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 premintns paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management aro loss than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslest absorbed by the company.

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 absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallangeable. 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 confirm; 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 ou 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 311111 in respect of every premium paid, Iv a: in;.; the Sallle propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr , - !Moms act,:aly paid may hear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important alvantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assure ! will thus always hive the option of ret ,in ing either an ascertainc,l f1x.,1 sum payable at decease, or, in en se oF nerd, (,f withdrawintr a certain amount, cc cor,linz t the duration of the Policy, such antounta 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 l 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. 3n 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 hell as eollatentl. securit v._ It :s only neocssaty to add that, an a consequence of the I.olfe:es nudor these tablos belmy, onrorfoitahle an , l uncon ditional, they will al.) he unchalletzeable on any `:round whatever.

Among the many =livers:ries wide, have en livened dawning summer in New York, the meeting of the American Equal Rights' Association holds a conspicuous place; for it was there that the charn p:ons of women's rights kept the lists, and did valiant battle against all comers. When triumphant ! on their own ground they turned upon each • other, and, as might be expected, the battle raged ino..t 1 fiercely around the standards erected for dress. In deed we may safely predict that the woman's rights question w ill be shivered ou that rock. Mrs. STAN ton proclaims the dress of the day to be " an inven i tion of the devil to befool and belittle worn In ;" and 1 she believes " the supremely ridiculous idea that a 1 woman was made like a churn on castors is fast ! passing away, and that she will soon honour the bifurcated g trinents." This Miss OLIVE LOGAN, the pretty little ex-actres , , who condemns the stage as inconsistent with feminine purity, disputes in a style as telling as it is amusing, expressing these sentiments, as she always does, esetempore—" I re ject the trousers with contempt and scorn. Men eat a sufficiently ridiculous figure in them them selves. The trouble is, they don't like their owu costume, and are envious of our laces, jewellery, frills, and dresses. ' Trousers, forsooth, trousers?' Shake not the ridiculous garments at me. No, so long as we can have our silks, satins, and shawls, we will repudiate your absurd bifurcated unwhis perables. Look at your swallow tail coats, stove pipe hats; and you wear your hair so short, some of you, that you look precisely like monkeys, and I don't wonder that one of your number has written a bookshowing that animal tobe the father of his race." But Dr. MARY WALKER takes the foremost rank of all the young ladies now "on the rampage," as she has been " running a-muck " among the office . holders. We were under the impression that NI aes scorned place ; that her profetsional acquirements were to her an ample income ; but in quest of a post she has hit at every Secretary of State, even at the PnEsident himself. In her last dash at the Com missioner of Patents she was intercepted at the office by the wife of General GAINES. She had just de posited with Judge METCALFE a written application for the situation of librarian of the Interior Depart ment held by Mr. Druog. While she awaited the Commissioner Mrs. GAINES appeared on the scene, who eyeing MARY, said, "Is this Mrs. Dr. MARY WALKER?" Now the prououn this, certainly if " thing" be added, might well fire the female heart ; but we can testify to the calm self-possession with which the lady faces even a noisy mob, and the ac knowledged h3r identity with a smile. " Allow me," said Mrs. GAINES, " to give you a piece of advice." MARY, who knew s'ae charged for her own advice, male the proviso that it should be given gratis. When Mrs. GAINES assured her she would m Ike no ch urge, Dr. Mary WALKER intimated her readiness to hear, whereon Mrs. GAINES said, "My advice is to go home and pull off those breeches at once, and not disgrace your whole sex by wearing them." After a little sparring, the la ly coatinue 1, " Yoa are injutiug yourself by dressing so. Had I pa', on breeches I shoul I never have succeeded in esta')- lishing my rights. I never put on breeches —no, not even my hashaid's, and with the blessing of GOD I ne7er will." On which MART remarked, " You may not dress in this costume, and yet dress as unbecomiagiy in some other garb. You we it feathers ail flowers in your hair, while tiler,: is no thing