ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon, 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 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 etniuin 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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. Tho 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 held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable 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 tho Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. lIENRY IJARBEN, 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 V0R,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1807, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. Od. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT. 30Tir JUYE, 1868.

The total i ncome of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by--viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. 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 £46,070 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. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows LIABILITIES.

On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies.

Port man-square, to whom commuricaons may One of die most notable articles in the Cornhill is that on the Civil Service. Many years ago a commission under took to consider the state of this service, and came to the conclusion that its organisation was far from perfect. On many occasions afterwards the subject was brought before the House of Commons, and a select committee was appointed to investigate the matter. The 'complaint that is urged against the present system is that it does not tend to encourage exertion or to develope intellect. " Good men are kept down in the junior class for twenty-fivi years waiting for vacancies in the superior class." Some of the suggestions which are made here are very good, especially that which points to a more judicious division of labour. It is must desirable on every account that a line should be drawn between the intellectual and the mere mechanical work. The system of promotions is also at fault, and the defects in the present arrangement may be seen by the fact that it requires twenty years' service to attain a salary of £4OO. The consequence of all these drawbacks is that the able, the ambitious, and the energetic are alike dissatisfied, and the service suffers from their depression. Many of the remedies which are here proposed seem likely to meet the exigencies of the case, and it is only strange that the sepa ration of the intellectual from the mechanical duties of the service should not have been resolved upon before. There is an abundant supply of fiction in the pages of this magazine. " That Boy of Norcott's "is brought to a conclusion, and the hero finds himself at last in the posses sion of his old place in society, from which he had been banished by the caprices of his father. " Lettice Lisle " meets with some more remarkable adventures, and her visit to the old cathedral city is described in a most inte resting style. "Put Yourself in His Place" is the beginning of a story by Mr. Charles Reade, which bids fair to be an exciting one, and records some dark details of the trades unions. " Railway Signal ling " is the title of a paper that contains a good deal of information. The part which will attract the most attention is that referring to the Abergele acci dent. If the " block-system" had been in rise on the Chester and Holyhead Railway, that lamentable occur rence would not have taken place. This system is enforced on the South - Eastern and South Devon Railways, and has been found to work most successfully. Its object is to preserve an interval of space be. tween the trains, and it takes its name fr om the railway being - divided into " blocks" or divisions, by signal-boxes, which are placed in communication by means of the electric telegraph. " Military Administra tion " is an article that well deserves attention, and takes a comprehensive view of the subject. It must be observed, Eci*ever, that the writer hardly forms a just estimate of the responsibility of Parliament. He steknOwleageethitt the present system is doomed externally and internally, and that a new one must be created forthwith. "Some Remarks on Travelling in America" are written in an entertaining manner, and present some graphic pictures of Transatlantic life and scenery. The Art Journal is- particularly readable. Professor Ansted leads off with an article on the `Volcanic Character of Italian Scenery. The author of a paper on " The Influence of Character upon Art" lays down the canon that " a bad man, a man determinately bad by choice as well as by habit, never yet did any really good work." This is conceivable enough. A man "determinately bad" would do only bad work • I imagine work for Holywell-street and the French ' picture-dealers. The eightieth of the series of British Artists, whose biogra phies Mr. Dafforne is writing, is devoted to Mr. J. A. Houston, R.S.A., known best north of the Tweed. The same biographer devotes his third chapter on the Picture Galleries of Italy to Venice. Mr. Charles Hetnans has a long and interesting account of the monastery of Monte Oliveto near Siena. Mr. Murray having treated in a former number of Kamptulicon, now decribes cocoa-nut matting. The manufacture o riginated in the following manner. Captain Wildey, a gentleman who had long resided in Ceylon, on L his return to England, in 1836, brought *ith him a mattress stuffed with cocoa-nut fibre. He found his bed most comfortable, having, among other properties, a fatal effect upon vermin. He praised it highly, and soon afterwards entered into partnership with Mr. Treloar for introducing the fibre into England. Agencies were established in Ceylon for collecting and ex porting the fibre, and it is now received in large quantities, and applied to a variety of uses, such as mats, h assoc k s , and netting for she e p-f o ld s, but' not, it would seem, to the original use of bedding. Mr. Hall, the editor se lects Cobham Hall for the thi r d o f t h e "Stately T om es of England." The selected engravings are " The Defence " by Mr. J. T. Pott, Ary Sehefrer's The Kiss of Judas'" and Mr. Birch's prize statue " The Wood Nymph." The " conductress " of Belgravia has , done wisely, in my opinion, by ceasing to occupy one-half of the magazine with her own writings. Remarkable to relate, the present number contains