BONUS MEETING, 1867.
Tho Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3d
January last, for the declaration of tho Email BONUS,
showed, •

1. AS TO THE PROGRESS OF THE SOCIETY,
that, during the quinquennial period which terminated on
the 30th June, 1866,
NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181,
and yielding £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been
effected, of which sums the former exceeded by
and the latter by £2,392, the corresponding items of any
previous period ; that
THE INCOME had increased from £195,400 to £215,327
per annum ; and that
THE ASSURANCE FUND, after payment of £85,303
on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from
£1,422,191 to £1,619,339. £31,811,

2. As TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SOCIETY.
That the Assets on June 30,1866, were £1,619,539 14 8
And the Liabilities on the same date 1,343,708 19 2

Leaving a surplus of ............... £275,830 15 6

and that, after setting aside £50,000 as a special Reserve
Fund,
THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d.,
of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division.
3. As TO THE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION.
That the portion of this sum of .£225,000—viz., five-sixths,
or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a
REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES
of such
of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the
different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums
paid since
Bth ei;last
w divisionhieh
is;
thea exactndthat the
CASH oequivalent
Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent, of tho
like premiums.
The Report explained at length the nature of the In-
vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of
which, as above shown, are eminently favourable.

The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in
January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES
BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled
at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BATH MEETING.-TUESDAY.

The opening day of the above fixture was characterised
by cold weather, a bitter east wind blowing in the teeth of
the fair number of spectators who had assembled on the
course with the true racing heroism which was never yet
daunted by unpropitious skies. The proceedings corn-
.menced at two o'clock with the Lansdowne Trial Stakes,
which set the example for the miserable fields whin were
to follow; with only three runners. The marvellous
" miler" Ostreger made a terrible example of Crown
Prince and old Queen of _ Trumps, whose owners pre-
sumed to oppose him, as he gave them both weight and
cantered in 30 lengths ahead of them. The "sensation"
race of the day followed in the Fifteenth Biennial. This
race was thought so good a thing for Wroughton that
odds were freely laid on Mr. Cartwright's colt, upon the
strength of his having run the present first favourite for
the Derby to a head at Newmarket. Never, perhaps, was
there a stronger case_ of "misplaced confidence," as Mr.
Fleming's hitherto dangerous " outsider" for the "blue
Abend," won with the most ridiculous ease by 15 lengths.
This form certainly justifies his owner's enthusiastic re-
mark about the horse, after his recent victory at Ascot,
which was to the effect that " Van" was the best horse in
Europe. What can get in front of such a "clipper" over
the Epsom Downs on Wednesday next will be a puzzle
for the astutest turf prophet ever "foaled" to solve, not-
withstanding that as much as 12 to 1 was obtainable about
the slashing son of Van Galen. The Two Year Old
Biennial proved the "good thing" it looked for.Grimston,
who landed the odds of 100 to 30 laid on him very easily. The
Beaufort Cup resulted as usual in a great surprise, for not-
withstanding the form displayed by Moulsey, it was gene-
rally supposed that he could not get the distance, and as
much as 4 to 1 was betted against him, while 6 to 4 was
laid on Lecturer, who was beaten "into fits," thus show-
ing what a chance Lord Bateman lost of carrying off the
Chester Cup by one of those unfortunate scrimmages which
are sure to take place over the Rhoodee Course. Tumbler
gave another proof of his previous form in the County
Members' Plate, which concluded an interesting day's
'sport. As usual at this meeting there was some important
betting on the Derby. In addition to the movement which
took place in connection with Van Amburgh, some notable
speculation arose about Vauban and The Rake, the first
named recedingto as muck as 3 to 1, at which price he was
backed for £lOO, and would have been supported for more
money, but that 5 to 2 was only obtainable afterwards.
An offer was then made to back The Rake against Vauban
for an even thousand, which was accepted the moment it
was offered by the Duke of Beaufort, who subsequently
doubled the bet, and this emphatic support had the effect
of giving the Two Thousand whiner a call over The Rake,
their prices at the close being sto 2 and 3to 1. Beyond
these three animals none of the other Derby candidates
were affected, and except that 1,000 to 15 was taken about
Ben Nevis and Tynedale coupled, no other transactions
took place at the time. The details of the running are as
follow :

a good start. Alcazar, Whirligig, and the favourite lying
almost abreast, but after a few strides had been taken
Wroughton got quite level with Alcazar, who was about a
neck in front of Whirligig, Van Amburgh being fourth,
and Man of Ross last, and in this order they ran for about
half a mile, when Wroughton, Alcazar, and Whirligig
again got level, Van Amburgh being still in the fourth
position. After about half the distance had been traversed,
Van Amburgh drew up to the leaders, Alcazar and Whirli-
gig simultaneously dropping into the rear, and Van Am-
burgh, waiting on Wroughton to half way up the straight,
came away and won in a canter by 15 lengths. Man of
Ross was a bad third, Alcazar fourth, and Whirligig last.

with Goojerat with the exception of Excoller. As they
rounded the bend Vixen was beaten, and the Knight was

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL, SOCIETY.

