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, 30TH JUFE, 1868.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 78. 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 51 per cont. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

GEORGE WOOD, Secretary. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.G. 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 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 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 i,,sued 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 class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may bo 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 belng unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be uneliallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Poi Hrs. . --......: The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ipoorno of £215,000 a year Its position is un : questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any otlioo in the Kingdom.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent `or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

He speaks highly of the Scotch Mission established there. He says: "Established some ten years Ago, its agent, Mr. Smith, even then, notwithstanding the irritation against foreigners, maintained his position at Swatow, and the mission stations have since spread to *ll the districts round, and at great personal risk the footing of the mission has gradually been made good. Nor has this been done by constant appeal to a pro. tecting gunboat; the Consul and the authorities have from time to time been called on to extend protection, but it has ever been rather to prevent recurrence of vie knee than to obtain redress--the missionaries seeking but the opportunity of beini4 heard rather than obtaining the punishment of those who, rather from igno rance than anytlag else, had offered them insult or injury. By tliese means they have in many places obtained the good feeling of the people, who, led away 'by inconsiderate excitement, naturally expected, to suffer the consequences of their violence, and In many of their chapels they are far more secure than they would have been had an army marched in to exact iAtisfaction for the opposition offered to their entry," THE DOCTORS AND ,INTEMPERANCE. In connection with the present meeting of the British Medical Association in Leeds, about 150 of the members yes terday attended a breakfast in the new Great Northern Station Hotel, on the invitation of Mr. Baines, M.P., one of the vice presidents, and some of the leading members of the National Temperance League. Mr. Bowly, the president, the Rev. Alex. Hannay, Mr. Baines, and other F;entlemen appealed to the medical profession to aid them in thsit efforts to suppress the drinking habits of the community, indicating that, in their opinion, this might be done by the diminution, if not by the entire withdrawal, of stimulants La private practice, in hos pitals, and in workhouses. Several interesting addresses were made by medical gentlemen 'present, expressing con currence generally with the object of the league, and adding the opinion that the question was cme which might appro priately be discussed in some of the physiolegical sections of the association. The sections kgain me,t yesterday in the Town Hall, and in that devoted to the consideration :4 questions affecting publio health, tatx tateresting: discus sion on sanitary matters took place. In the afternoon there was another general meeting, - at which 0, paper was read upon hospitals by Dr. Galton, C.B. ; and 'the annual dinner of the society afterwards took place at tb B Town Hall. Mr. Charles Reed has given notic' 1 that on Monday aext he will ask the Secretary of State for the Home De partment 'whether Inspector Young, of )e Berth Constabu lary, was recently removed from his of flee upon the well rounded charge of exceeding his duty, r nader circumstances of peculiar aggravation; whether, notw ithstanding his dis missal, he has beon permitted to discha tge Lie accustomed duties ; and whether it is true that ho hr is been reinstated in the office of Inspector in the town of flitchin, where the offence was committed. Messrs. Turbutt and Overend, the Conservative candidates for East Derbyshire at the las t election, were on Thursday entertained at a banquet at Ohs eterfield. Mr. Tur butt said that so long as the unholy sllianoe between Popery, Radicalism, and Dissent inaugurated by Mr. Gladstone misted they would not be satisfied with the destruction of the Irish Church, but would make an attack on our own Church, and on one thing after another until there would aot be an inch of the Constitution left, or anything that rendered the country worth living for or dying for. We learn from the Manchester Guardian that '' negotiations are being secretly carried on between the Go vernment of the Regent and that of President Grant for the renunciation by Spain of her sovereign rights in Cuba. America would gladly pay a large sum for the possession of th e Island ; but, without the consent of the inhabitant; this transfer would hardly be recognised by England or France. The project, therefore, is to declare Cuba independent, and :o secure her neutrality until such time as a majority of the :reoles may see reason for casting in their lot, for better for worse, with the United States. Manchester (says the .Manchester Courier) is to have a marble statue of Oliver Cromwell. On Thursday, at meeting of the general purposes committee of the city iuncil, a letter was read from Mr. Noble, the eminent tvalptor, stating that some time ago he received a commis elon to execute a large statue of Cromwell, the condition being that the corporation of Manchester should find a %liftable site for it—inside the now Town-ball being pre ferred. The Town-clerk was authorised to assure Mr. Noble let the council would gladly find a site for the statue in the Town-hall. THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION PETITION.—i he uquiry was resumed on Thursday morning. A good teal of evidence was taken as to the conduct of :he " lambs" engaged on the Lleral Ede on the Col )f the election. Ths witnesses differei in their account ,f the instructions given to them. Some alleged that they were ordered to go and "nobble" the Blues (Conservatives), aid to kick up a row and prevent the Blues from voting. Milers said they wero ordered not to interfere with the Blues unless the Blues interfered with them. They h.d i fight with the Blues, but the Blues were the aggressors. THE JEWISH ABDUCTION CASE.—This extra trdinary trial was resumed on Thursday morning, Nliss Lyons having sufficiently recovered to continue er examination. She distinctly denied that she had been in mny way coerced, and declared that she had always been at iberty to return hcme to hu parents had she wished to do so. She reiterated that her reason for leaving her father's house ;vas the ill-treatment she had received at the hands of her oothor. This statement was corroborated by sevetal witnesses who had lived in the family. Mrs. Thomas, ono )f the defendants, was also examined.
