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 direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions.

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. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUYE, 1868.

Tho interest received during the year is £117,584 75. 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 prr 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 cont. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 Is. 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 rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslnst absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total: income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Du. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY 11)LICIES, FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1818. 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 bo 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 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 hsued 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-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this as security, may always know the utmost amount they may. be called up ,, n to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the AssuraLees—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security.. It is ouly necessary to a dd that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitaWe and uncon ditional, they will also be unelodiong , ablo on any pronnd ,vhatever. They may th,refore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies.

THE FRENCH EMPEROR'S LETTER. The able Parisian correspondent of the Times concludes that the object of the Emperor Napoleon's letter to M. Mackau is simply to assure France that there is to be no change—that M. Rouher is still to be Minister, and his policy still to continue. Public opinion has decided, says this writer, in favour of M. Rouher's dismissal. Nobody will believe in reform whilst the present Minister of State remains at the head of affairs ; indeed the French are of opinion that his retirement will be the best of .all reforms. But the Sovereign, according to the Mackau letter, has made up his mind not to change his chief official. "The true difficulty for tho Emperor is to part with M. Rouher, not only because be is accus tomed to that useful servant, and does not like new faces, but because be is slow to trust any man, and has kept on the throne some remnant of that suspicious tem per which is the natural result of a troubledlife passed in exile, and spent in a long struggle towards power through unlawful enterprises. That involuntary distrust of any men he does not know has led him to take his Ministers out of a narrow circle of personal acquaintances or tried friends, whom he dismisses and retakes at will, according to circumstances and to the slight differences which public opinion attributes to their names, but who have for him the common and invaluable merit of being tried or undoubted supporters of his dynasty." IA I `- THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. The Paris correspondent of the Indtpendance Bclge says it is a fact that the Viceroy of Egypt is endeavouring to throw off the sovereignty of the Sultan. When he entered Paris, the Turkish Ambassador was at the station to receive him; but the Khedive would have none of his assistance. Brushing past him, he brusquely and awkwardly seized the arm of General Fleury, the . Emperor's aide-de-camp. The Sultan is very angry with his vassal, both for taking the initiative in the measures for securing the neutrality of the Suez Canal, and for issuing invitations on his own responsibility to so many sovereigns. The Turkish papers are talking of high treason. PRUSSIA AND THE 11 PATEIE." The French semi-official papers find a topic for hostile comment in the opening of the new Prussian port „, at Heppens, which we announced the other `thy_ cons:acts -ih:." creatiuu of new naval station in the Baltic an important fact. To Russia it is of especial significance, for Prussia plainly sets herself up as a rival for the command of the Baltic Sea. But no Power, the Patric thinks, can remain indif ferent whilst this dreadful work of fort and navy building is going on. "In our opinion this maritime develop. ment of Prussia deserves to be watched with an attentive eye." The Patric is apparently to be safely entrusted with this business of watching with an attentive eye. But why Prussia, with her fine range of sea-coast, should not aim at becoming a naval Power AS well as France, it is difficult to imagine. The semi-official papers of Paris are, however, a little consoled by the fact that an attempt has been made in Hanover to get up a subscription in order to present the King of Prussia with an ironclad corvette, and it has failed. THE POPE AND THE DOCTORS. Our Rome correspondent contradicts the story which was reprinted from the Florence Nazione to the effect that the Pope has ordered all doctors to abstain under pain of excommunication from attending patients who after three days sickness refuse to confess. The reality is that, by a Bull of Sextus V., all doctors are ordered on pain of excommunication " to inform the curate of the parish of any case of sickness if after three days' attend ance they see reason to fear danger of death." This is merely intended to prevent patients dying without the aid of the sacraments, but no circular or bull has been since issued on the matter to the doctors of Rome, and they attend alike those who con fess and those who do not. Protestant Prussian soldiers, of whom there are many in the Papal army, are never interfered with in hospital. " They are allowed when in health to attend the Lutheran service at the Prussian Legation, and when sick receive to their last hour (of which I have been a frequent witness) the care and attendance of the surgeons and sisters of charity precisely as do the Catholic soldiers, and are never urged to change their religion." ITALY. The attempted assassination of Major Lobbia at Flo. rence is a very serious affair. An inquiry is now being made into certain corrupt practices in connection with Cambray Digny's financial scheme. Major Lobbia is the denouncer of these misdeeds, and his assassination is sup posed to have been planned by those interested in his silence. He narrowly escaped with his life, TILE GENERAL COUNCIL. It is stated that the Prussian Government, in reply of Prince Hohenlohe's circular respecting the General Council, has expressed its willingness to enter into nego tiations with the other German States with the view of deciding upon some common line of action. THE ISTHMUS OF cola:cm. An announcement of much interest—omitted in Ileuter's telegram —was made in tie King of Greece's speech at the opening the new Chamber of Deputies. Amongst vr.riou.s other public works which will be speedily com menced, a canal is to be cut through the Isthmus of Corinth. This nndertaking has long been promised, but is at last to be realised, with the help, we believe, of M. de Lesseps. The famous Peloponnesus will then become an island. THE PRESS IN AUSTBIA. The Austrian Government objects to Republican speeches. Somebody in Vienna wa3 preparing to publish a translation of the fine speech, in favour of Re publicanism, delivered by Senor Castelar in the Spanish Cortes ; but the Imperial funct:onaries seized all the printing apparatus, and put the typographical forme under seal. MR. PEABODY. The use which has been made of Mr. Peinody's gift to Vie poor of London does not give perfect satisfaction in America. The New York Times has inquired into the administration of the fund, and is disappointed at the result. The Peabody buildings are "clumsy, heavy, dark, and' unsightly," the rooms are too small, and the rent too high to be of great practical benefit. Conversation with some of the tenants leads the Times to the conclusion that cheaper houses ought to be provided, and that the deserving poor might he aided by loans from the fund. Mr. Peabody, who has arrived in America, is much improved in health by his voyage across the Atlantic. GLOOMY NEWS FROM CUBA. The general tenour of the news from Cuba which we have received by telegraph is decidedly unfavourable to the Spaniards. A short time ago the insurrection was losing ground ; now it see:ns to be reviving. The Times correspondent supports this intelligence. He says : " The tenour of all the despatches, private as well as public, and also of those sent by the agents of the United States' Government, is that the insurgents appear inspired by renewed confidence." His letter was written, too, before the news that the insurgents had secured communication with the sea-shore could have reached New York. COLOURED CANDIDATES. A day or two ago a cable message informed us that tho itepublicans had carried the local election at Washington. This contest was particularly interesting The Repub licans carried all the wards, and among the successful candidates were a coloured city registrar, a coloured alderman, and seven co'om el councilmen. The Republi can Convention at ltichm ,nd are determined to send a large proportion of blacks to Congress. They have nomi nated two whites and one black for the Senate, and seven blacks and one white for the House of Representatives. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The Parliament of Brazil was opened recently by a speech from the Emperor. Bevitw:ng the progress of the war, his Majesty said that the province of Matto Grosso bad been freed from the Paraguayan invasion, Lopez had been driven out from Brazilian soil, and the allied fleet had full command of the rivers Parana and Paraguay. Several new laws were promised, including one for electo. ral reform, and another for improving the administration of justice. First of all, however, the people of Brazil will be met by that inevitable offspring of war—heavier taxes. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