1. An ordinary meeting of this society was held on
Monday evening at Burlington House. The presi-
dent, Sir Roderick Murchison, before the com-
mencement of the business, male some observa-
tions on the proposed arrangements for a tenta-
tive search for Dr. Livingstone. He said the Go-
vernment ha 1 been induced, on the representation
of the Geographical Society, to fit out an expedition
for the purpose, and that a boat had been ordered
to be constricted of thin steel plates and iron, espe-
cially adapted for navigation in shallow water,
which might be taken to pieces and carried and put
together again without much trouble. The expedi-
tion would be under the command of Mr. Young,
who had accompanied Dr. Livingstone on his former
explorations in command of the Pioneer. The ob-
ject of the expedition would be to ascertain whether
Dr. Livingstone had actually been killed at the place
mentioned by his runaway porters, or whether he
had passed on into the interior. If the latter were
the case there would be great hope that he was safe,
for be:would have entered a part of the country
where the natives were known to be friendly, and it
might be expected that he would accomplish the
object of ascertaining the level and direction of thd
Lake of Tanganeka, and whether it flowed north-
wards to the other lakes which were supposed to be
the sources of the Nile. Sir Roderick expressed the
hope that Dr. Livingstone is alive, and that-he would
yet return in triumph to receive the congratulations
of the society. This hope, he said, was strengthened
by a letter just received from Dr. Kirke, who stated
that a merchant at Zanzibar bad reported he had
seen a white man at the Lake of Tanganeka, and if
so, that white man could be no other than Dr.
report to make more particular inquiries.

at some length the geographical features of the
country which lies between Russia and our Indian
possessions. The Himalayan mountains bound it
on the south and a lofty range of mountains en-
close it on the north and west, in which only a few
passes lifford accessible approach to the interior.
Along the centre of the territory, from west to
east, there is a desert more or less barren which
is a continuation of the desert range from
Africa. Capt. Osborn pointed out the boundary of
the Russian empire, which had been gradually en-
croaching on Chinese Tartary, and he expressed the
hope that the Russians would ere long occupy the
whole of thatcountry, and introduce civilisation and
Christianity, where there was at present only bar-
barism of the most savage kind. He said he did not
apprehend any danger to our Indian possessions front
the proximity of the Russians.
Sir H. RAWLINSON dissented from the opinion
that it would be desirable to have the Russians close
neighbours in India, and he thought it desirable to
have an intervening mountainous and desert space
to act as a " politicalbuffer." He protested, however,
against the restrictive policy which discourages com-
munication with thenativesbeyond our Indian fron-
tiers, for he considered that by entering into com-
mercial relations with the people, and making set-
tlements among them in the manner the Russians
were accustomed todo, we would greatly strengthen
our position.

Sir R. MURCHISON said he had been accused of
Russian proclivities, but his good opinion of the
people was founded on personal experience ; and he
agreed with Capt. Osborn that there was no danger
to be apprehended from their .occupation of Chinese
Tartary. All the Russians wanted was to improve
their trade with China, And it could not endanger
our possessions in the south by allowing them to
have free access to China on the east. He said he

had much satisfaction in stating that the council of
the society had that day given their gold medal to
a Russian admiral for his important additions to
geographical science in Eastern Asia.
Mr. Ley and Mr. Saunders also made some obser-
vations on the subject, and the meeting adjourned
to the 27th inst., when the anniversary meeting of
the society will be held.

1 The annual meeting of the Convocation of this
University was held last evening at Burlington-
house, Piccadilly ; Dr. Storrar, Chairman of Con-
vocation, presiding.
Dr. CARPENTER, the Registrar, produced on the
part of the Senate the working plans of the new
building, and explained that it had been found im-
possible to produce photographic representations o.
the elevation, the original design for which was in
the library of the House of Commons. Mr. Peatic_
thorne, the Government architect, had shown a dis-
position to meet the views of the Senate ast to the
internal arrangements, but the Board of I'Vorks
would not allow any interference with their eleva-
tion. The original design of elevation was in the
classical stye, which Mr. Cowper, while he was at
the held of the Deprtment of Works, advocated,
but Lord John Manners, his successor, directed
that something in the mudiveval form should be
prepared for consideration. This having been
done, Lord John Manners requested him (Dr. Car-
penter) to let him know which style he would him-
self prefer. He disclaimed any right or intention
to speak on the part of the Senate ; at the same
time, he expressed his personal opinion in favour
of the mediaeval design. The Board of Works
accepted the suggestion of the Senate as to the
theatre, which, as now arranged, would accommo-
date 800 persons. He thought it right to offer tills
explanation, because the discussion which took place
in the House of Commons conveyed a very errone-
ous impression of what actually occurred.
Mr. W. P. O'REILLY, 8.A., M.P., presented the
report of the annual committee, which gave a his-
torical account of what had taken, place during the
year, anti, as the more important suggestions it con-
tained would be made the subject of future discus-
sions, he would not further advert beyond moving
them. He then moved the reception of the report
and the adoption of the following resolutions :
" That it beau instruction to the annual committee
for next year to co-operatelwith the Senate in every
effort that it may be thought desirable to make iu
order to secure the full and practical recognition by
the Legislature of the claims of the University to
Parliamentary representation. That, in the opinion
of Convocation,all persons who have passed the ma-
triculation examination in this University are en-
entitled to any electoral privileges which may be
accorded to persons who have passed any senior
middle-class examination of any University in the
United Kingdom." He explained that the object
was to obtain two members for the University, in-
std of one,
had shown which,
a as
the Chancellor
disposition to depart from the
mystic number of 658 members, he thought possible.
As to the second resolution, it merely proposed that,
of the Ex-
chequer
the educational franchise were adopted, the pass-
,
ing of the matriculation examination should qualify
in-
stead
wh
in regard to the right of voting in counties and
boroughs.
Dr. SIBSON seconded the motion, but, on the sug-
gestion of a member, the resolutions were separated,
and the first, after a short discussion, was carried.
On the second resolution being again read,
Mr. CREAK, M.A., asked the chairman if any
steps had been taken to secure a second representa-
-1 tive in Parliament ?

