September 1868. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, 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 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 Unforfeitablo, Unconditional, and Uncballengeable. 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 cialls 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 pentium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount cssured 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 thci Table._ Three, ha.nkers o w ! di_ tors, and others holding policies of this clAss as security, may always know the utmost a moun t th e y may b e ca ll e d 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 krouud whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. TheI'RUriENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of env office in the Kingdom.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

The New York Nation seems to think that the movement ought to receive all due encouragement. No doubt, as the Nation observes, three hundred thousand citizens of the same race, religion, and edu cation as the American people would be a welcome addition to the body politic of the United States. The Americans are always glad of an increase to their family, and they would be especially delighted with any addition which was made at the cost of Canada. In one sense, however, the annexation is devoutly to be wished. If the Nova Scotians could be turned over to the United States for six months, they would be amply satisfied with the experiment ; we should hear no more of the outcry against enforced annexation to the Dominion. However. the Nation is right in attaching some importance to this movement, for one of the Nova Scotian papers goes so far as to publish lists of the disaffected. A paper called the New Idea, advocating the annexation of the whole of Canada to the United States, is circulating in the neigh. bourhood of Quebec. MISS RYE'S BMIGBANTS. The eighty young women whom Miss Rye has taken to Canada have arrived in the colony all well, and have met with a hearty welcome. There is a great demand for girls in Canada, the supply is short, and Miss Rye's importation will therefore be proportionately valued. The Toronto Globe promises that none of the girls will be permitted to engage with anyone whose character will not bearecrutiny. The householders are having a regular fight for these valuable prize% BALTIMORE. The port of Baltimore, on the coast of Maryland, was a heavy sufferer by the civil war, and its present condition is, therefore, some guide to the recovery of the Southern States from the effects of that exhausting struggle. On this account the report of our Consul, to the effect that the trade and population of the Maryland seaport are progressing with great rapidity, is highly gratifying. In 1860 the inhabitants of the port numbered 212,000. They are now 352,000. The progress of trade has been equally striking. In 1864 the imports of Baltimore were valued at 6 millions of dollars, and the exports at 12 millions. The values • are now respectively 13 and 15 millions. The few years of peace have been employed by the people of the Southern States in re-establishing their former trade with Baltimore, and beyond doubt their energy has been rewarded with much success. Our Consul says:— " With the gradual subsiding of political excitement in the Southern States, and with their reconciliation to recon struction, this State is daily assuming its wonted com merce in cotton; in fact, since the close of the war, which completely ruined the Maryland cotton market, this trade has been steadily increasing. Baltimore being the nearest Atlantic market to a large section of cotton growing districts, and possessing great facilities for trans. port, there can be no doubt but that it will become a very important cotton market, more especially as political sympathies with the South will draw a considerable portion of the trade to this city." EDUCATION IN TURLEY. It is customary for Christian merchants under the rule of the Porte to ascribe the backward condition of Turkey, and especially the deplorable state of education, to the oppression of the Government. Our Consul at BosnnSerai, Mr. Holmes emphatically deolares that nothing can be more false than these reports. Speaking of the state of educa tion in Bosnia, he says that it is bad simply because the people do not care to pay for any better. The Government has always shewn itself ready to aid the establishment of schools, but both Turks and Christians think there is no need to be better educated than their fathers, and desire no impro,e tuent. "Half the evils attributed to the Turkish Govern or ent arise from the ignorance, indolence, and superstition of the populations themselees, and they must very much change their nature before a great and general advance in civilisation can take place, do what the Government may to Inv:note it." Politicians who are accustomed to get frantic over the sorrows of various nationalities under the rule of the Porte will do well to keep these facts in mhid. AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA It is not often that Englishmen know nr care anything about Venezuela, but just now the news comes thick and fast from that obscure South American State. Our telegram announcing the closing of Maracaibo to commerce is supplemented by an official notice that no vessels will be henceforth allowed to clear for that port from the United Kingdom. It appears that this closing of Maracaibo is owing to the doings of General Pulgar, an individual hitherto unknown to fame, who is apparently disposed to immortalise himself by bringing about a civil war in Venezuela. He bad seized the Customs dues of that important seaport—which is the capital of his province —disposing of them as he thought fit, without rendering an account to the Central Government at Caraccas. Pulgar, as a cable telegram informs us, has now openly defied the Govern ment, and is in arms at the head of 6,000 men. Mara caibo was closed by order of the Venezuelan Foreign Secretary, in order, it would seem, to cut off Pulgar's source of revenue. We never hear any good of these South American States ; they are chronically a prey either to revolutions or earthquakes. OUTRAGES UPON EUROPEANS IN JAPAN. Once more we have intelligence of a long series of outrages committed upon foreigners in Japan. English, Dutch, and French have been treated with far more impartiality than respect. The commander of the English frigate Ocean, passing in an open carriage near Singawa, was stopped, insulted, and compelled—at least so says the Paris Petrie—to bow himself in the Japanese fashion before the cortege of a daimio. Two Englishmen, who were out in a carriage at Yokohama, were insulted by the followers of another native prince. M. Dubousquet, a French lieutenant, was struck on the head by a heavy stick, and rendered insensible. Another Frenchman underwent the same fate. A Dutchman narrowly escaped from an attack of three Japanese. Finally, an attempt was made to set the French Legation on fire. As to the motive of these spas. modic displays of violence we are left entirely in the dark. The foreign Ministers in Japan have made representa. tions, but it is not hoped that any of the individual offenders will be discovered. Foreign Mail Packet List.
