Country litannlisles.—No. 2.
BY CITY C01701t7, Je.
How pleasant, after a long, tiresome ride along a
dusty road, to see the rude sign of the village inn
looming up before you on the brow of the lan. Its
white walls and green shutters, with Its long porch,
bid you hasten to its refreshing shelter. Nearer,
and more nearer you approach the desired haven,
you closely examine the rough painting on the
alga:Amid, and find that you are at the Liming
ville Inn, kept by Frank Augur. On one side is a
rude p a i n ti ng of a sloop or yacht in full anti, While
on the reverse is what is supposed to be a trotting
nag at fun gallop. But here you are at the porch;
ytu endeavor to shake off the dust from your feet,
and remove it from ycur garments; the landlord is
eh allay behind the bar slotting pleasantly upon you;
you otter into conversation with him relative to
the hot weather and the latest war news. After in
duipitg in some refreshments after your tedious
.trip, you seat yourself on the porch and take in at
a glance all the surroundings of the place.: fmtne
diatele in front of you is the post office and village
store, .A group of females have been slyly watch
ing you einem your arrival. They appear somewhat.
confused when you drop In upon them at the store;
and Inquire for letters and papers. Of course, the
papers are ready for you, as the people have been
expecting you for a fortnight. Various have been
the speculations among the village as to your busb:
Lees and object in coming among them. Your name
they have become : acquainted with already—but,
hark I the tivanging hornlof the stage coach is heard,
and the mall is expected by it. Everybody is anxious,
and wondiring about the most Improbable things
with regard to the war, the latest fashions, and the
new tax law. Expectancy Is stamped upon every
visage, and the coach soon makes it appearance.
The mail bag is thrown off on the stoop, the driver
waters his horses, and is off again at full speed to
his final destination, while the postmaster has se
cured the precious bag with its valuable contents.
How slowlyehe reads the directions. Here Is a poor
woman waiting to hear froin her son who has not
been heard. of since the last . battle. Here are be
trothed brides blushingly waiting for expectant
messages from their loved ones in oemp ; here is the
farmer waiting for his check for fruit furnished his
agent in the city ; here are little boys and PM who
expect nothing, but merely ask if there is anything
for them, bemuse everybody else asks a similar
question.. At last the mail is assorted. Here is a
paeliege for /dr. —. You seize upon it and
tranamlt it to your pocket; and so on, one direction
after another le called out, the paokages are mwerly
grasped, and the' store is slowly emptied . 'off is
anxious-waiting crowd, carrying - along with them
messages of joy and sorrow, peace and war, into
the domestic circle. You retrace your steps
towards the inn, partake of a slight repast, and
once more resume your seat on the porch. Now
the farmers and laborers' gather together at the
tavern to hear the latest war-news or discuss mea
sures to avoid the coming draft. You are invited
to participateln the discussion, but: ;Maine, prefer
ring to be among the audience rather than an actor
in the scene. What a place for rumors is a village
situated on a. stasteecoach route. How the most
brilliant victory to converted into a defeat, and how
a small reverse is magnified ! Would you believe it
The sayings of Jell' Davis are attributed to President
Lincoln ; and rumor also says that Linooln's soldiers
will wade up to. the knees in blood in the city of New
York rather than they should avoid the draft. These
