HENRY ROSE,

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2(1., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. 5(1. •, the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £134.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907.552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
ar by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
recurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :

BURSTII`fG OF A CANAL EMBAIYKIVENT.

On Sunday afternoon a portion of the embankment of
the Warwidi: and Napten Canal gave way. The water
rushed through the aperture into the fields and gardens
to the Avon. The breach occurred about midway
between the Emscote Bridge and the Aqueduct.
A. large portion of the embankment on the
Warwick side of the river, between 30 and 40 feet in
width, had been wholly washed away, and the water was
escaping through the breach until it had completely
submerged two or three adjoining fields and done serious
mischief to the crops and property in that locality. A
number of labourers Were engaged to stop off the water
by means of planks set down at the brieges on either
side of the scene of tiro accident. Before its completion
the waste of water had been so enormous as to reduce the
canal to the size -of a streamlet. The cause of the acci-
dent is alleged to lie in the construction of a three-feet
culvert, the excavations fur which beneath the bed of the
river were in course of progress at the place where the
embankment burst.

THE QUEE.II7B BA LzIIORAL BURSARIES.

A contemporary announces that the Queen has
appropriated £2.500 of the profits arising from the sale of
"The Leaves from a Jour: al" to establishing school
:mil college bursaries fir the benefit Of well-deserving
scholnrs'in the district round Balmlral. The deed of gift
is dated the lah awl proceeds on the recital
that her Majesty, "being desirous to commemorate
the happiness enjoyed by ourselves and our
dearly beloved Consort, his Itoya,l Highness the
Prince Albert, at Balmoral,. in some manner .that
may benefit the people of the district around our castle
and estate of Balmoral in the united parishes of Crathie
and Braemar, in the county of Aberdeen," " has
resolved to establish certain bursaries (to be called
the Balmoral Bursaries') in connection with the parish
school of Crathie and the school of Girnock, and the
University of Aberdeen respectively." It creates a trust
of the endowment fund, for the payment of three or more
bursaries of £5 each per
.annum to scholars at
the parish school of Crathie, or at her Majesty's
school at Girnock, and of three bursaries of £25 each
to students who_sbitll attend the University of Aberdeen.
The bursaries are not to be given in connection with
special education for any profession, in the choice of which
the bursars shall be quite free, the object being to assist
in procuring for the bursars the means of a thoroughly
sound general education of the best kind which the parish
school and university respectively can afford.

THE DISTUR.I3ANCES AT SEFTON
CHURCH,

On Sunday it was feared that the scenes which have of
late disgraced the services at Sefton Church would
have been repeated, but fortunately the disturbances
moderated a little. The disturbances seem to have been
organised by the lodge of Orangemen at Seaforth or Lieher-
land. On Thursday night last a meeting of the Litherland
lodge was held ostensibly for the purpose of collecting funds
for the prosecution of the Rev. Dr. Dawson Duffield, the
rector of Sefton, for alleged desecration in the chancel of
the church, but really, as has been stated by one of the
persons attending the meeting, to organise plans for annoy-
ing the curate in his ministrations, and to devise meansfor
doing so without bringing themselves within the
meshes of the law. Accordingly a number of
Orangemen, nearly all from Seaforth and Litherland,
and a lot of boys, who apparently did not know what the
disturbance was to be about, but went to the church to
stare and walk about, attended the morning service and
crowded the church and its entrances. Very few of the
regular worshippers at the church were present.
No interruption was made to the service until
near the conclusion, when Mr. Hawes turned
to the east at the hscription of praise. Many
persons then left their seats and crowded into the aisles
and chancel, walking about with their hats and caps on,
stumbling over the forms, making a great noise. Several
commenced hissing. For about a quarter of an hour Mr.
Hawes remained within the a:tar rails, waiting for quiet
to be restored before reading the prayer for the Church
militant. Shortly after the conclusion of this prayer Mr.
Hawes left the church, preceded by two police constables
and followed by other two. A crowd, hissing and shouting,
followed him to his home. The disturbances were
renewed, though not so violently, in the afternoon.

