A SECURITY POLICIES, UN - POREEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN OFALLENGEABLIA, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANtE COMPANY, *67; LudgateThill, 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 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 plemium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 bolding 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 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 HARBEN, Secretary.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the Directo - s. presented at the Annual General Meeting hold on the 2711 t 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 £100,813, 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, where the age does not exceed 60, 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 ago, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be 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 CUT( ILIPPE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London. S.W.

The home at Great Portland-street is for young fallen girls from 10 to 16. The committee ate deeply anxious to open another house for this pitiable class. The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli cants whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

A Coniraii.: sion is to meet and consider both the draft contract between the East of France and the Luxemburg companies; and. also the general industrial relations between France and Belgium. The intervention of England in this question, after being asserted by the official journals of Brussels and Paris, is now the subject of dispute. But though there was no direct interference, the correspondent of the Standard says it is "no secret that in the pourparlas exchanged at London between Lord Clarendon and certain foreign representatives, at Brussels and at Paris between our ambassador and the Belgian and French Ministers for Foreign Affairs, the English Government displayed much • tact and also a con ciliatory spirit which cannot be construed, far from it, either es apathetic to Belgium or descending to the peace.at-any-price section of our Cabinet." The same writer rays that it is a f'ct that Queen Victoria wrote an auto graph letter to the Emperor Napoleon and to King Leopold 11., when that difference threatened to assume more serious proportions, owing to the insults end menaces hurled at Belgium by the semi-official papers of Paris. The Post is in a position to state that the commission 11 i:1 open at Paris in a few days, and that 31. Fe:re-Orb= will. attend it in person. THE srAxisir TIMONE. The news of the day from Spain is the announcement of anothcr movement amongst candidates for the Spanish Throne. 'lhe Im• arcial of Madrid states that Dorn Fer nando has again b:en br ughtforwar,l, and that his refusal to accept the crown will:very probablyb.l ove co e. Ne gotiations respecting his candidature are going on between Spain, Portugal, France, and England. The Liberte, on the other hand, announces that the Duke of Montpensier hag retired, and Prince Napoleon has now the best chance of success. It is reported that he has consented to "stand." Nothing is said as to the cause of the Duke's retirement, and for the present, therefore, both these statements must be accepted with reserve. PORTUGAL. The situation at Lisbon becomes worse and worse. The finsacial difficulties of tbe naticarbave given rise to other -- difficulties of every description. The work of govern ment, in fact, has become so difficult that the King has had recourse to the desperate expedient of reducing the number of deputies in the National Assembly, and has signed a decree for that purpose. This is a very grave step in opposition to popular wishes. END OF THE FAMINE IN INDIA. The Indian Government has withdrawn the appeal to the public for contributions in aid of the sufferers from famine. The danger is at an end. Whilst it existed, how. ever, it was energetically met. Some of the . native rulers made most praiseworthy efforts to alleviate the suffering around them, the local and central committees disbursed large sums, and £lO,OOO had already been realised by private. subscriptions when the appea' was withdrawn. The weight of the dis' ress has di a p are 1 from all but one or two districts, and for these the funds already in hand will suffice. The people who migrated from Rajpootana to the north-west, are returning. But, though the peril is now happily past, the rain did not come a day too soon. The sufferings of the natives in the afflicted districts were very severe, the loss of cattle enormous. In fact, so complete is the disappear. ance of beasts of. burden, that the loss of the only motive power known in the country becomes a serious considera tion. FRESH TROUBLE IN AFFGHANISTAL Shere Ali has not secured peace and quietude by h7s late victory. A son of the ex •Ameer of Affghanistan bas been raising forces in Turkestan, and, owing to the remissness of Shere Ali's officers, has seized one or two important posts. Abdool Rahman, who lost the late battle, has gone to Turkestan to assist in this fresh outbreak of war. As Shere Ali, however, has the prestige of N ict ry, l:esides British gold and influence, on his side, the Times of India thinks that no serious consequences need be apprehended. It is evident that our gold and influence are likely to find ample employment. OPERATIONS IN CHINA. The outrage upon the crew of S.M.S. Cockchafer, has been " satisfactorily " settled. Four hundred and fifty men of the Rinaldo went down to Swatow, burned two ♦illages, killed and wounded a few Chinese, and then redress was given. Another