Goula's 2 ; and in the House by 118, against Albert P. Gould's 30. Mr. Hamlin was born in Paris, Oxford County, Maine, August, 1809. His father died while he wts young, which compelled him to look after the farm he inherited instead of going to the University for which he had prepared. 1V hen of age he spent a year, as compoacr, in a printing-office ; then read law, and was admitted to practise in 1833. From 1833 to 1840 he was a member of the Maine House of Representatives; but in 1813 he was sent to Congress, where he remained till 1817, when he went Iback to the Maine Legislature, and on the next year I was elected to the United States Senate in succession to Fairfield, deceased, where he remained till 1857, his second term having nearly expired, when he resigned to become Governor of his State. This office he held but a few weeks, as he was induced again to take his seat in the Senate for a third term, which had but half closed when he was chosen for the second place on the Presidential ticket with Abra ham Lincoln. In his early life Mr. llamlic served the Democratic party, but he fell away from it after the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and on the 12th June, 1856, after the nomination of Buchanan on the Cin cinnati platform, be openly announced his separa tion. On the expiration of his term as Vice-Presi dent he was appointed by Mr. Johnson Collector of the port of Boston, which he resigned, August 28, 1866, finding himself in oppcsition to the policy to which the President had swung round. Thus honourably and recording his reasons in a letter to Mr Johnson, Mr. Ilamlin again found himself on his little farm, having refused to hold a lucrative post in no way connected with politics, which he could have held with impunity against the Adminis tration, rather than incur even the supposition of sanctioning a policy he wholly disapproved. It is satisfactory to record such acts, as they show that a political career in America can leave the keenest sense of honour with some ; and it is remarkable to note how instinctively the people have appre ciated and held fast to such servants. CHARLES SUMNER was re-elected on the 19th of January for his fourth term for Massachusetts, the votes being in the Senate, Sumner 37, Abbott 2 ; in the House, Sumner 216, Abbott 14, Banks 1. Charles Sumner is now 58 years of age. At 19 he graduated at Harvard, and under the tutelage of Judge Story he was trained for the bar, to which he was admitted at 23, where he quickly attained eminence. At 25 he was engaged on Sumner's R-- ports, editing the, American jurist and delivering law lectures. In the following year he travelled iu Germany, Italy, and Franc; and remained a year in England, where he was received with distinction by the bar, the judges placing him, when he visited their courts, on the bench. He continued his pro fessional work until he commenced politics at the age of 31. His first great oration was delivered before the municipal authorities of Boston, on the true grandeur of nations; another against the annexation of Texas, and a third on the anti slavery duties of the Whig party. Ile was elected to the United States Senate in 1850 by the "conscience" men of Massachusetts, by a contest which took three months of balloting in the house to decide, and then he scraped in without a vote to spare. Ilere we come again to a fine specimen of an American politician, and we are the more parti cular in remarking on the fact, as efforts have been made to create the impression in England that a man cannot be honourable and a politician, in Ame rica. Nothing could induce Charles Sumner to lobby, pledge, use any art, or make any promise to secure his election. His speech of May 19th and 20ai, 1856, is considered the finest oratorical effort ever made in the Senate, and it was this that brought on him the assault of Brooks, which disabled him for four years. Massachusetts, of course, re-elected him in 1857 with only seven dissenting votes ; but he did not reappear in the Senate till 1859, when he instantly renewed his attack on the " domestic institution," showing the barbarism of Slavery. Throughout the war, as before it, Charles Sumner was the apostle of emancipation, and he worked with that strength which great ability concentrated on one object gives. Like Thad. Stevens he knew hii mind, and the success which attended his efforts will leave his name associated with the freedom of a race and the abolition of slavery on a continent. As the chairman of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs Mr. Sumner has been of great value to Congress, and his re-election, in truth, interests foreign countries almost as much as his own State. He brings great legal knowledge to bear on ques tions, with an honest spirit of fair play, while, as the first champion of freedom, his Republican principles cannot be questioned. This gives to his opinions a weight not only in the Senate but throughout the country, which is used in concilia tion and moderation. JOHN SCOTT was elected on the 19th January by the Pennsylvania Legislature in place of Mr. Bucka lew. He was born at Alexandria, in Buckingham county, and studied at Chambersburg, where he fitted himself for the law. His father, the Hon. John Scott, a tanner, represented the district from 1829 to 1831. John Scott married a daughter of the late George S. Lyster, and removed to the town of Huntingdon to practise law, where he soon gained a good local reputation, eventually becoming well known in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Though originally a Democrat ho opposed Buchanan's election, and eudeded by joining the Republican ranks, but in 1860 he was Demo cratic candidate for the State Senate of Huntingdon District, when he was defeated, though elected next year to the Lower House as a War Democrat. In 1867 he was elected President of the Republican State Convention at Williamsport. The return for Pennsylvania of a man so little known, and one who has thus suddenly been thrust into this very high position, has caused great surprise, the more so as he was not even mentioned a short time before in opposition to the powerful candidates who came into the field. The strength of Simon Ca meron, who rules in the Pennsylvania Legislature, is said to have been underrated by the other aspi rants to the dignity, but that gentleman has given a proof, in walking John Scott over the course, in whose hands the real power in Pennsylvania is held. WILLIAM CUMBACK was elected by the Indiana Legislature on the 19th January, in succession to Hendricks in the Senate by 22 against Hendricks 19, 9 scattering, and in the House by 48 to 45, scattering 7. This gentleman was born in Franklin county, Indiana, 24th March, 1829. He was educated at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and obtained the funds to carry him through the Cin cinnati Law School by teaching for some years. When the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was passed he had obtained sufficient prominence to be elected to Congress, but he failed for re-election, and was not heard of till 1860, when he was appointed a Republicang o got the placePresidential oefleacdtodri.tionfanl paymaster, but awarded he but the war raised that com p aratively insignificant post into importance, a nd he earned a high cha racter for his honest and able management of the office. He was a candidate for the Gover norship of his State, but it was then that he ommitted the gross indiscretion, if we can call it no worse, of writing to Governor Baker proposing to withdraw, provided the Governor would assure him of another appointment ; to which he received a most damaging reply, the proposition being termed " corrupt and indecent." William Cm:a back then made an effort to get back his letter, but Governor Baker turned a deaf ear to the piteous call of Come-back, keeping it for after use, and afterwards_ using it : The contest for the Senator- R OYAL HOSPITAL for INCURABLES, West-hill Putney-heath.

