The directors draw special attention to the fact thet the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton.

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 'fables 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 wilt espe cially commend itself, being entirely freo 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 ip.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 actuallypaid 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 likewlso 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 I,,sued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, 1 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 years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cliss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called open to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance whore policies are lull as collateral security. It is only neres,nry taindti that, as a constlnenee of the policies under these tAles being nufoi-feitable and wit-on ditional, they will also b© nneballettgeablo on any around whatever. They- may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDLIS 7'1:17.

We have had thenegrostruggleendingso far in oceans of blood, and the scene changes in America, the woolly-headed African giving place to the yellow ! faced, almond-eyed Chinese. Senator CASSERLY has broken ground in a speech denouncing Chinese _ immigration, wherein he utters no uncertain sound : ' "it is the duty of every class of men to unite to pre-- vent the introduction of the Chinese. If they come in contact with the common labourers to- day, to-morrow they will be in competition with the mason, the brick layer, the carpenter, and the machinist, for they are the most frugal, industrious, and ingenious people on the face of the earth. Look at the splendid granite building occu pied by Wells, Fargo, and Co., the stone of which was cut in China, and was built by Chinamen. Men who can do such work for less than half the price paid white me chanics were an injury to the State, and he would unite with any party that would use energetic means to keep them out of the country." The policy of exeusion which he represents is by some strenuously denied as being the sentiment pre vailing in California or in any other State ; but it is truthfully remarked_ that it is in accordance with the statutes relating to the Chinese in force on the Pacific slope, and, it is asked, if that be not the ' public sentiment how could laws so unjust be passed. In Memphis, Tennessee, a meeting has lately been held, awl a Convention called for the 13th July, at which KOOPMANstIOP, the principal labour importer of San Fr inCi6co, will be - present, as well as dele gates from Georgi I, Alabama, Mississippi, Loui siana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. At the preliminary meeting, after asserting that the want of labour was the barrier to Southern prosperity, it was— " Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the best interests of the South require that all inducements shall be offered at once to encourage the emigration of Chinese labourers, in large numbers, direct from Chins, to supply the great demand now existing in the South for steady and reliable labour." This expresses the conclusion of the Southerners, on which they will undoubtedly act, but there is a strenuous opposition in the way, an Anti-Coolie Association in behalf of white labour generally, tak ing high ground in the matter. They justify exclu sion by stating that there are 110,000 Chinese in California, of whom 100,000 are slaves rented out by the companies owning them, in gangs of from 50 to 5,000, their wages being paid to the com pany, who is responsible for the performance of the work, and the return of the slaves to China dead or alive. This employment displaces a like pro portion of white labour, especially injuring the ris ing generation ; about 20,000 boys and girls in San Francisco, who would otherwise be employed in learning trades, being brought up in idleness. Not only are the boys and girls thus being prepared for a vicious life, but the immigration of deserving white people is retarded and will ultimately cease, while many now in California must leave. The cigar makers are a case in point, 500 families being driven out of that employment. It is then noticed as a fact that the introduction of this cheap labour has not cheapened a blanket, a cigar, or any article of home manufacture. The money paid for Chinese labouris exportedto Asia, and on the retirement of the Chinese slaves, says this document, from their field of labour, not a vestige of improvement will remain, not even a bone of them will be left in the soil. They have brought in a plague which has baffled the skill of the medical men of San Francisco, and introduced diseases almost unknown before in the history of the Caucasian race. " It has been objected to our association that it is an Irish crusade against cheap labour; but, on the contrary, we embody in our own ranks all classes, creeds, and political parties, imbued not with hostility to the Chinese as a race, but fully believing that all the vast resources of California can be fully developed, and her railroads, canal's, and other public works can Le as well and profitably completed by free white labour as they have bqen in the eastern States, and that the future greatness of California depends more upon the general prosperity of her industrial classes than upon the vast accumulations of a few capitalists." We tic d not say more to prove how strong is the opposition now organized against Chinese immi gration, mainly among the men who lay down plat forms, like the Irish Republican Convention at Chicago, remarkably liberal till they come into . 