Idc•ndo, E.Q. September 1868. A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L -1, - FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL .ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgato-bill, London, E. C. Established 1848. • 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, 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 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 Waled on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. Ey 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 Tuble.s. Tiflis, bankers, credi -tors, and - others holding policies of this cliss 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 are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, ns n consequence of the policies under these tables being nnforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also he unchalleng , ?able on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. Th PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ineorne of £215,000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now bnsim•ss of anv office in the Kingdom.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d. 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 tho Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work iq 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. London, March 18, 1869. FOREIGtN NOTES. REPUBLICAN POLICY IN AMERICA. We have already announced the result of the Pepub tic= State Conventions in Pennsylvania and Ohio ; but the details are interesting as shewing, the utter collapse of the project of making a war with England part of the Republican platform. The committee appointed to pre. pare resolutions for the Pennsylvanian Convention made so allusion whatever to the Alabama claims as a party question. The resolution upon which they agreed merely expressed confidence in General Grant's policy towards England, and approved the rejection of the Clarendon- Johnson treaty. When these mild expressions were submitted to the Convention, the war party at once took exception to them. Another resolution, insisting upon "a settlement of the Alabama claims on a basis which will fully vindicate the honour of this Government,' was proposed, instead of that drawn up by the comiratte. The war party supported their proposal by vigorous speeches. One said that the substitute meant, " Fight if we cannot get justice." Another declared that when the nation asserted an munistakable right t should maintain. its position at all hazards yid by all means. lie for one would not be scared at the word " fight," if that was the meaning of the sub stitute. This gentleman seemed to entertain some respect for the "British Lion," but the Americana, ho thought, ought to vindicate their rights against England, just as they would against Spain. But this patriotic way of considering the matter availed nothing. The reception these bellic)Fe orators met with proved that their party was in the minority. The committee's mild resolution, snd not that of the war party, -was adopted. A mas 3 meeting of the Rlmblicans—held to ratify the doings of the Couvention—•,vas afterwards held. Some of the speeches were warlike, others not so. One orator quietly intimated that they had enough widows to care for, and the decision of the Convention was ratified. Tho Republicans of Ohio would have none of this war project- The resolutions passed alluded only in the most general terms to the foreign policy of the Grant Cabinet. The Alabama controversy was not mentioned. So much for the war platform. The proceedings of these two local Conven tions are of much importance, for of all the American States only New York can vie is wealth and population with Pennsylvania and Ohio. TIIE CUBAN INSURRECTION. It is acknowledged that the sudden vigour of the American Government in suppressing the filibustering expeditions was owing to its desire to maintain its posi tion in the Alabama controversy. It was impossible to complain of the escape of the " OP whilst vessels full of arms and men were sailing away to Cuba in open daylight. Indeed, the Spanish Minister was frankly told that the people of the United States sympathised with the Cubans, but that the expeditions would be stopped to avoid violation of the neutrality laws. What ever may be the motive, the result has been highly satis factory to Spain. Considerable hauls of the " patriots " have been made in New York almost every day, and, in fact, filibustering there is at an end. The effect is that whereas all recent news was in favour of the insurgents, the Spaniards are now gaining the advantage, THE INDIAN WAR. The accounts from the Indian territory are not satis factory. The Indian agent in Arizona says that many whites are killed and robberies constantly committed, and gives detailed accounts of several Indian fights and mas• sacres already reported. In Kansas great excitement prevails against the Indians. The newspapers call on the people to begin a war of extermination, but the antho rities endeavour to restrain them. The Indians arc now, however, fighting with each other, and this, it is thought, may "save a good deal of trouble." THE GROG-SHOP ABROAD. M. Dubois Thorn, Governor of Brabant, has opened the local council of that Belgian province with a speech devoted entirely to the interests of the working man. It does not appear that M. Thorn found anything new to say on this question, but it is a little remarkable that such a speech should be devoted wholly to such a subject. It is remarkable, too, that he attributed the evils which beset the working man in Belgium to the wine-shop, and expressed the belief that the only mode of improving the ( .on 'Non of the humbler classes was to get rid of Viat curse. Le cabaret, 'voila la plaid! M. Thorn has no hope that the working man will be greatly benefited by being paid a share of profits instead - of fixed wages. Economy is his great resource, but saving is impossible so long as the cabaret retains its present favour. Give up the wine-shop, and not only will the money spent there be save ?,but the Monday's holiday, or rather idleness, which appears to be as common in Belgium as in England, would be abandoned also. It may be noted that M. Joira- - Simon, one of the advanced Liberals just returned to the French Parliament, has recently expressed precisAy the same sentiments. And yet the French and Belgian: are, admittedly, far more sober than the English. But it seems that the came evil exists everywhere. THE SKOPTST. The Pus3ian Government has dealt very severely witli the leading members of the Skoptsi, the miserable sect whose chief rite is a barbarous self-mutilation, and whose c'iief object is to overthrow the existing form of Mimeo• vite rule. One l'lotitsyne, a merchant of the first order, has been sentenced to the loss of his civil rights, and to banishment to Siberia, for promoting the spread of these doctrines. Twenty-four other persons, mostly women, have likewise been ordered off to Siberia, but some of them will be spared, •it is expected, on account of their great age. What has become of the enormous sums of money found in the possession of these wretches no one can tell. HUNGARY. An exp!osion of fire-damp, resulting in the loss of 1:9 has just taken place in a coalpit at Darwin, in Hungary. THE WAR OF 1866. A semi-official correspondent of a Hamburg paper— apparently a diplomatist —has set matters right about the intrigues which preceded the war of 1866. He says there can be no doubt that a treaty was concluded between France and Austria in the middle of June. By this arrangement Italy was to have Venice, Austria to be compensated by Prussian Silesia, and France—it may be presumed--was to be paid with the Rhine frontier. Nothing cruld be more admirable than the manner in which this trap was set- except the style in which the plotters themselves fell into it. 111ARKE7 S-2 MS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
