Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 : I. 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 .£100,8Q3, 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 lhan .£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 : CREDIT SYSTEM. Societ On any Policy for the w' ole of Life, where the age does net exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on red t. ,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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, "IT= L-L- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of tide Company, in deference to an ob joos e ufp e rit t nel i eot n nh o t t th u f customary defective. e e d g ioc, n ,io.a e n n ur yd t ni l ieoor u i r iase g i, e n. ; tf, Life pr by rce e asAr resolved so o l vsn n : s 4drinf i it n t, : T ie, : i c ,os t o ( gt in h Acesoperave ation 11c u o n u d d e i r ti t o l n i them w the e p i r i es s e h n a t l Tables, be d te l t y o i u s s n u f e o r fe s i t s a u b r i a e n , and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons he s it a t e 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 fi xe d sum i n amountteni iumpa assuredi d,be bearin g the number of pre miums n g the same propor tion rspe to ct the of e totall r 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 ono 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 more 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 adva n t ages, 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 WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, 'Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thFt 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 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 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 fro m var i ous ex t raneous sourc es, be in cluded, 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 little more than 51 per cont. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn.

September 1868. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN ITALY AND ROME. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FLORENCE, APRIL r. As the exact bases proposed by the Italian Government for a modus vivendi with Rome have not previously been published in extenso, I send you a short analysis of them as contained in the memorandum annexed to General Menabrea.'s despatch of June 15, 1868:-- I.—Customs and Monopolies.—A Customs' union, on one of two systems. (a) A monthly adjustment of the quota due to each State iu proportion to its population; e. 9., assuming the total net produce of the duties to be 6,600,000 francs monthly, the share of the Roman State would be 220,000 francs, plus 40,000 premium, represent. ing duties exacted directly by the Pontifical Custom Houses on the seaboard. Italian controllers to be placed in the Roman Custom Houses. (0 The concentration of the whole service of the union, including the State mono polies, in the hands of the Italian Administration, a fixed sum being paid annually into the Pontifical Treasury. This is the system which the Italian Government would prefer. (c) If neither of these projects should be found practicable, then an arrangement is proposed by which all goods should pass free without any formality at the frontier, and be visited at the place of their destina tion. The products of the soil to be admitted free of duty, the Italian tobacco and salt to be passed free through the Roman State, and the two Administrations to act together for the suppression of smuggling. 2. Posts andTelegraphs.—As regards the postal arrange ments, the convention between Rome and Italy, executed in April 1867, leaves, it is stated, nothing to be desired, The telegraphic service is equally satisfactory ; the Italian Government would, however, desire the introduction into the Roman State of the reduction in the tariff which has recently been effected in Italy, and also permission to erect special wires for the transmission of despatches between the Northern and Southern provinces. 3.—Extradition.—A more precise agreement respecting the extradition of criminals. The Roman Government to make no exception as regards the province to which cri minals whose extradition is demanded may belong (i.e., as to whether they belong to the annexed Pontifical provinces or not), and also to undertake not to expel Italian subjects from its territory without previous notice to the royal authorities. 4.----Suppression of Brigandage.—The maintenance of the existing military conventions for the suppression of brigandage, and facilities for special agreements as occa sion may arise between the respective officers in command on the frontier. s.—The transit by railway of Italian trcops to be freely permitted throughout the Roman State. 6.--Abolition of Passports. To these proposals, as I have already mentioned, no answer has yet been given, or if given, it has not been considered desirable to publish it. The arrangements would probably have been more accep table at Paris if they had offered greater guarantees of permanence. This, in fact, is the great obstacle in the way of an understanding, as is evident from a perusal of the whole series of despatches, as far as they have been made public. During the past week a considerable number of arrests have taken place in different parts of Italy on suspicion of conspiracy in the Republican sense. At Naples and at other places several non-commissioned officers have been taken up, and minute perquisitions made in the barracks. Among this class here, as in Spain, a great many dissatisfied and enterprising characters are to be found. At the Perzola Theatre, in Florence, only a few days ago, Alazzinian proclamations were scattered from the boxes, together with other printed sheets attacking the Government, the dynasty, and monarchy in general. It is not believed, however, that any serious movement is to be apprehended, although it is pretty