Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Bovalents Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position bad 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 Gazelle 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 .

This Hospital, founded iu the year 18 28, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions aid legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in -patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LTFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 13, ST. JAMES'S SQUARE, LONDON . , S.W. CHAIRMAN. Right Hon. John Robert Mowbray, M.P. DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Artual 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 £100,883, 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 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 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 OP CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rites and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTGLIFFE , Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London.

The political horizon here is as dull and monotonous as the material one, which cold mists and drizzling rain have for the last few days deprived of all its usual brightness. Nothing is known for certain of the intention of Ministers with regard to the extinction of the forced currency, and most people are tired of speculating about it. It has been found necessary, in consequence of the failure of the recent negotiations, to postpone the financial statement until after Easter, and until then the Chamber will be occupied with the remaining special estimates and the endeavour to get on with the tedious Reorganisation Bill, of which most of the deputies appear to be heartily sick. The clauses at present under discussion contain no points of any general interest. These, together with the Estimates of the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, have taken up all the last week. The system at present in force for the draining, .of the Maremma has excited con siderable criticism and provoked unfavourable comparisons with that introduced and so effectually carried out by the late Count FoSsornhroni, Minister under the Grand Duke. It appears that the malaria is now gaining, instead of losing, ground, awl that the districts in question are becoming less and less fit for human habitation. But as the remedy could only be found in a more lavish expen diture, it was impossible, in the present disastrous state of the public finances, to do justice to these complaints. On Saturday, as I predicted would be the case, the secret committee of the whole House threw out D'Ondes Reggio's bill on Freedom of Instruction. M. Nigra is still here en conge. The question of his transfer from Paris to London has, however, as it appears, been settled in the negative sense, and he returns to his post after a short stay at Turin. There is no limit to the conjectures by which some of the Italian journals endea vour to give importance to this incident, as well as to the recall of Count von Usedom. There is, however, no reason to suppose that the first-named diplomatist has been sent for to Florence with any other object than to facilitate a decision of the question whether he was to retain his present post, or be sent to the vacant one in London, which it appears so difficult to fill. The coinci dence between the journey and the affair -of the Prussian Minister was certainly tempting to the political gobe mouckes, and they could hardly have fail&t—to present us, as they have, with rumours of projected alliances in the event of war, as the cause alike of the demand for M. Nigra's presence in Florence, and of the dissatisfaction with the Prussian representative alleged to be felt by Count Bismarck. In the latter case, those who know best are inclined to believe that the real dissatisfaction which has been the cause of Count von Usedom's displacement is no other than that experienced by that diplomatist him self in the very delicate position which has been created for him by the proceeding adopted last year by the Italian Government through the publication of the secret despatch in which he had proposed a plan of campaign for the Italian army in the late war. This proceeding gave rise to the celebrated pamphlet controversy between Generals La Marmora and Cialdini, and left to the Prussian Govern ment, in view of the feeling thus excited at Vienna, hardly any other alternative than that which it actually adopted, namely, the disavowal of its own-Envoy's despatch. This act, however, although, to a certain extent, it saved appearances, deceived nobody, and it was evident that the strategical plans contained in the despatch in question were not attributable to so unprofessional an author as Count von Usedom. A report has been current during the last two days among some of the bankers here to the effect that another French firm has entered on the scene ready to take up the broken thread of the negotiations for the necessary loan. Nothing, however, is likely to be known for certain until after Easter. Meanwhile the rumours about a forced loan are by no means silenced as yet, and the advocates of that desperate expedient profess to give the details of the pro ject which they allege to be in contemplation, involving, as they believe, the repayment of the loan in five years. The failure of so many schemes for ameliorating the financial position of the country, to realise what was expected of them, has produced great and general dis couragement as to the future, and, outside the circle of the more immediate supporters of the Government, one hears much scepticism expressed as to the possibility of ulti mately avoiding a complete breakdown, so enormous is the interest of the public debt when compared with the present resources of the nation. The joint anniversary of the birth of the King and the Prince of Piedmont was celebrated yesterday. The day was ushered in by a salute of artillery, and the usual diplomatic and official dinner was given by General Menabrea. The flags and illuminations, the latter being by no means brilliant, appeared to be exclusively confined to public offices and the residences of persons having places at Court. The church of Santa Croce has just been closed for the purpose of partial internal restoration, and with a