A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ". FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN .CIIALLENGEATILM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to en 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 Unforfcitable, 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 pa anent of 57,-;,- o minms. the Assurance will b,,eom, ferfeitod. 'l'., this c'ass of the publie the system now into , dured will espe cialls commend itself, being entirely free from 211 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, b= wring the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre minms actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to bo 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 issued on this p lan will be with out any coforeign residence, or oth er usua l freedomlim from restrictions of all kinds thred to will.be entirely rem ove d, enidtaitt objections i i o o n n s s . as and the Policies will beco me at once p ositivel y val uable as actual securities. B t to : tf ° oh yri before g r i e n f e g r , In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest 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 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 WARTED. lIENRY lIARBEN, Secretary.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the ARrual 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- clueing £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 Bouus 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 wl.olo 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. PItOMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Thkics and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTCLIFFE Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's -square, London. S.W.

Gd. 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 new assurances are £14,596 ls. 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 Tear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges Incurred in the final closing of the two offices last absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5} per cent, on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

Loudon, 8.0. September 1868. %, r~> > `/~ ~ ~..~ FORVON NOTES, Trs BEPI7DISAN CCUSPIRLOT IN rrAtt Some very definite details of the Milan plot areetiprlied by the Pungo 7 o. It appears the:, some person—who is unknown, and probably desires to remain so— supplied the first intelligence to a general of division, who of course communicated with the prefecture. The authorities at once commenced investigations. But one of the Repub lican leaders, a man who called himself Ghisalberti, and who had °lee been a major of the Venice National Guard, made off. It is not known how he received intelligence that the plot was discovered. He left behind him, however, thirty-four bombs, a quantity of p3wder, a plan of the residences of the civil and military officers, a strat?gie scheme for the assault of several important buildings, and a key to the jargon of the conspirators. Atnongst his papers were a few lines without address, recommending one Dettin as a safe person to deal with. Mazzini had given this man instructions, which were to be communicated to the Milan leaders. A list, bearing the names and addresses of a number of officers, had been drawn up by a non-commissioned officer, who has been arrested. Fifteen persons altogether are in custody. In Paris this conspiracy is regarded as a very serious affair. Certainly the details reveal a deep and elaborately orga nised plan. But the 200 men of poniards are somewhat mythical ; and even the letter from Mazzini is not milli eient, says the Temps correspondent, to thoroughly imi>lie sate him. SAUCE. —LEA. and PERRTNS.—SAUCE.

