THIC CRISIS. Our quotations in another column chew what is thought by our contemporaries with respect to the crisis. Suilie,e - it to say here that the limes alone thinks that a rupture even yet canbe avoided, and calls upon both parties to keep cool. The Times hitherto has ! been wrong throughout in its prophecies, has j had to r e p u di a t e it s counse l s. The other ournals, Ministerialist and Oppositionist alike, con ; sider that the bill is at an end for the session, and that we are on the eve of a formidable - conflict. The Conservative organs rejoice that the I authority of the House of Lords has been main tained, and do not venture to look forward to the weeks of agitation that will precede the autumn session. The Liberal organs warn the Lords that they have taken a step which will involve them in the most serious peril. When Lord Derby and Lord Cairns refused to allow the first part of the amendment to the pre amble of the Irish Church Bill to be put by itself on Tuesday night, the House of Lords suddenly became very excited, and a very sharp wrangle on the subject took place between the Earl of Granville, the Lord Chancellor, and Viscount Eversley on the one hand, and the Opposition leaders on the other. The Duke of Marlborough, to end the discussion, moved, as an amendment to the original resolution, that the Lords should insist upon the whole of its amendments to the preamble. This new motion allowed the Lord Chancellor to speak. Ile did so with very considerable, and for him unusual, animation. Already somewliat heated by the part he had taken in the discussion on the matter of form, Lord Hatherley now described how difficult it had been for him throughout the whole of the evening to _ keep his seat. He very sharply and excitedly rebuked Lord Salisbury for his flippant jokes at the most important crisis he had recollected; he told the House that, in speaking of Mr. Gladstone as - ' the universal dict a t or , E ar l G rey h ad assumed to himself the guardianship at the honour of. the Lower House and of the members of the Ministry. " I for my part (said the Chan cellor) do not allow the noble earl to be the arbiter of my honour any more th an I const i tute myself the arbiter of his." This outburst of "resent ful indignation" (as the Times calla it) is made the subject of a special sub-leader by the Conservative papers. Th e y d enounce t h e conduct of Lord Hatherley as calculated to stimulate a " row;" declare it to be the undignified utterance of an excited par tisan ; tell him that it is his place to be calm, not petulant ; twit him with being " the latest addition to the peerage "—which, by the way, he is not ; and advise him for the future to be the "arbiter of order," which is not his office.

Once again attention is directed towards the Irish assassinations ; and once again the Irish press draw the almost unanimous conclusion, a conclusion at which the Government has already arrived, that the land laws must be reformed as soon as possible. To leave them as they are, provocative of ill-blood, dis content, and murder, would be criminal. The Con servative journals, for reasons of their own, are insist ing continually that what the country wants is a settle ment of the long quarrel between the landlords and the tenants ; the moderate papers all declare thatsome thing must be done; and the Radical journals more strenuously and most excitedly demand that the question shall be taken up.

Gd. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive 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 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 officeslaa absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cont. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

LQlldolli.E.O.:Bopttrabor ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. 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 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, 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 also be unchallengeable 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.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay end difficulty of Govvrnors' orders, is wholly dependent 'or support on voluntary contriLutions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destiatto sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

