The directors draw special attention to the fact thrt 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 tho 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 cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 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 - assu red 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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 bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Un ch alien geable. 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 dece , ts., when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. baring the same propor tion to the total amount assured as tho number of pr , - mierns 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 ay 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. Tho 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 be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assnrances=a matter of great importance whore 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 unchallongeable 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.

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 fur support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averagod be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. Tho 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. ContribLtions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lano ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; Herries sod Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Pape, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co.,_Berners- street ; and at the Hospital from 10 till 5. 3!~ v ME2ROPOLITAN GOSSlP—Saturday. The publication of Lor d• Cairns's notices of amendments to the Irish Church Bill has given great satisfaction to the Government. These amendments chew that for the present, at all events, there is no alliance between the Conservative party and the old Whigs. Such an alliance would have been a serious matter. The concurrent endow ment idea has made wonderful progress during the last week. Your readers may remember that last year when the Irish Church question was first mooted about 200 clergymen, mostly notable men, and belonging to the Broad Church party, drew up a petition in favour of disestablishment. Some of these, Mr. Llewellyn Daviei and Mr. Harry Jones being the most prominent of them, have sent to the Times the copy of a petition which they have addressed to the House of Lords in support of Earl Grey's amendment,which proposes to omit that portion of the preamble forbiddingthe appropriation of the surplus funds to the maintenance of the clergy of any other Church. That the idea should find favour with the Times and the Saturday Review was to be expected. But that the Morning Star should keep silence while such a proposition is being gravely urged by men of influence is nothing less than portentous. Remember that this journal has until now been considered to represent the straitest of the Noncon formists. Remember that until now it has always denounced State Churches, always upheld the voluntary system. What is the cause of its silence now? Is it that its new editor, Mr. John Morley, one of the philosophic Radicals who are generally enamoured of the concurrent idea, has been allowed to have his way? Or is it that Mr. Bright, who has openly advocated the g►ving of glebes and parsonages to all the three Churches, has given the word of command? In the meanwhile the Noncon formists are, with one exception, without any organ of their opinions. The Daily .News, which belongs chiefly to Mr. Samuel Morley (no relation to the new editor of the Star), protests in behalf of that influen tial section of the constituencies, which, if it were repre sented in proportion to its numbers would have half the daily press upon its side. The position for them is rather critical. I believe that Mr. Gladstone has no intention of deviating from the linewhich he laid downon the hustings. But - if he is not to-be overborne,(andAt4q4e—possible that at the last moment the Conservatives. may coalesce with the old Whigs, if they see their way thereby to inflict a blow upon the Government), the Nonconformists must lose no time in speaking out. There are many other schemes afloat, but most of them are very wild. There has been some talk of proposing that the surplus funds shall be handed over to aboard, similar to that which administers Queen Anne's Bounty, and that this board shall expend the money in building churches, parsonages, and schools. In other words, that the Church shall not be disendowed at all. This was the Bishop of Gloucester's idea, but he has abandoned it to-day, finding no support from the Conservative party for so hopeless a proposal. He, however, still vows that he'will divide the House on the principle that the Church funds shall not be secularised ; and he has hopes of the support of Lord Cairns and Lord Salisbury should he do so. These two noblemen have for the present made up their difference, and are likely to act together. Lord Harrowby had a meeting of his Protestant friends on Thursday at his own house. There was much talking, but no resolu tion. In fact, the Protestant party are by no means at unity. Lord Shaftesbury is at the antipodes to his friend Lord narrowly, .and boldly proposes a seieme which is secularisation with a vengeance. He suggests that the surplus Church funds shall bw lent out to farm tenants, fishermen, and other persons in small trades and occupa tions. This plan will not be without attraction to tEe Government, since it offers great assistance in dealing with the land question. But then it is such a complete diversion of the Church funds from their original purpose, that Mr. Gladstone, who hitherto has (as I prophesied last year that be would) acted on the cy prea principle, is hardly likely to