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 absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; Lie 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 more 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 fore - going statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire 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 great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence cf the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The 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 office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. B.

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 Firo 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.

Patron—Tier Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN. Vice-Pat r on His Royal 'Highness the Prince of WALES, K.(l , _ _ President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCIEtiCII, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent c.or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the de,stiinte sick bas for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. Tho 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.

The crews of the Britannia, 115 (training ship for naval cadets), Capt. John Corbett, and of her tender the Dapper were paid down at Devonport on Tuesday, and were transferred yesterday to their new ship, which was under orders to leave about the 20th for her station at Dartmouth. The Britannia will be broken up. Great despatch is making at Devonport to get the ship belonging to the Channel squadron ready for their autumn cruise under the personal in spection of the First Lord of the Admiralty. The 24th inst. is spoken of there as being the projected date of departure, and Queenstown as the final port, in order to join the ships of war from the Mediterranean. The near approach of that date and the protracted Parliamentary session will pro bably prevent Mr. Childers from commencing his annual visit to the public arsenals until he returns from the Atlantic. It is supposed that the cruise, with :the accompanying experimental evolutions, trials of speed, &c., will occupy at least a month, which might thus terminate on the 24th of Sept. It is likely that the First Lord will then commence the yearly examination at Queenstown, and thus reverse the route usually adopted by the Board. The undocking of her Majesty's ironclad frigate _repulse was successfully accomplished yester day at her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich. The vessel was subsequently taken in tow, and pro ceded down the river. An interesting service took place at Shrewsbury, New Jersey, July 21, in celebration of the 100th anniver sary of laying the corner stone of Christ Church in that town. Bishop Odenheimer officiated, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Otis, rector of the church, and 15 other ministers. The decorations of the graves occupied an hour, after which an address was delivered by the Bishop, and Mr. Otis read the history of tho building and of its congrega- t;on, President Grant and his son arrived at the church at two o'clock, and were present in the tent where lunch was served. The church was first built in 1703, rebuilt in 1748, and the present building erected in 1769. Queen Anne presented the Communion plate, which is still in use, in 1708, and the church received its present name in June, 1736. It still bears the Crown of England on the top of its steeple, and bullet holes can be seen where the American revolutionists fired at it to knock it down. The church is in a prosperous condition, and about 2,500 people visited the spot during the day. Among the visitors were the Rev. Messrs. Otis, Donnott, Murray, Earle, Golds berg, Poole, Dealey, Nevens, Chetterwith, Smith, Stras burg, Briggs, and Putnam, all of New Jersey.
