The interest received dulling' 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 th e 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-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 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Du. LIABILITIES.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- E - 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 thorn which shall be .absolutely Unforfeltable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable.- For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline tnassure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their iirt naitirn§, the Assurance will becom- forfeited. To this . class of the public the system now introduced will cspe cially. commend itself, being entirely free from condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of prethinm, or from- any cther 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 premium paid. b• aring the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre mierna actually pail may bear to the whole number origi nallycontracted to be paid. • resides this-important adVantage, eVery pokey will ex .: pressly gate-What sum can at any time be withdrawn on the dhicontinuance of the assurance. • The assured will thus always have the - option-of retsin 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 aro 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 6 Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be withcni,t 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. The I,•ngest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, n s shown by tho Tables. • Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this dies as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to adva.ocie a. to ni,lutain the full benelit_ of the ns:,llT - ffr-Wr-- - - - -ix matter of great importance- where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as ti consequence of the roPcies under these tahlcs tx1:12; unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will alski be unchalleng. - •able on any pround ‘vbatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security The PRUDENTIAL A - SSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000, a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new It- , innms of any office in the Kingdom.

Later accounts conarm the report that another attempt at alsaasination was made at Moynalty, in .the._,. county of Meath, Ireland, on Thursday evening. It is stated that the outrage was not agrarian, but no motive can he assigned for it. It Appears that Gargan, the wounded man, had been in hells on Thursday afternoon, and returned home about nine o'clock. He was in the act of opening the gate leading to his dwelling at the entrance of the demesne of Mr. J. A. Farrell, in whose service - he was -steward, when a shut was fired from a blunderbuss, pointed through ausperture made in a hedge which - skirted a plautatiOn:a";:ilre other aide of the road. The Weapon had been charged with slugs,, three of which took effect, one entering his left side through the ribs, another passing through the left arm, and the third glancing off his angers. Ile was able to reach his house, and Dr. Ringwood was promptly in attendance, and the slugs having bcen.extracted, Gargan is now progressing favour ably. The deliberate malignity of the attempt was illus trated by a little incident. It n - as found that a temporary fastening had been put upon the gate, through which Le was to enter his house, in order that while he stood to open it the assassin might have a more certaiu aim. It happened that the stratagem failed, for Gargan's wife, feeling uneasy that he did not return as early as she expected, went down to the road to make inquiries, and removed the fastening. Information was speedily con veyed to the police, and seven persons were arrested on suspicion who had been seen - gambling on the road, a short distance from the scene of the outrage, but who appeared to take no notice of it. A private investi gation was held by the magistrates, the result of which was that six of the party were discharged, and the seventh,. a lad named Lynch, was remanded for furthervamina- . tion. One of the circumstances in evidence affecting him is the fact that some footprints seen about the spot corres pond exactly with the marks in his shoes. Ile is a son of a herd on the estate. UNDERGROUND TEMPERATURE. The temperature inside the earth has of ten been a matter of speculation. Mr. G. J. Symons, the celebrated authority on rain and rainfall, has been investigating the subject. He has, like so many others, found success in the failure of others. He has carried en his experiments at Hamp stead. When Hampstead was one of a series of pleasant villages (in the days of Henry' III.) the Hampstead Water Works Company was formed. The supply of water, of course, in time grew unequal to the demand, and a new well was sunk into the chalk to the depth of between 500 and 600 feet. Again, the demand exceeded the supply, and the company, taking the professional advice tendered to them by a number of geologists, sunk an Artesian bore through the centre of their well to the depth of a quarter of a mile, expecting to find water in abundance in the lower greensand. Into this the Waterworks Company bored in 1F53 ; they reached the depth of 1,02 feet, sunk nearly , 1 8,000 iu two years, found, strange to any, no lower greensand, unfortunately, no water, and became ruined.. The property passed eventually into the hands of the New River Company, who kindly and most liberally at once accorded to Mr. Symons the permission he soughtto conduct a selit.S of thermometric experiments on the abandoned . site. Mr. Symons soon erected a hut over the well, and fitted up a snug little observing-house. At the British Association meeting at Dundee a committee was appointed to investigate the temperature of the earth at great depths. Mr. Symons is a member of that coin mittec, also Sir W. 