The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d. The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. bd. The directors draw special attention to the fact 'bet 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 tho Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work inactive 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. THE BEST *REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

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 officeslest absorbed by the company.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Ex- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, iisned by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Loudon, 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 tho operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under thorn which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. 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 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 fixed sum in respect of every pi cmium 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 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 asturiug the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew'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 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-fire years, and the shortest fivnyears, 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 sous to maittain the full benefit of the -grant importance where policies are bi. 1 ,1 as collateral security. It is oitly necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under t),ese tables being tutforfeitable and uncon ditional, they trill al,, be uncballergenble on any ; round wbati.yer. Tier may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security P, ieies.

MR. GOLDIT'IN• SMITH IN CANADA. The nem s from Ametica coot: ins the fact thet Mr Gold win Stuith made a Speech at a dinner in connection with the Toronto University on the 11th. After speak ing for some limo on university topics, Mr. Smith is represented to Lave said : —The other day ho thought his position : omewhat precarious. He was afraid be would have to cross the lino and take refuge in Canada ; but ha was &la/ to ll see %%Ti n t Ere stated England's cans-, and for this bad received a pretty full amount of at us', efpee'ally from the press. But as ho was under the safe protection of the British flag, he might say that the American press is not universally celebrated for its intelligence; and cne of the papers that had been particularly fierce in its denunciation had the day before had a brilliant article bearing on the hat and boots of a rival editor. He sincerely hoped the storm would blow over. All he feared was the extreme virtue of some of the politicians. It was possible that they might do something too disinterested and sublime. Hasty progress in that direction would lead to consequences. The English are not, by any means, ready to allow any one to have the honour of tramp ling their flag under foot. Englishmen (he proceeded) wore by no means too tenacious of their purse, but they were very tenacious of their character. Their money might be wrested from them, but no one would take from them their honour with impunity. SOLDIERS' DRESS. The present uniform and clothing of our soldiers is, it is stated, to undergo at once some altera tions, which will do much to remove the hitherto just stigma on our nation as "the worst military tailors in the world." The present tigbt tunic, which has so recently been noticed as a source of disease, will gradually fall intodisuse, beng, according to orders now to be published, reserved for the Queen's parades and purely special occasions. A. loose, blouse-like, or " Norfolk," coat is to be issued to the troops, which will be worn on all duties, fatigues, and parades usually comprised in the soldier's routine of duty. A band running on the inside of the coat will draw it into the figure, and add much to its appearance. An in provement is also to be made in another article, the shirt. About twenty specimens are to be at once issued to each regiment for trial and report. The material will be a mixture of cotton and wool in equal proportions, and in addition to the advantages of cheapness, lightness, and lessened rouglines, the quality of not shrinking will be highly appreciated. The present great-coat, which weighs as much as four pounds, will be made much lighter, and it is also suggested that a water proof cape might be advantageously added, to be used with, or independently of, the coat itself. NE TV SILKS. On Wednesday fourteen barristers were called within the Bar in the various courts of law. The following are the names of the learned gentlemen who have thus cast off the stuff and put on the silk :—Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. 