A n:Rorr. de • FOREIGN NOTES, THE CECI7MENICAL COUNCIL. The Civitta Catholics contradicts the report tha' the opening of the Council is to be postponed. Even the death of Pius the Ninth would not make any essential difference, because his successor would, in all probability, carry out the intentions of bir predecessor. It is believed in some quarters that the Popc would not object to the Council coming to an understand ing with the Italian Government, so that his freedom of action might be secured, as he knows that the French occupation cannot last for ever. Monsignor Manzi, who was engaged in one of the preparatory commissions of the Council, has fallen into disgrace, and has been banished from the States of the Church.

The report of the Chamber of Commerce of Danie berg in the Rhine province skews that the vitriol works on the Rhine can no longer compete with the foreign multi factories, especially with those of England. In soda, also, English competition has depressed the prices about 20 per cent. The direct importation of British soda into the Zollverein in 1868 was about treble that of 1866, and this is independent of the great quantities of soda introduced by way of Holland and the Hanse-towns. • • ..,-, .....,t ~.o. ...„.7 - • ~, .........--,-'''ts, KINAHAN'S LL.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Offico 7 - 7 7, King-street, St. James's. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequontly 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, i n; ne 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 timo 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-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, AA a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo 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 bncine,,s of anv office in the Kingdom.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent :or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large 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 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abehurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

At the recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at Litge, a strong feeling was shewn in favour of the removal of unnecessary restrictions on trade. The heavy transport charges on the railways are a serious obstacle to inland trade, while the duties on navigation weigh terribly on all maritime commerce. The Liege Chamber is very anxious to obtain some relief in these respects, and urges that nocturnal navigation should be permitted on the canals and rivers with which the Chamber is connected. They await with impatience the completion of the canal system of the Meuse. Holland is more fortunate in all these points, as the navigation duties are lower than in Belgium, and the means of communication are much more rapid, owing to the per mission to use the canals during the night, a concession which has never given rise to any complaints. THE FRANKFORT SWISS. The North German Correspondent, speaking of the Swki citizens of Frankfort, states that the Prussian Goveru ment could not view with apathy the introduction of a scheme for evading the law. If the plan had been carried out, in course of time the whole weight of military rec. vice would have fallen on the poorest classes of the popu lation, and the wealthy would have become a privileged caste in the State. The Tagespost, a Berlin paper, asks what the Swiss have to do with the matter. They can make no legal objections to the course which Prussia has taken. The individuals who were expelled from Frank fort were acting maid fide. It is humiliating to the Swiss that there should have been a traffic made in Helvetian citizenship. The journal adds that if the exiles came to Switzerland they must fulfil the obligations of the uni. versal military conscription of that land. THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY FRONTIER. The official Vienna Gazette has published the full test of the Austrian Emperor's autograph letters respecting the changes in contemplation on the military frontier. The letters are addressed to the Minister of War, the Austrian Minister President, and Count Andrasrp. His Majesty as yet proceeds very cautiously. He only provides for the disembodiment of the two regiments et the district of Warasdin, and the detached companies the regiment of Stain, their territories being given oven with those of the towns of Wissek and Zeng, to the respective civil administrations. There is some excitement on the subject in the district, and a deputation. has come to Vienna to wait upon the Emperor pot% sonally, and learn his real intentions. It is to be hopo4 that the Austrian and Hungarian delegations will be able to come toan arrangement on the subject. The Hungarian delegation held back its report on the war estimates till some decision was taken in the matter, and the Austrian delegation refused, by a very large majority, to allow any thing in the estimates towards the cost of the military frontier. It is thought that the Austrians already regret their hasty resolution, which surrenders the whole control of the district to Hungary—the very result which they , wished to avoid—and that they will take an opportunity of withdrawing from an embarrassing and obstructive position. CUBA. Advices from the revolutionists to the 22nd instant, state that they have possession of the principal points on the coast, and are strong enough to hold them against th• Spanish. General Jordan has captured a Spanish force of 400 from Santiago de Cuba. Reinforcements were sent, but these were also attacked and defeated. The Cubans captured a cargo of slaves recently landed, and liberated them. Scilor Macias has been commissioned as an agent of the Cuban Government to treat with the Spanish authorities in reference to the acknowledgment by Spain of the independence of Cuba. Senor Macias expects to meet with General Prim at some point in France, and to enter into negociatior.s with him. It is said that the Cubans furnished the Spanish revolutionary junta with a million and a-half dollars to aid them in over throwing Isabella, and that in return for this service Cuba waA to be made independent. The purchase of the island by the American Government is still talked of. It is affirmed that General Sickles hae been instructed to settle the difficulty between Spain and Cuba, and that he was requested to obtain a final answer on the subject from the Spanish Administration. The last report is that a vessel left a northern port of the United States, destined for the service of the Cubans. BUDGET OF PERSONAL.—GeneraI Geo. B.
