SUMNER AND THE ALABAMA TREATY. (Front the New York Nation.) Branch Office-7, King-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 o" 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 copmend 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. _ _ SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS. (I .

Tho directors draw special attention to the fact thet 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 81st 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 Britannia Fire 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.

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH', fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that aro loose, and is gua r•anteed to restorc articulation and mastication.

The system adopted rigidly excludes the use of the manual alphabet and all artificial signs. A public lesson is given every Wednesday, at 3 p.m., when the successful results of the system can be wit nessed. _ Applications for terms, the course of instruction, and al other particulars, tots) made to W. VAN PRAAGIT, Esq., Director of the Jews' Deaf and Dumb Home, 44, Burton-crescent, W.C. TOAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN. 1-1 The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded 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 more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme. Contribiitions will be thankfully received by the Trea surer,F.S.Worris, Esq., Sbadwell; or by SHERRARD R. BURNABY, Hon! Sec., Rectory Warping E' The assured will thus always have the option of retain ng 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 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 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, (real ' 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 whore policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also ho unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo 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 businees of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. G UARDIAN FIRE AND LIFE OFFICE.

We shall present them to our readers at the earliest possible moment. The two journals which have undertaken to contradict what we have said confess they know absolutely nothing about the matter, and have nothing better to contribute to the controversy than the announcement that they do not believe our story—a fact which, for our present purpose, is of no importance whatever. As the case stands, we allege that there are two letters iu Mr. Bright's possession from the Chairman of the Senate Committee of Foreign Affairs, which Mr. Bright has shown to Americans, with strong expressions of indignation, as proofs that Mr. Sumner, in delivering his speech on the treaty, was guilty of bad faith. Mr. Sumner ought not to allow this to go on. If the letters are not his, or if Mr. Bright is putting a false construction on them, he ought to set himself right before the pub lic. If we are not misinformed, his attention has already been called to Mr. Bright's feeling and language about the matter. If, on the other hand, these letters are genuine, and justify Mr. Bright's language, which, we repeat, is very strong, Ame rican tax-payers ought to know in what spirit politicians in high places have been dealing with one of the most momentous questions ever brought before the country. As regards the letter of recommendation (not of " introduction"—perish the thought!) of which the Springfield Republi :CCM so ingenionely--4ried to - conceal the exist ence, we happen now to have before us Mr.. Bright's account of it in his note to Mr. Reverdy Johnson. He says he has a letter " from his [my] friend, Mr. Charles Sumner, speaking in very high terms of [you] Mr. Johnson, and of the general satisfaction with which this [your] appointment was regarded by men of all parties in the States." There is nothing remarkable about this, but there is something very retnarkable in Mr. Sumner's afterwards expressing to the correspondent of the New York Herald his surprise that the British Government should not have known better than to negotiate with the Ambassador of a retiring Ad ministration, and adding that he " thought of say ing this to Mr. Thornton, but concluded it would not be right for him to do so." The Springfield Republican tries to dispose of this difficulty by sug gesting that Mr. Sumner "doubted the wisdom of the British Cabinet," but had "too much delicacy to say so to Nlr.Tliornton." Now, why should the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs doubt the wisdom of a Foreign Government which negotiates with an American Atnbassa for, possessing regular credentials, and unanimously nominated by the Senate, and warmly commended by him (not " in troduced") to a member of that Government as a man of high qualifications for his post, whose ap pointment had been viewed with favour " by men of all parties ?" And what about Mr. Sumner's " delicacy" in saying to a Herald reporter for pub lication all that it would have been " indelicate" to say to Mr. Thornton, and a great deal more ? We have thus far only parole evidence of the contents of the letters, but it is the evidence of a person who has read them, and who has listened to Mr. Bright's remarks on them, and felt some mortification on tha occasion ; but we have always felt the letters them selves were also needed, and have lost no time in applying for them. It is very pertinent to the matter in hand that, according to Mr. Reverdy Johnson, Mr. Sumner " advised with him several times in relation to the negotiations after Mr. Johnson's appointment, and exhibited an appa rently sincere desire that he [Mr. Johnson] should bring the negotiations to an early and successful termination. In none of these interviews did he mention the peculiar views set forth iu his subse quent speech. It is hardly to be supposed that as Chairman of the Senate Committee of Foreilzti Affairs, and in constant intercourse with Mr. Seward, he did not know what Mr. Johnson's instructions were. He certainly knew what Mr. Adams's were, and these were precisely the same as Mr. Johnson's. According to the speech, how ever, both Mr. Adams's and Mr. Johnson's instruc tions were simply folly, not far removed from crime. We need hardly say that we shall take good care to point out any inaccuracies into which we may have fallen in describing the correspondence, when we succeed in secaring it for publication. In the mean time let us modestly suggest to those friends of Mr. Sumner who doubt its existence, that a much more effectual way of bringing his detractors to justice than rolling one's eyes over the Nation's blasphemies, will be to get Mr. Sumner or Mr. Bright to deny the exis tence of the letters. There is the mail and telegraph both at their service. Mr. Bright, owing to the achievements of modern science, is within easy reach ; and, should he feel reluctant to place the correspondence at our disposal, he cannot in de cency refuse to publish it at Mr. Sumner's request. The accuracy of the Nation's version of it is, after all, a matter of comparatively small consequence, and we shall take care not to allow the matter to go off on that issue. We must also remark that the badness of Mr. Reverdy Johnson's speeches has nothing to do with the question. It may have been well to reject the treaty because it was negotiated by an unpopular agent, or because it was defective ; but the real question before us is, did Mr. Sumner's speech against it contain the deliberate views of a statesman on important points of international law and public policy, or were they simply an afterthought, suggested by the popular exasperation and excitement produced by Mr. John son's course in England ? Everybody whom the settlement of the Alabama matter may affect in mind, body, or estate, has a right to have this question answered. The next general meeting of the Social Science Association will be held in New York on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of October.

