The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. 5(1. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 Is. 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 cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

HENRY ROSE, f The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more bas been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. T 1.3 direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.B. Chair man. WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE Esq., Deputy- Chairman. Charles Bischoff, Esq. Thomas Boddington, Esq. Charles Chatfield, Esq. Sir J. Buller East, Bart., D.C.L.

Admiral Tindal., ~t~ ~i ~~~ ~ ~ /~~ 'l' jtE I - Gl7 NOTES TURKEY AND CREECIL ----'` M Cout Walewski arrived in Paris on Tuesday eveiang. The reply he brings back is a notification on the part of Greece that she will conform to the demands of the Powers. It is understood that an attempt is made to conciliate the Greek people by a slight protest, to the effect that King George's representative ought to have been admitteC to the Conference on the same footing as Djemil Pasha. Meanwhile all seems quiet at the scene of the late disturb . ances. Paris advices state that the rest of the Cretar chiefs have made their submission. The island is now per. feetly tranquil. Garibaldi has addressed a letter to the Cretan Provisional Government lamenting the ill-succese of the rising, and the prospect of an indefinite period of subjection to tyranny. The patriot makes use of strongez language than ever, and declares that he will come to the aid of the Cretans whenever they desire it. The Levant Times announces that the Prince and Princess of Wales will not visit Constantinople. The project has been abandoned for some reason, and the pre• parations have been suspended. One of the recent Ministerial changes in Turkey was brought about by a difficulty between the War Minister and the English Ambassador. The commander of the Cretan army has been made War Minister. SPAIN. Montpensier stock has fallen considerably in the political market. Italian princes are very flat, and the Prince of the Asturias and Espartero are no longer heard of. Don Fernando is again having his turn, and is at the top of the quotations of chances for the Spanish throne. Some of the French journals are positive that he will be King. But the fluctuations of the last four months have been such that even the close of the political Bourse may be distrusted. The partisans of Montpensier may make a noise about French interference, and then the Bourbon figures will mount up at once. Don Carlos con. tinues to keep himself before the public. His secretary has written to the Esperanza of Madrid, stating that tht‘ "King of Spain" still maintains all the rights of legti maey intact, and that numerous adhesions are received every day. The "King of Spain's" secretary ought to know most about these adhesions, but it is strange that nobody else hears of them. The Independance Beige hag a hew combination. The King of Portugal is to abdicate and become King of Spain, his son reigning in his stead un d er th e regency of Don • Fernando. 11011 E. The Marquis of Bute intends to spend Lent in the Holy Land, returning to Rome by Easter. He has been received at the Scotch College by Dr. Grant, and the correspondent of the Post hears that he breakfasted with the Pope —a very unusual honour for laymen to obtain. Another English Catholic is the object of much attention in Rome t This is Archbishop Manning, whose preaching, according to the Roman papers, attracts crowds of auditors—the Catholics to be edified, the Protestants to be persuaded. AUSTRIA. The South American scombeius was applied to an extra. ordinary purpose in E dgar Poe's marvellous tale, " The Gold Beetle," but fashion has found a still stranger use for the insect. At the last State ball at Vienna, the Empress of Austria appeared in a dress composed of the green and golden wings of South American scorabeii, sewn with gold thread on a tissue of white silk. A splendid suite of diamonds and emeralds completed this costume. If, as we are told, the great beauty of the Empress was set off by such a dress, we must abandon the maxim that " beauty unadorned is adorned the most." When ople in high places dress i n thi s fashion, it is hopeless to expect that their inferiors will not lamely copy them. GERMANY. In his speeches on the bill for sequestrating the pro perty.of King George of Hanover and the ex-Elector of Hesse, Count Bismaeck thought it necessary to justify the conquest of Hanover in 1866. He endeavoured to do this by comparing the late German war with the English revolution of 1688. 