ABSOLUTE 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 invited to as sure, that the o r di nary mode of Life Assurance is i n 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure't 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 i N sucd on this plan w ill be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other'aisual 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 kngest term provided for is twenty-fire 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 uuforfeitahle 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary.

On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867 . 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEI4.—On any Policy for the wl , ole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit.

MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT -STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820.—The System of Painless Dentistry originated by Mr. B. L. Mosely, and now recog nised by the medical faculty and the profession as one of the improvements of the age, can nowhere be obtained in such perfect success as at his only residence, 312, Regent sheet. Advantages aro: Perfect immunity from pain-- no operations—stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities : They never change colour or decay—in fit unerring —ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible--the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance re stored—mastication and articulation guaranteed. The " Times " of March 6 says : " These is no deception ; so good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Con sultations free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. FOREIGN NOTES. ENGLAND AND SPAIN. We are to nave another difficulty with Spain. The Post is informed that C(amnodore Phillimore, in command of the West India squadron, will "receive instruc•ions to require from the Spani,h authorities at Havanna the immediate release of tie Mary Lowell, an Aznericn vessel, seized by the : . .paniard s in British waters, in the anchorage off Ragged Island, while in the act of shifting her quarters from the man-of-war anchorage to that of the mercliantmen." The Post considers this ontrage of such an unjustifiable character that our only course is to demand immediate r_paration. This is true, but in some well-informed quarters it is believed that General Duke will give way. It was first argued on behalf of the Spaniards that the vessel was captured six miles from land, and out of British jurisdiction. It is to be hoped that if there be no question about the fact, there will be none about the law, and that the Spaniards will avoid the unpleasant consequences threatened by the Post by giving up the ship. We could gain no honour by a lengthy dispute with a weak nation beset with difficulties on every hand. • As elementary works, Mr. Joshua Williams's Books on Real and Personal Property are recommended.