Within the last few days he has rewarded a leading Adullamite, and the near relative of an Adullamite. No one more constantly oprosed the present Premier in 1806 than Major Anson except Mr. Bouverie, who told him that lie was a leader who could not lead, of followers who would not follow. Yet Mr. Anson's brother has just been appointed by the Crown to the living of St. Mary's, Stafford, vacant by the prom o ti on o f M r . C ow i e t o a colonial bishopric, and Mr. Bouverie is now appointed one of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The first prefer ment is worth 37 - 5 and a house, the second is worth, we believe, £l,OOO a year. Spiteful persons will of course say that these are bribes to silence. But Maor Anson is out of Parliament, and a Minister with a majority of 120 need not be much afraid even of Mr. Bouverie. THE DEAN OF DURHAM. We recently announced the very serious illness of Dr. - Waddington, the Dean of Durham ; we now regret to announce his death. He was 76 years of ego. The deceased graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and gained numerous university honours. He was medallist in 1811, University Scholar and Chancellor's medallist for English verso in 1813 ; B.A. and Senior Chancellor's irpriosi_ list in 1815. He succeeded Dr. Jenkinson in the Deanery of Durham in 1840, and was installed on the 20th of September in that year. Un the death of Archdeacon Thorp, NV anlen of Durham University, the Dean succeeded him under an order in Council of the 4th of June, 1841. Prior to his appointment to the deanery, Dr. Waddington had been vicar of Masham, in York.. shire, in the gift of Trinity College. Recently the deceased gave to the Durham County Hospital two sums of £2,000 each, and a few months ago he filled with stained glass one of the large windows of the cathedral at a cost of £1,400. Ile subscribed largely to London charities, and in the county of Durham was a supporter of nearly every benevolent institution. He was the author of several worlis— one " A Visit to Ethiopia ;" another work was entitled "A Visit to Greece." He has also written en the condition and prospects of the Greek Church. "A History of the Church from the Earliest Ages to. the Reformation," and a history of the Reformation, also occupied his pen during the learned leisure of his deanery. He was an ardent Literal in politics, and voted for the two Liberal candidates at the last election. The preferment now vacant is the most valuable of all the deaneries, being worth £3,000 a year and a house. It is the first important piece of ecclesiastical preferment which has fallen into Mr. Gladstone's hands. JEST on EARNEST ? There is a sham letter in the Owl from Prince Gortchakoff, the Russian Foreign Minister, to Baron Brunnow, the Russian Minister in London, which, though sham, has too much reality about it to make it pleasant reading. The Prince writes to the Baron, and says, " I want particularly to keep that Central Asian question quiet. John Bull seems to be vaguely sniffing the danger, and we must manage to smooth him down. There is certain to be a talk about the matter in Parliament; we must turn this to our ad vantage." How that is to be done the letter goes on to say. Grant Duff believes that he knows all about the matter. Brunnow is to flatter him by saying it is impossible to take Min in, and that he must very well know that Russia can not have any designs upon India. Duff will stuff Otway ; North cote is sure, for his own sake, to swear that all is quiet in Bokhara. Gladstone knows nothing about the matter, and it will be easy enough to square him ; so that with a little tact the English, who understand nothing about India, will be lulled into fatal security. Meanwhile, the Russian Government will push on the railway from the Caspian to the Oxus with the utmost speed. When that is done it will be equiva lent to the firm establishment of Russia on the borders of Affghanistan. Shere Ali is neely, and has two hands. Persia as well as Affghanistan will become the willing tool of Russia. To ensure the success of this plan Russia must not be disturbed for two or three years. Now, though all this joking has a smooth surface, it has a sharp edge. The marvellous thing is, as Sir Charles Dine has slim'', in his " Greater Britain," that Government will take no steps whatever towards the construction of the Euphrates Valley Railroad, which is absolutely indis pensable, if we are to maintain a secure hold of India. THE PItINCI AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES. The Owl announces that the Prince and the Prin cess of Wales will not be at Goodwood this year, as they are going to Wildbad for the benefit of the Princess's health. GALLANTAY REWARDED. • The Albert medal of the second class has been con ferred upon Captain Willoughby, of the transport service, " for the gallantry he displayed in saving the life of a soldier who fell overboard whilst fully accoutred." We are not responsible for the wording of this paragraph, which means, we presume, that the soldier was fully accoutred, not Captain Wil loughby, though the mention of the circumstance seems scarcely relevant. THE POLICE. In connection with the abuse of power lately shorn to have been exercised in various cases by the police, the Daily .11 7 ews raises questions which deserve dis cussion. how (it asks) are the police chosen ? Are they appointed as theyshould be? To thefirstquestion it is answered that they are picked out for their phipiritte. The tall man, the man of broad shoulders, the man of burly physical health is given place. He is just the one to form part of a vast military machine. But men-. (says our contemporary) is wanted for a constabulary—intelligence, temper, slgacity, self respect, self-denial, and gentleness. The Daily .Veics fixes a high standard, probably such a man as it describes would hardly care to enter the police force, but the standard which at present is set np might doubtless be made higher. On the police, often, the safety of the whole community depends.
