The literature of the Alabama disputa is quits naus enough, but another cOnteibltisn which apnaara iu the. New York Herald is worthy of notice. This is a letter, hitherto unpublished, from Mr. Reverdy Johnson to Mr. Seward. It is a long argument in favour of the Johnson. Clarendon Treaty, and it appears that it was confidentially submitted to the Senate, but it failed to alter its decision. The Senate clearly, did not know what it wanted. The letter proves' what has often been more than suspected, that lead the treaty been accepted the recognition of the S , uth's belligerency would have been submitted to arbitration. The English statesman did not mean to allow this, but Mr. Jolinsmi clearly ima;ined he had so framed the phraseology of the treaty that the Queen's proclamation could have been draggel in.

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 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 tho rate of little more than 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows DR.

Vico-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. Presidentl-His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent r .or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of . the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

Either the English Government had given way, or there had been grievous misunderstand. ing People in America, in fact, are beginning to see that by the rejection of the treaty they lost an opportunity which will is all likelihood never return. Even the extreme Herald itself admits that, " Perhaps if arbitration had been agreed upon it might, after all, have been better for us than to leave the Alabama claims an open question for an indefinite period." If the arbitration, it says, had been favourable to America, a certain amount of cash would have been gained. Had it been unfavourable, the Americans would have been justified in following England's example whenever we were involved in a war. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, in this letter, writes strongly against the idea of war with England. It would not only be wicked, it might also be disastrous : " The power of England upon both land and ocean was never greater than at present. Her steam navy has been brought to such a state of perfection that in speed and other efficiency it is believed to be unrivalled. The com. mercial marine, therefore, of the United States at sea when the war is declared would in all probability be certain victims, while that which was in port, if safe there against the attacks of the enemy, would be useless to their owners."

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, 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 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, 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 everydnemium 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 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-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 ouly necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable o❑ any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of X 215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The New York Tribune has received news from Wash ington that General Sickles, the new American Ambas sador at Madrid, has been instructed to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba from Spain. The Tribune does not guarantee this information, and it condemns the project, on the ground that not a penny ought to be wasted on "Spain's forfeited possessions," leaving it to be inferred that the United States ought to take Cuba without payment. It is quite possible, however, that the American Govern. ment may contemplate the purchase of the great Spanish island. The Times the other day plainly hinted that all the activity at New York in the suppression of filibuster ing was due to an arrangement between Spain and America. Spain cannot in honour give up the island now; but let the insurrection be suppressed, and the Madrid Government may then, without reproach, part with a possession which it cannot hold for a sum in hard cash, which is so sorely needed. But the Government dare not give up the island whilst the insurrection is going on. Spanish pride would not tolerate it. THE INSURRECTION. An American sailor, named Speednian, who was captured after landing in Cuba with a filibustering party, has been shot at Santiago. He claimed that he had been deceived when he shipped, was forcibly detained when landing, and surrendered to the troops after skirmishing. When he was taken to Santiago the Consul endeavoured to save him, and asked for a delay of the execution to enable him to present proofs. This was refused. The matter has been represented to the American Govern ment. THE GARIBALDIAN CONSPIBACT AT EO3IE. The other day our Rome correspondent sent us specif& information that a Garibaldian plot, under the leadershi, of Menotti Garibaldi, was planned to break. out at th. Papal capital on the occasion of the Girandola. Several hundred conspirators had found their way to Rome, but the vigilance of the police frustrated the scheme. The inquiry since held has revealed that the assassination of General Kanzler, the Papal commander, was a prime object of the con spiracy. Somebody warned him that an attempt on his life would be made as he sat on his balcony watching the festival ; but he, nevertheless, mingled with the crowd, ascended into the balcony and sat in front, adorned with his orders, in the company of several other Papal officers. The attempt was not matte—probably the arrests or the police and the flight of Menotti frustrated it. THE FOPE. A communication from Rome states that the Pope cot iinues to enjoy good health, but that he is much affected by the news of his brother's death, who has just expired at Sinigaglia in consequence of a fall. He was styled Count Gabriel Mastai Ferretti, was 90 years of age, and the head of the Pope's family. AN ENGLISH PRINCESS A SISTER OF MERCY. The North German Correspondent tells an interestiu; little story of our Princess Royal —now the Crown Princess of Prussia. The house of a poor labourer at Potsdam recently got on fire, and an old woman, in endeavouring to save some of the property, had her back severely burned. The Crown Prince and Princess happening to come up, the old woman was carried to a place of safety, where the Princess, who had accompanied her, dressed her wounds with her own hands, and attended her with the greatest care and gentleness till a medical man arrived. By her command the children were then taken to the Palace, and washed and furnished with new clothes. NOW AND THEN. The Emperor Napoleon was not always the firm advocate of "order" that he is now. Our Rome correspondent mentions a curious autograph of the French Sovereign which has come into the posses• sion of M. Cretimum Joly, the distinguished histo• rian. It forms part of the traveller's book at the inn of Radacofani in 1831, when Louis Napoleon was flying from Forli, after the suppression of the revolt he had excited against Gregory XVI. It is as follows :—Nom and prenom—Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. Age-22 anse Profession—Revolutionnaire. MEAT FROM AUSTRALIA. The tinned meats of the Melbourne Meat Preserving Company have had an excellent sale in London, and the news has given a great impetus to the business of preser vation in Australia. It is confidently expected that the various boiling-down establishments will have factories for similarly preserving and shipping to Europe the large quantities of meat hitherto wasted by the pro cess of boiling down the stock to extract the tallow. At one establishment near Ballarat 180,000 sheep were boiled down for tallow during 'the past eighteen months. The mutton destroyed by the process is esti mated at the value of £4l l OOO. Ihe problem of bringing meat which is valueless in Australia in sound condi tion to the English market, where it is so sorely needed, has been at least partially solved. The Central Pacific Railroad of California is building an hospital at Sacramento for the use of its em ploye's, which will contain eighty beds and cost $30,000, exclusive of land and furniture. The upper floor, which has room for 100 beds, will be left entirely open for use in case of a great accident. A pleasant thoughtfulness for passengers. [ADVERTISEMENT].—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— No case of disease of the skin, be its nature what it may, has failed to be benefited when these potent remedies have been properly applied. In scrofulous and scorbutic affec tions they are especially serviceable. Scurvy and erup tions, which had resisted all other modes of treatment and gradually become worse from year to year, have been com pletely cured by Holloway's cooling ointment and purify ing pills, which root out the disease from the blood itself, and leave the constitution free from every morbid taint. In the nursery Holloway's ointment should be ever at hand ; it will give ease in sprains, contusions, burns, scalds, and infantile eruptions, and may always safely be applied by any ordinary attendant.
