amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact diet 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 Firo
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.

THE LATEST APPOINTMENT.

Whatever may be thought of the appointment of
Mr. Gladstone's son to a lordship of the Treasury, it
is not very graceful of the Standard to call the
nomination "an atrocious job." Lord Derby made
his son Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in 1852,
and then Lord Stanley was a younger man than Mr.
W. 11. Gladstone is now, and had been in Parlia-
ment no longer. The parallel would not justify the
present appointment if better claims have been over-
looked; but at any rate there is nothing of the
"atrocious job " character about it.

THE AMERICAN DEBT.

HerapaA's Railway Journal is one of the authori-
ties which strive to counteract the distrust felt by
the English middle classes in American bonds. Why
the central Washington treasury should be suspected
of dishonour because Pennsylvania aid a few other
States suspended the payment of interest on their
bonds, the railway journal cannot toll. All the
facts point to tho other conclusion. The
Americans are, paving off their enormous debt with
the utmost rapidity. Whilst most nations spend
more and receive less thita they calculate on;
the American Treasury for the year 1868-9 has a
surplus of not less than ten millions sterling, although
the yearly interest on the national obligations
amounts to 130,000,000 dollars 1 " That such a
result should have been achieved within four years of
the close of a great civil war which convulsed
American society to its centre, is one of those marvels

Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, London, on TITESD AY, the 16th
day of November, 1869, at Four o'clock, for the following pur-
poses:-
Ist—That Article 2 of the Articles of Association of the Com-
pany, which was by inadvertence omitted to be expunged at the
time alterations were made in the said A rticles by a special re-
solution of the Company, duly confirmed on the 6th day of May,
1869, may be now expunged, and treated as having been expunged
on the said eth day of May, 13 ; and that the rights, resolutions
of the Company, and all other persons, may be such as they
would have been if the said Article 2 had been dnly:xpunged
on the said 6th day of May, 1869.
2nd—That Article 55 of the said Articles of Association may
be varied by giving power, if they think it desirable to do so, t.,

THE CHINESE IN AMERICA.

Whether the negroes of Louisiana like the importation
of the Chinese or not they will have to submit to the
infliction. Five shiploads of Celestials are on their way to
the State, and they have agreed to do any kind of work which
happens to come first. They only stipulate for nine dollars a
month and rations. It is not abad bargain for the employers,
as the Chinese have also agreed to refund the money paid
for their passage to the United States, and bind themselves
over for a period of five years. The Chinese are to be set
to work on sugar and rice plantations. The negroes have
called a Convention at Baton Rouge to consider the pro-
tection of their own interests, and they are evidently a
little afraid of their new competitors.

GLASGOW AND EDINI3URGN UNIVERSITIES.

Mr. E. S. Gordon, the Conservative candidate for
the Scotch universities, seems to be preferred by the
medical portion of the constituency. Mr. Archi-
bald Smith, the Liberal, has only vague
generalities to offer the profession, but Mr.
Gordon has precise reforms in view. He thinks
that a new medical act is required in more compre-
hensive and clear terms for the purpose of preventing
the assumption of medical titles by quacks ; that the
general councils should be constituted on a more
popular basis than at present ; and that medical men
are not sufficiently remunerated for their services to
paupers under the employment of the poor-law autho-
rities. Besides these reforms Mr. Gordon advocates
others more especially applicable to Scotland.

DU. TEMPLE AND CONVOCATION.

Much has been said in the Temple controversy
about the condemnation of "Essays and Reviews" by
Convocation. But, after all, that condemnation was
left incomplete. It is quite true that a " synodical
judgment" was given by the Upper House and
concurred in by the Lower although on
different grounds in the two cases; but in order
to render the whole proceeding a formal act it was
necessary that the two Houses should have been
re-united—in reality they are but one House—and
the " judgment" formally drawn up and signed by the
president and all members of the Synod present, as the
act of the thole body. This proceeding is of constitu-
tional importance. Why, then, was it not gone
through? "A Hertfordshire Incumbent" suggests
as the only reason that the step would have involved
those who took part in it in responsibility to law.
This point was raised in a protest addressed to tho
Primate. It is true that the .censure was only tech-
nically defective ; but Dr. Temple's connection with
the other contributions to "Essays and Reviews"
was only technical.

