Extracts from the DIRECTORS' KEPORT for the year ending 31st December, 1858. The Directors have again to draw attention to a year of most remarkable progress. Accustomed as they have been for many years to report an accessi In of business larger than any other Company in Europe, they have on this occasion to state that the New Premium Income of the year 1868 amounts to the extraordinary sum of zC87,748 1613. lid per annum—the corresponding amount for 18 >7 being £ 54,819 5s. 8<L This income has been derived entirely from the resources of the Prudential, and not from any amalgamation or transfer. In addition to the foregoing, the business of a small but most respectable Company has been added, amounting to X15,878 15s. 9d. per annum. The Premium Income at the close of the year amounts to £ •220,978 Os. 10d., after making allowance for all Policies lapsed or surrendered. The claims paid during the year amount to .£67,181 10s. 5d., raising the total disbursed under this head since the establish- ment of the Company to zC480,986 18s. 3d. The Assurance Fund at the close of the year amounts to X241,501 12s. 4d., against Xlz2,959 14s. 6d. at the close of 1867, being an increase of X68,341 1 Is. 10d. It is invested as follows:- Victoria Bonds £ 5,126 5 11 Cape of Good Hope Bonds 5,190 0 0 Land Mortgage Bank of India Bonds.. 1,044 0 0 South Australian Bonds 5,32 > 0 0 Queensland Bonds 9,287 10 0 New South Wales Bonds 4,612 1C 0 Natal Bo. ds 5,095 0 0 New Zealand Bonds. 5347 100 Mauritius Bonds 4,268 15 0 Turkish Bonds. 1.986 17 6 Canada Bonds 1,182 13 8 Railway Debentures and Stock 3,047 15 8 X51,459 17 4 Freehold and Leasehold Estates, Ludgate-hill and Belle Sauvage-yard 68,600 14 4 (Of thisitem, property to tte amount ofX61,500 has been since sold to the City of London.)

The Directors draw the especial attention of their new con- nexion- to the circumstance that 16 years since they inaugurated a plan of weekly audit of accounts. This system is still carried out by them with undiminished care and attention, and by its adoption they are enabled to control the operations of the Com- pany in the most efficient manner. During the year the Directors have given additional attention tot e develo lament of the business in Scotland, and the results have been entirely satisfactory; upwards of £ 13,000 of the New Premium Income have been obtained from this quarter.

The Denbighshire county rifle corps range is to be re- moved from Coed Marchan, Ruthin, to Llangollen. It is stated in the Colliery Guardian that the rescue of the poor miners at Lock's Lane Pit, at Brierley Hill, cost the Earl of Dudley (the owner of the mine) not less than 225,000. It is said that a shipwrecked Yankee was lately rescued from one of the Marquesas Islands, whose first question on being discovered was How did the Mexican war finaly come out?" He had been a soldier who left General Scott's army before the campaign closed. TICIKNCB AND ART.-A striking instance of the immense value a small piece of ste I may acquire by the great power of skilled mnebanical labour is the balance--pring of a wa ch. From its extreme fineness and delicacy 4,000 weigh not more than one ouncH, ond exceed in v In" £ 1.000. A most interesting little wo k. describing the rise and progress of watchmaking, has been published bv J. W. Benson, 25, 011 Bond-street, and the City Steam Factory, 53 and 60, Ludgatd Hill. The book, which is profuse y illustrated, gives a fall de-cription of the various kinds of watches auol clocks, with their prices.

These pamphjets are se-it post free for two s amps e-ich, and they can- not be too strongly recnmmendel to those contemplating a pur- chlse. especially to residents in the country or abroa l, who are thus enabled to select any article they may require, and have it forwarded with perfect safety. A dreadful murder was committed at Derby at an early hour on Monday morning, by the wife of George Wiggin Ingham, a porter at the Midland Railway Station. The father went to work as usual on Monday morning, leaving his wife and youngest child, nine months old, in bed. Between seven and eight in the morning the wife got up, secured her husband's razor, went back to the bed, and deliberately cut the throat of the child, death being instantaneous. She then went down stairs, her hands being covered with blood, and told a neighbour what she bad done. THUNDER STOKM.—In referring to the recent storms, one of the papers says :—On Wednesday afternoon the storm, which appears to have been very general in this and the adjoining counties, raged with great violence in Congleton. At Dane Bank they appear to have had a merciful escape the thunderbolt struck a large sycamore tree, barked it, and it flew off from the base in the form of a large ball of fire into the yard, when it burst with a tremendous crash, casting up a cloud of smoke and tilling the atmosphere with a sulphureous smell. 1

Country Flour 20,172 sacks, foreign 5,359 sacks 2,215 barrels.

