A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGE ABLM, 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 Uncballengeable. 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, bcaring tho same propor tiou to the total amount assured as the number of pre minms 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure•i will thus always have the option of retain ing eithex 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 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 cuss 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 are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under those 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 WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. CLERICAL. MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 13, ST. JAMES'S SQUARE, LONDON, S.W. Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Aflual General Meeting held on the 27th November, PCB : 1. The sum of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was .£loo,Bs'3, being the smallest Since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years 1)44. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwith,tanding 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 Bunus in 1867. 2. Thl 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 are among the distinctive features of the CREDIT SYSTE3LI-On tiny Policy for the whole of Liff., where the ago does not exceed 60, one-half of th e Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain OD credit. 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 be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from th e 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 cluded, at upwards of £5 12 s . per cent.

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 nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amo un t of premiums p a id f or re . as surance, many of the r i s k s 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 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows: DR. LIABILITIES.

ITo. 10,1 2 9tur undo, FMR §eptada 1660. T 163. `Z.C:e,,.. c-4,.__,. FOREIGN NOTES. FRANCE AND BELEM& The new mode of settling difficulties by diplomatic interchanges is likely to save Europe from some of the most unjustifiable wars, but it is evident that peace can be secured only by a lengthened period of uncertainty. The progress of the negotiations between France and Belgium, like the progress of the Greek affair, is dismally slow. The two disputants are still arranging preliminaries, and it is not quite certain even yet what form of peaceful settle went will be selected. The Independance Beige, a very good authority, says that Yrance demands another con ference. The difficulty must be grave indeed when French, dignity can be appeased only by a conference ; but .as a fashionable remedy has always the best chance of success, the proposal is perhaps wise. The Eten. dard, a Paris journal, which seems to be taking the place of the Canstitationnel, thinks it " absolutely certain" that the question will be submitted to a Franco-Belgian commission. "The commission is not, however, yet formed, but it may be taken for granted that no foreign element will be introduced. The purely commercial question which has arisen between the two countries ought to be kept within its original limits." The Temps says nothing of the mode of settlement, but states that M. do la Gndrroniere has sent a despatch to the French Government, in which he expresses a confident hope of coming to terms it') the Belgian Ministry. The French inspired organs have abandoned the etyle of anathema with which they opened this questiou, but they have Eubs'i.Wed a patronising tone which is even more in' ol< rable. The Etendard, for instance, writes " The French Government is now inquiring with ta le utmost care whether there is any ground for the fears expressed by Belgium respecting a reduced tariff of fares. If these apprehensions are well founded, the Government will at once recognise and provide fur them in the treaty between the companies." Now, the Belgian Legit ! , !attire passed a law empowering the • Ministry to refuse permission for any Belgian line to be leased to a foreign company, and the proposed lease of a Luxemburg line to the North-East Company of France is a case coming within this measure. But the French official papers ignore the law, take it for granted that the Belgian Government will, at the bidding of France, withhold its right of refusing the concession, and reduce the dispute to a question of tariff. The lease must be granted without demur, but if there be a anything in the fears of the _Belgian Government respecting the laves, the French Cabinet will be condescending enough to consider it. Whatever may be the issue of this dispute, the whole course of it points to the suspicion that Belgium is acting under menace. In addition to this remarkably generous style of expres sion, the official papers manifest some covert uneasiness as to the course which England might take in case of extremity. Their curiosity does not find much satisfac tion, but an article in the Post hinting that a war against Belgium could hardly fail to involve England, is reprinted in all the leading Paris papers. The Temps thinks this article affords food for reflection. The Owl says that the anger of the Emperor Napoleon was first arouPed by the belief that Bismarck supported King Leopold. This suspicion was excited by a recent visit of M. Frere-Orban to Germany. i ~ TRADE WITH CHINA. The Owl announces that a society is being formed in Belgium for the exploration of China, with the ulterior object of developing the immense resources of the Empire by the introduction of railroads and telegraphs. King Leopold, who has travelled in China, favours the scheme, which is also supported by several of the great English houses. THE MUSCOVITE IN ASIA. On the whole it seems that Russia has been self-denying in its career of conquest in Central Asia. Had the busi ness of annexation been pushed, the whole of the continent, except India and China, might have been under the sway of the Czar. During the last three years four deputations from the chiefs of Mongolia—the very large territory lying between China and Eastern Siberia—have offered to place their arms and followers at the disposal of Russia, and have prayed for the blessing of incorporation. Three deputations were received, but the fourth was an interview with the Siberian Governor—the time not being come for the absorption of a country as large as Europe.- BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. The question of transferring the Hudson's Bay territory to the Dominion of Canada has arrived at a crisis. The terms offered to the Hudson's Bay Company have been m')dified, and are now more favourable than before —more favourable, too, than they are likely to be again. Earl Granville proposes that the company shall surrender to her Majesty all their rights of government, property, &c. in Rupert's Land and other parts of British North America, which will be transferred to the Dominion of Canada upon Canada paying the company £300,000 in compensation for their territory and rights. It is proposed that the company shall retain their rights of trade, their stations, and blocks of land adjoining them. Besides this, they can claim one-twentieth of every district within the Fertile Belt, as it is called, these claims to be made as the land is laid out for settlement. No exceptional taxes are to be imposed upon the company's property. The shareholders are about to meet to consider these terms. They cannot do better than close the bargain, for if they refuse they are certain to be confronted by a worse. The time when private companies could govern empires is past. 6 THE UNITED STATES. The Times correspondent describes at considerable length the effect of General Schenck's Finance Bill, and the present state of public opinion in the States on the subject of repudiation. During the present year the prices of American bonds have risen at New York as rapidly as in Europe, and the strength of the upward movement is still undiminished. The London and New York quotations have alternately followed and ruled each other, and at both capitals the Five-Twenties have reached an unprecedented price. The price of gold has proportionately declined; it is now 4 per cent. lower than on New Year's Day. A great change has unmistakeably come over public sentiment. Last autumn there was a strong repudiation party, formed of very different classes of politicians ; now, comparatively speaking, there is none. The same House of Representa tives that voted the taxation of bonds in July shewed a large majority against it in February. General Logan, of Illinois, a lealing advocate of repudiation, has openly recanted. Public opinion is decisively in favour of honest payment PO LITICAL ITEMS. The unseating of the two members for Blathburn makes thirteen vacant seats at the present time. Altogether nine liberAs have been unseated (two of them on account of informalities) and ten Censerva tives.—The Owl states that Government intend to propose the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into the corrupt practices at Bridgwater, Beverley, Dublin, and Sligo.—Messrs. Dowdeswell, Mansfield, and Biron will be entrusted with the Nor wich Commission, and should a Commission for Dublin be decided upon, it will be entrusted to Mr. L. W. Flanagan, Mr. 11. Law (the draftsman cf the Irish Church Bill), and Mr. C. Tandy. The same paper mentions that Mr. Wren Hoskyns, the well-known agriculturist, the author of " The Chronicles of a Clay Farm," -is a candidate for Hereford. He is a Liberal, and will have for his colleague Colonel Clive, son of one of the unseated members. Although the next election for the corrupt city of Norwich is, to all appearances, exceedingly remote, both parties are now provided with candidates in the event of the writ being granted by the House of Commons. It will be remembered that Mr. Edward Warner, who retired at the general election in favour of Mr. Tillett, issued an address in the Liberal interest immediately after Sir Henry Stracey was unseated. Since then the Conservatives have been casting about for a can didate, the unseated member's son being among those asked to come forward. Mr. Stracey, jun., however, declined, and it is now stated that the party h a ve succeeded in inducing Sir Robert Harvey to offer himself. Sir Robert was made a baronet by the Conservative Government on giving up his seat for Thetford in favour of Mr. Gordon, the then Lord-Advocate. He is the acting partner in the banking-house of Harvey and Hudson, which, since the loss of prestige by the house of Gurney has gained considerably in local influence, and is personally popular with all classes of the city. On the other hand, the Liberals aresaid to be diciided by sectarian and personal differences, and there ig a ,. grudge felt by the more ignorant electors against th e . men who successfully prosecuted the petition foi bribery against the late member. For these reasons the Conservatives desire and are resolved to vote fez the issuing of the writ, in the unlikely event of tide Attorney-General's motion for a COMMiPed on being defeated. SIR HENRY EDWARDS. The Earern Morning News publishes a letter which has been addressed by Sir Henry Edwards to the electors of Beverley. The hon. baronet con fesses that " his feelings are deeply wounded," for he "can truly say it is the heaviest blow dealt to him since his first entry into Parliament, two-and-twenty years ago." It is, howevAsome consolation to him to know that his late colleague and himself are acquitted" of all knowledge and participation in any illegality at either the municipal or parliamentaly election. Nothing is said of the prospect of his ever sitting again for the borough. I)UNVILLE and CO., Belfast, are the largeat holders of Whisky in the world.
