THIRD EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, ss'ix-a'cck,

ITALY.

A Naples letter, in the Anzi de la Religion, says :
The commander of Gaeta, who was a prisoner
on parole in this city, has just been assassinated at
midday in a street near the Toledo ; his arm was
first of all broken, and afterwards his skull smashed
with a club."

The Italie says :—'f As soon as the official noti-
fication of the new title of King of Italy, assumed
by Vietor Emmanuel, shall have been made to the
English Government, M. d'Azeglio, Minister
plenipotentiary at London, will take the title of
ambassador, and Sir James Hudson, English Mini-
ster at Turin, will do the same."
Among the petitions which have been sent to
the Italian Parliament, praying for the recall of
IVlazzini from exile, the Unita Italiana, the Maz-
zinist organ, publishes one from the celebrated
composer Verdi. now a deputy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY AT A SALE Roo3l.—James May, a young
man, described as a glass-blower, but who refused his ad-
dress, was charged with stealing a watch of the value of
£5, the property of Mr. Randolph Btinghall, grocer, of 194,
Ring's-road, Chelsea.

The prosecutor said he was in a sale room in Oxford-
street the previous afternoon, when he felt a tug at his
pocket, and missed his watch, and charged the prisoner
with stealing it. The crowd was so great that prisoner
could not leave. The watch was picked up and handed to
him.

Alfred Pike, artist in hair, of Dove-court, Leather-lane,
said, while in the sale-room he saw the prisoner take his
hand out of the pocket of his Inverness cape, and drop the
watch from his band, it striking his (witness's) foot in
falling. He picked it up and gave it to the prosecutor.
Prisoner asked him if he had seen him drop it, and he told
him that ha certainly had.

Thomas Jacobs, 182 C, proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and Welsh, the gaoler of the court, having stated
that he was well known, the prisoner, who reserved his
defence, was committed for trial.

Just previous to the above robbery notice was lodged at
the Marlborough-mews station of another watch robbery at
the same place.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LATEST CITY BETTING.

The betting in London yesterday was principally con-
fined to the races to take places at Northampton next week
the Stakes being the chief event speculated upon, owing to
the acceptances for Earl Spencer's Plate having to be de-
clared during the afternoon. For the latter event Spanish
Fly, Lupellus, Spicebox, and Zitella, were those most in-
quired for, anything over 6 to 1 being taken freely about
the first named, while Lupellus was backed for a let of
money at prices varying from 100 to 7 to 12 to 1, the latter
odds being scarcely obtainable towards the close of the even-
ing. Spicebox and Zitella were each backed at 100 to 6, and
20 to 1 was offered, bar four, Ellerton, who was supported at
the Corner on Monday, at 100 to 8, receding to the odds
named. For the Stakes, Horror maintained his position of
first favourite, 10 to 1 being taken several times, though an
impression was abroad that the stable had been forestalled.
King of Diamonds had friends at anything over 100 to 8,
the odds offered against Sister to St. Albans, and 100 to
6 was taken about The Rap and Danae, Man-at-Arms
going to be knocked out at the price of 50 to 1, double
those odds being laid once or twice. Avalanche was
nominally at 15 to 1; if a. couple of points mare could
have been obtained, she would have been supported for a
lot of money. The other races at Northampton were scarcely
touched, though there were several inquiries about King of
Hearts (a youngster in the interest of Lord Stamford) for
the Althorp Park Stakes. The Chester Cup is noticeable
for the support awarded to Man-at-Arms, and a higher
price than 100 to 7 could not be obtained, 9 to 1 being
offered against his stable companion, Chere Arnie. There
was no change in either the Derby or Two Thousand.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TVESDAY.
There was no lack of subscribers at the rooms to-day, but
the business transactions were not extensive. For the
Northamptonshire Stakes, Sister to St. Albans had sup-
porters at 100 to 8, and offers were very free against Horror,
but the support given to the Sister to St. Albans was all
that we saw booked for this event. For Earl Spencer's
Plate we saw only one animal backed (Lupellus 11 to 1
-taken); rand any•price was offered against Thunderbolt for,
this race. The paltry nature of the Derby transactions
scarcely needs a passing comment. The Two Thousand
Guinem found more employment for the metallics, as
Klarikoff, Diophantus, and nearly all the horses quoted had
a fair share of support, but Overton was in most force. The
latter remark is also applicable to Thunderbolt for the City
and Suburban Handicap. Closing prices :

LORD PALMERSTON.—The following is the ad-
dress which Lord Palmerston has issued to the electors of
Tiverton, soliciting re-election :—" Gentlemen,—Her Ma-
jesty has been graciously pleased to confer upon me the
office of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and, although
there is no salary attached to that office, yet there are some
local advantages connected with it, by reason of which its
acceptance vacates my seat in the House of Commons. I
have, therefore, again to offer myself to you as a candi-
date for the high honour of being one of your representa-
tives in Parliament ; and I trust that the manner in which
I have performed my duties in the long course of years
during which you have honoured me with your confidence
may justify me in now respectfully asking of you a renewed
proof that your confidence has not been withdrawn. I
shall in a few days have the honour of attending upon you
at Tiverton ; and, in the meantime, I remain, &c.—
PALMERSTON."

