THE STATUE OF G USTAVITS ADOLPHUS, by Fogelberg,
formerly wrecked on Heligoland, now cast a second
time, has reached Gothenburg.
A SWEDISH Punucisx has just been condemned to
two years' imprisonment for language offensive to
the Emperor of Austria.
THE COLOSSAL STATUE OP BERZELIUS, by Profes-
sor Qvarnstrom, will shortly be cast at Munich. It
is very simple and effective.
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH has been opened be-
tween Stockholm and Orebro.

THERE is only the tradition of an English lord
having come some forty years ago, in the time of Ali
I'acha of Janina, to Samarina, and remaining there
for a few days. He wrote some verses on the ceiling
of the pulpit, which were unfortunately whitewashed
by a succeeding papas. The bishop who visited the
place, and heard of the whitewashing, told them it
was an immense loss, as the verses were written by
a famous lord who enjoyed a great reputation in his
own country. They did not know his name, but it is
believed to have been Lord Byron, who was in that
part of the Pindus, and Zitza itself is only six. hours
thence. _ _

M. DEI.ANDE, of Pads, has presented an invention
which consists in certain processes for producing a
new metaltic alloy, similar to silver in appearance,
and intended to supersede it in various applications.
Tin forms the base of the composition.
THE VOTIVE TABLET presented by the city of Ber-
lin to the Prince and Princess of Prussia, on their
" silver wedding" day, was manufactured, after de-
signs modelled by Professor A. Fischer, in the work-
shops of Messrs. Bollgold Brothers, Court silversmiths,
and weighs 300 marks of pure silver (about 030/.1
It is live feet long and three and a half in breadth,
with the numerous figures, landscapes, garlands, and
adornments in the highest relief. The following in
scription, in dead gold letters, is introduced amidst
a wreath of flowers entwining the border :—" In re-
membrance of the 11th of June, 1829, and 11th of
June, 1854. To the Prince and Princess of Prussia
—the grateful city of Berlin."
lIIIIENSE DEPOSITS or GUANO have been discovered
on the Gallipagos Island, off the coast of Ecuador,
situated halfway between San Francisco and Cape
Horn.

ONE of the large perfumers of Grasse, in France,
employs annually 10,000 lbs. of orange blossoms,
60,000 lbs. of cassie flowers, 54,000 lbs. of violet
flowers, 20,000 lbs. of tuberoses, 16,000 lbs. of lilac
flowers, besides rosemary, mint, lavender, thyme,
lemon, orange, and other odorous plants in like o-
portion.

LIMITED LIABILITY.

THE question of limited or unlimited liability
is one of those in which it is easier to act as
an advocate than as a judge. The merits are not
all on one side : both the present law and the
proposed change offer grave objections, some
of which, indeed, require no elaborate argu-
ment to expose them. Weighing the case
well, and remembering the individual hard-
ship and injustice produced by the existing
system, we incline to agree in the decision
which, though not formally expressed, was
virtually come to by the House of Commons
on Tuesday night. Few mercantile subjects
have been more thoroughly sifted by compe-
tent persons. Two parliamentary committees
had, within the last few years, reported in
favour of the principle of limited liability but,
distrusting their own judgment, or anxious
for fuller evidence, recommended the appoint-
ment of a commission to which the duty of
collecting testimony should be delegated.
This suggestion was complied with. Eight
commissioners were appointed : their report
has been issued within the last week, and it is
fortified by the written opinions of more than
one hundred and fifty authorities, impartially
taken from England, Holland, France, and
America. Analysing this evidence, it seems
that nearly all the foreign witnesses advocate
limited liability, while rather more than one-
half of the British subjects invited to express

CRYSTAL PALACE.—Where is Futvoye's ?
This having been a subject of much inquiry induces
Messrs. FUTVOYE and CO. to acquaintthe Nobility and Gentry
that they have not any Establishment in the Crystal Palace, and
the reason is, that they supplied so many of the Exhibitors at
the Exhibition of 1891, as sell as at those of Dublin and New
York. It must, therefore, be obvious to all that were they to
become Exhibitors it would be opposing some of their largest
consumers. Many of their Patents, Registered Articles, and

RURAL POLICE BILL.

