The Spanish revolutionary party has narrowty escaped a collapse. The Spanish Ministry is divided on the ques tion of Free Trade, and it was this division that led to the recent quarrel between Prim and Figuerola, the Minister of Finance. During a recent debate in the Cortes General Prim spoke very strongly in favour of Protection, whilst Figuerola, with the most pri mitive disregard of that unity supposed to be an essential element in the conduct of a Ministry, made a speech in favour of progressively reforming the tariff in the direction of Free Trade. At one point in his address he spoke of a Catalonian Protectionist who had sent him a document in favour of high duties as a "miserable fellow." Priin thereupon got up and vehemently contradicted the the Finance Minister, declaring that the Catalonian was not a " miserable fellow." High words passed, and a scene of great excitement followed. However, the temper of the new Spanish Parliament is decidedly in favour of Free Trade, for this stormy sitting was wound up by an anti-Protectionist vote of 130: to 30. Prim, as the chief of the Ministry, looked upon this as a vote of censure, and resigned, the whole of the Ministry following him. For some hours a vehement agitation reigned at Madrid. It was thought that the unity of the revolutionary party was at an end. The wildest rumours respecting the return of Queen Isabella, the arrival of the Duke of Montpensier, and the entry of Don Carlos into the field, were circulated in the capital. But, though the deputies had voted against Prim's Protec tionist policy, they felt that he could not be dispensed with, and a vote of confidence in his administration was passed at a meeting of the majority. His resignation and those of his colleagues were withdrawn. It is expected that a new Minister of Finance will be appointed, and that Prim will be more than ever master of the situati-m.

COUNT BISMARCK ON PRUSSIAN POLICY. One of the irrepressible correspondents of the New York Herald furnishes that journal with a report of a con versation with Count Bismarck, in which the Prussian Chancellor seems to have been remarkably communicative on important matters of policy. The inquisitive journalist had no hesitation in asking the statesman whether the sivation of Europe would permit a reduction of the army budget, with the view of relieving North Germany from financial difficulty. Count Bismarck replied that such a course could not be thought of. "North Germany," he said, "must remain watchful and armed, for she has no guarantee of the intentions of France and Austria. England and America have a quarrel of their own, and as to an alliance with Russia, the Opposi tion in the North German Parliament will not hear of it. In such a situation Germany must rely upon herself, and cannot therefore reduce her military force. It is true that the people of France do not desire war ; but the French nation is easily inflamed, and it may plunge into hostilities with aprecipitation incredible to more phlegmatic nations." This is interesting, and the meaning is clear. As the French nation, however much " inflamed," cannot make war of its own will, Count Bismarck evidently meant to say that though the people of France did not desire war, yet their ruler was not in this respect to be depended upon. yes Diike, Bart.

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 year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two ofliceslast absorbed by the company.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued 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 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 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 without any conditions as to voyaeing, 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_th e u t mos t 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WAg TED. HENRY ITARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3;000 and 4,000 weekly.

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Constitutionnel says that by the agreement arrived at in the matter of the railway difficulty between Belgium and France, a direct service of trains is definitely eata• blished between Anvers and Bale, and a common tariff of fares has been prescribed for all the railway companies concerned. The commission has like wise arranged a financial settlement between the East of France Company and the Belgian and Dutch owners of the lines over which the French trains will run. The Constitutionnel adds that this agreement has not been embodied in a convention ; but merely takes the form of a minute; laying down general conditions on the basis of which the companies themselves will be enabled to establish an international system of traffic. THE SITUATION IN FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Post has been adopting the American system of " drawing " politicians. Meet ing an old member of the Corps L4gislatif, the representa tive of the fashionable journal.took opportunity to ask him what he thought of the new Chamber. The old deputy's opinion on the subject was very unfavourable. He believed that Fiance was at the beginning of parliamentary troubles. The Opposition were very violent, and a feeling of personal hostility was growing up. " For the moment a perfect babelisme prevails. None of us are sure whether the Emperor is going backwards or forwards, or whether we are to expect the status quo. He has a majority at his disposal. That majority desires a move forward. I look to the moderate Reformers as the only salvation for France and the Emperor. We have amongst us a party of reaction, and we have a revolutionary party. Both are equally dangerous." AUSTRIA AND THE CZECHS. The Austrian Government has not yet been able to settle its difficulties with the Bohemians. Nothing will satisfy the latter except such a complete recognition of their nationality as the Hungarians have already obtained, and this the Emperor Francis Joseph has not found himself in a position to concede. An attempt has recently Leen made to get over the nationality aspirations of the Czechs by dividing them, by separating Moravia from Bohemia, and by creating a dis tinct province of the former. But this disingenuous idea has met with the failure which it merited. The Moravians saw through the artifice at once. It was not difficult to divine that if the Austrian Government refused to concede an autonomy to the Bohemians, it would not grant that right to the Moravians, except to further its own pur poses. The latter, therefore, have held a great meeting at which community of race with the Bohemians was solemnly affirmed. The inhabitants of the two pro vinces proclaim the same grievances, and look to the same means of reparation. The Bohemians remain the great stumblingblock in the way of Austrian progress, and it is clear that their case cannot be met by such shallow artifices as this expedient of dividing them into two peoples. GENERAL DUCE. The ex-Governor of Cuba, General Dulce, who was compelled by the volunteers to resign, has arrived in Spain, and has met with a very bad reception. The inhabitants of Santander got up a hostile demonstration on his landing, and he was surrounded with a furious mob crying for his execution. A similar welcome awaited him at Reinosa and Valladolid. The Spaniards are profoundly affected at the prospect of losing their fine possession, and they complain that General Dulee acted far too leniently towards the insurgents. What will they think of the conciliatory policy which, a cable telegram informs us, has been adopted by Caballero de Rodas? A FREE PORT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. A free port is about to be established in the African State of Tripoli, at a point on the coast of the Mediterranean due south of the western end of Candia. Every induce ment will be held out to foreigners to settle at this new port, which is to be called Tabrouk. No taxes will be imposed on the inhabitants for ten years, and they will be furnished with tools, and even with food for the first twelve months. An English company has been deputed to construct the works necessary for commercial and defensive purposes. It is expected that this free port will, through the opening of the Suez Canal, become a place of some importance. PRIZE-FIGHTING IN A3IERICA. Judging by the comments in the American papers on the recent prize-fight, our cousins are not proud of the noble sport which they have inherited from us. Prize fighting has been driven out of England, and has taken refuge in the United States ; but the Americans unhesi, tatingly declare that they will have none of it. The sport lost its " ancient nobleness " here ; but it has sunk to a lower level on the other side of the Atlantic. The crowds which muster at these reunions consist of the lowest of the low ; the fighting itself is mere scrambling and throttling, not boxing. It is alleged by some that the referee between M'Coole and Allen was bribed to give his decision in favour of the latter. The New York Herald remarks that the only remaining question to be settled in connection with these pugilistic gentry is to estimate the cost of accommodating them in gaol. "ALCOHOLISM." The Philadelphia Public Ledger notes that habitual drinking is largely on the increase in the United States. What it calls " chronic alcoholism " is now becoming a common cause of the removal of officers from the army. In the ordinary walks of life, too, this most deadly of epidemics is spreading alarmingly. The high price of genuine spirits having introduced inferior whiskies and brandies, the fatal effects of the morbid taste for liquors are more and more to be observed. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotalion of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 221 c. per £t sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 1:s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the 3d inst. about 09i per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
