The Directors of this Company, in deference to en ob jection not infrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Lite Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgide the present Tables, and to issue Acsurances under them whit.h ohnn be absolutely - Uuforfeitable, 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 cialls 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 bo paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex presslywhat t s at i ti l i m nuesd e s a d n at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance . i n g l' e ll i e hasestrsal assure re n e fi w x a e y a . s sum have the psy op b p t l e i on ut o of r e e n t e a a i s n e - , 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 1 ugest 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.

HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The iuterest 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 aro nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of lest year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of preminins paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of mrnagement 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 5-1 per rent. on the total income. The is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.

As the mines of the. White Pine district will pro aably attract much attention as soon as the winter is over, rendering them more accessible, some infor mation regarding them may now prove of interest. he district is believed to lie in latitude 39 deg. 20 min. N., and in longitude 115 deg. 20 min. W. from Washington ; its altitude varying from 7,000 to 11,000 feet above the level of the sea. Its dis tance and bearing is from Austin, E.S.E. 120 miles; from Belmont, N.E. 140 miles ; from Hico, in the Pahranagat country, and county seat of Lincoln County, N.N.W. 150 miles, and from Elco, the nearest station on the Central Pacific Railroad, S. 115 miles—as the toll-road now being built to that point will probably run. It consists of an area of 12 square miles near the north end of the White Pine Mountains. Upon one of these heights is Treasure 11W, where the principal mines are situ ated, the ledges appearing on every side of it., and extending up its slopes, composed for the most part of huge benches of limestone, fro:n be,se to summit. This hill, which runs north and south, is about 5 miles longby 31 iniles broad men:eared over its salmit, its altitude being about 1,600 feet above the en circling valley at its base, and 9,000 feet above the sea level. Although the exact amount of the bullion already extracted has not been ascertained, it is roughly estimated at $1,700,000. The cost of ex traction has been small, that of hauling and milling having averaged $7O a ton, a portion of the ores having been sent to Austin, and a good deal to Newark, 30 miles distant, for reduction. Some of the most experienced miners from South America and Mexico speak confidently of the prospects of White Pine, as a prolific and permanent silver-pro ducing district. Although only a few months since the first consignment of ore to San Francisco, White Pine already possesses a population of 3,000 men, and of these 1,000 are constantly engaged in takingout ore, thequantity daily averaging 300 tons, valued at from $2OO to $5OO per ton. At $2OO, the yield of a year, counting 300 working days, would be $15,000,000. The Eberhardt Company have worked 700 tons, which assayed $l,OOO per ton, and yielded $5O in the mill. The White Pine News is a local newspaper, just started, published by Pitchford and and Simpson, at Treasure City, containing notices of White Pineprices—winter immigration and work —water supply—road repairs needed—description of the mines—reports of discoveries, &c. The stage line between Visalia and White Pine was to be opened in February. Elko, ten or fifteen miles from Maggie Creek, and near Humboldt Canon, is the starting point of another waggon road to White Pine. The great want of water will shortly be remedied, for A. W. Von Schmidt, the engineer who planned and superintended the construction of the Spring Valley Water Works, has made arrangements to supply Hamilton from spriega three miles eistant, which discharge regularly 300 inches of exec:lent water. Of coarse the building material is in re quest, and lumber at White Pine sells at $175 and $2OO l'er thousand. Wag,es range about. $6 a day. Governor Bias :el. of Nevada, who visited San Francisco recently on behalf of the Aurora Conso lidated Mining Company of White Pine District, entered into a cantract with Frank Livingston to furnish for one year all the ore which a 30-stamp mill, to be erected by the latter, can work—from 8,000 to 12,000 tons—at $25 per ton, being half of the present White Pine rates ; and the ores are to be worked by Livingston to 80 per cent. of the fire assay. Governor Blasdel esti mates the average yield at $lOO to the toe ; so that 10,000 tons would pro Luce $1,000,000. Edward B. Dorsey, Mining Engineer, who has just returned from White Pine, rep arts that a care ful examination of the ore deposits there convinces him fully of their close similarity in character to the mines with which he was formerly connected at Chanarcillo, Chili; except that the several veins which be has been able to recognize as such are contact veins, and that they contain a good deal of quartz in the gangue. The Virginia Enter prise, of the 22d of December, reports : The• White Pine fever continues unabated, though it is somewhat leas virulent at present than a month since. Nearly everybody has it in a mild form, and the majority expect to linger in the vicinity until towards spring. Almost daily somebody leaves fur the " poor man's i..aradi-e," but there is co grand rush. The news from the mines continues Cv e lSig ni c i t e ir t i — ou v in v oCa v trifel i s l L ° . l l e n t g n e e b eeT i ll e os f s° l ; at the Eberhardt mine, as the first notice of a claim :—" White Pine District, Aug. sth, 1867 : Know all men (or one woman, for then all will know), that the undersigned, who is au individual of limited means, but of unlimited expect itions, locates, clainks, and intends to hold and work two claims of 200 ft. each on this ledge, containing, as he believes and hopesit does, gold, silver,calcspar, feld spar, and spar the barkeep, besides other precious metals too-numerous to mention, together with all the dips, spurs, and angles and triangles,rangi ng from vertical to horizontal, and will work the same ac cording to Hoyle' and the very liberal laws of White Pine District.

