The directors draw special attention to the fact that 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 the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 6?, 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 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 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 pletnium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time bo withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 detinel The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others bolding - policies of this clts , as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to nrti,it-tin foil benefit of the Assuranz.,•es--a matter of great importance where policies .fia IRMA— t•3 .__. ~.3304.44r11 It is only necessary to :eTd AS a consequence of the policies under these tables belngt unfortettatdr and uncon ditional, they will also be uneiodl.r.geable on any 0 round hatever.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger denies that Mr. Motley hasbeen instructed to reopen negotiations with the English Government on the basis of Mr. Sumner's speech. " Neither the President nor Secretary Fish, in their in. structions, have deemed it necessary to make any reference to that speech whatsoever. On the contrary, if all the facts were known, it might possibly appear that, so far from Mr. Sumner's sentiments being in accordance with the views of the Administration, they have been to it the occasion of much annoyance and embarrassment." It is curious to observe the eagerness with which the American papers hasten to throw over this unfortunate speech. ;J THE OCCUPATION OF HOME. The Paris official papers have denied a report to the effect that an arrangement or treaty had been concluded between Italy and France for the evacuation of Rome. No such denial was needed. It is not expected that the two Governments would go through the process of signing and sealing in such a business as this ; but though no treaty has been signed, our Rome correspondent informs us that an understanding has been arrived at, and this is the opinion of the Temps and other well-informed journals. The Moniterr is positive that the evacuation will take place in September, and that the Papal Government has been informed of this resolution. GERMAN UNITY. The party in Bavaria favourable to the union of all Germany in one Confederation have carried 38 seats out of 150 at the late general election. German unity has, therefore, been rejected in Bavaria. The Unionists have just published a manifesto, containing a formal declaration in favour of a single Parliament, of a common legislation for all Germany, of an extension of the powers of the Customs' Parliament, and of theunion between North and South Germany. " Not says the signers, "to ' Pros,. - sianise ' but to 'Germanise' the latter." In order to attain that object, the manifesto proclaims the y of maintaining peace. The strong anti-Unio have elected about 80 deputies. The remaining Be it , have been carried by politicians of various shades. TAE lONIAN ISLES. 4 4.i.7z41104; The prosperity of the lonian Islands has so greatly diminished since they were relinquished by England and annexed to Greece, and the discontent amongst the people is so great, that the King of Greece, says the Patrie, has determined to reside alternately at Athens and Corfu. The Court will follow the King, and the islands may thus regain some of the wealth which they enjoyed when British officials and visitors resided there. ADVENTURE OF MAZZINL France is forbidden ground to Mazzini. He is under numerous sentences from the French courts, the execution of which is in abeyance simply because the police have been unable to arrest him. It is asserted, however, that he passed through Paris a day or two ago, sat down and smoked a cigar in front of one of the cafes on the Boulevards, and, as he was setting his foot on board the steamer at Boulogne to go to England, put into the hands of a messenger a telegraphic despatch to the Prefect of Police, to inform him that he bad just passed unperceived through the .country where he is so much "wanted." The Gaulois gives this romantic story ; but it is just to say that Mazzini has done such things before. THE MISERIES OF FOREIGN BONDHOLDERS. The recent eagerness to invest money in foreign securi ties is likely to be followed by a panic. Several Govern ments who have obtained good round sums in cash from English capitalists have repudiated their obligations alto gether ; others have temporarily suspended the payment of interest on debt; others have heavily taxed their bonds; and some, for example Russia, are borrowing at such a rate that a catastrophe may be confidently looked for. Austria has recently passed a law ordaining the compul sory conversion of the national debt into bonds of a uniform character ; that is, money which was borrowed at a high rate of interest shall be reduced to a denomination paying but a low rate. The foreign holders have vainly appealed for exemption from this measure. Lord Clarendon has informed the Committee of Foreign Bondholders that the Austrian Government have declared their inability to depart, in favour of foreign holders of Austrian Bonds, from the law imposing the compulsory conversion of the debt, " since it is imperative on the Government to utilise every source of