HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 98. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; 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 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 cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS ALLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On cemparing 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 has 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. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

Q.uoen-street Cheapside. AIVOTHER LIBEL CASE. The contest for the honour of representing New York in the United States Senate is likely to give rise to an action for libel. Ex-Governor Fenton has commenced legal proceedings against the New York Commercial Advertiser for an article reflecting on the honesty of Mr. Fenton's administration dur ing his terms of office extending over four years. The Commercial declares it has nothing to retract, and apparently seeks for an opportunity to estal - lish its allegations. It is thought that the feeling between that journal and Mr. Fenton is so rantour ous that the case will come to trial. The Com mercial Advertiser, edited by Hugh I. Hastings, is supposed to be inspired by Thurlow Weed. On Saturday, the 2d inst., it published the following remarks :—" Governor Fenton retired from office at noon yesterday, and John 'l'. Hoffman was welcomed to the honours, the trials, and tribu lations of the office by the outgoing incumbent. Governor Fenton has held the office for Lair years, and has made some reputation. He will stand out as an illustration—showing that a man with very little ability and less honesty, a fair sup ply of political cunning and tact, and a large amount of double-dealing, can successfully humbug the country that he has some claims to statesmanship, and is entitled to the respect of the unsophisticated people of the rural districts. He retires from office as the most successful fraud that ever held a high position in the Government of the country. Of all the distinguished citizens who have occupied the Executive chair of this. State, no one has ever brought the amount of scandal to the doors of the Executive Chamber that Reuben E. Fenton has. Commencing with the signing of the New York Dry Dock Railway Bill, in which one of his most intimate back-door friends obtained $20,000 from the company for his signature to the mea sure ; ending with the history of the Erie Railroad legislation of last session, when his most inti mate and trusted friend was paid $20,000 by one of the directors of the Erie Company to obtain his approval of the bill, his administration has been made notorious by a system of blackmailing. Yet in the face of this most scandalous and infamous trade be has managed to impose upon the people of the State, and leave the impression that he was an honest, fearless, and independent chief magis trate. Never was there such a successful fraud. It was supposed, because he vetoed the New York Cen tral Railroad Bill and various city railroad Acts, that he was unapproachable by the lobby. Deluded and humbugged people I But few were aware that it was more profitable to certain Wall-street sharpers to have the New York Central Fare Bill vetoed than ap proved. Whichever way he turned wasgrist to his mill. It was the same with the New York City rail roads—more money was paid for a veto than for a signature ; and so it went from the beginning of his Administration to the eu3. Governor Fenton, unlike most men who have high official positions, retires from office with a larger bank account, and more goods, chattels, bonds, and mortgages than when he entered the Executive Chamber. We say nothing of the unscrupulous manner in which he has used his office for his own advancement. This, to a certain extent, may be considered by gentlemen of loose political morality perfectly legitimate. But we repeat there is nothing in the history of the Exe cutive of the State so scandalous and disgraceful as the administration of Reuben E. Fenton." A pretty way in which to write of one who had just surren dered, after a long term, an office of great dignity and trust to take up another of scarcely less dignity and trust ; and we think it is due to all parties, either that those who falsely made such statements should be punished, or one who so betrays his trust should be brought to account.

(Signed) RoULAND. The Philadelphia Globe says—" Messrs. Robert W. MLAlpin and James M‘Connell, editors of the New York Tribune, are in this city, stopping th at the Continenta 0 1, no doubt for the purpose of reporting movements f General Grant. The rumour that Mr. John Russell Young, the accomplished managing editor of the Tribune, had re signed his position, is contradicted by these gentlemen." George T. Angell, a Boston lawyer, is the pre sident of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which, though only incorporated last year, has procured the passage of a stringent law against cruelty to animals, has prosecuted 42 cases, obtained 39 convictions, disposed of others without prosecu tion, and distributed 330,000 copies of a monthly newspaper in the interests of the dumb beasts. No one can tell the suffering so active a society m a y prevent, for the animals can neither " spout" nor write, and we believe that Mr. Angell and his secretary, Mr. Fay, in their active campaign against cruelty will do more good than men whose philanthropy is making a noise in the world.