reports are ciroulated by the sneaking, cowardly
Hopper : heads from York State who travel in this
cinity, who dare not express their treasonable lan
guage at home, 'but who ellaust themselves
in the pine woods of Jersey, among a class of peo
ple who very seldoin see the leading publications
of the day, and Who depend for their /Minty budget
of news from the stage-driver, who, in nine cases
out of ten, is as coppery as the majority of his pas
sengers. Getting tired of the discussion, you
retire. Yon awake, earry in the morning, and
are somewhat surprised at the number of Vesta
who have arrived over night. The landlord in
forms you that there lean important case to be tried
to day. You determine to remain over and observe
the proceedings of the village court. At the ap
pointed time we are ushered into a long, nar
row ream in the amend story of the inn,
which Is nearly -filled with countrymen,, in every
cormeivable style of drest; some without coats, and
their shirt-sleeves rolled up ;"others without shoes,
and their pantaloon tucked up; some carry riding
whips,- others puffing volumes of smoke from their
brier.wood pipes. The case Is about to commence.
The Squire has taken his seat at the end of a long
dining table, et/voted with a white cotton cloth.
The lawyers, pro and
,con, are on opposite sides;
the plaintiff, defendant, and witnesses, sit in close
proximity. ter Ihefr counsel.;. the-plaintiffs -rvanzels
palled ; she her evidence 5 how the defend.
ant did permeate-her, and promise to marry her;
how he bad broken his plighted vows, and damaged
her reputation. Then the witnesses are examined,
and crosaexamined, and the proceedings are fre
quently Interriipted by purste of laughter from the
listening assemblage, who have come to have
a little fun at the expense of the plaintiff
and defendant. Did you ever hear a country
lawyer spread himself? Well, !it was one Or the
grandest sights I ever witnessed. Imagine, if you
please, a tall," stout, sunbrowned Individual, with
fiery red bair and whiskers, with a deep bass voice,
descanting at length on the merits of the case. How
his eye twinkles with pleasure at each outburst of
applause from the gaping multitude ; what a high
opinion the assemblage has of his talents ; how he
tears aside the veil of modesty, and presents every
thing to the astonished and delighted auditory in
all its naked,, and hideous deformity. But he
hag. concluded,' amid a grand burst of oratory to
the departed shades of Washington and Bunker
Bill, and, pariting for breath and covered with
perspiration, he takes his seat. . His oppo
nent, a small' pale-faced individual, who ap
peers more like a country school.teaoher than a
lawyer, now arises. He confines himself to the
merits of the cue in a gentlemanly and mild man
ner; but he is not as popular as his predecessor.
He forgets, or entirely ignores-the existence of an
American eagle or a star-spangled banner, and
Calmly collects his evidence and presents it to the
justice ; but, alas, the justice is mortal, and allows
the decision to the counsel that has gained the
greatest applause from the audience. • The Case
having been settled, and our bill having been simi
larly disposed of, we are requested to take a seat in
a carriage that will take us to within a few minutes'
walk of a circle of friends who have... Peen expecting
us over a week ago, and who have pretty nearly
come to the conclusion that we have disappointed
them. Bet here we are in their midst. After kind
greetings end answering several inquiries, we take
a stroll along the beach, and aeon plunge into the
arms of old Neptune, who embraces us with his
fond, frowning, tearful, and foam-lashing breakers,
Old ocean, how I love thee I Ever since my boy

