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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CFIALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 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 cialls commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of preniium, 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 is 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 p►yable 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 dompany 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 Wiled 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 Assurances—a matter of groat 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 unchalleugeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. Tho 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 offleo iu the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

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 £sl2s. per cent.

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 reduction, 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 loss 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.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destiEuto sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

'FOREI - GN NOTES., mums OP ME TWICH 13iPPROD, The health of the Emperor Napoleon is said to be very indifferent just now. He was very feeble during his visit to Chalons and Beauvais, and the Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige says that on Sunday last, after a d6eilner at pouchy-le-Chatel, he fainted away. He was unable to walk from the chateau to the railway station— s very short distance—and had to be assisted into a car riage by two persons. ENGLAND AND THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Belgian members of the Commission on the railway difficulty, after another journey to Brussels to confer with their Government, have returned to Paris. Once more the official papers express the hope that the dispute will now besettled. It seems they are all under the impres sion that England has counselled Belgium to accept the demands of France in their entirety ; and the Patric, which is very positive on this point, says that the advice of the British Government is likely to be followed. In fact, the Patrie announces, as an official communication, that all the Powers which assisted at the London Conference in 1831, which led to the recognition of the Belgian Kingdom, have expressed the opinion that the demandai France in no way infringe the independence of Belgium, and they accordingly recommend the settle. meat of the question in accordance with these demands. If this be really the case, the question must be regarded as settled. Many of the German papers have begun to look upon this Belgian difficulty with a very jealous eye. Some of them even announced that England was about to send a squadron to the mouth of the Scheldt. But the Patric affirms that this rumour arose from the fact that the Flying Squadron was at first destined to touch at some of the European ports. This design, however, has been aban doned, and the squadron will go direct to Brazil. OUR NW OOLONIAL POLICY. The Canadian Government has been informed by a despatch from Earl Granville that dm home authOrities are quite willing to assist thenalary in tbe.work'of forti fying, by guaranteeing loans for the construction of defences. At the same time, however, the British Ministry does not consider it necessary that the Canadians should involve themselves in any expense of this kind unless they choose to do so. Earl Granville adds that all the Imperial troops not needed for the military stations on the peace establishment will be withdrawn. If vessels of war are required on the lakes the colonists must pay for them. It seems that this new policy of refusing to make the colonies a burden on the English taxpayer does not displease the Canadians. At least the Toronto Globe approves of the change, and remarks that the people of Canada need neither fortifica tions nor a larger army, nor did they ever feel any appre hension of an American invasion. Of course not ; when a danger seems to have passed away, it is always the practice for people to cry out that they never thought it was real. AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH THE CUBANS. The arrest of the Cuban Junta at New York is approved by the leading American lawyers, and most decidedly the measure was not taken too soon. The work of the Junta had so far progressed that, in fact, the cause of the insurgents was being won on American ground. A recruiting-office had been established at Brooklyn, and men were— and probably still are—enrolled there daily. The .11rew York Herald understands that President Grant is in favour of granting belligerent rights to the Cubans, but the Cabinet is against him. Secretary Fish strongly sympathises with the Cubans, but Attornoy-G eneral Hoar and Secretary Bontwell are pronouncedly on the othcr side. TUE INSURRECTION IN crn t. The news from Cuba brought by steamer has mostly been anticipated by telegraph. It is vague, and in some respects conflicting, but, on the whole, de cidedly unfavourable to the Spanish cause. It appears more than ever certain that the insurgents won the engage ment —some say there were two —in the neighbourhood of Puerto Padre. The force which has landed under General Jordan has joined the natives, according to the New York Herald. As