The directors draw special attention to tho fact that 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 bo 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 and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, Chairman of the Company, in the chair. 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.

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 nn willingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this &ass 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 duratimn 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 b an k ers , ca pit a lists, 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 P o licy issued on this pla n 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 w ill b e en ti re ly r e m oved, 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 l.'ngest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five a s shown by the Tables. Th us , b an k ers , credi tors, yours, as holding policies of this class as security, may s know the utmost amount they'may be called upon a d van ce so as to maintain . the full benefit of the __a matter of great importance where policies n a t l o way It is only necessary t o ad d that, as a consequence of the policies A r s o su b r e a ld ne a es collateral security. s under these tables being, unforfeitablo and uncon ditional,may therefore be aptl y t erme d Ab so l u t e they will also be unc hallengeable on any ground whatever.

The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cant. ; 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 ye* by upwards of £14400. 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 ALLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On comparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that fur=ther investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about 411 :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., H.C.B. Chair man. WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE Esq., Deputy .hairmn. Charles Bischoff, Esq. Chas. Thos. Holcombe, nig- Thomas Boddington, Esq.

Augustus Guy, Esq. F.B.S. Admiral The trench semi-official papers state that the accounts of the Republican rising in Italy are exaggerated. Mazzini is opposed to the attempt, which has, besides, found no support amongst the people. This confirms the intelligence given by the Liberle that Mazzini does not deem the time propitious for a movement, but it is none the less true that the Republican leader is quietly pursuing his agitation policy. QUEEN ISABELLA. It is stated at Paris that the counsellors of Queen Isabella have held their last meeting. Most of them have long been of opinion that the only chance for the fallen dynasty lay in the ex-Queen abdicating in favour of her son. The question was again put at this " Cabinet Council," and the Queen again refused. The meeting then broke up. Some of the Queen's cLdherents have given up all hcpe, and have resolved to try their fortunes elsewhere. It is even said that Father Claret will shortly set out for Rome, where he will live in retirement THE STRIKE AT GENEVA. The poop!. of Geneva are not disposed to tolerate the interference of a foreign association. Two strikes have just occurred in the Swiss city. One was a strike of printers, wh'cli was supported by the International Society of Workmen ; but iu spite of this aid the move ment collapsed. Then the society incited the masons to pack up their tools, and gave them support. Some work men who did not want to strike were assaulted. But the Geneveso will not stand it. Several thousands of the populace have met and resolved to uphold the Govern ment, without distinction of party, in its endeavours to preserve freedom of labour. CONSULAR COURTS IN EGTPT. Tne Etendard announces the speedy solution of the international difficulty relative to the consular courts in Egypt. It will be remembered that the Viceroy of Egypt proposed a commission to investigate the relations of the consular courts with the native Government. Much trouble and much injustice have arisen from the irrespon sibility of foreigners to native courts, and from their right of claiming to be tried in the consular tribunals. All the nations wbichwould be affected by this commission gave their sanction to it, excepting only France. For severalmonths past negotiations have been going on between the French and Egyptian Governments with the view of removing, if possible, the objections of the former. The Etendard announces that an agreement has been come to, and that the difficulty will soon be ended. What the end will be the semi-official paper does not say. THE FIRE AT THE CAPE. Half the world seems to have been recently afflicted with a season of great drought. Europe, Australia, and South Africa have all suffered alike. At the Cape the drought has resulted in one of those great fires which are so common on the American prairies. The scorched grass was accidentally ignited in one place, and the blaze ran over the country like the explosion of a gun powder train. The effects of the conflagration have been most calamitous. In one district twenty homesteads were destroyed, and more than a score natives burnt to death. In another