The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., ar ising 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 Is. 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 little more than 5i per cent, on the total income.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UV FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLII, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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 shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the giound that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre minms, 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 timo 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 pay-able 4 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 ae.suring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew 3 se 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 freelom 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 el IFS as security. may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Asstn•ar.ces—a matter of great itnportaneo where policies :11 , , held n 6 collateral security. . , It is mils necessary to told that, as consequence of tlw policies under these tables being maw-reliable aud uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengcable on any ground whatercr. they may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies.

Secretary. ME I ROPOLITAN G OSSlP—saturda, The Irish Church crisis grows serious. Lord Derby is up to this Moment resolutely determined to oppose the Government measure. The more moderate and cautious Conservatives, with Lord Cairns at their head, had resolved to let the bill go into committee and " amend " it. To this course the majority of the bishops were prepared to assent. But this faint-heartedness has aroused Prince Rupert's wrath ; he threatened all kinds of dire things, and a general break up of the Conservative party in the Upper House was imminent, when, in order to avoid that danger, the Cairns section gave way. It is now understood that unless some unforeseen event should occur, the Conservative party will as a whole incur the far greater danger of opposing the bill on the second reading. In fact, the tactics have been entirely altered within the last few hours. Lord Colville, the Conservative " Whipper-in "in the Upper House, has received instructions to make a vigorous whip. The bishops will now vote against the second reading, and it is expected that the bill will be thrown out by a large majority. In order to fortify themselves in this serious step, meetings are to be organised in all parts of the country, in order to condemn the bill, and we must look out for a period of political agitation ou both sides of St. George's Channel which will exceed the most tumultuous days of 1806. This determination involves such serious consequences that even now I cannot believe that wiser counsels will not prevail. The flooding of the House with the new Liberal peers, who:n Mr. Gladstone has full power to create, is but a small matter compared with the irritation which will be produced by the useless opposition to the inevitable, and by the delay in all other legisla tion which that opposition will cause. Lord Derby is now 70 years old. His physical temperament and constant illness have, undoubtedly, affected his judgment. The counsels of younger and more prudent men ought to weigh far more with the party than the advice of a peer who at his best time was always excessively rash. It was Lord Derby, for instance, who left Sir It. Peel's Administration, in December 1845, rather than consent to a temporary suspension of the corn laws, even though famine was • staring us in the face. It was Lord Derby who made that celebrated speech on the eve of the election of 1865 about " muzzling the Catholics." It was Lord Derby who, in 1867, declared that he and his party had taken a leap in the dark in order to dish the Whigs. These repeated indiscretions shew how little trustworthy his judgment is. He is an orator of the first class, but he never been a statesman, and it is too late for him to be accepted as such now. Mr. Forster's speech upon the American question is very important. It is the first Ministerial expression of opinion upon Mr. Sumner's proposals, and it is as condemnatory of them as anything that could be said by Mr. Laird or Mr. Roebuck would be, although, of course, Mr. Forster adopted very different language from theirs. The unanimity with which the English journals have repudiated Mr. Sumner's claims,—even journals, for instance, like the Daily News and the Star, which always supported the North shews that there is not the least chance of those claims being accepted or enter tained. Mr. Motley will, if he moots the matter at all, be told this very plainly. It is "not unlikely that directly after the recess some independent member will, with the privity and consent of the Government, ask for information on the matter. In fact, Sir Henry Bulwer has for some time past had a question down upon the notice-paper, and he deferred it until Mr. Motley's arrival, at the request of the Government. If Sir Henry should not put his question, it is probable that Mr. Horsman will ask for information. That the Sumner claims are not at all likely to be pressed atpresent, is deducible from the fact that Admiral Porter, secretary to the United States Navy, has reported to his Government that. there are few powerful ships in the American Navy fit for a cruise, and none calculated to contend against the ironclads of England. He asserts even that American squadrons could not keep the sea in the event of a war. I believe that the report that the Queen has