THOMAS ALLEN, Auditors.
WM. HENRY SMITH, jun.,
"From this statement it appears that the liability under
all the Company's contracts is estimated at £4,694,810 145.,
and that after making provision for this sum, for the pro-
; prietors' capital, and for other items, there remains a
balance on the surplus fund account of £636,042 14s. 4d.
This balance will, I consider, justify the division on the pre-
sent occasion of £158,650, leaving £477,392 14s. 4d. to
accumulate in aid of future distributions. The proprietors'
portion will admit of an additional dividend to them of 16
per cent., or 16s. per share, which, with the dividend now
falling due, will make 21s. per share, payable to them in
October as usual. The policy-holders' portion will afford a
reversionary addition to the sums assured, ranged accord-
ing to the age of the life assured, from 20 to 70 per
cent, of the premiums paid since 1857. As soon as possible
the amounts to be added in each case will be ascertained,at

Directors shall hold their offices for life, without qualifica-

all the other disqualifications named in the Eagle Com-
pany's deed."
The question as to the payment of the gentlemen so to be
elected the Directors leave in the hands of the meeting, and
now bring their report to a close.
The CHAIRMAN addressed the proprietors at some length,
after which it was unanimously resolved that the report be
approved and adopted; the acceptance of the transfer re-
ferred to therein sanctioned ; and power given to the beard
to elect the two additional directors should such election be
needful.
Mr. Thomas Allen was re-elected an auditor of the Corn-
paw, and aortic other routine business having been disposed

of, the meeting separated, after passing the usual votes of
thanks to the Directors and officers.

PROCLAMATION OF GA RIBALDI IN
SICILY.

The following was the proclamation addressed
by Garibaldi to the Sicilians before retiring ;into
the wood of Ficuzza with his volunteers :
Palermitans,—Europe, the entire world, has de-
clared its opinion on the Roman question against
the unjustifiable occupation of the Italian capital.
This is a sacred truth. You, initiatorF3 of the Italian
resurrection, and the principal actors in that grand
work, have felt the shame which weighs upon the
nation and are preparing to remove it. The penin-
sula worthily responds to your call, and those who
desire the peace of the world ought to yield to the
legitimate will of twenty-five millions of Italians.
You are exasperated at the measures taken by the
government, which has now added to your indig-
nation by recalling the man who had justly merited
your affection. Yes, the recall of the Marquis Pal-
larieino is a fresh imprudence. Grieved at the loss
of this veteran, this martyr of liberty, you ought to
overlook the errors of those who are the cause of his.
recal. These men will pass away, but the principles
of Italian nationality are imperishable: It is in the
name of those principles that you have suffered so
much, and you have proclaimed them in an indelible
manner, after twenty ages of hopes and disappoint-
ments. We are strong—we ought also to be calm
and dignified. I must go far away, but I hope only
for a short time. Near as well as distant, my heart
is with you. Our programme is that which
have shouted together upon your splendid barri-
cades—" Italy and Victor Emmanuel." With this
programme, we will go to Venice and Rome. Fez-
tune will smile once more on these young veterans
of Italian liberty sprung, like Pallae,, from your
bosom armed at all points. I reckon on you as the
pedestal of our future, as the base of our operations,
upon which my gallant volunteers are going to
labour in the great work of the deliverance of the
slaves.—Yours for life,
Palermo, July 31,

G. GARIBALDI..

ANOTHER CASE OF PLUNDERING &V
EMIGRANT.

(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
Another heartless robbery of anemlPrant, similar
in its details to that of the young marl from Galway,
the particulars of which were before the public some
time ago, took place at this pork, on Saturday week.
The victim in this case is a, young Englishman,named
Richard James, and his plunderers are two of the
many fellows who prowl about the docks for the
purpose of fleecing migrants. The amount of money
obtained was illO i'd sovereigns. James, being about
to proceed to MC;bourne, went to the dock in which
the Champion of the Seas was lying for the purpose
of looking at the ship, as he contemplated taking a
passage it her. At the dock he was met by a man
who introduced himself by asking him if he was
about to emigrate. On being told that he was, and
on learning the place of his destination, the fellow
affected to be much gratified,saying that he also was
" going out," as he bad a wife and two children at
Melbourne, and he and his newly-made acquaint-
ance would be companions on the voyage, and seek
their fortunes together. They proceeded to a neigh-
bouring public house, where they drank to each
other's and their mutual prosperity. On leaving
this house they were joined by another man, a
I"particular friend" of the one who had first pre-
sented himself ; and he, after being introduced as a
fellow-voyager, joined their company. As in the
case of the " Galway Grecian," a walk through the
cemetery was proposed, after leaving which place
the conversation turned upon the caution necessary
to be taken with their finances before starting on
the voyage. The man who had first introduced him-
self to James said he and his friend had provided
themselves with a peculiar sort of purse in which
to keep their money safe. He was desirous that their
newly-made friend should have ore, and accord-
ingly made him a present of one, putting in it " a
sovereign for luck." Another drink was then pro-
posed, and they went together into a public hous e
in Copperas•hill. here the man who had first pre-
sented himself said if James would give him his
money he would
show him how to " stow" it in
the purse, James foolishly handed over to him
110 sor-Jreigns, which the fellow assumed to put
into the purse, and then returned it to James. They
le,rit the house and parted company, with the under-
standing that they would meet on the following
day. On examining the purse James foundin place
of his sovereigns 110 "Jacks,"not worth so many
farthiegs. The police were applied to, and
detec-
tive Smith put in charge of the case. From
infor-
mation that officer received he apprehended theF fel-
