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 this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of ..£772,740 13s. 9d.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 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 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 premi'ims 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 b-} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS ALLEN , Auditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. 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 corn pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

The Directors of this CoMpany, in deference to en ob jection not uufrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that th e ordinary ietude of Life Assurance is in their opinion defe c ti ve or uncerta i n, b y reason o f th e 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 chills 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 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 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 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 longest term provided for is twenty-fire 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 are held as collateral security. r t ab l es b t o l e s u add being that, as a conse quence o f th e nforfeitable a n d uncon ditional, they will also be unchall engea bl e on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absoluto S ec urity Policies . . po l li t ci ls e : u n n lY de n r e t ee he ssa se Th e PRIIDEIS TIAL tSSTJRANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year .

The determination of the Conservative party to opp-rs - _ , the second reading of the Irish Church Bill is a atriums matter. Not, of course, that they have the least ch-1 , 17e of throwing it out in the Commons. The gravity of the movement consists in the indication which it gives of the intention to obstruct the bill at all hazards, even at the risk of bringing about a collision between the Upper House and the nation. The notice of amendment was agreed to at Lord Derby's house in St. James's-squaro, on Thursday afternoon, when the leaders of the party, including Mr. Disraeli, Lord Cairns, Lord Stanley, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Mr. Hardy had a conference. So that it is not a mere House of Commons move ; it is a move sanctioned by the Conserva tive party generally, and must therefore be supported in the House of Lords. There, as everyone knows, the Government are in a minority ; in fact, their minority is just about the same as their majority in the Lower House, from 100 to 115 votes. Clearly, therefore, the Peers can, if they please, throw out the bill ; and Lord Derby's sanction of Mr. Disraeli's amendment implies that their present intention is to throw it out. The coursewhich Mr. Gladstone will adopt will then be a matterof intense interest and importance. Resignation will be out of the question. No Minister with a decent majority in the Lower House ever thinks it necessary to resign because of a defeat in the Upper. He might either submit to the defeat as a temporary check and reintroduce the bill next session, trusting to the popular clamour which the opposition of the Lords would be certain of exciting, to deter them from repeating their veto ; or he might appeal to the people against the Peers ; with what result it is easy to guess. Thus the party really endangered by the resolution adopted at Lord Derby's is not the Ministerialists, but the Peers. These are delibe rately putting themselves into the same perilous position that they assumed. so unwisely in 1831, and from which they were obliged to retreat in such an undignified manner. I ought to add that some of the Conservative party believe that they will be able so to impede the passage of the bill in the Lower House as to prevent its reaching the Upper this session. There are likely to be some lively debates even before Thursday week. Mr. Childers moves the Navy Estimates .on Monday, and a very interesting speech is expected from him, and a long discussion respecting our naval policY. On Wednesday the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Bill is down for a second reading, and will be opposed by Mr. Headlam, whose constituents are greatly interested in the matter. The second order of the day is the Solicitor-General's University Tests Bill, which Mr. Mowbray, in his new capacity as M.P. for Oxford University, will move be read that day six months. I need scarcely say that if this measure is thrown out at all, this will not happen in the Lower House. There is to be a fight raised by Mr. Seely, on the Post-office Packet Contracts with the Cunard and Inman lines, which are supposed to be somewhat of a Conservative job. One of the most Tory members in the House, Sir Lawrence Palk, is going to move for a return which was moved for some forty years ago by a tremendous Radical, Admiral Cochrane (afterwards the Earl of Dundonald), viz., " a return of the names of all recipients of pensions under the Crown." The times are changed, and a motion which was deemed absolutely revo lutionary when made by the member for Westminster may now be made with impunity and without remark by the member for East Devon. I am glad to say that