The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with thoso 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 expens•s 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 eluding 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.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN was elected Senator for Maine in the place of Senator Morrill, on the 19th Jan., in the Senate by 28, against Albert P. Gould's 2 ; and in the House by 118, against Albert P. Gould's 30. Mr. Hamlin was born in Paris, Oxford County, Maine, August, 1809. His father died while he was young, which compelled him to look after the farm he inherited instead of going to the University for which he had prepared. When of age he spent a year, as compositor, in a printing-office ; then read law, and was admitted to practise in 1833. From 1836 to 1840 he was a member of the Maine House of Representatives; but in 1843 he was sent to Congress, where he remained till 1847, when he went back to the Maine Legislature, and on the next year was elected to the United States Senate in succession to Fairfield, deceased, where he remained till 1857, his second term having nearly expired, when he resigned to become Governor of his State. This office he held but a few weeks, as he was induced again to take his seat in the Senate for a third term, which had but half closed when he was chosen for the second place on the Presidential ticket with Abra ham Lincoln. In his early life Mr, llamlic sewed the Democratic party, but he fell away from it after the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and on the 12th Juno, 1856, after the nomination of Buchanan on the Cin cinnati platform, he openly announced his separa tion. On the expiration of his term as Vice-Presi dent he was appointed by Mr. Johnson Collector of the port of Boston, which he resigned, August 28, 1866, finding himself in opposition to the policy to which the President had swing round. - • Thus honourably and recording his reasons in a letter to Mr Johnson, Mr. Hamlin again found himself on his little farm, having refused to hold a lucrative post in no way connect.d4vi ise r with politics, which lui b s e . coma have 'held with Irai tration, rather than incur evenlite suppuw.Liuu sanctioning a policy he wholly disapproved. It is satisfactory to record such acts, as they show that a political career in America can leave the keened sense of honour with some ; and it is remarkable to note how instinctively the people have appre ciated and held fast to such servants. CHARLES SUMNER was re-elected on the 19th of January for his fourth term for Massachusetts, the votes being in the Senate, Sumner 37, Abbott 2 ; in the House, Sumner 216, Abbott 14, Banks 1. Charles Sumner is now 58 years of age. At 19 he graduated at Harvard, and under the tutelage of Judge Story he was trained for the bar, to which he was admitted at 23, where he quickly attained eminence. At 25 he was engaged on Sumner's R-- ports, editing the American jurist and delivering law lectures. In the following year he travelled in Germany, Italy, and France, and remained a year in England, where he was received with distinction by the bar, the judges placing him, when he visited their courts, on the bench. He continued his pro fessional work until he commenced politics at the age of 34. His first great oration was delivered before the municipal authorities of Boston, on the true grandeur of nations ; another against the annexation of Texas, and a third on the anti slavery duties of the Whig party. Ile was elected to the United States Senate in 1850 by the " conscience" men of Massachusetts, by a contest which took three months of balloting in the House to decide, and then he scraped in without a vote to spare. Here we come again to a fine specimen of an American politician, and we are the more parti cular in remarking on the fact, as efforts have been made to create the impression in England that a man cannot be honourable and a politician, in Ame rica. Nothing could induce Charles Sumner to lobby, pledge, use any art, or make any promise to secure his election. His speech of May 19th and 20th, 1856, is considered the finest oratorical effort ever made in the Senate, and it was this that brought on him the assault of Brooks, which disabled him for four years. Massachusetts, of course, re-elected him in 1857 with only seven dissenting votes ; but he did not reappear in the Senate till 1859, when he instantly renewed his attack on the " domestic institution," showing the barbarism of Slavery. Throughout the war, as before it, Charles Sumner was the apostle of emancipation, and he worked with that strength which great ability concentrated L .; -- Like Thad Q'• tra nlear his miud, and the success which attended his efforts will leave