FIRE BRANCH.

It is to be observed that, in the commencing months
of the past year, the pressure of well-remembered political,
commercial, and other causes appeared, for the first time in
the history of this company, to have a depressing influence ;
and the continued impetus with which the company had
been uniformly favoured seemed to be, for a short period,
languishing, if not entirely suspended. Happily it was but
for a limited time, and it is satisfactory to add that a
vigorous application of the same moving causes, which have
been successful heretofore, have again already gives an
accelerated motion to the progress of the company,—so
that the directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at
the close of the year, to announce, for the first time, that
the fire premiums have not only reached, but exceeded
£300,000.

The profit of the business of the year exceeds consider-
ably the amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact
surpasses that of any year, with but two exceptions, since
the commencement of this office.

The balance to the credit on account of
British and Foreign Insurances being £15,107 10 5
and of the North American business,which
is kept separately ..

LIFE BRANCH.

It will not be forgotten that the report for the year 1861
contained a most satisfactory announcement of the progress
of the Company's Life Branch. It was then stated that
the sum assured on new policies for the year for the first
time exceeded £500,000, equal to the average amount effected
annually by the very first among the many excellent com-
panies of this country, and that this sum exceeded by up-
wards of £70,000 the amount assured in the year imme-
diately preceding. _

The very gratifying duty now falls upon the directors to
state that the sum assured on new policies for the year 1862
exceeds even that of the year 1861, which was the subject
of the congratulatory phrase just quoted by £lBO,OOO, and
has arrived at the almost unexampled amount for a single
year of £701,427 on 1498 new policies issued.
Until within the last few years it is believed that such a
sum assured as that which has just been announced as the
result of one year's business was all but unheard of. Such
an incident as this may well be adduced in proof of the
general expansion of life assurance.

- -
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is
amply afforded by a statement cf the number rejected.
These have amounted to 311 for the year, on which the
aggregate sum proposed for assurance amounts to £143,281.
Various degrees of ineligibility, from disease and other
causes, have led to these lives being declined. The atten-
tion of persons accustomed to look into the reports of
insurance companies will no doubt be immediately arrested
by the fact, that no small number of the assurance com-
panies of the day record their accepted lives annually at a
sum not much, if at all, exceeding thoce which the Royal
has declared as inadmissible in a single year, from deterio-
ration of some kind or another.

ANNUAL MEETING OF PROPRIETORS.
The annual general meeting of the proprietors of this
company was held yesterday forenoon, at the company's
offices, North John-street, Liverpool,—Charles Turner,
Esq., M.P., the chairman of the board of directors, presid-
ing. Among the gentlemen present wo noticed Mr. Alder-
man Salmi:4 Holme, Deputy Mayor, Messrs. Ralph B cockle •
bank, Thomas Boucb, George Booker, Richard Houghton,
Frencis Maxwell, John Torr, Michael Bousfield, Michael
Belcher, T. B. Hornby, J. Younghusband, Wm. Tither-
ington, Maxwell Hyslop, &c., &c.
Mr. PERCY M. DovE, the actuary, read the notice con-
vening the meeting, the statement of accounts, and the
reportof the directors, of which the following is an ab-
stract:—

Having arrived at the eighteenth anniversary of the
existence of the company, it seems appropriate, as a pre-
liminary introduction to the subject, on this occasion to
divide the era of its experience into two equal parts, and to
contrast its position •at its ninth with that which it has
attained at its eighteenth year of duration. Thus it presents
the following features :—Then—at its ninth year—its fire
premiums were about £112,000. Now—at its eighteenth
year—they amount nearer to three times than double the
sum. Again, the life premiums were then £22,000. Now,
they are very nearly five-fold that amount. So with the
annuity branches—it is found that the ameunt paid for
purchase of annuities now is eight times the sum received
for the same purpose in the year selected for comparison.

