STEELE, Secretary. A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- La- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62 by , Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. 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 Unchallongeable. 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 timo 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy , will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording ti 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 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. 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 whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of X 215,90 a year. it Its position is un questionable, and obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

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 £sl2s. per cent.

General Grant's silence on foreign affairs is very gene. rally interpreted unfavourably to the chances of the Alabama treaty. Ills inaugural address contained no allusion to difficulties with England, and the attempts to obtain any semi-official declaration of his policy on this question have, as usual, resulted in contradictory state. ments. The correspondent of the Telegraph has had "precise information" that the President is opposed to the Clarendon-Johnson Convention. The universal opinion, according to this writer, is that the treaty will not be ratified, and in all probability will be passed over without a vote. The hostility of the Tribune to some extent supports this belief, for though this journal adopts a blustering, insolent style, in no way characteristic of Grant, yet it is thought to most nearly represent the views of the President. On the other hand, the New York Times, which has throughout adopted a very moderate tone, says that General Grant's policy of peace applies to all relations of the Government. He is not satisfied with this Convention, but it is not to be supposed that two Liberal Administrations are incapable of arriving at a satisfactory settlement. TIIE SPANISH TURONE. An important telegram -is sent from Lisbon, where the Duke of Montpeusier resides, to the Paris journals. On indisputable authority it is declared that the Duke of Montpensier will not accept the Crown of Spain unless chosen by a respectable majority. "He desires that his elect:on may not serve as a pretext for civil war, but rather that it may ivagurate an era of prosperity and peace." If the Duke be elected at all, in all probability the majority will be very" respectable" indeed, for the Monarchists form three-fourths of the Assembly. This declaration, therefore, is chiefly noticeable as being formal and open announcement of the Duke's pretensions to the throne. He still remains without a competitor. ~~ ~~~~ ~ Y-~ `i FRANCE AND BELGIUM. The railway dispute stands where it did. The assura - ,ac e of a quiet termination has not, so far, been clisturbekbut the means by which it is to be brought about appear still undefined. England, says the Etendard, has proilosed to submit the dispute to disinterested mediation, and this suggestion has been very favourably received by the Prin. elan Cabinet. The idea of having recourse to the assist : , ance of a mixed commission has since been substituted for the arbitration, which was at first favoured. "This change appears well-advised, since If it bercartied out, the local nature of the dispute will be preserved, whilst the intervention of another sovereign, or even of an international commission, would tend to give the dispute a more extended character. We are surprised that this evident danger was not counted upon either by England or Prussia." In reply to this sage reflection, it may be k observed that though it is admirable as a general rtqa to "preserve the local character" of all disputes, yet when one of the parties is a very small State and the other a very large one, the non-intervention of neighbours is apt to end in the intimidation of the weaker disputant. The arbitration of an independent sovereign is a sure,geara n t ee of:impartiality, which even a Franco-Belgian commission may not afford. The Prase states that Prince Joseph of Chimay has been chosen by the Belgian Cabinet to conduct the negotia. tions between the two Governments. He left Brussels for Paris last Thursday. Prince Joseph belongs to the Catholic party, and was employed in the difficult negotia. tions between the Emperor Napoleon and King Leopold after the coup d'etat in 1851. He is one of the lesuling Bel. gian diplomatists, and has been ambassador at several European Courts. Respecting this question, the Berlin Corrapondence, Count Bismarck's organ, has the following:—' The offer of mediation by the English Cabinet, after having been denied, now appears to be confirmed. English interests also suffer from the perpetual variation of the political barometer of Europe, and we understand that the opinion is gaining ground at London that it is necessary for England to be much less indifferent to the general affair% of the Continent. The Independance Beige mentions a rumour that the Queen of England has addressed an autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon relative to this railway complica tion. Why not determine the importance of the affair at once by getting up a congress? The lease of a few miles of railway seems a small matter, but great wars have sprung out of less important causes. HOLLAND. The Dutch have been getting through some useful legislation of late. Amongst several reforms of con.. siderable home importance, the Legislature has abolished the duty on newspapers. One good deed follows another. The money lost by the newspaper impost must be regained, and so a bill to increase the duty on spirituous liquors has been passed by 56 to 15. AUSTRIA MW ITALY. It is now stated that the projected interview between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Italy will not take place. It has been thought advisable not to give a political aspect to the friendship between the two coup. tries, but the sovereigns have, nevertheless, exchanged congratulations by means of their Ambassadors. THE , MINLSTER OF WAR AND THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. An answer has been published to an address of the -Rouse of Co.Mmona for a copy " of any documents now in force 'Limn the subjectoftne respective duties and &nth°. city of the Secretary of State for War and the Commander. in-Chief." This document, which is dated Balmoral, October 11, 1861, states that " our will and pleasure is, that the military command and discipline of our army and land forces, as likewise the appointments to and promotions in the same, together with all powers relating to the mili tary command and discipline of our army, which, under and by any patent or commission from us, shall have been, or shall from time to time be, committed to, vested in, or regulated by the Commander-in-chief of our forces, or the General Commanding our Forces in Chief for -the time being, shall be excepted from the department of the Secretary of State for War." It is further added that all business relating to these matters shall bp transacted by the Commander-in-Chief, "subject always to n , ir general control over the government of the army, and to the responsibility of the Secretary of State for the exercise of our royal prerogative in that behalf, and subject to any powers formerly exercised by the Secretary at War." Mr. Cecil Guinness has issued bis addrers to the electors of Dublin. Besides promising to support Con servatism he states that, ne will defend the interests of the Church. According to an cfilciat account ‘ on Friday pub lished, the receipts of the Duchy- of Cornwal during the past year were £87,082, and the disbursements £74,883, in- cluding £55,252 paid to the Prince of Wales. The grand jury of the county Kerry have adopted a petition to Parliament in favour of the purchase of the Irish railways by the State. Sir Rowland Blennerhassett, who brought the subject rorward, stated that he did nut believe Mr. Glafigtone was avers a to carrying out the sug oested reform. 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 and clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, 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 ono should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons 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. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Vales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser General Butler, who has nominated Grant for President in 1872, received a visit from General and Mrs. Grant at Washington. A Washington correspondent of the New York Times says of the visit, "I learn from good authority that overtures for a social peace and recognition have been persistently made by Butler for some weeks past, and so importunately that General and Mrs. Grant have been compelled, for the sake of etiquette, to respond, and hence the visit." Professor Goldwin Smith of the Cornell Univer sity of New York was elected a member of the Execu tive Committee of the Prison Association. This distin guished gentleman, it was stated, very cordially accepts a position in the Board of Managers, and will render per sonal service in the visitation of prisons in the State. [ADVERTISEMENT.)—Henceforth no oue will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We extract a few out ofmore than 63,000 cures:—Cure No. 53,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation, all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No 1.771 : Lord Stuart de Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia. No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly " Cure No. 46,270: Mr. James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, and partial deafness. Im portant Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebi g's name is most audaciously attached. 228 1 n. t , in 4 s i , b a s t , 4 1 0 %. 1 .- 4 A dy so l D lb o .
