John Robert Mowbray, M.P. DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., P.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Actual 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 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 yoars 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. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rites and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTOLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London, S.W. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, 'UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfoitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. p in ers u o i n e s ev h; n si t t• t many that, ofc or t t l o te a r s c s t e n o r n e referred ed groundto, de i e l l o in r e in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of thei pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, beine , entirely free from all coudi 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 ti 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 voyaeing, 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 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 amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

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 eluded, 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 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 littlo more than 51 per cent, on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of tho Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary. London, March 18, 1869. The fiftieth ,anniversary of Pius IX.'s service in the Catholic Church was celebrated with great Eclat at Rome on Sunday. The offerings in money from the Pontifical States and foreign countries amounted to £200,000. All the sovereigns represented at Rome sent their congratula tions to his Holiness either verbally or by autograph letter. The diplomatic body breakfasted with the Pope in the Sacristy of St. Peter's. A hymn was composed for the occasion by Gounod. INTRIGUES IN SPAIN. The state of Spain has once More become the most interesting question of the Continent. The recent fiasco has thrown the Monarchists into complete confusion. The blunder of Dom Fernando's candidature is deplorable in every rerpect. The refusal of the Prince has been made public before even the nature of the Government has been decided on by the Cortes, and the telegram announcing his decision was couched in such language that even the Portuguese journals conderon it. The Correepondencia, supposed to be the organ of the Duke of Montpensier, makes an important declaration. It, states that the Duke would have accepted the Crown had it Leen cared by the Cortex. But now the Orlcanist Prince, though reney to defend the revolu tion as a citizen, will not abandon private life. This refusal to become the instrument of the revolutionary leaders is honourable, but it will leave the Monarchists in a terrible dilemma if it be maintained. As might have been expected, the Carlists are taking a lvantage of the general confusion to prepare for a great effort. The Spanish journals are full of details respecting Carlist movements. The partisans of Don Carlos are stationed in large numbers on the frontier, and enrolment is going on openly in the interior. The Government is aware of the danger, and is rapidly concentrating troops in the north and the centre. Should civil war break out, the Ministry, says the Temps, will not be found unpret pared. " AN APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY." A general election in Roumania is rather a remarz able operation. A little while ago the party of Bratiano was in office, and had a majority in the National Assembly. Now it is in Opposition, and at the general election just finished has been able to elect only ten of its supporters against 147 partisans of the Government. Indged it is rather surprising that the unfortunate Opposition did carry ten seats ; for in Roumania the system of official candidatures is cultivated to perfectirn. Tae Government stations traops at tEe electoral urns, and nobody is allowed to vote unless he gives his frco and independent support to the right man. Violence is often used. The Municipal Council of Bucharest ventured to protest against these proceedings, The Ministry expressed the opinion that the Council was dangerous to public order, and straightway dissolved it. It should be explained that both parties adopt the same sy.,!em wl el in office, and as the politicians now in power are considered to be opposed to intriguing against Turkey, the result must be deemed on the whole satisfactory. GOLDWIN SMITH AND THE =COGNITION OF THR SOUTH. Mr. Goldwin Smith, now Professor at Cornell Univer. sity, in the United States, writes to the New York Nation touching England's recognition of the South. He admits that a large and powerful, but irresponsible, party in England was actuated by the bitterest hostility to the Union. But he denies that this party influenced the actions of the nation as represented by the Govern ment. "Though perfectly independent of it (the British Government) and on many questions opposed to it, I had personally good opportunities of informing myself as to the real disposition of its members. And it is my firm conviction that its settled policy from the outset and throughout the struggle was strict neutrality, practical as well as legal ; and that if it erred (as I am myself inclined to think that it did) in its choice of the time for the recognition of the Confederates