The directors draw special attention to the fact Lila the

in the same.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past yet r of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establiishment 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.

CREDIT AND THE ARISTOCRACY.

The Daily Noes in a recent article called attention
to the absurd charge in certain metropolitan shops
for the flower in the button-hole. A shilling,
eighteenpence, and two shillings are considered
proper prices for a rose. Our contemporary knew
no reason why such high figures should be placed on
luxuries of such small value intrinsically. It has
been enlightened, however. It seems that " Floriat"
has to give the young man of the period a long credit,
and consequently the price charged must be high.
The tradesmen dare not object, they may not demand
the money, and so they have to get interest by laying
on heavy charges. It is indeed notorious that people
who belong to society "think it beneath them to pay
ready money, and if they are in any way interfered
with as to what time they will ' cash up,' they resent
it as an insult." An accountant, who., writes to one
of the papers on this subject, says :
" I was recently consulted by a West-end house as to
their affairs, and on investigation I found the names of
halt the aristocracy upon their books. A large portion of
these accounts were of long standing, and I advised that
they he immediately called in. I was told that it was
easier said than done, and so it proved, for on attempting
a little gentle coercion, after numberless unsuccessful
respectful applications, there ensued a shower of abuse—
pardon me, I mean objections—such as, ' I will post you
at my club,' I will tell all my friends,' `Your charges are
exorbitant,' `You are becoming notorious for dunning
everybody,' &c. It was with difficulty I urged my client
to disregard these threats and to be firm. The clamour
soon ceased, and I am happy to say the main portion of
his capital was rescued."

THE LOYAL ORANGEMEN.

The organ of the loyal Orangemen is again urging
civil war. Referring, in terms of indignant censure,
to the statement of the Pall Mall Gazette, that the
rejection of the Irish Church Bill by the Lords will
in all probability lead to a renewal of the riots of
three years ago, the Dublin Mail imagines that this
will be considered a direct incentive by the bands of
pickpockets (fancy the London roughs reading the
Pall Mall Gazette:) and says : "There is but one way
to meet these tactics : the spurious mob must be
counteracted by a real one. If the right of insurrec-
tion be proclaimed in the cause of an ambitious and
unscrupulous faction, the posse of the country must
be raised for its suppression in the cause of the
Queen, the House of Lords, and the Constitution."
No one but the Mail has spoken of the " right of
insurrection." The people are quite content to make
their voices heard through their accredited repre-
sentatives. It is the loyal Orangemen who denounce
the speeches and votes of those representatives as
tyranny and " brute force," and appeal from them
to an armed mob.

TEE CAELTSTS.

The Gautois learns from an intimate friend of General
Cabrera that the old famous Carlist leader has given up
all hope of securing the Spanish throne for the Duke of
Madrid. General Cabrera says that he has frequently
informed Don Carlos of his determination never
again to undertake a campaign on the same
principles as that of 1833. He will make no attempt to
restore the head of Lis party, except on the condition that
a thoroughly liberal Constitution, including especially
freedom of worship, be granted to Spain. To this the
remainder of the Carlist partisans will not consent. They
imagine that the liberties of Spain can be restricted as
they were forty years ago. They have learned nothing
and forgotten nothing. General Cabrera, thereto re,
retires from the field.

men, broke across the course, formed and dressed line in
the middle of it, so that the wheels of the royal carriages
brushed the clothes of the people, who cheered loudly and
uncovered, as regards the male portion of the throng,
almost universally. Their Royal Highnesses appeared to
take very much pleasure in this spontaneous demon-
stration of mingled curiosity and affection, and as they
passed on the cheering was takenup until they disappeared
within the royal enclosure, the gate of which was imme-
diately blocked by a thick crowd. In the first carriage
were the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince
of Denmark, and Princess Mary. In the next carriage
the Duke of Cambridge was accompanied by Hussein
Pasha. The third contained Prince Teck and Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar. The fourth, the Duke of
Abercorn and party. The fifth, General Knollys and
other gentlemen; and the last, the gentlemen in waiting:.

DELAYS IN OBTAINING JUSTICE.

" A Victim of Lawyers' Delays " complains, in the
Times, that while the Court of Queen's Bench has a
long list of arrears, the Courts of Common Pleas
and Exchequer are obliged t 2 suspend their Nisi Prius
sittings for absolute lack of business. " Could not,"
he asks, " the wit of the learned judges devise some
mode by which causes pending in the first court could
be sent to other courts for trial ?" There are now
eighteen common law judges, and the election
petitions are over. No wonder if men are repeating
the denunciation, " Woe unto you, ye lawyers; ye
lay on men burdens grievous to be borne, and will
not touch them with one of your fingers." Here, as
in many other matters, we might learn of the Nor-
wegians. With them every suit has to go for
adjudication on the spot in the first instance ; if that
decision is not satisfactory, (it generally is) it goes to
a court which takes in a large number of parishes.
It is only in the last resort that the cause is
taken to the Supreme Court at Christiania. At
no stage of the proceedings is any evidence allowed
to be given beyond that which was offered in
the first instance. Thus litigation is reduced to a
minimum.

