A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. 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 a bsolutely 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 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, 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assure t 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 Poli c y o f t hi s d escr ipti on . Every P o li c y i ssue d on this plan w i l l b e w ith ou t an y conditions as to voy ag i ng, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By thi s f reedom from restrict i ons o f a ll ki n d s 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 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.

The minutes of the various meetings of the Paris Coh ference have been given to the world. As the final result and many incidents which transpired during the negotia: tions are known, these documents can have only an historic value ; but, nevertheless, certain items of this ineeting of diplomatists are worthy of notice. It is remarkable, for instance, that at the third sitting, when the Greek Government positively refused to take part in the Conference except on the same terms as Turkey, this announcement was made by the Russian Ambassador. All the other plenipotentiaries had declared themselves ready to proceed with the business, whether Greece took part in it or not. The Russian representa tive said that hewas prepared to do the same, but that his attitude would be modified by the absence of M. Rangabe. He would be obliged to undertake the defence of Greece in many cases when he would have remained silent, had the small State been represented —upon which the Ambassadors hastened to agree that the absence of Greece must be met by greater moderation on the part of all con cerned. The Russian Ambassador became, in fact, the defender of Greece throughout, and in some measure there was no mistaking the sympathy which the Austro- Hungarian representative manifested for the cause of Turkey. Tho attitude of Djemil Pasha, too, was charac terised by the greatest reserve and caution. All the Ambassadors were excessively chary of dealing with facts, and it. was agreed that the powers of the Conference could not extend beyond the discussion of principles. The minutes of the seventh sitting reveal an interesting detail ; the Greek Government really did send to its representative at Paris a despatch, con taining certain revelations, and attributing the blame of certain events to the Porte, but, acting on the adviceof the French Minister, M. Rangabb suppressed this communi cation. At the last sitting, M. de Lavalette said that though he had no desire to exaggerate the effect of the Conference, yet its good results were incontestable, for the Powers represented had averted a war in the East. He hoped this peaceful work would remain as a precedent which might more and more be made use of. To this wish the other representatives gave their hearty adherence, and then the Conference was at an end. SPAIN. The Portuguese, notwitiiiiiiiding their many troubles, seem to rejoice at the diminished prospect of union to Spain. Dom Ferdinand is every day in the receipt of addresses from popular assemblies, congratulating him GU his resolution not to accept the sovereignty of the"rieigh . 4 bouring kingdom. THE REVOLT IN CUBA. Telegrams favourable to the cause of Spahi In Cuba have been received at Madrid. The New York papers, however, hear nothing of this good news. Their very full intelligence represents the Cubans as still numerous and powerful, the standard of revolt still floating everywhere. But whatever may be the prospects of the insurrection, there can be no doubt as to its effects upon the country— it is a prey to all the horrors of a civil war. Havannah is practically in a state of siege, banditti pillage the estates, troops of negroes wander about the country, famine is imminent in some quarters, and disease prevalent in many. The Cubans who were found on board the British schooner Galvanic have been tried for treason, and sentenced to death. The schooner has been declared a legal prize, and the British Consul has notified this judgment to the English Government. He has hopes that the captain and the crew will be released. NEWS MANUFACTURE. Roumania has long enjoyed the reputation of being the most mendacious country in Europe. No other State can enter into comparison with it in the matter of manufac turing and distributing false intelligence. The source of this great pre-eminence has been ascertained. A Pole, named Dunin, has been arrested at Bucharest at the moment when he was sending off by telegraph au interesting despatch announcing the appearance of Bul garian and Greek bands, the distribution of Mazzinian proclamations, and the outbreak of dangerous troubles in Roumania. He confessed his fault, and admitted that he was the author of many other bulletins of the kind which had passed from one capital to another, and had been generally received in Europe as light shed upon the mysteries of Eastern politics. He has been turned out of the country. It is believed that he is not the only offender. ITALY. The Italian Government has been negotiating of late with some of the great financial houses with the view of getting rid of that blight of