The latest telegram from San Fran cisco, dated Feb.l9, says:—'- The excitement about the White Pine mines is increasing. 54 companies have gone to the mines, and there been incorpo rated, with nominal capitals aggregatings62,ooo,ooo. The Board of Brokers is considering the propriety of establishing more stringent rules regulating the admission of new etocks." PARAGUAY. The Minister of the Argentine Republic has re ceived a letter from his chief, the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, announcing the termination of the Paraguayan war. It is not easy for us to unravel the truth about Lopez. Of course, those who have conducted the war against him as strenuously en deavour to defame his character as to destroy all his material prospects in life. The Minister of Foreign Affairs writes in the bitterest strain of the monster of cruelty and cowardice who has fled, after his horrible excesses, instead of falling like a brave man at the side of his victims. "We have avenged," he says, " the honour of the nation, we have liberated Paraguay from its tyrannical ruler, and we have spared South America the shame of having at the head of one of her States a man of a more ferocious character than any of the many tyrants that have so much afflicted her." He ad mits that there would have been a degree of gran deur in Lopez's defence had it not been for the hor rible means he used to obtain it. He "has re spected neither weakness, family ties, nor the laws of war ; shooting his prisoners, the wives of his chief officers when their husbands were defeated, and even his own brother and sister." He promises to send an enquiry, carefully compiled, which will con firm what he says, and "clearly prove that the great energy shown in this war by the Paraguayans, far from beifg the effects of a lofty spirit, is nothing but the material force of a despotized people sus tained and encouraged by tnereterror." If we wanted to get the true character of a man the last person we would go to would be the enemy who had ruined him, and Europe is not likely to attach much portance to any testimony about Paraguay reported by the Allies. There never was a defence yet made by a people which the despot and,tbe conqueror have not thus stigmatized. Every invaded people bring a pressure to bear on their own inhabitants which compels all men capable of bearing arms to rise in defence of their country, and that very compulsion, perhaps -.nest strongly exercised by the women, furnishes the ground for the invader's charge. We continue to regard the defence of Paraguay as one of the most noble recorded in history, and the at tack on it by almost a combined continent as a wicked and wanton invasion, which will require a very dif ferent justification from anything yet advanced. At the same time we freely admit that Lopez must be judged by his acts ; and we, in common with the world, will listen to no excuse for wanton and bar barous cruelty bat we prefer to await the report of the American Minister, General M'Mahon, who ac companied Lopez in his r e tre a t, b e f ore we form any opinion, more especillly on the conspiracy con cocted by the Allies among the Paraguayans against the inderendence of the State they had invaded, which Lopez took such summary and perhaps un justifiable means to supprcrs. The Argentine Le gation furnished the following as the latest intelli gence :—" The former news is confirmed. Lopez is in hiding. The Councillor Paranhos, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has left for Asuncion, and the Minister of Marine, the Baron Cotegipe, fills his place temporarily. Caxiaß, Herval, and Admiral Juhanoma have already returned from Asuncion. General Souza has been appointed Commander-in- Chief of the Allied Forces in Paraguay. The greatest harmony exist between the Allies. Ex change, 19d." G - 7_ - - -- - - -.-- • -z- - - -- = - _~-~
