UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABL M, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfregnently 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 Unchallongeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in tho event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miutns, the A....surance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cial 4 commend itself, beine. ' 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 mole in payment of the premium. a fixed stun in respect of every in emiuni paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually pail may bear to the whole num.ber 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 retsin 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 versionarv, of a Policy of this description. Every policy issued on this plan will be withou t t 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 hugest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, es shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this el tss 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. Its only ueeessary to add that, a 4 :1 consequence of the policies under these tAbles helng, unfiirf.:tal . oo and uncon ditional, they will No be michallengoalLi on any Rrmnd whatever. They may therefore ba aptly termed Absolute Security The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses au ineome of £215.000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains tho lamest amount of new 'isi:Jens of any 0f11,.!s hi the Kingdom.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thrt the neat bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same, The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Firo 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. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by-- viz., £134.811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate Of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. Bd,,.derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on now assurances are £14,596 is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are 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 upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslust absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR.

THOMAS - ALLEN 1 11ENRy ROSE,if Auditors. The present dispositionof the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 Rs. 3d. The direction of tho company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

William 11. Mumler has been tried on a charge of swindling, and New York has had another sensa tional episode in Court. Mueller is a spirit-photo grapher, who professes to take likenesses of those who have departed this life, and drove so lucrative a trade thereby, that the police deemed it necessary to arrest him and charge him with obtaining money under false pretences. He professed to take the photographs of the living, while the shadowy ghost of the departed could be traced on the picture. Specimens were hailed into court, which gave widows midi their hushanis' app %thine bellied them ; mothers with their children on their knees ; and Arr. elanaler boldly asserted, and then brought witnesses to swear, tint the impressions 7 7.'re from genuine spirits. iNfueli evidence teas taken to prove that in the features could be traced the lioe.a men ts of the spirits they professed to represent. There was no mistake as regarded the spectres, for they ap pease lon the photograph ; the mystery was, how ? On the 26th April the defence obtained leave to re-open their case in order to examine another witness, when the prosecution submitted testimony, which proved that the spirit photographs could be taken by means of a double negative. Of the num ber handed into Court in testimony a witness se lected ten as thus taken ; but the others he attri buted to a different process, though all could be produced by mechanical means. Desirous of ex posing the trick he offered Mumler $5OO to inspect his process, but no opportunity was afforded him. Mr. 0. G. Mason, Secretary of the Photographic branch of the American Institute, had examined these photographs, and was certain they were the result of scientific processes. He described how it was done, and said he could take them as well as Mumler. Ile also specified, some half dozen dif ferent wayssof - procuring the pictures. There are three means by which the ghosts can be worked — by a lens introduced into the camera ; by the im position of a positive plate upon the negative ; and the transmission of light through it in the bath. On the 28th another crowd assembled, when the fourth day's proceedings commenced. Abraham Bogardus, a photographer for nearly 23 years, was connect al with an association for putting down humbegl of the trade, of which Manlier was not a member. Ile counted the processes by which spirit photographs could be taken by scores ; he could take a man with an angel over his head, or with a pair of horns on his head. just as heev:shei. The witness went on to describe some of these processes. "They are made by taking a plate and coating it in the nal d way, having au impression taken by any camera out of reach or sight of the sitter, an I then putting the plate back into the coating bath, it might be left there as Ion; as you like, and when a sitter comes it can be used, and the first impression will appear with the figure of the sitter ; this is easily done ; i referring to exhibition No. 20, for the i'eople, which a hand of the shadowy figure is represented as placed in the hair of the sitter, the witness seiel that effect was easily proluced, and by a little manoeavering the arm might be made to encircle the waist; numbers 21. and 22 are made from sit ters ; the first is taken from a copy ; in taking these pictures, we first take a dim impression from sitters prepared for that purpose, sometimes from a lady dressed in white an I veiled over, an 1 this im pression might be preserved fer almost aey length of time ; I could take thenr less distinct ; that can be done by not having a proper focus ; the mere the figure is out of the focue, the more indistinct the picture; when the focal is perfect the minia ture is perfect, such as the eyebrows, &e. ; the re cognition of the spirit likenesses depends upon the imagination of the person sitting. I have known persons to came into my gallery and require a por trait of Henry Clay as General Jackson ; I have seen a perfect picture taken, and heard four or five relatives standing by say there was no likenes 3 what ever. I have also known persons to come in an.l want to purchase a portrait of a child, believing it to be that of one of their children, when I have known it hes been taken from some one else. N 24 (pro:heel) was taken yesterday from P. Btrnutn, Esq. ; in Noa. 21 and 13 for the defence, the so-called spirits could not have been in fro iti of - the camera. No. 13 is_ evidently a copy from an old picture, and, I believe, was made by the proc ss have described. If the camera was good for any thing, the focus would have reached the picture had it been in front. No. 21, for the defence (the Livermore picture), is, to speak, emphatically, a transparent lie on its face, the shadow on the sitter being on one side, the shadow of the spirit on the other ; it shows that the two pictures must have been taken at different times. No. 22, for The People, is taken by the process I have described." Having assented, in reply to a question, that he was a believer in the Bible, the counsel, Mr. Townsend, read from the 2d to the last verse of the 29th chap ter of Ist Samuel, asking the witness at the con clusion if he believed the spirit alluded to therein had language and appearance. But such questions not being permitted, he offered, as showing spirit appearances, the 10th chap. Genesis, 6th ta 9th verse ; 19L1i chip. Genesis, from let to 27th verse, 17th chap. and 10th verse ; 22d chap. 10th to 19th verse; Numbers, 22d chap. and 35th verse; sth Joshua, 13th to 15th verse ; 6th chap. Judges, 11 to 23 ; 13th chap. Judges, 2 to 22 ; 28th chap. let Samuel, 31 to 17th verse ; 19th chap. Ist, from sth to Bth verse ; Ist chap. Ezra ; 27th chap. Matthew, 52d to 54th verse ; 28th Matthew, Ist to Bth verse ; the 12th chap. Acts of the Aposth.s, 9 to 11 ; 10th chap. Acts of the Apostles, Ist to sth ; 15th chap. Corinthians, 44th verse. The photographer, how ever, obstinately adhered to his statement that no likeness could be taken of a person after death with out a copy. Mr. Barnum, of all men, was then examined, touching a certain correspondence some years ago when Mr. Barnum was about to write a book representing the humbugs of the world, he had told Mr. Mumler of his desire to purchase speci mens of his spirit-photographs for the museum, the humbug of which he was going to expose. For several years the photographs, for which he then gave two dollars a-piece, were on the walls of the museum ; the spirits of Napoleon I. and Henry Clay being among them, exact like nesses of the well-known engravings. The chapter in his book, " Humbug of the World" on Spirit photographs, referred to Mumler. lie went ou the previous day toMr. Bogardus' Gallery, and was taken with the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Cross examination elicited the following replies :—•‘ I have never been in any humbug business, where I did not give value for the money ; these spirit photographs were labelled humbug' on the walls of my Museum; the woolly horse was a remarkable reality and curiosity; it was exactly what I repro tented it to be, having a peculiar form and curled hair; it was exactly a woolly horse ; it was not a horse ' wooled over ;' the horse was • born' exactly as he was when exhibited in my Musem, and there was nothing artificial about him. The mermaid, at the time I exhibited it, was re presented to the public to be precisely as it was represented to me. I never bad reason to doubt that it was what I represented it to be.
