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 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 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 5,1 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

To this class of the pul lie 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 pentium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ono greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend ►tself 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. By 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 1- ngest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this clriss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may he called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies era held as collateral security. It is only necos,:ary to add that. as dennsequeneo of the policies under these tables !wing unferfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be ueel,ll.,g-able on any vronnd whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security PolicicQ.

Secretary. ll .-C.-----_--_.--_..-e., C- FOREIGN NOTES, THE ANTI-MINER REACTION. More testimonyto the unexpected effect producedby Mr. Sumner's speech continues to arrive. The senator, in fact, has unconsciously burlesqued the attitude of his country on the Alabama question. The present reaction is perhaps owing solely to the fact that Mr. Sumner, in extending the American demands to the last extremity of extrava= gance, has unintentionally held them up to ridicule. The New York Times, as will be seen from onr telegrams, persis. tently writes in favour of an immediate, pacific,and moderate settlement. It even goes so far as to hint that Mr. Revcrdy Johnson, after all, deserves in some measure the gratitude of his countrymen. "One thing is incontestable, namely, that Mr. Rev er dy Johnso n succee d e d i n d o i ng what no other American has done, and that is in putting the American view of the Alabama claims before the British people as a whole, in a most adroit, persuasive, and effective way. We may object to his hand-and-glove interviews with Laird and Roebuck, but we cannot dispute that he succeeded in appealing to large audiences of Englishmen from one end of England to the other to pay the Alabama damages. Nor were these audiences few, but very many, literally. scores ; not confined to one class, but embracing all classes ; not in one locality, but in all localities ; and from the London club-men to the cutlers, the straw-plaiters, the workin g men ' a ll over England. That lie aroused a favourable popular sentiment, what ever his failure with the British. Government, is evident from many proposed concessions in the British public press, far outrunning the actual policy of the Government. If this work prove of advantage to iis in future, to so much counterbalancing credit the retiring Minister will be entitled." It would be interesting to know what Mr. Sumner now thinks of his famous performance. Dr. Woolsey, a very high authorityon International Law, has been lecturing on the Alabama question at Yale College. Ire holds that the Alabama left Liverpool in a very illegal way, and in violation of international law, and that a claim for damages could not be refused mikes it were shown that all possible care was taken to prevent her departure. But Mr. Sumner's demand of some three hundred millions he treats with ridicule. NEUTRALITY OF THE SUEZ CANAL. An important telegram reaches us from Berlin a propos of the rumours respecting the neutrality of the Sues Canal. It is confidently stated that Austria, who was supposed to have taken the initiative in negotiating for the guarantee of neutrality, will do nothing without the co-operation of France. As France has constituted the canal, its Govern ment is not supposed to be specially interested about its neutrality. The Patrie says it is certain that naval squadrons will be sent to assist at the opening of the Suez Canal by France, England, Austria, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. Ironclads, however, cannot go, for their great draught would prevent them entering the canal. THE THRONE OF SPAIN. Another candidate has been put forward for regal honours in Spain. The Paris correspondent of the Indipenciance Belge, usually well informed, says that Prim, Serrano, and Topete have definitely agreed to recommend the young Duke of Genoa to the Cortes. They have obtained the consent of the King of Italy. The Italian Prince will be about 16 years of age when he becomes King, and his majority will, therefore, be preceded by a regency of two years. LIBERALISM IN RUSSIA. The Constitutionnel notes another step in advance con• templated by the Russian Government. This is no less than the establishment of local government. The Minister of the Interior is now occupied with a project of law for the institution of elective municipal councils in the cities of the Russian Empire, Poland being excepted. A more important change could hardly be made. Hitherto local government has been carried on exclusively by func tionaries nominated at St. Petersburg. COUNT BISMARCK. The Prussian Chancellor continues in very indifferent health. The North German Correspondent is happy to an• nounce that " Count Bismarck has so far recovered his health as to be able in favourable weather to walk in his park, supported by a stick." This is not a particularly encouraging bulletin. THE QUEEN OP PORTUGAL. The Dihats says that the health of the young Queen of Portugal is so gravely affected that little hope can be