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. 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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.C. 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 premium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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 lingest 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 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 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WASTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

(From the Anglo-Anierkon Ypres.) We are invited to lay before our readers a chance in a curious lottery, the Galleon Treasure Venture, as given in our advertising columns. In the reign of Queen Anne during the war between England and Holland on the one side, and France and Spain on the other, Admiral Rooke and the Duke of Ormond with a fleet and an army which had failed in an attack of Cadiz, were on their way home when the English Minister at Lisbon induced them to ma 4 a dash at Vigo, where a rich convoy of plate ships from the New World bad taken re fuge. They arrived on the 22d October, 1702, and after a vigorous resistance captured and de stroyed the fleet. Six galleons, containing seven million pieces of Eight in plate and merchandise, were taken, the remaining eleven or twelve with the computed value of six millions of bullion being burnt or sunk. This was Vie fate of the richest flotilla that ever reached a European port, and was duly trumpeted over England an 1 Holland as a Qplt , ndid v i c . ory. About the facts there is no ques tion, and the proof is ample that a large portion of the treasure went to the bottom in the vess is. In 1859 an English engineer obtained from the Spanish Government authority to seek for and recover the treasure. After much 1 %bour and expense he dis covered and marked by buoys the position of nine of these ships, all of which were in a fair state of preservation, though so surrounded by mud as to have assumed the appearance of mounds. Not having the necessary capital to raise these vessels, he communicated with Colonel Gowen, well known for his success in recovering the men-of war and other vessels sunk in the roadstead of Sevastopol. The Colonel proceeded to Vigo during the early part of the present month, which he saw as a land-locked harbour was admirably adapted for the proposed work, presenting an agreeable contrast to that of Sevastopol. On examining the nine vessels he found that the deepest lay under 8i fathoms of water, ranging up to sf. Four of them had not been burnt, and the hulls of the others were almost perfect. On board one the anchor was at her bows, a mortar and gun-wheel were an her deck. He cleared the mud, generally two feet, from the deck of another, and beneath were bricks, which, on being removed, exposed the deck planks six inches wide by five thick, shewing that he had hit on the floor of her cook house. The richest of the ships , A as taken by the Admiral, but in going through the North Channel, towards which he was driven the Monmouth prize struck on a sunken rock and immediately foun dered, but as many frigates were near all the men were saved except two. Col. Gowen supposes this rock to be the same on which her Majesty's ship America struck in 1842 in front of the South Channel. The bottom is rocky, but he thinks there is a reasonable chance of finding the lost treasure by the aid of divers. The only attempt made to recover the treasure was 20 years ago by the diving bell, which does not ad mit of any practical result, the divers being unable to descend into the holds or bottoms of vessels ; and he adds, "now with the modern invention of sub marine armour, the divers can examine the hold and every portion of a submerged vessel, and carry on their work with almost equal facility as on land. My inspection, therefore, completely satisfies me as to the practicability of recovering the treasure, and that at an outlay which your capital fully provides for." The scheme is, however, brought before the public as a venture, being of an entirely speculative character, though it is thought that the recovery of the treasure from one ship would concession 25 the be sufficient to satisfy the most sanguine ex pectations. of what the terms of the is recovered Spanish Government and by agreement 7f per goes to cent. to the concessionaire, who is also to get £5,000 for the expenses already incurred, including the plant and materials in hand. This is a strange venture, which so caricatures history that the Eng lish of Queen Victoria's time are invited, with the concurrence of the Spanish Government, to recover for their own benefit the Spanish fleet their ancestor sunk in the time of Qteen Anne in a harbour of Spain. HONOURABLE D ISCH A RGE OF Mn. B. R. KEITH.—.. After a rigid examination in the Court of Bankruptcy, Mr. B. 11. Keith, of the late firm of Belding, Keith, and Co., was honourably acquitted, on Thursday, of any par ticipation in the events which su unexpectedly wrecked that house. 'We wore not aw ire that such charges had over been brought against him, as we thought that the extraordinary circumstances which destroyed the business were known to have been caused by an aberration of mind iu the partner then remaining in London, and which even tually led him into suicide. The assignees opposed, on the grounds of excessive expenditure, rash and hazardous speculations, and contracting debts without reasonable ex pectation of payment, but Mr. Commissioner Bacon not only acquitted Mr. Keith of these charges, but fully ac quitted the firm. He remarked on one item of expense for entertaining customers, that it was the ordinary and well known practice of all large mercantile houses in London, and, ho asserted, that had it Lot been for the sudden departure, in so unlooked-for a man ner, of Mr. Belding the business might have gone on. Indeed it is now believed that the house would have been a marked success had it not been for the unfortunate infirmi y Mr. Belding is supposed to have inherited. There is no use, however, in crying over spilt milk, and we now allude to those facts only to do an act of justice we consider to be due to Mr. Keith, to whom our article written on the receipt of the astounding intelligence of the failure of this firm did injustice and gave pain. His Honour said that Mr Keith had bean unfortunate, but not culpable, and had acquitted himself in the face of the Court and of his creditors with credit to himself, and an order was granted for an allowance to him out of the estate, an un usual circumstance, proving how very favourable was the impression left on the Commissioner's mind. Now that velocipedes are the fashion the follow ing paragraph from the Philadelphia Post may be of inte rest : —l , The latest vehicular invention (but still, like great many inventions, one of the earliest known) is the property of a Milesian of Philadelphia. He calls it a wheel ocipede.' It has the advantage of only needing one wheel, and is not only one of the most useful of this description of vehicles, but absolutely the safest. The operator rests his feet on the ground, and his whole body upon his feet, and guides the arrangement by means of a pair of bars. It is capable of use in building operations, for the conveyance of earth, sand, and such materials, and will doubtless su persede, in the end, all the bicyles and other descriptions of velocipedes." The lands granted according to the Report of the Secretary of the Interior to the United States Senate, un der existing laws for railroads and waggon roads to States, Territories, and corporations, up to Jan. 30, 1867, is 21,561,000 acres; for canals nearly 4,500,000 acres. The quantity certified to the following-named States since that date is as follows : —Minnesota, for railroads, 670,000 acres; California, railroads, 26,000 acres; Wisconsin, waggon roads, 72,000 acres; Oregon, waggon roads, 19,000 acres ; Michigan, canals, 280,000 acres; making a grand total of 27,000,000 acres. sian papers as announcing th e presence, in St. Petersburg, of the American Gen eral Sharma n• The General having .
