LLANBERIS. FATAL ACCIDF.NT On Monday last, shortly after 10 a.m., liS the train loaded with slates, was leavingthe Quarries for Felinhcli, a frightful accident ocetirred, caused by one of the trucks running off the rails, by- whch the life of a quarryman named Hugh Jones, liv- ing at Waenfawr, was lost. It appears that shortly after passing a very dangerous part of the Lake, about on, mile on the line, one of the trucks ran off the line thereby breaking the chain to which it was attached, thus causing the other trucks to be thrown off the i-ails the jerk threw the deceased off the truck he was sitting upon, and the others behind ran over him, and caused instant death. The poor fellow had a short time previously received an express message to hasten to his dying mother, who it appeared expired about the same ti,ne as her unfortunate son was killed. It is melan- choly to relate his widow is enveloped in trouble, for a short time since her little daughter was burnt to death, hy her clothes catching tire. She is now left witbtwo orphan children, and is an object deserving sympathy.

THE REPORT, which had previously been circulated amongst tbe share- holders, and of which the following is a copy, was taken as re.d Report of the D rectors of Provincial Insurance Company to the Sevtnth Annual General Meeting-or the Progrietora, held, pur- suant to the Provision? of the Deed of Settlement. on Wed. ncs<Uy, 29th of February, istit), at the Wyonstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham.

In moving this resolution it is not necessary that I should occupy any of your tinulioseeing that the statement and the report are very satisfactory indeed. In making my first appearance amongst you as chairman, it is very satis- factory to me to have a statement and a report of such a character—to find that the company has advanced, and that its prospects are excellent. You will find by refer- ence to the report that the new policies in the- fire de. partment number 4062, and the premiums payable thereon amount to E5,948, whereas in the year 1858, the new premiums amounted only to 1784. If we look to the Life department we have also very satisfactory state- ?if? dep;he new premiums amount to 94,573 against £2,714 in the previous year. There is also an annual income of £ 30,000, while in the year 1858: it was £ 19 000. I am sure this is very satisfactory, and as far as we can see the prospects are just as good for the en- suing year. You will excuse-me making aremark which bus no reference to myself, but to the other directors. This progress to which I have alluded does not at all belong to me, because of tbe short time I have been con. nected with you but the first time I attended a mpeting of the Board, I saw how the directors transacted business, and I compared it with how T. had seen things done at other boards, and I felt the greatest confidence in the success of this company. (Applause.) The skill, the care, and the good common sense displayed by the di- rectors in every matter brought before the board' made me feel that if any concern in the country could sacceed, it would be this one. I have great pleasure in making this remark, because I think it right to make known the great ability of these gentlemen. (Hear, hear.) I be- lieve we may look forward to an amount of success in future, quite equal to that which we have bad in the future, rhere is just one item of which I wish to make special mention, and that is the first item in the fire de- partment. The duty paid to government is 96,210. Now I think it a most desirable thing that th}s ? ?6,210? be discontinued. I believe it would be to the interest of such companies as onr own that some effort should be made to have that duty removed, that we are now obliged to pay. As it is now. that duty must be paid on, all in. sured property except farming stock, which is exempt. I The duty paid to government for insurance is much greater than most people are aware of. This £6,210 would not be gain to us, but would go to those insuring; but then I believe it would come into our pockets by an increase of business. You see we are taxed twice over; first when the Insurance is effected and then for the stamp, there is both the stamp and the duty against all insurances against fire, except for those offorming stock, «hich is exempt. I hope the board will at an early day take some steps to obtain a repeal of the tax. Tbis year is a very marked year in this country. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has brought in a budget, which is something like the ushering in 01 a new eta in the history of this country; and this company has laid the founda- tion of a building, so that we will not only have a name but a place of existence in Wrexham, that will be con- spicuous to all tbe world, and will show that we are in a very flourishing condition indeed. I shall not occupy your time longer, but move the resolution which you have already heard. "^Letters ?'re received by Mr. Dillon, the Secretary, from Sir. Watkin W. Wynn, Bart., Colonel Middleton Biddulph, Hon. W. H. Yelverton, Huge Owen, Esq., R. C. Rawlins, Esq., apologising for their unavoidable absence. a b ?rT T. Ga'FftTH in seconding the resolution said, I see an erasure in the resolution which 1 am to second, which is that the report bhould be printed and circulated, and