ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, 'UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection riot unfrequently urged by parsons 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 p"otuulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons h'sitate 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 crass 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 deceasi , , when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every ptemium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 voyawing, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and • actual securities. . . _ . In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1 ugest 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 cliss 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 coll a t era l security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies u n d er th ese ta bl es b e i ng un f or f e i ta bl e an d 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.

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 now assurances aro £14,596 is. 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 : DR. LIABILITIES.

No. 10_ Foultryl.London, E.C. September, 1868. DUTY ON THE WILL OF "A MAN WORTH MONEY."—The Times Dublin correspondent, writing by date of Febuary 20, says : " The duty on the will of the late Sir B. Guinness was paid yesterday. It amounted to £16,700." Forty-one of the miners on strike at the Tinsley Park Pits have been summoned before the magistrates at Sheffield on charges of intimidation and violence. The complainant, a collier who had returned to work, was pelted with stones, knocked down, and rendered senseless. Some of the accused were identified as having taken part in the riotous proceedings, but the case was not completed. MR. GLADSrONE'S FINANCIAL SPEECHES-- Listening to him at these times as, with incomparable dexterity, he luxuriated among his figures—doing, it seemed, just exactly what he liked with them--dealing with them sportively, now and then, in a sort of " aban. don" of arithmetical vivacity—it was for all the world like watching one of those Oriental performers —those Asiatic paragons of sleight-of-hand —tossing up their gilded balls, some light as pith, some heavy as lead, and scattering among these, here and there, a whirling cl ou d of knives, catching each by the handle with unfailing adroitness, as they all passed from hand to hand in a glittering and circling maze, perfectly wonderful to see! But, in the end—after by the hour marshalling his figures thus with admirable precision, sustaining th e interest of his audience unflaggingly all the while, his voice, as we have alreeady said, still ringing clear and silvery as a bell down to the very close, his animation in no appreciable degree diminished, but, on the cont rary, enhanced, his words—gaining force and strength as he felt himself approaching the conclusion of his harangue, a fter the manner of the prairie fires—would seem at last, blle, it is hardly hyperbolical to say, i n their perfect mastery Y ar o d f all the figures he had been enumerati ng, to pour like a flame, sweeping the whole world of them before it.— Vie Gladstone Government, by a Templar.

