amount to £2.897,886 10 3d., and the Proprietors will observe
Plat of this amount C 177,680, their paid-up capital, is set apart

the pmeisbos for the present bonus, and the accumulating fund
for future bonuses and expenses, and It is recommended accord-
Indy that £208,774 be now appropriated for immediate distribu-
tion, leaving £772,740 115. 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet
Ike reductions of ;wend in respect of the policies transferred
by the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of which
reduction., it may be remembered, la to take place In 1668.

Wktors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early In
hewers The portion to be allotted to the policyholders will
be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of the addition
made hi each case despatched to them ; but this process will
seormarily occupy considerable time. Meanwhile, some Idea
may be formal of the amount of these reversionary additions
by as examination of the inilSoined table, which exhibits them
in the Instance of assurances twenty years old, effected on lives
of various ages at commencement of the risk.

The additions to be made to the sesame.' of the Society just
twinsferred .111 be in the same proportion, but will be neces-
sarily smaller in amount, In con nation of the shorter time,
that is to say, of the eighteen months only In which they have
acrrued.

The Directors consider that these results are satisfactory, and
they trust th.II the Proprietors will be of the same opinion : look-
ing at the pr..grew which the Company has made during the last
twenty years and the position which it has now attained they
feel themselves Justified In anticipating that Its future career will
be a successful one. They will only add, that they hope In a few
weeks to be enabled to remove from their Temporary Ofikes to
the new premises In Pall-mall, and thenceforth to hare more
Suitable acconimodation for the carrying on of the Company's
business than it Ms been their good fortune of late year's to

Tan HOT WZATHRT.—On Tuesday two Me,
of sunstroke—one of them fatal—occurred in Yorkshire.
During the last few days, through the excessive beat, the
largest destruction of meat and poultry known for many
years has taken place in Newgate Market. In consequence
of the maintenance of high prices, a considerable quantity
of stock remained in the storehousesunsold, and the hot wea-
ther coming in with snob intensity caused the suppressed
supply to be offered for sale at very reduced prices. Prime
beef was offered for immediate consumption at 44. per lb.
and lamb at 24. Ducks were mad at la. each. Several
hundred weights of meat, Bc., have been condemned by
the inspectors as unfit for consumption, and ordered to be
destroyed forthwith. Our Wolverhampton correspondent
writes that, on Tuesday evening, a Manchester betting man
died suddenly in that town from the excessive beat.
SAILORS AND VIZIR WIVF.'4. —A few days ago
sailor named James Dugnoon, just arrived in the Mersey
after a long voyage, was taken into custody on a charge of
having left his wife dependent on the parish. He was
brought before the magistrates, and remanded ; and
yesterday, on being again brought up, he stated that be had
seat his wife while he was abroad about 1001., and he
produced receipts for upwards of 60/. which she bad re-
ceived from him from time to time during his absence.
The magistrates at once disch►rged the poor fellow, who
expressed his intention of " clearing the port " at once.
ARKIN° A KING FOR ♦ LP:INT.—A letter from
Ems haa the subjoined:—" The King of Prussia lives here
with great simplicity, and goes out almost unattended.
Two days back his Majesty was descending the staircase of
the !Curium., smoking his cigar, when a young Walla-
chian residing in the same establishment was going up to
his room. Having a cigar in his h►nd he went up to the
King and asked hum very politely to be allowed to light
His Majesty at once held out his cigar and the other was
quietly proceeding to put his to it when he felt himself
suddenly seized by each arm ; he turned round and found
that be was in the hands of two orderly officers, who were
very much scandalised at the familiarity of the young
man. The King had some trouble in making them under-
stand that they were not to interfere. The Wallachian
was totally at ► loss to comprehend what the whole scene
meant, when a gentleman passing observed to him, 'Do
you not see what you have done' It is the King of Prussia
from whom you have asked a light.' The other was fora
moment struck dumb at his mistake, and for fear of
meeting King William subsequently on the promenade,
left Emathat same evening."
NZWRPATZTA TOR CRIMINALS. —The Austrian
Minister of Justice has just decided on a singular measure.
Henceforward a certain number of copies of the official
journals published in the empire will bs distributed gra-
tuitously to the criminals confined in the different prisons.
Since the London Hospital for Sick Children was
opened in 1852, 135,121 children hare been admitted there.
