The interest recei ve d 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 e xtraneous 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. 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 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.

The bias of the writer is evidently to . the South, but on the whole the subject is not unfairly bandied. It is clear he thinks that Grant was fortunate in com mencing that portion of his . career which so quickly gave him his world-wide reputation in the West, and that his operations continued to be there con duc:cd till the spirit and strength of the South had been nearly subdued. The opportunities the re viewer has had of discussion whhthe act ingGenerals in the civil war were he confesses those engaged in the Confederate service. He notices two &Tray° faults committed by the rebel Government ; the one against Lee's advice was the ievasions of the Nord. re States, for this roused the enmity of a large class in the North who opposed the conquest of the Smith and would take no part therein, but who at once threw themselves vigorously into the contest when their own hearths and homes were threatened. These inroads only produced a ruinous recoil, wasting much invaluable Southern material in creating that very reaction to strengthen the North. The other eerer to which the reviewer alludes is the fatal inaction of Bragg before Chata noega, after failing to carry that city, then defended by Thomas. He waited before it for weeks, till Grant having gathered up his strength attacked his entrenchments in overwhelming force and drove him pell-mell from Tennessee, commencing that great march which Sherman carried out by splitting the Confederate' States from Savannah inland, towards the capital of Tennessee, nar rowing the country under the control of Presi dent Davis into Virginia and the Carolinas. Granter first Aerations rand - thbae - Of the fleet) severed the Confederacy along the line of the Mis sissippi; his next severed the States on the left bank up to the line of Sherman's march, and the Con federate Government had then as much chance of surviving as a man would have who had two ra piers through his body. After Bragg's defeat a law was passed creating a new grade, and Grant's name was submitted to the Senate for the promotion with the control of all the land forces of the United States, when he was ordered to take the command in person of the army of the Potomac. The reviewer believes that Grant would have pre ferred to :conduct the operations afterwards so skilfully carried out by his trusted Lieutenant, Sherman, but the Washington Government desired, above all things, according to this authority, to re trieve its military reputation in Virginia, there so sadly tarnished. The belief was general among the soldiers of the Western corps that the grand army of the Potomac had never been properly handled, that the material of the contending forces was the same iu the East as in the West, notwithstanding that suc cess followed success, and State after State was wrested from the South in the valley of the Mis sissippi, while within cannon-sound of Washington, there was little else than gloOmy defeats, the very seat of Government being repeatedly threatened, and even the State of Pennsylvania inva led. The difference was accounted for by the fact that the great Northern commanders were all with the armies of the West, while the most accomplished General of the Confederacy personally commanded - in his native State, Virginia. Grant then was pitted against Lee, and it is clear the reviewer be lieves that in the famous Southern chief be met more than his match. Grant himself held the opinion general in the West, that the Army of the Potomac had never fairly been fought, and this ac counts for the obstinate manner in which he struck at his adversary till he had sacrificed more than 50,000 men, when he foand himself much in the same position as that from which M'Clellan had been driven, while with less than a third of that loss Lee bad frustrated his adversary's plan of the cam paign. The reviewer acknowledges that Grant's army was four-fifths made up of recruits, while Lee's was composed of the finest soldiers of the Con. federacy. He term them (we write from memory, not having the Review before us) those glorious sol diers, the admiration of the word I, who made up by their individual qualities for their want of discip- line. Grant's plan, as originally conceived, and often by hial recommended, was to work round Lee's flank, seizing the railroads which carried his sup- When circumstances had driven him into plies. the adoption of his own old scheme, he was quickly justified by the result. Although the Confederates were not so desperately pushed for men as the Fede ral General believed, who asserted they were "rob bing the cradle and the grave," their commissariat was so badly conducted that while Lee's army was starving, four months' provisions were stored at Raleigh, North Carolina, and the want of supplies tended materially to break down Lee's strength. Against his own judgment, but urged by the political necessity and the Richmond Govern ment, Lee continued the defence of that city long after military reasons showed the danger of rt i l maining. Grant had so worked round his fla that, in face of this watchful enemy, he could not, evacuate the position, therefore his line of retreat was in a degree commanded, while he could not de fend works extending over forty miles, with scarcely as many thousand men. When his en trenchments were carried, Lee made great and un availing efforts to get his army out of the trap, but he was fairly caught by a general who was not likely to give him the chance of retrieving the dis aster, yet who, hopeless as Lee's case was, tendered generous terms, at the risk of bringing on his head the indignation of a section of the North. Nor that only, for when Andrew Johnson desired, in the first moments of vengeance, to make an example of General Lee and some of the leading officers of the Confederacy, Grant took up that determined position for the fulfilment of the conditions he had proposed, from which men knew it was impossible to make him retreat. The scene on the surrender at the Appommatox Court House is touched on, when Lee, with tears streaming down his cheeks, turned to his soldiers and said, " I have done the best for you ; I could do no more." Although the reviewer intends to be fair, we think he does but scant justice to the renowned Northern commander, whose military exploits during the war of the rebel lion will stand out the more prominently as the little confusing details fall away by time, leaving the great landmarks lonely and bare, and Grant will, we bElieve, appear a greater general to suc ceeding ages than he appears to his own contem poraries, for it is by what remains alone that he will then be measured. —Anglo-ilmerican 2:nzes.
