Agitation has prevailed throughout Italy since the gist-tax riots of last January. The Florence correspon: dent of the Independence Beige says that the state of affairs may hi. compared to a mine of latent disorder ; the slightest incident may cause an explosion. At Ancona, as we have already detailed, serious tumults have been caused by an increase of the oetroi duties. The rioters got possession of the Town Hall, burned the registers, and smashed the furniture. The local govern ment found itself so powerless that it made a pure and simple renunciation of the proposed increase. These disturbances may not be directly connected with the coa spiracy, but they cannot fail to prove favourable to it. The same writer confirms the statement that a von spiracy has been discovered, and that numerous arrests have been made. "The details are wanting but the fact is incontestable." Seditious societies have been dissolved, and seditious proclamations taken out of the hands of the troops. A central army is about to be established in a commanding popition, so as to reach any given point at the shortest notice.?. The Libn•te s. that Arazzini is no p ar ty t o th e ridicu lous inflamm a t ''' oclamations w hi c h h ave b een pub lished.

Re is .. well aware that th e arm y i s th e c hi e f support of the marshy , and he is attempting, not to disorganise, but tn - Republicanise it. In the 70th Regiment of the Line, for instance, nearly all the inferior officers have been " converted." At Capri, where a " discipline company " exists, no less than seventy soldiers have been put under restraint. Nevertheless, the Liberte does not apprehend any immediate outbreak. It thinks - the plot is hardly yet ripe ; blazzini is too wary to trust himself to a few soldiers. But the time must come soon. 'RECE.e.

"F2 1 "IlING STOCK. No Extra Charge is made for the use of Steam Thrashing Ma:•hines. The Rover ionary Bonus on British LIFE POLICIES has averaged nearly 2 per cent:per:annum on the sum assured.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Ant ual General Meeting hold on the 27th November, 1868 : 1. 'he 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 £100,8 9 3, 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 largo 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 w ole of Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on cred t. 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.

ABSOLUTE S!4:CURE l'Y POLICIES, 11 N CFORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issue-d by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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 Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengenble. many persons hesitate or d that, in the e ve n t of deel For tu t t h o e a r s e s a u s r o e n o r n e fg e r egdr ground 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 event 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 n d v a a t n origi ataugye,tieuvwerybe p oli cy origi nally contracted to bo paid. Besides withdrawn on will i‘itat su m simport a t ex presslyessets this v the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always h a ve 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 bo 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-fire years, and the s h or t es t five years, as shown by the Tables. T us, hankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this chss 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 s consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any Around 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.

