IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached.

We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabia' Food, of which he consumes a Illateful at every meal.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867 after deduction of this bonus--that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30n11 JUNE, 1868.

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 bo considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. _ The claims on decease of lives assured aro nearly iden- I 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 officeslast 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

September 1868. , * r 1 • THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The correspondent of the 7 lines, in his letter, re peats the name of GEORGE E. HOAR as GRANT'S Attorney-General, as telegraphed by him, a mistake which has thus been made. It was not till three o'clock p.m. m on the sth, the day on which the correspondent wrote from Philadelphia, that the names of the Cabinet Ministers transpired in Wash ington. The PRESIDENT despatched General RAWLINS ,to the Capitol with the sealed packet containing the appointments. He reached the Senate Chamber at one o'clock, where he bad to wait the return of the Committee appointed to in form the PRESIDENT that the assembly had orga nised. On their reporting the package was de livered, an Executive Session immediately com menced, when the Senators rushed to the Vice- President's desk to hear the names read. The re luctatt throng which had assembled to get the earliest information had to be driven from the gal leries, but ex-Senator CONNE-S saw the list in the hall before he retired. When in the lobby, being pressed by the reporters, divulged, and scarcely had the names p xss_!.l his lips when a rush took place for the wires; for 2)0 yarls, a spirited race en sue I for the lead; and it is not surprising, under the circumstances, that the wrong Christian names of one of two brothers should have reached Philadelphia. The correspondent had evidently written his letter before the Cabinet was announced, and he probably at once telegraphed the intelligence to Printing House-square, and then sat down to incorporate it in his letter; therefore this cannot be taken as a confirmation of what is simply an error arising from hurry. It is said that the PRESIDENT had first offered the portfolio of the Treasury to Mr. BOUTWELL, who, alleging his greater utility in his place in the House of Representatives, de clined it. The appointment of A. T. STEWART, who was ineligible under a law passed in 1798, was clearly a mistake. Being one of the largest im porters he could not with propriety be the Secre -tary of the Treasury, his interests must clash with those of the United States, which be represented in the office he then held, and Mr. SUMNER was right in objecting to the abolition of a law whereby a man might be placed in so false a position. Our latest intelligence from Washington, which is up to the Bth inst., shows that there was no chance of GRANT'S Message, recommending the repeal of the law, which barred STEWART'S acceptance of the Treasury, being concurred in by Congress. In fact, it instantly called forth a decisive opposition, and GRANT was advised that he would have to with draw it if he desired to avoid at starting such a check. He showed no signs of obstinacy, and Mr. STEWART, after ample consultation, de cided to resign. His last idea was very peculiar. He proposed, with the PRESIDENT'S sanction, to trans fer all his interests in, and profits of, his business during his official term to Mr. Anon, Mr. JAMES BROWN, and Judge HILTON, as trustees, to be ex pended on the public charities of New York City ; that is be desired to surrender in round numbers between two and three millions sterling for the pleasure of holding one of the most difficult posts in the world. The balance of legal opinion was, however, against him, and prospective profits cannot be thus assigned, so he sent in an unconditional resignation. Then the PRESIDENT was in the face of another difficulty. Our English readers may not comprehend State jealousies, or know that it is a rule of the Washington Administration to represent in the Executive all parts of the country. To Mr. BOUTWELL the vacant portfolio had already been offered, and to Mr. BoUTWELL Guam again turned. Then, on his acceptance, there would be in the Cabinet two Ministers from Massachusetts, so it was thought almost incumbent on Judge HOAR to resign, although he bad telegraphed that he would arrive to take over the office on the 9th inst. Extreme surprise was felt at Washington when the names were known—two only, Mr. WASHBURNE and Mr. CRESWELL, being politicians of national repute. Mr. FBI" and Mr. BourwELL have since been added, though Mr. WASHBURNE has resigned. In England the following objection has Leen taken to GRANTS nominations, and no doubt it was keenly felt in Washington. It is unfair to men who devote themselves to political life to be deprived of its rewards. If any merchant, lawyer, doctor, or soldier is equally eligible and competent as a politician every inducement to the latter to devote his time to what is really a profes sion will be lost, and men of energy an 1 capacity will ces,se to pursue it, arguing that they may grasp all the benefits of another calling, while re taining an equal chance of the State prizes. Grnasres position, however, is peculiar. In the first place, he is not