DIT BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids' and Infants' Food. b Y THE REVALENTA ARABIOA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most .disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de rangements, hcemorrheids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the bead and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAnnow.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazeilt du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- FORFEITABLE, 'UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 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, 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 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 assure i 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 lon,, , sest 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 mait.tain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are 11,111 as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a censsquence of the eng ss,,Ate.iehstlcisi)eitneavl,,. whatever. they r t b i e ter u e n f c o l r i e nl b i rolicies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon rity P,4]ieies. e a d ny Ats r° ol u u n t ( o l e A s au income of .4 15 A ,0 5 0 5 0 U . 11 3 A ,e 1: 1, C , E tCsopl,l,sPi position is puons.- questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new e busineNs of :Inv office in the Kingdom.

The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £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 £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 X 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 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. LIABILITIES.

On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the cr.rn pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 ss. 3d. Th e direction of the company is now co nstituted as follows : The Right Hon. Sir JOHN YOUNG, Bart., K.C.B. Chair man. W ILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE Esq., Deputy- Chairman. I Charles Bischoff, Esq. Chas. Thos. Holcombe, Esq. Thomas Boddington, Esq. Joshua Lockwood, Esq.

The repeal of the Tenure-of-Office Act hangs fire in the Senate, though at once passed by the House under General BUTLER'S lead on the assem bling of the new Congress. Vice-President COLFAX laid the House Bill before the Senate on the 10th inst., and it was called up by Mr. THAYER, Mr. TRUMBULL moving that it be referred to the Judi ciary Committee, before whom there was a similar bill with an amendment, and this was carried by 34 to 25. Senator NORTON was the only Democrat who voted for Mr. TRUMBULL'S motion, all of that party favouring the repeal. Some conversations with General GRANT on the Tenure-of-Office Act have found their way into the papers. In one case a Senator with several applications for office drawn ont to be ',resented, called on the PRESIDENT, by whom his attenti )n was directed to the division on the question, GRANT asking whether the restriction. w.ts not opp ,evd to the American theory of gove•,n inent He considered it, he went on to pay, a great stride towards a revolution, that the incam bents of subordinate offices, formerly subject to con stant change (the PnEstpEsr and members of Con gress themselves being equally liable), should now be invested with a life into-rest unless charges are preferred against them to be tried before the Senate, the tribunal which tries judges. Another step, added the PRESIDENT, might make these offices hereditary, remarks which proved so little agree able to the Senator that he put his applications into his pocket and quietly retired. Other interviews took place with Representatives, in which GRANT assumed a position wherein it is expected he will prove a thorn in the side of the Radical Senators. He says, " If the law is not repealed, I shall remove no mm from office except for cause." " Not a Democratic office-holder, and a Johnson-man ?" "No," was the answer. " I shall protect office-holders who do their duty, whatever may be their politics, if the law remains, against both Executive and Sena torial inteifercnce. I have said this to Senators, and the justice of the view was acknowledged." Office-holders can be removed without the trial to which GRANT referred, as was the case with Mr. JOHN M. BINCKLEY, Solicitor of Internal Revenue, who was " promptly ditched" on the application of Commissioner ROLLINS, who asserted that he was either a wilful perjuror or the credulous tool of cor rupt and malicious men. He has not done an hour's duty for five months, but has regularly drawn his salary at the rate of $4,000 per annum. Not only is he wholly unqualified, but he does not even claim to he a lawyer; and it is passing strange that, un der such circumstances, he should have found his way into the office of Solicitor of Internal Revenue, and held it in spite of his official superiors, waiting, in utter disregard of appearances, till he was ejected. Although a leading article is not exactly the place, we cannot refrain from telling what Mr. ROLLINS got for this report. About eight o'clock on the morning of the 11th instant JOHN M. BINCKLEY met him at the corner of Fourteenth-street, oppo site Willard's Hotel. if the ex-solicitor could do no lawbusiness, he took instantand