Most Reverend Arobblehop McCloskey, which took
place at St. Patrlek , a Cathedral, Nen York, on
Sunday inerninEr,ls taken frain the ihoount pub-
fished ID the New York..Vaily Newt : • .
Yesterday the Iwtollation of the new Incumbent
of the AI el.bishoprie was performed before an titm•
memo congregation assembled to witness the im•
purse g scene, and listen to the grand' anthems pre
pared tor the occasion. For many days before the
ceremony toot place, the committee havAtt charge
of the arrangements were applied te by thou
sands of 'persons for tickets or admission to the
Cathedral, but as these necessary ..signs manual
were limited, many were ditappointed in being
unable to obtain admittance. _ .
_
The Cathedral was thronged ; the Innate was all
that the beat talent could make ~it; the decora
tions of the altar were very imposing; the grand
MUM was highly Impresai a° ;, the sermon of tie
Archbishop was remarkably apprOpilate to the °One
atop and full of eloquence.
OUTSIDEjTRIE OATEIEDRAL,'
The rain damped the enthusiasm of that portion
of the public which would have aaseinbled In
crowds, had the weather been flue, to see what that
could of the ceremonies. Moreover, the great at
traction for those who had not tioketS of admission
. „
to the chthedral was prevented by the rain alto
gether. There was no procession from the archiepis
copal residence to the sacred edifice,
and no portion
of the spectacle could be witnessed from the f treet,
but the passage of the clergy and acolytes through
the vestibule of the Cathedral. Still, about. a thou
sand persons gathered on Mott and illulberry and
Prince streets, and many more filled the windows
and housetcps In the neighborhood; where a possible
chance of outranMg a passing view of the -proceed
ings could be obtained.
As early ae half past eight o'clock. the people
commenced to assemble In front of the main entrance
to the cathedral, on Mott street, and at .half past
nine, the time appointed for the openlng•of the
doge -the Street was crowded with carriages, while
the sidewalks were covered by the anxious and ep
pentant ones who were fortunate enouglitezhave
Outlined tickets. While the people were coming
into the church, et. delegation ,of the, citizens of
Albany, Intimate friends of the Archbishop, were
conducted to Beata which had been prepared for them
at the lelt ride of the sanctuary.
There were no extra decorations throughout the
body of the church, but the tabernacle and altar
were appropriately and beautifully ornamented
with floc era and candelabra, In which were lighted
tapers of fine white wax.
At the lett of the sanctuary was the episcopal
Chair, covered by a richly carved canopy of walnut.
At the right end, or Epistle side of the altar ? was a
table t on which was placed the Sacred Species,
covered by the chasuble, while on the right end, or
Gospel side, were the pontifical robes of the cele-e
brapt, and on either end and In front of the me
toad were placed chairs for the clergy;and acolytes.

