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 gromulgate 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 becom3 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuancn of the assurance. The assurei 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 assuran,-es. Qreditqrs ase,nring the lives of 'debtors will appreciate •vcc.

Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any ronditii , DS as to voyntrinp:, foreign r,sid , nee, or sit IteT'usual litnitati,ms. By this freedom from rest rot ions of all kin& the objections' l-fore referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once posit: voly valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of adv.:ntages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1 ngest term provided for is twenty- fiv,l years, and the shortest fivo years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, tankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this clis.3 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 aro 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 unchallongeable 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.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Aux. ual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,8 8 3, 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 vemium 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. Tho following are among the distinctive features of the Ociet y : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the wl.ole of Lifo, 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, 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.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet 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, tinder 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, JOAN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

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 chided, 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 ineugement aro less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeshist absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5} per cent. on tho total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn. LIABILITIES.

MOSE LY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT -STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820.—'rho System of Painless Dentistry originated by Mr. B. L. Mosely, and now recog nis;yd by the medical faculty and the profession as one of the improvements of the age, can nowhere be obtained in such perfect success as at his only residence, 312, Regent street. Advantages are: Perfect, immunity from pain— no operations—stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful - loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: They never change colour or decay—in fit unerring —ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance re stored- mastication and articulation g , :arauteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : "Theta is no deception ; so good an imitation becomes th n next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Con sultations f roe. —Only addre. , s, 311, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. FOREIGN NOTES. ANNEXATION FINE!: IN AMERICA. Mr. Chandler, a Michigan senator of bellicose tame; brought a resolution before the American Upper House, on the 1901 of April, to the effect that the President be directed to open negotiations with England for a settle ment of all claims on the basis of a transfer of the British North American possessions to the United States. Mr. Chandler is the parliamentary _repre sentative of the party which believes that. the Alabama compensation C:ailll3 %rould be fair " dicker'' for British forth America. We have not yet the pleasure of learning the full argument by which this proposition wassupportcd ; lint Mr. Chandler is of opinion th.►t England, as well as Prance, staked her American possessions on the success of the rebellion. The conduct of the Emperor Napoleon towards the North lost; him Mexico ; our evil deeds ought to cost us half a continent. The motion appears to have produced some sensation, for gold went up directly` in Wall•street, and a war with England became the current topic. But neither of these two effects is so novel as to deserve the name of phenomenon. Gold has gone down again, the war talk has subsided, and Mr. Chandler's resolution has been consigned to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. But really, what with these annexation proposi tions, motions for the recognition of Cuban independence, and such speeches as that of Mr. Sumner on the Alabama claims, the United States Legislature is not presenting a very dignified appearance at the present moment. The New York papers, however, are beginning to find it necessary to laugh at these extravagancies ; and this is rather a good sign. RECONSTRUCTION. The new Reconstruction Bill, allowing Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi to return to the Union, has become law. As a condition, however, the Legislatures of these States must ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti tution. But this will doubtless be done, for the amend ment simply establishes negro suffrage all over the Union, and the negro is already a voter in the South. The three Legislatures will thus only be imposing in the North a condition of things which already exists in the South. THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. The French Government seems to have made up its mind to lose all the eight circumscriptions of Paris again at the general election. At least the Public, a Ministerial organ, has published an article, in which is expressed the opinion that it is hopeless to expect the benighted Pari sians to vote for an Imperialist. But one fact mentioned by the Parisian correspondent of the Times is worthy of note. The Government has made and is making, the most desperate efforts to oust M. Thiers. The speeches of this statesman are so damaging that he must he got out at any price. But the Government cannot persuade the Paris workmen to vote for anybody else. It has, therefore, adopted another expedient. The boun daries of the eight circumscriptions—answering to the "boroughs" of London—have