Gd. 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 tho 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. The expenses of management aro 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 5-} per cent, on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : - Dn. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, ami UN CEIALLENUEAELE, 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 'infrequently 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 coudii ions, 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 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 c'ass of the public the system row introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all cur di tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the mme time it absolutely guarantees at ,13,:a.ase, when even a de fault is made in payment of the vemium. a fixed sum in respect of every pentium paid, baring 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. fiesides 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 ret,in in, either an nscertaTtiod fis. d 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 ou these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors asturing 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 xvithert‘t any conditions as to voynaing.:,, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds [ha 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 define& The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, an,l the shortest five years, as shown by the Tab'es. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this ellas as security. may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the AssuraLzes—a matter of great importance where pol'cies are h4•ld as collateral security. It :s only necesspry to add that, ns a consequence of the rolieies under these tables hying imforfe!table and uncon ditional, they will also be unehallengeable on any #trouud 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 tho largest amount of now buiane,ls of any offico in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. ,;2--e_-e__--0 ~ ,~ FoaxIGN-Yown, THE MASSACRE IN EAST AFRICA; Lieutenant Prideaux, in a letter to the Telegraph, throws some light upon the meagre accounts of the massacre of Mr. Powell and family. In the first place, the massacre did not take place in Abyssinia at all. The country of Bask), in which the calamity is stated to have occurred, does not belong to Abyssinia, either geographically or politically, but is properly a dependency of Egypt. It is inhabited by a set of irreclaimable savages, of Negro or Shankela origin, between whom and their Christian neighbours an interminable feud subsists. Though superior in physique and courage to the Abyssinians, as a rule, the latter nevertheless bed them in great contempt, and always denominate them the " Bctrea," or slave-race. Thus Mr. Powell followed the advice of his two friends, and avoided the dangers of Abyssinia, but unfortunately plunged into a region not less unsafe. In Macerer, who accompanied Mr. Powell, and was killed with Lim, Lieutenant Prideaux recognises an old acquaintance. His proper name is Jean Baptiste Mackerel-. He was not an Englishman, but a native of Alsace, who, after having served for some years in the rench army, came to Abyssinia as an adventurer, and tered the service of the late Mr. Bell, Theodore's friend !hd counsellor. After that gentleman's death he became 'nothing more nor less than a private soldier in the King's army, and afterwards accompanied Captain Speedy in an elephant-shooting expedition in the Atbara country. Eventually he became a dependent of Consul Cameron, and shared his captivity, in and out of chains, till released by Lord Napier's army. lle then went to Egypt, but his roving habits led him to persuade Mr. Powell to hazard, his life in the jungles of Bazen. Lieutenant Prideaux much fears that the murderers will go unpunished, and it is, unfortunately, impossible to entertain any hope of justice. The Government of Egypt can do nothing—indeed, the country is not yet under sub jection, and many years will probably elapse before it will be so. As to another expedition, the Times and other papers simply allude to the idea, with the comment that it is not to be thought of. A.D. 1720. ROYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE CORPORATION.

Some of the American journals have attempted to throw ridicule upon Professor Goldwin Smith, and, indeed, upon Englishmen in general, for attaching too much importance to Mr. Sumner's famous philippic. Mr. Smith writes to the Beehive justifying the serious apprehensions which he, in common with LIU countrymen, entertained when the senator's speech was made public : " Mr. Sumner did not speak merely for himself ; being Chairman of the Committee pn Foreign Relations, he spoke as the organ of the Senate, which, instead of reject ing the treaty in Secret Session, according to its custom, threw open its doors that he might denounce and menace England before the world. All his colleagues except one voted with him ; alt who spoke supported and commended him. His speech was received with acclamation, as a faithful expression of the feelings and intentions of the country, by the great organs of public opinion, especially by those cwnwcted with the party in power. The antipathy to England had for some time been assiduously cultivated by the press ; and the President himself, if the circum stantial statement of the great journal of his own party was to be believed, had expressed sentiments similar to those of Mr. Sumner on the question at issue. The pro pensities of the Annexationist Party had been excited by the insurrection in Cuba ; and the annexation of Canada had been propounded in a quarter so influential as to cause alarm to the Canadians themselves. If this state of things was not serious, I do not know what state of things is,' The Professor is quite right. Mr. Sumner's speech was, indeed, extravagant, but it was for some time accepted as a just exposition of American demands. It is true that it has since been generally discarded, true that the Ircred alone remains faithful to it ; and to this change cf senti ment every credit is due. But it is unfair to tax English men with undue alarm, when Mr. Sumner's bellicose speech was at first met with such acclaim. As Mr. Goldwin Smith justly observes, "Nations very seldom wish for war. They drift through diplomatic complies. tions, and under the influence of