seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by-
viz £134.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Ss. 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 is. Od.,
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
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred 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
per cent. on the total income.

FOREIGN NOTES-.'

THE D. PUBLICAN' CONSPIRACY IN ITALY.

According to the Italian papers, the Republicati plot at
Milan was destined to break out on the morning of the
18th. On the preceding night bombs and arms were to be
distributed to the affiliated. Some of these were recruited
in the ranks of the 21st Regiment of the Hussars of
Piacenza. " With much sagacity," the authorities dis-
covered a large deposit of arms in the house
of a cook and lodging•house keeper. Here was
found the plan of attack and the documents.
Another centre of the plot was found in a house at Vier-
ziere. Some persons greatly compromised were arrested •
there, and amongst others two men who had arrived from
the South only a few days before, and who passed
under false names. One of them bad escaped
the pursuit of the judicial authorities of Naples, •
to whom he had been denounced as an orga-
riser of republican rebellion. In their possession
were found large sums of money which their
apparent position did not seem to warrant; one of them •
even offered .C-10 to each of the guards who had him in
custody if they would let him jump out of window and
run away. The Opinione says that twenty-four officers
and 200 other individuals were Concerned in this scheme.
The general plan was to seize or poniard—lt is uncertain
which—all the civil authorities and military officers.

CAR:BALM AND SPA.N.
General Garibaldi has addressed a trenchant letter to
Seflor Garrido, one of the leading Republicans of the
Spanish Cortes. The Italian patriot is very revere on
the policy of the majority in setting up a monarchy on
the ruins of Isabella's throne. He praises Dom Fernando,
and hopes that his refusal will be a lesson to the leaders
of the revolution ; that Spain will speedily be delivered
from this masquerade of the frogs in the fable. To de-
mand a king just when the Spanish nation is disgusted
with sovereignty is not very creditable to a people upon
whom the enslaved races of the Continent count so much.
" Is Spain so barren of great men that you must go about,
like Diogenes with his lantern, seeking for a "man"
over all the face of the earth ? Have you not Espartero,
Orense, Castelar, and others? Name one of them dic-
tator, or king, if you are so partial to the title ; but name
him at once, and not at the end of two years." The letter,
which is rather lengthy, contains more to the same effect.
Altogether it is a smarter and less violent compoaition
than somerof thetGeneral'orlate epistles.
THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF WORKMEN.

The wisdom of the proceedings instigated by the Inter-
national Society of Workmen is more than questionable ;
but there can be no doubt as to the extent and power of
its organisation. The society brought about two strikes
in Switzerland, which held out for some time. It has suc-
ceeded in producing an alarming suspension of industry
throughout Belgium, although the workmen in this case
appear to have been almost entirely without resources. It
is believed to have something to do with a strike which
has just broken out at Nice. It has started a journal, en-
titled the People's Voice, published at Vienna, in the
society, and demanding universal suffrage, a free press, full
religious liberty, unlimited right of meeting, and the sup-
pression of permanent armies. Beyond question the
society is able to command considerable obedience to its
mandates, and it is not improbable that it may shortly
give the industrial question in Europe a very formidable
aspect.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO. THE CRIMEA.

Never before, perhaps, has any scene of conflict preserved
its distinctive features so long as the theatre of war
round Sebastopol. The bleached bones of some warrior
turned up by the plough, bullet marks on surrounding
objects, the rusty material of war lingering in obscure
nooks, are the only traces to be found on the scene of most
great battles. But the ruins round Sebastopol remain
almost as the Allies left them. On their arrival on the
10th, the Prince and the Princess of \Vales found that time
had 4-3 Le very little for Sebastopol. The town still pre-
serves the same shattered appearance. The marks of
projectiles are visible on every hand. But a small portion
of the town has been restored, and that only in a patch-
work sort of way. The docks and fortifications are in the
same dismantled condition. The Redan, the Malakoff,
the long line of Russian redoubts and of British and
French trenches, crumbled by time and weather, are
untouched by the hand of roan. The royal party remained
in the Crimea until Thursday. On Monday, the 12th,
they inspected the north side, and visited the Alma,
returning to Sebastopol by sea. On Tuesday they went
over the ruins on the south side, thence to the trenches,
next to the most melancholy relic of the contest, the
English cemeteries, and a ride down the slopes of Inker
mann to the Tehernaya completed the round. Balaclava
and the more distant places occupied the remaining
days.
