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 happen.

Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an oh 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 i p n ers t r e s e h ve e n si t ta o t f o in o - r decline to which shall be absolutely U n f or f e it a bl e, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. the For arsesausroen onreferred ro t u o n d that, ny ability or unwillingness to continuo 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 df forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; whil e a t t h e same , time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the pre m i um, a f i xed 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 fixed sum payable at dece a s e , or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording b the duration of the Policy,. such amounts being set s eh o r t r the Company on these points, as i s th e a Creditors assuring th e lives of debtors will appre c i a t e futurefwith f o e n re e n v c e ordinarye r y t o assurances. ring unnecessary any Policy, and rendering this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitali s t s , an d others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any ti me l earn, b y mere inspection, the exact value, either immed ia t e or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every iolicy issued on this plan will be witho u t any conditions as to voyaging , foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom fr om re strictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely rem ove d, and the Policies will becom e at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foreping 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. Thus, b an k ers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cl ass as secur i ty, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full b ene fi t o f t h e Assu rances —a matter of great importance whore policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that , as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitabl e an d 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 position is un questionable, and it obtains . the largest a moun t o f new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

I 1 / i il.,' ‘ 1 , 112 - 1 / v " __._/ tITE EUROPEAN AND NORI7I AllitlaCAN RAIL WAY. The follosvine letter has been addressed to the Editor of the ilnp?o- A merfcan Times:— SIP.,-1 read with much interest the article in a late number of the A nglo-American calling the atten tion of your readers to the European and North American Railroad, now in process of construction, and more than half completed, between 'Halifax and Nova Scotia, and Bangor, iu the State of Maine, United States of America. As I have been over that ground several times as far as Shesine, and up the north shore to Chatham and Newcastle on the Miramichi R ver, allow me to add a few obser vations, by way of expanding somewhat your c)gent article. The distance between Halifax and Bangor is, as you state, 45S miles. The road for more than one half of this distance is now completed, and trains of carriages running regularly over it, and all but about one hundred wiles will be finished by next autumn, and the remainder is under contract, and will be pushed to completion early in the com ing year, 1870, when there will be a continuous line of railroad frotu Halifax, the most easterly available point on the Atlantic Ocean, stretching across the American continent for over -1,000 miles to San Francisco on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. The completion of this road will reduce the sea voy age from the shore of the old world to the shore of the new from nearly 3,000 to about 1,700 miles, and will save over 30 hours, two business days, in time. In au international point of view, as a means of bringing two great and enli ; htenel nations into more close relations with each other, and as a means of more rapid transit of the mails, pas sengers, and light valuable freight to their several places of destination the enterprise is one of an exceedingly interesting and important character,-and highly worthy, on this international ground, of the - encouragement and support of the people of the two countries in preference to enter prizes having a mere local interest. But aside from this broader view, which should not for a moment be .lost sight of, the enterprise is one of strong local interest, and one which promises to be amply re munerative to its stock and bond holders. The people of the United States and the people of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward's Island are now closely connected by fre quent personal and social intercourse, and by a large trade and commerce. This trade and com merce, it may be said with the utmost certainty, is sure to increase, and become more and more im portant to each of these countries as they increase in population and their resources become more and more developed in each succeeding year. The latest statistics on this subject within my reach are those of 1867. During that year the United States re ceived, at a specie valuation, products of the British North American Provinces to the amount of $33,600,000, and sent to them nearly an equivalent value, making the trade of these provinces with the United States about $60,000,000 per annum, while their entire trade with each other, back and forth, for the year 1865, the last return I have seen, was but $5,670,340. About one half the trade which these province): have with all nations and people is transacted with the United States, where they find their nearest and best market. When a treaty of true reciprocity is again established, and such a treaty is sure to be