Nothing can withstand the desire of the country for reform. The representatives of the Government have still a large majority in the Corps Ldgislatif„ but this avails nothing. The great fact of the almost unanimous pronunciantiento by the towns of the Empire against the present system carries all before it, and casts wholly in the shade the nameless and colourless crowd of rural voters, who ewe and knowabout the opinions of candidates "as much as their sheep do." Personal government and M. Rouher must go together, The Emperor admits his moral defeat at the last election ; and the discourse read at the opening of the present session must be regarded as the cutting of the cable, and the real starting for a new destination. The only question left is to decide how per sonal government can be given up without endangering the safety and dignity of the Crown. That Imperialist sup porter, the correspondent of the Telegraph, writes in the same strain. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, J 1 LY. 6, 1869 PRICE...,. STAMPED ...ld ..bd. pARTRIDGE AND COOPER.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi dently recommended as a simple but certain Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we aro subject, being a medicine so uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with jastice railed the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.' " Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir zumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi mony to the benefitS to be derived from their use, as they have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of 20 years. _ _ Tho balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d. The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact the t 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 tho past year of the Britannia Firo 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. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., 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 f rom var ious extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 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 less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having t erm i na t e d by death and other causes. The 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 officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5-} per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Dn.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L -1 - FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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 tho present Tables, and to issue Assu r an ces un d er th em which shall b e absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the 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 cialls 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 iu 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. The assured 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 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 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-five, 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 he 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- SOSSOS an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un quostionablo, and it obtains the largest amount of new bn,inPss of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL, AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

This hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

IDAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY , JIL by Mr. B. L. AIOSELY, the Dentist by sp ec i a l appoint ment, 312, REGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as ono of the greatest improve ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and xouthful appearance restored mastication and articular ion guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : —"So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 5'.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. THE BELCIAN RAILWAY QUESTION. The Temps, confirming the news that the difficulty between Fiance and Belgium Las been finally surmounted, says there is no doubt that the intervention of England and Austria has brought about this pacific result. Every. thing looks as if the business had been settled in a hurry, as if the parties were resolved to have a settlement at any price. COUNT BISMARCK. The Puir'e asserts that Count Bismarck has obtained his several mouths' holiday not because his health remains in an unsatisfactory condition, but because of his disputes with the military party. It will be remembered that a convention has been signed between Prussia and Baden,: for the purpose of enabling the Baden recruits to complete their term of service in the Prussian army, and vice versed. The leaders of the military party desire to extend this principle to other States, but the Chancellor is opposed to such an attempt. Hence the dispute, and the retire ment of Count Bismarck—in disgust, it would seem. But is he the man to retreat from the fire of his opponents? TEE SPANISH REPUBLICANS. Spain still continues a prey to agitation of greatei - tirleas importance. A band of insurgents, brigands, or rioters has made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Seville, and has been deemed of sufficient consequence to require the attendance of troops. The Republican flag was hoisted by these malcontents, but the Republican leaders disclaim all connection with them. Other bands are giving trouble in Aragon and Andalusia. Don Carlos has issued a manifesto to the Spanish nation. MR. PEABODY. The splendid gift of one million dollars which Mr. Pea body has added to the Southern Education Fund doubles the whole amount, which is now two million dollars, with an income of 130,000 dollars. The prince of philanthro pists is now at Salem, in Massachusetts. Writing to a friend, he says that his health is very indifferent—not so good as it was on his arrival in Ame *c t. Mr. Peabody will be 75 years of age next February. THE DESTINY OF THE CHINESE. Will it fall to the lot of the superabundant population of China to join the Anglo-Saxon race in peopling the unoccupied portions of the globe? A few years ago, when not a China-nan could be seen outside the Celestial Empire, such a question would be re,„arded a 3 absurd. Now the aspect of affairs is very different. The race most zealous'y devoted to its old - traditions is spreading all over the world. The Western States of America are rapidly becoming peopled with