This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quito separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

WILIAEII, Sclerotimi OZCeI .84, gh0P140114440, S.QJ ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, L -3.-UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.G. 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 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, i n; no 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 ospe 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 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 premium 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 bo 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 ono 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 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 be 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-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, 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 Assuran3es—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 unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDEXTIA7. ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un gnestionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any of in the Kingdom. b'PEOIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

Considerable excitement was caused on Sunday inkh e East-end of the metropolis by a desperate attenti,t a t murder and suicide. A young man named Charles Gobey had been living with a gill, named 111ary Ann Chambers, at 12, Schoolhouse-lane, Stepney. In rebruar3- last she gave birth to a child, and subsequently, in consequence of the constant cruel treatment she experienced from Gobey, she left him and went back to live with her mother, taking the child with her, at Upper Cornwall street, St. George's-in-the-East. One day 'last week Gobey called to see her, but was told that she was out ; and the man was afterwards beard to threaten that he "would knife his old woman" if she did not return and live with him. On Sunday morning, at a little after ten o'clock, Gobey again went to the mother's house and asked Mrs. Chambers to persuade her laughter to return home with him. She replied that she would not do so ; and at that moment a married daughter of Mrs. Chambers entered the room with Gobey's child in her arms. He at once seized hold of the child and endeavoured to cut its throat with a clasp knife ; but the woman suc ceeded in preventing him from effecting his purpose. Un fortunately the girl Mary Anne then made her appearance, when Gobey rushed at her and stabbed her twice in the breast. He then went into the back kitchen, and, standing opposite a looking-glass, commenced hacking at his own throat. Meanwhile a policeman and a doctor had been sent for, and Gobey was secured and removed to the London Hospital on a stretcher, where be now lies in a precarious state. The injuries sustained by the young woman, although severe, are not considered to be.*of a dangerous description. SAUCE. —LEA and PE 11.1ZINS.—SA LICE.

Id., of which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected in the year. The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and lass account again exhibits a wnsiderable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £809,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management. are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into tho names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they aro only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. Dn.

