Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of tho Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 : 1. The sum of .£412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, 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. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM. —On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happe n . INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF' CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTOLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London, S.W. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London E.L. 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 1 ...eon of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfoitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on th e groun d that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre- miunis, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe daily commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of n on-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 su m can a t an y 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 tl the d urat i on of the p o li c y, such amounts bei ng set forth on every Policy, an d rendering unnecessary any future referenc e t o the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring tile 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 th e habit of ma ki n g advances c o ll a t era ll y secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, a of Policy of this description. 'Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to Y o y azio residence, or oth er usua l --, ore restrictions of all ki n d s limitations. By this freedomsffrig; 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 p o licies of this class as security, may always know the utmost a mount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great imp ortanc e w here 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 bo 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 positi on is nil. questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. ROYALA.D. 1720.

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 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 £5 12s. por 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. Tho 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 officoslast 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.

E.C. ~ ~ . \--.--'''; FOREIGN NOTES. ?R ALABAMA etAIMS. Mr. J. Lothrop Motley will, we are told, bring with him a new Alabama policy. Mr. Reverdy Johnson's treaty is regarded as dead, and the new plan will be demand for payment of the claims, and also the acknow, ledgment by England that she was wrong in recognising the belligerent rights of the Confederacy. This demand will be pure and simple. No commission, or arbitration, or other formalities will be tolerated. Such are the best. founded rumours in American circles. But it is one. thing to make these pure and simple demands and another to get England to meet them. The recent articles in the English newspapers have been reprinted in America, and have excited much attention. One would have thought that the unanimity of the British press on the subject of further concessions would have demonstrated to the Americans that there is a point be. yond which we will not go. But they are of opinion that the more they bully us the more we shall yield. OUR POLICY IN CENTRAL ASIA. Dr. Vambery writes to the Times from Pesth touching the meeting of Shere Ali and Lord Mayo at Umballa. He quite approves of our interference in Affghanistan, thinking that it has been delayed far too long. It is essential, too, if we would secure the friendship of the Affghans, that they should be well paid. Hence the grant of £120,000 and some weapons annually is well advised. But in return for this money and goods we ought to have some thing more substantial than words and promises. England must make good her footing in the country which will soon have to serve as a buffer between Russia and India, and in order to do this three consulates ought to be esta blished at Cabool, Herat, and Candabar. These comm. lates ought to be regular British agencies, presided over by officers of ability. They will be useful in respect (4 trade, but for political purposes they are indispensable, ~ -~✓ /i / WAR OP EXTERMINATION IN CUBA. Like all civil wars, the Cuban revolt is being conducted with exceptional ferocity. The responsibility of the earliest excesses must he laid to the Spaniards themselves; for it has long been no secret that the volunteers at first gave no quarter. All insurgent prisoners were shot until the arrival of General Duke, who forbade such cruelty. Whether he has perfectly succeeded in asserting his autho- rity in this respect is doubtful ; but it is certain that the in surgents have not been slow in retaliation. The Madrid correspondent of the Liberte states that the struggle has now assumed the most sanguinary and merciless cha. racter. Every Spaniard taken in arms is doomed. At Mayari fifty-two were hung. On the River Sagua the crew of a Spanish vessel were all massacred. From Sagua-la-Chica the Spaniards have fled, and what was once a city is now a desert. As to the fate of the Cuban prisoners, it appears that if they are not shot they are banished to Fernando Po. Here they are imprisoned without food ; their families being informed that they must support them, for the State will not. The corres pondent of the Liberte confirms the reports of American aid. One general has landed with 250 men perfectly equipped, and has already commenced operations. THE CROWN OF SPAIN. Dom Fernando has once more risen in popular estima- tion as the probable successor of Queen Isabella. One of the Madrid papers has affirmed that a considerable majo rity in the Cortes might induce him to take the Crown, and that such was very