caption at the southern and middle aisles,' which
were kept clear, the reverend clergy and attendants
having robed themselves in the vestry, at the left
side of the altar, formed 1n procession and', entered
the Church through the sanctuary, and prodeeded
down the left aisle to the vestibule, and thence to
the middle door.
The robes In which the bishops were Vested were
of the richest description. The vestments of the
Archbishop, superior in point of rlchnesslo •all the
others, were Mcleod splendid. A large, yellow satin
"cope," with 'fringings of solid gold around its
" edges, and pending from the cape, and plentifully
spangled with gold and silver, enveloped the vest
ments he wore underneath, wh ich were also of the
costliest material. Ills mitre, of similar. color and
texture, contained rare and costly jewels. which
Bashed peculiar brightness as he passed up the
eastern and down the main aisle, in the procession.
In his band he carried the crozier," or sheptierfi's
crook, typical of his high. position se guardian or
the Rock, both of clergy and laity, committed to his
care. The crook portion of this was of gelid gold
while the staff was of costly metal, deeply-plated
with gold, and highly burnished. The episcopal
ring on his fir ger was set with a pure diamond.
The vutreents of the priests were of a rich and costly,
cLa racier.
As the procession entered the sanctuary, the eler•
gy commenced the chant Benedictus qui'venit In
nomine Domini," Rev. Dr: O'Brien being chief
chanter..
InscRiPTION OP TIM INSTALLATION ONNEYONiss,
Whemthe head of the procession had reached the
main entrance of the Cathedral, the holy water and
incensebearers and the pontifical cross bearer halted,
and allowed that portion of the procession interven
ing between them and the Archbishop to file past
them, on either side, up the centre isle, to ward the
high altar, the organist meanwhile executing a
charming voluntary. As •soon as the Archbishop
and canopy bearers, passing through the , centre
door had reached the vestibule of the church, - there
Suddenly burst forth from the full choir and organ
the grand 7's Dell7n, by Lloecta.
Before crossing the vestibule' the Archbishop re
calved the aspersorium (or vessel containing the
holy.water and sprinkler) from the hands of the
Rector of the Cathedral, and passing slowly up the
main aisle, a abort, dista.nce toward the high altar,
administered the asperget, or sprinkled with holy
water the congregation on either side of him; - Pre
ceded by the cross•bearer and ace Ives, the proces
sion. thed moved up the aisle to the sanctuary,
where the attendant, clergy took place within the
railing on both sides of the altar steps. Having
passed through' the gateway of the communion rail,
and reached the lowest step' from the altar, the
Archbishop knelt, till the choir had finished Slag
lag the Te Drum. when he Intoned the veralcle!
Beeedicanius Petrels' et Falun+ ' cum Samna
Spirito, (let us blessthe Father,.theSon, and'Holy
Ghost.) To which the choir responded : Laudamua
et superexa Remus Rum in moults. -(Let us praise
and extol Him forever.)
The prayers , prescribeitualebeing-for. -
- therprdsperity el rislfildtf, the sanctification oe the
acts. of the Archbishop, and asking for the blessing,
of God upon the archdiocese; were then clia.fited by
the Very Rev. Father Stan - s, who • officiated as as
sistant priest, and at their conclusion the Arch
bishop, was conducted to the throne.prepared for
him on the left of the high altar. The privilege of
conducting the. Archbishop rn these occosiens be
longs to the two senior prelates of the Province.
They are Right Rev. Bishop Timon, bishop of the
diocese of Buffalo, and Right rilev. John Loughlin,
bishop of the diocese of Brooklyn. The Right Rev.
Bishop Tfinon being selected to celebrate the so
lemn high mass of the day, however, his position as
co-conductor with Bit hop Loughlin was supplied
by the Right Rev. Dr. De Goesbrland, bishop of the
diocese of Burlington, Vt.
Archbishop Spaulding, of Baltimore, took his seat
on the same side of the altar as Archbishop IlicOlos
-key, near the throne. The other Bishops sat on the
opposite side, near the pulpit.- Being seated on
the throne the senior, prelates then received from
Archhishonaleeloshey thanew lecum,or kiss of peace,
and in turn gave the same to each 'other, when the
aemainingbishops approached the throne and re
ceived the pax, and administered the same among
themselves as was previously done by the senior pre
kites. The reverend clergy then came forward to
the foot of the throne, singly, and made their amt.
Ss riee by kneeling and kissing the episcopal ring.
This obeisance having been paid, the clergy having
retired to their places on each side of the altar,then
sang in unison the anthem of the saint under, whose
protection the church had been dedicated to divine
worship—being in this case, of 000rse,the anthem
of St. Patrick. After this was sung, the Archbishop
descended from his episcopal throne, and proceeded
to the front of the altar, where he chanted the
prayer of St, Patrick; then ascending the steps, he,
made a genuflection before the blessed sacrament,
and' turning round toward the people, he solemnly
gave the episcopal benediction from the middle of
the altar, both Olergy end laity kneeling to receive
tt, after which he returned to the throne. .
THE SOLSIHN HIGH MASS.
Solemn High' Mass was then commenced - by the
Right Rev. Bishop Tinton, who officiated as cele
brant,. arrayed . full , pontificals. Owing to the
length of time. occupied by the installation, it was
tulip half past eleven o'clock before Bishop Timon
comnienceu the mass, Archbishop McCloskey stand
lug on the dais of It e throne. After the reading of
the gospel of the day the Archbishop descended
from his throne and proceeded to the Vestry, where
be was disrobed of his canonicals and re-entered
the sanctuary, vested only in cassock, surplice, and
cape. lineeling before the altar while an anthem
was sung by the choir, he then ascended the.pulpit,
and turning to the vast congregation, commenced
hls address as follows

