It appears, by the brief account sent through the Cable, that the California Republican Convention met . on the 22d inst., and adopted resolutions en . dorsing the Senate's action, and rejecting the dla- Lama Claims Treaty, asserting it to be the duty of _ the Government to.demand full reparation for the injury inflicted by the Confederate cruisers which sailed from British ports; also favouring Chinese immigration, but opposing Chinese suffrage. Such resolutions arc not calculated to give an elevated impression of the principles or the ability which guide the Republican party on the Pacific slope. It would have been as well had the fransets of these resolutions consulted Mr. SEWARD, then on the spot, about the Alabama Claims Treaty, and the Senate's action thereon. lie coul•l hive informed them that he, a Republican, was the Secretary of State who came into office with the triump', and supremacy of that party, holding the post till the advent of the present Administration ; that, in con junction with the PRESIDENT elected by his party, and an Envoy sent by the unanimous consent of the Senate for the very purpose of framing that Convention with her MAJESTY'S Government, the Treaty was dictated, drawn up, altered, re-altered, and finally accepted, being, from beginning to end, the handiwork of the statesmen representing the Republican party, arranged by the Envoy (as we before observed) selected by the Senate for the work. Yet it is the rejection of this Treaty by the Senate which the Republican Convention of Cali fornia considers it advisable to endorse—a contra diction as great as ever a party paraded befor3 the world in condemnation of itself. If the terms of the Treaty were such that it becomes necessary for Republican State Conventions to condemn it, the party must be prepared for the inevitable Demo cratic charge,—" It was solely the work of your own men ;" and inreply to the excuse that these men had lost the confidence of the Republicans, the an swer is, "A party is unfit to rule which places men in power whose acts they are compelled to repudiate in their State Conventions." Thera is but one thing a party has to do, and that is to select the right men for office ; if they fail in this, their failure is com plete, and the sooner such party sinks into obscurity the better. This declaration then of the California Republican State Convention is the confession of a )odwood he shape ight : Disguiso, La Faye Lord of d out of Isles out lie Gun, Scottish UTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament. 1559). 14, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH jUYE, 1868.

Tho interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on now assurances aro £14,596 ls. 9d. and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officoslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

Poultry' London, E.C. September 1868. or from env other cause whatever; while at the saute time it absolutely guarantees at dc,!ease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the promium. a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. b• acing the same proper tine to the total amount assured as the number of prr mionns actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to Le.paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured u-illthus always have the option of retain ing either an asentained fixed sum payable at decease. or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these poiuts, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy, of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1. - ngest term provided for is twenty-fore years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this chss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallongeable on any kronnd whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of .C 215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any office in tho Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent ter support ou voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destimte sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capabie of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

