On Tuesday the opening services were held in Pandaff Cathedral after the restoration, when the Bishop of Oxford preached the sermon. After the service the Bishops of Oxford and Bangor were entertained at luncheon by the Dean and Chapter of Llandaff. The Dean made an eloquent address ; and alluding to the threatened separation of Church and State, said he thought it would he far more injurious to the State than to the Church. Such apprehensions should not, Le thought, hinder men in their gifts to their Church, or dishearten them in their labours. The Establishment might fail, but the Church could not. The Dean concluded his address with a fervent appeal for unity, saying that as the English Church had always held men of varying opinions within her pale so she should do so now. This was the last occasion on which ho should address a public assembly, and the last words he would leave on their ears were. "Our safety is in union ; our certain ruin in division and in strife.'

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet 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 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 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 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. 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 be absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. 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 theifpre 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 decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum fa respect of every premium paid. bearing the same 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 fiard 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 aszurrug the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as oue 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 a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will bo 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. The 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 Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary J.:Ladd thqt, .4 consequence of the tables being. tinforfei*- 1 - 1 - •,,,,,n -ditional, they will also be uncludiengeablo 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 bniinPss of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY II ARB EN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of tho Great Northern Railway Terminus, King's Cross. Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN. Vice-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, B.G. President— isGrace the Duke of BUCCLEtieII, K.G. 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 I :er 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 averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The 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. ContribtAions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch - lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co.; [lorries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Paytic,, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co.,:Barners-street ; and at the Hospital from 10 till ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW. The business connected with the Royal Agricultural Show at Manchester is gradually getting into shape. The trial of implements commenced on Tuesday beforo a good muster of spectators. The mowing took place on land lying near the Altrinclunn Railway, and the reaping wagon a farm near Stretford. The grass on which the mowing implements were set to work is a stiff and old seed grass, that would be easily mowed by almost any implement, and will not there fore enable the judges so to discriminate as to lead them to make a final selection. Some of the machines will leo selected for a second trial, where there is softer and better - grass. The crop on Mr. Taylor's farm is a light barley, perhaps scarcely ripe. The competition amongst the reapers will be an exceedingly keen one, and the extent to which at will go may be judged from the fact that the judges have se lected 84 machines for trial, of which 25 are combined reap ing and mowing machines ; 13 are reaping machines, with self-delivery in swathe; 18 with self-.delivery in sheaf; nine are without self-delivery, and 19 aro one-horse reapers. All the principal makers are represented, and the competition will occupy the whole of the week. Twenty-five mowing machines were selected for trial ou Tuesday, and for each machine half an acre of land was allotted. Messrs. Hornsby and Sons, of Grantham, com pete with new patent Manchester mowers. Messrs. W. Wray and Son, of Bedale, with a machine made entirely of iron. Mr. Walter A. Wood, with two American mowing machines. One has two driving wheels, which are fur nished withintornal gearfordriving the cutters. One of these wheels has stationary arms, and the periphery and geartnrn round the arms on friction roller; and the bar is placed opposite the centre of the driving wheels. In this machine the cutters are fixed ou the top of the knife bar, and can be raised or lowered by a lever worked by the foot. Mr. A. 0.. Bennett, of the Vale of Mowbray Work; Thirsk, competes with a two-horse mower of his own invention. The frame is constructed of wrought and cast iron, and the machine has a large swivel wheel. Messrs. Samuelson and Co., of the Britannia Ironworks, Banbury, compote with a new patent grass mowing machine, arranged on a new principle, so far as the draught is concerned. The draught chain is attached to the pole bracket at a point below the attach ment of the pole to the body of the machine, and that point is so adjusted as to neutralise the downward strain on the pole. Mr. James lligson, of Manchester, and New Hall Farm, Pendleton, competes with a two-horse mowing ma chine invented and manufactured bY Kearsley, of Ripon. Ia this machine the knife works on plates of steel, and has a particular lowness of cut. The driver has every part of the machine under the control of his right hand. Messrs. Wilber, Stevens, and Co. of Poughkeepsie, New York, com pete with a two-horse mowing machine, called the Eureka, which will probably att.act as much attention as any machine in the fields. The wheels aro large and sot at the back of the