Tho 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 18s. 3d,, derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d. and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in ro 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 filo 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 ofliceslast absorbed by the company.

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 bo 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 tho same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when oven 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to bo paid._ Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time- be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 those points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors omit - jug 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 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 descript len. Every Policy issued on this plan will be withcrat 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 five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, end others holding policies of this el iss 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 groat importaueo where policies are bell as collateral security. It is only ueeesPary to add that, es n consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitahle and uncon ditional, they will also be utichalleng”able on any g round whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Polieir.s. • The PRUDLNI lAT, A SSUR CIE COMPANY pos r.osses an it ( .

FOREIGN NOTES. TERMINATION OF TUE WAR IN PARAGUAY. At last we have intelligence of the active renewal of military operations in Paraguay, and again have the con sequences been disastrous to the remnant of Lopez's army. The first corps of the Allies, under their new commander in -chief, has advanced into the interior against the position held by Lopez on the mountains. One town has been destroyed, and a great number of Paraguayan families " rescued." One English and two American officers have been allowed to cross the allied lines to communicate with the Paraguayans —an admis sion which confirms our telegram that communication with General MacMahon, the American Ambassador, was previously refused. This news comes through the Brazilian Legation in London. Information from other sources points still more plainly to the end of this contest. The Oirl hears from a Brazilian source that President Lopez, through the mediation of the United States Minister, has obtained terms from the Allies, in virtue of which he agrees to surrender his army on condition of 1 ring permitted to leave the country. This wi:l be good news for the wo. n-out nations of the La Plata. The intellig,ence of the mediation of the United States was welcomed with the greatest enthusiasm on both banks of the river. In all the region affected by the war peace is most earnestly desired. Tlc SOUIIIERN STATE 3 AFTER TIE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. The Southern' cause, which commanded so much English sympathy and involved this country in a difficulty of which we have not yet seen the end, is, it appears, now discarded even by those who fought for it. A gentleman who has been in the South, in a letter to a prominent member of the present Government, says the Southerners have now found out that the civil war was in every respect a mistake. They fought for slavery, and they have since discovered that slavery was not 'worth fighting for. They are better off without than with it. The writer says : "I never felt so ashamed of our sympathy wits the Southerners as when I was in the South. The slaveowners tell you with the most brazen faces that they are better now than they were before. One large slaveowner said to me, The Yankees whipped us out of slavery, but they could not whip us into it again.' Another told me he grew larger crops with twenty-five free negroes than he had done with seventy-five slaves. They have found out already that the rebellion was, economically, an enormous blunder ; a handsome cause for us to encourage them in, thereby estranging the North for a generation or two!" MR. WEBB AND THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT. We have already announced that the quarrel between Mr. Webb, the American Ambassador at Rio Janeiro, and the Brazilian Ministry was " made up " before the former left for the United States. This reconciliation was brought about by the English Ambassador. A veryangry, indeed improper, note from Mr. Webb was treated as if it bad not been received, and assurances of a friendly cha racter were exchanged between Lim and the Brazilian Foreign Minister. Mr. Webb left Rio Janeiro because, like all the other representatives of the United States at foreign Courts, he had been replaced on the accession to Dower of General Grant. 