that erasure I consider a very great improvement, as we are not to wait for the meeting to receive the re- port and statement of accounts, which have already been printed and circulated, and every shareholder has had a copy before the meeting, thus affording to each share- ho der an opportunity to come here to ask any questions he may think proper, or say anything he may think con ducive to the interest of the company and therefora must say that I am glad to see these erasures. I think it if extremely satisfactory to have heard what our Chair- man ?as sai? and I believe I may say without offending him that few gentlemen are better ab e to come to a pro- per judgment as to whether business is properly conduct, ed than is Mr. Barnes. I believe after what we have heard we shall all be well satisfied and we have much reason to continue our confidence in the gentlemen who have carried on our business in the way in which we have i heard they have done It is not necessary for me to en- un ?e subject of the report, for, had there been any n?i?v Mr. Barnes would have done so, but without being a man of figures, I can at once see that we are in an exceedingly prosperous state. We all very well know that our directors and our agents, and more especially the excellent secretary, have done all they cou d-have made every exertion-have spared neither trouble nor expense, in extending the business, yet, much as has been accom. nUsbed they must not rest. We cannot say, now that you l?ave worked well, you can go to sleep and content ?ours?vcs.and all will go on very well, no, we can say noin n?ke that, for the very life and soul of an Insur. a?nce ?mpany is never to know rest. t is only by un- tiring exertion, such as has been shown m our own case t?hat "ccoommppaanny y can succeed. I have just been over our ss1»s?, lis:«j thue u foundation walls and ever?ng on the ..i.serve( laid good and sound for .thne esXuperssttrruunctu ure. ? and think the past seven years of this Company's existence has been emblematical of that bbmuttEdmg. ? T?h?'" o?dation has been well laid, and good arrangements have becn made for raumg up a fine build- B" ??d.?assive. and proportionate, and !neeverything is broad, massive, and proportionate, and sentation  of the cmpany. have  secondmg the resolution, Tbe resolution was put to the meetmg, and adopted utiantinokisi   moved, fbat tbe on. W. H'to Jo? n James, and R.  Rawlins, F,.q., ?eT,-el-,?ddire (!tors of the company." Mr J.. j?seconded tbe rQsolutlon, WhICh was d W b h '"Mf?? then moved That the action by the board of Thomas Barnes, Es% f of Kirnworth near Man- chester, and of the Quinta, Salrtf, to till the. vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Richard Kyrke Penson, Esq be confirmed." He felt sure that a better choice Could not be made in the appointment of a chairman, and be had therefore much pleasure in moving the resolution. Mr. TENCH, in seconding the motion said, LIE was re- joiced at having so influential a gentleman as chairman of the board, IllId who had done so much good for the Company during the past yar, He could confitlently appeal to the agents of the company that the name of Mr. Barnes had been of great advantage to them in obtaining business for the company. He had therefore mnch pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. CHARLES HUGHES moved the following resolution —" That Mr. John Bury, of Wrexham, and Mr. John Jones, of Westminster Buildings, Chester, public ac- countants, be elected auditors of the Company for the ensuing year, and that 1;23 be paid to each of those gentlemen for their services during the past year." He had known both those gentlemen for a length of time as in every =?lified for the offi,e, nd on that ground he had pleasure in moving the resolution. Mr. JOSEPH JACKSON seconded the motion, and the resolution was agreed to Mr. Buity moved" That the thanks of the proprietors be.presented to Thomas Taylor Griffith, Esq., the con. sulting surgeon; to the medical examiners to the com- pany; to Griffith Davies Esq., the consulting actuary; and to the agents of the Company for their valuable ser- vices during the year." Mr. DILLON said, although he was secretary to the company, he would ask permission to second tbe motion; and he did so because he considor2d he was in a position to know perhaps more of the worth of the gentlemen al- ready named, than almost any other person. He was glad of the apportunity thus afforded him of returning hil thanks to those gentlemen. Large as was the num- ?r of proposals (the proposals in a year did not amount to much less than 100t),) the consulting surgeon and the consulting actuary, whatever thrir other engagements, had always given the most prompt attention to the bus- iness of the company; while the medical examiners had taken so much care that seldom was there a necessity to seek for further information than was given at first. As for the agents to the company, they were pretty well aware of the opinion he held of them, and he woud a say no more, but second the resolution. The resolution having been' put to the meeting and adopted, the CHAIRMAN added his testimony to the worth of the gentlemen mentioned in the resolution. Mr. T. T. GRIFFITH expressed hiinselfas highly com- plimented at the manner in which the meeting had re- ceived the resolution, and in return, tendered his grateful thanks, assuring them that he would not fail to tokcth s;ime interest in the welfare of the Company that be had hitherto done. Mr. E. HOGERS then moved, and Mr. POTTER se- conded the following resolution That the thanks of the proprietors be presented to the director1!, and that the sum of .tæíO' be paid to them for their services. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. TENCH next moved, That the thanks of the pro- prietors he presented to the London Board for their va- luable services." Mr. KVRKE seconded the resolution which was unani- mously adopted; Mr. FITZHUGH'returned thanks on behalf of himself and the London Board, after which tie moved, 11 That the thanks of the proprietor. be presented to the trustees of the Company for their continued influence and sup- port." Mr. CLOUGH seconded the resolution, which was adopted. NSr. PAINTEF; then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried by acclamation. Th<? CHAIRMAN having made a suitable reply, the pro. ceedi ngs tnu;d.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF £ ORDS.—THURSBAY. The btminess transacted in the House of Lords, on Thursday night, was unimportant. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. PHretips brought up the report of the Great Yarmouth Election Committee, declaring that Sir E. Lacon, and Sir H. Stracy, the sitting members were duly elected: that Alfred Alexander, H Both- right, Charles Cooper, W. Silling, John Savage, Robert Earl, and George Howell were guilty of offering or receiving bribes; and that Henry Pay- man was guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury before the committee. THE REFORM BILL. Lord Jouri RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill further to amend the laws relating to the repre- sentation of the people in rarMauieiii. Before tip entered into-the subject he disclaimed entirely a wish to introduce a new Constitution, and, if he now proposed to amend the representation of the people, it was not, he said, to be understood as a concession that the Reform Act of 1832 bad failed; on the con- trary, he believed that no measure had so few faults. What the Government proposed to do was, in a sim- ple manner, to,supply the omissions and remedy the defects of that Act. They proposed to add to a county JElOoccupation franchise a secutity that would make it a bonafide franchise that where the land was attached to a house, not being a dwelling house, the building should not be of a less annual value than E5. The next question was as to lowering the borough franchise. The Act of 1832 was framed not to exclude working classes, butlto open the franchise wider to the middle classes; but it would be a great evil to continue much longer the practical- exclusion of a great number of the working classes, who, by their qualifications and character, were competent to exercise the franchise freely and independently, and, in his opinion, it would add strength to the con- stitution if a certain number of. those classes quali- fied for it should be admitted' to the franchise. He thought that the Legislature ought not to wait for r n agitation that would force demands upon Parlia- ment that if the desire for their franchise by these classes was founded upon a fair appreciation of their own qualities, and it could be conceded with safety to the constitution, the concession should not be de- layed because there bad not been any agitation. In another respect the Goveunment bad thought it on the whole better to make the measure as simple as possible; they had not introduced franchises not known to the constitution, or what had been term. ed "fancy franchises." What they proposed was to extend the borough franchises now enjoyed. One question bad been frequently discussed with reference to that franchise.- namely, whether it should be a rated franchise. He stated many reasons why the Government had thought it would not be advisable, but, on the con- trary, practically inconvenient, to have a rated fran- chise. The next question was, what should be the gross annual rental, and Lord JOHN, taking the number of electors for cities and boroughs now on, the register at 440,000, showed the numbers that Sould be added if the occupation franchise was re- duced to 99, E80 47, and 96: the latter sum would give an aggregate number of electors in the cities and boroughs in England and Wales, of 634,000, which he thought not an extravagant or exorbitant addition. With respect to the re-distributioii of seats, there was no intention wholly to disfranchise any existing constituency. Small boroughs ''? theira dvant a es They were nurseries for tadd ing st?esmen. an5 ;ere less liable than larger eonsUu- encies to such sudden and violent changes of feeling and opinion which drove Mr, BURKE from Bristol, and Lord MACAULAY from Edinburgh. There were still, however, anomalies to be remedied in connexion with them and he proposed to take one member from each of 25 place which. while pos- sessing only populations of 7,000 and under, re- turned the same number of members as Man. Chester, Birmingham, and other important towns. The small boroughs alluded to were Ludlow, Horn- ton, Thetford, Totnes, Marlborough, Evesham, Har- wich, Leominster, Lymington, Andover, Wells, Knaresborough, Richmond, Tewkesbury, Maldon, Ripon, Huntingdon. Cirencester, Chippenham, Bod- min, Marlow, Hertford, Devizes, Guildford, and