WESTMINSTER.

- _
SILLY DRVNKENNESS.-Mr. John Shaw, a person of
gentlemanly appearance, of 24, Queen-street, Brompton,
was charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Policeman 190 B said that at a little before two this
morning the defendant was drunk in Rutland-gate. • lie
stepped upon a coal plate at 22, which made a noise, and
then inquired of witness wh-ther it was quite right. Wit-
ness stoopf d and picked it up with some difficulty, as it
was not fastened underneath, but it was perfectly zafe.
Defendant insisted upon tinging at 22, and getting the
family up. Witness endeavoured to dissuade lii:n, but h 3
insisted and rung the bell, and a male servant git up.
Then ix:soner hired a c•tb to go to Itutland-gate,
he NV.IS therp, and taking up the coal plate put it iu the cab.
Mr. Arnold What do you say, Mr. Shaw ?
Defendant—l um very sorry for being drunk, but I was
not drunk.

Mr. Arnold—l don't know what you mr,an by that.
Defendant— I had been drinking, but was not &auk.
A sergeant at the station said he was what you would
call "silly" drunk. lle gave irrelevant and absurd
answers to questions. I asked him what he was, and he
said a scavenger, and that it was the first time he had
been is a station, and ho should like to rennin.

Lady Percevars servant, at 22, Rutland-gate, proved
being disturbed in his sleep as described.
Defendant said he wished to protect the safety of others
by taking up the coal. plat,.

Mr. Arnold thought he was going tho right way to en-
danger it by taking away the plate. His conduct had boen
very silly, and he must pay Ws. fine.

ROMANCE OF A DOUR EON PRINCE.

The matrimonial troubles of the -Bourbon Prince Louis
Ferdinand of Naples are now probably at an end. This
young scion of an unfortunate house fell deeply and, it
seems, hopelessly, in love with a beautiful American girl
named Hamel, whom he met in Paris. He wanted to
marry her at once. But his family were resolutely op-
posed to any alliance of their royal house with a plebeian
girl, however beautiful and wealthy, and the despair.
ing young prince could not overcome their opposition.
In vain he requested the intervention of the French
Emperor ; Napoleon had business of his own to look to,
and could not trouble himself with romantic love affairs.
At last the lovers ran off and wandered about in various
directions, accompanied, let it be understood, by the
young lady's mother, They came back to Paris, and
afterwards departed for New York, where they were
married some weeks ago by Justice Dodge, in the Jeffer-
son Market Police-court in New York. But the course
of true love never did run smooth. It turned out that
the legality of this marriage was exceedingly questionable,
and that, in fact, it furnished no safe guarantee against
future difficulty. Prince Ferdinand, however, true to the
last, and superior to all obstacles, Las been married again
at a church in New York State. May they be happy.

RAIL TV.4 1 INTELLIGENCE.

AFRICAN STEAMSHIP.

The annual general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Leadenhall-street. Mr.
P. D. liadow, the chairman, presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on the satis-
factory results of the past year. They had much
to be thankful for in having an entire immunity
from casualties, and also to their officers for the care
they had taken to facilitate their trade along the
coast. The directors proposed to issue 1,492 shares
on hand at the small premium of £1 per share to
carry out the policy indicated. The competition
on their line had led to a reduction of rates, but
he did not object to competition so long as it
was carried out fairly. The directors had always
avoided the dividing of profits up to the highest
point ; they preferred keeping a reserve in hand to
enable them to compete with any one. The direc-
tors had worked very hard during the last six
months for the proprietors and themselves, and he
would be glad to answer any questions.
Mr. NORTON, a director, seconded the motion fur
th adoption of the report, which was carried unani-
mously.

A dividend of Bs. per share for the half-year
ending the 30th of April last, free of income-tax,
was declared payable on the 12th instaut, and
also a further sum of 2s. per share payable at the
same time.

ARBITRATION.

