The Directors of this'Comiany, 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 Un ch a lle n geable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n. no 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ono 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 ibsued 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 bo 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 bo 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 on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

Chief Justice Chase, according to the New York Sun, wrote as follows to Mr. Briggs :—" Narragansett, Aug. 14, 1869. My dear Mr. Briggs—Your note of the 29th, after a rather long journey, reached me here yester day. I should be very glad to see you and talk with you on any subject but politics. Dr. Bailey used to say that of Bunyan's Pilgrims he represented Christian and I Hopeful. lam still hopeful. When I was younger, and thought that if largely trusted by the people I could do good ser vice to the country, I should have been glad to have been so trusted. Now lam older, and not at all satisfied that if in a higher place, I could do any better than those now executing executive functions do. lam more content to let aspiration alone. My hopes aro in others. It amuses me to hear of Chase movements here and there. I don't believe there are any such. As far as locality is given to them, in Maryland I know there are none, for I spent two or three days in Frederick this week, and should have heard of them if any existed. I don't believe a bit in them elsewhere. If I can only perform with reasonable satisfaction to my own conscience, and to the opinions of those best qualified to judge, the duties of my present po sition, I shall fill the largest measure of my present ambi tion. I want nothing whatever of a political character, and desire that my name may be disassociated hereafter in men's minds with all political action. If this is too much to expect, let me hope, at least, that no friend of mine will lend any countenance to such absurd nonsense as that to which I have referred.—Sincerely your friend, S. P. CuAsE. —James A. Briggs, Esq." We are advised that several citizens of the United States have been refused permission to land a cable on the shores of France from the United States. The reason given by the Minister of the Interior being that a mono poly had already been granted to Messrs. Erlinger and Reuter for twenty years. The applicants have taken .nn mediate steps to notify to their Government this decision ; and there can be but ono result in the action of Congress in December—an immediate withdrawal of the provisional permission now granted to work the existing French cable. This appears to be only fair, the refusal represented standing in strong contrast to the reception given to French concessioni.sts by Mr. Fish, Secretary of State.

The idea we have formed of the Alpine tract of Colorado is a very steep wall of mountain, extend ing across north and south, cutting the Territory in' o halves, the eastern portion being of rolling prairie, and the western of high table laud, the ranges dropping away westward from the giant wall, in irregular, confused masses of mountains, which form the grandest scenery in America, perhaps of the world. The regularity of the eastern slope with the great plains at the base, stretching into an indefinite space, contrasts strongly with the ranges penetrating westward into Utah. The rivers flow through gorges in every direction ; here, roaring torrents ; there, foaming waterfalls ; then smoothly gliding through an open park. As Utah is neared the chains sink in elevation, the tumbling mountain brooks are gathered into streams of magnitude, and flow ing along wide valleys, or bursting their way through table lands, walled to the right and to the left by precipices sometimes nearly 3,000 feet in height, or rushing between hills lined above by eternal snow. The country is little known ; but Summit County, for instance, at the western extre mity of Colorado, is an elevated, fertile plain, well watered, with numerous lakes and isolated peaks covered with timber, and it is through such a coun try that Colonel Powell's expedition, for the main part, passed, so farat least as he has described. Many of our London and Paris readers ought to know the class of scenery, from Bierstadt's picture of " A Storm in the Rocky Mountains," lately exhibited in both capitals, for it was taken from among the moun tains behind Denver, and it was on those hill sides that that celebrated artist gathered so many of his studies. As in the Himalayah, what most impresses the traveller is the magnitude, the stupendous heights, depths, distances ; the giant size of the Mks, the precipice?, and the ilisignific erections of man when thus brought into jux taposition with Nature's handiwork, placed be fore him in that form wherein he cannot help feeling its most sublime impression. When glanc ing over a map of the Colorado mountains, the repetition of the name elk is not likely to escape attention. Elk Mountain, Elk Range, Elk Val ley, Elk River, Elk's Head ; and those who desire to ascertain the reason, for these are the names given by hunters and trappers, should read Town shend's " Ten Thousand Miles of Travel and Sport." After his expedition with the United States troops over the rolling prairies of Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado, he penetrated, with a party of U.S.A. officers, into the North Park, and the chase was prin cipally after the elk. His description of the Alpine scenery is graphic, which he gives iu connection with the sport, although Indians at the time being on the move, had so disturbed the game that they had in a measure cleared the valley, which he represents as quite flat, about 30 miles long by 15 broad, covered with a nutritious grass, but without a tree. The lower portion