What a President, on whom rests the responsibility, wants, is the man best qualified for the work. If the best qualified be the best educated, and the best educated be New Englanders, it follows that New Englanders will predominate whether the PRESIDENT likes them or not, if he honestly does his duty. General GRANT has evidently Mr. JOHN ly actedonth ß e N rLuAlTellonfop MOTLEY, Mr. ound JOHN JAY, and Governor CuRTIN are instances in point ; but still more striking is the transfer of Gen. SANFORD from Belgium to Spain, and the pro motion of the Hon. FREEMAN H. MORSE from Consul to Consul-General in London. We venture to say that the first Mr. MORSE knew of his appointment to the higher office recently created by Congress . was when he took up his morning paper on Thurs day. There is this drawback in appointing men who do not ask for the place, that they may not want it, and perhaps either accept it at personal inconvenience to show their appreciation of the compliment, or in rejecting may retard the public business. The men selected by the PRESIDENT are not only sound Republicans, but those whose principles have lone been well known and for 7 cibly expressed. Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON will be succeeded by a gentleman as eminent; and a leador of the Democratic party will in this change give place to a genuine representative of the party now denni nant in the Republic ; and at Vienna, even in a more marked degree, this will he the case. Gen. Dix be longed to the party called War-Democrats, and he will make way for Mr. WASHBURNE, one of the earliest Anti-Slavery men. Mr. JOHN P. HALE was, and we believe is, a Republican, but doubts have been thrown on the way in which he represents Ameri can opinion in the capital of Spain ; and a fight not creditable to the mission has been carried on between the Minister and the Secretary of Legation.

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, 7 6 9 , 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 considtrable. 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 years 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 Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTULIFFE, 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 an 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 0).11 be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and tincballengeable._ _ 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-fire 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 1215,000 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 directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton.

Lloyc man-square, to whom come, resist was that brought to bear by his friends to secure him a place in the Cabinet. He succeeds a well-known Republican who a short time ago ex- President JOHNSON desired to remove, and would have removed had he not been shackled by the Tenure-of-Office Act. General CLAY had - sent in his resignation, but afterwards withdrew it, and the question was, whether the resignation did not hold in spite of the withdrawal. We do not know how this joint was decided, but we do know that it was argued at Washington. Major-General DANIEL E. SICKLES, of New York, was offered the mission to Mexico, but we presume he declined it, as Mr.. THOMAS NELSON has been nominated. Mr. ELIOT COWDIN was talked of for the Belgian mission... The Consul-Generalship of Italy, vacant by the death of Colonel LAWRENCE, remains to be filled, but we doubt whether there will be many other changes, though the applications in Washington are' overwhelming. The favourite appears to be Mr.- Mmtrinr's position at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, for which there is a tremendous run ; but however to bo regretted the disappointment of so many. may be, we would regret still more if one of the crowd was gratified at the expense of the pre-, sent incumbent. London, we doubt not, was_. even more eagerly sought, and the rumour pre vailed when last we wrote that Ex-Governor HAR RIMAN, of New Hampshire, would be nominated in succession to Mr. MORSE. ,The United States Con. sul in London has done much to attract the national attention to the decay of the American ocean-carry ing trade; he has supplied Congress with matter for serious consideration, which has already given rise to numerous debates in the Capitol. It will be one of the most prominent subjects next session, and Mr. MoasE, we doubt not, will be looked to, to continue his investigations, and to report fully on the facts connected with English shipbuilding and navigation, while as a Maine man he is well ac quainted with these subjects on the other side. A special despatch to the New York Evening Post, dated Washington., March 27, says ex-Governor Tuomas of Maryland, is warmly urged for the - - an poiu tments seems to have arisen from a misunderstand ing between the PRESIDENT and the Secretary of State. When Mr. FISH took over the office from Mr. WASHBURN!: he found a number of nomina tions made out, and it is probable that he thought, as he had become responsible, it was his right to make to these selections, while to some he had strong objections, and many now who were on WASHBURNE'S slate have left Washington disapM pointed.

Peptglaktr 11365.,, " We have gone through a war, and have been dissipating with the inflated currency, and a vast debt, and a weakened credit—and wasting our sub stance in a hundred ways. For eight years we have suffered from the war and Andrew Johnson, and because the President in the twenty-five days of his government has not succeeded in rescuing us from all these evils, he is held up to public scorn as a failure—as a ruler who does not comprehend the dutie3 of his station—as a mere " man on horse back," insensible to the wants and wishes of the country. He has done nothing but blunder, we are told ! His Cabinet is a " blunder." Well, let us look at that ! The Secretary of State cannot have a policy less in harmony with the country than that of the former " deacon." The Secretary of the Treasury is as much better than the one who preceded him as it is possible for comparison to express. In the place of Brown ing and his Indian and railroad scandals, we have a man of commanding ability and purity of cha racter. Randall has given place to Cresswell—and Evarts resigns the office which he-bought with a price to one of the wisest and best men in Mas sachusetts. Mr. Bone takes experience, culture, respectability, purity of character, and business eminence into the office where Mr. Welles has sat long like the Old Man of the Sea. With the ex ception of Washington's first Cabinet, which con tained Jefferson and Hamilton, and Monroe's Cabi net, which had Quincy Adams, Crawford, Calhoun, M'Lean, and Wirt, and probably Polk's, with Buchanan, Walker, Marcy, and Bancroft, the Cabinet of President Grant is as strong in intel lectual force as the Cabinet of any former Pre sident. We expect a great deal from Mr. Bout well in his great office, and especially from Mr. Cresswell and General Cox. The Cabinet is not the only " blunder," however. The ap pointment of Mr. Stewart indicated an " ignorance of law.' Well, lawyers like Hendricks, voted for the confirmation, and many men meet and learned in the law argued that Mr. Stewart could take his portfolio. We did not agree with them. Mr. Stewart would have pleased us as Secretary, but we were not pleased with the manner in which he proposed to be Secretary. We differed with the President. lie was wise enough to change' his mind. After four years of the irresolute mulish ness of Andrew Johnson, let us thank Heaven that we have a man who can change his mindt..t was Stewart business was, perhaps, elunpy ; the clumsiness of an honest man try thing.

The interest re ce i ved during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from th e productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole asset s , p ro d uctive and unpro ductive, m a y there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ' • or, if the profit s hown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s p e r 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 b y nearly £19,000. A considerable re d uction, 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.
