THOMAS ALLEN} HENRY ROSE, Auditors E xa mined and approfl The total income of the year, it will be soon, is £544,466 9s. 2d;, and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £134.811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 is. 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 reducti on, 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 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgato-hill, London, E.O. Established 1848. _ _ The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invitrd 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 he 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 hocome 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 dale, as , ‘, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually pail 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 asc'rtained 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 issuca on Ibis plan will bo without any conditions as to voya zing:, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections bed ore referred to will bo entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, tho 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 cltss 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 aro held as collateral security.

The Telegraph regards the reconstruction of the Menabrea Cabinet as a very significant event. The union of Menabrea, Minghetti, and of Mordini, the quondam Garibaldian, in one Cabinet, is nothing less, it believes, than an attempt to form a power ful Government to meet the contingency of an impending war. In political circles at Florence war is believed to imminent. General Menabria has laid before the French Government the impossibility of the pro visional arrangement with regard to Roman affairs con tinuing any longer ; and he has received in reply an assnra,ice that a great war- is probable, by force of u hich Italy might attain the object of her ambition. " The prospects of an alliance between France, Austria, and Italy are openly discussed in high political circles at Florence ; and though the current rumours may be, and we believe arc, unfounded, their existence explains the sudden coalition which has been formed, under Menabrea's Premiership, between the Piedmontese, the Garihaldians, and the Constitutional Liberals." ENGLAND AND AMERICA. The remarkable letter, signed "An American Citizen," which appeared in the Times a few days ago, deprecating the importance attached to Mr. Sumner's speech, was written by Mr. Grimes, a member of the United States Senate, and who happened to be in London at the tin:.. He is an influential man, and ho holds that there is not any prospect of a collision. Mr. Sumner's speech was published by permission because it is almost a matter of course to give leave to any member of the Senate who wishes to make his sentiments in debate fatly known ; and it monopolised attention on the late occasion because, happening to be the only one delivered on the rejection of the treaty whose author was ambitious of print, there was little else upon the subject for the public to read. But this in no way proves that Mr. Sumner's rhetoric or his reasoning was approved of by the whole, or even by a majority of his colleagues. Among the fifty senators who voted for the rejection of the Clarendon-Johnson treaty, much diversity of motives existed. There is no doubt, however, that till majority were dissatisfied with the over anxiety shewn by Mr. Reverdy Johnson to bring the controversy to a close during the brief period of his mission ; and they were resolved at any hazard to chew that America could wait until such time as, without the possibility of being misapprehended in her tone of claim, the matters in dispute might be adjusted. As Mr. Motley comes with no instructions, and our Government cannot make any further move in the matter, the question will necessarily be hung up for a time. Mr. Sumner, in his recent speech on the Clarendon- Johnson Treaty, laid down at great length what he deemed the just doctrine of neutrality between belligerents. Be tween two established nations, both independent, there might, he admitted, be neutrality. But when one was "an odious combination of rebels," a declaration of neutrality was unequal in opera tion, for it invested the rebels with the rights of war, and gave them a status which did not properly belong to them. It was on this ground that he complained of the Queen's Proclamation of 1861. Sir Francis Head, late Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, publishes certain official documents which exemplify how admirably the Americans have carried out this doctrine in cases of rebellion against us. In December 1837 an American " General," named Mackenzie, made a raid into Upper Canada. He suddenly appeared before Torcnto at thehead of 500 men. The raid was of the most contemptible character. Mackenzie not only had no more than 500 men, whilst the population of the province was 200,000—Toronto alone having 10,000—but even these 500 were badly armed, very few having rifles. The mob was dispersed at once. The Biitish troops had been sent out of the province, but the people rose and scattered the " invading force," Mackenzie with difficulty escaping into the States three days after he opened the " campaign." So completely did the outbreak collapse that every pri soner was pardoned and discharge d. But how di,l the Amo lean