impressive steps to show the ex-Commissioner that he was an expert in pugilism. In truth, his proceedings would have looked the unqualified admiration of the " Prize Ring." Off went his coat, up went his sleeves ; but as these demonstrations only hurried Mr. ROLLINS' movements, Mr. BINCKLEY was obliged to put on his coat to pursue the retiring Commissioner. Later he met Mr. HARLAN in New York Avenue, upon whose face he freely used his cane, when, with the honours of war thick upon him, he surrendered to the police, and was bailed in the sum of 4300. Without such cause assigned, however, GRANT will not dismiss Government employes, and without such ejection how are the hosts of applicants who have swarmed into Washington to be satisfied? One of his visitors remarked that General GRANT'S case differed from Mr. LINCOLN'S, in whose time there was no Tenure-of-Office Act; adding, that " Now we shall 'have to defer to the Senators more." But if there are no offices to give, each incumbent being in for life, the Senate will lose equally with the PRESIDENT ; and, regarded from this point of icw, we hope the Act may not be repealed, as it will smooth the way for the passage of Mr. JENCKES'S reform of the Civil Service. "I. he PRESIDENT con curs, however, in the general impression that the law will be repealed this session, ani it is evident that if no', there will be no small split between the two Houses of Congress. The following telegram fro:n WaAington, March 24 h, was published in London on Thursday : " The Senate has, by 37 sg:Lin4 1G votee, passed a Bill modifying the 'Tenure-of-Office Act, so as to permit the President, without assigning reasons, to suspend officers and to appoint their successors, whose rejection by the Senate, however, should reinstate the former. The ab solute removal of officials by the President remains still prohibited. The bill now goes to the House of Represen tatives." _ _ The Senate keep the nut, but do not mind leaving the PRESIDENT and the Representatives the shell; but whether this will satisfy the House remains to be seen. Without the power of removal public business would have got into a state of collapse, but the Senate retain the privilege of keeping officials in office in spite of the PRESIDENT, however ob noxious to him, so they lessen but little the power they held over ANDREW JOHNSON. SHOCKING CATASTROPHE AT SEA. --~--- -- The Waterford Company's steamer Leda, Capt. William Coveney, which left Oporto on the 19th inst., with a cargo of fruit and cattle, for London, put into Plymouth at 11 o'clock on Thursday night. Near Cape Finisterre on Saturday, the 20th inst., at about 2 p.m., she followed for sonic distance a four-masted screw steamer, which appeared to be in great distress. This vessel was very deep aft, and suddenly went down, stern foremost. The Leda steered up immediately, and found a number of the crew floating about and endeavouring to save themselves. Two quarter boats (one in charge of the chief officer, M. Pratt) were at once lowered, and each succeeded in rescuing five men ; three were picked up by the ship. Of those saved, three were on the bottom of one lifeboat and three on the bottom of another. They were large, serviceable boats, which turned bottom up when the steamer went down. There was no time to lower them by the ordinary mode. The other men saved were floating on spars. The body of one man was found in a life-buoy, with his head under water. While the crew were in the w ater, a clipper schooner, name unknown, and showing no colours, sailed close to them, but passed on without rendering any assistance ; the schooner was so close that she was hailed by one man in the water, who was answered by those on board •; she appeared to steer for the harbour of Morose. The vessel which sank proved to be the Italian, 1,500 tons, Captain Patrick Urquhart, belonging to Messrs. John Bibby and Co., of 21, Water-street, Liverpool, from Trieste March 5, with general cargo. It ap pears that she struck on a sunken rock about five miles off Cape Finisterre, and went down in ten minutes; wind, N.E., moderate. The steamer had five hatchways, and the water poured in by the fourth and fifth, which were abaft the engine -room. When she went down she had on board a crew of 39 ; so that 26 have perished, besides three passen gers—the stewart of a yacht, who had paid his pas sage from Corfu, and two distressed British sub jects sent home by the Consul, one of whom was a carpenter named George Wilkinson, belongingto Hull, the other a seaman belonging to Harwich. The names of those saved are Patrick Urquhart, master ; John Howard, chief officer ' • John Harris, s econd officer ; Roger Barry, third officer ; John Sullivan, Andrew Smith, William Mooran, Patrick Kenolty, and William O'Neal, seamen; George Murray, Patrick Laughlin, and Charles Seguin, firemen ; and Thomas Walmesley, boy. The rescued men received every comfort on board the Leda, and on landing at Plymouth were sent to the Sailors' Home. With the exception of the master and mates, they were. early yesterday morn ing, despatched by rail to Liverpool through the agency of the Shipwrecked Mariners Society. The master and mates left by the Bristol mail train at 12.30 p.m. DuNvILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
