financial position of the Company:—
The CAPITAL available for the purpose of meeting any
unusual calamity happening to the assured is TWO
MILLIONS STERLING. The amount actually paid up is
£288,495. This, with the accumulated funds in hand,

For the satisfaction of the public the whole of the se-
curities belonging to the Company are annually submitted
to the careful scrutiny of two independent auditors, and
the following is as tx'ract from their report to the last
annual inceting:
" The whole of your hocks have been audited ; every
document, every account, every voucher, your bank-book,
and every security - all ha (o been most carefully kept,
and there is not one doubtful security in the whole."
A detailed List of the Investments of the Company, as
already published, may be obtained on application.
An independent valuation of the Life Liabilities, as at

TILE POIVDEIL EXPLOSION AT BEDFONT.

The inquest on the three men killed by the gun-
powder explosion at Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's
work has had the usual result. Nobody knew how
the fire originated ; the provisions seem to have been
all legal and proper ; the three men killed are said to
know more about the matter than anybody else. The
jury therefore return the verdict that death was
accidental.

SHORT SUMMARY OP THE POSITION
OF TILE

pRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY,
62, Lu.lgate Hill, London, E.C.

Brlnch Office 1.7, King-street, St.. James's.

The Annual' Premium Income of the company, at the
closo of 1?Ol5, was 0220,978 Os. 101, and the Total Amount
Assured C 1.832,197.
The Pet,iness is divided under two 11,arle:—
Ist —The General or Or !Mary Business, twine; the
same as that transacied by other Compa-iies.
2nd —The Tinlustripl or Work-m; Class Assurances.
The Premium Income of the General
Business was £32,432, and he sum A ssnred
.£1.162,90. The present. value of the lia
bility of this Branch by the Carlisle 3 per

llranrh was 16,:p40, the sum Assured
£3,1G9,237, and the Estim•tted Reserve 50,000 0 0

.£lB 322 15 8
The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does cot admit of being estimated in the
same way as that. of the General Branch,
on account of the very larg proportion of
Policies which coast ntly lei 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.

ber. 1868, was ..C211,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of
the Industrial Policies was considerably
under three years.

EMIGRATION.

An influential conference has just been held in
London, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, for
the purpose of assisting the emigration of the poor
from those parts of the metropolis where distress has
long prevailed. Three societies at present exist for
this purpose—the National Emigration AM Society,
the British and Colonial Society, and the Workmen's
Emigration Society—and as their objects are almost
precisely similar, it is thought well to amalgamate
them and form one good working organisation. For
this purpose the conference was called. It decided
with very little dispute in favour of amalgamation,
and efforts are at once to be made to bring about a
nnion. It is thus likely that a scheme of emigration
will now be carried on in a systematic manner.

LAW-COURT APPLAUSE.

One of the morals of the Overend, Gurney, and
Co. case is that some effective measures must be
taken with the demonstration nuisance. At an early
stage of the proceedings what is now becoming
the customary round of applause was accorded to ono
of the counsel. The Lord Chief Justice threatened to
slear the court. But the audience,. as usual,
took no heed of the warning. The judge him-.
sell received a little encouragement, and when the
verdict was announced a tremendous demonstration
if delight ensued. The reporter informs us
that the " Lord Chief Justice then, in a voice
which did not betray in its tones any very serious
displeasure, said : Really this is very wrong.
I ought to commit some of you." If his
:ordship's voice did not display any very
serious displeasure in its tones, it is to be hoped
that the displeasure was felt all the same. If
applause in court is wrong—about which there can
be little doubt—it ought to be prohibited under any
circumstances. If it be allowed to go on it will soon
lead to its natural end. The various parties will
provide their supporters, just as actors at certain
theatres secure a due supply of " encouragement "
through the aid of sympathising friends.

CRICKET.

