This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the
' recent storms and loss rf life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs.

tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.

standing liabilities of £3BB. Theo e expenses, says/ z
laries, pc., since January, 1860, had amou
£296. On `the other had the interest which ha act
crued from sums invested amounted to £567, so that
the balance in hand was £3,038. If the directors _
should succeed in disposing of the maps and plans,
they would make a pro rota distribution of the sum
realised among the shareholders.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re
port, said the great difficulty in carrying out the
objects of the company was that they had too many
parties to please. They had the authorities in Tri-
nidad, the Colonial-office at home, and the share-
holders. There were numerous references to go
through, both at home and abroad, before they
could bring any matter to a settlement, and this had
caused considerable delay. The shareholders had
taken up only 5,000 shares out of 30,000, and there
was now a general wish that the company should be
brought to a close. They had , received £4,975,
had carried on the company for seven years, paying
all expenses, and they had now a balance of £3,038.
This would allow of a return of 10s. or 11s. per
share, after paying the expenies of winding up ; and
if the maps and plans could be disposed of they
would -have a further sum to divide.

Mr. RENNIE seconded the motion for the adoption
of the report, and it was carried.
After some opposition from Mr. CURTIS, a resolu-
tion was passed to the effect that the company be
wound up voluntarily, and that Mr. W. Hartridge,
of Old Broad-street, be the liquidator.
Mr. HARTRIDGE hoped the shareholders present
would attend the next meeting, which was to be held
in about a month, for confirming the resolutions
just passed.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
closed the proceedings,

POLAND.

The Franco-Polish committee, says the Avenir

after having devoted more than 80,000 f. to its work

give public lectures. The authorisation was ac-
corded to it in the month of November last, and re-
newed on the 10th of January. At present, from
some cause of which we
.are ignorant, the authorisa-
tion in question was withdrawn on the 20th inst.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JAN. 31.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, Deputy
von Poune put the following question to the
Government—" Whether, and when, the decree
of June 20, 1864, respecting the approval of prize
regulations, and the arrangements to be made in
connection with prizes, will be laid for ratifica-
tion before the Chamber ?" The question is based
upon Art. 62 of the Constitution, by which the
Government can only issue legislative enactments
with the co-operation of the representatives, and
was supported by 38 members of the Progress
party.

The Minister of Justice replied that, in the
opinion of the Government, no infringement of
the rights of the representatives had taken place
by the issue of the decree. It did not affect legis-
lation, and was only a war measure, which the
Crown was privileged by the Constitution to take.
The regulation introduced no legal principles, but
only contained the rules of military international
law ; it was therefore no new law. The Minister
read a lengthy declaration in order, as he said, to
convey his meaning more clearly. The prize regu-
lations had neither changed nor suspended any
existing right. For such disadvantages as were
inflicted upon inhabitants of the interior, redress
might be sought by the injured parties through the
courts of law. Similar prize regulations had been
enforced in Denmark and Austria. The prize-court
process was no legal measure, but dependent upon
the military tribunals.
A Catholic pastor and 414 of his parishioners
sent in a written document to the House, protesting
against: President Grabain's opening speech. The
President laid the protest upon the table, for the
inspection of the members.

A Good Example.

Very nearly a quarter of a century ago, it was
our lot to report the foundation of an institution,
which was ushered into existence without any
flourish of trumpets, but with a fixed determination
on the part of its originators, that it should accom-
plish its work, and fulfil the object of its creation,
purely and simply by its own merit. It filled an
actual gap ; it supplied a real want in one branch
of our social system ; and when to this condition we
add an honest and economical management, an effi-
cient and energetic executive, and the most thorough
publicity on every detail of its business, we have
said enough to account for a success which has sur-
prised even its founders.
We allude to the Provident Clerks' Mutual Life
Association, whose 24th annual meeting is reported
in our columns of to-day. Beginning merely as the
" provident" offshoot of a benevolent institution,
and confining its earlier operations almost exclu-
sively to the class whose name it bears, its value
was soon appreciated by the general public ; and
although we do not often see its name among the
offices whose advertisements fill our newspapers and
periodicals, conducted as it is on principles of the
utmost economy and prudence, we learn by its
last report that it numbers in its ranks 8,000
living members of every class and rank in society,
while an income of £60,000 a year, and a, reserve
of more than a quarter of a million sterling speak
volumes in favour of its solidity. Its risks are pro-
bably distributed over a larger area than a similar
sum in any existing life office, a fact which, while it
necessarily increases the labour of its administration,
renders any disturbing cause in the mortality un-
likely, or at any rate harmless.

It may be reasonably asked how it is that so many
thousand persons should have flocked to an office
which is by no means paraded with that widespread
publicity nowadays deemed indispensable. We be-
lieve the real answer to be that the thinking part of
the public are better judges of truth than is gene-
rally supposed ; their attention may be caught for
a moment by a " promising" announcement, but
they like, in the majority of cases, to satisfy them-
selves that they are " safe" before entering on a
contract which is to last their lifetime.

