The Vienna correspondent of the Liberti gives the sub stance of an important letter, written, it is said, by the King of Prussia to the Emperor of Austria when a fatal issue was expected to the illness of the Emperor of the French. The King, in this letter, says he is firmly con vinced that an indi-...solubleunion of legitimate dynasties is the only means of preserving them. from catastrophes. The necessities of the moment rendered it necessary for them to unite against their common enemy—Anarchy—of which Malice is tho perpetual focus. "I, sire," concludes the King, "come the first to tender you my hand, being confident that you will aid me in establishing a dynastic amity which will enable our two sovereign houses to repel with success all the efforts of the revo lutionary hydra, whose pernicious influence is already making itself felt in our own States. riribus unitis 1' With these words, which form the Austrian device, the royal letter terminates. Tho correspondent of the Libcrte states positively that such a letter was sent, though its existence was unknown to Count von Beust and Baron von Werther. The terms of tho reply are not yet known, but they aro said to bo friendly, though reserved. The influence of Count Andrassy at tho Austrian Court is diminishing. The Hungarian Minister is strongly opposed to a Prussian alliance. Prussia has constructed large military magazines at Wertheim, the northernmost point of the Duchy of Baden, on the plea of protecting the ducal territory from French invasion. The Baden Government approves this step, and the Cabinet of Vienna gives it a tacit sanction. What is the French Government thinking of ? is the ques tion asked.

Y._ Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 Un ch ellen geable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 Fame 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 pmpor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to bo pail 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 ng 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 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 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 Ire 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 ot new business of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. GUARDIAN FIRE AND LIFE OFFICE.

THE CANADIAN PRESS ONAMERICAN ENTERPRISE. —While we, says the Montreal Pays, are disputing, the Americans are marching in advance ; we speak ; they act. The talking belongs to us ; the execution to them. While the future Governor of the North-West has scarcely finished a tour over the nearest limits of his domain ; while the character, the length, and selection of a route in that territory is discussed in the press and the Ministry, the United States are already at work, and are now finishing the first section of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The. Toronto Leader says on the subject :—The Americans thus monopolize the North-West, and secure its commerce by constructing a railroad while we make a carriage -road, which, when finished, if ever it will be, will be as useful as if it were down 40 feet in the middle of Lake Superior.

