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 shevin of £16,070 13s. 3d., derived ft.= various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent.

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 rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

Later accounts confirm the report that another attempt %t assassination was made at Moynalty, •in the :ounty of Meath, Ireland, on Thursday evening. It _is stated that the outrage was not -agrarian, but no motive can bo assigned for it. It appears that Gargan, the wounded man, had been In Kells on Thursday afternoon, and returned home about nine o'clock. He was in the act of opening the gate leading to his dwelling at the entrance of the demesne of Mr. J. A. Farrell, in whose service ho was steward, when a shot was fired from a blunderbuss, pointed through an aperture made in a hedge which skirted a plantation at the other side of the road. The weapon had been charged with slugs, three of which took effect, one entering his left side through the ribs, another passing through the left arm, and the third glancing off his fingers. lie was able to reach his house, and Dr. Ringwood was promptly in attendance, and the slugs having been extracted, Gargan is now. progressing favour. ably. The , :elili,rate malignity of the attempt was illus trated by a little incident. It was found that a temporary fastening had been put upon the gate, through which he was to enter his house, in onler that while he stood to open it the assassin might have a more certain aim. It happened that the stratagem failed, for Gargan's wife, feeling uneasy that he did not return as early as she expected, went down to the road to make inquiries, and removed the fastening. Information was speedily con veyed to the police, and seven persons were arrested on suspicion who had been seen gambling on the road, a short distance from the scene of the outrage, but who appeared to take no notice of it. A private investi gation was held by the magistrates, the result of which was that six of the party were discharged, and the seventh, a lad named Lynch, was remanded for further examine tion. One of the circumstances in evidence affecting him is the fact that some footprints seen about the spot corres. pond exactly with the marks in his Shoes. He is a son of a herd on the estate.

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 aro 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 Waled on this plan will be withcra any conditions as to voyaeine; foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom r from restrictions of all kinds tha objections before referred to will bo 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 Tab:eA. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others bolding policies of this ells , : as security, may A lw a y s know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance sn as to maintain the full benefit of the Assnrati_vs—a matter of groat importance where- p , !Veles are held as collateral security. It is only neccsssry to fold that, as a consequence of the rolie;es under these tables helm; unforreitable and uncon ditional, they will also ho unehaliengoablo on any vrnuud whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an inrome of .£215,000 a year Its position is me questionable, .and it obtains tho largest amount of new busirwas of any &flee in tin) Kingdom.

