The total of premiums received is £371,548 12s. id., of
which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected
in the year.
The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or
£4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's
realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection
with this important feature of the company's affairs the
directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit
and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit,
amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,009.
It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount
was announced in last year's report.
Turning to the items constituting the charge of the
/ear, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac-
tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than
usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material;
as was observed of a previous occasion, the proper quin-
quennial average' is generally pretty sure to obtain, and
the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex-
ceedi £30,0100 tends to confirm that statement.

The expenses of management. are greater by nearly
£BOO than they were last year. They would have been
materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring
the compans's securities into the names of additional trus-
tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must
be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that
they are_only three per cent. of the total income.

The balance-sheet does not appear to call for any re-

£95,422 7s. 3d. already mentioned, as is shown by the
augmentation to that extent in the balance of the surplus

Reddy, the blacksmith, otherwise known as Mr.
William Varley, has been on a minor scale the sensation
of the week in New York. Reddy's position is such as to
insure for him in that great city a very respectful atten-
tion. He heads the organisation of shoulder-hitters, a
useful limb of Tammany, and takes a recognised position
in the party which rules the Empire City. The work
he does publicly, is the knock-down argument and the
hard voting ; what he does privately is to keep a den
admirably suited for the tastes of his companions and
followers, and well qualified to extract all the coin from
their pockets. Not long ago he was accused of robbing
a man who sought his amusement in such haunts, and
Reddy fled with a great flourish of trumpets and grand
theatrical effect to California. Tammany, which knew
there was no case against its valued servant, and if there
was could carry him through, had him captured and
brought back, duly tried, aad acquitted. Tho excite-
ment which prevailed was considerable, and many tears
were shed over Reddy, and much drinking as well as cry-
ing was done on the occasion, with threats, cheering, and
congratulations.

That the nomination of Dr. Temple to the See of
Exeter should carry dismay into the ranks of the Ortho-
dox, is only, says the Post, what might have bccn ex-
pected, considering his antecedents and the present state
of religious parties. Mr. Gladstone must have taken all
this into the reckoning when he made up his mind to
select the Master of Rugby to succeed Dr. Phillpotts. To
say that the Premier's aim is to pull down the Church by
means of one bishop, when he has appointed five others who
have pecularpowers of building it up, is simple nonsense. Mr.
Gladstone has had ample means of knowing what manner
of man Dr. Temple is. He has confidence in his character,
learning, activity, public spirit, and Churchmanship.
Therefore, he put him forward, and the only question is
whether the promotion is wise. About its honesty there
can be no doubt. Mr. Gladstone is not likely to withdraw
his nomination in deference to clamour, while the Dean and
Chapter of Exeter can scarcely refuse to elect a man against
whom neither heresy nor incompetency has been proved,
and whose personal character is beyond reproach. That
the appointment of Dr. Temple is startling none can deny,
but we need not therefore hesitate to believe that this
present excitement will die out as rapidly as it has arisen,
that the Dean and Chapter will elect him, that he will
be consecrated, that he will outlive prejudice, become an
letive and good bishop, and make his way with much
acceptance amongst clergy and laity in a diocese much in
need of such service as he can render.

When the House of Commons assembles in February
next, remarks the Daily News, two acemitomed figures will
be absent. The front Opposition bench will have lost Lord
Stanley, and from the Ministerial bench Mr. Layard will
be absent. Lord Stanley has occupied a seat in the House
without interruption for twenty-one years. He was
returned for King's Lynn in 1848, on the sudden death of
Lord George Bentinck, and has been returned by the same
borough at every subsequent election. Mr. Layard's
membership of the House has been more fitful. He
sat for Aylesbury from 1852 to 1857, was then out of
Parliament till 1860, when he was returned for Southwark,
lnd has held that seat up to the time of his return to the
diplomatic service. The two vacancies thus created are of
some importance. Lynn, which was represented in the
last Parliament by Lord Stanley and Sir Fowell Buxton,
returned a Conservative with Lord Stanley last year.
But the mrjority of the Hon. R. Bourke over Sir F.
Buxton was only 104, on a poll of 2,132. Lord Stanley's
Liberal-Conservatism, taken together with the former
success of a Liberal candidate, makes it possible
that a seat may be won at Lynn. In South-
wark, Mr. Layard's place is certain to be filled
,y a Liberal. It is not for us to advise tho

