MEETINGS-THIS DAY.

A public meeting of the London policyholders in
this company was hela to-day at the Whittington
Club to consider the present position of the affairs
of the company, and to take steps to protect their
interest. The lion. James Tobin presided.
Mr. HUNTER, the secretary of the investigation
committee explained the proposal to the directors for
the reconstruction of the company, and said the plans
were altogether useless and delusive, and, therefor,
they ought not to be accepted. From the figures,
he came to the conclusion that if the whole assets
of the company were realized only 2s. 7d. in the
pound would be the result. He believed that the
proposal of the directors was altogether a sham.
After some discussion, Dr. J. MORGAN said he
had a policy which was transferred frost the
National Guardian to the Albert in 1851, and
he had been paying to the Albert for 18 years. His
premium would fall due to-morrow—what he
wished Ao know was, whether he ought or ought
not to pay it, and to whom, when and where?

Mr. WEBB, the legal adviser of the committee,
said nothing had been done by the Albert yet to
break their contract, and therefore the hon. gentle-
man should pay his premium to the liquidator who
would pay it back in full if the company did not
go on or a reconstruct of it did not take place.
Mr. J. R. TAYLOR thought it would be the
height of folly to attempt reconstruction of the
company.

The CHAIRMAN then submitted the following re-
solution :—That this meeting is of opinion that the
plan of reconstruction of the Albert Assurance
Company, as proposed by the provisional liquidators
should not be acquiesced in by the policy holders,
that further investigatigation should be made, in
order that the policy holders should be en-
abled to frame their own proposals, and that
Mr. Kirby and Mr. Price should be superseded by
liquidator to be named by the policy-holders them-
selves, from whom a disinterested state of things
may be arrived at. • (Cheers.)
Mr. FERGUSON fully approved of the resolution,
but thought that it would be much better for them
not to pass the resolution, but to adjourn the pre-
sent meeting, in order that a Conference might be
had with the other committees now sitting in va-
rious parts of the country, in order that
a strong and united effort might be made to save
as much as possible for the persons who had the
misfortune to be connected with the Albert.
Dr. WHITE then moved au amendment that the
present meeting have confidence in the independent
investigation committee, but that a conference be
held with all the other committees in order to secure
strong and united action.

The amendment was then carried without oppo-
sition.

A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman
and committee, and the committee terminated.

A meeting of policy-hollers was also held at the
Guildhall Coffee-house, at which it was resolved
that the scheme of reconstruction of the Company
proposed by the provisional official liquidators was
crude and inequitable, and that it was not practic-
able for the meeting to frame any modification
of it.

THE ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.

The forbearance of the Commissioners at Bridg-
water has at last been strained too far ; one of the
witnesses was too contemptuous towards them, and
he has been visited with a heavy fine. A Mr.
Symonds told a tale very hard to believe, and being
informed by the Commissioners that the way in which
he had given evidence tended to make them distrust
the truth of his depositions, he replied defiantly that
they might believe what they liked, he didn't care ;
it was only the opinions of his fellow townsmen that
he valued. Ile was asked to retract his observation,
but he repeated it even more offensively, and was
thereupon fined fifty pounds. A great deal
of the sitting was occupied in cross-examining several
witnesses who have contradicted one another about
the destination of a sum of £lOO, which has
mysteriously disappeared. ABridgwater banker stated
that Dr. Kinglake, brother of Mr. Kinglake, the
candidate at the last election, obtained £l,OOO from
him to " purchase the election" for his brother.
At Beverley the proof is now clear and unmis-
takeable that the nrinicipal elections were made by
the Liberals a means of gaining votes at the par-
liamentary contest. Last year the parliamen4-ary
election seems to have been purer than usual,
unless, indeed, matters were done more quietly.
There were none of those rampant rumours
of bribery which generally flew about. At Norwich
the commissioners are still pursuing a very hard
task, with little satisfactory result to themselves.
They have obtained evidence, however, of numerous
cases of bribery.

DR. CUMMING.

The last broadside of the Weemlinster Gazette
editor is answered by an immediate fire from Dr.
Cumming. The editor spoke slightingly of the
doctor's Latin ; the doctor declares that the editor's
reasoning is " worthy of the genius of Ignatius
Loyola." Probably the Roman Catholic writer will
not consider himself harshly treated in being com-
pared to the founder of the Jesuits. But touching
the point at issue—whether Dr. Cumming, in com-
mon with other Protestants, is invited to be present
at the Council—the ex-interpreter of prophecy really
has some argument on his side. Archbishop Manning
thinks he is invited, and so does Sir George Bowyer.
Surely the opinion of these authorities is not to
be despised. But again, we ask, why not rest con-
tent until the Pope's answer comes ?

FATHER IGNATIUS.

