The directors draw special attention to the fact thy t 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 tho 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.

THE EEVIEW AT WINDSOR

Colonel FRENCH rai,l a grand review was to take
place i.i Windsor Great Park before his Highness the
Viceroy of Egypt on S iturday nex', and as it was to be
given on a very extensive bode he wished to know
whether any arrangements had been made fur the con
venience of the members of the House of Commons.
Mr. LAYALID sa.d as no not:co had been given of tho
question he could not give the gallant member an answer.
(Uh, ob.)
ASSESSED HATES BILL.

The house then went into committee on thi.s bill, when
Mr. V. HARCOURT proceeded to move his amendment
to clause 4, the Otject of which was to give
the occupier the p ivilege of the municipal and Parlia-
mentary franch!se, notwithstanding that the owner had
made provision for the paym nt of the rates. lie said
hon. members might s ty what they pleased, the truth was
that the present bill was in fact a now reform bill which
had become necessary in consequence of the blunders con-
tained in the act passed lust year.
Mr. GOSCIIEN pointed out that the hon. and learned
member was acting upon a most erroneous assumption, for
the Government would certainly have been open to his
weighty indictment if they had overlooked this point. The
bill was not a now Reform Bill, and its oLject was simply,
as the Government had pledged itself, to redress an ad-
mitted grievance without raising up political questions.
The amendment was negatived by a majority of 291
to 42.
Several other clauses relating to notices, proof of rates,
and other matters of procedure having been agreed to, the
bill passed through committee.
The report of the Civil Offices (Pensions) Bill, after a
pertinacious but ineffectual opposition from Mr. Fawcett,
was agreed to.
Several other bills were also advanced a stage, and the
houso adjourned.

BELGIAN POLITICS.

The Patnie, which divides its messages of evil between
Belgium and Prussia, has now something disagreeable to
tell of the former country. The position of the Ministry
is very serious. The present state of things cannot last.
M. Frbre-Orban's Cabinet is not giving satisfaction on
the railway question. "It is now known that the adverse
vote of the Senate on the Imprisonment for Debt Bill is
an act of defiance instigated by the foreign policy of the
Ministry." This is simply a neat insinuation that the
Senate and the Belgian people desire the demands of France
on the railway question to be granted in full, that the
Cabinet opposes this wish, and is therefore unpopular. It
would seem from various signs that the Belgian Govern.
ment is anxious to make up its quarrel with France, and is
getting afraid; but it has yet to be seen that the people
are angry with their rulers because they do not concede all
the demands of their powerful neighbour.

THE DISTURBANCES IN ITALY.

The Times correspondent, as well as other writers, attri-
butes the riots at Milan and other places to Mazzinian
agency. They seem to have had no object beyond creating
a disturbance and unsettling mcit's minds. The corresponden'
of the Incljpozdance _Edge, however, holds to the theory-
that they were merely the resu!t of a little popular effer-
vescence at the attempt upon Major Lobbia's life; that
they arose and ceased spontaneously. They were
undoubtedly of very contemptible proportions, and may
very possibly have had no serious connection with politics,

THE WAITERS' .STRIKE AT NEW YORK.

As might have been anticipated, the strike of waiters at
:gew York has proved a disastrous failure. Trades which
require no great manual skill are not readily protected by
strikes. Waiters can be made out of raw material with
a little trouble, and so it has proved in this case. The
hotel-keepers refuse to employ any of the leaders ; and
compel the few strikers they do employ to forswear allegi-
ance to their trade union, which has been broken up.

BELGRADE, June 25.

The 'session of the Skuptschina was opened by
the members of the Regency to-day. The presidiug
member, in his speech from the throne, said—" It
would be incumbent upon the Skuptschina to de-
cide whether a new Constitution was a necessity
for the country. The Charter of 1838 being merely
a grant imposed by the Sovereign, had bug since
failed to satisfy the wants of the people. In case
the Skuptschina should resolve upon introducing a
constitutional regini6, the latter would come into
force after being duly sanctioned by the Regency."

A SPOItTSMAN'S LIFE.

A. case has just been tried in the Court of Common
Pleas which, it has been remarked, might, in prac-
tised hands, supply the elements of a realistic drama
or novel. The plaintiff, a Mr. Suntan, who was
formerly house steward to a great duchess, brought
an action against the Gresham Insurance Company
on a policy of £l,OOO, effected on the life of
a young man named Owen. Mr. Owen
• was an ensign in the army, who had
got into difficulties, and was honoured by the
friendship of Mr. Morby, a money-lender, through
whose kind ass:stance he disposed of the whole of Ilia
money, including the price of his commission and
a reversicnary interest. The policy of insurance
was effected as security for the loan ad-
vanced by Mr. Surman; but as Mr. Owen
died three months after it was effected,
of delirium .tremens, the company objected to pay it.
In the evidence it appeared that Mr. Surman
advanced 375 on a three months' bill for £4OO,
which was afterwards made ,500 on Mr. Surman's
paying 1:70 in cash. Mr. Owen, who had ruined a
fine constitution by intemperance, was so depressed
by the result of last year's Derby that he drank more
and more, dying in July. As the company believed
Mr. Surman ws ignorant of Mr. Owen's state of
health, the case was compromised.

