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 tho 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 both 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.

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 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 are loss 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 littl e more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows :-- DR. LIABILITIES.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ex FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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. F cl o ie many persons hesitate or de to, that, in the e v en t o f n r in ability or unwillingness to conti nue payment o f their pre miums, the Assurance will beco me f or f e i te d . T o t hi s tthoe assure reason o referred e f t e h r e r e ground class of the public 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 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 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, 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 I. , ngest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others bolding 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 whore 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 unchallongeable on any ground whatever. They may t h ere f ore be aptly termed Ab so l u t e Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income o f £215,000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new , business of any office in the Kingdom.

On the other hand, the Income was raised to £2t9,769, notwithstanding that its i ncrease was re t ar d e d b y abatements of premium whi c h did not take effect in the p and by th e cessa ti on o f i n t eres t on the la r r e g v e i previous year, sum paid as Bonus i n 1867. 4.

The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young women and girls-. It was compelled to refuse 624 appli cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

CWIIII 4 , poc, Qmourotreet glieweide. ~~~ c~ METROPOLITAN GOSSlP.—lhursday. Of pure politics I have little to tell to-clay. The goes tion, What will the Lords do? is still asked on all hands, and still unanswered. It is, perhaps, not too much to say that the Lords themselves cannot answer it. They wait to see what will turn up in the Commons. There the only immediate prospect of serious opposition i is on the Maynooth clause, which the ultra-Protestant I party will do their utmost to defeat. As I have said before, Mr. Spofforth is very eager to exploiter• this oppo. sition to the advantage of the Conservative party ; but he finds resistance among some of the High Churchmen, who have an intense repugnance to be dragged through the dirt at the heels of Mr. Aytoun. One member for an astern constituency, who won a seat from the Liberals at the last election, and whose brother is in Roman. orders, has protested against any such manoeuvre. The Nonconformist journals generally are silent on this point, and, apparently, have not yet made up their minds. But Lord Oranmore's appeal to them not to suffer the Church funds to go to hospitals and asylums, because those institutions are denominational," has been received with sarcastic derision Lord Stanley is the political syhynx of the day. Every body is trying to read the riddle of his creed, and cannot do so. It was noticed that be was absent from the House during the whole of the debates on the Irish Church, except for about an hour. That hour was spent in listening, not to his leader's paradoxes or to Mr. Hardy's bold defiance, but to Sir Roundell Palmer's very able and subtle criticisms on the Government mea sure. Of course all the world knows that Lord Stanley does not believe in the Irish Church ; but then he does not mean to follow his convictions to their logical conclu sion, because he means to succeed his father not on'sy in the earldom, but in the leadership of the Conservative party. The deficit in the revenue is not quite so great as was at one time expected. The amount is under two millions, and there will, therefore, be no need of any rigorous financial measures. A continuance of the income tax: at 6d. will, thanks to the extensive economies effected lig the Government, probably meet the case. Next week will be the great week for private views of the various artists' studios before their works are sent to the Academy. On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Ward chew their pictures at Kent Villa, Kensington ; on the same and the following day, Mr. Sydney Hodges shews his at Ber ners-street. The latter gentleman has a group in hand of the Princess Mary of Teck and her children, which will not, however, he finished in time for this year's exhibition. He will, I believe, send his full length portrait of the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is quito the best work he has yet painted, and represents the Archbishop standing in front of St. Augustine's Chair in Canterbury Cathedral, and wearing the robes and black satin train used at the recent enthronement. Everybody will soon be talking of Mr. Leighton's diploma picture of " St. Jerome in the Desert with his Lion." The beast, though obedient to the Saint, is rough and shaggy as in the natural state, not of the sleek type which visitors to the Zoological Gardens know best. Mr. Weigall (who lately made so distinguished a marriage) is sending to the Academy an interesting group of the Smith-Barry family. The private view of the Society of British Artists is on Monday. The literary world is shewing signs of fresh life, after a rather prolonged hybernation. This week Mr. Lecky's new work appears. The miscellaneous poems of the late Mr. Keble are out; so are Mr. Reginald Palgrave's Lec tures on the House of Commons, and Sermons by the Rev. J. Llewellyn Davies, on the Gospel and Modern Life, with a preface on the theology of the Pall Mall Gazette, which will have a special interest for Mr. Davies's own congregation for reasons which I will not mention here. Among the books promised is a "Handbook of Contemporary Biography," by Mr. Frederick Martin, compiler of the " Statesman's Year Book." I trust the new work will be more accurate than " Men of the Time." Mr. Rotten is publishing a subscription edition of Daniel Defoe's life and uncollected works, com prising several hundred important essays, pamphlets, and