Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors. presented at the Aer ual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of .£412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which ,Z 307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,833, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 2. Thq Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred t.

Established 1848. 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 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, 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 unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON.

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

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 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 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. 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 f or re - as surance, 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 fi na l 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

September 1.868. -~/~ t , ..=- e =;3"—,---- '.- PARLIA.IIIENTABY SKETCITE.S. ----0----.-- HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY NIGHT. The scene in the popular branch of the Representative Assembly this afternoon reminded many of the exciting Reform debates during 1863 and 1857, and the still more recent discussions of last year. But there was this diffe rence—that whilst there were more members present in the House, there were not so many strangers congregated in Westminster Il all. By half-past three, when nearly .four hundred members had assembled, not more than fifty persons were to be seen in--the cold and cheerless hall—a circumstance, perhaps, owing to the fact that most of 1 ..;1e prominent men now enter by another door, and i ,not .snect themselves to the popular gaze. Inside the House everything betokened a great debate. Long before prAyers hail been said, Leath the Government and Oppositio n - benches were crowded with members, and it was sing.darly Hnlms7ng to watch the countenances of regida r the House, who were ousted of thCr accustomed paces and had to take refuge in the galleries above. The Archbishop of Canterbury- occupied a scat imme:liately behind the clock, having on his left the 1;i::liop of Oxford. Mr. Revercly .Tohmon sat by the side of Lord Ir.m g liton, awl among the other celebrities iiresent were 'Earl Russell, the Earl of Harrowby, and Lord Stratford de Itedeiffe. In the pews below were Dean Stanley, Dr. Mannins, and Mr. Jefferson Davis; and in another part of the House was to be seen thelandsome countenance of the Rev. Newman Hall. The Ladies' Gallery was also crowded with fair occupants, who •accupied the time previous to the commencement of business by repeated whispering, which was distinctly audible to the reporters below. Mr. Gladstone entered the House about 4.25, as usual slipping in behind the Speaker's chair ; but his great opponent walked up the floor of the ,House, both being unrecognised by their relpectivc parties. Sir Mundell Palmer, who absented himself from the Irish debates last year, took his seat immediately behind Ministers. The long string of questions upon the paper occupied nearly three-quarters of an hour, and it was not until five minutes past five that the clerk called the first order of the day—" The Irish Church Bill." No sooner bad he uttered the words than several Irish member; on the Conservative side rose for the purpose of presenting petitions against the second reading. In one case an hon. member had about a hun drdd of these protests tied together, and on his commencing to read the names of the places from whence they were signed, loud cheers burst from the Conservative benches, followed by ironical laughter from the Liberal members. Exactly at ten minutes past five o'clock Mr. Gladstone rose, and contented himself with moving the second reading of the bill in merely a formal manner. Mr. Disraeli's rising was the signal for a loud cheer from the Opposition, which lasted several seconds. The right hon. gentleman commenced by agreeing with Mr. Gladstone in the "gigantic issue" before the House, but be soon assumed a bantering tone, which he continued more or less during the whole of his speech. At one moment he was lofty and eloquent; at the next satirical and vivacious; and then he would warn the House and threaten the Government of the consequences which would follow in the event of the bill passing into law. His declaration that the proposed disestablishment of the Irish Church was an act—not of justice—butof con fiscation and spoliation, was received with hearty out bursts of cheering from his own party, followed by counter cheers from the supporters of the Government. Despite the assurances previously expressed, the right hon. gentle. man did not weary the House with detailed figures, but argued the question in a clear and concise manner. As a rule, Mr. Disraeli's forte isin debate, for it usually happens that when he attempts to make a set speech he becomes heavy and uninteresting. But this cannot be said of his effort to-night, for the interest of all present was unflag ging. Although he was but the leader of a minority, be struggled bravely against the overwhelming forces in his front, and occasionally excited the sympathetic cheers of his greatest opponents. But to those who were in the House on the Ist of March, it was impossible not to con. treat the speech which Mr. Gladstone then made with the one spoken to-night by the leader of the Opposition. The First Minister of the Crown knew that he had a large majority at his back, and that he was leading his forces on to victory. Mr. Disraeli appeared as one who felt that nothing but disaster and defeat would result from his utmost