September 18684 cx- BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CITALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not ❑nfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Lifo 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. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 the 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 be called upon to advance so as to m-►int'tin the full benefit of the Assuralices--a matter of g-eat importance where policies are held :►s collateral security.

The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as h av i ng i mprove d at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ' • or, if the profit shown of £16,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on now assurances are £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re -assured having t erm i nated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400.

HENRY ROSE, Auditors. The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. - -- The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

What the Emperor will do in consequence of the recent vote of t lie country is again the chief topic. Numerous councils of Ministers have been held at the Tuileries. Prince Ifapoleon, says the Presse, has made frequent visita to his relative. . Amongst the signs that public men are making up their minds for some change, is a long letter in the Constitutionnet, from the Due de Persigny. He expresses his opinion that the Government should be " just and firm ;" that it has nothing to fear from the present situation ; and he seems to think that fresh liberal concessions may safely be made. But his Grace does not enlarge upon the nature and number of these concessions. A Cabinet Council, lasting three hours, was held on Saturday. MM. Ronher and Forcade la Roquette were there, both looking, we are told, " very uncomfortable." It is rumoured that M. Haussmann has resigned. PRUSSIAN DOMINATION IN TILE BALTIC. The Patrie continues the publication—perhaps also the fabrication—of sinister news respecting Prussia. It now states that Prussia's activity in pushing forward the North German navy arises from a desire to acquire naval supremacy in the Baltic and the North Sea. So far as the Baltic is concerned, this is probably true, but how Prussia can hope to attain supremacy in the North Sea whilst England's coast line is washed by it is by no means clear. The Patrie adds, however, that Den mark is seriously alarmed at these German designs, and is augmenting her own fleet—which is already of respect able proportions—as fast as possible. Sweden and Hol land are doing the same. "The intimate relationsbetween these three States deserve to be seriously noted." Clearly the Paris official papers are beginning another campaign against Prussia, let the object be what it may. THE GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY IN SPAIN. The debate on the Regency Bill in the Spanish Cortes has elicited a highly-important statement. General Prim has admitted that the Government cannot find a king. There are, of course, very many princes out of work; most of whom would have no objection to accept a suitable job ; but Prim frankly confesses that no candidate worth having will come forward in the present dolubtful state of the country. A Regency is therefore necessary to give matters a settled look, and then there will be "plenty of applicants." It is even hinted that Dom Fernando may then repent of his deter• urination. LOYALTY. A story told of the Crown Prince of Prussia furnishes another illustration of the truth that kings have suffered almost as much from the ridicule cast upon them by their supporters as from the hatred of their enemies. The Daily News correspondent relates that "when the Crown Prince was at Colberg last week, and walked upon the beach, he was regularly bombarded with flowers and nose gays. One large bouquet, evidently aimed at his head, struck him on the eye with such violence as to occasion considerable pain, and cause the tears to flow freely." The commandant of the town informed the people by proclama tion that this was too much loyalty. BRIGANDAGE IN AUSTRIA. The depredations of brigands in the Austrian provinces of Bosnia and Croatia became so formidable some time ago that the authorities were utterly unequal to deal with them. One of the robber captains was, however, induced to surrender with his men, on condition that none of them were sentenced to death or life imprison ment. During the inquiry into their crimes they were employed as a police force in hunting down their brother brigands, and highly successful they proved. Had this catching of thieves by thieves gone on uninterruptedly the country would soon have been cleared. But the crimes disclosed by the inquiry were so numerous and flagrant, that decency demanded some sentence upon these new policemen, and they were all cast into prison, the captain and his lieutenant for eighteen years. It wouldn't do, however. The robbers at