A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN tl FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. Tho 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 bo absolutely Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Unchallongeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 pentium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 fix,.(l 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 ‘re held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unehallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. --- "The i'IitiDINTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year.

Open daily til 10 p.m. ls. rCednesday, being marked in the Church of triglimi calendar as " The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary," there were special services in connec tion with the 12th anniversary of the Association for Pro moting the Union of Christendom ; in other words, for bringing the Church of England into eirect communion with the Greek and Roman Churches. The services commenced on the eve of the festival with a service in the church of All Saints, Lambeth, which was so densely crowded from floor to ceiling that hundreds of persons wh6 arrived at a quarter of an hour before the time for which service was announced vainly strove to gain admission. The altar eves profusely decorated with flowers, and an immense nuMber of lighted candles and gasliers gave it a very magnificent appearance. As the clock struck eight a procession which hal been formed in the Sacristy, and which was the largest laroces sion ever yet seen in connection with Ritualistic displays, moved round the church. First came Mr. Alderson Turner, a solicitor, who was habited in a red cassock and cotta, holding aloft a gigantic silver cross, and having on each side of him a chorister similarly attired, carrying a lighted candle. Then followed persons carrying other crosses and banners, bearing various devices., Next came more than a hundred surpliced choristers, men and boys, singing with great energy the processional hymn " Brightly gleams our banner." Then there came a gentleman who censed with great vigour along the whole line of route, from the Sacristy, up the side aisle, of the church, and down the middle aisle to the altar. Next were twenty or thirty men, dressed in brown garmehts, with red collars, said to belong to "The Order of St. Joseph ;" and then twenty or thirty other men, in darker-coloured clothes, attended by one who was more richly dressed, and who carried a pastoral crook. These belonged to a religious order the name of which did not transpire. Then came the priests, twelve or fourteen in number, the deacons, the precentor, ands. other officers, followed by the Rev. Dr. Lee, who was gorgeously vested, attended by two choristers, bearing lighted candles, who conducted him to his seat in a large chair at the side of the altar. When the whole of the persons composing the procession, consisting of nearly 200, took up their position in the chancel, which they did without any fuss or irregularity; Evening service, with some variations, was sung, the first lesson being read by an aged member of the Order of St. Joseph, whose utterance was not very clear, and who was evidently unaccustomed to reading in public. The Rev. Dr. F. G. Lee preached from the second verse of the eighteenth chapter of Ezekiel—" The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." After the benediction, pronounced from the altar, the procession moved back to the sacristy, singing the recessional hymn, " We march to victory." At St. Alban's, Holborn, this morning, there was a solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The Rev. Dr. Littledalo was the preacher, the Rev. 11. T. Ilowes the celebrant, assisted by two other priests, all wearing eucharistic vestments. Prior to the commencement of the service the altar was censed, as was also the church from cast to west, and then from west to cast. There was a large attendance. THE MONSTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The monster musical festival in imitation of the great American one of a few weeks back was held on Wednes day in-the Crystal Palace. There were 8,000 performers, and the building around the Handel Orchestra was crowded in every part, The orchestra had to be specially enlarged for the occasion. The special features of the entertainment were the introduction of cannon in certain parts (let off by electrical cotmnunica tion from the orchestra to the ground), the clanking of anvils in the "Anvil Chorus," and the ringing and sbiming of bells in other places. The full band of the Royal Artillery and the orchestral band of the Palace represented the instrumental force. Mr. Sarll and Mr. Proudman conducted, and Mr. Coward presided at the organ. The programme was opened with the singing of the National Anthem, which began and ended with a discharge of cannon. Dr. 0. W. Holme's "Hymn of Peace," written expressly for the Boston Festival to the music of Keller's American Hymn, was next given with fine effect. This was succeeded by the magnificent " Halle lujah Chorus," " The Russian National