we have previously announced, the insurgents have now established communication with the sea coast, and will be able to protect the landing of expedi tions. The New York journals agree that the Spaniards are getting frightened, NOVA SCOTIA. A few days ago we announced by telegraph that the league formed to promote the repeal of the union between Nova Scotia and the Dominion of Canada had passed strong resolutions in favour of annexation to the United States. These resolutions, however, are in favour of using only " legitimate " means to secure the end in view. Leagues are to be formed throughout the province for the purpose of agitating the annexation question. THE LATE MR. RAYMOND. The death of Mr. Ilaymond, the founder and editor of the Neu , Y,,rk Times, has given rise to expressions of regret from the whole of the New York Press. To no man does American journalism owe so much. At a time when the rowdyism, which is yet by no means extinct, was the chief characteristic of the United States Press, Mr. Raymond set an example is moderation and impartiality which has had great effect. Under his management the New York Times became a great power in the States, and yet its style of thought was the very converse of that of American journalism in general. So far from committing himself hastily to extravagant opinions, Mr. Raymond was railer extreme in his caution. The objection he was most likely to make to an article submitted to him by one of his subordinate editors was, " You go a little too far; / hardly think your position true and sound." "He was never known to dictate to his journalistic staff opinions which they must express in opposition to their own views. His custom has been to not even give suggestions to the Tines' editorial writers, but to leave each to write what ha thought fit, and the article done and handed to him ha would insert it or not as he thought proper." In short, he made the Press of New York respectable, and even those of its representatives which have not yet attained respectability are fain to acknowledge this. MR. PEABODY. We in England are often guilty of mobbing our cele• brities, but we scarcely inflict upon them such hard treat ment as is experienced by people of note in America. At the Boston Peace Festival, on Friday, June 18, Mr. Pea body was present. Between the first and second parts of the concert he was at once seized by the Mayor, and brought forward as the " friend of the whole world." Mr. Peabody, in response to tumultuous cheering, said that his love for the Old World could never exceed that which he enter• tained for the New. CIVILISED AMUSEMENTS. We recently drew attention to a shocking trapeze per• formance by girls, which has afforded infinite delight to the people and the journals of New York and Phila delphia. One elder sister hangs from a trapeze with her head downwards, and a younger swings from off another trapeze, turns a somersault in the air, and is caught by th• hands of the suspended girl. This exhibition, which outdoes even the horrors to be witnessed in England, has just had its natural result. A man who stands below to take the little girl from the hands of her sister dropped her a few days ago, and she was severely hurt. And yet the fellow who had failed to catch the little one insisted on her re-performing the terrible feat. This proposition was met by loud cries of dissent and hisses, and the child retired. In a few moments she was again introduced, and a second time she essayed the leap, but failed on account of weakness. For several moments she swayed to and fro over the heads of the audience, and was at length rescued by several gentle- men. Of course the people all cried " Shame 1" An audience always is very virtuous when an accident takes place through a performance sanctioned by its own brute► taste. CORRUPTION IN THE ITALIAN LECISLATIMr. It is probable that the commission now inquiring into the alleged corruption of certain members of the Italian Parliament in the affair of the Tobacco Monopoly will report some serious disclosures. It is a fact that one senator took a bribe of £l,OOO. The Senate is about to form itself into a high court for the purpose of trying this culprit. BUDGET OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEIIS.—A Phar maceutical Congress, to which all civilized nations aro invited to send representatives, is to take place at Vienna in September. —A Sunday school class of Chinese has been organized at the Presbyterian Church in Vallejo, California, and about 20 pupils have already been secured.

The Wisconsin State Board of Immigration reports 2,457 immigrants arrived in the State during the last week in May.—The Japanese have purchased a tract of laud in Eldorado County, California, and express themselves well pleased with it as suited for the culivation of tea and silk. —The steamer Montana sailed from San Francisco, June for Panama with $50 0 , 00 0 in treasure, of which $235,000 is for England, $139,000 for Guatemala, $50,000 for New York, $39,000 for France, $23,000 for Panama, and $12,000 for Punta Arenas.—The New York Tribune contains the following advertisement :—" Feeling a sense of guiltiness, I request all well-disposed persons to pray to God for me. Frank. Newspapers please copy."—S. W. Bowerman, L. Gimwell, and Josiah Carter of Pittsfield, have pur chased the United States hotel property in that town, from Thomas Colt and others, for $50,000.
