Ar OnAen-street Clieanside. BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN CI, FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLII, issmal by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, RC. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfretmently 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 p-omulgate the present Tables, and to isQue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchellongeable. For the reason referred to, many periOns 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 Iworne forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will cep , - cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment,of premium, for from any other cause whatever; while at the same :time` it abseltztelfguarentees at decease,• when - even a de-t'. 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 assured as the number of pr.._ minim actually pail may .hear to the whole number origi nally contracted to to 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 -- Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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, assuredrill 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, atd 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 act ull sccurii s. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1 ngest term provided for is twenty-five year, and the shortest five years, ns shown by the Table-I. 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 Paeies. The PRUDENTIAL 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 any office in the Kingdom.

DEPUTY-CHA IRMEN. William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S. Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the ALL ual General Meeting held on the 27th November, 1868 :- 1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro ducing £10,067 per Annum. 2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of management and all other outgoings were even less than for many years past. 3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769, notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by abatements of p: emium which did not take effect in the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867. 4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than £B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four years of the Society's existence. 5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to £1,598,906. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society : CREDIT SYSTEM.—Oa any Policy for the whole of Life, where the age does not exceed GO, one-half of the Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain on credit. ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected, without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death, whichever event shall first happen. INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death.

London, March 18, 186. EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON. Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Animal General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.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 bouus—ast is to say, with the debit of X 772,740 13s. 9d.

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 £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 the risks re-assured having terminat e d 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 absorbed 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.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, 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 boon 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.