revenue in order to bring the country through its pecuniary embarrassments." The unfortunate committee have resolved to try further agitation. VIRGINIA. It is satisfactory to learn that the Southern State of Virginia is rapidly recovering from its troubles. No por tion of the United States, we are informed, is making better progress. The tobacco crop promises well ; the wheat harvest will be, perhaps, the heaviest and finest ever known. A large proportion of settlers from Europe and the Northern States take up their residence in this fine country. Political violence in Virginia has moderated, and the State is to be admitted within the Union ; though inaitterenr-are tlmbcorple ir.E in the opinion of the - .TnyTo...Cnter wan nnet. wilnrouble to vote. And yet the " Old Dominion " was the chief seat of the late conflict. For more than four years it was un• ceasingly devastated 1-y the tide of war. No other part of the Union suffered so dreadfully. The rapid rise of Virginia shows that even the effects of the American civil war may pass away. PROGRESS IN MICA. Sir Rutherford Alcock has written another desponding despatch relative to the advance of civilisation in China. Onr Ambassador fully admits the importance of railroads and telegraphs in China ; but no efforts made by himself or his brother Ambassador—and they have been both earnest and continuous—have prevailed with the Chinese Government, or succeeded in removing their objections to initiatory steps in any of these direc tions, excepting only coal mines, some of which the Chinese are willing to work themselves with foreign aid. Sir Rutherford adds that it is extremely doubtful whether the right to reside in the interior has been secured to British subjects by the Russian Treaty. In spite of this Chinese repugnance to foreign intervention, the Times of India remarks that a Chinese deputation on the subject of connecting Russia and the Celestial Empire by railway is reported to been route to St. Petersburg. JAPAN. A very unexpected piece of intelligence is given, on the authority of authentic documents, by the Japan Timm Several of the principal daimios, it says, have re signed their rank, independent power, rights as sovereign princes, lands, and men into the hands of the Mikado, with a view to centralise and strengthen the Government of Japan, and to enable their country "to take its place side by side with the other countries of the world." This step, if it has been really tali,m, will undoubtedly centralise and strengthen the Government. These daimios are exceedingly numerous and powerful. There is at least 150 of them, and they possess incomes ranging from three-quarters of a million sterliw per annum to a few thousand pounds. The resources of a few of the chief of these native princes employed in the interests of civilisa tion would revolutionise Japan. INDIA. The Central Asia question has relapsed into its normal state of dulness. The Times of India says that, notwithstanding rumours of a Persian invasion of Herat, the whole of Ameer Shere Ali's dominions may be said to be peaceful at present. Latest reports represent Turkistan as again united under the Ameer's rule, the sons of Azim Khan having found their father's ease hopeless and given up the struggle. For this peaceful aspect of affairs Shere Ali may thank the honour done him on British territory. The visit to Umballa has been so beneficial to him that he can scarcely fall into forget tulness of us, especially as his recollection of what is due to our interests will be refreshed by the periodical present cf money and arms. Our new possession, the Andaman Islands, is to be used as a convict station. Forty-six prisoners, under the guard of ten sepoys, attempted to escape, but a soldier shot one of them, and has been acquitted of all blame for the deed. The remaining forty-five were shipped without difficulty. The re-marriage of widows is strictly forbidden by the Hiudoo laws of caste and religion. British endeavours to promote reform in this direction have not been very successful. One Hindoo judge has created great amuse ment by advertising, though an old man, his Quixotic desire to marry a Hindoo widow. The Committee appointed by the Southern Ex cursionists, conslstinET of ex-Governor Ward, Col. Forney, Gen. Van Wyck, and Clinton Lloyd, on their return to Washington, had a long interview with the President, touching the business, educational, and other interests in the Southern States, which they represented to be in an improving condition. The President expressed satisfac tion with the results of the mission and his belief that it would be productive of good results. Alr. Charles G. Atkins, of Augusta, has been appii,,ted Fishery Commissioner in the State of Maine. He is to hold office for three years, and to have the gene ral supervision of the fisheries and wardens. The Act of tho Legislature creating the office provides for the re stocking of thoss rivers which formerly abonndod with salmon and other fish. The operations of the Commis missioner will first be directed to making the river suit able for the fish, which are afterwards to be introduced and protected. Fish passes in the dam will be first ar ranged, some of those int,-oduced by the wardens having been found to be useless. .I)UN N't t,I.E and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