'lliornson, who moved for its- appoint ment. Upon the solution hang certain mattersof contention between Sir William and Professor Huxley as to how far underground temperature may be made to test the age of the world. Mr. Symons's experiments arc not yet con cluded. The results so far he regards as decisive. He has made gradual observations down to a depth of I,IOJ feet, and has ascertained that the temperature there is 20 degrees higher than above ground—that is to say, the thermometer shewed 70 degrees, whereas the mean temperature of London is: .50 degrees. If this rate of increase continues, as there seems no reason to. doubt would be the case, boiling point (210 degrees) would be reached about a mile and a half down. At present, however, Mr. Symons is at a standstill ; he has literally stuck in the mud. About 200 feet of blue-black deposit has accumulated at the bottom of the tube, and . into this the thermometers cannot. penetrate. Of course the learned society under whose an l / 4 piccs the work is being prosecuted will forbid such an i.,;l,uminious termination of a valuable investigation, the like of which has never before been attempted. WIRE TRAMWAYS. -.D.- We have already yen ouift - 2,iders some particulars of the wire tramway, the "aerial" railway as it is called, or, as another speaks of it, "a railway without cuttings, em bankments, tunnt.ls, viaducts, or bridges, no matter how Lilly the country to be traversed." The Dail) Nara gives some further information concerning this new invention. The wire tramway provides a simple and cheap substitute for a Hue of rails. The wire spans Aver and evades obstacles in place of burrow. ing under or levelling them, and will perform its task as easily along a rugged tract of country as on the imootbest road. The experiment being now prosecuted with complete success between some Leicestershire stone quarries and a railway station three miles distant consists of an endless wire rope, supported on a series of pullies carried by substantial: posts, which are ordinarily about 150 feet apart, but the interval between which may be greatly extended, as is shewn in one case where the span from post to post is 600 feet. One of the ends of this rope passes round a Fowler's clip-drum, worked by a portable steam engine, and this drives the rope at a speed of six miles an hour. Boxes are hung on the rope at the loading end near the quarries by a pendant which is ingeniously arranged to preserve a perfect equilibrium, and at the same time to pass without hindrance over the supports. Each of these boxes carries one hundredweight of store, and the delivery is at the rate of 200 boxes, or 10 tons per hour for the three-mile distance. Already wire tramways on the Leicestershire model are in course of erection in France, Italy, and Spain. Negotiations are on foot, too, between the Turkish Government and the engineers here, and it is not improbable that this generation may see goods carried by wire as commonly as messages. The tramway is, indeed, not unlike an exceedingly stout electric telegraph. The most important point in Mr. Hodgson's invention is his method of passing the points of support, which consists in so curving the frame of the truck or box as to make the centre of gravity come under the rope. So admirably is this managed that some of our leading engineers have been discussing quite recently the possibility of constructing a stout wire tram way between Dover and Calais, which should be sup ported from a line of pillars sunk in mid-ocean, and along which passengers could be conveyed. The. cost would be comparatively small, and suspensory trains could, it is argued, be despatched across _the Channel without difficulty or danger. Where heavy loads must necessarily be carried a pair of stationary sup porting ropes, with an endless running rope for the motive power, are employed, and by these means as many as a thousand tons per day can be easily conveyed. The cost of erecting these tramways in England, and of supply motive power and rolling stock, is from £250 a mile for carrying fifty tons a day, in boxes holding half a hundredweight each, to £1,500 a mile for one of the double rope lines, to carry 1,000 tons a day, in boxes or trucks holding six hundredweight each. For all districts where there is traffic, but where it would not pay to construct a railway, the wire tramway is pal ticularly applicable, and, as will be readily under stood, wherever there is standing-room for posts, there a line can be erected. A recent application from traders in copper for putting one up for them which should run through an African forest, and over an African jungle down to the coast, illustrates the varied circum stances under which the new system of transport may be applied. 1711 E HARVARD BOAT.—The four-oared boat in which the Harvard crew will row their international races arrived from Greenpoint, L. 1., on Saturday.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT ALDERSHOTT.-4 serious and singular accident occurred on Monday at Aldershott. Some movements were being executed by two brigades, the heavy brigade consisting of the sth and 7th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Colonel Caithorpe, and the light brigade, the Gth Inniskillingsand the 10th Hussars, under Colonel Baker. The colonel was making a dashing charge, and when near the north end of the valley, Brigadier Baker ordered his brigade to retire by column of troops from left of 'line. As this movement was being executed, Brigadier Calthorpe's brigade was coming on at a gallop, and before the rear squadron of Inniskillings could clear the front the left squadron of the 7th Dragoon Guards rode upon the flank of the rear squadron of the 6th Dragoons. A fearful crush was the result, and a number of men were put hors de combat. Private Thomas Keetley, 6th Dragoons, had his skull and ribs fractured, and but small hopes are entertained of his recovery. Some eight or ten privates were also seriously injured. Horses belonging to each regiment, having their legs frac tured, were shot on the field. The men injured belonged to C Squadron, 6th Dragoons—Squadron leader, Captain A. F. Stewart ; and B Squadron, 7th Dragoon Guards-- Squadron leader, Captain D'Olier George. Medical aid was at once procured, and the wounded men conveyed to hospital. A court of inquiry into the matter will be held At once. e g '6l 3 -r2 .2 q 1853 1863 1868 4,802 13,244 17,466, 3,318. 9,740 13,690
