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, 3Ont JUYE, 1868.

The total income of the year, it will be soon, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 £14,596 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 cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THE PLIABILITY UP AMERICANS IN More than two years ago a circular was widely distributed, urging the advisability of establishing in Europe a National American Banking House. It maintained that the exchange between the Con tinents was not regulated on any principle; was sub ject to violent, arbitrary, and unnecessary changes, causing loss and annoyance to those who had to transfer money. Such a bank, it was argued, would itself regulate the exchange, and in doing so would confer a benefit especially on America, who lost most by the present system. It was also con sidered necessary that the States should have on this side such a financial agency, to raise loans, pay dividends and coupons, and meet the drafts of the Washington Treasury. It was thought that an establishment on a grand scale, known to be in connection with the Government, would not only supply an American want, but tend to establish upon a firm basis the credit of the United States in Europe. A resolution is now before Congress to appoint such an agency, and the New York Journal of Commerce says that INIr. M'CuLt.octr, who has ac cepted the post, will be located in London, while as a partner of Messrs JAY COOKE and Co. he will represen t here that firm. It is a matterof astonishment to Eng lishmen to observe the sudden changes which trans form an American Cabinet Minister of enormous power into a resident partner of a banking house expatriated in a foreign city. Let them glance at the short sketch * we last week gave of the new and re-elected Senators, and they will see how common these changes are. HANNIBAL HAMLIN was a small farmer; he was then Vice-President, a second time farmer, and now member of the United States Senate. General CARL SCHURZ, after many a hungry day in London, was a writer for the newspaper press—Minister to Madrid—a General commanding an Army Corps of the United States—again newspaper correspondent, the step being direct from the great power which his ele vated military post gave in time of war down to a correspondent, and from the editorship of a Ger man newspaper he has now entered the Senate. The Republic is full of men whose career has been even more chequered. A Judge descends from the bench of the Supreme Court to work as an attor ney. A Cabinet Minister from a seat at the Coun cil Board takes a place at the desk of a trading firm, a President becomes a lecturer, and a most cele brated General, on whom has hinged the future of a continent, has sunk into a professor's chair of an obscure college. These curious changes are in accordance with the genius of the people, and are the practical result of their institutions. It is a common thing to hear an American say that he has to do one more only, to have tried all the profes sions. He has sailed a ship, he has commanded a regiment, he has argued a case, he has run a news paper, he has worked a farm, he has failed as a merchant, he has " stumped" a State, he has " spouted" in Congress, he has represented Repub lican dignity in the Court of a despot, he has been manager of an hotel, and he intends to die a bishop ! In Europe all this is incomprehensible, genuine facts being ascribed to exaggeration, and listened to with incredulity. More espe cially in England is a man's choice of a profes sion like the choice of a wife, an irrevocable step, to which he is tied like the Siamese twins, for the place he gets into, however ill adapted to his form, as he afterwards may find, he becomes com pelled thenceforth to occupy ; and the square man in the round hole has through friction to wear off the sharp angles, till he gets accommodated to the position. These professions are like the castes of India, they are so hedged in that it is almost im possible to enter them except by training at an early age for the career. They possess degrees of dignity made sacred by time, and an esprit de corps compels each member in his own person to maintain that dig nity. A voluntary descent to something society considers beneath the former position would be regarded almost as a crime, certainly as an offence ; and he who rises frotn the lower into the higher walks of life does all he can to obliterate every trace of the former stage, treating an allusion to it in his presence almost as an insult. An American, on the contrary, throws up what the Eaglishtnan con siders the higher and goes back voluntarily to the lower, or he makes his original occupation his ar morial device. Mr. Jonxsos while at the head of his mighty nation receives deputations of tailors, an I diieusses the trade with the gusto of a tradesman, acknowledging that he was never more happy than when working in the craft. During the election the Union was covered with tanner clubs in honour of GRANT'S old employment. Of all things most likely to be unsavoury to the olfactory sense of the Englishman who had been so employed after he had risen to high dig nity would be a tanyard, and all EUGENE RIM MEL'S perfumes could not overpower the taint. Governor SEYMOUR'S occupation would be un derstood and condoned in England, as that of a gentleman engaged in high farming, and he could therefore even with pride offer his guests some of the cheese from his own dairy. Many Americans imagine that English prejudices against trade and useful occupations generally, are con fined to the Upper Ten Thousand ; but this is a great mistake, for perhaps these prejudices are there lets felt than in the other grades of society The traveller who takes a coach and drives through an English county, on asking his JEIIU to WllOlll that beautiful demesne belongs, learns that " Lord COWHIDE is the proprietor, his grandfather was a butcher ; he is a new man, and thought little of in the county." " There," he will add, pointing to some gable-ended country residence with straight rows of trees, " that is the old manor house of Sir J EREMY DIDDLER, one of the most ancient ba ronets; indeed he came over with the Conqueror." There can be little doubt that this prejudice is giving way before the progress of Americanization, and a handicraft-man does not now seem so much I inclined to sneer at the family founded by his suc cessful fellow-craftsman. That "founding a family" is what Americans dislike, and Englishmen love. The very essence of the institutions of the Re public is, that every man should have a fair chance in life and succeed or fail according to his individual merits. The founding a family is the reverse of this, the object being to perpetuate a name, a memory, to which other considerations have to give way. Hence the law of primogeni all the daughters are thrown aside in ture and entail, by which all the sons,younfgaevreeref h and worthy of the family, yet, in defere first-born son, who may turn out ton e b e e t t e h t e h m is, o a st ll u h n is - T ee h s e , English endeavour to perpetuate betters are made victims to his atgegfarainnidlyi and grades of society ; pro f e ssional distinctions, s d e t c . ti is t a ught to honour and o bey all those above him, that the American to knock them all down. The one and to be content with s tate to which he has b e en born ; the America n is tau g ht to consider him self an equal ato m of a mighty whole, and his place i he can reach it, or any the Presidential Chair, f rest i ng -place on his road o ther seat into which he can dro p as a temporary upwards. Sometimes h e has a rapid fall downwards ; often he wearies, and voluntarily descends; now his chair is soft as the woolsack, again as hard as a garden bench ; now he is on the stool of repentance, now with a dunce's cap placed in a corner, but always busy and hurrying along from change to change, up and down in the ever-restless throng, the übiquitous, pliable, brain working Yankee, who tries all things, and to whom only of all mankind is conceded the power, of doing them all well.
