It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CArnox.—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 invalids' 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 - 13arry'e Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a 'plateful at every meal.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £11.2,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £07,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest siAda-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 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'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 whole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred,t. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTOLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London, S.W. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. 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 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 ou these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors ne=aring the lives of debtors will appreciate this fpature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itsplf 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 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 anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same , The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are loss 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 Mutine, 17, screw sloop, 882 tons, 200-horse power, Commander Henry M'Clintock Alexander ; arrived at Sheerness from the Pacific station on Friday, the 19th inst. She has since been removed into the great basin, and will be paid off and strike her flag on Tuesday, the 30th inst. The Mutine was commissioned on the 7th of April, 1865, by Captain Blake, who took her out to the Pacific. He afterwards resigned the command of the ship, and she then had in succession two acting com manders—Lieutenants Loraine and Nicholetts. Commander Swinburn was next appointed to the ship, and he is turn gave place to Commander Alexander, who brought her home. During her commission the Mu.ine has been what is generally termed a healthy ship, the deaths on board having been very few, an I sickness among the crew much lees nail is usual in ships serving on the Pacific st tti Tnc Mutine was very nearly four yeas in commission. She was employed be t‘% e..la Callao and Valparaiso during the extraordi nary prevalence of yellow fever at those places, but under the care of Dr. Martin, the surgeon of }own!, escaped the disease. Tile Mutine was at Coquimbo at the time of the earthquake at Atica, and her crew were employed in clearing away th e ruins and iu conveying assistance to the wretched inhabitants. The Mutine left Valparaiso, home ward boun.l, on the Ist of Jauulry, and performed the almost utiprecAented feat of reaching England in 74 days, not having called at a single port on the voyage. Nearly the whole distance was accom plished under sail, steam having been got up only while the ship was crossing the Line. The weather during the greater part of the voyage was favour able, but on reaching the chops of the Channel continuous gales and extremely heavy gales were experienced. So severe was the weather on one occasion that two of the quarter-boats were washed from the davits and lost. Before leaving Valpa raiso the Mutine was inspected by Commodore Powell, who, in the course of his remarks on the occasion, expressed the great satisfaction he felt at finding the ship and her crew in such perfect con dition, and further said he regretted having to lose her from the station. Among the officers who accompanied the ship home are First Lieut. P. C. Johnstone, who went out in her as Second Lieutenant; Lieut. SeymoUr H. P. Dacres (son of Admiral Dacres), who also served throughout the commission, and while out was promoted to be Second Lieutenant; Navigating Lieut. Edward B. D'Arcy, Dr. Martin, &c. Commander Alexander saw considerable service ashore in New Zealand during the campaign of 1853, and at the battle of Raugariri received a shot in the right arm which has entirely deprived him of the use of it. Before joining the Mutine he commanded the Hector, and for some time was commander of the naval barracks in Sheerness Dockyard. Upon being paid off the Mutine will be placed in the Steam Reserve, but the division has not been named. Only a portion of her stores will be removed, and by the direction of the Lords of the Admiralty she will then be surveyed acd valued. It is rumoured that the Mutine will be purchased for the service of the King of Prussia. A telegram has been received announcing the arrival at Bombay, " all well," on the 21st inst., of Her Majesty's Indian troopship Jumna, with the Ist battalion of the 21st Regt., and the draughts which left Queenstown in the Serapis on the 16th ultimo. The 7th Dragoon Gaards, now stationed at Col chester, are under orders to proceed to Aldershott. The mounted portion, consisting of two squadrons —strength, 13 officers, 172 men, 190 horses—is expected to reach the camp on the sth proximo ; the headquarters and two squadrons—strength, 12 officers, 193 men, 212 horses— on the following day. The dismounted detachment, consisting of about five officers, 144 men, 69 women, and 73 children, will leave Colchester at 10 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, the Ist proximo, and proceed via Stratford, North London line, &c., to their desti nation. On arrival at the camp the regiment will be quartered in Vie East Cavalry Barracks, and at tache:l to the Cavalry Brigade. By direCtion of the Secretary for War, Quarter m ester J. Jones, Quartermaster-Sergeant Instructor J. Ma.hieson, and Sergeant-Major K. Knight, of the Royal Elgineers, Chatham, have been re warded by gifts of money for valuable inven tions by them. rifle amount awarded to Quarter master Jones is £lOO, in acknowledgment of the invention by him of the iron band gabions now in use in the corps of Royal Engineers and continental armies. Quartermaster-Sergeant Mathieson has re ceiven £l5O, as the author of several inventions and improvements in connection with military field telegraphy and torpedoes, chief among which are the portable voltaic battery for field telegraph pur poses, ebonite connectors for joining insulated tele graph wires, mechanical unions for passing and securing wires used in torpedo operations, toge ther with several improved self-acting electrical arrangements for firing torpedoes. Serg.-Major K. Knight has received £5O as the inventor of the shields used by the Royal Engineers in field opera tions. The order for the payment of these rewards was announced to the troops at headquarters, Chatham, yesterday, by direction of the authori ties at the Horse Guards. PRISON DIETARY SCALES. -~- The thirtieth report on prisons in Scotland, which has just appeared, contains au official communica tion, furnished by the resident surgeon of the General Prison for Scotland, relative to certain dietary scales now in use in the prisons of Edin burgh and Glasgow. It appears that the Glas gow scale supplied to male prisoners con tains 31.5 nitrogenous, 136.0 carbonaceous, and 5.4 mineral constituents per ounce, as com pared with a diet authorised by the Secre tary of State, which contains 31.6 nitrogenous, 127.0 carbonaceous, and 5.2 mineral constituents; that the latter contains 28 oz. of meat per week, but that the Glasgow scale h ►s no meat except that included in the soups and broths. The Edinburgh scale is the same as that in use at Glasgow, with the addition of 6 oz. of bread and half an imperial pint of milk daily. It is evident that these scales are defective in meat ; and ex periences that hare been gleaned during the past few years from the chief prisons of the United Kingdom go to prove that convicts undergoing long terms of imprisonment, unless supplied with a fair allowance of animal food, speedily become the sub jects of scrofulous diseases. This fact is confirmed by the terms of the report above quoted; and we entirely subscribe to the opinions expressed by Mr. Thomson and Dr. Christison (who was deputed to assist at the inquiry), that " hard labour and the de pression of mind of convicts do not admit of low dietary scales ; and if there is a failure of health and strength in the early months of imprisonment, it is difficult and expensive to restore this class of prisoners to vigour for work." This subject has become of greater importance since the discontinu ance of transportation for crime ; for the class which now undergoes penal servitude in the prisons of the United Kingdom, in lieu of transportation, is usually composed of men whose constitutions are deteriorated by vice and privation, and whose phy siques requite therefore to be raised rather than lowered. We do not advocate the coddling of cri minals ; but on the score of economy as well as of humanity, it is wise to diminish the list of medical comforts by increasing the supply of butchers' meat. —The Lancet. A controversy between two editors in Texas is thus describ4l:—" The shooting scrape between Somers Kinney of the Times, and Tracy of the Union, grew out of some severe personal remarks about each other in their papers. Tracy was the attacking party. He had been waiting sotne time for - Kinney in Szubo's cotton ware house, near the Times office. At last Kinney appeared, unconscious of danger, when Tracy commenced firing upon him with a six-shooter. He shot widely, and killed a little toy, a son of Mr. /Hackle, who was passing in the street. He fired three or four times. As I understand Kinney was not hurt. That individual stood it like a stone wall, daring his.aLtagon* to come out and givehim fair chance.
