BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Li 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 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, 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. 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 Besides this importa n nt advantage, every policy xi-ill ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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, as 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 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 these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will ale) be unchallengoable on any kround 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 businr,s of any office in the Kingdom.

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 £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on now 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.

In the Court of Common fleas on Saturiky the action of Collette Y. Bruce was tied. The plaintiff was a soli citor in Lincoln's-inn-Fields, and the defendant, Mr. Frederick Bruce, was a Larrister practising in equity, on the occasion now in question, and he also re ports the proceedings of the Rolls Cold for the Times newspaper. The action was to recover damages for an alleged libel. Frau the opening statement it appeared that in December last the plaintiff was solicitor to Messrs. Eley in the Chancery suit of " Daw v. Eley and others," which had reference to an alleged infringement of a patent for mak ing cartridges. The libel complained of was an inaccurate report. In the course of the case his lordship made a sug gestion to the parties, which resulted in a settlement of the litigation. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien said that his client was satisfied with the explanation that had been given. A juror was then by consent withdrawn. THE CONFESSION OF ARSON AT BARNSLEY. On Friday, at the Barnsley Court House, two boys, named Wildsmith and Hepworth, both aged 16, were charged with setting fire to the Beavor Bobbin Mill at Barnsley. It will be remembered that the fire took place several months ago, and property to the value of £lO,OOO was destroyed. The origin was unknown, but within the last few days two boys have made a confession implicating two of their companions. The former boys, Goodyeer and Waugh, appeared as wit nesses for the prosecution of Wildsmith and Hepworth. Goodyeer said that both the prisoners worked at the mill in the same room with him, and he bad been asked by them to bring some matches, which he did. Waugh said that a few days before the fire Hepworth asked him if he woni!! agree to be with him to set the mill on fire. On the evening of the fire he saw Hepworth go to the stove. Three weeks later Hepworth told him that he and Wild smith fired the mill. The prisoners, who made no answer when charged, were committed to the assizes for trial, bail being accepted.

From the prison in Columbus eleven con victs escaped, and in Cleveland County Gaol the plan for a general delivery was almost successful. In the former (June 6) the turnkey Earhal t unlocked the doors of two prisoners, whose good conduct had obtained for them the privilege of unlocking the other cell doors. Both dashed at him and struck him down, enveloping his head in a sheet, tying a handkerchief tightly over his mouth, and with his feet strapped together he was deposited in a cell minus keys and pistols. The doors being unlocked, eleven of the prisoners coolly walked out and dispersed, but seve ral were afterwards seen together with arms, and a reward has been offered for their apprehension. The prisoners were not however, so fortunate with turnkey Koehler of the Cleveland County Gaol. About the same time on the same day as in Columbus, Mr. Koehler, according to custom, unlocked the cells, when two notorious ruffians sprang upon him as previously concerted, knocked him down, but in spite of their efforts to choke him, his shouts brought assistance, and the attack was defeated. The burglar Flynn availed himself of the opportunity of the general confusion to slip into the cell of a prisoner named Gill, who had given evidence against him, and ferociously attacked him. AMERICAN INVENTIONS AND ENGLISH CLAIMANTS. —The manner in which American inventions are some times adopted in other countries and supplied with names that wholly disguise their origin has been exemplified in unnumbered instances, among which may be noted the so-called Paixhan gun, invented by Colonel Bomford, but called after the Frenchman who introduced it into his own country; the Drummond light, devised by an American physician, but deriving its cognomen from an English lieutenant; the gas engine, first made to operate wills any thing like practical success by a Philadelphia inventor, but most widely known as the work of a Parisian improver; and, the "Abyssinian pump," so termed because used by the British forces in the Abyssinian expedition, although invented by an officer of the American army to meet the wants of the soldiers in the great civil war."—American Artisan.
