For the reason referred to, many personsons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, 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 premium paid, by wing: the same propor ti.n to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually pail 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will -ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assuranct , . The assure 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 • the duration of the Policy, such amounts being i s th e ic t i f if o clel h iti o reres, n aa: e :s v :o e ue r nr y Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with . ordinary assurances. o i ei ri ng g nrlee t an h t tellylivesitself oslt protective to ot f i bv d ea e no b kf t e o t ririsse, their capitalists, ittesrlei ss appreciatettss: andnn dt 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 Poli cy o f this de , scription. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, re limitations. By this freedo f n o i lg from. nresidence, the objections before referred t o w ill b e entirely or o o f t her all kinds and the Policies will become at once restrictions positively valuable removed,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 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 £215,000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868--Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared i❑ respect of it amounting to the sum of V 08,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUYE, 1868.

The interest received during the y . ear is £117,584 7s. as., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 Is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are loss than those of lest year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in o the the eam ri ou sk n s t paid for re-assurance, an ref-assuredhsaving terminated by death and other causes. Th e expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two offieeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} A u ditors. HENRY ROSE, The present disposition of the Company's hinds is 1867, shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has Exbclon a dvanced on security of the com pany's policies. bean advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclñsive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to .C 3,059,030 3s. 3d. Th e direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.B. Chair man. WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE Esq., Deputy- Chairman. Charles Bischoff, Esq. Thomas Boddington, Esq. Charles Chatfield, Esq. Sir J. Buller East, Bart., D.C.L. Robert A. Gray , Esq. Wm. Augustus Guy, M.D., F.E.S. • Chas. Thos. Holcombe, Esq. Joshua Lockwood, Esq. James Murray, Esq. Philip Rose, L'sq. George Russell, Esq. Thos. Godfrey Sambrooke, Esq. Admiral Tindal.; The intelligence from New Zealand is in all respects satisfactory, if not quite conclusive. The rebels who have been defeated with such heavy loss, including their leader, are those who perpetrated the Poverty Bay massacre. Speedy retribution has thus overtaken the authors of that detestable deed. Colonel Whitmore, who for three months suffered an uninterrupted series of defeats, is the leader of the colonial troops who have gained the victory. The advantage, which will go far to retrieve his reputa tion, is complete, for though the Maories lost 130 killed, the colonists had only 22 killed and wounded. It must not, however, be forgotten that this triumph has been achieved on the East coast, whereas the revolt is most formidable on the opposite side of the island. But it is difficult to imagine that a partial insurrection can last much longer. NEW ZEALAND COLD. A letter from New Zealand speaks of the extraordinary development of the colony through the gold discovery. A town nearly as large as Auckland has sprung up in the Thames goldfield within fifteen months, and the European population has increased from about 20 to 20,000, One ton of ore has produced thirty ounces of gold. TIE HUDSON'S DAY TERRITORY. The important colonial question - which has arisen as to the disposal of the Hudson's Bay Territory is discussed in a prominent letter in the Times. The writer is of opinion that the time has come for the incorporation of the Territory within the Canadian dominion ; hut he holds that the company ought to have just compensation for their rights. Their demands ought to be moderate, but their title to some indemnity is unquestion able. Moreover, it will be impossible, or all but impossible, to properly administer the Territory in antagonism to the company. The present system has nearly broken down, the territory needs regular govern ment for the developement of its resources, and, above all, the consolidation of all British North America is necessary for its security and prosperity. But it is of the highest importance that the new directors and the company should work harmoniously together. To this it may be answered that it is more than doubtful bow far the charter of the company could give them a right to permanently appropriate this immense country for their own benefit. And the argument against large compensation—an argu ment which the writer in the Times does not deal with— is that a burden upon a new colony greatly impairs, if not altogether destroys its utility. The Canadians would not pay the cost of the indemnity, and it would therefore have to be levied on the new corners in the shape of payments for land. All the advantages to to be gained by the incor poration would be lost by a large compensation. It is true that if the company has a right to a substantial sum it ought to be paid ; but in what does such right consist? THE srANlsu CROWN. A somewhat significant incident took place at a recent sitting of the Cortes. Senor Figueras, one of the Repub. lican leaders, inquired if all the Ministers were of one mind as to the person to whom the crown was to be offered. The Foreign Minister, without speaking, made an affirmative sign. Encouraged by this mute response, the Republican asked Marshal Prim if he considered as