FIRE ERA:cCII.

In the fire branch an increase of business has been realised
not only larger than the average amount of the past years
of the company's existence, but exceeding in amount that
of any one year hitherto.

The premiums of the year reach the rum of £341,638
3s 2d, being au advance of £10,977 7s 3d over the preceding
year.

The report for 350 gave the increase of each year for ten
years, counenc;ng with the year 1850. The largest ad••
vance in these successive periods was £!5,639 Os. 2d, The
annual progress of the company since that date is shown by
the following figures :

PRUSSIA.

ALTONA, AUG. 10.
It is asserted that Prussia has asked Hanover
the reason for the Federal execution troops having
entered Lauenburg.

The Altonaer -llercur of to-day says—" The de-
claration of the clergy and gentry of Kiel, after
expressing a conviction that the question of here.
ditary succession would be solved in accordance
with the rights of the Duchies, advocates the imme-
diate establishment of a common government for
Schleswig-Holstein. It further recommends that
the administration of the diplomatic, military, and
maritime affairs of the Duchies should be merged
into the Prussian administration.

BERLIN, AUG. 10, Morning.

The Spenersche Zeituny of today says :

" We learn that the Hanoverian representative
at the Federal Diet has been instructed to declare
that should the Diet be unable to obtain satisfac-
tion for the events which have taken place at Rends-
burg, and which directly affect the authority of the
Diet, Hanover should withdraw her troops from
Holstein to avoid the possibility of a second viola-
tion of Federal rights."

the Government will take measures to maintain

DUTY.

The test provided by the amount of duty paid for Go-
vernment furnishes, hs heretofore, corresponding evidence
of the progress of the Royal Insurince Company. The in-
crease, by the payments made for the year 1863, is far larger
than at any former period.
The amount of duty paid by the company in

1862
Dittto ditto 1863.... 88,966 6 2

Showing an increase of . ..... £12,973 7 2
Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
of the "Royal" within the last few months may be reckoned
its action with respect to the losses susta!ned by the explo-
sion of the Lotty Sle!gh, which, although only consistent
with the general tenor of the conduct of the company, and
ultimately proved to be no more than what had been done in
former times by the oldest and zr.ost proverbially honour-
ab!e among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and
public favour by its unhesitating promptness.

The publication, under Parliamentary sanction, of the
balance sheets of insurance companies, has proved another
source of advantage to this establishment. The analysis of
these accounts, which has been completed apparently by an
accomplished hand, places the Royal Insurance Company
in the highest position, both es a fire and life establishment,
and exhibits its comparative prominency with respect to all
the other companies established under the act of 7th and
Bth 'Viet. in an equally favourable light, whither its accu-
mulated capital, its premiums, or the ratio of its expendi-
ture b© made the subject of inquiry.
It is further a pleasing duty for the directors to state that
the reault of the year, as represented by the profit accruing
during the period, presents a precisely parallel result to that
of the amount of premiums received. As the largest total
of revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been
attained in the present year, so it happens that the largest
profit which it has ever fallen to the directors to record has
likewise on this occasion to be announced.

Tyour affairs is obviously due,
in
a This
great favourablemeasti p r
e,ostiotiothn of e
fact that the losses of the last
year have amounted to a less percentage of the amount of the
total premiums than for any like period during the eleven
preceding years. The present year 1864, however, on the
contrary, shows, so far as it has passed, a far more unfa.
vourable experience, the claims of the last seven months
being very considerably above the average amount for a like
period of time. The balance to the credit of profit and loss,
on account of British and foreign insurances for the year,
is £67,575 17s 3d, and on the Azierican account £15,969
7s Ild.

quotations generally are a suede lower.
SALTPETRE—The operations have been of an unimpor-

