he referred to the register, and can therefore state authoritatively that there is no record of a vote of that kind. We daresay Mr. Bradlaugh thinks a clerical vote would give a little wholesome leaven to his character as a blasphemer ; but though the clergy have done some extraordinary things, it was hardly likely that one should be found with sufficient temerity for this. AN ORANGE PLOT. The Rev, Philip Haim, whose name the election or 1868 has made somewhat celebrated, has been accusing the Wigan police of belonging to the Orange Society. The magistrates examined the police upon the matter. The chief constable, and twenty-five members of the force included in the accusation, were brought before the magistrates. Mr. Haim refused to give the quarter from whence he obtained his information, and the police were ques tioned. The result was that one of them was found to be an Orangeman now, and another had been twenty-five years ago. All the rest denied any connection with the society. Mr. Rains was not satisfied, as the constables were not on oath. This was rather a high-handed tone on Mr. llains's part, He came forward as the vehicle of an anonymous slander, and required a denial on oath. The chief constable offered to accede to this, but the general feeling was against the reverend gentleman, and he withdrew his request. WINDSOR TYRANNY. Colonel Richardson Gardner's agent writes to the Telegraph to deny the alleged cases of tyranny in connection with the recent election. It will be remembered that several tenants, all of them Liberals, signed a complaint, which was published in that paper. The agent states that there have only been five notices served to quit. The reasons were : " Two for abusive language, two for non payment of rent considerably in arrear, and one because the house was the one best suited for a work ing man's institute, which Colonel Gardner is about to establish. Neither Isaac Talbot nor William Eden have paid one shilling rent to Colonel Gardner since he purchased the houses they live in ; the former owing a quarter due last Michaelmas, and Eden six teen weeks. The request to pay up arrears was a general one, and not confined to those who voted for Mr. Eykyn—a step (which all agents will con firm) occasionally requisite in large collections of the kind." The agent adds, in a P.S., that Colonel Gardner has never permitted him to distrain. We must offer our sympathy with the Colonel upon the unfortunate coincidences in the case. lie takes harsh measures for the first time precisely at the period of the election ; all the tenants thus treated are Liberals, and he turns out two for what he calls abusive language, but which was probably only the usual excited election talk. Could anything be more unfortunate for the reputa tion of the Colonel as an impartial landlord ? A POLITICAL MOVEMENT. "An Elector of Lancashire" evidently thought that the next best thing to ejecting Mr. W. E. Gladstone from his native county was to upset his brother Robertson out of his waggonette. He rushed from a Tory stronghold in the shape of a public house, and, fortified by the Tory courage of an over dose of liquor, he made this gallant charge on behalf of the Irish Church. Mr. Gladstone and his friend got out of the carriage and held it on the other side. The aggressor took to his heels, with Mr. Gladstone after him, but the latter gentleman was not equal to the pace, and the enemy took shelter in another hostelry. Mr. Gladstone summoned him, but as Smith sober apologised for Smith drunk, Mr. Glad stone forgave the defendant himself and induced the magistrate also to do so. Thus ended one of the last of a series of gallant but probably ineffectual actions in defence of the Irish Establishment. MADAME RACHEL. If the trial and conviction of Madame Rachel has proved an edifying m orse l f or th e l overs o f gossip and scandal, the beautifyer of antique charms will be served up again for the benefit of the lawyers. The Attorney-General has granted his fiat for a writ of error, and the jurisdic tion of Commissioner Kerr is questioned. As the Sheriff's Court has ceased to exist, there was at the time of the trial no " judge of the Sheriff's Court of the City of London." It is true that according to one theory of the question the judges sitting in the separate courts of the Old Bailey are understood legally to be sitting together, and, if so, Madame Rachel will be held to have been tried by the Recorder as well as the commissioner. This point has, however, to be argued, and will be sufficiently interesting, especially as the result will affect numbers of other cases. A verdict in favour of Madame Rachel would be attended with the most awkward results, but " Ruat ocelum, fiat justitia " is the motto of English law. The Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford (Dr. Payne Smith) has addressed a letter to