" A Century of English Caricature" is the first subject met with in the Dublin, and it furnishes a fund of enter tainment. The substance of the article is taken from Mr. Wright's " Caricature History of the Georges," a work which impresses the characters of the period most strongly on the mind and memory. Law's Mississippi scheme and the South Sea bubble were fruitful sub jects for the caricaturists of the time, and, strangely enough, the Dutch then gave the tone in satirical art to France and England. It is remarked upon as some what! inconsistent that Pope, who was so sensitive himself to satire, should have, by his " Dunciad," set all the literati of the day against him. Among the numerous sketches of the poet one is cited as worthy of preservation ; it contains the declaration that Pope and wit are so closely linked that one cannot be demolished without the other being destroyed. Sir Robert Walpole was one of the victims of the satirical mania then in vogue, and his foreign policy in particular gave rise to abundant caricatures. Hogarth's delineations are said to bear the same relation to caricature as comedy does to farce. He made some attempt at the historical style, but soon became sensible of his unfitness for that line of art, and returned to the satirical and humorous school. In the account of the " Vaudois and Albigenses " reader is reminded that it is a mistake to fancy they t. their name from Peter Waldo ; rather he was so called ", from being one of them. They are the dalesmen of the woody Alpine valleys, and were so named more than a century before Peter began to preach. Peter Waldo was a rich Lyons merchant, who sold his property, gave half to the poor, and spent the other half in getting the Bible translated into the langue-d'oe. "Memorable Odds and Ends" contains many curious scraps of information, and makes mention of some strange hallucinations which have possessed people at different times. One man thought he was made of glass, and was afraid to move lest he should break in pieces. Another believed that he was permanently frozen, and was cured by the ingenuity4A his physician, who wrapped him in sheepskins saturated in aqua vita?, and thus dressed, set him on the fire. Very shortly he rushed off dancing and leaping, crying out that "he was now quite well, and rather too hot." Some of the articles in the current number of the Contemporary Beview are scarcely up to the ordinary mark, but others are of great merit, and the table of contents is more varied than usual. The preponderance of space is, however, allotted, according to custom, to questions affecting philosophy and religion. Those who are inte rested in the demolition of Dr. Bence Jones's theories on Matter and Force will find a vigorous attempt at that great work by Mr. Heath. But as the refutation of individual opinions is not ordinarily very lively reading, the general reader. I imagine, will find much more enjoyment in the paper by the Rev. C. A. Row, on " Moral Philosophy and Christianity." This is, indeed, a very superior con tribution, well written in point of style, and not without some claim to originality in respect of matter. Mr. Row points out the distinction between moral philosophy and Christianity, and shews that 'whereas the old philosophers failed utterly in their attempts to regenerate man kind, because men could not be taught virtue unless a sufficiently virtuous community were formed and therefore the ideal state of the philosophers could not be realised because there was no substratum upon which to found it, Christianity introduced this very substratum in the shape of the principle of faith. The philosopher taught very truly that by performing virtuous acts the prac tice of virtue becomes a habit, but this course is prac ticable only with that small minority of mankind whose natural tendencies seem more or less virtuous ; the great mass of humanity, which is more or leas deeply contaminated with vice is not to be reached by such an influence. Thus, whilst philosophy dealt only with a small fraction of humanity, religion, aided by the prin ciple of faith, reaches both bad and good alike. Mr. Row enlarges very ably on this important theme. He finds, however, ground for complaint in the unprogressive character of Christian moral philosophy. Since Butler, very little has been done in this direction ; and Butler's work was elaborated unsystematically rather to combat the sceptical principles of the eighteenth century than to regularly investigate the relations of man's moral and spiritual nature to the great truths of the Christian revelation. Christianity ought to claim her right to a distinct recognition in every sound system of philosophy as the most powerful principle which can operate in human nature. Another high-class paper in this branch of writing is supplied by the Rev. Professor Plumptre, in a review of M. Ernest Renan's last work, "St. Paul." Though Mr. Plumptre energetically combats his author, the spirit of the work is very carefully and impartially presented, and those who care not to read the whole of " St. Paul " may be satisfied with the repre sentation of it given here. Amongst the general articles, "The Management of the Speaking Voice," by Mr. Hullab, will be found very useful. The Contemporary continues the agitation on behalf of the education of women, of which it has lately become a leading advocate. This month we have " Girls' Grammar Schools "—a lament over the general lack in the metropolis of good schools for the daughters of professional men and others, to whom the education of their girls is a matter of pkamount importance, but who cannot afford to pay much for the boon. This is a want which is felt in the country generally as well as in London. The middle-class man can have his sons Hell educated at such an institution as the City of London School for £lO a-year ; but nowhere can he obtain any instruction worth having for his girls for such a price. " Pictures of the Year " would have been more satisfactory if the writer had not endeavoured to cover so much ground. The remain ing article is one by Professor Corrado Tommasi-Condeli, on the state of education in Italy. Very bad it is. Of every hundred men throughout Italy seventy-two can neither read nor write ; and of women the proportion is eighty-four. Lately the War Minister of Saxony an nounced, as an extraordinary and uncommon occurrence, that two recruits who could neither read nor wr it e h a d presented themselves at the Conscription of 1808. In Italy 35,000 such are to be found at every Conscription. Such are national differences. The marvellous success which has attended the patient efforts of the modern instructors of the deaf and dumb is described in an interesting paper in the June number of the Sunday Magazine. The account of the perfect hush which reigns in the busy schoolroom, where teachers and taught are alike silent, is graphically