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. 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.

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 £sl2s. 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 little more than bi t per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR.

The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2.

On the other band, 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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLNI, 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 Hie ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defectivo or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to p-omulgfito the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengenble. _ 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 eass 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 timo 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 aro 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 unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £21 5 ,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 WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

STEELE, Secretary. c • THE GREAT SILVER MINE. White Pine is likely to proinc , , in the Great Basn, the state of things which upsA society in Melbourne. The labourers sent forward to com plete the Pacific Railroad desert as fast as for• warded, so that the demand remains the same ; and if a work so well organized and paid cannot retain its hands, no other employment, from the Rocky Mountains to the Sierra Nevada, can hope to do so. On the one side, San Francisco is depleted of its inhabitants ; and on the other, even New York now begins to fed the drain. Treasure City contained 6,000 people before the snow incite I from the height whereon it stands, 9,000 feet above the level of the sea. Mazeppa, close by, is an established and growing town ; the city of Swansea has commenced, and Eberhardt has so far ris.m that a man who invested $750 in it had just sold his interest for SS,OOO. To understand the present state of attlirs in Treasure City, the reader must itnag;ue a coa grega.iett of unmitigated ruffians, without any re straining power but fear, each armed, and with his pistol loaded in his pocket, his bowie knife at hand. Picture such an assemblage located on a mine ; drunkards, gamblers, thieves, extortioners, each a law unto himself, and kept in check only by the pistol of his neighbour. An Act has been passed creating White Pine a County ; the number of law abiding citizens will gradually increase, who act together, while the ruffians are a rope of sand ; Vigilance Committees will be established, and under the leadership of some brave and energetic man Treasure City may soon hope to be an orderly town. The mountain on which it stands is des scribed as similar in formation to Potosi. Two years ago a starving Indian brought to some miners, ore, which showed its wealth. On explors ing, pure silver was found where trees bad fallen and had been burnt, or where Indians bad lit a fire on beds of chloride ore, reducing the easily smelted rock to metal. The great Ebenhardt vein was next discovered, then the Chloride Flat. The White Pine News nays :—" The geological forma- LltAl UL VUU tuvuu Mtn 10 CO -ntetraLie.dide its riches are rare. It is an isolated peak of fossiliferous lime stone, overlaying silurian rocks at a great depth, and these having a foundation on those of the primitive age. Into the crevices, caves, and chasms of the limestone, or in displacements occasioned by the, action of thermal waters rising from the primi tive and silurian rocks, were deposited the lime, silicia, spar, and ores which now constitute the mines and veins of the bill. By such process of change has been formed that singular feature of mineralogy—fossiliferous quartz. The limestone has been carried away by the action of the water, while all its features, the form and character of its fossils, have been preserved in the obtruding silica. These crevices, chasms, caves, or displacements are iu every portion of the hill, and of every size, fn m ' j that of a bull's eye to that of the mammoth chasm of the Eberhardt, and the continuation of each, with increasing or varying richness, may be fol lowed to an indefinite depth. A body of ore, small at the surface, may at a greater or less depth ex pand to a great size, and vice versa. Such a for mation is very advantageous for mining, as the or arc in vast quantity, pure and rich, and easily mined. The exhaustion of the bill is almost a matter of impossibility, and none now living will see it accomplished. as of the mountain to which we have compared it, hundreds of years hence w:11 see a prosperous mining community about the sides and base of Treasure Hill." Two beds of bitumin ous shale hare been discovered six miles east of Trea sure City, the one 15 feet in thickness, the other 150 ' feet, in a country of carboniferous limestone, and which burns freely. A correspondent who bad just arrived says that he found the wealth of the district to be underrated ; indeed, it could not easily be overrated, and certainly he bears out this statement by surprising figures.

Notwithstanding that the district hes at tracted miners from every direction, fi orn the Ccm stock lode, the richest mines of Neva la, from Mexico, from California, they all appear astounded at the wealth cf the ore, and the ease with which it is worked. Already neatly 100 companies have bee-t organized ; 9 mills are in operation ; wages are £l. a day of eight hours, but no men work for others except when pressed for money to carry on their own operations. English miners, young, healthy, and fearless, might push their fortunes there, and it would be worth the while of a Cornish family to combine to send one of its members to try his for tune, and report for his fellows. A recent traveller thus narrates his experiences : —" At one station the party halted for a square meal. There was a tent, and in it a huge kettle of coffee and a camp oven. After waiting a few minutes, the landlord came to the door and snapped out, " room for four." Our informant went in with three other men and they knelt around a fiat box, which the hotel keeper had turned down on the ground. On the top were four basins of strong coffee, and by each dirty tin was a dirty black bis cuit and an egg. The coffee and eggs were good, and the biscuits were good on the outside, that is, the eater had to choose between two evils—dirt over the top crust, dough under it. Each loaf was like a cream cake, perfectly soft inside. Thehungry men took off the crust and after blowing, scraping, and rubbing it to remove the alluvial deposits, put it down with a gusto and torrents of strong coffee. The inside masses of dough were left by each man's basin. When the men had finished their meal, and while they were yet kneeling, the host put his soot begrimtued and greasy hand over the box and spoke again, " Four dollar." He was paid. Plump went the silver into his pouchy pocket, and pop went the four masses of dough back into the oven. As soon as a new crust was baked over them, eggs cooked and the basins refilled with coffee, four more hungry men knelt down, ate off the crust, rejected the rest of the dough for another baking, and paid their dollar each for the meal. It was calculated that one more stage load of customers would finish the biscuits and put the landlord to the trouble of kneading a new batch." In Senator Wilson's reply to Senator Sprague in discussing the lot of working mon, 113 said :—" In the winter of 1836, when I came of ago, I hired myself for one month to a farmer of my native town. I went into the forests, drove teams, chopped wood and timber, working at least 14 hours daily. For this work I re ceived the enormous sum of $6 in cash. I then thought I was quite fortunate to get $5 in money for that month's hard toil. The wages of labour have increased in that region in New England since that day three or four fold." General Webb, the new military commander in Virginia, is a sou of James Watson Webb. During the war he was General licado's chief of stuff a portion of the time. Captain Qualey, of the American packetehip Harpsworth lost at sea Feb. 14th on the coast of Po rtu gal, arrived at New York, April 6, on board the steamer Ville de Paris, from Brest. The crew were taken off by the A. C. Carroll, of New York, and carried to Lisbon. Charles E. Thompson alias Bullard, and Isaac C. Morton alias Marsh, the robbers of the Merchants' Union Express Company, have escaped from the gaol at White Plains. Charles Lester and James Lewis, burglars, improved th occasion, as the gaol had boon opened for the others to walk oat also. .Brooks and thine, the m Broadhead murderers, escaped from a Pennsylvanian gaol, but Ore was recaptured. The only son of Commodore Livingstone, U.S.N., died at Brut.swick, Germany, last week, of apopl,xy, to. suiting fro:n the effects of a sore tlit oat. Ho was thee° for the purpose of studying German, and was attended in his last mo:uents by his cousin, J. L. Tappan. His body was sent to America for burial, This is a severe affliction to Commodore Livingston, whom so many Americans had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with last summer on the Continent. ])UNVILLE and Co., Be, ees e t ie f os a mn s f t a ieonsrs preference so.m r e the e Danvilleuae otro ea la xFn p r dr oe ge rnctetoti s h : h o lders of Whisky in the world.
