The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonne valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary. London, March 18, 1869. ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issned by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O, 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 thorn which shall be 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 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 premium paid, bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre "minms 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 sot 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 withou,t 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 bo called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—ft matter of great importance whore 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 vround whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absoluto Security Policies. 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.

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 interest received during the year is £117,584 75. 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 £5 12s. 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 terminated by death and other causes.

C SPRING RICE Hon Sec. - IV 4 ? :4 a: • '.. \ ^ s: ~ ..„-,.....7 4 .,,....- i it. ~ = Air it 4' • (From the An to-An • ,r , - - -- During the week preceding tbsitep re 51 the mail a curious trial was progressing in New York. William H. Mumler has been tried on a charge of swindling, and New York has had another sensa tional episode in Court. Mumler is a spirit-photo grapher, who profesttes to take likenesses of those who have departed this life, and drove so lucrative a trade thereby, that the police deemed it necessary to arrest him and charge him with obtaining money under false pretences. He professed to take the photographs of the living, while the shadowy ghost of the departed could be traced on the picture. Specimens were handed into court, which gave widows a. ith their husbands' apparitions behind them ; mothers with their children on their knees ; and Mr. Mumler boldly asserted, and then brought witnesses to swear, that the impressions were from genuine spirits. Much evidence was taken to prove tha,`, in the features could be traced the linea mentsof the spirits they professed to represent. There was no mistake as regarded the spectres, for they ap pearel on the photograph ; the mystery was, how ? On the 26th April the defence obtained leave to re-open their case in order to examine another witness, when the prosecution submitted testimony, which proved that the spirit photographs could be taken by .neans of a double negative. Of the num ber handed into Court in testimony a witness se lected ten as thus taken ; but the others he attri buted to a different process, though all could be produced by mechanical means. Desirous of ex posing the trick be offered Mnnaler $5OO to inspect his process, but no opportunity was afforded him. Mr. O. G. Mason, Secretary of the Photographic branch of the American Institute, had examined these photographs, and was certain they were the result of scientific processes. He described how it was done, and said he could take them as well SS Mumler. He also specified some half dozen dif ferent ways of procuring the pictures. There are three means by whiala tke. ghosts can be worked— , by a lestaintaatinoaluto the camera ;_ by_ the im position of a positive 'piste upon the negative"; and the transmission of light through it in the - bath. On the 28th another crowd assembled, when the fourth day's proceedings commenced. Abraham Bogardus, a photographer for nearly 23 years, was connected with an association for putting down humbugs of the trade, of which Mumler was not a member. He counted the processes by which spirit photographs could be taken by scores ; he could take a man with an angel over his head, or with a pair of horns on his head. just as he wished. The witness went on to describe some of these processes. " They are made by taking a plate and coating it in the usual way, having an impression taken by any camera out of reach or sight of the sitter, and then putting the plate back into the coating bath, it might be left there as long as you like, and when a sitter comes it can be used, and the first impression will appear with the figure of the sitter; this is easily done ; in referring to exhibition No. 20, for the People, in which a hand of the shadowy figure is represented as placed in the hair of the sitter, the witness said that effect was easily produced, and by a little manceuvering the arm might be made to encircle the waist ; numbers 21 and 22 are made from sit ters ; the first is taken from a copy ; in taking these pictures, we first take a dim impression from sitters prepared for that purpose, sometimes from a lady dressed in white and veiled over, and this im pression might be preserved for almost any length of time ; I could take them less distinct ; that can be done by not having a proper focus ; the more the figure is out of the focus, the more indistinct the picture ; when the focus is perfect the minia ture is perfect, such as the eyebrows, &c. ; the re cognition of the spirit likenesses depends upon the imagination of the person sitting. I have known persons to come into my gallery and require a por trait of Henry Clay as General Jackson ; I have seen a perfect picture taken, and heard four or five relatives standing by say there was no likeness what- I have also known persons to come in and want to purchase a portrait of a child, believing it to be that of one of their children, when I have known it Ins been taken from some one else. No. 24 (produced) was taken yesterday from P. T. Barnum, Esq. ; in NO3. 21 and 13 for the defence, the so-called spirits could not have been in front of the camera. No. 13 is evidently a copy from an oil picture, and, I believe, was made by the proc •ss I have described. If the camera was good for any thing, the focus would have reached the picture had it been in front. No. 21, for the- defence (the Livermore picture), is, to speak, emphatically, a transparent lie on its face, the shadow on the sitter being on one side, the shadow of the spirit on the ever. SPIRIT-PHO other ; it shows that the two pictures must have been taken at different times. No. 22, for The People, is taken by the process I have described." Having assented, in reply to a question, that he was a believer in the Bible, the counsel, Mr. Townsend, read from the 21 to the last verse of the 29th chap ter of Ist Samuel, asking the witness at the con clusion if he believed the spirit alluded to therein had language and appearance.. But such questions not being permitted, he offered, as showing spirit appearances, the 10th chap. Genesis, 6th t) 9th verse; 19th chap. Genesis, from Ist to 27th verse, 17th chap. and 19th verse ; 22d chap. 10th to 19th ver-ae; Numbers, 22d chap. and 35th-:verse sfh Joshua,- 13th to 15th seise ; ,6th chap.

The photographer, how ever, obstinately adhered to his statement that no likeness could be taken of a person after death with out a copy. Mr. Barnum, of all men, was then examined, touching a certain correspondence some the t h h i n s m dea bu ir g e s b ha o d ok tol r d ep: i e r s . e m nt u it m t to of pu t r h t, e th w as o e rld,he years ago when Mr. Barnum was about to write a representing speci mens of his spirit-photographs for the museum, the humbug of which he was going to expose. For several years the photographs, for which he then gave too dollars a-piece, were on the walls of the museum ; the spirits of Napoleon I. and Henry Clay being among them, exact like nesses of the well-known engravings. The chapter in his book, " Humbugs of the World" on Spirit photographs, referred to Mumler. He went on the previous day to Mr. Bogardus' Gallery, and was taken with the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Cross examination elicited the following replies :—" I have never been in any humbug business, where I did not give value for the money ; these spitit photographs were labelled humbug' on the walls of my Museum; the woolly horse Ins a remarkable reality and curiosity ; it was exactly what I repre sented it to be, having a peculiar form and curled hair; it was exactly a woolly horse ; it was not a horse wooled over ;' the horse was • born' exactly as he was when exhibited in my hlusem, and there was nothing artificial about him. The mermaid, at the time I exhibited it, was re presented to the public to be precisely as it was represented to me. I never had reason to doubt that it was what I represented it to be. Have you never presented to the public, matters you knew to be untrue, and taken money for the exhi bition of spurious curiosities ?—A. : I think I may have given a little drapery with it sometimes. (Laughter.) Q.: How about the nurse of George Washington. Did you believe she was the person you represent her to be ?---A.: I have n o belief about it. I bought her as such , and the bill of sale has never been disproved.