For arbitration between masters and men to be in
any way successful it is necessary that both sides
should act in perfect good faith and submit unre-
servedly to the decision of the arbitrator. This
submission wanting, arbitration becomes worse than
useless. It was wanting in the case of the Oldham dis-
pute, and the consequences are that complication has
made confusion worse confounded. Mr. Rupert Kettle
decided that the cotton operatives in Oldham should
accept a reduction of 5 per cent. A portion of them
have refused to take lower wages, and the rest
being unable to work without the aid of therecal-
citrant, a general lock out is the result. In this case
arbitration has failed for the first time.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF RACING.

the meeting of 1869 will certainly live for somo
little time in the memories of racing men. Never
has there been such a reversal of public form and
running as we have witnessed this week. No horse
seems to be able to run two days alike, and
the Derby form, if the running is true, must be
most moderate. Putting aside the bad figure cut by Pero
Gomez, from atic urn Pretender could only just get home at
Epsom, here was Duke of Beaufort, who had a narrow
escape of place honours in the Derby, succumbing in the
St. James's Palace Stakes to Dunbar, a horse whose pre-
vious performance has been only plating. Then, in the
ith New Biennial, Badsworth, whose two-year-old form
was superior, could make no fight of it with two such
second-rate animals as Bruce and Paudore. The Ring
shouted after their manner as each successive favourite
was defeated, and plungers could only look to the Cup to
retrieve thei osses.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

Professor Gold vin Smith addressed a distin-
guished assembly, embracing all the members of
the Cornell University at Ithaca, New York, May
19, in reply to Senator Sumner's speech. The
opening portion of his address, wherein he reviewed
national antipathies, and those interested in war
was of great interest; but when he placed the
English view before his American hearers he went
over ground, however novel to them, thoroughly
familiar in England. Considered as the remarks
of an Englishman to an American audience, the
speech was well conceived and expressed. Nearly
all the strong points were touched on quite suffi-
ciently to give his bearers another view of this much-
vexed question. But, to an Englishman here, they
appear weak when contrasted with the strong wine to
which he is accustomed in the discussion of this sub.
ject. We need not follow him along a path now
so familiar to our readers ; but, to do him justice,
he has rethernedihn-iwror of his letter to the Bee-
hive, which has found its way bacirto America,
creating there no little astonishment. The Ameri-
can papers contrast their action in at once placing
this speech in full before their readers with that of
the English peesnin suppressing the oration to which
it was a reply;" Mr. Smith gives these extraetsirom a
celebrated speech of Senator Sumner on Foreign
Relations, delivered during the war, which he
asserts was the prototype of that he then answered,
to show the Senator's frame of mind on the mike' ct
of Azlvery. "Not to blast is to bless," says the Conk.
deration of the Slave States ; he terms " a Magnum
Lotroeinitint, whose fellowship can have nothing
but the filthiness of evil," "a mighty house of illy
fame," " an Ishmael," " a brood of harpies defiling
all whi.ch it cannot steal," " a one-eyed Cyclops of
Nations," "a soulless monster of Frankenstein," a
wreteled crea,'ion of mental science without God."
" Who," he proceeds, "can welcome such a crea-
tion ? who can consort with it ? There is something
loathsome in the idea: There is contamination even
in the thought. If you live with the lame, says
the ancient provkyb: yol Witl learn to limn ; if von
k,!ep iu kitelen, you will smell of smoke ; if
you tou-.111 pitch you will be defiled. But what laine-•
ness so pitiful as that of this praended Power !

LONDOW, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1869.

Whereas but a ve• y little more than twenty
years ago the Iron Duke startled us all with the
assertion that barely five thousand soldiers could be
brought tog,:ther in de!'ence of the United Kingdom
—Ergland has naw at her command nearly 11)0,000
of the Regular Army, fully 100,000 Militia, and
not far short of 200,000 Rifla Volunteers. To be
exact, so far as to speak really within the mark, the
QuEEN's Army numb2r3, in 1809, as many as 90,000
men altogether—the Militia embraces wiihin it, at
the least; 100,000 —the Volunteer Riflemen, who are
continually increasing rather than falling off in their
nuarliers, are, at this moment, at any rate, some
170;000 strong. A transformation of thingS so
astounding as this has been accomplished, naoreova,
with comparative facility,within a very brief interval.
It has involved, of course, an enormou3 expenditure.
But this prodigal expenditure the nation at large
has never begrudged. The Crimean war realizA to

SMALLPDX AT NEW TORII.

The pe‹,ple of New York are much alarmed at the
prevalence, of smallpox in certain quarters of the city.
A physician connected with the Health Office says there
can be no doubt-that the disease has largely increased in

it is imported by the emigrant vessels. The Philadclikia

PARIS, June 11.
The disorders and riots were renewed last nig"
at Belleville and on the Boulevard Montmartre'
where two houses, 1 5 kiosks, and the office of an
omnibus proprietor were sacked, and all traffic wag
interrupted. The Gardes de Paris charged the
crowd, which was singing the Marseillaise.
The proclamation of the Prefect of the Police; in
which he announces his intention of preserving
tranquillity by all means in his power, was torn
down in several places.