The averages of the great batsmen in first-class
matches for the year 1569 have been published. Only
such contests as county matches, North v. South, the
University fights, those of the M.C.C., &c., are taken
into account. - Mr. W. G. Grace is, as was generally
foreseen, at the top of the tree ; his aggregate •if
1,320 runs, scored in 23 completed innings, and
yielding an average of 57 per innings, is almost
unprecedented in cricket annals. In six in-
nings, Mr. Grace totalled no less than 805
runs, viz., 117 T. Oxford University, 188 (not out) v.
Surrey, 122 v. North. of England, 121 T. Notts, 180
v: Players of the South, and 127 v. Kent. Amon_;st
the professionals, Jupp, with 1,209 runs in thirty-
seven innings, ibr an average of 35, has the largest
aggregate and ono of the best averages ; and Daft,
who has played ten innings for an average
worthily sustains his great name. Poole-, (Amyl-
wood, nignall, Lockwood, Rowbotham, and Wild ('.so
occupy prominent positions. Of the amateurs,
next to Mr. Grace come Messrs. L D. Walker, Lub-
bock, Cooper, Hornby, Yardley, and Pauncefote.

TENANT RIGHT IN ENGLAND.

"An English Landlord," apropos to Lord Lifford's
letter about Irish tenant right, says the idea of an
occupier selling his "goodwill " or interest in a farm
or other property—even though that interest may
terminate at a week's notice—is not at all uncommon
in England. Nor do tenants fail to carry the
doctrine into practice whenever they have a
chance of success. " A shoemaker in ray
village, who had for many years occu-
pied one of my cottages as a weekly tenant,
broke down in business, and came to a standstill.
Seeing no prospect of improvement for him at home,
I persuaded him to emigrate to Canada with his wife
and family, and, with the kind assistance of my
neighbours, provided him with ample means for that
purpos3. On the very eve of his departure he
had the coolness to propose that I should allow him
to introduce another shoemaker into the cottage
which he was about to vacate, on the ground that
the person in question had offered him £2O for tho
Privilege." "An English Landlord" declined. lie
did not desire the establishment of tenant-right on
• and so far as a shoemaker's cottage is con-
-1113 Mato he does not explain how
cerned ho was-right. tenure in
such a case bears upon the question

TIIE SINKING FUND.

The Act of Feb. 25, 1862, provided that the coin received
for duties upon imported goods should be annually set
apart as a sinking fund to the extent of one per ceutum of
the entire debt of the United States. In conformity with
this requirement, I have purchased bonds to the amount
of $20,044,800, and designated them as belonging to the
Sinking Fund. These purchases are a substantial com-
pliance with the entitle.
From the 4th of March last, I have not felt myself
authorized or rt quired to make :ley provision for the time
that elapsed after the passage of the act, and previous to
the cotuit.encement of the Administration, with the excess
ti means at my command. 1 have purchased bonds, in
addition to those purchased fur the Sinking Fund, to the
amount of $;,5,432,000. These aro held as a Special Fund,
subject to the action of Congress, and 1 respectfully
recommend that they be added to the Sinking Fund,
and that any further purchases that may be made be so
added, until the gross amount shall constitute a fund equal
to that which would have been created if there had been
no delay in the execution of the law.
THE DEPRECIATION OF TILE CURRENCY.

