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 tho distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the ago 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 happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

The directors havet-eceived 3,212 proposals for assur ing the sum of £972,866 18s. 9d. 2,472 policies were issued, assuring £703,451 4s. and producing in annual premiums the sum of £25,227 Bd. The followinglabulated•returns exhibit the new busi ness transactions during the three quinquennial periods : BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L PORPEITATILE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CEIALLENGEAT3LM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Londoa, 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 41sitrances under thorn which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, 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 time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is ma de iu payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bcaring 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 he 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 thd option of retain ing either an ascortained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in ease 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'Comrrany on these points, as is the case with ordinary assumnee4. 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 bo without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitation;. 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-fire 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 bo 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 tormad 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 any office in the Kingdom.

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.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868 read at the Annual G ene ral Meeting of Proprietors', August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERAL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair.. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual geaeral meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared le _respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. - • SURPLUS FUND AWCOUNT, 30TH JUNE, 1868.

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. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5-} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

Our Rome correspondent has received letters froze Spain stating that the partisans of Queen Isabella are beginning to find the cause of their royal mistress quite hopeless. Isabellaherself is utterly discouraged. Eer agents have travelled the country through, and have spent la'ge sums of money in attempting to get up a reactionary party, but without the slightest profitable result. Don Francisco, the ex-Queen's husband, has for once asserted his feeble authority, and has forbidden any rucre ez:pori snouts of this kind. The cause of Don Carlos, such f. - ,s it ia, has of couranrrospered in proportion as that of Isabella has declined. 110 is now recognised as the Lead of the family by most of the Spanish Royalists. CARLIST RISING AT BARCELONA. The news from the south of Europe is nothing more than an endless succession of plots and conspiracies. There is now no doubt that the Spanish Government has been just in time to prevent a. very formidable outbreak at Barcelona on behalf of Don Carlos. The Inds icadaiwe Beige says that above a hundred arrests were made, two colonels and many other officers of various grades being amongst the number. Some of these officers were employed on active service. The prisoners also include several monks and priests. Arms and documents—brevets appointing officers, bearing the signature of Don Carlos, and decrees nominating persons to the civil appointments of Catalonia—were also seized. Barcelona is in a state of great agitation. The wealthier inhabitants are rapidly seeking a quieter and more secure residence. BELGIIIN. The Belgian Cabinet is in difficulties. M. Bara, the Minister of Justice, recently resigned, not on account of the railway dispute, but because the Senate passed a law abolishing imprisonment for debt. This, says the correspondent of the Herald, has caused serious embar rassment to the Ministry. A crisis is possible, unless M. Barn will withdraw his resignation, and this he de clines to do, unless the Senate, which has shewn personal hostility to him, be dissolved. THE RAILWAY DISPUTE. The French and the Belgian members of the mixed com mission chosen to arrange the details of the settlement agreed upon between France and Belgium, have been nominated. They are all officials connected with the State railways of the two countries. The first sitting will be held in Paris about the 20th inst. THE ALABAMA DISPUTE. Despatches from the British Government have been received by our Minister at Washington, Mr. Thornton, since the rejection of the Alabama Treaty ty the Senate. