ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 tho 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, i n; no event of in ability or unwillingness to continuo 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 Pa o 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 tho 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 Lifo 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 bo 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 years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this ehss 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 %re 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 unehallengeable on any ground 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 new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY ITARBEN, Secretary.

THE MORMONS 1N UTAH. Brigham Young has hit on a grand idea for the preservation of Mormonism in Utah and the expul sion of the Gentiles.

He issued an edict, after fulminating Sunday after Sunday against Gentile traders, forbidding .the saints to traffic with the Gentiles, and decreeing a co-operative system, which on a certain day was inaugurated in all the glory of blue and gold signs, thus : HOLINESS TO TUE LORD. (The All-Seeinr , Eye.) ZION'S ' CO-OPERNTIVE MERCANTILE INSTITUTION. Brigham gave $25,000, and every saint threw into the common stock what he could afford. No re ceipts were issued, and no return promised, the lenders being merely credited with the amount. The principal Mormon merchants transferred their goods to the institution at a heavy loss, and many Gen tile traders, succumbing to the pressure, took what was offered for theirs. Each store was devoted to a separate department, containing hardware, or gro cery, or dry goods, with branch establishments throughout the country ; still individual Mormons were permitted to trade, though warned to sell at the price of the co-operative stores, and not to withdraw custom from them. One who offered calicoes at 15 cents a yard, when the co-operative price was 18. was counselled, under penalty of expulsion, to raise his calicoes to 18 cents. This, in ruining the Gen tiles and other merchants, has created a bitter feel ing against Brigham, and a great firm, the Walker Brothers, have attempted a competition, refusing Brigham's offer to buy them out, unless he pur chased all their interest in the territory, worth about SlOO,OOO. But Brigham declined this offer, not through poverty, for he is one of the richest men in America. Though the fact of his wealth is no torious, he has the audacity thus to preach : " We Caine to this valley to establish the kingdom of God, and it is not right that some of us should grow rich by trading, while the majority of us remain poor. It is time to give to the people of God the profits upon the busi ness they create—to give to each Saint all that he con sumes at the lowest cost price." lie is said to be concentrating his wealth as fast as possible, and to grow with age more covetous and grasping. Some of the stories told of him show the greedy nature he undoubtedly possesses. Many years ago, for instance, a Mormon policeman, killed in the discharge of his duty, left a wife and family, and Brigham, who was asked to subscribe to the sup port of the family, offered to buy a home, which he did, for $5OO, retaining the title-deed. Some time after, when it had become valuable, Brigham sent to demand payment, claiming $5,000, and rigidly ad hering to this sum, Brigham's idea of charity ! still, it pays. There are only about 800 Gentiles in a city containing 20,000 people, and it is a fact that a large portion of these Gentiles are Jews, genuine chil dren of Abraham, not one of whom has ever be come a Mormon. In fact,'none more dislike than they, the religion of the " saints," styling it a vulgar, impious parody , on the old customs of their race. If Father Abraham, they say, came to the country with his four wives, he ought to be hung; and if the Jews of old wero as wicked as the Mormons th. , y regret that the Philistines did not clear them out. Touching the beauty of the Mormon women ac counts differ. Captain Townshend, for instance, says that he did not see a pretty woman in the place, and a British officer, whose unpublished diary is now before us, specially remarks, though an earnest seeker for something refreshing in the shape of beauty, that he was unable to find it in Utah. In a long and interesting paper in the Tribune, however, from which we gather most of what we write, beau tiful girls are frequently alluded to. Brigham has 18 wives living, but that number does not include those sealed to him for the next world, and out of his 49 children there is a bevy of handsome young girls, who are in demand and marrying off fast. Rela tionship is puzzling, as Brigham, when he likes a son-in-law, gives him a second daughter, as in the case of the superintendent of the Western Tele graph Office. The prophet has established this rule, that whoever marries the last daughter of one of his wives shall take the mother home also. Mor mons sometimes marry a mother and daughter; and a Dane has a mother and three daughters for his wives ! A pretty girl was pointed out whose step father was urging his suit, backed by her own mo ther. A prominent Mormon sanctioned the mar riage of his daughter as the sixth