Stowe's account of Lady Byron's reasons for leaving her husband has excited almost as much attention in Germany as in England, but the North German Correspondent states that the story is there univer sally believed to be quite without foundation. Among the articles that have been written on the sub ject the first place belongs to the three exhaus tive and brilliant essays which the celebrated critic, Max Schlesinger, has contributed to the Cologne Gazette. After entering at length into the details of the matter, he arrives at the conclusion that the tale arose from a delu sion of Lady Byron. As yet no German writer to whose opinion any great weight can be attached has supported the other side of the question, though a digest of the most important English and American articles on the subicct has been given by the leading papers. lealer, Was new when aas Aikan, revolvers Keenan's, I to say he amil ton, of s partially !sins awaY ntified as ihortly be' iat be bad morning• oks, fficer, Was great and MUTUAL LOAN FUND KSSOCIATION M (incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859), 14 , RUSSELL -STREET, 00VM - T-GARDEN, LONDON, And 38, QIIREN's-BP D, BRIGHTON ADVANCES MONEY upon persomd security, Bills of Salo,Free iTid or Leasehold Property, for one, two, or three years, repay - Vie weekly, monthly, or q u arterly.

A petition to the Plinio Minister, praying that steps may be taken for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Established Church in Wales, is being numerously signed in various parts of the Principality. The memo rialists state that, of the present four bishops one—tho Bishop of St. Asaph—is wholly ignorant of the Welsh tongue, and has never been able in such tongue to dis charge any function, priestly or episcopal, towards the souls of the Welsh people, and that, nevertheless, he has received since his appointment above £90,000 sterling, in addition to patronage exceeding that vested in the four English bishoprics of Carlisle, Hereford, Lichfield, and Chichester. The petitioners state that another of their bishops is a Scotchman, and that since the accession of the Hanoverian family no Welshman has ever been advanced to a bishopric in his native land.

The premises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. _ _ Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; ne 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 alwayti have the option of.retain- ing either an ascertained fixtd sum pay able at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t • the duration of the Policy, such amounts being sot forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the wiLth ordinary assurances. ' Creditors asy:nring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono 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 tan at any time learn, by more 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 freeom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely 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-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 unchallongeablo 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. and PERRINS --SIUCE.