Mr. Chandler, .a Michigan senator of bellicose Tame,. brought a resolution before the American Upper House, on the 19th of April, to the affect that the President be directed to pen negotiations with England for a settle ment of all claims on the basis of a transfer. of the British North American possessions to the United States. Mr. Chandler is the parliamentary repre'- sentative of the party which believes that the Alabama compensation claims would be fair " dicker" for British nail America. We have not yet the pleasure of learning the full argument by which this proposition was supported ; but Mr. Chandler is of opinion that England, as well as France, staked her American possessions on the success of the rebellion. The conduct Of the Emperor Napoleon towards the North lost him Mexico ; our evil deeds ought to cost us half a continent. The motion appears to have produced some sensation, for gold went up directly in Wall-street, and a war with England became the current topic. But neither of these two effects is so novel as to deserve the name of phenomenon. Gold has gone down again, the war talk has subsided, and Mr. Chandler's resolution has been consigned to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. But really, what with these annexation proposi tions, motions for the recognition of Cuban independence, and inch speeches as that of Mr. Sumner on the Alabama claims, the United States Legislature is not presenting a very dignified appearance at the present moment. The New York papers, however, are beginning to find it necessary to laugh at these extravagancies ; and this is rather a good sign. RECONSTRUCTION. The new Reconstruction Bill, allowing Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi to return to the Union, has become law. As a condition, however, the Legislatures of these States must ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti tution. But this will doubtless be done, for the amend ment simply establishes negro suffrage all over the Union, and the negro is already a voter in the South. The three Legislatures will thus only be imposing in the North a condition of things which already exists in the South. THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. The French Government seems to have made up its mind to lose all the eight circumscriptions of Paris again at the general election. At least the Public, a Ministerial organ, has published an article, in which is expressed the opinion that it is hopeless to expect the benighted Pari sians to vote for an Imperialist. But one fact mentioned by the Parisian correspondent of the 2'imes is worthy of note. The Government has made and is making, the most desperate efforts to oust M. Tillers. The speeches of this statesman are so damaging that he must be got out at any price. But the Government cannot persuade the Paris workmen to vote for anybod3- else. It has, therefore, adopted another expedient. The boun daries of the eight circumscriptions —answering to the " boroughs" of London—have been remodelled, and the division returning M. Thiers has been distorted in the most extraordinary naunr. In stead of forming a compact quarter of Paris, like the City of London is of the metropolis, it has been dragge-1 out into a narrow channel, so as to include the Palace of the Tuileries, a barrack full of gendarmes who are enlisted as electors, and the Prefecture of Police with its voting officials of all kinds. The map of Paris looks ridiculous, but the Government gets the votes of the prefecture and the barrack against M. 'Tiers. MAZZINTAN PLOTS. • If the Wanderer of yienna is to- be believed, the great centre of agitation £4 LUgitilo by no means confines the distribution of its revolutionary favours to Italy. A Coup. de-main is in preparation for the benefit of the small Eastern States. A general rising is contemplatel in the Danubian Principalities, Transylvania, Hungary, and that portion of Christian Turkey which is not under semi independent rule. All these States have been "well worked," the Wanderer assures us, by revolutionary emissaries. Neither Kossuth, Mazzini, nor Garibaldi is a stranger to this scheme. The apprehensions of the Wanderer may be taken for what they are worth, but it may be mentioned that the chances of success for the Republicans are small indeed. The Austrian Govern ment is very strong at the present moment, and the sick man, for an invalid, was never better in his life. A more substantial piece of revolutionary intelligence !s the fact that the leader of the Milan conspirators, Braz zoduro, has escaped the vigilance of the authorities, and has got clear off to Luzano. But the Milanese officials have secured fifteen prisoners, and are making the most of them. A " vigorous examination," says the Pungolo, is now going on. The Florence correspondent of the Patric confirms the general impression that the Garibaldians ha :l no direct share in the plot, though well aware of its existence. ITALIAN PAIITIES. A very important redistribution of Italian parties is now taking place. The present Menabrea Ministry has held its ground well, but it is composed almost wholly of Tuscans. The Piedmontese element, though by no means allied with the Left, has hitherto held aloof. But a coalition has at length been arranged. Not only the Piedmontese, but the group of the Third Party, under the leadership of Signor Mordiui, will join General Mena brca. The terms of the alliance have been agreed upon between Iticasoli, Ferrari, Mordini, and Menabrea. The latter will resign and will reconstitute his Cabinet, most of his Tuscan colleagues being thrown overboard to make room for the Piedmontese and Third Party. Count Cambray-Digny's financial scheme will be adopted in full by the coalition of the present Cabinet. Only this Minister, Menabrea, and Viate will be retained. Such are the details given by the Independance Beige, and sub. stantially they are confirmed by other authorities, especially the Temps. Beyond doubt the position of the Italian Government must be greatly strengthened by such a coalition. The Rattazzi party is said to be in great trouble at this union. The fact is that the Piedmontese have long felt themselves in a false position, joined as they were with Rattazzi and the Left against the Government. The more Rattazzi identified himself with democratic projects, the more discontented they became, and at length they have "gone over." SPAIN. Another outbreak, similar to the deplorable risings at Malaga and Cadiz, has just been stifled at Seville. The correspondent of the Conatitutionnel says the' a milita./ conspiracy bas been preparing there for some tune. A rising in favour of a republic was contemplated. Several battalions were implicated, and the pronunciamiento was on the point of being declared, when the customary informer divulged everything. The Constitutionad says that the Republicans are systematicallygetting up risings such as those at Cadiz and Malaga for the purpose of preventing all "monarchical combinations" on the part of the majority. But sedition is by no means a likely mode of preventing the union of the Monarchists. INTERNATIONAL COINAGE. Austria has taken a step towards the adoption of the French system of international coinage. The Government is about to lay before the Reichsrath a bill to legalise the coining of ten and twenty-franc pieces. The same course, it is believed, will be taken with regard to Hungary. The French monetary system is rapidly spreading all over Europe. _ A LITERARY DISCOVERY. A the literary world by the series of whi c h lette rs . Pro fessor Owen has just made public. They e the collection of M. Chasles, the Frenchrea e f deml Academi cian, who has presented them to the library of the Institute, where they are now open to public inspection. The publication of the etters by i the Acadenzie des Sciences is a strong argument in favour of their authenticity, though Professor Owen cautiously refrains from expressing an opinion on the subject. Should they prove to be genu ine / they will possess the highest interest, and they will certainly exhibit some w ell-known historical characters in a new light. The two first are from Louis XIV. to Cassini, and the King speaks of entrusting his correspondent with the task of writing a life of Galileo, i n which fulljustice shall be done to the discoveries of "that great astronomer." Louis XIV. also refers .. to a cor respondence between his father (Loins XIII.) and an Italian Cardinal respecting the persecutions of Galileo." Further on comes a letter from Galileo himself, in which he thanks the King for the generous invitltion brought to him by the Ambassador of Rome, and for other proofs of his Majesty's interest in him. All this is very different from the popularly received notions of the grand rnonarque's toleration and enlightenment. Not the least interesting portion of the series are the letter professing to be writt en by John Milton to Lotus XIV., to Voiture, and to 3lolie and . h 'Theyte charges allreferbrtoougthhte againstastronomerhim andby he t his letters, Jesuits.
