Established 1548. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not !Infrequently urged by p:•rsons invited to as sure, that tho ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolv,•d to p-olnulgate 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 piernium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the (14 - continuance of the assurance. The assurevl 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 Couil•any on these points, as is the case with ordinary assuranees, Creditors assuring the lives of debtors: will appreciate this feature its one greatly protective of their interests, snit it will likewise comme•ml itself to bankers, caleit•ilists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, .as they cute at any time learn, by mere inspection, tilt exact value, either immediate or re vers'oaary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be with int any co n ditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or otlulr . usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and tbe Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly define& 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 groat 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. CLERICAL. MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURAN I E SOCIETY. 13, ST. JAMES'S SQUARE, LONDON, S.W. CHAIRMAN. Right non. John Robert Mowbray, M.P. DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence, 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of Life, whore the ago does not exceed GO, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may bo assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTUIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London, S.W.

ONDON FEVER HOSPITAL is the only ill institution in the Metropolis for the treatment and prevention of contagious fevers. CONTRIBUTIONS will be gratefully received by Messrs. Dimsdale and Co., 50, Cornhill ; Messrs. Drum mond, Charing-cross; Messrs. Coutts, Strand ; Messrs. Hoare, Fleet-street ; and by the Secretary, at the Hospital, Liverpool-road, Islington, N. Mr. Senato► Chandler will by this time have had an opportunity of learning what the Canadians think of annexation to the United States. The Hon. F. Galt gave notice in the Canadian Parliament on the 22nd of April . that on the last day of the month he would call for the, production of the papers relating to the cost of defending the frontier against the Fenians, as constituting a claim for indemnity upon the United States. The Fenian raids were organised in the United States, and therefore, says Mr. Galt, the Washington Government ought to pay the cost involved by them. As a matter of course, some of the New York papers have gone frantic over this motion ; but the indemnity claim is only "bogus." Mr. Galt intends the motion only as a means of eliciting the opinion of the Canadian House of Com mons on Mr. Chandler's late speech in the United States Senate touching the cession'of Canada as a discharge in full of the Alabama bill. Bnt the New York papers may well dislike this discussion, for they u ill probably have learned ere this that Canada's sympathies are ou the side of England. AMERICA AND CUBA. The bearing of a telegram recently sent by the Phila delphia correspondent of the Times is very much modified by a letter from the same writer. The telegram informed us that the insurrection was declining, and that the American Government would do nothing to help it. The letter states that though General Grant's Ministry would not recognise the Cuban insurgents its moral support is fully accorded to them. The Spanish Minister at Washington recently visited the Secretary of State, and slaked him to procure the issuing of a proclamation by the President forbidding the fitting out of expeditions in the United States in aid of the insurgents. This the Secre tary, much to the surprise of the Spanish Minister, who had understood him to be opposed to the insurgents, declined to do. ta. Fish urged that it would never do for a country like the United States to denounce as adven turers and robbers men who might voluntarily go to aid a people struggling fbr their independence. The Spanish Minister formally repeated his request in writing, but be met with the same response. The Times correspor.dent thinks the American Government is disposed to give the rebels every possible encouragement. FREE TRADE V. PROTECTION.. The hopes of the American Free-traders are rising. It is noticeable that New England, which was once the great centre of Protection, is now at least tolerant of adverse opinions. A great meeting was held at Boston on the 20th of April for the purpose of organising a " Reform League," to agitate for a financial revolution on the principles of Free Trade. Such men as Air. W. Lloyd Garrison, J. Quincy Adams, and many others of mark, are members of the " League." Besides Mr. Gar rison, several other New England anti-slavery agitators have joined the cause of Free Trade. The perseverance and energy.of these men are not to be despised. " The con test will probably grow until it becomes one of the chief political strifes of the country." THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND THE CRETAN INSURGENTS. Some of the leaders of the Cretan insurrection—not those who surrendered on the faith of an amnesty—were tried by the Turkish tribunals and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. Whilst the Prince and the Princess of Wales were at Constantinople some of these prisoners managed to send a petition to the Princess, imploring her to intercede with the Sultan on their behalf. The Princess, of course, referred the matter to her husband, who prudently declined to interfere ; but the circumstance got to the ear of the Grand Vizier, who at once gratified the wish of the Princess by pardoning the offenders. They were released on Wednesday. There is no reason to doubt that the Porte was justified in punish ing these men, and their release is another instance of that exquisite courtesy with which the Sultan has treated his royal visitors. Perhaps if the Sultan visits England again our magnates may condescend to learn by his example. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. According to the Memorial Diplomatique, Russia has met with a rebuke from the other European Powers. It will be remembered that the St. Petersburg Government recently addressed a memorandum to the various Cabinets, asking for their co-operation in insisting upon a modification of the very strict naturalisation law decreed by the Porte. It was stated a short time ago that the Turkish Government was disposed voluntarily to modify this decree. Whether this be the case or not, the Powers have one and all refused to interfere, says the Memorial Diplomatique, and Russia has withdrawn her request, which may be regarded as null and void. The object of the Turkish law which has given offence to the Czar's Government was to prevent the wholesale naturalisation of Turkish subjects in Russia and Greece. THE ANOLO.OEttMAN POSTAL TREATY. -The explanation given by the Independance Edge of the "hitch" in the negotiations between England an' Germany relative to a reduced postal tariff seems to be correct aft er all. In the North German Parliament, on Tuesday, the Postmaster• General said that the difference of opinion between the contracting parties was not regard ing the rate of postage for letters, but concerned the in demnity to be paid the South German Post-office authori ties for sealed packets exchanged, or which may hereafter be exchanged, between England and the German State:. This version of the Postmaster-General's statement, which is given in the North German Correspondent, differs materially from the telegraphic account. It is believe! that this small difficulty will soon be overcome.