efforts, and spoke like a man who was only protesting against what he knew was inevitable. The Conservative forces reminded the looker-on of a noble army, who, depressed and beaten in the open field, had resolved to make one more effort before they capitulated. The Liberals, on the other hand, appeared to have no doubt of the ultimate triumph of their endeavours, and treated their opponents with more pity than derision. In two hours and ten minutes Mr. Disraeli exhausted all he knew to shew that the Irish Church should not be doomed. Argument, ridicule, and satire were alternately brought into play, but when he sat down the general opinion appeared to be that although his speech was in every way a success, yet he had failed to prove that what Mr. Gladstone had pro posed was against equity or justice. His peroration was short and effective, and the cheers of his party loud and long, the latter being once or twice interspersed with clap. ping of hands from those uninitiated into the forms of the House. When Mr. Disraeli had resumed his seat therewas a com plete exodus of members as well as strangers. The Bishop of Oxford had left the House soon after the right hon. gentleman commenced his speech, and Mr. Reverdy Johnson did not stay long after the right rev, prelate. But, with these exceptions, no person stirred from his seat until the speech was finished. It was some minutes before business was once more proceeded with, Mr. Gregory being then in possession of the House. The hon. member for Galway county frankly confessed that he had been in favour of " levelling-up," but saw that it was impracticable. He therefore gave his hearty support to the Government. Next to rise was Sir George Jenkinson, who is fast becoming a bore, in con sequence of his determination to take part in every debate that comes on. His style may be exceedingly popular among the tenant farmers of Wiltshire, but will never be appreciated by members of the House of Com mons. His filched quotation from the late Colonel Sibthorpe, " Timeo Danaos et dons, ferentes," was greeted with profound indifference, and his solemn warning— uttered in the most funereal of tones—that "whether for weal, or whether for woe, history would record the action of the House," was treated with silent contempt by every body, it being looked upon as a thoroughly superfluous observation. Mr. Edgar Bowring made a very successful dantt in favour of the bill, and Mr. Brodrick made an equally successful speech against it. The latter gentle man spoke like a practised debater, and had evidently well studied the part he had marked out for him self. his allusion to the constituency of Bandon Bridge brought up Mr. Shaw, the first Liberal member who has been returned for that town for 30 years. Mr. Shaw spoke with a strong Irish accent, but his observations soon proved that he was a practical man, and that he was well calculated to bear his testimony to the subject under dis cussion. In the most positive manner he declared that if any hon. gentleman opposite could shew him one point of injustice in the measure brought in by her Majesty's Government, he should have no hesitation in voting against his party. This, however, he went on to say (amid the encouraging cheers of members around him) was im possible, for every act of the present Government had proved that they were thoroughly in earnest in their endeavour to deal with Irish discontent. It was not until Mr. Assheton Cross rose, that the House had recovered its interest in the debate since Mr. Disraeli concluded his speech. As the victor over Mr. Gladstone in South-West Lancashire, Mr. Cross's appearance was especially aggravat ing to those sitting on the Liberal benches. During his speech he evidently intended to fly at high game — now attacking Mr. Bright, and then having a tilt with Mr. Gladstone. His remarks were so long and weari some that the Liberals attempted to hoot him down, whereupon the Conservatives bristled with rage, and refused to allow their Lancashire champion to be treated in such a disrespectful manner. The Liberals groaned and cried "Ob, oh !" while the Con servatives testified, by repeated cheering, that Mr. Cross should have his say. At last the Speaker had to interfere, for the interruptions were so loud and frequent that it was impossible to hear what the hon. gentleman was speaking about. He wound up his speech by quoting a passage from one of Mr. Gladstone's orations in Lancashire, in tending it to act as a bombshell to the Liberal party. But this attempt signally failed. Every few words of the extract were loudly cheered by the Ministerial party, inter spersed with groans from their opponents. The expression, " There is the Church of Ireland, there is the land of Ireland," evoked sounds of approval and disapproval from the respective sides of the House. The Conservatives— who, whatever their numbers may be, are strongest in their lungs—cheered lustily as a taunt that the difficulties in Ireland would not be ended with the disestablishment of the Church. On the other hand, the Liberals vocife rously applauded the speech, as indicating that they would be ready to deal with the land question after the Church was settled. Amid the discord of voices could be heard distinctly the stentorian tones of Sir James Elphinstone, which were quickly answered by the sharp and piquant voice of the Chief. Secretary for Ireland. When Mr. Fortescue rose to speak, it was taken for granted that he would wind up the debate for the night, and members soon began to leave the House. The right hon. gentleman was severe on the leader of the Opposition for advising the Irish clergy not to. co•operate with the Government, and pointed out that if they followed his advice, it would be to their own &advantage.
