LAW CLASSES.

In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted
under the guidance and superintendence of the lecturers,
and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The
number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and
the instruction given will be confined to an examination
of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or
on portions of a given hook bearing on the same subject.
A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and
be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc-
tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the
lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the
memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex-
amination will test, from time to ime, the progress made
by the students.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
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 both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

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 £772,740 13s. 9d.

THOMAS ALLEN}
HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will bo seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., i 134,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d Auditors
Tho interest received during *the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
Tho 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 £sl2s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 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 X 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. Tho whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i
per cent. on the total income.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
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, in 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-
cially 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 a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this 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 I,ngest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may bo called
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 consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchalleograble on any vrouud
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
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 now
business of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Ant ual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less

than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in

According to the Italian papers, the Republican plot at
Milan was destined to break out on the morning of the,
18th. On the preceding night bombs and arms were to bey
distributed to the affiliated. Some of these were recruited
in the ranks of the 21st Regiment of the Hussars of
Piacenza. " With much sagacity," the authorities dis-
covered a large deposit of arms in the house
of a cook and lodging-house keeper. Here was
found the plan of attack and the documents.
Another centre of the plot was found in a house at Vier-
ziere. Some persons greatly compromised were arrested
there, and amongst others two men who had arrived from
the South only a few days before, and who passed
under false names. One of them had escaped
the pursuit of the judicial authorities of Naples,
to whom he had been denounced as an orga-
niser of republican rebellion. In their possession
were found large sums of money which their
apparent position did not seem to warrant; one of them
even offered £4O to each of the guards who had Lim in
custody if they would let him jump out of window and
run away. The Opinion says that twenty-four officers
and 200 other individuals were concerned in this scheme.
The general plan was to seize or poniard—it is uncertain
which—all the civil authorities and military officers.

GARIBALDI AND SF.V.N.
General Garibaldi has addressed a trenchant letter to
Setor Garrido, one of the leading Republicans of,khe
Spanish Cortes. The Italian patriot is very sev,.tre on
the policy of the majority in setting up a monarchy on
the ruins of Isabella's throne. He praises Dom Fernando,
and hopes that his refusal will be a lesson tathe leaders
of the revolution ; that Spain will speedily be delivered
from this masquerade of the frogs in the fable. To de-
mand a king just when the Spanish nation is disgusted
with sovereignty is not very creditable to a people upon
whom the enslaved races of the Continent count so much.
" Is Spain so barren of great men that you must go about,
like Diogenes with his lantern, seeking for a "man"
over all the face of the earth ? Have you not Espartero,
Orense, Castelar, and others? Name one of them dic-
tator, or king, if you are so partial to the title ; but name
him at once, and not at the end of two years.' The letter,
which is rather lengthy, contains snore to the same effect.
Altogether it is a smarter and less violent ocanposition:
than some of the General's late epistles.
THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF WORKMEN.

The wisdom of the proceedings instigated by the Inter-
national Society of Workmen is more than questionable;
but there can be no doubt as to the extent and power of
its organisation. The society brought about two strikes
in Switzerland, which held out for some time. It has suc-
ceeded in producing an alarming suspension of industry
throughout Belgium, although the workmen in this case
appear to have been almost entirely without resources. It
is believed to have something to do with a strike which
has just broken out at Nice. It has started a journal, en-
titled the People's Voice, published at Vienna, in the
society, and demanding universal suffrage, a free press, full
religious liberty, unlimited right of meeting, and the sup-
pression of permanent armies. Beyond question the
society is able to command considerable obedience to its
mandates, and it is not improbable that it may shortly
give the industrial question in Europe a very formidable
aspect.
