THE PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY. A magnificent treatment appears in the Com mrrrinl World of the first instant of the highly prosperous affairs of the Prudential Assurance Co., the Annnal Statement of which appears in our advertising columns this week. There is no standing still, it is pointed out, in the affairs of this perfectly organised institution. In good seasons and in bad, the company equally prospers, and its ever-active representatives annually gather in a harvest which places it further and further in advance of all other British life offices. \The management of the Prudential i goes on adding to the financial strength of the company, and thereby ensures its permanence and stability for all time. The Ordinary branch continues to exhibit extraordinary growth. In the past year, 54,558 policies were issued, assuring the sum £ 5.627.065, and producing a new annual income of £ 304,928. It will seen, therefore, that that the Prudential is increasing its Ordinary policyholders at the rate of more than l.ODO each week. The enduring character of the business may be gathered from the next item in the report which sets out that the premiums received in the Ordinary branch during the year were £ 1,854.370, being an ipcrease of £ 188,759 over the* year 1^92. No better testimony than this could be adduced as to the high quality of the business on the books. Interest and rents brought £231,713 into the account, and with £ 72,668 consideration for aunuities granted, raised the total income of the branch to £ 2,158.751. This last figure is particularly important. It means that, resarded purely as an Ordinary office, the Prudential now possesses an income almost double that of any other British life office. Claims aris- ing by the deaths of 3,397 policyholders, and 154 endowments matured, absorbed £ 478,564 the amount paid to policyholders being further inereas- el by £52,990 cash bonuses. Surrenders were granted to the amount of £53.177, and annuitants took £59,566. After providing for expenses of management and commission at the extremely moderate rate of 10 per cent., and writing £ 1,000 off the cost of buildings, the funds of the Ordinary branch were increased by £1,301,018 to £8,001,707. It may be noted here as an interesting fact that the funds of this branch have been more than doubled in five years. In 1893, the premium collections of the Induslrial branch were barely short of four millions sterling. The exact figures were £ 3.971,863, this amount showing an increase of £ 122.700 over the premiums of the preceding year. The premiums in this branch during the past year averaged more than £ 76.000 per week while on the policies actually in force at the present time, numbering 10,476.393, the premiums receivable are £ 80,094 per week. Truly may the com- panyclaim to bea^V«f ional institution. Theaverage duration of each industrial policy now in force is seven-and-a-quarter years, this most satisfactory condition of affairs showing that the undoubted advantages offered by the company are becoming increasingly appreciated by its immense con- stituency. That generous feature of the company's operations, whereby policyholders of five years' standing, who so desire, can discontinue paying their premiums, and are granted a free policy, has again been largely availed of, no less than 55,764 such policies having been granted during the year. There are now 338,272 of these policies in force. The claims of the year amounted to £ 1.662.768, by 185.103 deaths and 1.276 endowments matured. During each and every working day of the year 1893 this one company received on the average nearly 600 death-notices, and settled the claims made upon it with regard thereto. It is a great work, and one that deserves the cordial support of every thinking man in the kingdom. The exceptional rate at which this great company has added to its financial resources during the past ten years may be gathered from the fact that while at the end of 1883 the total funds, exclusive of shareholders' capital, were £ 3,626.649, at the end of 1893, the total funds, again exoluding capital, amounted to £ 17,900,540, no less than £2,125,588 having been added in the last twelve months. This is a striking example of the axiom, NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCEESS."