FAN; Ooptuaber 06 8 . I MR. SUMNER ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. However closely Mr. Sumner's speech on the Alabama claims may have represented American feeling, his logic is meeting with very rough treatment from the English ; press. The demands of the United States, as set forth by him, may be very simply and briefly stated. We must admit our breach of international law in recognising the belligerency of the South, and make a profound apology. Then the amount, our liability being unquestioned, is to be assessed. By giving the South the assistance of a "naval base" in England, we are charged with doubling the length of the war. We must pay, therefore, half the whole cost of the struggle, about 250 millions sterling, and adding to this the loss by interrupted commerce, our full liability cannot be under 210 millions ! The Spectator says the legal argument by which these extraordinary demands are supported is a very poor ex parte statement of the United States' case, without even the pretence of a judi cial discussion. He ignores the point that the recognition of belligerency at sea was necessary to give the North the power of blockade, the right to stop vessels on the high seas. This recognition was even urged by some Americans in the interests of the North alone. Then nothing is said about France. Mr. Sumner throughout mixes up sentimental with legal considerations. The public feeling in England against the North was undoubtedly a great moral wrong ; but to assume that we have been guilty of a breach of international law on the ground of this ill-feeling is simply monstrous. The Government of England cannot apologise for the sins of its people. The animus against America was marvel lously bad taste and bad feeling, but it must not be con founded with an international crime. The Times similarly stigmatises the unsoundness of Mr. Sumner's logic, and the exorbitance of his demands. Sentiment, it says, has a large place in the pleas by which he opposes the Clarendon-Johnson Treaty. Mr. Sumner attributes almost all the loss inflicted upon America by England to the Queen's Proclamation of Neutrality, but in reality the whole tenour of the proclamation is prohi bition. Blockade running was not legalised, but expressly forbidden, by the proclamation. There has been no pro clamation or recognition of any sort in the case of Cuba, but the Americans none the less run the Spanish blockade. The only real evil inflicted by the proclamation was the position given by it to the Alabama in the ports of the British empire, and this part of the American grievance would have come within the operation of the rejected treaty. The Daily News ridicules the claim of one-half the cost of the war. Doubtless Mr. Sumner was not poking fun at his countrymen ; but such flights of fancy have all the effect of an anti-climax in England. It is mere waste of time to discuss such statements. We must wait fur the declaration of General Grant's policy through Mr. Motley. The Standard is not less trenchant, whilst the POI Mall Gazette is positively bellicose. It stig matises Mr. Sumner's speech as insulting and threaten ing. "We ought to be willing and ready to discuss the question of individual losses immediately caused by any act ahicti can be regarded as negligence on our part ; hut as to entertaining the question of paying general damages for recognising the Confederates, we ought to be prepared to fight first, at all hazards and dis advantages." The A ngle-American Times holds to the belief that the extravagance of the demands is but a feint; Mr. Sumner's real object is the annexation of Canada. TIIE MEETING AT I.73IBALLA. The proceedings at Umballa terminated on the sth of April. Lord Mayo, says the Times of India, seems to have performed his difficult and delicate part at Umbella to :the satisfaction of everyone. Courteous, decided, firm, and straightforward, he won the confidence of Shere Ali at the first, and retained it to the last. The terms agreed upon between the two are of course not officially announced, but Shere Ali has been satisfied, though he did not, we are told, obtain all he wished. He wanted direct interference and assistance, but in this respect Lord Mayo firmly supported the policy of Sir John Lawrence. The Bombay Gazette explicitly states that Shere Ali is to receive all moral and material support short of an expedition. A lakh of rupees, about £lO,OOO, will be sent to him monthly. No envoy will be sent to Cabul at present. The arrangements are to be embodied in a protocol, not a treaty. A FESTAL. DAY. May 12th is to be a great festival at Cambridge. The magnificent new chapel of St. John's College is to be opened. There is to be a great gathering of old Johnian bishops, and the Chancellor of the Uni versity, the Due of Devonshire, will be present. This new chapel will henceforth divide with King's the honour of being the chief architectural structure in Cambridge. THE STRIKES IN THE NORTH. The tyranny of trades unions, of which the organs of capital have been wont to declaim, does not seem to have been established over the masters yet. In Preston the millowners have already wou a virtual success ; and in all the disputes, whether in the cotton nulls, in the building trades, or in the collieries in Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire, the masters aro winning the race. The trades unions still try to keep up an appearance of a strike in Preston ; but a large number of the masters have closed their mills, waiting for a revival of trade, and those who are still working announce that they have enough men. In the Liverpool building trades the workers have so far given way as to withdraw their notice of alteration in the rules of the trade to which the masters objected. The masters, however, still demand certain conces sions; and the matter can, therefore, hardly be said to be settled. In Lancaster, there seems to be no hope of a settlement, so that a strike is to be feared. The same announcement is made with regard to Leeds. In the latter town the masters, having in view the agitation for short hours, want to pay by the hour. The men will not agree to this. A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WANTED. The Solicitors' Journal renews its appeal for a public prosecutor. The case of Overend, Gurney, and Co. has demonstrated the need of such a functionary beyond doubt; that need has been more or less felt any time this ten years. Here is Mr. Thom conducting one of the most important cases of modern times. He is unskilled in law and evidence; and having to bear the heavy burden of law costs, he is about to endanger the success of his cause by conducting it himself. The Queen is the nominll com plainant in these cases. Why should she not be the real one 'r' THE CENTRAL GAS COMPANY. We are told that very wise men will learn from other people's experience, and in that case men of business may learn a good deal from the misfortunes of the London Central Gas Company. In all under takings the terms of payment are Lsually defined, and any man who attends to his own concerns knows nearly the amount of money which should be owing at any given time. something must be wrong if the total is largely in excess of w hat it should be. If this simple test had been applied by either of the directors or the officers of the company the shareholders would have been spared the misfortunes that have come upon them. The directors were not bound to know th e st y le of living adopted by Mr. but they ought to have known that the collec tion of their accounts was, according to their books ' nearly twelve m onths behindhand. If any director of a public company or manager of a private busi ness does not know how the debt- collecting is going on in his business , we advise him to look and see, and he may learn something to his advantage.
