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 olliceslast absorbed by the company.

September, 1868. In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers, and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and the instruction given will'be confined to an examination of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject. A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes ; and the system of constant ex amination will test, from time to ime, the progress made by the students.

EFFECT OF SHIPBUILDING AND Comm:m—lf is in respect to, the absurdity, as well as the utterly disastrous influence of carrying out the principle of universalaud indiscriminate protection that the illus trations are the most numerous and significant. Inat, indeed, can be more instructive than the lessen afforded by the present condition of the ships building interest and the foreign commerce of the United States? To-day, speaking generally in re spect to ocean traffic, we can neither build, buy, nor sell an American vessel. This result is ob viously due in no small part to the fact that while protecting the ships we have also protected too nearly an equal degree the separate constituents that enter into the construction of ships, viz., the timber, the iron, the copper, the cordage, and the canvas ; and these two agencies have so far neu tralized and counterbalanced each other that neither party, within this particular sphere of industry, has been benefited. TAXATION AND ENHANCEHENT OF THE PRICE OF LUMBER.—We select, as an illustration, the article of lumber, on which the Government levies a duty of 20 per cent., ad valorem ; which rate, by the ad dition of the percentage which the importer almost invariably will add by reason of the payment of the duty, may probably be considered as equivalent at the present time to 20 per cent. Now, the in creasing necessity and use of this indispensable article is such that the demand for the last few years has been fully equal to or has 'tended to ex ceed the supply, which in turn has resulted in con stantly augmented prices ; the price, for example, of the cheapest varieties of lumber in the Albany. New York, market having advanced since 1861 about 100 per cent. The next invoice value of the importation of rough lumber, during the fiscal year 1868, was about $7,500,000 ; while the value of the domestic product for the same period, or that part of it which entered into competition with this fo reign import, may be approximately estimated at 54,000,000. For every dollar, therefore, that is taken in the form of a direct tax, seven are taken indirectly through the increase of prices; or, in other words, $2,250,000 currency are received into the Treasury at an indirect costof about $16,000,000. And this is not all. Thirty per cent. on the in creased price of lumber means 30 per cent. in the increased price of houses, 30 per cent. in the in creased price of vessels, of fences, of railroad ties, and other constructions of which wood is the prin cipal constituent. TAXATION ON PIG IRON.—Again, the article of pig iron agords a striking illustration of an instance where a duty originally levied for revenue and pro tection, or as an offset to internal taxes, has been continued long after its object has been fully at tained, for the interest of the few, but to the detri ment of the many. The existing duty on pig iron is $9 gold, equivalent to over $l2 currency. The average expenditure requisite to produce a ton of pig iron in the United States :to-day may be fairly estimated as not in excess of $26 per ton currency, and in the case of furnaces favourably situated as regards cheap coal or ore, and under good manage ment, the actual cost, could it be truly ascertained, would not probably be found in excess of $24. Now, the selling price of Nos. 1 and 2 pig iron in the markets of the United States at present, and for the last year, liai ranged from $37 to $42 per ton, with a demand continually tending to exceed supply. Under these circumstances the manufac tures of pig iron have, to the detriment of the rolling-mill interest, and to the expense of every consumer of iron from a rail to a ploughshate, and from a boiler plate to a tenpenny nail, realized con tinued profits which had hardly ahy parallel in the history of legitimate industry, the returns of one set of furnaces in one of the middle States, com municated to the commissioner, showing a yearly product of 35,000 tons, on a capital of $450,000, sold at a profit of from $lO to $l3 per ton. The Commissioner, as he writes (November, 1868), has before him letters from the representatives of the bar and sheet-iron interest in nearly all sections of the country to this effect:—" Our works are busy, but not remunerative. The profit of the iron manu facture is all absorbed by the manufacturers of pig metal. Our only hope is an equalization, and in a fair increase of protection by Congress at its next session." NATIONAL RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES FOR TINE CUnRENT FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1869. —For the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, the Commissioner estimates the receipts of the na tional Treasury as follows : From Customs From internal revenue 155,000,000 00 From public lands From miscellaneous sources 30,000,000 00 Total . 5336,700,000 00 The total expenditures for the same period, includ ing $7,200,000 gold paid for Alaska, are estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury as follows : Civil and miscellaneous (includ ing $7,200,000 for Alaska)... $61,227,106 00 War Department (indludmg bounties) 93 219117 00 Nr • ,avy Department 21,604,785 00 Pensions aud Indians 30,358,618 00 Interest on public debt 129,742,814 00 Total 5336,152,470 00 NATIONAL RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES FOR TIIE FISCAL YEAR ENDING THE 30TH JUNE, 1870. —Let us now look forward to the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, the first complete year of a new Administration; and starting with the relation of receipts and expenditures as above, inquire what it is further possible or practicable to accomplish. Such a basis allows us to anticipate a surplus of thirty millions for the year under consideration, with the law and the administration of the law in relation to the collection and expenditure of revenue remaining unaltered; and this surplus, the Com missioner has reason to believe, may be increased through the following agencies :—First. From the certain and continued gain which will undoubtedly accrue to the national revenue, under any circum stances, from the continued increase of the wealth and population of the country. The Commissioner believes he is warranted in assuming that the gain of revenue likely to accrue from the increase in the wealth and population of the United States will, for the present, be at least $10,000,000 per annum. Second. A gain to the credit of the Treasury from the discontinuence of payment through set tlement of the claims of soldiers and sailors for arrears of pay and bounty. This gain, as predi cated on the payments actually made under these heads during the last and current fiscal years, may be estimated at $25,000,000. Third. A gain from a further general reduction of national expen ditures. This gain for the next fiscal year through a continued reduction of the army, reconstruction and pacification of the Southern States, and a greater economy in civil expenditure, and iu the appropria tions annually made for fortifications, ordnance stores, rivers and harbours, a nd private claims, o ught to aggregate at least $30,000,000. Fourth. Gain from the return of revenue administration. Assuming $155,000,000 as the annual average of receipts from internal revenue, as the law and its administration now stand, the Commissioner believes that an increase of $75,000,000 in the receipts as a minimum could be obtained without any practical difficulty. Allowing for all contingencies, it seems possible for the Treasury to have at its com mand at the close of the next fiscal year an avail able surplusof fro be m we s ve l r o , o,o t o b o, at ooo th t e o r s e l.2 s s b ,o ou o l o d ,oo b o e . on the part of the E xecut i ve , It requires, purposeand of the people, a n d a f u ll unity of of Congress, e rea lization of the fact that the work t o b ac complished is of such paramo un t importance that I n tot requireshi nothing else h s a l t ). o t u b l e d a b g e e allowedage n ts wbo to ar i e n t t o er b f interfere, in r ew i t h rtustect swhiat thell be appointed collection aenudsde nw e r t s teure groundsnt ofthe revenuethanthe devotion to party service, the length and number of their campaign speeches, or the amount of money contributed to aid in elections.

It requires that no more money shall be disbursed for the purchase of foreign territory, and that no reciprocity treaty shall be negotiated like that proposed with the Sand wich Islands, the operation of which is calculated to immediately impair the revenue. It requires that there shall be a broad distinction made between the promotion of mere private and selfish ends, and the true protection of American industry. rrE METROPOLITAN CONVALESCENT INSTITUTION.
