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.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, 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 jnvited 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 pmmulgrae 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, 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who arein the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Polities, 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 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 1 mgest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, ns shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they mty he called upon to advance so as to miintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance wle3re policies are held as collateral security. It Is only neccs , :nry to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these: tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will al*, be uncluillet.p.able on any s-routni whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Ponies.

It is a very significant sign of the progress of free-trade principles in the United States that a great majority of the best journals are either opposed to protection or remain 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 who have been " bought by the gold of Britishers" 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 for advocating the reduction of the tariff. Only a few days since it most offensively and calumniously charged Mr. Wells, the late Commis sioner. of the Inland Revenue, 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 support. Everyl»dy knows that if the free-traders of America wait fur subsidies from British manufacturers they are likely to put up with Protection for ever. But with the exception of the deinented 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 YORK TO CALIFORNIA. The railway across the North American oontinent 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 ral, of the splendid tracts of country yet unoccupied in the West. But the same authorities are disposed to ques tion whether, as a!route to California, the railway will have the piefercnce to the present water way round by the Isthmus 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 be exbaustedby such labour. Then the fares must necessarily h;gh. 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, but the 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 Trrms-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 1890 at par. As they are issued at $79 per $lOO, the total interest will be about 9j. 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 Washington, 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 lines. From Jefferson that portion yet to make commences. It will rnn through Texas to El Paso, on the Mexican frontier, and thence south of the wild state of Arizona, and north west to San Francisco. The Railway News cautions in vestors against this tempting project, and with reason. The Pacific Railway now open was a sort of public work; the private companies were supported by aids, grants, and guarantees. It remains to be seen whether the American Government 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 under discussion. Until the long debate on this great question is decided nothing can be known respecting the future ruler of Spain. But the Liberty 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 for a republic. A kiav would finally dispose of the question. ROUMANIA. A mysterious attempt was made to steal the privet) casket of Prince Charles of Roumania whilst on a visit to Jassy. A Lieutenant Pitisteanu, one of the Prince's attendants, was the offender. Ile succeeded in getting the casket out of Prince Charles's apartment during the night, and attempted to open it with his sabre. He did not succeed, and by an accident ao severely wounded himself that be was unable to persevere. The casket was then}•n away, and the officer attempted to escape, 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 lliimarck 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 Onlie, 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 take note of this proceeding. The Russian Government can have no money except what has been lent it indirectly on account of guaranteed railways, but it is pledged to advance 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.