his name associated with the freedom of a race and the abolition of slavery on a continent. As the chairman of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs Mr. Sumner has been of great value to Congress, and his re-election, in truth, interests foreign countries almost as much as his own State. He brings great legal knowledge - to bear on ques tion; with an honest spirit of fair play, while, as the first champion of freedom, his Republican principles cannot be questioned. This gives to his opinions a weight not only in the Senate but throughout the country, which is used in concilia tion and moderation. JOHN SCOTT was elected on the 19th January by the Pennsylvania Legislature in place of Mr. Bucka lew. He was born at Alexandria, in Buckingham county, and studied at Chambersburg, where he fitted himself for the law. His father, the Hon. John Scott, a tanner, represented the district from 1829 to 1831. John Scott married a daughter of the late George S. Lyster, and removed to the town of Huntingdon to practise law, where he soon gained a good local reputation, eventually becoming well known in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Though originally a Democrat he opposed Buchanan's election, and endeded by joining . the Republican ranks, but in 1860 he was Demo cratic candidate for the State Senate of lluntingdon District, when he was defeated, though elected next year to the Lower House as a War Democrat. In 1867 he was elected President of the Republican State Convention at Williamsport. The return for Pennsylvania of a man so little known, and one who has thus suddenly been thrust into this very high position, has caused great surpriss, the more so as he was not even mentioned a short time before in opposition to the powerful candidates who came into the field. The strength of Simon Ca meron, who rules in the Pennsylvania Legislature, is said to have been underrated by the other aspi rants to the dignity, but that gentleman has given a proof, in walking John Scott over the course, in whose hands the real power in Pennsylvania is held. WILLIAM CUMBACK was elected by the Indiana Legislature on the 19th January, in succession to Hendricks in the Senate by 22 against Hendricks 19, 9 scattering, and in the House by 48 to 45, scattering 7. This gentleman was born in Franklin county, Indiana, 24th March, 1829. He was educated at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and obtained the funds to carry him through the Cin cinnati Law School by teaching for some years. When the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was passed ho had obtained sufficient prominence to be elected to Congress, but he failed for re-election, and was R no e t pu h b e l ar ie d an o f Presidential d lB e n 6O ti , a l w h h was appointed a elector. In the spoils awarded he got the place of additional paymaster, but the war raised that comparatively insignificant post post into importance, and he earned a He was a candidate fo t r hen l can proposing call eth"at"hr norship of his State, but it . wa.l! t r h az e te o r ffi f e o e r . his honest and able managementtig_ of a- provided the Governor . would assure . ake e r to withd;aw, n o o m w m o i r t s t e e thedof writingg ross indiscretion, i G s c o r v e e t r i o n n o ,r raker f him of another appointment ; to which he received termed "corrupt and indecent." William Cum back most damaging reply, the proposition being back then made an effort to get back his letter, but Governor Baker turned a deaf ear to the piteous call of Come-back, keeping it for after use, and afterwards using it. The contest for the Senator ship was hot, and had not Mr. Cumback been strong he would have been bowled over by the publication of this correspondence: This gentle man adds another to the Republican party in the Senate. Alas ! we have counted our chickens be fore they were hatched. On the 22d January a caucus of Republican members was held at India napolis, and Mr. Cumback's name withdrawn, D.D. Pratt of Logansport b e i ng su b st i tuted, and when the Legislature met that day he was elected in the joint convention, the vote being 83, Hendricks 60. DANIEL D. PRATT had resided for 30 years at Lo gansport, where he seems to have been very corn, fortable if we may judge from the weight to which he has attained, 4001bs. Indeed it is said that no Senator so weighty has sat in the Chamber since the time of Dixon H. Lewis. He is an able lawyer, and must be thought highly of in the State, as he was elected for the Forty-first Congress, beating Nathan A. Rosa by 17,233 to 14,946. He is therefore pro moted from the House tot he Senate, and we may here mention that Th omas N. Stillwell, late Minis ter to Venezuela will be the Republican candidate for the Eighth District vacated by him.
