BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LA FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and 'UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon, E.G. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not uufrequently 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 pt-otnulgrae the present Tables ' and to issue Assurances under them which shall bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. 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 th•-ir pre— miums, the Assurance will beeom , forfeited. To this class of the pul.lie the system now introduced 11 up, 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 mutt in respect of every pentium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 f u ture 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 withkat any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or othOr 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 m atter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. le ue io e r a f b ei i t e al n al n e an d any grounduncon whatever. They - It is only necessary to add that, as a conse q uence of the d p policies , u t n h d e y w e r these i will ma y therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at the Antual 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 £IOO,BM, being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses o f 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 premium 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 preTious 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.—On any Policy for the V , ole of Life, where the age d oes no t excee d 60, 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.

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 now 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 loss 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 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 absorbed by tho company. Tho 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 : Dn. LIABILITIES.

WM. CORBETT, Secretary. LAUNCH OF A TURKISH IRONCLAD. An armour-clad ship for the Turkish Govern ment was launched yesterday from the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company's yard at Blackwal. Though only a small vessel there are peculiarities in her construction which, prima facie, appear to solve the difficult problem of the best mode of fighting the heavy ordnance which will he used in future naval warfare. She is designed by Mr. Geo. C. Mackrow, naval architect to the com pany, who may claim the credit of originating a system combining the best points both of the turret and broad,ide batteries. His thoroughly practical ilea was first developed in a small ironclad of 1,000 tons, built last year for the Greek Government, which carried two 12-ton guns in a fixed midship battery, capabl of firing-fore and aft, or at an angle on the broadside. In the ship launched yesterday, which is only 400 tons larger than the Greek, his first plan has been improved upon, so that four 12-ton guns are car ried. It is difficult to convey a correct ilea of the simple and effective means by which these four guns are arranged to fire either all ahead, all astern, or all on either broadside, converging, in the latter case, on an object at 110 yards' distance. Perhaps it may best be done, however, by stating that fore and aft of this central battery the ship tumbles home above the water line, so as to diminish the spar deck space in such a way that the guns can be pointed from the batttery in the way described. The central batteries or towers are nearly hexago nal, with four ports placed in each angle, so that the guns can be trained to fire either in line with the keel or on the broadside. In fact, the fire of the foremost guns slightly converge. '.lhe two after guns can fire forward with 10 deg. of the keel line, so that if the ship was engaging an enemy directly ahead, a single spoke of the wheel would bring them to bear upon the enemy without affecting the ship's speed. In like manner, if engaging an enemy astern, the two after guns would fire nearly in line with the keel, while the two for ward guns would come within 20 degrees, so that very little interference with the ship's course would bring them to bear directly. It will be seen from this imperfect description that Mr. Mackrow has, for all practical purposes, obtaine I the all-round fire, which makes the turret system so valuable, without the drawbacks of the opening in the deck in which the turret revolves, and of the necessity of having bulwarks to fall down in order to fight the guns. In his system the bulwarks are all iron, fixed inside the lines of fire, and being decked over there is comfortable accommodation for the crew. The free-board in the ship launched yesterday is 11 feet 6 inches, the height of the port sills being 6 feet 6 inches. She bids fair to be a thoroughly seaworthy craft, comfortable even in the worst weather, so that in this respect a practical com parison of her merits against those of the cupola or turret class will be watched with much interest. The Turks appear to have considerable faith in this new system, for they have a sister ship Low under con struction by Mr. Samuda, and a somewhat larger vessel by the Thames Shipbuilding Company. The dimensions of the one just launched are as follows : Length, 8.P., 225 ft. ; breadth, 35ft. 6in.; depth, 20ft.; draft when fully equipped, 16ft. ; engines, 400-horse power; armament, four 12-ton guns, or 300-pounders ; armour-plated Gin., on 10-inch teak backing. The engines are single screw, of 40 no minal horse power, by Messrs. Ravenhill, Hodgson, and Co., who anticipate being able to drive the ship from 13i to 14 knots. The ceremony of christening was performed by Miss Musurus, the daughter of his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, who was present, together with the Turkish Consul, and a goodly party of ladies and gentlemen. Miss Musurus performed her sponsorial duty with charming grace and naiveté, naming the good ship Avni-Illah, or the Divine Assistance. Nothing could be more successful than the launch, for the mo ment the ship's weight came upon the cradles she glided smoothly and swiftly into the muddy water of Bow Creek, and thence was towed at once to the yard of Messrs. Raveubill to have her engines fitted. At a luncheon, which took place after the Lunch, Mr. Peter Rolt, the chairman of the comi any, occupied the chair. After the usual congratulatory toasts, the health of Mr. Watts, the late Constructor of the Navy, was drunk. That g entleman, who had superin tended the building of the ship for the I utkish Government, in returning thanks, paid a very high compliment to the Thames Ironworks and Ship Building Company for the integrity they had always displayed in the execution of their contracts.
