LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM,

The inauguration of the statue erected to the memory of
the late Prince Consort, patron of the institution, took
place yesterday, with the greatest eclat, in the grounds of
the Asylum, near the Old Kent-road. The assemblage was
large and distinguished, but had the weather been more
favourable there would have been a very large addition to
the number present.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived, with
the usual punctuality, at the hour at which the interesting
ceremony had been fixed to take place, and was received
with the utmost demonstrations of respbet—the ladies
waving their handkerchiefs and the military bands in
attendance playing she national anthem.
The statue was afterwards unveiled, and an address ap-
propriate to the occasion having been presented,
His ROYAL RIULLNESS said it gave him the greatest
pleasure to attend there that day, but that feeling of plea-
sure was much heightened by the knowledge that his late
revered father took the greatest interest in the prospezity
and welfare of this noble institution. It would always be a
pleasure to him to lend his aid in furthering their praise.
worthy and laudable endeavours ; and he had to thank them
sincerely for the kind feelings they had expressed towards
the Queen, the Princess of Wales, and his infant son.
His Royal Highness delivered his short but expressive
speech in the most hearty meaner, and having for a few
minutes looked earnestly upon the statue of his late father,
congratulated the gentlemen who had taken a prominent
part in the day's proceedings, and shortly afterwards re-en-
tered his carriage and returned to Marlborough House.

The Nightingale Fund,

The committee of the Nightingale Fund met at
5, Clifford-street, on the 27th July, when the annual
accounts and reports for the year ending the 24th
rune were presented.
It appeared that fifteen probationers were under
training at St. Thomss's Hospital, fur permanent
hospital nurses. Eight had completed their proba-
tionary term during the past year, two had been
dismissed, and one had resigned. Altogether 34
probationers had left the school to take service in
various hospitals and infirmaries.
'l'he demand for trained hospital nurses had in-
creased and was even greater than could be supplied,
but a sufficiency of well qualified candidates Was
not always forthcoming. The committee had no
difficulty in finding situations for their trained
nurses at competent salaries.
At King's College Hospital, under the superin•
tendence of the authorities of the St. John's-house
Training Institution for Nurses, the school for
training midwifery nurses to be employed exclu-
sively among the poor had made satisfactory
progress.
The. women had completed their training during
the past year. These were employed nearly all in
country parishes with the sanction of the resident
clergy and medical men, and either under their
immediate direction or that of some resident lady.
In some caess individuals, and in others the Parochial
MissioeAssociatioa,had.become responsible for their
maintenance.

The regulations for the admission of candidates
of both classes, and other information may be ob-
tained from the secretary, 11, Lombard-street,E,C.

CAPTAIN SEMMES ON THE WARRlOR.—Visited
the Warrior. The Governor and suite, and a num-
ber of naval and other officers, civilians, and ladies, visited
her by appointment at the same time. The Warrior is a
marvel of modern naval architecture, and for a fit st experi-
ment may be pronounced a success. She is a monstrous
impregnable floating fortress, and will work a revolution in
shipbuilding. Wooden ships, as bat tleships, must go out
of use. With this single ship I could destroy the entire
Yankee fleet blockading our coast, and this is the best illus-
tration I can give for the necessity of this revolution in
shipbuilding.—Gneiss of the Alabama and Siiniter by
Captain Semmes.
Tbe Hirnok of Pesth states that the mountaineers
of the district of Neidra, and particularly those of
Valeska and the neighbourhood, are reduced to such
misery from the bad harvest of last year and the
unfruitfulnese of the present season, that they are
obliged to live on the leaves of trees and roots.
Subscriptions are being made for their relief.

DUTY.

The test provided by the amount of duty paid for Go-
vernment furnishes, as heretofore, corresponding evidence
of the progress of the Royal Insirrinc3 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 c=ipany 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 sustained by the explo-
sion of the Lotty Shigh, 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 most prcverhially honour-
able 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 as 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 Vict. in an equally favourable light, whither its accu-
mulated capital, its premiums, or the ratio of its expendi-
ture be 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 pngression 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.

This favourable position of your affairs is obviously due,
in a great measure, to the 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 1364, however, on the
contrary, shows, so far as it has passed, a far more unfa•
vourablo 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 American account £15,669
7s 11d.

LIFE BRANCH.

The progress of the life branch, as shown by the new
business trausacted in the last year, is most promising as
respects its future prospects of development. The advances
made year by year in the amount of new insurances
effected show clearly the estimation in which the com-
pany is held. The following is a statement for the last five
years :

Net Sum Assured on New Pollees
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859 .... £434,470 11 10 .. £13,086 0 5
1860 .... 449,241 16 2 .... 15,079 17 10
1861 .... 521,101 17 0 16,627 18 0
1862 701,427 15 3 .... 22,333 13 2
1863 752,546 18 10 .... 24,069 12 8

This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the sum
assured, and upwards of 80 per cent, on the premiuma re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be cousidere
as larger than any which could have been reasonably
expected. The half-year of 1864, however, far outstrips the
ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as the
sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds half-a-million sterling.