DINAS POWIS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. MR. D. T. ALEXANDER MAKES AN EXPLANATION. A meeting of the committee of the Dinas Powis Horticultural Society was held on Tuesday even- ing last, Mr J. Isaac, Elm Grove, in the chair, and amongst those present were the Rev Canon Edwards, Messrs D. T. Alexander, R. T. Duncan, J. B. Mockford (secre- tary), R. Harry, G. H. Taylor (Barry Dock), T. Greatrex (Courtyrala), J. Portsmouth, H. Wright, W. Pugsley, Noah Jenkins, H. A. Naldrett (Eastbrook), W. Mogg, E. Lewis, John Greatrex, J. Parry, W. Miller, J. Randall, &c. The Secretary submitted a list of special prizes he had been successful in obtaining, several being secured from the Barry district. It was also reported that; neither Lord Windsor nor Miss Rous would be able to open the show. A feeling having arisen that the Dinas Powis society had fixed the date of their show to clash with that of the Cogan show, Mr D. T. Alexander said he felt that the misrepresentations which had been made by the Cogan society with reference to Dinas Powis required to be at once refuted. In the first place, they at Cogan had endeavoured to re- present that the Dinas Powis committee had been acting directly in opposition to them, and that the Dinas Powis committee had persistently fixed the date of their show upon the same day on which Cogan intended to hold theirs, and that nothing that had been brought forward by the latter society could induce Dinas Powis to alter their arrangements. He (Mr Alexander) desired to give these statements a most emphatic contradiction. (Hear, hear.) The general meeting of the Dinas Powis Society m's held on February 7th, when a letter was read from the secretary of the Cogan society pointing out that their show would be held on the Wednesday following the Cardiff show, and asking the Dinas Powis society not to fix that day for theirs. A re- presentative from Cogan was present at that meet- ing, and with the object of avoiding anything like a collusion he was asked if he eould tell the date fixed for holding the Cardiff show, but he could not do so. It was then decided that Dinas Powis show be fixed for the 22nd of August. Mr Brown, the representative from Cogan referred to, went back to a meeting of the Cogan society, and repre- sented to the committee that there was every dis- position on the part of Dinas Powis to hold their show on the same day as the Cogan show, and that he (Mr Alexander) was the leader of the opposition." (Laughter.) This was followed by a communication to the Press to the effect that Dinas Powis was acting in the most high-handed manner, that they were doing the best they could to interfere with the Cogan show, and to prevent the show being held at all. He (Mr Alexander) said this was entirely wrong. If the Cogan people had stated the date of their show, Dinas Powis would have fixed its show a week before or after, but, in the absence of this, they had fixed their day for the 22nd of August. On the motion of Mr Alexander, seconded by Mr R. T. Duncan, the tender of the Barry Dock Neu-a for printing the schedules of prizes, See., was unanimously accepted.

A BARRY LADEN SHIP IN DANGER. Intelligence of the stranding of the Barry laden ship, Vanduara, off Breaksea Point was received at Barry Dock on Thursday last, and a later telegram intimated that towards evening-she was draggin-, her two anchors and drifting fast towards the rugged shore, where she was likely to become a wreck. The Vanduara is a fine four-masted barque, the managing owners being Messrs J. D. Clink A: Co., of Greenock, the local agents being Messrs T. G. Duncan and Co.. shipbrokers, of Barry Dock. Her tonnage is 1.916 net, and she was built in 1882, being now bound to Port Pirie, Australia, with a cargo of coals from Barry. AGAIN IN TROUBLE. The Vanduara went ashore off Barry Island, between Cold Knap and the Barry Dock entrarfce, on Monday night last. On Monday she sailed frpm the roads in tow of a. tug, but the wind wa% so strofig she had to anchor, in the xoads, land wnen again taken in tow by the tng in thejincreasell sale, and despite the efforts of the tug, she drifted ashore high and dry, sustaining severe damage and necessitating being discharged for repairs. CHARGE OF UNDERMANNING. It is alleged by the officers of the Sailors and Firemen's Union at Barry that the Vanduara was considerably undermanned, the crew being, Mr J. Harrison, the local secretary, states, seven hands less than during her last voyage, The matter is considered so serious that Mr Harrison has placed himself in communication with Mr J. H. Wilson, M.P., the president of the Seamen's Union, with a view of having the facts laid before the Board of Trade.

ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL- ■ ISM AT BARRY DOCK. We understand that the English Congregational- ists at Barry have purchased the chapel now occupied by the Welsh Independents at Barry Dock, and which has accommodation for three hundred persons. It is intended to utilise this building for English Congregational services at Barry Dock, and with this object in view a pre- liminary meeting was held on Tuesday evening last. Captain Murrell presided, and amongst those present were Messrs H. R. Paul, W. Gale, M. Sandrey, T. Higman, J. E. Rees, H. Paul (jun.), J. Miles, J. Hayes, and others. Arrangements were made for calling together all friends in the Barry Dock district who may be interested in this move- ment, and it was decided that the openings services should take place as soon as possession of the building could be obtained, when the present con- gregation will remove to the handsome stone building now being erected in Holton-road.
