The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised as sets 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 proniums 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. Th e 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 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

The news from New Zealand that the Maories had surprised the settlers and massacred several European families, committing horrible atrocities, will again painfully fix on that colony the attention of the Empire. In REUTER'S sensational language " men were burnt alive, children mutilated, and the dead bodies of women thrown to the pigs." Of course, the authorities, that is the Colonial Govern ment, are blamed, as the British troops having been withdrawn, no one else remains on whom to affix the great mismanagement. The colonists ought, surely, by this time, to have learnt to be more sparing of their c•nsure of others, and take the qu;!stion into serious consideration how far they are to blami thennielves. We would be slow in raising such a question, under such circumstances, had the example not been set by the colonists them- In few other countries have British troops suffered more severely, and in none have they met widi hiss sympathy in their heavy losses, or been Inc): e severely crit lei. ed. The papers joined the setthri in unsparing denunciation. Her MAJESTY . S soldiers were tonne 1 worse than use less, and were said more to hamper than to for e, ard the work in which they were employed. This cry, taken np in England, did Innen to war,ls enforcing on Cie Government the rec .11 of the field force maintained iu New Zealand at such a heavy expense to the Imperial Treasury. But no sooner had the regiments left than the demoraliza tion caused by the protection they had afforded be came apparent. The settlers, who were ready to fatten on the expenditure of the British Commis sariat and to abuse the soldiers, were neither ready to fight, to train for fighting, nor to pay ; and they drifted into the terrible state of affairs now exist ing. A glance at the map will show what that is ; but we must premise the few observations we have to make by the remaK - Chie — i'V . S.74s,G(Oned to the Northern 'slug, the centre of which is heldliy" the natives. The Southern Island has no more to do with this conflict, as far as personal danger goes, than have the people of England or of Ireland. The geographical features are peculiar. From about the centre, towering over Lake Taupo, rise a chain of stupendous mountains which taper off on many sides downwards to the ocean. The New Zealanders hold that centre, and therefore command the sources of the rivers, and can follow down their courses into the wide valleys where the settlers are located towards the sea, selecting any one for attack. The telegram shows that Poverty Bay was the point last struck, but a sentence further on announces that " the colonial forces on the west coast have retreated before the rebels, and a large tract of territory had been abandoned," which is tantamount to saying that the war was general over the country below the city of Auckland. Poverty Bay south of East Cape is, perhaps, the most easterly bay of New Zealand. The colonial troops retreating on the western coast were at New Plymouth, the most westerly settlement of the northern island, which shows that the Maories had gathered in force for a simultaneous attack east and west. The plan of savage warfare answers the purpose of savages, for the cruelties perpetrated create such terror that they cause a general panic, and men unaccustomed to bloodshed and suffering, actin , * s , under its influ ence, get a scare, the moral effect of which it takes long to obliterate. But like everything else, men be come used to being roasted alive, and all the horrors savages can perpetrate as witnessed in the Western Territories, otherwise the Indians of the Plains would have barred the way to the Rocky Moun tains, and the Indians of the Eastern States might have stopped the settlement of America. The Western scout is not to be scared by Indians, for he carries his own life as well as that of his enemy in the weapon he uses, and he generally manages, before he is captured, to blow out his brains. A similar class will arise among the now terror stricken colonists of New Zealand, but the induce ment must be given in the lands of the aboriginals. The Maories will then learn that the game they have chosen can be played with as much effect by the Anglo-Saxon as by themselves ; and perhaps after some terrible lessons, and with number,i sadly diminished, they may take their places among the settlers as civilized tueu. The question which rises in A ) doubtful au aspect is whether such savages ev(r can become civilized. All testimony concurred in placing the Maori at the head of savage races, He was supposed to be faithful to his engagements, to be generous, and even forgiving, in war. His reli gion had become the boast among missionaries, and he was even said to be the equal as an agriculturist or a mechanic, or a sailor, of the best settlers from England. Some actually denied that he had been a cannibal, and the reproach had almost ceased to be remembered against him. Ile had contended on almost superior terms with the flower of the British army, and a regiment., having scarcely an equal in fame in that long roll, had recoiled, panic-stricken and with fearful loss, iu a desperate encounter with these warriors. Their entrenchments were the ad- miration of scientific engineers, and the traverses by which they secured shelter against a storm of shot from Armstrong guns might be imitated, but not excelled. All at once we have this religious, brave, and intelligent race, not merely brutally mur dering the .settlers they surprised, but roasting them to death, mutilating children, eating the bodies of their victims, and potting the meat for their kinsmen in the interior. DILKE, in his work, Greater Britain, if we remember right, asserts that such tribes cannot be civilized, and gives some ex traordinary instances, which will be found in one of our back numbers, of sudden and uncontrollable re lapses into savagery. But what is the case of the C heyenne yo ung lady,on being reared in a fashionable school, who, when vexe3, went to her room, let down her back hair, and began to ho cvl—to this sadden re coil into the darkest night of barbarism of the Maories? It is easier to moralize thus than to sug gest a plan of operations. The island cannot be abandoned ; the sister colonies cannot afford a war of conquest against an enemy from whom nothing can be got but bullets and tomahawks. It lies, then, between the Imperial Government and the settlers in the North Island. If the settlers are cowed, the natives will literally gobble up all who remain unless the Horse Guards are directed to rescue them, on wbich event the greatest of all the wars in New Zealand will arise, and one simply of extermination. But it is possible that the settlers may be roused to vengeance, and men may give up ease and money making, to take the field in earnest. If so the fate of the natives will be as short, sharp, and decisive, as such wars can be ; that is scouting parties will he constantly on the move in the Northern island, and Maories' heads will fetch a higher price than the best tattooed specimens ever brought before. How ever shocking this may appear to Exeter Hall, it is coming, but should the philanthropists, with whom we have much sympathy, as doing great good in their generation, bitterly oppose Maori extermina tion, they are bound to propose another practicable course, not forgetting that the Christianization for merlythought nassigonalElygflailed. In conclusion, so we successful em ay remark that a nand's decision whether to aid the colony, or not, will hinge the future connection of such possessions. There in case Imperial aid is refused whose a is ll n eg o i t an a c c e ° N l :il Y l hereafter withstand the strain of any pressure or danger ; i n the event of a war with a nava l power the whole will at once declare their in dependence merely to Bare themselves from riitg a hw tta :su ck ' of ld and for the protection her rf declines ie e ni i r nas s i h stt i h p e p o i nd n u g tt .
