' 3 5 6 6 ........... 3 6 y :ee,s The difficulties between the Porte and the Khedive have, according to the Levant Herald, assumed very defi nite proportions. That journal publishes an abstract of the note sent by the Grand Vizier to the Viceroy, setting forth the Sultan's grounds of complaint against his too powerful or too-ambitious subject. Starting with the withdrawal of the Egyptian troops from Candia at a critical stage of the revolt, the letter reminded the Viceroy of his unauthorised efforts to negotiate European treaties of commerce, and to obtain the abolition of the capi tulations for Egypt under the pretence of judicial reforms. After alluding to several minor infractions of royal duty, the letter especially refers to the Khddive's latest offence— the invitations given to the sovereigns of Europe as an independent prince, to be published at the opening of the Suez Canal. He is categorically informed that the Porte regards all these actions as infractions of the Firman of 1841, under which he holds his pashalic, and invites him to explain his conduct. Failing such explanation, the Porte will consider itself free to act as the settlement of 1840.41 provides. The letter, which is strongly worded, was despatched to Alexandria on the 3rd, and on the subse quent day it was communicated to the Legations at Con stantinople. The Levant Herald believes that the Viceroy will find it impossible to justify his actions, and holds that his deposition should necessarily follow. It is forced to admit, however, that Oriental politics are usually so much involved that a totally different conclusion to the affair is possible. 11 UTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION 14, RIJSSLL-ST'REET, ( In E corporated by Act of Parliament. 18Z91.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. 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 absolutely Unforfoitable, Unconditional, and Unchallongeable. 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 same time it absolutely guarantees at de:oase, 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 Oompany 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 homed on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freeom 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 he 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 Rronud 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 Imainess of any office iu the Kingdom.

THE CARLISTS. No confirmation has been received of the report that *he Carlist leader, Estartus, had entered Spain by the French frontier. The band which has been seen in Cata lonia does not exceed four hundred men. The bishops have replied favourably to the circular of the Minister concerning the priests who took part in the insurrection. The Gazette announces that the Carlist band near Vichy has been dispersed, without fighting, by General Bald rith. The detachment under the command of Palo has been completely encircled in the mountains of Toledo. The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed circular to the diplomatic representatives of Spain in foreign countries, which explains the position of the revolution, and the progress that bas been made. The Cortes Constituentes were convoked, he says, in order that all important questions might be left to the supreme decision of the people. Although universal suffrage was exercised for the first time, the public peace was not dia. turbed, and the Spanish people thus proved their enlighten ment and prudence to the other nations of Europe. The general state of calmness has been happily pre served, although there have been intervals during which the Government had to resort to force to repress the movements of fanatics who created disturbances. The Minister pays a tribute to the manner In which the Cortes have discussed the arduous questions put before them, and the moderation they have displayed. The changes that have been made in the policy of Spain have partaken of a democratic character; and her Constitution has become more Liberal than those of many representative monarchies, and even of some States which have adopted a republican form of government. The establishment of religious liberty has introduced a striking change into the political organisation of Spain. For some time past she had given way to fanaticism, and compromised her position with regard to other countries. The situation created by the revolution of September has been completely satisfactory, and confirmed the grand prin ciple of religious liberty. The monarchical form ef Govern ment has found favour with those who have remodelled the Constitution, and in naming a Regent the Cortes desire to establish a Monarchy as soon as possible. The Government expects to put down partisans of a moping legitimacy, and they trust; that peace will be speedily re established in Cuba. They believe that the time has now come to regulate their relations with foreign Powers, and, with this end, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has des. patched this circular. THE WORKMEN'S CONGRESS. The congress of working men at Eisenach is proceeding