A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- C 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, 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, 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 pentium paid, bcaring the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually.paid niay 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 assurauces. Creditors assuring, the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likew:se 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-luzpectton, tht,.xaet value, either immediate or re versionary. of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be witliciut any conditions as to voyaeing, 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 actin] securities. In ad( Lion 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 cliss 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 bolng 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.

DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. 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 tho 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. Tho Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906.

QA96I-otroOt cheoßdatf e_'i-ez,l-Y FOREIGN NOTES. fdA2ZM Amongst the many great qualities by which Mazzini bag attracted a party to himself in Italy, courage of the highest order is undoubtedly one. The Rome correspon dent of the Tablet says that all attempts to arrest the revolutionary leader have been baffled by his wonderful coolness. One instance is particularly striking. A Piedmontese police-officer was sent in command of a section of police in Charles Albert's time to arrest him, and every indication of the house wasgiven. He was known to be in it, and it was so surrounded that there was no escape. The police entered, and on asking the old woman who opened the door where her master was, she said lie was in the study, writing. They went all over the house, and found paper and pens, and the ink wet on a freshly. written sheet, but no Mazziui. At last they withdrew. Three days later they knew that Mazzini himself, as his own housekeeper, had opened the door! In the year of Aspromonte he passed twice through Ancona, disguised as a Franciscan going and returning from the Holy Land, and he has been in Florence, there is little doubt, within tho last two years. REPUBLICANIS3I RouArANTA. The agitation of the Mazzinians has not been confined to Italy alone. A letter from Bucharest, in the Debats, says it is certain that the most fanatical of the Italian revolutionists kept up intimate relations with those of the Balkan region. Last year a project was formed to esta blish a regular Mazzinian colony at Bucharest, to serve as headquarters for insurrectional attempts throughout the North of the Turkish dominions. The scheme was supported by Bratiano, late the Prime Minister of Roumania, and it was frustrated by his sudden removal from power. Proclamations urging the people of th e East, Roumanians, Servians, Bulgarians, Ste., to 'ris e against the Porte emanated from Mazzini, and bore his sig. nature. So long as Bratiano and his friends remained in power, they not only covered these proceedings with their name and their authority, but they even lent their direct assistance. The present Ministry is strongly opposed to all agitation. TILE ITALIAN MINISTRY. General Menabrea has resigned, and is about tofrecon. stitute his Cabinet, of which Signor Ferraris will be a member, and which will henceforth receive the support of the Piedmontese deputies. This change, which we an. nounced some days ago, is highly 'important. Ever since the seat of the Italian capital was transferred from Turin to Florence the Piedmontese deputies have held aloof from the Government, and have voted invariably with the Opposition of all shades, though holding very dissimilar political opinions. This state of things will now come to an end. The wandsXing Pied montese sheep will return to the Ministerial fold, and the Government will now have the complete command of the Chamber—too much so, perhaps. NINE SEATS AND ELEVEN HUNDRED CANDIDATES. Paris is divided into nine circumscriptions or boroughs, each returning one member to the Corps Ldgislatif. For these nine seats there are now, says the correspondent of the Daily .News, about eleven hundred candidates ! The statement appears extravagant, absurd, and inexplicable, until explained. A very remarkable illustration of politics under the Second Empire the explanation is. It is enacted that no person can be. come a candidate for the Corps Legislatif without first taking the oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and no voter can attend a public electoral meeting except in his own circumscription, unless he be a candidate. The Republicans of Paris therefore take the oath, and become candidates en inane for circumscriptions in which they do not reside. An elector of circumscrip tion No. 1 is not eligible to attend an electoral meeting in any district of Paris other than his own, but if he declares himself a candidate for circumscription (say) No. 3, and sends in his oath, which costs nothing, he has a legal right to go to all electoral meetings