highly, a lather, whom you loved so long and so
well, was taken 'rem you. The joy of your lives and

To the Editor of the New - York Tinter:
I ask permission to add a few words to the manly
letter or Prof. D. H. Mahan, in the New York Time
of August 19th which refers to General BuelPs re
signatiurt. This General first asked to be relieved,
01 his command because it was, according to him,
contrary to military etiquette to serve under an of
beer holding 11 commission of more recent date than
his own; and after this he resigned altogethervbe
cause the politics of the Administration do not suit
— ES to the etiquette, the refraCtory General ought
informed be inlored that in his case no question of
etiquette presented itself, but on the one hand, a
question of regulation, of existing military law, and
on the other hand, aguestion of military ethics
high military morale and honor. it is a Very.pro
per regulation in every modern army, that where
-several officers of equal rank are brought together,
he that has the oldest commission Shall take com
mand over the rest, if the higher authority has not
epecially assigned the command to one of these
officers of equal rank. The regulation is natural ;
it is simply resorted to to avoid that worst of things
In war—want of command—a headless state of
things ; but war is too serious a. thing ; the fortune
el war often depends upon too delicate turns, and a
people's Interests ate too grave and sacred to per
mit the principle of seniority, good enough for the
common run of things, but without Inherent life or
energy, to thwart the earnest objects of so terrible a •
thing as war is. Indeed, in our army only, where
the American ease, so, common in all our affairs,
prevails in no slight degree, are these constant re
quests of being relieved admitted in flagrant war.
What would Wellington have done, or Napoleon,
or Frederick the Great, in such • circumstances I
Their reply to such requests would have been very
shot t and somewhat sharp, and probably have ended
with some-such word as arrest and severe' trial;
possibly with a pretty Fredericton Comment on the
term etiquette, compared to honor. -
The reeignar,tcan..9PeekeXL,Abii -that:
-tbsrAdreisti gm - relieves pnricipictsriot approved
tit by the resigning Meer, seems empty toambunt
to en outrage. The soldier belongs. exclusively to
1:18 nation, and especially so in times of war, His
individuality is merged in the public danger, as
touch so as a thernan'a Individuality is of no im
portenee whatever when he works at the engine to
stop a conflagration. It was adopted bymniversal
consent in the Prussian army, in 1813-1815, that no
officers had a right to" fight a duel during the war,
but must leave It to the time of peace.' This was
right, if duels ate permitted at all. DO we educate
our West Point men, to serve in war and peace for
their country, with, the proviso If the full-blown
cadet agrees with the Administrationl If an Ad.
ministration does that which an officer does not ap ,
prove; of, as citizen, he has to consider, that he
does not serve the Administration, but his country,
whose political organization has produced this Spe
cial Administration. It thisorganization, thissystem
of government, does not suit him, he must leave,
in time of peace, the country, but not in war, onoe
having entered it. as little moral right to
do this, as a foreigner, having taken service under
our flag, and having sworn allegiance to the coun
try, would hare to give up his place again, as pri
vate or es officer, because the course which the Ad-,;
ministration pursues does not stilt him; becauee,
perchance, he does net choose to serve with black
suldlera, although all European Governments em
ploy them, if they can get them: A man who should
leave his post'on such grounds in the midst of a bat
tle would be .shot. Well, then, there is no intrinsic
difference as to the principle of this course of ac
tion, between an actual battle and the state of war
in general. Whether you guard a barrel,of pots,
toes, or are on a forlorn post, whether you tight or
cook the dinner for your comrades, whatever duty'
you perform in war is equally Important, and you
do it for your country, even as the Christian does
whatever he does, torthe sake of his God, if he does
it in the true Christian spirit. -
Serve your country when she le 'in danger in
whatever capacity she wants you, or permits you
to light or work for her. -

