S!.n, .- 7 As one of the members of the London committee of policy-holders, chosen by the unanimous voice of the public meeting held at the London Tavern, I think it my duty, in the interests of the policy%olders of the Albert Life Assurance, to warn them that the so-called London Committee is not a proper representation of their interests; ; and to invite thorn, if they desire to save their property from utter annihilation, to take some steps to ensure for themselves a proper representation in the future manage ment of the affairs of the Albert Company. The London Committee was not chosen to prcmote the election of Mr. A. or Mr. B. to be official liquidators of the defunct company, but to take such measures, eithdc for the reconstruction of the company, or for such affiliagon with existing companies, as would give to the policy-holders if not the whole, at least the greater portion, of the sums for which they arc insured, This can be done if the policy-holders will constitute a proper representative committee, and will invite the co-operation of the provincial policy-holders, but the London committee, as at present constituted (at least the majority of them), occupy the valuable moments of an important crisis in the details of an election for official liquidators.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

Because the London Committee have neither suggested or supported any plea which should save tho large proportion of policy-holders from entire loss. The provisional liquidator, Mr. Price, has offered his services, and has sought assistance from the London Com mittee, but the majority of the committee withhold their eo-operation from him. Members of the committee have protested against the present course of the London Com mittee, and, in the interest of the whole body of policy holders, I ask them to demand the formation of a sommittee which will endeavour to save seme of the property from the 'wreck, and who, not representing the interests of individuals, will seek only the general benefit of their unfortunate fellow sufferers. I am not , * novice in these matters, having, on - the failure of the Royal British Bank, acted (solely on public grounds) •s chairman of the committee under whose direction the affairs of that unfortunate concern were wound up, and I strongly advise my fellow policy-holders in the Albeit Company not to allow themselves to be made the mere tools for forwarding the professional interests of any indi vidual or individuals, but to withhold their confidence from any committee that does not grapple quickly and energetically with the real difficulties of the case, and at tempt to save all that can be saved.—Your obedient servant, .1 A MRS WYLD. Charing-cross, September 22, 1869. THE _AGRARIAN MURDER, IS MEI TIT. At the inquest on the body of the farmer Reilly, mur dered in Kildalkey, in Meath, it has transpired that he was a policeman who became, shortly bcforo he retirei on pension from the force, owner in fee of forty acres cf land. On a small angle of this property ho resided. When taking up his residence upon it he found five tenants in occupation. Ike evicted none cf these, but took a small picce from each to make up his own holding, forgiving them a year and a half's rent. The portion de manded seemed to be willingly surrendered ; nevertheless, he was a " marked man." Ile had been to Trim to sell oats, and on returning, when near his own door, he was attacked by two men, and his skull broken in with a acne hammer. Three men are under arrest on cuspic:on. The Church News has good authority for stating that the Bishnp of Edinburgh will shortly resign, The accouchement of the Princess of Wales is expected to take place the latter end of November or begin sing of December. The Roman Catholics of Manchester have had a meeting on the subject of national education, and have declared in favour of the denominational system. The Bradford people are about to lay the foun. dation stone of a mechanics' institute to ccst £40,000, and to build a town hall that will cost nearly a hundred thou sand pounds. - The Sheffield Town Coyne!' has determined to tnkc the gas works under municipal management and control.

Dur ing his stay there (rays the Yorkshire Post) the Prince win be the guest of Mr. John Woodall, at the Royal Hotel. I An extraordinary statement ajpears in the Birmingham Gazette. It is to the effect that on the recom mendation of Mr. Gladstone, the honour of knighthood is to be conferred on the Rev. Dr. Miller, Vicar of Green wich, in recognition of his eminent political services to the Liberal party. At the Bridgewater Election Commission yesterday J. W. Lully, shipowner, explained that he had made a mis take in the evidence he gave—viz., that Coles was excom municated from the Baptist church for perjury. Mr. Anstey said he believed this witness was stating purposely what was false. At Beverley, a letter from Cronlielm has been read explaining £7OO of the £2,000 spent by Captain Edwards in 1857. Wreghitt was again examined about the candidates' money spent by him at municipal elections. A telegram from the Times' correspondent at Philadelphia, dated September 22nd, reports a rumour that Ganeral Sickles had been instructed to demand a reply from Spain to the note about Cuba. Great excita ment prevailed in the stock market, and geld premium sd ♦anced 4 per cent., to 111. A boy of 17, named William Turner, is in custody at Pickering, on the charge of murdering Abraham Allinscn, aged 20, at the Rosedale East Iron Mines. The prisoner vi as working under the deceased, and having been threatened by him for disobeying an order, turned upon him and smashed his skull in with a heavy bludgeon. TLis occurred pn the 9th inst., and the injured youth died on the 17th. Turner was committed for trial on Wednesdsy. The death is announced of Sir Thomas John Petherstone. The deceased, who was the fifth baronet, Was born in 1824; and was educated at Winchester School, whence he proceeded to Trinity College, Dublin, where he took his D.A. degree in 1845. Ile was married in 1848 to Sarah, daughter of Mr. Henry Alcock, of Wilton Castle, Wexford ; and his son, George Ralph Fetherstone, born in 1852, succeeds him in the baronetcy, which was con ferred by George 11. in 1776. The Birmingham Gazette of yesterday contains the following paragraph : -" We are requested to contradict a rumour current in the neighbourhood of Dudley to the effect that Mr. Sheridan had very handsomely offered to recoup the unfortunate local policy-holders in the Albert Life Office for the full amount of any losses they might even tually sustain by the collapse of that ccnireny. Tl.e reason probably is that the honourable gentleman wishes to avoid taking any step which can have even the semblance of Lrib: ing the constituency." - Another munificent donation has been made by Mr. Bolckow, M.P., to the town of Middlesbro', which the hon. gentleman represents. Mr. Bolckow, who a year ago , gave a public park to Middleebro', has now presented a valu able block of buildings, erected at a cost of £6,000, upon land liberally given by Messrs. Hopkins, Gilkes, and Wilson. The . buildings are to be appropriated for use as national scho ol?, and will accommodate 000 scholars. They were opened , on Wednesday by the Duke of Devonshire , the ceremony being witnessed by most of the gentlemen who are visiting the town as members of the Iron and Ste el Institute. A curious case of forgery has just come under the no ti ce o f th e Sheffield police. A woman of lady-like ap pearance, named Ann Slingsby, the daughter of respectable people living near D._ ncaster, having obtained shelter in the house of Mrs. Butler, of St. Philie's-rJad, Sheffield, on tl plea of being in distress, took the opportunity during Ike night of stealing her benefactress's keys, with which she unlocked a box and stole therefrom a bank-book. She after wards went to the Savings-bank and represented that she was the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Butler, who wasill, and wished to withdraw £5. Sho was told that it was necessary to obtain four signatures of respectable people, who would vouch for the accuracy of her statement. After a short ab sences she again protested the book with the signatures duly entered, and obtained the money, The signatures turned out to bo forgeries, and nothics was heald of her, for some niQraft 8 1 14_19 4 lintb4e4Sled in 6141011 s and Making a total income of X 237,980 19 8 The claims were 335, amounting to the sum of £127,886 12s. ld. The balance of the year's income was £68,026 os. 4d. Tho assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. _ _ The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the B r it ann i a Fi re Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions, It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, Bing-street, St. James's. 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 Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i 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 tionp 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 piomium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre aptuallv nail may hear 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 1 - ;;;e 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 tho duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any futuro reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors as-wring 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 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 maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies .tre 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 £215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now busineffs of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WARTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.