as belligerents, the error was the result not of any sinister bias, but of misconception alone." The Nation is thoroughly at one with Mr. Smith on this point. It does not believe that the recognition of the South was the result of animus against the North on the part of the British Government. But it is not surprising, it holds, that Americans should think otherwise. They naturally, and indeed inevitably, viewed the first official act of the Government in connection with its subsequent official acts, and viewed all acts of the Government in connection with the state of public feeling, as revealed by the more influential portion of the press, and by the tone of conversation in society. The present state of public opinion in America "is not of the most exalted or philosophical or Christian frame of mind ; but there is something thoroughly human about it, and, in our opinion, time only will change it." TILE NEW RUSSIAN LOAN. The new railway loan has not been productive of any great liveliness in Russian securities. There is a very general impression in commercial circles that Russia is borrowing too much. This last £11,000,000 will bring the total borrowings of the Czar's Government introduced in London during the last two years up to £33,415,000; while on the Continent, within little more than the same period, a further sum of £13,00Q000 has been negotiated. And even now there is no guarantee that a reasonable interval will elapse before the cry of "more" is raised. If this wholesale borrowing in time of peace be continued, the credit of the empire must fall. It is true that the money is int n ied for the construction of railways, and we cannot complain of Russia's desire to have efficient laud communication, even though it may one day ba employed against ourselves; but a network of railways is is net to be made in a few months. UNIVERSAL SUM AGE IN AMERICA. The constitutional amendment, conferring the suffrage upon all American citizens, without distinction co! lace or colour, has been ratified by a large majority of those States which have considered it. But in the far West, especially in Oregon and California,the amendment is regarded with great suspicion. The influx of Chinese in these States is so great that the whites are in danger of being outnum bered, and, in case the Chinese get the suffrage, outvoted. In 1865 the San Francisco steam ships brought 3,162 passengers from China, and carried back 2,211. In 1868 they brought 10,331, and carried back only 4,209. In fact, the great extension of the United States is giving rise to a serious difficulty. What with negroes, Indians, Spanish-Mexicans, Chinese, and, possibly, Cubans, the Anglo-Saxon element is in som: danger of being swamped. POLITICAL ITE-sis. The London correspondent of the 21fancliester Guardian says that nobody regards the Budget as Mr. Lowe's. The pert of it which is likely to prove of most permanent value, by lessening.the annual cost of collection, is understood to be attributable to the chairman of Inland Revenue, Mr. Stephenson, one of the soundest of the non-political advisers of the Government. It may be recollected that this gentleman , originally a junior clerk in the Treasury, was first Drought into public notice by the late Sir R. Peel,who, having appointed him his private secretary, found in him a most valuable assistant, and who undoubtedly impressed upon his subordinate not a little of his own views and ways of dealing with public matters. It was to him that Sir Robert, when unexpectedly assailed in Parliament by Lord George Bentinck and Mr. Disraeli regarding his treatment of Mr. Canning, gave the keys of the private drawers in which his correspondence for many years was deposited at Drayton, and sent him thither to find any documents he could which were calculated to throw light on the events of 1827. Since then Mr. Stephenson has been rising from post to post, and with every fresh Admi nistration has some useful scheme for improving the administration of the revenue. Concerning Lord Russell's life-peerage scheme the same correspondent says that it is a decided hit. Its author, with characteristic self-confidence, declined Lord Granviile's offer to have it brought forward as a quasi-Government measure. Lord Salisbury's more than pi ornpt and cordial recognition of the wisdom and ex.)ediency of the proposal has not escaped notice. It is but a few weeks ago since Lord Russell fraternised with the noble marqus in some what similar fashion on the project introduced by him for limiting the effect of prorogations. Both the old and the young aristocrat discern clearly that, to keep their feet, the hereditiry order in the State must move on as if of their own accord, if not actually so, or they will be ere long in danger of being ridden over and ridden down. Bred in oppo site party camps, the instinct of caste is strong 31 1 both of them. Historic pride is in their blood ; and they happen to be by individual temperament two of the most fearless thinkers, speakers, and actors of our time. A LIGHT JOKE ON A HEAVY SUBJECT. The Times, discussing the various o b j ections to the Budget raised by the latest ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, makes a joke so quiet that it will be lost upon 999 of its readers. We may inform them that Mr. Ward Hunt divides with Mr. Crawford, M.P. for . carriages London, and Mr. White, M.P. for Brighton, the honour of being the biggest and the heaviest mem berse of the Hous e, and the following remark will th en 1)0 duly appreciated and keenly relished : _ " M r .