large took fresh courage ; their operations became as extensive as ever. It was found necessary to release the captive brigands, and again employ them in running their comrades to earth. So much were their services needed, that the captain was telegraphed for, and left the prison with a free pardon. THE CUBAN INSURGENTS. The news, announced in our American telegrams some days ago, that Peru had recognised the Cubans as belli gerents caused some excitement at New York. It was confidently expected that Chili, Bolivia, and Equador would do the same, and this expectation has in part been justified, for another telegram a dayor two ago announced that the former State had followed the example of Peru. There is more talk of fitting out expeditions, and it seems that efforts will still be made to keep the insurrection alive. INDIAN AFFAIIIS. The heat in India has maintained an average of ninety degrees in the coolest places for the past month, and the thermometer is likely to keep at this figure for the next few weeks. Hence people do nothing, and there is little news. Cholera is very prevalent in one or two places, and has made its appearance amongst the European troops at Kamptee, but this latter outbreak is not serious. The intelligence from AfTgbanistau consists chiefly of the cheering intimation that " Cabul news has again, after twelve months' unnatural consistency, dropped bark to its normal chaotic and unintelligible state." Mr. Lowe has got into trouble with the Indian papers through his statement on the 4th of March, that he had received no official information regarding Abyssinian accounts and expenditure since the 17th of December. The Times of India maintains that examined accounts, representing a million and a quarter, had been received in England after that date. Up to the 22nd of May last accounts for seven millions had been sent home, and very little was then left to be done. In short, whatever complaint may be made of extrava gance, the Bombay Government has done its best to enable the English people to realise all the pleasing figures as soon as possible. In fact, the Times correspon dent thinks there must have been a mistake somewhere. Never before have the accounts of an English war been made up so rapidly. This celerity is so unusual as to be positively alarming. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. The operations against the Maories are still going on. The Wanganui Chronicle gives an account of a battle on the West Coast, the enemy being surprised and driven from one of their strongest positions. " The loss on our aide, so far, was four killed and twelve wounded, while the loss of the enemy must have been heavy —seven dead rebels, at least, were counted under the feet of our ad. vancing columns. All the tents of a large encampment, and many arms of various descriptions, were captured, be- sides a large number of women and children." As the date of this engagement is given so far back as the 13th of March, it appears to be but the same as that described a short time ago. 7R. .4 /N/ N G REPORTS. ------ -- MALTON.—As regards our Northumberland Plate nag, The Spy, he is looking and doing as well as any horse in the world can be, as also are the following:—Viscount, George Osbaldeston, Lady Z Aland, Gle•ilivat, Atreus, Hock, Janet Rawcliffe, The Cure colt, Louisa colt, Calli lxelia, filly by Rubiui, Sir Digby, Blair Athol filly, Nil Desperandum, Carfax, Amendment, Londesb3rough Fichu, Soubrette, My Lord, War, Fecialis, and Kentish Fire. RICIIMOND.—The following horses have Leen doing good work since my last : —Geant des Batailles, Brennus, Xthon, Falkland, King Cole, Valtz, Meteor filly, Fragrance, East Coast, Da Clare, Attache, Divulger, Enterprise, Italian Gipsy, The Bobby, Danube, Gleaner, Mansfield, Zeno, Waterloo, Number Nip, Little Bell, Last Rose of Summer, Hugo, Affinity, Beauty, and others. The filly by Lacydes, Woodbine filly, and Trumpeter filly left Jacob 'Watson's on Tuesday, for Winter's ~to be trained. Bete Noir goes on to Windsor, to run there, from Ascot. FYFIELD.—In the Windsor Handicap, Skipjack is en gaged. Ile is well, and with his light weight ought to win. He is well in for the Eton Handicap, as also Vic tress, but the la-t-named is away at Ascot. MIDDLEHAM.—The following horses have been doing work the last few days :—Osborne's King's Cross, Pom fret, Weatherstar, Minaret, and his two year olds; Briggs's Bracken, Pride of Erin, Sweetmeat, La Charantonne, Duchess of Athol, Mysotis, Sunshade, Canon, Lord Hare wood, Terror, and Fortunio ; Winter's Mexico, Three per Cent., Colonel, and Hawthornside ; and Summer's Ho nestish. The Dean, Derventio, and Glengarry have come home from Ascot, so I should say The Dean will not run at Windsor, and I doubt if anything will go from here ; but the four and fivo year old fillies out of Miss Sarah are well, and may be sent. The horse by Young Mel bourne is also very well, and not badly in in the Windex. Handicap. GOODWOOD MEETING. —The Right Iron.