There. is'but one.point taken in Mr. Pdatianle let

has never voted, because persons connected with

The following resolutions, which were adopted,
among others, at a meeting held in Fort-Wayne,
AuguStl3; were advocated in 'speeches If
Possible.still more treasonable :
That,by a wicked and blind Administration and
its Abolition supporters, we have neon unwillingly.,
forced into a war, the avowed purpose of widish is to
abolish slavery, and the only result of the further
prosecution of which will be ruin and eternal sepa
ration •, and that we view- with alarm the fact that
2,600,000 of our kinsmen haVe already been called
out, and a large majority of -kem slaughtered, and
we have still hanging over celY bead a merciless con
scription, and enormous, ruinous taxation. -
That we are-more than ever convinced of the
truth of the doctrine o' the Democracy, asserted at
the outset, that war is not tbe remedy for attempted
secession or disunion •, but is disunion, and eternal
separation, itself. Therefore, weare in favor of, and
demand of those in authority, a cessation of hostili
ties, and the (sallies together of a convention of all
the Stales to settle upon suchterms of peace as shall
be to the best interest of - the old Union; and to the r e
honor and dignity of all the people.
That we know that Abraham Lincoln, the Presi
dent of the United States, has again ontraged'the
people and degraded 'the nation in the eyes of the
world, by spurning the opportunities for peace o&
fared by distinguished Southerners and confidential
agents of the confederates, and by unwisely and
wickedly Thrusting before the world contrary to the
Constitution, his doctrine of Abolitionism as the rd
timaturd of a pease between the sectione. Also,
that his position puts a new, and more dangerous,
and more disgraceful phase upon the war; and .110
bold him responsible before God and man ferns fur
ther prolongation, and upon him rest the crimes
end all the horrible sins that are attendant upon
- the;prosecution of an unjust and unneceSsary
war. •
That lit view of these facts, we declare the pro.
posed draft for 500,000 men the most damnable of all
ether outrages that have been perpetrated upon
the people by this Administration; and we further,
declare that the honor, dignity, and safety of the
,people demand that against ruin and enslavement
they must afford to themselves that protectioa
which usurpation and tyranny deny them.
That' we - condemn the action of the Federal au
thorities in the recent - Kentucky election, In arrest
ing on the eve of election day the candidates upon
the Democratic ticket, and In compelling their
names to be stricken from the poll-books; and we
now vam the Abolitionists that in the attempt to
, perpetrate a like violation of law and rights in our
state, there will surely come a conflict between the
people and their uppressors that those in power
will do well to avoid forcing upon us. We are law
a bidirg citizens, but we are neither slaves nor cow.
ards, and we will defend our rights at all hazards.
That we are opposed to the draft, and that we cell
upon the Democracy of all the States to sustain us
in cur declaration—and if fight we must; we shall
fight for the Constitution and the Union, and will
never give any aid or assistance to the
of this unholy and unconstitutional war. We are
for peace, and determined to have peace, and that
we earnestly pray that the President shall revoke

York Post of last evening says:
The increasing demand from abroad for our Go-
Vernment securities continues to enhance their
price. A number of foreign houses have in hand
large orders for the five-twenties. The ten;firties
also, it is reported, are likely to be in demand for
European markets. We learn that at present the
unexecuted foreign orders for national securities
amount in the aggregate to ten millions of dollars.
Feseenden has not determined as to the pro
posed issue of fifty millions of five twenty bonds to
enable him to pay off the .socumulating• arrests of
unpaid reqiisitiona. Aa soon as - the deelsion is
made the public will immediately be apprised by
advertisement. In consequence, however, of the
pressing wants of the treasury, and the scarcity apd
rapid 'absorption of our securities at home and
abroad, it is regarded as certain that an early Issue
of gold. bearing bonds will be possible on terms un=
usually favorable to the national treasury.

TIT% HOSTTLE 11.1lits2f8.--The Chicago Tribune
says : The evidences of widespread trouble and
de
llberate and banded hostile intentions among tee
great Indian tribes on the plains are thickening
with every arrival of news from the border. Front
piesent aspects, It Is quite certain that the scattered
settlers are greatly exposed, and many of the hardy
pioneers must perish or be driven hick , Into the
:states. while a sudden chill will fall ripen emigre,-
tion and overland travel and traffic. Our despatch
es from Washington say the idea of a general In•
dian war is not credited at Washington. lithe sub
lime art of not• believing exciting news, and pooh.
•tgalhing at all startliniklatelligence, fanny prase
'don to public Interests , that branch of our national
defences Is well attended to at the capital, and oil- •
cial circles can be said, in this respect, to be •round
towers of 'lmpregnable defence. UnTortunately,
however, official Incredulity will not harm the red
skins ; neithir will It, in other cases, help us out of
other pressing national perils, though as now moot
liberally , applied."
The opportunity of another annual igrosrtgattoss
•of the affairs of the Royal Insurance Company
having DOA taken piece, the directors proceed to lay
before the shareholders the results and conclusions
which it affords.
In the Fire Branch an Increase of business kw
been realised, not only larger than the average
amount of the oast years of the Company's exist
ence, but exceeding in amount that of any one year
hitherto.
The premiums of the year reach the sail of
£841,668 3s. 2d.. beingan advance of L 10,071.18. 84.
over the preceding year.
The report for 1859 rave the increase of each year
for ten years, commencing with the year 1850. The
largest advance in these successive • periods wax

