The rev. gentleman is a native of this northern town,— Blondin is performing at the East London Theatre.— An interesting discovery has just been made in Russia, namely, of a Byzantine cameo in onyx, dated from the seventh century. The gem, which is embedded in a golden cup, presented to the Cathedral of Ouspenski by Catherine 11., is two inches in length and of an oval form. The relief represents a cross surmounted by a medallion bearing the effigy of the Saviour, accompanied by two figures of angels.

Madame Mallinger (a very good young Soprano) is learning to swim, as that aquatic exercise is absolutely necessary to the performance of her part in the absurd opera. As to how she is to sing in the water we are not enlightened, nor is the kind of costume suggested. '6,309,88 5 :2,515,333 ITUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION A.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES , UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 und er th em 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 i❑ respect of every pentium paid. baring 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. Resides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time bo withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 futuro reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances, Creditors amring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of tbeir 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 bo 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, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this chss 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. 4' 8 1%114 - - —ores beriig mitifirteitetble and uncon- Rtional, they will also bo unchallongeablo 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 oluico in tho Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. REMIT' HARDEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

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 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 nearly £19,000. 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 officeslast absorbed by the company.

TRADE AND FINANCE. The time has now arrived when we can speak with some certainty as to the prospects of the wheat plant and the future course of the corn trade. Cutting has already com menced on some forward and early-sown patches, but this, of ccurse, is quite exceptional. Never theless, the harvest will probably be general by the second week in August. Doubtless a very great improvement has taken place in the position of the plant since the middle of June, the weather since that period having proved all that could be desired. By a very fortunate circumstance, the weather changed at the most lritical period of the plant's existence, and the blossoming eras undergone under very favourable conditions. Bad it DECII otherwise, the results must evidently have been very serious. We may observe that we attach little importance to the rumours of blight and vermin which have lately become prevalent, but which are apparently of quite a local nature. Nevertheless, we ere by no means disposed to fall in with the views of those who anticipate a full average crop. Similar prophecies have already been rudely falsified, and we are inclined to believe that this opinion will also be dispelled. We have been assured for some months past that the tendency of the quotations was unmistakably downwards, whereas the course of events has lett prices considerably higher than the lowest point cf the year. Our readers will recollect that we have always affirmed that there was nothing in the prospects or condition of the trade to justify any decline in prices, and the event has proved that our lbservations were entirely correct. Circumstances now, however, are rather different. We are about to secure an early, and not a late, harvest, as was generally believed, and as we ourselves thought more than probable, and there is no doubt that the area of land under wheat cultivation is somewhat more extensive than the average of years. Such being the case, it is important to arrive at a correct estimate as to the probable yield per acre, and the quality of the crop. And here an element -if great uncertainty enters into our calculations, the whole of which may be falsified by a treacherous change in the weather between this harvest, or by a stormy carrying time. All things being favourable, however, we see ,ittle reason to expect anything snore than an average yield as to quantity, and, so far as our experience of the present growth goes, we shall be surprised if that be attained. Doubtless, some very good ears, grown on well drained and highly-farmed land, have been exhibited in Mark-lane, but no inconsiderable portion is poor in the ear, and leads to the belief that the sudden transition from the cold and damp atmosphere of May and June to the really considerable degree of heat since experienced was too severe for the plant, so that the rapid ripening has brought the ears to too early maturity, thereby preventing a proper and steady development of the grains. We shall be glad if these views prove incorrect, but so far as present appearances go, it seems to us that, not withstanding any decline that may take place in the stocks being replenished by the reaping of the harvest, there is no little reason for considerable firmness in prices, ►nd the question that suggests itself to our mind in con nection with the trade is, not what is the probable extent of the decline, but how far should the recent advance be maintained. And if the consideration of the home trade lead us to this conclusion, a review of the foreign trade will confirm our opinion. It is true that large supplies of produce are on their way from America, but the stocks available for export in the United States are really not large, and some time must elapse before any further considerable shipments can be made. From the South of Europe our supplies will probably be heavy, but they will not be immediately available, and cannot yet affect prices in any important degree. From the Baltic ports our receipts are likely to be limited, although they will not be so much curtailed as was at one time anticipated. The Ministerial Whitebait Dinner will for this year to in abeyance, on account of the Prime Mir Aster's in disposition. Rumours are afloat, says thw that Ar. Gladstone has offered the Deanery 4 - Durham to the Rev. H. Parry Liddon, of Christ Church, Oxford. Mr. Liddon is one of the most brilliant preachers in the Church of England.

To-day there will be an open meeting at the Town ball, when the president, Lord Lytton, will deliver an in augural address. The London Scotsman says that the health of Mr. George MacDonald has considerably improved. His recovery has been rapid since he went to Buxton, and ho is now able to walk about, as well as to resume in a limited measure his literary avocations. On Friday afternoon, while Lieutenant Prince Arthur was out on Woolwich Common with the "B" Bat tery, 4th Brigade of Royal Artillery, to which hia Royal Highness is attached, he met with a slight accident.: The Prince rides a spirited horse, and while standing: at ease it became restive. The horse made a sudden plunge and his Royal Highness was jerked out of the saddle l to the ground. Fortunately his Royal Highness received. no injuries, and was on his feet again in a moment, laughing' heartily. The horse was taken back to the Prince, whu nain mounted and completed his duties.

Salnave was, at last ac counts, still before Aux Cayes in his great fleet of two small ships, occasionally discharging three or four shots against .he place, which served no other purpose than to remind 'he inhabitants of his presence. Torbeck, a small village 'u the vicinity, had been taken, but retained only for-a few hours, the Government soldiers being driven out by the in habitants, who unfortunately lost one of their principal &- condors. On the capture of the place General Al.indron was surprised and taken prisoner, his head chopped off, and tarried upon a pole as a trophy to Salnave. The system of imposing fines for drunkenness re cently introduced in the military service on the recommen dation of the Courts-Martial Commission has, up to the, present time, been attended with the most satisfactory re-; sults, the experience of the working of the system at: Chatham, one of the largest of the military stations,' having fully demonstrated its advantages as corn pared with the former method of treating the crime of drunkenness. Drunkenness among the troops at Chatham is decidedly on the decrease. Taking one of the depot battalions, composed of several hundred men as an example, it has been ascertained that the Enos imposed for drunkenness during the past month amounted to only a few shillings, while in another battalion the total, of the fines during the same period was under a sovereign and in the corps of Royal Engineers, which is very strong in numbers, the amount of fines was only a very little more.
