THE REVALENT A ARABICA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled —removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea., all gastric de rangements, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism gout, impurities, eruptions , hys teria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health -restoring Revalenta Arabica and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du 'darry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a vlateful at every meal. Tt has produced a surprisingly oneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

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 the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurtince, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,833, 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 seat, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus 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 existence, 5: The :Accumulated - Fund - was thereby increased. to -£1,598,906. .• The following are amougpe , distinctive features of the Society : • • CREDIT SYSTEM. , —On any Policy for the wi , ole of Life, where the age does not exceed GO, 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, : whicbever event shall first happen: INVALID LIVES may beussured at rates proportioned to the increased risk.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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 Ass urances un d er th em 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, 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 t o voyae i ng, f ore i gn res id e nce, 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-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors,t and oth ers h o ldi n g policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called Assurances—a mat upon to advance sotears of f o g m r a e i a n t ta t i m n p t o h r e tan fu ee ll are held as collateral security. andd w be h n e e re fit p o ol f ic t i h e e s necessary e polliteiiessounnlyderofuncon ditional,thetermed Absolute whatever.

Some excitement has been caused throughout the king dom of Italy by the discovery of a Republican conspiracy at Naples, in which several regiments are implicated. A great number of arrests, both of military 'Wen and of civilians, have been made. No less than fifty sergeants are said to have undertaken to aid in the Mazzinian propa ganda. It is rumoured that an insurrection was fixed for Easter, and that the intention was discovered in consequence of an unexpected review of troops in the island of Capri. There is no doubt that for some 'months, especially since October, Mazzini has been very busy, and the existence of a Republican Alliance was well known to everyone. In December, Mazzini published a letter declaring for the overthrow of Victor Emmanuel. Since then the journals of the party have not ceased to revile him, and he is now styled by them Sardanapalus. An attack upon Rome is a part of the revolu tionary programme. It is said that Garibaldi does not believe it can succeed. Simultaneously with the news of this conspiracy at Naples we hear that a bomb was suddenly thrown down in the cathedral at Palermo during service, and that it naturally caused the greatest alarm. It does not appear that anyone was hurt. It is difficult to understand how the Republicans can hope to advance their cause by attempts at indiscriminate massacre among their own friends. ITALIAN NOTES. The Italian Parliament separated for the Easter holi• days with almost nothing done. The papers are com plaining terribly of the diarrhea% of words with which certain deputies are affected, and express their envy of the way in which English M.P.'s get through the Estimates, which, perhaps, is just a trifle too rapid. Menabrea, the Premier, and Cambray Digny, the Finance Minister, pull well together, and so long as they continue to do so there is no chance of a Ministerial crisis. The Parliament has refused to grant a subsidy to the Adriatic Oriental Company for the purpose of running steamers from Venice to Alexandria, calling at Brindisi en route. These steamers now perform the journey with. great regularity, and generally far within the contract time; in some instances the voyage from 'Brindisi has taken only sixty-six hours. The Government seems to be now awaking to the importance of Italy becoming the route to India. It is proposed to run a weekly special 411,,41," 5ti a1q.z.= train each way between Brindisi and Susa, so as to allow travellers to have the full benefit of the shortest route. Still more satisfactory, the rock in the Cenis tunnel has become so much softer that this great work is expected to be men to passengers on January 1, 1871. PROGRESS IN TURKEY. The visit of Sultan Abdul Aziz to this country in 1867 seems to have produced some impression upon his Majesty's not very susceptible mind. He has learnt that all the world is not Mahometan, that Christians can fight no less than the followers of the Prophet. He has determined, therefore, to confer upon the first the privilege of defending the Father of the Faithful. During the Crimean war; and notwithstanding the extent of the danger they were in, the Turks preferred to bear all the military charges, and to be decimated rather than have the infidels as auxiliaries. Very recently the Sultan was able to form a guard of honour composed of Christian young men, and the new Seraskier has resolved to extend that organisation to the whole empire. It is in contemplation to constitute an army of reserve, to be compOsed not only of the nano.' reserve forces, the redifs, but also of the Christians, Jews, and men of every religion and race subjects of the Sultan. A contract has been made with an American house to supply these troops with 150,000 rifles. DOG LICENSES.—CAUTION. THE COMMISSIONERS of INLAND RE VENUE GIVE NOTICE that all DOG LICENSES granted in the year 1868 expired on the 81st December last, and every person keeping a dog in the current year is required forthwith to take out a new License.

