The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are loss 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 aro loss 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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 absolutely 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 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 decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pentium 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 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 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 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. 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 aro 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 unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses a❑ 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.

Ransom and Bonverie, 1, PalhmalL Sec., Smith. Esa. GEO. REID, Sec. Some five or six years ago, the Leamington Local Board of Health conceived the idea of utilising the sewage of that town. This sewage was conveyed to some ground near the river Avon, and there treated with milk of lime and ashes. It was thus converted into a heap of black stinking mud, which was heaped up for two years and • then sold at ls. per ton. Rather a poor result for so long and tedious a process. Nevertheless, the purchasers of this manure paid ls. per ton too much. The fertilising properties had been entirely dissipated, and the residuum was simply worthless. In June 1868, Mr. G. W. Wigner, a chemist of Camberwell, together with two gentlemen named Sillar, took out "a patent for deodorising [ sewage for manure." The patent consisted of collecting . the sewage in tanks, and of mixing with it alum, blood, L clay, magnesia, managanese, burnt clay, chloride of sodium, animal or vegetable charcoal, and ma.gnenian limestone. Mr. Wigner was the discoverer of the process, and Messrs. Sillar assisted him in developing it. The unsatisfactory result at Leamington had naturally dis gusted the Local Board, and so when Mr. Wigner pro. posed to take their works off their hands and relieve them of all trouble about their sewage, at the same time guaran teeing that none of it should pass into the river, the pro. posal was accepted, and the works came into the possession of Mr. Wigner and his friends last Lady Day. They formed a limited liability company, under the name of the Native Guano Company. The shares have been taken entirely by Mr. Wigner and his friends. But if, as they hope to do, they extend their system to other parts of the kingdom, they will increase their organisation and apply to the public for the pecuniary means necessary to give it full effect. The population of Leamington is about 20,000, and the sewage averages 600,000 gallons a day. From this fire tons of solid manure are extracted. How this is done we will now explain. The sewage first passes into a pit eight feet diameter, and eighteen feet deep. In this pit is an agitator worked bysteam, which, revolving rapidly, breaks up the solid lumps. On either side of this pit is a smaller one containing a mixture of alum, blood, and the other materials mentioned in Mr. Wigner's specification. In these smaller pits are wheels with small buckets attached, which, revolving, convey the mixture by a slender stream into the sewage pit, at the tate of two gallons per minute to 700 gallons of the sewage. Each of the two pits contains a day's supply of mixture. The mixture and the sewage now form one black fluid, which, if put in a long narrow glass, quickly precipitates all the manurial ingredients to the bottom. Before the chemicals have been added no such deposit takes place, but the water remains thick and dark. The precipitation affects not only the solid but the liquid excreta, and thus renders the deposit much more valuable. After mixing, the sewage passes into large tanks. The tanks continue filling for about a week, until the deposit is seven feet thick. The water is pumped off in about an hour, and the mud in about a day and a half. Let us first trace the progress of the water, remem. bering that the great problem is to restore it to the river free from impurity. It is conveyed by a canal which tra verses the ground several times, for a length of 800 feet, and resembles the mica levels of a Cornish china•clay work, There are five weirs, an inch or two in depth, so that a slight fall is maintained. At the highest level the water is still impure, but by the time that it reaches the outlet of the lowest it is quite clear, and, save for a slightly saline flavour, due to the soda and other materials used in the domestic washing of Leamington, is tasteless. In fact, this outcome of the filthy Stygian stream that we saw a minute before is far purer than the river itself. Fish live and thrive in it, and twenty-two perch and dace have been caught there during the course of a single day. The average of organic matter left in this water is about two grains, as compared with I'3 grains in the best London water and about five grains in the East London water. Returning to the sewage, we find that the great difficulty is to pump it out. When we remember how small a matter will choke a pump, we can easily imagine that it is no easy task to suck up and discharge, inter atia, the six barrels of old handkerchiefs and clothes which are brought down by the sewers every day. Six pumps were tried and discarded. At length one has been found to do the work. It is of eight inches diameter, and is