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 £5 12s. 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 oonsiderable 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 5} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dlt. LIABILITIES.

FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.U. 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 the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. 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 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 Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Polity, 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 voynzing, 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-fire pars, 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 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 polies under these tables being unforfeitable and uacon 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 HAItBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

Patron—her Most Gracious MAJESTY the Qurtx. Vice-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. ProsidentL-His Grace the Duko of litccLEtcx, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admision to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Govornors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the dostiLuto sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the promises of this hospital aro capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contrib , :,tions aro received by their hankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

We have already announced the result of the Repub. lican State Conventions in Pennsylvania and Ohio ; but the details are interesting as skewing the utter collapse of the project of making a war with England part of the Republican platform. The committee appointed to pre pare resolutions for the Pennsylvanian Convention trade 'so allusion whatever to the Alabama claims as a party question. The resolution upon which they agreed merely expressed confidence in General Grant's policy towards tngland, and approved the rejection of the Clarando:..- ohnson treaty. When these mild expressions were Submitted to the Convention, the war party at once took exception to them. Another resolution, insisting upon "a settlement of the Alabama claims on a basis whieh will fully vindicate the honour of this Govermnent," was proposed, instead of that drawn up by the cominittte. The war party supported their proposal .by vigorous speeches. One said that the substitute meant, "Fight if we cannot get justice." Another declared that when the nation asserted an unmistakable right t should maintain its position at all Lazards and by all means. He for one would not be scared at the word "fight," if that was the meaning of the sub stitute. This gentleman seemed to entertain some respect for the "British Lion," but the Americana, he thought, ought to vindicate their rights against England, just as they would against Spain. But this patriotic way of considering the matter availed nothing. The reception these bellicose orators met with proved that their party was in the minority. The committee's mild resolution, , ind not that of the war party, was adopted. A mass meeting of the Republicans—held to ratify the doings of the Convention—was afterwards held. Some of the speeches were warlike, others not so. One orator quietly intimated that they had enough widows to care for, and the decision of the Convention was ratified. 'The Republicans of Ohio would have none of this war project- The resolutions passed alluded only in the most general terms to the foreign policy of the Grant Cabinet. The Alabama controversy was not mentioned. So much for the war platform. The proceedings of these two local Conven tions are of much importance, for of all the American States only New York can vie in wealth and population with Pennsylvania and Ohio. THE CUBAN INSURRECTION. It is acknowledged that the sudden vigour of the American Government in suppressing the filibustering expeditions was owing to its desire to maintain its posi tion in the Alabama controversy. It was impossible to complain of the escape of the " Or whilst vessels full of arms and men were sailing away to Cuba in open daylight. Indeed, the Spanish Minister was frankly told that the people of the United States sympathised with the Cubans, but that the expeditions would be stopped to avoid violation of the neutrality laws. What ever may be the motive, the result has been highly satis faCtory to Spain. Considerable hauls of the " patriots " have been made in New York almost every day, and, in fact, filibustering there is at an end. The effect is that whereas all recent news was in favour of the insurgents, the Spaniards are now gaining the advantage. THE INDIAN WAR. The accounts from the Indian territory are not satin• factory. The Indian agent in Arizona says that many whites are killed and robberies constantly committed, and gives detailed accounts of several Indian fights and in:a• nacres already reported. In Kansas great excitement prevails against the Indians. The newspapers call on the people to begin a war of extenn:nat.ion, ha the autho cities endeavour to restrain them. The Indians are now, however, fighting with each other, and this, it is thought, may " save a good deal of trouble." THE GROG-SHOP ABROAD- M. Dubois Thorn, Governor of Brabant, has opened the local council of that Belgian province with a speech devoted entirely to the interests of the working man. It does not appear that M. Thorn found anything new to say on this question, but it is a little remarkable that such a speech should be devoted wholly to such a subject. It is remarkable, too, that he attributed the evils which beset the working man in Belgium to the wine-shop, and expressed the belief that the only mode of improving the e on of the humbler classes was to get rid of tFat curse. Le cabaret, voila la rlaie l M. Thorn has no hope that the working man will be greatly benefited by being paid a share of profits instead of fixed wages. Economy is his great resource, but saving is impossible so long as the cabaret retains its present favour. Give up the wine-shop, and not only will the money spent there be save 1 , but the Alonday's holiday, or rather idleneFs, which appears to be as common in Belgium as in England, would be abandoned also. It may be noted that M. Ju'es Simon, one of the advanced Liberals just returned to the French Parliament, has recently expressed precisely the same sentiments. And yet the French and Belgian; are, admittedly, far more sober than the English. But it seems that the same evil exists everywhere. THE SSOPTSI. The Russian Government has dealt very severely the leading members of the Skoptsi, the miserable sect whose chief rite is a barbarous self-mutilation, and whose chief object is to overthrow the existing form of Musco vite rule. One Plotitsyne, a merchant of the first order, has been sentenced to the loss of his civil rights, and to banishment to Siberia, for promoting the spread of these doctrines. Twenty-four other persons, mostly Women, have likewise been ordered off to Sibpia, but some of them will be spared, it is expected, on account of their great age. What has become of the enormous sums of money found in the possession of these wretches no ono can tell. HUNGARY. An explosion of fire-damp, resulting in the loss of 119 lives, has just taken place in a coalpit at Darwin, ii 4 Hungary. THE WAR or 186 G. A semi-official correspondent of a Hamburg paper—, apparently a diplomatist —has set matters right about the intrigues which preceded the war of 1866. He says there can be no doubt that a treaty was concluded between France and Austria in the middle of June. By this arrangement Italy was to have Venice, Austria to be compensated by Prussian Silesia, and France—it may be presumed —was to be paid with the Rhine frontier. Nothing could be more admirable than the manner in which this trap was set—except the style in which the plotters themselves fell into it. MARKE7 S-IHIB DAY. LIVERPOOI COTTON MARKET.