not a single line from her; the divorce between the Belgravia and Miss Braddon, whom we once considered all but identical, is, at all events for the present, complete. I cannot say I grieve much on that account. The fiction is supplied by Mr. Justin M`Carthy, Mrs. Cashel Hoey (these names savour of Merrion rather than Belgrave-square), Mr. Walter Thornbury, and another writer whose name is not mentioned. As for the "padding," it is of a better sort than is usual in this magazine. Mr. Thornbury tells some good stories about London actors in the old times, and Mr. Sala, taking a kindred subject, discourses of stage costume more than 30 years before Lord Sydney awoke one morning and found himself virtuous. Under the heading of "A New Game for Ladies" Mr. Tulloch describes golf, known to the far northern dwellers of St. Andrew's, and the far southern visitors to Northam Burrows. Mr. James Hutton, who ought to know about Indian matters if any one does, writes on the Central- Asian question, and says that a Russian invasion is by no means the impossible event in the future which the Times supposes it to be. It will not come off at present, and we can prevent it happening at all if we will only make friends of the Affghans, and treat our Indian feudatories justly and kindly. Mr. Scoffern, who is as fond of villainous saltpetre as though lie were a born soldier, describes, und e r the title " White Gunpowder," Mr. Schultze's process. Good Words for the Young maintains its first reputation, It could scarcely do otheriv.ise when some of the ablest men of the day are the writers. Of all strange things contained in the present number, surely the strangest is Professor Kingsley's confession, twice repeated, that lie has never seen a glacier except from a distance. He had better arrange with Mr. Cook, the excursionist, to take him to Cliamonni next summer, and he will then be within a lady's walk of two glaciers ; or, if that sounds Cockney. fled, let him try Norway, find his way up the Hardanger fjord to its head, and he will have a capital opportunity of making acquaintance with the " snow-plough," ps he well calls the glacier, within an easy morning's excursion from Odde. London Society is as light and sketchy as of yore. "With the Court at Compiegne" is an interesting account of a stag-hunt in that royal forest on the day that the Prince and the Princess of Wales were among the Emperor's guests. "The Piccadilly Papers" include a chapter on the new pier at Brighton, and reviews of Sir John Coleridge's " Memoir of the Rev. John Kebie," and Lord Campbell's Lives of Lyndhurst and Brougham. The writer of the latter thinks it may be said of both noble lords that the last days were the best days. In these last days they were best understood and best honoured. Lyndhurst was " the old man eloquent," the British Nestor, the warning patriot, the unselfish parlia mentary debater. " When upwards of eighty he reco vered his sight, and his youth was_ renewed as an eagle's. The new generation had forgotten Brougnam's perversity, and dwelt on the listorical glories of cheap knowledge, freedom of the press, the Edinburgh Review, and the trial of Queen Caroline. And of each of these eminent men, Brougham and Lynd. hurst, sundered so long by political animosities, and then united in loving amity to their ninetieth year, it may be said, as of Cardinal Wolsey, that—what was best of all— he died fearing God." Mr. G. M. Towle has a first article on " American University Customs," narrating some of the characteristics of Yale University, New Haven, Con necticut ; and there is a practical and sensible chapter on " Days at the Crystal Palace." Altogether, although it cannot be said that London Society is a strong magazine, it will bear comparison with many of its older contempo raries. - - - - St. Paurs is disappointing. Ido not complain of the quantity, but the quality is not up to Mr. Trollope's usually high standard. The most interesting paper is a review of the late Emperor Maximilian's " Recollections of My Life." That life the writer thinks deserving of especial admiration, for the Emperor had a mind open to the reception of all kinds of beauty, and a power of expression which enabled him to reconstruct his ideas and cast them into a tangible shape. It has often been stated that men doomed to an early death are wont to be visited by strange apprehensions of their fate, and that in certain moods they have distinct visions of their approaching end. Maximilian's sensitive fancy subjected him occasionally to painful presentiments, and in the midst of pleasure the sight of a churchyard,. or the jar of discordant sounds , wo uld suggest a long train of painful images to his mind. It is satisfactory to hear that the time is past when the officers of the English army were, almost to a man, ignorant of the commonest principles of the art of war. According to an article on " The Influence of Modern Improvements upon Strategy," the art is taught now at both the military colleges, though the tradition that officers of the scientific corps were not to hold commands, t . h studyhe mayo t her long kept it away from Woolwich. The future, we are told, is brightening before us. and the day is not far dis mtaankt'ewcheerntaian ofm aancawriewer papers deal with President Johnson's Last Message, w in m th b e in ß es rit a is b h ilit a y rm wi y Other Inhabited Worlds," and the Marriage Commission Report.

Mr. William Thomson certainly does turn out an inte resting sixpennyworth in The Gardener, interesting even to the unhappy dwellers in cities ; how much more to those who have an opportunity of obeying his directions, and trying the experiments which he recommends, General Adam Badean, private secretary to the President-elect, is busy on the second and concluding volume of his Military History of Gen. Ulysses S Grant. Professor Alonzo J a ck man, o f the Norwich University (Vermont), claims that he originated the idea of an ocean telegraph, and in proof of this republishes an articl , from Lis pen, public hed in the Vernwat ilftrcyry in 1816. THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS. A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent t o the to m thewithPrince perfect of safety.Nvale Mr. Benson, who holds to any this pamphlet on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly sends the appoint ment address recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser
