Siu,—A misapprehension of one or two important fac.s has so often led to the formadtm of mistake ir • theories in all branches of speculation that I have • not been surprised to discover in your article of last Saturday on the " Canadian Question" several views and opinions which, as I believe, must have origi nated in such a misapprehension. Perhaps the commonest error into which English commentators on Canadian affairs are prone to fall lies in taking it for granted that the United States enjoy a greater measure of prosperity than their Canadian neigh bours, or, as you express it, " that a larger measure of prosperity being developed across the border is favourably felt by the incomer who gets into a drift of more enterprize, more people, and more secu rity." Now,sir, the truth orfalsity of this view as to the superior prosperity of the States is not a matter of theory, but a question for scientific investigation and analysis. I have been led by interest in Cana dian affairs to make it the subject of such inquiry, and am convinced there is not the slightest ground for holding such an opinion. Notwithstanding the more rigorous character of the eastern portion of the country, its statistics show that its develop ment, although as yet imperfect, has far exceeded in rapidity that of the neighbouring Republic, rapid as the latter has been. Since labour is the true woolsack NTS of thi9 ,he 135 13.. log the iicb, be and, be' landlord, of from tied out.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

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. Bd., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on now 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 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as fellows : - - DR. LIABILITIES.

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 the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitablo, 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 absblutely guarantees at ‘lanase, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pentium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr.-- 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 fit u .o 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 its , If to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of inak:ng 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 ibis 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 hugest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest fire 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 he 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 n4.cessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under -these tables being unforfeltable 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.

Si tniliq. ealca- la. ions, which maybe niade by anyone curious it rera! is tics, will reveal an even greater disparity in the rela tive increase of the other elements of material pros peri!y. Thus, all theories, based upon the supposition that Canada would be becefited by annexation, fall to the ground when it is shown that with her present relations she is vastly more prosperous than her self satisfied neighbours, to say nothing of the terrible weight of taxation under which the latter are la bouring as a result of the late war. It should not be supposed, however, that simple self-interest is the only or the chief source of the loyal attachment of the Canadian people to the British Crown, and I Lh to protest emphaticaly against so much of your al title as may be considered to cast sue% an aspersion upon Canadian loyalty. A large propor tion of the people are descendants of thoze old United States loyalists who left the other c rlonies in 1776, because they would not renounce their alle giance, and this class hol.l loyalty to be a duty scarcely less sacred than religion. Is it a matter for wonder, then, that thews people experience a fceling of disott at hearing that the first Minister of the Crown haS made pubic, with out remark, a letter from a New Yorker pro posing that England should surrender her C.►na dian possessions, because, forsooth, a certain class of Americans felt " irritation" at her retaining them. How would a siinilar proposition, founded o❑ similar grounds, proceeding from a Londoner, and referring to America's newly-acquired Russian territory, be heard in the Staten.--µ The writer and she publisher would with one consent be assigned to no very high rank among those animals which we may believe on scriptural authority to have been at one time endowed with the faculty of speech. As to the defence of Canada in case of war with the United States, men of large military experience anl esteemed judgment deem it far from an im possible undertaking, and I am not prepared to controvert these opinions, especially as I am aware that the " long-thin-line" theory ignores the fact that three-fourths of the boundary is a line of lakes which would be entirely in possession of the power that should hold the Canadian ship canals ten days after a declaration of war. Permit me to conclude by saying that annexation or independence will never reach Canada from her side of the ocean. She will never be willingly severed from the Empire; but the separation will come, if come it ever dues, from England's ambition to emulate the career of Holland or Spain, and in spite of all the efforts of those who, like myself, see in a united empire the best guarantee of the prosperity of YOUNG CANADA.