Towards 11 o'clock a dense crowd appeared upon
the Boulevard Montmartre, the Place de la, Bastille'
and on the Boulevard Villette.
The public force occupies the most important
points of the disturbed quarter, but up to the
present hour no collision with the troops lu.s been
reported.

The disturbances were greatly aggrava# ed through
the extinction of the gas lights at various Foint°
of the Boulevards. Several members of the edi-
torial staff of the Rappel were arrested during the
day.

By one a.m. this morning tranquillity Was re-
stored on the Boulevard Montmartre, and it is O°W
occupied by the police and the Gardes de Far',
A few groups of people persisted in remaining in
the neighbouring streets.
The police succeeded in arresting y esterd al
several individuals who tried to break into the 011
shop of M. Lefancheux in the Rue Vivienne.
The following report of last night's proceeding'
is published this morning in the Gazette de lr"
buneaux.

The Boulevard Montmartre was last night froW
eight o'clock again the se me of disturbances. A
The crowd shouted, screamed, and whisthd•
gang of rioters passing through the Rue Montioart
arrived on the spot by half-past nine singing the
Marseillaise and uttering seditious cries. -wherever
they passed, the shops, the cafes, and the arcades
were immediately closed. By 10 o'clock 200 Ser:
geants de Ville appeared, and summoned the croWd
.
to disperse. The rioters, however, again collected
in the neighbouring streets. Cavalry patrols tra,
versed the Rues Rougemon and Berghe in the F 311:
bourg Montmartre. Similar disturbances occurr7i
on the Place de l'Hotel de Ville. The crowd shouted
and sang the Marseillaise. The police energetically
forced the rioters back.

At half-past 10 o'clock some individuals tried to
upset an omnibus, but were prevented 11 the
police. At 11 o'clock about 150 persons Passed
through the Boulevard Montmartre, upsetting the
seats and kiosks in front of the Cafe des
Varietes, in order to block up the streets and Pre:
vent the passage of the cavalry. They even sue,
ceeded in extinguishing several gaslights, thro;
ing this part of the Boulevard into darkness, Will
caused great excitement.

ARBITRATION.

For arbitration between masters and men to be in
any way successful it is necessary that both sides
should act in perfect good faith and submit unre-
servedly to the decision of the arbitrator. This
submission wanting, arbitration becomes worse than
useless. It was wanting in the case of the Oldham dis-
pute, and the consequences are that complication has
madeconfusion worse confounded. Mr. Rupert kettle
decided that the cotton operatives in Oldham should
accept a reduction of 5 per cent. A portion of them
have refused to take lower wages, and the rest
being unable to work without the aid of the recal-
citrant, a general lock -out is the result. In this case
arbitration has failed for the first time.

ROMANCE OF A BOURBON PRINCE.

The matrimonial troubles of the Bourbon Prince Louis
Ferdinand of Naples are now probably at an end. This
young scion of an unfortunate house fell deeply and, it
seems, hopelessly, in love with a beautiful American girl
named Hamel, whom he met in Paris. He wanted to
marry her at once. But his family were resolutely op-
posed to any alliance of their royal house with a plebeian
girl, however beautiful and wealthy, and the despair-
ing young prince could not overcome their opposition.
In vain he requested the intervention of the French
Emperor ; Napoleon had business of his own to look to,
and could not trouble himself with romantic love affairs.
At last the lovers ran off and wandered about in various
directions, accompanied, let it be understood, by the
young lady's mother, They came back to Paris, and
afterwards departed for New York, where they were
married some weeks ago by Justice Dodge, in the Jeffer-
son Market Police-court in New York. But the course
of true love never did run smooth. It turned out that
the legality of this marriage was exceedingly questionable,
and that, in fact, it furnished no safe guarantee against
future difficulty. Prince Ferdinand, however, true to the
last, and superior to all obstacles, has been married again
at a church in New York State. May they be lusppy.

RAILIV_.Y INTELLIGENCE.

AFRICAN STEA3ISIIIP.

