The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even loss than for many years past. 3. On the other band, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM. —On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on ered*t.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L-11- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued 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 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 Unforfeitablo, 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 pm 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. s , Ever7..l-Wies..ispued_ou this plan will bo without any conditions as to voyavinm, foreign resid.nee, or othefrisurbt lfmitations. 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 _ - In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The Ingest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest, five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, tankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this ells- - ; 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 unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. --The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. - Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet 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 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. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

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 cont. 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 lest 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 end other causes. The expenses of menagetnent aro less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred itt 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 cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

The Temps confidently repeats thetstatement Made some little time ago that Queen - Victoria had written a very pressing autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon re specting the troublesome railway dispute. The Temp. cannot state how far this communication' may have in fluenced the precipitate settlement of the dispute, but it believes that the danger of the question has altogether dis appeared. It may now be taken for certainthat the terms of settle. ment do not involve the leasing of the Belgian lines, that they do not go beyond the establishment of an interna tional system of traffic ; in short, that the firmness of the —Belgian Government has prevailed. Curiously enough, the Constitutionnet, a French semi-official paper, asserts that the settlement is favourable to Belgium, and contra- dicts the Inckpendance, a Belgian paper which feared that its Government bad got the worst of the nego tiations. The Constitutionnel says that the Brussels Cabinet some time ago made explanations which assured the French Government. that the law respecting railway conventions had no political significance. The negotia tions were, therefore, conducted solely on a commercial basis. And the result has been the nomination of a mixed - commission, the business of which will be to arrange the details of an extensive international railway service. " This proposition was made by Belgium us an equivalent for the original lease project." The affair may now be regarded as disposed of. THE MILAN CONSPIRACY. The discovery of the Republican plot at Milan has given rise to a question of considerable importance. The conspirators were well supplied with money. - One of them _..- offered a £4O note to each of the two soldiers who arrested \ him. And in none of these enterprises does there appear to be any lack of the war sinews. Where does all this money come from ? It is said that since 1860 subscriptions for revolutionury purposes have been very difficult to get in Italy. It is certain that no great sum can be raised by subscription. None of the conspirators is very rich. The Italian Ga:ette endeavours to solve the difficulty by jut. puting to Mazzini and his compatriots the circulation of a large quantity of forged bank notes. Italy labours under the curse of a forced paper currency, and a great number of notes have been found unauthorised. The Ga:ette states that they have been put in circulation by the workmen's societies th7otighout thekW:dom. and that the money thus realised has been handed over to the conspirators. Mazzini is the honorary president of almost all these workmen's societies. It would, however, be unfair to accept an accusation so grave without further proof. THE CZECHS. A. telegram from Prague states : "The commandant of the town has caused official placards to be posted in the streets announcing the abolition of the exceptional state of the law established last autumn." Prague is the capital of Bohemia, and the " exceptional state of the law" is nothing less than a state of siege, which was declared by the Government on the 10th of October last, and has been maintained ever since. The Czechs desired the establishment of an autonomy similar to that granted to Hungary. The Government not meeting their wishes, furious riots took place, mass demonstrations were held, and the soldiery was assailed. The women took a very prominent part in these semi•insurrections. Conciliatory efforts have since been made, and have so far succeeded that military rule is no longer found necessary. CROWNING THE EDIFICE. Many signs point to the conclusion that the Emperor Napoleon will not be able to hold out much longer against the ever-increasing agitation on behalf of liberty and constitutional government in France. It is hard to keep one of the first nations of the world in chains whilst every neighbouring people is in the enjoyment of freedom. The Constitutionnel of Wednesday contained a remarkable article, supporting those numerous indepen dent candidates who uphold the Emperor's dynasty, but who at the same time demand parliamentary govern ment. The Presse is still more explicit. It says that an extraordinary session of the new Corps Legislatif will commence on the 15th of June and last until the middle of August. On the opening day of this short session a proclamation, the prelude to great constitutional changes and the down fall of irresponsible Government, will be addressed to the representatives of the French nation. It is notice able that the Government, whilst strongly opposing the hot and strong Left representatives, is dealing very tenderly with those candidates whose watchword is " Liberty and the Empire." THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The scanty news from Paraguay elms that warlike operations are still going on ; but it appears unlikely that the contest will result in much more fighting. Lopez, however, bad accumulated a force of some kind and was within reach of the Allies, who were preparing to attack him. It was expected that his position in the mountains would be reached early in April. It is satisfactory to learn that the navigation of the great rivers of the hostile region, the Paraguay and the Pvrana, is thoroughly free. Thus the evil effects of the war on commerce are disap• pertrin. DR. coLtsso's PROTEGES. Colonel Alexa►der has a word to say on behalf of tl►e Zulus—the race which bad the honour of pi °axing that keen-witted individlal who brought about such a revolu tion in Bishop Cole►;so's theology. The Zulus of Natal, says the Colonel, area stand: g disproof of the theory that coloured races are dying outbefore the advancing civilisation of the white man. " The Zulus have increased immensely, not by im migration merely frrAn neighbouring regions, but in the natural order of things, when the ground is cultivated in peace, when war is unknown, and ardent spirits do not demoralise the people and induce vice in many shapes." When Natal was first made a colony they numbered but 10,000 men ; now they are hundreds of thousands. They devote themselves to agriculture, and have forgotten all about war. Hundreds of acres are now waving with native cultivation. In fact, they do so much work for them selves that coolies have been brought into the colony to labour for the whites. They drink nothing stronger than Seer made from maize and milk. Colonel Alexander believes that the Maories also are an example of a native race flourishing in the midst of civilisation. Setting aside the party now engaged in rebellion, the Colonel can point to large tracts of land under Maori cultivation, Maori schooners waiting to receive the produce, and flour mills owned by Maori proprietors, who had hired Europeans to put theM up. We must not accept too hastily the theory that all races except the white are doomed to vanish from the face of the earth.