wife, at sixteen, because he wanted a relative of the suitor of the same age for his fifth wife, and he told the story of the exchange as a good joke. The correspondent tells the following anecdote " A Mormon recently camp to a prominent Gentile by night to ask :advice. Ile was a fair sample of the middle ranks of the Church. When he adopted Mormonism he had already a wife ; but since coming to Utah has taken another. The first was childless ; by the second he has several children. Ile was now disgusted with Utah, and wished to return to his native place, whore same property had been loft him. The problem was how to escape with out risk of the penitentiary. To accomplish this ho had concocted a plan, as to the feasibility of which ho wanted information. The old feurile,' as he called her, was t) get a divorce, and then he was to marry the younger ono legally. The old female' ho had promised to take with him as a sort of 'granny to the children,' to whom she was much attached. lle wanted to know whether this plan would work, and was informed that it might; but that he would run considerable risk of a coat of tar and feathers and a ride upon a rail in attempting to carry it out." The city is beautiful during Midsummer, encircled by snowy ranges, with its wide streets and flowing streams, with its blooming, well-shaded gardens ; but there is much poverty among the masses, who only extract from the land enough to eat and to wear through hard work. Though the soil is good it has to be irrigated, and everything imported is of course enormously dear. The railroad spread ►unch money about, while giving an nutlet to produce,as welt as cheapen the imports; but its effect on polygamy is likely to be decisive. The Co-operative system was introduced as a counter- irritant, but it is the influence of the press, acting on the gross ignorance through which Brigham rules, that be has to dread. The girls are becoming rebellious ; one, for instance, who had been marked for the harem of President Snow, bolted with a Union Pacific engineer, prefer ring to have her husband all to herself, and we certainly will not be surprised if many young women follow her example.-4 nglo-American 7 intes. NAVAL AND MILI7ARY INTELLIGENCI The mounted portion of D battery, C Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Capt. and Brevet-Major 11. V. Tiinbrell, marched int) head quarters, Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, yes terday, from Aldersliott, the dismounted portion of the battery having preceded them by railway. A special general order was issued yeAterday from the Horse Guards, signed by the Adjutant-General Lord nilliam Panlet, stating that henceforward the service ammunition of the army is to be removed from the pouches and placed in the regimental ex pense magazines. General officers commanding districts at home and abroad will use their discre tion should the state of the locality in which the troops under their command are serving be such as to require an exception to be made in this respect, in which case they will at once report the same to his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Command ing-in-Chief. Proper care is to be taken that the key of the magazine is at all times in possession of some responsible person in camp or barrack, with a view to the immediate issue of the ammunition if wanted on emergency. Guards and escorts, or parties detached in aid of the civil power, will in variably have the requisite quantity of ammunition served out to them before going on duty. This supply is to be collected after the duty has been performed, and returned into the magazine. Sir Trevor Wheeler, one of the few remaining Waterloo veterans, died at Limerick House, Learn ington, on Monday morning. Sir Trevor was born in 1792, and was therefore 77 years of age. Ho was educated at Rugby and the Royal Military College, Marlow, Bucks, and entered the 16th Light Dragoons in 1808. He served with his regiment during the Peninsular campaign, and was present at the battles of Fuentes d'Onore, Salamanca, Vit toria, Nivelle, and Nive. He then exchanged into the sth Dragoon Guards, and was present at the battle of 'Waterloo. lie attained the rank of Major (unattached) in 1829, and was Lieut.-Colonel of the North Devon Mounted Rifles from 1851 to 1862. Sir Trevor was twice married, and is succeeded in the baronetcy by Major-Gen. Francis Wheeler, C. 8., of the Bengal Army, who has for some time also resided at Leamington. The deceased baronet was a deputy-lieutenant and magistrate for the county of Warwick. The 7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards, under the command of Colonel Robert Clarke, were exercised yesterday in highly interesting field move ments in the Long Valley. They returned to quar ters about 11 o'clock. The half-yearly inspection of regiments, corps, and departments will commence at Aldershot Camp in the beginning of the ensuing month. The officers and non-commissioned officers of several corps aro already preparing themselves by practising the sword exercise. The Gladiator, paddlewheel steamer, Captain Bedingfeld, left Spithead yesterday morning for the Cape of Good llope. The Dee, steam store ship, left Portsmouth, with stores, yesterday morning for Woolwich. chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring LADVERTISEMENT.
