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 B r it ann i a Fi re 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 MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 I , ngest 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 bo 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 unchalleograble on any vrouud 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 now business of anv office in the Kingdom.

DEPtiTY-CHAIRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Ant ual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 : 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. 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 SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES -may , be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay_ able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF AlMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

COrgE, §ek2 4atee3l-tatreet Qkoaßside. According to the Italian papers, the Republican plot at Milan was destined to break out on the morning of the , 18th. On the preceding n i g ht b om b s an d arms were to b e y distributed to the affiliated. Some of these were recruited in the ranks of the 21st Regiment of the Hussars of Piacenza. " With much sagacity," the authorities dis covered a large deposit of arms in the house of a cook and lodging-house keeper. Here was found the plan of attack and the documents. Another centre of the plot was found in a house at Vier ziere. Some persons greatly compromised were arrested there , and amongst others two men who had arrived from the South only a few days before, and who passed under false names. One of them had escaped the pursuit of the judicial authorities of Naples, to whom he had been denounced as an orga niser of republican rebellion. In their possession were found large sums of money which their apparent position did not seem to warrant; one of them even offered £4O to each of the guards who had Lim in custody if they would let him jump out of window and run away. The Opinion says that twenty-four officers and 200 other individuals were concerned in this scheme. The general plan was to seize or poniard—it is uncertain which—all the civil authorities and military officers. GARIBALDI AND SF.V.N. General Garibaldi has addressed a trenchant letter to Setor Garrido, one of the leading Republicans of,khe Spanish Cortes. The Italian patriot is very sev , .tre on the policy of the majority in setting up a monarchy on the ruins of Isabella's throne. He praises Dom Fernando, and hopes that his refusal will be a lesson tathe leaders of the revolution ; that Spain will speedily be delivered from this masquerade of the frogs in the fable. To de mand a king just when the Spanish nation is disgusted with sovereignty is not very creditable to a people upon whom the enslaved races of the Continent count so much. " Is Spain so barren of great men that you must go about, like Diogenes with his lantern, seeking for a "man" over all the face of the earth ? Have you not Espartero, Orense, Castelar, and others? Name one of them dic tator, or king, if you are so partial to the title ; but name him at once, and not at the end of two years.' The letter, which is rather lengthy, contains snore to the same effect. Altogether it is a smarter and less violent ocanposition: than some of the General's late epistles. THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF WORKMEN. The wisdom of the proceedings instigated by the Inter national Society of Workmen is more than questionable; but there can be no doubt as to the extent and power of its organisation. The society brought about two strikes in Switzerland, which held out for some time. It has suc ceeded in producing an alarming suspension of industry throughout Belgium, although the workmen in this case appear to have been almost entirely without resources. It is believed to have something to do with a strike which has just broken out at Nice. It has started a journal, en titled the People's Voice, published at Vienna, in the society, and demanding universal suffrage, a free press, full religious liberty, unlimited right of meeting, and the sup pression of permanent armies. Beyond question the society is able to command considerable obedience to its mandates, and it is not improbable that it may shortly give the industrial question in Europe a very formidable aspect.

