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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN £t 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 unfroquently 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 oonditions,.have resolved to prwutilkfite 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can - at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 kt decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain asieunt, 3C gprding t , the duration of the Policy, such annOtints being set forth on every. Policr'and rendering unnstessary 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 aro in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learkby 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 voya g ing, foreign residence, or other usu a l 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 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 WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

Sir Charles Locock Bart. D.C.L. ...Tort of the Directors, presented a the Artual General Meeting held on the 27th November 1. The sum of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was comp!eted at Premiums pro ducing .£10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was .£1.00,8• , 3, 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 band, 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. 2. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceding 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 Lift., where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred . t. 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 CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

"fi r g. COBBETT, staituy. The_ new _mode of settling difficulties by diplomatic interchanges is likely to save Europe from some of the most unjustifiable wars, but it is evident that peace can be secured only by a lengthened period of uncertainty. The progress of the negotiations between France and Belgium, like the_ progress of the Greek affair, is _dismally slow. The two disputants are still arranging preliminaries, and it is not quite certain even yet what form of peaceful settle ment will be selected. The Independance Beige, a very , good authority, says that France demands another con ference. The difficulty must be grave indeed when French dignity can be appeased only by a conference ; but as a fashionable remedy has always the best chance of success, the proposal is perhaps wise. The Eten dard, a Paris journal, which seems to be taking the place of the Constitutionnel, thinks it " absolutelycertain" that the question will be submitted to a Franco-Belgian commission. " The commission is not, howevet., yet formed, but it may be taken for granted that no foreign element will be introduced. The purely commercial question whiell has arisen between the two countries ought to be kept within its original limits." The Temps says nothing of the mode of settlement, but states that J. de la Gudrroniere has sent a despatch to the French Government, in which he expresses a confident hopo of coming to terms it's the Belgian Ministry. The French inspired organs have abandoned the style of anathema with which they opened this question, Lut they have kubwituted a patronising tone which is even more inLoltrable. The Etendard, for instance, writes:— "The French Government is now inquiring with tha utmost care whether there is any ground for the fer..rs expressed by Belgium respecting a reduced tariff of fares. If these apprehensions are well founded, the Government will at once recognise and provide fur them in the treaty between the companies." Now, the Belgian Legis. lature passed a law empowering the Ministry to refuse permission for any Belgian line to h e l ease d to a foreign company, and the proposed lease of a "Luxemburg line to the North-East Company of France is a case coming within this measure. But the French official papers ignore the law, take it for granted that the Belgian Government will, at the bidding of France, withhold its right of refusing the concession, and reduce the dispute to a question of tariff. The lease must be granted without demur, but if there be a anything in the fears of the Belgian Government respecting the fares, the Preach Cabinet will be condescending enough to consider it. Whatever may be the issue of this dispute, the whole course of it points to the suspicion that Belgium is acting under menace. In addition to this remarkably generous style of expres. sion, the official papers manifest some covert uneasiness as to the course which England might take in case of extremity. Their curiosity does not find much satisfac tion, but an article in the Post hinting that a war against Belgium could hardly fail to involve England, is reprinkd in all the leading Paris papers. The Temps thinks this article affords food for reflection. The Owl says that the anger of the Emperor Napoleon was first aroused by the belief that Bismarck supported King Leopold. This suspicion was excited by a recent visit of M. Frere-Orban to Germany. TRADE WITH CHINA. The Owl announces that a society is being formed in Belgium for the exploration of China, with the ulterior object of developing the immense resources of the Empire by the introduction of railroads and telegraphs. King Leopold, who has travelled in China, favours the scheme, which is also supported by several of the great English houses. THE MUSCOVITE IN ASIA. On the whole it seems that Russia has been self-denying in its career of conquest in Central Asia. Had the busi ness of annexation been pushed, the whole of the continent, except India and China, might have been under the swayof the Czar. During the last three years four deputations from