Rf Queen-street Cb.eapside. FAMINE IN RUSSIA, Last year's sorching, drouthy summer has been succeeded in Russia by a mild, wet winter. The latter season has but enhanced the calamities of the first. We in England always consider a severe winter the greatest calamity that can happen to our vast pauper population ; but in Russia a severe winter is a blessing, for it gives the inhabi tants firm roads and highways in places which, when the frost is gone, are inaccessible. This year there has been a premature thaw, and so ib has been found impossible to convey food to the districts which, owing to last summer's short crops, sorely needed sup plies. The consequence is that multitudes are dying of famine, and the Russian Government, always on the look out to advance its one great purpose—the bringing all parts of Russia into intercommunication —is urging English capitalists to invest in Russian railways as an act of Philanthropy as well as a matter of business. Railways, it is announced, are to he made to Finland at once. Of course in such a sparsely-peopled country they can never pay, but the Russian Government guarantees the divi dend, and that Government has always been far tooshrewd to think of breaking faith with its creditors even when at war with thorn. Give us your gold to make our iron highways, it says, and then we can do what we please in India and at Constantinople. FANATIC INFIDELS. There are certain persons in Paris who are not only infidels, but fanatics, who not only disbelieve in Chris tianity, but are determined to insult those who believe in it. They have chosen a singular way of shelving their hatred. pnGnna Tirm,v_ which; as all the world- knows, is kept m Roman Catholic countries as, par acettencr, uair abstinence, a number of these unbelievers dined together at a public eating-house. This banquet de Libre pensle, as they called it, may have lightened their consciences, but it must have lain rather heavily upon their stomachs, for it consisted of cold veal and roast pork. It must have been rather mortifying to the men who thus incurred the horrors of nightmare to see that the churches were more crowded than ever. While they were feasting at the risk of a fierce attack of indigestion, the people whom they hoped to convince were thronging the Madeleine and Notre Dame and St. Eustache and St. Roche to such an extent that it was necessary to station sergents de rille at the doors, in order to prevent serious accidents. In the cathedral the crowd kept con- tinually moving, leaving or entering, and they were com posed of every class of society—working men in theirblouses, women of the faubourgs, or peasants from the environs carrying their child' ren in their arms, and mingled with those of the higher class, the owners, possibly, of the handsome equipages outside. There was no gorgeous ceremony to attract them, and a few hours' stay in the church enabled one to see that they came for no other purpose than to pray at the different shrines or at the " stations of the cross "—to kneel and kiss the crucifixes exposed in the chapelsof the side aisles or the silver circlet containing the relics for which Notre Dame is famous. Priests were in attendance in the chancel to present them to the salute of the crowds who knelt before the altar. The priests relieved each other every hour, and this ceremony lasted till after nightfall. The sermon of the Passion was given by the celebrated preacher Father Felix, and there were hundreds who for want of room had to stand outside. The preacher announced at the close of his sermon that, judging from the crowds attending the ser vices during the last week of Lent, the male communicants on Easter Day would be far more numerous than in pre vious years, that measures were taken to abridge the ceremony, and that four priests would be in attendance at the same time for that purpose. All the other churches of Paris were crowded in a similar manner. Clearly Christianity is not going_to be vanquished by a fillet of veal and pork chops. BUDGET OF PERSONAL ITEMS. —The Queen has approved of Mr. Oliver Mungen as Consul at Turk's Island for the United States of A merica.—General Breckenridge reached his home in Lexington on the 4th inst., and has commenced practice as a lawyer, eschewing Politics of which he has had quite enough. George F.

There is no hope of O'Neill's recovery, and very slight hope of M'Cracken. Chas. Wallace, editor of The Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper, was shot and instantly killed on the 12th by Dr. Darden, also of Warrenton. Wallace had attacked Darden in his paper, calling him a liar and a villain. Superintendent Kennedy, on th 3 12th inst . ., returned from his Southern tour. le left President Acton at Aiken, Georgia, much improved iu health. Thurlow Weed was stopping at the same place, and was also recovering his health and strength rapidly. Mr. Seward will shortly there pay him a visit. Representative Dawes has become the Father of the House, now that Mr. Washburne has accepted the miFsion to Paris. Mr. James M. Mason, of Mason and Slidell fame, was to leave Canada in a day or two, and expected to be at his old home in Winchester, Virgina, by the middle of March.
