He was very feeble during his visit to ChMons and Beauvais, and the Paris correspondent of the IndEpendance Beige says that on Sunday last, after a dejeaner at Mouchy-le-Chltel, he fainted away. He was unable to walk from the château to the railway station— s very short distance—and had to be assisted into a car riage by two persons.

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 be settled. 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 Patrie, which is very positive on this point, says that the advice of the British Government is likely- to he followed. In fact, the Patric 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 demands of France in no way infringe the independence of Belgium, and they accordingly recommend the settle ment of the question in acconlance 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 Eng7and was about to send a squadron to the mouth of the Scheldt. But the Patrie 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. HOLBORN R OYAL MUSIC HALL, Proprietor—Mr. J. S. Swe-sey.

NEW COLONIAL POLICY. The Canadian Government has been informed by a despatch from Earl Granville that the home authorities are quite willing to assist the colony in the 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Granville adds that all the Imperial troops not needed for the military stations on the peace establishment will be withdrawn.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 mast 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 affpre 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. IVER.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preso.'re teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. WEST INDIES AND MEXICO.

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 New 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 Attorney-General Hoar and Secretary Boutwell are pronouncedly on the other side.

London, Eio. September 1866. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, 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 uufrequently 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 Unchellengeable. 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 novi,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 fixA 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 eompany 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 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 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 cites as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maiutain 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, as a consequence of the policies under these tables belly:, unforfeitaMe and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengerible on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an theome of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new burin-as of nov office in the Kingdom.

THE INSURRECTION IN CtBA. 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 over certain that the insurgents won the engage• Irent—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 purpcse of agitating the annexation question. THE LATE MR. RATLIO/M. The death of Mr. Raymond, the founder and editor of the Ncw York 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 wh..n the rowdyism, which is yet by no means uxCnet, was the chief characteristic of the United States Press, Mr. Raymond set an example in moderation and impartiality which has bad 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 Amer:can journalism in general. So far from committing himself hastily to extravagant opinions, Mr. Raymond was rather 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; I hardly think yourposition 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 evert give suggestions to the Times' editorial writers, but to leave each to write what he thought fit, and the article done and handed to him be would insert it or not as he thought proper." In short, he made the Press of New York respectable, and even those of its rep7esentatives 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 May=or, and brought forward as the " friend of the whole world." Mr. Peabody, in response to tumultuous cheering, said th a t hi s l ove for the Old World cou ld 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 the 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 !" An audience always is very virtuous when an accident takes place through a performance san:tioned by its own brute taste. CORRUPTION IN THE ITALIAN LEGISLATITEr. 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.
