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.

Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 tho ground that, i n; no event of in ability or unwillingness to continuo 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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, es shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may he called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance whore policies sre 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 bo uncloillengeable 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 HARDEN, Secretary. B RITISH.

Of the 59 companies now doing business in this State, the oldest dates back no further than 1845, and nearly the whole of the more than a billion and a half of insurance represented in this report is the growth of less than half a genera tion. It is one of the very few great interests which among us have known no fluctuations from the be ginning, but it has grown steadily in war and in peace till it is without a parallel in the annals of corporate enterprise. Since the official valuation of policies was begun in ISSB, the number of com panies had increased from 11 to 56 at the beginning of the present year, the number of policies out standing from 40 thousand to more than half a mil lion, the amount insured from 117 millions in round numbers to 1,567 millions, the annual income from 5 millions to 77 millions, and the computed premium reserve from 11 millions to more than 140 mil lions. Much of this large increase is due unques tionably to an increasing appreciation of the benefits of life insurance, and much also to the energetic competition which since 1865 has made the business of insurance one of the most active as well as one of the most fruitful in the State. The novel methods of insurance lately brought into vogue, which, though somewhat be wildering to the common mind, are nevertheless made in the Lauds of skilful agents to appear at. tractive, have led many of late years to invest in this way, with the expectation of living to reclaim their own with usury. Not even the scepticism excited by the failure of many old companies in Great Britain, certified by the best names in the realm, nor the exaggerations and extravagances with which some new companies have brought discredit upon life insurance, nor the difficulty of understand ing the process by which the continued solvency of any particular company is assured, have pre vented the most sagacious men from contributing to swell the immense pecuniary interest which this branch of insurance represents. The policy.holder is made to feel secure, not so much by the strength of the names which give eclat to his particular cora- pony, or to the representations of its enterprising agents, as to the searching and thorough tests to which it is liable under our laws, made in accord- ance with the judgment of accomplished actuaries, and with the best light they have been able to throw on the science of insurance. The report now before us shows with what labour and fidelity these tests have been applied in this State, and with what good results. The tables are full and eornpre. hensive, and cover every point which has been brought into controversy in connection with the busi ness of life insurance. Upon the strength of these tables the commissioner deprecates the multiplication of companies and the tendency to extravagance of management on the part of companies newly launched. He also introduces a timely caution to applicants for insurance against _the new-fangled plans which have come into use. These secure large and quick returns to agents, and secure to the com panies the control of large capital to compensate for the remote liability. But they are speculative in their nature and aside from the legitimate pur poses of life insurance. The old-fashioned whole life policy, or, better still, the endowment-insurance policy, to provide against the possibility of depend ent old age, is commended as by all odds the cheapest and best form *of insurance for those to whom life assurance is a necessity, and who cannot afford to deal with the company except upon the best terms for themselves." SEN A7(212 FESSENDEN. Senator William Pity Fessenden, of Portland, Maine, died there at his residence on the Bth Sept., at half-past 6 p.m., after a long and painful sick ness. Although so dangerously ill that little hopes were entertained of his recovery, his rally on the evening of the 3d aroused the hopes of his friends, but a relapse followed, which ended in his - death. It is a singular circumstance, if true, that while on his death-bed the startling story spread that C harks Sump er was dying. Mr. George Peabody had received a false telegram to thateffect, asking him to proceed to Boston to see his friend. As the bulletin boards of the Portland newspapers announced the news, it was carried to Senator Fessenden, who ex pressed great regret, considering such an event to be highly detrimental to the public service. Charles Sumner may be regarded as his rival, as leader of the Republican party, and they had been at vari ance till lately for many years. Mr. Fessenden was bor n i n B oscawen, Merri mack County, New-Hampshire, Oct. 16, 1806. His father was the Hon. Samuel Fessenden, who, with many of his other relatives, did the State good service during its earlier history. Always fond of study, he entered Bowdoin College at the age of 13, gra duating with high honours in 1823. Choosing law as his profession, he began his studies at once, and was admitted to the bar in 1827. He opened an office at Bridgeton, Maine, but, two years after wards moved toPortland, where he constantly resided until his death. Chosen a member of the State Legislature in 1831, he at once distinguished him self, both as a legislator and an orator, and one of his speeches on the Bank question was long remem bered as a most successful effort. In 1850 he was elected to Congress, but lost his seat through an error in the return. In 1853 Portland returned him to the State Legislature, and though chosen by the Senate, he was defeated by the House for United States Senator. When the Kansas-Nebraska ques tion assumed importance in the following year he was selected by both branches on the first ballot, and the Republican party in Maine dates from this event. Immediately on taking his seat he made an eloquent and effective speech against the Nebraska Bill, and he quickly became a leader in the Chamber, where his services were so highly ap preciated by his State that he was re-elected in 1859, and place and honours from every direction showered on him. He was a member of the Peace Conference which met in 1861, and firmly supported the Union cause throughout the war, rendering it great assistance as chairman of the Finance Commit tee, as well as Senator of the United States. On the resignation by Mr. Chase of the Treasury Secre taryship a panic ensued, raising gold in less than a fortnight from a premium of 90 to 185. Pre sident Lincoln, backed by the Cabinet and the Senate, thrust the difficult task of quieting the storm on Mr. Fessenden, who, against his inclina tion, entered the vacant office on the sth July. His appeal to the people was answered by sub scriptions in millions to the 7-30 Bonds, and when he resigned to return to the Senate on the 4th March, 1865, gold had fallen to 99 premium, de scending to 30 by the 11th May. Again he was re-elected to the Senate, and the Administration of Andrew Johnson followed, with which our readers are familiar, and on which we have already touched in the account we gave, on receipt of the cane message announcing his death.
