GOLD X IELDS - 
California. — A meeting of the Quartz Rock Gold 
Mining Company took place in the city [London], on 
Tuesday, when it was agreed to raise about £7,500 to 
relieve the property from a mortgage charge under which 
it lias been placed by the managers in California, and to 
appoint a committee to advise with the directors ns to 
future proceedings. It appears that the capital expended 
is about £45,000, and that the working of the mines has 
been conducted on an extravagant scale. Although the 
reports sent home have been of the most encouraging 
nature, the l'esults have failed to confirm them ; while, 
owing to the nbscnce of proper superintendence, the 
miners and others have neglected their duties. In this 
critical position a request has been made for a further sup- 
ply of capital and additional machinery. The directors, 
however, still believing that the property is valuable, pro- 
pose to despatch a qualified person to investigate its 
character, and to call in, if necessary, the assistance of 
Mr. Phillips, employed by the Nouveau Monde Company. 
When these arrangements shall have been completed, it 
will remain for the shareholders to decide upon a disso- 
lution or continuance of the undertaking. ___

LIFE ASSURANCE. 
■DEPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
lb H6USE of COMMONS, and tho DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and Important feature of Life Assurance adopted by tho DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from tho Report of tho Select Com- 
mittee : — 
“Tho objects which persons have In view In effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, arc generally of an important and solemn character, viz., 
the provision for widows and orphans aftor the death of their natural 
protectors; unliko any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered Into cannot be discharged or abandoned, If doubts of the 
stability of an office should orise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
In past years, and tho necessity of effecting now policies in other offices 
at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of tho assured ; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere In paying premiums from year to year, w»h some 
suspicion and doubt os to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under tho most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or salo of a policy." 
On the deposit system a person is not “ compelled " to pay, from 
“ year to year," and he does not, If desirous of “abandoning” his 
policy, Incur any "serious loss," but, on tho contrary, he may pay 
suchamounts, and at such times, as ho may find money convenient; 
ho can stop paying whenever ho pleases, and he can withdraw tho 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole bo withdrawn the policy 
is cancelled; if part only, then tho value of the policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. 11., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which It 
will be seen he increases from timo totime.und occasionally diminishes. 
For example.— The following ubstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the operation of tho scheme : — __