view to the removal of the lateral altars, the space occupied by which is required for the monuments which from Clue to time may be decreed to the celebrated personages interred there. One of these sites is already allotted to Rossini. The works have already brought to light several frescoes, some of which are by Taddeo G addl. ronmux NOTES. rnANcz AND 231;LOIVII: The Stananra and other journals (Irmo - lino tnht Frail 66 is beating a retreat and abating her high pretensions; the Liberte holds that Belgium is the party which low given way. The Paris cor, espondent of the Stawiara asserts that France no longer insists on Belgium stultify. ing herself by validating the contract with the ICaetgrn and has, after much demurring, ended as ebo should have commenced—assented to the Belgian proposal to arrangs the tariffs between the two countries for the transport of coal, so that the Eastern line should not bo a loser. The Liberte, on the contrary, asserts that Belgium has yields(' in two important particulars. The Brussels Ministry has agreed to submit to the Commission all commercial relations between the two countries, and likewise to permit the revision of the question which has brought about the Franco-Belgian difficulty. But this does not imply that Belgium will sanction the contract between the Faint of France and the Luxemburg lines. There may be a revision without involving the sanction of the contract which a law was passed to forbid. The Paris correspon. dent of the Post thinks the solution will be nothing more than a fair financial arrangement. But the bases of the negotiations are even yet unsettled, so that these state. ments can be regarded as nothing more than well-foanded anticipations. " THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE." The Austrian and Italian j ;urnals are still occupiei in saying polite things of each other. Count Beust and the Emperor Francis Joseph are at Trieste, whither General Della Rocca has gone to compliment the Austrian Sove reign in the name of the King of Italy. He is the bearer, it is said, of an autograph letter. Some journals are re viving the triple alliance project, and the .New Free Press says that there is at least a good understanding between the three countries, the object of which is (of course) " the preservation of peace." There can be no doubt that Austria and Italy are now on the best of terms. N 0.23,056. MRS. DUFFUS HARDY'S NEW NOVEL.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 Assurances under them which' shall be absolutely Unforfeitabl4, 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 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 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. v in - addition to the foregoing statethent 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, tankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cl iss 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 any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HAaBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The Republican party is daily assuming a more menacing attitude. Mazzini has divided Italy into four governments, to each of which a chief has been appointed. Genoa, Bologna, Florence, and Naples are the centres of action. Everything betokens an approach ing struggle, and so fully is the King aware of this that he has made large investments in foreign securities, in order to provide for the worst. Garibaldi is very ill, and a general break up of his constitution is feared- THE UNITED STATES. General Grant's first, and, so ear, ins only message to Congress, was simply a request that the Act of 1789, which forbids any person engaged in trade from taking office at the Treasury, be repealed by Congress, or, at least, that Mr. Stewart, who had been chosen as Sec retary to the Treasury, should be exempted from its provisions. The message was received by the Senate, and Senator Sherman presented a bill modifying the law, by striking out the section referring to the Secretary, so as to enable Mr. Stewart to assume the dutie3 of his new posi tion. But the majority were averse to any hasty change, and so Mr. Stewart has resigned, and a successor has been appointed. One cause of the Senate's refusal to modify the law is very clear : Mr. Stewart is a free trader, and the Senate has not yet learned to love politi cians of this stamp. A distressing instance of the horrible mishap of burying alive is reported from Alleghany. Some years ago a beautiful young lady residing in that neighbourhood was supposed to have died, and was buried. A few weeks back the corpse was exhumed, when it was discovered that she had been buried alive. Her body was turned in the coffin, the clothing torn in shreds, and her hair pulled out by handfuls. The mother, who had idolised her daughter, was so r,ffected by the discovery that she has since become a hopeless maniac. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. As usual, it is necessary to strike the balance between two entirely different reports from South America. One account states that Lopez is entrenching himself with 4,000 men at a distance of twenty-one leagues from Asun cion, that the Allies are quarrelling, and that the Argentine Republic, at least, desires a peace. From the Argentine Legation comes the statement that Lopez is hiding in the mountains with a few followers, having massacred all who would not join him. It seems rather strange that the Paraguayans should tolerate this ruler, if, as his enemies allege, his power is utterly broken, and yet he , murder§ bio tiubiecta indiscriminately. 208,774 0 0 Premiums on new assur ances Ditto on old ditto 366,21 5* 7 3 £380,811 8 3 Interest from invest ments 117,584 7 £498,395 15 Profit and loss, balance of account Total income CR.

The interest receiv e d during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from tho 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 sho wn of £ 46 , 070 13s. 3d., derived from vario us e xtraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances aro £14,596 Is. 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 red uc ti on, too, ap pears in the amo un t of premiiirns paid fo r r e - assu rance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those o f l ast year by upwards of £1,400. B u t 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.