The rate of mortality, likewise, still presents highly fa-
vourable features, and augurs well for the result to be shown
by the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place
when the present year is concluded.
The Life Assurance accounts further exhibit a sum of
£80,025 17s. 6d. added to the Life Funds in the year 1863,
being an amount equal to 61 per cent. on the net premiums
received during that time. To this,sum must be added the
increases made in the balances to the credit of the Annuity
and Endowment Funds,
-am irc
ng a further amount of
£26,026 Os. 7d. The Life and Annuity Funds are, therefore,
augmented by the large sum of 4106,052 4s, 3d. in the limit
of a single year.

own ease and comfort, but the welfara of others, For 12
years ho (Sir F. Crossley) had sat in the House of Com-
mons, and he had usually listened with great satisfaction
to his speeches, but he must confess that on some occa-
sions he had listened to them with a great deal of pain
—he meant on those occasions when he had given the cold
shoulder to political and ecclesiastical reforms. (Loud
cheers.) He mentioned this because meetings had been
held in the borough of the unenfranchised :classes to con-
sider in what manner they ought to receive the noble lord,
and the decision which some wished to come to was to re-
ceive him with profound silence. (Cheers, and laughter.)
The noble lord would not misconstrue the cheers with
which he had been received, for those who were to have
kept silence had been the loudest in their hurrahs. The
noble lord had not had the advantage of mixing with the
working classes as much as most of them, and he might
also bo excused for not meeting them so much. He there-
fore begged the noble lord not to go away with the im-
pression tha' because he had been received with so much
cheering the men of Bradford had therefore forgotten that
what they wanted was to obtain their fair share in the re-
presentation of the country. The noble lord had now seen
the working men of Bradford face to face. Ho had borne
testimony to their intelligence and manliness—and ho (Sir
F. Crossley) trusted that when he returned to London he
would go to his right hon. colleague, Mr Gladstone, and
tell him that ho had not made so great a mistake as he
thought he had when he made his Reform speech. (Loud
cheers.)
Mr BAINES, M.P., also responded, and bore testimony
to the benefit which had been conferred upon Bradford and
the district by the treaty of commerce with France.
Mr TITUS SALT moved, and Mr RIPLEY seconded, a vote
of thanks to the mayor for presiding, after which the
National Anthem was sung, and the proceedings termi-
nated. The crowd in the galleries gave Lord Palmerston
a parting cheer as he left the platform.
We must not forget to return thanks to the managing
committee and their secretary, Mr 011iver, for the excel-
lence of their arrangements, and the courtesy with which
they discharged their onerous duties.
Lord Palmerston left afterwards, as we understood, for
Saltaire, the residence of Mr Titus Salt; and having in-
spected (to-morrow) the celebrated works at that place, will
leave Saltaire by the express train at 4 o'clock in the after-
noon for town.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per mille pm., an d
the short exchange on London is 25.27; per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By adyices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchang on London is 13.5 a per £1 stcrlin4
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London and the
premium on gold are quoted with such large differences t
shat
no cm Cu aLions can be based on them ; but gold continue to
be shipped to England.

noon by Messrs Newby, Carson, and Co., East

PRUSSIA.

ALTONA, AUG. 10.

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

The Alton-ter Mercur 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 to-day 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."

rlitE 84-kNCII.

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 yeer hitherto.

The premiums of the year reach the rum of £311,663
3s 2d, being an advance of £40,977 7s 3d over the preceding
year.

The report for 1850 gave the' increase of each year for ten
years, commencing with the year 1850. The largest ad.
vance in these successive periods wag £35,639 Os. 2d, The
annual progress of the company since that date is shown by
the following figures :

Increase of the year above
Premium. the preceding one.
1860 .... £1.63,977 19 11 £34,663 12 8
1851 .... 292,492 19 11 29,425 0 0
1862 390,690 15 11 8,287 16 0
1863.... 341,568 3 2 , 40,977 7 3
The premiums have thus been enhanced in four years by
£113,353 15s. 11d,, the largest amount of incrcase having
been obtained in the last year.

DUTY.

The test provided by the amount of duty paid for Go-
vernment furnishes, as heretofore, corresponding evidence
of the progress of the Royal Insuvnace Company. The in-
crease, by the payments made for the year 1803, 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 SlVgh, which, although only consistent
with the gerkeral 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 most proverbially honour-
able 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 asNa fire and life establishment,
and exhibits its comparative prominency with respect to all
the other companies established under the act of 7th and
Bth Vict. in an equally favourable 'light, whither its accu-
mulated capital, its premiums, or the ratio of its expendi-
ture be 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. its 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 direotors to record has
likewise on this occasion to be announced.

This favourable position of your affairs is obviously due,
in a great measure, to the 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 cred.t of profit and loss,
on account of British and foreign insurances for the year,
is £67,575 17s 3d, and on the American account £15,969
7s 11d,

COPENHAGEN; Aug, 6.

The text of the Danish Constitution enjoins that

after new elections have taken place the Rigsdag
(or Legislative Assembly for the kingdom alone)
shall be convoked within two months at latest. The
Rigsdag therefore met proforma to-day, unexpected
solemnity being imparted to the proceedings by the
King opening the Session in person with a speech
from the throne,

At noon the members of both Houses assembled

in the saloon of the Folkething, the foreign corps
diplomatique taking up their stations is the am-
