According to the Record, seven bishops have now destroyed it. Our contemporary views with sorrow and alarm the conduct of the prelates who voted for concurrent endowment. They are accused of indif ference to the duty which they have sworn to per form, and, instead of protesting, as their fathers did, agaii:st the "man of sin," "they have invited the bitter gibes of Liberationists like Mr. Miall, who have said that the almighty dollar,' and not Christian Protestantis:n, is now the wat.Thword of Cie bishops." Whatever happens - now, the mischief will have been done. The vote of the seven bishops " has pnt in jeop-nly not merely the existence of the Irish Church►. but the safety of every other endowed Ts..ablishment."

Though the case is cue form bitration ' yet Mr. Smith thinks, seeing that it is undoubted that the Alabama ought not to have es:Aped, we ought to relinquish our st: ict legal rights, if by so doing, :Ira without the abandonment of honour, we can put an end to- a controversy full of evil and fraught with danger. The worst of Mr Smith's proposal is that it would settle nothing as to the law of the question, nor, judging from past experience, is it improbable that conciliation would be met by fresh demands.

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 £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,696 ls. 9d. and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in ro 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 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon, E.O. 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 Unchallengeablo. 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 pi emium 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 ut 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-five 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 unehallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies.

For instance, at this present moment the judges are travelling from town to town, and declaring that there is hardly any crime. The gaols are almost empty, and, in fact, the people are the most orderly and law-observing in the world, except with regard to two departments, religion and the land. Religion makes them resort to illegal meetings, where they break each other's heads ; the land makes them fire at landlords and magistrates and bailiffs. And the worst of it is that in the popular estimation neither religious riot nor agrarian assassination is thought a crime by the people. Rather the person guilty of either is thought a hero ; and so it is impossible to obtain evidence, and the criminal goes free. A SOCIAL WANT. Mr. Justice Hayes made some very just and sen sible remarks to the Newcastle jury a day or two since. There were two cases of manslaughter in the calendar, both—as is so often the case—originating in drunkenness, ' which, Justice Hayes observed, judging from the calendar of the whole county, was the prevailing vice of the work ing classes. It was, he said, very unfortu nate that there was no amusement or means of relaxation for the industrial classes excepting the public-house and beerhouse. Some sort of intellec tual amusement would be far more attractive if once people were able to appreciate it, and our working men not only worked hard, but possessed great intelligence and received good wages. The horrible habit of drunkenness was the parent of all crime, and its prevalence shewed the ignorance of our industrial classes, though they might have special aptitude in their particular vocations. It is to be wished some of the working man's professed friends would turn their attention to his social requirements as well as to his political wants. THE POL:CE AGAIN. What has come to the London police ? Has the hot weather destroyed their mental and moral balance ? A few days ago we told the story of the three bank clerks who were charged with being drunk and disorderly in the Haymarket. Three or four policemen swore to the fact till they were nearly black in the face, but for all that Mr. Knox refused to believe them, and denounced them with great severity. Here is another case. A lady was walking quietly in Hyde Park, when she was pounced upon by a policeman, charged with furious riding, and, in spite of her protest that she had not been on a horse for weeks, was dragged off to the police station. Hero she was duta.:ned until her husband was sent for. He was able to bring irrefragable evidence that his wife had not ridden at all at the time specified; nevertheless, other policemen came formrl to swear that she had. The case was dismissed, the mn , r'strate thereby shelving what valve ho attached to the evidence of the police. The justly-angered hurband laid the matter before Colonel Henderson, but the Chief Commissioner of Police replied that he would take no notice of it, and , that if the complainant wished to have the police indicted for perjury he must undertake the prosecution on his own account. Really this sort of thing is becoming intolerable. The most Lonest and inoffensive among us will soon be no longer safe against an attack by the guardians of the public peace, and-unless we are able to bring witnesses to prove how we spent every moment of our time there is no reason why we should not have to spend three months in prison for an offence said to have been committed when we were in bed and asleep. HALFPENNY POSTAGE. German letter writers are just now agitating for a halfpenny card postage, that is to say, they propose that a card the size of an ordinary envelope, and con taining the message on the outside, should be carried fur a smaller sum than a closed envelope. It is not perhaps very clear why if a card may be carried for a halfpenny an envelope should not, providing the two are of the same weight, but the matter is well worth consideration. SECURITINS DEPOSITED WITH BANKERS. " As safe as a bank " is a common expression, and until the Privy Coun2il said otherwise, people thought that for anything deposited with a banker he was responsible. The Judicial Committee, how ever, gave a very different opinion. Securities de p, s:ted in a bank, it was decided, were so deposited at the owner's risk, as the bankers were mere gratuitous bailees. Depositors, therefore, are look ing about for the means of indemnifying them vlves in case of loss, and a Fidelity Safe Deposit Company is proposed. Let all bankers unite, charge a percentage on valuables left, and they will, it is thought, make a small profit, and be able at the same time to indemnify all losses. UR. GRENVILLE MURRAY. Some further correspondence is published be tween the Conservative Club and Mr. Murray. The Secretary of the club informs Mr. Murray that a meeting is about to be held to consider his conduct as to his dismissal from the consulship at Odessa and his connection with the Queen's Meosenger. Mr. Murray, in reply, complains of the treatment he has received, asks for written interrogatories to which he shall have time to reply, and requests a postponement of the question of consulship. With regard to the Queen's Messenger, he enters into a long story about it. He speaks of it as if he had no personal knowledge of it, using the phrase, " I am informed," when stating any fact con cerning it. When the raper commenced, ho rays, it was conducted by members of six London clubs. It especially assailed Mr. Bidwell, whom it charged with appropriating all the patronage for those from whom he received bribes. Some pro ceedings took place which led to litigation in Chancery, still pending. Mr. Bidwell got frienas to help him, and a "conspiracy" was formed. It got abroad that Mr. Murray was editor, and the result was the assault by Lord Carington. Mr. Murray protests that on this evidence he should not be udged. AN OLD POLITICL N ON THE CRISIS. Mr. Brand, the member for Cambridgeshire and the late Liberal Whip, writes to the Times on the disposal of the surplus, very earnestly protesting against the postponement of the question. The non-settlement of the question would, he thinks, be most pernicious. In Ireland it would lead to agita tion, unwholesome excitement, and forcer war bitween the already too much divided classes. Every creed, every- class, every interest, would be con tinually urging- its claims upon Parliament fir a share of the fund. The Churchman would regard it as his own ; a claim which would be constantly and justly resisted by Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. All sects would demand it for sectarian education; and there would not be wanting those who would demand it for concurrent 'endowment. The landed interest would sit rip a claim in respect of the improvement of estates, and the towns in respect of local works. The railway and other powerful interests would swell the train of applicants. "In short (exclaims Mr. Brand) it would be a scramble for money, leading to the corruption and demoralisation of a whole nation." In the United Kingdom equally bad results would ensue. Legislation, the hon. member declares, would be at a deadlock. The question can be settled this session. Why hand it over to another to cause more ill-feeling continually ?
