A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- El- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i is; 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 ospe chilly commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatevei; 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 piemium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid nifty 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any timo to withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fix , !d sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ne coriling t the duration of the Policy, snob 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 tbis 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-firo years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this ells.; 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 Aro 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 ho unchallengeable nu 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 tho largest amount of new business of any office in the. Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

PresidentL-His Graco the Duke of Bucamicir, This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the Brat to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent ... .sr support on voluntary contributions and legacies.

The Nation wri. es more than a page to show that it does not care a rap, nor does any one else outside the organization, whether the Republican Commit tees of New York City unite or not. Weed or Fenton, it is all the same. An unblushing scramble for office covered by loud professions of patriotism and hypocrisy. It belongs to the same class of questions as these— " Shall all of the Honourable John Morrissey's places of entertainment be United in one? Shall all the pretty waiter-girls keep one hotel ? Shall Mr. M'Coole and Mr. O'Baldwin, the Irish Giant;i,go into partnership ? Shall Raddy, the blacksmith, unite his fortunes with the gentle men in court who were so excessively astonished at his disappearance? Shall the burglars consolidate with the pickpockets ? Those are questions that will doubtless agitate the country when it takes thorn into consideration ; and equally momentous to the interests of the Republican party and the human race is the question, Shall the two New York General Committees unite ?" The s me paper discusses the case of Colonel Verger and the constitutional question of his trial and punishment by martial law. Notwithstanding that the trial does not disclose a single mitigating feature that the murder was brutal in manner, deliberate, lid unprovoked, yet the Nation considers Yerger's escape from justice to be but a small matter when compared with the constitutional question involved, and it thus sums up its argument— "We well might ask, then, what possible foundation is left on which to base the clause in the Reconstruction statutes which permit military trials of civiliaae ? The ground seems to be entirely cut away from under it. Mr. Attorney-General Hoar evidently feels this difficulty, and has been driven to rest his claim, not upon any legal argu ment, but upon au assumed fact. In a late opinion _ . in reference to a similar case in Texas, and in his recent argument before the Chief-Justice, he is forced to maintain— and he gravely dons it—that war still exists in the three unreconstructed States. He argues that, as n the year 1865 there was a war within those districts Congress may treat that war as still continuing; in, short, that it does continue until the Legislature declares it ended. It is a snfficient answer to this position that the Supreme Court does not sanction military trials of civilians in any portion of our domain, merely because 4hore is a legal condition of war within the country, but only suffers them in those districts occupied by armies, and which are the scenes of martial movements and ac tual struggles. But apart from this consideration, the assumption of the Attorney-General is most plainly opposed to allibe facts of our recent histor3. If there is now a war in Mississippi, there is ono also in Virginia. Who are the enemies? where are the hostile armies? under what authority do they act ? what military move ments are in progress ? The local courts are open in these districts; United States Judges hold their circuits within them ; elections have been held ; conventions have sat ; constitutions have been proposed; society as such is quiet ; the only disturbances and breaches of the peace are individual and sporadic. if this be war, we do nut understand the meaning of terms. But it is useless to argue. We might as well attempt to demonstrate an axiom. It may well be that there is some among the Southern people. lima) , well be that convictions are hard to o'itain front Southern judos. These are grave evils, but they always must fur a while follow the suppression of a great rebellion. It is better to endure them, and to await with patience el) soothing effects of time; it is better that a few watches like Yerger should escap e their merited punishment than that a weapon should be put into the hands of some future Government which may be effective in destroying the liberties of the nation." The Philadelphia Public Ledger says : " The latest railroad sensation is a plan by the manage ment of the Erie Railway to il:tuninate the whole of that road at night by electric light at the ferries, in