This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. D R.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Office- 7 7, King-street, St. James's, The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, thit the ordinary mode of Lifo 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 Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 ptemium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 enuring 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 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 Asaursalees—aznattar„of -great importanea...whars pandas., are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, Ran consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitabia and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on env round whatever. They may therefore ho aptly termed - Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL A S'ITT:A NCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of ..£215,(w0 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent fer support on voluntary contributions and legacies.

Those workmen who might resume their labour are terrified by the threats of the association. The point in dispute is not wages, for the employers had pre viously consented to an increase of pay. Several other questions are raised, and disturbing influences prevail ti a great extent in consequence of the ill-advised Oforts of certain persons who call themselves the friends. of the working classes. At Centellas a serious disturliance has taken place between the men on strike and those who wished to work. Three persons were killed and several wounded. The authorities have called the forces together in the vicinity; but the whole plan is in a very confused condition. THE tEPLY OF THE SULTAN. News from Constantinople, dated the 28th of August, states that the reply-of the Porte to the letter of the Khedive was to leave on.Tuerlay, and was to be conveyed, like its predecessor, by an aide-de-camp of the Grand Vizier. In this letter the Porte thanks the Khedive for Lis protestations. of devotion, but asks as a guarantee of his good faith the surrender or the sale of the armour-clad ships and the new arms with which he has supplied him• self. and the reduction' of his troops within -the limits imposed by the firmans. The Porte also requests the Khe• dive to renounce the imposition of new taxes, to promise the reduction of existing taxes, which are now too high, and to transmit to Constantinople an annual statement of the financial situation of Egypt. THE JOURNEY OF THE VICEROY. A despatch from Alexandria, announces that prepara• tions have been commenced for the Viceroy's journey to Constantinople. The day for his departure will be fixed immediately after the return of Talaat Paella, who is expected to arrive at Alexandria about the sth of September. GREECE. Active discussions have been carried on in Athens with reference to the policy of the Bulgaria Cabinet on the Candiote question. A motion to the effect that a discus. sion was undesirable was rejected by 104 against 20. Another motion, proposing that three members should be appointed to present the charge against M. Bulgaris and his colleagues, in virtue of the Slst Article of the Consti- tution, was taken into consideration, and the Chamber resolved to discuss it at another sitting. M. Delyannis has made a speech, frankly accepting the decisions of the Paris Conference on the Turco-Grecian question, and declaring his willingness to make that the basis of his policy. POPULATION OF RUSSIA. The difficulties of making a census in Rnssia are very great, but M. Semenoff, the chief of the Statistical Bureau, has contrived to furnish some statistics which can be looked upon with confidence. The total popula. tion is 60,909,000, and it doubles in fifty yeais, as in Germany and England. The deaths are lin 37, which is a higher rate than that of any other European country. • The rate of mortality declines as we come further west, and the average of life increases accordins to the civilisation of the community. THE ALBERT RECONSTRUCTION SCHEME. Sin,—May I ask why Messrs. Jellicoe and Bailey estimate the liabilities on a four per cent. net premiur valuation, and if thei r own offices adopt this high rate it their valuations, thus diminishing the estimated amoun' of the present 'value of liabilities from what it would b• if a lower, and therefore safer, rate of interest were adopted as 'a basis of calculation.? May I also ask if, supposing the shareholders' liability to policy-holders is limited to the extent of their subscribed capital, sue} limitation holds good with regard to the other creditors o the company? Again, why are the present shareholders to have any share in future profits, seeing that some of them, at least, are not -in a position te, meet present liabilities, and that none of them are to pay anything further for the new shares, and is it inclis• pen3abte that the new company should be formed; by shares ? If the basis of reconstruction proposed by the two gentlemen named above be really sound, nothing should be easiar •for them than to induce the companies they represent (or other companies of eqn.tlly good standing; to take over the responsibility of the .Al!,ert on th,, terms they name themselves.