A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- E FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London E.C. 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 rromulghte fhe 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 cialls 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, baring 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 Besides this impottant advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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. _ _ In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1 ngest 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 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 Securit Polici es . ThePRUDENTIAL 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 HARBEN, Secretary. EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the pro d uc ti ve 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 cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. 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 d ecease o f lives assured are nearly idea ti..lal in amount with t h ose o f 1866. They are less than those of last year by near ly £19,000. A considerable red uc ti o n, too, appears in the amount of premiums p a id f or r e-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

FEDE R RIC ANDREW, Secretary. No. 10_ Poultry? London, E.C. September, 1868. We are invited to lay before our readers a chance in a curious lottery, the Galleon Treasure Venture, as given in our advertising columns. In the reign of _Queen Anne during the war between England and Holland on the one side, and Fiance and Spain on the other, Admiral Rooke and the Duke of Ormond with a fleet and an army which bad failed in an attack of Cadiz, were on their way home when the English Minister at Lisbon induced them to make a dash at Vigo, where a rich convoy of plate ships from the New World had taken re fuge. They arrived on the 22d October, 1702, and after a vigorous resistance captured and de stroyed the fleet. Six galleons, containing seven million pieces of Eight in plate and merchandise, were taken, the remaining eleven or twAve with the computed value of six millions of bullion being burnt or sunk. This was the fate of the richest flotilla that ever reached a European port, and was duly trumpeted over England and Holland as a splendid victory. About the facts there is no ques tion, and the proof is ample that a large portion of the treasure went to the bottom in the vessels. - In 1859 an English engineer obtained from the Spanish Government authority to seek for and recover the treasure. After much labour and expense he dis covered and marked by buoys the position of nine of these ships, all of which were in a fair state of preservation, though so surrounded by mud as to have assumed the appearance of mounds. Not having the necessary capital to raise these vessels, he communicated with Colonel Gowen, well known for his success in recovering the men-of war and other vessels sunk in the roadstead of Sevastopol. The Colonel proceeded to Vigo during the early part of the present month, which he saw as a land-locked harbour was admirably adapted for the proposed work, presenting an agreeable contrast to that of Sevastopol. On examining the nine vessels he found that the deepest lay under 81 fathoms of water, ranging up to 54. Four of them had not been burnt, and the hulls of the others were almost perfect. On board one the anchor was at her bows, a mortar and gun-wheel were on her deck. He cleared the mud, generally two feet, from the deck of another, and beneath were bricks, which, on being removed, exposed the deck planks six inches wide by five thick, shewing that he had hit on the floor of her cook house. The richest of the ships was taken by the Admiral, but in going through the North Channel, towards which he was driven the Monmouth prize struck on a sunken rock and immediately foun dered, but as many frigates were near all the men were saved except two. Col. Gowen supposes this rock to be the same on which her Majesty's ship America struck in 1812 in front of the South Channel. The bottom is rocky, but he thinks there is a reasonable chance of finding the lost treasure by the aid of divers. The only attempt made to recover the treasure was 20 years ago by the diving bell, which does not ad mit of any practical result, the divers being unable to descend into the holds or bottoms of vessels ; and he adds, " now with the modern invention of sub marine armour, the divers can examine the hold and every portion of a submerged vessel, and carry on their work with almost equal facility as on land. My inspection, therefore, completely sat'sfies me as to the practicability of recovering the treasure, and that at an outlay which your capital fully provides for." The scheme is, however, brought before the public as a venture, being of an entirely speculative character, though it is thought that the recovery of the treasure from one ship would be sufficient to satisfy the most s Inguine ex pectations. By the terms of the concession 25 per cent. of. what is recovered goes to the Spanish Government and by agreement 7} per cent. to the concessionaire, who is also to get £5,000 for the expenses already incurred, including the plant and materials in hand. This is a strange venture, which so caricatures history that the Eng- lish of Queen Victoria's time are invited, with the concurrence of the Spanish Government, io recover for their own benefit the Spanish fleet their ancestor sunk in the time of Qteen Anne in a harbour of Spain. HONOURABLE DISCHARGE OF MR. B. R. KEITH.— After a rigid examination in the Culla of Bankruptcy, Mr. B. R. Keith, of the late firm of Belding, Keith, and Co., was honourably acquitted, on Thursday, of any par ticipation in the events which so unexpectedly wrecked that house. We were not aware that such charges had ever been brought against hint, as we thought that the extraordinary circumstances which destroyed the business were known to have been caused by an aberration of mind in the partner then remaining its London, and which even tually led him into suicide. The assignees opposed, on the grounds of excessive expenditure, rash and hazardous speculations, and contracting debts without reasonable ex pectation of payment, but Mr. Commissioner Bacon not only acquitted Mr. Keith of these charges, but fully ac quitted the firm. He remarked on one item of expense for entertaining customers, that it was the ordinary and well known practice of all large mercantile houses in London, and, ho asserted, that had it Lot been for the sudden departure, in so unlooked-for a man ner, of Mr. Belding the business might have gone on. Indeed it is now believed that the house would have been a marked success had it not been for the unfortunate infirmi y Mr. Belding is supposed to have inherited. There is no use, however, in crying over spilt milk, and we now allude to those facts only to do an act of justice we consider to be due to Mr. Keitb, to whom our article written on the receipt of the astounding intelligence of the failure of this firm did injustice and gave pain. His Honour said that Mr Keith had been unfortunate, but notculpable, and had acquitted himself in the face of the Court and of his creditors with credit to himself, and an order was granted for an allowance to him out of the estate, an un usual circumstance, proving bow very favourable was the impression left on the Commissioner's mind. Now that velocipedes are the fashion the follow ing paragraph from the Philadelphia Post may be of inte rest : —" The latest vehicular invention (but still, like great many inventions, one of the earliest known) is the property of aMilesian of Philadelphia. Ho calls it a wheel ocipede.' It has the advantage of only needing one wheel, and is not only one of the most useful of this description of vehicles, but absolutely the safest. The operator rests his feet on the ground, and his whole body upon his feet, and guides the arrangement by means of a pair of bars. It is capable of use in building operations, for the conveyance of earth, sand, and such materials, and will doubtless su persede, in the end, all the bicyles and other descriptions of velocipedes." The lands granted according to the Report of the Secretary of the Interior to the United States Senate, un der existing laws for railroads and waggon roads to States, Territories, and corporations, up to Jan. 30, 1867, is 21,561,000 acres ; for canals nearly 4,500,000 acres; that The quantity certified to the following -named States sin a d c a r t e e s ;is Californasia, s ali f f o o r ll n o i N a v , s :r—ailllroiandnse,so2ta,6,oofoor a r c a r i e lr su o i a ro d, a s di,, 6 l / 9 0,. 50 0 i0 0 .6 0 waggon roads, 7 acres; Michigan, cana ls, 280,000 2,000 acres; Oreg on, total of 27,0 00 , 000 acres.
