The directors draw special attention to the fact thrt 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 Firo Association, under the ausiiices 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 aro quite separate and distinct. By order of tile Board, JOHN AIESSENT, Actuary and secretary.

Gil. 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 bo 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. bas 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, appea-s 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 ;re less than those of last year by upwards of 21,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslastabgorbed 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

It is indeed very strange that the man who, thirty years ago, as Prime Minister of France, was plotting against England, and resorting to subterfuges and diplomatic ambuscades, should now appear, as author of a volume of Sunday reading for English households. It is almost as strange to see such names as St. Louis and Calvin in conjunction. M. Guizot, however, is catholic. in the true sense of the word, DAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, 11_ by Nlr. B. L.

It was on June 12th, 1248, that he set out for Egypt. How disastrous was that expedition we need not stay to tell. "Louis forgot that he was , a king and a general, and gave way to transports of blind, unreflecting valour, and the very devotion to his cause made him continually forget, not only the difficulty of success, but the first conditions of it." At first the fervid valour of the Christians carried everything before them ; but it soon made them heedless, and exposed them to the direst reverses. Retreat became necessary. Louis, stnig gling with illness, refused to be conveyed down the Nile in a boat, because he would thereby be separated from his disheartened army. At length it became necessary to parley with the enemy, and, by some lamentable blunder, the King became a prisoner. The Sultan treated him with generosity, but demanded, as one condition of restoring his freedom, that Louis should surrender the towns in Palestine which the Christians still held, This Louis resolutely refused to do. They were, he said not his. The Sultan threatened—the Sultan might do what he pleased. At length Louis was set free upon pay. ing a ransom equal to more than £4oo,ooo—an enormous sum at that time. Louis's companions were for returning to France; but be resolved to visit Palestine, in the hope of recovering the Holy Sepulchre from the Paynim. Perhaps nothing so strongly displays the uprightness and the integrity of this sovereign as an incident which happened to him in the Holy Land. The Sultan of Aleppo and Damascus, who was then at war with the Sultan of Egypt, offered to restore to Louis the king. dom of Jerusalem, provided he would assist him against his enemy. The temptation must have been very strong; the rescue of the Holy Sepulchre was the brightest dream, the dearest wish, of all true Christians at that time, and the realisation now seemed within Louis's grasp. But Louis had, on being released, engaged to keep a ten years' truce with the Sultan of Egypt. The time had not yet arrived for the promulgation of the detest able doctrine, "no faith with heretics." The Christian saint resisted the temptation. His only reward was that of a good conscience. News came of the death of his mother, who was Regent during his absence, and this was followed by letters urgently desiring his return. He complied, and re-entered his kingdom after six years absence. But still he had not abandoned his project. It acquired additional strength, for the tidings came to the effect that the King of Tunis contem plated embracing Christianity. On March 10, 1270, sixteen years after his return from his first expedition, he set out upon his second. Before he reached Tunis be was seized with fever, and by the time that be arrived there he was so reduced by it that very little of life remained in him. Pawl:.... 4d STAMPED sd.

A BSOLUTE 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 oh ; jection not unfrequently urged by p ersons i nv it e d t o 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 Unforfeitablo, 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 ape ' 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 fame time it absolutely guarantees at d3cease, 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 enuring 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 Wiled 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 objectinna before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Poljcies 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 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 class as security, may always know the utmost. amount they may he called upon to advance so as to m.tit.tain the full la‘nefit of the ' Assttrat,z..es—a matter of greet importance where policies are 101 l as rellateral security. It is gully nevee,sory to add that, OR zi consequence of the policies antler these t:thlos tH lug tinforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unehallengoahle on any preund whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Pidiei , s.