TIM PRIVATEER CUBA.

The spy Gordon, late one of the crew of the man-of-war
Cuba, has given evidence at Wilmington. He stated that
the steamer was three miles from " Noman's Land" when
the men, arms, and supplies were taken on board. He
boarded her in the steamer Petrel. After taking the men,
arms, and supplies from the Petrel, the Hornet went nearer
shore and anchored. It was about dark on Saturday night
when the unloading began. Arms, shot, and shell were
first taken on board, and then guns, after which he saw the
smoke of a steamer,supposed to be a revenue cutter, andthe
Hornet made for Fire Island. The case of the officers of the
Cuba was resumed on the 26th of October. The counsel for the
defence wanted to introduce some of the officers as wit-
nesses. Mr. Phelps, for the Government, objected, and
after some discussion the commissioner decided that they
were competent as witnesses. By order of the authorities
at Washington parties are engaged in taking the stores
from the steamer.

LONDON TO PEKIN BY RAIL.

The time when an unbroken journey can be
made from London, or at all events, from Calais
to Pekin by rail, is, the Railway News thinks, distant
only a very few years. That enterprising journal
makes light of the difficulties yet to be overcome;
but they certainly appear somewhat formidable.
The first stage of the journey—from Calais
to Constantinople, 1,700 miles—is not yet
complete; but no doubt it soon may be.
But from Constantinople to the Persian - Gulf,
through Asia Minor, not a rail has been laid.
The Turkish Government is willing to grant land;.
but it has not the money to construct, and it deli-
cately offers " special securities" for the repayment of
a loan if the British Government will be kind enough
to guarantee the sum. To which offer the British
Government is very likely to answer that the Turks
have offered " special securities" so often that they
aro now. pretty well without any security at all. If
the project of a trip to Pekin by rail depends upon
England guaranteeing the cost of a line through
Asia Minor, the Railway 21rews is further from the
realisation of the scheme than it imagines.
Without considering the distance from the Indian
frontier to Pekin, it is 4,000 miles from Calais to the
Indian frontier, and of this s-ace scarcely 1,700 miles
have been spanned by rail.

SHORT SUMMARY OF THE POSITION
OF THE

PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Ludgate Hill, London, E.C.

Branch Office-7, Kin-street, St. James's.

The Annual Premium Income of the Company, at the
close of 1668, was £220,978 Os. 10d., and the Total Amount
Assured £4.832,197.
The Business is divided under two heads:-
Ist —Tho General or Ordinary Business, being the
same as that transacted by other Companies.
2nd—The Industrial or Working Class Assurances.
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £52,432, and the sum Assured
£1,662,960. The present value of the lia-
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per
Cent. Tables, throwing off the entire load-
ing. way £139,322 15 8
The Premium Income of the Industrial
Branch was 168,546, the sum Assured
£3,169,237, and the Estimated Reserve.— 50,000 0 0

£189,322 15 8

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does rot admit of being estimated in the
on account of the very large prOPO'rtio-ritf
Policies which coast :ntly la; se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks
for short terms only; the estimated re-
serve for the liabilities of this Branch of
the business is shown by the result of 11
years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

Tho Assurance Fund on 31st Decem-
ber, 1868, was .£241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.
The average age of the Assured in the
Industrial Branch was 19 years.

COMING BATTLES.