ABERYSTWYTH, MONDAY, April 25th.-Tliere was an un- usually large attendance at to-day's market on account of its being the day of showing entire horsas, a custom which of late years has gradually fallen away.

Mutton a dull sale, and higher in price. Pork was dis- posed of at (id to 7d. Veal high in price. NORWICH, SATURDAY.—The weather during the last three or four days has been favourable to the progress of vegetation, and prospects of keep have improved in consequence. The show of cattle on offer to-day was pretty good, and there was rather more animation in the trade. Fat beasts, 9s. to 9-J. 6d. per 141b. The show of sheep was pretty good, the best descriptions commanded a slight Advance, but inferior lots remained on h ind, and upon the whole a clearance w is far from being effected.

METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 12,632 head. There was a fair supply of foreign stock. Beasts were dull, but for sheep there was a good inquiry, at full prices. From our own grazing districts the receipts of Beasts were on a moderate scale. Some good serviceable animals were included in the supply; but really choice stock was scarce. The trade for all breeds was less active; nevertheless, the quotations were unaltered. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s. 6d. to 5s. 6d. per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, about 650 various breeds; from Scotland, 65 Scots and crosses: and from Ireland, 45 head. Fair average supplies of English Sheep were on sale. The demand was steady, and late quotations were well maintained. The best Downs and half-breds in the wool sold at 6s. 4d. to 6s. 6d. out of the wool 5s. 6d. to 5s. 8d. per 81b. Lambs were in fair supply and moderate request, at from 6s. to 7s. 8d. per 81b. Calves were purchased to a moderate extent, at previous quotations. Prime small Pigs met a steady sale; but large hogs were neglected. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The stock on offer consisted of 1,713 beasts and 6,891 sheep. There was a smaller number of both cattle and sheep than last week. Beasts about 20s. per head ad- vance and sheep about 4s. A good demand, and nearly all sold up. Stock healthy. Prices: Best beasts, 8Jd. to 9d.; second best, 6Jd. to 7 £ 1.; inferior, 5|d. to 6 £ d.; sheep, 8d. to lOd. per lb; lambs, 25s. to 35s. each. METROPOLITAN, THURSDAY.—We had still a short supply of English beasts. Trade was by no means brisk, yet prices could not be quoted lower. The number of sheep and lambs was larger than on Thursday last. Sheep were readily disposed of at fully Monday's rates, but lambs were lower, and several lots of middling quality remained unsold. Calves were more plentiful, and prices were lower. Our foreign supply consisted of 480 beasts, 1,793 sheep, 274 calves, and 14 pigs. Quotations per stone of 81b:—Beef, 8s. 4d. to 5s. 8d.; mutton, 4s. 8d. to 6s. Od.; veal, 3-i. 8d. to 5s. 8d.; pork, 3s. 8d. to 5s. 6d.; lamb, 63. 4d. to 7s. 41.

IMISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.-The arrivals last week trom Ireland were 18 firkins Butter and 8,183 bales Bacon, and f ) foreign ports 83,603 PRsks, £ c., Butter, and 1,208 bales Bacon. Irish Butter scarcely inquireu "?n.T,iet: a few new fourth Corks sold at 85s. landed. Foreign met a good sale for the finest qualities; best Dutch advanced 2s.-say from 108s. to 110s. The Bacon market early in the week was very quiet; but towards the close there wa" more business transacted at 77s. on board f)r best Waterford-the shippers now require an advance of Is. LONDON HOP, MONDAY.—Our market continues without material alteration, home-growth moving off slowly at recent quotations, except where sales are forced. European samples are hardly in such good request. New Americans of fine grades stilt meet with fair inquiry at late figures. Advices from the continent report the Belgian and Bavarian marke's as very quiet, but prices are well maintained for best sorts. New York advices to the 10th instant report market as firm, owing to the large stock held being mostly in speculators' hands.

Bayers confine their attention nearly exclusively to fine and choice qualities, for which, owing to scarcity, there still exists a fa r demand." LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—Very little English Cloverseed is now offering, and little wanted, the season being so far advanced. White Clover-eed was unchanged in price. Trefoils were offered on low terms to hold over. New white Essex Mutardseed re- mains very high, being scarce. Canaryseed was fully as dear, with a steady demand. Tares sold slowly on nearly former terms. Maize a superabundant supply, with a moderate demand, at fully Is. per qr. reduction in price for all sorts. LONDON WOOL, MONDAy.-The new clip of English wool is now coming forward more freely, but it still threatens to be somewhat ,horter than the average of seasons. The trade is quiet for all descriptions, at about previous quotations. CURRENT PBICES OF ENGLISH WOOL. s. d. to S. d.

