The interest received during the year is £117,584

7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of t
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 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.

A I3SOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENGEABLIL issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to en oh-
jectiou not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opin7on 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 Unforfeitablo, Unconditional,
and Unchalengeable. .

For the reason referred to, many persons Irsita4e or
decline to assure cm the ground that, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will beemu,) forfeited. To this
c7ass of the public the system now introduced will espe-
cialls commend itself, being entirely frea from ll condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the Fame
time it absolutely guarantees at d 3 tea.P, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the p.-aminrn. a fixefi sum in
respect of every pi emium paid, baring the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr'-
minms actually paid may hear 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 assurapce.

The assured will thlIA 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 fentnre as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it. wig likew'se 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 witho4 any
conditions as to voyaging,. foreign residence, or other csual
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 posit:yoly valuable as
actual securities. •

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1-umest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, ns shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this cllss as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may he called
upon to .advance so as to maint-tin the full benefit of the
Assuran3es—a matter of great importance where policies
are hell as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these table s helng unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallongeable on any around
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies. .

sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un•
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
bucineess of any office in tho Kingdom. SPECIAL
