A BSOLITTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CA ALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.(5. 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, i n an 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 oven 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. 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 those 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 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 nnchallongeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDEI TIAL 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.

Blot and Gay Lussac, and the celebrated Englishman, Green, have all r, ndered good snvice to science at great personal risk and pains, and their fame is cherished accordingly. And, among our American adventurers, Messrs. Wise, La Moun ain, Lowe, and others have done oven greater things. The two first, we believe, came nearer to making a Brea journey in a direction previously announced than any toilers of the air ever known. Ti.ey started at St. Louis, it will be remembered, and came down something like a thousand miles from the starting point in a direction rather north of east. The theory on which they, as well as Mr. Lowe and others, have founded their expectations is that at a certain height above the earth there exists a constant easterly current. Hence a balloon capable of rising to this stratum, and remaining in it, would sail swiftly east ward, and presumably pass round the globe. On ar riving, however, at a point where it was designed to stop, the balloon, being made to descend, would reach her destination. To test this theory, or rather to illustrate what he considered to be an established scientific fact, Mr. Lowe, it will be remembered, attempted some years ago to inflate a gigantic balloon, called the City of Now York, in the vacant space next the Forty sezond-street reservoir. For reasons variously explained the balloon, which was to have sailed for Europe, was never even entirely inflated. Mr. C. C. Coe, who proposed to himself very much the same thing a short time after, was not more fortunate. Both schemes went into the limbo of buried hopes, and no one has since had tho nerve even to propose a similar one." The Philadelphia Public Ledger thus remarks on annexation : "The change of opinion in the British maritime pro vinces of Canada, in reference to their annexation to the United States, is very remarkable. During the Crimean war, and during the recent rebellion, the most bitterly hostile sentiments towards the people and the Govern ment of the United States were continually expressed in the newspapers, and every disaster occurring to the United States armies was hailed with the most exuberant feel ings of joy. Now, however, the annexation party is bold and active. In Nova Scotia a great number of public men and five or six daily and weekly journals openly advocate annexation. In New Brunswick an editor, who three years ago took the other side of the question, is now much more violent in the expression of sentiments of an opposite character, favouring annexation. The Repre sentative of tho city of St. John, in the Provincial Legis lature, introduced in that body a resolution declaring in favour of annexation, and in the province of Edward's Island two newspapers advocate the same policy." The New York Times remarks that, " The idea of Mr. Koopmanshoop, the great Chinese coolie agent., in visiting New York, is to take a survey of the country, in order to form an opinion of its ca pacity for the employment of Chinese labour. If he receive encouragement, especially in the Southern States, he will undertake the importation of China. men on a huge scale. Ile will employ allavailable vessels, and his agents in China will be prepared to fill them with human freight as fast as they ar rive. We may soon see the insetting of a Mon golian tide, which is capable of rising to any con ceivable magnitude." The Richmond 11 7 hig states :—" We havelinforma tion that 80 Austrian families from the neighbour hood of Vienna are coming to settle near Richmond. They have already disposed of their effects in Austria, and are awaiting the return of their agent, who has been here recently to make arrangemtnig for them. He is now en route for that country. Those already here are delighted with their pros pects. On the subject of the Sappho, which arrived at Queenstown on Monday evening in 12 days 9 hours and 36 minutes from New York, the Spirit of the gimes of Saturday, July 31, says : " The second of the American yachts, gone to take part in the nautical displays and races of tho old world, has sailed. On Monday list the Sappho took in coal, wood, and water at Hoboken, where sh© lay at anchor. A large party of the friends and relations of herowner, Mr. Douglas, went on board, for the purpose of accompanying the yacht and her officers and crew to Sandy Hook. A dinner was given, but the wind came out east, and the sailing of the yacht was delayed. Some of the guests were thus pre vented from the intended leave-taking. The yacht was towed down the harbour, and anchored inside the horse shoe, to wait for a fair wind. Among the company were Charles H. Haswell; James E. Lawrence, editor of the Californian Golden Eagle ; Cornelius Lawrence, Captain E. A. Lawrence, F. B. Aspinwall, R. J. Aspinwall, William Corry, the Rev. Mr. Callagher, Samuel Irving, James Bor chett, Alfred Borchett, Greenville Kane. Among the ladies present were Mrs. Aspinwall and Miss Maxwell, the aunts of. Mr. Douglas. The gentlemen to sail with the Sappho's owner were J. Greenville Kane, Henry C. Badcock, and Capt. Silvestor L'Amy. The officers are George M. Day ton, sailing master, who sailed the Fleetwing in the race of 1866, first officer, 6'. M. Anderson, and navigator, John W. Almy. The yacht has three quartermasters, a boatswain, two cooks, two stewards, and 11 men before the mast. After the banquet Capt. Lawrence made a neat speech. The Sappho sailed on Wednesday morning, and passed the lightship at 25 minutes past 6 a.m. She had a good wind from the west-south-west, and ran off at the rate of twelve knots." The Anti-Slavery Standard remarks : "Assassination for opinion as frequent as ever—loyal men flying or hiding for safety, while rebels are firing salutes under Confederate flags in Southern capitals ! It is a King Log with a paper sceptre that suits in the White House ? We were told that if we made a soldier Presi dent we should have a strong Government, full of de cision ; one that could not be bullied. For all we have seen in four months, we might as well have had in the White House clumsy James of England, who always fainted at the sight of a sword. Gloomy prophets feared that under Grant we should have a coup a"etat, and that he would take possession of the Government. Thus far it seems more likely that Beauregard will make a coup d'etat, and take possession of Grant. The Springfield Republican says:- 1 "The Pope is slow about appointing a successor to Bishop Duggan of Chicago, who is now hopelessly insane. Many wish a national Catholic Church established, so that the United States may no longer be treated as a missionary field, nor the appointments made at Rome. The property of the Church has been sadly mismanaged, and is very heavily mortgaged." Frank Leslie repudiates Canada in exactly the same way as the Fox repudiated the Grapes:— " Except as regards Cuba, this paper, for ten years at least, has favoured no scheme of territorial aggrandise ment. It has brought some maledictions on its head by scouting the possible solicitation of Canada—the New Dominion,' we believe, the abortive thing is now called• — for the honour of admission into the Union. We have had shot on our shores enough incongruous rub lab, without bringing in the squalid hyperboreans. Enough nigger, Irishman, German, and Chinaman to digest, without imperilling health still further by the deglutition of the creature called Canuck.' But we do sympathize with the Canadian—we suppose we must say New Dominion'—desire for independence ; for an autonomy. Mainly because the present relation with Great Britain, while it is useless for any purpose of pro tection, defence, or profit, keeps Canada and the United States apart, and from establishing those intimate relations which, while indefinitely deferring political union, would foster common interests, without involving common respon sibilities. A common language exists ; a common currency, denominatively at least, exists ; religion is scarcely less diversified in one country than in the other—att time ie needed is perfect reciprocity in trade and a common tariff, to make a perfect unity of interests, and establish perma nent harmony, We de not doubt that any proposition for the annexation of Canada would be voted down, by the people of both countries, ton to one ; nor have we the slightest doubt that independent Canada could make such terms with the United States es to secure every privilege any State possesses, without assuming any of the heavy responsibilities the events of the last eight years have en tailed on the Union. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 1710. per Ll sternly. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£.2 res. 100. per ounce for standard. gold, it appears that gold at the above price is the same in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 6:1 days' sight was on the 16th inst. 109; per cent. At this rate thero is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
