A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, itlsued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-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 the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate, the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall bo 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on ,he discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either agt 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 as!.uring 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 bo 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. Tho longest• term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, tankers, 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 maibt,in the full benefit of the Assurat.ces—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral t,ecurity. It is only neres,:ary to add that, nsn Yonsncinenco of the policies ender these iables being unforfeltable and uncon ditional, they will also be nuchdlengeahle on any sirnund whatever.

SeerPtsrv. 111E7 ROPOLITAN GOSSIP—Sat •trclay. But far more important than these personal questions is the great national one, What will the Ministers do with the bill? Will they accept all the Lords' amendments, or will they reject them at the risk of throwing out the bill and losing the whole work of the session, and exciting a popular clamour against the Upper House ? I have good reason for believing that Ministers will shew themselves generous on all that concerns vested interests, and will be ready to stretch a point in order to give the largest interpretation of that word; but they will not admit the principle of concurrent endowment in any form, despite the articles in the Times. It is impossible to say more than this ; it is impossible, for instance, to tell if this or that amendment will be rejected ; for so great is the diversity of opinion among the Liberal members of the Lower House that the una- nimity which sufficed to pass the bill might not suffice to reject the Lords' amendments. Even now it is by no means certain that the bill will pass at present. Indeed a very distinguished member of the Ministry who was standing on the steps of the Throne last night was hea rd to remark, after the Chancellor had announced the figures upon the first division, that he feared there wa no chance of the bill becoming law this session. Ido not attach verymuch importance to this expression of a momen. tary vexation, which must have been greatly healed by the subsequent Ministerial victory. For the present, every thing tends towards a conference between the two Houses, and Ministers and journalists are just now engaged in hunting up precedents. It may perhaps help the Lords to a friendly result to know that Clerkenwell has 5,000 handbills " Down with the Lords ! " ready printed, and to be posted on the walls, if occasion demands. The new control scheme did not come into operation on Thursday after all. The War Office has done its duty. But Mr. Lowe is not satisfied, and has suggested some grave objection to Sir Henry Storks's scheme. So there is likely to be a good deal more committee sitting before the matter is settled. FOD.EIGN NOTES. THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CAELE. The opinion of the United States Attorney-General respecting the landing of the French Atlantic Cable— the .first announcement of which appeared in our American telegrntn*---ba. 84 von rich mutola the other side of the " pond." It will be remembered that the law officer denied the right of any individual State to allow the cable to be lauded ; such power belonged to Conzress only. 3 t is generally thought, however, that, until Congress legislates on the subject, the Massachusetts grant will hold good, and tha cable will shortly be landed in the State if all goes right with the treat Eastern. Nor is it at all likely that the telegraph company will experience much trouble when the matter does come before Congress, for the second cable is a mani fest political advantage to the United States. In case of war with England, the Americans will still have the wire to France ; in case of a war with France there will be the cable to England. THE MONET LOST THROUGH MR. SUMNER'S SPEECH. Heavy losses on all sides were the effect of Mr. Sumner's speech on the Alabama Claims Treaty. Nobody attempts to disguise this fact. The Anglo-American Times corn plains that Mr. Sumner has been abused in England, but is, nevertheless, constrained to admit that the t•ffect of his famous exordium was most disastrous in checking the upward tendency of the United States Bonds. " They were arrested at the very moment when, in response to Secre tary Boutwell's policy, the accumulations in the Treasury consequent on the buoyancy of the revenue returns and the retrenchments of the Administration, they would have had a rapid and continued rise. Supposing that they would (as they ought) have gone over 9), and that the European holding represents nearly £200,000,000, the gain which would have accrued but for the political attitude assumed equals a score of millions of sovereigns." Numerous English capitalists, too, were deterred by Mr. Sumner's effusion ; and as American securities pay a very high rate of interest at a time when people cannot find a safe market for their money, the loss on this side of the Atlantic must be enormous. This, on the admission of a journal which complains of the abuse heaped on Mr. Sumner, ii the net result of his speed). Is the treatment ac corded to a man who has worked such mischief too hard? Chaos is come again. There never was such an im broglio of parties as there was last night. 