A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. 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 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, in 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- Ow.a of tuireittliti Oil 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 boar 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure] 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 issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaeing, 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 be called upon to advance so as to maintain the fall 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 uuforfeitable 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 business of any office in the Kingdom.

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 red uc ti on , too, appears in the amo un t 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.

IsT9, 10joultryl London, E.G. Ooptwalnr I§o. EASTERN EUROPE. The Cretan refugees are being taken back to their native island in such numbers that the means of transport have become insufficient. The Greek subjects who left Turkey when the ultimatum of the Porte was sent to Athens are returning also en anasse. The Greeks abhor the Turks, but they find their territory very advantageous for business purposes. The new Greek Ministry, too, is doing as well as can be expected under the worst of circumstances. T! o last traces of the late quarrel arc disappearing FRANCE AND BELGIUM. The LibertC•, after a period of comparative restraint and silence, at length comes out with one of those alarmist articles by which M. Emile de Girardin delights to create disquietude on the Bourse. M. de.Girardin denies altogether the assurances of the official papers that the Belg'u n railway affair is progressing peacefully. The Are,: r National has stated thlt Belginm is decisively resolved not to recognise the Convention between the Luxemburg and the East of France Companies. This statement the LeberM holds to be correct ; but whilst the former journal can form no other conclusion than that the French Government, having made another mistake, must beat a retreat, the LiberU furiously assertsthat France can retreat no more. If Belgium had preserved her freedom and neutrality, perfect concord would have been maintained between France and her weak neighbour. But Belgium, according to M. de Girardin, has sold herself to Prussia, and is manifesting persistent hostility to France as a con sequence of the bargain. It is not a question between Paris and Brussels, but between Paris and Berlin. The Belgian Government must recognise the treaty between the railway companies, or, if it decline to do so, a French army must march across the Sambre. The Libert4 does not explain what profit Belgium could look for in such a bargain with Prussia, nor does it state for what price the smaller State has agreed to incur the hostility of France, knowing, as the Belgian Government must know, that in these affairs the weaker party inva riably suffers. M. de Girardin has been unfortunate of late in his bellicose prophecies, but a certain amount of justification may in this case be found in the fact that the negotiations, however peaceful, are miserably slow. The official papers of Paris continue to assure us that the dispute is en roie d'apaisement, but this voie crapaisement seems to realise the idea of the long lane that has no turning. The French Ambassador at Brussels has returned to his post, and has presented a proposal to the Belgian Government, which has responded by s counter proposal. The ll:dependance Beige states that the views of the two Governments are still widely divergent, but hopes that they will be reconciled before the end of the week. The French Government desires that the question should ba discussed upon a basis more comprehensive than that proposed by the Belgian Ministry. The two Cabinets are agreed that a mixed commission should have the settlement of all controverted disputes. The French journals publish nothing to justify the gloomy forebodings of the Libertt, but they have no information relative to the present state of the negotia tions. Much divergent statement is still current as to the vrecise points of difference. SPAIN. Strange as it may appear, the account of the riots in Spain is the most satisfactory news that has been received from that country for some time past. The attitude of the Republican party in the Cortes had previously given rise to much apprehension. The minority undoubtedly strove to compensate for its small proportions by the vigour of its opposition. It assailed the Government on every practicable question, and it has been even feared that in case of a king being elected, the Republicans would with draw from the H u-e and commence a civil war. These sinister forebodings have been signally falsified. During the last few days the policy of abolishing conscription for the army has been debated in the Cortes, the Government and the Republicans taking opposite sides. But dissen sion has vanished on the appearance of a common peril. Popular disturbances against conscription, the erection of barricades, fatal riots, and general danger to public order have united all parties. The Republicans have joined the Monarchists in the common cause of preserving order, and a resolution to support the Government in this respect has been passed without a dissentient. The disturbances have been somewhat serious, but far more important is the spirit of patriotism which they have called forth. TIIE HUDSON'S DAT TERETTOtT. The terms which Earl Granville offers to the Huth ol's Bay Company k are not put forward as the basis of future negotiation. Ills proposal is really an ultimatum. If either the company or the Government of the Dominion reject it, the Colonial Secretary must procure "an authori tative decision as to the rights of the Crown and the com pany, and with this object he will recommend herlllajesty to refer their rights for examination to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, whose decisions will form a basis for any future legislation or executive action which her Majesty's Government may find necessary." Some fear is expressed in commercial circles that Lord Granville's offer will not he accepted at the meeting of the company. But itis clear that in any case the end of the question is at band. CAMDRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS. Mr. Daymond, head master of the Albert Middle class College at Framlingham, makes a complaint, which appears to be well-founded, respecting the Cambridge examinations. He thinks that too great a quantity of work is demanded from the students, especially in modern languages, and the consequence is that they fail to do it properly. The report of the syndicate upon the December examinations has just been issued, and it censures very strongly the French of the junior boys. " The syndicate regrets," so runs the report, "to find the report of the examiners on the work done by the boys even more unfavourable than that of last year. Of the juniors who attempted it, one-third failed to pass, while, on the whole, less than one in thirty obtained marks of distinction." One examiner asserts that a large number of papers are sent up which are nearly, if not entirely, worthless. Mr. Daymond, who has no reason personally to complain, as his own pupils were remark ably fortunate, points out that the amount of French and German translation demanded from the boys is unreasonable. Last year the junior boys had to translate the " Histoire, d'un Conscrit," 310 pages, into English, besides answering questions on grammar and parsing, and putting some English into French. The senior German students had to translate two books of Schiller, containing 352 pages, answering the questions on historical allusions and grammar, as well as ren dering some extracts from other German authors into English, and translating some English into German. Considering that modern languages are by no means the only subjects for examination. Mr. Daymond's suggestion that the amount of work given out under these heads should be reduced one-half, is wise. A STRIKE IN THE COTTON TRADE. On Wednesday the long-threatened strike in the cotton trade actually took place. The operatives in those mills at Preston which had received notice for a reduction of 10 per cent. left work at noon. At twenty-three other firms the reduction is not due for three weeks, but unless some speedy arrangement be come to, the operatives employed in them will also strike. Some thousands are already idle, and great excitement exists, though the town is peaceable. A propcsal to submit to arbitration has been made to the masters, but they have as yet returned no answer. It is thought that they will object to it on the grounds that, even with the reduction of 10 per cent., many of them would be no gainers, and that they must know their own affairs better than anybody else. OBITUARY. Major-General Ormsby, Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, has died after a very short illness. He was in his usual good health in the afternoon of Tuesday, and had ordered his horse for the purpose of going out, when he was suddenly seized with paralysis, from which he never raffled. He expired at five o'clock on Wednesday morning, at the Governor's house, Royal Military Academy. Owing to this sad event the sitting of the commission appointed to assemble this week for the purpose of considering and report ing on the propriety of amalgamating Sandhurst with the Royal Military Academy has been postponed. The death of the Rev. Samuel Edward Walker, D.D. rector of St. Columb, is announced. Dr. Walker, many years ago, offered to give up the income of his living, which was over £1,500 a year, towards the endowment of a Bishopric of Cornwall, on the con dition that he was made the first bishop. The offer was not accepted, the Church lost a golden opportu nity of extending its influence in the extreme West of England, and Dr. Walker, unfortu nately for both him and the Church, entered into building speculations in the West of London. He began to erect some fine terraces and squares in ; but, as is not unusual with amateurs, got so seriously embarrasSed that he not only lost a very large private fortune but had to surrender the income from his living. It is not stated where he died, but he had to live abroad for some years though latterly he had been residing in England. He gradu ated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 183 - Dusvri.LE and Co., Belfast, are the largest', holders of Whisky in the world.
