The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. bd. The directors draw special attention to the fact the t 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.

To this class of the public the system now introduced will esp , •- ciall3 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 .do-. fault is made in payment of the premium. a fixed sum In respect of every pentium paid, by aring 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure I will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fix ,-Al 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 astairing 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 f t o h r i ef s irgo p nm l a rre n ess w i dt r i e l in l e t6i b eo, e nos w roo i f t t it ha o el u lr t kuis a nu n da y sl lciomnidtiattiioonnss.as By oyvtohyisag freedomi ng, • 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 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 to add that, as a consequence of the policies -under these tables being unforfeitableand uncon ditional, they will also be unchalletageable on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo 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 business of any office in the Kingdom.

On the other band, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5.

Some very definite details of the Milan 1t areappla by the Pungolo. It appears that some person—who is ' unknown, and probably desires to remain so—supplied the first intelligence to a general of division, who of coarse communicated with the prefecture. The authorities at l o i n ea c n e commenced m in an v w es h ti o ga c t a io ll n e s d . h ß im u s t e o li n G e ohfisatihbeerßtie,paunb a who had once been a major of the Venice National Guard, made off. It is not known how he received intelligence that the plot was discovered. He left behind him, however, thirty-four bombs, a quantity of powder, a plan of the residences of the civil and military officers, a strategic scheme for the assault of several important buildings, and a key to the jargon of the conspirators. Amongst his papers were a few lines without address, recommending one Bettin as a safe person to deal with. Mazzini bad given this man instructions, which were to be communicated to the Milan leaders. A list, bearing the names and-addresses of a number of officers, had been drawn up by a non.commissioned officer, who has been arrested. Fifteen persons altogether are in custody. In PaEs this conspiracy is regarded as a very serious affair. Certainly the details reveal a deep and elaborately orga- nised plan. But the 200 men of poniards are somewhat mythical ; and even the letter from Mr.mini is not suffi cient, says the Temps correspondent, to thoroughly impli- cate him.

On cemparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 Bs. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

The Brussels correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that the colliers who have struck in the district of Mons have signed a petition asking for the annexation of Bel gium to France. Either this writer must have been gulled or the workmen must have become insane. If they are badly off in Belgium, they would find themselves in a worse case in France. In the latter country the strike would probably have terminated ere now by all the colliersbeing ordered back to work. In Belgium the Government interferes only to keep order. The workmen have at least liberty to do as they please with their labour. And it is gratifying to learn that, after the first riot, they have Made no ill-use of their freedom. They will not, however, go back to work. A few have indeed done so, but a fresh strike at several collieries has made good this defection ; whilst at many of the largest establishments not a single man has gone in. It is a deplorable struggle, and it seems likely to prove utterly unavailing. RESULTS or ARMED PEACE. There is a turn in the tide of British partiality for lending money to foreign countries. The market has been so swamped with foreign stocks that these usually lively investments have become noticeably languid. The new Spanish Loan has been offered at an extraordinarily low price, and yet can with difficulty be kept at par. The last Russian Loan has met with a very unfavourable recep tion, though Russia for several years past has been the favoured land of the investor. What is the meaning of this loss of credit ? Simply that capitalists are becoming seriously alarmed. The States of Europe, whilst proclaiming peace, never cease to prepare for war. Year by year immense sums are borrowed at increasing rates of interest. There can be but one result of this suicidal policy. The bondholder will be robbed in some way; either by direct repudiation, or by taxing the coupons, as in the case of Austria and Italy. Hence capitalists are beginning to declare that they will lend no more. THE PRICE OF AGGLOMERATION. The representatives of the small States in the North Ger man Con federation are beginning to discover that the privi lege of being the satellites of Prussia is not to be had for nothing. The North German Parliament has just been con fronted with a demand fora tax on brandy, with the gratify. ing assurance that this will be speedily followed by imposts on petroleum, gas, beer, bills of exchange, and stock transactions. It is the old story. Naval and military expenses have caused a deficit in the Worth German Budget, and these taxes are to restore the equilibrium. The glory of what the French Emperor calls " agglomera tion" becomes more and more costly. SETTLEMENT OF TILE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Constitutionnel announces that the negotiations between France and Belgium are terminated, and that settlement has been agreed upon. On Monday evening or Tuesday morning a convention was to have been signed by which certain principles were to be laid down "relative to the establishment on a scale of the greatest magnitude of an international service, tariffs, and in short everything relating to the traffic between the two countries." The Constitutionnel adds that these details will, as a whole, be equivalent to the ratification of the contracts with the East of France Company. But it would seem that the contracts have not been ratified—the French company has not got the leases. The semi-official paper thus admits that Belgium has held out agail.st the demands of France, eff friAl(t l ,'"iio% exact truth on this point. The convention between the two Governments relates only to general principles. . Details will be left to a mixed cominissior. PENNI - POSTAGE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMEItICA4 Mr. Revcrdy Johnsonbas placed in the hands of the Earl of Clarendon a copy of a despatch by Mr. Seward on the subject of cl►eap ocean postage. Mr. Seward is strongly in favour of the proposed reform. He says : " The mend Postal Department of the United States has al ways favoured the establishment of cheap rates of letter postage between this country and Great Britain and Ireland. The Postmaster• General is gratified that this reform is advocated by statesmen so well quailed to appreciate its importance, and trusts that they may be successful in inducing the General Post Department at London term seut to a further reduction of the rate of international letter postage to the lowest practicable standard." Un fortunately the besetting vice of English reform is slow ness of movement. When the present convention between England and America was negotiated, the postal department of the United States advocated a reduction of the exist ing rate, but the British Government urged the everlasting `• To•morrow." Our Postmaster-General declined to make any reduction, but engaged, says Mr. Seward, "to take the subject into consideration at the end of twelve months from the date at which the convention took effect." Mr. Reverdy Johnson is also strongly in favour of a penny Postage. THE PACIFIC RAILWAY. The great line of railway joining the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will be completed within a week. The two companies, which have been working so long in opposite directions, have at length met. A junction has been effected at Promontory Point, in Mormon land ; the line is complete, and will soon be ready for traffic. Tho style of its construction is by no means all that could be desired, and fabulous scandals are afloat respecting the Union Pacific Company, but the work is, nevertheless, stupendous achievement. WAR WITHOUT FIGHTING. A singular " strugg,la is still being prolonged in South America. Spain and the Republics of Chili and Peru are at war, but during the last three years no fighting has taken place ; nor is it likely that another shot will be fired. Of the many foolish wars which have been undertaken in modern times, this was, perhaps, the most absurd. The Chilians and Peruvians could do nothing against the Spaniards. The Spaniards could only send a fleet many thousands of miles to batter down the ports on the west coast of the South American Peninsula, without deriving the slightest benefit from the destruction. And though this profitless labour has been abandoned for the last three years, and the Spanish squadron withdrawn, peace has not been concluded. But the absurdity of the situation has at length produced its effect. Though these sensible nations will not end the war, they are determined to enjoy all the blessings of peace. The Peruvians have given the Spaniards to understand that they may trade at the Peru vian ports, provided that no vessel enters with Spanish colours. The standard of Castile must be hauled down, and the national flag of Equador—which is on good terms with Peru—must be substituted. No doubt the Spaniards will fall in with this suggestion. Very pro. bably Chili will follow the example of Peru. The war then may be looked upon as terminated without a treaty of peace. COURSE OF EXCHANGE. Amsterdam - - .
