The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfroquently 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 thorn 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 pi emium 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 bo paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ox pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. Tho assured will.thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum p a y a bl e a t d ecease, 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 ono greatly protective of their interest; and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who aro 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. Tho longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tor; and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount th e y may b o called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of groat 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 Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of X 215,000 a year. Its position is tin. questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any offico in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Railway Terminus, King's Cross. Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN. Vice-Patron— Mg Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. President—His Grace the Duko of BUCCLEUCII, K.G. This Hospital, founded to the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to tho sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent :or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large nuniber of in-patients, and, in addition to this, tbo average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 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.

The grand day of tho Liege festival was most fortunately ushered in by brilliant weather, and this was the more encouraging as the fetes had not at first been favoured in this respect. The King arrived at the station at half-past ten, accompanied by the Count of Flanders, and great preparations were made to give him a suitable reception. After conferring with the municipal authorities, his Majesty proceeded on horseback along the streets of the town. He was received in the most enthusiastic manner, and the town presented an animated appearance. Upon reaching the place where the English volunteers were drawn up the King went up to them and shook hands with Colonel Thompson, expressing at the same time his satisfaction at seeing them on the Belgian soil. When he came to the French division his Majesty addressed some observations to M. Treitte, the commander, and said ho hoped to meet all the volunteers in Brussels before their departure. The great centre of attraction was the Place St. Lambert, and great excitement was manifested in its immediate vicinity. Flowers were thrown from the balconies, and some enthusiastic citizens brought the tin d'honneur to the officers of the staff, and the ccamnan.- ders of tho volunteers. The King having taken up his position in the Place, the troops marched past him, and at half-past one the eorgpany dispersed to meet again at the grand banquet at the l Palais de Justice. This important affair took place - 0:, three o'clock, and the King's appearance created greatAthusiasm. The greatest good feeling pre vailed amotg the members of the rival nationalities, and nothing,- "occurred to disturb the general harmony. The Rhlf.; delivered an appropriate speech, and gave the volun trers a warm welcome to Liege. Ho thanked the city for its reception of its distinguished guests, and recognised in the whole affair the high estimation in which Belgium was held by foreign nations. The representatives of the dif ferent countries there assembled would, he believed, learn much from thus meeting together. The Royal Speech was responded to by the heads of the respective contingents. The banquet passed off in the most successful manner, and the festivities were kept up to a late hour. The streets . were crowded, and tho city was beautifully illuminated. 54 THB HIND OF HOLLAND. The General Estates of the Netherlands were opened on Monday by the King of Holland. His Majesty stated that, tho foreign relations of tho country were most satisfactory, that the crops were abundant, and the fisheries prosperous. Bills were promised for the improvement of public education, and of the commer cial and penal codes. The railway and other public works are to be pushed on vigorously, and to ensure their termina tion, it will be necessary to have recourse to extraordinary credits. A law relative to the patent duty is to be brought forward, and some important measures are promised with respect to the Dutch colonial possessions. THE DRESDEN THEATRE. The Dresden Theatre, which has just been destroyed by fire, was one of the most admirable buildings of its kind, and especially adapted to theatrical purposes. It was one of the greatest ornaments of Dresden, and its loss has occasioned general regret. Dresden was threatened with a still more serious calamity, for the flames nearly reached the Museum, which contains such a valuable collection of paintings. All lovers of art will rejoice at the preservation of the masterpieces of Raphael and Corrcggio; hut the Saxon Government should provide better means for their protection. AMERICAN FINAXCES. The 2Vew Thrk Tritune states that the forthcoming re port of the Treasurer of the United States will show that the expenditure of the Government for the late fiscal year was 485,000,000 dots. less than the year before. The Tri bune reminds its readers that, notwithstanding this economy in the national expenditure, the principal of the debt has been steadily reduced. The