"On the night of the 24th of August, he started up several times in his bed, and called out, Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! We will go t o J erusa l em At last he ceased to speak, although he shewed that he was in full possession of his faculties, and in sym pathy with, and conscious of, the friends who surrounded him and the priests who brought him religious consola tion. By his desire he received extreme unction at the foot of his bed, extended upon a coarse sack, covered, with ashes, and with the cross before him. On Monday, the 20th of August, 1270, about three o'clock i n th e after noon, he expired peacefully. His last words were Father, after the example of the Divine Master, into thy hands t commend my spirit." Calvin lived almost exactly three centuries after St.. Louis, and for exactly the same number of years, both. being 55 at their death. The details of the Reformer's career are better known than those of the King's. We will, therefore, confine ourselves to that one incident of Calvin's life which has darkened his memory. 31. Guizot is a fer vent admirer of the famous Frenchman, and while too judicial to undertake the now common process of white washing, he has clearly done his best to remove from Calvin's reputation that one black spot which made us say that lie was deficient in the most essential element of Christianity—charity. Of Calvin's controversy with the "Libertines" we say nothing, except that he was fur the most part in the right, and never more so than when he resisted the civil authority in its claim to decide who were fit persons to receive the Holy Communion. This was a fair, stand-up fight, and the better of the two combatants won. But the fight with Servetus was not fair. This Spanish heretic, for heretic he undoubtedly was, held the doctrines of Pantheism. He attempted to draw Calvin into a written controversy, but Calvin declined with words of contempt and that pious arrogance which is so exasperating to the object of it. Servetus, then living at Vienne, published a book full of hetero doxy called , "The Restoration of Christianity." The Roman Catholics had lately been accusing the Reformers of being without discipline and sanctioning the most un bridled licence. This book, written by one who was still nominally a Catholic, and published under the very eye of a bishop, gave the Reformers an opportunity of retaliating,. The result was that Servetus was summoned to answer: for having written this book. He was a weak man, and he denied his authorship. Thereupon Calvin sent, for• the use of the Roman Catholic authorities, some private letters which Servetus had written to him in confidence, and which contained the very heresies set forth in the volume. Of course Calvin knew well enough that he, a Protestant, and, as such, claiming the right of private judgment, was preparing for one who exercised that right destruction at the hand of a Church which denied it. The doom of Servetus was the stake. Yet it was not the Inquisitors, but the Reformer, who was to execute that doom. Servetus escaped from Vienne, and, by a strange infatuation, took up his abode at Geneva. Calvin turned prosecutor, and Servetus was brought to trial. He had weakly denied his opinions before; he boldly contended for them now. Ho offered to dispute with Calvin even on such unequal terms as those which must always exist when the one party is in the power of the other. Servetus openly announced his Pantheistic opinions. Calvin called, him " Wretch !" by way of reply. The end of it was that, after about two-and-a-half months' trial, Servetus was condemned to be burnt, as he had been condemned, at Vienne, on both occasions through the hostility of Calvin. The doomed man, heretic though he was, sent for his perse cutor to ask for his forgiveness for any harsh words that he had said of him. Calvin, orthodox Reformer though be was; overwhelmed the man he had ruined with reproaches and with Pharisaical talk. " Servetus was willing . to ask pardon, but would not disavow his opinions. Even in the depths of his despair he preserved all the pride of honest conviction ; and although he entreated that his life might be spared, he would not consent to dishonour it by a false recantation. . . . The dignity of the philosopher trembled over the weakness of the man, and Servetus died heroically and calmly at the stake, the very thought of which had at first filled him ith terror." Calvin died in his bed, and all Geneva came to take farewell of him. Yet if we were asked which of the two displayed more of the spirit of Christianity at his end, Pantheistic Servetus or Predestination Calvin, it is cer tainly not the name of 'the latter that we should mention by way of reply.

A conference was held on Thursday of gentlemen in, Leeds who take a prominent part in the social welfare of the people, and who are anxious to promote an amendment of the licensing system. The epechtl object was to meet a deputation from the Licenses-Amendment League recently formed at Manchester, and Dr. Martin and Dr. Bell, of Goole, explained the amendments which the LeagotiQr to obtain in the liquor laws. The Mayor, Mr. 15 Lupton, and other gentlemen, spoke, suggesting that a more simple scheme than that sketched by the deputation was more likely to be accepted by the. Legislature, and resolutions were passed recommending that in any amendment of the law the magistrates Should be the sole authority to grant licences; . subject .tc;--a - vetoing rower. by tiae.rate.payers as represented by Town Councils ; and that the decision of the ' magistrates should bo final.
