Tho two men, Lake and Bird, charged wits being con cerned in the personation of John Campbell, a soldier in the Indian army, to obtain £75 prize-money due to him from the India Office, on account of three engagements at Banda Kirwee, were brought up on Friday on remand at Bow-street. Sergeant Anthony Flood, of the 108th Regi ment of Foot, proved gibin g out to India with Campbell in the ship Salamander and returning to England with him in 1858. He (witness) received a portion of the prize - money duo to him for a previous engagement, but Campbell's was not then duo. Lake also went out to India. Witness knew him, but did not know Bird. He had not seen nor heard of Campbell since. The defence of Lake was that ho saw Campbell at Liverpool, ,and bought the right to his money for £3O. This, however, would have bcon illegal, the system of " Jewing " prize-money having been long done away with by Act of Parliament.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. 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 Unchallengeable. 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 came time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when oven a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pi eminm 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ng either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording tl 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 bo 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. Tho longest Lterm provided - for is 1v0..., 41-4,,rears, and the shortest lire - years, ...hewn by the Tables. Thus, b....k er .. credi ' tors, and others holding policies of thi-' class as security - , r 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 unforfoitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo 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. HENRY lIARBEN, Secretary. [ U ARDIAN FIRE AND LIFE OFFICE.

We learn from Triibner's Record that the health of Mr. Charles G. Leland having been nearly restored by the use of the Spa Waters, a new instalment of the Breit mann Ballads may be very soon expected. The principal poem in it will be entitled Hans Breitmann in Churcb," based on fact in all its incidents. Competent judges, Ame rican as well as English, who 'have seen the manuscript, declare it to be as good, if not better, than anything which has ever come from Mr. Leland's pen. The success of the Breittmann ballads continues unabated in England as well as in America. Mr. Robert Craig, an ex cellent actor, has been giving readings from them in diffe rent places of the United States. Indeed the main cause of the popularity of these ballads must be sought for in their truthfulness to nature. This bas been conceded over and over again by the leading critics on both continents. In the United States, Lowell and Holmes have expressed their cordial approval of the ballads, and are among their most enthusiastic readers.

Norman, 30 years of age, who is well connected in Bir mingham, was charged with the embezzlement of large sums of money belonging to Messrs. Keller and Son, dealeri in precious stones, Northampton-street, Birming ham. The total amount of Norman's defalcations exceeds £2,000. Prisoner had been employed as manager and tra veller to the prosecutors for some years, and had systema tically defrauded them. He absconded six weeks ago, and was in concealment. Detective Seal traced him by the aid of photographs to Kibworth, in Leicestershire, where he was apprehended on Friday. The case was re manded. THE GRAIN TRADE. The Magnet states that the grain trade during the past week has been devoid of any feature of special interest. Heaviness recentlynoticed has continued unalleviated, and the quotitions have been further depressed, although not to any serious extent. The - weather lately has been more favourable for thrashing operations; nevertheless, the quality of produce forwarded to market has been limited. Farmers do not appear at all inclined to force their wheat on the market ; whilst millers, on the other hand, are far from anxious to purchase more than is neces. nary for the supply of current wants—hence the pre vailing stagnation and consequent depression. The quality of the produce has been generally good, and some low and damp samples have come to hand. The course of the trade during the past week does not lead us to deviate from our previously-expressed opinion that the decline is purely temporary, and that a reaction will shortly ensue, and that a gradual recovery will take place, although at the same time no rapid advance is looked for, THE LATE RUMOURS CONCERNING DI?. LIVINGSTONE. The following later Lulu s3li appeared in the Times of yesterday:—" Although extremely throw any doubt upon the news recently as to the arrival of. Dr. Livingstone on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, I must inform your readers that this is only one of the