Motley has been instructed to reopen negotiations with the English Government on the basis of Mr. Sumner's speech. " Neither the President nor Secretary Fish, in their in. structions, have deemed it necessary to make any reference to that speech whatsoever. On the contrary, if all the facts were known, it might possibly appear that, so far from Mr. Sumner's sentiments being in accordance with the views of the Administration, they have been to it the occasion of much annoyance and embarrassment." It is curious to observe the eagerness with which the American papers hasten to throw over this unfortunate speech. THE SUN, LONDON, '1 Uti SDAY EVENING, Ji. NE 1, 1869.

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.

E.O: . Established 1848. The bireetors 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 A s surances 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 esp.- :daily 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 E a:110 time it absolutely guarantees at dec?, , tse, 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 minms 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 Avitlidrawina.a certain amount, ac cording t • the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, awl rendering unnecessary any future reference to the eompany on theSe•ioints, as is the • case with ordinary assurances. -•. Creditors assuring the lives -of-.debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly proteetive of their interests, and it will likew 7 se commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who arc in th - e habit of making advauce.s collaterally secured by,LllVrolicies, as they can at any-time learn, by more inspection, tte.exact:Salne, either immediate or re-: Vorsioatry, of a Policy of this deserilition. Every Policy issued on this - plan Will be withou i t 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 cliss as security, I may always know the utmost amount they may be called I upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assu-n• - :-es a matter of great importance whore pol:cies are held as collateral security. 1 It ts only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the Folk:les under these ialdes being ituforfeitahle and :mean ditional, they will also lie eneh.l;eng,able on any ground f-lethatev, r. The -r ,say therefore be aptly termed Absolute Scenrit, The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of s.>•l', one __ a year Its position is up• . questionable, and it obtains the largest :amount of new busineas of any office in the Kingdom.

The Paris official papers have denied a report to the effect that an arrangement or treaty had been concluded between Italy and France for the evacuation of Rome. No such denial was needed. It is not expected that the two Governments would go through the process of signing and sealing in such a business as this ; hut though no treaty has been signed, our Ilome correspondent informs ilk that au understanding has been arrived at, and this is the opinion of the Temps and other well-informed journals. The Moniteur is positive that the evacuation will take place in September, and that the Papal Government has been informed of this resolution. GERMAN UNITY. The party in Bavaria favourable to the union of 411 Germany in one Confederation have carried 58 seats out of 150 at the late general election. German unity has, therefore, been rejected in Bavaria. The Unionists have just published a manifesto, containing a formal declaration in favour of a single Parliament, of a common legislation for all Germany, of an extension of the powers of the Customs' Parliament, and of theunion between North and South Germany. " Not,' says the signers, "to Prus sianise' but to ' Germanise' the latter."_ In order to attain that object, the manifesto proclaims the necessity of maintaining peace. The strong anti-Unionist party have elected about SO deputies. The remaining seats have been carried by politicians of various sbadet.-....

