A VETERAN IN LIFE ASSURANCE.

We take the two following extracts from the Insurance Guardian, respecting one who must be ranked among the fathers in the ranks of Fire and Life Assurance :— SIR SAMUEL BIGNOLD. The voteran of insurance—a " fine old English gentleman " in the best and truest sense of *ihe words—is about to have presented v! o him a testimonial to mark the high esteem which is entertained for him by the friends and connections of the two great institutions with which he has been for more than half a century connected. So lengthened', useful, and spotless a career, deserved to be marked by a testi monial of more than ordinary importance ; and, from all we hear, the effort in this case will be worthy of the occasion. Sir Samuel has three classes of admirers: (1) personal and family ; (2)' Insurance, fire and life ; and (3) local and political friends and adherents, all of whom will be glad to take part in such a movement as that now under notice.

On Friday, the 20th ulfc., the clerks of the Norwich Union Fire and Life Insur ance Offices presented Sir Samuel Bignold, -who on that day completed his eightieth year, with a valuable silver inkstand of 'chaste and classical design, accompanied by an illuminated address in the following terms: — " To Sir Samuel Bignold. " The Clerks of the Norwich Union Fire and Life Insurance Societies have pleasure in congratulating you upon your eightieth birth day, acd in expressing their great respect for your character and appreciation of the kindness and courtesy they have always received from you. They trust that your life may yet be prolonged for many years to your family and the important institutions with which you are connected. They also beg your acceptance of the accompanying inketand as an expression of their sentiments towards you. "Surrey street, Norwich, Oct. 13, 1871."

The illumination, which was in amassive frame, consisted of a gold border and running scroll work of forget-me-nots enclosing views of cathedral and castle. The arms of Sir Samuel, the city of Norwich, and the Norwich Union Fire and Life offices, were grouped in the centre panel, the side panels enclosing the names of the forty-five clerks forming the Norwich staff. This has been executed by one of the staff (Mr George O. Clark) with great artistic skill. Sir Samuel celebrated the event by inviting the clerks to luncheon of the most rtickercheS descrip tion, and took occasion to refer to his fifty seven years connection with the office, and the regard he entertained for those around him. He concluded by proposing " Pros perity to the Norwich Union Fire and Life Offices." Mr Dennis T. Crosbie, the senior cleric, who has been in the establish ment for upwards of fifty years, in re sponding, very briefly proposed Sir Samuel's health, which was received with great enthusiasm. The agents of both offices, who have, we understand, sub scribed a very large sum of money, de puted the London agent and actuary (Charles John Buyon, Esq., M.A.) to present Sir Samuel with-an address, which was accordingly done. The shape of the testimonial which is to follow, left, we believe, in Sir Samuel's hands. Sir Samuel had a large family gathering in the even ing, at which the Duke of Wellington was present.

The Ballarat Star has this rap at a journal istic larcenist :—" The Buninyong Telegraph has hit npon a new line of journalism- in its issue of the 20th instant, it has two leaders. One s taken bodily from ourcolumns, without the lightest acknowlebgement. The other abuses us, and is taken from one of our local co ntem poraries. This is about the most brazen thing we have yet met with in our connection with newspapers. To rod us and abuse us at the same time is an exploit worthy of the moat obscure, as well as impudent of scribes." Pat says that " nothing can be aisier than to repale the union of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland' It is only neces sary," says he, "to transpose two letters, and they will become united kingdoms at once."