consented to give up to the Prince of Wales a portion of her income in consideration of his exercising many important State duties is well-founded. The Prince has for some time past found his income insufficient. Several times feelers have been put forth respecting an increased grant to the Prince by the nation, but the idea was so ill-received that no Minister has ventured to propose it to Parliament. Certainly the present Ministry was not likely to do so, and so an arrangement has been made which had better have been effected five years ago. This might have pre vented a good deal of unpleasantness in the Duchy of Cornwall, if nowhere else. It is generally rumoured that the Duke of Cambridge is about to retire from the management of the Patriotic Fund. It is not surprising that . his Royal Highness should object to have his name associated with the mis management which has prevailed with regard to that in stitution. Concerning another duke, not royal, there are the most serious rumours. He has for some time past been cele brated as a "plunger "of the first claF,s. For some time past the duns have been pressing, him sore, as they had previously pressed his brothers. If he does not appear in the same non-illustrious court as they, it will be because his wife is a daughter of a man who was one of the richest merchants in England. She, having her property settled upon her, very wisely refuses to pay her husband's sport ing, debts. So in all probability his stud will be sold, and a well-known jockey's uniform will be missed on the Epsom Downs this week. A sad ending, this, for the son of one who was an eminent statesman, and who, had he lived, might even have been Prime Minister. While one peer star, which is classical for going to the dogs, another of is going to re-establish himself by marry ing a girl of the middle classes with - z - zu,ouu-a- r ....-- true that he has been a co-respondent in the Divorce Court, but she condones that for the sake of a coronet. I have, through the kindness of Messrs. Chapman and Hall, been favoured with a copy of Mr. Forster's life of my old friend Walter Savage Landor. As yet I have had time only to dip into its pages. It is a bulky work of more than 1,100 pages, but evidently full of interest. It has been written, I am sorry to say, during a good deal of bodily suffering on the part of the author. I may mention that Mr. Stopford Brooke bas been prevailed upon to publish a volume of his ser mons. Mentioning the matter to bim some time ago, I found him rather reluctant ; but that reluctance has happily been overcome, and the public will shortly have an opportunity of reading sermons in many respects as remarkable as those of Robertson, of Brighton, Mr. Brooke's ideal theologian. I am told that Mr. Disraeli, disgusted with politics, is now taking up his pen again, and is engaged on some literary work. Mr. Mill is going to pay a visit to Russia, where his" Political Economy" is much read. Mr. Deutsch, the author of the Quarterly article on the Talmud, has just returned from the East, and has made some most important discoveries at Jeru salem. The Round Table records with deep sorrow the untimely death of Mr. Charles B. Seymour, for some years past the musical and dramatic editor of the New York Tunes. Mr. Seymour expired on Sunday, the 2d inst., at his home in Union-square, of what is called rheumatism of the brain. He was a young man still—not * yet forty —having been born in London, December 13, 1829, and was thus cut off in the prime of his usefulness. His singular fitness for the position he filled, his scho larship, taste, and refinement, added to his kindliness of heart and unvarying gentleness of manner, were highly appreciated, and his death leaves a void not easily or lightly to be filled. The funeral took place from Grace Church on Wednesdiy, and was numerously attended. Mr. Seymour's case furnishes another example of writing men succumbing to diseases of the brain—a fresh warning against overwork of a sort perhaps more dangerous than any other. _ _ Walter Phillips, night operator in the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company at Providence, Rhode Island, has received a letter from Professor Morse with a gold pencil case and pen, "as a token of admira tion for his masterly performance of recording 2,731 * words in one hour" Phillips is said to be the most rapid telegraph receiver in America. The Princess of Wales furnishes the latest in stance of history repeating itself. She is said to have re turned from the East with SICO,OOO worth of jewels of gold and jewels of silver, for she found favour in Egypt and despoiled the Egyptians. One of the first fruits of tho visit of the Prince of Wales to Paris is a return visit from the Prince Imperial. Cyrus W. Field apologised for bis absence at the 53d anniversary meeting of the Peace Society last Tues day, where it was announced he would speak. Ho is ex pected to leave England for New York next Tuesday. A letter was also read at the meeting from the Hon. John Jay, regretting that his instructions precluded his attend ance, as United States Ambassadors could only speak in public in the countries to which they aro acc redited. I ieu ed ,. .Mr. Jar left for Paris on Tuesday e venin g , en rou te for na, but by way of Berlin, where he is to meet Mr. Bancroft. His first diplomatic work with Austria will probably be the negotiation of a na uralization treaty similar to that concluded with the United States by the North German Confederation. Hopes are entertained that an emigration from some provinces of the Empire will follow such a treaty. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL ITAIR.—MItg. S. A.