The annual general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Leadenhall-street. Mr.
P. D. Hadow, the chairman, presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on the satis-
factory results of the past year. They had much
to be thankful for in having an entire immunity
from casualties, and also to their officers for the care
they had taken to facilitate their trade along the
coast. The directors proposed to issue 1,492 shares
o❑ hand at the small premium of £1 per share to
carry out the policy indicated. The competition
on their line had led to a reduction of rates, but
he did not object to competition so long as it
was carried out fairly. The directors had always
avoided the dividing of profits up to the highest
roint ; they preferred keeping a reserve in hand to
enable them to compete with any one. The direc-
tors had worked very hard during the last six
months for the proprietors and themselves, and he
would be glad to answer any questions.
Mr. NORTON, a director, seconded the motion for
the adoption of the report, which was carried unani-
mously.
A dividend of Bs. per share for the half-year
ending the 30th of April last, free of income-tax,
was declared payable on the 12th instant, and
also a further sum of 2s. per share payable at the
same time.

A NOIITII GERMAN MINISTRY.

The North German Parliament has defeated Count
Bismarck. In spite of all the efforts of the Chancellor
and his supporters, the motion to attach a responsible
Cabinet to the North German Chancellorship, and thus
convert his Executive into a regular constitutional Govern.
ment, was carried by a majority of 111 to 100. We have
already given Count Bismarck's argument against this
change. Indeed, both parties need the same pleas, the
Chancellor urgiog, that the establishment of a North Ger-
man 'Ministry would frighten the Southern States, by
giving too much power to a Cabinet in which Prussia will
be so powerfully represented. A Ministry reponsible
to the North German Parliament would infallibly
infringe upon the liberties of time individual States,
and thus deter the South from joining the North.
But the supporters of the motion held that to substituta
a Ministry for a 'series of irresponsible committees or
departments was a Liberal movement, and by subjecting
the Executive to the control of the North German Parlia-
ment would win, instead of repelling, the Southern States.
The Times correspondent thinks the Federal Council will
reject the motion, and that the Parliament in revenge will
refuse a new loan and taxes demanded of it. Whatever
may be the result, this proposition hronght forward by Prus-
sian Liberals in opposition to the Gov(rm e;it shows how
thoroughly the mass of the nation Las e'; is heart on
German unity.

3111. DISIIAELT.

It is satisfactory to find that the " re: ere attack of
the gout" which prevented Mr. Disraeli from being
present in the House of Commons on Monday, when
his friends received four severe defeats, did not pre-
vent him from giving a largo dinner party to dis-
tinguished guests two evenings later. The world
will hardly know whether to congratulate the ex-
Premier more upon his very speedy recovery or upon
the well-timed occurrence of his illness.

MR. CIIILDF./tS.

Some two or three months ago, in the first fervour
of economy, it was announced that Mr. Childers had
given up his official residence at the Admiralty for
the public service, and the public duly applauded the
patriotism which dictated this sacrifice. The papers
now announce that " last evening (Wednesday) Mrs.
Childers held an assembly at the official residence of
the First Lord of tile Admiralty, 'Whitehall." It
would seem, therefore, a it tic patriotic instincts of
the First Lord had yielded to the remonstrances of
the First Lady of the Admiralty.
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.

The division list cn Mr. T. Chambers's motion to
legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister
presents a curious medley of names. The majority
was composed mainly of Liberals, although many
Conservatives voted in favour of the motion.
Among these were Viscount Barrington, Mr.
Bentinck, Hon. R. Bourke, Mr. Cawley,
Mr. Dick, Viscount Galway, Mr. Hick, Mr.
Staveley Hill, Mr. Johnston (of Ballykilbeg),
Mr. Kavanagh, Lori. George Manners, and Mr.
Sidebottom. Some of the Liberals who opposed the
second reading were Mr. Aytoun, Mr. Blake, Sir
Rowland Blennerhassett, Lord George Cavendish,
Right lion. W. H. Cogan, Sir John Cole-
ridge, 'Mr. E. relison, Air. Dundas, Sir
John Esinentle, Mr. Crum-Ewing, Air. Finnic,

dtland,Mr. Matheson, Mr. Miller, Mr. Monsell, The
O'Donogline, Mr. Arthur 13( el, Colonel Sykes, and
Mr. Tomline. The Prime Minister did not vote, and
Mr. Disraei was once more absent through illness.
The tellers for the Ayes were Mr. T. Chambers and
Viscount Bury, and for the Noes Mr. SAater-Booth
and Mr. O'Reilly.

THE ROYAL TOUR IN THE EAST.

The Prince and the Princess of Wales left a sum of
£1,600 for the poor of Constantinople previous to their
departure for the Crimea. Their loyal Highnesses, says
a communication rid Marseilles, declined to accept any
present of great intrinsic value, though a diamond neck-
:ace, worth 1i20,009, had been intcnded for the Princess.
