ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN OHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. 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 Unchallongeable. 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 pentium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure I 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 likowiso 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, 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 unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable o❑ 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.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund Account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d.

Gd. Tho interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from t he p roductive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. 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 premien-is paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of menagement are les3 than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeshist absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. l IENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Compagy's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

F.R.S. . .1 Admiral Tindal.: / ---- 1 _ 111ETROPOLI7'AN GOSSIP. —Monday. The Orange party contemplate a new move against the Irish Church Bill, which is even more ridiculous than their threat of disestablishing the Scotch Church in order to pre vent the disestablishment of the Irish. They will now insist that if the Irish Church is separated from the State there shall be an entire repeal of the Union. They consider the maintenance of the Irish Establishment an essential condition of the Act of Union, and that if a part of that Act is abrogated, the whole ought to be. It has, therefore, been arranged at the Church Institute that an amendment shall be proposed to the Irish Church Bill, to the effect that if this measure is to be proceeded with it will be better not to do things by halves, but to repeal the Act of Union at once. As at present arranged, this resolution will be moved by Sir Frederic Heygate, ALP. for Londonderry County. The hon. baronet and his friends du not seem to see that if their motion were successful it would simply aggravate the evil they dread—Roman Catholic predomi nance ; it would hand over the government of Ireland to a Legislature of which the great majority, instead of, as at present, the small minority, would be Roman Catholics. Wiser counsels prevail in less-excited quarters. The Bishop of Oxford, for instance, is urging upon his brother bishops not to vote against the bill should there be a divi sion, but to amend it in committee, with the hope that the House of Commons would accept the amendments rather than force a quarrel between the two Houses. Probably the Commons would rejectthe amendments without forcing a quarrel. I hear it is not intended to divide against Sir John Cole ridge's University Tests Bill, but to let it go into com mittee, when Sir Roundell Palmer will move various amendments. Before these lines meet the eyes of your readers, the present fate of that bill will have been deter mined. The Bishop of Lichfield preached yesterday morning a sermon of marvellous eloquence and courage in St. James's Chapel Royal. The congregation at this chapel is usually the most aristocratic in London, and the preachers are generally somewhat courtly and cautious. But Bishop Selwyn, instead of dwelling upon the sins of the East-enders, denounced those of the West-enders. He was scathing in his indignation against those who had two codes for breaches of the Seventh Commandment, one code for the man, another for the woman, and said, " Think you God will have two codes hereafter ?" One does not expect to see signs of " sensation" exhibited by a congregation of this kind, but the Bishop's words produced a manifest and profound impression. One of our most prolific female novelists is in such a state of health that she is not likely to write any more. She has overstrained her mental powers by turning out a succession of very " sensational" tales with a rapidity unequalled since the days of the Waverley Novels. I 7 ALIAN AFFAIRS. ROME, MARCH 9. The Pope is remarkably well, and on Friday, being the first Friday of March, he descended from the Sextine of St. Peter's, and there prayed before the tomb of the Apostle, in order to gain the Indulgence of the Station. This usage dates from the earliest ages, each day through out Lent having some one church open to the special devotion of the people, on which occasion its great relics and treasures are exposed to public view, and an indul gence is gained by persons praying there. Up to the middle ages a piece of tow, clipped in the oil of the lamp which, burnt before the altar, was daily carried to the Pope with the words, " the martyr or Saint A., or B. salute thee, oh, Pontiff !" and the tow was preserved to make a cushion, on which lay the Pope's head, and has laid in state after death. There was an immense crowd on the present occasion in St. Peter's—nearly as many as on an ordinary Easter Sunday, and the nationalities seeming nearly as various. The Pope was accompanied by his household, and by the whole Sacred College, now in Rome. He looked extremely well ; and the reports of his being unwell which have been renewed have arisen from the Maestro di Camera having limited the number of private audiences, in order not to tax the Pope's strength too much before the fatigue of Holy Week, which is always very great. The body of Pope Innocent 11. was solemnly