THE YORKSHIRE MOORS.—The approach of the
12th has directed general attention among sportsmen
to the state of the grouse. From the various stations highly
favourable reports are given of the moors in this county.
ihe game is reported healthy and strong, and covers are
good numerically, more especially in sheltered positions.
u Pen the highe ranges birds are scarcer, the fine season not
!having yet replaced the havoc made by the disastrous one
o lookedlmg birds two years ago. Nevertheless, good sport
isfor both north and south, with a prospect of plenty
win
of work for sportsmen birds being all very strong on the
betterg. The western Moors are also reported likely to yield
sport than for some seasons past.

The report of the directors.of this company, to be pre-
sented to the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting on the
13th inst., shows the net revenue for the six months, after
deducting interest on loans and all other preferential eharges
to be £164,905 17s ld, which, together with a surplus of
£3,039 5s from Dec., 1862, leaves £167,945 2s ld available
for a dividend, which.is recommended at the rate of 4 per
cent. per annum on £7,425,564 13s 4d of paid-up capital,
amounting to £167,075 4s Id ; and leaving £869 18s to be
carried over to the current half-year. The gross revenue
for the half-year exceeds that of the corresponding
period of 1862 by £67,017, which may be partly attri-
buted to the traffic of the North Devon and Bideford
Lines being brought into account. As, however, the re-
ceipts of the spring of 1862 were favourably affected t,y the
Exhibition traffic in May and June, the increase is very
satisfactory. From a tabular comparison of the two half
years it appears that the mileage has been increased by the
addition of 501 miles of railway, and that 247,506 more
miles have been traversed during the period of 1863 than
in 1862. The passengers number 43,789 more, the working
expenses are £32,956 greater than during the corresponding
half year of 1862. The total receipts are £625,646, as
against £558,628, and the net revenue £301,691 as com-
pared with £268,210. The miles run in 1863 were 2,472,247,
and in 1802, 2,224,741; the passengers conveyed in 1863,
433,070 ; in 1862, 389,281 ; the taxation in 1863, .C 29,712 ;
and in 1862, £29,132. The goods department also shows
an increase of £24,155, the figures being--1863, £177,593 ;
1862, 153,438. The permanent way continues in good
working order. The company had during the past session
introduced bilis for the extension of the North Devon line
from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe, and the Epsom and Leather-
head railway to Guildford ; but both of them had been
thrown out. They purpose renewing them, however, at an
early opportunity. They had also opposed ten other schemes
for new railways, six of which had been withdrawn, two
more were rejected on standing orders, and the remaining
two were defeated in committees of the House of Lords. In
order to provide for the increasing requirements of the
Channel Island traffic, the directors have entered into a con-
tract for the construction of a fast paddlewheel steamer,
combining all modern improvements. She has been launched
and will be ready to be placed on the station this month.
Amongst other works in hand the Petersfield Railway is
proceeding satisfactorily, and will probably be completed
for traffic at latest in the eneuing spring. The doubling
of the Southampton and Dorchester line has been com-
pleted, and is open for traffic, but equal progress has not
been made on the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway, the
execution of which lies with that company. The build-
ings for the new workshops and engine and carriage sheds
are nearly completed, and the company's establishment has

Wise Criticisms—Enough to Make the

Judicious Grieve !

Here are a few extracts of certain marvellous
samples of Shakspearian criticisms :

