ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, 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 unfrequcntly 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. _ BOsides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 C:ISE , with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew'•se 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-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may he 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 adri that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Pr.liri,r,s. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sosses an income of £215,000 a 3 - ear Its position is Ml questiouablo, and it, obtains tho larg•st amount, of new bu.iness of any ()glee in the _Kingdom.

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.

Nothing can withstand the desire of the country for reform. The representatives of the Government have still a large majority in the Corps Ldgislatif, but this avails nothing. The great fact of the almost unanimous pronunciamiento by the towns of the Empire against the present system carries all before it, and casts wholly in the shade the nameless and colourless crowd of rural voters, who care and know about the opinions of candidates "as much as their sheep do." Personal government and M. Itouher must go together, The Emperor admits his moral defeat at the last election ; and the discourse read at the opening of the present session must be regarded as the cutting of the cable, and the real starting for a new destination. The on! . v question left is to decide how per. sonal government can be given up without endangering the safety and dignty of the Crown. That Imperialist sup porter, the correspondent of the Telegraph, writes in the same strain. TIIE BELGIAN RAILIVAT QUESTION. The Temps, confirming the news that the difficulty between France and Belgium ha: been finally surmounted, says there is no doubt that the intervention of England and Austria has brought about this pacific result. Every. thing looks as if the businesi had been settled in a h niry , as if the parties were resolved to have a settlement at any COUNT BISU RCK. price. The .I),,tr'e userts that Count Bismarck has obtained his several month.' holiday not because his health remains in an unsatisfactory condition, but because of his disputes with the military party. It will be remembered that a convention ba 3 been signed between Prussia and Baden, for the. purpose of enabling the Baden recruits to complete their term of service in the Prussian ar.ny, and rice rend. The leaders of the military party desire to extend this principle to other States, but the Chancellor is opposed to such an attempt. Hence the dispute, and the retire ment of Count Bismarck—in disgust, it would seem. But is he the matt to retreat from the fire of his opponents? TILE SPANISH REPUBLICANS. Spain still continues a prey to agitation of greater or less importance. A band of insurgents, brigands, or rioters ha 3 made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Seville, and has been deemed of sufficient consequence to require the attendance of troops. The Republican flag was hoisted by these malcontents, but the Republican leaders disclaim all connection with them. Other bands are giving trouble in Aragon and Andalusia. Don Carlos has issued a manifesto to the Spanish nation. MA. PEA ODD. The splendid gift of one million dollars which Mr. Pea body has added to the Southern Education Fund doubles the whole amount, which is now two million d 'liars, with an income of 130,003 dollars. The prince of philanthro pists is now at Salem, in Massachusetts. Writing to a friend, he says that his health is very indifferent—not so good as it was on his arrival in Ame*c t. Mr. Peabody will be 75 years of age next February. THE DESTINY OF THE CHINESE. Will it fall to the lot of the superabundant population of China to join the Anglo-Saxon race in peopling the unoccupied portions of the globe? A few years ago, when not a Chinaman could be seen outside the Celestial Empire, such a question would be regarded as absurd. Now the aspact of affairs is very different. The race most zealous'y devoted to its old traditions is spreading all over the world. The Western States of America are rapidly becoming peopled with Chinese. During the year 1866 the arrivals in California from China and Japan were 2,300, in ]F€7 they were 3,303, and in 1868 they were more thin 10,000, while this year they are expected to exceed any previous total. One agent has been sent out to China on behalf of a Chicago firm to negotiate for 50,000 of the :e immigrants. The fact is, the Americans are disposed to encourage this great flow of the human race to the utmost extent. They are as glad to receive these rs ful colonists as the Chinese themselves are glad to get away from their mandarins and the bast'n •do. Twelve hundred and fifty women were landed at San Franc'sco last month, The behavi3ur of the Chinese immigrants receives the highest plalse from the American journals. TI ef are very in 'tla rious, thrifty, sober, and quiet. A remarkable contrast between their conduct and that of the Iri:h and American labourers is given in one of the journals of •ha Far West. The eastern portion of the PaciEc y was made c' icily by the Irish or Americas; the Chinese were emp'oyed on the western or Pac:fio end. The l:4 to r portio t of the work was conducted with far morn Intl* larity and good order than the former. The &cram n'o U 'ion says:— " We do not recall to mind a single death by wanton violence on the lint, of the Central Pacific during the past year, while hardly a day has passed on the other end of the r..sd without some net of murder or other atrocity. The Chinese have honestly woo a compliment for good order, sobriety. and good work, which ought to shame tlor , e white rullian3 who are in tie habit of traducing their morals at the same time they are murdering each other."

