The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £541,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.--raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. Gd. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of th e rea li se d 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 £5 12s. per cent. Theepremiums 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 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 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-Sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY' ROSE, The present dispositions f the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ceparing it with that of 1867, it will bo observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Governn:ent funds, and that about £ll 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 follows : The Right Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.8., Chair man. Esq. J. C o h s a h s u . a Tto o s e . k li w o o l o c d ombt, Esq. WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE Eaq D Chairman. .) eputy- J p a h m il e ip s MRouserr,a Esq.y ,}l4 Esq . Charles Bischoff, Esq. Thomas Boddington, E Charles Chatfield, Esq. Sir J. Buller East, Bart., D.C.L. George Russell, Esq Thos. Godfrey Sambrooko, Robert A. Gray Esq. Wm. Augustin u uy, m D F.. 15. 1 .., Esq. Admiral Tindtq The effects on society are worth noticing of a re turning prosperity and a continued depression. We know how differently each individual views the same question according to his health, his mood, or Li the state of the atmosphere, but more especially if he be in a vein of success or the reverse. So it is with communities, for a whole country changes 1 opinions as well as appearances with prosperity and adversity, of which atiextraordinary instance has been . furnished by Manchester, wherein the champion of Free Trade advocates the resuscitation of Protec ' tion. It is positively beyond belief that a great commercial emporium which has associated its name with a principle, to the adoption of which some nations attribute unexampled prosperity, which among others has causes the fier3.yst controversies, perhaps wars, which is at this moment with the inhabi tants of many a fertile subject of dispute, should have wheeled round to advocate the very doctrines against which it had successfully led a large and enlightened pnrtion of mankind. But so it is ; and the cause is said to be the depression of the cotton manufacturing industry occasioned by the short supply of the staple. This had its origin in the; American war ; and it is passing strange, but true, that the very country whose agriculture was cut to pieces, commerce annihilated, fields desolated, and cities depopulated and destroyed, is likely to reco ver more quickly than the mart whose supply that war interrupted. While Manchester is growling and talking Protection, the Southern States are settling into peace and prosperity. Even the New York 7'ribune, whose sensational heading, the " New Rebellion," covered every campaign document circulated from its office in myriads through the country, has now turned over a new leaf. Political assassinations in the South have almost ceased, and collisions be tween the races are few and far between. Indeed, from the tone suddenly assumed, it is clear that the Radical papers exaggerated the condition of the South during the elections to make political capital in the North. We are told by the journal foremost in creating the evil impression how few I stopped to consider that the South covers a million square miles, with twelve millions of people; add ing that, as every collision has a quasi partizan character, they are trumpeted about, and made to assume the worst aspect. One county gets up a parti zan struggle; scenes of violence are then enacted, but the whole State, however peaceful elsewhere, bears I the blame—versions of the fight come out in different papers, so dissimilar, that they appear like new tales of blocdshed, and entire districts are condemned which are as orderly and industrious as any in the Union. It is a fact, if we look carefully over the telegrams, that the troubles and outrages will be found to be generally confined to a narrow area in a State. For instance, the neighbourhood of Savan nah gives to Georgia a bad name; of New Orleans to Louisiana; of Little Rock to Arkansas, and these and other places to all the reconstructed States ; and while our eyes are fixed on such localities, we overlook the fact that they are but spots in the mighty territory of the South. If the peo ple of Augusta are cutting each other's throats, and race arming against race in Ogechee, what is the South generally doing ? Why, for the last year producing two millions and a half bales of cotton, each of which has averaged $lOO, representing the pretty little sum of $250,000,000 obtained at the depots, perhaps the largest price they have as yet fetched there. Add to this the sugar and rice crops, which have not only brought good prices, but exceed in quantity those of 1867, and when we con sider that the South now supplies itself with Indian corn and wheat, we give an idea of what the people really have been doing. Here also is the answer to the cry that the "free niggers won't work," and here is the reason why Northern men go South to settle, notwithstanding the odium attached to the name cf a "carpet bagger." The truth is that those who take an extreme part in politics opposed to the prejudices of a sentimental people run an unpleasant risk of being " ridden on a rail," but those who purchase Southern estates and set to work to develope their resources receive aid and countenance instead of opposition from their neigh bours. As a field for investment the South at this moment presents a rare combination of attractions. Real estate has been depreciated .to a positively ridiculous degree, and in numberless instances now sells at less than the owner expended on improve ments, though well situated, cleared and adapted for the iumaediate production of valuable crops. It is the fashion for people who hate Yankees, such as " The Thirty Years' Resident in Canada," whose letter of February 2 found a very congenial place in the columns of the Standard on Thursday, to cry up Canada and to decry the " Ameri can land-jobbers," and the United States generally, as a field for emigration, and it puzzles Englishmen beyond expression how this colony of " perfect se curity for life, limb, and property under just laws, which are respected and always enforced," should be deserted as fast as they succeed in enticing emi grants there, for another land " in which he would find a total disregard of law and order, as witness the almost daily accounts in the New York and Chicago papers, and even in the occasional reports in your own columns, of the almost innumerable murders, shootings, robberies, lynchings, and other horrible atrocities of the past year which have gone unpunished." The solution of all this is simply, they lie; and when on the spot those they send ascer tain it.' It is, then, the greatest folly ; for emigration must be deverted to the antipodes orin spite of them selves they people the wasteplacesof the Union. The " Canadian Resident" is justified in stating that the American papers do report numerous crimes. The English suppose that they of all people tell most truth to their own detriment. But this is a mistake, for whereas here a man requires to commit a crime, and to get hold of that rare animal in Europe, a reporter, before he has the honour of attracting public attention, an American cannot think a crime without it appearing in all the papers; and if he commits a crime the übiquitous animals, the re porters, are there like vultures on carrion, when not only that crime, but every crimehe ever committed or the family or the victim, together with every crime of his parents and their parents, ani perhaps a catalogue of the crimes besides of which his village was the scene. The writer of the letter includes lynching, among the murders and robberies, but he does not explain that they were the murderers and robbers who were lynched ; the very word dis proving his assertion that the atrocities go un out to these this ; for what we desire is to poi'lit f un punished. But it is not our object here to discuss " Yankee-haters" that they can find a section o i n which to settle , w here they will have full latitud e in abusing soon again to be so, sunny land, once in a high state of Yankees without prosperity and reg ion shut up by ice for many months of the year. N or th America is the finest field ever opened l ocat i ng themselves in an unc leared forest or in a bar it to their countrymen for fear of strength eningfor e migration, but these wise men desire to a hostile power. When we see a dog baying t even atamong brutes, and to us these efforts lo ok the moon we conclu de that the animal is an idiot somew hat like this. These persons ca n not prevent America the eric world ; tbheecyonicairingnotthe prevent overs evenha dowiilhg power of own their coun t r ymen from settling there ; and if they could w a f r roin they would only injure them. But what they can o and do do is to keep alive the feelings it is essential to bury not only out of sight, but out of mind, where they can never be resuscitated. One of England's greatest objects should be to impress as strongly as in her lies her image on the American Continent. Happily for her the very Yankees these people so hate have succeeded in doing this, and her utmost efforts ought to be directed towards keeping up and perpetuating their work. Yet, with a perversity which history will some day record with amazement, the utmost efforts of these wise acres is directed towards making this nation with a future no man can predict hostile, and their coun trymen have already to thank them for the Fenian difficulties, the Alabama troubles, and the strength of • the Irish party in the United States. Why should not English investors who do not know what to do with their money seek for it an out let in the now rapidly reviving South, with which many of them so heartily sympathized during the struggle ?
