BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN CV FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issuE-d by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. 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 A.surances 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 Assuran ce w ill 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 plemium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be witbrit4 any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or of lor usual limitations. By this freedom from restt . .ctions of all kinds the objections More 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 elms 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 aro held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under th ese t a bl es being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallongeable 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 now busines •of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868: 1: The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which .C. 307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 por Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was .£100,813, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund. was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following aro among the distinctive features of tho Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred:t. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may bo assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTCLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London. S.W.

The directors draw special attention to the fact flirt 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 atten ion to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, nr.der the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire 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.

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 chided, 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 A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount nea rly £19,0 00. 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 year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges Incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5.1 per cont. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DE. LIABILITIES.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

Mr. Senatok Chandler will by 'this time have had an opportunity of learning what the Canadians think of annexation to the United States. The Hon. P. Galt gave notice in the Canadian Parliament on the 22nd of April that on the last day of the month he would call for the production of the papers relating to the cost of defending the frontier against the Feuians, as constituting a claim for indemnity upon the United States. The Fenian raids were organised in the United States, and therefore, says Mr. Galt, the Washington Government ought to pay the cost involved by them. As a matter of Course, some of the New York papers have gone frantic over this motion; but the indemnity claim is only "bogus." Mr. Galt intends the motion only as a means of eliciting the opinion of the Canadian House of Com mons on Mr. Chandler's late speech in the United States Senate touching the cession of Canada as a discharge in full of the Alabama bill. But the New York papers may well dislike this discussion, for they will probably have learned ere this that Canada's sympathies are on the side of England.. AMERICA AND CUBA. The bearing of a telegram recently sent by the Phila delphia correspondent of the Times is very much modiSed by a letter from the same writer. The telegram informed us that the insurrection was declining, and that the American Government would do nothing to help it. The letter states that though General Grant's Ministry would not recognise the Cuban insurgents its moral support is fully accorded to them. The Spanish .Minister at Washington recently visited the Secretary of State, and asked him to procure the issuing of a proclamation by the President forbidding the fitting• out of expeditions in the United States in aid of the insurgents. This the Secre tary, much to the surprise of the Spanish Minister, who had understood him to be opposed to the insurgent; declined to do. Kr. Fish urged that it would never do for a country like the United States to denounce as adven. tuners and robbers men who might voluntarily go to aid a people struggling for their independence. The Spanish Minister formally repeated his request in writing, but he met with the same response. The Times correspondent 'thinks the American Government is disposed to give the rebels every possible encouragement. JONDON FEVER HOSPITAL is the only institution in the Metropolis for the treatment and prevention of contagious fevers. CONTRIBUTIONS will be gratefully received by Messrs.

FREE TRADE V. PROTECTION.. The hopes of the American Free-traders etre rising. It -is noticeable that New England, which was once the great centre of Protection, is now at least tolerant of adverse opinions. A great meeting was bold at Boston on the 20th of April for the purpose of , organising a " Reform League," to agitate for a financial revolution on the principles of Free Trade. Such men as Mr. W. Lloyd Garrison, J. Quincy Adams, and many others of mark, are members of the "League." Besides Mr. Gar rison, several other New England anti-slavery agitators have joined the cause of Free Trade. The perseverance and energy of these men are not to be despised. " The con test will probably grow until it becomes one of the chief political strifes of the country." THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE CRETAN INSURGENTS. Some of the leaders of the Cretan insurrection—not those who surrendered on the faith of an amnesty —were tried by the Turkish tribunals and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. Whilst the Prince and the Princess of \Vales were at Constantinople sonic of these prisoners managed to send a petition to the Princess, imploring her to intercede with the Sultan on their behalf. The Princess, of course, referred the matter to her husband, who prudently declined to interfere ; but the circumstance got to • the ear of the Grand Vizier, who at once gratified the wish of the Princess by pardoning the offenders. They were released on Wednesday. There is no reason to doubt that the Porte was justified in punish ing these men, and their release is another instance of that exquisite courtesy with which the Sultan has treated his royal visitors. Perhaps if the Sultan visits England again our magnates may condescend to learn by his example. RUSSIA AND TURKEL According to the Memorial Diplomatique, Russia has met with a rebuke from the other European Powers. It will be remembered that the St. Petersburg Government recently addressed a memorandum to the various Cabinets, asking for their co-operation in insisting upon a modification of the very strict naturalisation law decreed by the Porte. It was stated a short time ago that the Turkish Government was disposed voluntarily to modify this decree. Whether this be the case or not, the Powers have one and all refused to interfere, says the Memorial Diplomatique, and Russia has withdrawn her request, which may be regarded as null and void. The object of the Turkish law mhich has given offence to the Czar's Government was to prevent the wholesale naturalisation of Turkish subjects in Russia and Greece. TEE ANGLO•GERMAN POSTAL TREATY. The explanation given by the Indipendance Beige of the "hitch" in the negotiations between England an; Germany relative to a reduced postal tariff seems to be correct after all. In the North German Th:rliament, on Tuesday, the Postmaster• General said that the difference of opinion between the contracting parties was not regard ing the rate of postage for letters, but concerned the in• demnity to be paid the South German Post-off:ct- author!. ties for sealed rackets exchanged, or which may hereafter be exchanged, between England and the German State 2. This version of the Postmaster-General's statement, which is given in the North German Correspondent, differs materially from the telegraphic account. It is believei that this small difficulty will soon be overcome.
