HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,406 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 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 preminms 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 P er cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : LIABILITIES. £6,977 13 3 a dditions thereto unpaid Sundry accounts i e so d n ue to proprietors decease of lives assured, and 45,875 13 6 Liability under sums assured, &c.

THOMAS ALLEN, Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present dispositionof the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the 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 company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

Congressmen should read what this influential French journal says, for although not absolutely right in all its assertions, it may teach these gentlemen how successful have been the efforts made in _Abe great capitals of Europe to main tain the credit of the United States, and how easily ill-advised resolutions, supported by ill considered speeches, brought before the Legislature for mere party purposes, may damage and undo the work. If the French get hold of the idea that the most secure government is that of Washington ; that the most rising country is the United States; thatthe most scrupulously honourable among communities is the Great Republic. —an immense strength will be given to American credit. Germany is impressed with these notions, and the consequence is that the strength of American credit in Europe centres in Frankfort. The time will shortly come when that credit will be as strong in Paris ; for if the French do not send forth so many emigrants from whom to hear of America, they receive more wealthy Ameri• can visitors ; and those in the habit of estimatiKig a country by its travellers learn to regard Amerie'. as the richest country, and therefore plssessed of the beat credit. Nothing wore tended to impress Europe with a belief in England's wealth than the lavish expendi ture of her travellers in olden days, and the Parisian can scarcely escape being impressed with the wealth of the Republic over the water, when he has before him a line of great banking firms occupying one side of a principal street in his capital. That these establishments have their effect no one can deny, that they are beginning to tell is evident, and this is hastened by bringing the facts of American finance so prominently as the Patrie does before the people. France is a mine of hoarded wealth, but the French put little trust in any Government except their own. If they did, and knew the sound ness of the security and the liberal interest offered, Five-twenties would not long remain at their pre sent price. But they are more ignorant of all per taining to America than are the Germans, although this can excite little surprise in those acquainted with the extraordinary ignorance on this subject, even of the upper classes of England. THE DOLLAR. (Translated from the Patrk.) The " Almighty Dollar"--the all-powerful dollar !—How often m e bear and read this excla mation in Europe, which we now begin to compre hend better than ever. In former times it was used to express ironically that Americans worshipped their dollar before any other idol. Now we have learnt I not only to bow before this divinity ourselves, but r to understand what it is worth, because there is not a European bank whose coffers do not contain the bonds, or the notes stamped with the effigy of this reputed god of the New World. Americans have proved that they did not worship this idol to the sup posed degree, as they have thrown copies of it in mil lions into circulation, to save their national credit. At this moment all the principal banks of Europe have been flooded with these bonds, and whether they like it or no t, t h e fi nanc i ers of ie Old Hemi sphere have been compelled to admit American se curities into their markets, which certainly do not appear at the foot of the list. Shall we be friendly or the reverse to this "powerful dollar," this in truder from the New World ? This is the question —above all since the last speech of General Grant —which has made all feel that he will be the future financier of the United States during the four years of his Presidency, commencing on the 4th of next March. Let us try to answer this question. The dollar, which recalls by its sound the Spanish douro, and which is worth intrinsically five francs to five francs twenty-five centimes, according to the exchange, has undergone three transforma tions in the United States. It was at first like all the old Spanish-Mexican dollars a silver piece, then they were only made in gold, and at last when the civil war occurred in 1861 they appeared as bank notes (greenbacks, so called from the colour of the paper on which they were printed) of the value of one dollar or five francs, up to 1,000 dollars or 5,000 francs, or thereabouts. What is called chiefly in Paris " the dollar market" is the speculation not only in these gold pieces or these greenbacks, but in bonds or titles of the debt of the United States, each representing an amount more or less consi derable of these dollars. The monetary system of the United States is decimal, the dollar being the unit. This unit is divided into one hundred cen times or cents, pieces of nickel money nearly equal to the French piece of five centimes. Indeed the dal lar cm be assimilated to the French hundred-sous gold piece, and is represented by the following sign S.. Bence fifteen dollars are writtedsls,oo, the noughts can be replaced by figures on writing fifteen dollars, 25, or 40, or 75 cents or sous. The Bonds—or dollars as they are styled on the Bourse, are the represent ation on United States paper of the number of dollars in gold that the American Government engages to pay to the holders of these bonds. We say in gold, because a certain portion of this debt is redeemable in paper. But in Europe there are only bonds of which capital and interest must be paid in goldaccording to the law authorizing theirissue. A mong these Bondsthose most in circula tion on European exchanges are the Five-Twenties, called on the Paris Bourse by the general appella tion of " dollars," and with the specification 1882, because they are redeemable at that period, being 20 years from date of issue. What is the meaning of these denominations? They apply to certain values or securities which represent the debt of the United States, and which by law have the first claim on the resources of the country. Before the late war, which broke out sth April, 1861, with the first gun fired on Fort Sumter, the American Re public had, comparatively speaking, no debt, as it only amounted to 61 millions of dollars, or about 320 millions of francs. To suppress the rebellion mil lions of dollars were expended,and on the subjugation of the South, July 1, 1865, the United States found itself with a debt amounting to two billions seven hundred millions of dollars, equal to fourteen bil lions of francs. Has this debt augmented, or has it diminished up to the present ? It has diminished, as we were informed by a telegraphic message from New York, on the 6th inst., that the debt does not now amount to more than twelve billions of francs. This remarkable financial result was accomplished principally during the last year, and since the chances of General Grant's success became more and more evident. During the last six months the debt has steadily diminished. What chiefly con cerns the holders of the bonds which are made the medium of so much speculation on European money markets is, that these American securities or dollars have the first lien on the resources of the United States. These resources can be classed under two heads. Ist—Those that can be relied on at present ; and 2d, those that can be counted on in future. With regard to the first class, namely, the present resources of the United States, it is evident that they are sufficient not only to pay the interest of the debt, but sufficient to liquidate the debt itself in about twenty years hence. In short, the annual interest of the American debt is about 700 million of francs, while the revenues of the States amount to two billions and a half, which would be more than enough to pay the current expenses, the interest, and annually to sink a large portion of the debt itself. If another comparison is desired it is found in the following figures :—The public debt of the Un ited States Eg.n averages about 225 francs per head, tha t Eng land 675 francs, that of France 400 francs. On this we have to remark that the revenue of the United States is 200 francs per head, of England 55 francs, of France 30 francs. Thus on the one side the American debt presses less heavily on each citizen than that of England or France, and on the other, the American citizens contribute a larger proportion towards the extinction of their debt. It is not therefore surprising under such circum stances that these bonds enjoy so much favour in European markets, when no credit even is here made for the enormous receipts that accrue to the Washington Treasury from emigra tion, and the sale of public lands. We conclude by observing that if the Washington Government bad been inactive the light would have been hid under a bushel. It would have taken a long time for European speculators to understand the true financial position of the United States if these poli ticians had not exerted themselves in the matter. It is not enough that a thing should be good—it must be made known —and this was understood by the present Minister of Finance at Washington. He has established agencies in the principal cities of Europe; he has chosen Treasury agents; and we learn from Colonel Norton, principal of one of the great American banking houses, and agent of Mr. M'Culloch, that this Minister sends to all the bankers a monthly statement of the financial posi tion of the United States.
