JAMES'S SQUARE, LONDON, S.W. CHAIRMAN. Right Hon. John Robert Mowbray, M.P. DEPUTY-CHATILMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Reporl of the Directors, presented at the Artual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 : 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings wore even less than for many years past. 3. O❑ the other hand, the Income was raised to .£219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large snm paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the w'sole of Life, where the age does not exceed . 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred t. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which - the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUT( JAFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London. S.W. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is iu their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to p-omulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely; Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Unchallengegble. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or y free from decline to assure on the ground that, in the event o f in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre- . en n ti o r w el introduced miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To thi s class of the thetebliicelf, beg syisntemwill asps- . c ally commend condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pi emium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be 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 will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained 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 points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono 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 more 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 voyaeing, 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. ti lu addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class 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 unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

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. The premiums on now 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 year 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.

It is to be hoped the missionaries wil pay due attention to the important advice Lord Clarendor quoted on Monday from Sir Rutherford Alcock. The result of his experience with respect to religious intolerance in China corresponds exactly with i what has beer observed in most other countries with a similax reputation. The intolerance is not in, the people, bul in the Government. Until very recently the excuse always made by the leading men in Spain for their suppression of religious liberty was that the bigotry of the lower classes would render it in the highest degree dan gerous to allow a Protestant minister or a Protestant ser vice to be publicly tolerated. The hands of authority are soddenly weakened, and it proves that the people have not the slightest animosity against the professors of an alien creed. The ruling classes in such over-governed countries object to the introduction of a freer form of religion from a keen sense of their own interests. They know that with the increase of intelligence among the people their own authority will be undermined. Accord• ingly, it is the literate class and thegentry of China who incite the mobs of the cities to the outrages recently perpetrated. Sir Rutherford's conclusion is, that if China is ever to be Christianised, it must be through the ruling class, not in spite of them ; and that the efforts of our missionaries should therefore be directed to win over the representa tives of this class in the principal treaty ports. We must own there would be something to be said for drawing a different conclusion. Since it seems an almost impracti cable task to overcome the fears . and prejudices of the governors, it might be thought wise to obtain a footing in the country through the hearts of the governed. It is the people who have taught tolerance to the Spanish Govern ment, and not the Spanish Government to the people. But, on the other hand, it should be remembered that if the governing class is won, all are won ; and it would seem only natural to address ourselves to the only obstacle which obstructs our progress. The Standard refers to the criticism that has of late been passed upon Lord Stanley, and declares that it has alway< been the professed, if not the received, opinion of Liberal journalists that no man, at once wise and conscientious, honest and intelligent, can possibly be a Tory. Is not Toryism the creed of "the stupid party ;" and bow, then, is it possible that a clever man should honestly accept it? Is it not at least as old as the British Constitution ; and how, then, can it be other than antiquated and obsolete? It would be labour lost to point out the inconsistency or such a proposition with that " liberality" of opinion, that " toleration" of conflicting views, that respect for liberty of thought, which Liberals always profess in theory, and zealously apply in practice to the opponents of any views except their own. Lord Stanley is admitted on all hands to be one of our most valuable public men, and perhaps the best Foreign Secretary whom the existing generation has known. How, then, can he be a Conserva tive? For this phenomenon the Liberal press has con sistently accounted by ascribing Lard Stanley's politics entirely to his filial piety ; and declaring that he would be a Liberal if his father were not so closely connected with and so greatly revered by the Tories. They impute to him that, out of deference to Lord Derby, he has systematically supported measures which he believed to be mischievous, and principles which he held to be false ; and freely accuse him of belying his convictions and deserting his country, by adhering to a party whose opinions are not his, and whose unpopularity excludes him from office. Referring to his discourse at Glasgow on Saturday, it says that every word of that speech conveys the strongest censure, though couched in the most moderate words, upon the Liberal Ministry ; almost every sentence reflects the convictions which bind the Conservative party together, and separate it from the heterogeneous assemblage at present collected under the colours of Liberalism ; the whole is the utter ance of a man who sees, thinks, feels