HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by- - viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 prymintns paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management aro less thau those of last year by u pwards of £1,400. But they s till i nclude 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 oi per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. y, in deference to an ob bnLyifte revue invited to as- Assurance is in their jseuer T tei h ,o enthia,that Directors uie nofrredgi o nu f ae nr t yt h i i ym s ou C dr o ge m eod p f a 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, adbe F icili o itn r ye o t tor h e and Unchallengeable. co to, ounn persons hesitate or in the event of in tdimutuhaenaPayment 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, unwillingnessassurereanorneftebrteog rd 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. 13y 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 Isngest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, 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 _ horn hPid 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 pround whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of q uestionable, and it obt a i ns t h e largest amount of new bui.-in , •ss of any office i n the Kingdom.

Voultrf,Loudon, E.Q. Ooptombor, 1868. J ~ / I,S PEACE? (From the Anglo-American Times.) There is reason to believe that General GRANT expressed an opinion adverse to the CLARENDON- JoingsoN Convention freely and strongly during his visit to New York, and we regard this as the most unfavourable circumstance connected with this most unfortunate subject of dispute. If the ' PRESIDENT be decidedly hostile to any settlement (for any other settlement we believe to be impos sible), the question must remain open as an un healed sore, perhaps hereafter to stir up the States into uncontrollable irritation—perhaps for retalia tion, which would immediately produce war. This will be the deliberate election of the United States, fur Eogland is acknowledged to hive c -,needed Mr. SEwaan's demands, an 1 to hare satisfie I not only the chosen b United States c:na Exeve, bit the Plenipoten tiaryth) Senate without a dissentient voice to con Ina, this very negotkti in. The Re public is under the impression that she can wait ; that li •r C / :1,1113 lose none of their force by time ; and that in them she 111.3 a standing grievance an 1 menace against Great Britain. We consider this to be a most unfortunate delusion, born of the old arroganci of man a3suniing the place of Phovt- PENCE. There is no country so placed as to need the speedy removal of disputes inora than the United States. England is an old, settled Monarchy, worn into its present form by the friction of ages, ac companied by numerous convulsions and dreadful wars. She is an extinct volcano which might blaze up again, but now shows no signs, indeed in this way is believed to be exhausted. Her late elec tions have proved. a marvellous similarity of feeling through all classes, from the Land's End to Johnny Groat's House, the whole people with very slight divergence thinking alike. The foreign policy of . England is such that nothing save the - most wanton aggression could drive her into war, and possessing the knowledge that a war with any other country would involve a war also with the United States she is bound in heavy damages to keep the peace. Her weak spot is Ireland, but Americans exaggerate the degree of her weakness there. Such is the nation which some America is consider will soon offer them the chance for retalia tion by its becoming involved in strife. Although the United States are masters of their continent, and separated from other Powers by au ocean, yet we doubt whether their chance of war be not greater than that of England, The Union is the most rapid formation of a first-class Power ever known, not created by conquest. She is a volcano lately in active eruption, and even now smoking. The elements of contention are scattered abroad, and subjects of dispute grow quickly and loom threaten ingly in the future. It is possible the United States may desire to keep this foreign difficulty to neutralize home difficulties, on the same principle that a homeopathist treats his patient; but though it may answer for the physical body, we doubt its applicability to the body politic, convinced that the speediest and com plete settlement of a dispute is, as a rule, the best. The chances are that in future political contests public attention being absorbed the Alabama claims will be wholly or partially lost sight of. Dropped for a few years, it will be difficult again to arouse for them public attention, for they involve endless, wearisome despatches, and much dry legal references. The general impression will then be that England's offer to pay for the damage caused by the piratical cruisers which got to sea from her harbours was refused by the United States. The proposal to submit the case to arbitration will esta -1 blish a precedent favourable to Great Britain, and one that will tell against the United States if cruisers escaping from a port of the Republic here ' after destroy British commerce. Why should not the United States then do what Great Britain now does ?