'Unless the Prussian Chancellor hoped to convince his audience by one of those ingenious conundrums which compare things by their opposite qualities, it is difficult to see the advantage of this analogy. The two events were totally different. One was a revolution, and the other a war of conquest. In 1683 the expulsion of the monarch was by the clear desire of the people ; in 1866 the people were not consulted, nor are they likely to be. The new law has been published. It stipulates that the control of the property belonging to the two princes shall be transferred to the Prussian Government until the culprits confess the errors of the past and give security for the future. After their death, supposing this penance has not been done, their relations will have the residue of the estates. This, however, will not be much, for the property will be charged both with the cost of administer ing it and the expense of the secret police, who are now employed in baffling the intrigues of the ex-King and the ex-Elector. It does not seem probable that the two princes will make the required amende—that they will con fess the error of not liking expulsion and annexation. AMERICA. The House of Representatives has rejected a proposition to tax interest on the bonds of the United States. This, together with the recent judgment in the Supreme Court, that paper money is not available in cases where there is a contract to pay in gold, still further diminishes the chances of repudiation. But though Congress has frequently dis couraged various schemes for partly setting uside the national liabilities, the final and explicit declaration that the bonds shall be redeemed in gold only has never been made. The Times correspondent telegraphs that the treaty with Columbia, giving the United States an exclusive right to construct the Darien ship canal, has been sent to the Senate for ratification. MEXICO. The time for the Mexican presidential election is draw. ing near, and the Opposition is snaking great efforts to oust Juarez, who will of course seek re-election. Ortega is the only other candidate, but it is not, however, likely that he will prevail over his established competitor. Juarez has held office far beyond the average period—in fact, longer than any President or Emperor since 1824 ; and, bad as is the condition of Mexico, it has improved under his rule. That is to say, he has secured a united Government, and has realised the first condition of political success in Mexico—keeping the army paid. This is but very moderate progress, but still it is in advance of his predecessors' achievements. POLITICAL ITEMS. There is still a great deal of uncertainty as to the course Mr. Gladstone will take on the subject of t'-• Irish Church. What will he do in case a bishop dies? 'Will he first pass a suspensory bill? With some air of authority, the Daily .News answers both these questions. He will not, our contemporary affirms, introduce a bill similar to that of last session, as it would be only waste of time to do so ; but in case a bishop dies, the appointment will be " held over " for some six months, at the end of which time it is hoped the measure will be passed separating the Church from the State. As to the order of proceed ings, the House will first pass resolutions in com mittee, asking for the Sovereign's consent to deal with the question, and having obtained that consent will forthwith proceed to consider the bill. - As our readers know, the Solicitor-General gave notice on Tuesday night of his intention to introduce a bill for the abolition of religious tests in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The Daily News notes that the measure was not announced in the Royal Message, for the simple reason that, strictly speaking, it is not a Government bill. Sir John Coleridge introduces it, as he did last year when in Opposition, in his personal and private capacity, and not as Solicitor-General. This distinction is conveyed in the fact that his motion is fixed for the 23rd of February, which happens to be Tuesday, and is l Government night. The measure, however, which the House of Commons has more than once sanctioned in principle by large majorities, will receive the hearty support of the Government. It may be added that the Senate of the University of Glasgow has resolved " That for the future those o f its graduates who shall produce certificates of attend ance at a due course of training in any of th e English or Welsh theological colleges, shall be eligible for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, whi c h is conferred after examination." As this degree ca nnot be obtained by Dissenters a t any English- University, the value of the liberal regulation is obvious. __— Another new Senator, the Hon. Arthur I. Bore man, was nominated on the 27th Jan. by the Republicans of the 'West Virginia Legislature, in place of Peter G. Van Winkle, whose term expires on the 4th of March next. Mr. Boreman was ono of the few Virginians who did not believe that slavery was so valuable an institution as the American Union, and when the rebellion broke upon the country he acted upon that theory. lie was a prominent member of the Methodist Church South, which, as a body, sided with the rebellion, and. thereupon, he immediately severed his connection with that body, and Hued the Northern Church. He was a hearty supporter of the Go vernment in its conflict with armed rebellion, and in 1864 he was elected Governor ct \Vest Virginia, to which position he was re-elected in 1866. His administration was patriotic and acceptable to the people of the State. Mr. Manton Marble has bought out all the other owners of The World newspaper, and is now the sole proprietor. The price paid for one-quarter of the stock is said to have been 5100,000, exclusive of any real estate. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S.