as a Conservative— and of a man who is resolved to leave no doubt of his true politcal position on the mind of any candid and intelligent listener. The Post hopes that the measure which is under the consideration of the House of Commons for the amend ment of the bankruptcy laws will prove more successful than its immediate predecessor. Bills of this nature have of late degenerated into what are termed parliamentary annuals—that is to say, they are regularly introduced, and as constantly abandoned. There is, however, no adequate reason why such should be the case. A proposed amend ment of the law of bankruptcy does not, like a bill to legalise marriages with deceased wives' sisters, or a reso lution affirmative of the excellence of secret voting, necessarily provoke the hostility of any particular class, or provoke an opposition which it may be difficult to over come. Everyone is more or less interested in placing the bankruptcy laws on such a footing as may secure for the insolvent and for the creditors the greatest amount of good. Debt has ceased to be regarded as a crime punish able at the will of the creditor with perpetnal imprison ment ; and we may here remark, that together with the Bankruptcy Law Amendment Bill is a kind of sub sidiary measure for the abolition of imprisonment for debt under any circumstances, or for any time, however short. It is proposed to retain the existing practice of committing to prison for contempt of court contumacious judgment debtors in county courts ; and it was argued with much plausibility that it was unjust to retain the practice of imprisonment for debt solely to be enforced against the working classes. The Attorney-General, however, expressed his readiness to adopt any practicable suggestions which might be made with the view of depriving the county courts of this exceptional power, and it is not improbable, when the measure comes to be considered in committee, that this most desirable end may be attained, and imprison ment for debt thus become entirely unknown in this country. The Times, in referring to the probable substitution of Mr. Lothrop Motley for Mr. Reverdy Johnson, observes that there is no type of Minister whom we would receive more gladly than the historian and the scholar. Mr. Motley, however, would be the first to admit that in him we must recognise one who has decided opinions on the matters in dispute between us and the Americans. What ever may be his social or his historical prepossessions, .he is, as far as actual politics are concerned, a thorough re-. presentative of the Northern Republicans. As the inten tions of President Grant's Government are as yet a secret, even if any have been formed, it is useless to speculate upon the turn of affairs. The Convention which has been concluded between the two countries awaits the decision of the new President and of the Senate, which have not yet formally decided on it. Supposing it to be set aside, and negotiations to be renewed at some future time, we may expect to find in Mr. Motley an earnest and uncompromising supporter of the opinion[ which are said to be dominant among his countrymen. In the matter of the Alabama claims his principles and con-' duct are not likely to be alloyed by any weakness for us. It is a great thing, however, to feel ourselves demonstrably in the right. This country has gone to the extreme of con cession in the matter of the Alabama claims. It has agreed to refer everything, except its own honour, to arbitration, and to the judgment of a mixed commission. It has agreed to give Americans who profess to have been wronged every opportunity to assert their claims by pro. viding that the commission shall hold its sittings a$ Washington. Except absolute submission to every demand the Americans may choose to make, there is nothing further that could have been conceded. The Times thinks it most likely that if the present convention should be set aside, Mr. Motley will be instructed to open fresh negotiations embodying similar principles. In any case we shall welcome Mr. Motley, not only as an old friend, but as one who has the confidence of a really powerful Executive and of the most powerful political party in the United States. The Telegraph declares in favour of those who would have the Sunday a day of rest for the toil ing millions of the United Kingdom, but at the same time advocates very strongly the opening of museums and galleries of art to the people on that day. We should be sorry, indeed, to see the London shops open on a Sunday, because there would then no longer be rest for anybody —no longer time for attendance at public worship in the morn ing, nor for harmless recreation in the afternoon. To open the theatres on a Sunday would mean that for the theatrical profession, and its numerous hangers on, there would be no day of Sabbath rest. But, what is more, the character of the amusement, with many of the associations necessarily involved in it, would jar with the genuine religious feeling of English society. We dare, however, boldly affirm that the feeling of the vast majority of Londoners is in favour of opening merely the galleries and museums of art on a Sunday afternoon, We open Greenwich, Hampton Court, Kew Gardens, and e other such places, and then we shut the doors of th e Museum and National Gallery in the faces of the p eople And while the doors of these places are shut in th i into the faces of the people, the Upper Ten Thousand dee the lions this and Gardens, tease the bears, a l tecgliiselda legislation rih t e ? njoy themselves on the Sundaaynaftsernoon.

A chief judge, if wisely c hosen, will do for the new bankruptcy jurisdiction what Mr. .Tustice Cresswell did for the jurisdiction of the Court of Divorce and Probate. Moreover, the appointment is to be made on an elastic principle. The new bankruptcy judge will be one of the present judges, and no addition will be made to the bench, unless it be found that the increase of business renders such an addition absolutely necessary. Let us, in conclusion, urge upon the House the necessity of passing the bill out of hand. When the committee stage has arrived, let the clauses be carried swiftly through with whatever alterations are essential. It is of all things desirable that, even with a little rough / tress of execution, a bankruptcy bill of a clear and decisive character should paSs this session. wen- York into Erie 'son, .. c IP 0 - 4 7; 4 - 4 cl) S ac rzi E. &4,,,,, 6 a zi,
