The panic at the Vienna Bourse and the financial vita. tion prevailing throughout Germany, is attributed by Frankfort bankers to reports of the death of the French Emperor having been circulated in a critical state of the market. There had been great overtrading with paper in Vienna, which had long been expected to result in a crisis by those familiar with Austrian finances. A letter written from Vienna to the .2Torth Eastern Correspondent says that the small speculators have been the chief victims ; none cf the large houses being yet shaken. The disaster has fallen more particularly on those per sons who wished to profit by the late sudden and enor mous fluctuations to spring at one bound into the ranks of the great financiers. So long as the crisis shall fall only on these persons no intervention of the Banker the Govern ment is to be expected. Some relief is expected from the considerable sums necessarily put in circulation by the approaching payment of the coupons, which can only be liquidated in specie.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus 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 bo 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 Lifo, 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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. ----- Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 ou the ground that, i n; ne 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 ox 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 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 bo without any conditions as to voya g ing, 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 elms 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 ht-1,1 as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute Security Pnl ieies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses au income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains tho largest amount of new business of any &lice in the Kingdom.

The press of Canada has been actively employed in criticising a speech delivered by Sir John Young at a banquet in Quebec. His Excellency expressed his opinion very plainly on the subject of colonial independence, declaring that so long as the Dominion maintained its dependency, England would do nothing to take it away ; but if the Dominion wished to change its position, every thing would be conducted in such a manner that the Dominion might remain for ever an attached friend of the mother country. The prevailing opinion is that complete independence must shortly be accomplished, but that the time has not actually arrived. The question of reciprocal trade between Canada and theUnitedStates must before long engage attention. The absence of reciprocity has affected various interests, and the New York Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution in favour of reciprocal trade with Canada. It is believed that the visit of the Hon. John Rose to Washington had some connection with this sub- I jest, and that some satisfactory negotiations will be entered upon. The crops are unusually fine, and there is every prospect that this year's harvest will be the largest and moat satisfactory ever gathered ha Canada. GREAT PIKE NEAR PRIL/DELPRIA. A disastrous conflagration occurred at Cape May, the fashionable watering-place, near Philadelphia, on the 31st of August. Two hotels, the Post Office, and twenty stores were consumed, the total loss amounting to more than a quarter of a million dollars. Nearly one-fourth of the city was destroyed before the flames could be suppressed. The fire originated at the store of a pearl diver named Boyton, and he was arrested in the course of the day, being suspected of incendiarism. Two other fires occurred the same day in Philadelphia itself. One of them destroyed a private club stable containing forty horses, only one of which was saved. The other broke out in a picture gallery adjoining the Continental Hotel, and many valuable paintings were burned. A fireman was killed by falling through a sky light. At Quincy, Illinois, there was another con flagration. A freight depot of the Chicago and Quincy Railroad Company took fire, and between twenty and thirty laden freight cars were destroyed, at a loss of $lOO,OOO. PO7ULATION OF NEW YORK. The people of New York have no reliable data to spew the increase of their population since 1860, the census of 1865 being looked upon as wholly fallacious. An estimate of the present population was made a few weeks ago by good authorities, and this brought the number to 1,118,767. New York is a more healthy city than Paris, and almost as healthy as London, but sanitary reform has not mtde much progress there. The lower parts of the city are more densely packed with human beings than any part of London or Paris. They are full of the very worst description of "tenement houses," in which the people are packed almost as closely as they are on board of an emigrant ship. The death rate among the tenement population is very high, and it is generally believed to be 40 in each 1,000. Some have declared that the ordinary estimate of the population is too large, because the num ber of deaths is only a little greater than it was eighteen years ago, while the population, according to the esti mate, has doubled in that period. The sanitary