The depreciation of currency is duo to two causes:—
First, an excessive issue ; and, secondly, to the want of
faith in the Government; and the extent of the influence
of the first named cause cannot be ascertained until the
second is removed substantially. Whenever our credit
shall be so much improved at home and abroad, that
holders of our bonds are disposed to retain them even
when the public mind is excited upon financial subjects,
we shall be able to judge more accurately the extent of
the over issue of paper money. It is also true that the
quantity of currency necessary for the transaction of the
business of the country cannot now be fixed accurately.
Since the el so of the war the wants of the States of the
South have increased, and consequently a large amount
of currency. has bees withdrawn trom other sections to
supply the tleniand there created. The amount necessary
for the putt oses of the South will steadily increase for the
next two y( ars.
The c( nstruction of the Pacific Railroad is likely to
result in be substitution of paper for coin by the people
t.f the Pak ific Coast. It is probable that the demand for
paper for that purpose will not be less than $30,000,000.
As a con. equence a very large quantity of coin will be
withdrawn from circulation, and thus, practically, the coin
will be it. creased upon the Atlantic Coast., and the pap..r
in circulation in the States east of the Rocky Mountains
will be materially reduced. These changes will tend to
diminish the ditle,ence between paper and coin.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Dec. 23.—We have had a very
quiet market this week in cotton yarns and cloth,
and rather an easier feeling as to prices prevails.
Spinners and manufacturers who are well supplied
with orders continue to demand the full prices of
last week, but buyers are able to place orders for
which deliveries are not very pressing ou lather
easier terms than on Tut slay. There is not much
business doing, however, and the disposition among
the generality of per:ons holding orders is to wait
for a more favourable opportunity of placing them.
BRADFORD, 23d.—A more cheerful tone pervades
the wool market to-day. There is rather more dis-
position to do business, and some transactions in
most classes of wool have occurred. Under the
better.influeuce some staplers have been enabled to
realise rather better rates, though they are only re-
luctantly yielded by spinners. Anticipations 4.f a
revival of business iu the New Year are generally
entertained. The same improved tone is apparent in
both worsted yarns and pieces, though the actual busi-
ness done is not appreciably increased. In the
former branch, especially iu the export depart-
ment, there is certainly more inquiry and more dis-
position to operate in some classes of yarns, notably
in two-fold yarns, particularly in 40's, and a
gradual approximation to the rates of spinners,
notwithstanding they are obliged to harden their
quotations as wool becomes stiffer. In the latter
branch there has also becu a fair inquiry, particu-
larly on home account, and prices are very firm.
orriNGualt, 22d.—The lace trade has been very
quiet durieg the past few days. In silk goods there
is very little doing, laces and most other fabrics
being a slow sale. The market for the taw ma-
terial is dull at late rates. In the cotton branch
there is about an average amount of business
doing in fancy goods. The plaiu net trade is as
a whole quiet, a rather better feeling, however,
pervading brown goods. Lace yarns are firm, and
tate prices are maintained. There is no improve-
ment in the hosiery trade. Tee demand for the
home market is below the average, and the shipping
business is quiet. Hosiery yarns maintain their
value, with a rather better inquiry.

COMPULSORY CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
The churchwardens of Colwick, near Nottingham,
who were ordered by their vicar to compel the people
to come to church, seem to have been puzzled. They
had not thought, when they took the office upon
themselves, to have to go around the par' 'II giving
notice to the people that they must eitaer go to
church or prison. They did not like the task of threaten-
ing their "Dissenting brethren" with a visit from the
policeman, and the 3 have tried to shirk it. One of them
has written to the bishop of the diocese (Dr. Words-
worth) asking /in; opinion on the matter. The Bishop
of Lincoln replies that he thinks churchwardens
ought to go to church, and take as many as they can
with them. But the canon to which the Rev. Dr.
Bedford has called the attention of his parishioners
was framed more than 250 years ago, and it
cannot be legally enforced under penalty for its
infraction. He therefore prefers to leave the matter
to the conscience and goodwill of the churchwardens
rather than attempt to impose it on them by
gent and vigorous measures which would probably bo
found to be abortive.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

There are few persons who will not be glad to
learn that the Crystal Palace is this year returning a
little dividend to that unfortunate individual—the
original shareholder. The result of the •ear's work-
ing shews an available profit of £47,356 6s. 6d. ; and,
after providing for interest on Preference and Deben-
ture Stocks, a sum remains sufficient to pay a divi-
dend of 1 per cent. on the Ordinary Stock. This
result has been attained, the directors say, by liberal
outlay for special attractions. It is to bo hoped that
a similarly wise policy will be continued, for few
undertakings have deserved so well of the public, and
at the same time proved so unfortunate.