11. E. Lopes, Mr. G. C. Morgan, Mr. H. James, Mr. A. E. Adams, Mr. W. C. Fooks, Mr. S. Eddis, Mr. D. Brown, Mr. H. F. Bristowc, Mr. 11. Edlifi, Mr. J. Kay, Mr. Montagu Bere, Mr. E. Fry, and Mr. Samuel Pope. Of these, three are members of Parliament, viz., Mr. Hughes, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Henry J.tuies. Nine, viz., Messrs. Adams, Fools, Brown, Kay, Bere, James, Lopes, and Pope are members of the common law Lai., the latter also practising at the parliaxnentary bar. Messrs. Eddis, Bristowe, Hughes, Moran, and Fry are equity lawyers. Three of the above, Messrs. Bere, Edlin, and Lopes go the Western Circuit; Messrs. Kay and Pope the .Northern ; Mr. Brown the Norfolk ; Mr. James the Oxford ; and Mr. Feolis the Home Circuit. Several of • the possessors of the new dignity are the holders of official positions ; thus. Mr. Adams is Recorder of Birmingham ; Mr. Kay is Judge of her Majesty's Court of Record for the Hundred of Salford ; Mr. Bere is Recorder of Southampton; Mr. Pope is Recorder of Bolton, and Mr. Lopes is Recorder of Exeter. The youngest of the above list in point of pro fessional status is Mr. Pope, and it is rumoured that his talents have commanded the dignity of a silk gown at an unusually early period of his career at the bar. THE EDUCATION REPORT. The report of the Committee of Council on Education is published. The committee report in general that the past year has been marked by sustained progress. The number of schools in England and Wales receiving annual grants has increased by 795 on the number of the previous year, and the number of simply inspected schools by twenty-five. The increase of scholars in schools receiving grants is no less than 114,378, and in inspected schools 2,398. The certificated teachers have increased by 592, the assistant teachers by 99, and the pupil teacher; by 1,315. A similar increase is shewn in Scotland. The report remarks that, as soon as a school of a certain connection and character is produced, annual grants of public money may be claimed to maintain it, without opportunity for consideration on the part of the committee of any circumstance beyond its walls. So far, therefore, as any common provision for the kingdom at large, or for any part of it, is accomplished by such a system, the result is accidental, and proceeds, with all the irregularity of accident, from a number of partial and isolated efforts. Of the simply inspected schools, which receive no annual grants, 748 were visited during the year, and in these 748 schools there were 42,520 day scholars. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE "ROM II CONSPIRACY." A few days ago there was a meeting held in Bradford in opposition to the Irish Church Bill, presided over by Mr. W. Ferrand. In his opening speech Mr. Fernand made some statements which were forwarded to Mr. Gladstone. The following letter was the result:—' 10, Dotvning-street, Whitehall, Juco 15, 1869.- Sir,- Mr. Gladstone desires me to acknowledge the receipt of ycur letter of the 11th inst., forwarding a report of a meeting held at Bradford, at which aAlr. W. Fernand is reported to have stated that a pri vate meeting some time since took ph ce at Mr. Gladstone's house, for the purpose of discussing what would be the best cry at the next general election for uniting the whole Liberal party, and to enable them to turn out the Conserva tive Government, and become possessed of their offices themselves. It was decided at this meeting that the bond of union amongst them should be the severance of Church and State—the destmetion of the Protestant religion in this country, and the restoration of the Roman Catholic faith. Mr. Gladstone trusts that this gentleman's speech may have been inadvertently misrepresented by the re porters; but he desires me to inform you that you are quite at liberty to assert, either publicly or privately, that the above statement; is entirely without foundation.-1 have the honour to remain, sir, your obedient servant, W. B. GUEDON." All opposition to the establishment of the Lon(lon tramways is withdrawn. Mr. Graham, one of the members for Glasgow, has given notice that on Friday evening he will ask the Pos master-Gencral w hen it is the intention of Government to bring on the money bill necessary kr the purchase of the telegraphs, and on l&londay Nlr. Grieve will ask the Post master-General whether it is his intention this session to carry cut the provijens cf the Telegraph Act of 1868. TuE DUKE OF NEWCASTLF. - The case of the Duke of Newcastle and his creditors is about to assume another phase. A petition has been pre sented to obtain an adjudication in bankruptcy, and notices have been served on the Sheriff of Middlesex and others. The sale of the ducal property is being continued at Carlton house-terrace, and the application of the proceeds will become a disputed question—whether the execution creditors will benefit from the sales, or whether the same will afterwards be available for all the creditors. In the event of an adjudication-being overruled ) a material alter ation will fake place, several isnes, beirg.,(l4ected to be tried inihtcourtstUcliequer,,'