Government act? Mackenzie was a runaway murderer. Previously to his having 'appeared in arms he bad committed highway robbery, arson, and murder. It was owing to these crimes, cemm ittcd before his act of treason, that Sir Francis Head !Nl:est...l the American Government to deliver him up in virtue of the treaty then in force. The Governor of New York State refused. He regarded Mackenzie as a bell iguent, and, therefore, proclaimed neutrality between him and her Majesty's Government. Here are the Governor's own words : " He (Mackenzie) was at the head of a military force, a hostile force to the Government, and seeking its subver dion and overthrow by violence. It was a civil war ; whether just or unjust is not material for the present pur t)ose to inquire ; it is enough that it was a state of open, public, and notorious war, on one side to overthrow, and m the other to preserve, the Royal Government. All who were thus arrayed against the Government may in view of its laws be murderers or felons as well as traitors, but so far as regards other Governments, and as respects the Question now pending, they should, I apprehend, be looked upon as traitors only, and of conseqnenco as men who have not forfeited a right to an asylum within the limits of au independent Stake." faa, not only was th's mur..lerer protected, though be had insultedthe_American Government itself, hut La arum P neon raged and surpnrtod is ovary urny_ A nrl the nation whose representatives proclaimed the bellige rency of this kind, demand hundreds of millions sterling as reparation for our proclarra,l:on of neutrality between the North and the South! CIIILDBEN FOR THE FAR WEST. A correspondent of the Daily Ncus recounts good work done by the Children's Aid Society in New York. For fifteen years this society has been instrumental in sending children to the West, and in improving their con dition generally. The number of children it has sent out has been over 15,000, and they have been scattered over fifteen different States. The Western farmers are glad to receive these children, who in their turn become speedily domiciled. All applications are referred to local committees, to provide against imposture, and no child is sent out without the consent of its parents, if they can be found. For the nos part the children arc orphans. The agents of the Society meet with them principally in the lodging-houses which it has established. These are most us..ful insti u tions, and many avail themselves of the advantages they offer. Every effort is made by the society to induce boys to abandon New York for the Western prairies, where they are out of the reach of temptation. In the event of poor English children being sent out to that country, it would be well to communicate with the secretary of the Children's Aid Society. A DISCOVERY ON THE PACIFIC RAILWAY. A vast coalfield, extending for three hundred miles, has peen discovered on the line of the Union Pacific Railway. As regards the "opening up" of the Far West, this coal deposit is of the greatest importance, but to the Pacific Railway Company it is of special value. The coaling of trains which had to run many hundred miles through a desert country, was one of the great difficulties of the undertaking. But now the company owns mines extend ing along the most dreary part of the route, and an inexhaustible supply of coal is thus secured at a low rate. Six mines have already been opened. One of these yielded 4,000 tons in three weeks. The coal is of excellent quality. THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN. Admiral Topete, who appears to be the enfant terrible of the Revolutionary Government, made an important statement in the Cortes on Thursday. In answer to Senor Castelar, he said that though lie supported the September Revolution, he was desirous of saving the Queen and the dynasty ; but after their expulsion he opposed their return. He thought they could best solve the Government problem by elevating Montpensier to the throne, but he had no understanding with the Duke or the Duchess. He had acted as subordinate to Serrano and Prim, and they all awaited ti-e initiative and decision of the Cortes. He warned the Assembly that a Republic, a Monarchy, and a Regency seemed equally impossible. "Beware," he added, "lest if you make every solution impossible, some insolent, daring man under take to cut the knot you are unable to solve. You will not applaud me now, but you will understand me." This statement, reported by the Times correspondent, is impor tant as an official acknowledgment of the difficulties which beset the Government, but it is the reverse of hopeful. If a Republic, a Monarchy, and a Regency are alike impos lible, even though the Ministry commands a majority of at least three to one, the unsophisticated mind may well inquire what the Revolutionary leaders propose to do. The situation is one which ought to be in their own hands. Che country supported them to the fullest extent at the general elections. The minority have indeed fought bard for a Republic, but they have fought only . sc b h e e e m. n es :as t i l l i y e w be i a th ten l . egi A ti f m te a r te re w je e c a t p iug ons, th a e ndßet p lu'ebylicallanv . ° Ministry qUght to have something to offer . in their stead ; but all the confiding 1 1 ( p !to can kugges.t is the possibility of a coup d'ltat by some "insolent, daring man."
