The total income of the year, it will be seen, is t 514,466

Bvsi.z.6, £131,811 14s. 9d . ra s
The interest received during the year is £117,584 70.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
as,sents 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 £5 128. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 15. 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 menace
ement 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. Tho whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UY-
-1--- FORFEITABLE;, N CONDITIONAL,• and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.
The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
'opinion 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 Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground that, iu the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
cialls commend itself, being entirely free from all condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid, bearing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may bear 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 assurance.
The assured will thus 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 feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise 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 tt Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on Ibis plan will be without any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
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 positively valuable as
actual securities. •
In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five veco.. 41— bankers.
creth
tors, and others holding policies of titts as secunty,
may always know the utmost amount they may be call6d
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit. of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a cnnsoquenee of the
rolicies under these Wiles being unforfeitable and uncon-
dit'onal, they will also be unchellengeable on any kround
whatever. they
may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Pelicies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un•
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
litrairyss of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL

The assets of the association at the close of the year

The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 Fire
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 beta institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

RY EXPLOSION YEAR
TVA NSEA.

A melancholy colliery accident has just oec-arred at the
Mynydd Newydd Colliery, in the parish of Llangyfeiach.
The colliery is the property of Messrs. Vivian and Sons.
Thursday evening last being the day previous to Good Fri-
day, the colliery was comparatively deserted by its ordinary
inmates, who were bent on enjoying the holiday. Instead,
therefore, of the colliery being worked, as usual, bysome 100
to 150 men, only ten persons were employed in the place
at the time of the catastrophe. Five men and boys were
engaged at one of the headings, and five men and boys at
a second heading. A lad named Lewis, 16 years Of age
who was working in one heading, told his comrades he
was going to an old heading, in which no one was working,
fora shovel; and he took a candle with bim. One of the
colliers warned him that he must not take a candle to the
place, as it was likely that the fatal gas might have accumu-
lated there, although the rest of the colliery appeared to
have been exceedingly well ventilated. Lewis replied that
he would take care not to take the candle there. It
transpired that after this caution the ill-fated lad stuck
the candle against one of the passages some distance
from the heading ; and proceeded into it in quest of his
shovel. Shortly after he had entered a loud explosion
was heard, and the fatal gas swept towards the heading
where the men were working. Two cf the poor fellows
were killed on the spot from the effects of the after danp,
and the lad Lewis, the. cause of the unfortunate accident,
had his feet blown off, and he was so mutilated as not to
be recognisable. The five men who were engaged in an
adjoining heading were not injured by the explosion, and
they rushed to the rescue of the others.