likely to be the issue. But the Lisbon journals, of March 30th, publish a letter from a Portuguese Minister, stating that in no case, large majority or not, would Dom Fernando take the Spanish Crown. The Madrid correspondent of the Independana Belae thinks that this settles the question. HE HUNGARIAN ELECTIONS. The composition of the Hungarian Diet is now well nigh complete. The Deakists have a majority of 63 on all Hungarian questions, besides which 30 Croatian deputies will support the Government on Croatian questions. But though the Red party is still so far behind, it has largely gained upon the Government. It is now 170 strong, whereas in the last Diet it numbered no more than from 110 to 117. Advanced opinions have clearly made great nrogress in Hungary. THE LATE RITUAL TRIAL. The Bock says: "We are informed that th• proctors of Mr. Mackonochie have requested the Church Association to compromise, for little more than a third of their amount, the cost in which the defendant was condemned. In accepting the pro posal to release Mr. Mackonochie from a heavy pecu niary burden proof has been afforded that the object of the Church Association i s t o v i n di ca t e principles." There is such a thing as making a virtue of necessity, and we suspect that the Church Association has adopted that course. The intimation that Mr. Mackonochie would, if necessary, go through the Bankruptcy Court, has produced a satisfactory effect upon the Association's lawyers. They would hardly have been so modest if they had known that their bills would be paid by the English Church Union. THE LANDED GENTRY. Attention is again called to the continuance of the influence of the landed gentry in political matters. Notes and Queries some time since published a list, chewing that the same names which composed the list of the Long Parliament of 1640 are in many instances to be found in the list of the present Par liament. The same journal now compares the first Irish Parliament —of which there is a complete list, that of 1613—with the present one. A. Burke then sat and now sits of Galway County ; a Kavanagh then represented and now represents Carlow; a Nugent then held and now holds the seat given by the county of Westmeath ; and a Power then was, and a De la Poer now is, member for Waterford. Besides these, the familiar names Annesley, Barry, Bingham, Brady, Dalway, Hamilton, Kavanagh, Pollard, Trevor, and White, with more than forty others, appear in both lists. THE COLONIAL SOCIETY. There has been a meeting of the newly-formed Colonial Society, at which several well known poli ticians spoke. The principal point discussed was the military relation between the colonies and the mother country. The Marquis of Normanby said that if we left the colonists to fight their own battles we ought to allow them to fight in their own way. He thought we should have had fewer Kaffir wars if the colonists had been allowed to deal with the Kaffirs as they had liked to do. He held that the colonies were well able to defend themselves. Sir William Denison sympathised with the Maories, and thought they had been hardly treated. At the same time it was a pity they had taken to eating white men: Lord Alfred Churchill thought that discharged soldiers would make capital colonists, and that settlements of such might be formed advantageously. . At the same time he considered that the presence of soldiers in New Zealand had been most disastrous, the sight of i a red coat having the same effect upon a Maori as upon a bull. Mr. Arthur Mills said that the policy laid down and acted upon by the House of Commons was that the Imperial Treasury was to be drawn upon to protect the colo nies from any consequences of imperial policy. So long as England continued to hold the command of the seas so long would she hold her colonial empire. Sir Francis Mucks had always entertained the opinion that there was n o thi ng t o p reven t an e t erna l con nection between the colonies and the mother country. He thought that the best way would be for England to leave the defence of the colonies to themselves, and, if necessary, to give them for a time some pecuniary assistance. In a multitude of counsellors there is said to be wisdom. But every rule has its exception. If we were to listen to the counsellors of the Colonial Society, we should allow our colonists, in gratifying their land-hunger, to inflict any amount of wrong-doing upon the aborigines. It was this land-hunger which originated the Kaffir and the Maori war. No doubt when the colonists were at war the Imperial troops did them little service. But as was pointed out at the meeting, war ought not to be considered the normal condition. We have to consider what shall be our relations with our colonies when there is peace. There can be little doubt that we cannot let them have their own way with the native populations. All experience, from the time of Sir Walter Raleigh down to the Aborigines Protection Society, proves this. The aborigines are the Queen's subjects, and must be prote c t e d, if ne c essar y, aga i ns t their fellow subjects A TELEGRAPHIC FEAT. Between two and three o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, 24th March, the House of Commons divided on the second reading of the Irish Church Bill. At six o'clock of the same morning, the Now York papers, thanks to the energy of the New York Associated Press, came out with the result of the division, with a summary of the debate which preceded it, and with a description of the scene of excitement which followed it. This is the most rapid feat of journalism which has yet been accomplished; and even with the largest faith in the development of mechanical science, we do not see how this feat can be greatly surpassed, even though that which men c‘h ave d on e is but an earliest of m the things w tli a a n t ee th f e o y r shall do."