COPIA 066 &r Qom-MO OW N& - - • TRZ OCCUPATION OP ROME. The Italian Green•book has just appeared. It contains some important despatches relative to the occupation of Rome. These documents throw much light upon the situation between France and Italy. They state clearly that no immediate evacuation of Rome by the French troops is probable, and proving, as they do, the inability of the Italian Government to satisfy its people on this most important point, they go far to explain the serious conspiracy just discovered. Frcm the 6th of January to the 22nd of August, 1868, General Menabrea sent several despatches to the Italian Embassy at Paris recording the efforts of the Florence Government to arrive at a friendly understanding with the Papal Court. Bases for a modus vivendi had been suggested. Italy had done all that could he expected of her in respect to the Pontifical debt. Brigandage across the Papal frontier had been vigorously repressed by the Italian troops. But these measures had not succeeded in conciliating the Roman Government ; and the Florence Cabinet had finally arrived at the conclusion that such a result was impossible whilst the oc ccupation of Rome continued. Feeling convinced that the presence of the French troops on the Papal terri tory was one of the principal inducements to the Papal Government to maintain an attitude of hostility against Italy, General Menabrea formally requested that the army of occupation be withdrawn. On the 2nd of September, last year, the Italian Ambassador at Paris replied to this despatch. Ile had seen the French Foreign Minister, but could obtain no satisfactory reply. Indeed, he was plainly told that though the French Govern ment was of opinion that the occupation should not be continued long, yet it did not think that the time for terminating it bad yet arrived. General Menabrea answered that the Italian Government was painfully affected by this declaration. In a last despatch on the 23rd of November, General Menabrea said that the French Government wholly mistook the state of affairs in Italy in deciding upon the maintenance of the occupation. Abroad it was always represented that Italy was on the eve of a revolution, whereas, nothing could be further from the truth. He would not, however, continue the dis. cussion. It will thus be seen that the Italian Cabinet has done everything short of war in order to secure the evacua tion of Rome. It seems that the Italians, or at least a formidable party of them, are bent upon the last appeal. " THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE." It seems odd, after this clear statement of the rela tions between Italy and France, that the rumours of an alliance between these two States and Austria should keep in circulation, But such is the case. As the discussion relative to the occupation of [tome ended in November last, it is just possible that fresh negotiations of some kind may have been opened between the Cabinets ofFlorence andraris. The revival of these triple-alliance rumours is due to an article in the Peziple, an Imperialist organ which is supposed by some to have a very exalted personage as a contributor. This article exhorts the public not to credit the reports in c,irculaddon, but it does not deny the existence of the triple alliance. On the contrary, it hints that if such an alliance has not been made, there are circumstances which might bring it about. The article is evidently a warning to Pru,sia. And if certain letters from Perlin are to he believed, Count llismarcl: is far from feeling secure just and is hard at xvoik devising counter schemes against this great plan. 110V.', TERRIBLE VOTACE OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. A day or two ago we published some details of a disas trous voyage made by an emigrant ship from Liverpool to New York. The vessel took three months to cross the Atlantic. One hundred and fortysix passengers, all poor, were carried, the steerage being much overcrowded, and, worse still, the crew thoroughly inefficient. Very stormy weather set in, and fever and diarrhoea attacked the pas sengers. But even the horrible sufferings causedby- disease, tempests, and an incapable crew were not all that these emigrants had to undergo. Many of them have given evidence on oath of the cruelties inflicted upon them. One witness, an English mechanic, declared that during one week of his voyage he had but two quarts of meal for his entire food, that the car penter and boatswain repeatedly beat the passengers, and that a dying sailor was dragged on to the deck with a rope, kicked by a cabin-boy to make him rouse to work, but as he could not Work, left half naked on deck till some one in pity dragged him to the hospital to die. Food was given to the passengers uncooked. They were brutally treated if they dared to complain. At length when the voyage, which usually occupies a few days, had been com pleted in three months, eighteen of the passengers and crew were dead, and of the remainder 72 were in various stages of illness. The story is now being told before the Emigration Commissioners of New York. It is a narrative of misery which would not inadequately represent the horrors of a slave ship. THE REVOLT IN CUBA. General Grant will give no support, moral or material, to the Cuban insurgents. A deputation recently waited upon him urging the recognition of the rebels as bellige rents ; but the President simply referred his consistent countrymen to his inaugural speech, in which he proclaims his intention to respect the neutrality laws. Unfortu. nately, if the President respect these laws, the American people do not. MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty's brig Martin, boys' training brig, 8 guns, Lieutenant George B. Evans, arrived at Portsmouth about 10 a.m., yesterday, in tow of the paddle steamer Medusa, Staff-Corumander G. B. E. Swain, on her return from Dover; where she formed one of the squadron of ships• of-war intended to take part in the .Volunteer Review of Monday last. The Martin has lost her bow sprit and head-gear from collision with the Medusa in Dover Roads, during the rough weather pre vious to daylight on Monday. The Medusa had two boats smashed, aed suffered other damage to her port netting, sponson, &c. No blame can Le attached to either vessel. Riding as they were in such an exposed anchorage, in such exceptionally rough weather, and on a weather tide, it is some what surprising that the collision was not more serious. The Medusa had steam up at the time. The Martin had been towed out from the harbour at Dover the previous evening by a private steam tug, at the expense of the officer commanding her, in order to obtain a position clearer of other ship ping, as the weather was threatening. The Royal Marine Barracks, vacated by the Woolwich division of that force, will be handed over to the Deputy-Assistant-Quartermastor's Ge neral's Department of the garrison on the 21st of May next, for occupation by other troops.
