To this cla- , s of the public the system now introduced will espP daily 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 Ealllo time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of tlna premium. a fixed sum in respect of every pletniutn 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 l'olicy 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 bo entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actird securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, or t e s the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest t e rm provided for is twenty-fit ve le :Sea t Tables. at.! k w e r s s h credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost aleo ' the fullnt they may be called benefit of the u pon to advance so a s to maintain held as collater al securit y . are A s surances —a matter of gdrdeatthat, a sa consequenceimportancewherepo o l f ic t i b es; It is only necessary to a atai,,n a l they will also be unchallen g eable on an y g round policies under the se tables being unf o rfeitable and uncoil whatever. a 110 Y Li"- , he aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. ses ses an income of £2IS,OO URANCE Its position is uno a year. tion'tble an d it obtains the largest amount of new The PRUDENTIAL ASS-.COMPANY pos clues b us i n e s s of any office in the Kingdom.

The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assuming, 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 band, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithtanding that its increase was retard epl by abatementq of premium which did not take diet 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 ore 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 cred . t. 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 lie assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. —Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

The Claims on decease of lives assured aro 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 management are less than those of last year by upwardsof £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by'the company.

The Berlin correspondent of the In defendance Belpf denies that the negotiations between England and North Germany for a reduced postal rate have failed because the Confederation fixed too high a figure. The English Post Office expects shortly to receive the Indian mail by Brim , disi instead of Marseilles, and in that case would require extra facilities for transmission through South Germany. But the Southern States demanded an indemnity which was thought excessively high by the English authorities. This is the reason why the negotiations have been broken off. The writer acids, however, that they will be resumed shortly. The question of the Brindisi route will be sub. witted to an International Conference. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. tVe have already noticed the publication in an Austrian paper of Count Bismarck's despatch to Count Goltz, dated July 20, 1866. There can be no doubt that the revelation of a document in which the Frussian Chancellor declares that King William insisted upon large annexations of German territory, and cared comparatively nailing for a Confederation, must have caused great annoyance at Berlin. The Liberti says that Count Bismarck is thoroughly exasperated, and has demanded explanations of Count Benst. But it appears that this despatch is not all: a worse revelation is to come. The Tagenpost, of Gratz, says that the Austrian Chancellor has now in his posses sion documents dated far back beyond the war of 1866, and proving that Prussia contemplated an alliance with Italy against Austria at the time when King William met the Emperor Francis Joseph at Gastein, shook him by the hand, and called him brother. How did the Austrians get these papers ? It is said that the telegraph wires were " milked "to get the July despatch, but this process could not have been applied before the war, otherwise Austria would have been on her guard. DEATH OF PRINCE lIENTSCHIKOFF. Prince Mentsehikoff, the Russian admiral who playa such an important part in the historyof the Crimean War, has just died. He was the grandson of the pati4aier who rose to the highest dignities of the Russian Empire under Peter the Great and Catherine. Ile was born in 1789, and entered diplomatic life as attaela; to the Embassy of Vienna. lie filled various posts up to 1853, in which year the Emperor Nicholas con fided to him the Turkish Embassy. The incidents of the negotiations relative to the Holy Sepulchre, the pre meditated insolence of Mentsehikoff, his ultimatum, and his departure—equivalent to a declaration of war—are familiar episodes in the history of that stirring time. The government of the Crimea was given to him, and the destruction of the Turisit fleet at Sinope may be attributed to the system of e,plowige by which every movement of the Turkish fleet %%as made known to him. lie was beaten at the Alma, sunk half the Russian fleet at the eatranco of Sebastopol, and declined a naval battle. His stubborn resistance increased his reputat:on, albeit he was regularly beaten. After the defeat of In ke'•tnann Mentschikoff fell ill, and in March 1855 was made Governor of Cronstadt. He was the recognised chief of the old Russian party, and the declared adversary of