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that Mr. Thornton, in a recent conversation on the subject, indicated that any further negotiations would have to be opened by tha Government of the United States. This seems to be regarded as the tenour of the instructions received by Mr. Thornton. OUR NEW INDIAN POLICY. The Bombay Gazette is informed that a British president is to be established at Herat. The post is to be filled by Major Pollock, Commissioner at Peshawur. The Gazette very justly terms this " startling news." The project of founding a residence at Cabul was thought bold, but Cabul is at no great distance from the Indian frontier, whereas Herat is far on the other side of Affghanistan, and close to the Persian boundary. Nevertheless, the scheme, if properly carried out, promises some advantages. If wo are to have a resident to watch Affghan politics, he might as well be established at Herat, for there he could watch ,Persian politics alio, and as Persia is in league with Russia—the Shah is • the Czar's vassal, in fact—this point is of great moment. "There can be no doubt," says the Gazette, " that the Ameer's visit to India has offended the Shah ; there can be little doubt, also, that the Shah has a desire to encroach en Affghan territory, and one of the prominent things which the Atneer thought it necessary to seek from the British Government was protection against Persia. It seems that the ex-Ameer and his nephew, Abdool Rahman, the per sonage who was lately defeated by Shere Ali, has escaped and got clear off to Persia, where they are now meditating a fresh raid on Affghanistan with the aid of the Shah. Shere Ali is fully alive to the dangers which menace him, and is making great preparaticn 3 at Cabul. AN INDIAN JOB. The Times of India has been thrown into considerable excitement by the announcement in a Madras paper that Mr. Waymouth Gibbs, formerly tutor to the Prince of Wales, has received the appointment of legal member of the Governor-General's Council in succession to Mr. Maine. The Bombay Gazette calls this a surprising report which requires confirmation, but the Times of India fears that the news is only too true, and that a job is to be inflicted on India. "Nine tenths of the community are consequently asking `Who is this Mr. Gibbs ? ' and the remainder, `What has he done to shew himself fitted to occupy so distin guished and responsible a position?' To both these questions only one answer can be given: ' He was tutor to the Prince of Wales.' It is felt, therefore, that, how ever the appointment may torn out, Mr. Gibbs will owe his position, not to the operati .n of the principle of natural selection, but to Court influence—the persistent pressing, probably, of some half promise made years ago." The Indian journal adds that many admirably-qualified men could have been found, both in England and India, to take this post. There are Mr. John Pruce Norton, Mr. Pitzjames Stephens, and Mr. Hobhouse, for instance. Certainly, if this appointment has been made, there ap pears a just ground for complaint. Maine, author of the admirable treatise on " Ancient Law," we know, and Stephens and Norton we know, but what manner of man Mr. Gibbs is must be left for the decision of time. He is no doubt a gentleman and an excellent tutor, but he is no lawyer, except in the sense of having " eaten his dinners" at one of the Inns of Court. ANCIENT JERUSALEII. There seems to be no doubt that the city of Jerusalem destroyed by Titus remains buried under the foundations of the modern town, and that many most valuable relics may yet be brought to light. The explorations at Jerusalem, under the direction of Lieutenant Warren, are resulting in some highly-interesting discoveries. The city is built upon a bill intersected by valleys, but it is in the depths of these latter that the ruins of the ancient capital of the world are to be found buried under dThris to the depth of thirty, fifty, and even ninety feet. The mode of exploring is by sinking shafts through the mass of accumulated rubbish down to the ruins below. Some fifty shafts have been sunk, and at the bottom of one the foundations of the old walls of the Temple Area have been found ninety feet below the surface. Mysterious characters, at present unintelligible, are to be seen on some of the stones. The exploration of the Birket Israil, or Pool of Bethesda, has revealed a vast vaulted reservoir nearly 100 feet in depth. Its extent is still being investigated. In a part of the Hiram Area a tank mouth was lately entered, and was found to lead to a large structure sixty-three feet long by fifty-seven wide, vaulted very much like a church. There is every reason to hope that the full investigation of these ruins will yield the most important discoveries ; but as every shaft sunk must be lined with wood, and as the wood soon decays at Jerusalem, the work is very costly. It was industriously spread that Fred. Douglass, the great uegro orator, declined to accept an appointment. On inquiry this has proved to be untrue; and people de sire to learn how the report originated, some one having profited by the office it is reasonably supplsed would otherwise have been bestowed on a man so distinguished, representing a body who are now considered citizens of the Union. In a private note to the editor of the Inde pendent, Mr. Douglass says—" It is quite true that I never sought this office, or any other; but it is equally true that 1 have never declined it; and it is also true that I would have accepted it had it been offered." Thurlow Weed has returned in slightly improved health, with his daughter, to New York. According to German statistics, more than 250,000 emigrants left Europe in 1868 to find homes in America. Of these 120,000 embarked at Liverpool, G 6,000 at Bremen, 44,000 at Hamburg, 20,000 at Havre, and about 2,000 at Antwerp. President Grant has made it a rule to receive no callers on Sunday, and has forbidden his Secretaries to bring him any letters or telegrams except on important public business, or in answer to something he has called for For one of the offices in President Grant's gift there aro, it is said, the following applicants : "A Bloomer woman, a loyal negro, a reconstructed rebel, a Repub lican Irishman, a wounded soldier, and a red-hot politi cian." Each of them is "confident of success." Mons. A.