Symons, the celebrated authority on rain and rainfall, has been investigating the subject. He has, like so many others, found success in the failure of others. He has carried on his experiments at Hamp stead. When Hampstead was one of a series of pleasant villv ges (in the days of Henry VIII.) the Hampstead Water Works Company was formed. The supply of water, of course, in time grew unequal to the demand, and a. new well was sunk into the chalk to the depth of between 500 and GOO feet. Again, the demand exceeded the supply, and the company, taking the professional advice tendered to them by a number of geologists, sunk an Artesian bore through the centre of their well to the depth of a quarter of a mile, expecting to find water in abundance in the lower greensand. Into this the Waterworks Company bored in 1853 ; they reached the depth of 1,302 feet, sunk nearly £B,OOO in two years, found, strange to say, no lower greensand, unfortunately, no water, and became ruined. The property passed eventually into the hands of the New River Company, who kindly and most liberally at once accorded to Mr. Symons the permission he sought to conduct a series of thermometric experiments on the abandoned site. Mr. Symons soon erected a hut over the well, and fitted up a snug little observing-house. At the British Association meeting at Dundee a committee was appointed to investigate the temperature of the earth at great depths. Mr. Symons is a member of that corn, mittee, also Sir W. Thomson, who moved for its appoint ment. Upon the solution hang certain matters of contention between Sir William and Professor Huxley as to how far underground temperature may be made to test the age of the world. Mr. Symons's experiments are not yet con cluded. The results so far he regards as decisive. He • has made gradual. observations down to a depth of 1,100 feet, and has ascertained that the temperature there is 20 degrees higher than above ground—that is to say, the thermometer shewed 70 degrees, whereas • the mean temperature of London is 50 degrees. If this rate of increase continues, as there seems no reason to doubt would be the case, boiling .point (210 degreeo would be reached about a mile and a half down. At present, however, Mr. Symons is at a standstill ; he has literally stuck in the mud. About 200 feet of blue-black deposit has accumulated at the bottom of the tube, and into this the thermometers cannot penetrate. Of course the learned society under whose nmpiccs the work is being prosecuted will forbid such au iguominious termination of a valuable investigation, the like of which has never before been attempted. WIRE TRAMWAYS. We have already given our readers some particulars of the wire tramway, the "aerial" railway as it is called, or, as another speaks of it, "a railway without cuttings, em bankments, tunnels, viaducts, cr bridges, no matter how hilly the country to be traversed." The Daily Ectrs gives some further iefarmatiet concerning this new invention. The wire tramway provides a simple and cheap substitute for a line of . rails. The wire spans over and evades obstacles in place of burrow ing. under or levelling them, and will perform its task as easily along a rugged tract of country as uu the smoothest road. The experiment being now prosecuted with complete success between some Leicestershire stone quarries and a railway station three miles distant consists of an endless wire rope, supported on a series of pullies carried by substantial posts, which are ordinarily about 150 feet apart, but the interval between which may be greatly extended, as is shewn in one case where the ss from post to poSt is Coo' feel. One of the ends of this rope passes round a Fowler's clip-drum, worked by a portable steam engine, and this drives the rope at a speed of six miles an hour. Boxes are hung on the rope at the loading end near the quarries by a pendant which is ingeniously arranged to preserve a perfect equilibrium,' and at the same time to pass without hindrance over the supports. Each of these boxes carries one hundredweight of stoee, and the delivery is at the rate of 200 boxes, 'or 10 tons per hour for the three-mile distance. Already wire tramways on the Leicestershire model are in course of erection in France, Italy, and Spain. Negotiations are on foot, too, between the Turkish Government and the engineers here, and it is not improbable that this generation may see goods carried by wire as commonly as messages. The tramway is, indeed, not unlike an exceedingly stoat electric telegraph. The most important point in Mr. Hodgson's invention is Lis method of passing the points of support, which consists in so curving the frame of the truck or box as to make the centre of gravity come under the rope. So admirably is this managed that some of our leading engineers have been discussing quite recently the possibility of constructing a stout wire tram way between Dover and Calais, which should be sup ported from a line of pillars sunk in mid-ocean, and along which passengers could be conveyed. The cost would be comparatively small, and suspensory trains could, it is argued, be despatched across the Channel without difficulty or danger. Where heavy loads must necessarily be carried a pair of stationary sup porting ropes, with an endless running rope for the motive power, are employed, and by these means as many as a thousand tons per day can be easily conveyed. The cost of erecting these tramways in England, and of supply motive power and rolling stock, is from £250 a mile for carrying fifty tons a day, in boxes holding half a hundredweight each, to £1,500 a mile for one of the double rope lines, to carry 1,000 tons a day, in boxes or trucks holding six hundredweight each. For all districts where there is traffic, but where it would not pay to construct a railway, the wire tramway le particularly applicable, and, as will be readily under stood, wherever there is standing-room for posts, there a line can be erected. A recent application from traders in copper for putting one up for them which should run through an African forest, and over an African jungle down to the coast, illustrates the varied circum stances under which the new system of transport may be applied. .fIIE HARVARD BOAT.—The four-oared boat in which the Harvard crew will row their international races arrived from Greenpoiut, L. 1., on Saturday.

New York Times, June 8. - SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ALDERSHOTT.—A serious and singular accident occurred on Monday at Aldershott. Some movements were being executed by two brigades, the heavy brigade consisting of the sth and 7th-Dragoon Guards, under the command of Colonel Calthorpe, and the light brigade, the 6th Inniskillings and the 10th Hussars, under Colonel Baker. The colonel was making a dashing charge, and when near the north end of the valley, Brigadier Baker ordered his brigade to retire by column of troops from left of line. As this movement was being executed, Brigadier Calthorpe's brigade was coming on at a gallop, and before the rear squadron of Inniskillings could clear the front the left squadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards rode upon the flank of the rear squadron of the Gth Dragoons. A fearful crush was the result, and a number of men were put hors de combat. Private Thomas Keetley, Gth Dragoons, bad his skull and ribs fractured, and but small hopes are entertained of his recovery. Some eight or ten privates were also seriously injured. Horses belonging to each regiment, having their legs frac tured, were shot on the field. The men injured belonged to C Squadron, Gth Dragoons—Squadron leader, Captain A. F. Stewart ; and B Squadron, 7th Dragoon Guards— Squadron leader, Captain D'Olier George. Medical aid was at once procured, and the wounded men conveyed to hospital. court of t 41cluir7 int,Q *I)W% WA 1 2119 1 4 - - MR. MORTIMER COLLINS' NEW NOVEL.