transferred last week to the magnificent marble sarcophagus given by Pius IX to the church of Santa Maria, in Trastavere. Innocent was of a Trastaverine family, the Papareschi, and reigned between 1130 and 1143, and had a great affec tion for the venerable church he bad been baptised in, and which he had restored. It appears certain that Mr. Edmund Ffoulkes, whose work has been placed on the Roman Index, will be offered the choice of public retractation and submission to the Church, or excommunication. A fire took place. yesterday at the Vatican, in the Ate liers of Mosaic, in consequence of the igniting of a quantity of mastic and resin used by the artists. Fortunately the paintings in the adjacent Laggio escaped untouched, but the mosaics in preparation for the basilica of St. Paul's were destroyed, with ninny other valuable pieces of workman ship of a more minute description. The damage is calcu lated at 80,000 crowns. The news received from the Romagnas and Legations leads all here to believe that a new war against Rome will be declared shortly. Ricciotti Garibaldi has convoked a meeting of the " Reduci," as survivors of the late cam paign at the Via Pandolfini, each circular being stamped with the new watchword of the sect, " VV"—two entwined, and signifying " Via Vittorio" (Away with Victor). It is fully understood that Mazzini, who has recently had lengthened conferences with the chiefs of the Garibaldian party, has resolved on joining the movement in a far more decided manner than before, when annexa tion to the kingdom of Italy under the House of Savoy was intended. Now that the party of action have frankly adopted Republicanism as their watchword, the differences between Mazzini and Garibaldi cease to exist, and it is certain that a most formidable movement against the monarchy is setting in. Pietrasolli, llazzini's secretary, with Menotti, are still travelling through Central Italy, and their pretext of establishing industrial centres deceives no one. Here considerable anxiety exists as to what takes place in Florence, but Rome itself is perfectly quiet. The brigands who carried off the Vice-Rector of the Scottish College have been sent to the galleys for twenty years, and the college porter, their accomplice, for fifteen. Ajani, Storbini, and the rest of their fellow-conspirators have been sent to the fortress of Pagliano to undergotheir sentences. A letter which appeared a day or two ago in the Nazione, a Liberal and semi-official organ of the Italian Government, calls attention to the fearful state of the Neapolitan prisons of the Viccaria and San Francesco. " There is," says the writer, " no classification ; and torture is in daily use even on those imprisoned on suspicion and untried. It is the rule and not the exception," he says, "and is perfectly legal, and in the provinces it is even worse." There are 70,000 prisoners in the kingdom of Italy, making above 3.1 per cent. on the population. _ . The increase of duelling in Italy is very remarkable since the law passed abrogating all penalties against it. Since I last wrote to you, the Marchese Pizzardi has shot the Marchese Mazzacurata, at Bologna, the adversaries meeting in a field lent for the purpose by Minghetti, the late Minister of Finance, and the Marchese Mazza fell dead at the first fire. Another fatal duel has taken place at Turin, between two young men of high family in Naples, Signor Giordano having wounded Signor Balsalmo for having spoken disrespectfully of the house of Savoy. The former received a day or two after the Cross of the " Crown of Italy." When such direct encouragement is given to the practice, we cannot wonder at its frequency. M. Pasada Herrera, the unrecognised Spanish Ambas sador, has left Rome for Madrid, to take his seat in the Cortes. The members of the Orleans family have, it is said here, remonstrated strongly with the Duke de Mont. pens i er against placing himself in candidature for the crown of Spain, as they anticipate for him the fate of Maximilian. The Comte de Paris has written very affec. tionately to Queen Isabella on the occasion. Don Alfonso, the brother of Don Carlos, who is a pri vate in the Pontifical Zouaves, has left for Paris cn cony& lie will return for the marriage of the Duke of Parma, which takes place immediately after Easter in the Sextine Chapel of the Vatican, with Princess Pia of Naples, sister of Francis 11. The Congress of Freethinkers is solemnly convoked for the Bth proximo, in Naples, by Deputy Ricciardi. A telegram from Dublin states that the coffin and corpse disinterred a few days since in Westmeath have been found at the bottom of a lake. Stones bad been placed in the coffin to sink it. Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Family, and the Court are, it is understood, about to go into mourning for the father of his Royal Highness Prince Christian. Her ➢Majesty will hold a Council at Winthor Castle on Wednes day next. The testimonial subscribed for by the admirers of Mr. Roebuck in P,heffield will be presented to that gentle man on Friday next by Mr. Alderman Fisher. The largo Banqueting Hall of the Cutlers' Company will bo used for the occasion, and the Master Caner (Mr. Mark Firth) will preside. In connection with the recent elopement in high life, it is stated that the Marquis of Waterford has caused a communication to be made to Captain Vivian, that when the Judge Ordinary of the Divorce Court shall hive dis solved the legal ties which now prevent his marrying Mrs. Vivian, he will, as a man of honour, make her the only com pensation in his power. 2 --e----r_----'--z-_-e__-•ciz-7 .-
