EXTRACTS. from the FIFTEENTH ANNEAL RE PORT, read at the Annual General Meeting held at the Society's Rouse on Thursday, 18th March, FRANCIS WEBB, Esq., in the chair. The directors have received 3,212 proposals for assur ing the sum of .£972,866 18s. 9d. 2,472 policies were issued, assuring £703,451 4s. and producing in annual premiums the sum of £25,227 Bd. The following tabulated returns exhibit the new busi ness transactions during the three quinquennial periods : ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.L. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 premium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 tho option of rehin ng either an ascertained fixed stun 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 assuring tho lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one 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 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-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 gre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon di*Lrrlal fls n 45.3 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.

This Hospital, founded lu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent ter support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, tho average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 8,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Omits and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ; Harries and no.; Ransom and Co.; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Papia, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co.,:Berners-street ; and at the Hospital from 10 till 5. A Sing Sing convict, named Canter, wbo has bee n e mployed in the clerk's office, has recently been placed i n solitary confinement for fraudulently discharging pri soners for pecuniary considerations long before their tine. One prisoner, named Miller, was reported for discharge by Canter, and had had on his citizen's clothes when it was discovered that he still had nine months to serve. It might be well for some of the prison officials to have control of the important matter of discharging prisoners, and not leave it to one of the convicts, as seems to have been done. The Philadelphia Public Ledger tells the following good story : —The rumour that Gen. Granville M. Dodge, of low's, will succeed to the War Department, recalls the fact that after the close of the war General Dodge was in command of a post in Louisiana. One day the Adjutant- General received an official communication from him, stating that he had been offered $50,000 to wink at certain cotton speculations, and refused it. The bid had been increased to $lOO,OOO, and then to twice that amount. The General said he had refused all the offers, but the last sum was " very near his price," and he wished to be relieved before a, louder call on his probity was made. His request was granted.

One a the most interesting incidents of her journey was her visit to the battle-field of Magenta. She desired to be conducted to the monument raised to the memory of General Espinasse and his brave companions in arms. The monument was illuminated ; the Empress placed some flowers upon it, and waited before it some minutes in prayer. She seemed greatly affected, and gathered a handful of grass as a souvenir of the place. Addressing her suite, who stood at a little distance, she said that she would always regard this visit as one of the dearest recollections of her journey. It is said that the Empress charged M. do Bonneville to entreat the Pope to include 'Monseigneur Darboy in the number of cardinals he proposes to make before the Ecumenical Council. The Liberte declares that the Emperor and the Prince Imperial met with a very cold reception at the race course, in the Bois de Boulogne, and that this was in all proba bility owing to the decree concerning the opening of the Corps Legislatif. Active preparations are being made at Compeigne to prepare the apartments of the Emperor and the Prince Imperial, who are expected to arrive there at the end of this week. The court will remain at Compiegne until the 10th of December, and during its stay the coun cils of Ministers will be held there twice a week. M. Gressier has started for Bordeaux, in order to ascertain the exact particulars connected with the disastrous fire that occurred there. The Emperor has directed that a considerable sum shall be given to the Mayor of Bordeaux, for the relief of the distressed victims of the calamity. Tne aererrea date or the opening of the Chambers . is still the great topic of tho day. The press is full of it, and having almost exhausted reproach, regret, and gloomy prognostications, the non-official journals are now.seek ing in vain to discover the reason for a defiance of public opinion, which appears to be as unreasonable as it is certainly impolitic. The Pub/it, M. Rouher's organ, attributes the delay to the influence of Prince Napoleon and. 31.. Magne. The Gaulois affirms that it is owing to the wish of the Empress, who only agreed t. leavo St. Cloud after exacting a promise from the Emperor that he would not convoke the Chambers until her return. This seems absurd enough but the theory finds supporters. The Libertd yesterday repeats it and gives full details of the eventful Council on Saturday. The Ministers, it says, made no opposition when they heard of the Emperor's promise, though before that the Con ference was animated. To-day the same journal gives another account. The Ministers, it affirms, met at M. de Forc.sde's before proceeding to St. Cloud, and agreed upon the Bth or the 9th of November for the date of con vocation. When they reached the Emperor, they found him somewhat excited. In a brief, but imperative address he said that the pretensions of the Left were extravagant, that he would not be ennuye by M. Raspail, and that wishing to reconcile the wants of the nation with his own authority, he intended to convoke the Chambers for the 6th of December. Whatever the truth of the matter, the blame of the delay is generally attached to the Emperor, and grave suspicions are entertained in many quarters that he has some ulterior motive in pro voking tho people. A riot in the steets on the 26th of October would justify another coup d'etat. All moderat men are anticipating that date with some uneasiness, and with reason. The threatened demonstration of MM. Keratry and M. Raspail, whatever you may think of it politically, will prove a dangerous test to the