It is to the perfect conviction of its " safety" that
the success of the Provident Clerks' Association is
mainly due. We give all credit to the energy and
ability of its management, but no exertions on
their part would have placed the Association
in its present gratifying position had it not been
founded upon a solid and enduring basis. For years
past its extension has been more and more rapid,
and from the careful investment of its funds, and
the constantly diminishing per tentage of expendi-
ture, it has become one of the most profitable, as
well as most secure, of our great life assurance asso-
ciations.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

(From the Gazette of last Evening.)
WAR OFFICE, Nov. 21.

The Pneen has been graciously pleased to signify her
intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on
the undermentioned officer of her Majesty's army, whose
claims to the same have been submitted for her Majesty's
approval, on account of an act of bravery performed by
him in New Zealand, as stated against his name, viz.:—
Captain Hugh Shaw, 18th Regiment—For his gallant
conduct at the skirmish near Nukumaru, in New Zealand,
on the 24th of January last, in proceeding, under a
heavy fire, with four
.privates of the regiment, who
volunteered to accompany him, to within 30 yards
of the bush occupied by the rebels, in order to carry off
a comrade who was badly wounded. On the afternoon
of that day, Captain Shaw was ordered to occupy a
position about half a mile from the camp. And ad-
vanced in skirmishing order, and, when about 30 yards
from the bush, he deemed it prudent to retire to a palisade
about 60 yards from the bush, as two of his party had been
wounded. Finding that one of them was unable to move,
he called for volunteers to advance to the front to carry
the man to the rear, and the four privates referred to ac-
compant2,l him, under a heavy fire, to the place where the
wounded :::tin was lying, and they succeeded in bringing
him to .

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR SALMON FISHERS.—For
nearly a whole week the, footpath of the bridge at
the Bridge of Allan has been occupied by persons witnessing
the efforts of the salmon to get over the dam. They seem
to be running in shoals. It is many years since such a
number has been seen ascending within a similar period,
and gives good promise of a reduction in the price of this
fine fish from what has been ruling for many past seasons.
The local commissioners have issued printed circulars call-
ing upon all millowners, under a penalty of £5, to provide
a ladder at each dam. If they enforce this bye-law far
fewer foul fish will be captured in future,whilst there will
no longer be witnessed the many unsuccessful and painful
efforts made by the fish to ascend. At many places at
present they are so weakened by these efforts as to become
an easy prey to poachers.—North British Daily Mail.
LADVERTISEMENT.]-I.followay's Pills and Ointment.--
A frequent cause of gout and rheumatism is the inflamma-
tory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion and
general debility. A few doses of these pills, taken in time,
are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism ;
but any one who has an attack of either should use Hollo-
way's ointment also, the powerful properties of which,
combined with the effect of the pills, must infallibly effect
a cure. These pills act directly on the blood, which they
purify and improve. They also regulate the secretions
and give tone to the stomach, and thus the whole system
is invigorated and put into a condition which enables it to
stop the approach of the disease or throw it off.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN AT
BOLTON.—An inquest was held at Bolton yesterday
on the body of Catherine Joyce, aged 24, who was found
insensible in Ray-street, Little Bolton, on Friday night
She had been a domestic servant in the family of Mr.
Whitehead, confectioner, Deansgate, but had been dis-
charged that evening, in consequence of some money
being missed from Mr. Whitehead's shop. She was greatly-
distressed by the reflection upon her character, and went
to the shop of Mr. Goodman, druggist, Bradshawgate,
where she had been in the habit of purchasing "almond
flavour " (a dilution of the essence of bitter almonds),
which is used by confectioners. She obtained half an
ounce, for which she paid sixpence, and shortly after-
wards she fell in the street, on her way to the house of
her brother-in-law, in Back Ray-street. She was removed
to the Shepherds' Arms beerhouse, where she was attended
by Dr. Settle, but life was extinct. It appeared that on
missing the money Mr. Whitehead consulted Mr. Harris,
superintendent of police, who advised that ho should dis-
charge the girl, but without charging her with having taken
the money. He did so : she was put out, and cried. She
had denied all knowledge of the money, and so had three
other servants. She was a good servant, and he had no
fault to find with her, but hehad followed the advice given
to him. Dr. Settle proved that death was caused by prus-
sic acid, which is contained in oil of almonds, and the jury
found a verdict that the deceased took the poison whilst
labouring under temporary insanity.

7,823 miles for the same period of 1864, showing an
increase of £7 per mile, The receipts on the 4,873
miles of old lines averaged £2,692 per mile, against
£2,629 per mile on 4,772 miles for the correspond-

ing period last year, showing an increase of £63 per
mile. The receipts on the 3,437 miles of new or
branch lines averaged £960 per mile, and for the
corresponding period of last year, on 3,051 miles,
£955 per mile. 'This shows the vast difference be-
tween average receipts on branch lines as compared
with the average receipts on main lines of railway,
the former being in this case little more than one-
third of the latter, and indicates also the commer-
cial necessity of constructing and working branch
lines at very much less cost than main lines.
