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. per 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. 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 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 p^omulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many parsons Irssitato 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 bacome 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 Fame time it absolutely guarantees at d3cease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium. a fixed num in respect of every pentium paid. b , acing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid nosy boar to the whole number origi rally contracted to Fe paid. Besides this impoutnet alvantege, every popsy will ex pressly state whit sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assuraree. The assured will thus a!ways 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-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Tttil, 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 -nacos— ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any f.;round whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absoluto Security Policies. The I'IIIIDENTIAL 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.

Amid a scene of unusual excitement, the House of Lord have declared for the disestablishment and disendowmeat of the Irish Church by a majority of 33 votes. It hadbeen arranged between the Earl of Beesborough and Lord Colville of Culross—the " whips " of the respective parties —that the division should take place at three o'clock this morning, and almost exactly at that hour Earl Granville finished his spirited reply, and the result was immediately taken. At the commencement of the debate last night, the same degree of excitement was not visible as on the three preceding evenings, and both inside and outside the House a certain amount of languor prevailed. This was, perhaps, partly due to the fact that the adjournment of the debate had been moved by the Bishop of Lichfield, who has not yet won his spurs as a Parliamentary orator. Another reason given was a rumour which was floating about the lobbies to the effect that, in consequence of the many " big men" who wanted to join in the debate, the division would not be taken until Monday or Tuesday night. It was generally believed that the Government would get a majority, but whilst the Conservatives estimated that the bill would be carried by a majority of two, the friends of the Government were sanguine that the number would be either ten or a dozen. This state of uncertainty prevailed throughout the evening, and tended in great measure to keep up the intense excitement which did not culminate until the votes were announced at ten minutes past three this morning. By five o'clock the attendance of peers was exceedingly numerous, but several seats were vacant on both sides of the House. On the Ministerial bench sat Lord Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Earl Spencer, and the Earl of Kimberley, facing whom were Lord Cairns, the Earl of Derby, Lord Chelmsford, the Earl of Malmesbury, and the Duke of Marlborough. The Duke of Cambridge occupied his usual place on the cross benches, the Prince of Wales (who came in during the time Earl Russell was speaking) sitting next, the only other occupant of this bench being Earl Grey. The ladies once more assembled in strong force, their vari-coloured dresses forming a pleasing contrast to the sombre hues of the conventional black in which the peers were attired. On the clerk reading the order of the day, it was with a feeling- of -satisfaction La the majority of those., present that Bishop Selwyn gave way to Earl Russell, who, although far from being a brilliant orator, is always listened to with the respect due to such a veteran Reformer. It has been noticed that during the debate the noble earl has been flitting about from place to place, now taking his seat at the table by the side of Lord Redesdale, and anon transferring himself to the front Ministerial bench, from whence, after engaging in a short chat with the Government leaders, he would again change to the cross-benches. Last evening he rose from the front Ministerial seat, and after one or two preliminary observations, immediately dived into his subject. Considering his age, the noble earl was exceedingly spirited, his principal aim appearing to be to demolish the arguments advanced by the Bishop of Peterborough. The Duke of Abercorn followed, and then the Duke of Argyll took up the cudgels of the Government during the dinner hour. But it was not until Lord Westbury ros3 to deliver himself that the debate, which had somewhat dragged, began to assume a more lively tone. It was amusing to notice the countenances of Mr. Gladstone (who was standing at the bar) and the Bishop of Oxford as the noble and learned lord described himself as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, and after wards went on to express his great devotion for arch bishops and bishops. Lord Hatherley made a trenchant speech in favour of the bill, which may be regarded as one of the greatest successes achieved during the debate. And then rose the leader of the Opposition - -Lord Cairns—who generally speaks more like a lawyer than a parliamentary leader. For the first half-hour he evidently laboured under the depressing influence of impending defeat ; but about one o'clock he warmed to his work, and from that time until half-past two he carried the House with him. His peroration was delivered with great energy, and when he sat down he was honoured with continuous cheering both from his own side and in the galleries. Lord Granville's wind-up was exceedingly brief ; but he appeared to feel confident of victory, and therefore did not occupy the time of the House with a detailed answer to the various arguments brought forward by the Opposition. Then came the division. It was noticed that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the Bishop of Oxford retired from the bishops' bench as soon as Earl Granville resumed his seat, and although they did not leave the building, yet they abstained from staying within what is known as the House proper. As soon as the numbers were announced, loud and prolonged cheering burst from the Ministerial benches, which was taken up by several hundreds who had assembled in the lobbies. Several members of the Westminster " Working Men's Constitutional Associa tion" afterwards amused themselves with groaning Liberal peers and cheering the most prominent leaders of the Conservative party. The Duke of Argyll was obliged to appeal to the police for protection, and Earl Spencer retreated by a private_ passage, allowing his carriage to be driven away empty. Of course, Lord Derby came in for an ovation, as also did the Duke of Marlborough and Lord Cairns. It was broad daylight before these enthusiastic politicians left the exciting scene, and not till four o'clock did the Peers' en trance,which had been crowded for so marry hours, once more assume its usual quiet appearance. I may mention that Lord Stuart de Decies, whilst on his journey to London, was attacked by illness in Ireland, and thus prevented from recording his vote in favour of the second reading of the Irish Church Bill. Lord Methuen voted, although his uncle was lying dead ; and Lord Lyttelton returned from his honeymoon in order to record his vote in favour of the bill. Only one Conservative paired for the second reading Viscount Stratford de Redeliffe ; and it may be stated as a sin gular fact that the Duke of Bedford paired in favour of the bill—the first time the noble duke's name has ever appeared in either a division-list or among the pairs. It was stated last week that the Earl of Roden had paired against the bill ; this must have been a mistake, the noble earl's name being conspicuous by its absence. Mr. Gladstone is in high spirits at the result of this morning's division. A different result would have led to an agitation that would have made him a popular idol. But to a constitutional statesman there are higher things than popular applause, and harmony between the two branches of the Legislature and the success of a great measure of justice are among them. I am able to state that the Government will shew all the deference they can to the wishes of peers who supported them so effectually in the division, and that every consi deration will be given to the amendments which their lordships may suggest. The New York papers have been publishing every day reports of the debates in the Lords about the same length as the reports published in the English provincial papers. New Yorkers would learn at their breakfast-table this morning the results of this morning's division at West minster. Mr. John Morley, editor of the Fortnightly Review, and recently unsuccessful candidate at Blackburn, is, I learn, about to undertake the editorship of the Morning Star. The change can hardly be otherwise than beneficial to that paper. I have just received news of the death of Mr. Charles Sturt. He was one of the earliest explorers of Australia, and subsequently became colonial secretary for the pro vince of South Australia. He was accompanied on his explorations by Mr. Brown, a gentleman who emigrated to Australia thirty years ago, and is now one of the wealthiest colonists in that country. During one of their journeys the two travellers were nearly starved, and after great reluctance followed the example of the natives who accompanied them, and feasted off a snake, which they found to be most excellent eating.
