The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact tbet 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 31st December, 1869, will be 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 tho 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.

EXECU7ION OF 771 E ALDERSHOT
MURDERER.

William Dixon was executed this morning at
Winchester. He was condemned to death on the
Bth ultimo for the wilful murder of Corporal Wm.
Brett. lie admitted the justness of the sentence.
The unhappy man died almost instantaneously. A.
black flag was hoisted on the prison gate as the
drop fell, and remained there for an hour, but not
more than fifty persons were outside the gaol dur-
ing the sad proceedings. The inquest on the body
was to be held at three o'clock.

MICELLANEOUS NEWS.

THE IRISH CHURCH CO3IMISSION.

The Church Commissioners kept hard at work up
to the closing of the offices for the usual vacation.
The Dublin Mail says that they met day by day
until they had transacted every matter of business
left for their decision by the late Ecclesiastical Com-
missioners. They then adjourned solely to enable
the clerks to have their usual vacation. Even during
the holiday, Judge Lawson is preparing draughts of
the general rules and forms under which the pro-
cedure of the Commissioners is to be regulated.
They will resume work on the 23rd of this month.

THE LAND QUESTION.
The Spectator believes that the land question of
Ireland is rapidly drifting to a Thirty Years Settle-
ment ; that is, to compulsory leases for thirty years
with rents increasing slightly each year, either by a
rate arbitrarily fixed, or by an arrangement
resembling the commutation of the tithes. Our
contemporary not only thinks that this is the solu-
tion which will be adopted, but approves of it. True,
it only postpones the difficulty. But a cure only
postpones death, yet one swallows the doctor's stuff
for all that. Besides, this dose can be repeated. "At
the same time, all experience shows that a thirty
years' settlement is attended with one considerable
evil. For the last seven years the leaseholder
will do nothing, will, in fact, rack the land all he
can, so that at the next valuation he may get a low
rent."

THE .3/0/2 DA UNT DIVORCE CASA

This case (says the Birmingham Gazctle) will come before
the Lord Ordinary of tho Court of Divorce and Matri-
monial Causes in an interesting phase in the existing
Michaelmas Term. It will I.e ,remembered that on the
27th of July a motion was made before Lord Penzance
in the suit of " Mordaunt v. Mordaunt, Johnstone, and
Cole," with regard to the conduct of tho case. There had
been several applications in Chambers for the postponement
of her ladyship's answer, mainly on the ground of her in-
sanity at the time she made the statements which led to the
inquiries that resulted in the institution of the suit ; and
in support of that plea of insanity a number of affidavits
wore filed. Counter affidavits, more than a dozen in
number, were filed in answer, and it was upon the conflict-
ing staton.ents made therein that the noble and learned
lord committed the settlement of that part of the proceed-
ings to the decision of a special jury, so that the various
deponents might bo submitted to tho ordeal of cross-exami-
nation, and the verity and otherwise of the averments ascer-
tained. The respondent has been residing at Worthing,
end is e p u•ted as much improved in her mental and
bodily health, so that it may be anticipated that, instead
of the sensational investigation that has been ex-
pected in the ensuing term, the lady will be so far
recovered as to filo her answer in the ordinary way. Should
this be so, it is more than probable that another co-respon-
dent will be added to the petition ; but at all events the case
has been duly set down for trial.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on Loudon is 251. 15.1 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 res.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at CO
days sight was 1071 per cent. on the 19th inst. At this rate there
would be a loss on tho transmission of gold from the United
States.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXIIIBITION.—The latest at-

resting in Madame Tussaud's collection.

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Mr.
,Brandon applied to the Chief Clerk, in "Vice
Chancellor James's Chambers on Friday on a summons
for the appointment of a creditors' represen4tive.
The Chief Clerk was asked to appoint Mr. Henry Chatteris.
The policy-holders now attended the proceedings at their
own cost, and thought a representative should be appointed
to attend at the expense of the estate. Mr. Musgrave,
for Messrs. Lewis and Munns, opposed the summons,
on the ground that the Vice-Chancellor had
appointed Messrs. Price and Young in the interest
of all parties. Mr. Mackenzie suggested that a
committee, consisting of the chairman of the Man-
chester, Yorkshire, Birmingham, and London Committees
should be appointed, with Mr. Matthews, of
Messrs. Grindley and Co., London) to communicate
with the liquidators on behalf_of the various policy-holders
which he represented.

Several gentlemen representing policy-hdaers made
similar applications, and the Chief Clerk said if he made
an order rho did not see why every policy-holder
should not make a similar request. If any gentlemen were
to form themselves into a committee to communicate with
the liquidators, they could do so without the consent of
the court. After some further discussion, ho adjourned the
matter to the judge.
A summons taken out _by Mr. Hartz, on the part of
Bombay policy holders for permission to be represented
was heard, and the application adjourned to the Judge.
An application was heard on the part of Miss Cecilia
Willett, a policy holder in the Western Life Assurance
Society. The applicant stated that that society since 1862
was amalgamated with the Albert, and the object of the
application was to obtain the production of certain deeds
and documents of the society in order to see whether the
application was a:proper one.
The Chief Clerk said there could be no objection on
reasonable grounds, and granted the present applica-
tion.

