A BSO LUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- I 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St . James's. The Directors of this Company, in' deference to en 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, i n; ne 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. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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. In addition to tho 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 he 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 odd that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Seeurity Policies. The PRUDENTrAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un- questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any office in tho Kingdom.

THE TWO DELEGATIONS. - - - The recent common sitting end common vote of the Austt ian and Hungarian delegat ionswasthefirst of the kind, It possesses some interest for English readers, from the fact that the chief subject of tho difference which gave rise to it was the income tax paid by the Lloyd Steam Navigation Company. This company receives a seebsi.ty from the common exchequer, ret.d the two former de'..,:ga t ions subtracted the income tax from the subsidy, ' n t i n the last Budget passed by the Iteichsrath the Lloyd income tax was placed as revenue. The leichsra'..h Delegation held that it should be paid to the special Budget of Austi is, as Trieste., the s ea t of the Company is within Austrian territory. The Hungarians, on the other hand, held that as the subsidy was paid in common the revenue should likewise be common. A compromise was proposed but not accepted, and the question was put to the vote. The Hungarians carried the day, as 64 votes against 34 decided that the income tax of the Lloyd is to be put in the common estimates as revenue. Another question referred to tho purchase of two gunboats for the Danube for £40,000, which the Hungarian Delegation had sanctioned and the Austrians rejected. This also was settled in favour of tho Hungarians, there being 59 for the purchase. and only 39 against ; so that the Danube will have its gunboats. THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Russian army is the greatest in Europe. It was stated last yearthat it contained, with field forces, local forces, and irregular troops, 1,469,000 men. This host is scattered, however, and the: want of railways would not allow of its being concentrated ; but allowing for these drawbacks, the army of Russia would be formidable in any battle-field. Some dangers are contemplated in the present system, by which the soldiers are taken by conscription, remain by service for several years, and are liable to be called on afterwards as occasion may require. The soldiers are, for the most part, well satisfied with their position, and sometimes regret their dismissal to their homes. The Russian soldier is not educated to any extent, but he is kept con- stantly employed, and is clever in the use of tools for all trades. Even the Poles take a liking to the mili- tary service after a few months, and the rural population of Poland is far more reconciled to the Ri-ssian rule than the nobles and the educated classes. The Russian army is gradually assuming a more Democratic tone, but the religious feeling among the soldiers is very strong. The emancipation of the serfs has tended considerably to improve the position of the soldier, who now displays more individuality. The Russian troops are distinguished for their marching powers, and this has always been considered one of the chief characteristics of good troops. Great progress has been made of late in the military tactics of Russia. Ths practice of the art of war is not confined to field-days. THE TURKISH NAVY. The Sultan is making great efforts to improve his fleet. A small iron frigate, called the Avni flab, or aid of God, has just been built for him at the Thames Ironworks, and a sister vessel, the Minui Tager, or Aid of Victory, is being constructed by Mr. Samuda. These additions will raise the Turkish iron fleet to thirteen vessels, a larger number than Russia has. Some of them are formidable ships and all are armed with 300 or GOO pounder rifled guns. The Sultan, it is said, regrets the loss of the King William and wishes to have another built precisely like her. Such ships as he has, however, would be amply sufficient to defend the straits of the Dardanelles if anchored under the great forts. The two ships just built in this country are similar in tonnage, horse-power, and armament. The Avni Ilah, however, has a French screw, on M. Magnan's principle, while the Minui Tager is being constructed with a twin screw. Great interest is felt among shipbuilders in the result of this test of the relative merits of the two methods. The twin screw, it is thought, trill prove the fastest. The Avni flab, in her trial trip on Tuesday, attained a mean of about twelve knots. Her screw, however, shook her severely, and as she carries nearly the same weight of armour as the Warrior, this is the more to be regretted. A fresh trial of her 'Teed trill be 117e(10 in A few cba", after which she will start for Constantinople. TURKEY AND AMERICA. The Thant Herald states that the endeavour to make a nationality treaty between the Turkish Government and the T-Tnited States has failed. The reason assigned for the failure is the new Ottoman law which will not permit a Turkish subject to be naturalised abroad without the direct permission of the Porte. The Washington Govern ment will not accept the limitation of its right to naturalise any foreigner who complies with its laws. THE IRISH LAND QUESTION. The Times Commissioner devotes his eighth letter to the history of agrarian crime in Ireland, and especially in the county of Tipperary. Without going with the writer back to the twelfth century, at which point he starts, it is clear that agrarian outrages, bad as they yet are, have much declined of late years. Ever since Strongbow landed in the country, the antagonism between the conquering and the conquered race has led the weaker party to have recourse to murder and arson. From the time of Cromwell up to the middle of the eighteenth century the spirit of the native Irish seemed to have declined, and the popula tion sank into the state of serfdom so energetically de scribed by Swift. But their numbers gradually multiplied, and their increasing strength or their increasing poverty united them into those combi nations ever since known by the name of agrarian. These outrages commenced about 1761, their first occasion being the eviction of cottiers upon a large scale, and the extinction of some ancient privileges of pasture in the south of Tipperary. The move ment soon spread throughout the country, taking the form of the Whiteboy organisation, and dealing out death to Protestants and Boman Catholics with out distinction. In 1708 regular rebellion took the place of irregular outrage. In the 18 years between 1816 and 1834—a period of great poverty—agrarianism was very rampant. In the years about the time of the famine there was a great outbreak. Tipperary alone, in 1844, was disgraced by not less than 253 agrarian crimes, including five murders, and 23 conspiracies or attempts to murder, 'lB cases of incendiary fires, 119 threatening letters, and twenty instances of firing into dwellings. It is evident that things are much better now. The gradual rise of prosperity, better relations between the high and the low, and other causes, have greatly mitigated the evil. Thirty-five years ago Sir Robert Peel declared that law in Tipperary was a mockery, and the British Constitution a ghastly phantom. This language of that very calm states man would be unsuitable now. Nevertheless agra rianism has prevailed in Tipperary within the last twenty years to an extent that must excite appre hension, great crimes have been committed through its influence, and the terror which it inspires is by no means yet extinct. The Knight of Kerry expresses his apprehension that the " injustice in one direction is likely to be met by a proposal to inflict injustice in another." He grants that some thi ngs nee d reform, b ut he protests against hasty or extreme legislation. He has no hesitation iu asserting that a vast number of promi nent agitators seek something far beyond amend ment—in short, a dishonest transfer of property. To meet this danger the Knight of Kerry suggests a defensive combination of landlords." But such an association should be above 'suspicion, and be presided over by such men as the Duokreosuo:ll., and Ab theereoru and Leinater. Lords Erne and Bessb like " nusn STATISTICS. from returns just issued it appears that the number of acres in Ireland under crop cultivation has increased by 27,000 during the past year. Live stock, which have of late years decreased, spew a reaction. There are now 2,600 more horses, 81,000 more h orne d cattle, and 210,000 more pigs than in 1868. Emigra tion has slightly extended. This year there were 45,340 emigrants ; last year, during the same pe r i o d, the number was 42,607, spewing an increase of 2,639 persons. One very suggestive fact deserves mention. It appears that in Ireland there are 88,000 houses in which one room has to serve for th e en ti re f am il y, and these are inhabited by half a million of persons.