Great Britain the Tories went to the country with lie cry for full and cotnplcte reparation for the in jury inflicted on the Empire through the action of the Fenian organizations, what would be sai 1 in America? Ye t t hey have the same . 2iglit to do s', and those who believe that if war is to break out between the countries the soonar the better, consider that if inevitable, the Republican party work in E•igland's interest. Such are not party questions, and can only be introduced into a platforin for the low object of catching a very bad class of votes, the open disp!ay of which does much to bring Republican institutions into contempt. It is evident that the party in California is in a bad way, or the resolutioa favour ing Chine3e immigration, but opposing Chinese suffrage, could not have been passed. Expanded to its full meaning, it becomes a simple subversion of the principle whereon the party is founded. A similar resolution might have been adopted before the war in the South by those who desired a renewal of the Slave Trade. It means the import of labour without the rights of citizens, without the protec tion of the law, without that political equality for which the btruggle was fought. Nor is it only op posed to Republican principles; for, being endorsed by the nation equality was embodied in the two last amendments to the Constitution, which it therefore militates againstas well as against the natonal senti ment. Nor can we.see the gain to grasp which the Re- publicans have forged s 'effective a weapon for their opponents. Southerners always F•ai&l that Radical theories were very line while they affected others only, buta different matter when affecting Radicals them- selves. The negro question inOliio audiu Gcorgia are two distinct thillg4, for when the measure which Ohio insisted on for Georgia was proposed for Ohio its citizens objected. In California a quoition not wholly dissimilar to negro slavery is arising, and is directly favoured by a resolution like this in the Republican platform. Hence they propose to build up on the Pacific slope a condition of society which they smothered in blood in the Southern States, a con tradiction of which the Democrats will not be slow - •W to avail themselves. A section of the latter party desire altogether to exclude Chinese, which would perhaps be a lesser injustice to that people ; but whatever its effect on them, it would at least pre. vent the growth on the Pacific slope of that state of society which iu the South led to the Civil War, embodying principles which run counter to Republi can institutions and the general tone of American sentiment. They cannot be endorsed by the Re publican party in the Eastern States ; they could not be carried into practice, for they would be op posed to the Constitution when the XVth Amend ment is adopted ; and all they can do is to give the Democratic party an opportunity of contrasting Re publican doctrine on the shores of the Atlantic and of the Pacific as an argument against their oppo nents. It may suit employers of labour in Cali fornia, but not the employed who desire the exclu- don of the Chinese, and we cannot therefore see how such a resolution will even attract votes. The North German Correspondent says :—" There are at this moment 1,962 students at the University of Berlin. Of those 403 are foreigners, chiefly Americans, Eng lish, and Scotch. There are no less than 60 American stu dents, sons of rich planters from the Southern States of the Union."—Dr. H. Vogel, who was a member of the North- German expedition sent last year to observe the total eclipse of the sun, has been invited to join the new one fitted out by the Government of Washing ton to make observations and take photographs of the great solar eclipse of the 7th August next, which will be visible in the United States.—Ac cording to the official report of the North-German Consulate in Yokahama (Japan), in the year 1868, 376 vessels entered that port, with a total burden of 291,229 tons. Of these 178 (87,279 tons) were British, 102 (155,128 tons) American, 44 (17,884) North Ger man, anti 29 (24,764 tons) French vessels. There sailed from the same port 329 ships (219,149 tons), of which 169 (80,896 tons) were British, 95 (154,759 tons) A mer i can , 39 (15,238 tons) North German, and 25 (20,939 tons) French. The great monthly British, American, and French mail steamers aro included among the shipaig of their respective countries, which of course tends to redtice considerably the proportion of vessels under the North German flag. In the same year 114 ships, with a united tonnage of 40,815 tons, entered the port of Kakodale, 40 of which (12,370 tons) were British, 33 (14,082 tuns) Ameri can, `21(7,901 tons) North-German, and 5 (1,372 ►tons) French. The number of vessels which sailed from Kako dale was in nearly the same proportion as that of the arrivals. The ocean steamers running between New York and Europe are 85 in number, owned ono-half by five companies, and the remainder by ten companies. The Cunard line own 14, the Inman 10, the National 9, and 1 ou the stocks ; the Hamburg American Packet Company 10, and the North German Lloyd 10. The more important of the others are the Anchor line, which owns 7 ; the Wil liams and Guion line, 5 ; the R .gers' American lino 5 ; the General Transatlantic Company, 5 ; and the London and New York Steamship line, 4. With the means of loco motion at present in Use a tour round the world may be ma.Ll2, in 80 days. The itinerary is as follows : —Paris to New York, 11 days ; to San Francisco (rail), 7 ; Yoko hama (steamer), 21 ; Hong Kong (steamer), 0 ; Calcutta (steamer), 12 ; Bombay (rail), 3 ; Cairo (steamer and rail), 14 ; Cairo to Paris (steamer and rail), 6; total, 81. Of that immense route, the only portion on which steam is not used is about 140 miles between Allahabad and Bombay, and that interruption will shortly cease, as the works for completing the railway are being carried on actively.