The annual report of the inspectors of mines has
been issued. There appears to have been 296,660 persons
employed in coal min'ng in F.nBland and Wales in 1868,
and 50,160 in Scotland. The quantity of coal raised in
Great Britain a.; 104,566,939 tons. There wet° 860 separate
!fatal accident , and 1,011 lives lost, the prop: tine of persona
emt loyel for s• p..rato fatal neeiden's hoing 403, and 343
tup'oyed to every life h st. Ev, 103,4:'9 tons of coal
raised a;•pev.rs to Lave costa life. Tcese operations were
carried on in 3,7 62 collieries. There were also C 9 lives lost
in ironstone mines.

Mr. Benjamin Whitworth, of Manchester, seems
likely to be accepted as the c“lleaguo with Mr. Evans as
candidates in tLe Literal interest for ihe mprescutation of
Stafford. Against him on his own side there are array, d
Captain Haver, Mr. trunport, and ethers. Mr. Cdger is
ttia heldirg forth in the working-man interest. Mr. Ke-
n, aly, Q.C., who contested Wednestury against lir. Brog-
den, the present Liberal mcml,er, hss annourced himsAf as
a candidate. Mr. Evans, in his address, calls himself an
indepen&nt supporter of the Government. It his been
already stated that Mr, T. Salt will be the Conservative
candidate. Captain Reginald Arthur James Talbot, Lord
ShrewsLury'sbrother, will (says the Pall 31a11 Gazelle) be
his colleague. _ _ .

The United S-ates of North America have :not
as Sot given their adhesion to the proposals of the Con-
veutiou of Geneva, for succouring sick and wounded
soldiers, and consequently they were unrepresented at the
International Conference of Berlin. But as the great Ame-
rican nation, by its generous sentiments and acts, as well
as by its eminently practical character, has long largely
contributed to the great work of benevolence which it is
the object of the International Conference to promote,
it was hoped the delegates of the American committees
of succour would be present at the Conference of
Berlin, and take a share in the cl.liberatione. As this
hope has not been realized, a d 'legate of the Central
Prussian Committee brought forward a motion at the last
sitting (27th April), which was adopted unanimously, and
signed by the representatives of all the societies. The
text was as follows: —"At the close of its session the In--
ternational Conference expresses its lively regret at having
been deprived in its labours of the most valuable assistance
of delegates from the United States of North Atnerica.
Being convinced that this great and lofty nation—as one
of the first of those who rendered the most eminent ser-
vices to the cause we are devoted to, will receive with
sympathy information of the results of our present labours,
wo desire that the printed records and documents of the
Conference be transmitted to the Government of the United
States, also to American Sanitary Associations for the
relief of sick and wounded soldiers. Berlin, 27th April,
1869. Signed—Dr. liopke (of the Prussian Central Com-
mittee), General v. Peucker, and Dr. Housselle."—North
German Correspondent.
Judge Pierrepont was sworn in as District At-
tory of New York on the 26th April, being introduced to
the Court by Mr_ Samuel G. Courtney, late District At-
torney. Judge Pierrepont was born in New Haven
County, Conn., March 4, 1818. In 1837 he graduated at
Yale College, where he took "an oration"—the first rank
iu his class. tie studied law in the Law School attached
to that University, and in 1810 removed to Columbus,
Ohio, where he became a partner of P. E. Wilcox, an emi-
nent lawyer of that city. At the end of five years he
came to the metropolis, where he continued in the prac-
tice of the law until the death, in 1857, of Chief Justice
Oakley, when he was elected to fill this vacancy. He
held the Judgeship for three years, and then resigned to
resume the practice of law. At the breaking out of the
war Judge Pierrepont at once put himself on the side of
the Government, and was an active member of the Union
Defence Committee. In 1862 he was placed on the Com-
mission with General Dix totry the prisoners of State
then confined in the various forts of the United States. In
1868 he became a member of the Constitutional Conven-
tion of the State, and during the late Presidential cam-
paign he was an weave worker in behalf of the election of
General Grant.
Mr. Henry ArCloskey died at the Insane Asy-
him in Flatbush, April 27. He was a well-known jour-
nalist, and formerly field the position of City Clerk of the