Four of the nine seats now vacant will speedily be
filled up. On Thursday next the Speaker will issue
his warrant for new writs for the boroughs of Water-
ford, Whitby, and Hastings, and the county of Tip-
perary. The representation of Tipperary is vacant
through the death of Mr. C. Moore ; Waterford, through
the appointment of Mr. J. A. Blake as an inspector
of Irish fisheries ; Whitby, through Mr. W. H.
Gladstone's acceptance of office as a Lord of the
Treasury ; and Hastings through the death of Mr.
F. North. Besides these four there are five other
seats for which an election must be held. King's Lynn
wants a member because Lord Stanley has gone to
the House of Lords; Chester, because Earl Gros-
venor also becomes a peer ; Southwark, because Mr.
Layard is going to look after the Spaniards ; the
Tower Hamlets, because Mr. Ayrton takes the Com-
missionership of Public Works, and must seek re-
election ; and the Universities of Aberdeen and
Glasgow, through the elevation of Mr. Moncreiff.

SEILVICE ITEMS.

The command of the Eastern district is vacant by
the promotion of Colonel Farren, caused by the death
of General Coles.—Several orders of more or less im-
portance have recently been issued. With one of
them the press is indignant. Commanders-in-Chief,
captains, and commanding officers of her Majesty's ships
have been requested to prevent excessive drinking of
wines and spirits on board their vessels. "My Lords
of the Admiralty " say that they " have observed with
regret that in many cases officers have incurred wine
bills to an excessive amount."—The Duke of Can-
bridge has issued an order to the effect that soldhrs
who have been so fortunate as to save life shall be
permitted to wear the decorations they have so
acquired on the right breast. It is Ruggested that
Mr. Childers should follow the example
which the Field - Marshal Commanding -in -
Chief has set.—The much wanted medals are
at last announced. It is explained that the Abys-
sinian medal has been considerably delayed by the
death of the late Master of the Mint, and by the
necessity of having the name of each individual
officer or soldier engraved on the medal to be given to
him. Many of them have, however, now been dis-
tributed, and the remainder will soon be delivered.
The medals for the campaign in New Zealand will be
ready for distribution in a week or two.—The control
system at the War Office is still far from adoption.
The Queen refuses to sign the necessary warrant until
she has consulted the Duke of Cambridge ; and he is
away shooting.—Under a recent Admiralty circular
sailors, while their ships are in port, are
to be allowed to attend Divine service on Sundays, as
they wish. The senior officer of the port is to give
them information as to the various churches and
chapels ; and it is directed that "all possible facilities"
shall be aftbrded to the men ; leave being granted
from Saturday to Monday.

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN TUB LONDON DOM.—Edward Dorset,
aged 32 years, was charged with the unlawful possession
of two candles, a cork screw and a duster, which he had
stolen from a shop in the London Dock, where he had
been employ Ad. He was stopped by Mr. Edward Spencer,
an inspector of dock police, as he was leaving the dock
with the above-named property iu his possession, and was
sentenced to two niunthb' imprisonment and hard labour.
THE TEMP ER AND TILE TEMPTED.—AIfred archer,
aged 14 years, a warehouse boy iu the service of Messrs.
Pinchin and Johnson, wholesale oil and colourmen,
Cable-street, St. George-iu-the-East, and Thos. Hostler,
20, costormongor, were brought up on remand, and
charged with stealing two casks of treacle, the property
of the prosecutors. It appeared that the elder prisoner
had tempted the boy to rob his employers. The
proceedings wore watched by Police sergeant Dune-
away and Foster, constables of the detective force,
U division, and they were seen to remove a cask of treacle
from Pinchin and Johnson's warehouse, and they were
taken into custody while rolling it along a street. Another
cask of treacle and a cask of varnish were, missing from
the prosecutors' promises. Dunaway said to Archer,

" This systmn of robbery has b3en going on so:n 3 tirnl,
to which A: cher replied, " Yes it has, and things have been
taken away two or three times a week. Hostler, who had
tempted the boy to plunder his employers, also made some
admissions, and said nine Lad another cask of treacle front
he boy on Monday night. Dunaway said that Hostler had
been living on this system of plunder for sight months,
and was confirmed by Foster The prisoners pleaded guilty.
Mr. Paget said that he ha•l no doubt Hostler tempted the
boy Archer to rob his employers. Be sentenced Hostler to
six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and Archer,
who was the to ser offender, and had been tempted to
co:nmit crime, to three months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

TRADE UNIONISM IN EARLY DAYS.

