THE ALBERT LIFE ASSURANCE.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of Saturday
evealng:--

The prosecution of the Albert Life Assurance
Company's directors, was resumcd this morning
before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Po-
lice Court.

Mr. Straight, for the prosecution, said the spe-
cific charge he had to make was that the directors
had conspired to represent falsely to the share-
holders that the company was in a sound and pro-
sperous condition, capable of paying dividends on
its shares, and entering into new engagements with
insurers, in the years 1866-69. It would be for
the Court to decide whether the company was in-
solvent in those years, whether it was known to
the defendants, and whether knowing this they en-
tered into a design for the purpose of deceiving the
shareholders and to induce the public to become
shareholders and insure their lives, by representing
that the company was in a sound and prosperous
state.

It was made known that Mr. Lee, the gentleman
pressing the case against the defendants, was not
in attendance, and Mr. Knox dismissed the sum-
mons ; but, he said, it was quite open to Mr. Lee
to apply for fresh summonses against the directors
of the company.

BRETHREN NOT AT UNITY.

There is a great feud in the Orange Brotherhood
of Ireland. 'The " Grand Lodge" is incensed with
the brethren in Belfast who voted for the Liberal
candidate, and with the proceedings of a local court
which elected. Mr. Johnston as its master. It is also
very angry with the newspapers for reporting its
committee meetings. A resolution has been passed,
requiring the secretaries of every county Grand
Lodge to furnish the names of brethren who voted
for Liberal candidates, with a view to their censure
or expulsion. The Dublin correspondent of the
Times believes that the result of this stringent
measure will be the secession of the Democratic
party from the Brotherhood to the ranks of the
Liberals.

SPAIN.

The Republican meeting held at Madrid on Sunday last
was very numerously attended. Tht Marquis of Albaida
presided, and all the leading men of the party were
present. Castlelar, " the windbag," seems to have spoken
to some purpose on this occasion, drawing a comparison
between Switzerland and Belgium, the former of which is
supported by a budget of two millions sterling, whilst the
latter requires twelve times as much. Belgium contains
nearly twice as many people as Switzerland, but still the
disparity in finance is so great as to be deservinz of
notice.

TUDG-MENT IN VIE DOULTON APPEAL

CASE.

A. telegram from Brussels, dated Thursaay, says : "This
morning, in the Court of Appeal, the judgment was given
in re Doulten. This was an an appeal by the Procureur-Gene-
ral against the judgment of the Criminal Court on the trialOf
Doulton, who was charged with misappropriating a sum
of money when managing director of the Belgian Public
Works Company. The court below decided that Mr.
Doulton bad committed the acts imputed to him, but
that the Belgian law could not reads him, as his act
had affected English interests` only. The Court of
Appeal,now decided that the Belgian law was competent
to try the cause, but added that the act imputed to
Doulton, though constituting an act of treachery
(d4loyaut4), however blameable it might be, was not an
offence against the law. Mr. Doulton is therefore
acauitted,"

A GEOLOGICAL THIEF.

It appears that on Saturday last the police in
charge of the Museum of Practical Geology,
which is opened on certain days gratuitously,
observed a man about twenty years of age steal
several brass frames and some tablets of wood. The
thief was captured with the property in his possession,
and lodged at the police-station. On Monday he
was brought before the magistrate and admitted his
theft, which it was, indeed, useless to deny. He was
a tailor, and his uncle, who employed him, gave him
an excellent character. But it seems that a marine
store dealer lives in the same house. Strange
to say, the prisoner was discharged, a piece
of misplaced lenity, the more to be regretted
as this is not the first robbery of the kind which has
taken place at the museum. If the public are to
retain the privilege of free admission to institutions
of this kind,it can be only through the vigilant super-
vision of the police over all suspicious visitors. Such
a decision as that of the Vine-street magistrate on
Monday will give little encouragement to such
necessary watchfulness.

DECLINED WITH THANKS.

Mr. Sullivan the Dublin journalist, who was
sentenced to imprisonment for seditious writing, and
who lately received a remission of his sentence, has
been testimonialised, by his admirers. They raised a
purse of 2400) but Mr. Sullivan, no doubt consider-
ing that his influence as a " patriot " would be
injured by accepting gifts, declined the present with
thanks. Ile has suggested that the amount shall be
devoted to raising a statue of Henry Grattan, who is
without a monument in his own county.

THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS...—.
A most intereEting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin2, has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
'25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourue-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 58 and CO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint-
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly

GERMANY.

According to several of the Vienna journals, the Emperor
of Russia has sent an autograph letter to the King of
Prussia thanking him for having removed the difficulties
which hitherto have been antagonistic to the friendship
between the two countries. The Germania has received a
despatch from Berlin, which, it says, confirms and ex-
plains this intelligence. For a long time negotiations for
a defensive and offensive alliance have been carried on
between the sovereigns of Russia and Prussia. This cor-
respondence was kept secret from Count Bismarck and
Prince Gortschakoff. It appears that he arrangement
has now been finally concluded.

