THE REVALENTA ARABICA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion - strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhcea, all gastric de rangements, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT Caurrox.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liobig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 68 ,413):—"R0me, July 21st, 1866. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated 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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and lIN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Loudon, E.G. 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 bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For - the reason referred to, many, persons hesitate or decline to asgure . ou 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 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 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 elact value, either imnn►odiate 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 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 unchallongeable 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 King-dom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

The Second Report of the Courts-martial Commission has just been issued, and contains several practical suggestions for increasing their efficiency and influence. - The Commis sioners record with satisfaction their belief that these court have the confidence of the army, notwithstanding some defects which require correction. The principal kinds of courts-martial are the general, the district, and the regimental. A.• general court is convened by the com mander-in-chief or by a general officer, empowered by warrant under sign manual. This court has the power to try crimes however grave, and, with the exception of corporal punishment, can award any sentence, including that of death. A district court-Martial differs from a gene ral one, in the number and standing of its members, in not being attended by a deputy-judge-advocate, and in having no power to try a commissioned, officer, or to pass a sentence of death or penal servitude. A. regimental court is convened by the commanding officer of a regiment exclusively for the trial of crimes committed within the regiment, and all the proceedings are conducted by the court itself without the assistance of a prosecutor or a Deputy Judge Advocate. The law of courts-martial is derived from the Mutiny Act, the Articles of War, and her Majesty's regulations, and "When they are silent by the custom of war. The commis sioners complain of the complicated state of the military law as laid down in the Acts of Parliament and the Articles of War, and they strongly recommend its simplification, and that a text book on military law should be prepared for the instruction of officers and for the use of courts martial. They advise that courts-martial should in the main be constituted as 'at present, and think it essential to maintain strictly their military character, but stipulate that the Deputy- Judge Advocate should have a competent knowledge of the laws of evidence. With the view of reducing the number of regimental courts-martial, they would enlarge the powers of commanding officers. Whenever the services of a shorthand writer can be obtained, the witnesses should ho examined -viva race,- and they think the prisoners should be supplied with the list of witnesses. Cases of embezzlement should be submitted to ordinary criminal tribunals, and the practice of re-assembling a court to revise their senten ce should be abolished. With regard to punishments they recommend that one or more central military prisons bo established, that a scale of fines bo substituted for imprisonment as a punishment for drunkenness, that the punishment of non-commissioned officers need not necessarily imply their reduction to the ranks, and that greater facility be afforded for the discharge of men of bad character. PARLIAMENTARY AND MUNICIPAL ELECTIOAS COMMITTEE. This select committee reassembled on Friday, when the Marquis of Hartington presided. Lord Stratbnairn, commander of the forces in Ireland, was in the country during the last general election. • The distribution of troops was altered in consequence of a requisition from the Government. The troops were frequently used for the purpose of escorting voters. His attention bad been called to the evidence givenby General McMurdoch, and be disagreed with that part which referred to the employment of troops at Ballybriggan. Before being appointbd commander-in-chief, he had acted in a. military capacity- at elections. He had escorted voters, but "layer - dreamt of coercing them. He could not say that voters went against their will ; but, of course, -many went under the influence of the Catholic clergy. By Mr. Egerton : If the landlord or some other persons 'end an application for troops, an officer has no discretion to refuse an escort. By Mr. W. Hunt : The order for troolt has never varied with the Government. By the Chairman : Thought the instructions of General 1 1 / 4 1cAlurdoch rather too voluminous and embarrassing. Witness gave orders that there should be no escort with out cavalry, and he thought that necessary. Did not agree with General McMurdoch that the cavalry should be armed with sticks or bludgeons, believing that it would be rather a provocation to the mob. A magistrate was applied to to accompany the troops, and it _was the rule to ask the senior magistrate. By The O'Connor Don: Believed the same feeling existed in Ireland two or three years ago, when several outrageous acts came under his notice. Believed the Ribbonmen were the rank and file of Feniauism, and the Catholic clergymen took a very improper course in refs• rence to it. By Mr. Egerton: Did not believe that the Ballot would of itself afford sufficient protection. Roman Catholic priests could bring pressure that others could not. Was in favour of providing additional polling•places. Did not think that the Ballot would have a tendency to increase the purity of elections. By Mr. Ward Hunt : Believed that if there was bal loting, and a person whose politics were known came to record his vote, he would stand the same chance of being attacked as at present. By the O'Connor Don : Supposing the magistrate or iandowner ordered the troops to covey voters to a certain place, and one of the electors did not want to finish his journey, an officer of ordinary intelligence would, of course, let him do as he chose. By Sir Frederick Heygate : Did not believe that the constabulary would be sufficient without troops. By Mr. Brand : No doubt the officer would allow a voter who wished to go from his escort to do so. He thought General McMurdoch wrong when he said that he considered voters under escort as prisoners. Had written to several officers on the subject, and they none of them looked on voters in the light stated by the General. By Mr. Villiers : Had heard, by means of a letter from The O'Connor Don, that voters had been escorted some days before the election ; but had found such was not the case. There was no necessity for a magistrate to accompany the troops, as the stipendiary magistrate had power in the matter. The Roman Catholics seemed to believe that they were like like prisoners when under an escort. This idea, he believed, had arisen from candidates in their speeches instilling such a belief into their minds. Mr. Justice Blackburn was afterwards called, and reiterated what his bretheren of the bench had previously said. Lieutenant-General Sabine, President of the Royal Society, is about to be made a civil ii. 0.8., in recognition of his eminent scientific attainments. The Liberation Society is arranging for a great metropolitan meeting in support of the Government mea sure, and also for an influential deputation to Mt. Gladstone. THE RUMOURED DEATH OF J. C. HEENAN.—A report has been going the round of the daily and evening press to the effect that John C. Heenan died recently, and that the Californian papers contained long accounts of his funeral. The numerous friends of Heenan in this country will be glad to hear that there is no foundation for the report. We learn from a correspondent, on whom we can rely, that Heenan was, as late as the 23rd of last month, in New York alive and well, and that he has not been in California for the past ten years. Three gentlemen, known to us, saw and conversed with Heenan on June 23, the day that the steamEkhip Cuba left New York. We believe that a Californian is just dead who received from his asso ciates Heenan's sobriquet of " Benicia Boy," which ac counts for the unfounded rumour as regards the renowned opponent of Tom Sayers.—Sporting Life. COSTS ON ELECTION PETITIONS.—A question of come importance as to costs on election petitions was before Mr. Baron Martin, at Chambers, on the Penryn election case on Thursday. The application was on the :art of the sitting members, whose seats had been contested, that Master Gordon shoull review his taxation. The Lill of costs on the part of the members, whose election was declared valid, amounted to about £1,700, and the Master had reduced it to about £BOO. Mr. Buck (I3axter, Rose, and Norton), who appeared for the respon dents, referred to the allowance of only 100 guineas to the leading counsel, when the fee with the brief was 300 guineas, and a material point in the taxation was whether costs as between attorney and client or as between party and party should be allowed. Mr. Hoskins appeared en the other side. Mr. Baron Martin thought that the application to review the taxation should be referred to the court, and stand over till Michaelmas Term. He di rected £BOO out of the £l,OOO deposited for costs to be paid tg, the respondents pending the application to the fourth. . . A TTRACJIVE . SPECULATIONS. NBIVALLED SUCCESS.
