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 5 1 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

At a public meeting at Wandsworth last month he spoke of the rumours in Frome, that the leaders of the Conservative party in the borough had applied for Mr. Bennett's support, had apologised to him, and had subscribed towards the completion of the parish church, for the purpose of inducing him to support their candidate. It was known that the High Church party in the borough stood aloof from the Conservatives until Mr. Bennett published a letter containing a pledge from Serj cant Sleigh that ho would resist any interference by the Legislature with the Church of England. Mr. Bennett and the High Churchmen then voted for the serjeant. Mr. Bennett has written to Mr. Hughes to deny emphati cally the tale as to the apology or the subscription, and Mr. Hughes has had no alternative but to express his regret. It would indeed have been strange if those who were the most active promoters of the proceedings against Mr. Bennett should have " caved in " to Ouch an extent as rumour stated. THE LATE ELECTION FOR DUMFRIESSHIRE. A Scotch contemporary states that it is not impos sible that although Sir Sydney Waterlow resigned all connection with his firm . long before the time required by law, the late election may be found invalid. It appears that there was some informality in the mode of procedure which may be found tech nically to invalidate the withdrawal. . The whole matter is not even. a mere technicality,. it is an accident about a technicality. Under the circum stances, however, it is not supposed that the Conser vatives will oppose Sir Sydney's re-election, it being unusual to raise a new contest on an opportunity of such a merely formal kind. The unlucky contractor has arrived in Dumfries, and circulars have been issued to the electors informing them of the possi bility of the election being found invalid, and re questing them to sign a form promising, in that event to support Sir Sydney. " SIC VOS NON VODIS." It is not surprising that the Reform League are dissatisfied with the result of the elections. This dissatisfaction was very strongly manifested at the. annual meeting of the League just held. Mr. Beales declared that " in every case where a working man, and in almost every case where any person supposed to represent the views or interests of the working classes became a candidate, there was a com bination of Tory and anti-Liberal influences, of wealthy corruptionists and landlord and employer coercionists, to defeat such candidate, by tampering with, obstructing, and intimidating the voters; and for want of the ballot, - the combination, however unprincipled, wasgenerallysuccessful." To these causes Mr. Beaks attributed his own defeat at the Tower Hamlets. In short, the bees had been making honey, the birds building nests, the oxen pl oug hi ng , an d a ll for the benefit of others. However, Mr. Beales, M.A., finds some gleams of light in the darkness. The Ballot never had so many supporters as it has now; and has not the Reform Bill, which the demo lition of Hyde Park railings brought about, itself demolished the Tory Government ? MR. BRIGHT ON THE DEFENCE. It appears that on the declaration of the poll at Liverpool Mr. Turner made some charges against Mr. Bright which have drawn a long letter from that gentleman. Mr. Turner was reported to have said on that occasion that Mr. Bright had declared an Englishman in Ireland an alien, and that he ought not to possess property there. Mr. Bright has challenged Mr. Turner upon the point, and he takes refuge behind the Standard. The Pre sident of the Board of Trade tells him i n the first place that the report is incorrect, and denies all the charges circumstantially. The right hon. gentleman is very angry, and gives Mr. Turner a wholesome lecture. Mr. Bright has been in the presence of Majesty, and was found quite tame and harmless. He even kissed the Queen's hand, and she will in future take his advice in Council. Many an ardent politician has not hesitated at various times to hint at the prompt execution of Mr. Bright as an act of sound policy. Now that he is the President of tho Board of Trade it will be as well to discontinue such nonsense. The right hon. gentleman has written to Mr. Henry Ibbetson, of Sheffield, to state the pleasure he derives from his friends' approval of his conduct. He joined the Administration with extreme reluctance, but the pressure put upon him was more than he could withstand. THE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR. The Post discusses the disadvantages attending a change of Chancellors, as instanced in the loss the Court of Chancery will sustain in Lord Cairns. Our contemporary proposes a permanent Lord Chief Justice of Chancery, and a separate Chancellor who should have all the other prerogatives of the Great Seal except a seat in the Court of Chancery. The expenses of the present system are considered. Between the years 1834 and 1867, £465,000 has been paid to ex-Chancellors for pensions. Besides this, £350,000 has been paid in the shape of the Chancellors' salaries during the last thirty-five years. This seems a