en tertained of her recovery. The poor lady is so feeble that the journey to Italy, ordered by the physicians, has been of necessity abandoned. Queen Pia is the youngest daughter of King Victor Emmanuel, and was born October 16, 1847. NAVIGATION OP THE DANUBE. The works executed at the month of the Danube in virtue of the fifteenth and following articles of the Treaty of Paris have been attended with good result. A great increase of commerce has been the direct consequence of the improvements undertaken by the Treaty Powers. As many as sixty vessels of different nations may be found in the port of Snlina at one time. FRENCU MEMBERS OF FATILTAMENT. A member of the French Corps L6gislatif has neither the power nor the influence which appertains to a member of the British House of Commons ; but in some respects he is much better off than the representative of an English constituency. His election expenses are much smaller. For the City of Paris a candidate can print and post all the necessary adiresse; adveztise, hire rooms for public meeting; and cover his rostnge stamps with al;out £4OO. In a country constituency this sum is increased one-half. What proportion this cost bears to the expenses of a candidate in England we need not say. Then the M.P., to support his position, is compelled to largely increase Lis yearly expen diture. The French deputy, on the other hand, makes money by his seat. He receives as salary £lOO per month during the session, and he lives in a modest lodging, cr with his friends, and dines at a cafe. "He has not much correspondence with his constituents; he has no bills to bring forward ; and a centralised system of Govern ment relieves him from almost all local work." ENGAGEMENTS IN CUBA. The Cuban intelligence in the New York papers shew that the Spaniards have received a very severe check in the neighbourhood of Puerto Principe. The loss of the Spaniards is put down at 1,000 men killed and wounded, who were left in the hands of the Cubans. The patriot forces captured two cars laden with provisions, arms, and ammunition. During the battle 400 negro troops in the Spanish service shot their officers and went over to the Cubans. It is stated that a strong band of filibusters had landed on the coast and had licen defeated. Both sides are committing horrible atrocities, and each charges the other with setting the first example. THE E3IIGILINTS IN CANADA. The Rev. J. F. Kitto announces that the most satisfac tory accounts have been received of the emigrants recently ocnt out to Canada by Government and private indivi duals. Their behaviour during the passage was uniformly good. When they reached port they soon found employment. "On the whole nothing can be more favourable than then several accounts, coming from so many different quarters. Our emigrants have been welcomed and provided for— swallowed up in the inexhaustible demand for labour in the Dominion. The committee of the British and Colonial Emigration Fund can have no cause to regret that they acted upon the representations made to them on this head." Wby then, continues Mr. Kitto, should the assistance of the Crocodile. transport have been withdrawn when hundreds would go out if they were able? Beyond doubt there is abundant room in Canada both for working men and capitalists. There has recently been some change in the arrangement of the officers of the Pennsylvania Railro td Company. Mr. J. Edgar Thompson is still at the head the company. The Vice-Presidents have been increased to four, namely:—Colonel T. A. Scott, H. J. Lombaert Edmund Smith (late Secretary), cad George B. Roberts. Joseph Lesley has been appointed Secretary; W. J. HowarA, General Solicitor; Theodore Cuyler, General Counsel ; and Major Firth is still continued as Treasurer. ECONOMY INFUEL.—Mr.Johnson, of Saco, Maine, has invented an apparatus by which apartments can bo heated, or a fire prepared, in a few minutes, for cooking food, which, while insuring the utmost economy, preserves a salubrious atmosphere. Mr. Johnson's heater consists of au air-tight sheet-iron cylinder, with tubes passing through it from top to bottom, open at both ends. The bottom of this cylinder is cup-shaped, so as to hold in its centre a small quantity of water ; while under neath the same is placed a gas jet. The water is put into the cup of the cylinder, which is then closed steam tight. The amount employed is just enough to fill the cylinder with steam, at fifteen pounds (atmo spheric pressure). In a small cylinder this would not ex ceed one or two tablespoonsful. The water is put in when the cylinder is made, and is therefore constant; so that all required is to light the gas, when the cylinder is quickly filled with hot steam, which, as fast as condensed by radiation, is returned to the cup to be again converted it h e application of the tubes a large heat nn g t surface o steam.B is y obtained, and the whole arrangement is such as to economize the heat to the utmost ex• tent. An ingenious contrivance self-regulates the admission and exit of air from the cylinder to make room for the steam, and return the air when the condensation of the steam creates a vacuum which is required to be filled The whole apparatus is as simple and safe as a teakettle. 'The kind of warmth generated is peculiarly soft and healthful, while the cost is reduced to a minimum, espe cially where cheap gas can bo obtained. The exhibition room of this invention is in Broadway, and If it performs all it is claimed to do it will prove a blessing to the poor.