IMPUDENT ROBBERY. Yesterday morning,
shortly after the premises had been opened for business,
some daring young tlief impudently entered and took a
valuable oil painting in a gilt frame, of no small dimen-
sions, from the front window of Mr. Wilcox, the picture
dealer of Wardour-street, Soho. A tradesman residing
near the spot, who had noticed the painting when exhibited
in the window, saw a boy walking off with it in the direc-
tion of Oxford-street, but supposing from the careless man-
ner in which he went along that he was employed as a
porter by some one who had purchased it, no suspicion was
excited, and the daring scamp escaped with his booty.

RELIANCE AND EAST OF ENGLA.NID LIFE
ASSURANCE' COMPANY.

ANNUAL ,MEETING.

The ordinary annual meeting of. the members of this
association was held yesterday- at the offices, .71, King
William-street, London-bridgb, for the purpose of receiving
the report of the directors for the past_year,,and for the,
election of directors and auditors.
Henry T. Priusep, Esq., chairman of the board of direc-
tors, presided.

The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed,
The CHAIRMAN called upon the secretary (Mr. Edward
Butler) to read the reports of the directors and actuary,
which were as follows :

" The directors, in placing before the members the ac-
counts and transactions of the past year, are happy in their
ability to point to the continued prosperity of the society.
" 395 policies were issued in the general department—the
amount assured being £146,270, yielding £5,048 ss. 4d.,
annual premiums. £6OO was received for immediate an-
nuities, whilst the total receipts in the year, for premiums
and interest, amounted to £34,469 4s. sd.
" The claims by death have been comparatively few, viz.,
—in respect of 18 lives, and for the moderate amount of
£5,,124 19s.

After providing for these claims--the payment df annui-
ties and bonuses—the purchase of policies—and discharging
all current expenses, a sum of £14,801 17s. 9d. has been
added to the accumulated funds of the society.
" The members will bear in mind that every three years
that portion of the general fund in excess of the sum neces-
sary to meet existing liabilities, is distributed among them,
less a prudent reserve for fluctuations, in mortality. The
last distribution took place in 1859, and the next will occur
after the general meeting to be held in 1862. The recent
valuations of the actuary show that the existing liabilities
are amply covered by £95,594 25., whereas the assets are
£114,686 ls. Bd., thus leaving the sum of £19,091 19s. Bd.,
as the surplus since the last distribution, to be held in
account for the next division of bonus.
" The directors have taken steps, and are pursuing them,
for securing to the society energetic and trustworthy agents.
Their efforts have met with considerable success, but in
this respect there is yet much to be done. They are, how-
ever, sanguine that in due course the society will be effi-
ciently represented throughout the kingdom, and their
business, in consequence, largely augmented.
The directors retiring by rotation are John James, and
John W. Lay, Esquires, Major Skianer, R.A., and the Rev.
Arthur Pearson, M,A., who are eligible for re-election, and
offer themselves accordingly. Charles Phelps, Esquire, is
the retiring auditor; and John T. Abdy, Esquire, LL.D.,
who has on previous occasions filled the office, to the satis-
faction of the members, is a candidate for the vacancy.
" The directors refer with pleasure to the report of the
the actuary, and take this opportunity of aeknowledging
the services of the agents, and the valuable assistance ren-
dered by many of the -niembers.—
" On behalf of the Board,
" H. T. PRINSEP, Chairman.

ACTUARY'S REPORT.
" Reliance and East of England, March 4, 1861.
" Gentlemen,—l beg to submit herewith detailed valua-
tions of the soeiety's policies in force on the 31st December,
1860, the totals of which are as follows :

" GENERAL ASSURANCE.
2,308 Policies, assuring £854,588, inchl-
ing bonus .. Net Liability, £70,234 16 0
" INDUSTRIAL ASSURANCE.
636 Policies assuring £9,729 Non-partici-
pating.
" ANNUITIES IMMEDIATE AND DEFERRED.
87 Policies assuring £4,310 on various
contingencies Net Liability £18,734 14 0

3,031 Policies Total net Liability £95,594 2 0
" These calculations are based, as at the preceding inves-
tigations, upon a 3 per cent. rate of interest for the assur-
ances ; the annuities, as of more limited extent and dura-
tion, being computed at 3i per cent.
" The difference of value between the risk and office pre-
mimums, not included in the above estimate, but to be
brought to account as realised, amounts on the present
occasion to £85,359 12s.
" The average ages of the lives assured are not unfa-
vourable to the societx„ a moiety being under 40 years, 65
per cent. under 45 years, 80 per cent. under 50 years, and
less than 6 per cent. exceeding 60 years.
" The claims during the past year have bean singularly
light, not amounting to one half of the sum • estimated at
its commencement as the probable mortality among the
members of the society for the period under review. You
will, however, with your accustomed care, see in this ex-
emption from anticipated loss, an additional cause for re-
taining full provision against adverse fluctuations of vitality.
" Sincerely congratulating you upon the satisfactory
state of the society's affairs, I have the honour to be, with
much respect, gentlemen, your very obedient servant,

" E. OSBORNE SMITH, Actuary.
" To the Directors of the Reliance and East of England
Mutual Life Office."
