A BSOLITTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN CI- 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 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, 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 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 holding policies of this cllss 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 Ire 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 he unchaliengeable 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 now business of any office in the Kingdom.

While all persons who knew the real caus's of these attacks wore all aware that they were without foundation and only vindictive, it cannot be denied that they were a source of grave embarrassment and difficulty. There is nothing so sensitive as credit ; it may receive almost as great a temporary injury from false rumours as from damaging statements of fact. The natural result of these assaults upon the company's credit was the arrest of the public sale of its securities, and a threatened danger of stopp7ng the work, when two millions a month were required to continue it. It was fortunate for the country, as well as yourselves, that you bad the ability, as well as the courage, to advance the millions from your private in ans that were required to finish the ro .d. I beli ye that no private corporation ever before made so large a call, or one that was more promptly responded to. Tito work upon ties lino was continued during the winter at a very heavy extra cast, but nearly all the obligations incurre 1 have now been adju4e.l. The 850 miles of road we -t of o.nale, whiet was bui:t befere lest winter's fro -t, is adm 7 tted to be in splen!lid corertion, equal to :ley in the country, and the ten abler will be in the same tine order, as soon as actual , erviee bi iegs .he road-bed to the same solidity. The earnings of the road since its opening have been— Front May 10 to May 31 Front June 1 to June 30 706,602 29 From July Ito July 31... .... 623,1'69 96 Notwitli-tanding the rates for passengers and freights have been largely reduced, the earnings for August will stand at about the same figures as for July. With all the disad vantages attending the opening of the road, the average earnings so far have been at the rate of about eight millions a year, which will b 3 steadily augmented by the develop ment of the Pacific Coast, and by settlement along the line. The company own over 3,003 000 acres of land in the Platte Valley, in Nebraska, which competent judges pro nounce equal to any in the West. The lands were offered for sale at Omaha, July 27, and 40,000 acres were sold in one month-thereafter, at an average of over $3 per acre. The company also own over 10,000,000 acres in addition, some of which is of little value, but there are portions from which a considerable sum will eventually be realized. Many portions of the Rocky Mountain and Wahsatch ranges abound in rich mineral ores—espcially copper— and the constantly increasing development of the mining interest will add largely to our business. Extensive coal mines are found along the track far 300 miles on the Western s'ope of the Rocky Mountains, for which there is already a good demand. You will perceive that the in come of the company is now ample to meet the interest on its first mortgage and land grant bonds, and we have every reason to expect that the natural growth of its business will soon give its stock a value that will make a suitable return for the risk you have taken in building the longest railroad line in the country, through a wilderness which most persons pronounced impassable for a locomotive.

RAILWAY NEWS.—There are fifty-six different railways in operation in the State of New York, the aggregate length of which is 3,053.95 miles, constructed and equipped at a cost of $208,185,782.