—offer to submit the claims to arbitration. The nation that proposes to do this will find it more profitable to keep their cruisers at home ; yet the precedent will be difficult for America to evade. Thus England, by this rejected Convention, will hive materially improved her position in a matter before so bad that Englishmen scarcely liked to talk of it. Mr. GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS'S letter, 1 tranferred from the New York World to the Mites, ' rune,ioly states the reasons why Lb, cunv elliatill should not be rejected in America. But our object is rather to consider what might reasonably be ex pected to be the position if the claims remain ' unsettled during GRANT'S Administration. " His toricua " amusingly arrogant now' as always, be lieves, and so do we, that, notwithstanding the PRESIDENT'S opinion, who really knows little or nothing of foreign affairs, that the subject will be reconsidered after his inauguration, either through ' another Ambassador instructed by his Administra tion, or, as suggested by a writer in an evening paper, by the despatch from England of such a Minister as Mr. JOHN BRIGHT. The hope is all the brighter as there arc no people easier to deal with than Americans, if the authorities only know he way ; but it has been the misfortune of England to be ignorant of America in density almost in proportion to rank; and as rank rules in Britain, that ignorance has caused unlooked-for mischief. A glance shows many home reasons why the dispute should not be kept open, although they ' have nothing to do with the Convention or the claims. Although General GRANT enters the White House with the exclamation still clinging to him "LA us have Peace," the sort of peace he is about to have has been aptly illustrate I in the counting of the electoral votes. On the one side were the Senate, on the other the Representatives, and champions of thoseon the floor, in angry controversy, were the bodies. The question was whetherthehavd ruled s le o d f Senate Georgia should be counte d ; the that they should, the House that theys e hoiiltlnot , ; th but the President of t he Senate was presidin g office' of the joint Convention, and the Speaker of the House was about to succeed if f o tlis thesnoeflil. Their r uli n g was on the decision se tting aside that of the .louse as it had never been made, and BEN BUTLER, with his sleeves tucked up, was battling fo r the rights of the Re presentatives, cheered by most of them, while the Senators upheld the presiding officer. After the Senate had retired to their own Chamber, BUTLER proposed a strong resolution of censure for this in fringement of the rights and privileges of thepeoapolde. There is a fight brewing betwee n the Senate the Representatives which does not augur peace. Last Monday, the Republica n caucus of the Senate d ß e e e p id ea e l d to B i t ll ak u e n n t o il ancteixotn coonngtrbeess'..lr'enuarle-aotfsmffipclye e id x e t n w t, eek an_d Iv with means distrust of the r gc e o still less bodes Peace. we go to press againh— for the new Congress S m e i n n a g te of r e n s W efore they transfer the de iankoesnt identicaltheir seats wil i l li h b a e ve al t the present body : t Ives after GRANT has sent to their Cabinet, to themselves de cision from themselves, before , GRANT proclaims his Chamber t h e names of the m en he selects. Should with t h ose chosen not tally the wishes of the Senate the in the face of this difficulty, immediately . the Tenure-of -Office Act . will not be repealed, and GRANT is most brought into contact. Does a-grave misunderstanding with that legislative body with which he is ,, this portend peace? Simultaneously with GRANT'S inauguration a firebrand will be thrown into the country, for ex-President JOHNSON, stripped of the Itrammels of his high office, will stand free to take up the gauntlet cast down by the Radical chiefs. It is a mistake to suppose that ANDREW JOHNSON will drift into retirement to brood over the Radical in dignities inflicted on him during his Presidential term. Already a great party has formed in Ten nessee which he has been invited to head, and the fiercest political conflict ever known in that State is there anticipated. Now this means something to those who know the limits of a political contest in Tennessee, nor are these elements of strife to be re strained within the boundaries of a State. The proceedings - which gave the epithet of " Bleeding" to Kansas inaugurated the civil war, and although a man would have been pronounced mad who pre dicted that JOHN BROWN was but the herald of a mighty invasion, yet we now look back and see the smooth sequence ; event following event in the na tural order of things, although our glance is over States devastated—a prairie of g raves —and a poli tical change which makes the Union of 1869_ differ from the Union of 18-60. The moral we de rive from all this is the same for which we s have so long contended, and it is that given.by our ~..a...viouß" " Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him !" 4.------- ) _ _