impossible the accession of a Bourbon descendant of the brother of Louis XIV. This time he received no answer. Senor Figueras alluded to the Duke of Montpensier, and the incident is considered wholly in his favour. The Independance Beige says that all the Ministers are now rallied round the Orleanist Prince. Dom Fernando is out of the question, simply because he will not have the crown if it be offered him. Of course, if this be correct, judgment will be given for Montpensier by default. The Spaniards will have a king, and they have but one candidate. Meanwhile, the Government which is to direct the affairs of the nation until a king is chosen and assumes his functions, is really a Republican Government. It establishes precisely the temporary rlgime which was adopted in France after the Revolution of 1848, and which lasted until the election of Louis Napoleon. Marshal Serrano becomes bead of the executive power on the same conditions as General Cavaignac. The Ministry is en tirely dependent upon the will of the ICational Assembly, and may be changed by the vote of the majority. The Ministers expressly declare that the will of the people shall be absolute. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. The . GrandVign&lrak, the highest peak of the French Pyrenees, has been successfully ascended in the depth of winter by Count Henry Russell and two guides. The party bad taken great precautions against cold, but the heat up the mountain was overpowering, and at 0,000 feet, about 2,000 from the summit, it became almost unbearable. Higher up the temperature decreased, but even ou the summit. the thermometer marked tisd,g. in the sun. Count Russell has sehh climbed mountains in winter without finding th(!h at greater than in the and though he cannot expain the paradox, there is no doubt of the f ct. TtIE BOTAL Torn TX TGITT:"Nr- According to the Litgrtj, the thousand and one nights have been realised in the splendours accumulated at Cairo for the reception of the Prince and the Princess of Wales. Their apartments were arrayed in the richest silks of the East, and garnished with furniture of massive silver. The Prince and the Princess have gone towards the second cata ract of the N ile, which is situated in Nubia, and is nearly 800 miles beyond Cairo. But it is hardly probable that they will reach that point, for. the waters of the Nile, always low at this season, have left the bed of the river almost dry in certain places. " The Princess, of adventurous disposition, has given orders for small vessels to be pre• pared, in order to penetrate as far as tossible. She desires to see the whole of the ever-verdant and fertile valley, that immense oasis spread like a smile of nature between two deserts," EASTERN EUROPE. More pacific intelligence comes from the States which border upon the Ottoman Empire. Every day the official journal of Roumania contains appointments to public offices of men who are known to rank amongst the advo• cates of peace. The members of the late Cabinet are in disgrace, and the new Ministry, cautious at first, become more and more confident of holding their. position. In Crete the inhabitants are engaged in repairing the devas• tations caused by the revolt, and at all the principal towns nothing is thought of but the speedy resumption of business. It is stated that no fewer than 30,000 Cretans still wait to be taken back to their native land. TIIE COUNTESS BE AUC sAmr. The Countess Beauchamp, daughter of the Earl of Stanhope, who 'Was married last year, has given birth to a daughter. Earl Beauchamp is better known to the world as the Hon. Frederic Lygon, under which name he served as a Lord of the Admiralty, when Lord Derby was in power. He is now known best as a prominent High Churchman. He was formerly a frequent contributor to Archdeacon Denison's Church and State Gazette, now defunct. TIIE TICHBORNE BARONETCY. The Star states that so far from the claimant to the Tichborne baronetcy having been massacred by Indians, or having gone in quest of a gold mine in the interior of South America, he has returned to England. His friends report that the result of the commission is " satisfactory." They add that the action will be tried on the earliest possible day, and that the plaintiff and his friends are anxious to bring it to an issue. Hitherto, it must be confessed, he has shewn a great " backwardness in coming forward." CLERICAL DISABILITIES. Professor Rogers writes to the Star on the violent language used by the clergy in Convocation, and considers that they make sober-minded people think establishments are inconsistenb with Christianity. He believes that the legal disabilities of the English clergy are more serious than those which affect Roman Catholic priests. Many of these disabilities are of modern date, and their conse quences are most un f or t un ate. They make the whole order enemies toprogress and re form, and every just innovation is a loss to them. Mr. Forster's bill, which takes from clergymen the exclusive right to masterships in schools, presses hardly on them, and it is one-sided so long as the professional disabilities are continued. In Church reforms no compensation is offered, and, in consequence, nearly all the clergy resist every reform with the natural instinct of self preservation. The remedy that is suggested is to have an Act of Parliament relieving every person from every disability consequent on his calling or profession. Were such an Act passed, discipline mi.-It revive, and a host of scandals be avoided, INDECENT VALENTINES. There is hope that we shall not next Feb ruary b e plagued with indecent valentines.

It is now stated that the rectory of St. Mary, Stoke Newington, has lapsed to the Lord Chancellor, be cause the value appears in the King's Books as less than £2O a year. The real value is not less than £4,000. No appointment has been made, but there will shortly be an application to Parliament, with the sanction of Lord liatherley and the Bishop i 4 London, for the apportionment of this vast revenue to meet the spiritual wants of the parish.