Dorchester. The seats thus gained would be dis- posed of as follows: The West Riding would obtain two additional members, while one additional mem- ber would be given to South Lancashire, the North Lancashire, the North Riding of Yorkshire, Middle- sex, West Kent, South Devon, South Staffordshire. Lincolnshire (parts of Lindsey), South Essex, East Somerset, West Norfolk, West Cornwall,& N. Essex. The Metropolitan districts of Chelsea and Kensing- ton would be formed into a borough for parliamentary purposes, with the the privilege of returning two members; to Birkenhead, Stalybridge, and Burnley would be allotted one me.nber eac g; Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Birmingham would, in future, return three members iNstead of two; while one seat would be given to the University of London. The disfranchised seats of Sudbury and St. Albans would go to Scotland and Ireland, to be distributed thus :— One to Glasgow one to the Scotch Universities; one to Dublin and and to Cork County. Leave was given to bring in the bill, and the sec- ond reading was fixed for the 19th inst. 1,. Reform bills for Ireland and Scotland were also introduced

THE FRENCH EMPTOR'S SPEECH. I THE FRENCH E::ROR'S SPEECH. j The SP""h Of 'bE'P"Louto NAIPOLOO I "hich b, o .i. Iok d f. owln to the critical state of Italian aWalrs, was deliverel at the  of the French Leg islature on Thursday hut. The Emperor assured his obe- dient senators and deputies that be most sincerely desires the maintenance of peace, "nd neg!ect no means to assure it. H? core teg hj n9elf the amicable nature of his rela wit|, an the P.s of Europe. HE peace I will speedily be concluded with Co?' ChllJa, ndhe announces that a powerful 4CSDa(ched in- conjunction with one from Great «rlta will cba.- lise the perfidiry of the Chinese. He hopeg that European complications are ap?achi.? ?"_  and Italy is about freely to ?" her own affairs. B.t if the French army guarantee* ItaJM J for- dign interference he has a right to fiv the limits f that guarantee, He has therefore d ,cl?.t-ed to the Kinp "f Sardinia that. ■»« £ to J™ S. tire liberty of action,' he cannot follow hi.n in a pu licy 'tha?n the eyes of Europe, ?PP?'-?"?,? nhsorbtion of the states of Italy, and t,h I\I:.n ne? complication! He has ad"lsea IOC "d"lS S^rtt^fa-rSrr^pthe provinces which ?rt?m?ves to Mm.  mail}' tain the autonomy of Tuscany, and to respert   nrinciole the rights of the Holy See. This cour 0 will -'presevve principles" and "calm apprehension, Tnd will raise Sardinia into a Hate peopled by more than 9.000,000 souls. But as this transformation fr?m Northern Italy wiU phce all the passes of the S in the possession of a powerM state, it became the E.P'r.rduty safety of our fnnitiers, to claim the French side of the lIIountail;s." This demand gives no cau?ot alarm to fcurope, and < ?ot betie the disinterested policy wh.?h the ??f PEROR haB so often professe I; for France does not wish to proceed to this aa-randisemeiit, however small it may be, either by military occupation, or by in,ur- rection provoked, or by underhand mamamvrcs, but by frankly explaining the question to the Great Powers." Those Powers, the E nperor thinks., will deem that the important territorial arrangement about to be effected entitles France to a guarantee indicated by nature- herself." He is astonished at the agita- tion which has arisen throughout the Catholic world; for during eleven years he has maintained the power of the Pope at Rome; and now, after having vainly tried to reconcile the people of the Romajfna to their Sovereign, he has endeavoured to uphold at least the principle of trie Pope's temporal power in that pro- vince. Thus, says the Emperor, "You see that if all is not yet over it is still permitted to hope for a sneed v solution." Consequently the time has come to inaugurate a new era of peace in trance. Hte army has been reduced by 150,000 men, and the re- duction would have been still larger but for the outbreak of the Chinese war and for the oceu- pation of Rome and Lombardy. The EMPEROR S government will immediately present to the Legisla- ture a series of measures for the increase of trade and the improvement of the people's condition. It was necessary to suppress the prohibitions which impeded commercial relations with foreign countries. But the disinclination to a commercial treaty with Eug- 'land interposed impedimenta, and therefore says the EMPEROR, I have taken resolutely upon myelf the responsibility of that great measure." The treaty merely makes changes which each country would have separately made of its own accord at some future period and now the salutary reforms which it introduces will assume the character of reciprocal concessions, intended to strengthen the alliance of two great nations. He trusts that the Legislature will speedily pass the requisite measures for improv- ing internal communications, abolishing the duties on raw material", and lowering the taxes on articles of general consumption. In spite of these reductions the EMPEROR adds, neither a loan nor new taxes will be required for the ye r 1861. In conclusion, the EMPEROR declares that France menaces no one, and only desires to develope her boundless resources in peace and independence.

