The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774.

HENRY ROSE, f The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 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 porti on o f t h e 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 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 oi per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Du. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present dispositionof the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 18G7, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about 411,000 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 fol lows : The Right Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.8., Chair man. - . -- WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RITE Esq., Deputy- Chairman. Charles Bischoff, Esq. I Chas. Thos. Holcombe, Esq. Thomas Boddington, Esq. Joshua Lockwood, Esq. Charles Chatfield, Esq. James Murray, Esq. Sir J. Buller East, Bart., Philip Rose, Esq. D.C.L. George Russell, Esq. Robert A. Gray Esq. Thos. Godfrey Sambrooke, Wm. Augustus Guy, M.D., Esq. F.R.S.I Admiral Tindal.; THE COMMISSIONEII REC OMMENDS—First, an en largement of the free list. Second, a reduction of some rates of duty, atd, as an exception, an in crease of a few others, with a view to the increase of the revenue. Third, a reduction of some rates of duty with a view to an absolute abatemen t, on the sim ple ground that the reduction of a duty is the reduc tion of a tax, and that the most efficient method of protecting home industry is by the removal obstacles in the form of taxes. Fourth, the conversion to the utmost possible extent of the present ad valorem duties into specifies, as the only practic able method of insuring certainty and equality in the assessment of duties and the prevention of un dervaluations and the abrogation of the privilege which enables returning tourists to import free of duty an amount of goods corresponding to their real or supposed social position. In behalf of the conclusions thus expressed the Commissioner confi dently appeals to the true friends of American in dustry for countenance and support, for nothing can be more certain than that, if unnecessary and iniquitous burdens of taxation under the tariff continue to be laid upon the people, the day is not far distant when a reaction of public senti ment will compel either a sweeping reduction of duties or induce through agitation such an insta bility in legislation as will in itself prove most in jurious and destructive. The Commissioner does not believe it expedient in this, a general Report, to enter upon the specific details of a tariff revi sion, but the precise changes required, in his judg ment, will, if called for, be made in the form of an additional Report, or be submitted personally to the Finance Committees of Congress. A new mint is about]to be built at the Dalles, Oregon, according to plans made by Colonel J. F. Morse, Department Architect for the coast. The building will be one of considerable size and imposing appearance, two storeys high and a full basement, and will cover 50fx90 feet. The superstructure will be crowned by a cupola 14 feet in diaMeter, 21 feet above the roof, and 72 feet from the ground. Among latest novelties we may notice the follow ing :—" Elias Keene, of North Turner, Maine, has a hair album composed of the locks of hair of upwards of 80 persons, from the age of 96 years to five weeks, including his maternal grandfather, all his children and grandchild ren, his paternal grandparents, their children and grand children ; his first, second, and present wife, with three children. The different shades are artistically blended into buds, half-blown and full-blown flowers." The evidence against General Dyer was rapidly breaking down, and the general impression was that he must be honourably acquitted, as the witnesses upon whom Gen. Butler and his committee based their charges have been examined, with the only effect of showing his innocence. The brother of "Brick" Pomeroy's Washing ton correspondent got $l,OOO of the Alaska purchase lobby money. People now begin to think that Collector Smythe will after all be confirmed by the Senate as ambassador to Russia, but there is no chance that Alexander Cummings will be as commissioner of internal revenue. DEATH OF GENERAL ROUSSEAU.—This event, which we briefly announced last week, took place at New Orleans Jan. 7, where, after only three days' illness, the General died, aged 51. The news was telegraphed to the President and to General Grant. Brigadier-General Lovell Harrison Rousseau was born near Stanford, Lin coln County, Kentucky, but his parents had come from Virginia. Having studied law, he commenced practice in 1841. He was elected to the Indiana Legislature, and served three years in the Houso and three years in the Senate. Ho acted through the war with Mexico as Cap tain of Indiana Volunteers, and was present at the battle of Buena Vista. After the war he returned to Louisville and re-commenced the practice of law in that city. In 1860 he was unanimously elected to the Kentucky Senate, and after serving one