The intelligence from New Zealand is in all respects
satisfactory, if not quite conclusive. The rebels who have
been defeated with such heavy loss, including their leader,
are those who perpetrated the Poverty Bay massacre.
Speedy retribution has thus overtaken the authors of that
detestable deed. Colonel Whitmore, who for three
months suffered an uninterrupted series of defeats, is the
leader of the colonial troops who have gained the victory.
The advantage, which will go far to retrieve his reputa-
tion, is complete, for though the Maories lost 130
killed, the colonists had only 22 killed and wounded.
It must not, however, be forgotten that this triumph
has been achieved on the East coast, whereas the
revolt is moat formidable on the opposite side of the island.
But it is difficult to imagine that a partial insurrection
can last much longer.

Ptoprietors, August 14, 1868---Colonel CHARLES
WET FIER-ALL, 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 £772,7-10 13s. Dd.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £109,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.--raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
Tho interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.

TBhgeetw"hfolxe2;sBfts,
,157productivementioned
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 £sl2s. 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 menagement 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 a
per cent. on the total income.
