.£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences

improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived front 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 reassurance, 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 tho rate of little more than 51
per cent. on the total income.

The minutes Of the various meetings of the Paris Con;
ference have been given to the world. As the final result
and many incidents which transpired during the negotia-
tions arc known, these documents can have only an
historic value ; but, nevertheless, certain items of
this meeting of diplomatists are worthy of notice:
It is remarkable, for instance, that at the third sitting,
when the Greek Government positively refused to take
part in the Conference except on the same terms as
Turkey, this announcement was made by the Russian
Ambassador. All the other plenipotentiaries had declared
themselves ready to proceed with the business, whether
Greece took part in it or not. The Russian representa-
tive said that he was prepared to do the same, but that his
attitude would be modified by the absence of M. Rangab`.
He would be obliged to undertake the defence of Greece
in many cases when he would have remained silent, had
the small State been represented —upon which the
Ambassadors hastened to agree that the absence of Greece
must be met by greater moderation on the part of all con-
cerned. The Russian Ambassador became, in fact, the
defender of Greece throughout, and in some measure
there was no mistaking the sympathy which the Austro-
Hungarian representative manifested for the cause of
Turkey. The attitude of Djemil Pasha, too, was charaCL
terised by the greatest reserve and caution. All the
Ambassadors were excessively chary of dealing with
facts, and it was agreed that the powers of the
Conference could not extend beyond the discussion
of principles. The minutes of the seventh sitting
reveal an interesting detail ; the Greek Government really
did send to its representative at Paris a despatch, con-
taining certain revelations, and attributing the blame of
certain events to the Porte, but, acting on the adviceof the
French Minister, M. Rangabe suppressed this communi-
cation. At the last sitting, M. de Lavalette said that
though he had no desire to exaggerate the effect of the
Conference, yet its good results were incontestable, for the
Powers represented had averted a war in the East. He
hoped this peaceful work would remain as a precedent
which might more and more be made use of.. To this wish
the other representatives gave their hearty adherence, and
then the Conference was at an end.