session, resigned, to take part in raising troops to suppress the rebellion. In June, tee V rs' olun all te d ers in . October he was be comm issioned B C r o i l ge on d e i l er o_f u V e o n l . un ef He was present at the battle ofPitt sbur g Landin g , A p ril 6th and 7th, 1862, and was officially p raised for hisgallantry - also present at the battle of P err y ville, Kentuck y , October 8, 1862 co mmended for distinguished gallantry and date 2. After the battl e o f t ea rs, toand was appointed Major - General of Volun- from October 8, 186 PgiototdsbsuerrgviLcending he was in the advance upon Corinth and in the battle of Stone River Januar y 1 , 1863 , and many minor engagements. In 1861 he conducted a raid into the Interior of Alabama, and at the siege of Nash ville by Hood, defended fort Rosecrans with 8,000 men. After the war he was elected member of Congress from Kentucky to the 39th Congress, 1865-67, and served on the committees of mlitary affairs and on roads and canals. In April, 1867, he was appointed Brigadier- General in the regular army, and was assigned to duty in the new Territory of Alaska. On the 28th of July, 1868, Rousseau was placed in command of the De partment of Louisiana, composed of that State and Arkansas, and was holding that position at the time of his death. The funeral service was performed by the Bichop of Louisiana at Christ Church, Now Or leans, and though the weather was bad the attendance was large, comprising civil and military officers and numerous Freemasons. Resolutions expressive of sympathy and regret were passed in the Legislature and City Council; the courts and public offices were closed, and the houses of business which the funeral passed. General Rousseau's death creates a vacancy among the Brigadiers-General, and with the retirement of General Hooker leaves two nominations to be made by the President.. General Bu chanan succeeds in command of the department of Loui siana. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.

RESTORATION OF NATIONAL CREDIT, AND RE SUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENT.—The Cotnmis• sioner does not feel that it is his province to pre sent any plan in detail, whereby a surplus like that anticipated can be best used for facilitating a re turn to specie payments ; but he does feel con vinced that if one half of such surplus, or from two to two and a half per cent. on the whole debt, were applied regularly, month after month, and year after year, to purchase in the open market, and to the cancellatiom of the gold interest-bearing obliga tions of the Government, so long as those obliga tions can be obtained at:a discount from their par value in gold ; and, if at the same time, the legal tender notes were, under certain restrictions as to time and quantity, made convertible at the plea sure of the holder into interest-bearing bonds, that the value of both bonds and currency might be so greatly and so rapidly enhanced as to make a re sumption of specie payments a matter of much less difficulty than it now appears. If it be objected that this measure involves contraction of the legal tender currency, the Commissioner would reply that he is in favour of such contraction. THE EXPERIMENT OF CONTRACTION. —The Com missioner believes that no man can look back to the period when a moderate contraction was authorized by Congress, and put his finger on one single bad result assumed to have flowed from such contraction, wlaich was not due, in the first instance, to a wholly imaginative influence; and furthermore, the Com missioner asserts that no one can review the history of prices when contraction was authorized and in operation, without feeling convinced that there was, during such time, i.e., from March, 1866, to January, 1868, a tendency to a gradual and healthy shrinkage of value and prices; and that the shrinkage in prices which actually did occur was equivalent, through an increase in the purchasing power of the money in use, to a practical increase and not to a diminution of the power of the currency to effect exchanges. GOLD CONTRACTS.—One of the most wholesome measures, in the judgment of the Commissioner, for smoothing the way to specie resumption would be an act legalizing gold contracts. A much larger share of the business of the country than is gene rally supposed is now transacted in gold, the parties relying upon the rules of commercial integrity for the fulfilment of contracts when the law fails to provide for their enforcement. These transactions relate principally to foreign goods, the cost of which is always computed in coin. REDUCTION OF TAXATION, WITH A VIEW OF RE DUCING THE COST OF PRODUCTION.—In the applica tion of a moiety of the anticipated surplus to the reduction of taxation, the especial object sought to be accomplished should be the reduction of the cost of national production ; with a view of removing those impediments which now so greatly restrict and, in many instances, prevent the free exchange of the products of American industry with the needed products of other nations; and thus bring to the country a more favourable balance of trade than now exists.