formed at no distant day, this trade will increase far more rapidly than it has under the discouragement of the last few years. Canada and New Brunswick lie contiguous to the United States, Nova Scotia is separated from theta by New Brunswick, and Prince Edward's Island lies along the eastern coast of the latter. For a large percentage of what these provinces have to export, the United States is, and will long continue to be, their only market. Tne number of Ameri rican vessels which cleared front American ports for ports in tha " British North American Posses sions," during the ye it 1837, was 5,135. Tneir tonnage was 1,625,515 tons. The number of Ame rican vessels which arrived from ports in these pos sessions during the same year was 4,609 ; their ton nage was 1,497,935 tons, waking an aggregate of 9,741 American vessels, and 3,123,450 tons of American shipping, which catered from and cleared to provincial ports with cargoes in one year. But large as the trade carried on by American shipping is, it does not show tic tr one half the actual trade between the United States and these provinces, because by far the largest portion of it is carried on by provincial vessels. This already large and con stantly accumulating trade between the United States and these provinces has led to frequent per sonal intercommunication between their citizens, and consequent demand, on both sides of the line, for the best facilities for the transit of passengers and freight that modern invention has discovered, and enterprize and science have proved well adapted to this purpose. Communication between the United States and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward's Island is now carried on by steam and sailing vessels, and by stage coaches, &c. ; also by other wheeled vehicles to New Bruns wick. Lines of first-class passenger and freight steamers are now running from Boston and Port land to St. John, N. 8., conveying over 2,000 pas sengers per week, besides large quantities of freight. In the spring and summer these steamers carry large quantities of fresh salmon packed in ice. They are principally taken on the East coast, as far north as Miramichi. They are now carted to Shediac, from whence they are sent by railroad to St. John, and by steamers to the States. The head.of the Bay of Chaleur and the Restigauche River, sixty miles north of the Miramichi, is pro bably the beat salmon fishery to be found on the Atlantic coast of the American continent. They are so abundant in those waters, heretofore com paratively but little disturbed by net or line, that they are taken by Indians with spears by torch light in the night. When the " Intercolonial Rail road" penetrates that region of country, quite a trade in fresh salmon will be opened from there, which, united with that from Miramichi and along the east coast of New Brunswick, will give many tons of freight each day to the European and North American Railroad. I have particularized the salmon fisheries because of its unusual character, and will afford quite an item of through freight to the road. The exchangeable products of these lower or " maritime provinces " are raw material, such as lumber, bituminous coals, gypsum, or plaister of paris, grindstones, lime, a rine brown building stone, ship timber, fresh, pickled, and dried fish, potatoes, oats, hay, &c. These products they ex change for flour, Indian corn, groceries, dry goods, books, implements of agriculture, &c. &c. A rail road connecting Halifax, the large and prosperous country lying around the head of the Bay of Funday, Shesine, Manhattan, St. John, Frederickton, Woodstock, Calais, Holturn, and other interme diate commercial centres and prominent places along the eastern boundary of Maine, and in the " mari time provinces," with all parts of the United States and Upper and Lower Canada, and shortening by some 30 or 40 hours the sea voyage to and from Europe, has been talked of and looked forward to with confidence by the people on both sides of the line for the last twenty years. The full realization of these anticipations is close at hand. Business travellers and pleasure seekers will soon be accom modated with railroad facilities, and stockholders gratified lders gratified with satisfactory dividends on their in vestments. The transportation of the mails, pas sengers, and light and valuable freight to and from Europe, via Halifax, will form quite will a large item fe of t revenue to the road ; then therebe , 'Phis will be a through business, and . will be and the United States and large from the start, Canada. and passenger traffic between their low the erovrinces and constantlyincreasuw. Add to this the way travel a portion of the way, east, which of itse es and freight through.thelfStf' a o t r e of Maine, from Bangor will alone support a road, pecially as it will be fed by the State of Maine and s everal branch linweshiou both then can doubt but th a t thi s the Provinces. an d long-desired railroad will tak e it s ci much-needed the an roost useful l ad best paying roa d s in the United States. It is fortunate for th e pre lieon sent gener ation that we live n ! an age when good i amid w i s e men are labouring to bind nations and peoples more closely together, and increasing t h e i r respect for, and interest in, each other by seeking a more close and harmonious union through all the ties of literature, social intercourse, and trade. I need but refer to the interesting character of the European and North American Railroad as a sec tion of, or link in, the great future international, - postal, passenger, and commercial route around the globe. This is a fact too plain for argument, and one that all must see after a glance at the map of the world.