civilisation—inconvertible paper currency. It was intended to apply the ecclesias tical property to this purpose, but the negotiations have failed. Nevertheless the Government has not given up the idea of a speedy resumption of specie payments. Count Cambray•Digny intends to try another plan founded upon the gradual sale of the Church property. AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND. According to the Debatte, of Vienna, there is much reason to believe that the treaty of commerce between Austria and England will be finally ratified. The Austrian Government has proposed to substitute a tariff by weight for the ad valorem tariff in the additional convention—the source of all the difficulty. The Debate thinks that the British Government will accept this modification, and ti.a more so as the new duties will be nearly equal to those levied by the Zollverein. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. The Irish Church Bill was issued yesterday. It is not nearly so long as was reported, and contains only sixty-three clauses within twenty-eight foolscap pages. The preamble sets forth that whereas it is expedient that the union between the Churches of England and Ireland should be dissolved, and that the Church of Ireland should cease to be established by law, and the property of the said Church should be used for the advantage of the Irish people ; and it is further expedient that the property should be used mainly for the relief of unavoidable calamity and suffering; and her Majesty having placed her interests at the disposal of Parliament; Be it there fore enacted, &c. IRISH ELECTIONS. Although Sir Dominic Corrigan's challenge has not yet been accepted, it is said that there is not the least doubt but that a Conservative candidate will come forward, and i . ).,.500 have already- been sub scribed by the party. The name of the champion is kept a profound secret, but a hint is given that it will be the brother of the unseated member—we presume Mr. Cecil Guinness, who has already declined to stand. At Cashel the number of candidates is legion, and it is to be hoped that t.Ney will all be disappointed by the disfranchising of this most guilty borough. At Sligo two Liberals are already in the field— Captain Flanagan, who was defeated at the last election, and Mr. O'Malley Irwin. Banquets to the unseated members are the order of the day at Cashel and Sligo. There are likely to be some more of these rather lugubrious feasts before the judges have completed their work. THE ARMY. The Times is satisfied after Mr. Cardwell's recent explanation that the duality which is popularly sup posed to exist in the administration of the army does not actually exist. True, there are two elements, the civil and the military ; but the military is distinctly subordinate, the civil distinctly supreme. It may fairly be questioned, however, if there is not some loss of time and money and eilicienzy in the material separation of the administration as carried on in the War Office and the Horse Guards. In fact, Mr. Cardwell hiipself asserted that Ministers bad no doubt upon this point. The Times, thererofe. comes to the conclusion that it will undoubtedly be expe dient, and will as certainly promote economy no less than despatch in the transaction of business, to put an end to this division and bring the two establish ments together. THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. A correspondent of the Daily .IVezts puts down four thing's as necessary to the Church hes to of Eng m al land, she 1.1 #o become popular, if she wisie herself the people's Church :-1. Short services and absence of repetition of the Sallle pray2r in one ser vice. 2. Hearty serdce-q, services in which all . the congregation, rich and ppor, may heartily join. 3. Extempore and short sermons. Written sermons should be abolished. 4. Free and unappropriated siftings. THE ADOPTION OF ARBITRATION. Men and masters in the North of England are beginning to recognise the value of arbitration. Instead of the old, expensive, exhaustive, and evil system of demands, refusals, strikes, and lock-outs, we have the more peaceable terms—conferences, meetings, and courts of conciliation. In Darlington, for instance, the men in the iron trade were dis satisfied, some revival of business having lately taken place, but no increase of wages. Instead of refusing to listen to one another, on Mon day t a t t r t li l t e et que together stii ii of to increase talk is over. to remain in abeyance for the pre i sen+ o „ t and a court of arbitration is b e i ng formed. f this a trade millennium, bothwhose money inaug is it e he wealth and he w h ose s t reng th i s hi s r i c h es w ill have reason t o remem b er gratefully Mr. Mundella. THE MANUFACTURE OF MATCHES AND CLOCKS.- A. most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, P 9, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 5S and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies. are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser lieg e° tin its iture' two 565,' per and - ,ortu, S ilil: Oue 3 pe r no rth fifty oreo ral le ' L!iel )1 Irim a lJ t the l iort ntd e ) re the_ ;tire , a i° 305-, ~ e ~v Ana re s l sold stil l the the P re' Of 3 the al)% , )r oi 100/ har e ; res 9 tor* oia ,CO 1 .; ) -i tio' Iwo I