excited feelings, into situations in which war becomes inevitable." The correspondent cf the Telegraph adds his testimony to the general opinion that the President has refused to adopt Mr. Sumner's suggestion. A period of rest is deemed the best for both countries. Mr. Motley is to go to work on the naturalisatim protocol, and the settlement of the rights and duties of consuls, especially with refe rence to offences committed by seamen in the ports of the other country. The writer is told that the idea of the American Government is to turn over the offenders to tiie Consul of their own nation for punishment. POLICY OF TUE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. The excitement of the electoral disturbances in France does not exclude attention from the probable policy of the French Government in face of the national manifestation. Divers rumours are in circulation. One is to the effect that Prince Napoleon will be made President of the Council, with a responsible Ministry. Still more persistent is the revived belief that the official days of M. Rouher are numbered. This opinion is founded on a statement in the article of the Peuple previously referred to, that the moderate men of the Left had been " classed as enemies, on account of their moderation, and had been opposed at the elections, in spite of the wise mildness of the Minister of the Interior." This passage can apply to no one but M. Rouher, and is certainly a strange expression for an Imperialist journal. The Paris correspondent of the Indepazdance Beige hears from a very good source that M. Rouher and M. de Forcade la Roquette have resigned, but that the Emperor has not yet made up his mind to accept their resignation. THE ELECTIONS IN HOLLAND. The elections in Holland possess some interest, owing to the fact that the Conservatives and Clericals have united in order to abolish secular instruction, which has been introduced into Holland. They have been defeated. The Liberals have elected twenty of their candidates, the coalition only eleven. THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. The Patric is as anxious to inform the world that Austria, Italy, and France are on the best of terms as it is to prove that affairs in Prussia are in the worst yvaaaulc WM1114011., I .-- . , • three former Powers are entirely-at one upon all the great questions of the day. It is to foster this excellent understanding that General Fleury has been sent as Ambassador to Florence. The Patrie is happy to announce that the explanations consequent upon the assassination of the Austrian Consul at Leghorn have ended satisfactorily. The King of Italy has written a cordial letter to his brother sovereign, the Emperor Francis Joseph. Some Italian officers have been invited to take part in the grand mancenvres of the Austrian army. All, in short, is couleur de rose in the relations between these three Powers, and woe to the unwary State which ventures to offend any one of them. But the Patrie ought to furnish an answer to one ques tion. It half denies that the French troops are about to evacuate Rome. How can this good understanding con tinue if they remain ? LIFE IN UTAH. The Pacific Railway is likely to disturb the quietude and seclusion of life at the great Salt Lake. The correspondent of the Standard, who is " doing " the line, passed through several canvas towns of railway builders on the way, and at one of these, wonderful to relate, he met with a decent woman. Her story, he thinks, will often be repeated now that the Pacific Railway affords facilities for flight. She was a fugitive from Utah. Her parents, who reside in Wales, became perverts to Mtn.- monism, and though they did not choose to make the pil grimage to Utah themselves, they sent their daughter out as the wife of a leading Mormon—not wife number one the correspondent inferred. She, however, had soon become sick of her existence among the saints, but had had not had an opportunity of leaving them till a " Gentile " mechanic offered her honourable marriage if she would run away, and she gladly did so. The Mormons simply repudiated her, and expelled her from the Church. She said that hundreds of other girls would run away but for the strictness with which they are watched, and knowledge of the outer world kept from them. Whether the woman's story be true or not — and the correspondent was evidentlyimpressed by it—it is quite clear that the Pacific Railwarwill place the doctrine of polygamy in some jeopardy. It is hardly likely that women will consent to be the twenty-sixth spouse of soma saint, when hundreds of prosperous sinners in the Western States want wives and cannot find thorn. In the United States Circuit Court, at Boston, May 25, an interesting case was decided growing out of the work of the rebel cruiser, the Alabama. .T he plaintiff, W. A. Caldwell, a citizen of South Carolina, was in 1861-2 part owner of the bark Lamplighter, one of the early vic tims of the Alabama. Of the other owners three were in habitants of States in rebellion, and the rest of Massachu setts. When the bark was destroyed, John Payne, the master of the vessel collected the insurance and accounted for it, and for their share in the earnings to the Massachu setts owners, but nct to the Southern owners, for obvious reasons. Mr. Payne died just at the close of the war. Th. 3 Plaintiff now brought suit against Mr. Payne's adminia trators, to recover his s hare of the insurance and earnings. The decision' was for the plaintiff, the court overruling the chief point of defence, that as a citizen of a rebel state no legal contract to pay money could be made with him, on the ground that, though a good plea during a state of war, its merits were annulled by the return of peace. Among the items that were received by the first through freight train over the Pacific Railroad were three barrels of choice California wine ; one of them was ad dressed to the President of the United States, another to nn ex-Senator from. California, and the third to Vica president Huntington of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. The wine was a present from B. N. Bugb , a.• of the National Vineyards, near Folsom, who has one of the most extensive vineyards on the Pacific coast, locatal on the Pacific Baifroad lands, and is a large manufacturer of wine and raisins. The consignment wouldreachWashing ton iu 13 days from Bacramento. rrIIE ASSOCIATION f o r the WELFARE of _1 the BLIND, 210, Oxford-street, and 127, Euston-road.
