ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, ITNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King- street, St. James's. 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 Unchallengoable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i it; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this cliss 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 bo 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 years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, E n p a o y n th w Araittto lj e t aLliw the fu ene it o e 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 unforfoitable and uncon ditional, they will also bo 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. NEATII AND BRECON RAILWAY COMPANY.

Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the QUEEN. Vice-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEITCH, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent fer support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the promises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ; Hcrries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co.; Smith, Payiw, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co.,:Berners-streot ; undat the Hospital from 10itill 5. An international system of money orders has been effected between the United States and Switzerland, through the instrumentality of Postmaster-General Cres well and Jacques Duks, Chief of the Federal Post Depart ment and Vice-president of the Swiss Federal Council. The exchange of postal orders between the two countries is to be effected through the agency of two post-offices, termed International Exchange Offices. The International Exchange Office on the part of the United States is New York, and that on the part of Switzerland is Bale. About one hundred and fifty of the largest money order post offices in America, designated for the purpose by the Postmaster-General, aro authorised to issue money orders on the Postmaster at New York, payable to beneficiaries in Switzerland, and to pay orders issued by that Postmas ter for sums remitted by the post department of Switzer land, for payment to beneficiaries in the United States. Hence, an international money order cannot be drawn by a postmaster in either country directly upon a postmaster in the other, but must be drawn upon the In ternational Exchange Office of the country in which the order is issued. An international postal order must not be drawn for a larger sum than fifty dollars in United States currency, and must not contain a fractional part of a cent. The fees for the issue of international postal . orders are the same as for domestic money orders, viz. : On orders not exceeding $2O, ten cents; over $2O, and not exceeding $3O, fifteen cents; over $3O, and not ex ceeding $4O, twenty cents; over $lO, and not exceeding $5O, twenty-five cents. No other currency than United States or National Bank notes can be received or paid. The general rules in regard to issuing domestic orders. contained in the book of money order instructions, aro to be observed in the issue of international postal orders, in so far as those rules are applicable. The usual forms are to be observed to secure the payment of sums for which the money orders have been lost. A man wbo owes a bill in London can pay it in four hours by simply going to Wall-street and purchasing a document known as a "cable transfer," a device born of the groat Atlantic telegraph enterprise, whereby the equivalent of the money which he gives in New York will be immediately delivered to his creditors in London. Mr. TALLACK'S letter on American prisons fairly describes the good and bad, and contrasts them with those of England. In America, as he says, there are the best and perhaps the worst of any in Christendom, and they may be sought where they may be expected to be found, the good, in old Puri ; tan Massachusetts, and the bail in the Empire State, surcharged with the dregs of European emigration. Recently there has been a discussion at Albany bAween the Prison Association and the authorities of the State prisons. Mr. TALLACK alludes to the shower bath, buck, and yoke as punishments still in force in the State prisons of New York, but this is a mistake, as they were abolished by an Act passed last winter, to which the Inspectors ascribe the disorders now attracting general notice, more especially to Sing Sing. The practice of applying to the source of the evil for information may not be without its advantages when sagaciously acted on, but no source could be worse for eliciting the real truth, unless the evidence is weighed by skilful hands, and both sides fully beard. A legislative committee was directed to take evidence regarding a late serious revolt in Sing Sing, and the investi gation showed that more than 100 convicts were " shower-bathed" last year, which, instead of sup pressing outbreaks, the committee considered to have been their principal cause, together with other barbarous punishments. Sing Sing has undeniably been in a deplorable state since the passage of the Act; but so it was before these punishments had been abolished, and the committee as a remedial measure proposed to the Legislature their abo lition. Yet the Inspectors at the meeting in Al bany ascribe the recent outbreaks to the passage of this law, and therefore strongly recommend its re peal, which is backed as we are given to understand by Governor HOFFMAN himself. The editor of the Naples and Florence Observer, in a long article in a late number on the prisons of Naples, informs his readers that from 1860 up to 1868 he was one of the regular visitors, and he describes the improve- ments in what were formerly supposed to be the worst prisons in the world. The torture inflicted has never equalled the proceedings in Sing Sing. The punishments in the Naples prisons, according to regulations, are six, the cells with bread and water, and the strait-waistcoat in cases of great vio lence, but no other torture is allowed, nor are these considered to be tortures, nor could any officer hope tointroduce any barbarity without detection. In the cells a decided improvement has taken place, as in 1860 they were so loathsome that a few days could scarcely fail