ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES , UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 02, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. Th e Di rec t or s 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 Unchalleugeable. For the reason referred to, many 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 Ps3'able 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 ca ir nteests, and it will likewise com men d i tself to bankers, pitalists, and others who are in the habit of making s c a dvanceollaterall secured by Life Poli c i es, as they can at any time learn, by.y 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 voyaeing, f ore i g n residence , or other usual limitations. By thi s f reedom from res trictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be en tirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing stateme nt of advantages, the number of premiums isstrictly defined. The longest term provided for i s twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thu s, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amoun t they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the f a ll benefit of the Assurances—a matter o f grea t importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only n ecessary to add that as a consequence of th e beingu policies under the se tables belnnforfeitable aod uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They termed Absolute Spcurity may therefore be aptly The PRUDtifTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215 000 a year. i Its position is un• questionable, itand obtains the largest amount of new business of any office • the Kingdom.

Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, rend at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.0.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. 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.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 98. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by- viz., .£131,811 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. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on now 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 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 fttnount of premi'ims 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 ofliceshist absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : • D R. LIADILITINS.

THOMAS A LLEN,I . HENRY ROSE, Auditors. The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On comparing 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 3s. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

GERMANY. imeeessor of Count Usedom as the Prustiaii Aini; bassacior at Florence is not yet known, but it is believed that by a shifting of places the G overnment will strengthen its position by alloting a diplomatic post to Count Munster, formerly Minister of the King of Hanover. The recall, or rather the disgrace, of Count Usedom seems to be owing to Count BisMarck. These two public men have ever been on unfriendly terms, for in 1852 the present Prussian Chancellor, then almost unknown, was sup, planted as Ambassador at Frankfort by Count Usedom. The Moniteur affirms that negotiations have been going on between France, Austria, and Italy with the view of ? bringing about an alliance. Whether these intrigues h ave had any practical result does not transpire, but Count Usedam certainly failed to keep his Government well informed respecting them. F_LECTIONE . EILING IN lIITNGAIIT. The Hungarians are so delighted with their newly. acquired free institutions that the lampooning, brick thr Fix ing, and hat-demolishing of English elections are ;rejected as altogether too tame. The opposite par Lies indulge in pitched battles. Four or five dead is a not uncommon result. The last bulletin of the campaign records a loss of two killed and forty wounded. In order to put an end to these scenes, which are - frequently winked at by the local authorities, the Ge frernment has declared that intimidation will be held a criminal offence, and that officials who exhibit any negli geace will be dismissed. SECTARIANISM IN RUSSIA. potbin g in the history of religious schism is comparable to" the extravagancies of the numerous Russian sects and sub-sects which abjure the Greek Church and make war upon the Czar as its temporairepresentative. The Skoptsii are but one powerful division of Russian dissent. The two great sections into which these schismatics are divided are the Bezpopoftsi, who do not acknowledge a priesthood, and the Popoftsi, who support a species of clerical hierarchy. The forper are subdivided into thirty. seven sects, of which the Skoptsti are one. All these differ among themselves, but they agree in the main principles of hostility to the Emperor, who seems to be the genuine " Beast," and in excessive mortification of the flesh. They practice literally the precept "if thine eye offend thee pluck it out," and as a natural sequence to this doctrine, suicide is held to be the most merito rious of actions, and the surest passport to heaven. On one occasion 1,700 fanatics, not Skoptsii, shut them. selves in wooden huts, around which inflammable matter had been heaped, and set fire to the whole mass. On another occasion a monk and 38 adherents burned them., selves in a similar manner. The members of one sect break off all relationship with society, and roam about in the depths of the forests in order to escape obedience to the " Beast." Another denomination lives in incessant expectation of the coming of Christ. Their preachers have several times announced the precise day of His second appearance, and on each occasion the members of the sect dug graves and lay in them awaiting the blast of the last trumpet. Their frequent disappoint. ments have not aanfinshad their credulity. The second great division, the Popoftsi, are less wild in their practice and belief. The total number of Dissenters in Russia is estimated at nine millions. SPAIN. Monday's sitting of the Cortes may be taken as virtually decisive of the destinies of Spain. The Government refused to deprive the Duke of Montpensier of his command as Captain-General. Admiral Topete, the third in rank of the revolutionary