11. ROCHEFORT AND "LA LANTERNE." The French Government mercilessly continues its war with M. Henri Rochefort, the lively editor of La Lan. terne, who so narrowly escaped being returned for Paris. An old charge against two persons of illegally intro. ducing the Lanterne into France— a charge which was disposed of so far back as last January—has actually 'been brought up again in a modified form, and tried a second time in Paris, in order that M. Rochefort might be included as one of the culprits. He has been sentenced to a heavy fine and imprisonment, and deprived of his rights as a French citizen. The Belgian Government, too, has been enlisted as an ally against him. The Lan (erne, which was published in Brussels after its expulsion from Paris, has been forbidden there. M. Rochefort must discontinue the paper or leave the country: The satirist has proved a bitter enemy to the French Govern- ment ; and, in consequence, he now finds no rest for the solo of his foot. BELGIUM AND FRANCE. This extinction of the Lanterne is probably one of the means employed by the Belgian Government to con ciliate France. We are told in various quarters that people at Brussels are getting very frightened over this railway question. The correspondent of the Liberte goes so far as to affirm that preparations have been made for ' an invasion of Belgium by the French troops. Should this event Uwe place, the seat of the Belgian Government will be transferred to Anvers, which has been very strongly and very hurriedly fortified of late, and the French will be left in peace until assistance arrives from England, Prussia, and Holland. In the best circles at Brussels it is loudly maintained that Belgium will yield no more on the railway question. It appears that Austria, as well as England, has inter fered in this curious imbroglio. Count Beust has addressed a despatch to the Austrian chargJ d'offaires at Brussels, in which ho expresses the opinion that the independence of Belgium will be iu nu way compromised by a Belgian railway being handed over to the control of a French company. Would the Austrian Government be pleased if one of its railways were leased to a Russian company? The Paris Temps thinks that the effect of this despatch will be far from reassuling. DELMAN MINISTRY. The Patric etAtes Wit two—nf Ministers, MM. Fere•Orban and Bara, have announced their absolute intention of resigning. Th. King has, however, prevailed upon them to keep their portfolios for a few days longer. It is said that M. Teach will then b e appointed to succeed M. PriTe-Orban as the head of the Cabinet, and the Patric believes that the new coiner will be disposed to grant " all the demands of France" on the railway question. SPAIN. The new Spanish Parliament decidedly differs in one respect from its predecessors. If it cannot be called a Free Trade Assembly, it skews no disposition to favour Protection. During the last few days the import duties have been the subject of debates and divisions ; but all attempts to increase prohibitory imposts have failed. A SCANDINAVIAN UNION. Princess Louise, the only child of the King of Sweden, is to be married to the Crown Prince of Denmark. Hopes were entertained that this alliance would lead to a Scandi navian union; but the Salic law, excluding women from the throne, prevails in Sweden, and the rumour that it was to be set aside in order to bring Norway, Sweden, and Den mark under one Crown is, according to the Owl, incorrect. The marriage, however, must greatly strengthen the friendship already existing between the three countries. KIDNAPPING SOUTH SEA ISLANDEUS. The Daily News expresses itself scarcely satisfied with the answer given by Mr. Monsell on Monday night when questioned respecting the kidnapping of the South Sea islanders for service in Queensland. The case is this : The planters of Queensland possess every advantage except the all-important one of labour. They have climate, fine soil, and remune rative markets, but by no means sufficient human mate rial to utilise these blessings. To remedy this defect, the Queenslanders send to the South Sea Islands, inviting the unoccupied inhabitants to come over and help them, promising ample reward. The savages accept the offer, and come ; but they soon find their condition very diffe rent from that promised them. The islander finds himself a slave, bound to a master, and no longer a free azent. The news of this treatment soon reaches the islanders, and they naturally refuse to exchange the enjoyment of their sunny climes for slavery in Queensland. No .more will go ; the supply of labour ceases, and in order to keep it up the agents take to kid napping. Then grow up all the horrors of the slave trade. The vessels prowl about among the islands, raids are made upon the islanders, in which the men are carried off, and the ship—no longer an emigrant ship, but in every sense a slaver—returns to port with her cargo of stolen savages, who, if not actually sold, are practically enslaved. This is the history of Queensland emigration. The Under-Secretary for the Colonies stated on Monday night that the strictest conditions had been imposed on the importation of these islanders ; but the question is whethei those conditions are observed. Mr. Taylor and Mr. R. Fowler argued they were not; and the Daily News is of the same opinion. More stringent conditions are to be im• posed in future ; but why, asks the Daily News, should this immigration be encouraged at all? It is practically imm possible to conclude a satisfactory bargain of this kind between a superior and an inferior race. Abuses rnwi arise from such a system. Hon Morton M'Michael, accompanied by hrs.