T HAMES.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY BY Two GERMASS.—Two Ger-
mans, named John Seggerton and Snoes Krute, were
brought before Mr. Paget, in custody of Police-sergeant
Kenwood, of the H division, from Liverpool, charged with
robbing three other Germans of watches, clothes, and
money. On the 19th of May last the five men were all
employed on the establishment of Hall and Boyd, sugar
refiners, in St. George-in-the-East, and all lived in the
same house in Pennington-street, Rateliff-highway. The
prisoners remained at home on the above mentioned dap•
The prosecutors went earlier than usual, and the pri-
soners took advantage of their absence to break open their
fellow-workmen's boxes, and rob them of their watches,
money, and clothes,:and then they absconded. Kenwood
traced the prisoners to Liverpool, where he arrested theta
yesterday. They walked a portion of the distance to Liver-
pool, and one of them obtained work as a sugar baker.
They sold one of the stolen watches in Warrington, and
travelled the remainder of the distance by railway. The
property stolen from the box of one man was valued at
£9 10s., and tho others each lost clothes, money, and e
watch, to the amount of -£3. The prisoners admitted the/
robbed their fellow-countrymen, and each criminated the
other.
Mr. Paget remanded them for a week.

One of the inconveniences ladies will experience
who establish their "rights," and take to preaching, lee'
turing, and speech-making, may be that they will have
people openly speculating in print as to their age. \Vidal',
Van Colt, a celebrated Methodist preacher, is thus de-
scribed :—« She is apparently between thirty and thirty'
five years of
age, and was a member of Duane-street
Methodist Episcopal Church, which has recently Well
removed to a new house of worship in fiud3on-street.
Being an active, z?alous woman, she found a ready
outlet for her energies in the city mission work which WO
all about her. She was an able assistant to the Rev. 3.1 r.
Battersby, a city missionary, who has died within the
last year."

MISSING SHIPS.

Nothing has been heard of the United Kingdom, now
nearly two months clue from .1\;;:w York to Glaszow. The
agents of the Anchor line in New York still express theircon-
lidence in the safety of this fine vessel ; but grave doubt
must necessarily be felt rftcr this lapse of time. The United
Kingdom was spcken once, and after that heavy gales pre-
vailed off Newfoundland ,and icebergs were numerous. Other
ships are missing. The R. Mark, of Liverpool, which
sailed from Madras for Marseilles on the 27th of last
October, has been spoken once, and not heard of since.
The Vol°, of the United States, sailed from Cardiff for
Havanuah on the 14th of December, and is likewise

SPMITIJALIB3I.

The committee of the London Dialectical Society
have continued their investigations into the subject
of spiritual phenomena. It was said at the last
meeting that the committee intended to adjourn
until the autumn, when they present a report of
their lengthened inquiry. At the suggestion of Dr.
Edmunds, Mr. Home, the celebrated medium, was
asked to favour the committee with his experience.
lie said that he was the last person who ought to
give evidence, as the phenomena occurred
through him unconsciously to himself. Ile
was not, he said, •an imaginative man,
but sceptical. Living a life of excitement, his
mind must become harassed if he dwelt upon these
subjects, mid he diverted himself by going to the:Art s,
&c. In answer to iiiquiriea the process of the
communications, Mr. Home said that certain manifes-
tations only occur in a trance, which never happened
unless the people about him were "in a har-
monious condition." A member having asked whether

BELGRADE, June 25.

The session of the Skuptschina was opened by
the members of the Regency to-day. The presiding
membcr, in his speech from the throne, said—" It
would be incumbent upon the Skuptschina to dc-
chic whether a -new Constitution was a necessity
for the country. The Charter-of IS3B being merely
a grant imposed by the Sovereign, had ',mg since
failed to satisfy the wants of the people. In case
the Skuptschina should resolve upon introducing a
constitutional regime, the latter would come into
force after being duly sanctioned by the Regency."

Tim EXPLOSION AT HOUNSLOW.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Viscount Enfield, said there
was no permanent inspector of gunpowder works, but
where any demand was made a competent person was at
once sent to make the inspection. About three years ago
an inspection was made of the works at Hounslow, and
everything as far as safety was concerned was considered
highly satisfactory. The cause of the explosion, as far
as it could at present b 3 ascertained, as t'oere had
been no verdict yet returned of the inquest, was
that it had been occasioned by some accident
to the machinery. There did not appear to be any reason
for the apprehension of danger on the part of those per-
sons living in the vicinity of the works. There had been
no evasion of the precautions laid down in the Gunpowder
Act, neither was there any neglect on the part of the
local authorities.

SOLDIERS' DRESS.

