The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 81st December, 1869, will bo entitled to participate
in the same,

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

VOREIG/C/TOTZS:

CANADA.

A private letter " from an eminent Englishman, who
stands high in the estimation of his Government," Las
been received at Montreal. The writer says that Mr.
Gladstone and John Bright strongly urge the idea of
Canadian independence, and say that the grand national,
even vital, policy of England is to look to India, not
Canada. It is also set forth that the British colonies must
seek to make shift to manage for themselves within two
years from the present time.

An extraordinary proceeding is reported from St.
Henry, a place about nine miles from Quebec. Two
gentlemen were arrested a few days since, at the instance
of the parish priest, charged with selling copies of the
New Testament, and fined six dollars and costs. Legal
measures have been instituted against the parties engaged
in this transaction.