The CHAIRMAN said that a memorial went up to
the Government soliciting two members, and two
petitions were presented to Parliament. Lord Stan-
ley took charge of the petition to the House of

Commons. He said he would do it to satisfy the

Lord President, but, at the same time, he felt per-
suaded that there was no hope of their being able
to get more than one member. That was the state
of things when the late Government went out of
office. On the new Government coming in, the

feeling was that circumstances had not differed
from what they were a year ago. At the same

~: ~

time, when he heard it read in that morning's papers
that it was proposed in the Scotch Reform Bill to
give two more members to the Scotch Universities,
he felt that the University of London was surely
deserving of one more member, and that it would
be right and proper to bring the subject forward
again. There was one thing the house should bear
in mind. It was quite true that Scotland got addi-
tional members, but at the same time the Univer-
sities were united—Edinburgh with Aberdeen, and
Glasgow with St. Andrew's. He remembered it was
at one time proposed that tho University of London
should ba united with the University of Durham.
The question certainly well deserved consideration,
and if he were to suggest anything it would be that
the question should be referred to the committee as
soon as possible.

Mr. JULIAN GOLDSMID, M.P., referring to the
terms of the resolution, contended that to place
matriculation examination upon a par with middle
class examination would be to lower the character
of the University, and urged that the term
" middle class" was objected to by the Univer-
sities, and by those who were promoting those
examinations.
The Rev. P. SMITH said they were not discussing
the question as if it were a fancy franchise. Matri-
culation examinations were a test answering to that
of a middle class examination to those who did not
go on to the degree.
The CHAIRMAN said that the term " middle
class" had been adopted as being the term used in .
the bill.

The resolution was then carried.
On the motion of Mr. JESSELL, seconded by Dr.
MACKENZIE, it was resolved that the Senate should
be requested to concur in amending the standing
orders to the effect that every member should pay
an annual fee of 55., or a life composition of £l.
Notice of motion had been given that Convoca-
tion should accept the Supplemental Charter dated
April, 1867, but the CHAIRMAN explained that the
Charter not having yet been sent down to the
University, a special meeting would be called to
consider it.

Mr. J. ROBSON' then moved that it be an instruc-
tion to the annual committee for the ensuing year
to adopt such steps as they may deem advisable in
furtherance of the great object of obtaining for the
University a suitable building. The question raised
in this resolution was as to what would be a suitable
building. They had been told that they had no
right to interfere with the elevation, but he thought
that to be most preposterous. It certainly was ab-
surd that the Senate should be required to take what-
ever building might be prepared for them. The
annual committee had dissipated the delusion, and
had come to the conclusion that that idea was alto-
gether erroneous. lie feared that if they did not
bring Parliamentary influence to bear upon the ques-
tion they would be provided with a building which
would be an object of ridicule throughout the

country.
Dr. PYE SMITH said the University ought to have
a structure possessing dignity, simplicity, and re-
pose, but the scheme of construction proposed would
not have any one of those qualities so far as its ex-
ternal aspect was concerned. lie was, however, of
opinion that the internal arrangements would be
found quite suitable for all the purposes of a Uni-

versity.
Mr. CREAK, ➢I.A., asked whether any opportunity
was to be given to Convocation to express its opinion
in reference to the proposed University building.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the Crown pro-
vided the building, but had taken the opinion of the
University as to the accommodation required. Par-
liament, however, demanded last year that the de-
signs should be laid before the House of Commons,
and that in the meantime all proceedings with the
building should be stayed. The drawings were now
in the library of the House of Commons, but what
would be the result he could not say. In the mean-
while he thought the best course would be for the
annual committee to canvass the House of Com-
mons. If they could exercise any influence at all
they must go for it to the House of Commons.
Mr. P. SMITH moved as a rider to the motion the
words, " and endeavour to obtain an opportunity
for exhibiting the proposed plans and elevations of
the building to the members of Convocation."
The resolution was then put in its amended form,
and, after some discussion, was agreed to.
Some other business, chiefly of a formal character,
was then disposed of, and the Convocation ad-
journed.