The present uniform and clothing of our soldiers is,
it is stated, to undergo at once some altera-
tions, which will do much to remove the hitherto just
stigma on our nation as "the worst military tailors in the
world." The present tight tunic, which has so recently been
noticed as a source of disease, will gradually fall intodisuse,
eng, according to orders now to be published, reserved
for the Queen's parades and purely special occasions.
A loose, blouse-like, or " Norfolk," coat is to be issued
to the troops, which willbe worn on all duties, fatigues, and
parades usually comprised in the soldier's routine
of duty. A band running on the inside of
the coat will draw it into the figure, and add much to
its appearance. An improvement is also to be made in
another article, the shirt. About twenty specimens
are to be at once issued to each regiment for
trial and report. The material will be a mixture
of cotton and wool in equal proportions, and in
addition to the advantages of cheapness, lightness,
and lessened roughness, the quality of not
shrinking will be highly appreciated. The present
great-coat, which weighs as much as four pounds, will be
made much lighter, and it is also suggested that a water-
proof cape might be advantageously added, to be used
with, or independently of, the coat itself.

TiticE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
t'ic short exchange on London is 25f. 250. per £1 sterling
On comparing- these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 1;6.101d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is of high, r value in London than
in Paris.

The course or exchange at New York on London for bills at 69
days' sight was on the 14th inst. about O 9 per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

A TERRIBLE !WK.—JERSEY, Tuesday.—Three
metropolitan excursionists hired a waterman's boat in St.
Helier's harbour on Sunday, and went, as was supposed,
to row in the bay. They thought fit, however, to turn
Noirmont's Point, and rowed about seven miles to the
west. Here they were caught by one of the currents
which only practised sailors understand, and carried
towards the coast of Prance. They drifted about all night,
and, fortunately, tho weather, which has been uncertain
and shifty of late, continued lino. Next day, famished
and exhausted, they got towards the Jersey shore again,
and landed at La Rocque in a deplorable plight, owing
their lives to the excrptional forbearance of wind, wave,
and current. _ _

George Jewell presided at the meeting of the
Colonization Society, in Hartford, Connecticut, Tuesday

worth $30,000, which will carry 650 passengers, and a

speakers were Rev. Dr. Haight, Rev. Dr. 31.‘Lean, of New
Jersey, Governor Jewell, and President Roberts, of Liberia
(a coloured man, who has laboured 40 years in the work.)
He gave a very interesting account of the successful expe-
riment of a Republic in Liberia, and described the colleges
then as in a flourishing condition.

GOLDWIN SMITH IA CANADA.

The news from America cent; ins the fact that Mr Gold-
win Smith made a speech at a dinner in connection
with the Toronto University on the 11th. After speak-
ing for some time on university topics, Mr. Smith
is represented to have said:—The other day he
thought his position omewhat precarious. Ho was
afraid he wculd have to cross the line and take refuge
in Canada; but he was glad to see the thunderstorm was
passing rapidly away without do'ng any harm. He stated
England's cause, and for this had received a pretty full
amount of aline, especially from the press. But as
he was under the safe • protection of the British flag,
he might say that the American press is not universally
celebrated for its ittelligenee ; and cne of the papers that
imd bete partieidarly firres in its dettimeiation had the day
before had a hrilliant article bearing on the hat and boots
of a rival editor. He sincerely hoped the storm would blow
over. All ho feared was tho extreme virtue of some of the
politicians. It was possible that they might do something too
disinterested and sublime. Hasty progress in that direction
would lead to ccnsequences. The English are not, by any
means, ready to allow any one to have the honour of tramp-
ling their flag under foot. Englishmen (he proceeded) were
by no means too tenacious of their purse, but they wero
very tenacious of their character. Their money might be
wrested from them, but no one would take from them their
honour with impunity.

causes of the mortality at Barking and as to the chemical
state of the water in the adjoining ceeek. If a medical
inquiry was desired the inhabitants could communicate with
the Home-office, when the matter would at once be at-
tended to; but it did not appear at all necessary that a

TUE BIGAMIST BARONET.

that the Home Secretary, amongst his other mercies' j,
cigned a free pardon fur Sir Eardley C. EardleP
S
little while ago, as we must all remember,
lo
young gentleman was convicted of bigaroY, pol
.entenced to eighteen months' imprisonment ; selit'ld
which was regarded as a light one by those who follorej
the details of the case, and especially by those who belie i'
that on that occasion Sir Eardley was not tried iti:o
first offence as a bigamist. His release is said to have
dil
demanded on the score of failing health, which rencleiet
necessary that he should change the melancholy chol3ll
Coldbath-fields for the sunshine of Southern EuroPe'
so, then we are afraid Mr. Bruce has been imposed
and not only Mr. Bruce, but Mr. Childers ;
he happens to be a near relative of Sir Eardie„lo
would never have asked his colleague for the ceovio"
release had he not been persuaded that the young °lto
health was such as to demand instant change °fT. ate,
The truth is, that ever since his release, at anY,":8:1
he has shewn every sign of sound health and a ci'-dol
spirit ; moreover, the necessity of flying abroad f4e4
quite to have disappeared, and the design to be IPOI
doned. Of course, it maybe that the interesting crio,loo
is only waiting to redeem his promise of departure tw
