ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LFORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Loudon, 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 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 cawe whatever; while at the - same time it absolutely guarantees at daceasP, when even a de fault is made in payment of tl -, premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, burin; the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr,_ minms 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 this case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono 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 bo 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 1-ngest term provided for is.twenty-five year , , and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, nisi others holding policies of this el iss as security, may siwsys know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance seas to maintsin the 101 benefit of the 1 Assurasscs —a matter of groat importance where policies hem It is only neces s ary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfe:tab!e and uncon ditional, they will also be unchaliongeable on any •issund 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.

This Hospital, founded in .the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent :or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the drstizute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent., as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

Another important confidential conversation purporting `.o have taken place between two personages of the highest -ank in America has been reported, verbatim, by the ji:7tcd and indefatigable New York journalists. The Eveniag Post says that a few days ago a functionary of .high position, and an uncompromising Protectionist, called upon General Grant tohearhis "platform" on tariff matters. The President appears to have been unusually confidential. Going straight to the point, he replica that he was resolutely -opposed to all legislation for the purpose of increasing the duties ni goods imported into the 'United States. He would rather that the heaviest of these Customs' duties were entirely suppressed than that the trade of the country should be. hampered by greater burdens of the kind. The revenue certainly did not require increased duties. It is highly satisfactory to hear this ; but the important ques tion to decide is whether these remarks really did come from General Grant, er whether they were dreamed by one of the imaginative literary men of the Post. LAW CLASSES. In connexion with the lectures classes will he conducted under the guidance and superintend3uce of tha lecturers, and will precool concurrently with the lectures. The number of subscribers to each class will bo limited, and the inAruction given will be confined to an examination of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject.

The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex amination will test, from time to ime, the progress made by the students.

FREDERIC ANDREW Secretary, No. 10_ Poultry' London, E.C. September 18681 DETENTION Or A BRITISH SHIP AT NEW TOlll4 It is announced from Washington that the American Government a few days ago ordered the release of the British ship Quaker City. This vessel was detained at New York through the representations of the Spanish Consul, on the suspicion that she was intended for an un- lawful voyage to Cuba. 011DED =STORED IN CUBA. The danger arising from the mutiny of the Spanish volunteers at ilavannah is at an end. The departure of General Dulce, the object of the volunteers' resentment, has restored order. General Espinar, who has assumed the command pending the arrival of General de Rodas, announces that perfect tranquillity prevails, and that it will be unnecessary to send more troops. DUELLING IN ITALY. Another shocking case of duelling is reported from Italy. Four youths met in deadly conflict at Faenza a few days ago to fight out a quarrel which had taken place at the last Carnival ! Pre viously to this double duel the parties dined together with, every appearance of cordiality. The conditions agreed upon were that each combatant should be supplied with a pistol, and that knives were to terminate the fight if the firearms did not prove decisive. The correspondent of the Herald, who describes this senseless encounter, says that in both cases the pistols were fired off without effect, and the second act of the drama began. One pair of combatants fought with great fury, and in a few minutes both men were on the ground, one with five wounds and the other with seven. A fortunate accident put an end to the second encounter, for one of the knives, coming into contact with a button or some other hard substance, was broken in two, and the horrid spectacle of their friends weltering in blood seems to have suggested other thoughts than that of continuing the conflict. A medical man who was called to the spot pronounced the recovery of the two wounded lads to be all but honeless. ITALY. General Fleury, aide-de-camp cf the Emperor Napoleon, has been appointed Ambassador of France at the Court of Florence. This diplomatist has previously filled several important posts. The Patric says he is in high favour at Vienna and Florence, and his appointment, "at a time when a marked friendliness has been brought about be tween France, Italy, end Austria." is a fact of some importance. TIIE CAMPAIGN OF THE "PATEIE." The semi-official Paris Patric has the pleasure of record. ing more unfavourable news respecting Prussia. The state of affairs in Hanover is very bad indeed. The hostility to domination is on the increase. Very many young men are emigrating to America, in order to avoid the conscription, " avowing that they will never return to their country until it is delivered from the presence of foreigners." Workmen had been sent from Berlin to push on the fortifications at Stade, but the conflicts between these importations and the inhabitants have been so numerous and serious that the unhappy workmen have refused to remain. Hence the works have been suspended. At Berlin the authorities do not know what to do. This is a very gloomy state of thingsindeed. Unfortunately nobody else hears anything of these alarm. ing procedures. The Pattie enjoys a monopoly of the interesting intelligence as to the emigration. It may be rem arked that Hanover, commanding as it doe s the two ports of Hamburg and Bremen within easy reach, has always supplied a good proportion of the German emigrants who soughtthei r fortunes in the United States, and that the fugi tive Hanoverians.generally find their prospects in America so superior to anything that Europe can offer, that without any regard to the "presence of foreigners" they never care to return to the beloved fatherland. It seems that the Pat)* ba§ received orders to open the campaign against Prussia, as it did in the case of Belgium. CONCESSION TO TEE ALSTEIAN POLES. The Austrian Government has adopted a measure of great importance in the way of conciliating the Poles. It has been resolved that Polish shall for the future be the official language in all branches of the public service in Gallicia, anti that it shall be used as the language of tuition in the universities of Cracow and Lemberg. An ordinar_ce to this effect has been approved by the entire Austrian Cabinet, and has received the signature of the Emperor. This concession will give great offence to the Russian Government, which has chosen precisely the on• uosite course. TILE SUEZ CANAL. The Viceroy of Egypt's journey is not proving very successful. The Paris correspondent of the Independance Beige is positive that one object of his perambulation through Europe was to bring about an agreement among the Powers touching the neutrality of the Suez Canal. But the Powers are not disposed to move in the matter. The Viceroy applied first to the Emperor of Austria, who referred him to Count Beust. The Chan cellor, as announced in our telegram a day or two ago, replied that he could do nothing without the agreement of France. He would not put the French Government to any inconvenience. Scarcely less successful has been the enthusiastic Viceroy's invitations to the various sovereigns to be present at the opening of the canal. The King of Italy excuses himself, so does the Emperor of Austria, even the Sultan does not seem disposed to make the short journey from Constantinople to Said, and the Independence whispers that, in consequence of these numerous refusals, the Empress of the French may not go after all. A TELEGRAPH TO CHINA. The project of laying a telegraph wire to China by way of Siberia and Russia makes progress. The schema is feasible, because a line already crosses the greater part of the Russian Empire, and it remains only to connect the extreme East of Siberia with China by sea. It is said that the Russian Government has granted to certain parties in London the concession of the right of laying a submarine cable, with a monopoly for forty years, from the mouth of the River Amoor, in Eastern Siberia. The cable is to run to Japan, and thence to Shanghai, the Government undertaking to complete as far as the mouth of the river the land-line of telegraph wire, which already crosses the greater part of Siberia up to a point within COO miles from the coast. When this undertaking is complete, and better communication is established with India, there will remain only one very great telegraphic enterprise to be aooomplished—a cable to Australia.