the tun nels, on all the dangerous curves, au,l ou every engine. Mr. E. C. Morse, ‘vito has charge of the matter, claims to have made several important improvements, a•uong others, a plan fur p:oserving the carbon points from wasting away, awl keeping them for months in goad condition, a self sustaining battery, and au invention by which the turn ing of the wheels of the engine shall c 'Beet electricity for use in illumination. The Bergen tunnel is to be kept illu minated by night and day, so that the rays of the sun will seem to be dull and forceless in comperis)n. There will be a light at each end of the ferry, which it is believed will make a collision practically impossible on the darkest and foggiest night. Even with the diminution of light caused by the jarring of the locomotive it is estimated that the hoed lights will show the track to the engineer ou a straight line for three miles." On the subject of the recent attack on the usurers, the Nation of the sth August denounces with great force the unjustifiable exercise of an ob• solete and ridiculous law against the Wall-street brokers. The usury laws have no foundation in justice or morality ; it is no more sinful for the citi zens to borrow or lend at 8 or 9 per cent. or 10 or 12 than for the Government so to borrow ; nor is it more sinful in the citizens of one State to lend at a higher rate than for those of another State, further than the forgotten laws of one may permit a higher rate than those of another. But all agree that these laws are obsolete and dead, corporations, cities, counties, even the Federal Government itself daily infringing them. That laws do die while remaining on the Statute Book the Nation illustrates by show ing that it is prohibited to frame carriage wheels of more than a certain width by the laws of many States, the infringement being punishable by fine, and even imprisonment. Continuous changes go on, rendering unnecessary what had been expedient; but the universal principles of right and wrong re main whether on the Statute Book or not. The Nation censures the jury for framing bills of indict ment against the reputable bankers for such a cause, and proceeds to show that it was a mere movement of the speculators. A " bear" combination had al most cornered the " bulls" who were on the eve of being forced to sell, when they escaped through the bare-faced infringement of these usury laws. The public backed the demand for their enforcement, and, the speculators becoming frightened, they re laxed their grip upon the money market, and the holders of all descriptions of securities were saved from a forced sale. The proceeding, then, was trickery and sham, with which all connected are now ashamed of. But the law exists ; and the question is, why it has not been repealed, and when it will be repealed. [We believe Judge Cardozo sentenced the brokers, who all pleaded guilty, to a month's imprisonment.] The Neu , York Times inaugurated its new edition with an article " On the Uses and Abuses of Jour nalism," at least it is believed that Mr. Bigelow thus commenced his editorial labours. The Tribune follows it up with an article on " Journalistic Amenities," and to listen to the Tribune no ono would suppose that so immaculate a sheet could possibly transgress ; and had it not been that cer tain leading editors had lately been calling each other anything but gentlemen, we would never have suspected that the 7 ribune had ever acted any other part than that of a grave and dignified censor. the affairs of the Memphis and El Paso Rail way, as brought out in Paris under the auspices of General Fremont, continue to be discussed in the New York papers. The Times asserted that— " Mariposa in all its glory never exzklled the picture spread before the eyes of Parisian capitalists. There were to be '2lO millions of francs, in shares of 125 francs,' first mortgage bonds based upon a munificent land-grant; and, above all, the construction bonds were to enjoy from the Federal Government a guarantee of six per cent, interest. Tho last promise was unfortunate It was specific, and admitted of a test. Mr. Washburne was applied to for information, and ho referred to the State Department; and the State Department remorse lessly replied that the United States have granted no subsidy or aid in any shape to the imaginary Trans-con tinental Railway. Polite Parisian' critics thereupon pro nounced the prcject a fraud and the prospectus a tissue of falsehoods." The Tribune denies that General Fremont had sought a subsidy or that Congress had refused one. A right of way had been promptly, heartily, and by an overwhelming majority granted by the House, and it was only choked in the Senate through the action of the Chairman of the Pacific Railroad Committee, who, getting it referred to his commit tee, in spite of entreaty and remonstrance, denied to the Senate an opportunity to pass the bill— "Moat certainly, if any ono has represented that the Government has guaranteed the bonds of this company, he has said what was not true ; but we trust the Times needs no assurance that General Fremont never made or authorized any such representation. If it was over made it was before his arrival at Paris, and was probably the result of misapprehension." The report that Jay Cooke and - Co. had advanced money on the whisky destroyed by 016 Piro in Philadel - is positively denied by that firm.