The Rev. Mr. Lyne, in explanation of his lecture
on the Reformation, writes a funny letter, which
the Telegraph prints exactly as the rev. gentleman
wrote it, with " cd " for " could," " & " for " and,
" obt " for " obedient." Father Ignatius's epistle
may soon be summed up. Ile thinks the fact of
a " bad man " so obvious that lie
fLetlitt
te Luther's
grmbeecienssary to make the statement in his lec-
ture. Wickliffe is a " disreputable ancestor." The
Reformation was anything but a blessing,
both in the social and religious sense. The monks
were the greatest benefactors of mankind, One of
them discovered gunpowder ; is this the reason
why Mr. Lyne thinks so highly of the body ?
Father Ignatius, however, succeeds in proving some-
thing by his letter, which skews clearly that before
he pursues his investigation into the benefactions of
the monks a little enquiry into the nature of the
English language would not be amiss.

TUB BOAT RACE.

Mr, 'Milan, the bow oar in the Oxford crew, con-
curs in the decision of the judge that the Inter-
'atonal lace was won by about a length ant.
three-quarters. A little way from the fiagboat the
Dxonians were four or five lengths ahead, but the
nterposition of a row-boat caused them to lcse a
.ength. Then they did not reach the flag-boat at
;he point where they expected to find it:—

I myself looked round and could see nothing of it ; we
even called to some people in a boat to know where it was,
end they said they could not see it ; so we paddled on and
eventually came to it, so far on that we kept on grumbling
end talking as we rowed, and I even said to Mr. Yar-
iorough, " I vote we stop, for I am not going to row much
*urther." All this time we were rowing leisurely, as the
:ace was safe ; but the Harvard men were still rowing on
lard with that pluck and determination with which they
:owed all through the race, and it may, therefore, be
•eadily conceived that they gained on us considerably, and
he "fiat" of the judge is doubtless correct.

WESTMINSTER.

NEARLY 200 TIMES IN CUSTODY.—Elizabeth James, 73
soars of age, a docrepid old charwoman, who has been
between 160 and 170 times at this court , for drunkenness,
was again charged before Mr. Selfe with being drunk and
incapable of taking care of herself.
Win. Barnet, 51 B Reserve, proved finding the prisoner
in Broadway at middle-day so drunk, that she was 15 or
16 hours before she was sober.

The daughter of the prisoner said she would take her to
Drentford, where she and her husband lived.
Mr. Webb, the usher, said one morning the daughter,
her husband, and the prisoner were all charged with being
drunk.

Inspector Holmes considered the daughter as bad as
the mother; he believed the prisoner had been over 200
times in custody.
Mr. Selfo said the prisoner was 73 years old, and was
perhaps the greatest drunkard in the metropolis ; but he
hoped ho should never set his eyes her again, and that her
daughter would take care of her during tho short time sho
had to live.

The poor old creature limped out of court expressing her
gratitude to Mr. Selfo.

PEERLESS PARISHES.

Norfolk county in one respect holds an honourable
pre-eminence in the province of Canterbury.
It contains 127 parishes and townships which
possess neither public-house nor beer-shop—a larger
number than can be claimed by any other
county in the Southern province. Lincolnshire
comes next with 116 ; Dorsetshire is close
behind with 108 ; Gloucestershire has 83 ; and
Leicestershire, 80. Hertfordshire has one beerless
parish or hamlet ; Devon and Cornwall figure low on
the list with 23 and 25 respectively. Altogether, in
the 32 English and 12 Welsh counties embraced by
the province of Canterbury, there are about 1,300
places in which no liquor is sold, - •

s-. THE NORWICH FES IVAL.
The Musical Festival being held at Norwich is
progressing. The concerts with which the proceed-
ings have been opened are not spoken of very highly.
Mr. Peirson's " Hezekiah" was produced at 010
of them, but made a v ery unfavourable impression upon
the Times musical critic. Mendelsehon's " Reforms'
tion Symphony" was made an introductory piece, sni
spoilt by the late arrivals. The Times correspondes
informs his readers that he has been in
suited. Mr. Barclay, who gives no address
except London, writes him a letter enclosing £2O
of
notes in order to influence his criticism on some of
the peformances. " Mr. Barclay is desired to all at,
the Times office for those notes, which will
delivered to him after he has described them, tun'
given their numbers and his address."

TIIE GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPHS.

Mr. Dickens's All the Year Round, in an article
headed " St. Martin le Grand's Adopted Child," ex-
presses approval of the transfer of the telegraph
lines of the country to the Government, and enters
into an explanation of the arrangements which
Mr. Scudamore is making for utilising them.
The writer states that three kinds of offices
will be established—offices of deposit, sub-telegraph
offices, and head telegraphic offices. In the first-
named, messages will be received ; they will also be
collected in straggling districts by the post messenger
and the mail-cart driver, The sub-telegraphic
offices will be in connection with a " head-centre,"
from which they can be sent all over the country.
The chief offices will act like the General Post Office in
the case of letters—will "forward" messages collected
at the minor stations, and by them obtained at the
various depositaries. The shilling rate, first to be
tried, will not long continue, this writer thinks ; but he
is entirely satisfied that it is a good one with which
to begin. He is of opinion that the increase from the
sixpenny rate which will be made in some cases—
the metropolitan district, for instance—will be
balanced by the reduction made for long distances.
The money-order system which it is proposed to
establish All the Year Round also approves. It
points out that the custom of telegraphing money
is prevalent in Belgium and Switzerland: The plan
used is simple, and very much like that which at pre-
sent prevails with our post money-orders. Two similar
forms have to be filled up in the same way by the
remitter ; they shew the amount of money to be
sent. The postmaster receives these cards and the
money. He stamps one of them and gives it back
to the sender, to add anything he may wish by way
of telegram. It is then sent to the telegraph office,
and the receiver, by applying with the telegram
at the district post-office, obtains the money.
London, England, 1869-09-03

FRIENDLY SOCIETIRS.