—Yonr cbPdient, servant, 9 7th An,;nst, 18G'. RECONSTRUCTION C , F TUE num CHURCH. --- The Archbishops of Ireland have issued writs convening. a Provincial Synod at Armagh on the 10th of September. Things are coming round. The dioceses are gradually giving in their adhesion to the proposal that the bishops should head the laity as well as the clergy. In Meath a requisition to the bishops is in course of signature. In Limerick the prelate has issued a circular to the churchwardens requesting them to convene me e ti ngs o f par i sh i oners in order to secure a lay representation equal in num. ber to the clergy. In Cork the bishop is taking a very active part in the organisation of the laity. His lordship has summoned meetings at divers places. At Youghal resolutions were passed recommending that a synod of the united dioceses should assemble at Cork, and that lay representatives should be chosen in each parish and congregation equal in number to the clergy. At Kinsale, where ladies were present, the bishop explained that after the Primate and Archbishop of Dublin should have met the clergy and settled the number of clerical representatives in the great National Synod or Con. vocation, the laity would be at liberty to break it up or modify it. But before this National Synod can be convened, the Diocesan Synods must be got toge ther. To this end the circular of the Bishop of Limerick, inviting the churchwardens to summon meetings of parishioners, is regarded as the first practical step. The Times correspondent thinks that the only hope of successful organisation lies in the acceptance of the bishops as the head of both parties, clergy and laity. THE SUSTENTATION FUND. The creation of a Sustentation Fund for the Irish Church goes on rapidly. In addition to the considerable sums already announced, the Dublin Mail publishes a list containing one subscription of £2,000, one of £l,OOO, one of £5OO, two of £2OO, and three of £lOO. "No doubt it will very rapidly increase when the organisation of the Church has been properly begun." THE EPISCOPAL BENCH. The arrangement by which the prophets of eccle siastical changes have been appointing Dean Stanley to the see of Oxford on Dr. Wilberforce's trans ference to Winchester is solemnly protested against by both the High and Low Church organs. The rumour, moreover, is denied at Oxford. Dr. Scott, the master of Baliol College, is, among certa n cliques at the University, pointed out as the new bishop. The reason given for his selection is, that he was a fellow student with the Premier at Christ Church. He is described as " one of the first Greek scholars of the age, an admirable theologian, and a man with much experience of parochial management." SIR SHAFT() ADAIR. Sir Shafto Adair is singularly unfortunate ; he is the ever-defeated Liberal candidate, the martyr of his cause. In his own person he suffers severely for th e non progress of the age. Within a very few months he has been defeated at East Suffolk and Antrim, not to speak of previous overthrows. He, of all men, must need consolation banquets. It is with much pleasure therefore , th a t we recor d a d i nner to hi m by the Liberals of Suffolk. More converts to the Ballot were announced at that meeting ; and Sir Shafto himself declared it to be the only means of gain ing a Liberal victory in Antrim. He was defeated il,ore than 2,000 votes, he said, solely through tee extraordinary influence, unduly exercised, ma manner without parallel. by the landlords. lie was con soled by the th oug ht th a t hi s d e f e at had drawn such L ta t w t cn o tn to t fioth the land. i i ld . B and that it contest had w o o p u e l n d e s d o o a n d b o o c r t h i n e Antrim which would never again be closed. TUG ELECTION CUALIIISSIONS. The Norwich commissioners have at last got some thing for their trouble. Up till now they have been baffled and perplexed; one of them wished he had never taken the duty upon him. They have now, however, obtained a very hard fact. Mr. Allen, Li surgeon,' has admitted that -L2OO had been supplied for the purposes of bribery in accordance with an arrangement between himself and a son of Sir H. Stracey, the unseated candidate at the late election. This revelation must make up for many failures. At Beverley small sums gained the elections ; freemen voted for the matter of a few shillings ; some were made " free" that they might rote. At Bridgwater money was .... more ... freely distrrb d, and in larger quantities. The amount of cheating, and chicanery is both amusing and startling. It is amusing to note that a great deal of the money intended for bribery was never so used; that the two parties so worked against one another that the ca.ndidates were robbed on every side ; poetic justice overtook them. It is startling to observe a a borough giving itself up .fo - r a time to 44eh dis lionogaNe . !
