The directors draw special attention to the fact t.hrt the next bouns valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices .ffeetd en the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attetrion 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 establi6htnent of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend touch 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. By order of the Bonid, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, Ug cl- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENUEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon, E.U. 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 modo 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 thorn which shall bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchellengeablo. 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 cep , - eialls 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 fixei sun: in respect of every premium paid, b , a , ing the sanr3 propor tion to the total amount assnr. , l as the ntonly.r of pr^- miems actually pail may hear to the whole number origi nally contracted to to pail. Besides this important a lvantage, every porey will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the diceontinuance of the assurance. Tte, assured will thus always have the option of ret:dn log either an nso , rtalned fix-d su:n payable at d .cease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amonnt, cc curling t the duration of the Policy, su,:h amounts being set forth on every Poliey, nn•l rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these poi:tts, as is the case wish ordinary assuranees, - Ore ;it rismring, the lives of debtors will appreciate this katore as we greatly protective of Voir int,rests, and b. wi:l iii ew . se vont:newt Vs , lf to blnkers, 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 vers'olarv, of a Policy of this description. • Every Policy issued on this plan will be withou,t, any conditions as to voyaging. foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from rostrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual secnrities. lu addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of-premiums is strictly &lined. The I ,, ngest 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 cltsi as security, may always know the utmost amount- they may ho called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assuranzes—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 nncon ! ditional, they will also he unebtiliongeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Seenrity The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos s,sses an income of £215,000 a year It s p os iti o n i s un • questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new bnqin , ss of any office in the Kingdom.

COOPER, Soc. sA Queen-street Cheauside. It is a, very si,renineant sign of the progress of free-trade principles in the United States that a great majority of the best journals are either opposed to p_ - otection orremain neutral. But a short time ago Free Trade was denounced by almost the entire press of the Union. The Tribune. indeed, still remains the same savage advocate of a high tariff. It still denounces the free traders as traitors whohave been "boughtby the gold of Britisbers" to betray their country. It still spreads abroad the idea that English manufacturers have raised a fund from which subsidies are paid to American journals and American statesmen as a reward fur advocating the reduction of the tariff.• Oniy a few days since it most offensiely and calumniously charged Mr. Wells, the late Commis sioner of the Inland lierenue, and the author of the famous report which so irrefutably exposed the mischief of the protective tariff, with accept ing bribes from England. Of 'course such libels only injure the cause they are mistakenly meant to sepport. Eve.ryl»dy knows that if the free-traders of America wait for subsidies from British manufacturers they are likely to put up with Protection kr ever. But with the exception of the demented Tribune, not a single New York paper still contends for high duties. All the rest either advocate Free Trade, or remain silent. The same may be said of the provincial papers, especially those in the Western States, the latter fact being of especial importance, as the' Western States now hold the balance of political power. The Chicago Tribune, a paper which holds much the same position in Western America as the Scotsman in North Britain, has opened the free-trade campaign in the great States of Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Nor is the East idle, as witness the League formed at Boston, hitherto the great centre of Protection. FROM NEW TORE TO CALIFORNIA. The railway across the North American continent is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable engineering works ever completed. It must prove of the highest utility in developing the resources, agricultural and mine of 41.a__.ple.41;<1 cnixt,il of country yet unoccupied in the West. But the same authorities are disposed to ques tion whether, as alroute to California, the railway will have the preference to the present water way round by the Isthznus of Panama. The 3,305 miles from New York to San Francisco will require nearly seven days con tinuous railway travelling. A strong man would le exhausted bysuch labour. Then the fares must necessarily be high. The charge for the present will be about £3O, exclusive of provisions—to be reduced after July to £23. But passengers can go by sea for £lO. This is a serious difference. The Economist thinks the railway is certain to be of immense service, butthe promoters cannot-yet expect much of the passenger traffic from New York to San Fran cisco, still less the through traffic from Europe to China. ANOTHER PACIFIC RAILWAY. A project for a second Pacific railroad, to be called the Tans-Continental Memphis, has been started. This scheme seems to have been matured in Paris. Bonds to the value of 3,800,000 dollars have been issued, and are said to be taken up very freely. The bonds purport to bear interest at 7i per cent., and to be redeemable in IS9O at par. As they are issued at $79 per $lOO, the total interest will be about 9.j. It is affirmed that - the bonds will be secured on lands granted to the company on each side of the railway. From drawings of the line in the French papers, it appears that it will run through the Southern States—from IVashington, through Virginia, south-west to Carolina and Alabama, taking in the towns of Memphis, Little Rock, and Jefferson. This part of the railway is already supplied by. existing lints. From Jc:Terson that portion yet to make commences. It will run through Texas to El Paso, on the Mexican frontier, and thence south of the wild state of Arizona, and tenth west to San Francisco. The Raitiray .fens cauticns in vestors against this tempting project, and with reason. The Pacific Railway now open was a nort of public work; the private c. , mpanies were supported by aids, grants, and guarantees. It remains to be seen whether the American Covernment is prepared to encourage a second under taking of the kind. SPAIN. The'fundamental article of the Spanish Constitution-- the 23rd--providing for the form of Government, is now wider discussion. Until the long debate on this great question is decided nothing can be known respecting the future ruler of Spain. But the Libcrtci has reason to believe that the project of a regency under Serrano, with Prim at the head of the Ministry, is likely to be adopted. If the motion to establish a republic be rejected, the Republicans will support the regency scheme as avoiding the immediate nomination of a king, and therefore post poning, the final settlement of the form of Government. A regency would still leave a chance fora republic. A kiap. would finally dispose of the question. ROUMANIA. A mysterious attempt was made to steal the priva`o casket of Prince Charles of Roumania whilst on a visit to Jassy. A Lieutenant Pitisteanu, one of the Prince's attendants, was the offender. lie succeeded in getting the casket out of Prince Charles's apartment during the night, and attempted to open it with his sa! , re. He did not succeed, and by an accident so severely wounded bi:nself that he was unable to persevere. 'The ciLsket was thrown away, and the officer attempted to e:=cape, but was arrested in the morning. Ile then con fessed that his object was not to obtain money, of which the casket contained little, but to abstract some very important confidential letters from Count Bismarck to the Prince. In whose interest this attempt was made has vet to be learned, but may be guessed. RUSSIAN LOANS AND THEIR USES. According to the Russian Bourse Gazette, and the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Nord, the extensive loans with which English capitalists are so anxious to accommo date Russia are to be put to a very significant use. Both these authorities concur in stating that the Czar's Finance Minister, having plenty of money—thanks to the recent loans—proposes to apply them to con structing a line to Sebastopol. This work will be so essentially strategical that no company can be expected to take it up. The Economist thinks that investors in Muscovite loans ought to to .e note of this proceeding. The Russian Government cal have no money except what has been lent it indirectly on acco:n4t of guaranteed railways, but it is pledged to ad►•ance the money to the various companies as the lines are made. How can it keep the pledge if the extravagance of strate gical railways is indulged in? The Government ought to give an account of the application of these railway loans.