leaders, then openly and gratuitously avowed that he sup- , ported the candidature of the Orleanist Prince. Prim and Serrano were more reticent, and expressed their willingness to accept a republic if the Cortes selected that form of Government, but they well knew that they were offering to accept what never would be chosen. Montpensier seems to have been the only prince mentioned. The Ministry have acknowledged the process of exhaus tion by which no choice is left to the nation; indeed proof is not wanting that other candidatures have been but dummies to conceal the intentions of the Government. TELE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. The telegram received at Madrid states that the insur gents have been defeated, and that Havanna flrtranquil. But, according to the New York papers, which devote a a very large space to details of the revolution, the rest of the island is by no means in the same peaceful condition. The insurgents have long held the whole of the Eastern interior, and now threaten the most important points in the west. The Spaniards may win battles with a large army, but it is urged with much show of reason that an island, 800 miles long, intersected with mountains, and overrun with a hostile population, cannot be subdued by any force that Spain eau command. " It is time, therefore," observes the New York Herald, " to consider our position with regard to Cuba." The Cubans are about to ask for belligerent rights. America must not refuse the recogni tion, "common humanity demands it." And this is the people who have done all but make war on England on account of the "premature" recognition of the Confede racy as a belligerent. THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Andrew Johnson has not retired from the leader. ship of the United States with much glory, but his veto of the Copper Tariff Bill was supported by perhaps the best argument he ever sent to Congress. The ex-President shewed that, whilst the miners of Lake Superior demanded the tariff to prevent them from starving, a more important interest, the Atlantic smelters, opposed it on precisely the same grounds. Congress was asked to bolster up the less productive industry of the two. Besides this, the increased duty would enhance the cost of an important article, blue vitriol, 70 per cent., and thus seriously interfere with such indus tries as the dyeing and printing of coloured cloths. This will entail fresh claimants for protection, and a de mand for another increase of duties, and so the see-saw of bad policy goes on. It is noteworthy that Congress passed the bill over Mr. Johnson's veto only by a very narrow majority. The Chicagoan, the leading woman's rights' organ, has put forth a clear and concise statement of the policy of which it is the recognised exponent. According to this journal, the great object of the woman's rights' movement is not the enjoyment of the suffrage, the free command of the labour market, equality of education, or any of these trifles. These are all very well, but are only regarded as means to an end. Free trade in marriage is the great work to be accomplished. Courtship ought not to be the exclusive privilege of man. Women ought to be on an equality in this respect, if, indeed the right to woo is not primarily theirs. Then, "in the parental realm woman's sove reignty ought to be recognised." Finally, the Chicagoan would not have the bonds of matrimony too inflexible ; indeed, the fact that it is published in a town which is entitled "the City of Easy Divorce" to some extent ex. plains its mission. In the Superior Court of Illinois an interesting will case has begun, involving Chicago property valued at $1,500,000. The suit is brought by Henry Uhlich, eldest son of the late Carl Gottfried Uh lich. The deceased had three sons. Henry disagreed with his father, and the two younger sons were of weak intellect. Old Uhlich, just before his death, confided in John H. Muhlke, and entrusted his affairs to his management. The m llionaire died intestate, though he had directed that his son Henry receive $50,000 w3rth of property, and his second son a small monthly allowance, while the remainder should be divided between his youngest son and Muhlke. The latter thus receives shout $700,000. Henry claims that his father was completely under Muldke's influence, and appeals against such a division of the pro perty. The two younger sons and Muhlke defend the case. The New fork Commercial publishes the follow ing as occurring at General Butler's reception in Wash ington :—" General Butler joined in a conv ersation held near hint on a subject not ex actl y harmonious u ith the festive occasion, but brought to mind by the removal of the body of Mrs. Surratt. She was an innocent woman,' the General said, unhesitatingly. In reply to a remark made by a gentleman that her case showed the truth of the saying, Military commissions are organised to convict,' lie said, 'Yes. I sent persons to military com missions, when I intended them to be convicted ; when I wished them acquitted, I did it myself.'" One of those shocking scenes which cause so much loss of life in the Southern States occurred near unnslake, Florida, on the 29th January. Two families, neighbours, held to be good citizens, had long hated each other bitterly; on that day three of the Braddock brothers, and three of the others, the Turners , came into open collision ' the result being the death of one of the former and two of the last-named. The most reckless bravery was dis played on either side. The weapons used were shotguns and rifles, which were used within ten feet distance of each other, wounding or killing the whole party. Two of the Turners were killed, one on the field, the other flying, wounded, for his life. John Braddock fell instantly the first shot. Dylng, he exclaimed to his brothers, " Kill the last one before he escapes." THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS. A. most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch ani clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Eond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and CO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persona residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety.