THE GOLD SALES,

With the exception of the Kilo of moderate amounts of
coin in Chicago, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Baltimore,
for the payment of duties, the Salo of gold and the
purchases of bonds have been made uniformly through
the agency of the United States Treasurer in New York,
and without any expense to the Government, except the
comparatively small amount paid ;for advertising the
proposals. The average p!eutiurn on gold sold since
March 1 has been 32 3-10 per tent., and the average pre-
mium paid for bonds ha 3 been 16 98-100 per cent. Upon
this basis of the sales of gold and the purchase of bonds,
the average price paid for bonds in coin has been 88 55-100

KERRY.

A vacancy in the representation of Kerry is talked
of. The Earl of Kenmare is very ill, and, as his
eldest son, Lord Castlerosse, is M.P. for the county,
the local politicians, with not very seemly haste,.are
speculating upon a successor. Lord Castlerosse is a
Liberal, and for twenty-seven years the party have
held undisputed command of the seat. But the
Conservatives are determined to shew fight
on the next opportunity. The Hon. Captain de
Moleyns, brother of Lord Ventry, and Mr. Charles
Staughton, of Listowel, are spoken of as probable
candidates. The Liberals may be represented by
Sir Rowland Blennerhasset, M.P. for Galway, or by

FATHER HYACINTHE.

In a lecture on •` Charity" at New York a few days ago,
Father Hyacinthe declared that the American race was
destined to be the foremost nation of the globe, for there
was no distinction of nationality, religion, or colour under
the Constitution. In the principle of self-government and
freedom of speech and thought lay the root of all the
prosperity of the American people. He wished it was like
that in Europe. On his return he would speak to the
people there and tell them that to be free they must
follow the example of America. The Father's lecture was
in French, so that the audience• were not much the better
for it ; but it is said that they wore m greatly imnressed by
his voice and gesture."

THE SCENE AT THE CLOSE OF THE
OVEREND, G URNEY, AND CO CASE.

The scene at the close of the Overend, Gurney, and Co.
ease, when the verdict had been given, was most exciting.
The moment the verdict was announced the most enthu-
siastic cheers burst from the crowded audience. In vain
the Lord Chief Justice hold up his hand, and the
officers of the court shouted for silence. Peal
after peal of cheers succeeded, and the whole
scene was one of the wildest excitement. The cheers
were caught up by the vast crowd without, waiting
for the verdict, and the echoes of the cheers seemed to
arouse fresh enthusiasm in the audience, and they broke
out into cheers louder than before. Meanwhile the scene
in court was most impressive. The effect of the verdict
upon tho defendants and their friends was almost electrical.
Some started to their feet and shook each other's hands
warmly, and uttered exclamations of joy and delight,
which, however, were inaudible amid the thunder of those
frantic cheers which drowned all other sounds. Some
,:Atne4 overwhelmed with emotion, and more than one
• --st into tear". The leading counsel present; the Solici-
tor-Generat .."4 Sir J. Kerslake, had their hands seized
and warmly pressed by -CLIS_Ir grateful clients, and all this
all upstanding and
being observed by the vast-crowt.—
cheering—only added to the excitement, arn: :efted ill
s.t.
-
louder bursts of cheering. At last the violent exca.:
ment so far calmed down that the cheers ceased, only to be
renewed outside, however, when the defendants appeared;
and they then received an ovation strangely contrasting
with the howls of execration which were heard at the Man-
sion House when, amid much popular excitement, they were
committed. The verdict was received in the City with
intense satisfaction, not only as a termination of a proceed-
ing which has been the most prominent among the
baneful influences that have weighed during the past
year or two upon English credit and enterprise, but as
entirely confirming the view of the case taken by the large
majority of the leading merchants and Ipli4eys. of London
