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 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 £93152, 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 whole of Life, where the age does net exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. 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 CUTULIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London, S.W. ABSOLUTE 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 tw t t h ni e Fdi o,pu. which e n s tsc e iiii,, n eaa t lirli ee T abn a sego b en l aae absolutely-es o n n d d e i r t i t o h n e a m l , l. of the customary conditions, have resolved to p romul g ate s it e a n b r l a e n , ee U e nc u - i U es n u f e or A fe o a l n u d tel t y e e eferred to, many persens hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all 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 premium 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 y, Polic 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, th e exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will bo 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 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 A ssurances — 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 imforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also Chernchalgl on any ground whatever. They may efore 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.

HENRY ROSE, j The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by--viz., £134.811 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 £sl2s. per cent. The premiums 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 Tear 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 5 i per cent. on the tot al income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the nest bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPOI\ My knowledge of Italian Hagiology does nckgo star S as to name the saint who presides over rainy weather here, but the Roman Switbin, whoever he is, has enjoyed no respite even during the Easter holidays, and the few hours' sunshine yesterday only just sufficed for the Pope's visit to the Minerva, the rain falling all the afternoon and evening. The ceremony of the morning, however, was a most brilliant one, and had been transferred from the Maunday Thursday, on which, this year, the Feast of the Annunciation fell. Twenty-five poor girls, taken from the ranks of the people, and natives of Rome, or the Com marca, are annually dowered, on Lady Day, by the con fraternity or guild of the Annunziata, the Pope always assisting, and distributing the dowries. About ten o'clock his Holiness arrived in full state, the magnificent gala carriage, the mule and its 'purple robed rider, a prelate bearing the processional. cross, an the sumptuous elnipazes of the senators an•.l the munici pality, and th-ise of the cardinals, being ail put in requi sition for the Occasion. The great lintel of the Minerva w; crowded from the entres9l to the very roof, every suite of apartments having a gay and numerous co•npauv on its balcony. Madame (le Lamorriere's lodging was one of the centres of the French Catholic society, Mrs. Augustus Craven, the Duchess de Oass,S Brissac, and the Dile de Polignac being among her guests, while a great muster of English visitors took place in the apartments of Mrs. Berrington (of Malvern Court), Welds, Tou riellys, Petres, Fitzherberts, Blundells, Vavasours, and Stourtons joining heartily in the cheering of their French and Italian fellow religionists. A very large party of royal persons were also entertained by the Accademia, or Diplomatic College, whose balcony is exactly opposite th e church. The windows of the Hispano American College were also crowded, as were the houses along the Via Papale, by which the Pope was to arrive. The Square rang again and again with cheers as he entered the church, and it was observed that every vestige of his fatigues of Holy Week had disappeared, and that he walked with his usual vigour. He took his place on the throne prepared to the right of the altar, and assisted from thence at High Mass, which was sung by the Cardinal Legate of Bologna (Guidi) a Dominican, as are all the monks of the Minerva. The girls to be dowered were ranged before the altar, each robed in white—a sort of fine muslin mantle curiously adapted to the form by pins artistically placed in the stuff, reaching to the nose and falling to the feet, over a white skirt. A wreath of flowers is placed on the head of each of those destined for the marriage state, while one or two who had chosen the cloister wore a crown of a different form in metal. The " Annuantate," as they are called from their white mantles, knelt in succession before the Pope, and received from him a purse containing the dowry, and a blessed medal as a souvenir of himself. Each girl, on returning to her place, is further presented by the Master of the Guild with a fan, a pair of gloves, and a bouquet of flowers. They walk in procession through the city accompanied by the matrons appointed to take charge of them, and are thus exhibited to the public, in order that they may be asked in marriage by honest and respectable workmen. The portion is £lO in English money, but as they are well trained and fitted for good wives, they are always eagerly sought for. A great number of Parmesan families have arrived for the marriage of their young Duke, Robert 1., which took place at an early hour this morning at the private chapel of the Pope. His Holiness, after saying his own Mass as usual, and hearing another in thanksgiving, as is his habit, took a slight refreshment, and returned to the chapel, where he found the royal party assembled. The Pope, after performing the marriage ceremony, addressed a short and very touching discourse to the royal couple, after which