ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UY FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLNI, 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 tho 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, iu 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the disdontinuance of the assurance.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 tiompany on these points, as is the case with ordinary assuraneos. 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 with Out 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 b e ca ll e d upon to advance so as to maintain the full b ene fit o f the A ssuran ces—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.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Art ual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. —Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

The directors also draw attenoon to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

The DerNu correspondent of the Indefiendance Beige denies that the negotiations between England and North Germany for a reduced postal rate have failed because the Confederation fixed too high a figure. The English Post Office expects shortly to receive the Indian mail by Brill. disi instead of Marseilles, and in that case would require extra facilities for transmission through South Germany. But the Southern States demanded an indemnity which was thought excessively high by the English authorities. This is the reason why the negotiations have Leon broken off. The writer adds, however, that they will be resumed shortly. The question of the Brindisi route . will be sub. milted to an International Conference. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. We have already noticed the publication in an Austrian paper of Count Bismarck's despatch to Count Goltz, dated July 20, 1866. There can be no doubt that the revelation of a document in which the Prussian Chancellor declares that King William insisted upon large annexations of German territory, and cared comparatively nothing for a Confederation, must have caused great annoyance at Berlin. The Litcrte says that Count Bismarck is thoroughly exasperated, and has demanded explanations of Count Beust. But it appears that this despatch is not all : a worse revelation is to come. The Tagenpost, of Gratz, says that the Austrian Chancellor has now in his posses. sion documents dated far back beyond the war of 1866, and proving that Prussia contemplated an alliance with Italy against Austria at the time when King William met the Emperor Francis Joseph at Gastein, shook him by the hand, and called him brother. How did the Austrians get these papers ? It is said that the telegraph wires were "milked "to get the July despatch, but this process could not have been applied before the war, otherwise Austria would have been on her guard. DEATH OF PRINCE RENTSCHIKOFF. Prince Mentschikoff, the Russian admiral who plays such an important part in the history of the Crimean War, has just died. Ile was the grandson of the patissier who rose to the highest dignities of the Russian Empire under Peter the Great and Catherine. He was born is 1789, and entered diplomatic life as attachd to the Embassy of Vienna. He filled various posts up to 1853, in which year the Emperor Nicholas con fided to him the Turkish Embassy. The incidents of the negotiations relative to the Holy Sepulchre, the pre meditated insolence of Mentschikoff, his ultimatum, and his departure —equivalent to a declaration of war—are familiar episodes in the history of that stirring time. The government of the Crimea was given to him, and the destruction of the. Turkish fleet at Sinope may be attributed ,to the system of espionage by which every movement of the Turkish fleet was made known to him, He was beaten at the Alma, sunk half the Russian fleet at the entrance of Sebastopol, and declined a naval battle. His stubborn resistance increased his reputation, albeit he was regularly beaten. After the defeat of In kermann Mentschikoff fell ill, and in March 1855 was made Governor of Crmistadt. He was the recognised chief of the old Russian party, and the declared adversary of all reform. JERUSALEM PILCRIMS. The a:l;We du 3lidi announces that the Marquis of But; with many other pilgrims, both English and French, arrived at Jerusalem in time for the Holy Week, which was spent with exemplary piety. The isitors to the Holy Sepulchre are very numerous this year. Americans are in specially great force, no less than 200 having been registered by the Consul at Jerusalem in the first three months of the year. But there appears to be very little of the pilgrim proper about any of these visitors. They go neither barefoot, nor with peas in their shoes. Some of them, indeed, have distinguished them selves by a display of ingenuity in devising means for the transport of creature comforts. The two hotels at Jeru salem were found insufficient for so many guests, and a third has been opened, fitted up in European style. JOBBERY IN NEW YORK. A living wonder is now to be seen in New York. A blight has fallen upon that great State in the shape of a Governor, (Mr. Hoffmann, Democrat). who, to ow utter amazement of his own party, will not tolerate jobbery and public plunder, if he can help it. The Democrats thought they would reap a rich harvest, especially in New York City, in consequence of their success in carrying the State elections. They were mistaken. Numerous Democratic jobs have been pushed through the State Legislature, only to meet with the veto of the Governor. Most of these were grants of charters for laying down railways in the streets of New York city, and were worth immense sums. Sanction for all these schemes has to be obtained from the State Legislature, which ,like Co ngress, consists of two Houses. It is no secret that a majority in both Houses, including both Republicans and Democrats, is heavily bribed to pass these charters for street railways in favour of speculators. The competition is so notorious that members, says the correspondent of the Daily News, make no attempt to deny that they receive bribes as regularly as their official pay. One job is of special flag rancy. This is a charter conferring on the grantees a right to lay a track in Broadway, the value of which may be guessed from the fact that Mr. A. T. Stewart, who vio lently opposes it, offers to pay three million dollars for it, if given to him, and to carry passengers over it at half the usual rates. But the State L:•gislature pays no attention to this offer. The charter has already got to the third reading in the Senate, and the bribed represen tatives of the people persist in giving the right of this tramway to a set of utterly unknown men. But jobbery has a powerful opponent in the Governor, whom the Democrats themselves elected. He has vetoed smaller tramway jobs, and he evinces an evident determination to do likewise with this great Broadway swindle. Nevertheless, the Daily News correspondent cannot en tertain much hope that the Governor will be able to stem the tide of corruption in New York State, and par ticularly in New York city. Municipal affairs are in the worst possible condition. The Sheriff of New York is a notorious rowdy, and has served six months in penitentiary. He is a personal friend of a large number of roughs who fluctuate between villany and gaol. The deputy-sheriffs are all Irishmen, and mostly pugilists or ruffians of the lowest type. One of the sheriff's "friends" is now under sentence of death for the cowardly murder of a policeman in cold blood. Arrangements had been made for the execution, when proceedings were stayed by a writ of error. But had the sentence been carried out, the Sheriff's personal relations with the prisoner were such that he could not have been present, and he had provided a substitute. Almost every office under the city government is filled by Irishmen of low character. More than one judge of the Supreme Court is purchaseable by the highest bidder. Such are State affairs in New York. THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. A "formidable and well•organised expedition" to aid the insurgent Cubans is being prepared, according to the American papers, in the neighbourhood of New Orleans. Great numbers of men have been engaged and sworn to secrecy. Money seems to be plentiful. A quantity of brass howitzers has been purchased. General Steedman will probably be the leader. The Government cannot or will not take any measures to stop the movement, and no instructions can be obtained from Washington respecting it. The officials, indeed, openly hint that they will keep up appearances, but do little. And yet, if this expedition lands, it will amount to nothing short of an invasion of the Spanish colony. The latest accounts from the island are favourable to the Spaniards. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The resistance of Lopez still lingers on ; and his latest operations, though they can have no effect upon the issue of the war, are decidedly in his favour. The engagement at the bridge of Yugay, though denied by the Brazilians, was a reality. Lopez captured the whole of the picket stationed at the bridge. Nothing has since been heard of the prisoners. Another raid was made upon the town of Luque, which was taken before the B r azilians could come up in force. The allied garrison was captured and carried off. Lopez is said to have several thousand men. It is evident that if be has anything like a force he may give infinite trouble by this guerilla , warfare.
