FOREIGN NOTES. A NEW ATLANTIC CAB %" A. concession for laying a new Athintie Cable between Northern Germany and the United States, has been granted by Count Bismarck, Chancellor of the North German I3und, to Count Reichenbach and Dr. Lasard, of Berlin, and Mr. O'Beirne, M.P., and Mr. George Cook, of London. The Chancellor reserves the right of selecting the spot at which the cable is to be landed and connected with the telegraph lines of Northern Germany, and will issue the regulations. Any difference of opinion is to be referred to three judges of the Prussian Supreme Court. The line is to be completed in two years, and the incorporators are permitted to form connection with the Indo-European Telegraph Company for the interchange of telegrams between America, Asia, and Australia. PRIOR.. id STAMM-3D ..sd. ap n\ and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry. ori g inated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is r commended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve ments of the age for the aPeviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 3x2, Begent-street. Tho superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful. loose teethl and tender gums protorted Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease cud comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied —and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation goaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says: —"So good an imitatiou becomes tit • next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; s,ts. 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation address, 312, Regent-stro t, exactly facing the o al rolytechnie. SPAIN. General Prim has issued a circular in which he declares that the Carlist movement has been extinguished, and that the Regent has charged him to give thanks to all who contributed to that important result. The sentence of death passed upon the Carlist leaders, Canon 7.1fi110 and others, has been commuted, and the leniency thus displayed has given great satisfaction. The question of the h:shops has caused great perplexity to the Ministers and they have postponed the settlement of the difficulty until the Cortes meet. The whole of the episcopal bench has now replied to the decree, but some of the answers are so unsatisfactory that they are to be submitted to the Supreme Tribunal, The Bishop of Osma declined to be a spy for the Government, and the Bishop of Jaen declared that he could not be called to account by any other power than the Pontiff at Rome. The Archbishop of Santiago refused to issue a pastoral, and denied the right of the Government to interfere in religious matters. COMPAGNIE GENERALE TRANSAT LANTIQUE. 4, Rue de In Pais, Paris.

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. By order of the Board, JUIN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, iisned by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office 7 77, King-street, St. James's. Tho 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 toissue 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 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 bo withdrawn on the discontinuance of tho 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 sot 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-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cuss as security, may always know the utmost amount - they may ho carted upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies gre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfoitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any proem! whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses nn 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.

The promises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme.