Dr. Ilolleston, in which he denies as utterly untrue a statement to the effect that in choosing the select preachers for the University the Divinity professors were actuated by theological bias in not voting for the Arch bishop-designate of Canterbury. The Margaret Professor joins with Dr. Smith in repu diating the charge. The latter says : " Could we have supposed that his grace would have accepted the nomination, we should most cordially have sup ported it. In my opinion, it was scarcely even respectful to nominate him without having pre viously obtained his permission." The choice this year was made difficult by the proctors having drawn up in concert a list of five persons. Dr. Smith further states : "Among those Proposed by these members of the board werethe Bishop of Chester the Professor of Divinity in the University of Durham t and the Regius Professor of Modern History in Oxford. But besides dignitaries and men of established eminence, it has been usual to appoint one or more of the resident tutors and younger mem bers of Convocation. No such name was on th e proctors' list, and up on thi s pr i nc i ple, and not upon any supposed theological bias, our votes ultimately turned. I may add, that th oug h we cordially approve of and contributed our votes to the formation of,the present list, as also did the proctors to the appoint ment of the Bishop of Chester, yet it contains only one person originally suggested by the Professors of Divinity." RELIGION GONE MAD. A band of religious enthusiasts have been parading the streets of Peckham singing the hymn " Com e t o God " to the tune of " Tommy Dodd. The musical efforts of street missionaries are generally very extraordinary and lugubrious performances, but it is rather a graceless act to treat any religious demon stration with a sneer. There are, however, limits to decency and to Christian forbearance. This rollicking tune of " Tommy Dodd " is the signal in the music-halls for the stamping of feet, the chinking of glasses, and the roaring of all the noisiest cads in the place. If a body of men savagely drunk parade the streets in the " witching hour," they incontinently break out into " Tommy Dodd" as an appropriate hymn to Diana. The men who can find a similarity of sentiment between a wretched bacchanalian ditty and an outbreak of reli gious enthusiasm do, perhaps, even worse than those who make the enemies of God blaspheme. They monopolise the blasphemy themselves. Let us be fair. The street missionaries, perhaps, act up to their lights. One Sunday previous to the elections political sermons were preached at St. Nicholas, Guildford, and at both morning and even ing services the song entitled " Our dear old Church of England " was sung. The congregations were astonished, and some of them tore up the printed slip on which it was written. The National Anthem, with its pugnacious condemnation of foreign politics, has hitherto been the nearest approach to a patriotic ditty in our churches. A hymn-book edited by the late Mr. Dibdin could hardly be more absurd than this last clerical freak. COLLEGE EXPogaES. A strange case is reported from Cambridge. A. member of St. Catherine's College has been rusticated for three years. It arose thus : In the course of the long vacation Mr. Moore and another member of the college had a dispute while dining at : the gentleman named was struck by the other. The tutor in .residence, Mr. Spratt, on having the matter reported to him, ordered Mr. Moore not to dine again in hall until he had received the master's decision upon the matter. Leave was given him to call upon the master, who was then staying at Norwich. He thereupon called on the master, who, after hearing his statement, exonerated him from blame, and requested him to let the matter drop. In October Mr. Moore was gated by the tutor for the quarrel referred to. Mr. Moore referred to the master, who said his decision was not given in .an official capacity, and suggested that Mr. Moore should apologise. This gentleman has published a correspondence on the subject, and for this he has been rusticated for three years. We . wonder if any personal feeling towards Dr. liobin son has entered into the settlement of this affair. TEE RAJAH OF SARAWAK. It appears from the letter of a correspondent of the Times, that the deceased Captain Brooke, though closely connected at one time with the government of Sarawak, had ceased to participate actively in it for some years. He was not the Rajah. The late Sir James was succeeded by his nephew, the present Rajah, Charles Johnson Brooke, late of the Royal Navy, and brother to the deceased Captain Brooke. This gentleman was in good health, according to the latest advices from Sarawak. AWFUL WRECK. Yesterday morning the steamship Hibernia foun dered off the Irish coast. The captain landed at Wick with three boats, containing eighty-one pas sengers, and