anything but amicably. Its very first seance was inter rupted by a dispute between the partisans of the two rival leaders, Schweitzer and Bebel. After a good deal of disturb. ante and angry discussion the meeting broke up, and the two factiuns concluded to hold different assemblies hencefor ward. It is not thought likely that under these conditions the congress will attain its end—a grand fusion of all socialistic and democratic parties into one harmonious whole. THE EMPEROR AND THE ARCHDtiKE. A story is told respecting the harshness shewn by the Emperor of Austria towards the Archduke Henry, a member of his family, whose marriage with a beautiful young actress last year greatly offended his imperial relative. The Archduke was exiled, and is now living in Switzerland. His health having failed a return to his native air was ordered, and the Prince applied to the Emperor for permission to visit the Tyrol. Franc's Joseph refused, whereupon the Archduke's physician wrote direct to the E mperor, and received in return his own letter without comment. ATII ENS. The Panhellenist party, which was believed to be disposed of by the Conference of Paris, is again chewing itself at Athens. M. Coumoundouros, a member of a former Ministry, has just made a long speech in favour of an amendment to the address proposed by the Opposi tion. In the course of it Le said that Greece had seen with profound regret the adherence of the King to the protocol of the last Conference, which condemned the sympathy and the help given by the nation to an heroic struggle. The popular representatives, he declarid, being faithful interpreters of the just indignation of the Grecian people, could not do otherwise than censure a Ministry whose policy had reduced the country to the painful necessity of seeing its territory overrun by foreign armies, and its laws out- . raged, while its countrymen were again forced to submit to the yoke. Greece was confident that the great Powers, • having regard to the situation of the Hellenes in the East"! would in future be more favourable to their imprescrip: tible rights. Whether the Chamber will accept or reject this amendment is not yet stated. STATE OF 7RADE. BRADFORD, Thursday.--The languor of many weeks past still characterises the wool trade. Spinners are buying only for immediate use and for assorting purposes, and there is no disposition to buy beyond this or on speculation. Slightly more business is doing in bright-haired and other good wools, and prices are pretty firmly main tained. An improvement before long is expected by staplers, and dealers in the country hold out with great firmness for such lots as they have still at baud. Spinners, on the other hand, have the impression that prices will be lower, and are moreover pretty well supplied with wool, and con sequently stand aloof and make no purchases except under absolute necessity. Quotations are generally firmly held, although the tendency is easier, espe cially in the lower sorts of wool. The easy range of prices enables staplers to hold more readily than they were able to do when the range of prices was higher than at present. There is still great depres sion in the yarn trade, and the sale by tender to-day of the stock of an insolvent holder of single yarns tends to increase the languor and indisposition to operate. The business doing in this description of yarns is very small, and prices have a drooping tendency. There is a steady demand for twofold yarns, but the prospect of the production being greater than the demand tends to depress prices. There is a steady business doing in genappe yarns, and prices are pretty firmly maintained. Con tinental merchants make offers, but they still fall below spinners' ,quotations. The home de mand is very healthy, and prices are well main tained. The general tendency of prices is easier. The transactions in pieces are very meagre, though there is a very hopeful feeling prevail ing. The time, being " between seasons," is un favourable to business. Some slight business has been done on home account. Continental merchants have also placed some new orders. There is rather more activity for America, though the operations are very restricted. The demand for the East is small. Manufacturers are pretty well employed on orders received some time ago. Owing to the firmness in cotton, prices aro generally well maintained. When a man believes anything absolutely, it is always pleasant to seo hitn make an ocular demonstration of his faith. At Algona, lowa, ono Mrs. Ingham was appointed to deliver the oration last Independence Day. So she carried her infant and her husband into the assembly of the people, and while she occupied the platform Mr. Ingham meekly held the baby ! Probably arrangements were made which prevented the child from yearning for the '6 maternal fount," or per haps, as Mr. Chick observes, in " Dombey and Son," " something temporary was done with a tea-pot." Mr. Ingham is said to have been "very proud of his wife's success" on the occasion. We think ho had more reason to be proud of his own, fur it was an essay in a Larder field.—New York Tribune.