France is forbidden ground to Mazzini. He is under numerous sentences from the French courts, the execution of which is in abeyance simply because the police have been unable to arrest him. It is asserted, however, that _he passed through Paris a day or two ago, sat down and smoked a cigar in front of one of the cafes on the Boulevards, and, as ho was setting his foot on board the steam at Boulogne to go to England, put into the bands of a messenger a telegraphic despatch to the Prefect of POlice, to inform him that he had just passed unperceived thraUgh the country where he is so much " wanted." The Gautois gives this romantic story ; but it is just to say that Mazzini has donel4b, things before: " THE MISERIES OF_FO/tEIGN BONDHOLDERS. The recent eagerness to invest-money in foreign securi ties is likely to be followed by a panic. Several Govern ments who have obtained good round sums in cash from English capitalists have repudiated their obligations alto gether ; others have temporarily suspended the payment of interest on debt; others have heavily taxed their bonds; and some, for example Russia, are borrowing at such rate that a catastrophe may be confidently looked for. Austria has recently passed a law ordaining the compul sory conversion of thc national debt into bonds of a uniform character ; that is, money which was borrowed at a high rate-of interest shall be reduced to a denomination paying but a low rate. The foreign holders have vainly appealed fill- exemption from this measure. - Lord Clarendon has informed tli6 Committee of Foieign Bonditolaers that the Austrian -Government have declared Their inability to depart, in favour of foreign holders of .Austrian Bonds, from the law imposing the CoMpulsory conversion of the 4pht, " since it is imperative on the Government to utilise revery source of revenue in order to bring the country th rough te- pecuniary_ einbhriassments." The unfortunate committee have regolved to try farther agitatiOn. VIRGINIA. It is satisfactory to learn that the Southern State of Virginia is rapidly recovering from its troubles. No por tion of the United'States, we are informed, is making better progress. The tobacco crop promists well ; the wheat harvest will be, perhaps, the heaviest and finest ever known. A large proportion of settlers from Europe and the Northern States take up their residence in this fine country. Political violence in Virginia has moderated, and the State is to be admitted within the Union ; though so indifferent are the people to politics just now that few, in the opinion of the A n glo-Atncrican nat.', will trouble to vote. And yet the " Old Dominic " was the chief seat of the late conflict. For more than four years it was un ceasingly devastated by the tide of war. No os_livr part of the "Union suffered so rise of Virginia spews that even the effects of the American civil war may pass away. PItOGILESS IN CHINA. Sir Rutherford Alcock has written another desponding despatch relative to the advance of civilisation in China. Our Ambassador fully admits the importance of railroads and telegraphs in China ; but no efforts made by himself or his brother Ambassador—and they have been both earnest and continuous—have prevailed with the Chinese Government, or succeeded in removing their objections to initiatory steps in any of these direc tions, excepting only coal mines, some of which the Chinese are willing to work themselves with foreign aid. Sir Rutherford adds that it is extremely doubtful whether the right to reside in the interior has been secured to British subjects by the Russian Treaty. In spite of this Chinese repugnance to foreign intervention, the Times of India remarks that a Chinese deputation on the subject of connecting Russia and the Celestial Empire by railway is reported to been route to St. Petersburg. JAPAN. A very unexpected piece of intelligence is given, on the authority of authentic documents, by the Japan Times. Several of the principal daimios, it says, have re signed their rank, independent power, rights as sovereign princes, lands, and men into the hands of the Mikado. with a view to centralise and strengthen the Government of Japan, and to enable their country "to take its place side by side with the other countries of the world." This step, if it has been really taken, will undoubtedly centralise and strengthen the Government. These daimios are exceedingly numerous and powerful. There is at least 150 of them, and they possess incomes ranging from three-quarters of a million sterling per annum to a few thousand pounds. The resources of a few of the chief of these native princes employed in the interests of civilisa tion would revolutionise Japan. INDIA. The Central Asia question has relapsed into its normal state of dulness. The Times of Indict says that, notwithstanding rumours of a Persian invasion of Herat, the whole of Ameer Shere Airs dominions may be said to be peaceful at present. Latest reports represent Turkistan as again united under the Ameer's rule, the sons of Azim Khan having found their father's case hopeless and given up the struggle. For this peaceful aspect of affairs Shere Ali may thank the honour done him on British territory. The visit to ITmballa has been so beneficial to him that he can scarcely fall into forget fulness of us, especially as his recollection of what is due to our interests will be refreshed by the periodical present cf money and arms. Our new possession, the Andaman Islands, is to be used as a convict station. Forty-six prisoners, under the guard of ten sepoys, attempted to escape, but a soldier shot one of them, and has been acquitted of all blame for the deed. The remaining forty-five were shipped without difficulty. The re-marriage of widows is strictly forbidden by the Hiudoo laws of caste and religion. British endeavours to promote reform in this direction have not been very successful. One Hindoo judge has created great amuse ment by advertising, though an old man, his Quixotic desire to marry a Hindoo widow. The Committee appointed by the Southern Ex cursionists, consisting of ex-Governor Ward, Col. Forney, Gen. 'Von Wyck, and Clinton Lloyd, on their return to Waihington, had a long interview with the President, touching the business, educational, and other interest in s an in the Southern States, wh ich they represented to be improving condition. The President expressed satisfac tion with the results of the mission and his belief that it would be productive of good results. Mr. Charles G.
