The total income of the year , it will be seen, is £514,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The 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. Thepreniiums on new assurances are £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 rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast 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 : DR. LIABILITIES.

The National Board of Trade, which has just held its annual meeting have urged the modifica tion of the Navigation Laws on the attention of Congress, and almost simultaneously in his yearly report Secretary M'Culloch reiterated his former recommendation to the same effect. The question resolves itself into the abandonment of all share in the ocean carrying trade, at least of the Atlantic, or the modification of this law to the extent of granting Atneric in registers to vessels owned by American citizens, prohibiting those from engaging in the coasting trade, or between American ports which are foreign built. It is a pernicious delusion to hold that the foreign c trrying traic of the Unite 1 States can be revived by protection and subsidies ; as beyond the ports of the States protection being impossible, competitio❑ is open to the world, and Amcricar.s are weighted to the extent of the difference between the cost of a foreign built steamerand one American built of the same capacity. The protection to the ship vtight under present cir cutnstances is ruin to the American marine, a terrible cost at which to build up even a thriving manufacturing business. If then the result were activity in the American yards, it would still be a question whether that activity was not purchased at too high a price; but the fact is that instead of fostering shipbuilding in America the re verse is the cAse. Some years ago the clipper ships• of America were substituted for the boxes which carried the commerce of England, the, injurious Navigation Laws and system of taxing British vessels having led to a construction best calculated to make tracks to the bottom than any \where else. The English saw their error and re pealed the law ; the American models were eagerly bought up by them, and soon after they began to turn out vessels from their ship-yards which could hold their own with the swift ships from the other side the Atlantic. Using the American ships, sail ing and living in them, and having them always be fore their eyes, they could scarcely fail in imitating them, in detecting their own deficiencies, and making up for shortcomings. llad the change then not been from wooden sailing vessels to iron steamers, nor had the war deranged the interior economy of the Union, England would have held her own, be cause every facility was given to her inhabitants to use their means and energies to the best advantage. The position has now been reversed by some strange freaks of fortune, and America should consider closely the course by which England was enabled to maintain her commercial status in the carrying trade of the world against the enormous advant ages then possessed by the United States. Pas senger vessels of a fine class are built on the Clyde at about half a million dollars in green backs. The same class of vessel if built in any port of the United States would cost little less than a million dollars. No steam line then formed in the States could hope to work with American built steamers against those constructed in Great Britain, as this difference is absolute prohibition ; and it fol lows that no company of rational businessmen would be found to attempt it. Hence the vessels are not built, the yards remain silent, and the law, without doing the American shipbuilders any good, does the American merchant and sailor much harm. It is not so clear, however, that the modification re commended of this law might not prove, if tried, of advantage to American shipwrights, for vessels would be repaired in the home yards and supplied with many fittings, while the very fact of Americans using them, living in them, and having them as their property constantly before them, would pro duce the same result as in England, in pointing out deficiencies and making up for shortcomings, and eventually of America might begin to turn out iron steamers as cheap as those of the Clyde. The worst of making no effort is that the Atlantic trade is falling wholly into the hands of foreigners while even the neucleus around which the revival must gather will be lost, and it is a very different thing to inaugurat3 a new industry from fostering into strong life one alrea ly existing. No doabt something may be dine to keep alive what exists by liberal subsidies, but yet it is a fatal system, taxing the people to supply the me - ins for carelesa manage ment of the favoured company, strengthening a ricketty fabric with Government props in the place of a healthy, sound, and self-supporting trade. There is now before Congress an application for th© mail contract, by which a New York Company will bind itself to run four steamships a week across the Atlantic of an American-built fleet, the subsidy being obtained from the mail, which is not likely to reach £lOO,OOO. This would be found on trial not to pay, as a few figures would show, if the di - iproportion between the cost of a Clyde-built fleet and that of one built in New York be accu- rately stated. The truth is that the power to corn pete in shipbuilding of this class can only be gained by degrees, and the first step is thoroughly to un derstand the reasons why American yards cannot compete with British yards in supplying the de mand for the class of vessels required. It would not be wise in the United States, while the remedy was being applied which must take years, to allow even the feeble life of their ocean-carrying trade to die out, and we rejoice to see attention earnestly directed to this point.—Anglo-American Times. There is an article on American oratory in the number just issued of Once a Week. The contrast between the finished eloquence of such speakers as Sumner and Fessenden is amusingly contrasted with the " highfaluten" and " spreadeagleism" of some of the orators from the Far West, who mistake extravagance and hyperbole for elo quence. The speech from which the latter term is de rived is given as an example. It was in the house a quarter of a century ago that an honourable Repre sentative thus referred to the national symbol : " Look, Mr. Speaker, at the American Eagle; that proud bird, which is the emblem of American freedom, and watches from her eyrie over the noble strides of this glori ous Republic ! See how she covers with her broad breast this vast Continent! There she hovers, Mr. Speaker, above us our protector and our pride ! With her beak resting on the froien fields of Canada, her tail flapping about in the Gulf of Mexico—with one wing hovering over the mild Pacific, and the other gently swaying to and fro above the turbulent waves of the Atlantic—who shall despair, Mr. Speaker, of our Republic? Who shall dare to lay a sacrilegious hand upon our Constitution ? Let the despotisms of Europe, Mr. Speaker, shudder; let them quake on their tottering thrones, for when the American Eagle screams their day draws near, and the trumpet blast of freedom has gone forth." George Francis Train arrived in robust health at New York on the morning of Christmas Day, and was welcomed by numerous Fenian deputations, each of which presented him with a soul-stirring address, to which they received the following reply :—" On board steamship Australasia, Christmas Pay, 1868.—Dear Committee of the F. B.; Pay or Fight—Release Citizens of War— If short of cash, sell us Ireland for Alabama claims." That is the platform on which I accept these addresses of the Fenians. Ireland is all ablaze with hope ; but rely on Ireland. They don't want your money; they will only accept your guns. James Stephens has been reinstated as Supreme Central. England shakes with the palsy. The reading of this address under the British flag shows you are in earnest. Russia and Ame rica are back of Greece. Farragut has all the soundings. The monarchy and laws have gone up in England. As a matter of hospitality you had better engage hospitals on the Hudson for the dethroned monarchies. All right for the great meeting at Cooper Institute, when I will bom bard England again with Bastille epigrams. —Sincerely, GEO. FRANCIS TRAIN.—P.S. This little keepsake was pre sented to me by Mrs. Captain Mackay, who saw me off in the steamer. Put it with the address. —G. F. T." The excellent condition of the suffering patriot just released from the British Bastille must have been a shock to the sympathies of his Fenian admirers. lie is, however, the better qualified for his lect ur i ng t our on " Civis Am eri canus suns in a British Bastille."