Lord• PALMERSTON, replying to Mr. Bright on
Tuesday, announced his intention of withdrawing
the Police Bill which be had some time previously
obtained leave to introduce. The objections so
strongly and widely urged against the measure had
induced him to take this step; but the Home Secre-
tary intimated that he might possibly draw up and
bring forward during the present session a new bill
of less objectionable character.

The Twenty-Third Annual General Meeting of this Society
was held at Edinburgh on the 9nd of May, 1354 ; William
Stuart Walker, Esq., of Rowland, in the chair.
The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unanimously
approved of, contained the following particulars:—
The number of Policies issued during the year ending the Ist
of March is 420, the sums assured thereby being 282 15L., giving
an addition to the income id Annual Premiums of 4951.
The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the sums
assured by which amount to 49,8501., and the bonus additions to
8,4821., making together 58,3321.
In comparing these sums with the amounts fur the preceding
year, they exhibit an increase of seventeen in the number of new
policies, and of about 6,0001. in the sums assured. The increase,
though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory,
especially when regard is had to the great competition which
now exists in the business of life Assurance.
The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of
last year, and the amount payable nearly 7,0001. less. Keeping
in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age
of the members of the Society, these are most gratifying circuit'.
stances.

whatever, and the Assured be entitled to travel or reside beyond
the limits of Europe,without payment of extra premium forsuch
travelling or residence. Special application must be made to the
Directors for such privileges however, and satisfactory evidence
adduced that, at the time of his application, the Assured has no

THE tone of the Stock Market throughout the week
has been far from buoyant, although no considerable
fall in prices is to be marked. After the extensive
rise of the previous fortnight, speculators, both
Bulls and Bears, were naturally cautious in operation,
while the large amount of " bear" accounts still
unclosed gave the quotations an upward tendency
upon every partial decline. The bond fide operations,
it is to be observed, show a considerable predomi-
nance of sellers, owing to the increasing demand for
cash out of doors, and the continued high rates of
discount on mercantile paper. This of itself would
rapidly depreciate the Consol Market, were it not for
incessant supplies of gold, which have come in more
freely even than usual during the last ten days.
Within that period more than a million sterling is
known to have arrived, and the greater portion, it is
believed, found its way to the Bank cellars, since the
c )ntinental drain has now entirely ceased. To-night's
returns are accordingly expected to show a large
increase of bullion, and this, with the further belief
that addition to the quantity of gold in the Bank
chests will tend to lighten the Discount Market,
has contributed to keep the funds tolerably steady.

Political and warlikerumours seem for the moment
to have lost the extrmee influence they lately pos-
sessed upon 'Change. Stocks have shown much
less sensitiveness during the week than for a long
time previously. The news published on Monday,
that the Russian armies were ordered to retire across
the Pruth, sent Consols up barely 1 per cent. The
market opened at 901, and closed at 931 94. On
Tuesday the Ministerial " explanation " sent prices
down again to 831, which was, however, recovered
and something more by intelligence of an advance
in Paris. On Wednesday the market was very
quiet : the extreme of the fluctuation did not exceed
per cent. Consols touched 941 and closed at 941.
Thursday was marked by greater vacillation : in the
morning quotations rose, some idea having got
abroad that the Bank directors at their meeting that
day might lessen the rate of discount. This not
taking place, and a gloomy view prevailing respecting
the probable duration of the war, brought on a
reaction, and prices, which had reached 941, receded
to 93g. To-day there has been little doing, but
prices are a shade better. Exchequer Bills are now

No charge for Policy Stamps or Medical Feea.
The Rates of Premium are those adopted by the principal Life
(Maces; the Rate without Bonus is lower thau that of most other
Offices.
The Bonuses are added to the Policies, or applied to the re-
duction of Premiums.

Policies issued by this Office are purchased at their full value ;
co Loans may be obtained upon them atter they have been in
existence five years.
If a party neglect to pay for the renewal of hls policy he may
repair the omission any time within twelve months, upon proof
of good health.
The Profits (subject to a trifling deduction) are divided among
the Insured. The plan upon which they are divided gives to
each pasty insured a share proportionate to the amount of the
premiums he has contributed.
In addition to this advantage which is now offered to the
Policy-holders in this Office, an annual addition or bonus is made
to each policy in anticipation of the quinquennial Division of
Profits.

THE AMERICAN FISHERIES.

