ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLII, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. 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 a bsolutely 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 pi emium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 aegurteg 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 a l limitations. t a a la t d i odni addition 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 securities.on Bt o ythis freedom from restrictions of all kinds the number of premiums the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as t er m foregoing m s iss tstrictly defined.statement o f Theori vn tag e s longest, a 1 provided others forh holding twenty-fiveng policies of t years, his andcs theclass as security, shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors,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 uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo 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 HARDEN, Secretary. EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON.

English Churchmen will be inclined to paraphrase a well-known exclamation by saying, "Thank God, there is s, House of Bishops." The Convocation of the Province of Canterbury consists of two Houses, whereas that of York consists of only one. The Lower House of the first Convocation, on discussing the addres3 to the Queen, which is usually presented by both Houses jointly at the beginning of a session, decided by a majority,on the motion of Canon Selwyn, to add a " rider," praying the Queen to withhold her assent from any measure affecting the status of the Irish Church. A more monstrously uncon stitutional act was never performed by a reprse,ntative assembly since the days of the Stuarts. It was in vain that this was pointed out, in vain that it was urged by men like Deans Goodwin and Stanley that the Queen could not promise to withhold her consent from measures which were not before her. Hot headed men like .Archdeacon Denison carried the day, and the rider was appended. The bishops who, thanks to their Parliamentary training, better understand the Con stitution, refused to accept the rider, and sent back the address to the Lower House with this addendum struck out. The Lower House, having made itself a laughing stock, then submitted to the snubbing so righteously inflicted, the Bishop of Lichfield being one of the bishopil upon whom devolved the duty of correcting his unconsti tutional - brother. Not the least extraordinary part of this remarkable affair is that the outrageous resolution should have been proposed by Canon Selwyn, whom many persons have named for the next vacant bishopric. I should imagine that his prospects of preferment must now be considerably clouded. Canon Selwyn is Professor of Divinity, and is, I daresay, an excellent divine ; but a bishop ought to be, if not a states man, at least acquainted with the fundamental principles of the Constitution. A very sad affair has just happened in town. Mr. George Henry Townsend, a well-known journalist, has committed suicide. Mr. Townsend wrote on the Conservative side, and during the late elections he worked very hard. Before they had terminated so adversely for his party, he com municated to his friends that the lite — Pielliad pro mised him first a post of £l,OOO a year at the Mint on its becoming vacant, as it was expected to become, and that this failing, he should have the post at the Inland Revenue held by Mr. James Disraeli, who was then known to be suffering from heart disease, andalmost certain to die shortly. Un happily for Mr. Townsend, Mr. James Disraeli's death took place after the power of appointment had passed from the late Premier's hands. The present Government have abolished the post, finding that the £1,200 a year conferred. upon the occupant of it could not be earned. This dimes pointinent seems to have preyed deeply upon Mr. Towns end'smind ; foraltliou fear any such although egavench t o i n e d v ic e a n ti , heonto committedhis friends which led them to suicide. The unfortunate gentlemen is to be buried to-day. The late Government appears to have excelled in the art of outrunning the constable. Not only will the Abyssinian expedition prove to have cost nearly half as much again as Sir Stafford Northcote's estimate, although it was concluded within the time assigned by the right hon. gentleman, but Mr. Lowe finds himself burdened with a miscellaneous civil service expenditure in excess of the estimates by no less than £131,844. Two of these items what,shou is ldbethienveexsttrigaat £19 ,00 0 F o o r n in a s e t c a o n i c in e, t to of w , l , i s o u m p , er a an nd nu fo a r . tions and retired allowances " paid ? does the £lB,OOO charged for printing and stationery include the copieS of Will-o'-thc-Wisp, which Captain Brandreth ordered for the sailors in the fleet, on the ground that the publication would have an excellent effect upon their morals? After these little incidents it is refreshing to turn to the state ment mode by Mr. Childers last night, in reply to Sir James Elphinstone, and to find that whereas it was the Conservatives who, in spite of lavish expenditure, discharged from 4,000 to 5,000 dockyardsmen, the Liberals will, in spite of closing Woolwich and Deptford, and effecting a reduction of expenditure to the extent of a million, not have to part with any of the dockyard hands. The Times to-day very properly takes Mr. Bright to task for the indiscreet speech which he made at the Chambers of Commerce dinner, and on which I animad verted in my letter of yesterday. In a thoroughly good natured, but yet quite outspoken article, the leading journal rebukes the President of the Board of Trade for following the example of Miss Saurin by calling upon the world to redress the wrongs which he is suffering from his ' colleagues. Mr. Bright is told that those colleagues have enough to do with the enemy in - front, without finding themselves blazed at from their own lines and defences. The Brethren of the Trinity House find themselves once more called upon to fight for their existence. They have been attacked before the President of the Board of Trade by the merchants and shipowneisof Liverpool, Newcastle, and Gateshead, and the Board has called upon the Corpo ' ration for their answer. It has not yet been published, but I am enabled to give you a sketch of the arguments for the defence ; they will interest your mercantile readers. The Elder Brethren contend that the charges now brought, more especially by the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce, are substantially the same as those made by Lord Clarence Paget in 1858, when he moved for a royal commission. That commission was granted, and it is contended that the report spewed there was no ground for the charges. The Brethren say that if the expense of lights, buoys, and beacons were transferred to the Consolidated Fund, the 28 per cent, which foreigners now pay for their share of the benefit of them would be lost to the country, as it must follow on free trade prin ciples that if the British shipowner were relieved the foreigner must be relieved also ; and the effect to the British shipowner would be that he must bear his share of the increased public taxation. The abolition of light dues is sought for by the memorialists on the principle of reciprocity with - other nations which levy no light-dues, but it is well known that though light-dues are not charged as such in France or America, there are port and tonnage-dues levied which include them, and are fully as burthensome to shipping, if not more so ; and it is not to be expected that these dues in foreign ports would be remitted even if the light-dues were abolished in this country. The Brethren complain that the memorialists draw a very unfair contrast as to the charges for lights on twelve months' working of a vessel between the Tyne and Havre and one making a voyage to China. True, the latter pays only once, say about £l5, and the former a very large sum ; but each vessel pays only in proportion to the times she reaps the benefits of the lights. The China vessel earns one freight, the Havre vessel perhaps twenty, and if she happens to go a trip in ballast she pays no light-dues at all. Steam navigation is conducted with such precision in the present day that vessels usually are enabled to steer a straight course from port to port, and many lights which are indispensable to a sailing vessel, which is influ enced by winds and tides, and frequently carried far out of her course, are never sighted by the steamship, so that it would be but justice in some cases to modify the charges for lights on the steamer. It must be borne in mind that many of the existing lights, especially the floating-light vessels, have been called for by the shipowner, they are solely for his benefit, for through them night navigation is rendered as safe and easy as that by day, and the coaster is thereby enabled to make many more voyages per annum than she otherwise could do. Those who reap the benefit should pay, and it would not be fair to add these dues to the already heavy burdens laid upon the back of the British taxpayer. Such is the substance of the Brethren's defence, which I leave to the consideration of those better acquainted with the controversy than I am.
