Among the reports now entreat inly is one of a transfer of the capital to Naples, that city, it is said, preparing to pay a large indemnity to Florence. Another report is that Victor Emmanuel intends to abdicate in favour of Prince Humbert if Princess Dlargherita should have a son. At present the King is not much disposed to such a step, if we are to judge from an anecdote now current in Rome. Some persons at court had been trying to persuade the King to abdicate, when he quietly replied, "I am no great reader of history, but I have always noticed that every king who abdicated ended his days either in a madhouse, a convent, or a country house , 4 ' I have no fancy for any of .%three."

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office—y, 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 bo 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 pp.- 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 those 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 aro in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Lifo 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 i.sued 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, tbo 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 bolding policies of this cuss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintai❑ the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are, held as collateral security. _ . I t is only necessary to add that, ass consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfoitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore he 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 now buciness of any office in tho Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish tho principle of froe admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent ler support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo 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 8,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the promises of this hospital aro capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

SPAIN. A private telegram from Madrid states that a council of war has condemned a Carlist priest to death. He commanded a baud in the province of Leon, and was taken prisoner with his arms in his hands. The Captain- General has confirmed this sentence, but it is believed that it will not be carried out immediately. The disputed point about the prelates will most probably be left to the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice. THE ISTHMUS OP CORINTH. Scarcely has the Suez Canal been brought in view of a successful termination when a fresh project is discussed by the enterprising engineers of the Continent. The now scheme is very much leas formidable, but it is not without its importance to travellers. It is proposed to cut through the Isthmus of Corinth, which is only three miles and a half broad. By this means the journey from Marseilles to Constantinople would be shortened by at least fourteen hours, and the journey from Trieste to the same city by twenty. The- idea is not a new one, having, it is said, been started in -the days of Nero. Within the last eight years 31. , Lygboaserlalt Cretan gentleman, proposed to undertake the work, but the Hellenic Government refused to sanction it. M. Lyglionnes has since been engaged as director of the works on the embankments of the Nile, and the success of the Suez scheme has convinced all concerned of the feasibility of the Corinth Canal. M. Lesseps, it is said, will undertake it. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS. We learn from the Hague that an international exhibi tion of a novel character is to be opened there on the let of September. The exhibition is to include all the appliances for the relief, succour, and removal of the wounded on the field of battle. The Netherlands Central Committee of the Association for the relief of the wounded in time of war, has originated the undertaking, which is, it seems, to be complete of its kind. Among min(); International Exhibitions that of Wittenberg has played a conspicuous part. The arrange ments have been on a far more extensive scale than those at Leipsic, and the number of visitors has been propor tionately greater. There is one section set apart for the exhibition of Berlin art which presents some great attrac tions. There is also a special show of the Berlin Secicty of Architects, which illustrates the form that German art is new taking. There have been many more contributors to the Wittenberg Exhibition than to that of Leipsic. The collections which most fully represent the purpose of the promoters of the scheme are steam, and windmills, and millstones. TIIE CANADIANS AND THE CUSTO3I-EOUSE. The Toronto Globe complains that Canadians Massing through the United States, on their way to the Hudson Bay Territoty, are subjected to vexatious Custom-house charges. The Customs' authorities require a bond that the property and effects of the emigrants are en route to British poszessions. If they are not furnished with such a bond, they have to pay 30 per cent. The New York Times, in commenting on this matter, thinks that it should receive the attention of the Customs authorities. On the northern frontier stringent regulations are required to prevent smuggling, but these should not be allowed to become the occasion of fraud or superfluous vexation. The New York Times thinks that the line of Custom-houses which dot both sides of an extended frontier might be dispensed with, and asks if a Zollverein is impracticable. THE RAILROAD NAIL. The Susquehanna war is declared at an end. General McQuade has taken possession of the road on behalf of the State, directed the restoration of the property seized by the contending parties, ordered the men who formed the armies to work, and announced his intention of sunning the lino as a military road until the question of ownership is settled in the courts. The repairs of the road were being rapidly proceeded with when the mail lett, and business was to be at once resumed. The New York Thite3 states that otla r wars are hi prospect, as the Et ie managers are endeavouring to obtain possession of the Rensselaer and Saratoga railway, their object being to obtain sa nue roc -e ui their eons mines to the Lake Champlain country. A receiver, it was said, would be appointed on the Rcusselaer line in their interests. TAXES ON CAPITAL. About 200 of the bankers and brokers doing business In New York, who reside at Brooklyn, have filed a protest against the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court In regard to the tax of one quarter per cent. on the capital used in their business. JOINING THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS. It is announced that the Nicaraguan Ship Canal will soon be undertaken by a French Company, to whom a charter has been granted by the Presidents of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The respective Congresses of the two republics are expected to signify their approval of this permission. The work will be a costly one, but the company promises to use the utmost energy to complete it. It is supposed that the line of the Canal will follow the San Juan River for the greater part of the distance. The most difficult section will be that which lies between the Pacific and the western shore of the Lake of Nicaragua. CUBA. The latest news from Cuban sources states that active preparations have been commenced by the insurgent Generals Jordan and Quesada. The Cubans held the principal points along the coast, and were in perfect com. inunication with their friends in the United States. Only the recognition of their rights as belligerents by the Ameri can Government was required to enable them to get entire possession of the island outside of Havana. There have been many defections from the Spanish troops, and there has been serious difficulty in the volunteer organisations. General Jordan's troops have met with great success, and are in the highest spirits. Bank of Engla.id Returns.