To Sheffield, " the home of trades' unionism," com-
binations of workmen are by no means new. So early
as 1814 the manufacturers were complaining of
the tyrannical pressure of their men for , more
wages, and were combining to resist them.
In that year the poet Montgomery edited a
Sheffield newspaper. In one of his issues he pub-
lished a circular, " on behalf of the
' General Committee of the Sheffield Mercantile and
Manufacturing Union,' Peter Brownall chairman."
The circular is addressed to customers, and it sets forth
that the combinations of workmen to advance their
wages have been raising prices at an " alarming" rate.
In order to stay "this evil" steps were taken by the
masters, "of which one of the first has been a
general suspension of their purchases, and stoppage of
their manufactories." The manufacturers appeal th
their customers therefore not to press for orders.
This identification of public interests with those of
the masters was a good dodge, and it answered woll
for a time.

TILE ERIE STRIKE.

The difficulties in Jersey City have come to an end, and
the struggle has resulted in the triumph of the 'workmen.
An interview took place between the workmen's delegates
and the directors, at which it was agreed that the men
should be paid by the 15th of each month . The object of
this strike was not an advance of pay or shortening of
*ours, but that the money earned by the men should be
paid at a stipulated time, so that it could be relied upon.

springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth ;hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restere articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in' masti-
cation.

THE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. PROSECUTION.

In another column we give the result of the appli-
cation by Dr. Thom to the Court of Chancery for
money out of the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
to carry on the prosecution of the directors. Vice-
Chancellor Malins refused the request; and the
Economist, the organ of the commercial world, ap-
plauds the decision. Our contemporary thinks the
possibility of the application being granted ought to be
removed. It is clearly an abuse (it says) to throw
expenses of the kind on a bankrupt estate. "Those
who have suffered already by the crime are the last
persons who should be victimised to punish it." But
(as our contemporary adds) the whole criminal law
generally throws the duty of prosecuting on such
sufferers; the result is that crime is imperfectly
Punished.

OTHER HEDrCTIONS.

The news of other reductions is rather scanty. We
are enabled, however, to contradict a report pub-
lished by us on the faith of a service
contemporary last week. It is not true that the
Lords of the Admiralty, in their desire to effect small
economies, positively ordered a captain to join his
ship on a foreign station at his own expense. It is
true though that the soldiers at Aldershot and their
wives are to be allowed an extra blanket for the
winter without paying for it—an extraordinary
piece of munificent charity from the same board
which charges 15s. a year for the loan of 30s.
worth of bedding to married soldiers. For the
report that the estimates for fittings at the Admiralty,
Spring Gardens, have been exceeded by £4,000 we
cannot vouch ; some comment, however, is made
upon the rumour.

HA STING S.

For the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. F.
North, Mr. P. F. Robertson, merchant, is the Con-
servative candidate. This gentleman represented the
borough in the last Parliament, and also from July
1852 until April 1850, in which year he was an un-
successful candidate. Mr. Robertson voted against
the ballot in 1853. Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, the
choice of the Liberals, has opened his campaign. He
is a warm supporter of Mr. Gladstone, whom he
considers the best statesman of late years. He will
be willing to give the Ballot a trial. Mr. Kay
Shuttleworth advocates an extension of the present
system of education, but not so as to interfere with
the rights of parents. He hopes the Irish Land Bill
will provide for full compensation for improvements
—a very mild assumption indeed, for it is generally
concluded that any Land Bill whatever will do this
much. But very few people know what they want
on this difficult subjects