stability of the Parisians. It is said, though I know net with what truth, that the Extreme Left has a hand in the organisation of the numerous strikes now in progress. All the workmen aro to be free on the 26th October. Such is the word of command. M. Baneel, invited to a banquet at the Drome, sends a letter of excuse. He cannot, he says, delay returning to his post in the state of affairs in Paris. Tho coincidence of the Paris elections is particularly unfortunate, and so the authorities seem to think, for there is a talk of their being deferred until the beginning of December. This would, I fear, be only a fresh cause of irritation. The Vienna Tresse, I must not forget to men tion, explains the prolongation of the recess by the Emperor's desire to complete his negotiations for a general disarmament to be announced in the speech from the Throne. The Hamburg-American Company have ordered a new steamer for their New York line. She will be similar in size and construction to their recent new ones, and will be built and engined by Messrs. Laird and Co., of Greenock, who have built all th 3 vessels of tile company's fleet, with the exception of one constructed at Sou:hamp ton. The new steamer will be named the Thuringia. The following is an extract from the letter of a tourist in the Unitad States :—" I went. over 600 miles of railway, probably destined hereafter to be an immense place. a was exceedingly pleased with the country en route. It really seemed in great part like a succession of gentle men's seats, and one quite expected to s. - ?e turrets and gables peeping out from the , thick wools in the distance. People say why do not English gentlemen come and invest t heir money in laud here for theiryounger sons ? In 20 years they could sell it for four times the price they gave. This is quite t. ue. It is a mistake to suppose that there is any pre judice here against individual Englishmen ; indeed I doubt whether any is entertained against Englishmen at all, although both Germans and Americans look down very much on the Irish ; the whole of this western country is in a very great degree peopled by Germans. In every town there are hundreds of lager beer shops and beer gardens ; and at St. Louis especially, where there are 100,000 Teutons, you might imagine yourself in Bavaria. This German interest is immensely antagonistic to the Irish, and I am disposed to think that the Hibernian day is gone by in this country. Between Germans and China men Paddy will go to the ground. The abuse of England which appears in the press is simply a pandering for the Irish vote, and should be thought nothing of at home, Even in New York the German will soon be the dominant interest if the German population there increases at the present rate." - - - RAILWAY NEWS.—The Central Pacific Railroad Company has succeeded in breaking up the gang of incen diaries, banded for the purpose of destroying its fuel, water-tanks, and stations, in the East Mountains. Among the parties arrested were those who set fire to the snow sheds near Summit a few weeks since. A number of lead ing citizens and railroad men left St. Louis Sept. 13 to celebrate the completion of the road between Leavenworth and Atchison, Kansas.—The managers of the Central Pacific have put emigrant cars on their line at the low rate of $5O ; the chief difference between other passenger cars being that, as they go with the freight trains, they are much longer on the journey.—The Erie Railway Com pany contemplate, it is said, the erection of a road from New York to Newark. It is proposed to build the line from the west end of the tunnel to the depot of the Newark and Paterson Railroad, in Newark. The esti mated cost is 400,000 dollars. Surveyors have been sent out to ascertain the feasibility of building a line near Fort Lee, so as avoid the Bergen tunnel and the drawbridges. The survey of the new route, from the Erie tunnel to the Cattle Yards at Hoboken, has been completed.— The Pacific railroads are doing a good passenger business. Tho train that arrived at Sacramento on the 30th of August consisted of 14 cars, two of them being for second-class through passengers. A large proportion of the second-class travellers are foreigners, many of them scarcely able to make themselves understood in English. Theygo to the Pacific coast in families, evidently intending to make that their home for the future. This train also took over the mountain 130 Chinese labourers, who have been employed on the Virginia City and Truckee Rail road ; also 30 carpenters, who are going out to work on the Western Pacific Railroad.—The last rail of the Leaven worth and Atchison Railroad, connecting the central branch of the Pacific Railroad with Leavenworth and St. Louis, via the Missouri Pacific Railroad, was laid on Sept. 2, and the first train passed over it to Atchison.—The Wall-street Journal says: . "Railroads in the Western States are being pushed with increased zeal, bonding towns and counties, if not lending State credit for the purpose. In Minnesota the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, about ninety miles long, is under contract. There are also roads through each of the lower tier of counties, which will be inter sected by the road from St. Paul to Omaha. There are several other enterprises suggested, and it is said that fire thousand men are now employed in railroad conctruc tion in the State. lu Illinois 'seven new roads are now building. Y One extends • from St. Louis to Rook Island ; a second from St. Louis to Paducah; a third from St. Louis, by Vandalia, to Terre Haute, Indiana, to be worked by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company; a fourth, the Duquesne Road, is extending to Cairo, and also from Duquesne to Paducah. The officers of the Duquesne Road are stimulated by the desire to connect with new roads in progress in the Southern States. Con gress has authorized a bridge over the Ohiu River to Paducah, so that this new road will 17) 5 , this connection. bring St. Louis within 702 miles by railroad of New Or leans, and within 638 of Mobile. These roads are all advancing rapidly, and will be completed at an early day." The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Erie Railway Company will be held at the office, New York, on October 12th ; of the Ohio and Mississippi Rail way Company, at the office in Cincinnati, on October 14th ; of the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company, at the office in Providence, R. 1., on September 28th.