Earl FITZWILLIAM having inquired regarding the
new " fishery treaty " lately concluded by Lord
Elgin with the United States Government,
The Earl of CLARENDON stated that a copy of that
treaty had reached the Government, but too recently
to have given him time for its consideration. He
could, however, state that no new facilities were
offered to the American fishermen for establishing
factories for curing fish on the Canadian coasts.
In reply to a farther question from Lord Har-
rowby, the FOREIGN SECRETARY admitted that DO
progress had been made towards persuading the
United States to throw open the coasting trade be
tween New York and California.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE afterwards, replying to
a question from Lord Derby, said that the treaty
could not take effect until it had been sanctioned by
the colonial Legislature in Canada.

POSTSCRIPT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

On the motion fot going into committee on the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill,
Lord ST. LEONARD'S condemned the principle of
the bill, and thought the Court of Chancery an im
proper tribunal for divorce cases.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained anew the princi-
ples of the bill, and said that thuugh it was contem-
plated to obtain in some cases the assistance of the
common law judges, it was not intended to create
new functionaries.
The Earl of CLANCARTY disapproved of the mea.
sure.
Lord BEAUMONT urged the sending all matrimo-
nial causes before one court, which should decide on
both kinds of divorce. He warmly approved of the
principle of abolishing action for damage as essen-
tial to divorce.
Lord BROUGHAM expressed his great satisfaction
at the introduction of the bill.
The bill then passed through committee after
the rejection of a clause moved by the Bishop of
Oxroan, to the effect that divorced persons should
not marry again.
Soma bills were advanced a stage, and the House
adjourned at eight.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
On the motion for going into a committee of
supply,
Sir J. PAKINGTON complained of the cmission of
the salary of the Bishop of New Zealand.
Sir G. GREY said that cases of this kind could only
be treated on general rules. That colony was now
able to support itself. The bishop's salary had
already been omitted from the estimates of 1853.
Mr. WALPOLE complained that the bishop had no
notice.
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the debates in that house
were notic enough.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the departure of the
governor from New Zealand was the cause of the
misapprehension.
Mr. HENLEY said that the opportunity offered to
children in the manufacturing districts of earning
money was fatal to their education. If the physical
condition of the.poor were improved, there would be
no deficiency in the attendance of their children at
school. He objected to any diminution of the vote.
Lord J. Russm.i, would agree to a committee to
inquire into the expenditure, but not to its reductim
at present.
Mr. Fox drew a parallel between denominational
and general schools, much to the advantage of the
last.
Lord SEYMOUR thought that the present system
might be improved, and that the pupils left the
schools too young.
Mr. BALL would strongly object to education not
foundel on religious principles.
The house then went into committee of supply.

J. RUSSELL stated the progress of the tio;ern-
ment arrangements in the management of the pupil
and training schools, and the increase in those
schools themselves. He lamented the want of
unanimity which had prevented the adoption of any
general plan of education.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the Government never
' gave the house the opportunity of adopting a genera

ADELPHI.

MR. LEIGH MURRAY appears nightly at this theatre
as an Irish adventurer, Waiting for an Omnibus at
the Lowther Arcade on a Rainy Day. Such is the
outrageous title of Mr. Morton's piece brought out on
Monday. The farce to which it is prefixed is equally
outrageous. The adventurer encounters in the Ar-
cade a number of acquaintances—a young lady whom
he has promised to marry ; her silly mother, who
fancies him a man of fortune, and is delighted with
the match ; and a male friend, in whose hours of
dissipation he has been associated. This friend
turns out to be the young lady's brother, and, to buy
the Irishman's silence as to certain profligacies of
his own, gives his sister a lumping dowry and his
consent to their marriage. In spite of endless bustle
the farce is but a dull one. Its only recommenda-
tions are Leigh Murray's vivacious acting and a view
of the Lowther Arcade, capitally painted and " set."

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

THE only event of importance since our last has
been the reproduction of the Huguenots Mme.
Grisi, Valentine; Signor Mario, Raoul; and Signor
Zelger, Marcel. We think Mine. Grisi illadvised to
attempt this character in the course of her farewell
performances. She has never been successful in the
part, and when Mme.Viardot Garcia is in the theatre
odious comparisons will be made by the harsher
class of critics. Signor Zelger is the most inefficient
representative of Marcel that we have ever seen.
His execution is moderate, his intonation defective,
and he is a very poor singer. The Covent-garden
managers ought to beware how they permit such
representatives of principal parts to appear, or
their reputation will suffer.
Don Pasquale was performed here on Thursday
night, for the first time this season. The cait was
exceedingly strong, including as it did Grisi, Mario,
Lablache, and Ronconi. It is needless to remark
upon its success or the enthusiasm of the audience.

