SPECIAL NOTICE.-Parties desirous of participating in the fourth division of profits to be declared on all policies effected prior to the 31st December, 1861, should, in order to enjoy the same, make immediate application. There have already been three divisions of profits, and the bonuses divided have averaged nearly 2 per cent. per annum on the sums assured, or from 30 to 100 per cent. on the premiums paid, without imparting to the recipients the risk of copartnership, as is the case in mutual societies. To show more clearly what these bonuses amount to, the three following cases are put forth as examples :Sum Insured. Notwithstanding these large additions, the premiums are on the lowest scale compatible with security for the payment of the policy when death arises; in addition to which advantages, one half of the premiums may, if desired, for the term of five years, remain unpaid at 5 per cent. interest, without security or deposit of the policy. The Assets of the Company at the 31st December, 1859, amounted to £690,140 19s., all of which has been invested in Government and other approved securities. No charge for Volunteer Military Corps whilst serving in the United Kingdom. Policy Stamps paid by the Office. Immediate application should be made to the Resident Director, 8.

OME ACCOUNT OF DOMESTIC ARCHIExisting Remains from Original Drawings. From William I. to Henry VIII. By the late T. HUDSON TURNER, and J. H. PARKER, F.S.A. "People do not realise the fact that Gothic ever was a prevalent civil style. Mr. Parker's beautiful volumes on English Domestic Architecture come in most opportunely to drive away this error. His book opens to us a vast store of exquisite remains of medieval civil architecture, still existing in our own country, and gives some glimpses of the far richer stores which exist in other lands. The popular ignorance of this subject is truly amazing. Our land is still studded with beautiful fragments of medieval domestic art; only the difficulty is, to make people believe that they are domestic." The National Review, January, 1860.

Holinshed and Stowe say Conquet was by an English force in 1462, and add a list of the commanders. As they tell us nothing more, it is not worth while to discuss the probability of an event unnoticed by others, and discredited by Rapin on account of the silence of the French and Breton historians; which, however, would not be extraordinary, if little mischief was done. * in the On thaume Bay, and marched seven miles inland, burning and wasting towns and villages." Monday, the 23rd of May," he burnt "Conquet and divers other places." On the 1st of June he landed in Croyton (?) bay and dispersed the country people, who had risen to defend their homesteads. The character of this sad warfare, and the different light in which it was regarded by the Admiral and the unhappy sufferers, will be better understood from an anecdote related by Hall and also by Holinshed. Some gentlemen of the district having obtained a safe-conduct, came on board his ship, and "humbly desired him to surcease of his rigorous and cruel war, especially of the burning of towns and villages, which to you is no profit." He coolly replied, "We are sent hither to make war and not peace.' And when they begged for at least a six days' truce, he added, "Gentlemen ought to defend their country by force, and not to sue for peace." By way of amends for this ungracious reception, he entertained them at a "banket." It is unnecesAugust, or the subsequent failure of the English sary to describe the sea-fight of the 10th of to force the passage into Brest. In the autumn, a Frenchman, who was a knight of Rhodes, brought to the aid of Louis a fleet of galleys and other light ships, and whilst the French were safely moored in Brest harbour, he boldly chose a position (where he could also protect his galleys by land defences) in the shallows of "Blankesable, or Whitsand bay." Here, on the 25th of the following April, Sir E. Howard led the attack in row-boats, and succeeded in boarding; but his boats drifting away, he was, in the mêlée, pushed into the sea and drowned. Discouraged by this untoward accident, his officers decided to return home, when the adventurous knight sallied forth to make reprisals on the inhabitants of the English coast. As the bay just mentioned appears to have been the place of landing in the next descent, I may add that it is immediately beyond the point north of Conquet, and is called on an English chart "Road of White Sands." The lower part of this bay is on a French chart marked "Basse du Blanc Sablon," and no doubt the encounter with the galleys occurred here. The marriage of the heiress of Brittany with Charles VIII. and afterwards with his successor Louis XII., finally united that province to France, and when war broke out between Louis and Henry VIII, the latter in "the fourth" (ac-fered, it can hardly be supposed to have escaped, Though the Abbey is not reported to have sufcording to the Chroniclers, but query fifth) year of his reign, despatched an expedition when its near neighbour, Conquet, was burnt and against Brest and the French fleet lying there. the whole district so fearfully ravaged. In the On this occasion the ill-fated district around the next descent it will be seen that it was pillaged, Abbey and it can scarcely be doubted the and most probably also set on fire. Abbey itself-suffered terribly. "Trinity Sunday Sir Edward Howard took a fort in Ber 99 Henry's fourth regnal year ended on the 21st of April, 1613; but in this year Trinity Sunday, the day, according to Hall and Holinshed, of the first attack, fell on the 22nd of May, whereas, in 1512, it fell on the 6th of June. In the summer of 1558 the English govern◄ ment attempted to seize Brest as a compensation for the loss of Calais in the previous January, or more likely as a security for its restoration. Comparing the accounts given by De Thou (tom. i. p. 697., Buckley's Lond. ed. 1733) and Morice with those of our own Chroniclers, we learn that |