a politician, in fact dislikes the class, into whose hands have fallen so much power, and to whom is due so much corruption. Perhaps the most difficult task before the new PRESIDENT in his own opinion is the correction of the abuses caused by politicians, and the renovation of the Civil Ser vice ; and those who look closely into the Cabinet will see that every Minister was distinctly chosen not merely for his personal honesty but for his out spoken hatred and contempt of these abuses. Not only did he choose men on whom he could rely to back him up, but those, like himself, without a following. Hitherto a Cabinet has been a cluster of Sovereigns, each having:his own subjects and de pendents, but the present Ministers are as un trammelled as GRANT himself. Another feature is that the Ministers are his strong personal friends. Every one of them is his owa choice, and all will obey his commands, not dictate his policy. For the Executive Administration of the United States, therefore, General GRANT is henceforth wholly re sponsible. Theoretically a PRESIDENT.MUSt be re sponsible, while the exigencies of parties may force him to appoint Ministers whose views widely differ from his own, and whom he can little control. Such was the position of ANDREW JOHNSON, and indeed, of most Presidents ; but General GRANT deals lite rally with the subject, accepting the full responsi bility and exercising all the authority. This doubt less was the object of the Fathers in framing the Constitution, and GRANT in his straightforward simplicity goes b ick to the early days. His inau gural confirms our assertions, in which the pithy language and ideas resemble those of the primi tive leaders in the Union. We may here re mark that the words he used regarding the repay ment of the National Debt were stronger than the summary sent to Europe. lie could have said nothing more to the point, an d in every appoint ment he has marked his determination to adhere to this programme. General Cox's was the nomination received with the least favour, as he was least com mitted to Republican principles. He opposed Negro Suffrage, and upheld President JOHNSON at least in so far as to condemn a factious opposi tion against him, though he refused a lucrative post in his Admin istration. Governor Cox has ac cepted the Interior Department, and was expected at Washington on the 10th, where apartments were secured for him. Mr. Fists was considered the pro bable successor of Mr.WASHBURNE, who was known to be in too delicate a state of health to retain his portfolio though he had entered on its duties, and France was thought to be his eventual destination. The new Minister to England bad been decided on, the PRESIDENT having probably waited to consult his Secretary of State, and now our readers may at any hour learn who is to be Mr. REVEIIDY SON'S successor. General Wyman B. S. Moor of Maine died in Virginia on Sunday, February 28, where he had gone for the benefit of his health. General Moor was born in Waterville, Maine, November 3, 1814 ; graduated at 'Wa terville College ; studied law at Cambridge, and was ad mitted to the bar in 1834. He was a member of the Maine Legislature in 1839 ; Attorney-General of that State from 1841 to 1818 ; and, by appointment, succeeded John Fair • field as a Senator in Congress, serving from January to June, 1818. Ho subsequently devoted much attention to the railroad interests of his State, and in 1857 was ap pointed by President Buchanan Consul-General to the British American Provinces.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S. Extracts from the Report of the• Directors, presented at the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, 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 hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of premium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on I he large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society'g 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 w'.ole of Life, where the age does net exceed 60, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. 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 be assured at rates proport i o n e d to the increased risk. - PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF C LAIMS. —Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. Tables of Rites and Forms of Prop Ofial can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTCLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary. 13, St. James's-square, London. S.W. • ----- ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, i ssue d by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, 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 m the present Tables, and to issue AssuraDOCS under which shall be absolutely U n f o rfeitable, Unco nditional, and Unchallengeable. - For the reason referred to, man y persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the 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 import an t advantage, © V ery 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 to 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 foreign residence, or other usual conditions as to voyaging , 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 m atter 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 unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground ma y therefore be aptly termed Absolute whatever. They Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year.