2 contact with any competition in their own Lille, when they quickly beanie b 7 goted Tories. How ever, the institutions of the Republic, the genius of th - : people, are all dead against the policy of ex clusion, and even supposing that what the Anti -Coolie Association say were true, they would have no light task to fight up against an infraction of America!, principle so gross as to bar the Pacific sea-board form the immigration of Asiatics. More over it is for the direct interest of capital that the influx of these bard- working people should be encouraged. Hence it will be almost impos sible to exclude them, and attention having been drawn to the subject, on one point nearly all Americans are agreed. The Chinese already in the country have a right to demand equal laws and ample justice ; they entered it as did other immi grants, and it is the duty of the Government to see that they are fairly and lawfully dealt with. Inde pendently of the Civil Rights Act, it is more than doubtful that the enactments of California against the Chinese are illegal, as the State thereby nulli fies the Treaty signed between the Emperor of China and the United States, which it has no power to do. If the Chinese become American citizens, the State Legislature has as little power to make laws repugnant to the code of America to their detriment as it has to do so while they remain subjects of the Em - peror of China. The Alla California denies that the Celestials are held in a state of peonage, and at the same time contradicts most of the assertions of the Anti- CcolieAssociation,strenuously upholding these immigrants. The fact is that the Coolies have con tracted in China with such men as KOOPMANSEIOP to be transported to California, their return dead or alive being guaranteed, to work at $4 a month till the period expires for which they are engaged, when they are at liberty to remain and work for them selves or to demand their passage back. These contracts require careful supervision, but the Chinese have an Ambassador in ANSON BURLINGAME, who tho roughly understands the subject, and who will take good care that the Administration at Washington does not overlook its duty in this respect. There was a meeting lately between the delegates of six Chinese Emigration Companies and Senator CONK LING, together with the House Committee on Ways and Means now at San Francisco. FLING-SANG spoke. "\Ve feel," he said, " the want of protection to life and property when Courts of Justicerefuse our testimony, and thus leave us defenceless and unable to obtain justice for ourselves, and often for others. If pro.. tected as are other inhabitants, the Chinese would cultivate rice and cotton in the South, would raise silk-worms and tea in California, would take a deep interest in American business enterprises, and vastly enlarge the trade with Asia, to the benefit both of the United States and of China." The San Fran cisco Times thus highly estimates the Celestial labour emploped on the Central Pacific:— "The experience of this undertaking has proved that the Chinaman is an admirable railroad builder. His labour is cheap, his tempet is good, his disposition is docile, his industry is unflagging, his strength and endurance are s onderful, and his mechanical skill is remarkable." An interesting account is given of the Japanese settlement near Placerville. There are 600 acres ....._ . fenced, a large orchard of seven-year-old trees, 50,000 bearing vines, a well-furnished brick house, barn, and all the implements of a farm. A village is there to be formed called Wakamatz ; each family with a cottage and garden, to whom mulberry trees and tea-plants are to be allotted. They will feed their own worms, spin cocoons, and be paid according to quality and quantity. In the same way they will pick the tea, receiving payment at the factory for what they cultivate and deliver, and an extensive nursery will be formed to grow and sell Japanese trees, chief among these being the bamboo, which, together with its many mechanical uses, is an admirable esculent, surpassing any Euro pean vegetables in nutriment and flavour. An other is the wax-tree, which yields the varnish that has made Japan work so celebrated. From time immemorial the Japanese have cultivated fish, and their first act on their new farm was to lay out a lake for pisciculture. These people seem peculiarly acceptable to the Californians, as they interfere with no home industry, but introduce new sources of wealth, and occupy profitably land which would otherwise be waste ; they adopt the Californian cos tume, they make permanent homes, taking nothing from the country to which they bring so much. Altogether they are likely to be the favourite Asiatics ou the Pacific coast, and a close alliance will spring up between them and the Golden State. A letter from San Francisco has reached us since writing this article, which our readers will find in another column. It fatly confirms what we have said about the Japanese ; and will repay perusal.