213 voted against Government, in order to restore the Irish clergy their houses and glebes, 113 voted against them on the proposition to give houses and glebes to Roman Catholics and Presbyterians. Consequently there was an overwhelming Ministerial defeat in the first instance, awl a decisive Ministerial victory in the second; with this further result, that the bill is rendered utterly inconsistent and absurd. In truth it had been rendered pretty much so before. The Peers having passed the second reading of the bill in order to save their order, are now emasculating the bill in order to save the Church. But even from their point of view they have bungled lamentably. The Duke of Cleveland's proposal was at least intelligible and consis tent. A large number of Liberal peers supported it, Lord Houghton whipped for it, Lord Russell and Lord Halifax spoke for it. But, fortunately for Ministers, there was a split among their o pp onents. The 11 - I,',g and the High Churchmen were prepared to endow all ; the Tories and the Low Churchmen were prepared to endow only one. Consequently the most serious danger which the Government had to encounter, that which the Times has been plotting day after day, was escaped. The old motto, _Divide et inipera, mill cnce more prevail. True the Earl of Malinesbury has threatened to raise the question again en the fah clause, NI bleb disposes of the surplus. On the other hand, the Duke of Cleveland voted for the resteratien of the glebes to the Protestant clergy only on the condition that they were granted all round; so that what is lost to the Government in one direction is gained in another. Very funny was the scene at the second division this morning. Lord Hatberley and Lord Cairns—the Chan cellor and the ex-Chancellor—went into the same lobby, walking shoulder to shoulder, laughing heartily at this "concurrent" vote. On the first division so large was the number of peers voting with the "Not Contents" that the door had to be reopened and the first of the "Not Contents " readmitted to the House before the last had passed out of the House by the Bar. It is generally considered that Lord Cairns's career as leader of the Opposition will not be of long duration. His influence is daily decreasing ; that of Lord Salisbury is daily increasing. The last-named peer has, however, his foes among his own party. Never over burdened with modesty, he has, in consequence of the leader in yesterday's Times hailing him as dictator of the situation, become intolerably overbearing. Thus both the leading Conservative peers contrast very strongly with the leader of the Liberals. Lord C ranville's praises are in the mouth of everyone, and his splendid temper under the combined adverse influences of the gout and repeated defeats is the theme of universal admiration. 52, Floet-street.

MUTINY OF THE VOLUNTEERS IN CUBA. The Spaniards in Cuba are doing their best to deprive their country of its great "possession. The American Government has broken np the insurgent establishment at New York, and it seems likely that the despatch of aid to Cuba will be attended with great difficulties in future. But, instead of improving this opportunity, the volunteers are playing the insurgents' game by rebelling against their officers. The news we have pub lished by special telegram is very serious. The accounts of the first mutiny, which led to the resignation of General Duke, represented the incapacity of that officer as the sole cause of the discontent ; but this last outbreak has taken place after the arrival of the able Caballero de Rodas. If he cannot suppress the insurrection, to what officer can the Spaniards hopefully entrust their cause? THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Constitutionnel and the Patric announce the termi nation of the railwayi mbroglio between France and Belgium. The commissioners have held another meeting, and the result is that the Belgian Government " has acceded to the equitable demands of France." Nothing now remains but to draw up the conventions. The official Paris papers persist in their affirmation that England and Austria recommended Belgium to give way ; but so far as England is concerned it is denied, both in London and Paris, that any direct advice was given by Earl Clarendon. The Pattie says that the position of the Brussels Ministry has greatly improved since it was resolved to accept the French terms. M. Frtre•Orban will not resign. QUEEN ISABELLA. The question of the ex-Queen of Spain's abdication is still under the consideration of her supporters. The Memorial Diplornatique gravely assures us of what we already knew—that the Isabellists regard the abdication of the Queen in favour of her son as their only chance. But one grave difficulty interposes : the assent of the Queen herself is needed, and her Majesty seems bard to convince of the necessity of such a proceeding. Marfori has gone to Germany, on account of the ill effect produced by his presence—a very wise step, provided that no successor be appointed. THE KHEDIVE. Ismail Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt, has arrived at Brussels, and has met with an enthusiastic reception. It is worthy of note that the escort was at the station in very good time, and SO were the great functionaries who received the Khedive. In fact, his Highness was three quarters of an hour late, the inhabitants of the cities on the route being anxious to do honour to the illustrious visitor, and frequent stoppages being requisite for that purpose.