day when repudiation or national bankruptcy was possible is, it avers, well nigh FUNERAL OF GENERAL RA.WLINS. past. The funeral of General Rawlins was performed in the most impressive manner. Tho President and many official persons were present on the occasion. Mrs. Rawlins was accompanied by her father and some of her children. An effective sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr Wilson, who ho said that from the President to the drummer boy in the army, all men rose up to honour the departed General. Tho requiem sung over the grave was ono that General Rawlins greatly admired, and General Sherman desired that it should bo performed on the occasion, iu compliance with a wish expressed by his departed friend. GREAT STORM IN BOSTON. A storm of unusual violence swept over Boston and the greater part of the New England States on September 8. In Boston it was terribly destructive, and property to the amount of a million dollars was destroyed. The Coliseum was unroofed and the sides partially blown down. Church spires were blown down in many places, and cars were Clown off the track. The telegraph wires were prostrated in every direction, and property of all kinds much injured. The damage done to the shipping was very great, but, for tunately, there was only ono fatal accident recorded. CCI3A. Letters received at Washington from Cuba give full accounts of the battle of Las Tunas, the most important which has as yct taken place. The fight lasted for five hours. The insurgents were 0,000 strong, and the Spanish forces consisted of 4,000 effective troops. The Cuban loss, as reported, is, killed, 72 ; missing, 47; wounded, 257. The Spanish lost in killed and wounded over GOO. Two hun dred of their dead and,woundal were left on the field, 270 prisoners were captured, and nearly 400 deserted. Val maseda was obliged to give way and fall back on his forti fications. The Cuban army is in a state of great rejoicing. The mails and telegraphs at Havanahave been closely watched since the engagement. HAYTI. The West India steamer just arrived brings news from Port-au-Prince to September I. The French man-of-war D'Estrees had arrived there from Gonaives three days' earlier, bringing part of General Chevallier's army. That general had been defending the town against the Caicos, but was forced to capitulate, being allowed to march out with his arms, ammuni tion, &c. The British war steamer, Britomart, had formerly removed four hundred women and children to Port-au-Prince. President Salnave,who had been besieging the revolutionary city of Aux Cayes during the last three months, is said to have been startled by the news from Gonaives, to have abandoned the blockade immediately,and to have started with his two war steamers, the Galatea and the Salnave, for Port-au-Prince. Both these vessels are how ever, almost disabled and quite unfit to cope with the revolu tionary war steamers. The population of Port-au-Prince was apprehensive of a bombardment, and the only hope of Salnave was in the arrival of an ironclad steamer from the United States.

An act of indignity offered to a wearer of her Majesty's uniform is not uninstructive just at this time when much is being written on the subject of obtain ing a better class of men in the ranks of the British army. A. colour-sergeant and his wife desiring to enter the "London C rys t a l P a l ace Bazaar' in Oxford-street, were stopped on the threshold by the beadle who intimated to the former that he must seek to go no further (though his companion might do so) " because ho was a soldier." The ser geant, who has served the Queen twelve years, and is highly esteemed by his officers and comrades, felt the humiliation deeply, and a member of the regiment to which he belongs urges, in the Times, that th e course adopted in certain public places of refusing admission to soldiers in uniform is likely to prevent respectable young mon from entering the service, and is calcu lated to doter those who have already joined it from persuading others to do so. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. A correspondent of the Ti mes suggests a remedy which, he says, h e a d opted when, two years since, his herd was a tt ac k e d w i t h the foot and mouth disease. Chlorid e o f li me m i xed w i th water to the consistency of cream must be applied to the . swollen and ul cera t e d f eet and j oints tw i co daily till the disease is cured, the animal being tied up during the application, and the lime allowed to dry before it is set at liberty ; at the same time the cattle-man must be provided with a strong paste of borax and honey, with which he must anoint his hand, and, introducing it into the animal's mouth, smear effectually the tongue and throat as far as he can reach ; this op er ati on to be performed morning and night, and, f or conven ience, at the same time that the feet and legs are dressed with the chloride of lime ; these to be dressed first, and immediately after wards the tongue and throat with the honey and borax compound, the salivation which ensues so entirely occupying the animal's attention that he ha s not time to lick his feet and interfere with the drying of the lime. A dose of Epsom salts and 1 oz. o f ground ginger, dissolved in boiling water, and given cold once in the course of a week, will be advanta geous in obstinate cases. The constitutional treat ment is—plenty to eat, free access to water,*and a wide range. Cows that are confined in dai r i es hould have good food given in as sl o ppy a formas possible. The writer, in his own case, found the remedy thoroughly efficacious. . LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL ifAIR.---MRS. S. A.
