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 for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. Tho 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 5i per cent. on the total income. - The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

Established 1848. • • The Directors o f 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 p-omulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be. absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesit•tte 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 cialls 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 pernitun paid, braving 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 hankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they ran at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value,. either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy itssued on this plan will be witholt any conditions as to voyaging. foreign resid.nce, or other .. .usual limit +bona. By this freedom from resl rictions 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 1. ngest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the 'Fables. Thus, tankers, 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 unferfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any krouud 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

The Temps confidently repeats the statement made amt little time ago that Quern Victoria bad written very pressing autograph letter to the Emperor iN'apoletu re. erecting the troublesome railway dispute. The remps cannot state how far this communication may have in fluenced the precipitate settlement of the dispute, but it believes that the danger of the question has altogether die , appeared. It may now be taken for certain that the terms of settle. merit do not involve the leasing of the Belgian lines, that they do not go - beyond the establishment of an interna tional system of traffic ; in short, that the firmness of the Belgian Government has prevailed. Curiously enough, the Constitutionnel, a French semi-official paper, asserts that the settlement is favourable to Belgium, and contra dicts the Independance, a pel g ian paper which feared that its Government had got the worst of the nego tiations. The Constitutioune/ says that the Brussels Cabinet some time ago made exiklAnatlons which assured the French Government that the law respecting railway corwentions had no political signiEcance. The negotia tions were, therefore, conducted solely on a commercial basis. And the result has been the nomination of a mixed commis.4on, the business of which will be to arrange the details of an extensive international railway service. " This proposition was made by Belgium as an equivalent for the original lease project." The affair may no - ,v be regarded as disposed of, TUE MILAN CONSPIRACY. The discovery of the Republican plot at Milan has given rise to a question of considerable importance. The conspirators were well supplied with money. One of then offered a £4O note to each of the two soldiers who arrested him. And in none of these enterprises does there appear to be any lack of the war sinews. Where does all this money come from ? It is said that since 1860 subscriptions for rev3lutionury purposes have been very difficult to get in Italy. It is certain that no great sum can be raised by subscription. None of the conspirators is very rich. The Italian Gazette endeavours to solve the difficulty by ins. puting to Mazzini and his compatriots the circulation of a large quantity of forged bank notes. Italy labours under the curse of a forced paper currency, and a great number of noteslravet been found unauthorised. The Gazette states. that they have been put in circulation by the workmen's societies throughout the kingdom, and that the money thus realised has been handed over to the conspirators. Mazzini is the honorary president of almost all these workmen's societies. It would, however, be unfair to accept an accusation so grave without further proof. TIIE czEcns. A telegram from Prague states : "The commandant of the town has caused official placards to he posted in the streets announcing the abolition of the exceptional state of the law established last autumn." Prague is the capital of Bohemia, and the " exceptional state of the law" is nothing less than a state of siege, which was declared by the Government on the 10th of October last, and has been maintained ever since. The Czechs desired the establishment of an autonomy similar to that granted to Hungary. The Government not meeting their wishes, furious riots took - place, mass demonstrations were held, and the soldiery was assailed. The women took a very prominent part in these eemi•insurrectians. Conciliatory efforts have since been made, and have so far succeeded that military rule is no longer found necessary. CROWNING THE EDIFICE. Many signs point to the conclusion that . the Emperor Napoleon will not be able to hold grit much looker against the ever-increasing agitation on behalf of liberty and constitutional government in France. It is hard to keep one of the first nations of the world in chains whilst every neighbouring people is in the enjoyment of freedom. The Constitutionnel of Wednesday contained a remarkable article, supporting those numerous indepen dent candidates who uphold the Emperor's dynasty, but who at the same time demand parliamentary govern ment. The Presse is still more explicit. It says that an extraordinary session of the new Corps L4gislatif will commence on the 15th of June and last until the middle of August. On the opening day of this short session a proclamation, the prelude to great constitutional changes and the down fall of irresponsible Government, will be addressed to the representatives of the French nation. It - is notice able that the Government, whilst strongly opposing the hot and strong Left representatives, is dealing very tendeily with those candidates whose watchword is " Liberty and the Empire." THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The scanty ne‘ls from Paraguay shews that warlike aperations aro still going on ; but it appears unlikely that . che contest will result in much more fighting. Lopez, however, bad accumulated a force of some kind and was within reach of the Allies, who were preparing to attack him. It r. - ai expected that his positlon in the mountains would be reached early in April. It is satisfactory t..) learn that the navigation of tie great rivers of Ow hostile region, the Paraguay and the riirnna, is th,ronghly Thus the evil egrets of the war on connnerc:.• are disap• venting., DR. COLENSO'S rr.orrcEs. Colonel Alexander has a word to s ay on behalf of the Zulus- the race bleb had the honour of pindocing that keen-witted individual who brought about sueli a revolu tion in Bishop C.denso's theology. The Zulus of Natal, says the Colonel, are a standing disproof of the theory that coloured races are dying out before the advancing civilisation of the white man. " The Zulus have increased immensely, not by immigration merely from neighbouring regions, but in the natural order of things, when the ground is cultivated in peace, when war is unknown, and ardent spirits do not demoralise the people and induce vice in many. shapes." When Natal was first made a colony they numbered but 10,000 men ; now they are hundreds of thousands. They devote themselves to agriculture, and have forgotten all about war. Hundreds of acres are now waving with native cultivation. In fact, they do so much work for them selves that coolies have been brought into the colony to labour for the whites. They drink nothing stronger than beer made from maize and milk. Colonel Alexander believes that the Maories also are an example of a native race flourishing in the midst of civilisation. Setting aside the party now engaged in rebellion, the Colonel can point to large tracts of land under Maori cultivation, Maori schooners waiting to receive the produce, and flour mills owned by Maori proprietors, who had hired Europeans to put them np. We must not accept too has'aily the theory that all races except the white are doomed to vanish from the face of the earth.