very rich district many of the finest farms in South Africa were destroyed, the people saving their lives by rushing into the river. One very rich farmer had only time to drag his box, with some thousands of sovereigns in it, to the water. Throwing himself in with his box, he stood up to his chest in water for an hour or more, barely escaping being burnt to•death by the long rushes growing on the bank. The destruction of live stock has, of course, been immense. ATROCITIES OF LOPEZ. Mr. Masterman, who entered the Paraguayan service in 1861 as chief military apothecary, gives a long account of the sufferings he endured at the hands of Lopez. In October 1862, he was arrested because ho would not give up a packet of letters he had received for a prisoner. He was thrown into a filthy cellar swarming with centipedes, scorpions, and other vermin. He says: " One mast pain ful addition to my sufferings was that my cell adjoined the inner patio, where political prisoners were often tortured in a most revolting manner. I could not see them, but their groans and shrieks were but too audible, and I shall never forget the agony they occasioned me. I re mained in that horrible place, in a dim twilight, a foetid atmosphere, and surrounded by patients dying from Asiatic cholera, for eleven months, never once leaving it nor seeing sunlight the whole of the time. I left it sick, emaciated, and half blind, and so changed in appearance that my most intimate friends scarcely knew me." After further sufferings, Mr. Masterman was set at liberty, through the energetic action of the United States. But during that time he was the unwilling witness of scores of executions—men, women, and childrenbeing tortured and butchered wholesale. THE VOCE OF THE CHURCH. Not only in Dublin have protests been made at the diocesan conferences, but in Navan, Limerick, and Eilkenny. At all the s me cry of "No Sur rcnder " Nss. iJised ; but at Navan, Lord Dunsany appealed to the meeting to look at the practical side of the question. lie w.:s not sanguine enough to believe that the bill would be ultimately rejected. Were they ? If not let them rather endeavour to obtain a moderation of the details of the bill than to be continually shouting against all change. The cry of " No Surrender " woald neither confirm nor conciliate. his lordship happily was listened to, and there was no talk of repeal. Indeed, no one believes but that the repealis all pretence. The National Association of Dublin have adopted a resolution declaring that the new agitation for a repeal of the Union is a pretence and a sham, put forward in the interest of an anti-Irish ascendancy party. When the agitation is over, the very party which is now for separation is likely to be foremost in its eenunciation of sedi tion. And when the agitation is over, it is hoped we shall have no more language, like that of Dr. Gregg f„lling from the lips of a bishop. In a recent meeting the Bishop of Cork concluded a speech by saying "They talk of bills and bills, but Billy Glad stone and his bill may go to the . At tins meeting the proceedings terminated with singing the Doxology. LEVELLING UP. It would be interesting► to know how many of the leading members of the Conservative party are really in favour of " levelling up" as regards our ecclesi astical policy in Inland. Lord Mayo first made the proposal, with Mr. Disraeli's full approval. Dr. Ball, in his very able speech, did not attempt to disguise that he preferred three Establishments to none. And now Sir John Pakington, at a Conservative banquet in Worcestershire, has openly expressed the same preference. There is no doubt that some of the Whig peers, notably Lords Russell, Grey, Westbury, and Clanricarde, would choose this solution of the question. There is reason to suppose that it meets with favour in the highest quarter of all. But, judging from the elections, this idea is a dead horse, which it is utterly useless to flog. THE PEERS AND THE BILL. Lord Wharncliffe's speech at Pontefract is worthy of special notice from the fact that he, a Conserva tive, expressly stated that the Peers' rejection of Mr. Gladstoue's Suspensory Bill last year did not pledge them to the rejection of his present bill. They threw out the first because they thought it premature in face of the approaching appeal to the country. That appeal has now been made, with what result is well known ; therefore—the inference is Lord Wharncliffe's—the Peers stand in a wholly different position from that which they occupied last year. I.ER. CHARLEY. There has been a Conservative gathering at Sal ford, in which Mr. Charley, one of the members, said that God had chosen him to " assist in working a righteous retribution on William Ewart Gladstone." He added that his constituents had consecrated him to that high and holy mission, and to that mission he would devote his life. We are told that this was a " dry " meeting, that it was not a dinner such as the Conservatives usually affect. We can scarcely credit it. If Mr. Charley can talk like this from a platform, what would he say from a dinner table He would beat Chammene Charlie himself. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
