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 both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to.them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30T11 JUTE, I°6B.

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 ls. 9d. and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. — The claims on decease of lives assured aro 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 2.1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officesbust absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cont. on the total income. Tho balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILMES.

The news from Canada shears that the newly-constituted 'Dominion is rapidly obtaining. a local habitation and a name. Province after province joins the Confederation, difficulty after difficulty disappears. It is more than doubtful how fax this result would have been accomplished but for the assistance of the English Government, and it is gratifying to learn that the willing ness of the old country to promote the work of union has had the best effect in the colony. Never were the rela tions between the two countries on a better footing. The Times correspondent says there is some talk about inde pendence, but it is clearly seen by the great majority that it is nareely prudent for Canada to have that thrust upon her which she is not in a position to maintain. The Cana dians generally are anxious that a firm stand should be taken by England in the matter of the Alabama claims, and, " wha'.ever may be the issue, Canada will bear her full share." THE lIEDSON'S BAT TERRITORY. The Parliament at Ottawa lost no time in passing, reso lutions respecting the acquisition of the North-West Ter ritory. Sonic objection was taken to the bargain which, it will be remember d, was made with the Hudson's Bay Company through Earl Cranville's mediation; but the non•contentss were few, for an amendment embodying their objection was defeated by .a majority of 106. In fact, the Canadians are very glad that this troublesome difficulty with the Hudson's Bay Company has been settled, for they foresaw that delay would be dangerous. The American State of Minnesota is pushing on a new railroad to the Red River. ANOTHER CANDIDATE 'OR SPAIN. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says that another candidate has been found for the throne which is now semi-filled by Regent Serrano. This new discovery is Don Henry of Bourbon, son of the Duke of Cadiz, a prince who has attained the ripe and staid age of 46. There is much to be said in favour of Don Henry ; for it is a great fact that he has twice sub mitted to confiscation and banishment, rather than support the despotic acts of the lady who is now ruminating in PariS on the atrocious Liberalism of the time& Don Henry seems a good representative of the Liberal party COUNT VON GOLTZ. Count von Goltz has succumbed at last. He was born in 1817, and was appointed Prussian Ambassador at Paris in January 1863. His duty at the French capital —one of the most trying that has fallen to any ambassador of modern times—was well performed. He was popular, and respectedby the Emperor and the Empress, even when the relations between the two States were at their greatest tension. A less able representative might readily have in volved Europe in war. Unfortunately, at the time when difficulty and danger seemed almost past, Count Goltz was deprived of the enjoyment of that credit which properly belonged to him. A cancer made such alarming progress that the Count was obliged to retire from Paris to Charlottenberg, where, after months of torture, and after being subjected to endless quackery, he has died. King William declined to appoint another ambassador during his life, and the business at Paris has been done by that able charge daffaircs, Count von Sohns. AFFAIRS IN SERVIA. Servia seems to jog on pretty well under the Regency which was established after the assassination of Prince Michael. By a special telegram we learn that the Skuptschina, or Parliament, has been opened, and that the deputies are to apply their energies to the reform of the Constitution. When will the Constitutions of the European States be complete? The taste for tinkering at them has become a complete mania. There is scarcely a State in Europe which has not alteredits form of Govern. ment within the last two or three years. The facility with which great constitutional changes are effected now-a-days is one of the most remarkable characteristics of the age. , WHAT'S IN A FLAG? Things of apparently small moment often involve dill cult complications of national sentiment. For instance, Austria and Hungary have now been united on equal terms ; each is a separate State for domestic purposes, and each enjoys in the common affairs of the empire an influence proportionate to its importance. But it has been deemed necessary, in order to com plete in appearance a reform which was thoroughly complete in reality, that the old Austrian flag should be abandoned, and anew one, bearing the arms of the two countries, be substituted. This point gave rise to some trouble. The Austrian Ministry at first proposed only to quarter the arms of Hungary in one corner of the flag, while the Hungarian Minister of Commerce insisted on per fect equality. This has been obtained, the old Austrian flag, talsing the placenear the flagstaff, while the arms and colours of hingary tnke up the ot! , er half. Even this lirgnn an deputy, arguing. from th fa"t that the two colours, the red anti w hit e , i. c h, ug equally to Hungary and Austria, thought Hungary's rights curtailed because it appeared as if the red aud while were but a continuation of the Austrian flag, and proposed a black stripe, or at least some scam, to separate the two. Such is national senti ment. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—' count."

Mr. Norwood, has written to Mr. Empring ham, of Hull, stating that the Attorney-General bas ac cepted his suggestions with respect to the Imprisonment of Debt Bill.

But t"e debtor who refuses to pay when ho has the means t) do so, may be punished irrespective of the amount of his debt.

GEORGE WOOD, Secretary. A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ITA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, i•zsned 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 'infrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Lifo 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 bo absolutely Unforfeitable, 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 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. bcating 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 he 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 en 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 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 (digs as security, may always know the utmost amount they may ho 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 eons , gnence of the •hpßi. tal , h. help , Jinforfrital. l ... ,.--. . , 0n . dnionat, they will Jas., be une.tiTliong.qw , e on any round whatever. * They may therefore be aptly termA Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ;hewn° of X 215,1100 a year Its position is un qe,,,,tin,40.,1e, and it obtains the lirgest amount of new hnsi,,,,s of any offi.:e in the Kingdom.
