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 ex t raneous 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 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR.

()OPER Sao. cluten-fit 02eapeide., A 13SOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L 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 ob jection not unfrequently 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 conditions, have resolved to promulgate 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 assuro 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 11:0 - system now introducedwill o•pe 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 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 es 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 flie:dsum 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 one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, end 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 advantatres, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The -1 ngest 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 be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be uncballengeable on any pround whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL) ASSURANCE COMPANY pos esses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 Fire Association, under the auspices 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 beta institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

(From the Anglo -American 2 imes.) The Spirit, in alluding to the yacht Dauntless, after she had left New York for Europe, said : "lint we do not look for a fast passage over to the oast ward this time, as easterly winds have prevailed on the Atlantic Ocean to an extraordinary extent." Mr. Wilkes, who has himself arrived, or will im rn:diately, will be surprised to learn, as were we and most others, what the passage of the Dauntless really was, for n otwithstanding very heavy weather during the whole way across (perhaps aided by it) she arrived at Queenstown on Sunday, at 2.30 p.mt- 1 making the run, from New York to Queenstown, in 12 days 17 hours 6 minutes 12 seconds, and beating the time of the llenvietta in her famous ocean race with the Ffretwing and Vesta. She measures, ac cording to the new standard over 126 tons, and left New York provisioned for 50 days. The Spirit says of her, " a finer schooner we never looked at, so far as appearance goes ;" adding, " we think the altera tions made in her by Mr. Bennett are improve ments." It hopes the Cambria will accept the challenge to try an ocean race this fall, believing that she would have as good a chance as if twice as large. The Sprit does nit mean this in joke, though we believe it might really so be said, for we doubt whether England possesses a yacht that could look for victory over the Dauntless in au ocean race. The defeats suffered by the Cambria this spring the Spirit regards as of little moment, as being confined to the lower reaches of the litanies, where the small yachts had the best of it, and across the Channel, when there was little or no wind. The Round Table has an amusing article on the "press-gang afloat," referring to the re porters, whose accounts of the regatta it severely criticises, concluding thus : " A bBitonten! It is clear that we cannot just rival Lon don journalists in descriptive sea-pieces. Yet would the London Cockneys be extremely unwise to conclude that consequently' we cannot rival them in aquatic sports. We would neither boast nor predict ; but it is by no meats beyond possibility that what the America did in 1851 may be done by the in 1869." We suspect that George Wilkes has crossed to act as his own reporter, and as he is a brilliant writer the American press will get full and fair accounts at least from his pen. The Harvard boat and crew left New York last Saturday in the City of Paris for Liverpool. They trained on the Charles River course, and were to have entered to contest the annual Boston City Re gatta on the sth inst, leaving Boston for New York on the 7th. Their captain, Loring, thus replied to the invitation of the Cork Harbour Rowing Clubs to take part in the Gleubrook Regatta, Cork, on the 10th and 11th August, in the following letter, dated Harvard University, June 28, 1869 : Dear Sir,—lu reply to your favour of the Ist inst., in viting our men to take part in the Glenbrook regatta of the 10th and 11th of August, I am instructed to say that as the time for our races with Oxford and Cambridge Universities follows so closely the dates you name, we fear that we shad not be able to do as you request. Our object from the beginning has been chiefly to test the relative merits of the rowing at the universities of Great Britain and this country, and our stlty abroad is of ne cessity so liniit73d that we hardly deem it prudent to undertake additional work. However, should we find, after arriving in England, that we can without serious in convenience accept your polite proposal, it will give us much pleasure to do so. I have the honour to be, sir, yours, &c., A. P. LoRING, Capt. 11. U. B. C. Harvard is overflowing with invitations to inter national contests. John Magregor, Captain of the " Canoe Club," has issued a challenge to America for a match upon the Thames, and Captain Loring has published his letter inviting arrangements. "No. 1, Mitre-court-building-s, Temple, London, Juno 14, 1869. ." Sir,—Wo are requested by the Committee of the . Canoe Club to inform you that they propose to have an interna tional canoe race upon the Thames, within a few days after the four-oar match. By the printed list of our club, sent by this mail, you will sae that we have nearly 200 members, and that the Peinco of Wales is Commodore. There are also bran hes of the club at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The committee will be exceed ingly obliged if you can arrange to send a 'canoeist' to represent the United States on that occasion. The Pa; is Boat Club will be invited to send another from France, where we have one member of our club, the Prince impe rial. We are al<o inviting a representation fro.n the Do minion of Canada, and one will be ready from Great B:-i -t. Liu. The course will be two miles in length, in fair water, probably Rear Ilampton Court, and suitable for the lightest craft. Any canoe whatever may be used, pro pelled by one man. We are empowered to state that our members will send the best canoe they can prov:de for the competition from the United States, if he pr lets not to bring his own, and we need scarcely add that we shall be happy to give him a hospitable reception. A mem( tato of the match as ill be presented to the winner by the club, but ho will doubtless chiefly prize the honour of being 'the fastest c tnoeist in the world.' We venture to hope that you will take such steps as may seem advisable to send a competition from your country to contend for this honour, and we shall be further obliged if you can send a reply at your earliest convenience to this friendly challenge.—We have the honour to remain your obedient servants, "Jens 11.aoitEoolt, Captain." THE EXHIBITION AT A3ISTERDA3S. British exhibitors muster in very considerable force at he Industrial Show of Holland. They are above 200 in lumber. For once British administration has outshone that of continental nations ; our department was ready first, and consequently is at present the most attractive sight in the Amsterdam Crystal Palace. Though the Exhibition is almost wholly of domestic industry, some splendid trophies are arranged out of these comparatively humble materials. That of Messrs. Dodge, of Sheffield, is of surprising splendour. "It is of colossal proportions, and presents such a multitude of Sheffield manufactures as takes away the breath of the rough labouring Dutch man, who gazes in silence on these tremendous circluar saws, straight saws, curved saws, saws with gilded handles, knives of all conceivable size and shape, scissors big enough to cut a shawl in two, and little enough, with gold handles, to hang upon a watchchain, drills, scoops, punches, razors, useful and de luxe ; and, in fact, every thing that can possibly be' contrived out of steel. On the opening day it was some time before the Prince's proces sion left this splendid illustration of English industry." }To machinery at work is allowed in the building. DEMOCRATIC POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES. The Democrats of Ohio have passed a resolution in favour of paying the debt in greenbacks —a foolish revival of a settled and worn-out question, which is likely to do them infinite harm. It was bad policy on the part of some of the Republicans to attempt to get up a cry for war with England, but it is scarcely less unwise to drag Repudiation from its well-merited grave. On the other hand, the Ohio Democrats have shewn themselves far sighted in denouncing the Protective system. They have passed a resolution calling for the closest possible approxi mation to Free Trade. AERIAL NAVIGATION. The Californian journals have of late caused boundless excitement amongst their American contemporaries by wonderful stories of a flying machine. According to these papers, the problem of navigating the air is finally solved. A machine has been constructed which is capable of being guided though the air in whatever direction its " crew" choose to take it. The San Francisco News Letter says that within a few days " the first aerial steam carriage, capable of conveying six persons, and propelled at a rate exceeding the minimum speed of thirty miles an hour, will wing its flight over the Sierra Nevada to New York and other remote parts." Without being too incredulous, we may remark that all attempts to learn the nature of this machine or the results of the experiments with it have proved vain.