of the kind to be seen about mine." The argumeot waxed warm, and the clerks and visitors crowded around the combatants ; nor can we s ty to what extremity the contest might have been carried had not the bell struck and the ladies separated. Nor have the women's rights women and others come to loggerheads on the subject of dress only, for the champions have shown a disposition so tyrannical and pretensions so excessive as even to rouse the much-suffering biped—man. Mr. S. S. FOSTER ha I the temerity to appear oa the platform in opposition to Mrs. STANTON, at a meeting presided over by that lady. She heard him out so long as he confined him self to "hauling her over the coals ;" but when he presumed to aceusa Miss ANTHONY of falsehood, then she was aroused, and M-. FOSTER was suppresse I, but, to do him justice, with difficulty. In the after no .m session of the Woman Suffeage Meeting at the 1 Academy of Misic in Brooklyn, MINNIE .111.:P.rox createdasens tti on, being a veritab!e madwoman. She broke in on L',7(.:RETIA MoTT, silo sting to the au hence with stentorian voice that all on the platform had conspired to prevent her from speaking. A 3 u 'thing could dissaa le her from adlreszing the meeting, Mr. STUDLEY brought in a policeman; but the people who, in the first instance, had hissed her, demanded that she should be heard, when the policeman, on Mr. STUDLEY'S peremptory order, proceeded to drag her from the stage. MINNIE held it to be the duty of Government to take care of women ; and if this resolves itself into one-half, the community taking care of the other half, we agree with her, for it but comes back again into the men taking care of the women as of old ; narrowed, this appears also to be Dr. MARY WALKER'S idea, who holds that it is the duty of the Govern ment to take care of a woman. In these proceed ings poor GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN has come " to grief," as he has been thrown over by the Revolu tion, which took in lieu of him a large number of subscribers ; a bribe the full force of which we are in a position to estimate. The Woman's Bureau is in working order, and its handsome rooms are now filled on reception nights with the elite of New York. For instance, on the 11th May, a writer describes the line of carriages as equalling that fill ing Irving-place on a Parepa-Rosa night —very elegant cards inviting, very elegant women receiv ing, very elegant talk entertaining, and very ex quisite music charming the company. A wealthy lady, Mrs. PHELPS, bought the premises, furnished them, and lets them in apartments for the special service of woman's work. The Revolution hires the lower room, SOROSIS occupies a committee room, the Working Women's Protective Union finds harbour age there, and the Woman's Rights' Association a habitation and a name. A lady becomes a mem beron the annual payment of $3. The idea was suggested to Mrs. PHELPS by the failure of a woman artist, to rent a studio in the building op posite, the Young Men's Christian Association, where she was told no women would be tolerated. A change is coming o'er the advertisements of our lecturers and orators. " Pretty Miss CozzEsis speaks to-morrow at STEINWAY'S" is now the announce ment. An inflential paper observes—" The even ing's exercises were closed with . a racy speech by Mrs. LIVERMORE, editor of the Chicago Agitator." A leading delegate to the New York Woman's Rights' Convention is called the " most brilliant talker in the country." But this does not embrace the whole change, for the altered state of things is giving rise to complications not inaptly expre.,sed in the following extract :—" Miss JONES, Postmistress at Winterset, lowa, recently married Mr. ALFRED SMITH. Mrs. SMITH is not known to the Depart ment as Postmistress, Miss JONES has no longer a legal existence, and things generally are very much mixed. SMITH is anxious to know if he has mar ried into the post-office, or has married the post office out of the family." _ - [ADVERTISEMENT.] Dyspepsia (Indigestion), Constipation, Debility, Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, stomach, and liver complaints in every stage, are only aggravated and accele peaslesps, Proved by rated by drugs of every description, but pe rfectly curable by Du tßahorgaisnhdesaolfthea-resesstowrihnigehßheavaatnetna A co ra os b i ica grd h 5, Food, —cough. asthma, also diarrhoea, hiernorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliou sness, fevers, sore throats, diphthe ria, catarrhs, colds, influenz a, noises in g thet eria, neuralgia, head and es,rs, rheu matism, gout, impurities, eruptis,ys irrita bility, sleeplessneFs , acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps spasms, nausea, brenchi and sickness, even in t pregnancy or at sea, elnkin*t ti is, h scrofula, tightness q uote a few. e ope's health restored by of the chest, pain s at the pi o . f the s r tomac f and between the shoulders, We Du Barry's Food.
