HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 98. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 88. 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 £46,070 138. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5.125. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

'7 ■ ~~ ` .."'y 3 OFEJIE'ND, GUILVEI, AND CO. The committal of the Overend and Gurney directors by the Lord Mayor, last Wednesday, on a charge of conspiring to defraud, is the great event of the week in London. To understand the feeling excited in the city the position of these gentlemen now to be tried on a criminal charge should be known. They were at the head of the greatest discount house in the world ; their name, like that of Rothschild, was synonymous with wealth ; they were city dignitaries ; they were county magnates, combining an overwhelming influence in Lombarcla street with vast estates and princely establishment s in Norfolk and other English counties. Tho nett profits from their bill-broking business alone exceeded £1 . 20,000 a year on an amount of paper annually discounted of between fifty and seventy millions sterling. No busineSs is heta t o be more safe only requiring a keen knowledge of the men with whom to work. It appears almost incre dible that a sober, respectable firm so lone, so well, and even grandly estas)lished as to heves become an English institution, should have deliberately left their broad, smooth, easy path of fortune for the tortuous, mil, indicate byeways of speculation, concealment, anti ruin. The world, how_ ever, furni,lies examples in such numbers that people ought not to be surprised at any case crop ping up, and, after all, they are easily explained. A long tide of prosperity gives security, security causes neglect, and neglect, where large sus as of money are concerned, leads surely to dis aster. The Gurneys lived on their estates i n the enjoyment to b 3 derived from their high position, leaving affairs at the " corner house" to run on in the well-worn groove. They were con tent to receive reports from those they trusted, in stead of going through the labour of investigating and working out the figures for themselves. Tiles - profits for the senior partners were ample, but probably there were those below_in whosesbaada then lay the power who desired to increase these profits so as to leave a larger margin for themselves. London, more particularly about the period of the change in their business, was infested with a class who called., thenisalves financial agents mere sharpers atelidventurers—whose business it was to' procure fit#tis for contractors, for scheny% in n state of collapse, for bubble companies, and the endless varieties of conspiracies against the pockets of the - public. These were the - most 'prominent actors in all the scOaddrelistn which in so short a time has fixed a stigthis on the commercial cha racter of England, ruined thousands of families, and dissipated 'countless millions. When the Li mited Liability Act was passed the City to them became a field_ of golden harvest. Companies bY the hundred were formed, directors procured, secretaries appointed, and the different enterprises launched. The public now find it difficult to understand what could haise become of the money paid up on the shares of these companies, and how the enormous liability beyond that was incurred. Let them imagine a comfortable back office in which sits a secretary of one of these companies and a financial agent. " I assure you it will be a mine of wealth," says the latter, " we only need the few thou sands I mentioned. Of course, there will be ex penses in starting the company, and we can afford 4,000 to you to be used as a portion of the Pre liminary Expenses." From that moment it becomes - the interest of the secretary to farther the scheme. What he has to do is to carry one or two of his directors, as he calls them, with him, and presently a portion of the shareholders' money has been ex changed for worthless paper. Indeed it would be well if these men stopped there, if they did not pledge the credit as well as dissipate the funds of the unfortunate persons who trusted theth. Does it surprise, that secretaries with no character or stand ing in the commercial world, dealing with the money of persons unknown to them, should frequently have given way to such temptation, when we see a pros perous, old-established firm like Overend, Gurney, and Co., thus ruined. They left the vital interests of the business in the hands of those open to such temptation, and the tempters come like maggots in neglected cheese. They grow there. ; and men who, but for the neglett, might have remained leanest, fall. It was an easy in titer for the firm of Overend, Gurney' to 'Mike, large profits from their hones s t bill-booking business ; but it was not an easy matter once they got off the track to get back. It is a fatal delusion to Bur pose that they could try a speculation and throw it up on finding it did not answer. A lady might as well begin the process of being made "Beautiful for ever," and abandon the glorious vision at the threshold. The folly that brought her there would carry her through, and all the more surely that she had overcome the shame and repug. nance of the first step. Once Mr. Edwards was admitted, the result could not be doubtful; but we are appalled at the swiftness of the ruin. Mephii topheles, at least allowed Faust to realize his fan cies, though they were mere delusions, but these financial agents gave nothing. They were dis graceful to come in contact with, they were not even alluring further than their lies could colour attractively the sepulchre. They worked on the broad principle, that all men have their price, from kicks to halfpence, and they considered that it was an exception rarely to be met with when the price was not half-pence. What gave these men their strength was that generally they dealt with person s man agi ug companies who only disposed of the money of others, and unfortunately for the gentle men committed last Wednesdsy, unfortunately for the large body of shareholders upon whose heads fell the consequences of their neglect, this firm prior to the conversion of the business bad allowed itself in a great measure to drift into that category. The public appear to be astounded at the evidence wrung from such men as Edwards. Why, it is a notorious fact, known in every bank parlour that the city was filled with such men, and one of the hardest tasks of honest banking and financial establishments was to fend of their attacks ; the more so, as at that time competition for business was strong, and they often could get the ear and support of some one influential in the establishment. We desire more to allude to the cause of this extraordinary failure than to touch on the case, which must be tried in a criminal court; but, from the examination before the Lord Mayor, the public can form a broad opinion of the circumstances. The first thing which strikes us that the men who wrought the ruin have escaped, and the men who trusted them are the victims ; and this has been almost invariably the rule in the The betrayed of all these Joint - Sto ck concerns. t r t u h s e t e p d ub t l o i o t t r h u e s r t s e , d a n t d o t t t h ihs e e, y ‘ G y e u r r e n eysa cruelly n d that the same b G e a tr r a n y ey ed s e d as ruined nearly mhaevaeessameadrtaegdeefeoyr iwt.er.eTehmepineyex which i n f a t i l h e e d duringsaying eras explained theall theerisis, Joint-Stock w hiehtnayc be concerns e t x ha el t aini the t y he Let them inquire what "fell amongthieves." "Incredible !" shareholders, "that men in their senses how they distributed the tshoulde d r e o t a s r u i c e b g u e s t n a en. " money for doing the incredible business, and they go on the straight and simple path to the truth. Let the shareholders, who are gazing in astonish ment at the mad management, take the hint, and they will find out that it was not such pure folly after all, for while they are now tramping through the mud the men who really managed arc rolling in easy carriages among the " swells " of Rotten-row. We say, again, let them when they desire to be on the right road, inquire in this direction and prosecute these inquiries with as little mercy as these men have shown them. But we fear to US•3 a vulgarism they have now " got the wrong sow by the ear," though it is more than probable that the trial may direct them aright, and we can only regret that the prosecution does not go a step higher to the source of the evil. Through great individual suffering good can scarcely fail to result, and the catastrophe oc curred to the house best calculated to point the moral so sharply that it penetrates every breast ; for, when the Gurneys are sent by the Lord Mayor for trial in a criminal court, who are the commercial men in the metropolis that endeav our to make the public atone for their own n eglect of business who can hereafter consider themselves secure?—Angle- America» lim es. - ;A -- 71--- - 7--z., THE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—Every Policy effected with this Society by the 3ist inst. will have the advantage of one year in every Annual Bonus.
