The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On 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 sum 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.

NBSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ' FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, 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 in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate F m a d n ei loin U nrse n , otctrihto, the the unwillingnessrsl e e sAa n us g rsoes e nu a o b rran l the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, enftheer to ogdr will become continue en many touhi ena that, in forfeited.yip persons r payment ni o t n e s os fv h event of t pe thisrin abilityoe r class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture cm account of non-payment of premium, or from aey othet cause whatever ; while at the s ame Iftuit' * e5. ( 2 1 q 01 3 7 f ? •ment of the premium, e.'"ii,TlT a de respect of evlqPtgrmium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi mbeanyefit be called of the credi tors, and others holding polic ies of this c la ss as security, umpaoynatloways advancekt know o the s u to tm n o in s i t n a t m ai o n n t n h t e futhelyl Assurances—a matter of groat importance whore 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 WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

G~-i-r~v ~ ~vt~ 7IIE PACIFIC RAILROAD. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The Grand Trunk Pacific line frOm Omaha to Sacramento, which is virtually from New York to San Francisco, has been, we doubt not, finished ere this so far that trains can pass over it, though in the English acceptation of the term we fear it is yet far from being a finished road. But, scamped ; though it may be, it is the grandest of undertak . ings, furnishing an instance of American energy such as the history of the world cannot equal. From the beginning to the end, the scheme is characteris tic of the Americ ,n, alike exemplifying good and bad qualities. Its conception in its magnificence bordered on temerity seeming to the world but narrowly sepa rated from the point where angels fear to tread but fools rush in. Through almost unknown wastes, over three of the most stupendous mountain ranges, o a f v ln as d t i d ai e j zrt, a co un t ry covered with hostile ba n d s height s ovethung by the avalanche, it has been carried from nee in to ocean acrd s a c In tiuent to'conm•et the Eastern portions of the world with the Western Portions. This stupendous work was cotnnieuced during a war which threatened to shiver the Republic into fragmmts, when the energies of the nation, North and South, were ab sorbed in the effort to annihilate each other. That such a giant work, pr.j..ced and commenced at such a time, should require men of giant strength is the next conclusion at which the world would arrive. Not a bit of it. Anybody, Nobody, did it. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN says he was the man, with the street rails he lot 1 down in London, which were pulled up and thrown at him by the City authorities. Mr. DURANT, the Vice-President, gave some interesting information in the examination still progressing in the New York Courts. One thing is certain that all interested in its start have feathered their nests till they have become the most downy in the States. Whether GEORGE FRANCIS ITRAIN started the Union Pacific Railway or not, he left England with everything with which he was eemneeted in a state of collapse. The flag, he main tains it was he who flew so defiantly in the face:of a hostile Europe, over eteue,..preeleceasor the Lon don American, had been hauled down, and his rails pulled up; but now Mr. TRAIN is building palatial residences, that at Newport at an expenditure of some hundred thousand dollars. The testimony 'given in the investigation showed the enormous profit made by the contractors; and the contractors • were the promoters ; the whole neatly worked out through another company called the Crddit Mo bilier. The Court insisted on the production of the papers and books ; Mr. DURANT so strenuously re sisted that the Judge entertained a motion to Wm- mit him for contempt. The safe was in the office; the combination key in the pocket of Somebody Else, and that Somebody Else nowhere. The Judge . ordered the safe to be blown open, but the safe, too, resisted even more strenuously than Mr. DURANT, as if bent upon being a fine advertisement for its maker. The best of this joke, if it be a joke at all, is, that JAMES FISK (junior), of Erie notoriety, is the self-constituted champion of the public against this railway jobbing. Mr. TRACY, counsel for the defence, asserted that the Receiver had once been through the safe, and had found in it only an old almanac and one dollar and a half. About two centuries ago, replied Mr. STOUGHTON, a lawyer on the other side, a certain JOHN HAMPDEN made a great fuss over a few shillings of ship money. Mr. Meer retorted that he had beard of JAMES