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 source; 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: DR. LIABILITIES.

General Sherman and family left St. Louis, on the 27th January, for New Orleans, and General Sheridan was daily expected to return to that city from the Plains. This looks like the end of the war, as nearly all the Indians will go on the reser vation set apart for them. The main body of the troops will soon be withdrawn from the Plains, and will concentrate at Fort Leavenworth for distribu tion at other points. The latest despatches re ceived were from Generals Sheridan and Hazen, dated from Fort Cobb, Dec. 31, 1868. They re ported the operations of a column from Fort Bas com, under command of Brevet Lieutenant-. Colonel A. W. Evan, 3d Cavalry. Sheridan says :—"lt left Bascom, Nov. 17, established its depot on the Main Canadian, at the mouth of Monument Creek, east from Bascom 185 miles. From this depot, on the 7th of December, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel A. W. Evans marched with a detachment of Com panies, A, C, D, F, G, and I, 3d Cavalry, and Com pany I, 37th Infantry—travelling in the direction of the Antelope Hills. On reaching a point 'near Kiowa Creek, 31 miles east of the depot, a trail of about 50 lodges of Cheyenne Indians was struck, which was. followed over to the North Fork of Red River, and thence down that stream, the trail con stantly increasicg, until it became very large. The trail was hotly pursued, the Indians abandoning their surplus property, until it led into a canon near the junction of Elm Creek and the Salt Fork of Red River, when Colonel Evans made a detour to pass around the canon into which the trail led, and which brought him at noon of Christmas Day into a large village of Comanches of 60 lodges, just south of the junction of Salt Fork with Elm Creek, which was totally burned. The Indians attacked his advance, but.were driven from the village, with the loss of everything it contained, the women and children escaping on the horses of the warriors, in some cases as many as four on one horse. The vil lage was very rich, containing over five tons of dried buffalo meat, 100 bushels of corn, also flour, meal, coffee, sugar, soap, cooking utensils, mats, robes, &c. The Indians kept up fighting during the day and the next morning, but there was not much fight in them. Three enlisted men were wounded, one mortally. The number of Indians killed is unknown. Colonel Evans took the main trail again on the 26th, which led west, but being out of provisions, except beef, had to give it up. The greatest praise is due to Colonel Evans and his command. It marched twenty-four days in snow, rain, and intensely cold weather, without tents of any kind, and finally struck this effective and heavy blow. I had known through Gen. Hazen and the Indians of this marauding village. It was composed mostly of individuals from the tribe of Comanches located here, who had reported them to me after my arrival, fearing they might be im plicated in their murdering and thieving expedi tions on the fr-mtier settlements of Texas. I can assure the General that he need not expect a continuance of murders and robberies from the Indians in my department hereafter, if one can : j udge from the demoralization which this winter's campaign has produced among them. The weather has been very bad, with snow, rain, and intense cold." The Indian Commissioner, General Hazen thus replies to the animadversions on the destruction of Black Kettle's band : —" I notice that the papers are stating that Black Kettle's camp, destroyed by Custer, were peaceable Indians on their way to their reservation. In his talk with me some five or six days before he was killed, Black Kettle stated that many of his men were then on the war pat h, and that his people did the A r Arkansas. s t a h s e . in this Toiltso Solomon, oinit, people a p n e weread cet the i r t t rh la re e t n l s i e e re yn people agtaigo ne da was i Inv note t trouble sec tion of country at all." whose arrival in N a ples we Philadelphia Public Ledger, k has marked his visit to Rome by the Mr. George W.

He has recently given two dinners, at which Mr. Longfellow, the A mer i can Poet, many of his personal friends, a n d several dis tinguished American artists were present. We do not mention names, as the entertainments were of a private character. The resources of the Hotel de l'Europe were taxed to their utmost, and the result was magnificent. The decorations consisted largely of flowers, which covered the sides of the staircase from the ground floor of the hotel to the third storey, where the dinner was served. The dining-room, which was one mass of flowers and blaze of light, was arranged in the most tasteful mnnner. The cost of one entertainment for twenty. seven persons was not less than 17,500 fr., and of this amount 1,500 f. were spent DTI the flowers.—Naples and Flcrence Observer. The Rev.