THE FATE OF PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT.-
For twenty minutes or so a very singular and (to
the uninitiated) a very unintelligible ceremony is being gone
through. Members riso, one aft'er the other, and mutter
something, which they read from aroll in their hands, with
sounds like these, uttered in every variety of key, some
slow, some voluble, some whispered, some loud, but all
much on a par as to unintelligibility—" 'Tition, sir I" says
the MX., " from —" (name not heard), " praying that
---" (prayer lost in the distance). The hon. gentleman
moves towards the table before he has well done giving the
purport of the petition, and the Speaker cries " Bring 't
up." Without waiting for this permission, the M.P.
brings up the roll accordingly. Not a dozen people have
heard where it's from or what it's about; still fewer care.
The clerk at the table thrusts the roll into a big carpet-bag,
the mouth of which is yawning to receive it. And this is
the fate of country petitions, prepared so elaborately, signed
so extensively, and so sure, as squire and clergyman
agreed, ti excite attention and to exercise influence. What
becomes of the sheet of foolscap it is best not to inquire.
They are supposed to come under the notice of the Commit-
tee on Public Petitions, who, when numerous petitions are
presented on a question of interest, auto up the total num-
tiers, and even print at the public expense any one ouc, of
the common. Atter this the butterman and the trunk-
maker knew'something a them.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS.

Reports were presented from the visiting justices of each
of the three county prisons showing the number of Roman
Catholic prisoners received during the three years ending
respectively Michaelmas 1861, 1662, and 1863—the number
of such prisoners within the same prisons respectively, and
the total number of prisoners in the same prisons respec.
tively at the times above mentioned.
" Coldbath-fieids—Fiom Michaelmas 1860 to 1861 the
total Humber of Roman Catholic prisoners was 1,679; ditto,
1861 to 1862, 2,085; and from 1862 to 1863, 2,132. The
number of such prisoners visited at their own request by
Roman Catholic clergymen during the year ending Michael-
mas, 1863, was 195, in some oases one prisoner being visited
more than once. Since the passing of the Prison Ministers
Act the religious persuasion of all the prisoners was as fol-
lows :—Church of England, 3,891 ; Roman Catholics,
1,233 ; Dissenters of various denominations, 52; Jewe, 21;
Lutherans, 2; Mussulmans, 11—total, 5,210. On the 10th
of February the return of those that day in prison stood as
follow :—Established Church, 1,374 ; Roman Catholics,
391; Baptists, 6 ; Presbyterians, 12 ; Wesleyans, 6 ; La
therans, 3; Jews, 15; Mussultnans, 2--total, 1809.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The private sales have progressed very slowly,
and medium qualities have declined about id per lb.
SUGAR—Business has been rather dull, holders having
demanded fully late rates for West India. In the refined
market there is very little change, common lumps being
quoted 52s 61 per cwt.
COFFEE—The operations in colonial descriptions have
been to an average extent, at fully previous prices.
RICE —Only limited dealings have been reported, anti
quotations generally are a shade lower.
SALTPETRE—The operations have been of an unimpor-
tant character. British refined, however, remains at fully
previous value.
TALLOW—The market has been dull, and operations for
both present and forward delivery are restricted. P.Y.C.
on the spot is puoted 40s 3d to 40s 6d; March, 40s to
40s 3d ; and last three months, 43s 6d per cwt.

THE FATE OF PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT,—
For twenty minutes or so a very singular and (to
the uninitiated) a very unintelligible ceremony is being gone
through. Members rise, one after the other, and mutter
something, which they read from aroll in their hands, with
sounds like these, uttered in ev,..ry variety of key, some
slow, some voluble, some whispered, some loud, but all
much on a par as to unintelligibili..y—" 'Ti,ion, sir I" says
the AL F., from —" (name not heard), " praying that
—" (prayer lost in the distance). The hon. gentleman
moves towards tne table before he has well done giving the
purport of the petition, and the Speaker cries " Bring 't
up." Without waiting for this permisAten, the M.P.
gringo up the roll accordingly. Not a dozen people have
!ward where it's from or what it's abcut ; still fewer care.
The clot k at the table thrusts the roll into a big carpet-bag,
the mouth of which is yawning to receive it. And this is
toe fate of country petitions, prepared so elaborately, signed
so extensivev, aid so su,-e, as squire and clergyman
agreed, to excite attention and to cicoreise influence. What

becomes of the sheet V. foolscap it is best .iot to inquire.
They are supposed to COME, unl.ar the notice of the Commit-
tee on Public Petitions, who, w7:.;;a numerous petitions are
presented cu a question of interest, sum up the total num-
bers, and even priut at
.7ublic expense any one out of
the common. buttermau and the trunk-
maker knew something c them.
