RELIANCE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
—Yesterday a general meeting of the members of this
society was held at their offices, in King William-street,
City, when the retiring directors and auditors were unani-
mously elected. The accounts submitted showed a pre-
mium receipt of 10,0431. 170. 7d. within the year, to which
may be added 221/. I Is. 941. in respect of assurance accepted
before the close of Juno and since completed, and
1,4751. 19s. 3d. for interest on invested funds. The claims
on the society, which wero stated to have been all promptly
discharged, amounted to 1,8.301., in respect of four lives
deceased, being about 50 per cent. of the estimated risk.
After deduction of all outgoings, the improvement of the
funds of the society for the period under consideration were
estimated to exceed 6,300/.

CoM MON LIMO ING-lIOUSES.—Ati act of parlia-
ment took effect front Thursday last, when it received the
royal a4sent, for the well-ordering of common lodging-
houses. The preamble declares that it would tend greatly
to the comfort and welfare of many of her Majesty's poorer
subjects, if provision were made for the welTorderiug of
common lodging-houses. Within the metropolitan police
district the commissioners are to execute the act, and local
authorities in other places. Notice is to be given within
three months to all common lodging house keepers to
register the places, and a register is to be kept of the num-
ber of lodgers authorised to be received therein. After one
month of giving such notice, lodgers aro not to be received
in any common lodging-house until the same has been in-
spected and approved for that purpose, by some officer up-
I pointed on that behalf by the local authority, and been
rogikt.rod. Regulation may be made for such houses.
Keepers of common lodging-houses are to give notice of
fever, and at all times to be open to ,free inspection, and
when required have the place thoroughly cleansed. Penal-
'ties are to be recovered tor offending against the act. The
new law has operation throughout all parts of the United
Kingdom, with the exception of the City of London oc
liberties, and except as to Scotland.
FEUDALISM IN GY.IO4ANY.—Wo learn front the
Bavarian part of Swabia that the abolition of local and
oeignorial jurisdiction (decreed in 1848) has in most cases
remained a dead letter. As an instance of the continued as-
sumption of feudal power on the part of "the reigning knights
sad counts" we have received a copy of the following penal
imam, which the proprietor of a largo domain in Bavaria
pas imposed upon the schoolmaster and the infant popula-
tion of his village. The decree is as follows:—" 1. No
child of the village shall for the future dare to enter the
garden, the ceurtyurd;or the castle of his Erksochr. De-
linquents in this respect shall be subjected on the spot to
the severest corporal punishment. 2. Whereas the children
of the village are in the habit of forgetting to uncover their
heads on the approach of his Erlaudif the schoolmasters
are by these presents instructed to censure the said chil-
dren for their disrespectful conduct, and, in case of its repe-
tition, to visit them with the severest castigation. 3. If,
however, in contempt of this present decree, any child, or
any number of children, should dare to refuse hie ErfaucA4
the respect due to his high position, the schoolmaster shall
be punished by a line, to be levied on the corn to which he
is otherwise entitled from the Else of his Erlaucht." This
remarkable document is signed by the count, and it bears,
moreover, the counter-signature of his responsible bailiff.—

A GREEN ROSE.—We recently noticed the pro-
duction of a blue rose at Paris by artificial crossings. -The
Ro/Mgh (N.C.) Register, in copying our notice, says: " We
