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 this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUNE, 1863.

HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d, and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 £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 re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured aro 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 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES. Interest due to proprietors £6,977 13 3 Claims on decease of lives assured, and additions thereto unpaid 61,530 4 5 Sundry accounts Liability under sums assured, &c.

On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies.

On Thursday a telegram from Washington was published showing that the Senate by 40 votes to 16 had passed a resolution proposing a Constitu tional Amendment, to which the Representatives bad previously agreed, though it is now back in the House for concurrence in Amendments. The pro posal is one which has lately much occupied the at tention both of Congress and of the States, and when the Federal Legislature met resolutions to the effect were introduced by many Senators and Re presentatives. The one upon which action has been taken was that introduced by Mr. BOUTWELL, which was fiercely attacked by Mr. ELDRIDGE on the 27th January, who denied the right of Congress to meddle in the matter; he considered it to be au attempt to reorganize the States that did not rebel, and if the party forced it on the country it would be a shameful violation of pledges and faith, and had it been known that such a result would have followed, the Republican candidates, notwithstand ing their personal popularity, would have been de feated for President and Vice-President. We quote Mr. ELDRIDGE, because his is one way of regarding the subject. The amendment Congress proposes for the Constitution is to prohibit any disqualifica tion in the exercise of the suffrage on account of race, colour, nativity, property, education, or creed. The correspondent of the Times telegraphs the resolution in a way. calculated to mislead those who understand the Government of the Republic so little as do the English— " The Constitutional Amendment enacting Negro suf frage has been passed by the Senate." The Senate cannot enact a Constitutional Amend ment, nor can Congress. Every amendment must be submitted to the States, and it is necessary for three-fourths to concur before the Constitution can be so amended. Suffrage is a State, not a Federal matter, and in consequence the laws relating, thereto vary considerably; ;Viable, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin admit no distinction of colour ; in New York, a negro to be qualified must own a free hold worth $250. Other States deny thg right to the Africans while allowing it in a qualified way to the Indians; for instance, Michigan, California, and Minnesota, and Wisconsin till lately. In Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, and Illinois it is not absolutely essential to be a citizen to exercise the suffrage. A law in force in the Pacific States of California, Oregon, and Ne vada, expressly excludes Chinamen ; and it is in the face of this that we anticipate future difficulty should the proposed amendment eventually he car ried. There is no use in closing our eyes to facts which, if ignored, may eventuate in their being dis agreeably opened. The Pacific States are placed in a very peculiar position. Their's is not a negro difficulty, yet it may become a problem even harder to solve. These States possess the most inviting of all territories within reachof an Empire densoly, peopled by a race wholly dissimilar from native Americans. Trade between these countries is rapidly on the in crease ; the Chinese, who in these States have proved useful, are becoming more and more a colo nizing people ; and should it happen that the mania for emigration spreads into the interior of the Flowery Empire, they might settle over the fair face of California like locusts, swamping the Anglo- Saxon race. The negro is a fixed quantity, for which provision can be made ; the Chinese inroad is an unknown quantity, the uncertainty adding mystery, and giving scope for exaggeration. That there is a dread of what may happen, not only on the Pacific slope but throughout Australia, is clear from the legislative action of both countries. The testimony of a Chinaman was recently rejected in a California Court, on the ground that he was not a "person" within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendmen t. Those the inroad does not threaten may condemn such action as illiberal, and opposed to all principles of freedom, as well as of Christianity ; but those who are threatened scout the argument and enforce the restriction, broadly asserting that it is a measure of safety and future well-being, not of argument, which they freely concede it cannot bear. From this will flow an opposition, the full force of which, added to the existing dislike to the negro, the proposed Constitutional Amend ment . will have to overcome. In 1865 twelve amendments to the Constitution had. been passed, but in that year, as the grand result of the war, a thirteenth was added abolishing slavery for ever iu the Republic. The fourteenth amendment was the one enforced on the unrecon structed States, by which all persons born or natu ralized in the Union were made citizens, both of the Republic and of the State wherein they reside, and no State shall have power to abridge their equal rights before the law. Another section apportioned the Representatives in the several States counting every one except untaxed Indians, but curtailing the number in proportion, as the State disqualifies its male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age. Herein, then, we see that the thirteenth amendment abolishes slavery, the fourteenth amendment makes citizens of all persons born or naturalized within the United States, and apportions to each State Federal representation in proportion to the population per mitted to vote. The resolution now passed by Con gress proposing a fifteenth amendment will pro hibit race, colour, nativity, property, education, or creed from being a bar to the suffrage. If this be car ried, another blow will be struck at States Rights. In Massachusetts no one is entitled to vote or can hold office who cannot read the Constitution in English, and write his name; that must be abolished. In Rhode Island the voter must own real estate worth $134 ; in North Carolina, a freehold of 50 acres for six. months—that will be abolished. Then the mass of the States which enact that no negro or mulatto has the right of suffrage will have to rescind such law, but there are a few States it will not affect, such as Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Under the rule of the Republican party the Republic has ad vanced to an unequalled degree of freedom; it may be that the advance is too rapid, and that a reac tion will follow ; but whatever may be the result, under such leaders as SUMNER and THAD. STEVENS the party has made a noble effort to clothe man in all his natural rights; and if, like some of the in corrigible paupers of English unions, he cuts up from pure wantonness the clothes in which he has been arrayed, it will only furnish another proof of the " cussedness" of human nature. Let us hope that an effort so grand may meet the success it merits. Old Irish Whisky is re commendedholders of Whisky in the world.
