The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. 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 mena ce ement 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.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UY -1--- FORFEITABLE; , N CONDITIONAL,• and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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, 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of tt Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on Ibis 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-fire years, and the shortest five v eco.. 41— bankers. creth tors, and others holding polici es of titts as secunty, may always know the utmost amount they may be call6d 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 cnnsoquenee of the rolicies under these Wiles being unforfeitable and uncon dit'onal, they will also be unchellengeable on any kround whatever. they may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Pelicies. 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 litrairyss of any office in the Kingdom.

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. 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 beta institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN DIESSENT, Actuary and Secretary. London, March 18, 1869. ~- ,-, -- --- --.. ' - 4-.6------•-•e-•-6 ' - -•• •' v RY EXPLOSION YEAR TVA NSEA. A melancholy colliery accident has just oec-arred at the Mynydd Newydd Colliery, in the parish of Llangyfeiach. The colliery is the property of Messrs. Vivian and Sons. Thursday evening last being the day previous to Good Fri day, the colliery was comparatively deserted by its ordinary inmates, who were bent on enjoying the holiday. Instead, therefore, of the colliery being worked, as usual, bysome 100 to 150 men, only ten persons were employed in the place at the time of the catastrophe. Five men and boys were engaged at one of the headings, and five men and boys at a second heading. A lad named Lewis, 16 years Of age who was working in one heading, told his comrades he was going to an old heading, in which no one was working, fora shovel; and he took a candle with bim. One of the colliers warned him that he must not take a candle to the place, as it was likely that the fatal gas might have accumu lated there, although the rest of the colliery appeared to have been exceedingly well ventilated. Lewis replied that he would take care not to take the candle there. It transpired that after this caution the ill-fated lad stuck the candle against one of the passages some distance from the heading ; and proceeded into it in quest of his shovel. Shortly after he had entered a loud explosion was heard, and the fatal gas swept towards the heading where the men were working. Two cf the poor fellows were killed on the spot from the effects of the after danp, and the lad Lewis, the. cause of the unfortunate accident, had his feet blown off, and he was so mutilated as not to be recognisable. The five men who were engaged in an adjoining heading were not injured by the explosion, and they rushed to the rescue of the others. ROYAL HOSPITAL for INCURABLES, West-hill, Putney-heath.

UAW:* ANA Um. §oni FATAL GUN ACCIDENT At the Castle of Exeter, on Saturday, Charles Staddon, a joiner's apprentice, was brought before the county magistrates on the charge of manslaughter. John Western, labourer, aged 25,_in_tha employ of Messrs. Dewdney, at the Paper Mills, Stoke Canon, a village about five miles from this city, was on Good Friday morning shot dead. Western, who was a steady young man and much respected by his neighbours, went to the parish church, but, finding on reaching the door that he was rather late, he retraced his steps. On passing the shop of Mr. Richards, who is a carpenter, and also sells provisions, he turned into a passage leading to the joinering-shop, intending to get, a pipe of tobacco from the son of Mr. Richards. Just as he approached the gate, which was partially closed, the melancholy event occurred—he was shot in the left eye and killed instantaneously. The shot came from the shop, which he was about to enter, and passed through the higher part of the gate. It was fired from a gun by Charles Staddon, apprentice to Mr. Richards, with whose son he was at the time engaged in making a coffin. The ratter was the only witness of the occurrence. He stated to the magistrates that the gun belonged to his father, who is a bit of a sportsman, and the day previously was preparing to shoot pigeons. Mr. Richards, senior, :oaded the gun, and in doing so unfortunately broke aff the brass end of the ramrod, which with [the powder he left inside. Placing the weapon in a vice, he endea. oured to get the broken ramrod out, but did not try the plan of applying a percussion cap, and firing off the contents. Young Staddon did this as an experiment, with the grievous mischief stated. Taking up the gun which Mr. Richards had hurriedly left standing against the wall, he remarked to the son that he should like to see whether t would go off. He then took a cap out of his waistcoat pocket, and fired in the direction of the gate, with the consequences above narrated. The bench remanded the =se, admitting the prisoner to bail. THE PRESTON STRIKE. The latest from treston is that the operatives on strike are as determined as ever to resist a reduction of 10 per cent. in their wages. The masters shew no sign whatever of rescinding their proposition. On the 7th of next month, when the longest notices will expire, about thirty mills will be closed and upwards of 16,000 hands on strike. On iaterday the operatives at another mill (Mr. Maynard's) struck work, their fortnight's notice having terminated. The operative weavers, who are by far the largest section of factory