ends of the cutter bar, which is directly in front of the machine. TLe cutter bar is six feet long, can be set to any required height, and can be raised by the driver to pass obstructions. The machine has no bovil gearing, cpur gear being used throughout. The "pitman" works at right angles with the knife, consequently there is not the jar which is found in all machines where both aro in the same line. It is always in the same relative position to the knife, and works equally well whatever the position of the cutter bar. The horses are placed far apart with a long neck yoke, and the machine is driven backwards and forwards on the same Fide of the piece. One horse walks in the stand ing grass entirely beyond the cut, pressing it down in the direction from which the next cut will bo made. The other walks in the cleared track, outside the standing glass. Messrs. Burgess and Key, of London, compete with a now mowing machine, in which an entirely new arrangement is adopted. The frame which carries the gear work is placed outside the travelling wheels, and traverses the clear track between the cut grass and tho standing crop. This plan admits of the cutter bar projecting nearly in the same line as the axle, and enables it to follow the undulations of the ground. Messrs. J. and P. Howard, of Bedford, compete with two patent ltraish behind the wheels and attached to th 3 strong iron frame work by a drag-bar, that can be controlled by a lever. The makers claim that this form of construction is very advan tageous when the mower is changed into a self-delivery reaper. Mr. William Lewis, of the Salopian Ironworks, Shrewsbury. competes with a new "Star" combined mow ing and reaping machine, made entirely of malleable iron or steel. It is mounted on two strong wheels, both of which combine in driving the knife. The finger bar is of steel, perfectly flexible, and so constructed that tho driver can by the aid of a lever, and without leaving his seat, raise the bar and allow it to pass over obstructions. Messrs H. and G. Kearsley, of Ripon, compete with a new patent mower (No. 185), which has all its working parts encased in iron. This machine won the first prize at Berlin last year. THE ROYAL VISIT TO MANCHESTEE.—The arrangements in connection with the proposed visit of the Prince and the Princess of Wales to Manchester next week have already undergone some alteration and modifi. cation. It is understood to be the wish of their Royal Highnesses that their visit should be considered as much as possible in the light of a private one, and therefore much of the public display, such as triumphal arches and similar demonstrations of loyalty, will not be encouraged. The day has also been changed for the visit to Manchester from Tuesday to Wednesday. A PARISH MARL —The Birkenhead guardians (the Liverpool Mercury says) have been sorely troubled by the vagaries of a sable mare which they purchased some time ago, chiefly for the purpose of drawing the workhouse hearse. This eccentric animal, which is familiarly known as " Black Bess," has, since her connection with the work house, behaved in a most, reprehensible manner, for (and here we are simply quoting the language of one of the guardians), whether on a mis sion of pleasure or a journey to a funeral, she has invariably come to grief. One of her last exploits was to capsize the hearse whilst on a journey to the ceme tery ; and as such outrageous conduct as this was simply intolerable, thoughts of getting shut of her altogether entered the heads of several of the guardians. The matter was discussed at a meeting of the board on Tuesday, and, after the tricks and caprices of the mare had been duly recited by a gentleman familiar with them, the guardians resolved to dispose of her as soon as possible. THE EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES IN THE Housx or COMMONS.—The select committee appointed to inquire and report whether any further provision should be made for the examination of witnesses on oath before the House of Commons have agreed to their report. Both the Speaker and Viscount Eversley are of opinion that " the power of examining witnesses on oath is one which the House ought to possess," and that procedure by bill would be the proper course to take for obtaining it. Sir Thomas Erskine May is of the same opinion. The committee, therefore, recommend that provision should be made by Act of Parliament for conferring on the House of Com mons the power of examining witnesses on oath, and that' the said power be further extended to select committees whenever the House in its judgment shall deem fit. A bill introduced by Sir John Esmonde has been read a second time and referred to the committee, who approve its provisions. TESTIMONIAL TO GENERAL PEEL.—A testimonial dinner was given on Wednesday afternoon in the Corn Exchange, Huntingdon, to the Right Hon. General Peel, on his retirement from the representation of the borough, of which he has been one of the members for upwards of thirty-seven years. The company, numbering nearly 200, was presided over by the Right Hon. the Earl of Sandwich, and amongst the guests were the Duke of Manchester, Mr. Fellowes, M.P., Mr. Foster (the Mayor), &c. Mr. Baring, M.P., was unable to be present, in consequence of the death of Lord Taunton. The memorial formed a beautifully illuminated volume, which included the names of the subscribers to . . the testimonial. It was at first intended that the testimo nial should consist of a handsome piece of plate, with a suitable inscription, but General Peel stated that it would be most agreeable to him that the money raised should be devoted to some additional accommodation for patients, or in some other way for the benefit of the County hospital. The committee had therefore placed at the disposal of the trustees of the hospital a sum suf ficient to purchase £l,OOO Consols, hereafter to be called the " Peel Testimonial Fund." General Peel, in a speech of considerable length, thanked all present for the honour which they had dune him, and assured them that although separated from. them politically he should always feel a deep interetit iu everything connected with the borough with whic4he had so long hAd_the honour to be connected.
