The Pope is said to , have remarked in an
audience Wldch he . gave ,the. other L day to an
eminent foreigner, that, he was firmly con s
vinced 'the world would be regenerated by

bishops ivould have full liberty of discuision,
and said lie hoped they"wank' not abuse tins
privilege lly consuming •time in 'idle disputes.
It would be - - better, (his Holine4s added) that
all decisions :should be unanimous, but-in
cake, of Alifierence.s of opinion the question ;
Would be decided by the majority,
except . when the - majority happened
to be, insignificant. The - Pope,
however, indulges the hope that no divisions
will arise, believing that the Holy Spirit will
inspire the Conncii aml lead all its members to
act' in harmonv. He said that the ,Couneil
would lii, cailisi upon to adopt the Syllabus,.
some alteration being made in the paragraph
concerning the relations of the Climili with the
State. On different but Perfectly trustworthy
authority, it is stated that the.' Council will .
proclaim two dogmas: 1. The infallibility (per-'.
sonal, and independent of ail councils) of the
Pope . , "pea king ex cathoirci; 2. The amuniption
in spin and body of the 'Virgin Mary. l'ro

[Front thy London (Ontario) Free • Pres.. 23.1,
The arrival of Cdrainodere..Nanderbilt, the
celebrated NeW York railway mn4tate, and•
party, on Friday morning,. was the occasion
of loite a flutter of conjecture among the
ffil;(1 banes and 'gossips of the Forest City.
Ills every. movement ' naturally lit•
traeted alienation and'excited the
most wide and extravagant sur
mixes. EVery conceivable purpose, from
that of buying up the Great Western or, taking
a dip in the modern. Pool of BetheSda, the
Sulphur BailiS here, was discussed with villa
in] graVity. What did he Come here for, and
what did he ' *ant? Had it anything to do
with Sir Francis Hicks? Doubtful! Was it
in any way connected with the great corn
questi 011, or the inspection of the London volun
teers ? Not probable,and,indeed,every other
"conlectureseeMed at fault, especially that . cila
local contemporarY, in regard to his pursuit of
the Water cure. The Commodore preserved
the most vexations reticence; even his 'name
did not appear on the hotel register, and he
kept in religious seclusion in his rooms, as if
'under strict medical injunctiOn to avoid. per
Mcions drafts and the still more afflicting ef
fects of :Yulgar curiosity. But our little world
went to sleep', fatigued by the :heat of the
weather, and forgetful that so great a person
age as an eighty-Million dollar capitalist, with
his stocks, and his steamers, railroads and
river palaces, had even: paid us a visitpand
still more oblivious of its purpose.
Early on Saturday morning, however, the
_
great question was answered. And the an
swer was, that the Commodore had. merely
taken a temporary refuge in the respectability
and - quietude of the most flourishing city of
tilt:Dominion to Consummate a marriage with
'a yoang, beautiful and estimable lady, and
thus escape all the glare and heat, the fass and
feathers, the lace, vanity and oppressive stare
of the York fashionable world: And so
it came about that ` at 7 o'clock on Saturday
'morning, in aprivate parlor of the Tecumseh
Hotel, Commodore Vanderbilt was married to
Miss Crawford, daughter. of the late Mr. E.
CraWford, cotton-broker, of Mobile, .filabama,
lb-v.. W. Briggs; Wesleyan :minister of this
city, officiating at the ceremony. ,
The-gallant bridegroOm, 'whose summers are
seventy4iix, was dressed in plain black, wear
ing in his shirt, diamond studs of intense bril
liancy and great vahie. He is a noble-looking
gentleman, erect in fignre,• active •in move
ment, intelligent in , expression; and ;almost
courtly in bearing. As may be supposed fkoM
the fact of his years, his hair and whiskers axe
white; but he is so well preserved, even amid
all the cares and responsibilities : of his • posi
tion, that he looks to be not More than 61 or
i;2 years old. His bride is comparatiVelyyMing,.
being but years of age. :.She is of • Medium
height and symmetrical lignie,wearing Always
ah singularly expression of face, which
is one of gentle beauty. She was dressed in
simple traveling costume, and wore. a blue
Nail on her bonnet, which was not. lowered.

Among the witnesses to the ceremony were

I From the Livendol Jeutnal of Commerce, Satuitlayi
-toguet, 7,18694 .
The anituaL general meeting of the Shar
eholders of this Company was held yesterday
at the oflioes,lsorth John street.' Mr. Charles
Turner, X. Y., presided, and there was a large
attendance of proprietors.
REPO= FOR'THE-YEAR 1868.
Before entering upon a report of the results
of the business for the year 1868, your direc
tors have the melancholy duty:of recording
the death of Mr. Percy 3l,Dove,who occupied.
the position of manager and actuary of the
CoMpany from its establishment in 1815. Mr.
Dove performed the dirties de4;olving upon
him with a distinguished ability, and much of
the marked success which the - Company has
achieved may be attributed to the energy and
enterpriSe he displayed in its service. Mr.
John 11., 3l'Liti - en, I;3rmerly sub-manager of
the Company, has been appointed manager.
FIRE • DEeAnr3I.ENT.-The fire premnimV
for the past year amount to the sum of 1*475,-•
572 1::?s: 3d. 'c.3.2,377,860, in goldii and the fire
losses . to £2 9 9,901 17s. 7d. ($1,499,505; gold):
This ratio of loss; it will be, observed, is rower
than it has been for several years, but is still
considerably in excess of the experience of
the Company in its early history. The new
elements of risk which have been referred to
in previous reports, and the.decreased rates of
premium now prevailing, have both tended to
diminish the profits of fire insurance business,
and necessitated a More minute scrutiny of
the results of the various branches of this de
partment. is gratifying to report that, by the
practical application. of the results of these
and former investigations, the Company has
escaped during the year losses amounting to
.082,352 (;;411,740),. on risks which had, been
declined. It may, therefore, be reasonably
anticipated that a continued watchful over
sight of the business, and a judicious economy
in expenditure will secure, on an average of
years, a fair though moderate profit for the
shareholders; and it is satisfactory to add that
such a profit has been realized on the transac
tions of the past twelve months.: The total
amount added to the credit of profit and loss
on account of the British and general foreign .
business, including interest for the period,
:030,940 7s. (i45-1,701); . gold), while the profit'
realized in the American branch is .£26,342•25.
(4131,710, gold). The, abolition of the fire
surance duty Will have an important influence
upon this department, and :will, no doubt,
prove of much benefit to the country. •
LIFE DF.e.Aar:3.tr.-The result of the op
erations for the year in, this - departnient are
still More satisfactory. 1,569 new policies have
beenissued, es.suring; after the deduction of
guarantees, £703,172 8s: 6d. ($3;515,860, ghld),
'and the corresponding fiew premiums ..were
,E 21,528 (5107,640, gold); the renewal
premiums amounted to .£187,207 6s. 10d. (OA
, 035, gold), and the interest s ' from inveStmentS*
W:06495 FS.'2ll. (5180,975, gold). The kisses , .
for the, period have been, very_ moderate, and,
including payment of bonus additions, amount
to. £78,32,178. 2d:,:(5391.,(10, gold). For anntt
itieS and endowments:the purchase money and
preMiums received are .7C1.4,874 13s. ld. ($7 7 1,-