Beaufort -buildings, Strand, London W.O —[Ad • vertisement.] /~ NEW BOOKS AND NEW EDITIONS. "England's Antiphon" is Dr. George Macdonald's con tribution t 6 Messrs. Macmillan and Co.'s admirable Sun day Library, to which we referred when reviewing Mr. Farrar's " Seekers after God." The volume now before us is a sketch of English religious poetry from the 13th to the 19th century—from the immediate predecessors of Chaucer to Keble and Tennyson. All the chief writers of sacred poetry are in turn sketched biographically, and specimens of their works are given, with notes explaining archaic words or phrases. And there is this valuable peculiarity in the book, that whereas other compilers have spared themselves trouble by confining their extracts chiefly to comparatively modern poets, whose works are both easily intelligible and ready of access, Dr. Macdonald has devoted a considerable portion of his space to the earliest writers, of whom the ordinary reader knows little or nothing. Thus instead of filling up his volume with extracts from Heber, Doddridge, Keble, and Wordsworth, Dr. Macdonald deals very lightly with those, and devotes considerably more than half his space to the antecessors of Milton. Another commendable feature of the volume is its thorough catho licity. Whether it be the Jesuit Southwell, the Puritan Wither, the saintly Herbert, the courtly Dryden, all, if they have written religious poetry worthy of being remem bered, are placed in this choir of England's sacred singers. The interspersed remarks are quite in accordance with this liberal spirit, and are marked by all Dr. Macdonald's vigour and clearness of language. Altogether this is a volume which every devout heart and every poetical mind will treasure ; a book to read at odd minutes and spare seasons of rest and refreshment of mind. Cordially do we thank the writer for having so "heartily thrown ' this, his " small pebble, at the head of th e grea t Sabbath breaker—Schism." Mr. Vernon Wollaston's Lyra Devoniensis (Macmillan and Co.) owes its title to the fact that the author is a Devon shire man rather than to anyspecially local subjects in the poems. Only some three or four have to do with Devon shire scenes. The rest are chiefly of a religions and de votional kind. There is little novelty in the ideas, but there are several attempts at novel styles of versification which are successful in so far as the lines run smoothly and the verses have a pleasant sound when read aloud. Mr. Wollaston seems to be a florist, so frequently does he take flowers for his theme. And yet surely a florist would not have made the "tufts of gay chrysanthemum " flower ing " beneath the fragrant summer showers," as he does in " The Reign of Croquet." His most successful poems are, " Dartmoor," " Florence," and " Miserere." The final line of each verse in the last-mentioned poem is in Latin, and is made to rhyme with the third line in , English. The " Lenten Hymn 'is another and purely English version of the same hymn. " Navigation and Nautical Astronomy," by J. Merri field and H. Evers (Longmans), is awork requiring special knowledge to criticise. We can give only the general impression which the book conveys to alandsman. It is a work of about 400 pages, written by two well-known Plymouth men, and appears to ns admirably arranged and most clearly and intelligibly written. It is divided into two parts, Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, and contains a mass of information upon both subjects, such as we believe has never been brought together before. We imagine that the work will become a recognised text-book at all schools where navigation is taught. REMA.RICABLE SUIT FOR DIVORCE IN FRANCE. A remarkable suit to obtain the annulment of a marriage contract has just occupied not less than seven sittings of the Civil Court of Paris. The defendant was a gentle 'man named Stern, a Russian subject, formerly a ship broker in London, twice bankrupt ; and the plaintiff, Madame Edouard Houssaye, sister and heir-at-law of Madame Stern, now deceased. The marriage between K. and Madame Stern had taken place in 1862 after a very casual acquaintance at Dieppe during the bathing season ; the lady, then named Lucie Avrial, possessed great personal attractions, in addition to a fortune of 200,000 f .; the gentleman, wh o was li v i ng in great style, passed him self off as a wealthy banker, although lie appears to have been in a very restricted way of business, and to have not been even solvent. By the marriage contract, in which the defendant's property was set down at 900,000 f., the two parties instituted each other universal legatees. At the last moment the discovery was made that Stern, who had represented himself as a bachelor, had been already mar ried in England, but as he produced proofs of a subsequent divorce the wedding took place. Stern at once began to treat his wife in a cruel manner ; the first night he spent away from her, and his conduct was such that in little more than two months Madame Stern was forced to leave him, and commence an action for a judicial separation. The husband had, however, already converted all his wife's disposable property into cash, and with it he started for America, taking with him a young German woman, whom he presented everywhere as his wife. The 900,0001. which he had declared himself in his mar riage contract to possess was only a fiction. His conduct towards his first wife had been equally scandalous. After squandering a sum of 50,000 f. which she had brought him, his treatment was such that she was able to obtain the divorce for . acts of violence and adultery. Stern, however, appears to have made a considerable fortune in America during the war as president of the Pork Committee. He returned to P ar i s i n 1806 and, by the wife, he charged her with adultery, although, at the moment at which the facts were alleged to have taken place in London, Madame Stern was residing in Paris. Before, however, the suit was decided, the un fortunate lady, worn out with grief, expired, leaving a will in favour of M. Mires. She had been very intimate with his daughter, the Princess de Polignac, and had supposed that her affairs would be better defended if confided to a man of experience in legal and business affairs. M. Mires, however, considered the succession as only a trust, and resigned his claim in favour of the next of kin, Madame Edouard Houssaye, by whom the present action was sustained. Madame Stern, it must be mentioned, had in the meantime inherited the property of three brothers who had died since her mar riage. M. Stern did not shew more respect for his wife dead than he had manifested affection towards her when living. On the evening following the day of her lecease he was present at the Opera, and on the next morning had the seals put on her property, which he claimed under the marriage contract. The object of the present suit was to set aside that pretension ; three pleas were brought forward by Madame Housaye : the first, which constituted a charge of bigamy, was that the divorce from the first wife was not legal, as Stern, being a Russian subject, could only be released by a deci sion of the Lutheran Church, to which he belonged ; the second demanded the nullification of the marriage conven tions on the ground of fraudulent representations ; and the third the revocation of the donation for ingratitude, Stern having by his cruelty towards his wife forfeited his right to inherit. The court in its judgment decided that the marriage had been legally contracted; but on the application made to have the marriage contract set aside, it pronounced.in the affirmative, on the ground that Stern had been guilty of deceit and fraudulent manoeuvres.
