The Times, without endeavouring to shew what these remarkabletumults really were, is pretty positive as to what they were not. They differ entirely from the revolutionary troubles. The insurgents who have at different times manned the Paris barricades may have been foolish, fanatic, and wicked, but they have always been brave. They have fought hand to hand for hours with regular troops such as no other mob has ever done. But the rioters of last week did nothing but destroy property. They fled precipitately from the troops, and even from the police. They were apparently the dregs of the population. Their movements were altogether at variance with ordinary insurgent tactics. None of the Republican leaders figured amongst them. The Times will not countenance the charge that the riots were purposely got up by the Government ; but it is cer tain that they were not an insurrectionary movement on the part of the people. Whatever may have Leen the cause of these dis turbances, their results are substantial enough. Not fewer than 1,033 individuals are now incarcerated in the fort at Biultre, and 27 are in the Paris Conciergerie.

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. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active 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. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of thi s bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUNE, 1868.

The interest received during - the year is £117,584 75. 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 snore than 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LFORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, 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 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, 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 premium paid, ly aring 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 fixcd 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 assuring the 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 ad'ances 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 witharkt 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 f❑ll benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. it is outs neees,ary to :1(1(1 that, as n consequence , of the rolicies under those tThlos helm: unforfeituble and uncon ditional,.t hey mill als.) ho urchallengeablo on any ground whatever. l'hey may therefore ho aptly termed Absolute Security The PIM DE:\ 11.17, ASSURANCE COMPANY pos p,,,sses an inrome of V 15,0110 a. yonr Its position is un• questionablo, and it obtains the birgest amount of new bu:incoss of any or ice in the Kingdom.

