The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d. The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 th e B r it ann i a Fi re Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fi ro C om p any , t o work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capit a l f un d s an d constitution of each of f ice are quite separate and distinct.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited i to ,as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is n 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, i n; ne 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ox pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 a t 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 voyaging, 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 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 policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo 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.

Amongst the vessels lost in the memorable cyclone that swept over the Bay of Bengal in 18G7 were the steamer Thunderer and the ship Morayshire. Search was pro fessed to be. made for these and other missing vessels among the Sunderbunds, but no traces of them were dis covered, and it was taken for granted that both had gone down at sea. The Liverpool Courier says that the other day, a party of fishermen, driven for shelter into an out-of-the-way creek, some miles inland, stumbled upon the hull of a ship which proved to be the Morayshire, and further on found a steamer with masts and funnels still standing, which answered the, des cription of the Thunderer. The steamer had ..f.1Z0,000 en board, which is doubtless in her bullion hold. As to the fate of her crew, painful speculations are, of course, called up, as the place is infested with tigers. THE CONGRESS AT LAUSANNE. The Congress of Peace and Liberty at Lausanne, of which Victor Hugo is honorary president, closed its ses sion on the 18th with a brilliant speech from the distinguished president. Great interest has been taken in the debates, the room being always full, and the audience was repaid by hearing many able addresses. Among the speakers have been Victor Hugo himself, M. Gastineau, of the Paris Bar ; M. Jules Ferry, one of the members for Paris, and M. Edgar Quinet. Mrs. Rose an American lady, was also among the orators, and she deplored with groat vivacity the evils of was. This was one of the great topics of the conference and afforded many opportunities for oratorical display. The scheme of forming a federation of nations under the name of the United States of Europe, was discussed and approved of. The Government of this union is to be Republican and Federative, but capable of modification, and complete liberty shall be guaranteed to every nation composing it. The Eastern question and the relations of capital and labour were also discussed, but the interest of the session centred upon the scheme of a European confederation and the denunciation of military glory. Jules Simon has written from Naples a letter declaring his adhesion to the views of the Congress. A DEAN UPON SCIENCE. On Sunday afternoon the Dean of Carlisle, preaching iu Carlisle Cathedral to the candidates who had been ordained that morning, warned them against the infidelity which was prevalent at the present day, and instructed them how they were to encounter it. Dr. Close compared the present times with the Augustan age at the beginning of the Christian era, when the human intellect had attained its highest point of excellence, and inquired what had been the result of the great development of intellec tual power. The moral result, he said, had been that some of the greatest philosophers of that age had been monsters of licentiousness, and their wisdom had given rise to universal depravity. In the present day the direct tendency of knowledge and science was the perversion and destruction of God's truth. There was at this moment a wide-spread, subtle, deadly influence of infidelity abroad upon the earth. There was in the pre sent day an evil spirit of the Vottomless pit rising up amongst us, poisoning God's truth, poisoning the faith of thousands. He laid a large portion of that at the door of science. Did not philosophers at the present day dig out evidences against God out of the bowels of the earth, and seek for evidence in the heavens, in nations, and languages, to shake faith in the Bible? Thcre were those who would overturn the whole Bible narrative of the creation of man, which involved man's salvation by Christ —would prefer any dream, however foolish or vain, to the faithful testimony of God respecting the origin of our species. Human wisdom landed its votaries in ignorance and folly, and all the dreams of the Hindoos, and all the false reli gions—corrupted, degraded, and ridiculous that were ever among the pagans, were not so frivolous and childish as those to which the science of the present day had reduced our scientific men. TILE MINING CALAMITY IN AMERICA. The American rapers of the Oth inst. contain further accounts of the fearful mining calamity, and relate the discovery of the dead miners. The worst fears that were entertained respecting these unhappy men have been realised, and the scenes that have taken place in the neighbourhood of the catastrophe, as well as the dis closures in the mine itself, were truly deplorable. At half- past six on the morning cf the Sth of September a horrible sight was encountered. The eastern gangway was penetrated, and the explorers came to a barricade that was across the cangway. Tear ing this down, the lamp shone upon a heap cf the dead. Some of the bodies presented a dis turbed appearance, but these were exceptions. The vast majority looked like men who were rather sleeping than dead, or like men who accepted the inevitable with dignified resignation; but nono had died until they had exhausted all means of saving life It was found that at the first alarm of danger the miners had exerted themselves to the utmost ; tin y had given way to no panic, but strove to keep the fre , h z it in the mine. For this purpose they put up the barricade which was afterwards found there. When these sixty three bodies were Lund, it was determined that they should be brought to the surface at once, b.fore the rest cf the mine was explore 1. There was great difficulty in accomplishing the task, because the raising apparatus had been destroyed by fire. As each body was brought up it was identified by the superintendent of the mine, and carried to the dead-house. The idea cf a great public funeral has been abandoned, in consequence of the slow ness with which the bodies are removed from the mine. The bodies have been delivered to the friends for imme diate burial, and the Mayor of Scranton has requested a general suspension of business on the days of interimlat. The president of the Mining Company has ordered general suspension of work and free trains on those days. Tho acting coroner of Plymouth has made arrangements for taking testimony as to the calamity, and it is intended that the most searching investigation will take place. During later explorations of the mine it has been found that many of the miners were struck down while at work by poisonous gas, and thus hurried out of the world without a moment's warning. The spirit evinced by the miners has been one of extreme bitterness, and they are most difficult to manage in consequence. Up to the time of the last accounts seventy-two bodies were found. Some most distressing scenes have occurred at' the recognition of the bodies by the widows and orphans. Bluch indignation is expressed that there was no means of outlet, and the effect of the Avondale calamity will pro bably be that measures will be taken in all the mines to prevent, as far as possible, any such horrible accidents in the future. Rear-Admiral Cbads has received the appointment of second in command of the Channel fleet, vicellder, com pelled to resign in consequence of ill health. Six fishermen were on Monday committed for trial, at the Merthyr Police Court, for participation in the Pont- , lottyn riots. . It is said that Mr. Lambert, of the Poor-law De partment, has been named as the probable successor of Mr. G. A. Hamilton in the office of permanent secretary of the Treasury. The Manchester Examiner says that a baronetcy has boon offered to Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P. for Manchester, but it appears to bo uncertain whether he will accept the distinction. Since the summons obtained on Saturday last by Mr. Straight at Marlborough-street, the directors of the Albert Life Office have (says the Globe) been making pre parations to the charges to be brought against them. A formidable bar has been retained, amongst whom it is stated are Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Sergeants Parry and Ballantine, although it is alit god that the directors them selves anticipate a speedy termination of the prosecution. The committee for protecting the interests of the policy holders and others are very active, and held a meeting on Tuesday at twelve o'clock. The deaths are announced of four old univer. city men—the Rev. Prebendary Barbut, who was educated at Merton College, Oxford, whore he took his B.A. degree in 18C6, and held for fifty years the Vicarage of St. John's, Chichester ; the Rev. Edward Wyvill, who was educated at Brasenose College, where ho took his 8.A.. degree in 1816, and was shortly afterwards presented to the family livings of Fingal and Spennthornc,Yorkshire,which he ho held until his death; Mr. Tyrrell Knapp, who was educated at Exeter College, Oxford; and Mr. John Hogg, who was educated at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1822.