of the hills, which rise abruptly around, are however densely wooded, and in these forests the frightened game s-ek shelter. The de struction of the elk is so pitiless that the animal must soon cease to exist. Gazing into a deep canon that sportsman saw the skeletons of 26 bleaching below ; 27 had been driven into that trap, from which as there was no exit, only one of the herd escaped, while the waste is shown by the fact that the hunters, leaving the entrails, found the animals when they returned next day in a state of putrefac- ion and useless. The recent excavatioris of the East London Water Company have led to the dis covery of bones which prove that the elk as well as the reindeer inhabited the forests around Looddn, but now Colorado is their nearest haunt. There seems to be a doubt whether the elk has ever been discovered fossil in France. But Professor Owen remarks that we owe to Julius Caesar the valuable record of both the reindeer (Bos Cervus) and the elk (Alces) in the Black Forest and conterminous parts of Germany at the period of his campaigns. Herds comprising vast numbers were seen by Cap tain Townshend in Colorado, as well as numerous antelope and bears, besides a great variety of smal ler animals and birds. Among the bears the grisly still holds a formidable place, though he is not often encountered. Solitary parties of huntsmen may be met with, wearing fringed hunting shirts of buckskin, with home-span trowsers tuckel into strong hunt ing boots. These parties frequently conad into col lision with Indians, but the regular Indian inhabi tants of the mountains of Colorado, the Utes, are far from being a formidable class. A correspon dent writing to the Sprinfeld Republican from Denver, on the 16th August, spoke of a large ga thering of them then encamped on the bluff above the city. Some of their chiefs had on that morning arrived with a bunch of scalps torn from the heads of hostile Indians of the plain, and the tribe fol lowed the scalps of their enemies through the streets, shouting a song of victory to the accom paniment of drums, winding up the evening with a scalp dance. They do not, says the correspon dent, look at all bloodthirsty, though they steal and beg " till you can't rest." This is a sort of cant phrase in Colorado. " I asked an old settler if raspberries were plenty, to which he replied, " Oh, raspberries, till you can't rest." A young lady, speaking of another girl about to be married, ex claimed, " Oh, you should see her outfit ! dresses and dresses, till you can't rest !" But the days of the bearded Nimrods who swallowed their raw whisky to the Indian salutation of " Hough" are numbered, for their solitudes are 'being invaded, and the scenery which Bierstadt sketched will soon be familiar to both American and European eyes. Already the American tide of travel seta that way. Numerous parties seeking both health and pleasure were within the Alpine range when the correspondent wrote, among them Miss Green, the distinguished modiste of Springfield, who intends still further to improve her taste by extending her trip even to the Sandwich Islands ! Vice-President Colfax and a large party, among whom are Mr. and Mrs. Bowles, General Schofield and a party of military men, Mr. Beach, formerly of the New York Sun, and many others, besides the Hayden and Whitney scientific parties, were also in the moun tains. But they are only the pioneers, for Denver will shortly be connected with the Eastern States by two lines. The Kansas Pacific, open to Sheridan, will soon be finished to Denver, and from Denver to Cheyenne, where it will connect with the Union Pacific; the work will be completed by the Kansas Pacific and the Pennsylvanian Central Compa nies, by which means they will make their through line complete from Philadelphia by St. Louis to Denver, the Parks of Colorado being thus brought within visiting distance of London. The corres pondent says, " Thus there seems to be a sure prospect of the development of this rich terri tory, sound and healthy, if not rapid. There are great chances for farming and stock-raising, for the manuficture of woollen goods, and the mak ing of iron and its manufacture into iron goods. The ores, the coal, the rich lands, the unlimited pasturage, the abundant water power, are all here, and all in the right places. I cannot doubt that eastern capital and enterprise will hasten to im prove these great opportunities so soon as these railroads are built." The attractions of the " Al pine range of Colorado, which has been likened to the hump on the camel's back in reference to its position in the Alpine system of America, are a fine ' exhilarating healthy, moun tain climate, with rich valleys of great fertility, producing all that can be grown in Europe ; scenery so surpass ingly beautiful that it will draw to the region the travel of the world ; as well as extraordinary mine ral wealth and hidden stores of other kinds. The drawbacks, besides those inseparable from mountain ranges, are the want in common with all that divi sion of the continent of regular rains, and the con sequent necessity for irrigation ; together with the periodical plague of grasshoppers. Kansas is rapidly filling up, but there are attractions to many emi grants which will induce them to pass by the genial fertile level lands of the " Bleeding" State for the Alpine region. and if the foot of a Swiss or of a Ilighlanaer there on his native heather, it would, at any rate, be on a grander hill side than that whereon he had been born. An American paper remarks on Powell's expedition :—" It is worthy of note, that while one party of our young men has been attracting the world's attention in a rowing match abroad, another has been performing an unparalleled voyage through the great Colorado canon at home. Future generations alone will be able to estimate aright the comparative value of these achievements."
