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 45 12s. per cent. The premiums on naw assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decks ge of lives assured are nearly iden ticalnd in amount wit h those of 1866. The y are less than ma of the risks those of last year by n earl y £19,000. A considerable redu ction, too, appears in the amount of e-a premiums in r a e t - e as s u b y r a ndc:a,th a ny other causes. The expenses of manage ment are less than those o f l as t rPssrucilmhsav pmagidtefromr year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final clot ing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

GEORGE WOOD, Secretary. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, 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 pentium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of prr 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 lihewise 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 witboul 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 kngest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others bolding 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 are nem as where policies It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence m tue policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditionAl, they will also be unehallengeable on any ,:rountl whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Polices. The PRUDENTIAL ASSUR ANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of X 2 15,600 a year Its position is no questionahlo, and it obtains the largest amonut of now bu,in , ,s of any oftice in the Kingdom.

The announcement that General Dulce had resigned because of the hostility of the volunteers caused great excitement, but Marshal Serrano asked the deputies to suspend their judgment until they knew all. General Dulce's leniency to the rebels is sup. posed to be the cause of his recall. It was at first arranged that General Caballero de Itodas would start on the 15th, but he is to go, says the Times correspondent, a once; 5,000 troops will follow. MIL MOTLEY'S INSTIWCTIONS. According to the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the only trustworthy information respecting the instructions to Mr. Motley is that theyare more of a general than a specific character, and do not contemplate any speedy action on his part with regard to the Alabama claims. " In view of the present sentiment in England upon the subject, if for no other reason, Mr. Motley will inform her Majesty's Government of the desire of our own to adjust all pending questions on a basis that will strengthen the friendly re lations between the two countries." THE REGENCY PROJECT IN SPAIN. The project of a law relative to the appointment of a req.ent in place of a king, provides that all the functions of royalty shall be conferred upon the Regency, except the right of dissolving the National Assembly, which reserves the right of pronouncing its own dissolution. TIIE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Patrie is informed that a new line of railway is to be constructed in Belgium to join the French system. This new line will be a branch of the Grand Luxembourg, and will extend only for a few miles on Belgian territory, but a short line in France will connect it with the entire network of French lines; and thus, says the Pattie, the means of international communication between the two countries will be more complete than ever. CONSULAR COURTS IN EGYPT. The Berlin correspondent of the Indtpendance Bilge says that the Porte is offended at the conduct of the Vice. roy of Egypt in negotiating with European Powers for the abolition of the capitulations. These capitulations cause the Egyptian Government infinite annoyance in the shape of the independent jurisdiction of the Con sular Courts. The Turkish Government is quite as desirous of their abolition as is the Viceroy, but as the capitula tions were established by treaties concluded by the Porte as sovereign power, so their repeal ought to be negotiated in the same way. These representations have been taken into consideration by the various Powers ; but they do not, says the Independance, appear disposed to repeal the capitulations. INDIA AND AFFGHANISTAN. The doings of Shere Ali, the Ameer of Affghanistan, continue to be of the peace and goodwill type. He has celebrated his visit to Umballa by getting married. Just before he departed from Peshawur Shere Ali sent a tele gram to her Majesty, expressive of his thanks for the gratifying manner in which he had been received in India by her Majesty's Indian Government and officers of every grade. Her Maj es ty's re ply was very prompt, and reached the Ameer in the Khyber Pass before he had got beyond Jumrood. The Queen expressed her satisfaction that his Highness's reception by the Indian Government had been satisfactory to him, and hoped that lasting amity would be established between the two countries. OPIUM GROWING IN CHINA. A very important piece of intelligence comes from China by the Indian mail. The Emperor of China has by pro clamation forbidden the cultivation of the poppy through. out his dominions. The prohibition is to be most rigidly enforced. Acting upon the intelligence, which is aquestionable, the Government of India has called upon that of Bengal to promptly consider the advisability of considerably enlarging the area of opium cultivation in Bengal. CHMESE PROGRESS. The Patrie is a cantankerous paper. It will not believe the telegram from China, published in the English papers, to the effect that the French Ambassador at Pekin had been struck by a Chinese magnate. It is quite at liberty to adopt this tone of incredulity, but it has no right to say, as it does, that this story was invented by " the English cabal of the old political school." The great desire of this cabal, continues the friendly semi. official paper, is to get up a diplomatic embroglio in order to retard the development of the Liberal policy which the Chinese Government has inaugurated. Sir Rutherford Alcock recently stated that the Chinese had no desire for the introduction of European arts and manu factures into their country. The Patrie gives Sir Ruther ford the lie direct. The Pekin Government is about to make use of steam vessels for the purpose of putting down piracy; it Las issued the strictest orders for the protection of Protestant and Catholic missionaries and traders ; and, lastly, gas has made its appearance At th e _ -A. ca.. 3 to promote progress in China, and has just replaced the American Ambassador because the latter spoke slightingly of Mr. Burlingbame's mission. The Pa ! r ie,bowev er e seems to forget that the President of the United States has changed his ambassadors all over the world. As to putting down piracy, we are glad to hear of the Chinese Govern ment's good intentions, but hitherto piracy has been, and still is, put down by English gunboats. The strict orders for the protection of the missionaries have yet to be obeyed. Nothing could be more pleasant than to learn that the Patrie is right ; but there is too much reason to fear that Sir Rutherford Alcock's statements have not yet been refuted. THE DUKE OF ARGYLL'S EASTERN POLICY. The Times of India finds reason to complain of the Duke of Argyll's policy touching the very unattractive affairs of Oman and Zanzibar. Syud Madjid of Zanzibar, has to pay a yearly tribute of from 20,000 to 40,000 crowns to Oman, which tribute the Times of India considers an " accepted and just obligation to his father's original kingdom." But however accepted and just, the refractory Madjid does not want to pay it, and he has proposed that if relieved from it he would endeavour in return to suppress the slave trade in Zanzibar and the East coast generally. " This proposal found great favour in the eyes of his Grace the Duke of Argyll, who conceived it would be a righteous and excellent thing to indent on the Indian revenues in order to secure the carrying out of Syud Madjid's newly-found philanthropy. His Grace was of opinion that as India is largely interested in the suppres sion of the East African slave trade, that interest might be cheaply compounded for by the annual payment to Oman of the 20,000 or 40,000 crowns rightly due from Zanzibar." The Times concludes that the proposition is monstrous. BUDGET OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEM.S.—The New York State Sportsmen's Convention was to meet in Syra cuse last Monday, the 31st of May.
