The Canadians are rapidly realising the effects of tke now policy adopted by the mother country towards her colonies. It is clearly seen that the British American provinces must for the future assume responsibilities which have been borne hitherto by England ; and the Time c. con espondent notes that in Canada this policy is cheerfully accepted, and every effort is being made carry it out. Earl Granville has informed the colonists that for the future they must pay for their own defences. What the English Government might do in case of a great war is another question ; but a permanent force cannot be kept in Canada at the expense of the British taxpayer. Earl Granville says in a despatch : "In the opinion of the Secretary of State for War any body of men who are to be a charge upon the Imperial Exchequer ought to be a body raised for the general service of her Majesty, and not limited either by conditions of enactment or by prac ticable necessity to any particular colony." On this prin ciple most of the forces in Canada are to be withdrawn, as well as a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The colonists cheerfully accept these increased responsil.ilities. Of course nothing must be done hastily. The Dominion is of enormous extent—measuring 4,333 miles between its extreme points—and it is as yet thinly populated. Like an infant, the bones and muscles of the new State must become solidified before it can run alone, but, with Impe rial assistance, the people of Canada are getting their Government into working order as rapidly as possible. They are, says the 2'iics correspondent, anxious and willing to bear their own burdens in due time.

THE SAN JUAN DWFICULTT, Ever since 1853 a question has been open between the British and American Governments respecting the frontier of our possessions at the island of San Juan, British Columbia. By the treaty of 184 G the boundary between British America and the United States was defined to be through the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Island ; but the difficulty is to determine in which part of the channel the line is to hs drawn. The Canadian delegates appointed to settle the transfer of the Hudson's Bay territory have addressed a letter to Earl Granville entreating him not to give way on thin point. They affirm that the object of the United States Government is to draw the channel line so as to " get possession of the important military position of San Juan, where they may build a fortress that would lock up the Strait of Fuca, and over look British Columbia as effectively as Fort Montgomery. built on Canadian territory, surrendered to the United States by the treaty of 1542, now locks up Lake Cham plain, and threatens by its proximity and magnitude the chief city of the Dorhinion." The delegates add that in several instances during the present century the English Government, in a spirit of concession, has given up impor tant tracts of country to which the Americans had unjustly laid claim. They allege that the State of Maine, by A recent treaty, had been thrust like a wedge between the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, interrupting direct communication, and covering 8,000,000 acres pre viously regarded as British territory, and occupied by thousands of British subjects. The delegates earnestly hope that such a blunder will not be repeated on the Pacific frontier. We must, in short, insist upon retaining the position of San Juan.

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 idea 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. 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.

FREDERIC ANDREW Secretary . roultryr Ludo, LQ. geptaaber 1868.. A BSOLUTE SECURITY I'OLICIES, UN FORPEIT.ATILE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CITALLENGEABIA issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSIMANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, 11. 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 promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeiteble, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate 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 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 forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same timeit absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pletnium 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 fiacd 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 lungest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest fivo years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always knew the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assuran3es—a matter of great importance whore policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, sa a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, 1 hey will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security l'elicips. 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 Oleo in the Kingdom.

I WAGES IN CANADA: Senator MTberson, of Canada, has been making a carefully-prepared speech to she►v that the rate of wages to working men is more remunerative in Canada than in the United States. Perhaps the actual sum paid is higher in the latter country; but the cost of living is very great, is increasing, and so is taxation, whilst wages by no means rise in the same proportion. Altogether, the work man is better off in Canada than in the neighbouring country. Our irrepressible countrymen are too much given, when they go out West, to rushing to the United States as the most likely place to find a fortune. They might as well look at what there is to be got in Canada. THE CARLISTS IN SPAIN. - It is now certain that a plot has been preparea for Carlist insurrection on a large scale in Spain, though the scheme must have been largely frustrated by the numerous arrests which have been made. The /Valeria/ Diplo mative assures us that the plan of a' s-- rising, headed by Don Carlos, really does exist ; but cash 'is scarce, and the attempt may therefore be regarded as a failure beforehand. "We know positively that unsuccessful applications have been made by agents of Don Carlos to French manufacturers of arms, to whom drafts, signed by the Duke at six months' date, were offered for the purchase of a considerable quantity of military stores. All those firms have declined, and there is no doubt that similar replies will be received from the English and Belgian houses to which similar offers ar now 1 elng made." TILE CRISIS. It is amusing to notice how the party journals see in the compromise only that which t .ey desire to see. The Liberal_ journals discover only that the Lords have caved in; the Conservative journals are equally one eyed and ere cognisant only that Mr. Gladstone's bluster has ended in knuckling down. A few hours ago the position was very different. Then each party was exaggerating the stiff neckedness of its opponents, and throwing upon the other the blame of the impending crisis. That was a condition of affairs full of danger. It is far more satisfactory to find the rivals disputing as to which has shown the greater amount of conciliation, and each, not claiming it for itself, but imputing it to the other. When both parties have had time to cool clown a bit, they will see that there is nothing to be ashamed of in yielding so far as conscience permitted them to do so. It is stated that Lords Granville and Cairns were not the only parties to the agreement by which the Irish Church difficulty was settled. It is hinted that it was suggested by Mr. Disraeli—who has always wished the question out of the way —and it is stated that the Attorney-General for Ireland and Dr. Ball represented the Commons. The result of the conference between Earl Gran ville and Lord Cairns has somewhat surprised the Tory press. They represented the Government as caring little for the Irish Church Bill or its success this session, but as being most anxious for a collision between the two legislative assemblies. Now that the Government has shewn—as the Marquis of Salisbury adniitted—that it does want the Irish Church Bill to become law as soon as possible, and that it wishes, if in any way possible, to prevent the slightest ill feeling between the two Houses, the Standard and the Ifera'd are casting about them to find in some way how to reconcile their comment with the facts. It may be as a result of this editorial difficulty that our contemporaries come out with a declaration that there are dissensions in th,3 Cabinet, and that the two chief men in the Ministry have been outvoted. Mr. Gladstone, " the arrogant one," insisted that there should be no concessions, and wished to have fulfilled the "threats in which some of his organs had indulged." In this course he was of course supported by Mr. Bright, and by others whose names we are left to guess at. But there are, ,happily, still, says the Standard, some Liberals in office who respect the Constitution, the prerogatives of the Upper House, and themselves, and these Ministers—a majority of the Cabinet—would have no such high-handed dealing with the Lords. Messrs. Gladstone and Bright, therefore, had reluctantly to concede; and the result is that the bill will pass during the present session. INDIA OFFICE, 29th J anuar y, 1869.

A story is going the round of the papers which will, we suspect, raise that blush upon the cheek of the Premier which rises when men do good by stealth and find it fame. It is stated that just before he gave his reasons in the House of Commons for dissenting from the Lords' amendments to the Irish Church Bill he was found by a medical man in a house in one of the most squalid courts of Gray's-inn-road, and it appeared that he had been a frequent visitor at the bedside of a dying pauper. This is the way in which the Premier prepared himself for battle. And this is the man whom his opponents have called arrogant, Judas Iscariot, and of whom a minister of religion said that h e oug h t not to be hanged. be cause hanging was too good for him. THE HEALTH OF THE PREMIER. Mr. Gladstone, we regret to state, is sufferin t; a slight indisposition. It is somewhat surprislb a that men so continually worried and worked as the Prime Minister preserve their health so well. It is, doubtless, with much satisfaction that he knows that the great question of the day is practically done with, and that the end of the session is close at hand. A NEW KNIGHT.
