SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN PRESS. The Watchman and Reflector indicates, in an ar. ticle on " Threatening England," a change in tb tone of a large section of New Englanders toward the old country with which they could never, unles galled and driven into it, make up their minds Le fight. On the subject of Mr. Sumner's speech tha religions organ says : " We have endorsed that speech as a statement of the American view of the subject, but we never expected thar the English people would receive it as a fair statement o' their liability for the acts of their Government. It was but the extreme statement of one party in a controversy of views designed to offset the extreme stitement of the other party. Both parties look at the subject from their own point of view ; each disagrees, and each sees that the tern method:4 of adjudication are by Will or arbitration.. Mr. Sumner has stated our claimg, now l t Eng'a-ld state her just : tication of her acts ; let a casc be made up nue subm'tted to impartial arbiters. And let the American people remou,ber that injured sentinemt has no cause for &wives in any court, save that which adjudicates upon a breacit of promise of marri.igo. Whatever we do, don't let us be maudlin. Cati,olic Europe would hail with a ilibPate a war between England and America."

TRANSAT- " With a natural incapacity for understanding other na tion; the Lon& u editors took for granted, when Reverdy Johnson was wandering around the United Kingdom, gushing with admiration for England, that he represented the great majority of our people ; and now, when they find that the Senate, by a vote practically unanimous, has eschewed Reverdy and all his works, they insist that Ame rica cherishes a deep ani passionate hatred of England such a feeling as leads a man to bite off his nose to spite his face. And even as they justified their former notion by the vinous eloquence of Johnson, so now they try to prove their case by another American, Dr. Joshua Leavitt, who is quoted as saying, ' The protective policy cannot stand in America by the admission of its advocate; ex cept as it is deemed an expression of hostility against Eng land.' We can scarcely believe that Dr. Leavitt has said anything so foolish—but if he has, he no more represents or understands the sentiments of his countrymen than Roverdy Johnson did last autumn." a.

America's real feeling is a mixed one, differing from what it was ten years ago, but not that of an enemy nor likely to lead to war In declaring in dependence in 1776 America assured England that she would be regarded as an enemy in war, and in peace a friend. It has taken the Republic nearly a hundred years to realise that assertion, and it win take England nearly half a century more, but the sooner sbe finds it out the less amazement and mortification she will have. England, to use an Americanism, is in " a fix :"-- "She has no allies in Europe on whom she can depend. She has destroyed the sentiment of affection with which the Anglo-Saxon race on this continent used to regard her, and her own relative strength, great as it is, compares but poorly with her power in the first half of this century. These things being so, the less she tries to pick a quarrel with a nation she confesses to have injured, the better will it be for all concerned, especially for herself." A BSOLITTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Ea- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, 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 invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of tho customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate tho present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. _ . The net premium income the sum of The interest on investmen of receipt yield 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 cialls 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 pi emium 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. VIII B.

They so perfectly resemble tho natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used.

The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention 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 establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much 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 Board, JOHN iIESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising, from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate Of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £16,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. 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 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.

No..lo..Poultrf London, E.C. September 1868.] 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 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 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 longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others bolding 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 groat importance where policies are held as colTataral seCurits=: It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables bolng unforfeitable and uncon ditional, tboy will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. iiiePuUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of .£215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new bugine.as of any office in the Kingdom.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser alludes to the difficulty experienced by the British Embassy iu that city, as to who in America has the power of making treaties, and what is the nature of the offence committed by Eng land for which satisfaction is demanded. It is not the British Embassy alOne to whom the last point is a puzzle; but it is to be hoped Mr. Motley knows, and will be able to explain. The New York Evening Post says the Alabama treaty creates little anxiety, or indeed gives rise to thought of any kind, in the minds of the masses. American relations with England is a subject so little discussed that scarcely one man in ten re flects on the matter at all; and we can bear out the Evening Post in this judgment from the tone of the American press, which is full of the May meetings in New York, of the opening of the Pacific Rail way, of the course of the markets, of money, and the state of the currency, the disposal of the Treasury surplus, and the tariff question. The New York Tribune, while doubting the truth of the coalition report it had received from its cor respondeot in London, remarks—. "We are at peace, and unless assailed will remain so. It will hardly do to fall upon us without a pretext, and this we shall take care not to afford. Sending in your bill fur damages endued or Fervices rendered does na justify a violent assau:t and battery. To kick Cue bearer out, and order him u-ver to thaw Lis face again is the utmost show of resentment that consists with decorum. The coalition slows animus, and the desire of the potentates to throw back the power and pres tige of the Republic, if they had a fair and safe op portunity. The best American policy is that taught by Washington, to avoid the entanglements aLd complications of European politics. "Europe snitti us little bide robust, industrious emi grants that we might not bAter do without--little that we are not imp.;verislied b) taking. Let us, then, with draw ourselves more and more from any connection with her interests and her aspirations. if we build more steam ships, let us run them to American ports, and so build up our mechanical industry at home and draw larger and larger supplies of raw staples from our less skillful neigh bours in the West ladies and on the Spanish Main." The Herald reporter has been again at work; this time with Secretary Fish. " England (he says) had her hands full already, and her peculiar territorial re lations ia America would make her hesitate before entering upon hostilities with the United States, France, Mr. Fish thinks, will be slow to enter into any such alliance while Bismarck lives, asd Prus sia stands among the first, if not the first, Powers in Europe. As for Spain, she can do nothing. Such a proceeding, in the opinion of Mr. Fish, would give rise to a general war in Europe, and end in a reconstruction of the map' thereof. Prussia would take care of France, Russia would walk down to Constantinople and settle the Eastern question in her own way. Spain would lose Cuba in about 72 hours. The State Department has no advice ,- from Minister Reverdy Johnson on the subject." The Bank Returns.
