A remarkable article in the Pevpte appears to indicate that the Emperor Napoleon has at length awakened to the gravity of his position, and is inclined to meet the demands of the country by the concession of reforms. The Peuple is intimately connected with the Government; indeed, it is supposed to be inspired by the Emperor him self. A week ago it published a reactionary manifestos, declaring that the "hand of the Emperor must be felt.," and leaving it evidently to be inferred that the rigour of personal rule was in no way to be relaxed. An article of quite the opposite tone now appears in the same paper, and from the same pen : , "It is requisite that the Government should flew itself equal to the march of public opinion. In order to do so it is necessary, first, to accept resolutely the Left Centre as a part of the institutions of the country' and, secondly, to make the majority a participator in the initiation of great acts, thus causing it to stand out in relief as much as poesible before the country."

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 nn the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be eutitled 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 75. 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 considoed 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 nea rly £19,000. A considerable reduction , too , a ppears 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 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn.

To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe -6013 commend itself, Wier entirely free from 41 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 d3celse, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every ptemium paid, lyaring. the, SBlllO 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 fix,-(1 stun payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of tho 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 asLuring 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, eitber immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be withcu,t any conditions as to voya Zinc', 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 tliiw clas3 - as security, Triay always knott - 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 s only necessary to add that, as s consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengcable on any prouud whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDEN TIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new businPt4s of any office in the Kingdom.

FRANCE AND ITALY. The semi-official papers of Paris have announced the appointment of General Fleury as Ambassador at Florence, and one of them has remarked that, as the General is in high favour at the Courts of Austria and Italy, the appointment is of the utmost interest. The Temp gives the reason why this change should be so interesting. It says that General Fleury will be sent to Florence to conduct negotiations for the evacuation of Rome. It was this diplomatist who was sent on an extraor dinary mission to Florence in November 1867. TEE CAELTSTS. The Gautois learns from an intimate friend of General Cabrera that the old famous Carlist leader has given up all hope of securing the Spanish throne for the Duke of Madrid. General Cabrera says that he has frequently informed Don Carlos of his determination never again to undertake a campaign on the same principles as that of 1833. He will make no attempt to restore the head of Lis party, except on the condition that a thoroughly liberal Constitution, including especially freedom of worship, be granted to Spain. To this the remainder of the Carlist partisans will not consent. They imagine that the liberties of Spain can be restricted as they were forty years ago. They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. General Cabrera, thereto re, retires from the field. THE SUEZ CANAL. The Patrie says that the Sultan has positively declined to be present at the inauguration of the Suez Canal, ex cusing himself on account of the internal condition of the Ottoman Empire. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Italy have likewise given negative answers, and it is expected that the Kings of Prussia and Greece will do the same. What is the cause of these unanimous refusals ? Has the project for ensuring the neutrality of the canal anything to do with them ? TROUBLES IN CUBA, General Duke, who has been compelled by the hostility of the Spanish volunteers to resign his command in Cubs, seems to have excited universal dislike. The telegram received by the Government at Madrid stated that the rising of the volunteers was unanimous. Not a soldier took the General's part, not an officer remained faithful to him. The vo'unteers sent a deputation inviting him to resign, and be did so. General E.-pinar, who takes the command pending the arrival of Caballero de Rodas, was received with acclamation by the troops. Had not the unpopular General given way, Spain would have lost Cuba there and then. E3IIGRATION FROM CANADA. The superior soil and climate of the United States pre sent advantages with which Canada has the utmost difficulty in competing. There is at present no lack of emigrants to the colony—the (zodus from England has just now assumed enormous proportions —nor is there any want of employment for the emigrants w hen they ar rive. But the hope of making a fortune more speedily in the United States drains the population as fast as it is increased. We learn from the American papers that General Wyndham, commander of the British North American forces, and other gentlemen, are purchasing lands in Kansas, and that a large immigration is going to that State from Canada. There is no means of over coming this difficulty, which will enable the United States to compete on superior terms with Canada until only the most remote lands remain unsettled. SMALLPDX AT NEW YOflR. The people of New Yolk are much alarmed -at the prevalence of smallpox in certain quarters of the city, A physician connected with the Health Office says there can be no doubt that the disease Las largely increased in the public institutions, and he expresses the opinion that it is imported by the emigrant vessels. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that there is no doubt that the steamers City of Antwerp, Nebr: ska, and Kedar, frcm Liverpool, and a barque from Bremen, were all detained in the lower bay at New York frcm this cause. ROMANCE OF A DOUR EON PRINCE. The matrimonial troubles of the - Bourbon Prince Louis Ferdinand of Naples are now probably at an end. This young scion of an unfortunate house fell deeply and, it seems, hopelessly, in love with a beautiful American girl named Hamel, whom he met in Paris. He wanted to marry her at once. But his family were resolutely op posed to any alliance of their royal house with a plebeian girl, however beautiful and wealthy, and the despair. ing young prince could not overcome their opposition. In vain he requested the intervention of the French Emperor ; Napoleon had business of his own to look to, and could not trouble himself with romantic love affairs. At last the lovers ran off and wandered about in various directions, accompanied, let it be understood, by the young lady's mother, They came back to Paris, and afterwards departed for New York, where they were married some weeks ago by Justice Dodge, in the Jeffer son Market Police-court in New York. But the course of true love never did run smooth. It turned out that the legality of this marriage was exceedingly questionable, and that, in fact, it furnished no safe guarantee against future difficulty. Prince Ferdinand, however, true to the last, and superior to all obstacles, Las been married again at a church in New York State. May they be happy. RAIL TV.4 1 INTELLIGENCE. AFRICAN STEAMSHIP. The annual general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Leadenhall-street. Mr. P. D. liadow, the chairman, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the satis factory results of the past year. They had much to be thankful for in having an entire immunity from casualties, and also to their officers for the care they had taken to facilitate their trade along the coast. The directors proposed to issue 1,492 shares on hand at the small premium of £1 per share to carry out the policy indicated. The competition on their line had led to a reduction of rates, but he did not object to competition so long as it was carried out fairly. The directors had always avoided the dividing of profits up to the highest point ; they preferred keeping a reserve in hand to enable them to compete with any one. The direc tors had worked very hard during the last six months for the proprietors and themselves, and he would be glad to answer any questions. Mr. NORTON, a director, seconded the motion fur th adoption of the report, which was carried unani mously. A dividend of Bs. per share for the half-year ending the 30th of April last, free of income-tax, was declared payable on the 12th instaut, and also a further sum of 2s. per share payable at the same time. OCDE AND ROIDLCUND. The report of the directors of this company states that the gross earnings for the half-year on the Lucknow and Cawnpore line, 42 miles in length, amounted to £12,848, and the expenditure to £11,688, leaving a profit of £1,160. The capital account showed a total receipt of £1,021,890, and a total expenditure of £460,784, leaving a balance of £564,106. The board bad noticed with regret the large proportion of expenses to receipts, and had urged upon the agent the necessity for the observance of economy. The high cost of fuel had been a principal cause of the large expenditure in working the Lucknow line. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The teaflic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 221 of May amounted, for 27,355 passengers, to £9,109 ; for 2,048 emigrants to £2,127 ; for mails, &c., to £1,233 ; and for live stock a'd 23,010 tons of freight to £16,790 ; total, £29,259, and for the correspondin , week last year to £25,920,.5h0wing au increase of £3,339.