IRISH FIXTURES FOR 1870.—Three important meetings
have just been fixed, namely, the Irish National Hunt
and Kildare Steeplechase for April 19 and 20, County
Louth and Ardee May 10 and 11, and Baldoyle 17 and
18, the week following Chester. We trust that other
committees will follow the example of the above and ar-
range their meetings at once, so as to avoid the injudi-
cious system of clashing.
Mandrake made his first appearance this season in the
Stewards' Cup at Kelso, and the easy defeat which he sus-
tained from Champagne Charlie is a proof that he does
not possess the form which gained him such an honest re-
putation last year.

THE KELSO OBJECTION.—The objection lodged against
Miss Middleton, the winner of the Beaumont Stakes on
Tuesday, for having been in a tiainiug stable, was over-
ruled on the following day.
CARLISLE STEEPLECHASES. —The proposal to hold a

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CIIILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space beinc,
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would bo able to attend upon more children,
but no more can bo admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

THE QUEEN.

A. very remarkable report—something unprece,
dented—comes from the city. The opening dk
Blackfriars Bridge and the Irolborn Viaduct by the
Queen surely furnished a fair pretext for a grand
aldermanic " spread," but the London magnates will
not avail themselves of it ! It has been positively de-
cided that there shall be no entertainment whatever
on this occasion. The ceremonies on the 6th of
November are to be purely utilitarian. The Common
Council has not required a procession of unemployed
workmen to remind it that a period of depression and
of great misery amongst the poor is not best suited
for imposing displays and gorgeous banquets. It is
eighteen years since the Queen last paid a State visit
to the City.

TIE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE
NONCONFORMISTS.

Royalty has recognised Nonconformity : the frince
of Wales has written a letter to the Dissenters of
Chester. During the visit of his Royal Highness to
the cathedral city an address from the united sects
was presented him. To this a formal reply has been
sent by the Prince's secretary. Thanks aro given for
the address; acknowledgments are returned of
the professions of loyalty ; and reference is
made to the revered memory of the Prince Consort,
which "cannot be held in greater veneration by the
memorialists than it is by his Royal Highness, and
lie devoutly prays that the virtues which distin-
guished his illustrious father may be the one object
of ambition to the future occupant of the throne of
these realms." Finally, " his Royal Highness sin-
cerely participates in your appreciation of civil and
religious liberty, and of the just laws by which alone
they can be secured for the benefit and happiness of
the country."

TRE BIGAMIST BARONET.

Sir Eardley Culling Eardley, Bart., has been
released from prison to some purpose. Not very long
ado he was serving a term of imprisonment on con-
viction for bigamy. Representations were mad© that
the frail penitent was in bad health; the statement
excited the sincerest sympathy of the Home
Secretary ; and he was released by a free
pardon. But his repentance has not lasted
long ; for on Thursday the " honourable "
baronet was again in the clutches of the law. Ho
was before the alderman who sits at 6-guildhall,
charged with obtaining money under false pretences.
In want either of money or of some mischief whereby
to employ himself, ho endeavoured to, and succeeded
in, passing under a false name two fictitious cheques
drawn on a branch of the London and County Bankwhich has no existence. His victim was a carpet-
manufacturer ; to him Sir Eardley introduced himself
as Lieutenant-Colonel Lefevre. and said he was 001112

Tho 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 31st December, 1869, will be 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.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS.

The tenth clause of the Habitual Criminals Act
enables magistrates to inflict penalties upon persons
who " knowingly permit and suffer thieves to meet
and assemble "in their houses. A woman named
Gilligan, who kept an " abominable den" in Shadwell,
has just been distinguished as the first and deserving
recipient of punishment under this clause. This
person has herself undergone a sentence of three
years penal servitude, and has been suspected of
murder. She lived with a notorious thief who had
been frequently convicted of felony; several of her
lodgers were professional. thieves ; her house
was regularly employed as a drink shop
during forbidden hours. It was time in-
deed that this nest of guilt was disturbed, and
by the agency of the new law the police have been
able to interfere. The woman has been sent to prison
for two months in default of paying a fine of £lO.
She may resume business on getting out of gaol, but
the Act will still visit her misdeeds with punishment.
Without the new measure the Shadwell den might
still have flourished in undiminished splendour.

MR. GLADSTObrE AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

In his letter to the Limerick Amnesty Committee,
refusing to set the Fenian prisoners at liberty, Mr.
Gladstone expresses a hope that legislation will yet
bind in harmony all classes of the Irish people, but
adds that the Government is resolved to maintain the
authority of the law and the integrity of the Empire.
The release of the Fenians would not be consistent with
this determination. Some of the amnesty meetings, says
the Premier, were loyal and peaceable, but other© were
marked by language calculated to justify or eulogise
the conduct of the prisoners; also that what could
only be an act of clemency of the Sovereign was de-
manded as a right. Mr. Gladstone has, too, failed to
discover that these misguided men have abandoned
their designs; it is also known that the Fenian con-
spiracy is not extinct in the United Kingdom or in.
America; and certain journals meanwhile, it is un-
happily notorious, continue to maintain a tone which
must engender discontent and disaffection in Ireland,
and cause social and political dangers.
