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.

THE LIVERPOOL TRAMWAYS COMPANY An extraordinary general meeting of this com pany was held at their offices in King-street, Cheap side, on Tuesday last—Mr. N. R. Vail in the chair. The contractors, Messrs. Fisher and Parrish, reported that the line from the Adelphi Hotel to the borough boundary is finished, and that the entire line, running from the Adelphi Hotel, down Lime-street, Church-street, and up Elliot-street, back to the Adelphi Hotel, will be completed this week. Ten of the car riages are now in Liverpool, and others will be forthcoming as the traffic requires. The contrac tors expect to have the road ready for public traffic within a month from the present time. Owing to the company not having earlier obtained the ne cessary land for stables, Messrs. Fisher and Parrish have been obliged to make use of temporary build ings for that purpose. The land, however, has now been secured, and the contractors will com plete the permanent erections in three months. In reply to Mr. Fox, a director, who asked what length of time the traffic was obstructed during the construction of the road, Mr. Fisher said it was not obstructed for one moment. They commenced the road on the 12th of July last, and but for an unavoidable delay on the part of the corporation contractors for paving the line would have been ready for opening by the first of October. A shareholder having inquired what arrangements had been made for the management of the road when opened, the Chairman stated that the con tractors were largely interested as shareholders, and that Mr. Parrish bad consented to manage the road until the directors could make other arrange ments, and ho thought they could not be in better hands. Some other business of a formal character was disposed of before the meeting dissolved. Commissioner Delano has determined to tho roughly sift the income assessments, and to this end had appointed a large number of assistant assessors, whose special duties will be to reassess incomes. Commissions have already been issued, and the work will commence la the large cities immediately. LADVERTISYMENT.

It is difficult to estimate the extent of the obstacle to trade presented by the condition of the gold market,at New York. Ever since the passing of the Legal Tender Act gold has prese n t e d th e widest field for spec u l a ti o • A. , and the extent to which this speculation "A u been pursued, by legal and illegal means, has been made known from timo to time by the violent fluctuation and panics that have periodically taken place in New York. Under present circumstances it is impossible to avoid Chia„ speculation in gold. The metal itself has now become % mere article of merchandise, and has, for all practical purposes, lost its distinction as a circulating medium. All transactions take place in greenbacks, which have a forced circulation, and which are inconvertible into gold. To this, however, there is the exception of dealings with the Government itself, in which case it is required that all, import duties aro to be paid in gold. This fact should new.* be lost sight of in dealing with American finance, e nd the omission of its consideration always leads, to incorrect, if not ridiculous, infe?cnces. For instance, as import duties are payable in gold, the imports themselves are entered at gold values, whereas the values of the y exports are stated in currency, which necessarily involver, a deduction of between 30 and 40 per cent. on the latterin any dealings between the two countries, that representing the present depreciation of the forced papercurrency. It will be at once apparent that the fact of gold being aily in request for the payment of duties, &c., that the gold market at once assumes a most important character, antra position perhaps more important than the extent of - the legitimate transactions carried on in the gold room warrant. But the fact of violent fluctuation at times taking place has led to operations of a very different nature, and of the most speculative kind. The supply of such an article as gold is necessarily small, for even the wealthiest corporations could not afford to hold any considerable stock of so valuable a commodity, and, accordingly, con-, tracts are entered into for forward delivery, sometimes at lengthy periods. These contracts become again the sources of speculation, which becomes more, extravagant until a collapse —sooner or later, inevitable— occurs. As a rule, we do not find the gold operators_ defaulters. Their system is a very complete one, and the advantage of ;combination has long been apparent to all, engaged, and it is this combination for the purpose of "rigging the market " which has brought the Gold Ring into such unenviable repute. The difficulty presented by this state of things is very great, and no ready remedy is apparent for it. It is an absolute necessity for the American Government to possess a large stock of gold, for the interest on a large portion of their debt, and on the whole of the debt held abroad, is payable in coin, and it is for this reason that the import duties aro made payable in gold. Were the Government to receive the duties in currency and purchase gold according to their requirements, the confusion ensuing would pro bably be even greater than it is, and there is no doubt that such a course would cause great loss to the Exchequer. We, therefore, regard the collection of the import duties in gold as unavoidable, and the fact of this creating a gold market is unavoidable also. Nevertheless, if the American Government adopted a less cumbrous system of finance, the inconvenience resulting from this state of affairs would be greatly modi fied. The sales of gold by the