Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Artual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. 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 y e ars 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.

An ILLU 'TR iTED CATALOGUE, containing full descrip tion, with prices of Account Books, Copying Presses, Inkstands, Stationery, Cabinets, Postage scales, Despatch Boxes, Travelling Writing Cases, Desks, and Gags, &o , post free ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENG'EABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to en 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 promulgate the present Tables, and to issue AQsurances under them which shall be absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeablo. 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 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 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 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 issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. 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-five 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 be 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 unchallengeablo 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• ques tionable, and it obtains the largest amoun t o f new business of any office in the Kingdom.

They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000.

The expenses of management are less than those of l as t 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 negotiations have \ change of Government in America, b. proceeded they have not advanced. say ouic,tioh, ~ a ys the Owl, is as remote as ever. Th has been complete : a few weeks since a thorough settle. ment seemed likely; now fresh difficulties have arisen. GREAT DROUGHT IN AITSTRALLL The colonies of Victoria and New South Wales are both suffering terribly from the want of rain. The drought is universal. From Melbourne in the south to Queensland in the north:sheep are perishing by thousands from want of water. On one " run" 30,000 have been lost in this way. Horses arc offered at eight and ten shillings each, and sheep can find no purchasers at sevenpence a head. In New South Wales the Times correspondent met with a horse-breeder who had sold 400 horses from five to twelve years of age, and unbroken, for fivepence head. The oases in the desert are extremely few, but, in order to find them, the settlers have to imitate the rtag tice of th?, patriarchs of -Id, nod tape their flocks and herds from one placo, to another. =Much of the distress has apparently arisen from oversto;•king runs. Irrigation promises to become an A stralian as well as an Indian. cuestion. SOLUTION OF THE LELCIAN DIFFICULTY. There seenis to be a difference in international parlance between a solution and a settlement. A settlement is pre sumed to be the end of a question ; a solution is the menus to an cud. It is now certain that the Belgian difficulty has been " solved," and that the terms already published are corrt , t . . The convention between the East of France :A the Luxemburg Railway Companies is to be submitted to a mixed commission, which will also con sider the general industrial relations between the two States. The Times approves of this decision. If our own commercial relations with France have been a fitting subject for negotiation, there must be room, it thinks, for a revision of the arrangements which at present exist between two States whose territories adjoin, and whose capitals—the one looking like a miniature of the other— are separated only by a few hours' distance. Belgium, indeed, is likely to gain even more than France by a revision of commercial arrange ments and by increased facilities of communication. The Belgians have many advantages over their French neighbours. They have the materials of manufac ture in greater abundance ; they-have a dense population, very sober, very hard-working, and with a good deal of the hereditary skill and ingenuity of the Fleming. On the French side of the frontier are 40,000,000 of the best and most easily-supplied customers, and for these Belgium might become one great workshop. The position of the smaller country is such that it ought to afford every facility for traffic through its dominions. At the same time France ought to be careful not to advance claims, the concession of which must humiliate the Belgian people. " Cosmopolitan" writes to the Daily News from Paris, expressing his suspicion of this contract between the two companies. The East of France guarantees to the Luxem burg Company a sum of money considerably in excess of the total receipts of their line—which was never very lucrative. " Cosmopolitan " asks, " Who is to bear this loss?" and gives his opinion that the French Government has guaranteed the Eastern Company. Last year the same company acquired the right of working a railway running mostly through the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, and in this case the French Government secured the cola• pany against loss. HETERODOXY IN RUSSIA. Dissent appears to flourish in Russia, but, judging by the arbitrary acts of the Government, the triumph of heresy must indeed be a triumph under difficulties. The Russian Government is now considering a measure of very great importance. It is proposed to abolish the special administration of the United Greek Church and transfer all affairs relative to this offshoot of the orthodox Greek Church to the Ministry of Public Instryetion. The seat of the United Church, is at Warsaw, but the measure now contemplated is not exactly a raid against Polish liberties. It is a blow at Rome. The United