DECEASED M.P.'S.

It is a•remarkable fact that three memoers or Par-
liament should have died during the month which has
elapsed since the Parliament was elected ; still more
remarkable that all three should have been young
men. Captain Oalcraft was only 37, Sir Thomas
Gresley only 30, and Captain Speirs only 28. All
three seem to have died of somewhat similar
complaints, fever or cold, probably brought on by
exposure during the election. While Captain
Calcraft and Sir Thomas Gresley had to fight for
their seats in Wareham and South Derbyshire,
Captain Speirs walked over the course. In 1805 he
defeated. his Conservative opponent, Sir Michael
Shaw Stewart, by 938 votes to 830. It is probable
that this gentleman will be brought forward again.
In connection with vacancies in Parliament caused
by death, it may be mentioned that twenty-four
peers died during the past year, and that their
average age was exactly 70.

THE NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.

The Ti7l2e3 Paris correspondent, as well ai other autho-
rities, states that the new Minister of the Interior, M.
Form&
de la Roquette, is imbued with a great esteem for

the English nation. and a strong feeling of the necessity of
a good understanding between the two peoples. This
assertion is correct. M. Forcade is connected by mar-
riage with several families in England, his wife
being the daughter of Mr. Fergusson, who sat
for Perth, and was once Lord Advocate. The
new Minister was also an intimate friend of Mr.
Cobden, and is on good terms with Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. Milner Gibson. It is unfortunate, however, that M.
Forcade should rule over the Interior instead of the
Foreign Office—though there is nothing to find fault with
in the appointment to the latter department, and it is
still more unfortunate that he shculd be universally recog-
nised as merely the shade of Rouher. for whom the

recent Ministeriatchangedare a triumph. The great gap-
porter of Imperialism, and the advocate of official candi-
datures and Ministerial irresponsibility, will not allow
much opportunity of M. Porcade's admiration of England
taking a practical form.

THE AGRICULTURAL LABOURER.

A correspondent of the Times remarks on the
question of the agricultural labourer, which has lately
attracted a great deal of attention. He makes some
" practical suggestions," which are worthy of notice.
First of all, he says that wages cannot be raised by
any but a natural process. Secondly, that all direct
charity is bad and demoralising in its effects. Look-
ing at the question in a practical sense this writer
asks, " What can the landlord do ?" He can offer
land for keeping a cow to each cottager who has ten
pounds in the savings bank. By these means, and
the possession of a garden and a patch of land,
an industrious couple can realise an income of 18s.
or 20s. a week all the year round. In all cases
thrift and saving must precede the grant of such
favours. As for what the farmer can do, it is said that
no system of co-operation has hitherto been obtained
between farmers and labourers, and no adequate
compensating arrangement has been made. Corn-
wage is advocated as an advantageous mode of meet-
ing the difficulty, that is to say, for part of the wages
to be paid on the basis of the price of corn. In some
parts of Dorsetshire it is the custom to increase the
wages when wheat is high, and this system of pay-
ment is founded on justice, right, and mutual interest.
"What can the labourer do for himself r is next
asked, and the answer given is, " Education for his
children, if not for himself." A savings-bank book
is an excellent possession, and by this means an able-
bodied lad may amass from Irlo to £2O before he is
twenty-five. "What can the Legislature do ?" is
the final question put, and " Little or nothing
directly " is the answer.

CRIMINAL SUPERVISION.

Mr. Measor seems to agree for the most part with
Mr. Mill on the supervision of criminals. Mr.Measor,
in a letter to the Times, admits that a class of the
community exists who make their calling that of
dishonesty, and who are a pest to society. Some
prisoners it is impossible to reform, and they openly
profess their preference for a dishonest course.
" Let us suppose," writes Mr. Measor, " that
500 out of the 2,000 convicts annually
discharged in this country come out of prison
hardened by vicious companionship and by the
contrast between the only work that can be got with-
out a character and the stimulating rewards of
unlawful adventure." He cannot see the gain of
imprisoning these men on suspicion: instead of wait-
ing until they commit an actual crime, which would
justify the infliction of a long sentence of penal
servitude when their previous career is considered.
Mr. Measor desires to see an alteration in the law
empowering judges and magistrates to take full
cognisance of "criminal tendencies," so that punish-
ment might be adjusted by the life and the ante-
cedents of the culprit, as well as by the crime. He
disapproves of police supervision, and says that any
system of surveillance is surrounded by difficulties.
What is wanted is a special department in the Home
Office to manage these criminal cases ; but to increase
the power of the police, as some advise, would bez he
declares, most injurious, for it would render criminal
inability to get honest labour with a prison character