Mr. Tidd Pratt'sreport on English friendly societies
chews that the process of dissolution goes on amongst
these bodies as rapidly as ever. During the year
1868 not fewer than 180 friendly societies gave
notice of their intention to cease business.
Instances of bad management are still
numerous. Many complaints arc made that
members or their widows and children cannot
get their claims paid. This grievance is specially
common in the case of burial societies. In most
cases the only mode of recovering the money is to
apply to the arbitrators in London ; but as the sum
insured is generally small, it is not worth the while
of the claimants to do so. Excessive expenses of
management are still very common.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quota►ion of gold at Paris is about at par, and
t Ie short exchange on London Is 251. 15c. per Ll sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
Ca ►ia. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is nearly 1-10th ;dearer in London
than in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at Go
days' sight was on the 30th ult. 1091 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the transmission of gold from the United States.

Vice-Admiral R. L. Warren, Commander-in-
Chief at the Nore, arrived yesterday afternoon at
Chatham Dockyard, in the Admiralty steam yacht
Wildfire, and after inspecting the extension works
at St. Mary's Island, transacted official business at
the dockyard.

IRISH LAND.

Sir John Gray, M.P. for Kilkenny, in a series of
articles on the land question, advocates the legisla-
tion of that " fixity of tenure " which prevails on
the Lurg:m, Downshire, Erne, and other large
estates throughout Ulster. This province has
a larger proportionate agricultural population and
a greater number of small tenant farmers than any
in Ireland. "It is continually referred to by Irish
landlords for the industry, order, and content that
prevail among its people." Fixity of tenure
is the rule on many of the Ulster estates,
but it has never been enjoined by law. Sir
John would apply the principle to the whole of Ire-
land by Act of Parliament. But in order to Pre-
vent the change from converting the landlord into a
mere rent-charger, the member for Kilkenny would
add a proviso, guaranteeing such increase of rent as
the increased price of agricultural produce may
warrant.
THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY,
The committee appointed at the meetini, of the
Altocrt Nice 14v-4914 p, recCAPY 4914 4a19449p,

recommend that their constituents insist cn
the stoppage of litigation, as the only
means of preserting the assets and of settling
matters in a reasonable time. They are of opinion
that the policy-holders should adopt the principle of
reconstruction, but should not pledge themselves to
the details of the scheme put forward by the actuaries.
These authorities think that of the £324,000 which
the uncalled capital amounts to only £150,000 could
be realised ; the committee believe that a better result
might be attained. Policy-holders whose premiums
are due are recommended to pay them, for the pro-
visional liquidators are authorised by the court to
receive them, on the distinct condition that " they
shall be returned in full if no satisfactory plan for
tha reorganisation of the company be settled, or
other provision for its assurance liabilities be made,
on or before Ist January, 1870."

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPEY.

Sir William Thomson announces an important
discovery touching the art of laying submarine
cables. Ile has found a mode by which a fault
existing in the coiled part of the cable on board ship,
scarcely recognisable as an incipient flaw, will make
a sudden and decisive indication after it passes out
of the tank, and . before it reaches the pulley at the
stern. The alarm will thus be given in time to stop
the cable and remedy the defect.

ENGLAND AND THE COLONIES.

A circular was recently sent round purporting to
come from the Royal Colonial Society, and an-
nouncing the intention of its authors to convene a
conference of representatives from all the colonies in
order to consider their position in face of
" England's desertion." It now turns out that this
circular, which the Times thought " marked an
epoch in our history," never came from the Colonial
Society. Lord Bury, the president, writes to the
effect that the gentlemen who signed the circular
were fellows of that body, and used its rooms ; but
they alone were responsible for the production, whichwas not official. Earl Granville writes to the same
purport. The gentlemen referred to had an undoubted
right to use the rooms, as they were fellows
of the society ; but their publishing a communication
which was calculated to mislead does not appear
altogether justifiable.

without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition tel this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 8,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the

711 E OVEREND AND GURNEY PROSECUTION.

The further hearing of this case was resumed
this morning before the Lord Chief-Justice, in the
Court of Queen's Bench, at Guildhall. The ex-
citement was not so great as might have been ex-
pected, considering how much the case has at-
tracted public attention during the interval between
the examination of the defendants before the Lord
Mayor and the trial. But few persons had assem-
bled in Guildhall-yard and around the doors, and
when the Lord Chief Justice took his seat on the
bench the Court was not more than half full. The
evidence offered to-day was principally documents,
and altogether the proceedings wero far from in-
teresting to the general public.

IIAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. Tho premises now occupied aro crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible oven to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted 'n the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to can y out this much-wished-