Greeks are Christians who follow the Greek rite, observe the general discipline of the Greek Church, and make use of the Greek liturgy, but are nevertheless united to the Church of Rome. They admit the supre macy of the Pope, and acknowledge all the deci sions of Rome subsequent to the Greek schism. They number 4,000,000 in Austria, 250,000 in Poland, and about 80,000 in Italy. The Eus&an Government has from time immemorial regarded this sect with dislike. It has been considered merely as a Jesuit organisation for drawing the faithful Greeks into the arms of Rome. - The Emperor Nicholas made war upon the sect with such virulence that it was almost driven out of Western Russia, took refuge in Poland, and assi milated its doctrines and practices nearer and nearer to the Roman type. Poland will in all probability be no longer a place of shelter for the United Greeks. The Government has sought to forcibly unite it to the orthodox Greek Church, and. this placing the two branches under one Government will all but annihilate the independence of the lesser. STRIKE IS SWITZERLAND. A general strike has taken place amongst the printers of Geneva.. The malcontents are supported by the Inter national Association of Workmen. They have held a meeting, at which all tile twenty-five sections of the asso ciation were represented. Violent speeches were made at this gathering, and the " Marseillaise " was sung. Riots are apprehended. THE FIGHTING IN SPAIN. The insurrection at Xeres is at an end ; but, like all Spanish street conflicts, the fighting was very severe during its continuance. It commenced on the evening of the 17th,* and lasted at least two whole days. The troops were twice assailed by the insurgents, who were driven back, and the former assumed the offensive. Barricade after barricade, to the number of twenty-three, were taken after hand-to h and struggles. The loss of life was great. The troops had 150 men put hors de combat, but the killed and wounded of the insurgents were far more numerous. Six hundred of them were taken prisoners. ROYAL PERQUISITES. It will be remembered that the Provisional Government, on the demand of Queen Isabella, made over to the exiled sovereign all her personal property, wearing apparel and the like, which had been left in the palace at Madrid. The Liberal journals were much discontented with this complaisance, the property surrendered being worth at least £50,000. Altogether Queen Isabella is not likely to become a penniless exile. Immediately after the revolu tion all the boxes and wardrobes, and especially the recep. tacles containing the crown jewels, were sealed up by order of the Junta. An examination has just been made, and 200 boxes and caskets have been found quite empty. In quiry has shewn that the secretary to the Queen, who is now with_ her in Paris, carried off the whole of the crown jewels to Sebastian. They were worth £1,200,000. It has previously been stated that the Queen took away these valuables, and the charge has been denied. But the Geneva Journal says there is now no doubt about the matter. EI.E^JTION NEWS. We were right in our supposition that the invita tion to Mr. Whitworth and Mr. Bagehot, to become Liberal candidates for Bridgwater, was premature. The Attorney-General has given notice that he will move for an address praying for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the practices of the borough. We should not be at all surprised to find that the commission will have a result similar to that which followed in the cases of Lancaster, Yarmouth, Totnes, and Reigate. There appears to be two Mr. Churchwards, and, politically, they would seem to partake of the character of the Siamese twins. Mr. Churchward, of Dover, we all know as one of the most daring politicians in the three kingdoms. His brother at Pembroke seems to have offered his senior that sincerest of all flattery—imitation. According to the Daily Telegraph, " a memorial has been sent to the Admiralty, praying that an inquiry shall be made into the course taken by some of the officers of the Pembroke Dockyard during the late contest for the representation of that borough. Among the most prominent offenders, it is said, is Mr. Churchward, who was Mr. Meyrick's chairman. Mr. Meyrick was the successful Conservative candidate. The writs having been moved for Blackburn and Hereford, holy Week in those two towns is being passed amid a most undesirable excitement. The Conservative candidates at Blackburn are Messrs. Hornby and Feilden, the sons of the late candidates on the Conservative side. Mr. Hornby, jun., was one of the authors of the objectionable circular by the millowners, urging that the employers should use their " influence" in behalf of the " constitutional" candidates. The Liberal candidates had not been fixed upon on Tuesday. At Hereford Messrs. Clive and Hoskyns are the Liberal candidates; Messrs. Arkwright and Baggallay the Conservative. The list of 50 odd juvenile M.P.'s who are under 30 years of age will receive an accession in the per son of the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of Pticlimond, and who is just 24 years old. He is in the Grenadier Guards. The most influential supporters of Mr. Bruce in ilenfrewshire have determined to pay the costs of his late election, which amounts to £444. Eighteen gentlemen subscribed £25 each, or £3 more than the required amount. The following is an account of a Mormon execu tion :—" The criminal was brought ironed into the court yard, where there was a crowd of some four hundred, and seated iu a chair. Ho then read aloud a chapter from the New Testament, 1113 irons were taken off his hands, and at signal from the sheriff he NM shot dead."