Mr. Stapleton, M.P. for Berwick on-Tweed, means to ask the Postmaster-General if there is any intention to reduce the postage on newspapers. For a long time past it has been felt that to lay a tax of 10J per cent. upon a newspaper for the transmission of it, is monstrously unjust. The burden has become more glaringly intolerable by reason of the establishment of several half penny journals. I have reason to know that the matter has been under the attention of Mr. Scudamore, and that in all probability some reduction would have been made before this if it had not been that he has been entirely occupied with the arrangements for purchasing the telegraphs. There is this amount of truth in the report that the Saurin trial will be heard over again, that the Lord Chief Justice, when trying the case, said that he should reserve the point raised by Mr. Mellish as to there being no ground of action at all. It is argued in legal circles that Miss Saurin having failed to avail herself of the remedy which lay open to her—an appeal to Archbishop Manning, and from him to the Pope—she had no right to appear in court. The only ground that she could have had was that she had received a wrong for which there was no remedy. But there was a remedy, and she did not use it. This will probably be the ground taken before the judges at West minster, and it is thought by many persons that the verdict of the jury will' be set aside. The costs of the defendants were not less than £6,000, and should the appeal go against them there will be the plaintiff's costs to pay as well. I need scarcely say that Mrs. Starr will not be able to pay them. There is some talk of a subscription among Roman Catholics, and of course the Marquis of Bute's broad shoulders are expected to bear a large portion of the heavy load. Au attempt has been made to estimate the cost of this unwieldy trial. Thus there is the Lord Chief Justice, who gets £32 a day, which for twenty days would be ti-10, then there is the pay of all the officials and policemen, and the use of the building. But the heaviest item of all would be that incurred by the postponing of 190 suits, which could not be heard because this monster trial stopped the way. Mr. Millais, I am glad to say, is convalescent ; but I fear he will not have anything at this year's Royal Academy. Mr. William Gilbert, author of "Shirley Hall Asylum," and the lately-published " Lucrezia Borgia," is talked of as the new editor of Tinsley's Magazine, in succession to Mr. Yates. Mr. Sala is writing a new book on Spain, to be illustrated by Gustave Dori. PAPAL AFFAIRS. FLORENCE, 3Luten 1. The special services of the War and Home Depart ments, which during the past week have occupied almost exclusively the attention of the Chamber, offer only one point of the slightest general interest —namely, the restora tion of the territorial military commands. There were five of these in Italy up to their abolition under the late Government. They were supposed to savour too much of a despotic and Napoleonic regime, and were, in fact, nearly identical in nature with the corresponding institutions in vigour in France. It has been found, however, that the geographical conformation of Italy renders them indis pensable. Its elongated form, and the great distance of the large centres, such as Milan and Naples, demand a certain amount of decentralisation in its military organisation. The hostility which was evinced to the measure was more or less appeased by a slight change in the appellation of the new posts, and by the reduction of their number from five to three. To the surprise of all parties, the last difficulty was removed by a proposition of Ratazzi to refer the item to the category of extraordinary expenses, by which manoeuvre votes were obtained from those members who were disinclined to prejudge the principle of the institution previously to the consideration of the promised law on army reorganisation. The leader of the Opposition, ill fact, helped Government out of a scrape in the teeth of his own party. The division by "Appel nominal" spewed a change of opinion in several mem bers who voted for the suppression of these commands in 1857. The War Budget was got over in four sittings, and and since then that of the Interior has been under discussion. It is to - be hoped that the expedition with which . the former has been passed is the commencement of an improvement in the transaction of business ; unnecessary prolixity in debate having been hitherto one of the greatest among the minor sins of the Italian Parliament. - D'Ondes R i ezzio's bill has bee n taken into consideration by the House, and has consequently gone back into com mitteee to be reported upon. Its aim is twofold: to open the university diplomas to non-resident students who may present themselves for examination, and to permit the establishment of free schools. There is little or no chance of its passing, its principle being at variance with the theories on State control which are in fashion among most continental Liberals. The Minister of Public Instruction indeed went so far as to say that, when the measure came to be discussed, he would be prepared to shew that a more direct and stringent control over educa tion would have to be vested in the Government.