Government are not sufficiently heavy to check the operations of speculators, but if the Government had a State banker, or made use of the national banks, AS depositaries of their balances, the gold in the Treasury—now upwards of twenty millions sterling— would not be withdrawn_fram_the market at all, and would, by creating a greater feeling of confidence, have the immediate effect of lowering the gold premium. We do not say that this:would meet the whole requirements cf the case. But it in well known that the American Govern ment have no banker, and that the withdrawal of their large balances from circulation is the source of great em barrassment to trade, and is utterly opposed to all eco nomical principles. The London correspondent of the Elgin Courant states that Mrs. Leigh's children aro commencing an action for damages against Macmillan's Magazine, and they might perhaps Iry for an injunction against the publication of any thing further from Mrs. Stowe. The British Medical Journal is glad to know that, although Mr. Gladstone still, on medical advice, declines to add any avoidable engagements to his necessary and most onerous duties, yet his health may be considered fully re established. Ile is no longer under medical treatment, and is strong enough to take exercise most freely. Mr. Robert Barnes, of Manchester, has intimated his intention not only to purchase the Cheadle Hall estate and present it to the trustees of the Royal Infirmary, for use as a convalescent hospital, but to supplement the purchase money to the extent of .£IC,OOO, for the purpose of rondering the place thoroughly suitable. The Sporting Gazette says that Mr. Alexander intends to bring forward a resolution at the next meeting of the Jockey Club to do away with all selling-by-auction raceP, the abolition of which will be a great boon to owners of horses, who, to a man, are anxious for this much-desired reform. Whilst " settling" in the Subscription Room at Newmarket on Friday morning, Mr. Newhall left his scat at the table, on which was £2OO in notes, for an instant to speak to a bystander, and on his return the " flimsies" had disappeared! All inquiries and search for the missing property, we need scarcely add, proved unsuccessful. Mr. Gordon (says the London Scotsman) will pro bably succeed Mr. Moncreiff as Dean of the Faculty of Advocates. Their aro no direct emoluments attached to the office, but to receive the appointment is a direct testimony from the bar of the pre-eminent legal and personal attain ments of the gentleman appointed. It carries with it im portant privileges as to precedence. The Railway News is informed that the directors of the Hudson Bay Company will, at tho meeting to be held next month, recommend the distribution of the sum of £300,000, received from the Government of Canada, among the shareholders, which will give a distribution at the rate of £3 per share. The report will show very satisfactory results of tho trading operations of the company. Speaking of the cruise of the combined fleets, the Globe says the Hercules proved herself by far the most economical in fuel of the entire number of vessels, as the following figures, giving the total amount consumed by the different ships, on the passage from Lisbon to Queenstown, will show:—Hercules, 113 tons; Monarch, 201 tons; Agin court, 226 tons ; Morthumbrian, 211 tons ; and Minotaur, 248 tons. The case of Mr. Leonard Edmunds will come OR in the Court of Arbitration (Court of Common Pleas, West minster Hall) on Thursday, the 21st inst. The Court will sit de die in diem, and there is now every prospect of this protracted litigation, which has been going on for nearly six years, being brought to a close. The arbitrators are the Hon. G. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. C. Pollock, Q.C., and the umpire, Mr. blanisty, Q.C. A baby show took place at Penistone, a village in Yorkshire, last week, and, according to a local paper, attracted a large number of people to witness it. The first prize was a plated teapot, for the finest baby under twelve months old; second price, a large gas lustre, for the best dressed baby ; third prize, a set of jewellery, for second best dressed baby. It is worthy of note that only nine infants wore placed in competition. The steamer Viking, bound from Archangel to Dundee, with a cargo of flax, was wrecked on Kinnaird Head, near Fraserburgh, early on Friday morning. A tre mendous gale was blowing from the north-East at the time. The lifeboat was launched and the crew were got off and brought safe to land. The value of the ship and cargo is estimated at about .£50,000. The owners are insured in Hull. The vessel was only launched this year by Messrs. Gourlay Brothers. It is stated that arrangements have been made by the Great Eastern Company with Mr. Pepper, the agent of the company, by which the loss which the company would sustain 1)3 his bankruptcy will ultimately be fully covered.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Li FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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, i n; ne 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 forfeituro 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 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 fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording to 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 voyasring, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this - freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will bo 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 ni 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 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 an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.