;lectors whom they should choose, but we may
it least express a hope that they will pass by any
merely local claims, and choose a representative, as the
London boroughs have lately begun to do, for national
Seasons. There are many men out of Parliament whom
'very one would be glad to see there--veterans who have
seen service within the walls, and men who have done good
service outside, and would take new vigour, perhaps new
spirit, and certainly new knowledge, into the debates. Mr.
Layard was himself chosen for his public services and cha-
-acter, and his place should be filled by some politician who
las already won his spurs in the arena of public life. We
;annot afford to have large constituencies represented by
lobodies—there are quite enough petty boroughs and
'amily counties for them.

The Herald says that the great colliery strikes of South
Yorkshire continue to excite painful interest, in spite of
the hopes that were entertained a month or two ago of
their speedy termination. We hear now of 'violent outrages
sear Barnsley, which are totally inconsistent with the
smiseworthy aspirations towards arbitration and compro-
mise which apparently animated several large gatherings of 4
working colliers held during the summer. During the 4
cast week organised attacks have been made onl
;he men at work on the Thorncliffe Collieries by strong
hands of the union miners. They besieged a'
ieighbourhood inhabited by about a hundred colliers ;
whom they regarded as " black sheep," men who have
-eplaced some of those now on strike, and challenged
them to fight, threatening to turn every man, woman,
slid child out of the houses. We doubt if any punish-
ment which the law can inflict is really severe enough to
srand their conduct as it deserves. Their offence against
the mere order and peace of society is comparatively
iothing. The wrong inflicted on their innocent fellows
;onstitutes the essence of their criminality. It is
sympathy with workmen which makes us indignant
with trade outrages. A workman who finds
simself the victim of such proceedings may fairly com-
plain with intense bitterness of a Government which thus
shirks or neglects its duty of protecting him at the crisis
A his life. He who yields obedience to its laws is mal-
treated by those who glory in their lawlessness and rebel-
ion ! How can he suffer a greater wrong, and how feel its
ling more keenly than when he sees its perpetrators
;scape unwhipped of justice ? It is to be hoped that no
mere wish to keep things quiet if possible may restrain
the police authorities from doing their duty by the Barnsley
inters.

The Telegraph thinks that Lord Derby's appropriate
-esting-place might seem to be that corner of the Abbey in
which sleep his first chief, George Canning, and his great
ival Lord Palmerston. But, as his son announces, he
rimself decreed, in a written memorial, that his funeral
should be strictly private, and we infer from the present
Earl's letter, although he does not explicitly state the
'act, that the family vault, beside the family seat, was
also appointed, in the same authoritative manner,
lo be his last resting-place. " Under these cir-
sumstances," as his son observes, "the members of his
:amity feel that compliance with his wishes is the truest
nark of respect to his memory." The country will appro-
;iate that feeling; and, much as Liberal no less than Tory
would have wished to see the Earl interred with national
comp in the Abbey which is the resting-place of great men,
io one would dream of disobeying the Earl's solemn
:ommands. It is curious how often distinguished men
rave left clear instructions that their remains should
sot be honoured with . a public funeral, and not
se carried to Westminster Abbey ; but should be borne
with a sured privacy to some qucit country churchyard.
inch was the message of Peel, who lies at Drayton-Basset,
Ithough his statue stands in the Abbey, near to those
,f Canning and of Cobden ; such, also, was the command
,f Palmerston —although, in his case, with the consent
,f Lady Palmerston, it was disobeyed, and his
Lust now mingles with that of the group of great
tatesmen wbo found in him a last representa-
ive; and smelt was the command of Cobden, who
'united a public funeral evejs more conspicuously than
ome snore conspicuous men. Lord Derby-must now be
to the number of those distinguished statesmen who
Ted that family honours alone should be paid to
remains, and that their last resting-place should bo
,scure. To men who are sick of the strife, and pomp,
I glitter of this life, the wish is not unnatural. It
at any rate, a wish which their countrymen can
pea,