The premiums have thus been enhanced in four
years by £113,853158. 11d., the largest amount of
increase having been obtained In the lest year,
The test provided by the amount of duty paid to ,
Government furnishes, as heretofore, corresponding
evidence of the. progrese of the Royal Insurance
Company. The increase by the payments made for
the year 1863 is far larger-than at any former
period.

Among the Incidents which have tended to the
advancement of the Royal within the last few
months may be reckoned its action with respect to
the losses sustained by the explosion of the Lotty
Sleigh . , which, although only consistent with the
general tenor of the conduct of the company, and
ultimately proved to be no more than what had
been done in former times- by the oldest and moat
proverbially honorable among Its contempotaries,
yet. attracted attention and public favor by its un-.
hesitating promptness.
The publication, under parliamentary sanction;
of-the balancasheets of•insurance companies, has
proved another source of advantage to thts es's,
Whin:tient. The analysis of these
_accounts, which
has been completed apparently by an accomplished
hand, places the Royal Insurance' Company in the
highest position, both as a-fire and life establish
ment,-liaid exhibits its- comparative prominerrey
with reoect to all theother companies established.
under thei act of 7th and Bth Viet, in an equally fa
vorable light, whether its . accumulated capital, its
premiums, or the ratio of its expenditure be made
the subject of inquiry.
It is further. a pleaSirg duty for the directors to
state that the result of, the year, as represented by
the profit accruing during the period.presents a.
precisely parallel result to that of the amount of
the premiums received. As the largest total of re
venue and the largest ratio of progression have been
attained In the present year, so it happens that the
largest profitwhich has ever fallen to the directors
to record has likewise •on this occasion to be an
nounced.
This favorable position of your an - sire is obviously
, due, in a great measure; to the fact that the /0881501
of the last year have amounted to a less per can cage
of the amount of the total premiums than for any
like period daring the eleven preceding years. The
present year, 1864, however, on the contrary, shows,
. so far as it has passed. a far more unfavorable expo
rience, the claims. of the last seven months being
very considerably above the average amount for
like period of time. The balance to the credit of
profit and loss, on account of British and foreign in
surances for the year, is £67.775178 3d. ; and on they
American account 41.5,90 9 is lid.

. .
The fluctnatiens in the exchange- between thill
country and America, referred to lathe last report,
having recently become still more violent., sudden,
cud excessive than at that time, the directors feel
assured that the shareholders will concur in the
propriety of laying aside the profit of this branch
for the year, to be dealt with in the same way as the
amount of its profit for the preceding year.
The progress of the life branch, as shown by the
new business transacted in the last year, is most
premising as. regards Ita future prospects of de
velopment. The advances made, year by year, in
the amount of new insurances effected, show
clearly the estimation in which the com pany ig
held. The following is a statement for the lest fiver
fears:

This rapid groaith, amounting' to 73 per cent. on
the sum assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the
premium received, in the course of live years, may
justly be considered as larger than any which could
have been reasonably expected. The half year of
1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase in
dicated by the Agurea just quoted, as the sum as
sured for Ihat period of fdlY months only actually ex.
reeds half fb million sterling.
The rate of mortality . , llfewise, still presents
highly favorable features, and argues well for the
result to be shown by the quinquennial investiga—
tion ~ which is to take place when the present year
Is concluded.
The life assurance accounts further exhibit a suns
of £80,025 178. Sd., added to the life funds in the
year in 1863, being . an , amount equal to 64 per cent.
on the net premiums received daring that time. To
this sun, mnat be added the increases made In tie
balances to the credit of the annuity and endowment
funds, making a further amount 0r.£26,026 6s. 7d-
The life and annillty.flinds are therefore augmented
by the large sum.of ..£106,052 4s. 3d. in the limit O B