small missionary difficulty at Foochow was temporarily settled by the arrival of a gun• boat and the shooting of one Chinaman. Aff,irs, however, have since assumed a serious aspect, the native population are greatly excited, and notic:s have been roted on the walls calling upon the people to expel the Europeans. GOLD IN SOUTH AFRICA. Diggers who contemplate seeking wealth in the gold mines of South Africa bad better wait until more definite information arrives. There is plenty of pro3pcct that gold is to be found in South Africa, but hitherto very little has been secured. The precious metal has been found in several places, but not in remuneiative quOntities. Some Australian diggers have given their opinion that rich deposits exist. More than this cannot be said at present. AUSTRALIA. The Government of Victoria have invited teiu'e:s for a monthly mail and passenger service vid the Cape of Good Hope. This route is much preferable to the Cape Horn track which has been hitherto followed. Indeed the perils and discomforts of the latter voyage have resulted in the almcst total cessation of voluntary emigra tion to Australia. Emigrants are sore'y wanted in the colony, and the authorities hope by the establishment of a rapid monthly mail service to give a fresh impetus to a movement which is now in such a languishing condition. A BATTLE IN CUBA. The last engagement in Cuba was unque,tionably .the most severe that has yet taken place, but the details given by the authorities are very suspicious. The Government accounts state that a force of Spaniards, under General Lases., marching towards Puerto Principe, was confronted by an army of 4,000 insurgents in an entrenched position. " A cannonade was begun on the works, after which a column of 1,500 troops stormed them at the point of the bayonet. Both sides fought with vigour. The Spanish lose is reported at 31 killed and 80 wounded, the rebel loss at 1,000." It is difficult to swallow this story. Previous experience of Spanish war bulletins is not such as to lead to confidence in an account of 1,500 men storming an en trenched position defended by 4,000, inflicting a loss of 1,000, and suffering less than one-tenth of that number. But the battle seems to have been of great importance, and the Government claims the victory. In some minor affairs the insuraents have had the advantage. A HINT TO THE ROW. Our publishers would do well to send out repre sentatives empowered to arrange with the English men whom Lopez has kept with him all through the war, for a narrative of the struggle. It has been one of the most remarkable in the history of the world. Paraguay has been almost depopulated ' • yet Loper, at the latest advices, still held out with .a few hundred followers. lis cities have been taken, his armies destroyed, but he has not surrendered, and the probability is that he will at the last ex tremity follow the example of Theodore. The defence has been heroic and tragical to the last degree, and if Messrs. Valpy, Burrell, Twite, and Skinner, who are still compelled to share the President's waning for tunes, and to fight in a cause with which they have no sympathy, cannot, with the aid of the experienced litterateurs who work for the Row, bring out a most " thrilling " narrative, our publishers had better retire from business. SOUTH LONDON INDUSTRIA EXHIBITION. The South London Industrial Exhibition was closed on Saturday, when Sir Digby Wyatt, Mr. S. C. Hall, Mr. Passmore Edwards, and many others were present. Forty-two thousand persons - have visited it on payment, the receipts being £3GO, and expenses about -.C200, so that the under taking may fairly be considered a success. Its promoters are opposed to the opening of museums and scientific exhibitions on Sundays, and advocate instead the opening of the national institutions on week-day evenings. Resolutions were passed at tho closing meeting, advising future exhibitors to seek to excel in their own departments of labour, to copy the best models, and use as far as possible the best materials and tools. The surplus funds are to be devoted to prizes and medals. THEATRICALS.—Mr. H. L. Bateman will shortly come to England, where he proposes to pass a season of needed repose. Miss Bateman will come back with him to New York, in the early autumn. Mr. Tom. Taylor is writing a new piece for that lady. At Fisk's Opera House Mr J. L. Toole and Miss Amy Sedgwick are expected from England, and it is likely that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Matthews will visit the United States, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul. Mr. Edwin Forrest recently ro fused a New Orleans engagement, because one of the condi tions was that he should play on Sunday night. The Spirit says, "Miss Kellogg's reception et the Academy of Music was as enthusiastic as her personal friends could desire, and as sincere as her artistic admirers could demand. Her performance of Margaret, in "Faust," was truthful, deli cate, and graceful as ever, if we except the absence of the tender simplicity which in former years characterized her manner. During her European visit Miss Kellogg ac quired one quality which is not to her advantage—that of overstrained artifice. But though less natural as an ac tress, she is cert a i n ly no t l ess c h arm i n g as a singer, and she remains the best representative of Gounod's heroine that we hav e h a d, an d w ill s o continue to remain until Nilsson shall appear to dispute her supremacy. It w ill be a close question even then. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, pare the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