The Brussels correspondent of the Standaa telegraphs that the colliers who have struck in the district of Mons have signed a petition asking for the annexation of Del gium to France. Either this writer must have been gulled or the workmen must have become insane. If they are badly off in Belgium, they would find themselves in a worse case iu France. In the latter country the strike would probably have terminated ere now by all the colliersbeing ordered back to work. In Belgium the Government intcrfeics only to keep order. The workmen have at least liberty to do as they please with their labour. And it is gratifying to learn that, sifter the first riot, they have made no ill-use of their freedom. They will not, however, go back to work. A few have indeed done so, but a fresh strike at several collieries has made good this defection; whilst at many of the largest establishments not a single man has gone in. It is a deplorable struggle, and it seems likely to prove utterly unavailing. RESULTS OF AIMED PEACE. There is a turn in the tide of British partiality for lending money to foreign countries. The market has been so swamped with foreign stocks that these usually lively investments have become noticeably languid. The new Spanish Loan has been offered at an extraordinarily low price, and yet can with difficulty be kept at par. The last Russian Loan has met with a very unfavourable recep- tion, though Russia for several years past has been the favoured land of the investor. What is the meaning of this loss of credit ? Simply that capitalists are becoming seriously alarmed. The States of Europe, whilst proclaiming peace, never cease to prepare for war. Year by year immense sums are borrowed at increasing rates of interest. Thcre can be but one result of this suicidal policy. The bondholder will be robbed in some way ; either by direct repudiation, or by taxing the coupons, as in the case of Austria and Italy. Hence capitalists are beginning to declare that they will lend no more. THE PRICE OF AGGLOMERATION. The representatives of the small States in the North Ger man Con federation are beginning to discover that the priv l iege of being the satellites of Prus.da is not to be had fcr nothing. The North German Parliament has just been con fronted with a demand fora tax on brandy, with thegratify ing assurance that this will be speedily followed by impoas on petroleum, gas, beer, bills of exchange, and stock transactions. It is the old story. Naval and military expenses have caused a deficit in the ,North German Budget, and these taxes are to restore the equilibrium. The glory of what the French Empercr calls "agglomera tion" becomes more and more costly. SETTLEIIENT OF THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY. The Constitutionnel announces that the negotiations between France and Belgium are terminated, and that a settlement has been agreed upon. On Monday evening or Tuesday morning a convention was to have been signed by which certain principles were to be laid down "relative to the establishment on a scale of the greatest magnitude of an international service, tariffs, and in short everything relating to the traffic between the two countries." The Constitutionnel adds that these details will, as a whole, be equivalent to the ratification of the contracts with the East of France Company. Put it would seem that the contracts have not been ratified—the French company has not got the leases. The semi-official paper thus admits that Belgium has held out against the demands of France, and not, as a Belgian journal feared, covertly yielded to them. We must, however, wait for the exact truth on this point. The ?lin vention between the two Governments rotates-tmi- j - b.. 41- b 60 a mixed commisilor. PL: :NY POSTAGE LEMEEN ENGLAND AM) AMELICA, fr. Ileverdy Johmonhas placed in the hands of the Earl of Clarendon a copy of a despatch by Mr. Seward on the zul,ject of cheap ocean postage. Mr. Seward is strongly in favour of the proposed reform. Ile says : " Ti.e General Postal Department of the United States has always favoured the establishment of cheap rates of letter postage between this country and Great Britain and Ireland, The Postmaster-General is gratified that this reform is advocated by statesmen so well quali;:ed to appreciate its importance, and trusts that they may be successful in inducing the General Post Department at London to-con sent to a further reduction of the rate of international letter postage to the lowest practicable standard." Un fortunately the besetting vice of English reform is slow ness of movement. When the present convention between England and America was negotiated, the postal department of the United States advocated a reduction of the exist ing rate, but the British Government urged the everlasting `• To.morrow." Our Postmaster• General declined to make any reduction, but engaged, says Mr. Seward, "to take the subject into consideration at the end of twelve months from the date at which the convention took effect." Mr. Reverdy Johnson is also strongly in favour of a penny nostage. THE PACIFIC RAILWAY. THE LONDON SURGICAL HOME for DISEASES and ACCIDENTS of WOMEN, for the Reception of Gentlewomen and Females of Respect ability upon a weekly payment. Under the management of Mr. Baker Brown. The private medical attendants of the patients are invited to visit them, and to meet in consultation before treatment. Full particulars can bo obtained on application to the Lady-Superintendent, 18, Stanley-terrace, Notting-hill, W. ; or to Mr. Baker Brown, 136, Harley-street, W. The great line of railway joining the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will be completed within a week. The two companies, which have been working so long in opposite directions, have at length met. A junction has been effected at Promontory Point, in Mormon land ; the line is complete, and will soon be ready for traffic. The style of its construction is by no means all that could be desired, and fabulous scandals are afloat respecting the Union Pacific Company, but the work is, nevertheless, a stupendous achievement. WAR WITHOUT FIGHTING. A singular " struggle " is still being prolonged in South America. Spain and the Republics of Chili and Peru aro at war, but during the last three years no fighting has taken place ; nor is it likely that another shot will be fired. Of the many foolish wars which have been undertaken in modern times, this was, perhaps, the most absurd. The Chilians and Peruvians could do nothing against the Spaniards. The Spaniards could only send a fleet many thousands of miles to batter down the ports on the west coast of the South American Peninsula, without deriving the slightest benefit from the destruction. And though this profitless labour has been abandoned for the last three years, and the Spanish squadron withdrawn, peace has not been concluded. But the absurday of the situation has at length produced its effect. Though these sensible nations will not end the war, they are determined to enjoy all the blessings of peace. The Peruvians have given the Spaniards to understand that they may trade at the Peru vian ports, provided that no vessel enters with Spanish colours. The standard of Castile must be hauled down, and the national flag of Equador—which is on good terms with Peru—must be substituted. No doubt the Spaniards will fall in with this suggestion. Very pro bably Chili will follow the example of Peru. The war then may be looked upon as terminated without a treaty of peace. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