bands in the town, continue to express their willingness to submit to a reduction of 5 per cent„ which will bring them down to the standard list—a minimum scale of remuneration, agreed to nine years since, and based upon the average wages paid throughout the town at that time. But they will strike rather than make a further concession. The entire num ber of weavers on strike is about 1,500, exclusive of depen dents, who will swell the ranks into more than 2.000- evttsaa pael. Sew Gays meetings in support of the isreston weavers have been held at Chorley, Black burn, Darwen, Clitheroe, Clayton-le-Moors, Accring ton, ITaslineen, Ramsbuttem, and Padiham. They have been addressed by deputies from Preston, who attended in accordance pith requests from the various cli. tried mentioned, and at each of them resolutions in sups ort of the Preston operatives were carried. Levies amount on the average to about 2d. per loom were agreed niew at al of them, and the money will, in the course of the next few days, be forwarded to Preston. The operatives persist in raying that the notice for a reduction has been withdrawn at the five mills of Messrs. Haw icins ; but that tirus has not dune so, and it is certain :hat the notice has been torn doe n. The spinners and minders, upon whose will depends the employment of the great majority of the operatives, will accept no reduction. They are being paid in accordance with the standard list, and insist upon either its strict secognition or an appeal to arbitration. They have good premises of support, and will be able to maintain their posi #ion for a long time. The addition made to the hands on strike during the week has been about 200 ; the number of mills at which strikes have occurred is seven ; and there are now nearly 3,000 operatives out of work. The card room bands, who number about 2,000, are more strongly opposed to the 10 per cent. reduction than the spinners, for they allege that they are now being paid 20 per cent. below the generality of similar operatives in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. The delegates ent out by this body to lay their case before the ,psratives c f surrounding districts returned on Saturday with very favourable reports as to the support which would be given to them if no arrangement is come to eefore the general notices expire. There are sixty of the card-room hands now on strike. These operatives have two associations and an " institute," and the women, who have a union among themse'ves, are very fiercelyopposed to any reduction. The card-room hands on strike receive Ss. per week—a sum amounting to more than some of them got when working short time at the wages now paid. Throughout the entire operative community of Preston there is a determination to resist the 10 per cent. reduction. The masters, on the other hand, say that it must be submitted to, and some of them are prepared to keep their mills standing twelve months, presuming that there is no change in the markets, rather than give way to the claims of the operatives. Another large meeting of delegates from various towns in .:ancashire was held at the Weavers' Institute, Preston. an Sunday. The early portion of the meeting was taken up with the reading oi' reports as to grants made in different places for the weavers on strike. The best eeports—those announcing the most money in comparison with the number of operatives—came from Darwen, Chorley, Haslingden, and Padilsam. It is stated that Blackburn has yet done nothing worth mentioning in the latter of contributions, the political excitement there ' being the alleged reason ; but the cotton trade of Black burn is very depressed, and if there were no " political excitement" many operatives would not be able to give money to aid the Preston hands. The legatesave resolved that 4s. per head should be given this week to all operative weavemon strike, whether they be in or out of the Union. A meeting of delegates representing the card-room opera tives has also been held in Preston. There were represen tatives from twenty distriets present. At the commencement of the proceedings the local secretary made a statement explanatory of the present dispute, and contended that the Preston card-room hands were now, without any further reduction, paid lower than operatives similarly em. played in 107 places in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. The delegates were very decided in their opinions as to the unfairness of the proposed reduction, and unanimously resolved "that all the districts in the association support by every legitimate means in their power the card-room hands of Preston when they come out on strike, by putting on levies and making subscriptions; he card-rooms of all the mills iu Lancashire." The practice of advertising by stencilling on the,. foot pavements and parish posts, &c., in Wandsworth end Clapham has become such a nuisance that the District Board of Works has found it necessary (sags the South London Pre. -- s) to undertake the prosecution of one person caught in the act, as a warning to others. THE SOUTH WARWICKSIIIRE ELECTION PETI TION.—The petition, against the retarn of Mr. John Hardy, one of the Conservative members f,ur South Warwickshire, will be tried at the Shire Hall, Warwick, on the sth May, and subsequent days. It is not yet • known which of the judges will try the petition, but it is surmised it will be taken by Mr. Baron Martin, as Mr. Justice Blackburn will be engaged with the Stafford petitions. The petition, which is presented by four Leamington tradesmen, alleges that Mr. Hardy, by himself and others on his behalf, was guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence, whereby he is incapacitated to serve in Parliament, and therefore that the election is null and void.