" Nothing can match such absurdities as certain verdicts
on Shakspeare in the Diary' of Samuel Pep ys. The ' Mid-
summer Night's Dream' he declares to be the most in-
sipid, ridiculous play he had ever seen.' Pepys, on a rainy
day we presume, read Othello ;' but having lately read
" The Adventures of Five Hours," " Othello" seemed a
mean thing.' The virtuoso Evelyn is as good a judge of
Shakspeare as the tailor's son, or the eighteenth-century
commentators. In 1661 Evelyn saw "Hamlet, Prince of
Denmark," played ; but now, the old plays begin to dis-
gust this refined age since his Majesty has been so long
abroad.' Another polite writer, the author of the Charac-
teristics,' told his countrymen that the British muses
were in their infant state '—i.e., Shakspeare and Milton,
to say nothing of Chaucer and Spencer, or any of the dra-
matic poets —‘ without anything of shapeliness or person,
lisping in their cradles, with stammering tongues, which
nothing but their youth and rawness can excuse.' We have
not space or inclination to glance at many similar heresies
of the same kind—such as Pope's notion that Ferrex and
Pori ex' was a better model for dramatic composition than
Shakpeare's plays, or Rymer's sweeping condemnation of
his barbaric productions.
very faulty in hard
" Addison condemned Shakspeare as
metaphors and forced expressions,' and joins him with
Nathaniel Lee as affording instances of the false sublime.'
The public after the Restoration, actually could not breok
Shakspeare unaltered, but must needs have him, as they
imagined, civilised and improved.'
" Steele, in the Taller, cites a speech of Macduff's from
memory, and cities it erroneously, betraying
ignorance of the
existence of Lady Macbeth, and complaining that all Shak-
speare's female characters make so small a figure,' "

MEETING OF THE IRISH UATEIOLIC HIERARCHY.
The Freeman's Journal reports that a meeting of the
entire of the Catholic Bishops of Ireland was held in the
Pro-Cathedral, Mailborcugh-atreet Dublin, on Tuesday,
and the two following days. The affairs under discussion,
although not stated, are said to be of the utmost im-
portance.

THAMES.

UNRIVALLED BRANDY.—Win. Philo and Thos. Inglis,
ship keepers, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged
with stealing two 'bottles of brandy.

A constable in the service of the East and West India
Docks Company saw the prisoner Inglis about to leave the
import dock and enter the export dock in a very hurried
manner. The constable went after him and took him into
custody, and found under his shirt, next to his skin, a quart
bottle of cognise brandy. On asking the prisoner how he
obtained the brandy, he pointed to the ship Unrivalled, and
said the ship keeper of that vessel gave him the brandy.
The constable went on board and questioned Philo,
who at first denied having given any brandy to Inglis,
but afterwards admitted that he had done so. The
constable then made search, and found another bottle
of brandy at the bead of Philo's bed in the cabin. The
Unrivalled is bound to Shanghae, and has taken in a general
cargo, including three casks and 138 cases of brandy. One
cask had been spited, and about two quarts of the contents
abstracted. A case had also been broken open, and a bottle
of brandy abstracted. Mr. John Allen, one of the officers
of the ship, had no doubt that Philo, who was ship keeper,
had broached the cargo, and that the two bottles of brandy
had been stolen.

Philo, in defence, said—l gave this gentleman (pointing
to Inglis) a bottle of brandy. I broached the cask.

Mr. Woolrych said that Philo was a most dishonest ship
keeper. He fined the prisoners 20s. Each for the unlawtul
possession of the brandy,

THE CHARGE OF MURDER IN THE KINGSLAND-ROAD.
—Ann Perry, whose case was reported in the Sun of last
Saturday, was again placed in the dock this morning, but
too late for the magistrate to hear the new evidence.
It was stated that the coroner's jury had returned a ver-
dict of manslaughter, but Mr. Leigh expressed himself
very strongly upon the subject of holding the inquisition
upon the same day as the magistrate's remand; and he
considered that the governor of the Rouse of Detention was
much to blame in allowing the prisoner to be taken to the
coroner's court instead of this.

Mr. Inspector Waldi pointed out that the order from the
Secretary of State only came down last night, and the
police were bound to obey it,
Mr. Leigh—l remanded the prisoner till 10 o'clock this
morning, and she should have been brought here. It the
governor of the House of Detention had any orders to the
contrary it was his duty to have pointed out the proper
course. The prisoner will be remanded till next Saturday
when I trust there will be no further interference with the
authority of this court.