Tho bill to suspend the guarantee of personal liberty has been carried in the Cortes, after a stormy opposition from the Republicans. Some important speeches were made in the course of the debate by the chief Republican deputies Senor Castelar declared that the moment was a significant one, and that perhaps the last hour of liberty had arrived. The project befol o the Chamber was ono that aimed at dictatorship, and tho Cortes had no right to give up indivi dual rights to the mercy of the Government. Senor Orense declared against the report of the commission, and against the bill. He was called to order several times by the President. Senor Mados defended tho Commissioner, and said that the schemes of tho revolutionists were encouraged by the Carlists and Isabellistes. The Volunteers have declared in favour or ine Govern ment, and a battalion has started for active service in the provinces. Tho insurrection is extending in the provinces of Catalonia, Arragon, Murcia, Valencia, and Andalusia. The Government declares that the troops are gaining in all directions. The insurgents commit all sorts of ravages during the progress of their flight and make constant attacks on the telegraph lines and the railways. It is reported that General Baldrich has defeated the insurgents at Reus and made many prisoners. The candidature of the Duke of Genoa to the throne of Spain is likely to meot with serious obstacles, not only among the Spanish nation, but in his own family. Bing Victor Emmanuel fears, it is said, to become mixed up in a policy of intervention. The Journal de Path has hinted that the project for placing the Italian prince on the throne of Spain emanated from St. Cloud. GETZ3IA.N UNITY. The second Palen Chamber has voted the address to the speech of the Grand Duke with only four dissentients. This docUment is a very significant one, and declares that the transformation of Germany can be accomplished only by the union of the Southern Stqtes with the Northcrn Confederation. The Assembly added that it awaited with confidence the approach of the time when this union could be effected. Such a union it was assorted could not possibly disturb tho maintenance of peace because it would prejudice no one, and only the most violent, politicians could find in it a pretext for attack. THE CROWN . PRINCE OF PRUSSIA AT VIENNA. The visit of the Crown Prince to Vienna has given rise to great excitement, and is looked upon as a pledge of the friendly understanding that prevails between the Courts of Austria and Prussia. Nothing has been neglected by the Court of Vienna that could do honour to the Prince, and his reception will be a most brilliant one. On the frontier he will be met by a numerous staff, which will wait on him during his visit, and in all towns through which he passes he will be saluted by the civil and military authorities. The Viennese will feel some surprise at the spectacle of the young conqueror of Chlum exchanging eourtcsies with the Emperor, This visit of the Crown Prince is regarded as :significant of a change of policy in Prussia, and Vienna and Berlin meet on a common ground, for both sides are alarmed at the state of affairs in France, and are anxious to combine their resources in case of any outbreak. General Manteuff el is the pioneer of this policy, not Count Bismarck. ITALY News from Florence states that the differences which long existed between Signor Ratazzi and tho Ministry assume every day more importance. A Ratazzi Cabinet is expected by all parties. THE SULTAN AND THE VICEROY. According to the Levant Times, the Egyptian question is still in suspense. The Viceroy has not answered the Grand Vizier's last letter, and makes no sign of further concession. The representatives of the great Powers have, it is well known, given their opinion that the Sultan's amour propre has been sufficiently satis fied. The Levant Times thinks the affair will terminate by the Viceroy's coming to render homage to his suzerain without a written reply being required. An influential Turkish functionary, who has taken an active part in the matter, has tendered his resignation which has not been accepted, though it appears probable that the Cabinet of Constantinople will be remodelled as soon as tho Egyptian question is definitely settled. THE NEW BISHOP OF EXETER. The announcement first made in the Guardian— that Dr. Temple would be recommended for the see of Exeter—is corroborated by the Times who is " assured, on whitt wafts to be good, though not official authority, that the bishopric has been offered to and accepted by Dr. Temple." The bishop designate is the son of an officer in the army, and was born in November 1821. Ho was educated at the Tiverton Grammar School, and, proceeding to Oxford, took his degree of B.A. in 1842 as a double first-class. In 1858 he was appointed Head Master of Rugby School, on the resignation of Dr. Goulburn. Dr. Temple is also a chaplain to the Queen, and he gained considerable notoriety in 1860 as the author of the first of the seven " Essays and Reviews." In politics he is a Broad Churchman and a Liberal. EAST CHESHIRE ELECTION. The nomination of candidates at Macclesfield turned out to be a lively affair. Immediately the Liberal candidate, Sir Edward Watkin, rose to address the crowd, a stand-up fight took place for the possession of a party emblem, and it was some time before order was restored. Sir Edward declared that whatever should be the result of the present contest, the Liberal party would fight until they gained their fair share in the representation of Cheshire. Major Legh had stated that his tenants could vote as they please—a remark which Sir Edward challenged. He called upon the gallant major to issue a letter pledg ing his honour that no harm should come to those_ of his tenants who voted on the Liberal aide. During Mr. Brooks' speech the noise and interruptions were so great that he could not be heard beyond the imme diate vicinity of the hustings. The show of hands was declared to be largely in favour of the Liberal candidate. As a rule, the show of hands is a mere farce; but this cannot be said in the present instance. Great pains have been taken by the"Revivers" to show that the trade of Macclesfield has been ruined by the French Treaty ; yet we find that in this very town—to which the Liberals have ostensibly contributed so much disaster —the Liberal candidate obtains a majority of three to one in his favour. No stronger argument could be furnished to shew the untenable ground now ocou. pied by these illusionists. MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCIJE ON BDUCAtION. The Chief Secretary for Ireland has been making a few remarks at Dundalk on the subject of educa tion. Ho compared the denominational with the mixed system, and contended that in the great field of Irish education there was room for both forms. He feared that much of the real value of education was lost sight *of in these discussions upon systems. Some very excellent people, he believed, wore quite as fanatical in their advocacy of secular or mixed as those who favoured the denominational system. Let care, he said, bo taken that there is a sound, bond fide education ; but let them not come up to the shibboleth of any party. Many of the advocates of denominationalism in their zeal acted against educa tion itself. 3m. PATTON'S CONNECTION WITH BRIDGWATER. An important witness has been examined at Bridg water—a Mr. Pitman, of Edinburgh. He was an intimate friend of the late Lord Justice Clerk, who informed witness a short time before his death that V,OOO had been spent on the two elections, at which Mr. Patton expressed himself as much annoyed. Mr. Pitman saw Mr. Patton on the 30th of August, and the latter then stated that until he had read the evi dence given before the Commission he had no idea there had been direct bribery. It annoyed him very much, and seemed to break him down. At the second election he expected a walk over, and was surprised when Mr. Vanderbyl came forward. According to Mr. Pitman, the Lord Justice Clerk had no assistance from any club ; the money was entirely his own.