The Empress of Austria is immensely popular amongst the Magyars, and, according to an interesting letter in the Incl ,, rendance Beige, the reconciliation of Hungary and the regeneration of the Austrian Empire was due largely to this most charming of regal ladies. Shortly after her marriage, says the writer, the Empress went but little into the world, and was not popular with the lively Viennese. Nevertheless, she took a keen interest in the affairs of her country, and her intel ligence enabled her to foresee that the policy of the Austrian Government would end in Sadowa, even long before that catastrophe took place. She was opposed to the Italian war in 1859, and urged the policy of reconciliation with Hungary. But her advice was not only not taken, but very ungraciously received by her husband. Her position became a very difficult one. When, however, it was seen that she had been more farsighted than the Em peror and his advisers, he at once rendered her justice. His former confidants were set aside r itatd.the Empress was listened to on an equality with the first statesmen. Hungary is now her favoured residence, and her long sojourns there are regarded with some jealousy by the Viennese. THE VICEROY OF EGTPT. The Khedive is rapidlyprogressing with his tour through Europe. He has passed through Germany, is now in Paris, and will soon be in England. Why he has under taken this journey, so soon after a former perambulation of the kind, is naturally the subject of some diverse specula tion. To travel through Europe for the purpose merely of inviting sovereigns to the inauguration of the Suez Canal is a strange and undignified proceeding, and it does not seem credible that the Viceroy could have set out with that object alone. He may, and probably does, prefer the gay capitals of Europe to Cairo. Ho may desire guarantees for the neutrality of the Suez Canal. But the Advertiser will have neither of these theories. The Khedive, according to the Paris correspondent of this journal, has no lesser object in view than the reali sation of his long-cherished dream to transform the European consulates in his dominions to embassies. " Should he succeed in his object, he will throw off the Ottoman yoke, disavow the suzerainty, and thus commence the disintegration of that crumbling empire." The Sultan has divined this neat project, and is naturally " furious" with the Khedive. Of course, owing to the intimate relations between Egypt and France, the Viceroy looks to the Emperor as his chief ally in the enterprise of rejecting the domination of the Porte. THE JEWS IN ROUMANIA. The Be, lin Correspondanee gives a very curious explana tion of the persecutions of the Roumanian Jews which we are ever and anon bearing of It says that the sale of intoxicating liquors among the rural population is almost exclusively in the hands of the Jews, and so great is the passion of the peasant for strong drink that it has been found necessary at various times to restrict or pro hibit its sale in the open country by the Jewish retailers. These enactments, however, have not been regularly enforced, and the Servian and Roumanian Government have been often constrained to make spasmodic efforts to drive the Jewish liquor-vendors out of the agricultural dis tricts back into the towns. Hence the stories of persecu tion, which, the Berlin Correspondance thinks, have been greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, the Servian and Ron .uanian Governments are bound to avoid, as much as pos sible, all "spasmodic efforts" to enforce decrees which are not properly carried out bythe authorities. AUSTRIA AliD TURKEY. Eastern affairs are once more beginning to exhibit signs of effervescence. A rumour having been in circulation that Austria was meditating the conquest of Bosnia, Count Andrassy, the Hungarian Premier has assured the Pesti: Piet that nothing of the kind is intended. This waif is not the only indication that the tide of Eastern politics is once more flawing in a troublesome direction. It it surprising that they have kept quiet so long. We have hail no Oriental trouble since the Greek Conference —a circumstance of surprising and refreshing novelty. THE IN,SURRECTION IN ORENBURG. The revolt of the nomadic tribes on the extreme frontier of European Russia is well-nigh terminated. One of the leaders has submitted to the reform which provoked the insurrection—viz., that the arbitrary power of the chiefs of these Eirghis tribes be lessened, and that the authority of the Russian Government be more gene rally acknowledged. The rest arc expected to follow the xample. THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. The Parliament of the Canadian Dominion has passed resolutions with a view to the incorporation of the Hud son's Bay Territory by a majority of 111. INDIAN OUTRAGES IN THE UNITED STATES. The perennial war with the Indians of the United States has once more broken out, and is characterised by numerous outrages on the part of the coloured comba tants. Twenty white persons were killed in the week ending June 1. The destruction of property is likewise great. The Government have resolved to carry on hos tilities with great vigour, and General Sheridan has been sent to take command of the army. WOMEN ACROBATS. A Philadelphia paper contains a long advertisement of an acrobatic performance by girls, which outdoes even the horrors of London and Paris. This entertainment is thus described :—" Lilla, a charming blonde of about 18 years of age, first swung off from the platform on the second tier, and catching the trapeze with her feet, hung down with her face towards the audience. The daring Zoe, amidst a breathless silence, seized the rings, flew off, and turned a complete summersault, finally catching the outstretched hands of the pendant Lila. Shouts of applause greeted this wonderful performance." The "daring Zoe," it may be added, is about 12 years of age. The New York papers, even the foremost, are in raptures with this new phase of civilisation. William Griffith, who lost both arms while firing a salute in honour of General Grant some time ago, was appointed, May 24, a watchman at the Treasury Depart ment at the request of the President. The memo from the President, recommending his appointment, was as fellows: —"Will7arn Griffith.—lf possible, I wish the Se cretary of the Treasury would give the bearer a watch man's place. 116 met with the misfortune from which . he suffers, under my eyes, and I feel a sympathy for him.— U. S. GRANT." Assistant-Treasurer Van Dyck has forwarded his resignation to Washington, so as to take effect on June 1. Rumour says State Senator Folger, of Now York, is to be his successor. A telegram from St. Louis states :—" General Wyndham, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's forces in British North America; 0. S. Stevenson, General Freight Agent of the Grand Trunk Railway; and S. T. Webster of Chicago, General Agent of the National Steam ship Company of Liverpool, are purchasing lands in Man hattan County, Kansas. An immense emigration from Canada is going into Kansas, and great numbers of new comers are settling along the line of the Kansas Pacific Railroad." His Excellency Anson Burlingame arrived at the Grosvenor Hotel, London, from Paris, last Tuesday. An American paper says he administered the following rebuke to some foreigners, who raised the question of rank : " We receive all gentlemen as occupying a common level. But if you raise the question of position, we outrank you. You are nothing but dukes, marquises, and counts. we belong to the royal family. We are the equals of our Pre sident. We aro all heir apparents to the throne. We stand up for our order, and if need be, we fight for our order." - - - Brevet Brigadier-General Badean has been placed by order of the President on the list of retired officers of long and faithful service, with full rank of captain. Seve ral of the clubs in London have elected him as an honorary member since his arrival in the metropolis with Mr. Motley as Assistant Secretary of Legation. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A.