the chiefs of Mongolia—the very large territory lying between China and Eastern Siberia—have offered to place their arms and followers at the disposal of Russia, and have prayed for the blessing of incorporation. Three deputations were received, but the fourth was an interview with the Siberian Governor—the time not being ee mo for the absorption of a country as large as Europe. BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. The question of transferring the Hudson's Bay territory to the Dominion of Canada has arrived at a crisis. The terms offered to the Hudson's Bay Company have been modified, and are now more favourable than before —more favourable, too, than they are likely to be again. Earl Granville proposes that the company shall surrender to her Majesty all their rights of government, property, &c. in Rupert's Land and other parts of British North America, which will be transferred to the Dominion of compensation for their territory and rights. It is proposed that the company shall retain their rights of trade, their stations, and blocks of land adjoining them. Besides this, they can claim one-twentieth of every district within the Fertile Belt, as it is called, these claims to I , e mado as the land is laid out for settlement. No exceptional taxes are to be imposed upon the company's property. The shareholders are about to meet to consider these terms. They cannot do better than close the bargain, for if they refuse they are certain to be confronted by a worse. The time when private companies could govern empires is past. THE UNITED STATES. The Times correspondent describes at considerable length the effect of General Schenck's Finance Bill, and the present state of public opinion in the States on the subject of repudiation. During the present year the prices of American bonds have risen at New York as rapidly as in Europe, and the strength of the upward movement is still undiminished. The London and New York quotations have alternately followed and ruled each other, and at both capitals the Five-Twenties have reached an unprecedented price. The price of gold has proportionately declined ; it is now 4 per cent. lower than on New Year's Day. A great change has unmistakeably come over public sentiment. Last autumn there was a strong repudiation party, formed of very different classes of politicians ; now, comparatively speaking, there is none. The same House of Representa- - tives that voted the taxation of bonds in July chewed large majority against it in February. General Logan, of Illinois, a leading advocate of repudiation, has openly recanted. Public opinion is decisively in favour of honest payment. POLITICAL ITEMS. The unseating of the two members for Blackburn makes thirteen vacant seats at the present time. Altogether nine Liberals have been unseated (two of them on account of informalitic.s) and ten Conserva tives.—The Owl states that Government intend to propoiethe appointment of a royal commission to inquire into the corrupt practices at Bridgwater, Beverley, Dublin, and Sligo.—Messrs. Dowdeswell, Mansfield, and Biron will be entrusted with the Nor wich Commission, and should a Commission for Dublin be decided upon, it will be entrusted to Mr. L. W. Flanagan, Mr. 11. Law (the draftsman of the Irish Church Bill), and Mr. C. Tandy. The same paper mentions that Mr. Wren Hoskyns, the well-known agriculturist, the author of " The Chronicles of a Clay Farm," is a candidate for llereford. He is a Liberal, and will have for his colleague Colonel Olive, son of one of the unseated members. Although the next election for the corrupt city of Norwich is, to all appearances, exceedingly remote, both parties are now provided with candidates in the event of the writ being granted by the House of Commons. It will be remembered that Mr. Edward Warner, who retired at the general election in favour of Mr. Tillett, issued an address in the Liberal interest. immediately after Sir Henry Stracey was unseated. Since then the Conservatives have been casting about for a can didate, the unseated member's son being among those asked to come . forward. Mr. Stracey, j un ., i h ow ever, declined, and t now stated that th e p ar t y h ave succeeded in inducing Sir Robert Harvey to offer himself. Sir Robert was made a baronet by the Conservative Government on giving up hisseat for Thetford in favour of Mr. Gordon, the th en Lord-Advocate. He is the acting partner in the banking-house of Ilarvey and Hudson, which, since the loss of prestige by th e h ouse of Gurney has gained considerably in local influen ce , and is personally popular with all cla sses o f t h e city On the other hand, the Liberals aresaid to b e di v i ded ' by sectarian and personal differences, and theca iq a , 'grudge felt by the more ignorant electors against the men who successfully prosecuted the petition fox bribery against the late member. For these reasons the Conservatives desire and are resolved to vote for the issuing of the writ, in the unlikely event of the Attorney-General's motion for a commiMion being defeated. SIR HENRY EDWARDS. The Eastern Morning. News publishes a letter which has been addressed by Sir Henry Edwards to the electors of Beverley. The hon. baronet con fesses that " his feelings are deeply wounded," for he " can truly say it is the heaviest blow dealt to him since his first entry into Parliament, two-and-twenty years ago." It is, however, some consolation to him to know that his late colleague and himself are acquittal " of all knowledge and participation in any illegality at either the municipal or parliamenttu7 election. Nothing is said of the prospect of his ever sitting again for the borough. DusvILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
