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 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 X 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 bi per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Da. LIABILITIES.

JOHN H. MCLAREN, Manager. JOHN B. JOHNSTON, Secretary in London. e o • ( of Overend and G urne y directors by the Lo ...Mayor, last Wednesday, on a charge of conspiring to defraud, is the great event of the week in London. To understand the feeling excited in the city the position of these gentlemen now to be tried on a criminal charge should be known. They were at the bead of the greatest discount house in the world; their name, like that of Rothschild, was synonymous with wealth ; they were city dignitaries ; they were county magnates, combining an overwhelming influence in Lombard street with vast estates and princely establishments in Norfolk and other English counties. The nett profits from their bill-braking business alone exceeded £120,000 a year on an amount of paper annually discounted of between fifty and seventy millions sterling. No business is held to be more safe only requiring a keen knowledge of the men with whom to work. It appears almost incre dible that a sober, respectable firm so long, so well, and even grandly established as to have become an English institution, should have deliberately left their broad, smooth, easy path of fortune for the tortuous, miry, intricate byeways of speculation, chicanery, concealment, and ruin. The world, how ever, furnishes examples in such numbers that people ought not to be surprised at any case crop ping up, and, after all, they are easily explained. A long tide of prosperity gives security, security causes neglect, and neglect, where large sums of money are concerned, leads surely to dis aster. The Gurneys lived .ou their estates in the enjoyment to be derived from their high position, leaving affairs at the " corner house" to run on in the well-worn groove. They were con tent to receive reports from those they trusted, in stead of going through the labour of investigating and working out the figures for themselves. The profits for the senior partners were ample, but probably there were those below in whose hands then lay the power who desired to increase these lit4fits so as to leave a larger tuargip,for th • t,:;• ,• inire — pirirciiriVitibut the s Perioa o t.O change in their business, was infested with a class who called themselves financial agents mere sharpers and adventurers whose business it was to procure funds for contractors, for schemes in a state of collapse, for bubble companies, and the endless varieties of conspiracies against the pockets of the public. These were the most prominent actors in all the seoundrelism which in so short a time has fixed a stigma on the commercial cha racter of England, ruined thousands of families, and dissipated countless millions. When the Li mited Liability Act was passed the City to them became a field of golden harvest. Companies by the hundred were formed, directors procured, secretaries appointed, and the different enterprises launched. The public now find it difficult to understand what could have become of the money paid up on the shares of these companies, and how the enormous liability beyond that was incurred. L2t them imagine a comfortable back office in which si.s a secretary of one of these companies and a financial agent. " I assure you it will be a mine of wealth," says the latter, " we only need the few thou sands I mentioned. Of course, there will be ex penses in starting the company, and we can afford £2,000 to you to be used as a portion of the Pi e liminary Expenses." From that moment it becomes the interest of the secretary to further the scheme. What lie has to do is to carry one or two of his directors, as he calls them, with him, and presently a portion of the shareholders' money has been ex changed for worthless paper. Indeed it would be well if these men stopped there, if they did not pledge the credit as well as dissipate the funds of the unfortunate persons who trusted them. Does it surprise, that secretaries with no character or stand ing in the commercial world, dealing with the money of persons unknown to them, should frequently have given way to such temptation, when we see a pros perous, old-established firm like 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., thus ruined. They left the vital interests of the business in the hands of those open to such temptation, and the tcmi ters come like maggots in neglected cheese. They grow there ; and men who, but for the neglect, might have remained honest, fall. It was au easy matter for the firm of Overend, Gurney to make larg.e profits from their honest bill-booking business ; but it was not an easy matter once they got off the track to get back. It is -a fatal delusidn to sup pose that they could try a speculation and throw it up on finding it did not answer. A lady might as well begin the process of being made " Beautiful for ever," and abandon the glorious vision at the threshold. The folly that brought her there would carry her through, and all the more surely that she had overcome the shame and repug nance of the first step. Once Mr. Edwards was admitted, the result could not be doubtful ; but we are appalled at the swiftness of the ruin. Mephis topheles, at least allowed Faust to realize his fan cies, though they were mere delusions, but these financial agents gave nothing. They were dis graceful to come in contact with, they were not even alluring further than their lies could colour attractively the sepulchre. They worked on the broad principle, that all men have their price, from kicks to halfpence, and they considered that it was an exception rarely to be met with when the price was not half-pence. What gave these men their strength was that generally they dealt with persons managing companies who only disposed of the money of others, and unfortunately for the gentle men committed last Wednesday, unfortunately for the large body of shareholders upon whose heads fell the consequences of their neglect, this firm prior to the conversion of the business had allowed itself in a great measure to drift into that category. The public appear to be astounded at the evidence wrung from such men as Edwards. Why, it is a notorious fact, known in every bank parlour that the city was filled with such men, and one of the hardest tasks of honest banking and financial establishments was to fend of their attacks ; the more so, as at that time competition for business was strong, and they often could get the ear and support of some one influential in the establishment. We desire more to allude to the cause of this extraordinary failure than to touch on the case, which must be tried in a criminal court; but, from the examination before the Lord Mayor, the public can form a broad opinion of the circumstances. The first thing which strikes us is, that the men who wrought the ruin have escaped, and the men who trusted them are the victims ; and t this has been almost invariablytheeonreuerlens. Thee in h collapse of all these Joiut - Stock Gurneys trusted to others, and they te w betrayed ; the public trusted Gurneys u and y to the have smarted for it. The means and agency were employed t as ts, r t u h i a n t ed the ne s a a r m ly e all the Joint-Stock concerns wh i n which thefailed sayingduring the crisis, which may be explained that they "fell among "Incredible I" exc laim the shareholders , "that men in their senses s hould do such business." Let them inquire what h o w they distributed the the secretaries got, and • ht and simple path to the truth. who are gazing in astonish ment Let the shareholders , go moneyo n t f h o e r straight g th e incredible business, and they g at the mad management, take the hint, and they will find out ttat it was not such pure folly after all, for while they are now tramping through the mud the men who really managed are rolling carriages among the " s we ll s " of Rotten-row. We say, again, let them w h en in easy they desire to be on the right road, inquire in this direction and prosecute these inquiries with as little mercy as these men have shown them. But we fear to US3 a vulgarism they have now " got the wrong sow by the ear," though it is more than probable that the trial may direct them aright, and we can only regret that the prosecution does not go a step higher to the source •of the evil. Through great individual suffering good can scarcely fail to result, and the catastrophe oc curred to the house best calculated to point the moral so sharply that it penetrates every breast ; for, when the Gurneys are sent by the Lord Mayor for trial in a criminal court, who are the commercial men in the metropolis that endeavour to make the public atone for their own neglect of business who can hereafter consider themselves secure ?—Anglo- American 7 Imes. rflIE WELLINGTON, 54, St. James's-street, S.W.