a missing boat, with thirty-three persons on board, was seen to go down. Ii:.TEOI 0 0w CAL INSTLIMIENTF. Mr. Allnatt notices the general complaint that instruments for successful astronomical observaticns are too expensive for the devotees of science. The set comprises (for general use) a barometer, thermo meter, hygrometer, rain-gauge, anemometer, and an ozone cage. For these, when got up with common care and tolerable finish, and attested, the charge is enormous. lle has in hand at the present time a project for a combined set of all the required instruments (except the wind and rain gauge), mounted on a solid mahogany frame, which shall exhibit at a glance all the existing physical elemental conditions. The exact cost he cannot state, but it will not be much more than the present charge of a single barometer. FOREIGN NOTES. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The Washington correspondent of the New York Thus says that neither the Government nor Mr. Reverdy Johnson has assumed any different attitude on the Alabama question. The demands of America remain the same as those made under Mr. Adams. "No basis of settlement has been, or will be agreed to, which does not involve the concession by England that her recognition of the belligerency of the Southern Confederacy was an unlawful act, and that she is pecuniarily responsible as a consequence." How is it, then, that the New York Times and the other American papers published, and apparently accepted, the proposition to refer the primary question to the King of Prussia? And how can there be any arbitra- tion when one party is expected to concede all that the other demands? There is, however, much reason to believe that the American Government will not adopt the extraordinary policy sketched out by this writer. His letter appears in the New York Times of the 19th ult. On the 25th the same journal reports that the Government is satisfied with Mr. Johnson's official conduct with regard to the settlement of the Alabama claims, andis gratified at Lord Stanley's concession respecting the place at which the commission shall sit. AMERICA. The Americans have of late been requesting the world, and especially England, to rejoice with them on account of their Chinese Treaty, the object of which is confessedly to monopolise the entire trade of the Celestial Empire. The Muscovites, at least, do not see it. The Czar means to prevent this monopoly, and is projecting the stupendous work of a railway from China, through central Asia, to the capital of Russia. He has sent two civil engineers to the United States for the purpose of examining the opera tions of the Pacific and other great railroads in America. We are not informed when the advisers of the Czar expect to finish this undertaking. The distance from Pekin to St. Petersburg is one-fourth the circumference of the globe. SATURDAY'S PANIC. The Stock Exchange never made a greater blunder than on Saturday,when it permitted itself to be influenced by re ports of the Emperor Napoleon's death , and of an outbreak at Paris. The ill-advised press prosecutions have caused great ferment throughout France for some time past, but during the last day or two the capital has been quieter. There has been nothing like an outbreak, nor any demonstration, except a ridiculous display of force by the authorities themselves on Thursday. The panic seems to have been brought about by some considerable sales of foreign Mocks. THE ULTIMATUM OF TURKEY. The aspect of the Eastern question is all in favour of the Porte for the time being. The warlike preparations in Roumania have been suspended, at least temporarily, and the Ministry has been changed. The intrigues of Prince Charles and his advisers had become a scandal to the whole of Europe. The Prussian Government, which was supposed to foster these schemes, un reservedly denounced them ; this initiative was supported by Lord Stanley and other diplomatists; and, finally, Roumania had to yield to the pressure. Greece is now the object of European reproof. The Greeks have long entertained the notion of founding a Hellenic Empire, and have unceasingly conspired against the Porte with this object. At last the Sultan has sent his ultimatum. As Turkey would have taken this course long ago but for the influence of the Great Powers, the change of policy indicated by our telegram is most important. INDIA. The interview between Sir John Lawrence and Shere Ali has not taken place. The Affghan ruler found it impossible to leave his territory with safety. The continued want of rain deepens the gloom of the reports from the Punjab and the North-western and Central Provinces. The prospects of the crops become more and more unfavourable. From the districts actually assailed by famine there is nothing but the same cheerless story of drought, starvation, and death, The crops in Bengal promise wet'
