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. 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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Ea- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. 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 Unchallengeablo. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, iu 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 demise, 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 advanta e, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can a t au t i me b e w ithd rawn on the discontinuance of the ass uran d . The assured will thus always htive the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sutra payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t • the duration of the Poliey, 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 liv es o f 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 voyazing, 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 win 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 proilded 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 unchallengeable on any 11round 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 anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY lIARBEN, 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 f .or support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the desthute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contrib%tions are received by their hankers, Messrs. Brown, Transom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

L. MOSE LY, the Dentist by special appoint tn9nt, 312, REGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the !loyal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of piinless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one 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 pin, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, looso 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 youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth front 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. THE CANADIAN QUESTION, (From the Anglo-American Times.) No. 11. " Young Canada," although dogmatical, fails, as we think, to refute the article he undertakes to answer. We both consider that the comparative degree of prosperity where the nations adjoin is the best test of progress, but while we disclaimed discussing " a subject which would require both study and reflection," " Young Canada" prc fesses to have made it the subject of scientific in vestigation and analysis, and has arrived at the con clusion that " there is not the slightest ground for holding that the United States enjoy a greater mea sure of properity than their C:anadia❑ neighbours." Now, broadly speaking, British North America is larger than the United States, the former being estimated to contain nearly four millions of square miles, while the area of the thirty-seven States and eight Territories is about 3,400,000 square miles. Taking the census of 1860, we find the population of British North Americi to be estimated at 3,500,000, which gives one adult person for every two square miles, while in the United States there were five and a half adults to each square mile, the population being in the aggregate fourteen times as dense. This is the broad fact ; but we do not choose to rely on such generalities as broad facts ; for, again we repeat, that the compa • rative prosperity must be judged of wholly by the condition and well-being of the people on either side the boundary. " Young Canada," asserting labour to be the true source of national wealth, and the increase of population on the whole affording the best standard by which to judge of prosperity, proceeds to show that the population of the Dominion is increasing much more rapidly than that of the adjoining States. Now there are two palpable fal lacies in " Young Canada's" way of putting his pro position ; the first is, that his figures are incorrect, the second, that they omit something so material, as to vitiate the whole calculation, even had the figures been correct. In 1850, or rather in 1851, for the census was then taken, the population of Ontario was 952,004, and not as given in "Young Canada's" table 837,700, while his figures are exactly right for 1861. As regards Quebec or Lower Canada, his figures are again right for 1861, but wrong for 1851, when the population was 890,261, and not 845,000,.as he says. In respect to New Bruns wick, he omits only 800 people from the cen sus of 1851, but this is unfair, considering that he adds the odd number 47 to the New Brunswick census of 1861. "Young Canada's" error may consist in having unconsciously taken eleven years instead of ten for the Canadian increase, and this we con sider to be the more probable as he is accurate in his figures showing the population in the different States. Putting aside the errors in his Canadian table, the grave error in the comparison is this-- the Eastern States, such as Maine, New Hamp shire, and Vermont are those which go far in sup-' plying the inhabitants to Indiana, Illinois, lowa, and other prairie States. This drain renders the calculation essentially unfair, the more so as there is no such outlet within the Dominion. Minnesota is a State bordering on the British territories. Sup posing that our correspondent bad added it to his list, it would have shown for 1850, 6,077 ; for 1860, 172,123. Wisconsin is another, and its population iu 1850 was 305,391 ; in 1860, 775,881. Illinois and Indiana touch on Lake Michigan ; the former in 1850 contained 851,470; in 1860, 1,711,951 ; the lat ter, in 1850, 988,416; in 1860, 1,350,428. Let Young Canada throw in these States, and his deductions will be wholly changed. his manifestly unjust to com pare the increase in very small populations, with the increase in the very large. London is the most rapidly increasing city in the world, but any village which had 100 inhabitants and added another hun dred, would show a ratio far in excess. The larger the population of the United States as well as of Canada become, notwithstanding that the volume of immigr4ion continues to swell, still, the less will be the rail() of increase. If the United States now contain forty millions and the Dominion four millions, one million added to the popula tion of the latter; - will be in the ratio of ten millions added to the population of the former, and if Canada is contented, should the ratio little exceed this in favour of the British Provinces the Republic can have no reason to complain. But people ought not to be deluded into the belief that this ratio is that of the comparative prosperity. We have explained why the New England States which border on Canada do not show a greater increase in population ; the young citizens be ing attracted into the richer, more genial, and more easily cultivated Prairie States, where, as we observed in our article, they get into a drift of more enterprise, more capital, and more people, realising more quickly the prosperity they seek. Now, what we have always asserted is this : that a vast ma jority of those who emigrate to Canada cross the border, and do exactly what the New Englanders do, and although we laid this down as the first point for discussion, and it is clear that " Young Canada" does not overlook it, he is silent on the subject. We would like to draw his attention, as well as that of our readers, to the words of our article. Nor do we ignore the fact, that the New England States bordering on Canada have but little increased in population, while Canada has considerably increased, which tells in favour of the Dominion, as it shows that the States are not able to replenish the efflux, while Canada does. But a little inquiry will tell how ; for New Hampshire and Vermont have no agents in Europe turning the tide of emigration to those States, nor are there pamphlets and leading articles published in favour of them as of Canada ; meetings, speeches, and even sermons advocating emigration to the Dominion, while English men-of war have actually conveyed the emigrants gathered by subscriptions through societies formed for the ob ject of peopling the British Provinces. We have shown " Young Canada's" figures, where be deigns to give them, to be incorrect ; we have shown that he selects the States where the least increase is de veloped, and avoids those which may also be said to border the British dominions ; that he evades the very point of our article, au inquiry into which would have demonstrated why the New England States have not increased, as well as the cause of the Canadian exodus across the border ; therefore we may be excused for not following our corres pondent into mere assertions, to prove the fallacy, which we could easily do, of his statement, that there is " even a greater disparity in the relative increase of the other elements of prosperity." We cannot, however, forbear an allusion to one of these points ; the only railways of importance constructed in Canada, have beenbuilt with Bri tish money, by British engineers, to the mate rial loss of the Mother Country ; Is this an element comparing favourably with a similar one in the United States ? No doubt " Young Ca nada" is not prepared "to controvert the opinion of men of large military experience," that Canada could be defended against the United States in case of war. Indeed, if he wanted to argue against the almost unanimous verdict of officers of largo experience, he would have to take the other side and assert that it could be defended, for we main tain that where he found one to say it could be so defended, a score would be forthcoming to say it could not. Which power does he suppose would hold the Canadian ship-canals ten days after a De claration of War? Our correspondent's reference to the feeling of disgust called forth by the Prime Minister's reception of the New Yorker's assertion that irritation is felt in the Republic on account of the United Kingdom retaining its footing on American soil, is again unfairly illustrated. A Londoner's objection to the Republic's newly acquired Russian Territory, is altogether a dif ferent matter. Supposing that the United States purchased Norway, or Sweden, or Denmark, or the I-land of there, or in any way attempted to estab lish a political footing in Europe, a Londoner might, with great propriety, expresi " irritation " and alarm. Americans assert the broad principle, that the Continent should be free from the political con trol of Europe, and for this reason, they purchased the useless territory of Alaska, being always prepared to make sacrifices in upholding what they profess. Nor can we trace the connection between the pub lisher and au ass, even supposing that a writer did make a donkey of himself ' • but we confess the ob scurity of this sent ence i s beyond us, and we may do "Young Canada" an injustice, if wo touch fur ther upon it. v r_diN I)ARTRIDGE AND .COOPER.