Ifither o this 11.45 been done with the most la iilve )y results. The sprt al of the Ch:ncee . - ace in different parts of the word is one of the nanit remarkable ethnological phenomena of the age. ;SHIPPING DISASTFR ; IN THE EAST INDIES. Two terribly cyclones have recently swept over the Bay of Bengal—one on the 16th of May, the other on the 10th of June. Of the latter we as yet only know that it was extremely destructive to life and property ; but full particulars are to hand of the storm which took place on the 16th of May. The losses are of the most serious character. The town of Dacca, situated near the juncture of the Brahmapootra with a branch of the Ganges, was grea:ly injured. On the river alone £20,000 worth of merchandise was destroyed. The loss of life in this quarter was confined chiefly to the natives ; but one European, Mr. Ross Donnelly Stuart, perished. Worst of all, it h feared that the mail steamer Cheduba, of the Trit'-h India Steam Navigation Company, foun dered d tripe- the cyclone. The Bcnt',ay Ga:ete says she left the Sandbe ads early on the 15th, and nothing has since b •en heard of her. All hopes of her safety seem to have been abandoned. If the Cheduha has really foun dered there can be no hope that any of I , _er crew or pas. sengers have survived. Amongst her passengers was Major-General Robert Nicholas Faunce, of the Madras Staff Corps, an officer of about forty-five years' service. There was ala) on board Lieutenant Fergusson, of the 21st Fusiliers, besides a considerable number of natis passengers. On the west coast of India two serious wrecks have occurred. The Great Northern, of Liverpool, a ship of 1,400 tom, was lost on the 7th of June, at Bassein, and fifteen of the crew were drowned. There were no passengers. The Bucentaur, also :of Liverpool, was wrecked near Bombay on June 3, but the crew were saved. FAMINE IN INDIA. Though the end of the famine in India was announced, the mail just in brings news of very severe distress in Rajpootana. The people suffer much, the animals still more. A local paper says :—" Not more than one-fourth of the horned cattle will survive the famine. Nearly one third are already dead, and there are yet another thirty days without a chance of new grass, while it is said that the mortality will be greatest when the cattle surfeit themselves on green food." The European population is too sparse in this region to afford much asestance. The Sixth Annual Report of the Ladies' Commit tee of the Italian Aid Society, having for its object the sup port of an Orphanage for Protestant Italian Girls at Flor ence, states that " the contributions have been this year so small, that the establishment would have almost ceased to exist but for the timely aid of the American philanthro pists at Florence, and even as it is many applications for admission have to be refused." A suitable dwelling has been found, but the price was £2,000, and at the close of last year it was thought that the orphans would be obliged to vacate it. In January last, however, the Americans at Florence came forward with help, and chiefly through their exertions and contributions it is hoped that the amount will be collected. The report states that of the £2,000 pur chasa money, "£BOO is to be paid some time within the next seven months. In the meanwhile the friends of the schools at Florence will do all in their power, but they must fail un less they can have efficient aid from England and America." Many friends have seat gifts to the Orphanage, amongst others, a washing and sewing machine, by Mrs Colonel Chambers; two live lambs ald a vine plant, from General Garibaldi. Annual subscriptions and donations may be paid to the treasurer or secretary; or to the account of the Italian School Committee, at the London and Westmin ster Bank, Marylebono Branch, Stratford-place, VT. Dona tions of cast-off clothing will be thankfully received by the secretary, 10, Summer-terrace, S.W., and forwarded in November to the Orphanage. rADVERTISEMENT-J — Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills.— Notable facts.—lntense heat augments the annoyances of akin diseases and encourages the development of febrile disorders ; wherefore they should, as they can, be removed by the detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's unguent well rubbed over the affected part im mediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threatening diarrhoea, and averts incipient cholera. Tho poorer inhabitants of large cities will find these remedies to be their best friends when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulcerations point out the presence of taints or impurities within the system, and call for instant and effective curative measures.