well known that the heads of the Republican party have recently divided Italy into four districts, and established a corresponding number of centres of action, with a view to facilitating a movement, should the opportunity offer itself. At the funeral of General Druetti, in the cemetery of St. Miniato, yesterday, a working man, who attempted to force his way in, wi s unfortunately killed by the bayonet of a soldier. The fact has been hitherto kept out of the public papers. The convention with the banking-houses is not yet signed, and it is alleged that the Minister of Finance has only succeeded in obtaining 300 millions on the Church property. When the financial statement comes to be made, if we are to give credence to the positive assertions of those in a position to know, it will appear that the total deficit to be met will amount to 800 millions. Five hundred millions, accordingly, will remain to be found, and it is generally believed that the forced currency will have to be left alone. So much has been said about the questionable profits made by certain deputies who voted for the new law on the tobacco monopoly, that it has passed into a kind of proverb, and the private committee of the House rejected the other day a motion for a subsidy to the Venice and Brindisi Navigation Company (to use the words of one of the members forming the committee, writing in his own journal), " on suspicion of cointcress«ta,' or, as we might say, ' of Associated Tobacco Monopoly.", THE FENIAN PRISONERS. A correspondent of the Morning Post writes on the subject of the released Fenians, and expresses his conviction that their release was dictated by a sound policy, and had no connection with the subsequent atrocities. The question in all such cases is, he considers, how the crimes are viewed, and how the punishment will operate amongst the people. Political crimes are very likely to be ele vated into virtues by the crowd; and the writer points to the prisons of Warsaw as proof that severity fails to repress political and patriotic disaf fection. The eighty-one Fenians under sentence of penal servitude when the present Government came into office were carefully classified. Two of them, Cos tello and Warren. who have been released, are likely, in the opinion of this critic, to do the authorities ser vice by making Fenianism ridiculous. Mr. Newdegate denounced Mr. Whalleyasa Jesuit in disguise, employed to discredit Protestantism; and in the same way a genuine Fenian might denounce Costello and Warren as disguised loyalists. Fenianism, according to this authority, has fallen 50 per cent. since these releases and the consequent displays. The distinco tion between Fenianism and Ribandism is strongly insisted upon, and the writer concludes by arguing that the release must have been wise and prudent, as the present Government are more interested than any other persons in the welfare of Ireland. As the ob jectors to the measure questioned its wisdom, and not the good intentions of the Cabinet, this argu ment has little weight. PEERAGE BILLS. A Scotch peer writes to the Times on the peerage bills that have just been placed on the table of the llouse of Lords. Ile disapproves the proposal that selections for life-peerages should be made from the hereditary peers of Scotland and Ireland. Ile does not believe that there is a single Scotch peer who would consent to the arrangement, unless all the representative peers were equally made life represen tatives. He declares that to make the House fairly represent the peerages of the three countries, the English peers should equally with the Scotch and the Irish have only a certain number of representatives in it. Ile concludes by shewing that if all the Scotch peers were admitted the num bers of the House would only be increased by twenty : or sixteen if the Irish bishops are to lose their seats. DISENDOWMENT ON A SMALL SCALE. The citizens of Auld Reekie are trying to do a bit of disendowment for themselves. The inhabi tants of Edinburgh have to pay the tax called " Ministers' Money," and a great many of them don't like it at all. They have so far made their com plaints heard that the Liberals of the town, who do not mind paying it, have determined to come to the rescue of their burdened brethren. A bill has been brought into the House of Commons for abo lishing the tax, and its supporters are anxious to get the Government to back the measure. A deputa tion waited on Mr. Gladstone on Saturday, but the right hon. gentleman asked to be excused frop i t giving his opinion on the measure. H owe ver, b" would take it under consideration. PROFESSOR BLACKIE ON TILE ITNivEnsirms. That staunch old Conservative Professor Blackie, who has spent his life in Edinburgh University, has been lecturing to an education association in Auld Iteelcie on the universities of Scotland. We have heard so much in England on the excellencies of the system pursued north of the Border that it is quite refreshing to turn to a criticism of what we have been told is so p e rfect. But w e in En g land can ta ke little credit to ourselves, on account of Professor Blachie's opinion. His country, he claimed, was much ahead of England, but she was r i s io l t ip : . tt t r h i e le hadof the world. His idea of a university was not merely a place for teaching, but a grand national arena for they r Scotch conld p the ° f h e i s g s l e i t r e s s t wereii ite l 1 c c t n u ii ellilli,eritgelliyao:tilliei_aeagtieo. gentry ieti l i..: * : . pursued P:irsimonious, c a i n it a t t h i e le ir in cl fl ii t l i z i n; v e s r c 1 0 1 l a d n d E r o t p h e e . a d i e ta moe l rati too, f a:s lu m - c o l f , a g n o d y e t r h a e m n e n o 1: i l l l i , t a y s was most chil dren to England to be educated. n Church educationlia The Presbyterian ':': . spi t •eose l netveno great theological ,i e s i c i o ce to o i As• a result, the writers and ministers.