Purchases, unusually sma'1, are made to supply im- mediate requirements, and are confined to choice lustre and demi-lustre wools, the prices of which are still very flruily main- tained. There is little or no demand for middle and inferior sorts, which have a drooping tendency. The worsted yarn trade, though there is a better feeling, shows no real improvement. There has been rather more inquiry in some quarters, but the prices offered are so low that there is no encouragement to the spinner to do business. The German manufacturers find but a very scanty demand for their productions in America, and this circumstance accounts in some measure for the absence of a demand for worsted yarns for the German market. But other I causes operate adversely; worsted yarns produced in Germany and France come in competition rather keenly with yarns spun in this di-trict. and tend to reduce production. Foreign buyers show no disposition to oper ,te unless they find an advantage in doing so, and spinners, who are f:ir from b>jing well employed, are not disinclined to make a slight concession to secure a cus- tomer. The home demand is quiet. The fine wea'her has caused some degree of activity in the piece tride. The home merchants have done more business in light fabrics. Export merchants have also bought to some slight extent in fincy glods for both Germany and France: but the trade in both plain and fancy goods, in anticipation of autumn, is much below the ave- rage. Goods are generally bought in small parcels from stock. There is not sufficient confidence at present to induce me chants to speculnte to any great extent. The American tra-le con inucs dull. A few small orders have been placed in camlets for China and the east. Prices are weak. THE IRON TRADE. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—There has been a little more spirit in the iron trade of this district this week; a few orde s hsive come in on account of the export trade, and the n lture of the inquiries made on the part of the houses who have distri- buted these leads to the inference that others will be delivered shortly. Home consumers a'so continue to buy sp tringly. This is satisfactory so far Ps th-it it shows the languor in t' is depart- ment of trade is not likely to increase fit r>r»se*if: in lep 1, at some of the works they have a somewhat better supply of orders generally. To-day, there was a very large attendance at the Exchange; but as usual there, not much business was reported.
FESTIVITIES IN HONOUR OF THE…
FESTIVITIES IN HONOUR OF THE MARRIAGE OF MR PRICE OF RHIWLAS. Last week we gave a report of the rejoicings at Bala. REJOICINGS AT PENTREFELIN. There were festivities in connection with Mr Price's marriage at the village of Pentrefelin, near Tremadoc, under the direction of a local committee, of which Mr R. Roberts, Brongadair, was chairman. Most of the houses in the neighbourhood were decked out for the occasion, and in several places there were floral arches to be seen. An arch at the gateway leading to Garregyfelen had a very handsome appearanee, evincing much taste on the part of Mr Llewelyn and the members of his family. It had a motto in front wishing Prosperity to the House of Rhiwlas." Over the roadway near the Cross Keys Inn was thrown a large arch, adorned with festoons composed of evergreens, flowers, and streamers, and bearing this in- scription, Success to Richard J. Ll. Price and his Consort." By the house formerly known as the Goat Inn there was another elegant arch, set off with ingenious, ornamental devices and richly-coloured bannerets. At Brongadair there were two fine arches, the principal one having a central design in which the Rhiwlas family crest, properly coloured, was introduced. Flags and banners abounded in all directions. In the afternoon about 260 persons, comprising children, wives of cottagers, and all the elderly dames of the district, were regaled with tea, and bread and butter, within a tent erected in a croft close by the Cross Keys; and the follow- ing ladies gave their assistance at the tables: Miss Llewelyn, Mrs W. Jones, Penmorfa, Miss Roberts, Pantlon, Miss Thomas, Tvcochion, and Mrs Jones, Cross Keys. Mr. D. Evans and Mr John Owen also rendered valuable aid. A dinner afterwards took place in the tent; Mr Ignatius Williams, Hendregadredd, occupying the chair, and Mr Roberts, Brongadair, doing duty as vice-chairman. The catering was very creditable to the host and hostess. Grace was said by the Rev. W. Williams. The loyal toasts, proposed from the chair were duly honoured, and the chairman then gave "The Clergy and Ministers of all Denominations,which was followed by "The Army, Navy, Militia, and Volunteers," coupled with the names of Captain G. H. Owen and Mr D. Evans (Tremadoc), who severally responded. Calling upon the company to fill their glasses, the chairman said he was now going to propose the toast of the evening, The health of Mr and Mrs Price of Rhiwlas." (Loud cheers.) It was not always fair, perhaps, to judge of a man by his family; still, there was something in blood, and he was glad to know that the present representative of the house of Rhiwlas was follow- ing in the footsteps of his respected father, who was a very good old gentleman, and that he was also securing the good will of all his friends and neighbours, by his kindness and gentlemanly conduct. (Applause.) Mr Price was certain to become a popular man, and would no doubt prove a great blessing. As to the bride, on one of the mottoes she was called Mr Price's consort, a term usually applied only to royalty, but in this instance it could not be said to be inappropriate or misplaced. Mrs Price was beau- tiful, kind, attractive, and good, and therefore she was essentially royal. (Much cheerinsr.) Some englynion, by Alltud Eifion" and Bardd Treflys," followed the toast, which was enthusiastically drunk; and Mr Massev Jones then gave "The Tenantry of the Rhiwlas Estate," coupled with the names of the vice-chairman, Mr Llewelyn, Mr R. Williams, and Mr Owen Jones. Mr G. H. Owen provoked much mirth by proposing the "Old Bachelors present," a toast with which the names of Mr Massey Jones, Mr John Evans, and "Bardd Treflys" were associated. The healths of the chairman, vice-chairman, and a number of personal toasts were then drunk; and be- fore the company broke up The Press" and The Host and Hostess" were proposed. At night there was a general illumination throughout the village, and a grand display of fireworks. THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY AT MIDDLETON. The marriage ceremony took place at the parish church of Middleton, Lancashire, and the officiating clergyman was was the Rev. G. Heron, M. A., rector of Carrington, Cheshire, who is related to the Hopwood family. The bride, Miss Evelyn Hopwood, is the youngest daughter of Edward John Gregge Hopwood, Esq., of Hopwood Hall, which has been the seat of the family for centuries. She is described as being remarkably pretty and graceful, and possessed of a kind and winning disposition. Her age is nineteen. A large number of persons congregated to wit- ness the setting out of the bridal party, and at the church there were many more people in waiting. The edifice is undergoing renovation, and only a privileged few were ad- mitted to the interior. The first carriage was occupied by Mr Price, who was accompanied by Mr G. W. Barrett as best man; and in the last carriage rode the bride and Mrs Hopwood. Amongst the occupants of the other car- riages, of which there were four or five (besides cabs for the domestics), were Mrs Price, Mr E. J. G. Hopwood, Mr E. Hopwood, Miss Hopwood, Archdeacon and Mrs Ffoulkes, Mr Smith Barry, Mr and Mrs T. Parker, Mr and Mrs Tatton, Mr and Mrs Pender, Miss Stewart Mackenzie, &c. The bride was led to the altar by her father. She was attired in a white satin dress, trimmed with Brussels lace, with a veil of the same kind of lace, bound at the head with a wreath of orange blossoms. She also wore a necklace of large diamonds, with pendant, and a tiara of diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom, in addition to a ruby and pearl bracelet presented by Mr and Mrs Pender. In her hand she carried a magnificent bouquet. The bridesmaids, Miss Hopwood and Miss Stewart Mackenzie, were dressed in white silk petticoats, with upper skirts of Brussels lace, and had wreaths of roses. They, too, bore very choice bouquets. On the fthe ui trie oerenionj i --j »«»urned to the halL where a recherche break- fast was served^ at which Mr R. T, Parker proposed the health of the bride_ and bridegroom, which was drunk with the utmost cordiality. Later in the day Mr and Mrs health of the bride and bridegroom, which was drunk with the utmost cordiality. Later in the day Mr and Mrs Price proceeded in a carriage to Manchester, and thence by train to London, en route for Paris, where they pur- posed spending the honeymoon. At intervals merry peals were rung upon the church bells, and the wedding festivities were kept up at the hall with great spirit until late in the evening. The presents to the bride were very numerous and costly, the chef d'oeuvres bein the diamond necklace and tiara of diamonds presented by the bride- groom, which are said to have cost £ 3,000. The presents included a pearl hoop ring, the gift of Mrs Price; garnet ring, by Miss Price; gold locket, by Sir Watkin and Lady Wynn; gold and amalabrite writing set, by Archdeacon and Mrs Ffoulkes; and silver salad fork and spoon, by t h servants at Rhiwlas.