HENRY ROSE, f The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 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 realis e d 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'preniiums 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 lest 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.

THOMAS ALLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The sent dispositiouof the Company's funds is shown by this pr acecount. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will bo observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has bona advanced on security of tho com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the compan is now constituted as y follows : The Right Hon.

This gentle man adds another to the Republican party in the Senate. Alas ! we have counted our chickens be fore they were hatched. On the 22d January a caucus of Republican members was held at India napolis, and Mr. Cutnback's name withdrawn, D.D. Pratt of Logansport being substituted, and when the Legislature wet that day he was elected in the joint convention, the vote being 83, Hendricks GO. DANIEL D. PRATT had resided for 30 years at Lo gansport, where he reerns to have been very com fortable if we may judge from the weight to which he Lai attained, 4001bs. Indeed it is said that no . Senator Eo weighty has sat in the Chamber since the time of Dixon 11. Lewis. He is an able lawyer, and must be thought highly of in the State, as he was elected for the Forty-first Congress, beating Nathan A. Ross by 17,233 to 14,946. He is therefore pro moted from the House tot he Senate, and we may here mention that Thomas N. Stillwell, late Minis ter to Venezuela will be the Republican candidate for the Eighth District vacated by him. Stillwell was a Johnson Republican in the Thirty-ninth Congress.