DRURY LANE.
THE Huguenots bas also been produced at this
theatre during the past week. Considering the
nature of the company and the incomplete state of
the orchestra, the performance was respectable—in

to the motion as Mr. CARDWELL'S hesitating
opinion was adverse to it. He promised full
consideration on the part of Government, but,
abuve all things, depreligtikl a division. It wag
in vain. Every man di it that which was right
in his oivn eyes. The Muse became a scehe
of confttsion and disorder, and the abstract
fesolution, deprecated on all sides, was unani

the ignomony of anothir defeat.
Again we repeat that the disorganising

INSTITUTUD 1890.
SAMUEL HIBBERT, Esq., Chairman.
WILLIAM It. ROBINSON, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.
The Scale of Premiums adopted by this Office will be found of
a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate
to the risk incurred.
Four-fifths, or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Po-
licies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum in-
sured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and
ultimate extinction of future Premiums.
One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 5001. and upwards,
fur the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy,
to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of
601. and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this
Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an
adequate value.
SECURITY.—Those who effect Insurances with this Company
are protected by its subscribed capital of 750,0001., of which
nearly 140,0001. is invested, from the risk incurred by members of
Mutual Societies.
The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive
of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the fol-
lowing statement:-
0u the 31st October, 1853, the sums Assured, In-
cluding Bonus added, amounted to 12,500,000
The Premium Fund to more than
And the Annual Income, from the same source, to 109,0 G

FOREIGN.

The speculation in foreign stocks has been very
limited, and the quotations present no material alter-
ation to-day. Notice was given on Tuesday by
Messrs. Baring that the half-yearly dividend on the
Russian sterling Four•and-a-Half per Cents., which
falls due to-morrow (the Ist July), will be duly paid
by them as usual.
A new project for a Turkish loan is started, which
Messrs. Black and Durand have been charged to ne-
gotiate in London and Paris. It is said that these
gentlemen are unrestricted as to the terms upon
which they are to make the loan, and will be guided
by the state of public feeling, and the magnanimity
of capitalists.
Austrian, Prussian, and Russian loans are inviting
the acceptance of capitalists in all the markets of
Europe. At present there seems little chance of
their entrapping much English money, except, per-
haps, indirectly.

CORN-EXCHANGE—The continued import of large supplies
of foreign grain, the favourable accounts respecting the general
appearance of the crops, and the decline in the value of wheat
and Hour on the Continent and in the United Slates, have had
considerable influence upon the trade here this week. Thu
arrivals of English wheat have been but moderate; yet buyers
have acted cautiously, and the quotations have given way fully
2s per quarter. Foreign wheat—the supply of which has been
extensive—has sold slowly, at 2s per quarter less money. Float-
ing cargoes have commanded very little attention. There have
been very few inquiries for barley, but we have no change to
notice in its value. Malt has sold slowly, on former terms. The
supply of oats having been in excess of the demand, the quota-
tions have fallen 6d to is per quarter. Beans have realised full
prices ; but the value of peas has ruled almost nominal. The
flour trade has been very dull. Ship qualities have given way
2s per sack. The top price of the best town-made has declined
to 65s per 2601bs ; and American parcels have fallen is to 2s per
barrel.

ENOLISII—Wheat, Essex and Kent white, 71s to 881; red,
88. to 80s ; Norfolk and Lincoln red, 69s to 78s. Malting barley,
40s to 43s ; grinding ditto, 36s to 39s ; distilling, 37s to 395.
Malt, 68s to 82s. Feed oats, 27s to 318 ; potato, 31s to 345.
Rye, 53s to 50s. Tick beans, 44. to 525; pigeon, 468 to 625.
Grey peas, 44s to 46s ; maple, 47s to 49s ; white boilers, 57s to
588 per quarter. Town•mads flour, 63s to 655; country marks,
Hs to 58s per 2801bs.

THE PRESS.

JULY 8, 1854.