other writings now brought to light for the first time by Mr. William Lee. Mr. Bertrand Payne, who was for many years " Moxon and C 0.," having retired from the firm, his successor, young Mr. Moxon, is shewing conside rable vigour, and is bringing out, in shilling volumes, the poems of Thomas Hood. Mr. Charles Reade's new novel, " Put Yourself in His Place," is appearing simultaneously in the Cornhill and in the Galaxy, an American magazine. Mrs. Stowe's new novel, " Old Town Folks," will be published in London on May 15. The author of " Doubles and Quits," in Blackwood, is Captain Lawrence Lockhart ; the article in the North British Review on the Reorganisation of Germany, is, I believe, by Mr. Grant D uff,Under-Seeretary of State for India. The extravagantly eulogistic article on Robert Browning, in the last number of the Athena um, is said to be by Mr. Robert Buchanan. It is not often that one poet praises another thus. In the next number of Macmillan, a new story, " A Brave Lady," will be commenced by the authoress of " John Halifax." Another fact, partly literary, partly political, is that in all probability Mr. Reverdy Johnson will be succeeded (assuming that he is recalled) by Mr. Motley, the historian. Finally, I may mention that the purchasers of Lamartine's works, who bought them some time ago for the benefit of the poet, find them selves by the poet's death in possession of a valuable pro perty, and that a meeting is to be held in Paris on April 18, to consider what is the best way of dealing with the copyright. In theatrical matters the most noticeable event is the opening of the Opera on Tuesday. The piece chosen was " Norma," and Mongini, Tietjens, Sinico, and other great stars appeared. "Fidelio " will be produced on Saturday. Paul Bedford, who hasretired from the stage, had a benefit at the Holborn last night, when the " Wandering Thes pians" came out. Mr. Robertson's new play is unfavourably criticised. A new company of musicians has been started lately— " the Gillespie Band, or Inter-University Comic Band." The band includes Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Gatty, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Hamilton, and other gentlemen. Their first concert takes place to-night at the Hanover-square Rooms, and the proceeds will be devoted to the improvement of the Cam, so that the Oxonians are generously assisting their antagonists in the endeavour to beat them at the University Boat Race. A new society, called the " Excelsior Public-house Association," has just been started. Its object is to pro mote the establishment ot public-houses without intoxicating drinks. Each club will contain a refreshment-room, a lecture room, and a room for clubs and classes, available for public use. Among the promoters are General Sir George Laurence, Dr. Gladstone (the unsuccessful candi date at York), and Mr. Maguire, vicar of Clerkenwell. One of the finest old mansions in London, Fife House, has just disappeared. It was situated on the bank of the Thames at Whitehall, and was remarkable for one cir cumstance connected with its history. The late Earl of Fife—the friend of Sir Walter Scott—being resolved that even when in London he would always walk on Scottish soil, sent the gravel and loam for the garden at Fife House by barges up from Scotland at a cost, it is said, of nearly £20,000. DuNviLLE and Cc., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is re commended by the medical profession in preference to French Brandy. Supplied in casks and cases for home use or eXporta tion. Quotations on application 'to .Messrs. Dunville and Co., Belfast; er 4, Beaufort-buildings, Strand, London, W.O -.—[Ad vs rtisement. Judge Hoar is the third Attorney-General from Massachusetts. Levi Lincoln (father of the Governor) served in Jefferson's Cabinet during his first term, and Caleb Cushing was Attorney-General through the Presi dency of Franklin Pierc3. Theophilus Parsons was in vited to the position by John Adams, but declined. Among the applicants for Postmaster at Wash ington City is Mrs. Josephine S. Griffing, a prominent ad vocate of female suffrage, and a petition is circulating for signatures with a view to secure the appointment. Shakspeare is full of anachronisms of literature and art. In the Comedy of Errors ho alludes to ducats, marks, and guilders, and also to the striking of a clock in the ancient city of Ephesus. In King John and Macbeth he speaks of cannon. lie makes Coriolanus a cotemporary with Alexander the Great, Cato, and Galen, all of whom lived centuries afterwards. Cassius, in Julius Caesar, also speaks of a clock striking the hours. Beaumont and Fletcher make a man dis tchheargCehri n asti `llia must pain t e r h s av d e o lnivoetd behave]ong mbeforeueh better. In one of Albert Durer's pi ctures representing St. A Dutch • painter, back-ground smoking a tobacco pra-o, Isaac, makes Abraham Peter denying the Saviour, there is . a Roman soldier in the in the painting of the Sacrifice of I obedience. Tintoret paints the Israelites gathering manna point a blunderbuss at his son's head as an argument . a k a ; in the wilderness as carrying guns. Another master, in a picture of Adam and Eve, places a German student in the back-ground shooting ducks. SCIENCE ANO ART.—A striking instance of the immense value a small piece of steel may acquire by the great power of skilled mechanical labour is the balance-spring of a watch. From its extreme tinene,s and delicacy 4,000 weigh not more than one ounce, and exceed in value 11,000. A most interesting little work, describing the rise and progress of watchmakin has been published by J. W. Benson, 25, Old Bond-street, and the City. Steam Factory, 53 and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices Mr. Benson (who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales) has also published a pamphlet on Artistic GoldJevcollery, illustrated with the most beautiful designs of Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, Lockets, &c., &c., suitable for Wedding, Birthday, and other presents. These pamphlets are sent post free for two stamps each, and they can not bo too strongly recommended to those contemplating a pur chase, especially to residents in the country or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article they may require and have it tstrinrcloci wits perfect eitetY.
