ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.G. Establisbed 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 thoir 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, 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 pentium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually pail may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Isesides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ono greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who aro 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 1 ngest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the T)tbles. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this el tss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may he called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benetikof 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 unehallenrablo on any pronnd whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ineome of X 215.000 a► ye:a. Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now bu•ines of nny (nee in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARTIF,N, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 Is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable re d uc tion, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per rent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Du. L IABI LITIES.

OCIDBETT, secretary' /7W ~ j / ' U~ , ~~~ - , FOREIGN NOTES SINISTER OMENS. The Telegraph regards the reconstruction of the Menabrea Cabinet as a very significant event. The union of Menabrea, Minghetti, and of Mordini, the quondam Garibaldian, in one Cabinet, is nothing less, it believes, than an attempt to form a power ful Government to meet the contingency of an impending war. In political circles at Florence war is belie►ed to imminent. General Menabrea has laid before the French Government the impossibility of the pro visional arrangement with regard to Roman affairs con tinuing any longer ; and he has received in reply an assurance that a great war is probable, by force of which Italy might attain the object of her ambition. " The prospects of an alliance between France, Austria, and Italy are openly discussed in high political circles at Florence ; and though the current rumours may be, and we believe are, unfounded, their existence explains the sudden coalition which has been formed, under Menabrea's Premiership, between the Piedmontese, the Garibaldians, and the Constitutional Liberals." ENGLAND AND AMERICA. The remarkable letter, signed "An American Citizen," which appeared in the Times a few days ago, deprecating the importance attached to Mr. Sumner's speech, was written by Mr. Grimes, a member of the United States Senate, and who happened to be hi London at the time. He is an influential man, and he holds that there is not any prospect of a collision. Mr. Sumner's speech was published by permission because it is almost a matter of course to give leave to any member of the Senate who wishes to make his sentiments in debate fully known ; and it monopolised attention on the late occasion because, happening to be the only one delivered on the rejection of the treaty whose author was ambitious of print, there was little else upon the subject for the public to read. But this in no way proves that Mr. Sumner's rhetoric or his reasoning was approved of by the whole, or even by a majority of his colleagues. Among the fifty senators who voted for the rejection of the Clarendon-Johnson treaty, much diversity of motives existed. There is no doubt, however, that the majority were dissatisfied with the over anxiety shewn by Mr. Reverdy Johnson to bring the controversy to a close during the brief period of his mission ; and they were resolved at any hazard to show that America could wait until such time as, without the possibility of being misapprehended in her tone of claim, the matters in dispute might be adjusted. As Mr. Motley comes with no instructions, and our Government cannot make any further move in the matter, the question will necessarily be hung up for a time. Mr. Sumner, in his recent speech on the Clarendon- Johnson Treaty, laid down at great length what he deemed the just doctrine of neutrality between belligerents. Be tween two established nations, both independent, there might, he admitted, be neutrality. But when one was "an odious combination of rebels," a declaration of neutrality was unequal in opera tion, for it invested the rebels with the rights of war, and gave them a status which did not properly belong to them. It was on this ground that he complained of the Queen's Proclamation of 1861. Sir Francis Head, late Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, publishes certain official documents which exemplify how admirably the Americans have carried out this doctrine in cases of rebellion against us. In December 1837 an American " General," named Mackenzie, made a raid into Upper Canada. He suddenly appeared before Toronto at the head of GOO men. The raid was of the most contemptible character. Mackenzie not only had no more than 500 men, whilst the population of the province was 200,000—Toronto alone having 10,000—but even these 500 were badly armed, very few having rifles. The mob was dispersed at once. The IL itish troops had been sent out of the province, but the people rose and scattered the " invading force," Mackeree with difficulty escaping into the States three days after he opened the " campaign." So completely did the outbreak collapse that every pri loner was pardoned and discharged. But bow did the A