In the opinion of those who ought to know, it is calculated that in five years from the present time there will have arisen upon the spot,•now containing but the few buildings before referred to, a city of at least 50,000 inhabitants ; and, judging from the contents of the following " Monthly Circular, No. 3," issued by the three months old banking house, the prophecy is likely to be fulfilled. This establishment will cer tainly always have the right to be called the first banking house in the city of Duluth; and, as an example of energy and enterprise, is unrivalled in OUP experience of American go-aheadativeness.

BURNABY, Hon Sec Rectory Wapping E' A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Ex FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King- street, St. James's. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfroquently urged by persons invited to as sure,. that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opimondefective 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, i n; no 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 ially 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will en pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ng 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 ono 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 holding 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 belly , ' ' unforfeitablo 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. SPEC IAL .A.alinslTS WARTED . . HENRY lIARBEN, Secretary.

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 for 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 8,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them.

Those of the " fish-tail" sort aro wasteful. Yei with cannel gas they give better results than the argands. The kind of gas should therefore be considered, and the form of burner adapted thereto. One kind of bat's wing burner gives an illuminating power of 99 —while the best fish-tail with the same gas gives only 89. The result is an enormous waste of gas, because this description of burner is that most commonly in use. An American paper says, " A machine for dig ging potatoes has been recently forwarded from New Jer sey to Mr. N. T. Smith of West Spring field, for exhibition at the Hampden cattle show and fair, in answer to the call for a show of agricultural implements. If there is any branch of farming harder than an other it is digging pota toes by hand. Machinery has been very tardy in helping the potato digger, but now this slavish link is broken, and the work can be done as easily as riding on a mowing ma; chine or a hay tedder. Doubtless there are many good things in store for the farmer, but it will be many a day before a greater boon comes than this."

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 both institutions.

Lion of their permanent elevators on Minnesota Point. The dredging of the harbour on the bay side of the main channel to be commenced immediately, and the con struction of the breakwater for the outer harbour on the lake as soon as practicable. Large amounts of additional land and water front have been secured by the Railroad Company on the Lake and Bay side of Minnesota Point, for the purpose of affording adequate facilities to the Northern Pacific Railroad should they decide to make Duluth their terminus. The Railroad Company have made arrangements with the contractors at this end of the line, by which the construction will hereafter be under their control, and will increase the force to 1,500 men, with the determination to finish the road to Fond-du-lac by the let of November next. Two locomotives and iron for fifty miles of track will be delivered here before the close of navigation. From the energy and determination displayed there is every reason to expect the road to be finished by June 1, 1870. This decided action on the part of the rail road officials has given great impetus to real estate opera tions, and has had an immediate effect upon the prices of property throughout the town. Lots on West Superior street have advanced from $5OO to $1,500 each, and heavy sales have been made. Some forty lots in various localities have been sold during the past week at advanced rates, nearly all with building conditious. Telegraph poles are set to within a shoat distance of town, and the wires will bo ready for business during the month of Septa mber Since our last circular forty houses have been erected. The Episcopal Church has been enclosed, and will bo ready for occupancy during the fall and winter. The largo hotel, which will accommodate 200 guests, is rapidly ap proaching completion. The second hotel, the Bay-View House, is progressing, and will be finished during Septem ber. Several substantial stores are under contract, and appearances now indicate that a large number of buildings will be erected this fall. Mechanics of all kinds are in great demand, and command from $3.00 to $5.00 per day. Common labourers from $2.00 to $2.50. Oar merchants are all doing a good cash business. The disbursing of over $lOO,OOO per month, mostly for labour, by the railroad company and individuals, makes money quite plenty. Two lots on Superior-street, corner of Third-avenue East, sold last week for $4,700 cash, $2,350 each. This is the highest price lots have yet reached. Wo quote lots on Superior-street at froinsl t 2oo to $2,000 each. First -- treet, $ 6OO to Sl,lOO. becoad - street, $4OO to $BOO. Third-street, $350 to sooo. Fourth and Fifth streets, $2OO to $4OO.