Rumours have been flying about that we are to have a change of
commanders. Between ourselves, it won't be a bit too soon. The
present set, with all their gagging, are mere muffs, if not worse. Some
of them, I'll allow, are good hands at " taking a lunar," and can navi
gate very near the wind. But I doubt if one of them knows what
plain sailing means. Then the Premier has been noticed exchanging
false iignals pretty often lately. To be suro, the old Commodore is
purblind, but Mr. Argyll, his flag-lieutenant, has sharp eyes enough.
and ought to know what's what. When are we to have an Admiral of
the true-blue heartnfoak stuff again? Wouldn't we then show them
the real " Nelson touch "—pitch old Gordon to blazes, and blow every
other Russian stick clean out of the water !

Yours, &c.

OUR GUY FAWKES.
I sing of one who office took to better our condition,
By sinking party strife in one harmonious Coalition ;
Each measure they would pass with ease, great blessings there would

be on it,
But they've not done so yet, because—no two of them agree on it.
Our Guy Fawkes,
Puff and patter's all the stock of our• Guy Fawkes.

When England moved to help the Turk with warlike proclamation,
Our Minister was first and fierce to aid the preparation;
That is, he would have been—and told the Czar he took no part with

_
him,
But a little thing prevented him—he really was in heart with him.
Our Guy Fawkes,
Precious damp the powder is of our Guy Fawkes.

THE REINFORCEMENTS.

The reinforcements to the British army in Turkey
will amount., in new regiments, drafts, and detach-
ments, to nearly 10,000 more troops. They are to
be sent as soon as possible to the seat of war, or
rather as quickly as steam tonnage can be procured.
The additional regiments are to include the Scots
Greys, the 4th Light Dragoons, the Ist battalion of
the Rifle Brigade, and the 20th, 21st, 34th, 46th, and
83rd Foot. When these new drafts have all arrived
there will be more than 40,000 British soldiers in
Turkey.
The Himalaya takes out another regiment of
cavalry, and it is reported that this magnificent ship
will become the property of the Crown. The Admi-
ralty pay for her hire nearly 9,0001. a month, while
she could become the property of the country for...

Ten•thousand French troops, on the other hand, are
to be sent to the Baltic for the purpose, it is conjec-
tured, to take possession of the Aland isles. The
troops are to be ready at Calais in the course of next
week, and the English Government has undertaken
to provide for their transport to the scene of opera-
tions, For this purpose a squadron under the com-
Mend of Commodore Grey is under orders to proceed
to Calais. This squadron comprises the Royal Wil-
liam, 120; St. Vincent, 101; Hannibal (screw), 111;
Algiers (screw), 91; Termagant (screw), 24,Captain
Hon. Keith Stewart; Gladiator (paddle), 6 ; and
Sphinx (paddle), O.
The French troops will be conveyed from Calais in
steamers to the English ships-of-war, and when the
troops are all on board they will pass through the
Downs for the North Sea and the Baltic.

It is expected that one of the companies of Royal
Sappers and Miners at present at Chatham will be
sent to the Baltic ; and Colonel Jones, commandant
of Royal Engineers at Chatham, will also proceed to
the same destination.

It is not intended that the transport squadron
shall remain in the Baltic. They will return to be
completed and fully manned for service, and will
most likely go to the Black Sea.
The 21st Regiment, stationed in Richmond
Barracks, Dublin, received orders on Sunday to be
in readiness to proceed, at a moment's mice, to
Turkey.
Thirteen railway-waggons filled with swords and
ammunition for the Turkish army arrived at
Southampton on Saturday, to be forwarded to Con-
stantinople by the Manila steamer, which leaves on

ADELPHI.

NOT to be outdone by his brother managers in the
cultivation of foreign exotics, Mr. Webster presented
u-4 last Thursday night with a translation (not an
adaptation) of La Joie fait peur, which the playbills
informed us had been made with the " express per-
mission of the authoress, Mme. de Girardin." By
far the best feature in the performance was Mr.
Websters impersonation of the old servant; which,
founded upon the model of M. Regnier, gave the part
its right meaning, and in no respect degraded it into a
mere vehicle for exciting the laughter of the au
dience, as has been done elsewhere. Here, however,
all commendation must stop. It is impossible to
censure too severely the bad taste and want of judg-
ment which allow Mme. Celeste to mangle the
English language in the part of the mother, and
Miss Woolgar to appear before the public in male
costume as the lost son.