submit to the alteration. Meanwhile all the papers seem to have overlooked one very important amendment proposed by Lord Cairns. Its importance is not apparent on the surface, for it simply proposes to omit a few words from the end of one of Mr Gladstone's clauses. But it involves nothing lees than the repeal of the Statute of Mortmain, and will allow the Church to become possessed of land to any extent, and without the limitation which now exists, compelling all bequests to be made twelve months before the death of the testator. This, your readers will remember, I stated to be the object which the Bishop of Oxford ardently desired. The amendment will carry out the idea on which his heart is set, that of establishing a free and opulent Church, with power to hold any amount of property with out the control of the State. I announced some days ago that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was preparing the money bill for the purchase of the telegraphs. This bill will be introduced in a few days. The amount is £600,000. It is not pro bable that the Government will take possession of the telegraphs before next January. The preparations which must be made for carrying out the improved service which the Post-office authorities have in contemplation involve so large an amount of work that it cannot be completed under six months. The Marquis of Hartington was purposely absent from the House last night, when Mr. Graham meant to ask the intentions of the Government, but it is expected that by Monday the necessary information will be forthcoming, and that the Marquis will then be in his place. _ The new Control scheme at the War Office is expected to come into operation on Thursday next, July Ist. For some time past the office has been in a state of perpetual committee, nearly every other room being occu pied by some gentlemen who were sitting upon something or other beside their chairs. The new system has been in operation in Ireland for some time with good results. It would have been extended to England before now probably had it not been that Mr. Lowe called for the production of all the papers that he might go through them. A great step in advance towards compulsory education has been made during the last few days. Early in the week the reports of the inspectors of schools were pub lished. Nearly all these inspectors complain of the jrre gular attendance of the scholars, and of the early age at which they are withdrawn from school, and nearly all recommerd that education should in some way be made compulsory. Those persons who are acquainted with the views of the schoolmasters know well that the same feel ing prevails among them. The weather is superb to-day, and the review at Windsor ought to be a splendid spectacle. For some weeks past the Coldstreams have been exercising daily in Hyde Park, and they were inspected this week. The Pasha, or rather the Khedive of Egypt, is said to have been much hurt by the absence of the escort on his arrival ; and so every effort is being made to atone for that grievous indiscretion. The Prince of Wales has been unmercifully chaffed for his unlucky miss at Charing cross station. He is reminded that the Khedive was on the qui vire for two days and two nights when the Prince and the Princess were expected, and he is asked if he could not have been just ten minutes earlier when returning the courtesy of his generous host, There was last night a dinner given to him at Marlborough House by the Prince of Wales. (By the way, why did the Turkish Ambassador give his reception the same night ?) The review to-day is in his Highness's honour. On Tuesday he goes to the Crystal Palace and will witness the fireworks. On Thursday he will be at the Society of Arts conver sazione in South Kensington, which will be one of the most brilliant events of the season. Unfortunately the Institute of British Architects have fixed the same night for their conversazione, so I shall have to find out how to solve the problem of being in two places at once. The great scandal of the day is the quarrel between Lord Carrington and Mr. Grenville Murray. The latter person was formerly our Consul at Odessa, and was recalled. Since then he has been persistently attacking Lord Stanley and other gentlemen of the Foreign Office in that scurrilous print the Queen's Messenger. He has not confined himself to the diplomatic service, but has attacked, among other gentlemen, the late Lord Carrington. His son, the hero of the Four-in-band Club, being too impatient to seek redress by the tedious process of an action for libel, has taken the law into his own hand, and being an experienced whip, has proved the fact in a manner that Mr. Murray does not approve, and in the presence of all Clubland. There is nowa chance, though not a certainty, I believe, of an action for assault and battery. Meanwhile, the public sympathy is not with the assailed. Yale has permitted Harvard to fill a vacancy the crew of the latter college in the coming boat race be tween these Universities out of the Harvard Law School ; the custom being that undergraduates only were permitted to pull. Mr. Fay, who is to go to England as one of two to fill any vacancy that might arise in the race on the side of H arvar d against the English Universities, will be detained a fortnight to pull in the match between Harvard and Yale. In granting this concession Yale stipulated that it should never be used as a precedent for future action in the selec tion of crews, and only under the necessity that has arisen for the best men of Harvard to be sent to pull at the inter national race with England. An understanding has been reached with the Dominion authorities as to the terms on which New foundland will enter the Confederation, and they are to be submitted to the people of Newfoundland for ratification.