As Woolwich Dockyard will he closed on the 18th inst., a large number of artisans drew their last week's pay, on Saturday last, when a most painful feeling of despair seemed to pervade the whole town of Woolwich, as well as Plumstead and Charlton. Of the established hands who left on Saturday, 160, who are chiefly shipwrights, will be removed to Ports-. month, and the others will be shifted to different yards this week. Mr. J. Trickett, Chief Engineer, is to be re moved to Keyhaan Yard ; and Mr. Saunders, the Master Shipwright, is expected to be shifted to Pernbrok - e., Mr. G. Bannister, Inspector of Shipwrights, has been superannuated on £BO per annum, and Mr. W. Clarke, Inspector of Caulkers, on £77. At least half the houses in some parts of the town are ticketed "To let " or " To be sold." Altogether a seriously depressed feeling Nr vades all classes at Woolwich and in the neighbouring towns. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. A LUNATIC SCALED To'DEATB. Asylum, negligence of a n a tt en d an t a t th e P auper Lunatic Asylum, at York, has been attended with fatal conse quences. In May last Mark Darrell, a police-officer, 39 years of age, was admitted a patient into the asylum. He was suffering from general paralysis, and was quite demented. On Friday week he was in a dirty state, and was taken into the bath room by William Tracey, an attendant, who had with him two patients, Amos Randall and John Lincoln, who were left in charge of Darrell. The cold water tap was turned on, but no cold water came. The hot water, how ever, was in abundance, and the tap was turned and the water allowed to run until there was a sufficiet quantity in the bath. Darrell was then placed in the bath by Lincoln. The water was very hot, and reached up to the poor fellow's knees. He did not cry out that he was scalded, as his malady rendered him unsusceptible to pain. He, however, had felt some pain, for he jumped out of the bath. His legs were red and blistered. Tracey returned at the moment, and dressed the poor fellow, who after wards had his breakfast, and went into the airing court. The conduct of Tracey was highly reprehensible. He ought himself to have washed Darrell, and not left two lunatics to do it ; and, in addition, he made no report of the scald ing to either Henry Brockbank, the head attendant, orthe medical officers. No further notice was taken of poor Darrell until half-past two in the afternoon, when be %vas noticed sitting on a bench in the airing court by Francis Porter, a farm attendant. His trousers were doubled up, his stockings were down, and his legs were red and inflamed. The case was then reported to the medical officers, and the man was taken to the infirmary, where he remained until his death, which took place on Sunday morning. In the opinion of both of the medical atten dants the death of the deceased was caused by the scald ing. The jury of the coroner's inquest called to investigate the cause returned a verdict that the deceased had been accidentally scalded, through the great neglect of the two attendants, Brockbank and Tracey. Immediately after the deceased was scalded, Tracey was discharged from his situation. A VILLAGE TO AVOIDED. At a late meeting of the Lincoln Board of Guardians, Mr. Mantle gave a description of a visit he paid, with other gentlemen, to the village of Scotherne. I% hat they saw, he said, he should never fo:get. The village was full of fever cases, and no wonder. The beck was dried up and the wells were filled with sewage matter. They went to one pump, And found the water emitted an unbearable stench. He (Mr. Mantle) asked a woman if she drank the water from the well, and she replied that she did, but that it stank a bit ; and there could be no doubt about that, for the well was full of " pure " sewage matter. They went to another house, occupied by a widow with five children, the head of the family having died of fever last year. This family were now on the books of the union. The house was built on a declivity ; the pigsty, privy, vault, and cesspool were quite full, and after a shower of rain the contents were washed up to and past the door. The family was in an emaciated state, and one of the children was suffering from fever. After inspecting that part of the village they proceeded to the house of a man named Harrison, who, with his wife, was laid up with fever ; bah man and wife were buried in one grave a few days ago, leaving five children to be sup ported by the union. When visited the unfortunate couple were in the last stage of fever, and the vil lagers had such a dread of the disease that none of them would enter the house, and the clergyman and relieving officer bad to administer the medicine themselves. Harrison was the Lest workman in the parish. The cost to the union has already been £l2, and at the lowest computation a cost of £6OO would fall upon the union for maintaining the children, and pro bably they might remain paupers for life. This amount would have been sufficient to drain the parish. There were many other cases of fever iu the village. Mr. Mantle concluded by moving that the guardians put in full force the power vested in them by the Nui sances Removal Act, and that a committee he appointed to take action in all sanitary matters outside the city. Ultimately sevezal guardians were appointed to visit Scotherne and do what was necessary ; but (as a contem porary asks) would it not have been possible and advi sable to have done " what was necessary" before all these lives had been sacrificed and all these paupers thrown on he rates? The inquest on Watson, at Portadown, has ter minated in a verdict of " Manslaughter " against Sub• Inspector Nenan, who has been bailed. SOMETHING LIRE A FAIL URE.—Th e Auckland Herald of 25th June, says :—" It is rumoured in Sydney that a Melbourne squatter has failed for a million." TnE GOVERNOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA.— Mr. Weld is the first colonial statesman that has been ap. pointed as a Governor to any of Her Majesty's colonies. At the end of August the Central Committee had received subscriptions to the amount of 74,000 thalers in round numbers, in aid of the families of the miners who were killed by the late explosion at the Burgh collieries. A man attending one of the Dissenting churches in Stirling was lately offered an eldership in the congregation of which he is a member, and declined on the ground that being the keeper of a public-house, he, could not " in conscience " be also an elder. Some severe rainstorms have visited Central lowa. A man and a woman were struck by lightning and killed near the town of Newton recently, and a railroad train ran into the river where the bridge had given way, and two men were killed. A California paper reports that there were 50,000 tons of wheat lying in sacks along the banks of the Sacramento River in Tehama, Butte, Sutter, Colula and Yolo countries, on the Ist 'of August, and that 00,000 more were to follow, making 110,000 tons as the yield a five counties. It was stated in the Dublin Police -court on Saturday during the • heariug of a charge for receiving diseased meat for the purposes of sale, which was dismissed for an informality in the summons, that no less than 31,0001 b. weight of raw meat has been seized in the city by the officers of the Public Health Committee within the past three months as unfit for human food.
