The sum of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed, at Premiums producing 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 £219,709, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abate ments of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sam pad as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus Income was very considerable. It amounted to 93,152, a sum exceeding by more than 6mm any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society :CREDIT SYSTEM.-On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the first five years may remain on credit. ment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shal first happen.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an objection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to assure, 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 inability or unwillingness to continue payment of their premiums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will especially commend itself, being entirely free from all conditions 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, even when a default is made in payinent of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same proportion to the total amount assured as the number of premiums actually paid may bear to the whole number originally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will expressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the Assurance, The Assured will thus always have the option of retaining either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, according to 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 reversionary, 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.

This Company is prepared to make immediate ADVANCES on Mortgage of Life Interests, Reversions, Freeholds, and long Leaseholds, and to purchase Reversions, whether absolute or contingent. The Directors invite the attention of Solicitors and others to their new form of Whole World and Unconditional Life Policy, which affords peculiar and very great advantages to Mortgagees and others. Every description of Fire and Life Insurance business transacted. Annuities granted on favourable terms. Prospectuses, copies of the Directors' Report, and every information sent on application to FRANK M'GEDY, Actuary and Secretary. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term bankers, creditors, and others holding Policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be 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 unconditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The Prudential Assurance Company possesses an income of 215,0007, a-year; its position is unquestionable: and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the kingdom.

The outstanding sums assured by this Company, with the Bonuses accrued thereon, amounting to about 2,500,000, and the Assets, consisting entirely of Investments in first-class securities, amount to upwards of 950,0007. The Assurance Reserve Fund alone is equal to more than nine times the premium income. It will hence be seen that ample Security is guaranteed the policy holders. Attention is invited to the prospects of the company, from which it will appear that all kinds of a surances may be effected on the most moderate terms anİ the most liberal conditions. The company also grants annuities and endowments. Prospectuses may be obtained at the offices as above, and of he agents throughout the kingdom.

The expenses of management, notwithstanding their natural increase, bear smaller proportion to the income than they did in 1864, being now almost exactly 3 per cent. on the income. THE question of imprisonment for debt being now under discussion, it may be useful if we give prominence to some revelations from Lancaster Castle made at the last Lancaster Quarter Sessions. It was stated that on an average there were regularly confined upwards of 100 County Court debtors; that their cost of maintenance to the county was 7s. 6d. per head weekly, and that a large number of them were in such a filthy and ragged condition upon admission that they had to be furnished with good clothing. In one case a man had been committed for thirty days, whose original debt was 12. 11s., of which he had left 11s. 9d. unpaid. THE ATTORNEYS' TAX.