mAican Government act? Mackenzie was a runaway murderer. Previously to his having appeared in arms he had committed highway robbery, arson, and murder. It was owing to these crhneb, committed before his act of treason, that Sir Francis Head requested the American Government to deliver him up in virtue of the treaty then in force. The Governor of New York State refused. He regarded Mackenzie as a belligerent, and, therefore, proclaimed neutrality between him and her Majesty's Government. Here are the Governor's own words : "lie (Mackenzie) was at the head of a military force, a hostile force to the Government, and seeking its subver dion and overthrow by violence. It was a civil war ; whether just or unjust is not material for the present pur pose to inquire ; it is enough that it was a state of open, public, and notorious war, on one side to overthrow, and in the other to preserve, the Royal Government. All who mere thus arrayed- against the Government may in view of its laws be niurdeuers or felons as well as traitors, but so far as regards other Governments, and as respects the queAion now pending, they should, I apprehend, be looked upon as traitors only, and of eonsequenc- as men who have not forfeited a right to an asylum within the limits of an independent State." And, in fact, not only was th's mur.lerer protected, though be had insulted the American Government but he was encouraged and supported in every way. And the nation whose representativ,s proclain.ed the bellige• rency of this kind, den and hundreds of millions sterling as ieraration for our proclan a'...on of neutrality betwetn the North and the South! CHILDREN FOR THE FAR WEST. A corresrondent of the Daily News recounts L good work done by the Children's Aid Society in New York. For fifteen years this society has been instrumental in sending children to the West, and in improving their con dition generally. The number of children it has sent out has been over 1.5,000, and they have been scattered over fifteen different States. The Western farmers are glad to receive these children, who in their turn become speedily domiciled. All applications are referred to local committees, to provide against imposture, and no child is sent out without the consent of its parents, if they can be found. For the most part the children are orphans. The agents of the society meet with them principally in the lodging-houses which it has established. These are most useful institu tions, and many avail themselves of the advantages they offer. Every effort is made by the society to induce boys to abandon New York for the Western prairies, where they are out of the reach of temptation. In the event of poor English children being sent out to that country, it would be well to communicate with the secretary of the Children's Aid Society. A DISCOVERY ON THE PACIFIC RAILWAY. A vast coalfield, extending for three hundred miles, has Deen discovered on the line of the Union Pacific Railway. As regards the " opening up " of the Far West, this coal deposit is of the greatest importance, but to the Pacific Railway Company it is of special value. The coaling of trains which had to run many hundred miles through a desert country, was one of the great difficulties of the undertaking. But now the company owns mines extend ing along the most dreary part of the route, and an inexhaustible supply of coal is thus secured at a low rate. Six mines have already been opened. One of these yielded 4,000 tons in three weeks. The coal is of excellent quality. THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN. Admiral Topete, who appears to be the enfant terrible of the Revolutionary Government, made an important statement in the Cortes on Thursday. In answer to Senor Castelar, he said that though he supported the September Revolution, he was desirous of saving the Queen and the dynasty ; but after their expulsion be opposed their return. lie thought they could best solve the Government problem by elevating Montpensier to the throne, but he had no understanding with the Duke or the Duchess. He had acted as subordinat e to Serrano and Prim, and they all awaited the initiative and decision of the Cortes. He warned the Assembly that 1 Republic, a Monarchy, and a Regency seemed e q uall y , 4, ,mpossible. " Beware," he added, " lest if you make every solution impossible, some insolent, daring man under- take to cut the knot you are unable to solve. You will not applaud me now, but you will understand me." This ltatement, reported by the Times correspondent, is impor tant as an official acknowledgment of the difficulties which beset the Government, but it is the reverse of hopeful. If a Republic, a Monarchy, and a Regency are alike impos sible, even though the Ministry commands a majority of et least three to one, the unsophisticated mind may well inquire what the Revolutionary leaders propose to do. The situation is one which ought to be in their own hands. the country supported them to the fullest extent at the general elections. The minority have indeed fought hard for a Republic, but they have fought only with legitimate weapons, and they have been easily beaten. After rejecting._the Republiora schemes, the Ministry ought to have something to offer in their stead ; but all the confiding 'I p , te can uggest is the possibility of a coup d'itat by some "insolent, daring man." The Times correspondent is of opinion that the Regency t h e only effect a peaceful solution, project is now It is stated that an unusual number of Americans will vi,it Europe during the approaching season.