OUR LIBRARY TABLE. BLACKWOOD for March opens with a review of Mr. Oliphant's Narrative of the Earl of Elgin's Mission to China and Japan; a work sure to have excited interest unrler any circumstances, but to which attention has re- cently been drawn by Admiral Seymour's charge made against the atithor-wlio was private secretary to Lord Elgin-of having treated liim with injustice, in his ac. count of the events in the early part of 1838 a charge which Mto. Ohpbant met by a letter to the Times, in which he asserted that, he HAD (IPPII. pwidi&rly lenient to the gallant admiral in his account of the transactions alluded to. Mr. Oliphant got Mr. Bruce to move for some despatches, which bad been omitted from the Blue Book on I;;brlla, and whlcti bave SInce been pu\JU.I.<I, in order to sustain his assertion. We confess after these despatches that we are of opinion that government acted wisely in. not publishing them in the first instance; and we do not think upon a fair investigation of the pro and con, that the charge against Admiral Seymour of inac- tivity is made out.—There is the 3rd, part of St. Ste. phen's, in which the following tribute is paid to the late Lord Maeaulay:— In that gorgeous mind. Colour and warmth, the genialligh! combinefl Learuiug but glowe-1 into his large discourse, To heat Its mass and vivify its force. Th. electa he studied by the wordø iver made Mure than the art with which the woiz were .id. Perhaps so great an orator was ne'e*' So little of an sctor; half the care Giv'n to the speaking, which he gave the speech, Had raised his height beyond allliting reach Evft as it was, a master's power he proved lu the three tests-lie taught, he cbum-d- he moved. Few.coinpass one; whate'er their faults ma) be, Great orators alone achieve the three." Norman SiNclair is continued, and the Luck of Ladys- mede finished. There is an excellent article entitled Nelson and Caracdolo, in which the character of Nelson is vindicated from some slanders cast upon him in con- nection with his conduct at Naples in 1799-slanders whieb, although amply refuted in -the Nelson Despatches published by Sir Harris Nicholas, have been revived, very recently, by lr, Ruskin and the editor of Sir Geo, Rose's Diaries and Correspondence. The articles on the Foreign Connection of the lause of Dull, Volunteer Cavalry Movements, and the Anglo-Gallican Budget, all demand a careful perusal. The March number (the 3rd) of the CORNHILL M'A- GAZINE is neither better nor worse than the I st and 2nd. Framley Parsonage is really the best article in it, Lovel the Widower shewing no signs of improvement. Geo. Sala continues his account of Hogarth and those who admire Thackeray's style will like these articles, which are mostexcellent imitations of that style, and quite as good as the original. A few Words on Junius and Maeaulay contains some additional reasons (not very strong ones to be sure) for attributing to, Sir Philip Francis the author- ship of those celebrated letters, which caused so much excitement in the latter pact of the last century. G. H. Lewes's Studies in Animal Life abounds in interest. A Winter Wedding Party in the Wilds and Roundabout Papers are amusing; Student Life in Scotland is dull. The National Gallery Difficulty Solved is all. able paper on Capt. Fowkes's plan for improving the building in Trafalgar square, the adoption of whicb is recommended by the writer; tbe cost of the entire work would not exceed E50,000, and it would appear that for- that sum all the accommodation that is really necessary could be- procured.

PREVALENT DISEASES OF THE HumAN RAcE.-One of the most common disorders which afflict mankind is rheumatism, and there is no malady for which so many opposite modes of treatment bave been unsuccessfully tried. The most distinguished medical men now rely exclusively upon Dr. de Jongh's celebrated Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil, the unfailing efficacy of this rewdy hav- ing been demonstrated in thousands of cases of rheuma- tism which had resisted all other means of relief and cure. In those severe and obstinate states of the disease where the tendous have become rigid and the joints nearly in- flexible-even when the patients have become cripples for years, and not able to move from their seats or beds -a few weeks' use of this Oil has enabled the sufferers to walk, and continued administration has entirely re- stored the natural use of their limbs. Mr. B. Clarke, a distinguised medical practitioner, bears his testimony to its efficacy in the following terms: I recommended Dr. de Jongh's Cod Liver Oil to a friend of mine, whose case of rheumatism had baffled all the resources of me. dicine for more than fifteen years, and I have been very agreeably surprised by its effects. He has now laid his crutches aside, and, from his position in society, I should think he must have widely spread the report of its usefulness."