The Lake Superior and Mississippi Railway has re ceived a large grant of land from the United States Government and the State of Minnesota—in all some 2,000,000 acres ; and arrangements are to be made this winter with the representative in London of the railway and land interest in Minnesota to give every facility, upon the opening of spring, to ntendingem igrants of every degree. IHE AMERICAN PRESS. The Philadelphia Public Ledger observes, on the return to business : - - - "The places of public resort are full; the schools are in full operation, and the clergy have something better than meagre congregations. On the whole, we are sure that the busiest seasons of the year are decidedly the plea santest. Nothing is better as a conducive to self-congra tulation than the consciousness that you are doing some thing, and making daily progress. There is no more in tolerable condition than that of him who has nothing to do ; no spur to exertion, and no hope that yourself or any body else will be the gainer by your efforts. Of all slow but sure diseases ennui is most fatal to mind, morals, and body. Practical people have added, during their vacation, to their mental resources as well as their bodily health. They know more, as well as feel better. Many of our prominent legislators and statesmen have been circulating over their own and over foreign countries, during the summer recess, and will be all the readier to act understandingly, whether officially or as amateurs. The West has- received due attention. Alaska has been visited by Mr. Seward, whose pet is that debated acquisition ; and several members of Congress have done California and the Pacific Railroad. The President has made himself almost as familiar in a peace campaign with the North as he was with the South, and has visited places which never saw a live President before. We have often taken occasion to say that per sonal knowledge of our own country is one of the most useful acquisitions that any man can make, whether his sphere be public or private. We hope the custom of home travel will grow. It should be every man's care, before he crosses the ocean as a tourist, to be ready to answer questions and impart information concerning his own land. The tide of foreign travel is turning hitherward. If American travellers do not bestir themselves intelligent foreigners will soon know more of the United States, in their length and breadth, than we know ourselves. Many competent observers have been making tours through the land during the summer ; and some of them with an eye to business. We must take care that they do not sup plant us in our own homes by superior knowledge of our own land." The Philadelphia Ledger epitomizes the letter of a Tennessee correspondent, having access to official sources, who writes from Knoxville, dated 16th Sept., about the State debt. He puts down the present amount at $40,000,000, having within a few years increased to that enormous sum from $16,000,000. The annual inte rest is $2,400,000, the State expenses $900,000, making up the sum yearly to $3,300,000. The whole revenue for 1868 was $1,205;544, with estimated receipts from rail roads of $877,642, making a total of $2,083,186, which leaves a deficit of $1,216,814. Now this is not what can be called an encouraging state of things, and the simple minded Tennesseean recurs to the remedy which most for cibly suggests itself to his imagination—repudiation. Nor is the simple-minded Tennesseean without some form of justification. Governor Brownlow, whose administration was simply hateful to the mass of the people, created the greater portion 'without their consent, indeed against it, for the money was spent to keep on foot militia through whom _he ruled. There aro bonds, also, for which no ono appears to be responsible, against whose issue many of the citizens allege impropriety and fraud, together with the fact that incapable and reckless men were intrusted, against the citizens' consent, with their affairs ; hence they are not morally or legally bound to increase taxa tion in order to pay. The Ledger says—" However fal lacious this reasoning, and however unlikely that re pudiation will follow, it is still a point touching the State credit, and may account for the depression of the prices of the bonds. But it applies only to the new bonds, amount ing to some twenty millions." Although, it argues, its cor respondent may be right in alleging that the State can not bo sued, it dues not believe that any State in the Uniori will so dishonour itself, and shame the nation. "It has also been held that bondholders had a lien upon the railroads, in aid of which the bonds were issued. It is now admitted that the Stale has a lien upon these roads, but it is doubted whether the holders of the bonds can be substituted for the lion of the State. The bonds contain nothing on their face which would warrant any such a claim on the part of the holder. These securities are taken upon the credit of the State, and aro not bought with any promise on their face, or in any other way, that they are secured by liens upon any railroad." We are bound, however, to add that these are the latest New York quotations :—" Southern and Border State Bonds are generally strong, especially Tonnossees and Georgia."