THE SULTAN AND THE KHEDIVE. A despatch from Vienna states that the English, French, and Anstrian Ambassadors have exerted them selves to bring about a good understanding between the rode and the Viceroy. TRADE AND FINANCE. With the opening of September we !lave commenced another commercial year, and one that will probably bring forth great things. At the present moment, indeed, the general aspect of affairs is not altogether satisfactory, and it would appear that, even after the lapse of time, the effects of the great panic of 1866 have not entirely passed away. A certain amount of distrust still exists among commercial men, induced, in the first instance, by the discreditable revelatiims attending the fall of the " Corner House," and many similar institutions. Considering the high places into which this very ques tionable commercial morality had penetrated, and the great extent to which it had spread, there an be little wonder at the intensity of the reaction against it, particularly as we have been favoured from time to time with similar disgraceful disclosures. For instance, the past few weeks has brought to light the condition of the Albert Insurance Company, and it has been made evident that the career of this concern has been attended by circumstances which it is charitable to call discredi table. Even now well-informed circles are speculating as to how long several other large life insurance offices—who have enjoyed similar omnivorent lives —can last. When institutions of this kind, which contain within themselves every element of safety so long as they are properly conducted, are attacked, it is diffi cult to see what branch of finance can be free from suspicion. We have seen them all in question in turn, and, as a rule, the attacks have been founded on reason, and scarcely sufficiently determined to bring all the hidden enormities to light. Great, but not un mitigated, good will result from these exposures, and in regard to the insurance offices the axe has already been laid to the root of that great evil — payment by commissions. To this the fall of the Albert is to be traced, and the greatest good that can be looked for out of such a calamity is the abolition of so noxious a system. We have, however, now to consider what prospects the ensuing year offers for a revival of business, or rather for a return of that speculative business without which there can be no buoyancy in prices. Within legitimate limits speculation is a wholesome life in the markets, as implying a steadiness in demand for the article operated in, and we are not prepared to go the length of condemning it as the author of many evils. Much of the present depression in the a - due of money is to be attributed to the general absence of speculation in produce, and so long as this continues to be the case so long will prices generally remain without movement. We regret to say that we cannot see any prospect of an alteration in this state of affairs. There is, however, ono very important point to notice. The great decline in the value of wheat has caused no little change in the balance of trade by removing a feature peculiarly adverse to us. This will be more apparent from the following figures. During the six mouths en►ling Juno last we imported produce from Russia to the extent of £3,81.1,393 against £5,392,153 in 186 A, and a nearly similar amount in 1&37. Thisyear, therefore, we are Lable for £1,500,000 less than in ISdS and 1 867 —no considerable amount in the case of one country alone. The whole of this amount is to be accounted for by the in the price of wheat, and as this decline is likely to make further progress the balance of trade will proloably become more and more in our favour. The case of other grain export ing countries would afford further arguments in support of this view. Again, v.-e take the example offered by tl►e United States, which spews a falling off in the computed real value of the imports during the six months referred to of nearly eight millions sterling, owing "to the limited receipts of cotton and the decline in the value of wheat. Do not these two items alone go far towards explaining the continued ease of the money market? Probably their influence has not yet come to an end, and, if so, the ensuing year promises to be a period of cheap money. On the other hand, we are unwilling to believe that another twelve months will be allowed to elapse without some active movement, and are glad to perceive some disposi tion to float promising companies, especially in connection with submarine telegraphy, which bids fair to make rapid strides. The John Bull learns that the Bishop of Win cbester has acted most generously as to the retiring pansioa to which he would be entitled on his forthcoming resigna tion, and will receive far less than he might have claimed. The Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, according to the John Bull, finds his onkagemlnts with regard to meetings connected with the future organisation of the Irish Church will prevent his preaching the sermon at the Church Con gress at Liverpool. A new association in Birmingham, under the title of "The Estahlidted Church Institution," is started. Its objects urn the maintenance and advancement of the prin ciples of the Church of England; the promotion of a general knowledge in subordinaticrn to religion ; the cultivation of Church music ; and encouragement of kindly iatercourso among all classes of Church:nen. On Friday an accident occurred by ♦Lich one man unfortunately lost his life and another was dreadfully in jured. The hum of the catastrophe was the partial explo sion of a boiler, ono of two used to chive the weaving shed of Messrs. Crewdson, manufacturers, Walmer Bridge, a village about six miles from Preston. The two men, the fireman and engine driver, were at work in tho boikr-houso at the time, when suddenly the explosion took place. The fireman was killed instantly, and the engine driver was badly scalded. The extraordinary number of accidents from the explosion of kerosene lamps which occur in New York is attracting general attention from the American press. Four or five such accidents take place every week, and fifty-two deaths are said to result from them annually. It is thought probable that a kerosene inspector will be appointed to en force the ordinances against the sale of dangerous illuminat ing fluids. The " American Murray" continues to be the rage, for raging is the only term to apply to those who style themselves "hurray's fools." What the revereud gentleman did was to write a book, entitled "Adventures in the Wilderness." It was a forcibly written, impulsive, little work, graphically describing his experience; and, as it was published by an influential house and was exten tensively advertised, he brought the Adirondacks into pro minent notice. Describing the climate, Mr. Murray tore nounced it to be eminently adapted to restore impaired health, and he related a marvellous cure of consumption\ To the sick the Adirondachs offered this attraction ; Mr. Murray let the sportsman's cat out of the bag, revealing their favourite ground to a lot of would-be sportsmen, and for the lover of scenery he pourtrayod the mountain, wood, and water. Those verywho hurried to theAdiroudacks h a t nt v v e al b i e d en . Nut only i i n n a se p a i i:: o •ll ,3 ,erfhnallycuirien,pdreiepda,read for s did the game fly before the army of would-be sportsmen, but they cleared the country to the intense indignation of the genuine sportsmen, while boats, guides, and every means of locomotion, were taken away from those who really desired to enjoy the natural beauties with which the region alounds. A writer describing the wilderness, declared the echoes of the hills to be scolding after this fashion. "Murray is a humbug." Murray is a " T am ono of Murray's fools." "Murray ought to be assas sinated." "Murray is responsible for more than one death." Thus it ever is; the stupid attach their own meaning to what an author writes, and then block up his doorway with the blunders they have laid there. The real season, too, is not midsummer, but autumn ; when the midges, musquitoes, and the biting things so innumerable as to obscure the sky are dead when the shooting is better, and the woods tinted with the fall colouring, more brilliant than any other sylvan scene in the world over.
