The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden ticalthose of last year by in amount with those of 1866. They ar e l ess th an n early £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the a m o un t of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of th e risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of Z 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} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directo . s. pvsented at the Attual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 18G8 1. The sum of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,695 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £1.00,8 8 3, being the smallest since 1839, 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 t0..,C219,769, notwith•<tanding - 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 eny previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby iucreascd to £1,598,906. The following are among the distiuctivo features of the Society - : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the w - ole of Lifo, where the ngf , 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.

Office, 54, Che9,pshlo, London, P.O X BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, U\T- I FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, ntul UN CIIALLENGEATILM, issit,.d by the I'IWUNTIAL MO:AMA NM: -- trEntlf - .25..NY, LU d E.C. Est :IVA shed 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not onfrequently unreel porsens invite lto as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life ASSIMIIIee is in their oninion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to p-ornulgfite the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them Which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Uuchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons 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 cialls 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 pentium 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 HOSPITAL, for WOMEN, Sobo-square. —Bankers; Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co.; Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co.—The Committee APPEAL very earnestly for CONTRIBUTIONS, The Hospital is now open on Mondays, Wedne , alays, and Fri days to out-patients who aro treated without letters of recommendation. HENRY B. INGRAM, Secretary. THE ASSOCIATION for th e WELFARE o f the BLIND, 210, Oxford-street, and 127, Euston-road. Patroness—Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN. This Institution affords employment in various ways to 172 blind men and women. Pensions to various amounts are granted to the blind who cannot earn their own living. 500 blind men and women aro applying for help, which cannot be given for WANT of FUNDS. Contributions will be thankfully received by the Secre tary, Rev. C. B. REID, M.A. 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 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. 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 bolding 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 anv office in the Kingdom.

DANL. coDnai, Sec. fir Clwien-street CheaDside, Charles Reade's new story, " Put Yourself in His Place," occupies a prominent position in the current num ber of the Cornhill. As might have been expected from its introductory passages, its scenes arc startling and its incidents painful. The unfortunate victim of the jealousy and prejudice of his fellJw-workmen tried all that reasou could suggest by way of precaution, and evinced a courage that was surprising. ; but his efforts were unavailing. The result of his conferences with the secretaries of the different unions was niost unsatisfactory, and the devices to which the conspirators resorted are ingeniously desvpibed. Mr. Cheetharn, the master, conveys the impression of being a man who is nit easily daunted, but, single-handed, he could not face the evil and counteract the mischief that had been wrought by timorous and indifferert employers. The closing scene of this instalment leaves Henry Little in a desperate conditon, for the persecutions of his enemies have come to a climax, and an explosion of gunpowder in his forge has well-nigh decided the fate of the "obnoxious worictnan." So far this story bids fair to fulfil its promise, and to represent the abuses of a system that has been per verted from its original purpose, and has outraged justice in its course of violence and terror. "Lettice Lisle's Adventures " may serve to interest, and the chief characters met with in the tale are described in a natural manner. The scene in the prison when Lettice visits her unfortunate father is most effective. " Out of School in the Middle Ages " is an article well worthy of con sideration, and may improve the reader's acquaintance with the doings of an earlier generation. In modern days a student's life is supposed to be a sedentary one, but it was far otherwise in the Middle Ages. The " medimval student was notorious for his propensity to wandering." Scarcely a name that was celebrated in literature at that period but may be traced from one end of Christendom to the other in the pursuit of learning. It was deemed advisable to make the tour of Western Europe, in order to complete an education. Thomas Platter, a contem porary of Luther, was the son of a poor woman, who destined him for the priesthood, and, in accordance with the practice of those days, he wandered about with a group of other boys. On his return he had learnt a little of every dialect then current in Germany, and he was anxious to make his acquirements known. " Bless us," said his relatives, "our Tommy speaks so profoundly that we can't make out one-half he says." But for all that he did not then know how to read. I meet with some in teresting details in the article on " Modern Venetian Glass, and Enamel Mosaics," and it is most satisfactory to find that such rapid strides have been made during two years in the manufactures of glass and of enamel mosaics. It is said that if the present efforts continue, and the commonest luck attend them, " Venice will once more reign supreme in the magic regions from which she herself believed her children to be for ever banished." About thirty years ago, two Muranese artists set to work to discover the lost secrets of the manu facture of enamel, and they succeeded so well that they received the gold medal from the Venetian Academy. Dr. Salviati, an enterprising and art-loving lawyer has lent his valuable assistance to these persevering men, and he has opened a mosaic school, which has been attended with the best results. It is believed that much of the success is due to the unusual circumstance of the mosaics being manufactured in the studio, instead of on the spot as heretofore. This history of the enamel mosaics and glass revival is gratifying alike to the lover of art and to the disciple of progress. Blackwood makes a beginning in. the standard old style. The last instalment of " Doubles and Quits"—for this excellent tale takes a regrettable turn and comes to a conclusion—is followed by an elegant memoir of Keble. Sir John Coleridge's life of the religious poet is the text upon which the essayist expresses a fair estimate of Keble's genius in a few pages of very graceful writing. Then follows the first instalment of a history of Sir John Lawrence and his times. The task is one which may be advantageously performed, for we have not too much of recent Indian history, especially considered with special reference to the parts played by individual men. So far this review of the late Viceroy's career begins well, but the most important part is yet to come. The instalment leaves off at the spring of 1856. Getting beyond this, the remainder of Blackwood is not all that could be wished. Scarcely does " Cornelius O'Dowd" succeed in relieving the dismal swamp of political writing which follows. For Cornelius, though as amusing as ever, is himself intensely political. Two-thirds of his con tributions are devoted to gossip on," New Series " and the "Ballot." In the former chapter Cornelius play fully satires the practice to which editors are prone, of announcing an entirely fresh start on the part of their periodical in the shape of a New Series. But whilst lam being entertained with this banter, I find Cornelius suddenly IlltuVe-Into,,the-nioral,-anLe.nlarge upon the expediency ‘N . 1 7 RP: F: HOSPITAL fofIVOITEN of statesmen opening a new series of opinions, with many kJ and CHILDREN, Lower Seymonr-street, Portman- . amusing cuts at the Cabinet which has just commenced Rum re.