there, and the Government cannot stop him without violating its own " charter and the city's freedom." Hence this wholesale multiplication of candidates, only two or three dozen of whom expect to receive a vote, or, indeed, to be heard of in the political world. HUNGARY. The Hungarian kingdom has made great progress, political and social, during the last three years ; but one thing seems to have been wanting to complete the happi• ness of the Magyars —a State lottery. This has just been provided by an Imperial decree, which attaches only the condition that the net produce of the first drawing shall be devoted to the purchase of objects necessary to primary instruction in village schools. An express provision is made that in the distribution no account is to be taken o the nationality or creed of the pupils. THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. The state of the unhappy Princess Charlotte, wife of the Emperor Maximilian—always a matter of interest— is the subject of a gloomy bulletin from the Vienna cor respondent of the Literte. He says the intelligence has been received by the Austrian Emperor that the insanity of the Princess becomes day by day more hopeless. The periods of lucidity aro less frequent, and the wolat moments of the poor lady more and more alarming. THE BRINDLSI OVERLAND nouTz. The representatives of Governments and railway COM. panics interested in the overland route to India by Brin• disi have held conferences for some time past at Munich and Stuttgard. 'J'he Railway ilcws says that, as the result of the deliberations, it is now proposed to run a train daily to and from Ostend end Brindisi. The train will be in communication with the 7.25 a.m. train from London and the 2.45 p.m. train from Ostend. The whole distance from London to Verona by this train will be run in 54 hours. A special weekly train to meet the Indian mail at Alexandria will leave Verona on Saturday. Alexandria will be reached at the same time as by the steamer from Marseilles on Friday. The sea voyage will thus be lessened by seventy hours, and the net gain will be twelve hours, SPAIN WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT, The Impartial, of Madrid, which speaki with some authority, says that the question of a regency is again under consideration amongst the revolutionary leaders. The Regency—probably the Impartial means Directory— will be formed of Prim, Serrano, and Olozaga, Prim to retain his portfolio as Minister of War, and p take the. Presidency of the Council. In short, Prim by thiaarrange•' went would become King of Spain. SOUTH LONDON INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—Last week Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., distributed the prizes and certificates in connection with th:3 Third South Lon don Working Classes' Industrial Exhibition. Mr. Joseph Moore, of Birmingham, prepared the medals, and Mr. John Brand, of Hatfield-street, London, the illuminated certificates. The number of visitors to the Exhibition was £14,543, paying £373 .14s. 10d. The total receipts amounted to £439 19s. Bd., and the expenditure kit a balance towards the prizes (which would cost something over £100), of £l9 ss. sd. General Burnside contradicts in a letter to the Tribune the statement of one of its correspondents, reflect ing on the courage of Mr. Goddard, as displayed in the battle of Bull Run. Both he and lieutenant, uow General, Sisson, had an altercation in the field, as to who was to command a company of, sharpshooters of the First R. I. Regiment, but they had both displayed great gallantry. NEW PLAN OF LIGHTING THE STREETS BY ELECTRICITY.—Mr. William Wheeler has sent in a com munication to the Board of Aldermen of New York, rela tive to the lighting and extinguishing the street lamps by electricity, by wires connecting them with each other, and operated on by batteries placed at different points. The method is the same as that used in lighting the dome of the Capitol and the Halls of Congress at 'Washington, Mr. Stewart's new store, the picture gallery of his new house on Fifth-dvenue,and,we believe, Booth'sTbeatre. Mr. Wheeler claims that the whole expense of laying the wires, erect ing the batteries, and lighting the city, will be saved and paid for in a few years, at the present cost of simply light ing the lamps. He estimates that, in 20 years, the saving to the city will be $1,000,000. By the pmposed arrange ment, if any lamp should be extinguished accidentally, it will immedately relight itself. in addition to the proposed electrical lighting, the wires can be used for telegraphic purposes, and a complete system of underground telegra phic communication with every part of the city can be arranged. The subject was referred to a special committee, composed of Aldermen Moore, Cuddy, and Farley.—New York Tribune. —An extensive German settlement has sprung up near Frederick Hall, Buckeer's and Bumpass's Sta tions, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, about forty five miles from Richmond. The following sales have been made within a few months : -465 (of John M. Cook's) to Emil Henkenias from Saxony , for $5,275 ; 360 acres (of Dr. B. M.. Buckner's) to Fred.