many rumours regarding the great traveller which has from time to time been brought to Zanzibar. On my arrival in London I received two letters, ono through the Admiralty, by Commodore Heath, of the East African station, and the other from Dr. Kirk, the British political agent at Zanzibar, both dated the 31st of August, and both stating that an Arab had arrived that same day with a letter from his brother, the Governor of Unyany embe, in which it was stated that a servant of the Governor had seen" the white man" at Ujiji, on the Lake Tanganyika. Now, according to Dr. Kirk's estimate, four months must have elapsed since the man who brought the informa tion left Ujiji. If this news should be correct it would certify that the illustrious traveller was in safety at the end of last April. But so long as no direct news from DrA Livingstone himself has been received, it will naturally bo surmised that this last report may have no better founda tion than the numerous preceding rumours. It is, how ever, gratifying to state that if the news rests upon a true foundation our suspense will soon be relieved, for the same letter informs me that a caravan from Ujiji was expected to reach Zanzibar in a month." It is stated that as soon as Mr. Kinglake, who was in the Crimea, heard of the revelations at the Bridgwater Commission he started for home at once. 11fr. J. A. Blake, 111. P., having accepted a Fishery Commissionership, has retired from the representation of Waterford, and addresses have been issued to the constitu ency by Sir H. W. Barron and Mr. S. F. Grubb. Father Ilyacinthe has left for the United States; he is expecod to return to Europe in two months, about the time when the CEcumenical Council will meet in Rome. 110 was accompanied to Brest by his si,ters and a priest of the Parisian diocese. Mr. Moncreiff has publicly intimated to the gene ral councils of the universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen his arpointment as Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland. The contest for the vacant seat will be between Mr. Gordon, Q.C., the Conservative candidate, and Mr. Smith, of Jordan hill, who unites the Liberal electors. It is said that there is a probability of an early vacancy taking place in the county of Berwick. It is under stood that Mr. Robertson of Ladykirk will be raised to the peerage, in which case he will necessarily vacate his seat. It is also reported that Lord William Hay will, in that event, contest the county in the Liberal interest.. The name of an opponent on the Conservative side of politics is also spoken of. Tho Liberti states that a rumour is current within the last day or two ago in political circles that the Emperor Napoleon proposes to summon the Chambers for the Bth or possibly the 4th of November. his Majesty, it is said, is influenced by the unfavourable impression produced on even moderate men by the date of the 29th, and has followed the advice of M. Rouher, who has been several times summoued to St. Cloud. But as the Emperor cannot follow this course without disavowing the action of his Ministers he will form a new Cabinet, whose first act will be to convoke the popular representatives without delay. Shortly after four o'clock on Saturday morning it was discovered theta fire had broken out in the Yard Mine of the Walthowllouse Colliery, the property of Messrs. W. Brancker and Co., and situated in the township of Orroll, a short distance from Wigan. Fortunaely the colliers had not descended the pits to begin their daily work, so no Joss of human life has to be recorded, but there is little doubt that 14 horses and asses must ore this have been suffocated by tho smoke from the burning coal. The local arrangements for the reception of the Prince and Princess of Wales on their expected visit to Chester are now complete. Among others whose ar rival is expected are they Earl and Counters Grosvenor (who will be the hosts of the Rvyul party), Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P., Lord Napier of Magdala, Mr. Glachteno and Mrs. Gladstone, and Miss Gladstone. The opening of the now Guildhall will take place on Friday, and dejeuner will afterwards take place, at which the Prince will be present. The mayor gives this entertainment, and also a ball which is to follow. Dr. Vaughan, while positively declining any per• sons] gift from his parishioners on his departure from Don caster, asked one favour of the Mayor and Town Conn cil, which he said he should value above any other recognition of his services. This was the authoritative clos ing of the Saturday market at a somewhat earlier hour of the night. It does not appear that this request has been corn :)lied with. Dr. Vaughan also asked from the town council is small sum of money in aid of the education of a promising scholar in the Doncaster Grammar School, who has been elected to an open soholarabip in Wellington 0911ege, but