the bridal party repaired to St. Peter's, and prayed, as is the custom here, at the tomb of the Apostles. The usual crowd of sightseers flocked to the Basilica, and pressed on the passage of the Duke and the Duchess till the Swiss were called into most necessary requisition. Their Royal Highnesses leave this evening for the Castle of Caprirola, the pro perty of Francis 11., in right of his ancestors, the Dukes of Farnese, near the town of that name. A military emeute was only prevented in Naples by the discovery in time of a widely-spread Republican conspi racy. It is said on excellent authority here that the gar rison is to be strengthened by 50,000 French troops should a Republican movement succeed in Italy, and an imme diate reoccupation of Bologna will in such a case be effected. FOREIGN NOTES. THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. As might have been expected, a hitch has occurred in the negotiations between France and Belgium. The other day it was announced that M. FrZze-Orban, having finished the requisite quota of dinners and interviews, would return to Brussels to confer with his sovereign. It is now announced that the business is so far incomplete that a further delay in the French capital will be neces sary. There can be no doubt as to the nature of this difficulty. The Belgian Government desires one thing, the French Government another. The Emperor wishes to submit the contract between the Luxembourg and East of France Companies to a mixed commission. M. Frt're- Orban maintains that this contract is purely a Belgian affair, and he is averse to submitting the domestic arrange ments of his country to the revision of a fo - reign Power. The Belgian journals still assert that the point will not be conceded ; but the presence of M. Ffere-Orban at Paris sufficiently chews that the French Government is putting on great pressure. REPUBLICAN MOVEMENTS 1N ITALY. Our Florence correspondent states that several non commissioned officers of the Italian army have been arrested, and that some of the barracks have been minutely searched. Considerable Republican disaffection is pre valent in the army. A serious outbreak is not appre hended, but it is well known that the Republican leaders are actively working, and waiting their opportunity. THE SPANISH CROWN. The Madrid correspondent of the Independance Belge states that previous to making inquiry whether Dom Fernando would accept the crown, the Spanish Ministers sought to learn the opinion of the National Chamber. Each Minister assembled twenty or thirty deputies at his residence and laid the situation before them. The con dition of Spain necessitated an immedite solution of the candidature problem : would they vote for Dom Fernando' The canvass, it seems, was not remarkably successful. In spite of this personal application, seconded by the efforts of Senor Olozaga, no more than 111 members of the Cortes were found favourable to the Portuguese Prince. Eight only pronounced for Espartero. Add to these the fifty-seven Republicans, and the total is 176, which leaves 154 who support the Duke of Montpansier's claims. It is thought that the Cuban deputies will also be parti sans of the Duke. The Spectator stigmatises the new Con stitution as a fraud. it is contrived for the express pur pose of giving the King. of Spain a position similar to the King of Prussia. THE ELECTIONS IN ROIIIIANIL. The other day we published a telegram announcing that the Ministerialists were winning the Roumanian elections. Further intelligence now arrives to the effect that the Opposition, Bratiano's party, has attempted to provoke popular tumults. The majority of the electors, however, have remained faithful to the cause of order. The Opposition has elected some of its leaders, but the Government is gaining a strong majority. This result is of some importance, for the Opposition is the reactionary party, while the Ministerialists support a policy of peace. Beyond doubt the party in power hocusses all these Eastern elections, and invariably contrives to get a majo rity ; but the result in this instance is not the less satisfactory. LITERARY. —An interesting feature of the "Griffith Gaunt trial" in New York was Bin Reade's ac count of how his novel "White Lies".came to be written. A. Maquet, a Frenchman, had written a play, " Chateau de Gautier," which Mr. Reade purchased with a view of translating and producing it in England. He was to pay £4O for this right, but it was stipulated that if he failed to have it accepted, £2O should be refunded. Failing to have it performed, this condition was complied with ; but Mr. Reade, not to lose the labour already bestowed upon it, then determined to use the plot and incidents, con structing a story, but . before doing this be sent back the .£2O to Magnet. After the novel was published, Magnet wrote Mr. Reade a letter acknowledging his fairness and honourable dealing. Owing to the copyright law then existing between France and England he could not ac knowledge his indebtedness to M a q uet for the plot and incidents without losing his own copyright, but as soon as the law was changed he fully explained the whole matter. Mr. Porter C. Bliss, lately from Paraguay, has been appointed a clerk in the State Departtnent. He h as the discrepancy noticed between his narrative of the circumstances of his release given to the newspapers and the letter to his parents, which was also published, oy saying that when ho was first . received on board the Sandwich Guerrifre the officers treated him kindly, but their man.. ner afterwards changed. The affair ‘vill soon be inveati gated by Congress.—Captain Walter M Gibson, the well known Arnerh an advcnturer, has writtsu to the Tribune be ins a i l d l e nl o e f a . l t Lhu r t Ed it looks to propose a philanthropic scheme regarding leland immigration.