THE FOREIGN MAILS —The balances due to foreign countries for mail service must ;,.re paid in gold, which requires an expenditure by the Post-office Depart ment of $50,000 per annum for the premium. The Post master-General, however, has recently requested the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer to the Post-office Department sufficient gold to pay these balances due to foreign countries, but the Comptroller of the Treasury has just decided that such a course would be contrary to law, and the request was refused. An Act of Congress should be passed to authorise the transfer, and the $50,000 re quired to pay the premium would bo saved. —Philadelphia Ledger. NAVAL ITEMS.—The United States steam frigate Severn has undergone her trial trip, which proved very satisfactory.—Secretary R o b e son has issued a general order modifying the naval regulations so far that when a foreign vessel of war belonging to a country in amity with the United States shall arrive in a port of the United States where there is a vessel of the navy, the commanding officer shall without delay send a proper officer on board to offer the usual civilities and assistance in his power. If a foreign vessel bears a flag of au Admiral or Commodore commanding a squadron, and salutes the flag oftho United States, salutes will be promptly returned, and the com manding officer of the vessel will call upon the Admiral or Commodore, and salute them in case they return his call. The same rule will be observed when Commanders of foreign squadrons visit a navy yard or station. In all cases when the flag of a nation to be saluted is afloat it will be hoisted at the tore-royal masthead, and the jib hoisted at the first and hauled down at the last gun.—Capt. John C. Feibigen has been ordered to special duty in the Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks, and Commander Robert M. Shufeldt to the command of the Miantonomah. On the 21st ultimo the annual cricket match between the English hotel keepers of New York and Brooklyn took place at Hoboken, and proved to be an interesting contest. Of course both parties were short handed, and had to c4ll upon some cricketers and ball players for substitutes, and as Brooklyn was best favoured in this respect they won the game, Sadler being of great assistance to them. The score stood—Brooklyn, 80; New York, 25.
