It has been said that the Civil War was a struggle for Empire on the part of the North, and we believe this to have had abroader meaning than the author of the saying was aware of.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN. The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The p r emises now occupied are cro w d e d and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for snore beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be adulated in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme. Contributions will be thankfully received by tho Trea surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell; or by SHEERRD B. BURNABY, HQU. See., r4OOTY, WaPpiAg i g. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued 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 Unforfoitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 pi omium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on tho discontinuance of the assurance.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 i the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on those points, as is the 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 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-fivo years, and tho shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, end others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maiutain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies axe held as collateral -security. It is only necessary to add that, as n eonsequenee of tbe policies under those tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchnliongeable on any i. : round whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The I'RUDENTE AT. ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,600 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains tbo largest amount of new busliness of any office iu tbo Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED.

This Hospital, founded iu 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 for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick bas for a considerable period averaged be tween 8,000 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. • Contritr,tions are received by their bankers, Messrs.

Small stages, however, do furnish examples, such for instance as the island of Great Britain, where the benefit of the people has assuredly been consulted by fusing the inhabitants into one, community, under one government, instead of hostile clans, principalities, and kingdoms. Amal gamated, England became for many years the lead ing nation of the world, founding the most success ful of all settlements. Divided, England would have left no such mark nor have made any such history. What bas been of such unspeakable benefit to Great Britain is likely in the course of ages to be beyond comparison more beneficial to the continent of North America, and it was this Empire that the Union men had in their mind's eye when they fought to the end their great fight, and were prepared to fight it all over again sooner than lose the result. Englishmen will not appreciate it, and will not see the gigantic issue involved, condemning the American with whom it overshadows a side issue in itself of undoubted moral right and vast importance, yet as nothing compared with the other. Emancipatioa affected the well being of an existing generation numbering four millions ; it had social consequences that ramified over the nation, and in a money way alone involved property valued at $3,000,000,000. But this was, like the property tax levied on the inheritance compared with the inheritance itself, though there are those who cen sure the inheritor for attaching more importance to the estate than to the tax. The great triumph of the war was in preventing North America from becoming a second Europe. In the establishment of a Slave Empire able to maintain itself, together with the rise of the Dominion, another nation soon to be independent, America would have been split up and further subdivision might have followed. Then would have been achieved what Europe panted to see, not that Europe hated the Republic of the day, but dreaded the Republic of the future. That the Northern people thought more of their unity on the Continent than of the emancipation of the negroes shows that they took, in regarding the po sition, a broader and more comprehensive view than their detractors; and the nation was justified in the prospect of such a calamity in its determination to uphold that unity, no matter at what cost of life and suffering. It would be mere infatuation to suppose that the Northern people designed to ex terminate their brethren in the South for the sole purpose of emancipating an alien and despised race, with whom they had but little sympathy ; and al though there were thousands whose object this was, and who could see nothing beyond the grievous moral wrong, yet the fixed decision of the national heart was to preserve the great empire of the future, whers.in lay, as plain sense told them, a destiny of the utmost importance to mankind. They may fail in achieving their ideal ; other an] snore insurmountable difficulties may arise, and the war, except in the abolition, of slavery, may have been fought in vain. But there is good reason to think that there never was less chance of this than at the prevent moment, for its cost was a great price paid for a great end, which the people the more value, because they have bought it for so much, and have learnt to see how cheap it was even at that heavy price when finding th emse l ves on th e b r i n k of the .al ternative. What Europe dreads is an u n j ust use by the Republic of its overwhelming strength in the future. But would there nothave been more danger in thecon stunt bickering and the entangling alliances which would have followed the successful establishment of the Confederacy? For a hundred years the Republic will have snore than it can do in filling up its waste places ; its policy will be purely American, and would now be so but for the political connection kept up with America by Europe. That connection will soon cease, for if the positive assertion of the New York Sun be true, General SICKLES has been instructed to offer a certain sum to the Spaniards to withdraw from Cuba, the bonds to be gua ranteed by the United States, provided Congress sanction the treaty; the alternative being that the United States will recognize the independence of the island on the offer being rejected. Great Bri tain is desirous of withdrawing from her vast pos sessions in North America, and when this is ac complished the severance will be complete, and we cannot conceive how any case could arise that would lead to a war between the Republic and any European Power. A good international code lo nestly administered would effectually prevent any such contingency, and America would secure all it wants, for all it asks is to be left to itself to carry out its own destiny ; when in failing to achieve its ideal the failure would be its own. It is a well ascertained fact that the prosperity of one country adds to the prosperity of another. The more abun dantly the earth is made to yield her fruits the better for all on this globe, and more especially is the prosperity of the North American continent likely to be of service to mankind, particularly to Europeans. It is a great granary, it is a rich and ready customer ; and, above all, it is an asylum for the oppressed and the poor. The oppressed and the poor may be taken to be the majority of Eu rope, and it is not among them and their children, millions of whom will yet seek its shelter, that the Republic must look for its enemies. We are at a loss to see real grounds why it should have enemies, for in the prosperity of a continent the rich are even snore directly interested than the poor. To them it is the opening up of new sources of wealth, broad fields for investment, luxury, invention, and travel ; but still more in the very asylum to the poor which it provides. What the rich of Europe owe to the way in which the public lands of the Republic have been thrown open to all, can never be known, but it is doubtless more than can readily be conjectured. It draws off the energy—the bone and sinew of discontent turning into a useful channel the very element of danger the luxurious classes in Europe have most to dread ; and the greater the extent to which America can do this the better for them. Unity is the best means, for by combination a power is obtained to secure the end of l w it h u t e ch le n ss othing up and subduing ea thelt hy waste, era else openi ngcould inte rested in this than those who more directl y benefit w by emigration ; and our own impression is that were the exodus shut out for a few years from America, the result would be a revolution that would capsize many Old World Institutions.