FISK in several capa cities, but never before as the philanthropist and patriot "JOHN HAMPDEN." how they had heard of Mr. Fisx was stated by another counsel for the defence, Mr. M'FARLANE, who insisted on reciting a precedent why a Receiver should not be ap pointed. "It was one of the Erie cas3s wherein the plaintiff in this suit was sought to be restrained from ravage and pillage, of which he thought he had shown him to be guilty. In that case a re ceivership of the railroad had been denied on mo tion. Was this man (Mr. Fish - ) yet unwhipt of justice to obtain an order ex parte, without proof, which had then been denied on the fullest proof ? It is ' , rasing strange that a Director who led in the affairs which made the Erie notorious should prosecute in this dog eat dog way ; but Mr. FisK, with more than American versatility, is ready for any character, from the pulpit of the Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER to " The Wickedest Man in New York." That the projectors of the railway have made a good thing out of it is undeniable, while it is equally true that they have accomplished a great work. The world could not expect the road to be substantially f Jrmed, aul doubtless the Comtnis- Blotters lately appointed are justified in reporting adversely. But the Government may compel the Company again to go over the work, to ballast, and, to use a favourite word in the United States, to reconstruct it. At Washington a contest has been progressing between the 'Union Pacific and I-- - - -; - ------ --*.'-' e ---- -ee f 3 -- --- -, -- - i ,l Utah. - - the former desires the spot, to be Monument. Point on the Great Salt Lake, the latter Ogden in the Salt Lake Valley. As yet the Central is successful, Ogden being named by the Senate Committee, though the Union Pacific hail been completed some time ago, 25' miles beyond that town, while the Central Milk had not reached within a consider. able distance of Monument Point. The Central alleges that its rival is not finished to Ogden as stated, as there are several miles of temporary track in the Wasatch Mountains, 30 miles east of Ogden, with grades exceeding 200 feet to the mile ; and two tunnels which could not be finished till the 30th of April, by which time the Central would have laid its track to Ogden City. The Union retorts by asserting au over-issue of Government Bonds to the Central, that the track is badly built, &c., and the Commissioners on that point seem to bear out the recriminations of both companies. In Iced, on one Saturday, a few weeks ago, the Union finished 6 miles of its road, at which rate a railway could be completed between London and -Liverpool uuder forty days. Still enough rem tins to show that enormous ingenuity and energy have been expended on both roads, especially the Central. Take for instance the means used to protect the elevated portions most exposed, from snow in winter. For twenty-two miles a shed has been constructed, which appears like a tunnel sixteen feet high, not including the pitch of the roof, and sixteen feet wide. It is made of the best timber procurable, braced together, and firmly bolted to the rocks, and where snow slides, the roof is carried with extra strength to the cliffs, so as to conduct the falling masses over the road down the chasms. This snow-shed covers 43 acres, and 40,000,000 feet of timber have been used in framing it. We have said that the undertaking brings out in a high de gree American characteristics. It was a grand con ception ; it was carried through with extraordinary speed and success ; it was used as a means for job bing, the plunder being Bonds in millions, and estates equalling principalities, and in success it opens with everybody at loggerheads, with half-a dozen lawsuits, and the point of junction, a vanish ing point which no one can determine ; coupling a strange amount of grandeur and of littleness, asso ciating names with a work worthy of a combined world, with mean motives and insatiable plunder. Mr. Thomas C. Bowie, belonging to the En gineer Corps of the Noah Missouri Railroad, was killed by falling into a cellar in Kansas .City on the 30th March. He was a nephew Of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, also of the present Governor of Maryland, and was formerly con nected with the United States Coast Survey. Dr. Guy R. Phelps, President of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Ciompany,died at his residence in Hartford, Thuts , lay morning, March 18, aged G 7. He graduated ac Yale in 1825, and directed his attention to insurance in 1846. He signed, either as secretary or pre sident, 97,000 policies, and paid $8,000,000 in losses. H e had an insurance on his life for $20,000, $15,000, of which was in his own company, and the rest in the Mutual Bene fit of New Jersey. Senator Sprague is described by himself as " LID orator." A correspondent says he speaks " with his hands in his pantaloons pockets, with 117 s arms akimbo, or his hands clasped under his coat tails.