supplied with india-rubber valves. This succeeds in swallowing and disgorging handkerchiefs and all, and ejects the horrible-looking black liquid mud into a cistern. Beneath this cistern are two "baskets," large iron cylinders, with very fine copper gauze round the circumference, and in the centre a spindle, which, by a series of connections and wheels, each increasing the velocity as it gets farther from the steam engine and closer to the" basket," revolves the " basket " with fearful rapidity, so that the circumference travels at the rate of four miles a minute. The centrifugal action thus evolved forces the water through the gauze, to be carried off in the way we have described, and leaves the manure the consistency of clay. It is dug out with a spade, carried away in wheelbarrows to the outer ground, where it is spread out in layers of about two inches thick, and is then plentifully sprinkled with sulphuric acid, in order to fix the ammonia. In fine, bright weather a single day will suffice to dry the manure, but two days are the average time. The next stage is to convey the dried manure back within the buildings, and there riddle it through sieves. It is then reduced to the condition of the ordinary manure which is sold by merchants. The penul timate stage is to heap it up in large piles, where, if it remains for a fortnight, it becomes so heated in the interior of the pile that the manure cannot be held in the hand. This heating rots the hair and the handkerchief*. Finally, the manure * is packed in bags, and is then ready for sale. By that time it has lost all but a very slight odour, though it must be confessed that the works them selves are a purgatory for the nose, and one is not surprised to see employers and employed vigorously puffing away at pipes or cigars. The manure thus derived contains 4i per cent. of ammonia as compared with 11 per cent. in guano. But the difference in price far more than compensates for the difference in strength. The best guano costs at the docks about £l7 per ton ; the "native " guano is delivered at Leamington Railway Station for £3 10$. per ton. The process has been in operation too short a time to say whether it will answer the purpose it is intended to serve ; but the company are selling it as fast as they can make it, the yield being about five tons a day. The works are well worth a visit, and the unpleasantness derived from the odour is not much worse than an experienced traveller has encountered in many a town on the Continent. PROPOSED VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES TO IRELAND.—A Dublin correspondent says that it is very confidently stated, in quarters which ought to be well informed, that their Royal Highnesses the Prince and the Princess of Wales intend to honour Dublin with their presence at the opening of the Great National Horse Show, to be held on the premises of the Royal Dublin Society on the 10th of August. THE NEW ENGLISH PRIMA DONNA.—The saying of a famous author, to the effect that its writers make the glory of a nation, may be extended in these times to its artists as well. It is a matter of some national interest, therefore, to know that the reproach to which England has too long been subject, of not having produced any female singer of the very highest class since the now remote days of Miss Paton, is likely to be effaced at last. Miss Dove Dolby, the young English lady who made her debut some weeks ago at Padua amid the acclamations of an enthusiastic audience, pursues her career triumphantly. Il Nuovo Trovatore and all the other Italian journals be. stow the highest encomiums upon her performance in the " Hugenots " and "Don Carlos," praising her voice as of matchless brilliancy and power, and her acting as full of grace and impassionment. In fact, she seems to have created a perfect furore wherever she has appeared. She of course sings in Italian, which language she has mastered to the complete satisfaction of her critics, "native there and to the manner born." HOW BARNUM GOT UP A BABY SHOW.—When the speculative Barnum determined to hold a baby show in New York, he caused himself to be arrested for kissing a mother. His defence, when he was brought before a magistrate for this offence against good morals, was that he had been searching high and low for beautiful babies, and that at last he had found one so exquisite that, carried away by a feeling of respectful admiration, he had kissed the mother for the sake of her infant. Mr. Barnum was fined one dollar, and an account of the trial appeared in every newspaper in the land. The speculation proved a successful one, the show went on for several days, and during that time the part of Broadway in which " Barnum's Museum " is situated was almost blocked up by the carriages of those who were eager to see the infant whose charms were so wonderful that the heart of the great Barnum had been vanquished, and be had forgotten the citizen in the man. When the exhibi• tion came to an end Mr. Barnum explained to his gulled but admiring fellow-citizens how, by the expenditure of one dollar, he had realised several thousands. We recom. mend this story to those who intend to follow the example of the impresario of the exhibition of babies at the North Woolwich Gardens, for we hardly think that on their own single merits, such exhibitions are likely to be remu. nerative.—Dally News. On the Ist of January, 1869, there were 42,255 miles of line in the United States, the cost of which, at $44,000 per mile, equalled $1,800,000,000.