given, and the manner in which the instruction is conveyed to the poor little scholars is ingenious and striking. A noticeable fact in connection with this affliction is the manner iu which it shews itself in particular families. Thus in one family of ten children no fewer than eight are deaf and dumb, in a family of eight, seven are similarly afflicted, and in many smaller families all the children aro deaf mutes. One hundred and five children in the Asylum belong to twenty-three families. The visitors to the Royal Academy's Exhibition this year have seen a paint ing by an artist who received his early education in the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, in the Old Kent-road. The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles is described by the same writer who has formerly given us some account of the manner in which the Israelites were bound to celebrate their two great feasts of the Passover and of Pentecost. Dr. Vaughan contributes an essay on the " Valley of Humiliation" and Professor Plumptro continues his " Bibilical study " of the Babylonian captivity. Several topics are pleasantly discussed in the current number of Good IVords. The Rev. B. Johns tells the story of "A Blind Inventor," Dr. Jame Gale, M.A., who, in spite of his great drawback, has achieved a recognised position among the scientific inventors of the day. The Hon. and Rev. W. Lyttelton appa rently shares the continental opinion that we English are too grave a people, for he makes an animated defence of Laughter, drawing, however, a wise distinction between seemly and unseemly mirth. The Good Words' Commissioner continues his accounts of our working people, and describes the Buckinghamshire labourer, whom he regards as a fair specimen of the English peasant. One of the best articles in this number is "The Two Breaths," by the Rev. Charles Kingsley, in which the necessity of ventilation for health is insisted on. The subiect is not a new one, for many social philosophers and men of science have en deavoured to popularise it before Mr. Kingsley, but it is very certain that the lesson is not_ yet generally learned, and therefore it needs repetition. he Bishop of Oxford continues his "Heroes of Hebrew History," taking for his central figure the character of Joseph ; and Miss Edwards proceeds with her story of "Debenham's Vow" at some length. St. Paul's is not quite up to its usual standard. The articles are well written, but the subjects are not of a character to excite any great degree of interest. The writer of the notice on Austria in 1869," after passing in review the chief elements of discontent which exist iu that empire, comes to the conclusion that the real source of Austria's present troubles is not so much the mutual hostility of rival nationalities as " the frenzy of cen tralisation," as Mr. Lowe calls it, which characterises the rule of the German element. A radical change of the present system is wanted, and the writer believes that no statesman will ever succeed in the difficult task of saving the empire from internal dissolution unless he abandons, once for all, the pernicious system of governing for the exclusive benefit of a minority, which has brought it to the verge of ruin. The vexed question of " Naturalisation and Allegiance " is again discussed, the author of the article on the subject contending that, an alteration in the present state of the law being necessary, the Government cannot do better than adopt many of the recommenda tions suggested by the Royal Commission which was appointed some time eince. M. Victor Hugo's "L'Homme Qui Rit " is condemned as a stupendous anachronism. The reviewer asserts that it contains such " a mass of misconception and atsurdity regarding the Court, the law, the letters, the whole civil and social state of Eng land, as might warrant an amazedreader in declaring that the author had touched nothing which he did not dis figure." The article entitled Goldoni " gives some particulars of life in Italy 120 years since ; and the tale of The Three Brothers " is continued. London Society is as varied as usual this month. There is a serial storyhy Mr. Whyte Melville,whicb is vigorously sustained, a shorter tale, and an infinite collection of essays, sketches, poems, &c. A short paper on " Parisian Clubs, Past and Present," contains very little information respect. ing the clubs of either tense ; but "Social Superstition" is better, and " Dove Dale," a sketch of a ramble in Derbyshire, better still. " Ancient Hostelries, and the Men who Frequented Them," is a very old topic, which has been especially well worn of late ; but it always seems to furnish a fund of ideas, and accordingly tho articles on this subject in London Society are readable. There is an interesting account of the Brompton Hospital for Consumption, and a list of all the remarkable cases of longevity in " Very Old People." The "Piccadilly Papers," as usual, contain some fair writing. The verses as a rule are weak, and the defect of the articles in general is that they are too sketchy and trifling. It is impossible to satisfac torily deal with a large subject in three or four pages , and yet this seems to be the average space accorded in London Society. By the way, the portrait of the Crown Princess of Prussia, inserted opposite page eighty, must surely be a mistake. The eldest daughter of the Queen isyeta young woman, but not quite so young as represented in this case. The other illustrations of this magazine are, howeyer, A 4 UAW, Of A Tory high order.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next 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.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from tho 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 eluded, at upwards of £sl2s. 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 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 tho 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 ab9orbed 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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN -1-1- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. Established 1848. 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 Unforfeitahle, 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 pi emium 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 payable at decease, or, in case of neod, 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 class as security, may always know the ut mos t amoun t th e y may b e ca ll e d upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurauces—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 being unforfoitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed. Absoluto Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSUIL COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215.000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new bu.iness of any office in tho Kingdom.
