ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. 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 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 Besides this hnportaut advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 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 of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable 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.

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 ls. 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 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 less than those of last Tear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

Poultry' London, E.C. September, 1868. "A Canadian" writes a tolerably exhaustive letter to the Daily News on the dispute between Canada and the Hudson's Bay Company. The Canadian Government have not proposed to buy the land bemuse the company has no power to sell it, and because, in the second place, it is of no commercial value if the company had full power. The monopoly of the company was granted by a charter of Charles 11., which con. stituted Rupert's Land into a British colony, and made the company the governors of the colony, giving them "full general powers of government, and of civil and criminal jurisdiction." But this does not give these " governors " the right to sell the territory, nor has any company or governor such a right over aßritish colony. The Canadians hold that the governors of the colony of Rupert's Land have duties and obligations as well as rights ; that these rights are not separable from the duties, and that they must either govern or abdicate. The representatives of the company admit that they cannot govern the country for want of necessary powers. "A state of things has grown up not contemplated by their charter, and if they will neither eat the hay nor allow others to eat it, they must be treated as their elder brother, the Virginia Company, was treated in an age when proprietary governments were better understood than now." The commissioners reported in favour of can celling the charter of this company, which was done. The Virginia Company had spent much and gained little, but it does not appear that they received any indemnity. The Hudson's Bay Company will retain their stations. But beyond this, if the company had power to sell, their territory is of no value. The prime advantage of a new colony is that the land should he had for nothing, or next to nothing. Every pound taken from the colonist for the purchase of land diminishes the value of the territory. It is monstrous that when millions of acres are lying uncultivated, and thousands of paupers starving in England, a few dozen traders should be permitted to keep a country as large as France, Prussia and Great Britain locked up by an antiquated charter. If the territory is to be valuable it must be free. The Canadian Government is prepared to make roads and canals and give a free homestead to every one who will go there. But these settlements cannot be given away if the Canadian people have first to pay for them. TFIE UNITED STATES. Congress is getting through some very important legisla• tion. General Schenck's Finance Bill has passed the House of Representatives by 119 to 61.- It provides that the public debt is payable in gold, unless otherwise speci fied, but postpones the payment until the value of green backs equals gold. We are curious to receive the debate on this measure, and especially to learn how Congress hoped to equalise these two values, and at what date it expected the resumption of specie payments, which alone can bring about this devoutly-to-be-wished consummation. The wretched bill which increases the duty on copper 300 per cent. for the benefit of one small district, has been passed in the Senate over the President's veto, and is now law. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The latest intelligence from Buenos Ayres states that Lopez is believed to be concentrating fresh forces in the interior. It is asserted that the United States is not disposed to allow Paraguay to fall wholly into the hands of the Brazilians, and in support of this view it is certain that the American Minister has accompanied Lopez in his retreat. Marshal Caxias has given up the command of the allied army in consequence of dissensions between the Brazilians and the Argentines. DISPUTE BETWEEN TURKEY AND PERSIA. A special telegram on Wednesday informed us that the quarrel between Turkey and Persia would be held iu abeyance until a Persian envoy arrived at Constantinople. This points to a possible diplomatic settlement, and is decidedly good news. The Russian journals, we now learn, are devoting much attention to this Persian ques tion. The Colo, which does not conceal its vexation at the part which the Russian Government took in the Paris Conference, of course supports Persia, and so do the other papers. Beyond doubt Russia would be glad of a disturbance in this quarter, and a pretext for inter. ference. A part of what was once Persia is now Russian territory, and if at any time the rest should be annexed, the Muscovite Empire will have absorbed the whole of Eastern Asia to the borders of our Indian Empire. Should a Russian force be sent to lend moral or material support to the Shah, who is now a vassal to the Czar, there is not the least hope that it would ever leave the country. SPAIN. The Journal des Mats says that Dom Fernando has not accepted the first overtures respecting the crown of Spain. If it were offered by the Cortes, instead of by a political party, his scruples would be overcome. But the chief Fernando supporters hesitate to bring the candida. tore of the Portuguese Prince before the National As sembly in this manner. The Cortes would probably have none of a candidate whose acceptance was not a matter of certainty. Negotiations to overcome this difficulty are now in progress. TILE LAST OF TILE CRETAN INSURRECTION. It is satisfactory to learn from the Liberte that the Porte has given orders that all Cretan refugees who return to the island are to be treated with the greatest humanity by the Ottoman officials. Turkish vessels have been got ready to transport them, and the Sultan has sent a con siderable sum to relieve the most pressing necessities of the women and children. All the property which for merly belonged to the refugees is to be restored, and measures are being taken to provide homes for those whose dwellings have been destroyed. A general amnesty is to be proclaimed. All legal proceedings against the insur gents are to be stayed. The conduct of the Turkish Government since the despatch of the ultimatum to Greece has been irreproachable. ITALY. The grist tax disturbances have partially revived. In valley near Bologna a riot arose which ended in five peasants being killed and seven wounded. This will again bring up the question in the Chamber of Deputies. One of the Left is about to propose that the poor be relieved of the tax, and that for this purpose the local authori ties have power to distribute tickets which shall exempt a certain yearly weight of flour from taxation. The tickets will be given only to the poor. The proposal seems very politic, and though it will lose the Treasury some £120,000 a year, it may remedy the worst effects of a grievous impost. AUSTRIA. The explosion of the powder magazine on board the Aus trian frigate Radetzky is one of the most calamitous maritime disasters on record. A fire broke out in the charcoal store, and was not discovered until it was too late to pre vent its reaching the powder. Three hundred and forty two lives were lost, including all the officers except one midshipman. Only twenty-three persons were saved, and of these five were Fevarely injured. So far as can be ascer tained, the catastrophe was entirely the result of an accident. The Radetzky, which was a magnificent vessel, was built in England by means of subscriptions raised in Austria in honour of the marshal whose name it bore. that one of the i THE YOUNG ACHILLES OF THE PRESS. — to N th o e t very readily, we should suppose, will it popular remembrance how it came to pass l to be, one of the very ablest, of our leaped at evening papers, _ adiag, as youngest, and as it has ever since then shown tse f once, as by a "single bound," into celebrity.