to injure health. The strait-waistcoat is a kind of coffin, wherein is laid a straw mattress fitted across with two leather straps to tie down the victim. There were three of these; but they were evidently more designed for the treatment of the insane than for refractory persons. The prisons of Naples are condemned more from the unfitness of the buildings, which were intended for forts or ma gazines, than from any other cause. The criminals are intermixed and overcr3wded in edifices incap able of adaptation to the purpose. in S. Lazzaro there were 94 persons last February, where the fit tings were for 60 ; at the same time, in the Carmine, 600 were crammed into a space where only 400 should have been ; and the guardiano observed there was room for more ! In the Castel Capuano, dur ing the preceding month 864 convicts were packed like herrings, in rooms pronounced to be capable of holding only 500, confusion and uproar extending to the gates, and utterlyannihilating the means of clean liness. .The regulations prescribed changes of linen and baths, which the crowd rendered impossible, though light was freely admitted, while the food was good and sufficient. A commission had just reported on the prisons, and it observes that abuses exist which cannot easily be corrected, reform being expected only from the increased morality of the gaolers and diminished agglomeration of the prisoners. This is similar to the conclusion at which the Secretary of the Howard Association arrives, who evidently attributes, in no small degree, the condition of the New York State prisons to the immorality of the ..t,O gaolers. The Prison Law of 1847 imposes on Inspec ts the duty of erecting iu each of the New Y 9 ll, - State prisons, cells of not less than 996 cubic f ee t, for the imprisonment of each convict found incorrigibly disobedient; but though passed 22 years ago, it has never been acted on, although the late conference insisted on its urgent necessity. The great object of the regulation is to get out of the way the most vicious, which has always the effect of making the rest more tractable, and indulgences can be per mitted after those who would abuse them have been removed. Dr. GRISCOM proposed at this conference to lengthen the sentence for bad conduct, a plan Mr. HAYNES, of the Massachusetts State Prison, has all along advised. On one hand good conduct should shorten the sentence; on the other, bad con- duct should lengthen it. Mr. HAYNES, on public holidays, gives the whole body of the p r i soners un .. . . der his charge the broadest liberty for conversation and amusement in the prison yards ; and this, after years of trial, unsanctioned by law, was so approved by the Legislature that it received legal sanction, permission being extended to the prison authorities to increase these indulgences. Charleston prison esta- Wished four years ago winter courses of popular and - - - scientific lectures, and this has been done with the happiest effects ; indeed Mr. lIAyNEs asserts that his prisoners, to whom these indulgences are ex tended, work as well as ordinary men—a fact which Mr. TALLACK'S statement in our last issue of the profits of the prison fully bears out. There is an- other point established by the Charleston prison. The cld parti-coloured dress was discarded four years ago with the best results, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, as well as the Albany Penitentiary, following the example of Massachusetts. It is argued that on entering his prison the convict should be taught that he has a character to redeem, a future of usefulness to create, as well as to be made to be feel the disgrace of his crime and sentence. The National' Labour Congress objects to prison work, but on a principle as false as it is sel- fish. It seems impossible to instil into the minds of the delegates that the greater the useful production, the more is society benefited, themselves, in common with others, though there always must be exceptional cases of loss and suffering. If prisons could be made self-supporting, so much the better for the community as well as for the prisoners. The discipline in force in the military prisons of England, which makes the prisoners each carry a cannon ball a certain distance to be de- posited on the ground, then taken up and carried on by the man following, in an eternal round of useless labour, is radically unsound, breaking the heart of the men in work that can be of no possible good. The very essence of reform lies in instructing the convicts to be useful members of the community, and this sound principle is fundamentally violated by such discipline. NAVAL ITEMS.—The story circulated by a Havre paper of the mutiny on board the United States frigate Sabine was telegraphed to America, where it met little credence. The officers of the Navy considered it to be in the highest degree improbable that Captain Walker would exercise the arbitrary power of hanging seven of his sea men, considering that he had a full complement of officers, and probably a sufficient number of men not connected with the conspiracy to carry the prisoners to the United States. The Sabine has on board about GO midshipmen of the class which graduated last June and sailed from Boston early in July. Her officers are Commander John G. Walker, commanding; Lieutenant-Commander G. C. Ramey, Geo. P. Ryan, Wm. It. Bridgman, John H Bartlett, Philip H. Cooper, Theodore F. Jewell, and Charles J. Train; Sur genn George Peck, Passed Assistant-Surgeon Daniel Dl'Murtrie, Assistant-Surgeon Henry Stewart, Passed Assistant-Paymaster E. W. Whitehouse, Captain of Marines 11. B. Lowry. It is the intention of the Naval Department at Washington to reduce the number of vessels in the squadrons now in commission. The following their present strength : European Squadron, six vessels ; North Pacific, seven; North Atlantic, eight; Asiatic, nine; South Pacific, five ; South Atlantic, five ; special service, three—total, 43. One vessel from the South Pacific is now on her way home. The total force last year was 51 vessels, with four on special service. Admiral Porter and Com modore Alden, in consequence of Secretary Robeson's decision to abandon the completeness of his tour, were to return to Washington.