Chinese. During the year 1866 the arrivals in California from China and Japan were 2,300, in MGT they were 3,303, and in 1868 they were more than 10,000, while this year they are expected to exceed any previous total. One agent has been sent out to China on behalf of a Chicago firm to negotiate for 50,000 of the ;e immigrants. The fact is, the Americans are disposed to encourage this great flow of the human race to the utmost extent. They are as glad to receive these us .ful colonists as the Chinese them3elves arc glad to get away from their mandarins and the bas' n do. Twelve hunched and fifty women were landed at San Francisco last month. The behaviour of the Chinese immigrants receives the highest pi alie from the American journals. TI el are very in 'us rious, thrifty, sober, and quiet. A remarkable contrast between their conduct and that of the Iri h end American labourers is given in one of the journals of Li Far West. The eastern portion of the I'acif.c y was made c iefly by the Irish or Americans ; the Chinese were employed on the western or Pacific end. The la ter portico -1 of the work was conducted with far more re‘u.. larity and good order than 'the former. The Sac - 71mile° Union says : " We do not recall to mind a single death by wanton violence on the line of the Central Pacific during the past year, while hardly a day has passed on the other end of the road without some act of murder or other atrocity. The Chinese have honestly won a compliment for good order, sobriety, and good work, which ought to sh:ime those white ruffians who are in the habit of traducing , their morals at the same time they are murdering each other." There is one cmtion to which the authorities of the 'United States would do well to give their .ittt n ion—they must ke .p the whisky bottle from their new suldi c* 1. Hither:A) this has been done with the most .saiihic results. The spread of the Chinese race in different parts of the world is one of the most remarkable ethnological phenomena of the age. SHIPPING DISASTER 3 IN THE EAST INDIES. Two terrible cyclones have recently swept over the Bay of Bengal —one on the IGth of May, the other on the 10th of June. Of the latter we as yet only know that it was extremely destructive to life and property ; but full particulars are to hand of the storm which took place on the IGth of May. The losses are of the most serious character. The town of Dacca, situated near the juncture of the Brahmapootra with a branch of the Ganges, was greatly injured. On the river alone f 20,000 worth of merchandise was destroyed. The loss of life in this quarter was confined chiefly to the natives ; but mje European, Mr. Ross Donnelly Stuart, perished. Worst of all, it is feared that the mail steamer Cheduba, of the Priti:l India Steam Navigation Company, foun dered during the cyclone. The Boeay Ga:Cte says she left the Sandheads early on the 15th, and nothing has since been heard of her. All hopes of her safety seem to have been abandoned. If the Cheduba has really foun dered there can be no hope that any of her crew or pas sengers have survived. Amongst her passengers was Major-General Robert Nicholas Faunce, of the Madras Staff Corps, an officer of about forty-five years' service. There wai alio on board Lieutenant Fergusson, of the 21st Fusiliers, besides a considerable number of natir . passengers. On the west coast of India two serious wrecks have occurred. The Great Northern, of Liverpool, a ship of 1,400 tons, was lost on the 7th of June, at Bassein, and fifteen of the crew were drowned. There were no passengers. The Bucentaur, also [of Liverpool, was wrecked near Bombay on June 3, but the crew were saved. FAMINE IN INDIA. Though the end of the famine in India was announced, the mail just in brings news of very severe distress in Itajpootana. The people suffer much, the animals still more. A local paper says :—" Not more than one-fourth of the horned cattle will survive the famine. Nearly one third are already dead, and there are yet another thirty days without a chance of new grass, while it is said that the mortality will be greatest when the cattle surfeit themselves on green food." The European population is WO sparse in this region to afford much assistance. The Sixth Annual Report of the Ladies' Commit tee of the Italian Aid Society, having for its object the sup port of an Orphanage for Protestant Italian Girls at Flor ence, states that " the contributions have been this year so small, that the establishment would have almost ceased to exist but for the timely aid of the American philanthro pists at Florence, and even as it is many applications for admission have to be refused." A suitable dwelling Las been found, but the price was £2,000, and at the close of last year it was thought that the orphans would be obliged to vacate it. In January last, however, the Americans at Florence came forward with help, and chiefly through their exertions and contributions it is hoped that the amount will be collected. The report states that of the £2,000 pur chase mouoy,"£800 is to be paid some time within the next seven months. In the meanwhile the friends of the schools at Florence will do all in their power, but they must fail un less they can have efficient aid from England and America." Many friends have sent gifts to the Orphanage, amongst others, a washing and sowing machine, by Mrs Colonel Chambers; two live lambs and a vine plant, from General Garibaldi. Annual subscriptions and donations may be paid to the treasurer or secretary ; or to the account of the Italian School Committee, at the London and Westmin ster Bank, Marylebone Branch, Stratford-place, W. Dona tions of cast-off clothing will 13)3 thankfully received by the secretary, 10, Summer-terrace, S.W., and forwarded in November to the Orphanage. FADTERTISE7 , .IENT.I-110110Way's Ointment and Pills. Notable facts.—lntense heat augments the annoyances of skin diseases and encourages the development of febrile. disorders ; wherefore they should, as they can, be removed by the detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's unguent well rubbed over the affected part im mediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, cheeks the threatening diarrhoea, and averts incipient cholera. The poorer inhabitants of large cities will find these remedies to be their best friends when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulcerations point out the presence of taints or impuriti es w ithi n th e sys t em, an d call for instant and effective curative measures.