all reform. JEP.CSALEM PILGRIMS. The Gazette du Midi announces that the Marquis of Buto, with many other pilgrims,both English and French, arrived at Jerusalem in time for the Holy Week, which was spent with exemplary piety. The visitors to the Holy Sepulchre are very numerous this year. Americans are in specially great force, no less than 200 having been registered by the Consul at Jerusalem in the first three months of the year. But there appears to be very little of the pilgrim proper about any of these visitors, They go neither barefoot, nor with peas in their shoes. Some of them, indeed, have distinguished theta• selves by a display of ingenuity in devising means for the transport of creature comforts. The two hotels at Jeru salem were found insufficient for so many guests, and a third has been opened, fittel up in European style. JOBBERY IN NEW YORK. A living wonder is now to be seen in New York. A bight has fallen upon that great State in the shape of a Governor, (Mr. Hoffmann, Democrat), who, to the utter amazement of his own party, will not tolerate jobbery and public plunder, if he can help it. The Democrats thought they would reap a rich harvest, especially in New York City, in consequence of their success in carrying the State elections. They were mistaken. Numerous Democratic jobs have been pushed through the State Legislature, only to meet with the veto of the Governor. Most of these were grants of charters for laying down railways in the streets of New York city, and were worth immense sums. Sanction for all these schemes has to be obtained from the StateLegislature,which,likeCon gress, consists of two Houses. It is no secret that amajority in both Houses, including both Republicans and Democrats, is heavily bribed to pass these charters for street railways in favour of speculators. The competition is so notorious that members, says the correspondent of the Daily News, make no attempt to deny that they receive bribes as regularly as their official pay. One job is of special flag olgy-arlaikis R . charter conferring on the grantees a right guessed from the fact that Mr. A. Sfelit6vllervio lently opposes it, offers to pay three million dollart for it, if given to him, and to carry passengers over it at half the usual rates. But the State Legislature pays no attention to this offer. The charter has already got to the third reading in the Senate, and the bribed represen tatives of the people persist in giving the right of this tramway to a set of utterly unknown men. But jobbery has a powerful opponent in the Governor, whom the Democrats themselves elected. He has vetoed smaller tramway jobs, and he evinces an evident determination to do likewise with this great Broadway swindle. Nevertheless, the Daily News correspondent cannot en tertain much hope that the Governor will be able to stem the tide of corruption in New York State, and par ticularly in New York city. Municipal affairs are in the worst possible condition. The Sheriff of New York is a notorious rowdy, and has served six months in a penitentiary. He is a personal friend of a large number of roughs who fluctuate between villany and gaol. The deputy-sheriffs are all Irishmen, and mostly pugilists or ruffians of thelowest type. One of the sheriff's "friends" is now under sentence of death for the cowardly murder of a policeman in cold blood. Arrangements had been made for the execution, when proceedings were stayed by a writ of error. But had the sentence been carried out, the Sheriff's personal relations with the prisoner were such that he could not have been present, and he had provided a substitute. Almost every office under the city government is filled by Irishmen of low character. More than one judge of the Supreme Court is purchaseable by the highest bidder. Such are State affairs in New York. THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. A "formidable and well•organised expedition" to aid the insurgent Cubans is being prepared, according to the American papers, in the neighbourhood of New Orleans. Great numbers of men have been engaged and sworn to secrecy. Money seems to be plentiful. A quantity of brass howitzers has been purchased. General Steedman will probably be the leader. The Government cannot or will not take any measures to stop the movement, and no instructions can be obtained from Washington respecting it. The officials, indeed, openly hint that they will keep up appearances, but do little. And yet, if this expedition lands, it will amount to nothing short of an invasion of the Spanish colony. The latest accounts from the island are favourable to the Spaniards. TILE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The resistance of Lopez still lingers on ; and his latest operations, though they can have no effect upon the issue of the war, are decidedly in his favour. The engagement at the bridge of Yugay, though denied by the Brazilians, was a reality - . Lopez captured the whole of the picket stationed at tlic bridge. Nothing has since been heard of the prisoners. Another raid %vas made upon the town of Luque, which was taken before the Brazilians come up in fore,. The allied garrison NV:IS cAptured and , arriell off. Lopez is sail to have several thousand men. It is evident that if he has anything like a force he they give infinite trouble by this guerilla warfare.
