A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.(3. 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 every premium paid, baring 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contracted to be paid: Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 1 ngest 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 policiesquTe Securitysht e 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 uncon ditional, they will also be nnchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute business s e 8 se s a incomee E i a e n N s l;A : L o2cble t,Oiinac ASSURANCE eyee aKingdom. .largestngldtC so O ma M n 1. oPuAn SPECIALNt position o Y f is p nu o e n s w questionable, PRUDENTIAL underaßpo these tables being unforfeitable and ninon_ 0 s AGENTS WANTED.

OODPER,I, Sec. 35 Gingen-street Cheapside. 7 -- ',-- -, ,,_--e_- UNITED STATES SECURI2ThS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The debate in the House of Representatives, on February 3, shows why persons who have invested in United States Securities should under stand something of the Republic, that they may not be deluded to their own detriment into getting rid of their securities at the very time that they ought to buy, "Mr. HootAN (Democrat, Indiana) moved to insert a new cection, taxing the iuterest on United States Bonds ton per cent. He reminded the House that at the last ses sion, by a large majority, the house had, on motion of Mr. COBB, pledged itself to that principle. " Mr. SCHENCK. suggested that the House of Represen tatives was a mighty uncertain body, and that that vote bad been given on the eve of a general election. "Mr. IIoLMAN exprossel his surprise that the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means would find a parti san explanation for the action of the House." No Representative doubted the plain, unvarnished truth of what Mr. &RENCK said ; but the mischief is, that here people are deceived, supposing that sort of talk really to mean action. The Democrats played a desperate card, because they were in a desperate strait ; but they played it to their own injury, as the result proved, and as those who best knew the:people were all along convinced would turn out to be the case. Whatprincipally tended to mis lead the English was the positive tone assumed by the correspondents of most of the London daily newspapers. The Star does not appear to have a correspondent ; he of the Daily News writes essays, not news ; the " occasional" letters of the others had little influence, but there remained the Times and the Standard, and it was their correspondents who did the mischief. We know not what has become of that interesting individual who wrote alternately from New York and Washington to the Standard, or his letters disappeared with the old year, a cir- cumstance we regret, for he was a genuine Copper head, and gave the view of a large American sec tion in bright, lively colours, which were always worth looking at, however little we agreed with the painter. "MANHATTAN" was among the beat of cor respondents, and. his successor on the staff of the Standard was no feeble imitator, though an imitator. Like his predecessor the opinions put forward were tinged with party colours when they ought not to have been so tinged, doing harm in Europe, where we dare say many a man has bitter cause to regret the in fluence they exerted on his investments. This cor respondent was prepared to stake his very existence —so certain was he of the fulfilment of his predic- tion—that the alternative would eventually be with his countrymen, total repudiation--or greenback re demption. Acting on the principle we so heartily condemn, that no quarter is to be shown to a politi cal foe, he perverted the meaning of the Republican platform; and, while acknowledging that his own party desired repudiation, he vehemently contended that they desired it no more than the Republicans, nor as much as the mass of the people. Now he must have known that the vote of Congress and the action of the Republican party was influenced by the sole desire to trim their sails so as to catch every favouring breeze by which to get ahead of the competing ship, while he studiously ignored the fact that not only were the mass of the Republicans op posed to repudiation in any form, but that a consider able section of his party were so also, all sound argument urging a faithful discharge of every obli gation, and a liberal construction in favour of the creditor of every doubtful point—that Congress might be considered certain to see this, and that its expediency would soon become evident to so acute a people. There was not, however, a word to qualify the unhesitating expression of. his opinion. His countrymen were fools and rogues ; they had sense enough to sell as manyßonds as they could to Euro peans, so as to throw as much as possible of the loss on foreigners, but they had neither the sense nor the virtue to strive like men under a burden which they could easily toss off. Substantially the same view was taken by the correspondent of the Times, but he argued it in a way infinitely more damaging to the credit. of the United States. He wa3 a wolf in the guise of a &leap, bleating piteously over the errors of Republican ways. He was a seer with unbounded faith in his own prophecies. What he told as about to happen became history, and history is the record of fulfilled events. He took " careful surveys," lw toakall manner of " nnisnAets" from " dismal!l"_ minute analysis with an air of impartiality greatly calculated to mislead the lamb-like English public. The United States have to thank this man more than any other living for the long delayed rise in the Federal Bonds. A sharp, rapid upward tendency would have annihilated the Democratic plea for greenback redemption, and with it their beat cam paign argument. Impatient people could then have anticipated what they desired, the funding of the debt at an early period at a reduced rate of interest, but the Times was an oracle in Europe, and the Philadelphia correspondent, a strong De mocrat, declared its American predictions. Many ' of our readers are aware of the effect among their friends, and we could give numerous instances of ' Ong. „,‘,... -- , , - ;hose who would not be reassured by anything we said, but sold their Five-Twenties, convinced that the ultimate end would be repudiation. The up holders of the credit of the Republic had to fight against the depressing effect of a falling market and a quotation for the Bonds of the richest of countries similar to those of dishonoured or bankrupt com munities. This was fertile in breeding annoyance in the States, and there is a terrible stimulant to men to be dishonest where they are discounted and dealt with as being dishonest. Those the Times influenced to their loss have little cause to thank that journal. The editor, ignorant of the drift of his cor respondent, allowed the great organ to be made the tool of an American party, to the injury of its readers interested in American Securities—a subject we need not dwell on, as the full force must be felt by themselves. We can only hope that our at tempts to rebut the Sayings of the Seer and to ex pose his prophecies by the touch-stone of events, may have saved some of our readers from loss, for no rise has been so rapid as that in American Securi ties since these letters—now of no use to the De mocratic party—have ceased to agitate the mind of Europe. It is not without an inward chuckle we so often record the cable messages from this corre spondent. Is it from a quiet sense of the ludicrous that the Times makes him send these despatches, which sometimes overtake his letters, and in a laughable way falsify his prophecies ? Some of our readers may recollect a letter of his to which we took exception, analysing the present House of Representatives, and that not then fully elected, to show that some four-fifths would vote repudiation in some shape, most probably tax the interest. H er e, however, is his latest telegram, dated last Wednesday :—" A propo sition to tax interest on United States Bonds was defeated yesterday in the House of Representatives."