WAN, Secretary, THE BOTAL VISIT TO THE CRIMEA. Never before, perhaps, has any scene of conflict preserved its distinctive features so long as the theatre of war round Sebastopol. The bleached bones of some warrior turned up by the plough, bullet marks on surrounding objects, the rusty material of war lingering in obscure nooks, are the only traces to be found on the scene of most great battles. But the ruins round Sebastopol remain almost as the Allies left them. On their arrival on the 10th, the Prince and the Princess of Wales found that time had ?tine very little for Sebastopol. The town still pre serves the same shattered appearance. The marks of projectiles are visible on every band. But a small portion of the town has been restored, and that only in a patch work sort of way. The docks and fortifications are in the same dismantled condition. The Redan, the Malakoff, the long line of Russian redoubts and of British and French trenches, crumbled by time and weather, are untouched by the hand of man. The royal party remained in the Crimea until Thursday. On Monday, the 12th, they inspected the north side, and visited the Alma, returning to Sebastopol by sea. On Tuesday they went over the ruins on the south side, thence to the trenches, next to the most melancholy relic of the contest, the English cemeteries, and a ride down the slopes of Inker mann to the Tchernaya completed the round. Balaclava and the more distant places occupied the remaining days. DENMARK AND TIIE UNITED STATES. The Post of Berlin calls attention to the by no means creditable bargain concluded by the United States with Denmark for the sale of the West India Island of St. Thomas. It will be remembered that overtures for the purchase of this island were made by Mr. Seward. Den. mark at first did not wish to sell, Lut afterwards she was persuaded into the lurga'n. The United States Senate has for three years neglected to ratify it and sanction the payment of the money. When the nego tiations first commenced, :aye the PcsP, Denmark flatly refused. She had just lost Schleswig and Holstein, and any further cessions of territory were not to be thought of. " The American charge ffa 11 es, Yea man ,seems, however, without pledging himself to anything, to have given the Danish politicians dark hints of diplomatic support in their attempts to recover North Schleswig, and that was of course a bait which they could not refuse." The bargain was struck ; but the Americans are now desirous to draw out of it simply because they feel certain that Cuba will fall into their hands. They object to pay ten or twelve millions of dollars for a small island when they can get a large one for nothing. The conduct of the American Government in this affair is not to be defended. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The speech made by Mr. Sumner in the Washington Senate on the 13th against the ratification of the Alabama treaty has been published. It does not contain anything new on this dreary question ; but it is a sort of official declaration that the chief grievance of the Americans belongs to the class of grievances termed "sentimental," and it is, moreover, a sort of official declaration that at present a settlement of the dispute is not to be hoped for. The material injury, Mr. Sumner declared, was not the greatest obstacle to recon ciliation. England had done America a great wrong, and yet had never acknowledged it. This is the one great source of contention between the two States. Let England begin l y confessicn and contrition, and all will yet be well. " Such a generous expression would be the beginning of a just settlement, and the best assurance of that harmony between two great and kindred nations which all must desire." Mr. Sumner regretted the necessity for these strictures upon a Power with whom he would wish to be on the best of tei m 3. This, at all events, serves to prove, if any proof were needed, how effectually Mr. Reverdy Johnson has sold us. It is clear that if we must begin by an acknowledgment of wrong, arbitration is entirely useless. All that would remain would be to assess the - damages. Mr. Sumner's speech occupied two hours in delivery. The Senate was in Executive Session, but the injunction of secrecy was removed by special order. The one Senator who voted in favour of the ratification was Mr. M'Creery, a Democrat of Kenturky. Mr. Sumner estimated the total loss for which Eng'and is answerable at twenty five millions sterling. SHERE ALI AT UMBALLA. The Times correspondent has carefully studied the per sonage who is now playing such a conspicuous part in the policy of British India. lie believes that the countenance of Shcre Ali betrays eigns of incipient insanity. But the ruler of Affghanistan at present displays no small amount of knowledge, and is by no means deficient in acuteness. He was equal to a conversation on spherical geometry, and was sagacious enough to see that the arms which the Indian Government had given him were not equal to the Sniders. Ire expressed his delight with the " terrific" dress of the Highlanders, but remarked on its. indecency. He has been charmed, like a true mountaineer, with the bagpipes of the " Skatch " as he calls the Scotch, and con siders them the finest of soldiers. But the Irish seem even snore to his taste, for, when told that that people are so fond of fighting they will fight with each other when they can get no other enemy, be shouted, " That is capital;, that is like my people ; that is after my own heart." A NOTABLE DISCOVERY. Gi T ad h s e to li ne u ,n Mail "mission " hainhgasbedeisneo,l:etoreLtpihlayt ruin the commercial prosperity of England, it would seem to be his policy in Ireland, by a brief period of reac tionary outrage, to accomplish the separation of the kingdoms." Of course the journal which believes that the removal of Customs' duties from several hundred artiAcs,, and the comme rcial treat y with France, have trnded to the ruin of the commercial prosperity of England, will believe that Mr. Gladstone is now bent upon a repeal of the Union. It is a little unfortunate for this theory that the political pazlty which the Mail represents should have themselves approved and developed Mr. Gladstone's commercial policy when they were in office, although they strenuously opposed it at the outset. It is still more unfortunate that the men who are now hoisting the " green flag " and threa tening the repeal of the Union are Ulster and Dublin Conservative Protestants.
