They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. 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 assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd. 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 quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. 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 Unchallongeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; ne 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 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 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 sot forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Oroditors 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 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 ibsued on this plan will be without any conditions as to vnyncing, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be sntirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actul.l securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The ingest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by tho 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 tho full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies axe 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 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 HARBEN, Secretary.

This is now the correct thing for full dress. As worn by Mr. Wallack it is a very elegant costume, and our dandies will imitate it of course. it is not well suited for their legs." "K." writes to the Boston Advertiser the account of a boat race between an English and American crew in 1824 at New York. A British frigate arrived from the West Indies and anchored off the Battery. Having a trained boat's crew on board, the captain published a challenge in the American papers to pull a given distance against his crew. The boatmen of New York took it up, and although considering their task almost hopeless in the face of the superior training and the great confidence of tho English, they set to work to make the best arrangements possible. The boats started from the frigate, about one mile up the North River, around a barge anchored in the stream and back to the man-of-war,each with six oarsmen and a coxs wain. The captain of the English frigate steered his own boat, but to do honour to the occasion he came out in " full fig," with a great cocked hat, which acted as a sail as they pulled against a strong wind up the river. Whether the cocked hat was the reason or not, the " Whitehall" boat took the lead, and kept it, increasing the distance till they won by nearly a quarter of a mile, amid shouts of delight, New York devoting the remainder of tho day to celebrat ing the victory. The boat, with the crew in it, was car ried in triumph through the principal streets, and in the evening was exhibited at one of the theatres, and a sort of ovation given to the men. The English officer took his defeat with good nature, and was complimented for his fairness and ready submission to the result, which some thought was in no small degree attributable to his cocked hat, HOME for the HELPLESS.—ST.

The best scores made at all the ranges at Spa, have just been published, from which it appears that at 175 metres, where the highest possible score was 25 points, Rollin, of Liege, made 22, Alliston, of Northampton, and Dyce, of Rent, coming nest with 21 ; Corporal Peake, of Manchester, scored 20. At the 550 metres range, Wyatt, of the London Rifle Brigade. stands first with 20, no Belgian scoring more than 12. Cortis, of Worthing, made the highest score (18), at 750 metres, being closely followed by Gustimi, of Paris, with 17. Another member of the Worthing corps, named Stanford, made the greatest number of points at 1,000 metres, having scored 14. It is said to be determined to have the Belgians feted in England in 1870. LOSS OF BRITISH SHIPS NEAR AMERICA. A letter from New York, dated September 13, mention% several serious disasters to British ships, and the entire, loss of three. One, which was ascertained to be the brig , W. D. 8., bound from Boston to Portland, was passed, bottom upwards, about eleven miles south of Cape . Elizabeth. Nothing had been heard of the crew. A large vessel, supposed to be the Mayflower, bound from Newcastle to Portland, is also reported to have foun- i tiered. A telegram from Ilavannah mentions the total destruction by fire, on the Bth inst , off Cayo, Santa Maria, of the bark Thistle, bound from Glasgow to Matanzas. The, crew were raved by a Spanish vessel of war. The brig ; Kinloch, belonging to Maryport, and bound from Ardros, san to Dublin, went ashore about two miles north of the' former port on Friday evening. All the crew were saved,; but little hopes are entertained of getting the vessel off. Nearly fifty leading residents of the Turkish capi, tal—mostly British—have joined the Constantinople Yachts Club. Chief Justice Whiteside and Mr. Justice Keogh will try Barrett at the special commission in Galway, for, firing at Captain Lambert at Athenry, in that county. The revising barrister commenced his labours ail Chelsea yesterday. The Conservatives expect a gain o; 800 votes. On the 4th October the mansion and estate as Teddington, recently belonging to Benjamin Higgs, of the Central Gas Company, are to be sold under the bankruptcy at the Auction Mart. It is announced that her Majesty has, through the Home Secretary, granted a full pardon to a youth flamer; Archibald Brown, who was convicted of forgery and sen., tenced to five years' penal servitude at Kington Assizes tat months since. A condition is attached to the pardon, that the youth, who is not over seventeen years of age, shall go, abroad for the remainder of the term of five years. It is stated that there is likely to be some culty about Lord Westbury, even if otherwise so disposed, accepting the vacant Lord Justiceship, by reason of the fact that he would be junior to Sir Markham Giffard, who a very., short time since practised before him. Sir J. C. Selwyni yielded the post of honour to Sir W. Page Wood (nowt Lord Chancellor), but it is by no means so certain that Sit!) M. Giffard would follow his example in favour of Lord Westbury. Mrs. Burton, who died recently at Roundhay, neat Leeds, has left some munificent bequests for charitable pur. poses. The total amount of her benefactions exceed; £30,000, of which £15,000 is to be devoted to the erection of Wesleyan chapels and schools in Cumberland and Scot• land. The Wesleyan Homo Missions, the Bible Society, ant the Leeds Infirmary each receive £2,000, and half that suns is left to each of the following institutions—Woodhouse Grove School, Kingswood School, the Leeds Dispensary, and the Leeds House of Recovery. After existing over twelve weeks the dispute between the proprietors of the Strafford Main Colliery and their men has at length been amicably settled. A conference between the parties was held on Saturday. and, so far as regards the Silkstone Pit, has happily been of a satisfactory character. Henceforth the system of getting the coal will be different from that hitherto adopt( cl at this colliery, and as the new system will be more economical the change will be an advantage to the proprietors. The me will resume work at their former wages on Friday next, and if, after continuing in operation for six months, the men are not satisfied with the system, the question will be submitted to arbitration. The Hon. Anson Burlingame and the Chinese Mission left Paris on Wednesday for Norway and Sweden and will return to the French capital by Denmark, Hol land, and Belgium, the intention being to negotiate treaties with those Powers. Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Hon. Mr. Burlingamo have come to an arrangement for a conciliatory policy towards China, and have agreed that the agents of France shall act in accordance with that determination. Mr. George Wilkes, from whom a letter appears in the Spirit of the Times on the boat race, which he witnessed, is likely to be nominated American Minister to Peking. No ap pointment of Secretary of War has yet been made, but the names most frequently mentioned in connection with it, are General Grenville M. Dodge, chief engineer of the Pacifio Railroad, and General Logan of Illinois.—The President has appointed Colonel Jesse M. Bayles, Postmaster at Louisville, Kentucky, in place of Dr. Speed, who has been in office eight years. This appointment is in accordance with a declaration of President Grant made some time ago, that certain persons, who have held office eight years, must give place to others who have suffered by the war, pro. vidod they are equally competent for the position.