Air," Mr. Lowell Mason's " Star of Peace," " Luther's Hymn," " Hail Columbia," " Awake Aolian Lyre," a most effective piece of music ; " Auld Langsyne ;" "The March of the Men of Harlech ;" the "Anvil Chorus," from the " Trovatore ;" "'The Star-splangled Banner ;" " Forgotten all the hates of old," to the air of " Partant pour la Syrie ;" "The Harp that once through Tara's Halls ;" "The Soldier's Chorus," from "Faust"—the whole wind ing up with "Long live England's future Queen," to the music of the Danish National Anthem. Although there were 104 classes represented in the choir, they executed the various pieces with wonderful unity and precision. The effect was occasionally overpowering. At the words in " Auld Langsyne, "And here's a hand my trusty frere, And gie's a hand o' thine," the chorus joined hand in hand, and swayed them up and down in harmony with the music, which had a very pleasing effect. The piece was encored, as was the spirited Welsh air, "The March of the Men of Harlech," every note of which was full ; warlike fire. The " introductions " are vat iously, but on the whole favourably, criticised. The Tintes speaks of the cannon as a " valuable addition to the powers of the orchestra," and adds :—" There is no doubt that at such celebrations as the Handel Festival the want has been experienced of devising an agency by which tones louder and deeper than those produced by the ordinary instruments of a complete orchestra can be made effective. - The use of cannon may be defended on the same ground as that of several large bass drums beaten at times suggested by the leader of a band." The Post uses the same argument in the defence of the use of the "big guns," and though there was much disgust exhibited by some, an improve• ment would seem to have been accomplished. The other "effects" were not strong enough to produce any deep :In presaion. The concert was a complete success. From forty to fifty thousand people attended it ; and it marks very great progress in choral singing. That the Tonic Sol•fa system Was the one by which the choristers were taught, speaks very strongly for that system. Mythology tells that Io died because of her Intense love for Jupiter; but the charm of the romantic story has lately been destroyed by a chemist discovering lodide of potassium. " Pretty girl, Amanda is," said one exquisite to smother at Scarborough. All I is she blonde or brunette?" was the query. " Oh, she has her days of both," was the reply. It may not be known generally that in the small burial-ground attached to the old church in Iligh-street, Marylebone, is a family vault constructed by the Rev. C. Wesley—brother of John Wesley. In it rest the bodies of the said Rev. Charles Wesley, his wife, Mrs. Wesley, his daughter Sarah, and his two sons, Samuel, and Charles, the composer. In our best steam engines one pound of coal produces an effect equal to raising a weight of a million of pounds a foot high. Great as this may appear, recent investigations show that the mechanical energy in one pound of coal is equal to ten times the work we get out of it ; hence it is clear that there is considerable room for improvement in the steam engine. According to the Clergyman's Almanac*, the Bishop of Exeter took his M.A. degree in 1798, before the Bishop of Bath and Wells was born ; and the Bishop of Bath and Wells took his M.A. in 1829, before the Bishop of Peterborough was born. The last-named prelate graduated in 1842, probably before many of the ultra- Ritualists were born. INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—At a short distance from Rivadellesa, an immense natural grotto entirely filled with stalactite columns of great beauty, has just been dis covered by some English miners. Passages extend in different directions for more than a league. Tourists declare this cavern to be one of the most beautiful in the world. if it is fame, Clarence, that you are looking after, i can assure ycr that the glory ov the common scribbler will perforate posterity just about as deep as the advertisements of a quack dockter.

If yu are fully satisfied that yure fust literary ffort is perfect, tare it up, and don't be a phool but once ; but if you sincerely doubt its merit (which is the hardest doubt to inhale), let the publick decide between yu anti yure fears.

A MAD Minunn.—A Paris barber recently an nounced that he would shave people for nothing, and in 2onsequence ne was soon fully occupied. A few days ago a journeyman mason presented himself to profit by the offer ; and the barber, in lathering him, said, " Suppose I were to cut your throat !" " What?" cried the other, rather alarmed, "Oh ! I am only jesting," was the reply. The operation of shaving then commenced, but before long the patient felthituself tapped on the shoulder, sad heard the same question repeated, "You would not like me to cut your throat?" "By no means," said the 3ther. "Nell, then, in that case I must cut my own," and the barber was actually raising his hand to do so when the mason, after shouting for assistance, sprang up and lisarmed him. The barber had gone mad, and has been l!iqn 49. an at 14° )lic °"eri e
