EstabliFibed 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 p-omulgate 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, iu the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will becoml 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 da3eAse, when even a de fault is made in payment of the wernium. a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, b-a , ing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr^- mbuns aet,:ally paid may hear to the whole number origi nally contracted to Le paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the ass ra pee. The, assure i will thus always have the option of set-du bog either an ascertained fixd sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of witielrawinx a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being sot forth on every Policy, and rondering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the cacti with ordinary assurances. Credit.us assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this f•ature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew . se comment 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 vain , . either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Pulley issued on this plan will he without any conditions as to voyaging. foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the obiectiens before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as act nal seen rit ies. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The I"ngest 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 disc 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 s consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any vrouttd whatever. • T They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sossos an income of £215,000 s per Its position is un questionablo, and it obtains tho Imwst amount of new btkaint.as of any office in tho Kingdom.

August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WET HEICALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial pr.riod 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. 9(1.

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 officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows . Dlt. LIABILITIES.

On comparing it with that of 1867. it will be observed that further investments have been made .on mortgage and in the Governn:eut funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com- PsnY'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 row constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

The Times Philadelphia correspondent notes that the moderation of American feeling with reference to the contrc versy with England is becoming mere and more perceptible. Mr. Fish, the. Secretary of State, has triumphed over the Sumner policy. 'Themereantile and commercial classes, who would have E 0 much at stake in a war,.and whose influence is therefore so powerful, Rio i n q "it may be roga rcled :Is the settled 1,47 of this Govern ment- not to push the Alabarnacontroversy into any hostile attitude, and however restive any section of the people may be under this decision, the majority will support the Government in its sensible course." TIIE ALABAMA CLAIMS. From what purports to be an o2.icial American source, we learn the exact amount claimed by the various owners of the ships destroyed by the Alabama and other vessels acting for the Southern Confederation. Though these damages are currently termed "Alabama claims," it is hardly necessary to remark that - the depredations of the famous " f:rA" form only a portion of the injuries for which redress is sought. The total amount is assessed at rather more than 11,000,000 dollars, or about £2,670,000. The Alabama destroyed seventy ships, on behalf of which 5,271,000 dollars are demanded. Thirty six vessels and a charge of 3,000,000 dollars are set down to the account of the Florida. The Georgia destroyed only nine ships, for which about 326,000 dollars are claimed. The bill against the Shenandoah is 4,443,000 dollars, for thirty-six ships. The tenders of the Alabama and Florida are charged with 22,000 dollars ; but many vessels captured by these tenders, and indeed by the other ships, have not yet been assessed. THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN. The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige, observing that the project of a Regency for Spain has the best chance of all the combinations of the day, says that it would be attended with at least one great benefit. The Republican deputies, who threaten to withdraw if a King be elected, would be so satisfied with a Regency that they would remain. Their withdrawal, it need hardly be said, would be a very serious matter ; the first step, in fact towards civil war. IiAZZINT. The mandate of the Swiss Federal Council prohibiting Mazzini from residing ltt Lugano or in any of the cantons adjoining the French or Italian frontier, has been pub lished, It charges the Republican leader with pursuing, 'during a long course of years, a policy of hostility to the present polaical organisation of Italy ; and - in particular with planning the conspiracy at Milan. His complicity iu the last scheme of insurrection is proved by " important Apsnments.' TILE PACIFIC lIAILWAY. The unfavourable reports of the great railroad across the United States seem to have been exaggeratei. It was alleged that the line was badly constructed, that certain portions would never bear the traffic at all, and that serious accidents might be looked for. The journey from San Francisco to New York has, however, been made in safety, and but one cause for complaint has been experienced. At some points on the railway the foundations were constructed of frozen earth, which has become unstable since the warm weather thawed it. But these unsafe places are carefully passed, and large numbers pf men are employed in the work of reconstruction. The correspondent of the Standard has " done" the line as far as Omaha in Nebraska, 1,400 miles from New York, and he is disposed to think favourably of the work. This new overland route is likely to become a favourite with Lou Omaha, though but half way on the line, is tl►e extreme point to which American civilisation has extended from east to west. Beyond it lie immense regions of unsettled :ountry,tl►en the Rocky Mountains, and then the se ttlem ents Dn the Pacific seaboard. Omaha contains about 113,000 inliabitanf.s —more than one-fourth of the whole population Nebra , ka. Its twelve churches and chapels are well patronised, for some of the pews in the Roman Catholic place of worship sell "by auction "for.£3o. But this display If religious enthusiasm does not prevent manifestations of some of the most advanced, and some of the worst, features ,f the American character. The newspapers have a 7orner set apart for betrothals and divorces, as well as " births, marriages, and deaths." A tradesman in Omaha recently advertised, "Ministers of the Gospel supplied with goods at cost if they will agree to mention the fact to their congregations." A man recently murdered a negro, and was tried in due form. The jury found a verdict " Not Guilty, Lut if the prisoner is smart he will leave the State before night." The plisoner was smart. Property in the neighbourhood of the town is already worth £3O to £4O an acre. In short, Omaha promises to rival the marvellous growth of Chibago, and to become, in a very few years, the centre of Western civilisation, whereas it is now the extreme outpost on the edge of the desert. One of the largest landowners in the district is George Francis Train. That great man is still lecturing through the length and breadth of the land. His last announcement was the "seventy-sixth of a course of six hundred." ANOTHER SHIP CANAL PROJECT. The success of the Suez Canal has encouraged the French engineers. The municipal council of Bordeaux are now considering the stupendous project of cutting a ship canal across the south of France, from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean. The canal will start from Bordeaux, and the line of the Garonne will be followed to Toulouse, the constructors having the help of that navi gable river. From Toulouse to the Gulf of Lyons the Canal du Midi is already in use, and all that would be required, therefore, would be the widening and deepening of the waterway which now exists. The canal would cost about eighteen millions sterling, and might, it is thought, be completed in six years. ships troKil.,g wish the Medi terranean, and vessels making the voyage to India by the Suez Canal, would thus save the entire circuit of Spain . and Portugal. CHRISTIANITY IN MADAGASCAR. It has been several times announced that the Queen of Madagascar has been converted to Christianity. The Patric positively denies this statement. Queen Ranavalo 11. is very friendly to all Christians, particularly, adds Cfie.Paris journal, to the French Romah Catholic mis sionaries, to whom she has confided the education of her son, the heir to the throne; but she has not shewn any inclination to personally abandon the native religion. In fact, she dare not. The people of Madagascar are so pre judiced that such an act would be attended with the greatest danger. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MELBOURNE AND HOBSON'S BAY UNITED.

ROCHDALE, 17th. —The flannel market to-day was of the same quiet character as we have for for some time had to note, neither home-trade nor export buyers purchasing more than small quanti ties cf goods, fancy as well as plain. The demand for Yorkshire goods is very dull. The sales of wool, too, are slow, but prices of bjth tlle raw ma terial and goods are seady. Mr. Charles G.