heavy sum. It secures us a Court of Appeal in the House of Lords; but that a young man of Lord Cairns's great ability should have no more__active scone for his ~~ ~ talents and energies than the benihes of the Lords, is a great misfortune to the interests of the country. TILE WAR OFFICE. There are to be great changes in our military system. The Ordnance Select Committee is to be abolished, root and branch. There is to be a supreme head, with the title of Director-General of Ordnance and Commandant of the Royal Arsenal. This appointment is already made, and the heads of departments in the arsenal- are already ordered to report to him. Ile will have an office at the War Department, where he will have an Assistant or Deputy Assistant Director-General of Ordnance permanently established. lie assumes the functions of the late Director of Ordnance, and of the late president of the Select Committee, in addition to his new duties as commandant of the arsenal. He will have the rank of major-general, and his deputy will be a colonel. Some of the members of the Ordnance Select Committee will return to their duties in the army. Two Assistant Directors of Ordnance will be appointed, officers of the rank of captain, and will be employed at Wool wich in work hitherto performed by the Select Committee. When any proposition of more than ordinary importance comes before the notice of the Director-General, a sub-committee will be assembled composed of men having special knowledge, and will examine and report upon the matters referred to its discussion. The Standard looks upon the matter as a genuine coup d'etat, and hints that economy in this case may have to be purchased at the risk of effi ciency. Perhaps Parliament will have something to say in the matter. /~ THE SPEAKER AND THE SHERIFF. The row between Mr. Denison and Mr. Taylor, High Sheriff of Notts, culminates in an oxtraor, dinary manner. The under-sheriff writes to the Speaker. The latter declines to answer him, hilt acknowledges the letter to the high sheriff. The under-sheriff then acknowledges Mr. Denison's letter by direction of the high sheriff, and declines any further correspondence with that high dignitary. AU this is very edifying. MR. SAMUEL MORLEY AND THE LIBERATION, 'SOCIETY. . • Mr. Samuel Morley has withdrawn from the Liberation Society. In doing so he says that he thoroughly sympathises with the association in its " endeavours to indoctrinate the public mind with sound. views as to the true and separate functions of the Church and the State, to uphold the spiritual nature of the Church of Christ, - and promote and 'stimulate the growth of a public opinion which renders inev:table great changes in the relation of civil government to the religious communities of the country." But while desiring to see the churches " disentangled from their inju rious associations with the State," he cannot accept the third part of the society's - programme—the secularisation of all national property held - in trust by the churches. Mr. Morley adds that on this account he has been compelled to disclaim sympathy with the association, and thus has rendered himself open to the charge of inconsistency. In entering Parliament he is " constrained to regard questions of religious liberty and equality, not from a limited, or a denominational standpoint, but in connection with a national policy and the widest interest of the commonwealth." The work now to be accomplished is to disestablish and disendow the Irish Church. But he has no wish to see a similar scheme for the Church of England. Ile adds : is my conviction that changes are impending, but they will come from within, rather than from without— from the awakened intelligence and conviction of those whose religious life will no longer bear restraint and hindrance, and who will demand changes benefi cial to themselves and to the nation. It was so in the great disruption of the Church of Scotland ; it is so in reference to the Church of Ireland." He points cut that the advocates of Establishments themselves desire the cessation of that in Ireland, and to prematurely force on .other changes would retard the progress of truth and right, which ,is dearer th n any increase of Dissent. Mr. Carvell Williams replies to this letter. Not only does he accept Mr. Morley'th resignation with regret, but he thinks it unnecessary. He denies most strongly that the Liberation Society has a denominational standpoint, or that it has any scheme for the disestablishment of the English Church. The society's policy is that which it has been during all the years that Mr. Morley has - supported - ita—the policy of religious equality, to be enforced whenever any suitable occasion arises. Mr. Williams does not believe that it would be wise to wait for the esta blished churches to reform themselves from within, and he attributes the improved tone of the public mind on the matter to the efforts of the society which Mr. Morley now finds it necessary to leava. PATRIOTISM REWARDED. The reverse of the motto "No song, no supper "• has just received a striking illustration. The Record announces that the Duke of Buckingham has recom mended the Rev. Thomas Goodwin Hatchard, rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford, and rural dean, to be the Bishop of Mauritius, and that her Majesty the Queen has graciously sanctioned his Grace's well-advised " recommendation. The broken vase retains the scent of roses, and the broken Ministry its characteristics. It will be remembered that it was at the Church of St. Nicholas, Guildford, where "Our dear old Church of England " was sung during the services on a Sunday. The rector has good reason, it appears, for his laudation of that institution. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Dr. Ryan, now Archdeacon of Suffolk. Mi. Hatchard was ordained priest in 1841 by the Bishop of Win chester. His present preferment is worth £OOO year and a house. He is domestic chaplain to the Marquis of Conyngham. He is, like all the recently made bishops, an Oxford man. He is the author of some sermons, among them one in monosyllables for children. THE PEABODY FUND. The Times contains two letters upon the subject of Mr. Peabody's trust. One is from the vicar of St. Thomas, Charterhouse ; the other from a barrister of the Inner Temple. The former complains that there is a stratum of poor below the class reached by Mr. Peabody's trustees—struggling poor, deserving of our sympathy. These require a little temporary help to enable them to pay their rent or provide sustenance for themselves and families during sickness or a trying winter. The rev. gentle man makes an appeal for this class. " A Barrister " writes in the same strain. lie tried hard some time ago to find cheap lodgings for a working man with a wife and five children and £1 a week. He obtained two rooms for him in a model lodging-house, at a rent of Gs. a week. The rooms were wretched. He himself lives half a mile from the model lodging house, in comfortable chambers, at a less rent. The proper administration of charity is almost as impor tant as the charity itself. Mr. Peabody has done his part, and it is to be hoped the trustees will thoroughly carry out his intentions. The abuse of the gigantic sums he has given would be a great scandal. A RARE -VERDICT; There is a celebrated tale of a jury acquitting a man on a certain charge, but warning him not to do it again. A verdict given at Sheffield the other day was almost ca remarkable. A man was tried for stealing a plated cup, and after the jury had delibe rated an hour they returned into court with a verdict of guilty, but recommended the man to mercy because the evidence with regard to possession was unsatisfactory. The prisoner's counsel claimed an acquittal. One of the jurors repudiated the verdict of the foreman, but the latter maintained that he had given the united verdict aright. The jury were com pelled to retire again, when the foreman gave their verdict as " Guilty; but we recommend him •to mercy." An inspector said the prisoner was a well known thief, and that his house was the resort of all the travelling thieves in the country ; and when the chairman asked if they still recommended the prisoner to mercy, the foreman answered, timidly, " No." The offender was sent ence d t o eighteen months' imprisonment. It was evident that atleast one of the jury had doubts as to the man's guilt. If so, the verdict was an unjust one, let the man be ever such a well-known thief. [le was not tried for that, but for a specific charge. Perhaps this owl of a juror does not understand the distinction. The chairman ought to do so. LOCAL EXAMINATIONS. The prizes and certificates given for the Oxford local examinations were distributed the other night at Willis's Rooms. In the absence of Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Dr. Haig Brown took the chair. He told his audience that in this, their tenth year, GJ per cent. of the senior, and rather more of the Junior classes had passed the test—a test which had been every year becoming more and more severe. He alluded to the influence of education on the prosperity of nations, adducing the instances of Holland and Spain as evidences how far cultivated intelligence might triumph over adverse circumstances, and of how little use were mere natural advantages in the absence of intelligence and cultivation. Prizes and certifi cates were then delivered to 08 students in the senior, foul 208 students in the junior classes. In Cambridge the local examinations will commence on Monday next, December 14, and will be held at 30 centres. The number of candidates are as follows : Boys : 1,1(34 juniors, 218 seniors ; girls : 241 juniors and 100 seniors. Yc.rhshire now stands second to Middlesex only in the work it is doing in connection with the Cambridge loc 4 d examinations. THE LAST FEW RACING DODGE. The Turf bids fair to become the choicest abode ot roguery. Every season sees some fresh trick, and it will soon be impossible to run a fair race. The last device of the turlites has been to telegraph to London the scratching of the favourite for the Kingsbury races. The Nun had been selected as winner by all the prophets, and, as it proved, selected rightly. But at the verY4iwe_that the horse was winning, some clever knave " wired " a " scratch," and the announce ment duly appeared in the sporting: journals. J