been remodelled, and the division returning M. Thiers has been distorted in the most extraordinary manner. In stead of forming a compact quarter of Paris, like the City of London is of the metropolis, it has been dragged out into a narrow channel, so as to include the Palace of the Tuileries, a barrack full of gendarmes who are enlisted as electors, and the Prefecture of Police with its voting officials of all kinds. The map of Paris looks ridiculous, but the Government gets the votes of the prefecture and the barrack against M. Thiers. MAZZINIAN PLOTS. If the Wanderer of Vienna is to be believed, the great centre of agitation at Lugano by no means confines the distribution of its revolutionary favours to Italy. A coup de-main is in preparation for the benefit of the small Eastern States. A general rising is contemplated in the Danubian Principalities, Transylvania, Hungary, and that portion of Christian Turkey which is not under semi independent rule. All these States have been "well worked," the Wanderer assures us, by revolutionary emissaries. Neither Kossuth, Mazzini, nor Garibaldi is a stranger to this scheme. The apprehensions of the Wanderer may be taken for what they are worth, but it may be mentioned that the chances of success for the Republicans are small indeed. The Austrian Govern ment is very stronff r y et the uresent moment. and the sick man, ior an in vitoo, was never better in his life. A more substrer~"rfete - Of revolution:fly-intelligence in the fact that the leader of the Miltiu conspirators, Braz zoduro, has escaped the vigilance of the authorities, and has got clear off to Lugano. But the Milanese ofEcia,ls have secured fifteen prisoners, and arc making the most - o f th em . 3 " vigorous examination," says the Pun polo, is now going on. The Florence correspondent of the Putr:e confirms the general impression that the Garibaldians had no direct share in the plot, though well aware of its existence. ITALIAN PAIITIES. A very important redistribution of Italian parties is now taking place. The present Menabrea Ministry has held its ground well, but it is composed almost wholly of Tuscans. The Piedmontese element, though by no means allied with the Left, has hitherto held aloof. But a coalition has at length been arranged. Not only the Piedmontese, but the group of the Third Party, under the leadership of Signor Mordini, will join General Mena brea. The terms of the alliance have been agreed upon between Ricasoli, Ferrari, Mordini, and Menabrea. The latter will resign and will reconstitute his Cabinet, most of his Tuscan colleagues being thrown overboard to make room for the Piedmontese and Third Party. Count Cambray-Digny's financial scheme will be adopted in full by the coalition of the.present Cabinet. • Only this Minister, Menabrea, and Viate will be retained. Such are the details given by the Ind'pendance Beige, and sub stantially they are confirmed by other authorities, especially the Temps. Beyond doubt the position of the Italian Government must be greatly strengthened by such a coalition. The Rattazzi tarty is said to be in great trouble at this union. The fact is that the Piedmontese have long felt themselves in a false position, joined as they were with Rattazzi and the Left against the Government. The more Rattazzi identified himself with democratic projects, the more discontented they became, and at length they have "gone over." srAin Another outbreak, similar to the deplorable risings at Malaga and Cadiz, has just been stifled at Se, 'IL.. The correspondent of the Constitutionnel says OP a milita •y conspiracy has been preparing there for some &due. A rising in favour of a republic was contemplated. Several battalions were implicated, and the pronunciamiento was on the point of being declared, when the customary informer divulged everything. The Constitutionnel says that the Republicans are systematically getting up risings such as those at Cadiz and Malaga for the purpose of preventing all "monarchical combinations" on the part of the majority. But sedition is by no means a likely mode of preventing the union of the Monarchists. INTERNATIONAL COINAGE. Austria Las taken a step towards the adoption of the French system of international coinage. The Government is about to lay before the Reichsrath a bill to legalise the coining of ten end twenty-franc pieces. The same course, it is believed, will be taken with regard to Hungary. The French monetary system is rapidly spreading all over Europe. A LITERARY DISCOVERY. t interest rst mt al edes will public. rs probably oflettersril be y excited which e ome i onm) theh e A : i r g t e a o r ° w al e -y a n e w i a ;o l a r s o l f d i p li r l e . se C n h te a d sle t s h , e t i h n e to Fre t t h i e ch l .; i l b e r a a c r l y em o i- f t ei h a e n c , ol l l l e ,i c , t o ion bas of the Institute, where they are now open to public inspection. The publication of the letters by the Academic des Sc:ences is a strong argument in favour of their authenticity, though Professor Owen cautiously refrains from expressing an opinion on the subject. Should they prove to be genuine, they will possess the highest interest, and they will certainly exhibit some well-known historical characters in a new light. The two first are from Louis XIV. to Cassini, and the King speaks of entrusting his correspondent with the talk of writing a life of Galileo, in which full justice shall be done to the discoveries of " that great astronomer." Louis XIV. also refers to a cor respondence between his father (Louis XIII.) and an ltalim Cardinal respecting the persecutions of Further•-on minis a letter from Galileo him6elf, in which he thanbs the King for the generous invitation brought to him by the Ambassador of Rome, and for other proofs of his Majesty's interest in him. All this is very different from the popularly rcceimd notions of the grrnl aro , te toleration and enlightenment. Not the least interesting portion of the series are the litters professing to be written by John Milton to Louis XIV., to Voiture, and to MolPre. They all refir to the astronomer and his letters, and the charges brought against him by the Jesuits. DUNVII.T.E and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the wont.