Cornelius O'Dowd's politics can, however, be tolerated, but surely we might be spared some of the heavy dose which follows. The subject of " The Triumvirate " is sufficiently explained by its title, and its purport is sufficiently clear from its appearing in Blackwood. The three leaders of the Liberal Cabinet are tolerably well patronised, tolerably well abused ; and then comes the summary that Mr. Lowe may make a statesman, hut that by no possibility can either of the other two turn out well, And, as if this was not sufficient, we are served with a parting broadside in the shape of " Mr. Gladstone's Bill." The air of politics lingers about the American article. Altogether, the sameness of the latter part of this month's number is oppressive. I ought not to forget an article on the armies of Europe, which contains some very useful information. The Churchman's Shilling Magazine (Houlston and Wright) opens with Mr. Town.shend Mayer's new story, "The Trials of Margaret Brandreth." This first instal ment is rather introductory to the main story, and sketches the events of more than thirty years. At the end of that time the heroine is presented to us young, beauti ful, and loving —one in whom the reader is fully prepared to take interest. Two other tales are con tinued. Of the literary articles, that by Prebendary Walcott on " The Church in the Catacombs," and that by Mr. Ker, on " Easter Day in Russia," are particularly interesting. Mr. Merrin deals with " Curio sities of Reporting," and lets newspaper readers into some of the difficulties of editors by quoting for them some of the " copy" which he is accustomed to receive from his correspondents. The Rector of Tenby says some good things on a very well-worn subject, " Preaching, and how to make it Effective." Any number of amusing stories might be told of preachers, such as that of the one who by mistake delivered to a rustic congregation a university sermon, and referred his hearers to the Septuagint and the Fathers; or that one of the young, newly-ordained cler gyman who had inherited a batch of MS. sermons, and found himself beginning with the words, "Forty-and eight years have I laboured among you." Unfortunately, what is sport to the reader, is, if not deat h, at least s piritual starvation, to the hearer. The Overland Mail from San Francisco, which had been snowed up in the Rocky Mountains for threo weeks, arrived in New York on Sunday morning, March 14. Seventy-fivo bags of letters were received ; the news paper mail would follow soon. The dates received were from the 4th of February to the 25th, inclusive. Imme diately upon the announcement of the receipt of this enor mous accumulation of mail matter the entire force of the clerks of the New York Post-office was summoned from their Sunday rest, and it was expected that by business hours on Monday morning the mail would be "distri buted," and ready for delivery.

AMERICAN FOSSIL BOTANY.—M. Lesquereux says the American continent is " the only part of the world where questions of general significance concerning palaeontological distribution can be studied with some chance of satisfactory conclusions." The few vegetable remains obtained from the Tertiary of Tennessee and of Mississippi, and from the Cretacean formation of Nebraska and California, have demonstrated facts which science was scarcely prepared to admit :—" First, That the floras of our ancient formations already had pe culiar types, which separated them from each other in the different continents. This is even evident in the vegeta tion of the coal measures. Therefore, the supposition of a continental union of Europe with America, ve d IDS: is pro Atlantides or other intermediate lands, essential types to be untenable. Second, That the formations have passed into our preset g_ of the old floras, of the cretaceous ° ve of America, for e o rt r ia a r r y e preserved to our time.
