The directors draw special attention to the fact the.t 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 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. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds awl constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

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 ro 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 offices last 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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. 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- Tll5 commend itself, b e i ng en ti re ly f ree f rom a ll condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause wh a t ever; w hil e a t th e 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 aseuring 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 it,sued 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 onco 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 cltss 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 neeessnry to add Viat, ns n consequence of the policies under these tables being unforleitable an.l uncon ditional, they will also be unchnllerg..nblo on any gonna whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Sconrity Tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sosses,an ft•oome 0f...42111AM a Soar- Its positioujs un rine.tioLalA,, and it obtains the lar4ost amount of pow of any ()Mee in the Kingdom.

'FOREIGN NOTES. ILLNESS OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR The - health of the Emperor Napoleon is said to be very indifferent just now. He was very feeble during his visit to Chalons and Beauvais, and the Paris correspondent of the Inderendance Beige says that on Sunday last, after a dejeancr at Mouchy-le-Chatel, he fainted away. He was unable to walk from the chateau to the railway station-- a very short distance—and had to be assisted into a car riage by two persons. ENGLAND )ND THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Belgian members of the Commission on the railway difficulty, after another journey to Brussels to confer with their Government, have returned to Paris. Once more the official papers express the hope that the dispute will now be settled. It seems they are all under the impres sion that England has counselled Belgium to accept the demands of France in their entirety ; and the Patrie, which is very positive on this point, says that the advice of the British Government is likely to be followed. In fact, the Patrie announces, as an official communication, that all the Powers which assisted at the London Conference in 1331, which led to the recognition of the Belgian Kingdom, have expr - ersed the opinion that the demands of France in no way infringe the independence of Belgium, and they ticcordimdy recommend the settle ment of the question in accordance with these demands. If this be really the case, the question must be regarded as settled. Many of the German papers have begun to look upon this Belgian difficulty with a very jealous eye. Some of them even announced that England was about to send a squadron to the mouth of the Scheldt. But the Patric affirms that this rumour arose from the fact that the Flying Squadron was at first destined to touch at some of the European ports. This design, however, has been aban doned, and the squadron will go direct to Brazil. OUR NEW COLONIAL POLICY. The Canadian Government has been informed by a despatch from Earl Granville that the home authorities are quite willing to assist the colony in the work of forti fying, by guaranteeing loans for the construction of defences. At the same time, however, the British Ministry does not consider it necessary that the Canadians should involve themselves in any expense of this kind unless they choose to do so. Earl Granville adds that all the Imperial troops not needed for the military stations on the peace establishment will be withdrawn. If vessels of war are required on the lakes the colonists must pay for them. It seems that this new policy of refusing to snake the colonies a burden on the English taxpayer does not displease the Canadians. At least the Toronto Globe approves of the change, and remarks that the people of Canada need neither fortifica tions nor a larger army, nor did they ever feel any appre. hension of an American invasion. Of course not; when a danger seems to have passed away, it is always the practice for people to cry out that they never thought it was real. AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH THE CUBANS. The arrest of the Cuban Junta at New York is approved by the leading American lawyers, and most decidedly the measure was not taken too soon. The work of the Junta had so far progressed that, in fact, the cause of the insurgents was being won on American ground. A recruiting-office had been established at Brooklyn, and men were— and probably still are—enrolled there daily. The New York Herald understands that President Grant is in favour of granting belligerent rights to the Cubans, but the Cabinet is against him. Secretary Fish strongly sympathises with the Cubans, but Attorney-General Hoar and Secretary Boutwell are pronouncedly on the other side. THE INSURRECTION IN crni. The news from Cuba brought by steamer has mostly been anticipated by telegraph. It is vague, and in some respects conflicting, but, on the whole, de cidedly unfavourable to the Spanish cause. It appears more than ever certain that the insurgents won the engage ment—some say there were two—in the neighbourhood of Puerto Padre. The force which has landed under General Jordan has joined the natives, according to the New York. Herald. As we have previously announced, the insurgents have now established communication with the sea coast, and will be able to protect the landing of expedi tions. The New York journals agree that the Spaniards are getting frightened. NOVA SCOTIA. A few days ago we announced by telegraph that the league formed to promote the repeal of the union between Nova Scotia and the Dominion of Canada had passed strong resolutions in favour of annexation to the United States. These resolutions, however, are in favour of using only " legitimate " means to secure the end in view. Leagues are to be formed throughout the province for the purpose of agitating the annexation question. THE LATE MR. RAYMOND. The death of Mr. Raymond, the founder and editor of the Kew York Ti»zcs, has given rise to expressions of regret from the whole of the New York Press. To no man Clore American journalism owe so much. At a time when the rowdyimo, which is yet by no means extinct, was the chief characteristic of the united States Presq, Mr. Raymond set an example in moderation and impartiality which has lia,d great effect. Un'iThr his management the Arm York Tirse.r , bew.i.J*a • great power in the States, aml yet its style of thought was the very converse of that of American journalism in general. So far from committing himself hastily to extravagant opinions, :1l r. flaymond was rather extreme in his caution. The objection he was most likely to make to an article submitted to him by one of his subordinate editors was, "You go a little too far; I hardly think your position true and sound." "He was never known to dictate to his journalistic staff opinions which they must express in opposition to their own views. llis custom has been to not even give suggestions to the Times' editorial writers, but to leave -each to write what he thought fit, and the article done and handed to him he would insert it or not as he thought proper." In short, he made the Press of New York respectable, and even those of its representatives which have not yet attained respectability are fain to acknowledge this. MR. PEABODY. We in England are often guilty of mobbing our cele brities, but we scarcely inflict upon them such hard treat ment as is experienced by people of note in America. At the Boston Peace Festival, on Friday, June 18, Mr. Pea body was present. Between the first and second parts of the concert he was at once seized by the Mayor, and brought forward as the " friend of the whole world." Mr. Peabody, in response to tumultuous cheering, said that his love fur the Old World could never exceed that which he enter tained for the New. CIVILISED AMUSEMENTS. We recently drew attention to a shocking trapeze per forma= by girls, which has afforded infinite delight to the people and the journals of New York and Phila delphia. One elder sister hangs from a trapeze with her head downwards, and a younger swings from off another trapeze, turns a somersault in the air, and is caught by the hands of the suspended girl. This exhibition, which outdoes even the horrors to be witnessed in England, has just had its natural result. A man who stands below to take the little girl from the hands of her sister dropped her a few days ago, and she was severely hurt. And yet the fellow who bad failed to catch the little one insisted on her re-performing the terrible feat. This proposition was met by loud cries of dissent and hisses, and the child retired. In a few moments she was again introduced, and a second time she essayed the leap, but failed on account of weakness. For several moments she swayed to and fro over the heads of the audience, and was at length rescued by several gentle. men. Of course the people all cried "Shame !" An audience always is very virtuous when an accident takes place through a performance sanctioned by its own bruta taste. CORRUPTION IN THE ITALIAN LEGISLATURE. It is probable that the commission now inquiring into the alleged corruption of certain slernbers of the Italian Parliament in the affair of the Tobacco Monopoly will report some serious disclosures. It is a fact that one senator took a bribe of £l,OOO. The Senate is about to form itself into a high court for the purpose of trying this culprit.