con dition of the city has greatly improved in the interval, but not to a sufficient extent to account for the discrepancy. The tricks of politicians are suspected to have interfered with the census of 1865. The representa tion of the city in the National and State Legislature depends on its population ; as it is hopelessly "Demo cratic," it is the interest of the Republicans to make the population appear as small as possible ; and this is probably the reason why the census of 1865 was made to chew a decrease of 87,000 upon that of 1860. THE W.lll IN PAR-WHAT. According to the latest intelligence from Paraguay, the Provisional Government of Asuncion finds great difficulty in pacifying the country. Lopez holds strong positions, and the Allies remain inactive for want of supplies. Their advance on Villa Rica was not opposed by Lopez, who is entrenched in the Cordilleras. The American papers declare that the British subjects under Lopez fare well, and have no desire to leave the country, and that Minister MacMahon took money in charge for them to England. The Buenos Ayres Standard of August 1 declares the ter mination of the war to be extremely probable, as the Brazilian Cabinet finds it hopeless to continue the campaign. Lopez tells the Allies to come on, and retreats among the fastnesses of the mountains as soon as they advance. This hide-and.seek warfare costs him nothing, while the Brazilians are spending millions. The only difficulty in the way of an immediate conclusion to the profitless struggle lies in the triple alliance, which compels the allied army to carry on the war so long as Lopez exists in Paraguay. GRAND BALL AT SIMLA. On the Gth of August a grand ball was given by the Maharajah of Jeypore to the Viceroy and Lady Mayo. It is said to have been the grandest entertainment ever given there. The Assembly Rooms were decorated for the occasion, and the arrangements were so good that there was no crushing, although all Simla was present. His Highness opened the ball with Lady Mayo as his partner, and acquitted himself of his novel performance remarkably well. This first quadrille is a matter of great pros pective social importance, as regards the native population, and others will probably have to follow the example of the Maharajah of Jeypore. The Simla ball was a most successful undertaking, and the tout ensemble of the scene was pronounced to be as imposing as anything of the kind ever previously seen there. Lord and Lady Mayo expressed themselves highly pleased with the manner of their entertainment. THE DURBAR AT AGRA. It seems from the statements in the Indian papers that the great durbar at Agra is to be held after all, and pre- parations on the most extensive scale are being made for it by the native princes. Tents will be erected with solid silver poles, and one prince, it is said, has ordered a set of harness to be manufactured of pure gold, set with precious stones. The Times of India remarks that this may be an exaggeration, but the report shews that the native rulers have resolved upon an unusual display. CATTLE PLAGUE IN INDIA. A cattle murrain is reported from Assam which apears to be exceptionally fatal. At Debroogurh the river is full of carcases, and the stench is said to be intolerable. The disease is not confined to cattle, tigers, wild buffaloes, and pigs being attacked. THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA. The Havana journals do not think that the United States have made any proposal to Spain for the indepen dence of Cuba, and declare that such a proposal would be rejected. The terms to which Cuba would consent are : the payment of the price of the public buildings and her share of the public debt, the independence of the island to be conceded first. No information with regard to the action of Spain, or the proposal to sell Cuba has yet been received at the State department. LIT ERARY. —We are glad to hear, for the sake of Mrs. lialpine, that Miles O'Reilly's (General lialpine) poems have sold so well that his widow gets a comfort able fortune from the sales. The Boston Daily Adverti.ser has been recently sold to a new company for something less than $250,000.—A San Francisco paper says Pro fessor J. D. Whitney, late of the California Geological Survey, is now in Colorado with a class of students from the Harvard Scientific School. Tho Professor expects to visit California previous to his return to the Atlantic States. it may not be generally known that during the year and a half or more since the Geological Survey has been stopped by cutting off its pecuniary support, bath Professor Whitney and Professor Brewer have been more or less employed, at their own cost and expense, in com pleting such portions of the work of the survey as had been fully worked up in the field. Professor Whitney has thus added to the list of the publications of the survey the second volume of the Paleontology of California, and two volumes descriptive of the Yosemite Valley —ono entitled the "Guide Book" to the Yosemite, and the other the "Gift Book." Tho latter is one of the most beautiful and unive of American publications. Professor Brewer, we oelieve, is still devoting what leisure time ho can obtain from his duties at Sheffield School in work on his report upon the botany of California.—Mr. Louis J.
